people started using columnus iag because it got stupid OP
agri brauto?
What?
i thought you said you ran shredder psyker
no
is shredder not a gun
Infernus Vet was the strongest vet had ever been, then it got nerfed
dude, I don't have time to talk to autistic people with reading comprehension issues

it's not agri brauto
You should see how their weapon code names are
infernus recon was good for a splitsecond and then it spent near 2 years being garbage
its not
its still garbage compared to power recon
Veteran’s shovels are coded as
combataxe_p3_m1/m2/m3
pass, i already get annoyed trying to remember weapon names

deathspitter dum dum recon stil mogs infernus
Infernus vet broke the game entirely, it melted bosses in 5 seconds
It's me! I'm no one
dum dum alone does this
its kinda sad
born died, reborn as gunlugger flaming rounds
henlo
died again
Until they nerfed infernus stacking infinitely actually. It happened after the launch.
oh wait you were talking about recon nvm
Yeah I was there...
my bad
does deathspitter and dumdum still just use crit stacking?
It's really funny because the Recon Mk VId didn't get damage buffed beyond fire rate and that alone was enough to rocket it from one of the worst weapons in the game to one of the best LOL
The other two variants got damage buffs
firerate is technically damage
It is yeah
dps
Yez
It was always a funny gun
lol farming crushers and bosses all day, daemonhost got released, and it would just disappear instantly
ill give it try
Tbh I don't think the Recon Mk VId actually changed that much damage wise
it didnt
The only 'broken' thing Vet still has is tank stance now
because bleed through didn't exist
Everyone heard that Recons were buffed and started playing with it
bro the 1st time is showed a daemonhost the sun was the greatest moment in this game
Base damage buffed, armor damage remained ~equal to pre-buff
Base damage was only buffed on the other two variants
It did not receive a damage buff beyond fire rate
Maybe I remembered wrong
i was playing becuase locks got removed lol
I miss crit hit proc perma invis 😔😔😔😔😔😔
I miss my power...Vet has been nerfed so often but Pyskers needed something...
That's fair LOL
lol lmao
crutched asf
Crutched?
vet is still strong asf, while i agree they keep fuckin buffing psyker for some reason
Stacks 5 times (up to +32.5% strength)
but vet has tons of power
all honesty playing psyker and leveling and reading the tree can feel like shit
that have too much rng on their tree
i dislike it
iirc
Recon Mk VId got mag size increase and fire rate buff but nerfed swap speed/reload speed
Recon Mk II got damage buff and ADM changes
Recon Mk VIIa got damage buff, ADM changes, buffed ammo reserve and impact
and i thought infernus was good
VIIa got the most love
voc, agile engagement, focus target, weapon spec with certain builds
but VId is the most loved
Well, compared to the slaughterer equivalent on ur gun, no
Vet had all the stuff comparatively, damage, beef, versitility
ima be real, i only played zealot till this update
Mmm at least in terms of power, vet still has its super tough regen tank stance and....some power generation, but 90% of the power gen that vets used to get have been removed through patches...
I know you want to fight me but I have played this game longer and know the game more than you, Im not someone you can argue with over 'is it good' because Im not arguing if Vet is good, Im stating Vet has broken the games balance
But for psyker, prob take infernus over deathspitter on recon
Saves u ammo
like c'mon if you are stuck on 75% perma DR, perma ability active but that's years ago
Oo?
cool
i will try
i bought the game day one of open beta you nerd
and you had no idea how power worked
post purchase date
lmao
Str/pwr=dmg,impact, cleave
after you were told
theres a guardsman vest atm that you can get for applying 7500 armor, the one with only one glove and a lot of purity seals, its sickish yellow but ive seen a black one
how do you get the black one
you can have me describe power in this discord over a year ago i bet lol
Infiltrate penance
fuckin hyperfixation
again, its fine, I really dont care, but again, you cant argue with me, but you can keep beating your head against the wall if you want
but it double dipped on cleave because of the stagger
post purchase date nerd
infiltrate aggro drop uptime, VoC,
it currently does as well
If only autopistol had skullcrusher as a blessing 
i'll get my B helmet out
is desperado good for tacaxe and duelling sword?
oh damn u did do something earleir than me
We really comparising dick sizes via when we bought darktide? 🤔
im taxing you mofos
i dind't get imperial edition until the first sale
you don't know your shit from your chocolate
I started playing this game fall of last year
Been in this game for a very very long time...
you type like a geek
thx
When Infernus was broken
when Psword was broken
Shredder
Brauto
when my XII was my god
if you wanna get rich and stay rich you save money when you can
I didnt say nothing, I said do what you wanna do
are you now having a rat race over who bought the game first
psword is a tank because it has taken so many nerf hammers and keeps being great xd
Is 4000 docket fee for swapping blessing really that damaging on imperial economy 
they brought it up xd
bet you'r cool
You keep doing you Kuro, just dont sabatoge the run and we golden.
utter tardation, I can't even call this for what it is without being autocensored
I SPENT DAMN NEAR 700K ROLLING A PEICE OF SHIT RECON AND MAXING IT
we get it plush
yeah im broke
u are easily upset by things you read
Oh lmao
always been broke
u can try to change the conversation topic or not look at the channel
nah
._. the amount of dockets and resources I farmed and spent to roll god rolls only for it to be easy as sin now....
im keeping my old ones XD
nah I'll just leave you all to your rat race honestly .d
FFS!
but I was already mastery lvl 20 on like..10 of my weapons on patch day so...that was nice..
Broke ass
I dont hate plasma gun, I hate plasma vets
u sound like you care more if you wanna dump slurs bro
i spend too much trying to roll a good one
rat is a slur?
lmao
cope
my shit is at mastery 9, its gunna stay there for a while
this isn't to you lol
cool, you can get 8 shots from 0 heat, thats great....
watches them miss 5 of those 8 shots
cry about it ferret pfp
no the slur was the R one lol you can go scroll up and read
then type it too lol
I feel bad having almost 3k...
BACK TO MEDIOCRITY as the emperor intended
broke my bank to revert XD
i didn't say anything to mods
why complain then
that's like saying QQ unironically

