All I can see is a nerd getting mad that someone plays differently
Because you are just a God player right?
Ah yes and now the personal insults, it's a good sign that the convo is about to be over
Gwaahh stop fighting yall π

whats a good melee weapon to pair with las recon
yeah this argument is unnecessary lol
executioner las recon
curios are preferential in the end
Honestly rashad
The momment you need to actually hold yourself accountable to what you say and dig your heels
I'd really prefer to not read all this yapping blud has over a horde shooter
I think you take similar talents to a rashad with a keystoneless recon build
rashad feels a little inconsistent w/o desperado(?)
It shouldn't
Yes yes, projection, keep at it
The only time I find snipers a threat is when you're trying to do the objective and enter the symbols and they nail you while you're standing there
That is the most frustrating thing
Says the person taking offense to someone's preference
Offense? Where did that come from?
Your rashad should be
Max damage stats
Brutal momentum
Headtaker
Unarmoured
+carapace
U think I'm offended? π€
- damaging talents
I asked a simple question and you gave me the "just play better" response
When there are 5 snipers at once behind a horde, good luck dodging
Who is the arrogant one here? π€
There really isn't a need to keep arguing this. HP, Toughness and Stamina in whatever combination are valid in their own way and it's up to the player to decide what they prefer.
That's it
i like thrust brutal on my rashad. is that throwing?
Why would you put +carapace on a vet melee weapon
damn
If you wanna run HP curios, that's fine, Toughness isn't necessarily needed
and the same for running Toughness but no HP
All I asked was: "if a pox burster hits you, will all of the toughness or stamina in the world going to save you?"
i mostly liked thrust on my rashad because heavy charge felt funny to chop into
You responded with nothing
But your secondary weapon is probably gonna decimate the crusher from a distance and faster
Eh
ill try with headtaker
If you're playing keystoneless recon
- Carapace reduces like 1 to 3 hits on Damnation crusher.
I mean it's not the worse
There's always two sides to this argument and neither is inherently wrong
And yess
i considered heavy sword
Your ranged weapon will kill crushers
Bad vs crushers
Focus target recon melts a crusher.... Although bolt pistol and plasma gun are faster
The rashad is just in general like really good
what's the horde clear combo with it
Goes well with the recon too because you take similar damage talents
is it heavies or lights
Hmm
Hence why I suggested rashad with recon specifically
Tbh only melee weapon I've used much is chain axe mkxii, which I love
And I alternate between recon and bolt pistol
I love to use plasma, but crushers are usually on lower priority compare to reaper and gunner. By the time you wipe out the 3 to 5 crushes that spawned in Auric Damn, your gun is overheated.
so is that a sort of "use whichever the time calls for" heavies & lights or a "use this light into this heavy combo" heavies & lights
L1 H2 specifically
gotcha
I honestly feel like reapers are a meme enemy?
They die almost instantly
and then push attack for single target
AuDamn Chasm Logistratum with lights out

Cleared, didn't die, but good Lord I'm shaken
Yes, but if they don't, they deal quite a huge amount of damage.
That's fair ya
So many of my Auric games ended, with 5 reapers far at the back behind the ragers, they delete the whole team.
There are spots on maps that you just can't retreat back to deal with 1 type of enemy at a time.
Uh oh the heretics learned combined arms
veteran's not enough talent points issue is mean to me once more
I want the 25 toughness node so bad but I don't want to drop anything here
No, neither I nor many auric enjoyers are solo auric fanatics.
could drop the confirmed kill path and just do O4B and OTM
depends on what gun you're using though
it's knife boltpistol
grenadier build?
yeah
oh yeah i didn't go bottom right with mine
I don't usually either
because i wanted to take 4 tinkered nades lol
I usually use shovel with grenadier
but like I'm trying to use knife + bistol so I think I kinda just have to suffer being more fragile lol
knife is going to be hard to run well with bistol
i prefer to just run a less needy melee weapon and go all-out on nades
Just save screenshots, lol
behold
oh wow... that's.... interesting
I at least didnt want to be completely flamed when I did it. This was before the smoke changes
supposed to be suppression immunity not precision strikes please forgive my fatal error
Shredder pistol?
Nah it adds to the theme
You are running on Havoc even before Havoc release
as if the rest of the build isn't the problem π
but yes I did an auric mael with this
um
it didn't go well
which helbore lasgun is best at the moment?
