I could swear someone came in here and said that the difference between 60% and 80% charge rate is only 0.07 seconds per shot which is imperceptible and does not meaningfully affect gameplay
It's what the Omnissiah gave me
for uncharged shot spamming
U can roll another that’ll hit breakpoints easily
It’s 0.1s
Between 60% and 80%
Which doesn’t sound like a lot
So what would you want me to hit 80% on for a plasma?
if it was your weapon
Perfect roll is 80% damage, 80% stopping power, 80% ammo, 69% thermal resist and 71% charge rate
so you could dump stat ammo then? but ouch
So Damage, Stopping Power, Ammo
Nah
It just doesn’t have a dump stat
What does Stopping Power actually do? I assumed it was knockback
Armor damage
oh ffs
you can inspect weapon
what's the difference between 60% charge rate and 71% charge rate if it's 0.1 between 60% and 80%
and mouse over to see what all the stat bars do
Off to Brunt's RNG mines I go
is that just getting you 0.05 better rate of fire
because that sounds really nit picky
it doesn't really seem like it's changing gameplay meaningfully
93.0rpm (71% charge rate)
85.7rpm (60% charge rate)
That’s an 8.5% attack speed difference
It’s noticeable
for optimizing sure, for average gameplay is it really going to make or break
Directly impacts how the gun feels
Yea I said perfect roll
It’s the hardest weapon to perfect roll in the game rn
the fire rate is impacted more by heat cap anyway
Which 69% thermal resist solves
wouldn't it be better to get something like focused cooling too
U can fire 8 continuous
Below 69% u have only 7
This is why charge rate optimal is that bizarre 71%
if you crit every shot what's the max number of shots with focused cooling you could potentially get before heat cap? 
Above 69% thermal does nothing
It wouldn’t matter because rising heat is just better
And the cooling blessings are not worth
but it's clown science time
is rising heat helping hit breakpoints you couldn't hit otherwise? I thought you could run Gloryhunter before
Yes
Because it’s +strength so it’s multiplicative to damage
because you said it's not a boss damage weapon so idk why the extra damage is important
ah ok
And allows u to 1 tap gunners & flamers without FT/redirect fire
So it’s higher consistency value
wouldn't you just run FT/RF to cover that breakpoint anyway?
And easy to maintain
or is this to open up to using weapon specialist keystone instead?
Gloryhunter is still fine
This opens up WS yes
But I don’t like WS plasma
I can't imagine Marksman's Focus would be a good alternative for Plasma
The firerate variation throws me off
feels very memey LOL
doesn't WS Plasma give you better fire rate
because of the ranged attack speed bonus?
I’m used to tracking with that pre-fire delay and if the delay changes I’m not used to it
I’m cooking up recon build rn
I’m giving up on plasma
Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone
Too hard to perfect roll
Compared to literally everything else
And there’re just easier builds to play
Recon is so fun and it's wild how the tiny tweaks pushed them to be so strong
I’m considering XIV rn
Exe stance XIV
Trying to replicate that psyker EK m1 build
And XIV can spray at horde with its 3 cleave
lemme know how it goes once you've finished the build! the XIV is fun for spraying through hordes to mulch ragers hiding in the crowd
I noticed XII having notably worse ammo efficiency than XIV
But exe stance build can’t rly afford melee talents and idk how to feel abt that
Yeah the XII is just too ammo thirsty unless you're building all in on crit chance
It really needs Shock Trooper and crit chance to carry it into passable ammo efficiency
I run 5% crit chance perk & talent, plus opening salvo +10% for first 20% of mag
So 27% crit chance for the first 20% mag, 17% after
No Reciprocity or Headhunter and it drinks ammo fast
Tbh you could probably make Deadshot work on the Recon Mk XIV or Recon Mk VIc
their fire rates are slow enough to make it controllable
it just ends up being a juggling act though
theres some sort of math that 1% of crit is 1% ammo saved due to shock troop
I’d use Killzone before I use deadshot
with Target Down or Duck and Dive it's much easier to play with but that's fair
That translates to 42.5% crit rate for first 20% of mag, 29% crit rate for the rest
it's extra risky watching another resource during fights and if you mistime it you're vulnerable when you need stam the most
I also don’t know if I’m a fan of not having ghost to tank shooters on a sharpshooter build
I saw some vids of ChocoB running their Recon Mk VId/Recon Mk XII with Standard Sapper Shovel because of the special attack push for slapping Poxwalkers away
what should i run on my knife for a XII crit build
you could do the meme of Stripped Down + Duck and Dive for infinite ranged attack dodge LOL
ft and mercy for blessings?
but then during firefights it just sorta feels like a repositioning tool
Nah, dum dum + deathspitter is the way
Uncanny + Executor, Precognition, Mercy Killer (with Serrated Blade) or Flesh Tearer I think are the generally good choices?
