But I've kinda made Exe Stance, MF, CitA and Rending Strikes work for spraying down squads of Maulers with the II and VIIa
The little bit of extra rending from Rending Strikes and CitA go a LONG way to making them feel better vs Maulers
show your build again
This is what I tend to use for the VId
Here's a message link for a few builds I alternate between for the Mk II and Mk VIIa
What Siegfried?
The Exe Stance/Marksman's Focus build I mentioned is there too
Like Istfg im the only Veteran on the morningstar with that name
I've yet to see another
Slide, and Dodge
VOC to have Golden to absorb
Smoke Grenades
lets see what else
hehe shovel go brr
Any blessing that gives you immunity to ranged attacks
use cover plus the other things above
ghost (1.2 seconds invuln to ranged on weakspot hit)
Love the Fold Shovels
The fucking Alt F4 shovel
if im in the open should i just run to cover
Ghost or Stripped Down
Ghost usually for any guns that are precision based
like infantry lasguns
Stripped down paired with Duck and Dive is actually stupid
I have a clip to show that off
if you can kill em all, i'd just dodge and keep moving forwards. but if it's a lot i'd dodge towards cover
6 Views. Watch Duck and Dive + Stripped Down is Fair and Balanced and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the #1 Game Clip Platform.
Here this
its so damn dumb
I was thinking of refining it for Carapace and Flak for a Plasma Gun
Maybe replace flak with
Idk
Unyielding?
i must have this power
You could also try running Gunner Resist on your curios. With Iron Will, a Toughness curio or two and Determined you can just sorta tank Gunners at a distance and keep shooting them down. Ghost (for Laspistol, Infantry Lasguns and Headhunter Autoguns) is also really good for just standing out in the open Stormtrooper style and ignoring shots like you've got the plot armour of a named character
two things the harness said power thats a must
Mix in a slide dodge here and there when things are extra spicy
well i play auric damnation so its always a lot
classic
If you've got the TDR, a solid amount of toughness and Confirmed Kill running you can sorta just eat an entire firing line sometimes and pick them off one after the other
If the toughness pops you're probably going to get shredded though LOL
@candid agate So here's your two Must's
thing i hate most is gettinf staggered so i just cant do nothing
I honestly suggest
highly
get Stripped Down 4
on your weapon of choice
and then that talent
they synergize so well its fucking disgusting
though i doubt ill have enough points for my focus fire build
(we hate the CIAG in this household)
I guess there's the Get Back in the Fight talent for avoiding stagger for a short time after toughness breaks but generally that's not a good talent to have vs Catch a Breath. It could help for dealing with the stagger while you adjust though
@candid agate Should also ask do you know your absolute MUST TAKE talents for Veteran
i am not for this household :(
not really tbh, i just run with a half assed build most of the time
Alright well here I'll give you a run down
oh i already have those on both my builds lol at least the blue ones
What backup sent is your must for VOC but if we're trying to be flexible.
Red: Highly Recommend/Musts
Orange: Recommend
Yellow: Suggest if you dont want to Tax yourself with Grenade Regen (If you're not running a VOC build)
obviously take into consideration the build you're making is you're running Duck and Dive
Which I honestly recommend doing Weapon Specialist for your keystone
i mean weapon specialist doesnt really work that well with a focus fire build
I'd say thats an interesting choice for these High Mobility high ROF weapons
but its possible
but really janky since activating executioner's stance won't proc the swap bonus from weapon specialist
to be fair rn my autogun has dum dum and fire fenzy
More so the fact of just Exec on the weapons in general
so its more damage than mobility
yeah
Dumdum is easier to get damage off of
Actually Im wondering
if you want to run Exec with the weapon
let me experiment actually
Quite easy to get around that, though. Just draw your ranged weapon by hand and press exe stance after.
ngl I just threw something together that might work?
Kinda just fucking winged it lmao
Gonna test is Psyk real quick
@candid agate I have one simple question
can you click on heads at all
or spray into headshots
time to spread the cult of hh
No its a Marksman Focus build
thats why
Making sure they have Stripped Down + Duck and Dive
my aim is inconsistent as hell
sometimes i dome a sniper from 100 metres away
other times i cant hit a pox walker walking right by me
so its like 60/40 chance to hit a bad guy
Xbox or PC
PC
OKAY YOU HAVE HOPE THEN
lmao
I might toss this to you just so you can forcefully improve yourself overtime
cause trust me i was there
I
@last parcel you'll find this funny
Im listening to LTG rage in the background
oddly though in TF2 when i use the bazaar bargain my aim turns godlike
like the gun is blessed
I got a really good clip to show off how this build works
Check zealot chat
he dropped the hard R right when I was about to show off this build

