Carapace helps you do funny crusher 1-shots

#

Vld is fun but i need a new gun

#

any recommends here

#

mostly for horde clearing

#

big magazine would be nice as well

trim steppe
#

it has 3 penetration so you can blast it into hordes or groups of brutes/shooters and decimate

modern fern
#

yeah i got one with a 44 mag

#

i know the vlla has cleave but i have a small mag size

#

got a good columnus mk5 too

crude citrus
#

horde clearing with guns 😭

modern fern
crude citrus
#

thats a barelling

#

mixed horde clearing is fine with guns but if youre shooting into poxwalkers with em

#

ure gonna take up all the ammo

modern fern
#

ammo muncher is here to kill heretics and eat bullets and im out of bullets

trim steppe
# modern fern

change the columnus perk from weak spot damage to maniac. weak spot damage is a bad perk fyi

crude citrus
#

and be less effective than a psword

trim steppe
#

the columnus infantry is a really good gun but if your goal is shooting multiple targets go with the agri braced. The columnus has basically no penetration while the agri braced can hit 3 targets every bullet

modern fern
#

ahahha

trim steppe
modern fern
#

i dont have it and im broke

#

spare ammo plz

trim steppe
#

Well keep BM4 and Unyeilding 4, those are both amazing

modern fern
#

nvm i have one on t3

trim steppe
#

T3 better than any other blessing so you might as well

modern fern
#

yeah i got bm4 and pc3 now

#

should rework my talents cuz i was mainly use vlla/ weapon specialist

#

power t3 i get 2 hit or 3 ?

#

nvm

crude citrus
#

modern fern
#

let go gambling for t4

crude citrus
#

wait 10 days

red robin
#

it's solid, alot of decent blessings

crude citrus
#

i have spent hundreds of thousands of plasteel and millions of dockets to get t4

#

made two vets

#

hundreds of hours

modern fern
#

i have no plasteel

red robin
#

start grinding

modern fern
#

AHAHAH

red robin

ik

crude citrus
#

its literally 95% of the way there

#

you have no clue how much that 5% unyielding and t3 bm hurt me

red robin

#

well im stuck with the unyielding damage

red robin
#

what i have

crude citrus
modern fern
red robin
#

it is

modern fern
#

bruh

red robin
#

3% weakspot and 5% unyielding is crumbs more damaging

crude citrus
#

Yeah its already perfect from a practical perspective but i want it to be the emperors own sword

red robin
#

got this one

#

rip the ammo

#

been tryin to grind for t4 blessings by doing green to blue upgrades any tips?

crude citrus
#

if youre grinding for t4s upgrade 360+

#

I also believe purple > orange upgrades have a higher chance to yield t4s

#

but obviously more plasteel intensive so green > blue is probably more optimal overall

#

or just wait 10 days

#

wrinting t4s engages my eve brain..

trim steppe
#

The other thing to do is look at Melk's shop every day and pick up any T4s you see in there, most of the weapons are junk but its the best place to find T4s

weary tundra
#

Thanks didnt know that tier was taken into account as well

tall torrent
#

better chance

#

but in 10 days the system changes so u don't have to spend all ur resources rn

shadow dagger
#

is performance worse than it was a few weeks ago

#

im feeling frame drops a lot more often

#

havent played in a month or so

meager topaz
#

I wonder if this will be perfect once the new update hits

#

XD. They better not do that

#

well lets see if fatshark will be fitshark come this 26th

#

hopefully it will replace the one I have

narrow pawn
#

How do i get that for the emperor 1 grenade penance

#

If dont seem to work

#

one the sand missions there's a part where you bring batteries to the center to stop a fan, the platform above has good distance from a horde spawn

tame lodge

covers monsters, chaf, maniacs and everything

rigid pilot
#

I agree though, weakspot is the best

#

Especially for beast of nurgle

#

The head counts as weakspot too chadgryn

red robin
#

cannot wait for crafting update so I can use weakspot and critical damage perks on my 80/80/80 finesse, first target, penetration knife

radiant linden
#

did they actually fixed crit dmg?

rigid pilot
#

It's working as intended

radiant linden
#

crit dmg x 10%?