I usually run Executor
but I've seen others swear by the other options
Brunt is such a cursed person
dont have points for the talent
i think ima run mercy and flesh tearer and see how i goes
ignore Mercy Killer then
oh?
No, u won’t have points to grab serrated blade
it really needs the consistent bleed and it's too chaotic relying on it for breakpoints against threats like Crushers when you're banking on the first strike being a crit to proc the bleed off of Flesh Tearer
I actually don’t use uncanny on knife anymore
very feast or famine
It somehow just works
Well at least it has 80% in Damage, Stopping Power and Ammo
riposte goated
the weird moment when Tanner was right
on like
one thing
LOL
He’s still not right
It’s just that
U can sort of cope with not having uncanny
him recommending plasma for horde clear was very funny
Hey @tall torrent is this one okay?
I did Riposte + Flesh Tearer and had a lot of fun with it tbh
exploit weakness is not cope no sirree
Works ig
Brunt's place is always about making the best out of a bad situation
I don't deny it
I love him spinning to face the lasgun player and STILL spamming shots LMFAO
Where did that man get those snazzy sights for his lasgun? And oh shit is that a twin-linked Lasgun?
i was laughing so hard i almost didn't see the bomber
it's amazing
dude is living his best life firing a Plasma non-stop and MISSING at poxwalkers
it's the hotshot barrel from https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/290
And we can just use this without getting in trouble, despite it being uh, not steam workshop?
Yeah it's fine as long as it is client side only
Because I hate the ironsights on the Accatrans with a passion
yes. modding policy is that client side stuff is ok as long as you're not messing witht he servers or screwing people over
Fatshark only gets angry if premium cosmetics become server side afaik
they also got mad at the "vacuum capsule" spam LOL
only wholesome things
casually running through a mission and a dude grabs a stim to begin crabwalking at you and spamming vacuum capsule while wiggling his stim and staring at his crotch
idk what mod that even was but I think they went after it
guys, what if i burnt down the kitchen
swap stamina to crit damage and pour grease down the drain
Senior Plasma Gunner Man, this is the best I could cook up
Adequate to task?
Not sure why it has 80% Thermal too as it said it would have 70% at 500 power, but despite aiming solely for Damage, Stopping Power and Ammo, I'll gladly take it
I think the perks might need to be changed?
afaik crit chance isn't good for Plasma
and ranged crit hit damage is much weaker than it sounds
I am critting half my shots with Gets Hot tho
yeah Gets Hot is why the 5% ranged crit chance perk is eh
gets hot is a blessing, not a perk
Elite, Maniac and Unarmoured give breakpoints on Plasma afaik
Elite and Unarmoured sorta cover each other so you don't need both of those together
If I am already getting 50% critical chance from the blessing, why not add another 5% critical chance, and if 55% of your shots are gonna be crits, why not up their damage?
Which breakpoints should I be worrying about then?
Dreg Gunner is the big one that Elite or Unarmoured would cover afaik
Unarmored/elite + flak/maniac
Don’t use those perks lol they’re not good on plasma
Uncertainty about perks is why I asked you, since Sneaky told me to defer to you
IIRC the damage calc on crit damage ends up being minor compared to the bonus from armor type
yeah he knows way more about Plasma
I'm only vaguely aware of the perks and breakpoints for that weapon
Yeah that's why I am asking him, but my question is what specific enemies I should be re-tooling my gun for
In the Perk section to be precise
Looking for two nice +25% damage to category buffs
unarmored flak
Unarmoured? As in, the yee-yee ass infected dudes with the rusty knives?
Do u want to 1 tap Dreg gunners & Tox bombers
for dreg gunner breakpoint
kinda ye
Ok unarmored & flak
Creatures have multiple different armor zones on their models
Understood
The reason why crit damage is bad is because it doesn't affect the entire damage, it only affects the damage that is being added by the crit.
you do better at this game when you start generalizing your build over specializing imo
It was that way in VT2 too and we were happy
e.g. maulers have carapace on their head but flak on their torso
Yeah it's a WH game true
We minmax in this hoe.
The bruiser hordes likewise, unarmored heads but flak torso
then theirs reapers who have flak unyielding and carapace
Adding +10% crit damage is what like, 1% more damage overall
If that can be explained in English I'm sure it could be really neat information.
jesus christ that's horrible
It's in the pinned document
Yeah fatshark calculations fucking suck.