Whats happening
taxes
The best fucking melee ever
Taxe haters
I will die on this hill
@candid agate Alright got a clip to show it off in a vaccum
obviously you'll be running around like a methhead the entire time seeing its Duck and Dive + Stripped Down
Watch Test. and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
yes thats me
You have been sentenced to 24 hours reading gameslantern
@candid agate obviously run it with your IAG of choice with Stripped Down, just click on heads should be simple enough dude
The mk2 taxe actually a perfectly balanced weapon
Shred headtaker, shred bromentum, bromentum headtaker
BM + HT
Putting this random vet on blast just to show off its pretty good at Horde Clear
Watch Tanner Vet Spotted in the Wild and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
Though this is the Mk4, not the Mk2 which is objectively better
Idk preference wise I prefer the Mk4
but I will state Mk2 is better
Yeah it's actually really funny how good vet gets with rashad
Psword still looks cooler tho
is this a good plasma gun?
Just about as good as it gets tho blaze away is preferable over shattering imo
its works well
My mistake
Missing breakpoints
mfw the level 15 vet somehow joins an auric lobby and runs around with a grey bolter, he was being pretty accurate tho with his name being Krieg related (dying alot) ((for glory))
He must have been in someone else party
im using this from a long time and still using
idk ive been getting alot of level 15 scion helmet vets (one of which sounded like an actual 5 year old and was screaming at us to pick him up after dying to like his 4th pox burster)
Which one?
has a duo partner who drags them into auric, no way for a 15 to get into auric unless they group with 30+ and the level'd player ques
He probably means the one with the eagle on it
Ithought there was a new one
It's all new if you don't have it
either that 30+ friend was trying to show them what darktide can REALLY be like or they didnt understand that at higher difficulties you need a somewhat decent stat weapon to do ANYTHING
They could do it in another game
what is it with shield ogryns and not knowing how to fight in auric
as in they dont know how to fight at all and are in auric
this shield ogryn did not have the node that gives him toughness on heavy attacks and with no shield and 24 health left i watched him pull out a medkit then put it away then run at a firing line of shooters without blocking after watching him stumble around and just push people as the last guy alive for 5 minutes
its so infuriating
it is like this every time
every class has bad players that don't know how anything works, but its most aggressively noticeable with bad ogryns lol
My favorite thing is someone placing down a medpack in the airlock before a med station
even better if both players holding medpacs drop them at the same time in an airlock right before a med station

Love it when someone else an I both place down ammo packs and just look at each other for a second
i did that then magdumped to eat an entire pack so nobody would notice
then i ate a mauler overhead
Shooting while spamming e on the crate to insta eat it like a vacuum
none of us can aim 
Aiming? We don't do that here.
Why is Ogryn the only one who gets a Salute emote?
Joins match that apparently immediately went to shit
everyone's dead Plogryn with half HP a horde with like 3 tox bombers
and clutches it
what the fuck happened is all Im wondering
as for now, my 2 primary weapons
BUUUUUUUUUT ammo efficient, and i'm designed sharpshooter
and recon for "fck ammo efficienty, more HO FCK HO F*CK"
when you're level 30 and get actually good Headhunters
literally anything with Stability Above 70% is usable and feels good
My beloved Agri IX
That 100% weak spot damage with crits is insane
And headhunter makes the chance of a crit way more often
Weakspot is actually the weakest part about it
mainly just cause the calculation on it is really bad
so when locks get lifted I was gonna change that to like
unarmored or maniac
probably unarmored cause i want to drop kick Dreg Gunners easier
I'm so fucked on my sleep medicine

I just got this game but I’m new to gaming and don’t know how to find my way around getting the task done, I’m always lost trying to get to my destination 🤦🏽♂️
Is there a way to get a map 😫
No
How do you find your way around?
Repetition memory just following teammates
Oh wow I don’t know anyone that plays the game 🤦🏽♂️
Is there anyway we can I can be your teammate
Listen to your/teammate characters
Stick together. If you don't the Emperor will be mad (because you got hurt and he loves you)
may i enquire what grip is that on your weapon? i am trying to copy it since it looks good
It’s a hand built grip out of two revolvers and a recon stock
From a plug-in I believe
oh
Just follow your team lol. Even if all 4 of you get lost, you can still cover one another until you eventually figure out where to go
Also look for places where you can safely drop down ledges
Maps are all designed with linearity in mind, sometimes paths branch off but ultimately you reach the same đestination
You and your teammates will occasionally say a voice line indicating your going thr right way as well
Generally try to find stairs or drops, the way forward almost always including going up or down.
Is there a way for me to heal myself when my life/shield is low 😫
Only way to heal hp is stims, medipack, and medicae station
Toughness you just stab someone
Simple as
don't get hit 4head /j
can someone tell me how I randomly got deadeye
did you have volley fire equipped?
spaghetti code go brrrr
My toughness increases when I stab?
When you kill something in melee
Toughness is refilled by:
being near teammates
killing enemies with melee
triggering certain abilities
Vet has a node high in the tree that regens a large amount when killing elites and specials
The being near teammates part only works outside of melee
You have to not be near enemies
I thought it was just a toughness regen that always applied in coherency regardless of whether or not enemies are near and scaled up depending on ally count/various nodes
Nope
that's dumb
You have to be away from stuff