But did you win? π€¨
if you can believe it yes
and I had to solo clutch the mission at one point
the problem is
Personal preference on your want on balance between charge time and dmg
this build does so little damage that it took 15 minutes to kill enough to get to the team and res them
But 2 have a bayonet stab and the other a swing
See Auric ready.
right, the swing just kinda feels awkward
I had to do a 15 minute solo clutch and still was the second lowest on the damage scoreboard π
I was playing with the mkIIIa and the mk5, they are both fine, but I might prefer the faster charge rate
But yea try the different marks. The slowest one can kill crushers easily. The other 2 can charge faster for other targets
Still cleared an auric mael. And people sweat about curios 
I am thankful that I enjoy hardcore meta just as much as I enjoy hardcore off meta and everything in between
All about the love of killing heretics. I'll play meta. I'll also hotbox the hive
except for the power sword.
the power sword sucks
I'm getting flak for this one and idgaf I hate it
I'm allowed to have wrong opinions π
Ah. I like it because its so simple. Activate. Swing swing. Activate. Swing. Prefer other melees lately though
I cannot stand it
I just can't do it
The activate swing swing is annoying enough for me but it's just the fact that the movement is so awful at the same time
The swing Helbore has one if not THE hardest hitting shot in the game
That's good info
more power to anyone that makes it work but I can't do it
I need my dodge and sprint
executioner stance is so ass in auric
The magic of push attacking
Has its uses
without someone to make space for you, its so hard to play
1 mistake and youre just done lol.
THIS
id be more comfortable playing it if there was another vet using voc
like I dropped long range builds a long time ago
or a taunt ogryn
you're just too used to VOC 
probably lol
but with trying to make a build using the starter weapons only I've relearned why I can't use them
dodge? you think i'm some sort of coward?
boy i will slap your ass into the jockstrap of the god emperor
Don't try hitting me with boo hoo surrounded bs
trying to handle like 40 or 50 gunners on mostly ranged enemies but 2 staff psykers and a zealot can't assist with 2 groaners trying to hit me
but then also my internet lagging back my shots
that was fun
firing 3 shots in a row just for none of them to actually go through
"dont try hitting me with boo hoo surrounded bs"
i'm surrounded by a bulwark horde, ragers our crack addict dueling sword zealot pulled, and two mutants charging me
anyways I've learned from my grave error and return to the actually good ranged weapons
while 4 poxbursters are coming
you sound like a dork.
but anyway i probably want shredders if im gunna play exe. plus everyone loves jumping whatever i put a krak on
Yeah because you're right
YOU cannot use Exec on auric
Oh well
Exec bad whatever
You are right
Well well
yeah I never use kraks anymore
I want to but mostly because of this lol
crushers dying before it actually detonates
Most of these issues stem from not using the bolter
read what i said you fucking doorknob. i said it was hard to play.
if youre not playing bolter
bolter does precisely what executioner needs
and I mean... veteran's not exactly lacking for ogryn damage with options available at the moment
full auto into a crowd and its cc'd or dead.
purple name forgot his bone'ead implant this morning
ya im trying out recon las exe because it kind of made sense? a lot of weak spot hitting from no recoil. im just trying to figure this bad boy out.
What mark are you using
mk xiv recon las
Uhhhhhh
bad pick?
Is that the one with the stupidly high RoF
naw.
at least, i dont think so? ive never really used recon las
doesnt feel stupidly high
XII's the super fast fire
playing into crit because its kinda funny
yea its funny throwing a krak on something then every zealot in the game chatises towards the target
The Mk14 is a great general purpose. The other 2 can be build into death beam.
and thats just 'oh im getting jumped' moments
mhm
but then they just shore up everything lol
crushers? a frag stuns them and most of veteran's good weapons handle crushers well enough
mhm
mixed horde, director decided to throw like 80 gunners and their parents at you at once
the worst.
snipers have also been finding hella cheeky spots to be in
along side 5 snipers
beast of nurgle caught your teammate that didn't know that burgles won't eat you if you aren't slimed
staggered
thats another thing, too
getting eaten by bon fuckin blows
but shredders can help knock ppl out
the obligatory accidentally knocked a monstrosity off a ledge with the grenade when I was just trying to stagger it 
but its also why i love voc a lot
lul
i did that with chorus today
got cliffhanged by a plague orgyn, buddy picks me up and i chorus the plague ogryn off the map
all planned
I've had a plague ogryn knock both me and an active daemonhost off the map at once before
I love this game
real
the only thing addicting so far is smashing daemonhosts
or nuking them
when i see a daemonhost and i didn't bring any of these build, i just see sadness 
anyone has a link to a good helbore buid with exec stance?
i was just watching a sniper build vid
hol up
idk if its good
Actually good gameslantern build, wtf
not the worst, but not very good either
its...