That's just a snippet
Same issue with weakspot damage.
If your shots normally do 100 damage on a non-crit, and crit for an extra 50 damage for a total 150 damage, the ranged crit damage only adds an extra +10% from the bonus 50 damage from the crit, not to the total 150. So instead of 150 damage you get ... 155
Well then, here we have the final product
The only benefit to scaling crit damage I guess is that crits have some innate rending
Lets you plink a little more against armored targets
I was quite enjoying two-shotting a crusher yeah
Plasma has innately high ADM against carapace so it doesn't need to crit to do good damage
So you're better off scaling damage you get on 100% of your hits vs 50 or 55 or whatever your crit rate is
Plasma is 3 shot vs crusher usually but it doesn’t kill crusher groups fast due to slow firerate & needing to vent
krak grenade out!
You’re better off going with melee anti-carapace tools
That's what my boltgun is for
Is stability the dump stat for both heavy laspistols?
Boltgun for horde clear is 
what the hell
The only hordes that I have trouble with are the mobian guys
darktide youtube comments section
Have u considered maybe u want a melee for horde clear
Dueling sword works fine
It’s like the worst horde clear in the game lol
if power sword was less ass to use I'd go back to using that
Well its worse on vet
does the max % on the modifiers change upon empowering?
You could also take a Rashad
for weapon stats
oh ok
Not supposed to
But it’s buggy rn
Light spam
hm...
Think power sword but u never have to power up
And now I have the fancy name code
You can do that and deal with the specials lmao
does anyone know which has higher dps for combat knife between precog/uncanny strike vs riposte/uncanny strike
For veteran just take riposte
I think i see your issue now
Listen I like my axe but it's somehow worse at horde clear than DS

You built it wrong then
Brutal momentum + headtaker
That's literally what's on it
I know it sounds weird but a properly built Rashad Mk II Combat Axe with Brutal Momentum and Headtaker clears hordes exceptionally well
dualing sword has ass wave clear
You need Unarmoured too afaik
then it carves through Bruisers just as well as poxwalkers/groaners
Not anymore
for psyker I use it to suppliment the wave clear of my staff and scream
on zealot I suppliment the wave clear by just having insane crit rates
Do u use mods
Uncanny precog DS4 just tears through stuff
I thought Unarmoured was so you could reach Bruiser 1 tap without needing to build up a few Headtaker stacks first?
can you do it from 0 Headtaker? 
Nah DS4 might unironically be the worst horde clear for veteran
precog is not amazing for wave clear
I cope with headtaker stack requirement
what are you taking instead of Unarmoured?
precog is also useful for synergizing with dualist on zealot, but I dont see the value on vet
Carapace for better Crusher breakpoint?
Go to meat grinder, use creature spawner and record ur horde clear vs 50 poxwalkers
I’m genuinely curious how you’re getting worse clear time with Rashad than duelling sword
idk I just load into missions and play through them just fine lol
Carapace + elite
Mixed hordes are the real test
yeah I struggle way to much on high intensity aurics
with the wave clear
mixed hordes is worse
The thing about DS4 is that it pierces through like 5 layers deep on a heavy stab
No
It literally does not
@distant warren I see what your hiding from me that tiger stripe camo me wants lol
It has 1.5 cleave
You’re not rly striking anything before & after
u dont even need to use any mods, just go in the psykanium, push all of the poxwalkers into a ball than spam light attacks on it
then do the same but use a good wave clear weapon like a PS or CS
eh finnaly armors bane is a bitch and a half thank the gods for mobian 21st
really should have been specifically ogryn and monstrosities and made it likem 75 or something
By the way, any feedback on the roll of my Chainsword?
Shoulda dumped mobility instead of pen. Otherwise everything is good
I don't know specifically how much that affects ttk tho
armorbane? i got that unintentionally, i just love krak grenades
also, which gods? 

what mk duleing sword are peeps useing
5
Ammo isn't a good dump stat for recon sadly
what bout this?
yuh
otherwise it really doesnt matter too much
Depends on weapon but usually yes
Sometimes there might be an exception for example flamer dumps damage
thx
what's a good melee weapon for when you don't touch the right side tree at all
heavy sword?
These ones arent exactly ideal unless you're willing for a slow grind towards their max.
How bout this then?
Lovely but I wouldn't do Savage sweep on the 13 personally
I can change it to a mark 4
But I want to try this one out
?
Why it pays so little lol
fuck and all for pay
Does the heavy sword benefit from Crit and Finesse stuff, like Desperado and Recipricocity, or is it good as a stand alone weapon?
