It’s active basically at the start of fights and that’s it
I think it needs to at least be able to stack through sliding
Bolt Pistol is absolutely goated on a weapon swap build btw
It's good. I can't tell you it's great, but it's good
And it's also very very fun
It’s ok
not taking extra nade and tinkerer for the ultimate nade spam experience smh
Can’t afford with Rashad
😭
bolt pistol grenadier builds use shredder nades
if i make a grenadier build, i'm going to go all out
so 4 shredders 
grenader tinkerer, 2x grenade regen
field improv
Yeah! I am also completely in love with doublebarrel weapon spec. Gonna bust my Q key running that load out.
what it do
+20% crit chance on dodge
how good is the crit damage then
extremely
to be fair, a potential +25% attack speed on any melee weapon would likely make it good :p
feels like i mow through hordes faster than with knife
Uncanny strike and change your weakspot damage to flak damage.
Weakspot and crit perks are terrible on weapons.
Uncanny 
im confused
So, dueling sword is best on veteran or zealot?
for veteran? depends on what you're trying to do. Personally, I don't like the dueling sword on vet because when shit hits the fan and i'm surrounded, i wan't something that can clear hordes easy
Zealot imo
Vet has the Psword which has most of the damage burst of dueling sword without sacrificing horde clear
Scales better for zealot
i think dueling sword is good weapon for vet if you only want to put 2 points into bottom right hand side of tree (reciprocity and desperado)
power sword functions well without any investment down that tree
Duelling sword doesn’t even need those to hit breakpoints
Thanks! Want to create a vet or zealot, playing ogryn mostly but cant decide. Tried both, zealot seems better than vet at most of the things plus immortality
Those 2 nodes are just good and they help
hah.
Low skill floor, high skill ceiling moment.
You'll get used to it
Ogryn with aurics plays super smooth, but maybe I liked the mobility that zealot gives. 😄
if you are prone to having the zoomies, then yeah zellies
Veteran has the worst stamina management by default so it could be that
Could try weapon specialist builds on Vet if you want to move faster
But veteran scales higher in terms of consistently hard hitting melee
Ah, thanks again. Just loving playing as guardsman
A lot of people also mistake veteran as the “ranged class” which is untrue
Psyker is the “ranged class”
If only we could execute our allies for a +100% attack speed buff 😔
Veteran is the “melee & ranged hybrid class”
yes
Isnt zealot also a hybrid one? They have bolters and what not
Zealot is primarily melee
they're more melee
zealot is less hybrid than vet
somewhat healing
Ah yeah, I wonder how bolters differs on both
Boltgun on veteran: kill everything
Boltgun on zealot: magdump crusher, elite wave & boss
I assume bolter on zealot is just bosses and gunners
you could still become john wick on veteran
Mostly just for carapace & boss
so adept assassin is bugged, is there no way I can progress it currently?
Are u sure ur getting critical weakspot kills on elites & specialists
I resorted to surgical on the revolver, no progress at all.
It needs to happen within WS’s uptime
yup
Which is 5s for ranged weapon, 10s for melee weapon
is dumping mobility or collateral more useful on the autopistol?
ok
I'd dump mobility
Heh what are the odds that rinda is still alive lol
She still is
everytime yo9u tried to kill her in terror in the dark she farts and disappears
Alright hit me with vet builds
I'm using bolter and powersword currently
But I'm only lvl 20
Im enjoying Brutal Momentum Headtaker Rashad a lot more than Dueling4
think i may have finally found my melee weapon that i desperately needed
the heavy sword
Howdy, it's been a... long, looong time since I've been around here, but I decided to get back into it post update and enjoying living out my Commissar fantasies with a Bolt Pistol and Power Sword. What should I be using for my Perks for the Power Sword now that we can truely max out our gear?
Pre-update powersword.
By the Emperor... alrighty. I think I'm reading all of this correctly: Melee DMG Boost over the Crit Chance. Power Cycler and Sunder is a good combo, but Burtal Momentum is also a good pick, and Probably something for more damage against elites overall for better combat damage?
Also what is s.PA?
prob special push attack
Southern Pennsylvania
Ok, so the combo would be push to stagger I'd imagine, then L1-L2, then push to stagger again if it's still powered. Fair enough.
for single targets, the formula is read as charge, block cancel, charged push attack, followed by two charged light attacks
^ Power Cycler makes it that all attacks in that chain are charged
So you charge, do the chain, recharge, repeat
special push attack
Right, just didn't know how to articulate that properly, cheers.
Lmao, gonna need to start breaking out the ol' fighting game skills at this rate instead.
....well doing auric damnation with a not so fully developed heavy sword wasn't the brightest of ideas....
