veteran-class

[tall torrent]

And it looks sick

But no we get either/or

[last parcel]

much better than the mask + fore skin combo

[elder fiber]

I miss big beta helm

[zenith sandal]

It would be nice to have cosmetics improved to have helmets and face gear but I guess so much stuff wouldn’t work with them

Also the mobian stuff all looks so goofy

Can see why the heretics painted it black

What’s the local space marine chapter?

Think it’s a successor

[delicate hornet]

i like the blue moebian stuff, theres just not much to match it with outside of the set

[scarlet path]

Should i pick this up for the blessing?

[zenith sandal]

I’m torn between getting a rashad or a mk6 power sword idk which I’d rather

I’m going to have the money to get a good roll on them regardless of what I take

[umbral scaffold]

power sword

gamer crusher kills

[zenith sandal]

I’m running a hellebore 3 tho so I dunno how much I care for it

Leaning towards the axe because I use so many melee weapons that use a special alt mode

Kinda tempted to grab this

[hard cave]

This looks really good but the mask needs a secondary color, too much blue

[zenith sandal]

Just bare with the fact I need to use an off meta blessing

[hard cave]

Actually, could u show the helm and mask combo on the entire outfit?

[tall torrent]

It’s from a cosmetic mod which I don’t use

[hard cave]

[tall torrent]

Honestly it looks alright to me

They might do a recolour later on

Just having the combo helm would be good enough for me

[hard cave]

yeah, no def agree

just for me, its too hard on the eyes and need color contrast

Like for the ogryn helm and mask combo, the rebreather has contrast

[tall torrent]

Yes that one looks good

The veteran one is modded, there’s no combo in game yet

That ogryn one is in the files just unreleased

[hard cave]

hopefully when do add the combo, it'll be more similar to the scab version we have

Not the mask but how the helmet is a bit bigger and the mask is fitted more (ie the goggles being sunken in)

[serene ivy]

whats a fun way to level this class
i dont enjoy it much sadly

[hard cave]

knife shotgun, plasma gun, kantreal las gun, helbore las gun

[serene ivy]

will take a look

[terse idol]

It's abit easier to roll a powersword than it is to roll a good rashad

[terse idol]

It's so weird that they gave us the mask with no helmet

[uncut pebble]

Fatshark needs to step up their game.

[somber axle]

Give the mask + helm combo purchasable from the commissary but make it cost 10 million dockets

Make +Dockets on curios best in slot for an entire era of Darktide

[scarlet path]

FATSHAAARRRRKKKK GIVE ME THE FULL SCION SET

AND MY LIFE, IS YOURS

[hard cave]

[brittle hollow]

krak or shredder grenade
iam using a left side focused sniper build

[delicate hornet]

depending on whether u have a way to deal with crushers already id usually say shredder

[tawny badger]

I would think shredder for that crowd control since you already got a sniper for single target

[brittle hollow]

damage aura or ammo
i tend to consume a lot of ammo as i am getting the hang of my sniper

[tawny badger]

it's a good thing my gun has a flashlight on it

[tawny badger]

I would say ammo

[brittle hollow]

is this build any good?

still leveling

i dont know where to take next

at lvl 23

also which curios should be aiming for
1 of each?

[terse idol]

You should honestly take max HP for 2 curios, and 1+ wound depending on if you're more or less comfortable

[terse idol]

Also I mean it just depends where you want to build

[brittle hollow]

snipey long range

[terse idol]

Taking Marksmens focus isn't the worst, VOC in the middle is honestly better but you should focus on like fun™️

Yeah take Marksmens focus

[terse idol]

Yes you should take max HP

For curio

[brittle hollow]

why +1 wound tho?
i heard it was situational at best

[umbral scaffold]

Confirmed Kill at the top is going to help you a lot more than the toughness from the keystone

[terse idol]

+1 wound is if you're not comfortable with playing on Damnation.

Which you eventually will be

Like I said if you're comfortable with the game enough you can drop the wound

[tawny badger]

no iron will 0/10

[terse idol]

But you're looking for like,
+max HP,
For the side stuff probably
2x gunner res, 1x Sniper res

[tawny badger]

sniper res?

[terse idol]

Sniper resistance

[tawny badger]

no but like

why

just dodge it

[terse idol]

There are instances where you will just get hit by a stealthy sniper and the resistance + HP will help you not drop like a sack of potato

It's why you only need 1

For 20%

[tawny badger]

eeehhh

[mental tree]

ive always found if a sniper is around and i need to get it gone i just pop voc so he cant do health dmg and kill it

[tawny badger]

I find sniper damage to be the most avoidable out of all the specials
you see the laser
you hear the sound
you press the funny dodge button

[mental tree]

especially on damns where u get voc pretty much every 8-15 seconds

[austere mica]

I hate voc

[terse idol]

Sometimes you don't

[austere mica]

After being nuked once its still too strong

[mental tree]

its def boring but the consistency is just unrivaled

[terse idol]

It is just one slot

[radiant sable]

feast yer eyes

[terse idol]

Out of like what 12

You can choose to not take it but there are instances where you won't see a snipers shot and that 20% will make a difference

That's the way I see it

Also, cause you can eat shots that are intended to hit someone else iirc

Ogryn standing in front of you

Sniper shoots, it hits you

Ogryn dodges

There are better arguments than I can make for running sniper res

[austere mica]

There are specific breakpoints where sniper res can help (not breaking toughness at full)

[terse idol]

It accounts just for the break point the snipers can do to you

[austere mica]

But this is limited in usefulness because when the hell are you taking a sniper hit at full toughness

[terse idol]

It haaapppens

[last parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/power-the-matrix-bullet-stopped-the-bullets-bullet-drop-gif-17795245

[austere mica]

it does but like

I deserve the damage at that point

[terse idol]

It is the difference between taking like HP damage and not taking hp damage in rare instances

