I'm telling everyone involved with this conversation that it is probably going to wind up with somebody getting banned if it continues.
Don't say you weren't warned.
Shouldn't be discussed at all.
Representation = good. Bad writing = frustrating.
It's a violation of rules #4 and #11.
Well, if it flops, it flops, there goes my new Mass Effect.

meanwhile we have like 3 weeks left before FS go on vacation
I do hope for another mass effect but at the rate BioWare is going
we should, but the content probably isn't gonna be big
otherwise there would be announcement already
I can live with that I suppose
Would it be to much to ask the devs to give us vets a revolver style nade launcher?
does it exist in WH 40k universe tho?
all weps need to be authentic
I believe so yes
I want a crossbow
obviously I know nothing about 40k lore
but it would be kind of sick
@full nacelle
siiiick
No it's real.
Like there are machine guns invented around the time of ww1 that were mag fed upside down.
tbh I wouldn't mind if they put Vet on the backburner and focused on the other classes weapons
I have 20 vet builds and like 3 for the others
I just don't understand why they used such an archaic fucking design for it when we literally have heavy bolters and autocannons that feed through belts.
didn't it was said in the lore
that a lot is lost technology
and they are kinda forced to use some crap stuff
It would take 30 minutes to reverse engineer a belt feed system from a heavy bolter.

Yeah I see no reason to not use a Bolter. I just died because I was the team's only true ranged assit and the shotgun couldn't one tap snipers from a distance
I GUARANTEE it's literally a fucking mg42 on the inside.
Just about every modern machine gun is an mg42 on the inside.
you're referring to the Bren LMG
I dont know what the name is, I'm just stating that they existed.
holy crap I was curious what the analytics on my Darktide vod would be
Now the argument for it being "lost technology" just doesn't make sense because a heavy bolter is right fucking there and it's effectively the same thing.
I hate that mag
kill that thing
it's a sausage fest out here boys 
burn it in fire
JUST TOLD YOU THE NAME BRO
I thought you were wording it as a question.
I've been awake for 22 hours, give me a break.
no you goober
The Bren gun was a series of light machine guns (LMG) made by Britain in the 1930s and used in various roles until 1992. While best known for its role as the British and Commonwealth forces' primary infantry LMG in World War II, it was also used in the Korean War and saw service throughout the latter half of the 20th century, including the 1982 ...
that thing looks fucking crazy
bro get some sleep
Believe it or not, I'm like 95% sure it's an upside down BAR.
Like internally.
goober you need sleep
No we are talking about firearm design and it's something I plan on going to school for.
The making and restoration of firearms is what I exist for.
oh shit fr?
My body is a machine that turns stamped sheet metal into shitty AK clones.
I respect that. Love it when people get fully into their passions.
There's something really pleasing about understanding a full takedown of a firearm and cleaning it to be 100% effective.
On the same side of the coin, it's unbelievably frustrating to figure out what's causing a malfunction.
Sir do you have a sot
my passion is playing video games, eating food and working out lol 
The government can't be hurt by things they don't know.

That was a joke btw.
Laugh.
broooooo same! 
though I did skip the gym today to eat food and play video games
I goofed up
I like it but.... lol, going back to my old sword just to confuse people.
Though the temptation to add +2 Stamina on my Power Sword is there....
You will now gain 30 pounds and lose all muscle definition.
don't matter, still cute
alright I'm going to bed
gnight sahs 
ugh boy no extra wounds for ya boy
NVM
GN~!
After dying in TLOU 2, Joel isekae'd to W40k, huh
Why do you put stamina on a melee weapon
oh no
You must over use pa
trigger words for dorn
Massively
I mean, it works!
Go back to clicking rats
Well, i guess I work....
Crit chance on power sword, opinion discarded.
Hmmph!
I can live with stamina because of PA abuse.
But crit chance isn't necessary at all.
Just use WS
Is the power sword even serviceable without ws
With that horrific dodge distance
1, you are already going to delete everything you touch, 2, anything that could be necessary to crit, like a crusher, you're just going to PA anyway.
Yes, run laspistol as your secondary.
Laspistol can be drawn and used as a push if you're out of stamina from PA abuse and also serves as an excellent mobility tool and specialist dispatcher.
I use a power sword without WS
The trick is to have VoC and shredder nades as a crutch
It is my 2nd favorite vet build behind the coke addict build.
Stamina and block cost reduction

rat gaming
I dont use shredders with mine.
i run mine with plasma
You can't delete a boss with a Power Sword.
That's where Crit Chance comes into play!
And Weakspot Damage. Yea, I can go Unyeilding, true. But then I would miss out on the slightly enough damage i need to kill Crushers!
I see Stamina and Block cost on a weapon
ALSO, we're not factoring in Blessed by Nurgle buff too!
and I want to have someone skinned alive as an example
Yes you can.
You literally just PA spam them.