Never thought I'd be doing animation-cancels in a FPS.
mk6 is pretty shrimple
you just special -> push attack -> light
that will quickly 2 tap a Crusher with that setup
BC means block cancel
oh mk6 heavy attacks are dogwater
you basically never use them
mk6 is universally regarded as the better one (frankly it can be considered OP) but i prefer mk3 because its more fun
I like Sunder on Mk3 since it's pretty much made in heaven for it but for Mk6 BM is probably better
I like the Mk3 but that's also all I got at the moment, lel
I mean it's not that mk3 is bad its just that mk6 is op lol
mk3 is very very good
it is a power sword
mk6 is also just the fastest way to kill crushers with some of the best horde-clear in the game
i was really hoping the mastery skin for the helbore would make the sights better
(also a terrible dodge which is why i dislike it)
are you on PC
yes
So...combat shotguns. What's up with that?
power sword is really just not fair lol
Slap a sight on it then :P
compare with rashad
They’re usually somewhat inconsistent
Can be fun
I like lawbringer for Vet since you can make the special shells work. Besides that I like the heavy fire one (forgot the name because they keep fuckign changing them) on Zealot as it's very reliable for CQC and can 2 tap all specials with No Respite any range
I hate Agri because it fucking sucks to use
I'm gonna do it anyway. Finishing these masteries for humans. Assault chainsword and shock maul as well.
I have good aim. I love how Agri just fails to guarantee 1 taps at random because pellets
I'd rather use actually good weapons thanks
I mean the fact bolt pistol has comparable ammo just blows it out of the water
yeah lots of time to load those things in at snails pace on aurdamn
Idk about u but i load them just fine
Okay!
Good for you!
I'd rather use weapons that don't need to be babysat to perform well
So basically low skill weapons xd
that I can pull out and hipfire a Trapper crossmap with
alright man
if you're so skilled let me see you play vigilant autogun then
U can literally do that with a slug agri too
U can always just preload one?
fuck this why am I in Veteran chat talking to this fucking guy
It’s still very meh
If slugs had better damage and it wasn’t inconsistent 1 tap after 10m it could be better
There’s only 2 things it does notably better than every other ranged weapon for veteran
this is one of them
combat shotties in general need some love 😭
combat shotguns should stagger everything except shields and crushers
actually do they stun maulers and ragers out of their attacks?
2 shredders + uncanny vs. a crusher. not too bad, considering you could really fuck up a crusher wave like this.
They kinda do
doesn't slug open shield in a single shot?
But it doesn’t matter that much
not special ammo, all ammo
When other guns kill
Yes
Magazine ammo Shotguns when?
do agri shotgun regular attacks knock ragers out of their attack animations?
Yes
tru its still bad
Boltgun takes 2 (with very high firerate)
Plasma takes 2 (slow TTK but high cleave)
Automatic weapons generally have ~2k dps against them
It’s half damage, half consistency
U could 1 tap a trapper at 14m
U could also hit for like 526 damage, aiming at the exact same spot for headshot
Which would be a 2 shot
And for a gun that doesn’t get a lot of ammo to play with, 1 taps matter
Every other low ammo gun can be built to one tap specialists & ranged elites consistently
Not shotguns
does full bore apply to the shot that triggers it?
Full bore only applies if all pellets of a shot hits the same enemy and doesn’t cleave through to hit anything else
It’s not a full bore problem either
It’s rly just bad consistency
They need better minimum pellet count values, or better per-pellet damage
Because they can only reliable 1 tap up to around 10m or so
And veteran tends to shoot at things further than 10m away
and whats the point of a tight-spread shotgun that can't kill past 10m
Is a slug shotgun
I wish Brittleness applied better for the Shotguns
This I believe
If it was the first then it'd be way more effective
I’ll test later
This
It’s not a brittleness problem either
It’s rly just bad damage consistency
You have a low ammo gun that doesn’t kill carapace particularly well, doesn’t handle mass elites particularly well and takes 2~3 shots to kill ranged elites & specialists
Just meh
Honestly it sounds like it needs a TF2 adjustment.
Even with agri slugs, I kill a Crusher slower than a Vraks Autogun
"There's a spread pattern" but the pattern is also extremely consistant and non-random.
IE the pellets will always fire out in this specific pattern.
That would boost the consistancy a lot, but again, same same problem right?
It doesn't 1T at range and is a low-ammo slow-reload gun.
The problem is less “spread pattern” and more “it doesn’t 1 tap when I need it to and there’re 4 other guns that 1 tap and do about the same things”
I think it needs to handle elites better and have much better damage consistency
I’m fine with it not doing well on carapace
That's a good point, it's one of those, "Why would you use the normal Lasgun when the Recon Las does it's job but better?"
It can 1T and can do hoard clear, but the Recon can clear hoard and kill elites/bosses without sacrificing the hoard clear, so why bother with the normal Lasrifle?
Sad times for normal lasgun enjoyers
Recon is not rly good at boss damage unless u run infernus
Then it’s just acceptable at it
Genuinely love my Lasgun, it got me through Damnation back in the early days.