OR

[austere mica]

because I was a fucking dumbass

[tawny badger]

it happens but that's the result of being a Bad Gamer™️

[terse idol]

It's the difference between you going down

Or staying up

[terse idol]

And the advice was for someone who was level 23 leveling up

[radiant sable]

hey what blessings are good on the accatrans? I have a great Mk II I love using but wanna know what actually is good on it

[terse idol]

Like okay Mr. Auric storm survivor

Don't get shot by any snipers

[tawny badger]

I'm no auric storm player

[tame lodge]

Dumdum Headhunter

Don't forget to pick the Shock Trooper talent

[terse idol]

Also I did have an instance where a sniper was at the top of the stairs during the assassination mission and the laser was literally covered by bodies

AND it was loud

So I got shot

Didn't go down though

[radiant sable]

we're getting there 😪

[tawny badger]

eventually

[radiant sable]

it's slow

getting marksman's focus is tedious

but i've just bumped up an MG XII

[austere mica]

Try a Lawbringer

Actual advice

[radiant sable]

accatran has been fun but it's not getting the crits well enough

thats the slug one right?

[last parcel]

no it's the wide shot one

[radiant sable]

mmmmm

good shout

[hard cave]

I did it with a plasma gub

[austere mica]

It just clotheslines hordes of trash

[radiant sable]

im broke rn on coins but

yeah great idea

[last parcel]

that's a war crime but yes

[austere mica]

Its also fun outside of penance grind because it allows running singletarget melee

[hard cave]

;3

[tawny badger]

might just fuck around and try out right tree double barrel shotgun

[radiant sable]

see I don't typically enjoy vet

but I did a spin the wheel and got vet before Ogryn

[tawny badger]

scout tf2

[radiant sable]

they are kinda fun though, i'm coming round to them

maybe I stop the grind im on rn and do stealth vet

[last parcel]

i'm a force a nature

[radiant sable]

[tawny badger]

https://tenor.com/view/scout-tf2-scout-tf2-balls-gif-16390308937108692826

[tawny badger]

they should add a carapace armor monstrosity

I think that'd be funny

[radiant sable]

they should add things in the files we've been waiting on for ages now

the two handed force sword

the bile ogryn

[hard cave]

Bile ogryn???

[radiant sable]

yeah

there's a second plague ogryn model in the files

lemme find it

called a Plague Ogryn Sprayer

[old prism]

what a beautiful explanation, 10/10

[radiant sable]

or Tox Ogryn

[tawny badger]

oh that looks

that certainly looks

fucking vile

I love it

[radiant sable]

this is also on the way at some point

[tawny badger]

PERDITUM SANCTUS

[old prism]

If I remember correctly this one was supposed to be a stormfiend variant on darktide. Never added to the game though

[radiant sable]

it's

two handed

oh this was drowned out at the time but I'm kinda pogging at this

[austere mica]

the damage roll

[terse idol]

You can also play crab vet

Crouch, aquire mf stacks, melee

Profit

[lyric dock]

About 1 or 2 more games with the Crab walk curse

[radiant sable]

yeah

[radiant sable]

is this pensive react a "damn why can't I have this?" vibe or a "this is not a good roll" vibe?

[austere mica]

You have a 67% damage roll

Guess

[terse idol]

Thedamage roll stibky

Also no pc4

[radiant sable]

that doesn't work when I'm not good at inferring what actually hampens a roll and what doesn't

[terse idol]

Ah

So basically in most instances damage is one of the most important rolls

[radiant sable]

when I saw this and showed my friend and he went "no this is fucking terrible" I was confused

[terse idol]

Since it gets modified by the other modifiers

Like finesse

[last parcel]

wait till you slap power cycler 4 on it

[terse idol]

WHAT

The penetration is kinda ass

And like

You have 2 bad rolls

[elder fiber]

And the perk

And the blessing

[terse idol]

Rashad is very peculiar as to what it needs

[terse idol]

Uh

Like

[elder fiber]

lmao yeah thats not how that stat works

[terse idol]

Rashad is hard to build because you need as close as max damage values as possible

And + unarmoured, and Carapace

And BM

And Headtaker

[radiant sable]

I have some great luck on other classes but this is probably the luckiest thing i've gotten

[terse idol]

And then it becomes a horde killing machine with max cleave values and it has very good crusher BP

[terse idol]

If you change out Specalists for elite

Then it's good

Or well even better

Since then you can get the one shot headshot dredge gunner BP

[terse idol]

*cough
As an adendum, they are right
Rashad wants every damage value the highest it can be and penetration is important

[tawny badger]

how we feeling about this one yall

[austere mica]

If you want right tree swap full bore for Manstopper

[tender citrus]

I'm still waiting for Fatshark to put the original Steel Legion uniform back to the store, I bought the canon helmet just to get it right, sadly the canon helmet cam after they removed the Steel Legion uniform from the store.

Sadly I can't post pictures, yet.

The kit was called "Sergeant Per "Dead End" Klast" and the helmet is the "Steel Legion flak helmet (parade polish).

Well besides brutal momentum*

[midnight mortar]

Headtaker.

With those two blessings and the right build, you will 1 shot dreg bruisers in the head after striking any enemy once.

Absolutely critical for smoothly cutting through mixed hordes.

Yea I meant brutal momentum

Do I keep carapace/maniac or swap one of the two?

Thank god I don't have to keep leveling a new character

[crude fiber]

the double barrell has seperate blessings if you wanted it on that

[hallow parcel]

are you kidding me

WHY

[last parcel]

because double barrel is an assault shotgun and they wanted unique blessings for that group such as both barrels

now why they don't have some overlap is whole nother can of worms

Yes, Slab, your weapons are the shootiest.

[uncut pebble]

First shot, but that also works with crit strings and whatnot.

[austere pine]

brawler

it's almost always brawler with bodyguard 2nd

[uncut pebble]

I actually can't pair the voices with the personalities.

