I owe an apology to stealth vets
On a Mk3 as well 
Got to get those penances somehow
yes 
wait i meant agri
the one thats bad with scattershot
it started working a lot better
Honestly my personal answer is that it's just your characters retelling what happened. With each difficulty just them exaggerating it further
"So yeah we killed like... A Chaos Spawn yeah. A Chaos Spawn came in and started screeching and slamming everywhere."
"...a Chaos Spawn?"
"Yeah!"
"...sure buddy."
its an acquired taste for sure but honestly its super fun
once you get a non shit build together where you can reliably one tap things
you're cookin
So just talent agile engagement 
He doesn’t know about the Lethal Proximity build
warning: you are in range of loyalist artillery
Bold words for someone on Lethal Proximity distance
Imma be real here, that's even lamer than the "because its a video game" because it's the exact same result but also makes everything your character does meaningless.
You might as well say the entire game is just your character hallucinating in their cell
“Grandfather Nurgle blesses me”
I regret to inform you, you’re within 30ms of the blast radius your ass is taking 6 stacks of bleed
My interpretation of the story is that it played out exactly as beta metrics showed. The vast majority of penal legion squads sent into the meat grinder died before accomplishing their objective. Some of them survived. They just kept pushing the survivors through worse and worse problems as the Nurgle infestation worsened. Bigger beasties, larger crowds, the 6th becoming increasingly aware of the Rejects and their impact on the battlefield. Things got more difficult and the squads who survived became the elite who beat the odds
The average old man dragged out of a cage and shoved at a Chaos Spawn is probably very, very dead
But the hardened Vet who rallied their squad into felling the beastie is still alive and ready for the next round
PUT THE KARKIN BOOT IN
I usuully gotta 2 tap, but if I mark targets i get better mileage
deadly hounds
Throne knows what the number actually sits at now
4% success rate for the highest difficulty probably seems a bit high for lore penal legion success
It's not really a wonder that the Inquisition took the best of the rejects and uplifted them into acolyte status
Dare I say borderline Auric operatives
I like that Morrow and Zola have a conversation aboard the Mourningstar about how hard they have pushed Rejects. Morrow needs more bodies, Zola warns that they're dwindling their supply too much
Doesn't matter how much meat the grinder chews up
Some of it gets spit back out and is ready to go again
And Atoma needs more meat
I’m honestly invested in the new lore they dropped seeing I’m finally getting hints at the second big bad
Aka whoever Wolfer is working with
Cult Leader of Admonition
Even better that Hadron tries to complain about the statistics and Morrow just does not care because not only did the mission get done, the rejects survived doing it and that is all that really matters
She’s a tech priest, need I say more
Lives do not matter only efficiency in the eyes of the Omnissiah
Hadron tried to have us executed twice in the story and people still simp
that's what sealed the deal for me
Yeah well I like Morrow more cause he’s a grumpy old man that berates me so I can get better at my job of killing heretics
I like Masozi and Hallowette because of the mischief they get up to
I love the Vox Banter between Wolfer and Morrow so much
I enjoy the constant shit talking whilst I’m trying to keep myself alive
surgical + deadshot + lethal accuracy
one tap everything thats not an ogryn, mutant or boss
imo the best way to build the bp
but everyone seems really hung up on taking the trash blessing that increases your stagger distance by 25%
peak?
only thing i can improve on is the blessing level and stats but i dont have them yet
Shattering to Surgical I believe and yes you got the best you can make a Bolter
i like extra health but mostly just waiting until i can get those sweet max toughness boosts
450 health on ogryn is fun
vet is +1 wound and health, might swap to toughness
Are there like general best ones tho
Like 2 toughness ones and then a health one , or something along those lines
Oh ok then
What should I use as the little booster perks?
Health is still pretty sweet for vet
Imo, 2x gunner res, 1x sniper res at minimum
I’m using 2 health ones and +1 wounds
I'm using 2 toughness 1 hp but I'm trying to get 2 hp
Alright does sound good , gunners are so annoying

Gunners on their way to ensure your HP vanishes the moment your toughness breaks
Yep 😂
Been trying out some new stuff and realised that my health , toughness and resistances are what helps my death be sped up lol
This is my current build , but I’m unsure of what is worth grabbing after here. Help is always appreciated.
these bottom two will make survival much much easier
Tactical awareness, Iron will
Those are a must
Superiority complex if you have points to spare
Yeah I intended to go that route when I level up some more , still maxing out my vet 😂
I’ll add those two
Then is it worth grabbing rending strikes and bring it down?
Then I’ll go to the left path and grab anything left
noted
I dunno if I can afofrd to use deadshot though, but I do have surgical
I got a sort of weird officer sort of build dedicated to marking targets and giving my team temp hp
gonna replace my sapper shovel with the mark 6 knife so I can deal with the hordes when they get close
bolt pistol and kraks take care of the rest
since you're already going focus target, you can pick up the redirect fire node and that will help you hit one shots dreg gunners and flamers if you have +elites and +maniac on the boltpistol without needing to crit
After grabbing the musts listed yeah those two are good to grab
Rending strikes though matter on weapons cause like
Some can be 100% damage increase or literally nothing
I’m using a chain sword rn but if I’m given the opportunity , I want to get a good rashad axe and use that
You do have Trench Fighter
A build like this is what I’d probably do if left to my own choices
Honestly as good as determined is
I think I got that, I'm not sure.