Infantry Lasguns can use some help tho
Generational agony
But everything it does the Recon does better/more of.
Not rly
Yeah I miss my XII from back in the day, same with the older shredder pistol
Recon’s maniac damage is a lot worse
Maybe not by the numbers but it certainly feels/looks like it in game. And sometimes feel is a bit more important than raw numbers.
Maniac people dont believe that lasguns hurt you
And volley fire reload on cast ability
I also adore the Helbore, and I rarely see anyone use it.
Even I normally only take it when I'm doing Krieger Cosplay.
They used to be krieg roleplayer
Seriously why remove it, there's so few reasons to run volley over shout
As i love toughness dmg reduction and reload all bullet
Ogryn took vet job
Volley isn't bad but shout saves games 10 times over
I suffer critical willpower failure when using that charge up mechanic in combination with those sights
True, but if you need to use a Mod to do the Developers jobs for them someone's fucking up.
Again, completely understandable, and I'm right there with you. I love the gun, but the base-non-modded Irons + lenseflare + chargeup mechanic for not a much better improvement over the Bolter, Bolt Pistol, or the Plasma Rifle... why bother?
Hell, I'm pretty sure the Helbore for damage and accuracy is outdone by the Stub Revolver.
Well the zarona does more damage on carapace
With hand cannon
Helbore if I remember has armor bane?
Revolver best sniper change my mind
It really doesn't do anything significant tho
Wrong
You need a follow up shot in order to actually use it IIRC.
I need that mod
Weapon customization
It's the kickback with PBB 
Meanwhile Handcannon is just straight rending on Crit Hit.
No I run rumbler with PBB
Yes deal yuge damage on carapace headshot
And Weapon Specialist more or less confirms crit shots with Revolver
It's been a minute so I'd have to double check, but I'm pretty sure Weak Spot hits do not count as critical hits, that's still RNG.
But you can combo a Weak Spot hit with a Critical Hit for YUGE damage.
And you can do that with Weapon Specialist or be lazy and use Surgical.
I don't have the patience for Surgical sadly
That’s what I’m talking about surgical and hand cannon
Or take the better option and take Weapon Specialist and Point-Blank or Crucian Roulette.
Or crucian roulette
Yea I'm using Crucian
Gonna yee so many haws
Either way point being is some of the guns that I love the most in this game are just completely irrelevant compared to the rest of the arsenal at Heresy+
Nah, they’re all viable
Some just have more problems than others
Revolver still performs well in Damn no?
I miss least or most shot with agripinna
Ehhhh, it's a bit of a one-trick pony, but it can be really nice if everything is coming together.
It's not even an improvement over the Kantrael given it's charge-up
I just want to use a sidearm other than Ladpistol and Bistol
I'm just not a fan of these charge weapons. this is going to suck for me to level.
I mean, fair, but also who doesn't want to be a Commissar with a Bistol?
Then... don't? Just use the weapons you like and then buy-out/max out the ones you don't.
Just buy and Sacrifice
im trying to level all weapons for penances
I miss Autopistol meta, there i said it
I love that we just immedately discard the Laspistol out of pocket.
Don't even think about the mini-flashlight gun 
laughs in full auto mod
Full auto on my lasgun inf IV
Oh were free to admit we use mods?
Then yes, I use Full Auto mod too teehee
yeah i mean a lot of people here use mods
Ngl I find that fun as well, discount recon lasgun
All I do is hipfiring
Are there any mods for cosmetics other than weapons?
I'd love to be able to recolour some of my armours SM2 style
For the drip*
I had it long ago not really my kind
Is make you look cool only to yourself
Use third person camera you will able see yourself
I do not have any issues with people using Mods.
I do have issues with people reaching for Mods because the developers aren't paying attention and need a subtle kick/reminder that there's other weapons that need to be brought into parity with the other weapons or bolstered to make up for their issues.
Honestly, the Helbore should have zero charge time, a slowed firing rate, and do sniper-rifle damages.
Make it a las-bolt action rifle, make it the trench gun we've always wanted.
AND GIVE ME MORE OPTIONS TO PUT BAYONETS ON THINGS DAMN IT
that's is las-lock; single shot lasgun
Agreed
I want helbore to be a laser plasmagun, can overheat making it explode hehe
I don't think GW has las bolt-action
so I think GW one control weapon design
they give some freedom to FS
No freedom for us to have Hellguns like those Scab Gunners
then again, they're one controlling weapon design
I know, but the Helbore is the closest we'd get to a normal guardsman getting a hold of a specialty lasgun.
And while it's not true on-tabletop, in lore they're more like WWI bolt-action rifles. Slow fire rate, seriously heavy damage, and a bit more heft and pierce than a more conventional lasgun.