just meant to say its petty but sure I guess, clearly I'm not helping change topic so I'd like to excuse myself now
les go
like oh ok look who can't say REDACTED
wow so are you going to stop about who played longer
What are y’all even arguing about
I havent mentioned it? I was just joining you as a fellow beta 😦
just some losers wanting to say slurs but scared

god the B helmet is ugly
i can't believe it came out
brother?!
😦 just trying to be friendly....
hey bandit
yea my bad
get muted nerd
WE WERE THERE WHEN THE ONLY THING WORKING WAS THE CACH SHOP🤣
I don't know, I wanted to talk about the food I made but all I hear is:
''I bought the game first so I'm right''
''no I bought the game first I'm righter than you''
like... ??? .d
I feel there's a lot of people returning and not realizing the game and discord have changed
god i enjoy the block function
I got my free 1000 cash shop credits, I bought my glam, I made the jojo...
A bit like we're the OG's move along noobs
"I'm ignoring you, i'm blocking you, i gotta announce it to the whole server!"
I didn’t even play the game much before patch 13 cuz it ran like ass lmao
i never said it made me right
i spent my shit on the ugliest zealot set
with the shittiest golden mask
It always ran around 50 fps for me. And then last week it hovered around 80
I blame games lantern, this discord, and RAR for why people still dont know how the hell to play this game sometimes...
steam forums, reddit
That too
I think I just deleted for the drip...
its nice drip
for the drip and weapon customization mods make my game too unstable
I hate this helmet, but it brings out my eyes
i just remember pre bleedthrough on toughness
1000 yard stare
lets all just come together and remember, as much as we hate each other...
The zealots are the reason we got nerfed
oh and bleed being broken
They really just released an update that brought Moebian 6th armor (that actually looks good) and said you’ll get either helmet with no mask, or mask with no helmet
veteran crybabies coming back in force
Sorry, I miss being able to do 6 energeized swings with my PS without PC
at this point fatshark might just give you the 7 powersword swings back
as a previous zealot main im sorry for the hit bolter got
you did this to me
If they release the helmet + mask combo for the Moebian 6th Armor I think I’d actually use that a lot
yeah i never realised how good it would look with a mask, jesus christ why are they alergic to giving us a mask+helmet
ppl dont know this but there was a select few of us zealots abusing the bolter back then, they nerfed it then they finally touched the problem -- chorus of dawn
we use to chant then delete bosses
some idiot let fat shark know about it
The thing is
It actually looks pretty cool with helmet + mask combo
veterans getting survivalist nerfed from SSS+ tier to S+ tier, riots
zealots getting ranged fotf interaction removed, thank fuck
U could have recoloured it and told me this was some storm trooper armor and I’d believe it
i mean it was not well hidden lol
I used to be happy with my XII and my PS, just clearing damnation each day without a care in the world. Gunner swarm? Got ya friends, Elite wave? no problem! group of Crushers, dont worry pals, I'll clear the rest, so you can focus on that...
Now....Im just blamed for everything
yeah I'd love that, or just give me a green version of this armor so I can slap the scion helmet on
ppl found out about it like literally months after we were abusing
also the googles could be... glowier?
i still blame YT ppl
you sound like dorn (not an insult)
i would see a chaos spawn, pray a little then unless the fucking warp on its ass
also no, i remember seeing the first monster chorus kill in like, a week on this discord tops
It looks alr in the dark but it doesn’t pop in brighter environments
to be honest, I think that hurt everyone else more than the vet. I know my friends who run revo/flame/ogryn were more upset than I was
I like the way scion googles look, and that ogryn helmet, the one they gave for pearl clutcher incident
either way it didnt get nerfed until months after tho
lmao
and a good amount of the community testers at the time are on the discord
that just fatshark speed
especially my revo zealot friend. WHERES MY AMMO?! WHY DO I NEED AMMO NOW?! NAI, WHERES MY AMMO?!
most ppl werent even using chorus
Scion helm is just peak
fair
chorus is the worst ability in terms of fun for me lol
Guys is the helbore lasgun bayonet attack extremely good or am I tripping?
It is, just a shame it doesn't have a lot of stuff to match it with
i want to be interacting with the game not dropping my dps to zero
They buffed ammo spawn rate quite a bit in that same patch, like 20~25% more
it was only good when it stacked pinning fire [the problem] and when it could shove monsters off of maps
it would be like psyker having to channel to keep shield up or vet channeling to keep shouting
really all I need are some recolour options for the new penance armors I think
i guess the ston lock was broken too
give me a green mobian 6th
anyone know if this is good for passive damage or just a meme?
it's a meme
both of the other nodes are better
Its bit of a meme, next to two really good nodes too
its bad/memey
infinite smite
If only I could get a black scion helm
no ammo buff in the world will help people who used to be able to not have to care about ammo pickups and just be able to feed it to me...
Now they gobble it up like a bum on a cheese sandwich just to keep up their addictions
that armor is on zealot right?
Nah, veteran
ammo is like at what, 5000% ammo per map?
I like it
ah, oh wait I remember it
or am I overshooting it
just wondering because 20% damage could be huge if it actually procs, but the fucking buff icons are broke as shit and dont pop up more than half the time
its actually quite decent but I passed on it because I was mad at fatshark at the time lol
But everyone I showed said the helmet doesn’t match colors and it’s just 
i see pple take all the ammo and still have less than me
it's a lot of ammo and outside of 3 ogryns/no ammo maelstroms, survivalist doesn't feel needed anymore all the time
they are right it doesnt
but at least its black and green
like these bums are dumping ammo into the aether
as opposed to red or blue which would look clownish
If they make a green version of that Armor I’d use it
It just looks cool
Preferably without candles tho lol
I like the power armour helmet for vets
need cadian armor set