Not sure for vet, but on my zealot I run crit hsword. Don't sleep on the heavies, they have great cleave
Yeah I've been sweeping at head level and it seems really good
but I was getting pushed back by the 21st armored dudes lol
so I'm like maybe I need to go down the right side tree and pick up those crit and finesse builds to make it shine
maybe on NORMAL matches it'll be better for cutting down chaffee without having to do the right side build
Yeah, I didn't run it against those dudes, that might make the difference.
I don't think it's necessary against regular hordes, but it does feel better with the crit stuff IMO
yeah lmao
I'll have to try it
I guess its good
in normal matches
without the armored guys
or maybe I need Unarmored damage for heads lol
I wouldn't go out of my way to build crit and finesse on the heavy sword
oh yeah?
You could likely get by with base damage and attack speed
yeah the speed seems fine
Just happens you might get a few crit/finesse nodes getting there anyway
I was just wondering if I was getting pressured hard just because they were the 21st guys lol
Nah, yeah, the dudes are just chonky
yeah makes sense lmao
They eat my crit illisi like it's nothing
yeah LOL
ok cool
so its just a good horde clear if you don't invest into weapon specialist
so if I run Focus Target and go middle tree
it'll smash the mob guys
With shit like the focus target damage buff and those timed damage buffs from the red talents at the bottom, you can squeeze some good damage out it
yeah for sure lol
just wanted something to clear out the trash mobs super fast so I can whip out the bolter for the big guys
If you have no self-respect, you could just use a combat axe
I'm already tired of rashad
LOL
i've been using it for like 300 hours....i'm so tired...
Yeah switch that one to a Mk4 and it's perfect 
In a similar boat. I rolled 2 perfect Rashad (vet and zealot) and felt obligated to use em endlessly. Now that all perfect rolls are easy I want to go hard on some other melees
yes yes yes LOL
like every match with the rashad I'm like
dancing
carrying
its a dream
but its too good....
im running a boss killer, duelling sword+bolter with puncutre
Does Bring it Down apply to the scab captain bosses?
like the guy at the end of the train level
is he MAN
or MONSTER
Bring shredders for horde clear so you don't have to be that guy doing bolter mag dump into hordes
They’re a heretic, implying they are on equal footing with us is preposterous
it does not
only spawn, beast, and ogryn count as monstrosities
And hosts
I like that since the 1 kill maximum, hosts are just landmines you sacrifice unlucky teammates to
"Sucks for that guy. Anyway... I have plasteel to find"
Oh no… they’re in the room over… oh well
So wtfs the point of melk's shop now
free resources by dismantling weapons, or getting a decent roll on a weapon you have 0 mastery for
You get plasteel from dismantling them???
Yee

Now ya do
And since they oranges you get around 200
You dont get plasteel from curios tho
Melk bucks tho
That's only like 2 things in that overpriced shop
hey guys look who's in the cool club today 😎
Sounds about right, since it's been 2 years and last week was Melks first rework
I knows my fatshark
fatshark will go on diet, entire game gets reworked

The point of melk is to get good rolls on weapons you either don't have mastery for or don't want to spend 5k plasteel on
its only good for new players lol
Or, as stated, scrap for some meger plasteel and dia lol
I only have 300 hours in this game i'm basically new
ill probably use it for my veteran with like 0 masteries
Not really
but otherwies useless
My masteries say otherwise lol
Only have like 5 fully done
Because I stockpiled weapons and never redeemed the blessings
Whoopsies
You can feed weapons to the tech preist for mastery
I was like "i've got a few decent rolls on these weapons I don't need more"

Yeah but that takes p l a s t e e l
I maxed mastery in all weapons after the patch without playing lol, just fed the machine god
To get them to green at least
Green is most effeient for that reason
Do you actually have to use the weapon during the mission to get mastery? Or just have it equipped
Just bring it
You just need it with you
Awesome
GOD DAMN
does weak spot damage from precision strikes apply to only ranged, or melee too
it used to apply to melee too but wondering if it got "fixed"
Pretty sure it's both
Nice, thanks!
I love unnecessary means tho
Its really easy too
Chink stacks as well?
I know this isn’t warhammer related but boom pre-oven chicken pies
RASHUNS
IS 'OUNDS GOOD FOR EATIN
Should i run unyielding or carapace for my recon
Cant decide if crushers or reapers are the biggest threat
does knife vet not like bleeds anymore?
do you mean serrated blade or blessings
both?