I genuinely don't know their names.

[austere pine]

what do you hear the ogryns saying frog

[uncut pebble]

I know the mean one is the one I find the least.

[austere pine]

accent? grunts? sah?

yeah that's bully. i also see it the least

[regal yarrow]

Bodyguard: russian ogryn
Brawler: ate me xenos, ate me heratic, simple as
Bully: "SHUT UP SHOUTY"

[uncut pebble]

"So, Emperor is god? Yes?" Is about the only line I can think of.

[austere pine]

bodyguard then

[uncut pebble]

Ok. I hear bodyguard the most then.

[regal yarrow]

seems I'm a rare ogryn

[uncut pebble]

I also use the bodyguard personality.

[austere pine]

i also use bully

[uncut pebble]

Throgg Rock-Chucka won't let punies get squished.

[austere pine]

i got bored of bodyguard

[uncut pebble]

It's against his "prince apples."

[austere pine]

meh the only thing an ogryn needs to do is crush the other punies

[regal yarrow]

exactly

[austere pine]

and bully crushes best

[orchid hemlock]

for the recon, I was thinking that this isn't optimal, what could I replace the focus target with in another slot? 🤔

[uncut pebble]

Run mf with recons.

Trust.

You do silly amounts of damage with it.

[orchid hemlock]

mf?

[tall torrent]

It has super low finesse

[uncut pebble]

Doesn't matter.

It absolutely shreds because you can effectively maintain maximum stacks for almost an entire mission.

[last parcel]

it does matter because that's what mf is based on

[tall torrent]

It does tho

[last parcel]

marksman's focus keystone

[tall torrent]

MF doesn’t scale damage, it scales finesse

[orchid hemlock]

yeah but unfortunatly it is difficult to get since:

[tall torrent]

Low base finesse = low scaling

[uncut pebble]

Idk, I only find myself struggling against carapace with using it.

[tall torrent]

Yea u can drop this

[uncut pebble]

And that, I use a Rashad to deal with.

[orchid hemlock]

isn't onslaught giga broken with las?

[tall torrent]

U should try to check how much damage you’re actually gaining on recon from using MF in meat grinder

[tall torrent]

Onslaught was never “giga broken”

[orchid hemlock]

recon doesn't shred instantly tho?

[tall torrent]

Yea, u invest all those points to make recon go from horrible to mediocre at killing 1 specific enemy that spawns at most 30 times in a mission

[last parcel]

yes

[heavy rover]

worth it

[orchid hemlock]

yes because it is funny seeing crushers get melted

[austere pine]

help

[last parcel]

are you petrafied

[heavy rover]

first they were afraid, then they were petrified

[tall torrent]

Then u trade melee options for onslaught, pretty simple

[weary acorn]

should I trash this or turn it into something?

[orchid hemlock]

is it worth to take determined on lasgun as well?

[heavy rover]

keep it for the rework, but in the meantime you can put headhunter with dumdum / infernus

[weary acorn]

what does headhunter do again?

[heavy rover]

increase crit chance with every shot

so you can save a lot of ammo using the Shocktrooper talent

[tall torrent]

Every weakspot hit

[weary acorn]

I have this as my other recon

[orchid hemlock]

is dumdum or infernus better on it tho 🤔

[tall torrent]

Both work

[heavy rover]

both are good, down to preference at this rate

[weary acorn]

i was under the impression infernus NEEDED dumdum

[tall torrent]

If ur insane enough u could even run 5% crit chance perk + talent and skip headhunter

[orchid hemlock]

this is what I use

[tall torrent]

Because infernus & dum dum has a unique interaction

[weary acorn]

whats the difference between the three recons?

[tall torrent]

6d has highest firerate but is overall worst
2 has best ammo economy
7a can cleave specialists

[weary acorn]

why is 6d overall the worst?

[tall torrent]

Lowest ammo efficiency, slower reload & swap time

Also just not as high dps as the other two unless u run onslaught which isn’t very worth running most of the time

[heavy rover]

you'll burn through ammo very quickly, but with Onslaught, it has a pretty fast time-to-kill

[weary acorn]

does the 2 make decent enough use of onslaught?

[heavy rover]

I use onslaught on 2. It's workable

[tall torrent]

Why do u need onslaught

Because if you’re not magdumping crushers you only rly need rending strikes

And recon is inherently a point hungry gun

U have to spec left side for ammo + shock trooper basically

Adding onslaught on top of that is a huge point tax

[heavy rover]

I'm more likely to be mag dumping crushers tho, since I tend to spray right into crowds regardless

[weary acorn]

thats kinda how i am as well

the 6d has been a workhorse for me

but now that i seem to have found a good 2, i wana give it a shot as well

[heavy rover]

yeah, i tend to jump between the mk 6d and the mk 2. I tend to go with the mk 2 due to ammo efficiency

[torn gorge]

so hows the new mission?

or assignment i guess

[weary acorn]

mind showing me your build?

[last parcel]

it's lights out with rinda karnak

so how do you feel about lights out

[somber axle]

man

I'm really disappointed

I was hoping for some new crazy monster

[tall torrent]

What melee are u running with this

[torn gorge]

oh its a separate one?