Get Precision Strikes
It’s more headshot damage
30% on both melee and ranged to be exact
Yeah I didn’t know what to grab out of those 3 tbh I just picked one bc the points didn’t change for whichever I picked
I'll see where it is, I'm not throwing away half my build to get if it's somewhere in assfuck nowhere.
you can't say to be exact without mentioning the fucked up weak spot formula 
Yeah that’s good
If that’s max talent points you could drop the node in the middle that isn’t giving you a specific talent for something of your choice
What are weapons where rending strike is amazing?
Yep that is max
born leader and for the emperor aren't so powerful that it's worth taking both of them, you'd be betteroff taking just one and putting the other elsewhere
Get rid of for the emperor to get rending strikes or like onslaught or something
Alright
devil's claw
chainsword
recon lasgun
all autoguns
infantry & recon lasguns
heavy laspistol
autopistol
okay yeah precision is neato
being able to 3 shot a reaper without even marking it is kinda funny
I got take it down and rending too
Basically, always take bring it down over rending strikes
This is what I’m thinking rn and then switch out a point depending on weaponry possibly in the future
So I should take bring it down over rending strikes
Usually if it comes down to picking one from the two, yes
Cause it might slightly change your tree
which one would you say is better
I recall you said Rashad
Melee don’t bother me too much aslong as it doesn’t really require anything mechanical
You got the QOL talent for it Trench Fighter
And what I mean is like block cancelling or push attack spams
That sort of thing
Just a melee that just swings lol
Rashad really only had that for Rager horde clear lmao
Literally PA + Light 1 repeat
And for gun I like using plasma cannon , and I’d consider bolter and anything really
Idm ciag , that’s what I’m using as of now , but it’s not my favourite gun
I’m only using ciag bc it’s easy and good rn
What does that mean?
so what have thay done with the changes to weapon blessing and perks?
Quality of Life, makes it feel better to use
2nd
But I don’t think either will hit optimal breakpoints on 1st shot
When you don’t take Trench Fighter it’ll make it feel a bit clunkier but it’s still useable
Oh yeah I get you
They messed up the description texts that’s all
Well I do want Rashad axe just bc of all the good I’ve heard about it and it just seems like the overall choice
so nothing was change? at all
And it doesn’t sound challenging to use either , only to craft is it difficult
rashad is just well rounded
You’re better off waiting for the itemization update before attempting Rashad
Oh ok , what and when is that?
you could try PS6
Next major update
Oh okay cool
oh i were thinking this was out have thay given an date yet?
No, they just said end of summer
Could be September, could be October
Although at the rate that they’re teasing the next content drop idk
Honestly it’s up to you if you think you can get your resources back
They just released a lights out event for Rinda’s return and teasing a new enemy
But a good Rashad is really fucking difficult to roll
TLDR no
I’m just saving dockets to roll a new one after itemization update
At least every roll after itemization goes to 380 with enough investment
So u can tell which to keep
So I can just wait till itemization to make a god roll
I’m just gonna go for Rashad + plasma on day 1
Those are the only two stat-specific weapons on veteran usually
I’m not very rich just bc I haven’t played enough to be lol
So whatever this itemisation update is , I’ll just do that
new update is going to lessen the dockets gamba and offset that on diamantine
so in that regard you just have to play and not feel the urge of spending resources immediately
Tbh I’ll probably just find a decent stat spread version of each of my current weapons , make them each gold rarity and keep whatever I get , then I’ll save the rest for when I try for a good , like the other guy said , rashad and/or plasma
Once I hit level 30 on this vet
Me who runs HHA + Rashad
when is barber gonna learn how to trans my character so I can become a sigma cadia male
just spend more dockets
Money
oh i guess i just didn't notice it last time
no it’s not an option lmfao
No the personality scourge allows u to swap from male to female
Psychic bending or smth
psychic gender affirming surgery
spreading meowsinformation :3
yeah we already know about necrons
how’re necrons trans
in the future you hand the doc a tenner and get psychic blasted into the opposite gender
i accidentally gave my doc a tanner and then he took uncanny off mykhife
there is one necron that is iirc
the one from ciaphas cain?
wait no that’s a techpriest
From Twice dead king
i need 2 read that
imagine reading
all my information comes from youtube shorts
I absorb info from books I dont read like a peasant
the book from the guy that wrote infinite and the divine
you "read"
i spread them book cheeks
we are not the same
I also recommend Knights Of Macragge
Is Survivalist worth it?
Usually no, depends on ur ranged weapon
Xenos got two genders, alive and dead, and only the latter is acceptable
one mission into stealth vetting........ not bad. anything I can be doing for weapons specialist to get those numbers up?