Waiting till Long-Las comes around
I seen animation krieg soldier shoot helbore without charging the bolt
they like semi-auto
It's figurative, speaking more to the actual rate-of-fire, not the actual action you perform to fire it.
It's still Semi-Auto like a normal Lasgun.
I used to call it Lucius pattern lasgun haha
Can we have that delay when equipping Helbores removed? Haha
holy shit i finally got my hands on a good double barrel shotgun
i mean not being able to counterfire gunners is still annoying but goddamn
It feels great even if it's not practical.
Nah hold to charge, release to fire rifles have always been a niche
Removing it basically just kills the line cause we have a set of semi auto lasguns anyways
I agree with the rest of the points, shredder pistol has been abandoned and helbores do need a bit of love
But i dont think making them boring is needed or helpful
luckily it’s good at suppression
Fair enough. It just needs... something to make it more practical/feel better to use.
Maybe the ability to charge without slowing down? I haven't used it in a bit but I remember when you were charging you were stuck in place.
If I could charge it while on the move and then switch to ADS, aim, fire, and then start charging and running again, that would feel a lot better, and make it feel different compared to the Plasma Gun.
i am not enjoying the recon lasgun supremacy
hey question
if you can’t beat em join em
the heavy sword what do you guys think of it?
I think it’s pretty good
A nice alternative to the caxe
more horde clear, less damage
what is it compared against the devils claw
It rly just needs better sights lol
It’s good
she still not fully at her peak yet but she putting in work
The bayonet attack have amazing stagger tho
someone who thinks that pigs can fly i guess
Use mk4 to maximize pain
Cant spam that shit because animations go crazy unstable
Carpel tunnel experience
the untouchable penance is there a cheese for that?
/gamemode1
It has better cleave and second target damage than the others though
They only unlock after malice irc
The attack input get clogged harder than a tacobell toilet
ok question
iirc dclaw has less than half its DPS
who the fuck would willingly eat tacobell?
Dont ask me
Ofc devil claw has defensive options
Bring stamina curio + stealth or shout. Hold the block when you encounter boss. Simple as.
Esp vs rager spam 
I’ve never had Taco Bell in my life
which melee does most deeps
the best defensive option is to kill the bastard
Which parry does
dclaw is better defensively but hsword special can chain stagger a rager
What does heavy sword special do I cant really tell ngl
If ur going for general purpose, either power sword or combat axe
Head attack that can chain into heavy strikedown
Cool that sounds great 🥹
Can the special break rager stance mid attack?
I’ve been getting good mileage from chaxe recently
Mk 8 or the other
Yes
Only hits 1 rager tho
Sticky chain axe is fun
idk what they changed the name to
Dont care Im gonna use old gun names 
Worst offender is IAGs
is the agrippina still the Agrippina
Got motion sick from chain axe when enemy run and you turn around to them tho
Yup
good
that’s fair, luckily the push attack-heavy combo doesn’t stick
If it didnt kill in 1 shot it aint a Zarona
so no issues with running crowds
Slaughter + Headtaker do be fine
I just spam the lights on heavy targets and they just fall over
If you hit the rager before they start swinging you can even lock one down
True
So since FS buffed thammer charge up delay maybe chain weapons will get that buff too?
🥹
the windup isn’t my problem
it’s how long you have to stick there for the final damage tick
The charge-up time wasn’t changed, it’s the post-hit self stun that got reduced duration
luckily neither weapon actually NEEDS their special
they’re both goddamn blenders
with the right build anyway
chaxe without weapons specialist and trench drills is kinda sucky
wow i'm surprised we dont have a chain knife in darktide
Got this thing in the fire version rn. It's alright. I'm generally fucking around and it's alright. Much more fun with ws.
Only thing I'm not a fan of is my talent spread. Gonna have fun with a grenadier build
aliexpress vibroblade
We need vibroblade as a weapon similar to power sword(but knife scale)
there even a chain flail......sure the zealots would have a massive (excuse my french) hard on
Are there chain spears
40k trash.
I know there's a power glaive in 40k
The fucken poleaxe.
Great Chain Axe
Longlas been in game files since forever
Zealot exclusive
One day…
if it EVER
comes out
fucking hell
I know there's rumors of a Power Greatsword as well
Probably what Vet is supposed to get
there a Chain Glaive
Force Greatsword is obviously Psyker
glaives are and i quote "A glaive is, essentially, a large butcher knife on a stick"
@spark helm
This update of making flamers explode on death is so fucking annoying
Pfffffffffft
really is, and the worst part is that they deal health damage even at max toughness lol
like bruh
why
explosion radius is massive too... because reasons??
you just gotta spam jump
Yes
People are always like “omg how can you cope with the draw time and reload time” but I spend the draw time on taking a moment to contemplate my hatred for the enemy, then paint my name on the kill tracker with the departed souls of elites and specials, then use the reload time on hymns of thanks
It’s like Plasma but cooler
plasma and boltgun used to compete each other
Nah Plasma is what I take out when I am done fucking around
A lot of my game sessions involve me trying to have fun with zealot but then seeing that my team needs help, followed by switching to Veteran with Rashad, Plasma, Krak, damage aura, shout and tag
I then tell them to stay near me and this usually ends any fun the NPCs are having
Is there a table of contents/navigation sidebar for that Hammer of the Emperor guide? The Word search is pretty useless on that website.