earnest bone
radiant linden
#

or dmg x 10% +crit dmg

#

crit dmg x 10% is dogshite

rigid pilot
#

Tell fatshark

earnest bone
#

and it (cdmg) also only applied to first target hit

#

right

radiant linden
#

lets say you crit 70

#

x 10% is

#

70 + 7

rigid pilot
#

They don't even need to change their damage formulas, just bump it up to 25% crit damage and it's actually a choice on some weapons

radiant linden
#

for 25% you get 17.5 crit dmg buff

#

so you get 70+17.5 = 87.5

#

so might as well use crit chance for higher output

#

if they actually fixed it, it would be

#

crit dmg + weapon dmg x 25%

#

but FS code is using crit dmg x 25%

shadow dagger
#

im getting blamed by a psyker with a melee bounty for using weapons specialist

#

quickplay shenaniganery is ever present i guess

earnest bone
#

im running wep specialist only (in all builds) and never saw anyone mentioning it

#

must be someone with insider info

shadow dagger
#

as in they made a conversational complaint about melee bounties when the map started and got mad close to halfway through when he noticed i was shooting things at close range

earnest bone
#

dont like - reroll, the option is there tho, but for melee bounties you can use knife or DSword on Pusker and be fine

#

but people just like to complain

shadow dagger
#

catch me being okay with melk giving me a 1k dreg ranged bounty on my oggy when i still dont have a good achlys yet

#

he loves giving me 1k ranged for some reason

crude citrus
#

ive never paid attention to bounties and i still complete all of them on all chars

#

if you play the game they just complete themselves

earnest bone
#

Bounties are done within 1-4 (at worst) games

#

aside from

#

16 grimms/books

#

this garbage should be toned down

crude citrus
#

you are assuming i dont pick up grims

earnest bone
#

to 8 at max

crude citrus
#

which would be hereteical

earnest bone
#

even if you play Scriptures only

#

its 6 matches

#

and that's boldly assuming two other people will carry a book too

shadow dagger
#

ive went like 6 games with only 200 dreg ranged at one point, no scab maelstroms or nothing

earnest bone
#

which often they are not willing to do

shadow dagger
#

just auric qp

#

i guess i just queued into too many zealots or something

crude citrus

i had a game yday of damnation hi int where ppl wouldnt pick up the 2nd grim

cuz they were like level 30-40

they wiped and i soloed a chaos spawn

some guy silently picked it up afterwards

#

was great

first game after my break and i instinctively queued into auric mael

that was... a warmup game

made it most of the way through too

Can't wait for the update. Won't be playing before it drops.

#

difficulty 6 when

#

I am a little worried about the new update though

#

not just because power creep but the new crafting system seems to force you to use grey weapons assuming you didnt already have blessings

#

unless I am misunderstanding

#

which means the grind whenever a new weapon comes out is gonna be like sm2 which I hope isnt the case

last parcel
pastel yew
#

I thought the new mastery system would completely wipe the old system out

#

meaning the new weaponj release = grinding with that weapon despite not having anything cool

#

whereas the current system allows you to just craft a good weapon out of the gate if you have some plasteel

#

if you're spending 1 mil your standards are way way way too high

#

the grind to get a weapon that is strong is very small, the grind to get a weapon that is perfect is huge and its a marginal amount of strength increase

#

. . .?

#

good weapons that are easy to acquire are significantly stronger than grey weapons

#

perfected weapons are infrequently noticeably stronger than good weapons

#

you're forcing grind onto yourself for no reason

#

like I dont see the point

#

eh I mean there are always other weapons I want to try

smoky sparrow
#

the difference of a 300 weapon and a 380 weapon is marginal

pastel yew
#

but that wasnt your original point

#

well I guess if you want perfected rolls KEKW

#

but idk I'm happy with good, there's no difficulty that demands even good weapons currently

pastel yew
#

but often times the mid points can be as strong as max strength depending on stat rolls

#

normally I have to craft 15-20 max before I have 2-3 weapons I can test build

#

to see what I get

#

mhm, I do sorta hate that level of forcing difficulty though since

#

it removes complexity from the game

#

no creating weapons to fill roles, no build to specialise

#

they've acknowledged people are unhappy about the difficulty but we'll see how long it takes for them to bring the game back to a point where auric damnation is the normal difficulty

#

I think most people that have a fair bit of time in the game or play regularly think the games too easy

#

even friends I've gotten into the game and spedrun through levels 1-30 with xp curios werent struggling on auric 4