It doesn't suck
I am actually surprised
pretty much
is it possible for helbore to be amazing?
Does bolt pistol have innate suppression immunity like helbores?
The only things I can say to swap around would be
Heavy Sword 9 - Thrust to Headtaker (its free fucking damage vs holding Lmb)
Killzone -> Opening imo
Bigger they are or Counter fire its kinda up to how you want to snipe
aka countering gunners or specifically targetting big targets
other than that probably swap the curios around
I suggest a balance of all 3 Stam/HP/Toughness
thrust on HS π€
Sort of but not really
and yeah curio setup isn't great
You could do 2 Tough/1 HP
But I've been noticing a lot more effeciency with the healthy mix of all 3
i'd also move the longshot talent to one motion
It's already amazing
also i don't think helbore needs rending
eh i feel like HS wrecks shit anyway
idk if it matters, haven't tested
and it won't help against carapace anyway lol
its rending strikes helps a good chunk when you get Headtaker stacks going
other than that its a wet towel against crushers
i wanted to like HS but i dont like how it feels
i know dclaw is way weaker in the DPS department
but for some reason, dclaw feels way stronger
because of the sound effects lol
i honestly couldn't get used to how the HS feels
which blessings on the Boltgun are considered the best for damage?
for elite crowd clear purposes
actually, for boss killing first. elites secondary
it seems like it might be a choice between puncture, pinning fire, and shattering impact
I personally run with Cavalcade and Shattering Impact
Anything other than rashad that excels at horde clear with left click spam?
power sword
6?
6 is overall better if you're into push block. 3 is better if you like sliding & gliding while activating. they both are extremely good at horde
Thank you!
the key blessing is similar to rashad (brutal momentum), then you want power cycler
Excellent, I'll give that a try.
Chainsword XIIIg
Personally I think chainsword & shovel are above average at horde clear and a tier behind. But others love those weapons and have great success with them. Try em out for sure! Even dueling sword 4 is pretty aight for horde, just dance around them and left click spam.
Catachan and the other axes and some other choices easily viable. Vet has a lot of options.
I would like chainsword a lot more if it wasn't for the fact that I start to have an aneurysm every time I see a single crusher or maulers in the horde
Because one thing chainsword does very well it obliterates ragers
Dclaw requires a crit build because the flak adm is awful.
Please, Fatshark, buff the flak adm.
I'd say standard issue shovel for horde clear, though it's heavy spam not light spam
it's not as clearing as some other weapons can be, like power sword, but it more than makes up for it in stagger power. anything you dont kill will be on the floor, including ragers, and even crushers with a couple good heavies
5000 Penance Score racked up in preparation for the 3rd
It isn't capped, right? I can keep doing Penances and the excess score will count towards the track when it updates?
i feel like im going to skin someone alive
why do people trigger demons on auric mael
yeah sounds fun
yup
demons arent that bad if guy who triggers it isnt dumb
daemonhost isnt really that hard it's just guaranteed to hurt you really badly
unless you have the things that can kill it within a dozen seconds like the thunderhammer and/or multiple people with strong heavy attacks in its head
my guy triggered demon and took it on map tour taking whole horde and taking it back to us, died and left
I love the Relic, even though I don't use it often
The pulsing golden light, the way even relentless Daemonhosts relent, the amplification of the Zealot's voice - it just leaves me like:
"Yeah
That's the Emperor, baby"
DPS checks are a great mechanic, that's why everyone leaves instantly when they find out they Quickplayed into Rolling Steel
Are smoke grenade worth it or should I switch for something else
I'm thinking of switching from bolt pistol to maybe infantry lasgun or laspistol, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to give up that elite killing ability
Mainly because I want more ammo so I can use my ranged weapon more often
Thoughts, anyone?
can be, just build with it in mind
good for reducing the impact of ranged enemies
Its niche but okie
Good way to also block sniper fire in a pinch
chat what the fuck does the 2nd mark of the combat shotgun shoot
like the first is a slug round the 3rd is a fire round but what the fuck does the 2nd one shoot
wide
Ur mom
Buckshot
Birdshot?
