Vet mains:
“Warning: prolonged use of Voice of Command may lead to complacency…”
Just get a reliable duo to shout with you
But 50+ is still a solid amount
But uh, does VoC function as toughness for the sake of toughness replenishment talents?
Example being 200 + 50 = 250 and regen 15% flat of that 250 from exhilarating takedown?
Literally only those small things and ES now being WORSE SG
All it needs is better ticking
There’s buffs and then there’s quality of life improvements
VOC and superiority both need nerfs
I’d rather see things adjusted to round off notable strengths
Like maybe placing superiority complex higher in the tree
VoC cd increase by 15 seconds
VOC imo shouldn’t have golden toughness
It should just be a buff that increases TDR
increase its CD
+100% tdr
Infiltrate has something similar
I don't mind them having gold toughness but they shouldn't stack on eachother and the cdr should be longer
That 50% dmg reduction is fun
and hit superior with a Surv nerf of procs every X seconds
I used to use the -90% less threat, but I like the idea of frontlining shooters
Or gunners if I am bold
I should get more gunner resist
I kinda die sometimes in embarrassing ways
I use none
FINALLY
PRAISE THE EMPEROR
MAKE IT TRIGGER WS TOO AND IT'S PERFECT
fuck it only took a year and some
free weakspot exists it’s called landing the shot
WS = Weapon Specialist if you mean me
Could’ve fooled me they both fit the “WS” acronym wise
I can finally run my double barrel executioners stance build with WS with no shame
If they make exe stance trigger WS that would be even better, but that's the kind of build I'm excited to try
I feel like combat shotties and bolt pistol are also interesting with that type of build.
SG being better ES this update as well lmao
Suppression immunity on proc
I mean marksmen focus is there also
Actually stinky
Just about the same efficiency with 15 stacks is 112.5% finesse
💀
Now here's the conundrum
SG last 12 seconds if you just sit there
Yes
But you can keep Exec for more than 12
Both theoretically can go infinitely
It’s just ES is easier to maintain
Actually hell the only downside you could manage is SG peril more so acting as a forced CD period
To me
SG vs Exec will always end up on a draw ngl
That might work as a tie breaker
That’s why it irked me
I like the idea they’re both fun for both classes
You can build some insane SG stacks with melee alone
Veteran you swap to melee it drops
The melee part oozes style of SG
Not having melee talents when you invest on the left side of the tree hurts bad
Reciprocity my beloved
Players from both classes also think that SG and Exec suck 💀
Lmfao
I’d rather they let Vet do it also or at least the idea of
When I’m forced into a melee scenario as vet
Happens a lot btw
It doesn’t drop it
So I can just quickly dome a shooter before it drops to maintain it
taking exe stance just for temp thy wrath be swift
You can whip out the +13% dodge range knife will fuck
Or the MK 5 duelling sword with its +15%
Yeah, budget twbs
I just wish infiltrate wasn’t so point hungry on the right side of the tree which is already point hungry
We need level 35 talent cap now and new difficulty
I'm running with a chainsaw as my melee weapon. I really only use it for when I have to reload or if there's a horde swarming. What are perks best suitable for that weapon? I'm at Hadron right now looking to refine it.
Right now I've got equipped 15% block efficiency (I almost never ever block), and 25% Damange (Infested enemies)
which chainsaw? there’s chainswords and chainaxes
both of them take flak damage but the second perk depends
Also, blessings are more important than perks.
that too
Don't need infested
Maniac goes hard
yeah flak gives mauler dickshot
Unarmored or Elites might be good too
so im not insane
Those pesky gunners evade my single barrel breaks point
If you want to double down on maniacs then yes
kk
thank you for verifying why I go flak on DBarrel
I tell everyone to just shoot them in the balls
it 1 shots them lmfao
but i never could give a proper explanation why
Because it already has big maniac damage
you could even go infested to extend the poxwalker clear distance but that’s more just for funny lol
kid named manstopper
Yummy
So scattershot and manstopper are solid blessings?
yes
Neat
run n gun
scattershot makes guarenteeing a crit much easier
That 12% close damage do feel kinda of good on a skirmisher build
That 8 second buff to skirmisher will make me into tf2 scout
Do you ever think there will be a sprint speed perk ever?