If it was constant you would be insanely hard to kill with 3x 30% toughness curios
be great if this game had useful information in its tutorials lmao
[your context here]
real
Me when hardon didn't give me thrust T4
For a autogun like the Headhunter would you rather take the middle keystone or left keystone?
For using the combat stance ability
Hm k
I only use the right keystone on extremely small mag size weapons like the revolver or double barrel just to take advantage of the rounded up reload. Trying to use that keystone in other builds is annoying since the buff goes away if you switch weapons too early
You can pull a sneaky cat though and use it for the firerate
Man I forgot how to kill with melee
Hit things until they die?
Would Deadshot also work well or will that cause some issue?
Deadshot is good, it's just a skill check on stamina management
anybody know which of the recon lasguns is the best one?
Depends on what you want to do
so what is each one best at?
Mk6 has highest fire rate but is least efficient
Mk2 is most efficient and is middle for fire rate and damage
With IV Infernus stacks it does great damage over time ^
Mk7 takes 2 ammo per shot but does most damage
You spelled 4
ok thanks
I meant the blessing tier but yeah
I haven’t slept
Its ok I don’t blame you
super high stats but is this any good? never used a maul on my vet
I figured but was wondering if the weapon type in general is good or bad
mostly using a power sword or chainsword
anyways thanks for the reroll tips
I'll try it sometime soon ig
I haven't tried Agni but the Indig is a beast, just throw hordes around like an ogryn
oh thats cool, I mainly use melee for hrodes anyways
although the roll I use is _ just cause I like Falter
Falter is one of the worst blessings
gotta weigh good vs fun :D
It doesn’t even seem like it would be that fun though, hard to hit weak spots when everything is on the floor
And no power outside of thrust is iffy
H1L2 just chains sidesweeps, thrust hits on H1 and the H2looping hit, which activates quite often
I love these two blessings. Feels like the old vt2 20/40/60% damage on staggered talents again
Just return to the game. I can't remember which axe is good? The only thing I remember is that Achlys is kinda bad
What perk and blessing should I be looking for?
Thanks
Oh and you also need nearly 80% stats in everything except mobility
It’s easier to roll on zealot because you can fudge breakpoints with Martyrdom
Damage and First Target I feel are the most important stats, the closer to 80, the better. Finesse and Pen are also important, as long as they are over 70, they're fine.
Mobility, dump stat, as Cann said.
Rashad becomes far easier to roll in a month
Real
Flak?
Swear crusher BP relied on carapace
Eh I guess both work
I just recommend flak because it’s the most common
And it covers both shotgunners + scab ragers
Maulers too
Typically you're hitting carapace vs maulers though
Since your heavy attack is overhead
Personally I found it worse when dealing with maulers when you take flak
Since just taking carapace you can just spam heavies
Into their head
Scab ragers .. sure I just don't think scab ragers are that common nor are they as scary as regular ragers
But it's not something I'd take for the BP on it
Since carapace is your most dangerous enemies
Question regarding the heresy level missions, is a chainsword/plasma gun a good loadout? I ran with the shock maul/plasma gun, struggled a bit with melee, whereas PG carried with the rest of the damage
Plasma gun is one of the most powerful ranged weapons in the entire game
Mk13 Chainsword/Plasmagun is the tryhard meta, but it's not strictly the best
Personally, I prefer using the mk6 power sword
Mk 6 is still S++ tier killing anything short of an ogryn in 1-2 hits. Only downside being low mobility
brunt has bankrupted me trying to roll even a 370 on a rashad i am weeping
as i understand it brunt is still gonna be how we roll for bases though right?
Me af with the new shotgun
I haven't even gotten one over 360 yet
The Omnissiah fuckin hates me
ive spent in the region of 1million dockets trying to roll a rashad lmfao
melk has been of no help either
FIVE TRILLION MORE DOCKETS TO THE SHOP ZOMBIE
WAITER WAITER MORE 320 BASES
one of these days brunt is gonna be found dead in an alleyway the way he gives out weapons
ahhh right i see
It's only good when you get a weapon with a single-digit stat
Because that's just comedy gold
either way ive managed to basically complete the combat axe blessing sticker book so my mastery should be good when update hits :)
closest i got was a 10% mobility power sword
I had a 7% reload speed Bolter once
That shit took three business days to put a mag in
@radiant chasm