Snake shot?
Are you telling me a bird shot this cartridge
rewin
Duckbill shot
This muzzle specialize horizontal pattern for pellet spread
Thatβs lawbringer might have internal duckbill shot
The outfit clips :[
The mkx laspistol is pretty good with agile engagment and ws. Kill, kill horde, swap to pistol and it domes most of the priority targets
Itβs the coatβs problem (clips with like everything)
I see, cool!
AuHeresy is cartoonishly easy compared to AuDamn wth
Or am I just that big of a sweat now
anyoke have a clip of the sound the new boots make? says it has unique walking sounds
the new paid boots
thanks 
honestly i feel like it's totally unnoticeable during actual gameplay lol
Walking can
but i like how they look anyway
When things are happening, no
so the sfx is just a cherry on top
But it looks cool in the first place
I'm trying to sneak around but my prothesis are dummy loud and sound keeps alerting the guards
Interestingly veteran prosthetics actually have sorta less footstep audio
Itβs mostly faint squeaky noise instead of concrete footsteps
need more WD-40k for me peg leg
Adeptus Administratum: "We have determined that your injuries are not service related."
Guardsman who sawed his leg off because the prosthetic looked cool: "Frag"
Then he is servitorized
"My overwatch run is going so well!"
The fleshbag about to jump me:
Turtlegryn, deserved.
Plantgryn
Yeah same thing
with how much recon las shoots, im surprised covering fire isnt good on it
Damn my inquisitorial clearance taking a long ass time to process
I'm listening to the main theme this is straight fire
Back up to 7/10 deathless Auric missions
Gonna do the last three tomorrow, then try to get AuDamn Comms-Plex and Warren 6-19 done
Those are the only two Endeavours I haven't completed yet
Well, four, technically
Haven't done them on AuHeresy either
But after that, I plan to attempt Downless AuDamnMael

I can't wait for the update to drop, I'm so fed up with ppl leaving auric maelstrom for the penances as soon as they are down
Aaaaaaaaaa
What's the update gonna change in regards to that, again?
if you alt + f4 while downed
you are considered dead automatically
and re-login captured
basically alt + f4 = suicide if in downed state
server disconnect too
Does that mean no rejoining?
no, you rejoin, but already dead
this also f-up ASS title abuse
but its kinda too late for that
Ah ok, I sometimes alt f4 if I need to take care of somthing irl for a minute
if you alt f4 while not in downed state
i think that wont do anything
if the bot wont die - you should be able to rejoin normally
so its just for abusers
The whole thing is that it keeps your same amount of life you had when you leave
So leaving while not downed is ok, leaving when downed you're technically at 0hp, so considered to be dead
It counting as suicide even on server disconnect rubs me the wrong way, what with Darktide's servers being as stable as Warp translation with a spotty Gellar Field
Game lag and cause you to get downed? Game lag some more and cause you to DC? Sorry sucker, back to the starting board
Tbf, having a server issue and a disconnect while downed would be very very unlucky
I have to disagree
I get killed by DCs way too often to consider it an unlikely outcome
Idk, never happened to me
Don't know if I'm lucky, or if you're the unlucky one ahah

I usually just won't connect to the server (when starting a mission), this means i need to press "start mission" like 4 times
apart from that all green
Helguns?
no theyre like stubber or something?
If itβs what the Dreg gunners use
Wrong chat
yea
duno why its called a stubber. maybe machine gun wasn't heavy metal enough
But Ogryn kinda
Stole that
Anyways- theyβll probably have to just call it a stubber
Seeing Twin Linked and Heavy is what Ogryn has
not for me lol
on today's game of "guess who was the gunlugger ogryn!"
What power sword is the best?
Mk6
Slightly better than the Mk3
This?
Yeah
Ok
Do I have to get to a certain mastery level to get it?