Hey so I heard for now you like don’t wanna level weapons up right? I got like wait for the update or something?
Just got a 376 power sword and the urge to not level it up is immense
go for it
you can change the blessings after the update
"Bye Sefoni, I'm going out to kill some heretics"
"Not like that"
Bends reality
"Slay"
locks will be removed
It's not bad to level it up now
I heard from some guy I was running missions with that if you consecrate it after the update it boosts the base stats up or something
So I could get a 380
Anyone know if that’s true?
not really
as far as i know you can boost the stats
but not via consecration
it’s likely going to be a separate system
I might hold off just in case and roll blessings on a different one
just do it
ur gonna be holding on to it for like a month
and worst case ur gonna lose out on 4% of a stat
which is nothing
but chances are you won’t
True. What do you want on this thing anyways? I’ve always just used the combat knife
the thing is with the crafting update soon, actively going for a godroll isn’t really a good idea
powercycler, brutal momentum
Cool
if it’s a mk3 sunder is also good instead of BM
?
It’s a Mk VI for the strike down combo
it’s better to just hold on to the mats for god rolls, as everything can be made a 380 post update
Cool
then you want brutal momentum
Good to know
Heavies are totally used
for what?
But as you see fit and all
when would you use heavies?
not armor, you push attack for that
you get more damage out of just light spamming a target
Opening up on mixed ragers in a horde, or super dense hordes of bruisers
Heavies on charging muties
with entirely horizontal lights, it’s better to just light spam
you’ll kill 8 with 2 lights
push attack is better
you 2 shot with a push attack
and it’s faster
I one shot with a heavy but okay
Revolver is your best friend for that. Get a stack or 2 of Range spec and when you see a elites or Specials. Whip out the big iron and aim for the head
fair
I also one shot ragers of both kinds with crit heavies
relies on crit heavies
Given I have 20 percent crit, it's more likely then you think
if you aren’t running crits then that’s not gonna be very often
I also one shot both elite gunner types with heavies
Like I know they didn’t do it for game balancing issues but lore wise a charged power sword hit should 100% be able to go through a bulwark shield
outfit unlocked through penance prgoress
Anyway, I could charge. Triple light, because yes you're right. It is the default, very easy horde clear for a mk6 power sword. I can also charge, open with a heavy, double light, and kill even more for it
The point is, don't discount the heavies. They do work
triple light is great for mixed hordes imo, 2 lights clear chaff
and the 3rd light strikedown kills an elite or two
fair
i really just never bothered using them
which wun? ther's a lot of stuff unlocked through penance and I aint too smart, I'm smart for ogryn, but not when compared to boss
I have my old uniform, an armor, should I wear that for the time bein?
I have some goated Cadian drip if u want I can LYK the parts
makin Cadian Ogryn, not Cadian Boss
Oh
oh
this work for Cadian Ogryn?
its a huge leap in logic to assume someone speaking in veteran channel plays vet
yeah
For sure, looks pretty assume
im not really sure where you're coming from with that
IKR
Bold of me to assume asf
Boss is second most played character, but Ogryn feel better to me
wot that mean, see it lots and don't know the meanin
salute
what's the best pizza topping(s) no debate no contest no notes
gettin some pizza rn
and if you say pineapple its the inquisitorial firing squad for you
Pineapple 🍍
Me playing vet. And on principles wants you to know it.
you play vet? no way
Must be a Cadian
"Yeah I'm a vet, proud of it, you wouldn't have lasted a day on Cadia"
Mushrooms
cheese
if u need something
Damn cheese is a good answer
ping SFX
any more is bad
anchovies and mushroom kinda goes hard
what are we hoping for?
holding ads on a bolter, couldn't be me
I have backups
I guess you could do Pinning Fire + Cavalcade if you like magdumping
never played bolter
Boltgun doesn't really have many blessings that matter tbh
this is what I have
chat can I get advice for Weapons Specialist penance
What do you need
anything to make this easier
Run Zarona Revolver, get the Always Prepared talent node and remember that a single melee kill counts as 100% ranged crit chance so you can slap one Poxwalker and then headshot anything
Man-stopper is weird. I feel like I never feel it at all until I take it off lmao
high damage gun
stab mfs to get 3 stacks
swap to gun and shoot elites in head
Pepperoni, more meat always good
i love meat
Meat lover's pizza
pineapple
The best way to get Adept assassin is
/gen
I'll eat pineapple. I will absolutely not touch olives
With a high pierce weapon like revolver or plasma
ham works, but pineapple makes my stomach rumble bad so I don't eat it, feel sick like eatin the hounds
meat feast with pineapple as an addition is superb
Crit perks help
alternatively, a New Yorker
i thought it’s 3 melee kills
As long as you're landing Crit headshot kills during the weapon specialist buff window
FUCK olives
You'll make progress on the penance
I thought so too until a while back Azrael popped in and confirmed it is 100% and the tool tip is bugged. Someone tested it in the Psykanium and got 50 crits back to back on a single stack
olive jar flesh light
zarona with surgical and hand cannon, even when the crit isn’t guarenteed from weapon specialist, you still can get progress for that, so you can get 2-3 crit headshots with a bit of luck and aim
This includes melee too!