Yea, but can always do it faster~!
Speaking of WS, faster Crit Chance benefits from faster attack speed too~!
I think I am going to throw you into an active volcano.
Salamanders are my favorite Space Marines, so I should thank you.
people just forgot they are logged into Darktide and not Vermintide 2

Nope. Theyre mine. Find your own.
Power Swords are good
They're amazing....
Are you also a Thousand Sons fan?
Lol
Yes, I'm totally a fan of the dust-in-armor.

This one right here, commissar.
Bring the Vacuum.... THE HEAVY VACUUM
unironically just run unyielding and cara
Then how can i pop Maniac Rager's head!?
You shoot him.
If they're hugging you, you can't charge your Power Sword without getting tapped. So you have to PA him without powering it up!
Oh right, i forgot i can shoot.
Hey, I love melee too much! Shooting is literally the worst part of Danktide. Does not help that i miss my shots too!
I like the shooting
running 5% crit as your way to deal with ragers wouldn't help you that much anyways
Is it just me or does it feel that powercycler on the powersword has a 15% to not commit to more than just the activation sweep?
Have you considered hitting them, then?
Where's the fun in that!? To not meet them face to face head on!? Faith and Skill vs Drugs and Heresy!? I'm putting the money on the former, me~ ❤️
Regardless, I still do my part~! +
Yeah, not considering it anymore. I'm going to throw you into an active volcano.
1v1 me in Darktide!
Pretty sure i 2 shot crushers with just elites on my ps actually
Can with Weakspot Damage too.

That's why i can't run my +2 Stamina
you could actually just run elites and unyielding if you just want to deal with bosses, ragers and crushers
The Deviously Placed Barrel on Gloriana:
Yea.... but then i can't crit.
running crit perk on power sword is just unhinged
Crit has a nice orange color and a sound.
Think about it
25%~!
So if i were to swing 1000 times, I would only crit 250 of those.
Without it, 200...
See, math is amazing!
wow so instead of critting 4 out of the 20 ragers, you crit 5 out of the 20 ragers.
I'm sure that'll stop them from killing you!
Mhmm mhmm.
Over kill so useful
ok do it
Oh yea, got to make sure they don't get up. x3
REGARDLESS, it's fun.
I like the power sword and my build. Works wonders.
Maybe I am crazy...
unless you are a musketeer EN GARDE!
i should check if there's actually a rapier blade
for DS4
which of the infantry las guns is the best?
The green one.
Comfortable gunner 2taps.
The brown one struggles to get 1taps but it's possible.
And the blue one is icky.
also forgot braindead dclaw parry spam

You can't parry 12 ragers at once.
Stamina = gone.
its not its just misunderstood 😦
with stacked wrath you can probably oneshot 3 at once
24 cleave
tho better to ask Cole
Non-Psyker moment 
I didn't really pay attention before, because I have bunch of curios from before update... but are +3 stamina stamina curios still available to be bought at the shop?
And if not, how are you supposed to get them nowadays?
probably carapace flak
depends which mk
for mk1 that's what you want but for the other two you want car flak
isn't mk1 supremely bad one?
i mean yeah but this is vet chat so you never know
mk1 is perfectly fine. the push attack is pretty strong and gives valuable single target damage, while the rest of the moveset is perfect for CC and horde clear
the secret is that all 3 are the supremely bad one tbh
?
What is this blasphemy
I still won't forgive Fat Shark for nerfing shovel but not dueling sword
They nerfed the one for one weapon but left it for another
smh
yeah it's not your fault for liking the weapon, it's just poorly balanced rn
I can't even say what they changed either cuz I don't want them to nerf DS
It's just like c'mon man 😭
ds4 and rashad need to be tapped down but a lot of other stuff is in a horrid spot rn
I mean yeah it's no sword speed wise but the way it cleans through everything is kinda unparalleled
it's fast enough that i can take nearly no damage each run
Brutal Momentum + Headtaker
Run Trench Fighter with it
Literally turn the game into fucking easy mode
i mean if you have ws you already have tf
as long as you aim at heads you just get 4 kills per swing
it's just absurd
Some builds don’t take it but Rashad genuinely should take increased melee speed
Again baby mode
It’s why I’m running shit like Shovel or Heavy Sword cause I want to have an actual weakness against something
idk with auric spawning waves of like 12 crushers it feels like ass to not have carapace damage
It's good.
It's a bit worse than Rashad, but it's more fun due to higher attack speed and THE BONK
How do you handle elites?
I was running it with the Helbore since I was trying to take advantage of that cross weapon blessing rn
Seeing that it probably isn't necessary
which ones, anything dies easily and maulers and crushers are a 3headshot heavy usually
crushers 4heavies if no carapace
that's not even close to DS4(or knife), but you get a much better horde clear with rashad
Whick Mk Hs?
I was using the 9 I think
Spamming heavies
i mean rashad mk3
if you mean hs9
forget about carapace damage and unyelding damage
OH nvm
hs mk 6 superiority
I misread his og comment
np