I just hit level 13 and unlocked the weapon in general
I do not know about the mastery requirement
should have it by then
I see
I unlocked the mark 3
Idk how to get the mark 6
just try switching marks as you would with any other weapon and mk6 should show up
Ok
I wonder If Vet will ever get Stubber and Hellguns like those Gunner enemies
fatshark give veteran a stubber and my life is yours!
Beltfed stubber
No reloads just an overheat mechanic
Is there a guide for zealot? like there is for veteran
I am starting a new zealot charactrer
got bored of vet
b-b-but vet has by far the most build diversity... π°
made my buddy play ogryn so he can call me sah constantly
Hmmmmmm why no flamer for veteran
need.. meltagun.. π₯
And granade launcher
if we bein' real we need power fist for vet
i'd sell my soul
maybe we will get power fist and meltagun, they just need extra testing and it's why vet got nothing new in upcoming update
hopium π―
Melta guns are rather rare even for space marine chapters
Lucius pattern combat shotgun tho
melta gun probably not. Plasma fills that role somewhat already. Fist is more reasonable.
we aint fighting tanks though
Yeah personally I don't care for meltagun but crave power fist
the tiny punch on combat knife ain't exactly good enough for me
Yeah we arent. Those melta guns also punch holes through like 7 meters of armored wall
(Also an option for a standard guardsman squad)
I was wondering if i could get my current build rated on if it's good or not and ways to improve it
If Jurgen gets a meltagun surely we can one day
Smh
Just a little one
As a treat
he is ciaphas's side kick ofcourse he gets one
Imagine having vehicles to fight against aswell
drop screenshots here
or i can just post mine
i'll try and get a pic of the full list idk how to show it all at once on xbox
ew, console
ok, 1 sec, i will show mine
Choose ONE of those circles, both are good
then follow this
you will have 2 points left, put them wherever you like
though one of these circles is gooderer
depends on his playstyle, i keep that in mind
here are some variants
@dawn valve
Hi is there an OP build for the twin special assignment would really like some help
I can send my build now just had to paste it onto the site one sec
well, respectfully, if you want a good build that needs a lot of changes. what weapons do you want to use the most
I'm using Recon lasgun and assult chainsword
well thats one of the more complex builds with the recon in there
meltagun would be so good
and my main build is that one above just switch out the ability with VOC with duty and honour and kill zone with born leader
with the same weapons
what changes would be best for it with my weapons?
and i do use a lot of grenades so i thought the nade perks would be good to have
so what playstyle is this build?
you ping enemies for the focus target bonus and then you shoot them
with executioners stance most of the time
what weapons do you use with this build? : )
so what's so good about that build?
it is optimized for any kind of situation
it is good for melee, for range and for supporting your teammates
Totally planned π
I quite like the mk14 recon las
i liked the part at 0:39 when you had 345 toughness π
Poxburster coming in clutch like a g
is it possible to get make every shot count and on overwatch in the same match?
Damn, 2 million ordo no 71 / 69 Plasma gun 
I think I should finish literally every other weapon on every class before I gamble for one, lol
plasma gun stinky
I think Zarona is my second favorite tied with plasma
Bleh, I shouldn't have pumped that much into one weapon, it'll probably get nerfed / changed at some point
damn how do you have any fun with this game just one shotting everything
Play the hardest difficulty with the best gear
whenever im playing with a plasma vet they just one shot everything
play the hardest difficulty with mid gear
removes any challenge
I guess you're just too good at the game then, congrats you beat it 
i never said i was the one using it
Oh ok, just leave if you see a veteran in your lobbies so it's fun 
plasma boring af
So does VoC
And Smite
And Ogryn
But most pubers aren't running the proper ones
Let alone properly stats
ive ran into like
3 good smite psykers?
but every plasma vet i encounter just has some infinite damage build with power sword
Damn, I had another 70/70 but I tossed it, didn't realize empowering can push it one direction or the other
This one went in the wrong direction 
infernus?
if you only need to magdump everything to carry π©
the dh nuking build, i like it
itβs been OP for a while so, no it likely wonβt lol
its been like this for a year

FS arent the fastest when it comes to rebalance
thatβs perfect
oh wait nvm
is it charge rate 71
@severe gale Oh ok, guess I'll keep grinding ordo and maybe it will last for another year 
Or we'll get a melta eventually and it will be even more broken
nah, since we'l be getting some new weps on Dec 3
next ones will be around April-May
Alright, y'know what? Having realized that my catachan sword can parry a plague ogryn, I've changed my opinion on it. I'm willing to accept subpar damage if it means I can solo monstrosities by saying no to any attack.