Litanies of righteous fury 🗣️💥🔥
Do ppl use Deadshot with Helbore?
No since I'm not sure if they profit from it in the break point department
its stacks nicely with surgical
They, always explode when hitted on the tank 🤔
@tall torrent
How would you glow-up an infantry lasgun if you desperately wanted to get some use out of it?
Would it still have the niche of precision kills vs specialists and gunners in a game that is increasingly about killing horde and crushers, nothing in between?
That's...a subjective interpretation
It doesn't have that niche regardless, because the plasma gun, the boltgun, and the revolver, exist.
He's not asking what other gun fills the niche better though
OK and
And someone should link a good lasgun build, I'm at work sadly
Wasn't asking for a build as much as the weapon's perks and blessings
Usually any combination of ghost/headhunter/deadly accurate. The slower ILG has lower DPS but you can build on its alpha strike with opening salvo
P much what I already have then :/
Multi Shout Vets in Auric is just a life saver…
Anyone know when the guide says Melee DMG Boost, does it mean taking both nodes or just one? If the latter, does it matter if its the 5% or 10% node?
I know for some ranged weapons, it does say take 2x Range Weapon Boost but not for melee weapons.
Just do high intensity on malice missions. Then get the camou node with branced auto gun or recon lasgun and brrrrrrrrt.
500 kills/mission is possible.
day 356 hour 8 minute 41 of hoping that marksmans focus will be reworked into benefitting precision weapons more than bullet hoses
I did the crabwalking strat and just did melee into hoards
just crab walked an entire mission
Almost, camo was the way to go for free stacks
And not lose them
ugh 806 kills left i have to get
still cant enjoy weapon specialist forced to get kills on weapon swap or lose buffs. i like to swap weapons around on my own pace
Then swap weapons at your own pace that’s what I do
Get yourself an Accatran and mag dump at head level into Poxwalkers hordes.
Suddenly becomes far less painful.
I know the dump stat for plasma is split 71 69, but which one can I put least stats into if needed?
Charge rate doesnt matter that much. While thermal will increase the amount of shots before you reach overheat
this is why you're having a bad time 
does anyone have mastery 20 on the revolver?
im really curious how the skin looks in game
Think about a Flare Gun
But it's red so it goes faster
It's a fat momma of a gun
If you're leaning more into melee then pairing it with something like a revolver or a bolt pistol is actually not a chore and I find it to fit in naturally into the flow. + Always ready just helps to keep things infinitely going
Or shotguns, and both buffs have infinite duration until you swap to their respective weapon
db shotgun works great with it
if you’re fighting a horde, get a few kills, pull shotgun, click, swap back and cosplay a blender
how did yall do the On Overwatch penance
call it a laslock and im in
Malice low intensity
is a recon lasgun with 380 power 80 everything except for 78 ammo 62 collat worth consecrating and empowering to max
American revolver 
Yes
Collat is the dump
doesnt matter
but generally yes
this is the no damage one right? grabbed a boltgun, found the easiest malice mission i could, got blown off a bridge by a barrel and instantly died, still completed it
dont ask me how it counted
i guess instakill by exiting bounds doesnt count as taking damage
the only vet penance im missing besides the obvious time sink ones is make every shot count
but i have a feeling i'll get that soon what with mutated horrors and double barrel shotgun
just dump all my ammo into the endless beasts of nurgle
Falling off the map doesn't count as taking damage
I help people cheese it by having them jump off the map at the beginning and I speed run the map
Yup
is vet best class?
Define best
Damage or Survivability
but how is it for damage and clearing hardest difficulty
It all depends on the hands of the player
Any class can solo the highest difficulty
You’re crazy Ainz Veteran clearly needs to be nerfed…..
You should have been there when ham solo'ed a 3veg on ogyrn
It was rough
Took him a week
Pickaxe, rush, rumbler, heavy hitter
Ah
It's very accessible since most of the damage increases in the class are baseline, so you don't need to actively have to be thinking about it
Easiest class to solo the highest difficulty? No, but vet still can. But you probably don't need to worry about which is the "best class"
But play something fun
All classes are strong
The only one that is clearly lacking is ogryn
It's a good melee ranged hybrid 
And by good I mean goooood
😄
thx
whats the best build / weapons for vet?