Just don’t sleep
H1 - Special Attack loop
Crushers and Maulers are like the only ones that are a genuine issue cause of carapace
Everything else folds
that late huh
Duos eat up time
That’s AM I think
Yea special + heavy can even do... alright damage into Carapace
I'd rather use a HS9 than a Bull Butcher, for example
I've never used the Heavy Sword 6 actually
What's it like?
no sir, something like 350 isn't alright

...three fifty huh
Is that with Headtaker and Deathblow and stuff?
OH - what about the rending blessing?
it requires AoE to even activate and the duration is way too short sadly
Are you still talking about perks? Considering both carapace and unyelding damage is hot garbage theres only option of Flak + Maniac or Elites
Rending on hsword would be nice
but if you mean Hswords as a whole, i haven't usedthem for like 5 months i think. Having both nonexistant carapace and unyelding damage hurts a lot with possible (ranged) weapons choice and perks
Unyielding? I don't recall Unyielding being particularly bad
it is bad
try to kill bulwark with it, you'l understand 
then pick rashad, knife, or ds4, etc
Ohhhh you just unlocked some memories
You fool- I've not run a full mission with ANY of those 
800 hours in the game and I've spent a total of 10 minutes with a knife or axe in hand
Why?
...uhhhhhhhhhhhh
1100+ hours and i've never used plasma or heavy bolter (aside from a few missions)
Daaang
You should try the bolter at least ngl
Plasma is kinda based to have never used
But the bolter is hella fun and not too OP
i did it a few runs on zealot for meme magdumps into crusher packs
Funnily enough, I typically pair Hsword and Bolter
On stealth zealot especially
For which my friends are very disappointed
maybe when i'l get tired from lasguns i'l give a bolter a 1+ month spin
Hell yea
It's good and fun!
...Plasma- I kinda love plasma conceptually
But its overuse makes me not want to use it
...Even though I've never found it to be that good?
its mostly good because of its insane cleave
+damage/ammo efficiency per shot
- you dont care what type of target you are attacking
its literally effective against anything
unlike something like Heavy Sword
which has not only one, but two major weaknesses
For sure
I don't know how to feel about weapons that do well into everything
I imagine that's part of why Plasma is so panned by a lot of high tier players
It's just not very interesting to shoot everything the same
Despite its weaknesses that's part of why I enjoy the Heavy Sword though
It's got mixups, simple though they are
Sprinting into the overhead to kill a maniac or flak fella is always nice
And I kinda like having the bolter to magdump on enemies it can't deal with
This is most peak on Stealth Zealot, where knives can fill the role of precise midrange fire too
I see no reason for HSword to do such crap unyelding damage, they could actually buff it
Carapace is kinda okay, as it's armor
or they could bring uncanny to HSword

Yeah the Unyielding thing is a little strange- Jeez no thanks lmao
I feel like I remember killing Reapers really well with the Hsword
But then I think about Bulwarks
And I can remember hacking at them till the sun goes cold
Uncanny for Ogryn
(Would accomplish almost nothing)
That's not true actually - uncanny on the Bull Butcher could be insane
I wonder if it'd replace Tenderizer on the Mk. 4 knife as well?
...dammit, now I am considering what you said
well, too bad FS isn't considering anything like that