Bleed blessings have never been very good
serrated blade is mostly an enabler for mercy killer
Serrated blade + mercy killer is the most consistent second pick to go with Uncanny strike (if you have the points)
Same damage bonus but you always have your condition
It does require routing however
i have precognition but i dont think i really capitalize on it much being sorta bad
so im looking for something a bit more passive
I don't take it on my builds because if I'm routing to smokes I take Agile Engagement because I'm going to pick weapon spec
at least it doesnt feel like i do
im still playing that smoke build you gave me lol my fingers hurt
and extra 25% damage on top of my already insane shotgun blast is great
I would run neither but if you insist I would say unyeilding for extra monster damage too
but with that build i wa considering changing out field improvisation for serrated blade + mercy kill
That's super fine
and dropping precog
field improv is really nice to have but ultimately its a luxury that you take if you have an extra point and already take grenade regen
Crushers
Reapers will stop shooting because funny recon suppression
any shock mual users here? whats the pros and cons of the weapon?
is the special attack single target or a aoe like paul and the one zealot crusher
i cant really think of any cons because i usually pair my melee weapons weaknesses with my ranged weapons strengths
Its a single target stun
special seems single
well im looking for horde clear rn becuse im running bolter sniper
what mk mual for CC
it has a great heavy > light combo for crowd control
the block attack is also a swipe
seems to hit like a truck
It’s an alternative version of the sapper shovel it seems
granted im not like a super mechanics player in this game. i just hop on and kill heretics.
speaking of the shovel dont see many of those nowadays hows it rank in thecultural zeitgeist?
My ogryn gonna chow that thing down in no time.
It does what it always has
Either total CC or crusher oneshots
(with a side of cc for the latter)
Very safe weapon
Always a reliable pick
Fair warning that shit is not practical
How do the shovel mks compare rn
rn my bolt pistol is lethal prox and surgical because i love the grenade spam
You need to run an overkill amount of damage and have fully stacked MF to oneshot
tho i kinda wanted to swap surgical for headshot
oooh
or using puncture? but that just kinda feels weird outside of more bleed memes from bleed grenade
bye
what is the best melee weapon for horde clearing?
Standard and mk7 are popular picks
Mk3 has a weird moveset
Rashad combat axe is the best. But lots of them do. Heavy sword, chainsword, power sword
currently using chainsword
Rashad Combat Axe with Brutal Momentum 
the second one
XIIIg?
the blue o ne
What blessings?
I forget the name
extra damage for hitting crowds and extra damage after performing special
ill check
Rashad with BM/Headtaker + Unarmored/Flak will kill 4 guardsmen (bruisers) every swing just spamming light attacks. Dump mobility. It feels great but is definitely overtuned lol
good to know
will try that
chainsword is cooler conceptually but I feel like it doesnt perform best
Rashad is not flashy but is the meta choice atm
Probably Rampage and Bloodletter/thirsty on a XIIIg
Drop blood whatever for Wrath
Savage sweep and rampage on XIIIg
Yeah you need to have Wrath or learn combos with the XIIIg
It has a weird time proccing Sweep or Rampage
should I try IV?
What blessings/perks go on the Agri shotgun?
what is the def between mks again? which one is your go to
also how does bleed work in this game
Yeah, both heavies have good cleave
So Rampage and Sweep are pretty good
my first thought was similarly to risk of rain
Stacking dot. After you hit a certain amount of stacks they start doing drastically higher damage.
so exactly like in risk of rain
good to know
I assume bleed doesnt proc on iron halo
(same gun) I can probably push it further with an extra 2% elites and t4 deadly accurate
the vertical squish 
the icons literally clip into each other
Aaaaa
What blessings/perks go on the Agri combat shotgun?
Full bore
im dumb
Fullbore, not scattershot + Manstopper?
fullbore has synergy with their special shot
... is it? god I hope it is
Agri is the slug shotgun.
this renaming convention have me derping
People are running around with Manstopper because funny cleave
I'm trying to figure out what blessings to run on the slug shotgun. Fullbore makes sense. But what would go with it then?
Manstopper? No Respite?
Infinite cleave on special shot sounds nice
If it crits
Yeah
Dead perk when it doesn't
is no respite any good on a hellbore lasgun nowadays?