go back to hell
oh wow
As far as I know it has not been fixed or changed
now I want pizza
that’s insane lmfao
Yeah it's kinda goofy LOL
Also pineapple on pizza?
yes
Good lord there are heretics here
Here is the old chat if anyone wants to dredge the ancient texts
We can't be friends any longer sneaky
I was always a heretic
I am a clown after all
The circus belongs to the ring master
sniper kill was a non crit 
Neat maybe they fixed it recently
they changed the colour of crits from yellow to orange and it fucked me up for like a week
I haven't been reading patch notes LOL
i don't see color
very progressive of you homie
i don't think it was a listed change tbf
why is your lasgun brick shaped
weight limits
Maybe one of the devs finally noticed
wait that's not a lasgun
If I play boss, I use laspistol
you vile tech heretic
i forgot ghost was just weak spot hits and not just ranged lol
bash ghost for budget empathic evasion 
You know, I don't recall
But does serrated work on those buttstock hits?
i remember it working with bistol bash
you're rly straining my love for all humanity
Perfect
The planet broke before the Guard.
Can you say the same about your worlds?
No...no I dont think you can.
Cue 5 day long jaded cadian survivor backstory arc
Let's have a fist fight then, you'll fall in the last second, just like Cadia
A man worth bantering with... its been far to long
"Cadian? I said I'm CANADIAN"
abaddon blew up the timmies
I can go back to my world when I'm done kicking the ass of Chaos scum here
I hope you get the reprieve and chance to go back to your world as we- oh wait
I’m reading fall of cadia right now.
Nice
i could replace one of the blessings w/ r4 bloodletter or r4 thrust
or replace one of the perks..
what are the best blessings for shock maul?
Skullcrusher+ High Voltage/Lightning Reflexes
yeah any combo of those 3
I have once again become bored enough to consider playing darktide
It's truly darktimes
I'm trying, there's nothing to play
3?
Black myth wukong in 4 days
Oh yeah that's a thing
I tried playing speed freeks but the hit reg is worse than darktide
if the builds from gameslantern are a no go
where can i "steal" builds from?
Just post GL stuff here and we can tweak it
After a while you learn what’s good and can do stuff mostly yourself
what curio blessings should i be using?
Typical setup is 2 tough 1 hp but you can also do 1 tough 1 hp and 1 stamina
Modifiers is whatever the major stat is (hp for hp and tough for tough) stamina regen is good, gunner resist is nice and I know there is a breakpoint for snipers somewhere
1 sniper resist plus the 34% health thing
Camo if you want passive gain
I'd test in a mission cause it can be preferable to either on your play style
Not hard to get the stacks though especially with executioners stance
depends which weapon
vraks mk7
i use tunnel vision
landing headshots with semi auto guns like headhunters or lasguns is pretty easy
and you can sustain your volley against crowds of shooters better
i am not sure if tunnel vision increases toughness gain from kill confirmed or exhilarating takedown
i like taking camo with single shots so i can regain stacks from 0 easier
i recall most of my breakpoints being fine at like 5-8 so camo kinda makes up for an additional headshot
it better or else one of my builds is pointless 
take some points out to grab iron will so you aren't a glass cannon
then finish levelling up
What gun are you using
vraks mk7
you have counter fire but not exhilarating takedown
it helps for shooting all the little dudes
either take off counter fire and invest it in iron will or grab exh
keeping counter fire without exh is fine
just shoot an elite first and let the toughness overtime work
new with vet, is agile engagement good?
yes very im semi new anytime ive asked about talents people always tell me to grab that node
Yes
The nature of the game has you swapping weapons very often
Agile Engagement takes advantage of that
When you play the class more you come to realize vet is less pure ranged and more a hybrid class, so naturally AE is very good on Veteran
If you can get it that is
Cause sometimes point tax comes in and you should simply invest elsewhere
to be fair they are all hybrid classes
its just that vet in particular has a lot of things rewarding range and precision
Ladies and Gentlemen. It is with great pleasure that I announce: I have found Infernus 4.
do this and you're 90% done
except zealot 
because fuck zealot
they're ONLY melee
dont even think about having something apply to your ranged atacks!