Even if it is 5% or so
10% mayhaps
Love that build
Shame I sent my run and gun + both barrels into oblivion just to get both barrels
Base damage increase from skirmisher is nutty on the double barrel
I just wish it had less damage falloff
I just want to use the double barrel with deadshot, run and gun, and executioners stance as a choked hunting shotgun
But the damage falloff from range hurts bad
Also full bore doesn’t proc on a super narrow spread on the double shot
woah, that'd be op, I hope they'll never put that in a talent somewhere for another class
If the buff refreshes on melee kill
It’s joever
Executioners stance will be my favourite movement build
Goodbye infiltrate
I mean, you could stab your marked target with the Helbore and it would refresh
True
It kinda should be anyway
like I find it weird they put vet tree in a way where most popular ults are both defensive and kinda boring
Infiltrate is solid front line with 50% damage reduction
Over -90% cover
Which is 100% damage reduction as your team is now baring the cross of aggro
if you take %90 aggro why would you take TDR with it
do you like unironically put 3 points into infiltrate
or do you mean you choose one or the other
new to the game, can you actually play veteran as mostly ranged with sparse melee or is ammo too tight?
i think it's this and they're just comparing
but yes
I find this discussion always funny because there are so many blatantly OP things at right tree and literally none of them are at the ultimate part of above
I do take the extra damage node though
moar damage betterer
It depends on the weapon
And the talents you will use so that you are ammo positive or don't put too much of a strain on your team resources
some things are just detrimental to shoot regardless of ammo in this game
poxwalker = toughness battery
poxbursters you can hurt teammates if you shoot near them
other than that a lot of weapons you can just shoot at gunners, specials, elites all day long and still have good ammo
I knew it
Yeah this one
I wish I was that stupid
It would be so much simpler
Agile engagement feel good to use
But damn does the +1 blitz and movement revive speed feel underwhelming
But damn does the revive and rescue speed ever do work with infiltrate
Ally netted? Brb gonna free this lad unimpeded
relatable
yeah I don't mean to say those things are weak I just thing the bottom row of the right tree has the really borked stuff
maybe its just me overreacting but you have a keystone that lets you take weapons that are balanced around having reload downtime and just... skip that downtime, lmao
Reciprocity, Desperado, Onslaught, Trench Fighter
Even the 5% on kill is nutty with the WS 20% gain on activation for both swaps
oh lawd its the shredder boys
nightmare
When the weapon is so bad you memorize its sound
Who chose shotgun when it could have been all shredders?
get your eyes checked
that's a helbore
Irrelevant. Not a shredder
its okay, he was distracted by the shirtlessness
I will neither confirm nor deny
licking that ab sweat i see
And you don't get to comment at all.
@radiant chasm
Something something a joke about how sweat helps cooling down and you're ruining it by licking something something
something something in heat something something
Im upset the sludge camo just kinda doesnt look good on that command cap, itd be a perfect cosmetic if it was in olive drab or gloamus blue
otters 🙂
What is the difference between Stopping power vs Collateral they seem to both just be stagger enemy?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH THATS SOOOO CUTEEE OJASDKF?AMSDLFKMSDFL I LOVE OTTTERSSS
They're not. Stopping power affects damage per armour type, Collateral is about stagger.
stopping power is your armor damages
for future reference, when you select a weapon in the inventory, you can press v (or whatever button it says at the bottom right) to inspect the weapon
this brings up a menu where you can hover over the stats and it breaks it down for you. the screenshot is for mobility but you can do the same thing for stopping power
yeah i know but both said weapon stagger
on the bottom
so i got confused
its true, and the other, similar black one with the goggles looks weirdly big and bloated on the female head
I wish the goggle cosmetics had an alt with them over the eyes
True
Or even one that removes the goggles from the black hat
But knowing fatshark they will be two different cosmetics
I actually like(d) Vanguard.... 😦
Stopping Power: Stagger
Collateral: Penetration
according to people its the opposite
it's the opposite
what
hence why you can dump collat if you don't care about bulwarks (or your weapon isn't capable of that anyways) but you never dump stopping power
because stopping power affects your armor adms
Oh I guess it is that
Having stopping power be low is very noticeable against scab enemies
are the scabs anti-union
is that why they’re called that?
Me
proof that picket line crossers are corrupted by chaos gods and are worthy only of cleansing by holy fire
What about the woke ragers?
dreg ragers are f2m 
cult of admonition offering free top surgery
all them vials n shit embedded in their body is nurgle testosterone
see you get it

help pls im trying to kill the twins in damnation but i am scrub big men pls help

Don't know who this Lynx person is. But literally we literally just did an unintentional duo on a pub match! ❤️
Damn i love good players...... and i need to get better myself too lol.
truly a [][][][][][][]
you did really well, you took 300 less damage than them, and did a very good amount of damage
I know, lol not to toot my own horn. But it still could have gone wrong in a few turns.
erm main character syndrome much
wowww we get how good you are
/j
Oh stop it, you're making me blush~ x3
ecksdeee!