No never
Unless funny bayo build
Fuck falter fuck no respite
Hmmm
Your bayo goes from 3 cleave to 4.5
But it's a bayo
Don't expect good cleave damage
yea
I watched a Zealot speed run 90% of the match and then the moment a Plogryn spawned they died lmao
what blessings should i go for on chainsword
Which one?
not sure which one to use either
IV
Rampage + shred
XIIIg
Wrath + shred
ty
Also no I didn't revive them, the other remaining Zealot stack did
Look im just saying if you run across the entire map by yourself I expect you to be able to solo till the mission is finished lmao
and of all things a plogryn
Literally lmao
do u like my revolver ? 😄
i shit in your milk
wtf
I just like my revolver man
am I crazy for using the mark V dueling sword bc it still feels really strong and is more fun
and the IV is just kinda OP
V still feels op tbh lol
I love V
Well its defenses
Na play what u like
It gives the feel of a real Sabre since you’re slashing more than you’re stabbing
I love the revolver
wait, the V heavy attacks have the same dmg values as the IV
At first I really liked the mk5 over the mk4. I eventually flipped but the mk5 is solid
It feels like you're sorta bonking people with it? Idk its satisfying lol
Combat knife is very satisfying as well
The heavy attack on those gunners feels soo good
the mark II has the dmg of the IV and the same stats
but has the different h2 attack
The Mk2 is one of those all arounder
Plus 4 lights instead of 3
The H1 was bugged until Machine patch

is that why it used to do just a lot less dmg? i was surprised just now to see it on par with the IV's heavy
i remember it being non-viable (when it was on psyker only) bc it just did markedly less dmg on its heavy
is heavy laspistol a w?
Finally got on overwatch done. That train mission makes it easy
The accatran one is
what combat shotgun variant do you guys like
Collateral only affects stagger according to the inspect window.
It sure doesn't
why am i seeing this hippo everywhere
its good
Which Mark?
*Which Weapon Mark is your prefer gun?
Anyone got a favorite wacky, goofy, silly shovel-based melee build? I'm getting rid of my power sword build cause I find it clunky as hell to play
I am also interested in knowing which shovel is best for cc
Standard
which issss what mk?
I think it’s just called standard or something
ah
why standard issue btw? the special attack?
The heavies
I always have used the mk7
The heavy attacks are really fast perfect horizontals with good stagger
I think it can stagger lock ragers actually
if you use the standard i recommend a ranged weapon that can puncture armor
mk1 is standard issue
my bolter sniper build kills elites and ogryn just by looking at them its just the damn tidal waves of flesh that get me in auric mal
Combat axe 
If it’s human soup get a dclaw
Bolter sniper? How does that work
Shitty adm’s for everything but it can take savage sweep rampage and the mk4 has a fun moveset
There aren’t many things in this game that can handle a 45% crit chance Rashad to the face
was just about to ask since non of them are called standard these days
Having a dclaw gives you the right and honor of aggroing every daemonhost you see
And then blending it
Surgical and glory hunter on the bolter not entirely my build somebody in here who I do not remember becuse brain smooth drew this up for me after i complained about loving the feel of the bolter but not being able to make it work
used this to get auric storm surviver
I got a Boltgun build for u
I wouldn’t invest so heavily in top tree

wednesday october 2nd
your prob better at the game then me I need all the toughness regen i can get lol
It’s crazy to think that I can actually fit a Rashad into a Boltgun build
Iron will and confirmed kill is already insane
You are borderline immune to most attacks above 75% toughness
Whaaaat about a best build for shovel melee with Helbore Lasgun? A Krieg build
You start to explode instantly once you pass that but confirmed kill is great instant returns
in like damnation and lower true but with this setup even in auric meal I basicly become imortal aslong as there are tagable baddies in the room lets me just stand still and compleatly clear the room of non trash
I am a knife addict and run weapon spec so I am the projectile to all of the taggable stuff
Could you share weapons and curios too?
Double barrel opens conveniently cone shaped holes in whatever i point it at so point a to point b is a matter of if I can kill 3 things before getting there
U can make one but ur gonna be lacking in at least one area in terms of dps
melee weapon is choice I useds chain sword becuse its what I know but aslong as you can stay upright and deal with a semi competent amount of trash your good. same for curious really im probably way to defensive here but untill today I was trying for auric survivor so now ill prob expirement more
Thank you kind mister
is there a preference to which power sword to use?
U can try 2 health + 1 toughness on curios
VI
Its a goverment psyop
Well i was hoping to be focused on melee dps for hordes and using helbore charge shot to do damage on elites at distance, and using bayonet in times of need against elites that gets too close
mk3 is easier to use, mk7 is stronger
push attack can oneshot crushers and better light spam for horde clear
oh that's interesting
most folks say play the mk7 for a few matches and you'll be golden
just got to get used to the push attack combo honestly
can you detail this combo iv only ever used mk4
oooh the push attack stab is near instant
I'll play around with it while grinding some penances
any suggestion on where to put the last 3 points ?
was thinking maybe voley adept and cover fire but not sure
Did you mean mk6?
or do I not know how to read roman numerals becuse I am not seeing a VII
yes
yeah it's 6 not 7
what is this strike patter that includes a block attack becuse I struggle massivly with the PS and would like to make it work for me
from what i know usually zoos teach baby hippos from a young age not to bite, but half the images i've seen of moo deng is her play biting someone
oh yes that one
its cute now but wait til it chomps you in half like an ork
is rending strikes any good ?
oh, i tought it was more for melee tbh
Longshot is actually quite bad so I would recommend dropping that or going for volley adept
Fast guns like mk5 IAG and the recons get good usage
what weapons are you using?