.... still a little salty about the fotf nerf ;-;
That's because playing ranged zealot from far away is wrong
Anoint in blood wants you to be close
the weapons that were boosted most was primarily short ranged weapons
the laspistol and the shotguns
even though it helped the autoguns they were already good
also the real downside of the fotf nerf isn't it's effect on ranged weapons
its the effect on melee weapons that don't deal with armor well
as now those weapons are hard focussed onto very limited options
because every class gets many reliable ways of dealing with ranged armor, except the zealot
It's 100% rending now, it's an actual buff to every melee weapon
for your first swing
Yeah like before
it's not going to make weapons that were not good against armor, good against armor
the issue is now if you take a weapon that's not good into armor
you're funnelled into using the zarona, or boltgun
and one of those really is not very good, and the other really is not all that fun to take every single game
whereas before you could take loads of options
now you have a few
and the total power level of the class didnt go down
only mid tier options that got boosted, were affected
thats the issue
zarona didnt care about this
OH BOY
christ... nice roll
i spent all my event plasteel and all the plasteel i got doing the missions on power swords
i dont have power cycler 4
itemization shall save you 
also ive crafted like 10 power swords to transcendent total and i have literally only gotten sunder and rampage 4
actually one of them that i havent turned in has wrath 4
I got it while upgrading many, MANY power swords to annointed to try and get lucky with the blessings
Got Sunder IV and eventually got Power Cycler IV
Wait yes blue
wrong tier
I got Power Cycler IV, Sunder IV, Brutal Momentum IV, and Slaughterer IV by doing that
I spent so much plasteel and ordo dockets
i got all of those by going to blue but never sunder 😭
for the longest time i didnt even think it was a real blessing
i thought it was something that got removed from the game
veronica
Perfect
Sometimes I refuse to put those handles on swords just cause I cant help but think the handle is going to get in the way
i think im missing something here because getting in the way is the point
so your fingers don't get sliced off
To be fair that is the point of a guard on a handle, to get in the way of the other guy's sword
Maybe they want their fingers sliced off

Big brain tactics. Bait them into thinking they can cut your fingers off so they stop swinging at your head and vital organs

defs my faves
until the crafting update though, sadly that +elites on the recon can't be swapped to +unyielding :c but my other veteran has a +maniac +unyielding
huh
mmmm raking fire mkv on an infil vet
such a hard pick sometimes tbh, I like Infernus+deadshot being able to tag things and have them die to burn to save ammo but... throne, magdumping with +40 AND Surprise Attack?
Yo so like
I got power cycler 4 and supercharge 3 on my power sword
Is that okay or is brutal momentum that good? I only have one re-bless left and I’d like to have +5 crit
send a picture
supercharge is shit and brutal momentum basically triples your clear speed
Uploading to the Xbox network
ahhh
No +5 crit?
with ps? Nah
elite is great unarmored is meh but blessings are 95% of psword
Time to roll T4 brutal momentum, oh golly oh gosh
any tire bm works
Oh
the main part is the cleave effect and that's th e same throughout
it's a great sword
All i had to do was complain i guess
only took like 20k plasteel
big day for power cycler
she power my cycler till i supercharge
is competitive urge any good
idk if im just blind but i dont notice any change (maybe its just constantly active?)
it's a nice buff but way too inconsistent and uncontrollable. half of the time it activates you've killed everything important already, and most of the other times it'll be when you're fighting trash/things you already one shot so the damage is inconsequential
so it's a luxury pick in a tree that already has a bunch of good options
debating swapping to the 20% damage on big boys
that one is consistent and good
unsure if it does anything for my breakpoints tho because i alr have boltgun and kraks
more boss damage good tho
i'm not familiar with boltgun bps so you'll have to check for yourself
kraks already oneshot all the elite ogryns directly though
Ogryn friend said "man I love halo" and jumped on one so I joined him
whats the best chainsword blessings
Check the pinned messages.
Bloodletter/rev it up
can i still use this boltgun build just rolled a nice one and wanna try it out
i'd move determined to redirect fire but overally yeah
i mean no how dare you steal build >:(
i search up bros post anytime i need a build and i am very bad at under-the-hood stuff
rather plug and play a smart guys build and just play than look at the talents for too long ig
you don't have to explain yourself, i was joking
fsho ya dw im aspie
approximately three dollars fifty cents
Usually what I do is, I’ll use other people’s builds to learn how each thing affects another, and then I’ll dismantle it bit by bit and replace it with something else to see what happens. Ogryn is pretty simple, so it’s easy for me to plug in different things into the, albeit very simple, equation.
fatshark release-a-patch-that-people-actually-wanted-that-doesn't-introduce-nonstop-rubberbanding-even-without-mods challenge (impossible)
It’s only fun using other peoples builds for so long, for me.
it's only fun when the game is actually playable
Totally unrelated to what I said but sure
I'm just salty that the new patch is also broken on launch for me
Understandable.
Xbox still gets error coded every other game if it makes you feel any better.
ok so I am in love with the 6d recon lasgun
Is too small. Should be much bigger!
Cannot fit in hands. Only good for hitting.
Is best for punies. But imagine lascannon! Want!
IS GOOD IDEA!
Or autocannon...
Hug like anything with cannon.
didnt know you could have a buffering icon as a weapon thats cool!
Screenshot of a clip i took because i forgot to take a pic of it while the game was open
There's a reason hadron insults our intelligence
Although that buffer might have actually just been slow loading from the game
Running darktide on an external ssd does result in odd situations at times
Swap carapace to crit chance or maniac
Carapace doesn’t matter much for infantry Autoguns
That is true HOWEVER
If u proc all stacks of weapon specialist and pop a damage stim it lets u delete crushers in 2ish seconds which is
Extremely inefficient to prep but extremely funny when it happens

If u need a damage stim to do damage then it’s not worth going for
Is the mk5 still considered the best autogun?