They actually released a Kasrkin Armor while u were gone
NOOOO!
NOOOOO THEY DIDN;T
FUUUUUcK

Top Armor here, basically Kasrkin

i fucking cry
Do old bundles come back through?

FS should just open a casino
WHY?!
They just released the Kasrkin camo version in a bundle
But this plain green one is still not out
Somehow
Gimmie
both the helmet and coat were in there, just not bundled. The old bundle also came with weapon skins and a curio so you know fatshark aint gonna give us that again with how they like to nickel and dime us now
I think at this rate they’ll release the actual tempestus scion armor before that one lmao
the shark likes to edge its victims
I want the scion set smh
Hey hammer, how different do I play with deathspitter-dumdum over the infernus setup
Idk it’s still being worked on ig
Same way?
U shoot at stuff and expect them to die
At least they included the old steel legion jacket this rotation
Not much different
how did you crop background?
iOS feature
Ive heard it lies to you
damn
im only iphone 7
Im talking about the range
oldest phone
How far out does it proc
like im being dead ass you shoot and get a damage bonus for 12.5m
+6% C.dmg (max 5 stacks) from successive ranged hits (starts stacking from 2nd shot), lasts 2s
It doesnt extend past out the 12.5?
Max effect 12.5m, linear falloff from 12.5 to 30m, does basically nothing after 30m
K

no but you can stack it at any range
Oh cool
Ya
With my luck I think they’re gonna make the scion armor not have gloves or smth
i was having trouble stacking it outside the range like 20 minutes ago wtf
If it doesn’t have gloves, I don’t want it
nvm buffs start to not show just by activating executioners stance lol
dysnc, lag, or maybe missing is th eonly thing i can think of
Oh yea, does the recon work with exe?
thats a bug
I would think so
Also fyi the Kasrkin camo version of this Armor is quite buggy in terms of textures in relation to FOV and does some really weird things with certain attack animations in first person
might want a mod for that
i aint buying that shit
i want my plain green outfit
FOR CADIA!
Same
yeah I've been scrolling through nexus every time i gotta update to try and find an improved buff bar, no luck
Which means that the green one might have the same bug lol (when it releases, eventually)
I reported this issue already, they still haven’t fixed it
I just use the light Cadian Armor now
I like the VoC one
shiiit, still worth
I enjoy the seals
game changer i
At least I can see the tattoos in first person so that’s a W for me
i was learning psyker and bitch ass siphon warp kept hiding from me
had to download this
It could be worse
It could be DD stacks not showing up 
misery
Heres my vet
Buff bar is just really buggy
I just zoomed around as gunker and knew by the amount of blue men I was killing I had full stacks
On veteran u can have an issue of having so many confirmed kill procs going off that it breaks the buff bar completely
And only like 3 of them shows up
my basic ass
Even when you have like 7 that’s active
shit kinda clean tho
Mortis set looks good until u realize the gloves have buggy texture
And ur hand shows through the gloves whenever u have a grenade in ur hand
try to ruin this for me
i dear you
This Cadian set also has a problem
If u set mesh LOD below 1, your arms will show through the sleeves
Very nice
STAHP
I can show u what it looks like 
I can see it lmao
Wtf