Only class that can viably build keystoneless
Most fun ? Probably weapon spec with a bolter or something
You could also say it like "Class who's keystones kind of suck"
Most useful ? Some kinda support/ammo generator
No
Not just that but the tree is also a mess. Lotta weird choices and point taxes
better than zealot
honestly the keystones dont suck. I would rather just say that Vet has good enough talents that they can substitute a keystone
one keystone is bad, the other two are good
yeah
Maybe it's more some are best stuff isnt in the keystones. Like If I had to choose between the two I'd probably take regenerating grenades over any keystone.
Marksman Focus needing a rework
i use marksmans focus it seems fine
its just not good outside of infantry guns basically
That’s it’s issue
It’s only benefiting one weapon
Ok so
Knife
Rashad Combat Axe
Power Sword 6
Heavy Sword 9
Shovel Standard of 7
Dueling Sword 4
Vraks Infantry Auto Gun
Plasma Gun
Boltgun
Bolt Pistol
Zarona revolver
Then a combination of other builds that will need more time to discuss, unfortunately I have no time to do so
I can't wait to never use Marksman's Focus again. xD
Vs like FT and WS when it’s generally over all good
marksmans focus on the spreadshot shotgun is fun
even then i'd rather just take FT tbh lol
I'm at the like 1500/2500 range of it, and I just can't anymore.
You forgot the recon !
So sick of just holding the lasgun into crowds.
I’ve come to a conclusion that the stacks decaying is just generally unenjoyable
And is what’s really killing it
I’d rather be punished for missing Weakspots
I think walking should be acceptable with it. No parkour, no running. Just walking, like a terminator.
Same
You can - if you get weakp kills
Yeah but like down time till next horde when you really need it
It’s at
1-3 stacks
Most
^
Thing is you shouldn’t need it for hordes
stacks should build off melee
But how else am I supposed to build stacks and get kills so I can never use it again?
what guns are you using that cant 1-2 shot shooters or poxwalkers with precision strikes
80% of DT is hordes
but only apply for ranged
Only time it’s appropriate to brainlessly mag dump into them is for the stupid penance
Lmao
You should not be doing that
That’s an incredibly bad habit
I feel like such a tool dodging all over the place and trying to spray down poxwalkers on top of my face.
its not about that its about you guys saying you need to have stacks ready for a horde
The usual
Aiag
Vigilant Semi
Don't forget the autopistol!
we are talking about marksmans focus
It’s heavily punished via not hitting heads
we need weakspots
Keep in mind it’s fighting with WS and FT
Lmao the vig is just the imperiums equivalent of civilian versions of guns
i will make sure to mention that next time
Why would I ever
See y'all later
Still think that thing needs to have bleed bullets or something to give it extra identity. I don't think its stagger or suppression is enough to really give it identity over a braced or infantry autogun.
Would feel so cool to just spray all over enemies and have them bleeding out.
blue moon im going to give you a little build that might make this more fun for you
I've been enjoying using it on Zealot with knives, but it's also just knowingly inferior to something like a reconlas.
MF is very lack luster for the fact you never really have full stacks on standby for when you really need it that and the other two keystones just outperform it
That’s why it needs a rework
Oh, and I really wanted autopistol to have a push instead of a flashlight. Then Psyker would get to have the laspistol push on another weapon, too.
Just bonk them with your staff lol
nice
THAT needs a rework too!
I want a staff slam that actually pushes shit around.
I did something like that
I was also supremely sad that the build wasn't as good on the fire variant.
I just wanted to bleed AND burn them with constant crits.
zarona shotgun with manstopper and deadshot is pretty good at mopping them up without fire
Oh, I think it was on Scrier's Psyker or the crit vet.
Right, but it's not fire AND bleed.
Yeah, I'm like 90% sure that it was on Psyker that I did the Zarona bleed shenanigans.
Vet would be alright if I did the ads for crit node. I really like the double barrel with WS though. It's like that but without having to reload.
I'd love staff special that does a little AoE knockback
it's kinda what the kit is missing
Right? I'm thinking like a hockey-stick check. Hold the staff across your chest and slam it forward with some force energy. Kinda like the lasgun but fat.
Imagine a skin for the staves that’s just a lacrosse stick
Or a scythe
with a slashy re-motion-cap for its push animation
instead of a little pokey stab, sweep the scythe out in a wave of force that pushes everyone back or on their asses.
Way too much work.
They'll never do it.
you know you can just block his channel right
never have to see him again on your feed
Femboys live rent free in his head
orcka just needs to have a sloppy make-out session with tanner to resolve all those pent up emotions
what blessing is good on double barrel?
check pins for weapon guide
if you don’t wanna dig do either manstopper+flechette or deathspitter+both barrels
so is the portrait for doing 10 of the new modifier mission not showing up for anyone?