POV: Me juggling 20 crushers while my team is struggling to kiill the one mutant in the back line
Fellow vets, i am in need of help. Which weapons are the best with Marksman Focus? I want to finish the penance
I'd recommend Agripina autogun or recon 7a for the extra cleave
columnus mk5 is my go
Lawbringer special shot with manstopper was goofy and kinda fun while also being pretty dang effective on hordes
Your best melee weapon and the crabwalk
Also frag grenades
i wasnt even goin off the meta stuff
just looking for best loadout to bring for higher level missions lol
At first, i used a chainsword plus a headhunter rifle, the semi-auto one
I love my headhunters
They are...magical
But they just don't match the sheer stopping power of some other guns
Vraks MkVII is the one i've been using for malice missions before i tested it on heresy
true
bolter was the other, besides PG
but I didnt like the feel of it
After the itemization
I may seek to build my perfect vraks 3 headhunter
Surgical. Deadly accurate, elite and manic
also been testing the agripinaa mk1 but havent brought it to a diff 4 mission yet
honestly try to steer clear of infantry autoguns for the most part
I love opening salvo on my vraks 7
Slightly delay on firing and it activates on every shot
Practically a permanent boost with good trigger discipline
got voices of command on my main, for the extra toughness boost
Do frag kills count to the penance?
all kills count as long as you have the stacks, even melee ones
Oh shit
yeah it seems less daunting now doesnt it?
Yes, now my 1000 kills on it already seem really fucking stupid l ol
its good but surgical + deadly accurate is better
hadron has blessed me (original blessing was falter)
the easiest way i found was to take a recon lasgun (fast firerate and no recoil) and shoot into hordes at head height, on higher difficulties u can pretty reliably run around without losing stacks between hosing down enemies
lawbringer shotgun, with manstopper and scattershot
u can basically keep marksmans focus at full for like 80% of the time ur fighting that way
spam alt shells with Deadshot while adsing for near 100% crit chance and infinite cleave
crabwalking is a meme way of finishing the penance and i wouldnt recommend it
Into horde if that wasn't obvious, lawbringer alt shells are perfect horizontal spreads and will clothesline pox horde while having insane cleave because of Manstopper
Does Onslaught have a significant impact on boss damage? I'm a little shaky on Unyielding armor type. Would it be worth brittling a boss with a columnus before swapping to melee?
https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/51
Only fix I've found (if you're on PC)
Melee will be the Rashad. I'm looking at a build similar to the one below. I team with another vet that runs Survivalist, Shredder, Shout to put things into perspective. I would be anti armor primarily:
@formal lake
is there a way to reduce darktide crashing or is it fatsharks shitty coding?
games crashed like 4 times today
I'm pretty good at cycling to melee, not perfect.
Yeah, I think I swap enough to get some value out of weapon specialist, probably not enough for Agile.
Oh, other vet also runs focus target.
Thanks! I'll give that some maelstrom runs tonight.
I've got a plasma build that has a good win rate, but it puts a bit of an ammo crunch on the party that limits a psyker that goes gun psyker on occasion.
So I wanted to branch out and had a decent columnus.
I appreciate the help!
Veterans how do we feel about the specialist weapon thingy that buffs you when you swap weapons
Its good although definitely leans more into the melee part than the ranged portion
Ideal for zarona revolver
It’s scaring you into thinking that I’d say it’s optimal to swap between them frequently, bare minimum token amount needed for 100% crits on Ranged is 3 melee kills
Anything above is more bonus fire rate
Its probably Out best keystoneb
So this One would be sick If it we're the other CS
Also the talent that gives 20% toughness on swap is huge
But on this one you dont have the necessary cleave to Trigger SS or Rampage
You want some other Form of +cleave
Usually thats wrath
I think it's really fun to use with the double barreled shotgun
Well you dont actually Take all the nodes Most of the time
I Always Run 2 i think
Dont know what they are specifically
Heavy hitter tho 
Using it is also pretty involved so i feel its fair
Ive been warming up to the Cutthroat thanks to Personality Scourge, but I kinda wish the male one was a bit less an ass
Yeah
Oh as a cadian you need to embrass the ass
Everyone else has no idea what it's like to have their planet blow up and it's your JOB to constantly remind them and whinge
Fair enough I guess
Didnt realize Cadians had such a stick up their ass, even with Cadia gone I feel like they were rather similar before the crusade
DEBT ACKNOWLEDGED
I would switch back to professional but everyone is the professional, Loose Cannon suffered from overuse and you barely hear them nowadays
a cadian that doesn't whine about cadia being blown up 12085982930193 times per mission isn't a true cadian
also female loose cannon clears every other vet voice pack
MAKE THEM SCREAM
bro got sent to The Fog
Only downside to my cadian vet
Feel bad when wearing non penance or cadian uniform
Like I love the steel legion and death korps but then they yell "FOR CADIA!"
using personality scourge every time you change outfits 
I kinda wish we got a steel legionnaire or something, a vostroyan or Valhallan Ice Warrior
Something less Bri'ish 