Oh, and cus i'm here.... buff Infiltrate!
what I'd like is to not have super weird pathing on the aggro dump to the other players
Crusher doing a quick 180 spin? It do be like that.
I just want extra speed when leaving stealth. Been using it for months now, and it ain't nearly as good as VoC buuuuuut.... it has some really good uses.
And who ever told me Overwatch is good, can take a nose dive down to the darkest pits of the Warp!
Just parry the crusher. Or, do what I do and get downed then blame my teammates even though I have done nothing to help them and I have run off on my own.
You know, column a or b. Both are valid.
Hate crime against sharks
Yea I was pretty shocked to learn Stealth is actually a great utility
Especially vet stealth
Can anyone give me a talent tree for helbore? I haven't touched Vet in months and whatever I had has been reset
accatran laspistol. exhilarating takedown or confirmed kill?
Confirmed kill is the best toughness gain talent for veteran
even if i can click heads really fast with accatran?
Do u have ghost on ur laspistol
dum dum/infernus currently. thinking of switching out inferno
Definitely go for that
dum dum/ghost?
Yea that’s the best combo rn
tyvm
Maybe post-patch we’ll see concentrated fire in competition vs dum dum
deadshot or no?
I’d say go reciprocity if u feel like u need extra crit chance
But even that is optional
It depends on how much ur engaging with right branch
this is what I use for my laspistol
I don’t think u need survivalist for it most of the time
Huh interesting. I basically never build like that if i intend to use ranged and not just 80% melee
Imma try it
No crit node either?
Reciprocity
right
This build is like
60% melee 40% ranged
I don’t rly play pure ranged builds on veteran
If I wanted to play ranged build I go Psyker
On my veteran I've been struggling to find a good skill tree. I like to crowd clear with melee but shoot down elites and specialists. Just need to find a tree keeps me alive to do that and what weapons and relics to use. Any help welcome. Please DM me with ideas so we can chat one on one it's easier for me
Sure
the next morning, path wakes up in an ice bath and notices he is missing a liver
bro is cooking
I have no idea how Duelling Sword mk2’s light atk works and it’s annoying
Ok nvm I figured it out
Why does it have a light attack where u strike twice
Ok nvm it’s not strike twice it just chains stupidly fast
i actually quit trying to farm tonight
it's mental breaking to speedrun a map
only for a level 15 to launch themselves off a cliff
He’s not responded yet idk
at the finale
then you say fuck it and go to aurics only for the level 900 psyker to do the same thing
Is the weapons specialist a must have? Along with ammo refilling node?
depends on the weapon
Oppossum
Autoguns or Recon Lasgun
weapon specialist is a nice alternative to focus target and gives more melee power, but not every weapon wants or needs ammo refill extension
Graia, Columnus, VId, VIIa
I see
autoguns and recons reload manually pretty fast
I use VoC + Weapons specialist
not until the 26th. you can't swap weapons and keep your stance currently
I see
oh that ogryn node
Yeh at the bottom of middle part
Thank you. Send me a dm
I already did
Its funny cause I did Auric Damn matches with 0 intent to like get Dream team and I got 3 flawless matches in a row
istg dude its babysitting with new players when you're farming Dream Team
What are solid blessings for a chainsword? I only take the thing out if I'm saving ammo or dealing with hordes. I just want to click and carve up baddies.
Savage sweep, shred, rampage
Bloodletter is ok on mk4 for elites
weapons specialist I’d recommend
the ammo refilling node less so, unless you’re running weapons where a single shot can do a lot like the revolvers or DB shotgun
don't u just need 70~80% of a weapon's blessing pool to max its mastery
very cool
Hello, been away for a minute, is this good? https://i.gyazo.com/b9f3f99268c3ef836931d808ad202e74.jpg replace stamina and rev it up?
yeah, quite nice
Im not used to different types of chainswords, anything meaningful to know about the types?
The mk4 is considered to be the "better" of the two, you need to swing heavies with it.
The mk13 is the light spam one.
ah okay, thats the one for me then, light attacks feel better, clickity click click
one thing to note about 13g lights is that they have less cleave than mk4 heavies, so wrath is better than savage sweep for them
the stronger combo for mk13g is push attack --> (light --> heavy) loop since it has enough cleave to activate rampage/savage sweep on its own but i cba to do it
will rampage/savage sweep just not proc at all from 12 left clicks or just harder to activate?