#

and thats as almost completely new players

#

I think casual players view nerfs like its gonna helldivers the game though

#

why nerf.. buff everything

#

think that mentality is pretty easily shown to be silly though

#

I mean my friends have the advantage of being shown the game by me I suppose since I can directly answer any questions, give build advice, show how to dodge specific things

#

so they don't have to go through the trial and error

#

which speeds things up

#

I think most darktide players are just casual players though

frank ether
#

the only difficulty factors in this game are teammates and game performance

pastel yew
#

just support them as best you can

#

if you need a team mate do something 50/50 chance it wont happen

I've only had the barrel one once

probably one of the worst games I've played

#

they did nothing

#

You can pretend like you're gods gift to gayming but you'll make a mistake or the game will fail an audio que and there goes your run because your teammates couldn't tie a shoe to save their life

get to next session they blow me off of the map xd

#

instant loss

frank ether
#

but the thing is

pastel yew
#

I've never had fail audio cues though

#

unless they were on a door directly

frank ether
#

expecting %100 winrate is a weird kink anyway

#

I see some people obsessing with that

pastel yew
#

ideally winrate would be like 70-80% for 4 skilled players in auric damnation

#

but right now its more like that with 1 skilled player or higher

frank ether
pastel yew
#

true have you ever played a game with only good players?

pastel yew
#

?

#

every time I get hit by something I recognise that I've heard it and regret not reacting fast enough

#

its a skill issue when I fail not a bug issue

frank ether
#

Most specials have ques for spawning let alone attacking you

pastel yew
#

they have movement sounds though

frank ether
#

among other ques

pastel yew
#

all of them

#

the crackling, the claws tapping

#

if you've got headphones on you can almost always tell theres one near you without a spawn sound or an attack sound

frank ether
#

I could pile you under a mountain of ''evidence'' of audio shitting itself

#

but its been 2 years

pastel yew
#

no like

since they can spawn and insta det

frank ether
#

dogs quite often skip the howl(the one that plays when they spawn) entirely and can go from sprint to 180 turn pounce in like a single frame

#

I don't really see the need to complain about it because honestly the game has become really easy

#

we are very overpowered and just the tiniest amount of coordination nulls mistakes against specialists

pastel yew
#

the pounces are bugged as fuck for real

#

though it only seems to happen on corners or at the top of stair cases

odd sparrow
#

Nah it would be nice if it was better. vermintide has way more consistent special spawns that dont feel scummy. Atleast from what ive played of it

pastel yew
#

where they'll reach that turn or different elevation and pounce without wind up

#

idk audio to me isn't just

#

"HELLO I AM ENTERING THE MAP"

#

it's everything

#

I can get people not wearing headphones missing the crackle of trappers, or the tapping of dog claws etc

but those are valid things to expect someone to hear with headphones in

is there a weapon tier list for vet?

lavish owl

did i need a character

#

Boltgun is listed as great, i thought it was considered as a meh weapon

tame lodge
#

Only the aiming part

lavish owl
#

i did not no it

tame lodge
#

Otherwise bolter is a very solid weapon

#

Just aiming and swapping are meh

#

And probably reload time

#

Good damage
Good cleave
Good stagger
Good suppression

toxic leaf
#

if zarona or plasma didnt exist, boltgun would be considered S tier, it is objectively a very good weapon taht suits a very important niche of specialist killing from range

#

its just outclassed by those two right now because those two are way overtuned

grand perch
#

I like the bolter but I've always been annoyed by mutants and doggos resistance to it

thick kestrel
#

lean into those guns if you REALLY feel like you need them (the columnus is kind of in that camp as well) but don't feel like you MUST use them. there's plenty of viable options for strong loadouts and if you're willing to put in the practice you'll out preform randoms just slavishly using the meta picks.

toxic leaf
#

yep, other than the really weird sway issue that has been acknowledged, i consider the bolter to be a perfectly balanced weapon -- it is very strong at what it does but has obvious downsides (reload, ready speed). and some of those downsides, the veteran tree can accommodate (reload speed)

unborn moss
#

the bolts going through lims hitbox is gonna be really nice

thick kestrel
#

it's good solid Dakka and has a couple of unique tricks which you can lean into.