u shouldve known u can parry a pogryn if u can parry a crusher overhead
how do u parry an explosion
How do you parry a giant stimky ogre stomp
Gunner parry
Not that you can't slowly parry your way to victory but the amount of time this would take, especially with specials and stuff still spawning, would be absurd
I know, but the damage isn't the main draw for me, it's the defensive capability
So my teammates have an easier time with it
And also it feels really cool to pull off
I really wish they'd buff dclaw because the parry is really cool
Yeah it is one of the most fun abilities in the game, hands down
I can parry crushers
I can parry maulers
I can parry plague ogryns
One veteran with a catachan blade could have soloed Horus
It is very safe because of the parry but defense only gets you so far on auric/maelstrom
True, but the ability to not die is also very helpful
Honestly, with this blade I feel like (given enough time) I could solo a daemonhost
Not that I'm gonna try that, but y'know, maybe
Not that they should be the total baseline but compared to Rashad/knife/ds4 it's not much safer and gives up a ton of killing power
Oh yeah the knife is ridiculous
It just gives up far too much for that small edge of defense
I mean arguably ds4 is safer because of infinity dodge
And the crusher stagger poke
this is why i love devils claw
Dodge 5 miles backwards and crit backstab like TF2 Spy, the ultimate crackhead's weapon
Plus it feels hella consistent with heavy strike down
Desperado devils claw is probably my fav vet melee weap
I usually run power sword on my shout vet because it can be super powerful if you have someone else in front to cover you for the half second you need to power it up, but I might switch to devil's claw because it lets me actually be in front
Also, using any ranged weapon other than the bolt pistol makes me wish I had a bolt pistol now
Yeah, with the infantry lasgun and shock trooper I can spam the trigger for the whole mission and not worry at all about ammo, but with how many shots it takes to kill a mauler, it just makes me wish I had my handy dandy delete button again
What blessings you prefer on bolt pistol?
on vet? lethal prox + puncture is the clear winner imo
though run n gun might work too, depending on build
I wish Run 'n' Gun let you reload while sprinting too
Lethla prox actually b arely does anything tbh
So probably surgical?
I do like run an gun
it buffs frag radius
which is the main use case for bistol on vet
otherwise you might as well just run revolver lol
what is infantry lasgun dump statr
Specifically, Lethal Proximity is great because it increases the radius of all your grenades too. If/when this gets fixed, or if you don't care about grenade radius, there are much better blessings out there.
What he said
if a gun has mobility, it's always mobility
Well DUH
That's what i meant
i tested it extensively
TOgether wtih Tinkerer it gets ssuch huge aoe that you will never find realistically in a real game
the buff simply not needed
nah even if it's just a straight hallway it'll make a difference lol
... why would that get fixed? It is literally in the description
Nope
did you try it in psykanium?
I did
even base radius is very big
base + tinkerer is enough for 99% of situations
i suppose if you don't run tinkerer then it is ok
ok whatever
i like my frags being even more effective and having nuke-sized radius
if you don't think that's cool, do your thing
I guess the assumption is that the gun's blessing ony applies to its own explosions
i'm going to keep enjoying my massive blast radius frags
So why puncture instead of surgical?
puncture is better for breakpoints if you aren't getting finesse/crit bonuses,
aka investing all into damage buffs for nades
bistol also gets the bad version of surgical
surgical isn't bad on bistol even
it's more so, yea, deadly accurate+ surgical Bistol
will be ridic
and you don't need surgical to hit the important breakpoints if you have FT
literally just a worse revolver at this point lol
but if you aren't investing in ranged specifically, puncture is just easier, first target especially yea
i don't compare shit to revolver cause while revolver is busted everything else is viable
fair
i'd prefer to run bistol for what i can uniquely though, which is buffing frags
like unless it's really bad, like shredder
rather than trying to emulate the capabilities of a revolver
where you should just use a brauto or iag
I enjoy running shredder pistol on a melee build lol, I know it's not optimal but it's silly fun
nah i do too, the main downside is spending one or two more talent points from pathing tax
but it can work pretty well when paired with a more single-target focused melee
like DS or chaxe
I use the normal shovel with weapon specialist. Very fun with max attack speed
.