13*
when a bunch of bruisers show up, the lights just don't have enough cleave to proc them
and anecdotally, the lights are iffy about keeping them active even when you get it started
theyre adding some blessings to several weapons and tiers 1-4 for every blessing i believe. Will inflate the blessing pools and make you need to gamble for more blessings for some weapons im sure
the entire point is that you don't need to gamble though. just play the game and get mastery to unlock them
not sure about how long itll take to level weapons up. depending on how many materials you have it might be worth it to gamble if theres a decent amount of blessings missing
Planning to go full double barrel sicko mode with this after the patch drops:
Even got one point left for which I'm not sure what to spend it on.
can pick a chest bonus for the team or toughness gen
Deadshot ?!‽
Oui
Deadshot with the DB? Sounds weird
You have it
oh yeah, WS already 100%
I thought about that, but I'm selfish hehe. No it seems a bit redundant with demo stockpile
💀
Oh fugg haha
available
Is Survivalist better or should I go with fire team to save points
does DB have built in supression immunity lke the combat shotties?
Since I want to use VoC + Krak Grenade
That's an idea!
Anyone?
Does it? @slow sky
Depends on your ammo usage and how much you spam ranged vs melee, but survivalist certainly heavily benefits the team.
It's not a requirement, i barely use it these days.
worth getting this from melk and flakiacing it?
Does it stack with other veteran Survivalist
No
if you see a 2nd vet with it, you can change your build
I see
if you want to use an mg12 yes
opening salvo is good on it
That gun is a little sus
I'll ned to test this. If it has, I think I'm gonna go with the CDR. IF not, I like determined honestly...
weapon customization mod
Hax /s
with randomization enabled. you should see how pistols look like..
go with CDR first and check how it feels with just that
but with DB you dont need executioner stance tbh
ive never had any suppression issues cuz i use it with weapon specialist
better to go with VoC
DB is quickswap king
and executioner stance
cancels if you swap a weapon
afaik
been awhile since i used it (for meme oneshots vs crusher packs)
it does
changing in the next update but yes
That's why I said after the patch
took FS long enough for this QoL
but that's great
i guess
haven't played in a few months is the vet=femboy meme still around
for +1 more free point
what's that
never heard about dis
no but i'll bring it back

I am also assuming that Exe STance will finally be triggering Weapon Specialist
which it did not last time I checked
I got an incredible amount of enjoyment upon seeing your builds on gameslantern
using your grenadier krieg build with a few adjustments atm
reminder that vet is the only way to play
people are too busy
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a4fa304-0b88-4cf8-827a-d0435327a8c3/zealot-meta-no-stealth
testing such amazingeh builds
like this one
160 likes vs 7

outnumbered
Well good luck getting all the penance points…
Penance points are for nerds and Emperor botherers anyway
Heh.
the loyalist moebian drip...
can someone link me a good veteran build plox
using autogun/recon lasgun
- power sword
I'll wait
blessed by melk?
So uh
who cares
I got a run n gun and terrifying barrage double barrel build on my WS infiltrate build
Kinda fun running into the enemy back line and blasting them
It is ultra embarrassing to go down when I do tho
Mr liability
old clip and only malice but shredder vet is so much fun
Anyone?
Uh
Play around with weapons and abilities
That’s what I do
I’m using a standard shovel with skullbreaker and take a swing with weapon specialist giving me 20% stamina and -25% stamina cost reduction on my push attacks so I can maintain take a swing all the time in a horde
Not optimal but I have fun with it
Also, does skullcrusher damage amp function as a buff for you or is it team wide?
Also does it apply to ranged weapons
it's a debuff so it should apply to everyone's attacks
Yoo
What a goated blessing
The standard shovel has a neat combo with the special into push attack
The special and push put 8 stacks with the headshot swing having a juicy hit
I know uncanny is a million times better and efficient but I like upfront damage on anything I want to fight
Except carapace
Y’all can clown me on that
So long as you do not care about it, it’s fine
You do know you can run both uncanny and skullcrusher, right?