Yea you need to set it to 1.5 for it to cover ur arms normally
Even at 1, while running it’ll still show through
Ima fix my shit rq
my gloves look fine!
Also since u like infantry autogun
There’s a skin in the shop that changes iron sights slightly
Thinner front sight
Does quick play que you into maelstorm missions
No
im not buying anything in this game until i feel like i can recommend it it to genreal public
unless that armor drops
then i might reconsider
Tbh I think it’s already well worth recommending
Unless they want to roll a plasma gun
Ok so some silly billy qued scab only no ammo pick ups willingly at lvl 18 with a recon lasgun go figure
Plasma gun can genuinely bankrupt u
Ive never been so broke
No wonder the imperial guard only ever allows elite forces to use it
yeah plasma cant just get 4 80s and 1 60

you actually need middling numbers
i refuse to do that shit
700k for a shitty nerf gun
cant imagine what i gotta drop for plasma
so whats kinda the ultimate metas? what combos?
look at first pin
PSword, Plasma VoC
ANYONE WHO DOESNT AGREE CAN FIGHT ME
oh jeez sorry
no, dont be, theres just way more info in the sheet that i cant relay
there is no real must take build
is recon lasgun good to use?
the celerity stim needs a slight tweak
it lessens all usage of stamina i think
because it affects deadshot
I think it’s fine rn, it’s a pretty strong pickup
Instantly regen all of ur stamina, reduce stamina usage
High atk speed
im just dipping my toes into veteran, there a decent build anyone would like to toss at me? (what kind of curios, melee, etc.)?
many times ive seen some cracked veterans
yeah i just know there tend to be The Best Weapons TM and the talents that pair well
options sure, but not everything is meta
yeah im trying to say i dont think the reduction is just 25% at least not for deadshot i think
its hard to see for dead shot but i amd shooting faster which is supposed to be burning me faster too
not sure if thats 25%
maybe im just dumb?
Idk I just know it does like 8 different things lmao
yeah fully restores stamina, reduces stamina usage , gives reload speed and attack speed/ fire rate / and all charge rates
it also speeds up quelling
i think it might be good, im not sure on the verdict
i remember back in the day it was a bit gnarly, just trying to get this gun started up is all xD
Try dumdum-deathspitter or infernus-headhunter
GEEBUS
thing is burning basically doesnt matter if you actually focus your shots correctly
it matters
by a few shots
not that you are gunna stop for it tho XD
might as well just take dumdum+deathspitter for more dmg
Yee
Either one works
yeah yikes on the boss damage tho
infernus is only "good" if you milk the value from the dot. Which you dont really have time for since most enemies become a threat you cant just ignore
probably multiply that by 3 and thats how fast you would actually kill 1
Infernus?
yeah i was hoping it would be nasty
Then you wont be getting good burns
i kinda thought the burns just kinda slightly add some damage on top of dum dum ngl
relying on the burn is probably just not the way to kill shit
if it is im crying
so its just add clear?
Cuz other wise no damage
is powersword any good to use for veteran?
when i have the gun gun
nah it sucks
i was leaning more towards duelist sword since im used to it on zealot
Are you using onslaught?
Show build?
not even a finess set up or brutal momentum
bare minimum damage for melee
the hell?!
winging it
I'm coming back to the game after many months away, how would you guys build an assault chainsword with the new system?
rashad