[somber axle]

a few new dialogue lines and beating up Rinda has been boring

[last parcel]

yeah, but it doesn't show up on aurics

[torn gorge]

so i queued into random supply interruption

[weary acorn]

power sword, the good one

[tall torrent]

Ok u can go onslaught

[weary acorn]

my own makes use of deadshot as well

[tall torrent]

U don’t need deadshot

Prob smth like this if u just want to spray recon at everything

It’s not a particularly strong build but it can be fun

[heavy rover]

Sure, Curious are 17% toughness x2 and 1 wound to maximize Iron Will

I've got a better Mk II that I'm waiting for the itemization rework. Also gonna swap the Shock Maul's Unyielding to Maniac

[weary acorn]

huh both of those are close to my own i just use infiltrator

well infiltrator and krak grenade

[heavy rover]

feel free to give it a shot. My playstyle is mostly melee, then magdump when dealing with hoards, ranged, or any elites/specialists

[weary acorn]

i'm looking to maximise my ranged damage uptime

[last parcel]

i didn't even expec that and i was still disappointed

[heavy rover]

if you can, I suggest using both Onslaught and rending strikes then

[last parcel]

they undershot my rock bottom standard of "i just want to be able to play this in auric"

[weary acorn]

what about blessings? I'm still thinking dumdum and infernus

[somber axle]

it's neat for story I guess but like I guess I had my hopes up too high after the last few patches LOL

also yeah that's weird

no auric version

[heavy rover]

yeah, I think those are good

[tall torrent]

He’s prob next special assignment

[heavy rover]

just be sure to watch your ammo count, and you'll be melting pretty much everything

[weary acorn]

how does suppresion immunity work?

[somber axle]

probably but idk it feels vaguely like recycling to just reuse Rinda like this

[heavy rover]

basically when gunners shoot at you your aim and accuracy gets worse. You can get out of suppression by dodging to cover

[somber axle]

I do really like the story but I'd like something more to show the progression of Atoma

and this isn't really that

[tall torrent]

Kinda, I think rinda works as an ambush boss tho

Different armor type, alright moveset

[weary acorn]

is it really worth getting immunity to it?

[tall torrent]

I just don’t enjoy lights out

[heavy rover]

personaly I don't feel the immunity is worth it

[tall torrent]

U can’t be suppressed off target

It’s especially important for recon

Because recon has shot spread when u ADS if you’re suppressed

[orchid hemlock]

ok based on yall's input I decided with this soo far: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9c9abbca-ad8e-424c-8780-11409eba0097

[tall torrent]

Like I said you’re looking at one of the highest point cost weapons in the game

[weary acorn]

lol upgraded the recon 2 and got headhunter 4 lol

holy hell if you land your headshots do you even need infernus on this thing?

[radiant chasm]

yea isn't vid the one that can go infernus?

[tall torrent]

All 3 can go infernus

[radiant chasm]

mk2 liking dum dum headhunter like the mk 7

[tall torrent]

If ur crazy enough u skip headhunter and run dum dum + infernus

[radiant chasm]

thanks captain

[orchid hemlock]

infernus is good against unyielding

[weary acorn]

which is gonna get me better overall output?

[tall torrent]

Headhunter saves u more ammo

Infernus + dum dum + 5% crit chance perk + 5% crit chance talent has a little higher dps (solely because recon finesse sucks so crit headshot is still fairly weak)

If ur goal is to spray at everything (u shouldn’t), headhunter + dum dum for all three

[weary acorn]

is headhunter infernus any good ?

[heavy rover]

i've been enjoying headhunter infernus. I also used to jump between that and headhunter dumdum

down to preference between the two pairings

[tall torrent]

Works, is fun, not as high dps as dum dum + headhunter

[weary acorn]

how far behind is it i guess then, by a lot or a little?

[last parcel]

setting things on fire makes happy chemical

[tall torrent]

A little

[weary acorn]

i'll give a shot then see how i like it

i dont mind loosing a little dps, for fire

[tall torrent]

But tbh

If u want infernus at all

U should go dum dum + infernus

Because dum dum actually buffs infernus damage

[weary acorn]

yeah thats how i have it on my vid

does infernus have a rank 4 ?

[tall torrent]

Yea

U want rank 4

[weary acorn]

damn i only have rank 3

[tall torrent]

Rank 3 is nowhere as good as rank 4

Due to DOT non-linear scaling

[weary acorn]

guess its time to farm out some rank 4

does the weapon have to be higher ranked?

[last parcel]

ooooh melky boy

[midnight totem]

you know what

my veteran deserves a little cosmetic update to his look

[tall torrent]

Buy a bunch, level all of them to gold for the best chance of tier 4 blessings if your goal is to farm & collect

[midnight totem]

no more standard warband combat bottoms

only silky, comfortable groxhide leather pants from now on

is stability important bros

[rigid pilot]

Yesn't

[green harbor]

Nah just pray to the Emperor

[midnight totem]

for a headhunter?

pretty important

[last parcel]

i dumped stability and am totally fine

[midnight totem]

low stability headhunters tend to bounce all over the damn place

[tall torrent]

Yes

[midnight totem]

kinda defeats the point of being accurate

[tall torrent]

Low stability headhunter has the funniest recoil in the game

U can cope with a low stability Boltgun

[lucid hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/blam-shotty-blick-gif-19757867

[green harbor]

My boltgun turns into a Skyfire after 3 shots

[tall torrent]

Low stability headhunter mk3 has u look at the sky after 1 burst

[umbral scaffold]

Ill keep it just to feel it out in a training room

[green harbor]

I mean usually whatever I aimed at is a fine mist anyway

[last parcel]

yeah fuck that wall up

[green harbor]

Tried the recon lasgun today

I feel exposed without it now

[serene sage]

I haven't played since before the new update

[green harbor]

Falling into the recon/powersword build vetbros

[serene sage]

is the bolt pistol any good?

[rigid pilot]

Recons don't even have recoil.. I think

Just sway

[bleak mortar]

Emperor will guide your bullets its fine

[umbral scaffold]

I was in love with Columnus MKV then I swapped to a well rolled lasgun for a few days and yeah.. still can enjoy the columnus but it aint the same..

[green harbor]

Love me Emprah, love me lasgun, 'ate heretics (not imperial cultist just don't like em), simple as

[midnight totem]

already preparing for the rotfly bosses

good man

[green harbor]

Excuse me what.