.?
do you know how to get the mk7 sapper shovel now brother ?
or is it rng when you buy it
just switch it via masteries unlock
wah
mark 7 you only need level 3
i been gon for 1year they change a lot,,,
I just recently started playing, I hadn't played since beta, game is much better than I remember
now you can unlock all weapon marks just by using the weapon
and switch them at will on same weapon
it's very nice how easy it is to min-max gear now even though in the end it doesn't make you THAT MUCH better
I have min-maxed gear and I'm shit
I believe in you DirtyManHand. You're good enough, smart enough, and you have min-maxed gear.
ngl am confuse what you mean by that XD

so if you're in game press i and go to masteries at top, select sapper shovel
click blessings menu on right and view the unlocks along the bottom
you level up weapon masteries just by having that weapon type equipped while you play
you'll really like it when you start maxing masteries on weapons you regularly use, can swap out blessings and perks and marks at will
Brunt's has white weapons that with full mastery points you can upgrade. The white weapons have subtle "max" stats typically 1 of them will be dump 360 and the rest 380 (if upgraded). So you get the one with the dump stat you prefer, then upgrade it.
The rest of the pieces are similar.. you get a reward for completing a mission. you get weekly rotating weapons you can maybe pick up. you can get rando weapons
You can now get the exact blessings & perks no more locked gear
same for curios, only stat you're really looking for is the blessing, can swap out perks via mats
Right so since you're in veteran you basically want to consider toughness or +3 stamina these days as the top blessing
it's such a quality of life improvement compared to that RNG shit before
they adding any new missions soon?
next update yeah
whens that
december 3rd
new weapons and a new gamemode too
by new weapons
is it actual new weapons or just borderline reskins
sorry if i sound rude
actual new weapons
two handed power sword, two handed force swords and a new type of stubber for ogryn
idk why they never add the hotshot lasgun or whatever its called
hellgun
one the kasrkins are always using
do grenades break stealth now?
we got a heavy stubber
because it's a backpack weapons
only for ogryn though lmao
underhand throws don't
Still dont know why thats an issue
I don't even think this is the big problem just one people bring up
it struggles to exist in a place in the meta idk
braced lasgun when recon exists
If you underhand it won't, unless it tags someone like a krak grenade sticky, since it technically counts as a hit
Just get the creature spawner mod and u will get better 10x
personally im past using metas or whatever, I just want something that looks cool, hate to whine but the game got stale for me ages ago
I want something more exciting to use rather than a braced autogun or a bolter
like a braced lasgun lol
I like the way the recon lasgun plays sorta
I just think the weapon its self looks crap
You can really use just about anything at higher difficulty
Shredder auto pistol in AM 
lezgooo
ty
well yes n no
Iβm guilty of really only using dueling sword because itβs just so good
This is what I mean, I feel like all the guns added to veteran are just reskins with a couple different perks
I've been fond of capping myself by using a grey shredder pistol and using a combat knife on maelstrom
Anyone know a decent leveling build for Vet?
All you need to do is go down center and reach voice of command as soon as possible
Thatβs when the fun begins
hey has anyone else encountered a bug or something where if you block in the exact right time of your dashback animation you cant shove?
What are good vet melee anti-horde options?
Power sword, heavy swords, combat axes
Anyone know a good infantry lasgun build? Trying it level mine up.
Crit build with shock trooper thats yout build for all lasguns
Exept las pistol
Thanks for the info
Does heavy sword really work on vet?
It does
The agrinapinna is probably our most different weapon
I don't remember, does Survivalist screw with that penance
The agripinaa what?
braced autogun?