doubt we'l see any new blessings or rebalances soon in the game
maybe after another year
and probably another year for Autopistol to live in the dumpster
If they just add a few new levels, you can count me a happy man
Autopistol is S tier
S as in shit tier
what about the boltpistol?
bistol is in its own ranking of lmao nade spam tier
what is the best melee?
depends on the intended purpose
🤔
killing elites/armor/bosses? dueling sword
horde clear? chainswords, heavy sword, dclaw
something for both? power sword, rashad
in this I think i'd rec heavy sword over chain or dclaw
both are just in a really rough spot rn
true tbh
if we're being 100% there's no reason to run anything besides ds4 and rashad other than "i wanted to"
How is dclaw in a rough spot when you can just ignore a crusher overhead or go melee with ragers thanks to the parry? Is there something I'm missing
the one thing dclaw has going for it is that it's safe
but like, so is knife but knife can also do damage
power creep dont think i've met her in my life
anyone have a build for boltor veteran
https://youtu.be/R30mqpT7eNs?si=FV3T-lK1i4gDUl1w This build is good. And the player is good, so you can trust the build
ammo buff and cara buff were dumb
inspiring barrage?
You can take another blessing if you want something more offensive. Up to you. It did help him survive that big ass wave of enemies. I like taking puncture myself, for the bleed stacks.
okay?
Me when I see a slight deviation from THU METHA on a gun that breaks the game in a game that isn't that hard to begin with:
what the build those chief
yeah just going off at least 10 minutes of gameplay man is relying to much on his bolter to do the heavy lifting
the whole point of the video is to showcase how strong the bolter is?
Is telopots the incel or is that another guy
which other guy
Idk I remember one of the high level darktide guys is a 4chan type
I mean it's probably more than one but the one I'm thinking of is pretty open about it
tanner is pretty channed out
Probably him then
The one time I was on telopots server, it felt rather 4channy
A bolter video showcasing the bolter after the newest changes is being too reliant on bolter? Colour me surprised 
Real
If he uses his melee in that vid then ppl would complain about him not showcasing bolter enough
There a few gripes I have with this build as well I do for example why is this man taking the top 2 left hand side talents on vet
Those points would be better spent elsewhere where
Even with survivalist the bolter vacuums ammo
I’d rather do weapons specialist with knife and d barrel
Indeed personally while bolter is good and all it’s just not worth using
Cause of the ammo it burns through
I feel like zealots flamer or bolter would be a cool ability
Instead of guns or make them do overheat that takes away a ton of toughness

Boltgun usually wants one of the reload speed talents
Nah it’s very very strong, top 4~5th strongest gun on veteran
strong yes I’ll give you that but the ammo it burns through is a complete turn off
It’s pretty much Gunlugger but u actually kill things outside of ult
As long as you treat boltgun more as a DMR with occasional mag dump utility, you can make the ammo last without too being too much of an ammo goblin
And there in lies the problem
People more often than not that I’ve noticed at least on Oceana servers mag dump
can you get a perfect plasma gun with 69 thermal and 71 charge from brunt's armoury or does that only yield single dump stat weapons?
Then that's not the gun isn't it?
Could say the same for glugger ogryns
Possible, hard to get tho
I usually don't have ammo issues apart when meeting ppl exclusively using ranged
Depends on what the gunluggers pals are mag dumping into
Hordes not ok
High value targets 
Aside from a few outlying offenders, burning ammo too fast is a player problem and not an intrinsic weapon problem
Just personal opinion this is but you also gotta consider that the bolter at least to me has a very low ammo reserve
anyone got a plasma gun build that dosent use focus target weapon specilist looks dope since you only pull out plasma for elites anyway
If u take weapon specialist u kind of need to drop survivalist and take fire team just for breakpoints
Just make one yourself bro 
Trial and error
my vet knowledge is very lacking since i mostly play zealot and ogryn but wanted to get my weeklys done haha
Bring it down, superiority complex and precision strikes are a must
Superiority complex no
usually play with another vet that runs fire team already
but you think i should still drop survivalist?
If u have a guaranteed fire team veteran then u don’t need to drop it
Ok allow me to retract what I said bring it down and precision strikes
Thank you for correcting me @tall torrent
Tweak based on what u need
You cannot drop the 5% ranged damage node below frag otherwise u miss breakpoint
He wants it without focus target if I read correctly
Yea, tweak based on what u need
U can drop focus target for weapon specialist (no subnode needed)
Ahh ok my bad
Thanks man
And get 5% crit chance
Pretty good value
If ur melee doesn’t need rending strikes, can drop that for smth else too
Twinned blast is fun
I love gambling
Imma just say this inspiring presence needs a rework
So is born leader I think
Inspiring Presence is the least valuable small node in the entire game
Is born leader useless?
No, it has some value, but it's completely negligible with how strong say, VoC with yellow HP upgrade is
also any mandatory perks i should slap on power sword for breakpoints
Don't need maniac on ps. Rather take carapace
also is power cycler and brutal momentum redundant
Really you don’t?
That's the go to for ps6
got it thanks
Ps3 wants cycler and Sunder
Seriously you don’t need manic on ps?
No
Yeah
Fuck man
Born leader actually spreads the 100% toughness u get from VoC/infil
Which is usually 25~30 more
On top of D&H’s 50
Btw this works for plasma too. I like agile engagement with ws as you can tell 
Longshot placeholder for whatever you like swapping too
Longshot only starts to enable breakpoints for plasma at like 18m+
It’s really not good
^
I know it's borderline useless
guys i cant play with mods at all
whenever i patch darktide to load them i keep getting errors and it wont let me sign in
i can play it without mods so i dont understand the problem
Take this to the darktide modding discord server
fair
That’s a modding problem chief
Have you updated all your mods?
checked vortex, everything is up to date
What's the best dump stat for the plasma gun?
Ah I see, vortex is kinda buggy with dt modding so that might be your issue
It doesn’t have one
Check in the modding discord too at this point
its worked fine for the past couple months but its just recently been messing up for no reason
Uhoh
Would this be considered a good stat spread then?
Ideal distribution is 80 damage, 80 stopping power, 80 ammo, 69 thermal resist (enough to get 8 consecutive shots from 0% heat) and as high charge rate as possible
This is fine
A bit less ammo but overall not a big deal
Change the perks tho
I was taking the perks from a build I saw online
What do you recommend?
They prob don’t know plasma breakpoints
This is the build I'm following, with some minor adjustements to the perks
This is pretty bad
Use this instead