[green harbor]

I signed up for the Mags not this 😭

Just wanted to get cartel payoffs and beat underhivers

[lucid hinge]

how much horse power do you think a rotfly has

[green harbor]

Imagine drunk driving that

[midnight totem]

zero after I'm done with them

[green harbor]

See if that thing so much as buzzes at me wrong I'm breaking out a comically large swatter

[tall torrent]

there is recoil, just very low

[tall torrent]

mid on its own but makes grenadier veteran extremely strong

[serene sage]

could you elaborate?

[tall torrent]

run&gun + lethal proximity
maniac + elite

[serene sage]

why nade specially though

[tall torrent]

boltpistol has a blessing that buffs all explosive radius by 25%

[serene sage]

ohh

[tall torrent]

this applies to frag grenades

[serene sage]

that's nuts

[tall torrent]

add grenade tinkerer and u have +50% explosion radius

[green harbor]

Wouldn't that be better on kraks though?

[serene sage]

yeah i got that part

[serene sage]

frag radius is wild and 2 can kill almost all elites

that is not bulky

[tall torrent]

no because it's overall radius, not blast center's radius

[green harbor]

I imagine it'd clear swarms crushers and such quite easily

[green harbor]

Oh

[tall torrent]

nah

[serene sage]

frag can clear crushers though

unironically

[tall torrent]

it's exclusively for frags

[serene sage]

well time to put my plasteel to use 😔

You know I'm a little disappointed the new event is just Rinda

Must be a masochist with how much the rejects are beating the shit out of her

[orchid hemlock]

so is dumdum or infernus better on the MK2 recon? 🤔

[tall torrent]

Dum dum
If ur gonna run infernus honestly just skip headhunter and cope with crit chance perk + talent

[umbral scaffold]

Actually

Does krak bleed on hit with the bolt pistol blessing?

[tall torrent]

No, and wouldn’t matter much

Puncture is direct hit

IS the Condition Terror in the Dark T4+ only or does it show in lower tiers?

Like bruh i didn't go from console to pc to play in anything under 120 frames what is this dogshit?

[last parcel]

the best part about kf2 is launching the game then caramelizing some onions so you'll have a snack when it finally opens up

[radiant chasm]

as long as it's consistent 60 fps i don't care

[torn gorge]

i expected a grand reveal from this mission

instead it was just linda saying hello and then going away

boring

[green harbor]

In fairness having a squad of Mags beating karnak with shock mauls is pretty funny

[idle swallow]

Turns out without the synchronized shields and fart gas bombs from the twins fight, she just kinda falls over if the squad focuses damage at all

[mighty anvil]

This things damage is ungodly, i just 1 shot everything on light attacks

[hallow parcel]

You can actually get away with rapid chaxe lights with enough damage as the rev has some small cleave to it

I actually spam lights into hordes and shove attack a lot to make space

[hallow parcel]

Yeah it's dope. I have a high stat roll slaughterer headtaker one and it basically two shots maulers with light attacks when it gets going

[mighty anvil]

This can't be legal i feel like i'm hacking, is this how zealots feel

It's really slept on. People don't like the homing on the lights

Normally I stick to my catachan but I've been trying out the power sword

I'm using slaughterer and sunder

Don't have power cycler but I wanted to try without it anyway

[random pecan]

What class should i play now that i maxed leveled veteran?

[severe gale]

psword should be made to be useful without charged attacks

[random pecan]

i tried out ogryn and idk doesnt feel that cool

[severe gale]

rework it a bit n rebalance it methinks

[severe gale]

zealot

[random pecan]

zealot abil feels annoying

[severe gale]

ogryn is incredibly boring to play imo

[hollow cloak]

worth trying for t4 bm on powersword?

[severe gale]

how so?

[random pecan]

its just a charge and so lame

[severe gale]

t3 is fine, t4 i dont think reaches any breakpoints

[severe gale]

well then ur only option is psyker

[shadow urchin]

Hey, working on a meme build. Do you know which recon rifle has the most ammo in reserve?

[hollow cloak]

thanks, what about 20% flak is that enough?

[severe gale]

yeah it should be fine

[severe gale]

the fastest firing recon, i think it’s the 6d

[thorn lark]

6d iirc

[shadow urchin]

Danke

[hollow cloak]

if i can hit a bp i'll do it

[severe gale]

eh, 5% shouldn’t be that big a deal

[thorn lark]

mk2 most efficient but that may be a vet thing with shock trooper

[hollow cloak]

feels like it's not enough sometimes

[last parcel]

it's like 50 damage

consider your talent tree

[severe gale]

only thing you’d really need flak for is ragers and shotgunners, and you’ll just be light spamming them probably

well r you using a 3 or 6 psword

if ur using sunder it should be a 3

[hollow cloak]

otherwise perfect roll on no. 6 powersword but missing 5% flak and only t3 bm lol

[severe gale]

is anything locked on it?

or changed*

[thorn lark]

t3 bm is very fine

[hollow cloak]

yes both of those

actually

[severe gale]

both were changed?

[hollow cloak]

yeah

[severe gale]

why did u change it to a 20%

were u that broke

[hollow cloak]

uhh can't remember but it's locked

[severe gale]

wait the flak is locked

the flak and bm3 is locked?

[hollow cloak]

yeah actually

yes

[severe gale]

ohhhh

yeah you’ll be fine then

[hollow cloak]

unfortunately

[last parcel]

it's like a 2% difference in raw damage and 0.01% difference in your gameplay

[severe gale]

i’d recommend getting PC instead of sunder, sunder is better on the mk3

[hollow cloak]

anything to get one more bp if possible, 80% dmg, whatever it takes

[tall torrent]

Doesn’t make a difference

[last parcel]

then look at your talent tree

[hollow cloak]

it's all geared towards melee

don't get me wrong it's really good but i just want that extra ounce of power

[last parcel]

bm3 --> bm4 is barely an extra milligram of power

and besides, what bp are you going for

[hollow cloak]

great question, guess just the one i have, flak, whatever kills trash mobs faster. or if that won't change either way maybe try for carapace or unyielding

[severe gale]

trash mobs die fast enough with bm, you’ll kill shotgunners in 2 hits i think

carapace bps for u suck because u don’t have power cycler

for the push attack combo

[shadow urchin]

And now I learn not all flashlights are created equal. Why is the recon light so narrow?