Yeah
But I like headshot damage
Regardless if it’s dogshit
I don’t play aurics with these sub optimal builds
Just reg damnation quick plays
I just like the idea of the standard shovel having 125% bonus weakspot damage on top of its hard hitting push attack that goes hard on headshots
30% precision strikes + 10% perk + 60% blessing + 25% desperado
standard shovel is neat
If I wanted to kill things with a shovel I’d use the mk 7 with uncanny and skullcrusher for the one pop on anything
Because I am a free thinker and choose to be sub optimal
Don’t worry, I won’t be in your auric games
shovel is a comfort weapon if I am to use it I will do it in the most cozy way lol
nah dont think like that
its more fun when people bring wacky stuff
Inshallah
are the other shovels a semi-recent addition or have they always been in game and I'm just dumb
Standard shovel has always been there
The mk 3 and mk 7 are additions that have a special where you can pick axe into armor really good
I actually dont have too much experience with the fold shovels
I didn't really like them personally
the fold feels gimmicky and not as satisfying as push attack spamming on standard shovel
but I'll pick it up again for variety sake
If you don’t have an answer for carapace and you don’t like slow mobility of the power sword, the folding shovel does work
The mk 7 shovel has good horde clear with decimator and good heavies
It’s special procs skullcrusher on a 2 proc hit of the special
Thing is tho you can’t dodge out of the impale
I think
But the thing you hit is stunned/staggered
Mk3 shovel kinda got bad attack combos
Also uncanny is super redundant with the special attack
Bro already spiking the head
Thinking abt it
Uncanny would probably pop the head without being locked into the pull out damage
And probably make the pull out do more damage at 0 stacks
Same with thrust also
Idk it has options ngl
there do be options
Degenerates, the lot of you.
fr
hey guys is godwyn weapon good? kinda new to the game
Godwyn? Is that a name for a weapon?
godwyn bolt gun
bolt pistol
depends on the rolls
Ah. Well to answer, all weapons are viable, it's more about what your style is.
bolt gun is locke
cuz i hear that the boltgun is outshined by PG so i was wondering about that one
For a new player? I'd suggest an infantry lasgun or Infantry autogun as they're sort of the baseline.
If you're doing good with it, I'd say keep at it.
okok and is there a farm for plasteel and diamantine? or is just to play quickplay at the highest level i can
Honestly I have no idea. I just play matches and collect as I go. After a while you just accumliate plenty so it's not really a problem
aight bet ty
yeah that's basically it. keep an eye (and ear) out for the glowing green icons since you can hit them to earn plasteel
and you don't have to worry about spending any of it until level 30 since you won't get good base weapons until then
Very nice ty
just gotta spam quickplays
and actually farm the maps
But there’s a lot of speedrunners
And they get mad when I take too long
Or I get killed because of a hound and everyone is dropped down
- if 3 people are ahead and you are ended somewhat far behind, that's to be expected (people yelling)
- if you feel like you are always behind, that's probably because you are wasting too much time killing trash mobs or something (collecting resources?)
- you can kinda avoid all of that if you go with a Stealth build, as you can easily rejoin the team, reposition if backed into a corner or help a downed teammate.
As for farming - normal Damnation missions via Quickplay i guess is da way. As you get better at the game (and better build/weapons), your clear speed and resource collect speed will improve drastically.
then you’re usually the one being slow, speed runners are rare
the director in darktide will punish you for taking to long in an area
with more special spawns
you have to keep moving
most people are trying to get a mission done in 20-25 minutes
also always knock down idols if you can, getting all 4 on a damnation adds 200 plasteel to the pile. They're never really out of the way so they're easy nabs if you know where to look
Yes 70-80% of blessings or all t3 and t4 blessings
The important part is to match the pace of the match. If the party is overall moving through a level without trouble at speed, it's better to match that speed even if it means ignoring side paths for potential resources
If a party is struggling and trying to speed through segments they'll naturally hit the roadblock of elites and specials sandwiching them, and you'll need to be prepared to help them when they fall headfirst into the noose they've been looping around their neck at record speed
Either they'll slow down and adjust to the threats or fall and be forced to stop to let you deal with things
But always try to keep pace with the party overall
one person sprinting off is not the party overall
one person remaining behind is not the party overall
If they bite off more than they can chew don't try to swallow the mess they made all at once
It’s a fine balancing act, especially in PUGs
But in essence, play the maps enough, you start to get an innate sense of how the AI director “divides” the map mobs
And you, too, will develop a sense of when you should hold back just a little in case things get dicey
And when to push hard
Speedrunners are extremely rare on auric