Plasma breakpoints are simple
Do you run superiority complex?
Yes -> elite + flak/maniac
No -> unarmored + flak
If you run superiority complex, which breakpoint do u care about more?
Flamer 1 bodyshot non-crit at high heat -> elite + maniac
Scab mauler 2 bodyshot (crit/rising heat stack variable) -> elite + flak
Gonna use this but sub out demolition team for field improv
Gameslantern builds are usually not good
This one is no exception
Nah
Depends on ur melee weapon
If ur melee doesn’t need rending strikes, u can drop that
Demo team is very high value in higher difficulties
I like running the combat knife but also the chainsword
Also shovel
Well my whole time playing has been not good then lol
Knife wants stamina regen so you’d need to drop both demo team & rending strikes
Chainsword is fine in terms of melee talent costs, it’s just overall very mid
Ah
Well, I might need to rework some of my builds
I kinda wanna get back to using the helbore too
Field improvisation is not a bad pick if you somehow have 3~4 talent points to spare by the end of ur build
I more so take it if a build I'm following uses a talent I don't like
Like demo team?
Yeah
What difficulty do u mainly play so far
Damnation
Even in regular damnation without modifiers it’s around 15 more grenades (?)
I guess the fact it has no cooldown goes a long way
In missions with very high elite/specialist spawns it can be close to 30+ like in C-I-VI maelstrom
200+ hours and still learning new stuff lmao
No it’s the fact that frag is best used in twos
If u throw 2 frags and wipe an elite horde, chances are, demo team gave u back 1 for free
And with demo stockpile giving u back 1 every minute
Ahhh
That’s roughly one frag save every minute
That it's reliant on havign a medipack/ammo crate?
No
The problem is that
Zealot’s best blitz is throwing knife which they can self replenish
Basically only frag bomb ogryn & fire nade zealot will care about the grenade pickup function
OK, that's fair, but that's still value that only really helps your teammates, and doesn't do anything if they're at full Toughness. There is value in that, it just isn't what I'd normally consider over just straight more melee/ranged power for 5s on ability use.
Ah
and especially not on say, ES build. Stealth might get some value out of it still.
And if you take it just so you can gobble up all 4 ammo crate charges to spam grenades, you’re kinda being mean to ur team lol
Unless you play with 3 psykers
Tbh I mainly take it for the corruption regen if anything
If anything FTE is more mediocre
It doesn’t changes breakpoints for the most part
FTE isn't amazing either, sure
That whole row is “pick whatever”
Born leader happens to be the best for VoC out of those 3 most of the time
How's the guide coming along, by the way?
Only example builds not done
Everything else is complete
Cool - really compelling an effort 
What’s the main source of corruption damage u take
Prolly just overall stackup, no concrete source of damage
Personally I prefer for the emperor, mainly caue of the extra dmg
Because only 4 regular enemies deal corruption
Tox bomber’s gas cloud
Poxwalkers (melee)
Poxburster’s kaboom
Pox hound’s bite
But I can see why you'd prefer born leader over a 5 second buff
Extra damage that doesn’t meaningfully make u kill things faster is kind of pointless
Staying in the trapper's net also inflicts minuscule, but scaling corruption over time
Really? I never noticed
most teammates are quick enough to save you
Oh yeah that's fair
It’s negligible because any time you get trapped you’re getting downed by melee first
Unless you got trapped in a spot your teammates cannot reach which usually means you’re lagging behind a lot
How's this look for a hellbore build?
Nah
First off what melee do u want to run
Usually it needs both horde clear & anti-Armor
Shovel
I'm not hugely keen on Exec stance but I'll see how it runs
Tanner posting duck
Unfortunately Helbore V can’t 1 tap flamer non-crit without exe stance
I run IV