[tall torrent]

Shotgunner is 1 hit

Power sword 6 wants elite + maniac tbh

[severe gale]

oh they are?

[tall torrent]

Mainly elite

[severe gale]

when i used it shotgunners were 2 hit

or i’m thinking of scab ragers

idk actually

i might be stupid gang

[tall torrent]

No, we’d prob get Cadian wargear again lol

[hollow cloak]

i have t4 power cycler

[severe gale]

swap sunder for it

if u wanna try sunder try it on the mk3

[tall torrent]

Sunder is also ok on mk6

[last parcel]

where did sunder come from

[hollow cloak]

idk but here's the sword, 1 hitting gunners sounds like just what i need

[rigid pilot]

Hadron's pits

[tall torrent]

1 hit Gunner u need sunder

[hollow cloak]

taking a hit off carapace would be nice too

[tall torrent]

Sunder is +20% damage to heavy atks on top of x4 cleave (through carapace)

It’s pretty hard to reach gunner 1 shot without sunder

[hollow cloak]

so power cycler and sunder is ideal?

[rigid pilot]

Headpoke surely?

[tall torrent]

Not necessarily

It’s power cycler + BM/sunder

nothing really changed since secrets of the machine god

[rigid pilot]

Wait for news bulletin 🥴

[flat crypt]

To my surprise game actually started running much better. Had quite bad stutters and low fps after the sotm update

[oblique totem]

Lame

[flat crypt]

spawn bug still seems to be an issue, had a couple of events where after some point enemies just stopped spawning

[earnest bone]

could be related to rinda event interrupting spawns (bug)

in auric/ms its still the same, everything works (since there's no event)

[flat crypt]

by the way just some hopes and dreams with morning coffee: now that the event apparently is just Rinda running away after getting her ass kicked like good old times my guess is that admonition is doing some ritual to Rodin and he'll be the true terror in the dark after the event. Maybe a new special assignment 🤷‍♂️

[rigid pilot]

Special assignment is just twins again on a different map (hopefully)

[shadow urchin]

I've got a meme build made specifically for "Terror in the Dark".

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9cc724f5-39e0-40a1-b878-70357434fceb/a-thousand-lights-in-the-dark?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button

Tis a shame Vets don't get any chem lights to throw

[flat crypt]

I see no meme, i see peak performance

❤️

well, almost x)

[soft trellis]

Huh... Does the powered weakspot attacks on the mk 6 power sword always do more damage to weakspot, when the weakspot is carapace and the body is flak? Or is that more because of the type of attack that the push attack is? Because the push attack does double the damage to the mauler's head that it does to the mauler's body... and I don't have Desperado

638 to a mauler body shot, 1644 to a mauler head shot with the mk 6 power sword's push attack for both

the powered heavy 1 only does 820 damage to the mauler's head, though... while doing 665 to the body :/

I'm just testing out the moveset of the mk 6 power sword against damnation enemies. This is what it currently is.

[midnight mortar]

If I recall correctly, the mauler's head counts as a weakspot that has carapace armor characteristics so it wouldn't be unusual for attacks made towards it to deal more damage than attacks on the mauler's body.

The innate characteristics of the push attack also contribute to that high damage number.

This is also why the mk6 is a popular choice for two tapping Crushers.

[soft trellis]

It's just usually a lot of weapons do less damage to carapace than they do to flak... which is why, like for the mk 6 heavy sword, you target the body since you will do more damage to it than the head. :/

[shadow urchin]

Yeah, a 1000% increase doesn't do much when you've got a base damage of like, 10

[warm harbor]

So.
You guys get guns with bayonets or are you normal?

Cause I LOVE the Lucius MK2

[terse idol]

Iirc because it's strike down combo?

More single target focus hence why the mk6 is favored

Compared to the mk3's horizontals

[midnight mesa]

Yeah I usually just shoot the body for the maulers

[shadow urchin]

You know what would be cool? If the Terror in the Dark event could occur on any mission. So you're going along, when all the lights go out and ye get jumped.

Shame so much of a map's lighting isn't dynamic, but for certain pre-set areas it could work.

[midnight mesa]

I mean I think the only enemy that's covered in carapace is

The crusher

The rest use flak or nothing

[midnight mesa]

Like you just join a random mission

[terse idol]

Wellll

[midnight mesa]

It goes dark all of a sudden

[terse idol]

Scab flamers are maniac armour for whatever reason

[midnight mesa]

And then suddenly one of the Karnak Twins just assaults you

[flat crypt]

Oh yes. It would be much cooler if the blackouts were random and not just the whole mission

[terse idol]

Unfortunately I don't think the engine can handle that

But I have nooooo idea

[midnight mesa]

Actually it would be cool to have just one of the Karnak Twins constantly assault you

Also if the Karnak Twins can come back alive

Then they could add a Chaos SM as a boss

...

Please

[terse idol]

Eh

[midnight mesa]

I mean we already fight Chaos Spawns, Beasts of Nurgle's, and the occasional daemonhost

And we don't immediately get turned into dust like the lore says we should become

So yk

[midnight mesa]

You can build it up as well.

Have it so that a space marine team was sent and we're just sent to clean up the job

Only to realize that all the Marines sent died, and we're forced to deal with the CSM

We finally arrive to see him.