We do have steel legion
As a personality I think they mean
Would love to see that
"You know what would make this mission a lot easier? A karkin leman russ"
"You've said that 4 times already"
And GOD imagine a krieger
The self loathing. The unworthiness. The depression. Deliciousm
I would change from loose cannon to krieger so fast you wouldn't even be able to see me in Kral's office.
And 0 shovel jokes or ill fucking blow my brains out with a boltgun
And omfg imagine an ex commisar.
"If I were allowed to, I'd kill you for such cowardice" as a revive line.
If there were a Catachan personality, I'd imagine they'd have some neat interactions with an ex commissar personality.
"We used to frag officers for saying stuff like that."
Kriegsmen and commisars would be hilarious
Yeah, the krieger, too.
"You better not run off again like last time" "No promises are made commisar."
Really posh twat too.
Recieved pronounciation like that one female zealot
FEAR ENSURES LOYALTY
I'm can imagine the ex commissar being a combination of agitator saltzpyre and cutthroat
Amazing
They'd need to get the old DOW commissar voice actor to do the lines, if he's still alive.
Ex commisar with voice of command and a pistol sword combo
Too bad we'll probably never get new personalities
Imagine hearing fucking "They cannot withstand us!"
"Retreat... is not an option."
"The end of days is upon them!"
"Tremble before my wrath!" from a commisar
Yes
We are lucky we even got personalities
We ain’t getting new shit!
Man will yuo shurg up gugh
The only thing I need is a meltagun and I'll finally have finished darktide
It's been 2 years fatshark
Give me my fuckin melta
I imagine next big weapon update will include it
Yey
The guy who voiced the commissar in the dow games is still kicking.
One Richard Newman, 77 years old.
"You honor me"
Oh, imagine if we got the volatility that is the dow psyker voice for a psyker personality.
MY MIND FEARS A GREAT PAIN
DO YOU KNOW... WHAT YOU ASK..?
It would be so cool...
Oggy rubs off on 'em
This is why I hate playing on a controller
I can't type and thank my ogryns personally
Ogryns are the good guys of the setting
Can console players even see chat?
the dutchie got sent to brazil too 
Don’t worry I am trained to recognize signs of stroke
We will get you to a hospital sir
Get him a medicae station
I thought it was just me. 9/10 times, the ogryn player is the nicest, salt of the earth, in-character player you'd gladly fight alongside till the end. But the 1/10 times, so toxic even Nurgle would stay way
which PS do yall prefer?
i only played on playstation 1 and 2
PS2 is the goat
That is just the dichotomy of friendly characters
Tbh I feel like players end up kinda embodying their class
Zealots mostly rush in and then get shocked when the consequences of blindly rushing in come to them
Ogyrns are either really nice or really mean. No inbetween
Psykers are fucking insane. I have seen some serious clutches by them.
Unfortunately they're also made out of glass and can suddenly die just as easily.
Usually the person who dies first for me is usually a Psyker tbh. ||Or me||
And the Veterans are just normal usually
Mild or soft-spoken healing support? The players who use em will say things your Great Grandfather would shudder hearing
This as well yeah
Also something ive noticed is that like 3 out of 5 pub psykers WILL explode at least once per mission
Its kinda funny, lore accurate Guardsman experience 
Also i notice a lot of pub veterans dying quickly once they get enemies in melee range, there is a lot of variance in Vet but it somewhat balances out into a competent average
I guess I can say the same for every class, though you forgot to mention the Ogryn either get lost halfway through the map or take point the whole mission, absorbing no less than a third of my lasgun shots 
good thing allies have zero hit mass now 
Hit mass does not change my field of vision through 700 pounds of ogryn
tfw your insane hard carry 800k damage psyker just blows the fuck up and you just hear "oops 1 second left on CD" over mic
(it's me, i'm that pskyer)
I've only ever had one Ogryn be mean to me and tbh I 100% deserved being called a dumbass LOL
Everyone else has been mostly nice
There has been one really WEIRD Ogryn but he wasn't mean
Toxic players feel sorta rare but I think they've been mostly Vets
Or zealots
I can't really think of any toxic Zealots I've run into other than the one weirdo who would spawn in, speed run to the nearest Daemonhost, aggro it and disconnect to force it to attack another player
But like we just collectively killed the Daemonhost and then when he reconnected we just kicked him
No swearing or slurs in chat just gone
I agree there isnt much vocal toxicity
The rare "bro you threw uninstall" but thats about it
what a strange zel, tryna pull the old stealth and bolt tactic with rejoining is another level of work around
Usually people just leave if they get mad enough at a match
I literally had an Ogyrn join a game
And then walk backwards
back to the entrance
Despite the level requiring you to go the opposite way
He basically walked back to the Valkyrie
and I followed him because I thought there was some secret
But no. He was just confused
It was way before the Daemonhost nerf too so I can imagine 1 person aggroing, disconnecting and potentially getting 2 players killed would cause a wipe
He did save my ass when we actually started fighting tho
So y'know
Also tbf I was also a dumbass for following him despite knowing that it's also the wrong way
It was Damnation btw