oh then you're good lol
Oh then drop agile engagement
mk4 helbore does surprisingly good damage
Take marksman
Yeah I much more prefer it
I was experimenting with the other marks for the bayonet charge but couldn't find them as enjoyable
indeed
I don't care about the meta as much as just having fun with a build and what's the most comfortable to me
I find the Mk4 basyonet still does good enough damage to kill strugglers
Yeah, it's more so an emergency attack for me
obligatory "just shoot them" too
I more so followed this build exac tly and I still have 2 points left to spend??
Weird
Bren my beloved
Gonna take counter fire cause I like being able to keep the ability active by just killing ranged stragglers
And also demolition team would fit well with executioner's stance it seems
This is what I ended up with for my helbore build
Tbh I would take the 8 stacks focus fire talent but I find myself pinging too many enemies too quickly to get the full 8 stacks
Demo team is not necessary for krak, it’s nice tho if u rly want it
8 stacks is pure bait
Yeah
Gonna take supression immunity then
Not necessary
I like having it for the utility of things
Helbore has very low extra sway from being suppressed
suppresion immune is a double edged sword in my opinion
it can help but it can kill you
unalbe to charge
Can still charge
I guess I always had it on so I never noticed
Would superiority complex be good to use the 1 leftover point on?
It’s in the build I sent u
Also u don’t need subnodes for exe stance
Probably get One Motion
Helbore draw speed is cancer
Yeah it's...
It's something
I more so took counter fire cause I liked having the ability to keep Exec stance running for longer
But I guess the Helbore's damage is good enough to not need it at the same time
Step 1 of playing exe stance better is to understand that you’re not meant to try to keep it up forever
Be flexible
If having to melee to save ur life means dropping exe stance, do it
It’s not 30s when you almost always kill a specialist to cut CD when it’s active
Yeah I just meant the base cooldown
Without factoring anything else
@tall torrent Thanks so much for helping me out with this
I appreciate it a lot
One last thing, are these good perks and blessings to have on the shovel and helbore with that build in mind?
Maniac over flak for Helbore
Would take decimator over skullcrusher for mk7 shovel even though decimator is mid
Shovel does way less stagger than u think
i use mk6 knife with haymaker for hordeclear on my ,,sniper,, build
Would it be better on other marks?
anything would be better than haymaker
since mk6 still has a target cap and isn't nowhere near a massive arc
No because flamer 1 tap matters
Doesn’t have cleave damage distribution cap
Ah
So these are the only things I should really change?
haymaker is basically only for ogryn clubs cause they can bat away whole swathes of horde
for combat knifes, riposte, flesh tearer, even lacerate would be better than 20% chance to oneshot 4 human sized enemies when your best combo doesn't use heavies only
one shotting maulers with a scrath is funnier
Prob yea
Gotcha
you can easily combo them with uncanny strike to the head
to be fair, a fun build should also be good as losing isn't fun :p
What if he doesn’t really care about victory?
he want fun, let him have fun
Stop having fun in my meta game
If I’m wanting a non meta build c axe vet is pretty cool
Combat axe is meta for veteran
Like, top 3 strongest melee
Oops meant chain
Chainaxe is kinda meh for veteran
It’s ok
Chainaxe is just fun
Can clear if played correctly
Then again that’s with anything
It’s my go to if I’m not using the knife, ds, or combat axe
And power sword
:Bringing my Graia Braced Autogun: 
My comfort is tac axe for that carpal tunnel
But i don’t use the ps often
isn't taxe like knife?
i like tax on zealot, on vet i feel like there's not enough crit
spamming mouse
Huh, why?
It just feels like a worse knife to me
It’s good but I’d rather just do uncanny mercy killer knife