sometimes just magdumping a bolter is both the correct AND fun thing to do :>

toxic leaf
#

and it is the best feeling other than pressing F on gunlugger and shooting

the answer is always dakka

no reload talent, i would drop born leader to for the emperor, then either take bring it down or exhilarating or field improv (if you dont have that)

#

not sure if bring it down affects ttks on plasma though

for crushers and bulwarks and reapers

unborn moss
#

toxic leaf
#

field improv is low key massive if you get grouped with nade zealots or frag ogryn

unborn moss
#

yeah I really like it

#

think I probably still want reload with bolter because of magsize

#

hello i need person tht will teach me the game

toxic leaf
#

oh i was under the impression plasma knife meant plasma gun

unborn moss
#

I usually run plasma gun and knife/ps yea

toxic leaf
#

you dont need the melee nodes with ps, not sure about knife as i am not a knife enjoyer

unborn moss
#

I think its too much crit chance to give up with knife but I don tusually use them with ps

toxic leaf
#

you'll want to test if you need precision strikes with bolter

#

id strongly recommend suppress immunity with bolter too

unborn moss
#

might not unless the lvl 3 impact messes up any breakpoints

idle swallow
#

running around with marksman focus mk2 laspistol hipfire blasting everything like han solo was surprisingly effective

should i do the marksman ability modifier node or focused fire node

which one would be more damage

#

Waiting on proper subclasses

radiant chasm
#

we do have proper subclasses

#

they are just extended into a tree so we can mix and match

winter pilot
#

i wish you could equip 2 melees or 2 ranged

#

it would throw off the ballance so bad but it would be fun

#

it worked in vermintide

radiant chasm
#

marksman has more potential damage but focused fire is way easier to use, works with every gun, and doesn't require a playstyle adjustment

#

it wouldn't work in darktide lol

#

darktide is much closer to a 50/50 ranged/melee split

dual range would be useless and end up getting wrecked by any substantial melee swarm

and double melee would be completely useless against snipers, bombers, and any ranged enemies camping unreachable spots, zealot and ogryn could barely pull it off with throwing knives and rocks respectively but imo it shouldn't be encouraged

final locust

would be awesome

grand perch
# unborn moss what would you chance

so first off, i would save the 2 points leading to volley adapt. while bolter/plasma is one of the few weapons that somewhat profit from the reload speed, its not impactful enough to be worth the 2 points. since longshot was nerfed (ie more range needed for the same damage buff), it is generally not worth taking either. with these 2 points freed up, definitely grab demolition stockpile if you havent (cant tell from your screenshots). if you already have it, grab grenade tinkerer.
born leader is good on plasma with gloryhunter, but if you dont use that blessing, go for the emperor instead
competitive urge is very rarely worth it, take bring it down instead and add rending strikes if you have points left.
if you use powersword, save 3 points on the right leading to desperado and invest into demolition team, grenade tinkerer (if you havent already), target down!, marksmans or possibly field improvisation (choose to your liking)
with knife, i guess the 3 points on the lower right are ok, but without serrated edge, mercy killer and agile engagement, i myself would prefer rashad axe anyway.

For now I mean

tame lodge
#

Since you specified versus horde

toxic leaf
#

yea you take bromomentum and then unarmoured to at least 1 tap dreg bruisers

gentle maple
#

According to the guide I should go for unyielding, cara, or unarmoured. not sure why not the usual flak/elite?

tame lodge
#

Sprint for unarmored

#

Unarmored for bruiser breakpoints

toxic leaf
gentle maple
#

ah gotcha

toxic leaf
#

unarmoured also lets you head swing at gunner elites and shotgunners

#

one version or the other

#

like i have 80/77~s on everything but finesse (71) for my rashad and i hite 673/675 on the flak armored bruiser

#

kind of annoying but they die with one headtaker buff up, which is on-demand and not conditional

gentle maple
#

oh maybe this one's better?

toxic leaf
#

take into the training area and see if you head swipe the bruiser

#

with unarmored

gentle maple
#

will do

toxic leaf
#

and 1 headtaker buff should let you head swipe the flak armored one. and if these are true, that is a good axe to use

#

bromomentum necessary

gentle maple
#

honestly I don't think I notice any difference 😄 they both chop the heads of most enemies that aren't elites

#

think i'll start out with the one i have equipped. thanks!

toxic leaf
#

as long as they chop heads off bruisers with lights, you wont notice anything else and they are elite weapons that way

by far the strongest vet melee option imo