mass elite is not a big deal if you have kark granade or plasmagun 
whether it's a speed bump or a road block they're there to slow you down and burn resources to get through them
there is also plan B: enter stealth im sure the party will handle it somehow
also idk about speedrunners in aurics tbh just people comfortable moving at different speeds
if you catch someone trying to be a speedrunner in an auric most times they're just unfamiliar with the difficulty and thinking faster means better so they fall on their face a lot
faster is better but only if you can handle it
Entering and leaving stealth so you can stagger everything for one second
Damn, ppl talk about keeping pace in pub games. Meanwhile on asian servers ppl just go fuck it we ball and not communicate at all
Either everyone knows what they're doing or no one knows whats going on
Entering Stealth and let them kill your psyker. Trust me guys this was a good plan at the time
so like whats the actual gameplay differences between infantry and braced autoguns
me no understand
braced guns cant ADS, but have actual penetration on bullets and the blessings can be different between these two weapon classes (like IAGs favor crit)
perfect vs hordes with mixed-in elites
like ragers and maulers
icic
Only Agripinaa mk8 has some noteworthy cleave
And still doesn’t go through melee elites
well columnus is mid, its just graia can only pierce
the trashiest of trash mobs
but its still works
Graia and Columnus have the same 1.5 cleave
U can go through a groaner and that’s it
Agripinaa mk8 is 3 cleave so you get to shoot through 1 human specialist or shotgunner
we can count the deathspitter also
so it goes at least to 2+
or not, im lazy to calc
32.5
1.98
Doesn’t reach 2+
1.98 allows u to go through like 1 shooter/stalker/poxwalker
It’s not such a huge difference compared to infantry Autoguns
Also Brautos have higher suppression value
Poxwalker is 1.5
Need 3+ to cleave through 2
Wait I might be remembering wrong
Got it mixed up with shooters & stalkers mb
Right, bring like a Helbore for single target and Brauto for horde, only picks ammo for brauto
Aw, I was about to bring 2 shotguns

Agri braced + deathspitter + fire frenzy + warp charges psyker. I feel it already.
Warp Splitting
Up to 100% Cleave, based on Peril.
Hmmmmmm
Yeah unspecified
Exec weapon specialist viable then?
Agri brauto going 6 cleave does put a smile on my face
You'd probably have to swap to your ranged to proc WS then use Exec
new scryers modifier also makes staff scryer not insanely wack
🙏🏼
But yeah
You can wallhax and get rid of ranged enemies while also going hard on melee
The hybrid class is even more hybrid
i feel like i run out of ammo so often on vet
im normally a soyker player
having an ammo limit feelsbad
I'm craving for the new SG ngl
its gonna be so much fun
If you just shoot to eliminate elites and specialists it's fine
ive tried so hard to make staff scryer work
see im also shooting to control shooters
but
idk if thats what i should be doing
😭
also do you guys run keystoneless ever
i only know how to talent for psyker i dont know shit on how to build a vet
Nah I still wouldn’t
so hard to sacrifice stealth tbh, makes objectives a solo breeze
Keystoneless is only ever worth for recon lasgun
Mainly because recon just has bad scaling with them
im still using WS for attack speed melee boost
15% is 15%
even tho ranged bonus is half-useless (can at least insta-max infernus stacks)
Using shock maul and laspistol on a weapon spec build and holy crap this feels so good to use.
is marksman focus actually good
Think disrupt destiny but it only works for ur gun
Yes, but it's sort of hard to maintain.
Unless you're using something that wouldn't benefit from it much, like a ciag or recon.
it just seems like keeping it up would be ammo hungy
Depends
yeah i did that for months and it was fine, now i am trying to uber optimize
Depends on whether or not you're running shock trooper or survivalist.
You kind of have to have good ammo economy to make good use of the keystone.
It already works it’s just kinda weird to play
yeah thats what i mean
very akward
awkward even
What guns are u mainly using
columnus infantry auto
but i think im gonna try out the boltpistol
like touching something very hot
I’d wait for update honestly
i think its just cause my roll is shit so it takes so many bullets to kill things
There's nothing wrong with that.
Boltpistol grenadier is top 5 build on veteran but needs specific roll stuff
it's like you
lethal proximity with shredder frags right?
are at max peril with less than 10 shards
Throw one only when you have true aim racked up.
Yea but u also need perks to get 1 tap breakpoints on gunner & flamer
And kind of Run&gun to make it feel good to play
i wish i had a better visual indicator
It's my personal must have when playing with the Aiag
Get crit chance, dum dum + deathspitter if possible
Also get crit chance talents (except deadshot)
this is what i was running
with aiag
idk if its good or not 😭
I’d suggest several tweaks
Start off with confirmed kill instead of volley adept
whats the meta veteran build right now?
Zarona revolver + Rashad combat axe
Get lucky
Or wait for the crafting update that’s coming in 12 days
get lucky from emporer?
last veteran build on youtube were like 7 months ago
Craft weapons urself
so looking fore high stats and good traits to begin with?