Injured even for a Nurgle CSM, bleeding, but still alive

But even an injured animal is still dangerous

[terse idol]

Why even have a team of sm go in just send us in to take care of a random-no name csm

Like I can see us killing a random csm

[midnight mesa]

Fair

[terse idol]

Not an actually named factioon

[midnight mesa]

Just one sent from the black legion or something

Or just a member of a fledgling warband that got lost

[terse idol]

Wel maybe not black legion

But yeah

A new csm would be okie

[midnight mesa]

I mean since we're fighting Nurgle infected enemies. A plague marine would be cool

[terse idol]

My issue with any pre-heresey csm is they're literally like one of the first, pre hersey csm are insane on power level

It's why I don't accept death guard

*grumble grumble

Plague marine csm is okje

[midnight mesa]

Also a Laslock would be funny to have for the memes

Since it's basically a laser musket

But tbh the hellbore kinda fits that role

And a sniper would be kinda useless in darktide

[rigid pilot]

Give it cleave!
Oops it's just plasma now

[dense tartan]

Snipers are useless in the 40k RPG games too.

If you want to snipe you're best bet is slug ammunition, assault shotgun, fire selector on a Raptor Spacemarine build. (Ignore penalty for long and extreme long range) You can fire off upto 5 shots per action upto an effective range of 120 meters. (Maps don't get much bigger, unless you're using narrative gameplay or abstract distances.)

[midnight mesa]

I was thinking of making it a meme gun

Since out of all the weapons you chose the glorified musket

Essentially, how about it basically having knock back

Basically uh

You can now jump ledges much easier

[warm harbor]

The Darktide agents are built different
I know few guardsman that can go toe to toe with a Beat of Nurgle and a Chaos spawn and come out all in one piece

[midnight mesa]

Yeah CSMs are not off the table tbh

They could be quite fun

[warm harbor]

Oh yeah let’s just fight a Plague Marine it surely will go well

[pseudo fiber]

You could fight one with the weapons we have.
Idk what a zealot would use though.

Vet can use plasma
Psykers are psykers and Ogryns are Ogryns.

[warm harbor]

I mean
Space marines are kinda of an op shit
They are fast af, pack a punch

And are far more trained than all the scum and heretics we are fighting rn

And if we struggle with the twins (Haven’t beaten them in Damnation yet)
What can we do with a space marine that would solo them?

[shadow urchin]

Faith in the Emperor, of course.

[pseudo fiber]

True. And a thunder hammer probably.

CSM ain't seen shit when the prepatch shroudfield backstab crit hammer zealot appears.

[shadow urchin]

I wouldn't mind blasting one with a big cannon as part of a finale. But I am also plenty content leaving marines out of Darktide.

They get tons of screentime in other games.

[warm harbor]

Precisely

I’d love new enemies tho

But as in new factions

Genestealers have been debated since launch

[soft trellis]

Well... I now have a mk 6 power sword... I just had to choose between t3 sunder and t4 bromentum, so I chose t4 bromentum. How does it look, otherwise? :3

[sour elbow]

I could see it having use as a suppression and piercing weapon that's more... agile than the plasma gun and less splash or just a plasma gun with a scope.
Most fps games don't need one though. Hell I shoot things with the mk1a lasrifle easily enough beyond the range of executioner stance

[sour elbow]

I suspect they wont appear because of the budget (in terms of hours animating models and stuff).

In fluffy sense if that turns up as well I'm not sure if exterminatus button gets mashed or not. I'm pretty sure the gloves come off then

[shadow urchin]

I wouldn't mind getting to fight the Water Cartel, since they appeared in that one trailer when they introduced Swagger

[soft trellis]

Huh, well with 2 charged push attacks I can kill a crusher at least. :/

[pseudo fiber]

That's good then

[pseudo fiber]

This is really good
Grind out that power cycler 4 you'll be gaming

[soft trellis]

I can do it with or without the +10% melee damage talent

[pseudo fiber]

Yeah the mk6 powersword is stupid hahaha

[soft trellis]

t4 bromentum is probably helping me barely reach the 2 shot breakpoint, without the 10% melee damage talent tbh...

This is me doing the 2 shot without any added buffs

Honestly, though, I kinda miss the mk 3... mostly because it swings a bit faster. :/

[sour elbow]

Afaik they're either converted to dregs/poxwalkers or been killed when the dregs and s abs moved in

[shadow urchin]

That's what I thought too, and then they appeared in that last trailer, so some are still kicking around

[pseudo fiber]

Do push attack then a light attack

[sour elbow]

I've been doi g the catching swords and the parry is pretty brutal

[soft trellis]

I know I am hampering my build a slight amount, due to me not being willing to give up the full -0.5s stamina regen delay for my Vet... but I feel WAY more comfortable with it, and I can still build around having less talent points as well

[sour elbow]

The riposte murders and staggers like nobodies business

[shadow urchin]

I also wouldn't mind fighting this "Mysterious Cultist" we've been hearing.

[soft trellis]

I need the 10% melee damage talent node for the 2 shot with that combo

[shadow urchin]

Sounds plague priesty

[soft trellis]

or carapace damage :/

[pseudo fiber]

I mean can you one hit gunners without flak?

[soft trellis]

Good question, I have absolutely no plasteel to check that out lol

Gotta do another run, first. I just got this one to orange and got t3 power cycler and t3 flak put on it x.x

[pseudo fiber]

Well have fun

[soft trellis]

My lower talent section is a mess lol. I am not giving up the 2 -0.25s stamina regen delay nodes, I don't care if you tie me down and beat me... I ain't giving em up. >_<'

Desperado is really helping the mk 6 power sword's push attack :/

Hm, if I take the ogryn damage node instead of the 10% rending I can 2 shot the crusher with the push attack into light attack with the 2 powered swings

With absolutely no problems, and I have quite a bit of room to spare as well I think

1st one had a crit on the stab, so I did another round and I didn't get a crit on the 1st swing that time

I can still 2 shot the crusher even without desperado

[warm harbor]

As a Veteran, what is your melee weapon of choice?
I go with ChainsSword

[thorn lark]

Everything is fine

[pseudo fiber]

I also use chainsword as my prefered

[warm harbor]

I have infiltration so I can charge it up fully and crash it down on heavy enemies

[thorn lark]

I use taxe, knife, claw mostly

[warm harbor]

I just see red whenever I take out my sword

Literally one time a guy stormed me with the damage boost and I took out the sword and charged foward to a line of gunners

It was epic

A fricking slaughter

Pox Walkers?
VROOM
Cultists?
VROOM
Hell I faced two deamonhosts with that

Well they were attacking another teammate but it grants great damage to them

[oblique totem]

Me I gotta go with chainsword

[warm harbor]

At this point Chainsword is a fans favorite

[oblique totem]

Chainsword and autogun all day

[warm harbor]

I’m the bane of Maulers with that.