you missed damage nodes
rampage + wrath/savage sweep imo
of just use the axe
Thats why you do no damage to boss
?
ok I'm trying to work on the chainsword masteries but I'll try out the axe
im missing like 1 damage node
lmao
am i bugging?
percision strikes, deadshot, rending strikes, bring it down, onslaught
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d2cf52d-7eaf-49b6-b306-570ddad3e85b/bad-build give the tree a look
And complex
Ignore my weapons
weakspot damage is 30%
you dont have!
Dps a reaper for me
is there a non-selfish duelist build thats worth a damn lol
no unyielding
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d1b6648-4968-4b00-a3b8-4d1883cffd95/saltzpyre-vet-carry-clutch-king-auric-maelstrom-tested Cause this is cool but also really bloody selfish
Nah
5% crit chance perk + talent, plus reciprocity
i just wanna know how the gun is supposed to play
Headhunter is really low value in practice
it confuses me
Magdump everything
Recon?
like i hear infernus good but it can;t carry damage
yeah
It can
i dont wanna have to be in ability to just delete dudes
Dum dum + deathspitter, shoot at stuff that move but don’t have name tag above their heads
okay 1 i am broke
after today i realize i dislike death spittter
With both shocktrooper and survivalist you can get away with magdumping
Infernus is ok-ish for boss damage
but on this gun i might try it
But this is not really a boss damage gun imo
It’s strong for anti-elite and basically not having to reload
this is another tree with less baked in damage
is crit on perks standard for the gun
maybe that's what im missing?
Yea
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a90b4dc-f331-4a40-b334-6f29a5a97470/indomitable-commissar-crittanksupport good build generally speaking?
Headhunter + Dum Dum if you're not using Reciprocity
Dum Dum + Deathspitter with Reciprocity
Dum Dum + Infernus with Reciprocity if you dislike Deathspitter
Headhunter + Infernus without Reciprocity if you dislike Deathspitter
don't touch the other blessings imo LOL
Yep
5% crit chance perk is really good for recon & infantry autogun
i have reciprocity, i dont like death spitter am on dum dum infernus
maybe my hopes were to high
Carapace is funny on the Recon Mk VId/Recon Mk XII for shredding Crushers extra fast with Onslaught/Rending Strikes
i dont like the idea of toughness regen but this is one of them ig
is tough regen speed worth it on vet relics? Working on the basics to get back into the game
Is it worth swapping unyielding for carapace?
That's fair I'm also not really a fan of Deathspitter outside of the Recon Mk VIIa/Recon Mk XIV
no

what changes? goal is to have a good allrounder with focus on team support rather than some of the very selfish builds i see
ok thank you what should I put on my relics
5hp 5 toughness and 20gunner or sniper resist
i mean i disagree with using the laspistol to generate toughness, I prefer the plasma: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9c4013c8-2411-40b7-b11b-d7dca0c52b62/healing-vet?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button
toughness, combat ability regen [only if you want] maybe health, and 5% toughness
but again I dont like the idea of generating toughness peroid
Quit ya crying there are weirdos out there who don’t even have proper builds put together
oh yeah theres the issue then; i hate plasma
mostly because you have toughnes DR
U don’t need deadshot for this gun
does anyone know what percentage point a power sword gets its 4th dodge at?
it might be effective but ive tried it before, feels awful to use
for me i mean
the only reason i can play this shit is because of deadshot
deadhsot is bad on recon imo
Deadshot, Reciprocity, Opening Salvo and +5% crit chance perk on weapon sounds hilarious LMFAO
wait 1 sec
Is that the weakspot talent?
what is that
Why the fuck are you using deadshot on las recon
wtf
70% crit chance?
No, it drains ur stamina for crit chance
same ttk without deadshot
Oh
LMAO
so what can i do for an allrounder with focus on team support build without getting plasma gun lol
75% crit chance with the other 5% crit chance talent node in the tree too
Fuck you are one of those weirdos


Tbh I feel like Deadshot requires Target Down + Duck and Dive to make it feel ok on the Recon Mk VId/Recon Mk XII because of how fast it drinks through your stamina otherwise
so 55% crit with reciprocity stacked
You need a reliable way of getting it back quick
got both
U don’t rly need it because infernus stacks to 12 stacks (max) in 3 hits
Deadshot doesn’t matter much in that situation
deadshot requires a lot of things to line up to work
I cheer you on Deadshot fiend
im just being dumb
Deadshot is one of my fav talents LOL
my absolute favorite
its just free damage
i also dont like the idea of having to juggle stamina on a gun like the recon
It feels like juggling another resource in a fight and it feels really fun to play around
If its not dumb is it fun?
It's just extra unwieldy on the fastest firing gun in the game
oh wtf
Yee
4 per hit, max 12 stacks
Lame
Crit string is 2 shots, so in one crit you stacked to 8
But
no wonder it did no damage
also critting is mostly to proc shocktrooper, the recons dont have a lot of finesse damage anyways
You just don’t need deadshot (ever tbh)
aaah
Crit chance is important for Shocktrooper synergy (and just general damage boost)
okay okay im learning
Deadshot is a bad pick in 95% situations
you shut your filthy mouth
Isnt it good on hellbore?
It's a very fun talent
Take off the plus 10% extra rending it’s not that good
I don’t enjoy the crit farming aspect of it
yeah deadshot is bad i refuse to believe that people are not coping taking it 😔
But it's going to get you killed unless you like juggling and know how to do it well
Which shovel is best? And what blessings are best?
wdym it's fine on stuff like Shotguns, Helbores, even Infantry Lasguns imo
rending is extremly important on lasguns due to having low armor pen
it also stacks with onslaught
It's really not as big a detriment to juggle stamina as it seems as long as you use it with Target Down and/or Duck and Dive
rending benefits smaller hits
it is slightly noticable
it's just extra difficult to juggle with automatic weapons
Recon las is one of the guns that doesnt need a keystone btw
it's sorta just free crit if you don't run yourself dry on stamina LOL
Eh I would personally recommend getting determined
If anyone uses shovel could you tell me which one is best / which blessings to use?
Onslaught by itself Is a powerful
i see why ppl clowned on it
It's the clown's choice award weapon in my heart always
try Standard MK1 with Flak/Maniac and Uncanny Strike/Decimator
nah, onslaught is kinda cope talent it just works well with recons because it stacks fast and has a large clip size
key stone is strictly for stamina, it just happnens to give me more damage than the other choices
onslaught really is just there to help you deal with 10% of enemies