ı was looking at the wrong one lma
o
log in and log out - known issue
been using the antaxe combat axe with all or nothing
its actually pretty decent in a horde situation
Only problem with it is you'll be in a situation where you don't want to be out of stamina when you use it
when i use on IIb, it usually pushes a breakpoint at certain ranges since the gun has reverse fall off
as in, its more forgiving and consistent at close-mid ranges
what obscure numbers does plasma gun need?
69 thermal 71 charge
What does Charge Rate affect on the plasma gun?
Maybe it affects the charge rate?
You can inspect a weapon to see what the individual stat bars change
Is everyone's bolter just at 15/100
Ah so it's that little wind up before it actually fires the weapon
Yes as it does not have an ammo stat
no ammo stat
though mine is 15/125 
+15% elite damage AND I get my -0.25 stam delay?
sign me up
to be fair, you can get the 15 stack upgrade
lets you move for 5 stacks worth of movement
YIPPIE :D
yeah having that extra 5 stacks gives you way more leeway before you reach 0 stacks
crab walk is more fun
close enough, melk was holding it
funny thing is last time i used plasma was to do the pen that was 100% accuracy wiht no ammo left
can someone explain to me how to get long bomb, the shredder always bounces
yeah just throw it farther/higher
but then i cant see the enemies
Needs to explode in the air before it touches the ground
vid went poof
What?
its gone
Let's gooooo Tanner removed it 😤
sucks, couldnt finish it in time
Video deleted
darn
No longer i can dump damage on every wep
guess i'll try harder next time
and also remove uncanny strike
Quick question, you say in the guide 'Damage Boost' but you don't say specifically which.
I'm assuming weak spot damage because duh, but then am I supposed to pick Critical Hit, Elites, Groaners/Walkers, or Specialists?
There are talent nodes that give you ranged damage boost
The one right above the weakspot one
Ohhh, ok, nevermind I'm just stupid and not reading the guide right.
There’re 2 +5% ranged damage nodes (1 above survivalist, 1 below executioner’s stance)
Using this
I usually get both of those anyway so that's just on me for not paying attention I guess.
These are the stats
imo the 2 points for skirmisher and WS arent really worth it for recon + rashad
reciprocity and desperado would be much higher value
recip has nice synergy with shock trooper as well
Reci + desperado would provide more consistent critical chance right?
well that and skirmisher is really underwhelming while WS isnt particularily good on a high uptime weapon like recon. though rashad profits a lot from WS attack speed obviously
Also, is the lasgun good enough or should I swap something in particular? blessings department mainly
you always want dum dum plus headhunter OR infernus OR deathspitter. on mk XII, i prefer dum dum + infernus
unyielding is 'fine' since recon handles bosses well anyway, but youll probably get more use out of flak or maniac dmg
Aig so dum dum is a must got it
and then theres laser orca 
Will try out flak and check
What does dumdum do exactly? it gives more melee dmg?
Dumdum is a blessing for the recon
its basically a straight damage boost
dont worry about it, last i checked it goes out really far
All dumdum does is increase close range damage to the weapon who had the blessing
Basically yes, it does have falloff when u need to kill a gunner or sniper across the map
But 90% of the time it is free damage
Nice nice, thank you all
One more thing for another build
Whats better an extra grenade or full middle path keystone?
For bolter so ye no onslaught and got a few extra points
Got this or sacrifice 2 keystones extra stuff for an extra grenade
8 stacks of focus target is a waste for multiple reasons, save that point
U don't need determined, focus fire, or target down
Was about to ask that too, how determined works exactly, what does it do? what I get is that I dont get a shake or something when aiming
Got it
so whats the dumpstat on recons, stability?
It's hard to see without a mod called "crosshair remap" but what happens is when you aim down the sights and someone is shooting you it decreases your accuracy
Collat
aight
FUCK THIS STUPID FUCKING BLOODY FUCKING PENANCE ITS FUCKING DONE FINALLY
Colateral what do
sorry about my french
stagger
Ah
but recon wont stagger anything to begin with
Exactly lmao
Got neted too many times thinking it will stagger the silly net guy
Guess I need to fix my recon too
It's stagger, but recon has such piss poor stagger that even with maximum strength from deathspitter, it literally does nothing to a reaper
When are we getting full armor like this that matches
Bugs me so much the helmet doesnt match
And the matching ones suck
This armor is turbo buggy
It has glitched first person animations with multiple weapons’ attacks
I mainly use shock maul and knife and haven't noticed any
Knife mk6, H1 sweep has glitched FOV
You’ll see part of ur arm appear
In a weird way
Ooh where do you get that helmet
Scion helmet, it’s out of rotation now
what blessings are good for double barrel shotgun on a weapon spec build?
what's the dump stat on PLasma Gun?
Manstopper + scattershot/flechette
It doesn’t have dump stats
which ones?
Show me ur plasma build first
hm, want to hop into a voice channel or?