[warm harbor]

I’m more of a Lucius guy

[oblique totem]

Lucius and chainsword?

[warm harbor]

I like having the ability to 🔪
Even when not with my melee

[oblique totem]

I guess I can see it

[warm harbor]

Yeah I know it’s unorthodox

But i use my Lucius while I’m away, and use it’s melee when it’s just 2 or 3 idiots coming towards me
I take out the sword for hordes and big armored fuckers

[oblique totem]

I can see it, I just don't care for the long charge up for shots

[warm harbor]

Meh, barely use it honestly
I’m thinking of switching to a normal Lasgun but i’m afraid it packs a smaller punch than the Lucius

While the Lucius with a charged enough shot just shreds anything

I just wished it had a better scope

[reef crown]

Bolt pistol. It has a cool synergy with weapon specialist + deadly accurate. With that you can onetap any specials and smaller elites like a revolver. What would you say is best for the second blessing? and what are the most important perks?

[pseudo fiber]

I personally use puncture on mine

I've heard lethal is good too

[uncut pebble]

Lethal is great for staggering lots of stuff.

Granted, that stagger only lasts for about a second, but it's still a stagger.

[reef crown]

What about perks?

[uncut pebble]

I run maniac and unyielding on mine, but I'm sure that's probably not the "proper" perks.

Basically, I use it for a weapon spec build, puncture with deadly accurate. Puncture so I can mag dump bosses and whatnot for big bleed, deadly accurate for a quickdraw crit.

I think without any extra buffs applied, a well rolled bp with deadly accurate and maniac will 1tap a dreg rager on crit headshot.

Lame answer: because video game

Cool answer: Grendyl is a psyker and toughness mechanic is part of his influence. I am a warrior was some form of psycho-suggestion or indoctrination necessary for his power to work. Part of its power is shielding us from the worst of the plagues and infections on tertium.

[serene bough]

i run puncture + run n gun

[hollow warren]

the Rashad axe with bromentum and headtaker. the thing slaps

[umbral scaffold]

mk iii shock maul, chainsword, mk4 combat blade, gonna farm some mats and try out the assault chain axe today

[lyric dock]

Powersword MK6. While very boring, but it is quite practical

[midnight totem]

Power sword mk6, chainsword 12g, knife mk6, standard shovel

[supple stag]

Power Sword Mk VI, Rashad, Chainaxe mk XII

[heavy rover]

Shovel and shock maul

[dawn garnet]

finally a good shottie

nvm gonna cry

[sharp stag]

I think the shovel is very viable

[dawn garnet]

what are the good blessings for weapon spec shotty

manstopper flechette?

[lyric dock]

You had to jynx it shark boy!

[dawn garnet]

I spent like 1 mil on shotties

got that in malice

[pseudo fiber]

Don't people do both barrels manstopper?
Or scattershot manstopper

[dawn garnet]

i already have one with scattershot manstopper

i'm prepping for the crafting update so no use in putting t2 blessings imo

since i assume manstopper will get a t4 and putting t2s will become easier

[rigid pilot]

Some Chad was telling me deathspitter fullbore on zealot

[weary acorn]

i swear, infernus 4 does not exist and you all are gasslighting me

its like the power cycler 4 it is a myth

[lyric dock]

Welcome to Hadron Casino

Where she knows your [DE]sire

[rigid pilot]

I'm sorry

But it does exist

[weary acorn]

yeah i know

just frustrating rng

it wouldn't be so bad if you could get resources faster, or the rolling was cheaper

[heavy rover]

I feel you. I literally have all Tier 3 and Tier 4 blessings except for Infernus IV, and it's been taunting me for months

[umbral scaffold]

kinda wanna harvest uncanny strike off the mk III and put it on the mk vi is that too much

also what perk should i throw on the mkVI

[midnight totem]

Do it

I suggest elite or carapace in place of weak spot

[azure zephyr]

I'm starting to actually enjoy the bolt pistol ngl.

It's fun.

I just wish Fatshark actually gave some free skins to it, or applied some existing skin bundles to it and the new weapons.

[tame lodge]

They saw the DMR play style of the Bolter and gave that to the Bistol

Then they gave the Bolter more ammo

Mag dump play style

[rigid pilot]

need a mk69 bolter

with 69 rounds and 690 reserve

[faint beacon]

I use it, it’s funny, but no it’s not optimal at all

[delicate hornet]

for the auric survivor penances, do they reset if u were to die in a non-auric mission?

[last parcel]

no

[delicate hornet]

nice

[radiant chasm]

very funny but honestly you can skip flechette

[dawn garnet]

ill just put scattershot for now

unironically the extra impact from manstopper is gonna be fucking stupid with it if they add tiers for it

like i have a lawbringer with it and when they added the impact it started actually working

[faint beacon]

That what they planned to give it on top of infinite cleave?

Cause that sounds actually stupid

[last parcel]

knock them over so the followup shot hits fewer heads

[somber axle]

Lawbringer special evaporating hordes and knocking ragers on their butts sounds hilarious

The Shotgun of Fuck This Side of the Map

Give it enough impact to break Bulwark shield too to make it extra funny