I’m having a though time doing the long bomb penance. Any suggestions?
Yes, apologies
Yeah
Would love to but anytime I get a horde it’s when it’s in close quarters
That or it still bounces
Exactly what I did
I just threw mine straight up
With an under toss?
Cause if I throw mine up regularly it just blows up into the air
Then yes
So true
incestuous siblings who killed and ate their parents to give their souls to a demon
Oh
Hug think bad thing only happen when talk to you
You say only bad thing
there's a bunch of end events open enough, just practice in grinder till you know the angle and you'll get it
yeah pretty much
😔
Does it count if it bounces off the enemy?
Or does that count as a bounce
i'd assume so but i'm not sure
don't look at me I'm doing clown things but yeah sure go ahead LOL
...wait
nah imma keep going
why did I take Counter-Fire
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
A
I maybe picked that by mistake LOL
i didn't even notice 
swap Counter-Fire to Redirect Fire
Counter-Fire is not good imo
LOL
sometimes I am tired and flying through just clicking talents on gameslantern because I am distracted at work and trying to throw something from memory
definitely do not use Counter-Fire
probably just auto pilot from non boltgun builds
probably yeah
or chaos corruption
that sounds more likely
I fucking hate barrels
Should I be using the krak frag grenade?
shredder frag
That's a lot of stamina
Munitions stockpile krak grenades, never worry about crushers or monstrosities ever again
they're also much worse for the penance due to the smaller radius
Sometimes my grenades are blowing up after hitting the ground and sometimes before. Might be an internet thing at this point.
Krak grenades are magnetic. They might be snapping to an enemy, can't path through the floor, and explode. Grenades are very weird in this game.
idk how many shotty enjoyers there are these days, but this near perfect stat roll lawbringer is in the shop
watch the 2nd perk and blessing both be garbage and you cant replace all of them
then itemization shall save it 🙏
I’m using the shredder grenades and I’ve hit (and killed) hordes of enemies without it even touching the ground and I still haven’t gotten in. That’s why I was asking if it was the wrong grenade
you mean like this?
mhm
infested RIP

full bore is also useless and near impossible to proc with this variant.
perk or blessing you must choose, for one you shall keep and one you shall lose
Oh I have no fucking idea. Penances in this game are fucked. I was screwed by a literal rounding difference on my zealot for the 25% healing penance for the longest time because the amount healed rounds down if it can't be made perfectly 25%, which means you can only ever heal 24% of your health.
shotguns in general are kinda meh
I haven't played in months, when did these new weapons drop? 3 pickaxes, 2 shock mauls, assault shotty, and bolt pistol (is that all of em)?
that's strange. it might just be bugged for you since it unlocked just fine for me
shotguns would be slightly more viable if they had faster firing speed but slowly loading 5 chunks into a ragers one by one to end up not killing it isnt worth it
Probably. I even have the perk where it does the extra area damage, but nothing
end of june
ah, ty
No respite + full bore is usually a 2 shots affair
hyperbole
dont surrender for the blessing? i need to look up this update. i have heard it mentioned
You’re better off keeping a well-optimized roll for the update than harvesting a tier 1 blessing for a meager amount of mastery XP boost
I finally got it after throwing my grenades randomly at the start of a mission
the machine spirit has been satisfied
Praise the Omnisiah
Ah yes, trickshotting grenades
FINAL KILLCAM crossmap tomahaw
It was a more innocent time
dang, just saw the reddit post. looks awesome, thanks for the heads up
EMPRAH LOVES ME
do inspiring barrage + gloryhunter to make it a toughness battery for top tier born leader value 
Locke mk2 SmallPP Boltgun
how can I improve this
Deadly accurate to pinning fire and stamina to carapace, I'd guess.
Not too well versed on boltgun but that sounds right from memory.
im assuming you mean puncture
and if you’re going carapace you might as well keep deadly accurate
stamina —> elite outside of executioners stance
I heard something about rolling black outs. I came as soon as I could with my trusty little flashlight gun with a flashlight attachment
2 points left what would you grab? using doom shotty rn and i swap around melees
it’s like lights out in auric but without the high intensity part
because it doesn’t happen in auric
i’d take the points from survivalist and take close and kill instead to pick up agile engagement
or take marksman and stamina regen delay
like this? ill try it out
is there a mod to make weapon switching smoother
yes, join the worm cult
doomshotty is addicting
even if its not like the best
fun to try and fine situations and play around making it shine*
and when it does big bada boom
So true (I have never used it)
Wdym
Who said that
I want to have a word with them
is some here to help real quick?
Does anyone here know if you double tap tagging an enemy with 8 focus target stacks if the last tag will be a 0 stack tag? 🤔
or does the 8 stack tag persist
nvm, figured i could just test it in the test room, 8 stacks still persist even if you spam tags on the same dude
The higher stack takes priority always
Remarking the enemy does refresh the current stacks on them iirc
They at least designed thi intelligently to avoid multiple vets fucking up the higher stack
Ye?
hey breasties is this any good?