U can just send pictures
I mean talent tree
oh xD
Did u follow a Gameslantern build lol
think so
Ok step 1, don’t use them
ENLARGED ELASMOBRANCHII LET ME GIVE YOU MONEY
Yea, this one is horrible
Super popular, also really bad
It’s the kind of build people make when they don’t understand what talents their weapons actually need
i swapped out toughness regen speeds since its a bait
and i was using powersword at that time
what's a good recon build?
No combat ability regen yuck
I have it up 100% of the time anyway
Since Auric is littered with specials
what would you swap in/out?
these are the 2 base templates for plasma gun
Why is this bad? Asking because I have a similar bolter build
Tons of wasted talents, doesn’t understand what that chainsword needs, mindlessly stacks toughness, I can go on
chainsword is already a very niche pick on veteran and he built that variant wrong
VoC is playable with boltgun, but exe makes it much stronger
my hot take is that if u don't play exe stance with boltgun ur kinda better off with plasma
Thanks
boltgun in exe stance one taps most ranged elites & specialists even on bodyshot
and 2 taps non-ogryn melee elites
I use VOC for more crowd control and support, helpful to make enough room in a hoard to shoot an elite farther away
@tidal mantle if u want to take superiority complex, use +10% elite. Otherwise, use +25% unarmored (must have either)
If u go with superiority complex & elite, flak will get you better mauler 2 shot RNG and occasional scab rager 1hs without crit (enough heat for rising heat), whereas maniac can give u dreg rager 1hs non crit, and 1 bodyshot flamer at high enough heat for rising heat
if u take unarmored (no superiority complex), take flak so u still get 1 bodyshot shotgunners
yea, it's playable
I can see why
I'm just saying, it's much better in exe stance that it might be the highest dmg build on veteran
either top or 2nd
@tall torrent and for plasma gun, i go flark + unarmoured?
did u read what I sent
yh man
not well versed enough in this
do u take superiority complex (talent, bottom left)?
yes -> elite + flak/maniac
no -> unarmored + flak
u can also check out my pinned guide here
it has loads of info
so like
people say the best helbore lasgun mark is the mk V for the melee, right?
so whats the best mark for actually shooting
it's in the guide
cause ive been rocking the 4 for a while
Quick shots or decent charge shots
all 3 are good
charged shots, high single target damage
IV has the best target selection but worst charge speed
oh. shit.
id ask whats the dif between all three marks but im assuming you'll point at your name
I prefer the faster charging one (forgot it’s name$
i figured as much so i put weight of fire and sustained fire on mine
IIIa is balanced dmg & RoF
V is high RoF, worst dmg (misses a few breakpoints)
IV has best dmg, lowest RoF
IV uniquely has higher armor dmg modifier vs carapace and can be built to 1 tap crushers
yeah im sticking with the IV
takea a ton of investment to do it but it's possible
Has one benefit nobody ever realizes about it
im also debating between sticking with a 60% stability infantry lasgun cause like
It’s bayonet jab can Stunlock crushers if you aim for the helmet part
i like being relatively speedy but having low recoil to keep shots on target would be good
Dump mobility
If u want speed, use IIb infantry lasgun
aye, ill probably just bin it and go for a 60% mobility infantry lasgun
2 quick jabs with the bayonet can stagger back a crusher easily
That variant has the best ADS move speed & sprint to fire speed
i tend to use the VII lasgun anyway
I don’t think so
I literally just 2 jabbed a crusher 20 minutes ago and it works
And it staggered them back
Did u have falter
(Was last man standing)
No actually lmao
I’ll check
I think it was 2 jabs anyways I was kinda panicking at the end
Nope, doesn’t work
Huh
Then why’d it work when I did it….
Try heavy jabs maybe?
And you are aiming at the helmet itself, not the opening right?
Nope
Which mark is that?
V
Is that the fast charge shot one? (I legit don’t know any of the marks)
That’s the fast charging one yes
What difficulty did u do it in
If you have a link to that bolter build it would be much appreciated
If u can record it working and give me a replicable condition, I’ll check again
What melee do u want to run
High point cost or low point cost
At work rn so I can’t really lol
I think it works on maulers though
The stagger jab but your probably better of doing meat shots at that point
Or headshots since that’s enough to knock ‘em on their asses somewhat
Chainsword Mrk IV, lvl 30
(I play an ammo efficient crit vet build)
What are u using chainsword for
crowd control
with some elite killing protential
But I'll mostly be using the bolter for that
This is for heavy sword which imo does that job better
Chainsword is really mid outside of zealot unfortunately
I'm more confused on what u mean by "CC"?
Other than the Rev up how does CS cc anything?
Thanks, will try
He means horde clear
it kills them
the most efficient form of CC
dueling sword is actually just a CC melee option UwU
I cc the crusher perminantly
Who needs a Tahmmer right?
lol tanner who? that guy mr E has a crush on?
I think he meant to say thammer
triple checking, its maniac and what on the shock maul?