Mostly cause their Cara adm’s suck and combining it with the brittleness on ranged let’s you eat crushers
revolver mostly but i do wanna give bolters a try on this
In that cause I would highly recommend picking up volley adept if you want to keep your revolver out most of the time and picking up deadshot to go with it
im an advocate for taking field improv
field improv is always a nice one to pick up ☝️
but yeah on a revolver build that isn't just a weapons specialist melee build
you want adept volley and deadshot
Does veteran have a thammer equivalent
ok, i was already heavly leaning adept voley so ill pick it with deadshot
power sword
yeah deadshot lets you get those juicy crusher oneshots with surgical
it's real noice
Beside pow sword what other wep can tap the heavies and adequetely deal horde
and with Target Down! you'll have infinite stamina to special snipe with
Rashad is the best Vet melee weapon
still got a point left, i guess ill try field improv
the duelling sword is very good too but it doesn't have the best horde clear
Yeah i want something that can deal with both
But not be pow
Cos i dont like always special
I feel that, I'm turning my power sword build into something else right now
feels so clunky to constantly charge
better now ?
And chainsword for a few
8 stacks tag is basically useless outside of bosses
Looks good! You're going to SUCK when you're overwhelmed though so I highly recommend the Rashad for easy horde clear
To do what
And weapon spec
i started running claw and im quite liking it, altough ima big shovel fan
How do I even survive certain objectives as a ranged vet?
I feel like my ranged vet is really weak in melee. For objectives where you are surrounded by even pox walkers, there is no wall to back up against and no area to stay safe from enemies
What am I meant to do?
wich one is that ? the dueling sword ?
Have a safe weapon
Melee
At higher diff melee is the main thing
You are meant to make your build well-rounded enough that you have an option when you're overwhelmed in melee range
Yes
Knife is a very high investment melee
Get something that offsets your guns weakness and lay in, melee is about control
Oh why not
On my extremely range-focused builds I run the Rashad because it's easily the vets strongest melee weapon. Doesn't take any point investment to be good at horde clear but becomes godlike when you do invest points into it too.
Would highly recommend picking one up
Learn melee
Maybe pick up a strong horde clear melee
What’s the Tasha’s again?
LMAO
thanks autocorrect
I’m pretty good in melee but I’ve been using the cadian sword for the build which doesn’t seem to be the best
Cadian sword
Cadian sword
Catachan devilclaw?
What
chainsword i think
Cadians have a lot of swords which one
The cadia mk IV
Chainsword
Which ones that
Cool
What does ur talent tree look like
Ok
Yeah if you show us your talent tree and what you want to focus on in the build we can try to help
Not at home rn sadly
It’s kinda just a ranged build for a standard lasgun
using cadian weapons is scary, what if they blow up like the planet
I can do it later (11 hours lol)
are Flak + Maniac good perks for plasma gun
Stuff from catachan is better
So true
It’s a cadian themed build
Unarmored/elite + flak/maniac
I just realized I have a strong preference for their stuff
Average jungle dweller
ngl, one of the most fun play styles is regular las imo
cadia didnt blow up bcs of the fortress
it blew up cuz every single lasgun fired at it all at once
I agree, ranged vet used to be my absolute least favourite build in the game of all classes
But the lasgun is so fun. It’s really nice to have a ranged weapon that does so much
unarmored = unyielding?
It’s also cool
Get dropped into a hive city with a crappy lasgun and mess stuff up
No
Laspistol is my baby
Unyielding are ogryns and bosses, sans crushers
haven't been able to get into any of the other lasguns tbh
it is very versatile, i do wanna try other variants of it now that i can freely switch it around, was always using my mark 12, now mark 9
Laspistol is just too damn good. Amazing crits, massive ammo pool, super mobile, fastest reload.
IX infantry lasgun is unfortunately pretty bad
i like it
gotcha
If you can keep up stamina for deadshot laspistol is a sniping machine
works great with exe stance
Mk4 ilas (or whatever it's called now) has always been my favorite since the buff it recieved
Very reliable
Does anyone have a mk3 vigilant autogun build or know what they specialize in?