🧱
ok? can you clarify why instead of just sending an emoji
You didn't get anything useful from Hadron and since you already used up 1 of your fixes on it already
That be a nice looking Brick
At least you can scrap it for Trickshooter 4 for some mastery XP
and this? Is this worth keeping or shall I scrap it for some mastery xp
if ur comfortable with what ur currently using just scrap it for blessing experience in the coming patch
grind out blessings and stack resources before trying to roll a good weapon
learned blessings pre patch will convert into experience in the upcoming itemization patch
sheesh, chill
nah I had caps lock on mb
😅
Best to keep it as is unless you want to spend resources on hoping you get a blessing you don't own it yet
getting closer......... ouh
At least Adept Assassin isn't that bad unlike Armourbane
armourbane is going okay considering armour-wearing scabs count
the heavy armoured melee and kinda inbetween melee ones count for it
which is great
And doesn't help that maelstorm missions (At the time) can't roll no ammo scab melee only
Unless that got fixed recently
Won't be surprise if armor bane is your last Vet pen to chew through
not bad
it will be slow, but yeah
and nah my last penances will 100% be Through The Mud
this is pretty good right?
looks alright
any changes?
i use vraks mk7 for this build
i am lvl 28 so there are 2 points left to spend
Iron Will, grab Iron Will
Get Iron Will, probably get Determined (HH Autoguns aren't immune to suppression). I'd drop the keystone entirely and dip into melee branch, too. Never found much reason to run Marksman Focus.
how veteran will gonna feel when Fatshark release full scion armor sets
iam on my way to iron will
will check determined
i am honestly using the keystone just for the "sniper" theme
Just think of it as a grind for the 100 vet missions and maybe it won't be so bad
You're making good progress
Armor bane is gonna take longer
But what can you do
enhanced blitz maelstrom helped a lot regardless of whether it had melee scabs
like i was getting 40~ armoured kills per game
(unless it spawned dregs more than scabs that is)
is this any good?
Yes what does shredder stat do?
dmg modifiers for the special attack
Oh nice. Yeah that's pretty decent
beefed it up to ourple......... not terrible so far
Alright I've been out for like half a year to maybe even a year. What's good now, what got the nerf bat, etc?
How can I improve with the Infantry Lasguns
The recoil gives me tunnel vission , don't like the sights
Which recon lasgun is better? VId or VIIa?
VIIa is the heavy one
Prob the most comfortable to use
Yeh I want the heavy shooter one, not the laser one
what are the ideal stats on it?
perks + blessings and stats
DumDum and HeadHunter
I heard it became really good after Secrets of Machine God update
Headhunter for crit chance to get infinite ammo from ShockTrooper Talent
DumDum is self explanatory
Flak and Maniac are the standard
i can tell you to dump mobility
Good enough for now?
locked PC3 is oof
so the vet document pinned on this channel is bad?
you really want PC4 specifically on power swords, its enables a lot of extra damage output with the extra tier. if it was crafted PC3 then at least you can swap it out once you find PC4 but having PC3 locked on means its permanently gimped with the power up mode
ah, that's what you meant, I thought the blessing was bad
this is only for now, this game wants me to quit, eventually it will win, I only get shit rolls
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I know how that feels
what do you recommend me changing here?
Execution to surgical
How much extra damage is surgical % wise?
oh, I see, wait, it is to trigger deadly accurate more often?
quite a lot, it increases your likely hood of critting (eventualy providing 100%) letting you ramp hard off of deadly accurate
I get it, I get it
the bolt pistol is a sort of mid range sniping weapon, so you want to be measuring your shots in most cases anyways... so might as well reward youself for doing so :>
yeah, that's why you see me ranting about the stupid ADS inclined design
stupidest idea you can have when designing ADS in a game that is mostly dark
I like to click heads and I have got used to the bolt pistol pacing, I still can't master the thug ADS because is anti-brain pattern
pc3 on mk6 is actually enough
it covers the push attacks and the two light sweeps
the last ones I need.........
Good luck!
Slowly getting there
that's where I wish I was
I want that quelling stance so bad for my gunker
At the point most of my pens are either do X mission Y times, Cleaning up the last of the relics and X missions in Y area, and Zealot stuff
pfff, baby numbers 😂
On the subject of your mk6 ps warbreaker
Alright veterans, I rolled the stats for a good Zarona Revolver but the Perks and Blessings are less than desirable.
+8% Ranged Damage (Groaners, Poxwalkers) almost certainly is going to be rerolled for +25% Damage (Flak) unless I'm given a good reason why not. The bigger question is the T1 Hand-Cannon and T3 Sustained Fire. A higher tier Hand-Cannon I would almost certain keep but +18% damage on second, third, and fourth shot seems like it ain't bad for the bigger baddies that would take multiple shots anyways.
It's quite viable atm
Replace Sustained fire for Surgical and upgrade Hand-Cannon 1 to a higher tier and it'll be workable
upgrade Hand-Cannon instead of getting Flak?