that's it

Huh
Vraks V has 3 crit string
This gun has 2 crit string
Hold up are you guys talking about the previous columnus for infantry auto guns
doesnt it affect burn too tho|?
well its also a small damage boost on maniacs, flak and unyelding
so it works
And Vraks V has very high finesse modifier
Recon does not
That’s now named vraks
wdym it helps with ADM vs Carapace and Unyielding, improves your damage vs Flak and Maniac too
Remind me of the best blessing/perk set up for the bolt gun somebody, i got everything unlocked for a ranged set up
ye
the Recons have a 0.5 ADM vs Maniac iirc
so it's also helping you there vs Ragers/Muties
Recon finesse only does like 30% more damage, it’s very low
yes but the small damage increase doesn't jusitfy 4 talent nodes t get to it
it's not changing TTK much vs squishier targets
the main reason you take onslaught is for crushers
Flak + maniac
Pinning fire + puncture/surgical
but it is absolutely improving your ADM vs the vast majority of specials/elites including bosses
Well I guess I’m a clown then because I love that gun
Many thanks
She still my go too
the only ones it's not really helping against are the Dreg Gunners/Dreg Shotgunners
For my vet
but they die really fast anyway
maulers scab ragers
included
Nah, it’s just crusher
no, maulers can be killed easily on the chest
Rending Strikes + Onslaught trivializes the ADM woes Recons have vs a lot of things
Onslaught doesn’t change TTK for those enemies by that much
oh no if you love columnus you are a king
ragers are not difficult to kill with ranged weapons if you have maniac on them
Onslaught has a very noticeable change on TTK/DPS vs bosses
it's a very worthwhile pick on the Recon Mk VId/Recon Mk XII
I wouldn't grab it on the VIIa/XIV though
and it's kinda eh on the II/VIc
I wouldn't go out of my way for Onslaught on the II/VIc tbh
like I said onslaught's damage doesn't jusitfy going 4 nodes to it when you can use those to get damage elswhere
i reckon it would be much slower without rending onslaught
the 4 nodes you get are really good nodes though
stam regen delay, either Duck and Dive or Close Quarters Kill Zone
u can't take recip which is what u need for recon
the only bad thing is pathing to Weapon Specialist
Without deadshot, u also don’t need target down
melee is ehh
yeah you can
what does your tree look like that you can't afford Recip?
it's within 1 point
if you're already in right tree you're right there
ok but u still need to waste another point to get it
it's literally next to the 5% melee node above it
yes I am aware?
yeah that's not a big deal imo
but it is not pathing towards onsalught
the funny Recon shredding build is talent tax expensive but if you decide not to grab the important bits you might as well not be using the Recon
when I am saying u need to waste nodes I am talking about the nodes required to get to onslaught
I don't see it as wasting imo
dead shot legit doesnt do much for it
uuugh this gun
dont care that isn't what I am talking about
the only waste is if you path to Weapon Specialist through Onslaught because it's Skirmisher and that's eh
the talents you have to take to reach Onslaught are all good talents and worth having
Drop deadshot, drop target down & focus target
the only node that isn't a waste to get onslaught is the stamina delay
Deadshot is bad 95% the time, this gun is not within that 5%
idk Duck and Dive and/or Close Quarters Kill Zone are both good nodes imo
Duck and dive is goated lmao
they are ok, but in comparison to nodes like focus target, desperato, recip, bring it down, hell even longshot
Why desperato on recon
the extra stam is nice during fights whether you're on the Recon or using the stam for push attacks and that's such a massive QoL change for using Knife or Rashad when bullying a bunch of Ragers into stagger
or utility like field
they have about the same time killing enemies
i just didnt have to use my ability for it
Longshot is bad
is veteran still the OpClassTM
do not
You don’t need to aim headshot on mauler
hey what perks for infernus + headhunter recon?
it's providing almost no value in the vast majority of engagements and the few times it adds damage it isn't going to noticeably change your breakpoints
flak+maniac?
Longshot is ass
it's just fluff damage if you're across a room shooting at a boss
5% crit chance + flak
kk
yeah I know it is ass, but it is better than 5% melee 💀
Longshot is never worth taking ever tbh but Exhil Takedown is fun so I cope
5 critchance and unyielding or carapace
No
Longshot is way worse than 5% melee damage
yes 
if using this build and this beauty of a weapon that that is still my dear faithful mk V autogun than i am a clown
5 melee damage can actually change breakpoints, Longshot is not doing anything
Longshot for the Recon is kinda silly and not worth spending the talent point
It’s just a total waste of a point
maybe if you're way behind the team and they aggro a bunch of Crushers it might slightly help you as you spray from so far away
it's not worth taking
yeah long shot kinda bad
there are way more impactful nodes
anyone got a link to a mod to increase loadouts beyond 5?
It’s not “kinda bad”, it’s “dogshit”