Lore accurate oggy 
ya fuckin deserved that kick, bravo to your squad for dogpiling a demonhost with 3 guys 
Tbh I would want disconnects to count as deaths
But at the same time I have disconnected before
Some squads just go feral for hunting a Daemonhost and I love it when they do LOL
and reconnected to games
Because my wifi just suddenly had a heart palpation or something
A Zealot attacked a Demon Host for no reason
Like just went up and smack them
i felt so bad yesterday i fucked up a stealth thunder hammer zel's one shot on a daemonhost twice in the same mission 
I actually tried to help him but he obviously got downed
and then sucked
And I was like
Zealots are just built different. I watched a Zealot kill a Daemonhost before it could stand up very recently
"oh ok"
shotgun spread kept gettin it out of the mumbling state
Yeah but he died
to said daemonhost
I did actually try to help him tho
He was still built different. He was just built incorrectly LMFAO
Mainly by shooting the host
true
I mean ig you can kill a Daemonhost if it's like
in a troublesome area
Tbh I have had moments where I accidentally shot a daemonhost
and then had them aggro and kill me
Some people bring strong boss killing builds in and know they can kill a Daemonhost well with it
Typical Zealot build
or in the right area you can just aggro dh and scream at it so hard it falls off a cliff
I still believe the funniest way to do it is the 8 krak grenades into the torso strategy
FWEE