Nah
so you means knife has more use on heavies
while taxe just light spamming constant
The infinite dodges while twirling your axe around like a fantasy movie protagonist is just fun and easy
Tac axe is like
It’d be good if it had maybe 2.5x carapace & unyielding dps and you could run 4 blessings on it

It’s carapace is abysmal
Why does the “slightly smaller axe” have a third of the single target dps of the “slightly bigger axe”
that's a pretty unfavourable estimation tbh
If I’m running it I have to run an auto with that brittleness blessing
the shattering impact?
Onslaught is what I thought they meant
that's the talent
Yeah I can't read
Always knew I was a bit psychic
Onslaught is really fun, makes a lot of shitters good
So when are we getting the Stormtrooper Hellgun for Vet?
I want that 😔
does combat knife need rending strikes?
No
so ive wasted a point in many builds
Might not be wasted depending on your gun
Which autogun should I get? I have none of them.
braced or infantry?
all the infantry ones are good, the vraks has crazy DPS due to rate of fire
Preferably not burst fire
columnus is my favourite and agripinaa is slower and has more damage, very controllable if you have the aim for headshots, but less ammo economy than the columnus, which is the balanced one
for braced I don't know either, don't like them
vigilant autogun has one variant that isn't burst fire (it's semi auto)
that's the one I tolerate the most
What's the biggest difference between Infantry/Vigilant and Braced?
Infantry can ads, vigilant is high damage with low firerate and braced is spray and pray with high dps
infantry = generic space assault rifle
vigilant = DMR. does pathetic damage on body shots, a lot of damage on headshots
braced = big ammo pool, spray and pray, can't ADS
Thanks, getting infantry for sure then.
yeah infantry is very well-rounded
has massive damage boost on headshot, but not as punishing if you land body shots compared to viligant
Infantry Vraks is one of the best guns in the game imo
Got a 60mob one on second roll, so I guess the stars alligned.
braced has kinda fallen off
wasnt columbness braced the shit way back when
Infantry most versatile, traditional automatic rifles
Braced are Hipfire/brace fire, higher bodyshot but low finesse & dodge
Vigilant are DMRs, burst/semi auto with low maniac damage
think i remember it had insane horde clear
how am I supposed to use the plasma gun?
I want 20 mastery with it but I don't like playing it...
Left click for the win
no charge?
Charged shots are mostly worse than just left clicking
Use it for special/elite sniping and mowing down hordes in a line with the infinite cleave
Left click head
Left click is 50 cleave
Just buy a shitton of the matching grey weapon and upgrade to green
then sacrifice
Fastest is sacrificing green plasma guns
Neither, just xp. You could just not use it and still get as much xp as if you got 20000 kills with it
Dumdum + Deathsplitter for infantry auto?

I want to experience the weapons a bit, it's an excuse for me to test them out
Maniac + flak?
Flak + 5% crit chance
Also grab the 5% crit chance talent on the right (above infiltrate)
Also take reciprocity
I hated them when I started out myself but like them now. Give 'em a shot till level 20
It's a good excuse to familiarize yourself with each weapon as you said
yeah
the Crusher was fun too
I only got a decent roll and went around playing with it but it grew on me, now I'm upgrading the weapon and keeping it around
eviscerator, hammer and crusher
I absolutely despise crusher
those are fun ones
That shit does not work for me
What did u put on it
but crusher is the third one, less good than hammer and evis
Lemme check
Nah it’s top 3 zealot melee right behind knife & duelling sword
How much of a differnce would be it compared to by current setup?
Murder everything vs murder just flak & maniac
Also don’t take onslaught
peak zealot
doesn't even cosplay as a sister with an eviscerator (and a beard)
What melee are u using
Also are u like new to veteran or smth, just curious
My vet is like 50 or something, I mainly play Psyker and Zel
I can't get into the game 
Swap elite to carapace on ur axe
Evicerators would be good if they were half as effective as crusher
Hmm, I'll try both skilltrees and see if I notice much of a difference. I highly prefer being able to tag mobs for team damage.
Not entirely necessary
Focus target is only really good for weapons that need it for breakpoints (ex: plasma)
@tall torrent
Swap unyielding for maniac imo
Also use push atks more
Crusher’s PA is super strong
Aight I'll take my Zealot out for a walk next and give it another go
Could also be a talent build thing
I run this
Yeah that's fair, I used very skunked builds whilst penance hunting so that definitely plays a role
Almost done though 🙏
mk15 is good
really strong
mk3 is
not
mk3 is A tier
mk15 is A tier
It’s alright
ur really strong
great single target, good horde clear
ever think about that
It’s kinda ass vs ragers
chastise lights will stagger ragers
Real question is
6 Views. Watch ragers and crushers and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the #1 Game Clip Platform.
can just stunlock rager masses with lights
When are u getting around to testing grievous wounds
uhm
idk !
never probably
all i know is GW helps with mk3 evis h1 staggering ragers and thammer heavies
It’s ok
what is the best recon lasgun mark?
XII / XIV based on preference
Test it more 
I know grievous wounds makes XIIIg chainsword H1 break rager combo
it also lets, under certain circumstances, lights throw ragers to the floor on the thammer
Time for u to test it 
what are good blessing for the recon lasgun?
i will not become a path grub
Dum dum + deathspitter/infernus
Do it for science
its also ass versus 6 crushers