+0.6% ranged damage at 13m, yea sure that’s definitely worth spending 1 point
no no mk5 is a goat
I think Longshot needs a rework too tbh
oi sneaky cat think i'll be joining you in the clown department bud
it's just too weak right now to justify
for a talent tree that focuses heavily on the recon i can see it more valuable since u are putting all of your eggs in that basket
but again why would I waste points towards onslaught if I can get 5% melee and recip and bring it down and desperato?
daaayum, that low?
i didnt know the numbers i just knew it felt bad to use
did you see the new episode of Digital Circus or do you mean you're taking up Recons too?
taking up recons
welcome to the Recon team
Because they changed close range from 8m to 12.5m, Longshot now only activates at 12.5m+
It’s just horrible now
bruh
creating new problems by solving old ones is crazy
why this look like gtfo even tho i know its not
smth like this ig: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9c39a0c4-39ed-417d-bb6d-838991d8fb09/femboy-vet?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button
BUT WHY NOT JUST GET FOCUS TARGET?!
im upset
because I would rather have melee nodes than focus target
It's already very talent tax expensive because you need to dip your talents deep into all three parts of the bottom tree. Shocktrooper, Rending Strikes and Onslaught are important and massively change how the gun feels/plays. If you drop Onslaught you no longer have the ability to shoot Crushers and your damage vs bosses changes noticeably too. It also slightly affects DPS/TTK vs Flak/Maniac and that sorta encompasses most of the threats you'll regularly deal with outside of Unarmoured targets like Bombers/Dregs/Snipers. The bright side is that unless you worm it up hardcore you're comfortably in range to reach Focus Target or Weapon Specialist without sacrificing Iron Will or some form of grenade regen (Stockpile/Demo Team) and if you path down center tree you're picking up VoC/Stockpile anyway for cheap and can skip on Demo Team too. It's talent tax expensive but it's not that big of a deal tbh
also kinda valid
Depending on the build yeah I'll grab Determined
but usually I skip it when using the Recon Mk VId/Recon Mk XII
for infantry lasgun, absolutely
infantry lasgun without suppression immunity is unplayable
but also isnt this one of the few guns that benefit less from rending?
no, infantry lasgun has bad flak ADM
you can grab Focus Target and Redirect Fire and still get Desperado
it needs rending
aah
focus target imo is also hard cope at times tbh
you can path through Skirmisher into Weapon Specialist and get Desperado
it's flexible
because u dont get the full value of it the majority of the time
if you want to go keystoneless you can shove the 3 points where ever
nah i kinda agree, its only ever worth imo if you can grab one of the upgrades
for weapons that need redirect fire for breakpoints, no
otherwise, yea
Focus Target + Redirect Fire is nice
like, if u play plasma, u basically just go focus target
5 stack RF is 7.5% and 2 stack FT is 8% so at minimum as long as you're consistently pinging and killing you're maintaining a 15.5% buff vs whatever target you're shooting at
yeah in weapons u need to reach breakpoints, focus gives u the ability to reach them
but recon has 200 billion bullets
it's not 15.5%
because those 2 buffs are not the same additive bracket
is this a funny math moment
yeah LOL
I always forget which are additive and which are multiplicative
focus target is strong because it's "dmg taken" which is multiplicative to dmg and strength
focus is important in a build like this:https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9cee53c5-6790-478f-88b0-9e58dcb16bbb/infinite-ammo-glitch?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button
no Recip or Deadshot for Helbore?
Surgical is nice but like after Surv changes without another source of crit Helbores can slowly chew through ammo
i dont like helbore peroid
but the point is to show where focus is useful
but you begin to sweat toward the end of no ammo maels when it's orange and ticking closer to red LOL
Focus Target is really useful for team support with Target Down and for Deadshot memes
It's not just for breakpoints but that's definitely one of the best use cases
I can't imagine the 8 stack ever being useful outside of like
maybe Karnak Twins?
and that's a generous maybe
best part of that gun
I'm sad they changed Helbore bayonet charging
it feels so wonky now
still fun but it's awkward adjusting
deadshot kinda scales better with marksman's focus now
weakspot kills regain 10% stamina
it's just a shame that deadshot is not worth in 95% situations
and in the last 5% it comes down to point luxury
Yeah Tunnel Vision is nice but it's less team support vs Target Down and as nice as the weakspot kills 10% stam is it feels more comfy leaning into FT/RF for breakpoints on the Helbore still
stll 100% sure that dead shot was meant to be used with target down
it feels natural
especially with duck and dive
after marksman's focus's subnode got changed, it just gains stamina better
10% for every weakspot kill vs 10% for every tagged enemy killed
it doesn't say ranged weakspot kill either