Armourbane is the last actual talent penance left for Veteran
the bigger baddies take multiple shots, but you lower the amount of shots needed by taking surgical to get crits (to also proc hand cannon). just critting on the first shot does more than sustained fire, so sustained --> surgical is definitely the move
i can't say much about handcannon 1 vs 4 and how that affects breakpoints
But what i can say is that flak is much less important than +elite damage. +Elite lets you oneshot dreg gunners without a crit and reduces the shots to kill a crusher (but i've only tested that with t4 handcannon). Scab gunners and shotgunners already get oneshot. Flak might change something for bodyshot breakpoints but i don't remember that information
i'd recommend testing elites vs t4 handcannon with loadout config before making that second change
manstopper then it's up to you
normally both barrels
Hurry up and finish them all
Working on it 
Manslaughter and either Both Barrels or Scattershot would be my recommendations.
Honestly the iron sights on the bolter and bolt pistol are what made me finally bite the bullet and mod the game so i can put optics on them
I love the bolters a lot but GOD their irons suck so bad
The bolt pistol feels good, the mobility, reload (even with the dumb impractical animation) but the ADS screws it
My Zealot has a god roll double barrel, that thing also owns
DB is just god tier because it HAS to be
To make people want to use it in any game they HAVE to get a double barrel right
worth 2.8k @ melks shop? how significant is -18% ranged, dont have a lot of exp on the shotty
it could prevent you from one shooting mid range, sometimes I can do that with mine, which surprised me for a shotgun
I don't know how significant is in %, you would have to look at the numbers in detail, compared with these
word.. thank you very much! is the breakdown to the left a mod?
er.. to the right
no that's just the inspect menu
do yall fw this knife (for right tree vet)
haymaker bad on mk3
It's pretty big, ngl
Any double barrel for me has to be at least 70 otherwise I may as well be stabbing the thing I shoot at instead
The length of a good knife dash slide
LF a squad to assist me with the "On Overwatch" penance
I must work soon but I can offer a neat strategy to get On Overwatch that has helped others get it much easier
Grab Infiltrate, Low Profile and Overwatch talent nodes. Infiltrate stealth lasts 8 seconds. Low Profile also lasts 10 seconds and gives you -90% threat reduction when stealth breaks meaning if you are near a team mate you can literally shoot your gun and watch enemies walk past you to beat up the poor Psyker you're standing next to instead. Overwatch talent node gives you +1 charge at the cost of +33% CD. Infiltrate normally has 45 sec on CD. With Overwatch it has 2 charges and recharges every 1 min. Put Combat Ability Regen perks on all your curios to lower this CD. Use this with Tactical Awareness talent for -6 sec on ability CD per special kill. Get an ability CD reduction stim ASAP. Chain your Infiltrate and Low Profile during spicy fights to keep aggro off you and stay near the team. If things get extra hot pop CD stim and prepare to use Infiltrate more to keep hidden from the fight. You CAN still fight because during Low Profile you have the threat reduction. If an enemy hits you once? Pop Infiltrate immediately. Restores toughness to full and On Overwatch Penance only counts HP DAMAGE as failing it
there it is
You get 18 seconds of safety from Infiltrate + Low Profile and with 2 charges from the Overwatch talent node you bump that to 36 seconds of being able to avoid damage
You can also underhand throw grenades without breaking stealth
You can also earn it on Malice iirc? So the easiest way to get it would be Low Intensity Malice
The commissars are not watching. The Emperor will not punish cowardice. Become Sneaky
If they can't see it, it's legal

whats the best nade for it?
Shredder Frag Grenades
Shredder Frags I suppose
ok
ogryn nuke
Krak will break stealth if it magnets to a target and explodes
Drop 2 Shredders while in stealth and you can clear a room/make space safely without breaking Infiltrate invisibility
Unpopular opinion lads, will always trust an Auric Exemplar to get it done over a Storm Survivor
Shredder Frags are nutty
Both mean nothing lmao
Just had the shittest maelstrom with 2 ASSs
Overhand throws still break stealth though
Actually people with those 2 titles tend to ragequit the most xdd
At the first days of penance update, Aurics were a pain in the ass because of those turds trying to get their titles
I had a game once where I went through like 6 quitters or so
💀
is infernus actually good on recon lasgun or is it a trap? I'm seeing very conflicting opinions when I look it up online, some say it's good but the ones that say its bad say that you will have killed he mob long before the burn stacks do any actual damage and even at full stack it's not that much damage
I've been enjoying infernus on recon lasgun
and which recon is the best one
VId is a decent option for Infernus
is this good? (im only lvl 27 btw)
Depensd on what youre looking for
MII has very good ammo efficiency
Mk VII has cleave so it's very good for crowd clearing
Mk VI is very easy to stack Onslaught, and is good time-to-kill
is onslaught a must for all 3 or just the VId?
Onslaught is not very good talent in general imo
Onslaught works best with Mk VId, but I personally think it's viable on Mk ii
Just use melee on Crushers
what weapons should I use?
it's easier to scroll through the actual tree if you want to show it
or make it here and screenshot

did they revamp the crafting system yet
No
no