U need specific blessings for most weapons
That are RNG dependent as of now
youtube builds are kinda bad tbh
I hate that I like the headhunter auto gun, I should force myself to use the hellbore lasgun
Just realized all the good vets I saw were randomly posted here in a convo
And never recorded anywhere lol
"Zelly thinks he's on the team"
I’m using a hellbore without the deathcorps outfit, I’m not even on the team☠️
England.
what perks would i use for the zarona and the rashad combat axe?
Crucian/Surgical + Handcannon
what does that mean
Zarona elite + maniac
Rashad unarmored + carapace
You don't take crucian on the zarona.
have you got a screen shot of the entire 30 perk build at all ?
Oh you mean talents.
Those are called talents
yes sorry kinda newish
It's ok.
I literally just got off my pc but you want to do something with weapon specialist as your keystone.
The only auxiliary node you want to take is always prepared.
stick entirely to the right side yeah?
Ehh
No, not necessarily.
You can mix and match from either side
could anyone help build one and show me to copy please?
You can go kraks > kill team > voc > weapon spec.
i do like the flak grenade
Those help out
Put last point into whatever u like
thanks mate
There’s no flak grenade
There’s frag & krak
Kraks are the sticky ones.
yeah thats the one i like
Put the last point into reciprocity
I would put the last point on this into rending strikes or reciprocity.
Meant to turn the ping off, sorry.
On an axe & revolver build, rending strikes is not necessary most of the time
Actually yeah that's valid. Reciprocity it is, then.
how much is reciprocity doing for surgical zarona or rashad here
When ur debating comp urge as a luxury point u probably can grab better things
Other choices are field improv, deadshot, or the ammo one on the left.
It’s not “bad” it’s just “whatever I guess” a lot of the time
Mid
Max critical bonus zarona is what, 21%?
Yea
And vet has... 5% base?
what about 25 percent ammo for the extra skill point?
Trying to figure out how much value you'd get out of deadshot.
Not bad, u can go for it
It’s up to preference at this point
thanks fellas
Competitive Urge is hadron gambling but during missions
Roll well and you have near permanent 20% damage buff
Roll bad and u waste a talent point
Only ur allies’ kills can trigger it
and THAT’S WHAT WE’RE ALL ABOUT WOOOOOOOOOO
ah fuck where’d all my dockets go
Ok nvm
U need to count on ur teammates to kill stuff for it to work in your favour
Literally worthless with my manstopper DB
Which is why it’s like hadron gambling
If u end a game with ~600k damage while everybody else is ~300k you pretty much murdered yourself out of Comp Urge uptime
If it had a more reasonable proc condition it’d be fine
It would be great if it could benefit from your kills, or at least had like a stacking % chance to proc.
Cool concept on paper but it’s just sorta inconsistent
So in theory (and if I'm lucky) if I have a decent soulblaze psyker on my team.......
Interesting
Theoretically works if you’re purposefully not killing enemies set on Soulblaze and play in duos
Practically doesn’t usually work out because Psyker Soulblaze’s visual effect is like exe stance highlight on steroids
suffering from success.png
I have never had as many inputs eaten as I have in the past week
like sometimes a whole second or longer of weapon swaps or heavy melee attacks gone
hit detection is also complete ass right now
2 meters away from enemies and my laspistol misses rager body shots
goes straight through them
Depends on the weapon but still S tier
went from SSS+ tier to S+ tier
It's still really good. Just no longer let you play entire maps without picking up some ammo pick ups
And you won't be silently judged for not running it
Outside of a few weapons & builds, it’s no longer a necessary inclusion
Still better to run most of the time as the other 2 auras Vet has don't give any real insane value outside of some extremely rare breakpoints with fire team meager 5% damage bump
yeh I've been running movement
I guess better access to the right side of Vet's tree without getting to heavily taxed
i really like the 10% movement speed on a 80% mobility combat blade
crackhead speed
Mostly shine on ammo eater weapons like bolter, braced AG, Infantry AG, Bolt pistol aside from those weapons its not so necesary
For las weapons you have shock trooper perk
Any advice to complete 250 kills with crit/weak spot using weapon specialist keystone penance?
High crit weapons like knife or just get 3 stacks of ranged and use revolver
Not really. Play Auric missions for more Elite and Specialist spawns. Use weapons with high natural crit rates like the Revolver and shoot heads
Does melee kill also count?
knife revolver
or knife braced
i've been doin damnatio/auric/maelstrom but i kill a lot but the count only count like 3-5
I've been doing knife braced
the crit only counts on activation
so you gain enough keystone stack, switch weapon and start critting
wdym?