I think they're good on a crit build but I'm not sure
it's the only weapon class I haven't used in a build
I like to be considerate towards the teammates when it comes to ammo so I use the max damage per shot variant
I just like having a weapon that can deal with everything, from hordes to elites and armour
I mean it’s a lasgun, it does every job at a fairly average level
But it still gets them all done
sure, i close my eyes and the enemies cease to exist
anyone know what the best blessings for the Vraks 3 headhunter is?
I just feel like an actual guard when I’m holding off hordes with a lasgun
isnt the vraks 3 called the columnus 3 now
if its the 3 round burst one you want deadly accurate and headhunter
Like the double barrel for example is cool, but who even am I at that point?
I’m a guard. I get a lasgun
sorry, the other two want deadly accurate and surgical
anyway chat now you have to answer my question
wtf do I do with the turtolsky sword
That’s the heavy sword right?
yeah
You’re an inquisitorial acolyte
I, genuinely couldn’t tell you. That weapon feels weird as hell to use. I saw someone run it with flak and unyielding and take rampage and headtaker on it
Go nuts
Headtaker Deathblow, then Flak and your choice of maniac, unyielding, or elite
Be warned it’s carapace damage is shit
I can see that
I wanted my friend to pick my next loadout to master
and he gave me shredder pistol and turtolsky sword
so
That
LOL
typically people run headhunter and deadly accurate
The worst weapon in the game
OH fuck that’s so bad lmao
it's a little disappointing that the headtaker brutal momentum combo that is from every other weapon is still the correct choice here
I like variety but whatever
anyway what do I do with the shredder pistol?
It’s bromentum and a power blessing
Tf else you running
Weapon specialist build and good fucking luck lmao
true
this is what we've got so far
Honestly no idea because nobody bothers to build it
I highly recommend against it
well I'm a completionist
I would say, make a grenadier build
and I already mastered all the good weapons
You are going to be entirely dependent on kraks to kill any carapace
yep
Lameeee
It’s cooler
and hopefully my team
"look at this bitch shredder pistol and turtolsky sword wtf is she doin"
You have more freedom than most people will ever see, spice up that armory locker
No
What’s the point of being above the law and in a private military of you aren’t going to decorate your quarters with all sorts of fun stuff
But no, genuinely make a grenadier build. Take all the grenade talents, run kraks and uh
For Cadia, etc etc
The Emperor Protects.
Live 20 fucking ragers reaction
Ragers die the hardest to my lasgun build
‘Oh no he’s angry what should I do?!’
5 .50 cal lasers to the head:
I do legitimately think you should branch out to other stuff
Lmao what’s that one mission where you break the green vials or whatever? The one with the green koolaid? Cause at the end something like 20-30 ragers spawn
It’s outrageous
You have a giant skill tree and like 20 other guns for a reason
I use other stuff yeah but rn lasgun vet is what I have the most fun with
I’ve been playing since before skill trees lol, I’ve only started using lasgun relatively recently
A veteran fights with what’s available
do you
whts a good build for Raksha + bolter?
What’s raksha
Rashad spelled poorly
thank you for this
^🤡
Yeah
rashad is strong enough to work without talents imo, so i would just go reload speed into left/middle tree for range damage and grenades
ty
I’m fucking ass with the rashad, but maybe that’s because i pair with a plasma and feel clunky and slow
And every game i have played with it, i rubber band like crazy
Without fail
It’s like the Emperor doesn’t want me using the rashad
rashad is basically an elite killer melee, you dont really need bolter or plasma with it
but you can make it work
just bromentum and headtaker or whatever else as your strength blessing
voc or heresy
I’ll just stick to my little kitchen knife
executioner's stance is way more fun tough
bring me back go the old days of standing in front of 40 gunners with exec stance and taking no dmg
Oh this is exactly what i run lmao, it’s really just a skill issue on my part
I rarely use the heavy sword honestly
Never got used to using it
I should try it again
I think there’s a few weapons I tried when new and couldn’t use them very well, and I’ve needed up not using them at all
Like devil’s claw
Whos he tryna kiss
dont play gachas

its worse casinos than old DT
Id rather go to real casino before i gamble with anime girls
Im trying to ffarm auric missions but then I see a vet just one shot everything with an axxe and melt ranged enemiies wtf are people usingg
they removed hadron slot machine 
Now its quartermaster gambling
its like a childs play
buying a 100-yen gacha on the street
you buy 5-6
and get the toy you want
ez
idk, seems like a japanese term
for these
random lootboxes
since 1990s
Ah
I always thought it was like
and everyone keep calling
“Got ya” sucker
it like that
Gotcha?