dwarf pfp threw me off i thought he was saying the bardin countdown 

What level should I be to start trying to roll manstopper?
Leveling a new vet for that sole purpose.
Oh nevermind I have to be level 22 to even pull it.

19 psyker 
Also youll prob just get it with unlock and loaded
Dude its literally 25 days
Go outside
Enjoy nature

Nah.
Be with your family
Grass isn't real.
Really, though, I actually forgot the item update was gonna be a thing...

Y’all know why I can’t find players?
what region are you in
Idk I’m not sure. What region is the best?
the best one is whichever is geographically closest to you. i was just asking to stall while i went to get a snack
New blitz: 4 coins
Shoot them with your bolt pistol brother
you could try swapping to the second closest region to see if that changes anything. though, if you're queueing for sedition/uprising/orthus offensive it'll be harder to find players but it shouldn't be 0
its instant queue in NA for auric randoms

Okay Europe. It was in west Asia before but now I found player by changing the region
oh yeah i think west asian servers are less populated. but also if you're playing at around 3 in the morning on a monday, yeah it'll be difficult to find players
I wish we could actually select which servers we connect to
or at least try to put everybody on the same strike team into the same morningstar instance
Hug accidentally swallow a bee. Mouf hurd.

I want to murder some players for actively getting upset at new players when they don't know what to do
I kinda wanna post the clip here but it doesn't really have enough context to it
But this lvl 30 zealot brought their ogryn friend to this heresy mission
I myself veteran brought a lvl 12 ogryn friend who had been only playing for a few hours total now
If it was Damnation I would semi-get the frustration but its the stepping stone to Damnation aka Heresy
so yeah Zealot is being a bit unhinged
Okay but this zealot goes down to a hoard of gunners and flames, which I got pushed away from cause it was a fresh hoard of bs
My ogryn is literally holding down shield unaware of this zealot who goes down at their feet cause of the absolute torrent of gunners
Only when they die from bleeding out do they say anything in voice chat asking why didn't they pick them up
I wish I clipped it cause it was so hectic I barely noticed they went down at first
First of all, you don’t pick up until it’s safe to do so. So, they shouldn’t have gone down in the first place if they wanna have an attitude. Dead ppl don’t talk.
Second, it’s a crime to full plant the ogryn shield.
Yeah I'm tryna teach my friend atm to not plant the shield as much
Heh
The same rules for the runts apply to us big folk too, we’re just a bigger target
Zealot players are truly impeccable at
running into swaves of specials
and dying immediately
But yeah I had a shouting match at this zealot player cause he just kept giving them so much flak for no reason
Is damnation just heresy on steroids?
Kind of?
They really love to complain
Havent been able to jump up yet. Been stuck on heresy, trying to get a feel for it.
Dude was running off so often they literally left their friend behind to get downed and left me with a hoard from behind
That I do have clipped
@feral granite Basically Damnation is same amount of wounds its just everything hits way fucking harder and has slightly more health, but the Damnation+ Difficulties are literally just modifiers stacked on Damnation
HISTG - Hi Intense (Double Hordes and Spawns of Trash) Shock Troop Guantlet (Double Elites and Specials iirc)
Also I know it won’t solve all the problems but just so everyone knows
It’s horde
Not hoard
Lmao. Well, one day then.
But damnation you seriously have to get yourself into a groove of dodging
adjust to heresy
when you feel like Heresy is easy
bump up
don't forget that damnation low int exists
True
so if you want to get a feel for it, do that as well
I just struggle on staying with one loadout
Test Damnation Low Int as well if you really want a feel for how it is without it being nuts
oh yeah forgot to state Max spawns on Damnation
I need
so Damnation minus additional modifiers will be as chaotic as it gets
Behold massive clip
If they had a Steel Legion one I'd actually heavily consider
When it sends
Elephant Toys Hammer of War - Death Legion 1/6 Scale Action Figure ELE9001 www.HobbyGalaxy.com
If you're on pc, just get the For the Drip mod. you can kinda make that outfit in a way
Honestly Kilgren what type of build are you after exactly
cause i could toss you something to get adjusted into Damnation
cause Builds do help massively with Diff
^^^
Thats fuckin wild.
its so damn expensive
warhammer.jpg
Do people ask difficulty 6?
yes
Imagine this mockery but since the beginning of smeltery
I balance my kits on hi5stg
stupidest kit I have is full on glass cannon, taking every damage node for ranged, so I can hunt down DHs with a red/blue stimm lol
If you like being alone you either have to have the mechanical skill to work by yourself to carry yourself
or
fucking die
Honestly, ive been switching it up between one of two loadouts. 1 has an infantry autogun w/ chainsword, 2 has plasma gun w/ chainsword.
I am a massive Plasma Gun hater
Oleg was my ogryn the fact they left their friend they were carrying is the most insane part
but I can hook you up with a good chunk of like stock infantry weapons lmao
When meltagun added in the game
those are pretty solid combinations
Lvl 13 on Heresy or Damnation?
Trying to get variants of the primaries w/ better base damage
Heresy
What level are you if i mind asking @feral granite
okay good
we can get you good shit if you're lucky then
So, out of all the wacky weapons in Brunts Armory which ones interest you
We had already been doing heresy before hand as well with lvl 12-18s so this zealot was just being an ass for no reason
Actually wait.
I was about to say if it was Damnation
man you really threw him straight into the fire didn't you
lmao
No it wasnt the infantry ag, it was the recon las with 97 base
Hey they wanted xp fast
Was testing something
It is the best way to do
If they can hold their own weight a bit thats fine by me
I guess we should boil it down to this
Ima have to check my weapon stats in a min
do you want to click on heads, delete specials, or have a good Jack of all trades/Horde Clear gun
what was the stat distribution? most people here discuss in those terms and kinda forget about base damage numbers
the base damage range is the same between each identical mark/variant,
Here I'll pull up something as an example
what matters most is having your damage score* and seeing how that scales from 0-80% when you inspect the weapon
@feral granite In here we tend to discuss a weapons modifier stats instead of their actual damage
it'll give you more information instead of just
it deals 200 damage
get yourself used to that its far more important to look there
Anyways, out of these what interests you ^
Lets say a jack of all trades. I will not however use a boltgun ever again
Boltgun is an Accustomed taste
I will give you a heads up the Bolt Pistol has a very funny
very very funny
synergy
But anyways Braceds, Infantry Auto Guns, and Recons
I would say the best to use of the two for Veteran would be the IAGs or Recons
pick your poison we'll go from there
Watch Our Message To The Darktide Community. and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
Also for context this is what it is
I'll mainly use a iag, rarely a recon.
if you get lethal proximity as a blessing it effects your grenades, effectively making you a grenadier
As much as everyone here will say just use Columnus and I mean to be fair its braindead overpowered, I'd say all of them are fun to use so its up to personal taste
Agri is the heavy hitter, slow fire variant with Cleave
Graia is a good all rounder
Columnus is like an SMG, high ROF and Recoil but it shreds everything
Got Terrifying Barrage and Raking Fire Blessing. 73% damage, 79% stopping power, +8% ranged damage to elites, 5% increased ranged crit strike chance. Agripinaa Mk I iag
It performs moderately well in some cases
grey name
Sure thing.
swap terrifying barrage to dumdum and it’ll be solid
Cause we can totally work with this
raking is actually decent
yeah exactly
Dumdum over terrifying
and you got a solid agri
terrifying effectively does nothing atm
yeah
They should rework it to being what it does already
and increased damage on suppressed enemies
So you can do a nutty combo with the increased suppression talent on veteran
alternative powderburn 
TRUE
lmao
They should probably give terrifying a more effective Suppress over like
idk man
also, cant switch it out as i think i dont have it unlocked yet
yeah unfortunate news
we need to roll you another one
But you have the right idea on what you need
aw fuck it was locked 💀
So your Dump stats on IAGs
are Stability and Mobility iirc
right?
I know Mobility is a yes
Dump Stat = make them low, they're not impactful
do i just go to the armory and buy a bunch of those rifles then?
well im not saving the gold for any reason
You should probably grind out Plasteel
and just conscencrate even shitty IAGS you get
for the blessings
lemme send you my chainsword stuff too
go ahead
you can post it yourself now
you got promoted to australian
Anyways here's my GIAG, the blessing combo is with a Talent that lets you do this
7 Views. Watch Duck and Dive + Stripped Down is Fair and Balanced and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the #1 Game Clip Platform.
seems locked
native wrath leggo
Its not the best but it works
Native Wrath you've been saved
Mk13g Wrath is literally what you need for it to be good
like at all
So you have a solid Melee
we should probably toss him a build to use in the meantime so he can get better Mats in Damnation
yeah heads up damnation is the best way to get materials
all my iag builds are memelord builds and i need to wash my ass so go ahead
I currently run the m7a recon (slow one) with the standard shovel
Alright I'll cook something stupid up
S'good with deadshot and exe
@feral granite I have one question for you, does running out of ammo bother you at all
and which keystone on Veteran do you like the most
The purple ones at the bottom
not really, if that happens i just switch to hack n slashing
i say more so in the sense of do you like being able to have ammo every so often
Survivalist Aura etc
as for those, i havent unlocked them yet on this character
Luv me survvie aura
you don’t need to unlock keystones by doing anything special. it’s just clicking on them in the talent tree (if you have enough points)
and you will have enough points since you’re level 30
ah
If youre still playing in like, an hour or two Kil i'd be happy to help out and play w ye