I was getting about 40-60 per match when I doing it. Revolver does a lot since it can cleanly 1 tap shit letting you get a bit more milage from Range specialist
that's the only way that counts
the crits kills only count when you activate the keystone ability
so normal crits while only using knife don't count
now i get it 🤔
you need to kill w/ ranged, close in and start stabbing
Thanks
so thats why didnt count the kill with lucius 🤔
It has to during the short window the buff is active
yeh
The revolver is generally great because it's quick to pull out and fire
Slower weapons will make the challenge harder for no reason
And if you don't care for getting Melee specialist kills. Equip a good horde clear melee like the Power sword to quickly get Range specialist stacks whenever you see a Elite and/or specialist. Switch the revolver and pop some skulls
Focus down elites and specialists you can 1 tap consistently to squeeze out as many kills you can during the short window the buff is active.
big projectile, quick swap, small aim cone, no sway etc etc
This is good, right? 
Yes it's good
yeah, I don't like that bayonet attack either
whoever thought that a downward slash is how you use a bayonet?
It's ok, after the 26th you'll be able to change the model. No more icky bayonet attack!
noice
In the 41st Millenium,
it's worse to run most of the time because the other auras have better pathing and most builds just don't need it
wait really
i know this is like an hour later but
how tf do you not run out of ammo without it
use your melee weapon against poxwalkers
I run several fairly ammo intensive builds without survivalist
Never go into orange
might just be aim skill issue and or bad weap rolls
since it takes more shots to kill when you have garbage guns
What gun are you using
Yeah you don’t really shoot at trash with that
when i say ranged enemies i mean ranged enemies across the room
id rather just walk up and stab them
I don’t shoot at trash with anything with a reserve lower than like 200 unless I need to
for bolt pistol onetaps it's more about having maniac and elite/unarmored perks
I just run at ranged trash and stab them
do you not take flak on it
am i insane
i have maniac/flak on mine
also thought you needed puncture to hit certain bps?
i mean if you want to oneshot dreg gunners you need elite or unarmored. scab gunners already die
and puncture is only needed if you don't run many ranged damage boost talents
My bistol build is left tree
yeah i take left as well
if you're picking up focus target or something you won't need puncture
And can onetap a crusher with 10 stacks MF and exe stance
does that include executioner's stance? because you don't even need perks for onetaps with that and it'd just be an aim issue
yeah i take stance
i mean outside of it
it onetaps almost everything in it
outside of carapace and like.. mutants
will probably put elite on it instead of flak
Learn material spawns
No, but it boosts monster damage a lot
well the other option going into the +5% dmg aura isnt very good so
guess ill just take it
not a bad thing to have
so like would this be good for boltpistol then
I would swap the highlight shooters to highlight ogryns and the 15 stacks to generate while still/crouching
Also swap ogryn damage for rending
I wouldn’t tbh
what's the dump on plasma gun
How broken would run and gun be if there was a 0.5 window after running
just got Gets Hot IV
I just want the double barrel right click to have that close damage
Also I wish there was a reload while sprinting talent or blessing
I just want to be scout from tf2 and have a even moreso movement shooter
Or even to get close damage on slides too
does rn n gun not include that
or am I hallucinating
it does in payday 2 but not darktide
Full Sprint Backwards just because
Recon Lasguns the slow high damage one or low fast one or the medium?
The slow one has the advantage to not drain your ammo so quickly... which is great!!
But its alot worse for horde clear
Mhmm i wanted to go for the medium one but the medium one randomly has just 200 less total ammo
if you care about horde clear just get the 7a cause it has a bit of cleave
Oooh thats the high damage one then thanks for the info
Well i care about both but horde clear is kinda nice to have on a gun
using the fast one now and it does really well with that
but thats just a random one i found
Maybe don’t rely on a gun for horde clear
I already have a melee focussed vet build
i want a ranged focussed vet build
And thus rely on a gun to horde clear
also lots of guns that are great at that
Do urself a favor and just play Psyker at that point
DO yourself a favor and let people play the game how they want to play
God the game would be so disorienting
also i have all 3 all max level
U can try recon lasgun magdump vs horde but u will need a lot of ammo
Ur so real for that
Variety is the spice of life
and the beauty of this game is making your builds and see if you can get them to work
TRUE
i mean with the ammoboost i have a 1000 ammo
ill be fine
I LOVE BUILDS AND GIMMICKS TO ORIENT ON!!!