It's extra fun using Deadshot while running MF/CitA/TV with the Recon Mk II/Recon Mk VIc
probably one of my fav playstyles atm
nvm it is only ranged weakspot kill
still more efficient than target down
was about to say
spray head height and enjoy extra rending and stam gain for just shooting
target down also ahs the benefit of just taking focus target which doesnt need prior kills
i rather middle grounds than peaks you can fall off of
CitA and Rending Strikes feel really good on the Recon Mk VIc and Recon Mk XIV since Onslaught is so eh on them
Yeah it's nicer being able to start fights at your breakpoints instead of needing to work up to them with MF
if there's downtime between fights and you're sprinting around the stacks are gone
but the buff to MF duration has been really nice
less hectic juggling
that's my main complaint with MF
I wish MF was just
u have 10 stacks, but drop them if u hit non-weakspot
gain with weakspot kill
that'd be so so so much better
I feel like the duration buffs are a bandaid fix to a keystone that just doesn't feel good to play with
Honestly i think they should just make it like dd
I think it needs a rework
decay quickly one at a time, but earns simply (weakspot hits against larger enemies and weakspot kills in general)
nah cuz vet cares about consistent breakpoints, DD still has fluctuation
and psyker is inherently more RNG (crits) & doesn't care about breakpoints all that much
Ehh then MF should just get a whole rework
It sorta needs it but idk if Fatshark has it on the radar at all
They at least knew it was a very unpopular pick when they buffed the duration
I think zealot will be the next major changes
well yea, I think my proposal is pretty good
Fotf can easily be stretched out to have more optional nodes and defat the main ability
u just have stacks that decrease when u hit non-weakspot
but gain them back with weakspot hits
it still encourages u to hit as many weakspots as u can
but u get the full benefit at the start of fights
Like the one sniper rifle in teamfortress 2?
it's still a very unpopular pick
I don't see many people use it
left side veteran talents still need work imo
killzone still meh
I wish I could get shock trooper without having to go through fully loaded
plx lets not give rng to vet
I think it's the most unpopular keystone for sure but idk if left tree is the most unpopular side of the Vet tree
some people still lean into Surv Aura and after the change to Exe Stance people have been running it more lately
You get stacks from weakspot hits (elites and up) and weakspot kills from anything and just lose stacks quickly but one at a time
still is
that SHOULD be how most stacks work in thins damn game
plus Shredder Frags will always have the Grenadier Lethal Proximity meme and even outside of that they're still probably the best grenade overall
It’s unpopular cause people can use it poorly and then hate it
You’ll see it with a vet trying out MF and they just crab walk everywhere or standstill
and I think that's probably consistent across all difficulties
no I just don't like having to have already killed things to get my dmg bonus that are supposed to contribute to my breakpoints
I don't think lower difficulty Vets are touching MF either
but who knows?
Fatshark can probably see the metrics there
Thats why i said hits should contribute but only on mobs that show up in the kill feed
Is 4 still best devil claw sword?
I'd rather it just be a permanently up buff that drops from not hitting weakspots
question whats classed as elite exactly?
it's unintuitive to play and only interacts with ur gun
That's true but also even if you are both good at and also like juggling and maintaining stacks it still feels awkward starting fights at 0 stacks if MF is where you're finding breakpoints
I don’t think any keystone is just a straight buff
shotgunner, rager, mauler, gunner, crusher, bulwark, reaper
There has to be a gimmick
yea, my proposal is "hit weakspot to maintain ur max killing efficiency"
Any enemy that's normally found patrolling the map is the easy way to remember it