But yeah more so curious if you want to have the convience of Supplying yourself and your team with ammo, or another aura buff that will help
Alright. Been a while. What's hype?
estrogen
Vet baybee. Is my favorite.
Have people finally abandoned middle tree safety for once?
^ @feral granite Also here's a huge tip for when you start making your own builds
Yknow I've heard and seen as much yeah.
Oh people finally stopped being afraid of wep spec. Good.
WS is literally the best one now 
I dont think they understood that 3 ranged tokens is all you need anymore is bonus
Did it get a buff/bug fixes (if it needed any) or was it more of a people figuring it out.
like for weapons?
oh blessings
yeah same old with some weapons
Dont listen to the system
do BM + HT Taxe
taxe better on vet than other classes tbh
but they're kinda asking about the system
🤫
That's fine. Been playing a lot of hd2 and I made room for other stuff around the time I stopped playing dt. Was around the time twins got their full boss fights
🧏♂️
Fuck so you've been playing since the rise and fall then
of HD2 that is
wait you missed out on Bolt Pistol, Shock Mauls, Pickaxes, and DB Shotgun
yeah this wacky thing
its good for Crowd Control
till a boss or ogryn pulls up
and then its bad
lmao
Vet gets those?
Still unafraid of ghosts. Bring em.
Are there any new mission modifiers?
Pox Gas
I use a SI-Muni shovel and either the Middle speed ILas or the slow recon
you know the twins boss fight
Yeah
where the room fills with Gas
It's just that but random or something?
yeah that except its like the entire map every 15 seconds
its slow chipping
its not terrible
but my god the buffs it does to the enemies
I'm a freak that likes lights out so it's all good.
@spark helm This idiot also got added
Dreg Tox Bomber
He is Kill on Sight priority one
he can very well cause domino chains cause he buffs enemies and hurts you
Neat. How fast is the point of failure on aurics if they can't be dealt with?
VERY QUICK
what if that platoon of ragers was on even MORE drugs? bet you werent ready for that
There's a huge horde of specials
and he tosses a Death's head nade into them
if you aren't ready they will fucking rip you in half
I'm no auric 5 purist or anything but that's where my vet and zealot were at equipment and experience wise
Thankfully he isnt very tough and does NOT shut the hell up 
Oh he's loud and annoying
Cool. Good to know.
We got new bosses by any chance?
He's also a pussy!
i dont think ive ever not one shot him
He runs away, and plays keep away so you'll always see him in the distance
he's all unarmored
so its really easy to kill him
1k HP
On damantion
I enjoy my lasgun builds a lot.
Honestly
All quotes said by the new enemy, the Dreg Tox Bomber.
Enjoy!

Take a listen
...did smokes get buffed? :^)
I suggest it if you're getting back in so you know he spawned
WE... ARE THE TROO-LEE BLESSED
They're fucking certified veteran bangers now
They dont do damage but holy shit are they useful
throw a smoke down infront of a gunner horde or run into it
they just go
Houh..
Where they go..
Was there a change to their behavior at all or have people gotten used to using it en masse?
Hohum? We talking like aggro break, crowd control, what?
Mutants, Trappers (Have to point blank net you), and Poxbursters Still see you in smoke
Aggro break on ranged
What's up, gamers?
enemies drop shooting and engage in melee
Neat.
My favorite combo has to be Grenade tinkerer with Grenade regen
Tox bomber nades need a bit less area of effect in my opinion, but otherwise theyre about perfect in terms of irritating little bastards kek
ive got a 377 grey plasma gun but the damage is 61%
is it something i should keep?
its so damn dumb and I love it
That's good, that's real real good. Yeeeah. Alright. I'm packing a bowl and diving in soon.
Everything else decent?
GET THAT GRUTTING GUNNAH
yea lowest is 77% on the charge rate
Id give it a college try at least then
I'm open to things. I just make my own most of the time. Usually I theme it off of whatever headcanon I got for my vet.
Thinking of doing something closer to ranger vet from vt2 but this time with more feeling behind it.
alright thanks
I'll probably just run my ciag with uh...idk, knife or shovel. I got bored of ps a while ago even though I like it a lot.
Obviously you can make your build as you please but listed here is some of the more important Talents to take
Run Stand-Issue Muni shovel with... fuck is it, the rending on weakspot or whatever?
Goes hard
Uncanny
Yeah these are all ones that are typically in my heavy rotation in some way. I'm actually a huge infiltration abuser so I'll see what I'll cook up with that and warm myself up with 4s for the time being to see what's up and clean off any rust.
Aye uncanny
god damn the plasma gun is crazy