even if you got BT + Carapace
and if you dont, you dont even try
It’s ok if u have like 20m room behind u to fall back to
Like in the clip she showed
But that’s like literally every melee ever
usually you also have like 5 ragers 10 gunners and some trash mobs on your arse
and 2-3 bulwarks too
knife and DS4 can easily deal with that, but mk15 cant finish the damn animation
i'd wish there was a blessing like +100% rev speed
Nah
Double the rev-tick damage
That’s what chain-weapons need
its just take way too long
I hate the fact that most of them bank all the damage on the finishing tick
IMAGINE!? Make it the perfect boss killer!
It’s actually pretty good at boss damage on its own
It’s still pretty ass for duelling chaos spawns because u have to stick through the rev animation for big damage
It's also meh against Beast of Nurgle. Kinda hard to dig into their weak spot.
the damage is insane tho if you hit it
i think like 10k or 15k depends on buffs at the moment you hit it
but you need to bait the tail sweep first
and only then go for it
so it's still a time waster
Hmm.... a good buff would be to do more damage in terms of more ticks! I think it's 3 ticks and rip?
It's god like if you get a Crit with a Rev sword two lol. Stuff it into a Plauge Ogryn's face and go ham!
It's still a hard lose against DS4, you can dodge tail sweep, proc both precog + duelist and with chastise + thrust nuke it
like i know im on heresy but i have a blue sword with no particular build why am i oneshotting everything in the game
it's basically a slightly better knife
since you dont give af about stamina
I've yet to try the Dueling Sword with my Vet.
make it good for horde clear too
Nah
It’s such a cringe melee weapon
The highest damage build in the game rn is EK surge m1 spam on psyker
Yes we definitely do care
rampage does that apparently
i do not know what that is
i havent tried it tbh, it's either uncanny + riposte or agile or something
Got hit once
you're washed
Uninstall
it’s so over
Electro kinetic staff, surge blessing, spam left click projectiles at everything
agile is a meme
precog thrust, rampage precog
shadow wizard money gange win s again
are what u want
It has no reason to be that strong
i need a full talent build for that
need to finish
No
psyker penances are easy
I would prefer if ur psyker jumped off a bridge instead of playing that build
they were the fastest for me to complete
And psyker has the easiest penances out of the 4 classes
Cause psyker is an EASY CLASS!!!! 🗣️
Try saying this in psyker chat
Im dying on that fucking hill
me saying that psyker has such easy crowd control that with decent positioning you’re basically never in danger
Absolute meme to say that in Veteran chat
and then bazerker immediately getting pissed
Not that I disagree, Psyker has crazy strong options
But Vet is easy mode most of the time
im not even a level 30 vet yet, its my 3rd character im trying to get there
i normally play ogryn
Psyker is definitely the strongest class rn
Not saying it isn't strong or even the strongest
But Vet has comparable damage options and infinitely easier* survivability
*Easier, not necessarily better
IT IS EASY (when you learn how to play the game with a brain)
Veteran’s damage is not comparable to EK surge m1
Except maybe 1 build that actually takes some effort to play
Veteran, Zealot, Ogryn actually being able to live for more than 3 seconds vs Psyker
but Psyker can just fucking
I don't think one build makes a class the best
Alt F4 everything
Have u seen the EK surge m1 spam yet
Admittedly, no
Pray u don’t 
i like being big guy and pressing button and doing daka
o rsmall man and pressing button and daka
exept im using the plasma gun rn becuase its crazy fun
Overall class strength ranking is like
Psyker > veteran ≈ zealot > ogryn
At least rn
Weapons Specialist sawed-off gremlin vet is peak tbh
Yeah I would agree, I think
Im going to do something funny
@severe gale
She agrees for the most part
Ogryn needs a bit more.... more.
she
I love them, they're still my most played but GOSH
Mb
Pickaxe is the only good thing about them.
Ogryn ranged options are so disappointing
WELL, not the only good thing.... but, it's the only way to melee in a solid way.
I just think they got nerfed hard with the lack of Damage reduction being nerfed.
Double all ogryn damage see if anyone notices
So you really only go Heavy Hitter or Gungryn. FNP is just trash now.
And i miss running into a hail of Gunner Fire, charging my heavy attack up in order to get as much resistance as i can. lol
Ogryn could be so good if they had better dodges, more than 2 good melee weapons and >1 good ranged weapon
And like a permanent 10% melee atk speed node earlier in the tree without heavy hitter
Or buff blocking to benefit them somehow. I've played my Ogryn with 3 dodges for months lol.