or another weapon
Great
As long as when you put the gun away
oh
When it's 0 ammo
Cause I'm too lazy to change my builds
Before you gain any more ammo from surv
I mean it's abit annoying
But like I beat the penance with a revolver while another vet with a bolter was trying and running surv
shotguns, revolver, plasma. no reason to run survivavlist if you're actually going for it
the twins mission works btw, same as rolling steel. Both are short and have tanky bosses with big shield hitboxes
if your aim is not great (like me), use shotguns cuz clipping anything with a single pellet counts as a hit
Double barrel works best as you can dump all your ammo in like 30 shots by only shooting both barrels
Damn
Plasma ain't bad if you just right click to shoot the entire mission too
Bruh
alright
Kinda neat
wish they'd add the leather version, "killshot sentry uniform"
28 Aurics in:
I'm sorry to say but
All that remains are Atoma's Elite Guard and Auric Storm Survivor
Infernus isn't actually giving you that much extra damage iirc
If infernus and onslaught work
which one is better for special snipping

Imo infantry lasgun if you're willing to accept you won't be killing crushers with your gun
Hellbore just has worst sights but it's doable
i like the helbore sight
I dunno actually
Maybe when I come home Iβll try it
onslaught is the 16 stacks of brittle right?
Yes
here I can test it rq
Fire and brittleness
me who love playing veteren ranger bardin on vt2 using the handgun
Would be my sweet combination
wait what blessings are best for helbore
Lately I watch someone stream versus Bardin veteran ranger did suspicious cheating
It depend for mark
you dont even needa cheat with handgun
it hits like a truck to most things
Armorbane you ask
Onslaught does affect Infernus
does the brittleness apply to the same hit as what applied it
The actual implications of effectiveness though isn't a ton
tried it vs a plague ogryn
burn damage at max Infernus went from 201 to 214
More likely on crusher
on crusher yeah
Do uhhh I think the onslaught stack from direct fire
But is not from infernus itself
Is that correct?
Correct
Dumdum does buff Infernus damage if you're close enough to the target too btw
I only recently started using recon so
Do you test weapon using loadout config?
You don't need hh for recon, reciprocity + the 5% crit node are plenty
suffer from looking at someone's build that has never used veteren, hahahahah
Yeah but when there isnβt enemy front you at melee range
yeah
It procs vs ranged dodge too
Thereβs newer version let you use no strict enforce weapon
There playing around with zealot and plasma
Or crusher and vet
right hurt some more
I means melee enemies like 10 feet away aggro on teammate
They they arenβt focus on you
Any kind enemy not focusing on you no proc
I wouldnβt keep shooting recon at melee range
Would me swap to melee instead
idk that's not a big deal and deathspitter is giving you more dmg
idk what build for recon people usually use but I threw together this
just went for as much damage as i could possibly get lol
I looking more fun in alternative way
Infernus burn thing up
I had death spitter used long ago got bored up
I know itβs great because strength buff
Jumpscare
yeah ik its terrible, its meant to hurt when you look
DUDE
that's almost copy of mine
Actually just tested
Having infernus adds 400 dps against reaper
with literally every ranged damage buff I could reach this is the most I could possibly get out of this thing
no combat stimm
Marksman looks Buffy with 20% strength
yeah I got that
infernus works on onslaught brittleness yeah
but personally to get the most out of an auto las you need reciprocity
and focus target
duelling sword for fatties
actually
i had other gun Iβm also using is vrak autogun and recon
Itβs go be my toughness problem sort off
I would never run exe stance in a bazillion jillion gazollian years
So you use VoC instead
yeah
b-but why π₯Ή
Alright
it's fine
dump stat for thermal gun?
but it just crumbles in maelstrom
like you can do worse than it
VoC more defensive play-style
If you take Voice btw you will be able to equip Demolition Stockpile
Plasma?
yup
again
VOC is just kinda opie
isn't plasma like
Is either charge rate and thermal resist
this build is not a build I intend to use
this build was assembled purely to see how much dps I could get out of recon lol
How important deadshot is for recon?
horrible
wouldn't bother with DS
But mostly charge rate because you donβt do charge attack on plasma @slim urchin
out of stamina in 2 seconds
thats what i was thinking
probably less
not really
I can never make deadshot worth it
I beg your pardon?
about 2.5 seconds
If charge rate deal 2000 dmg i think itβs maybe worth
I run my autolas like this
This is the best distribution
unless you're using the slower fire recons
then I guess it's a little better for those
and this weapon spec
Crit dmg 
So what blessings are the go to for the recon then
this is mine
you get lotsa crittos
Missing breakpoint
I used deadshot with weapon specialist for the 20% stam recovery on weapon switch
Well there are ways to restore stamina on every keystone
tbh I debate what to put in crit damage or something else
Crit chance or maniac
I think you're better off putting stamina recovery on a curio
Everything else not really relevant
crit chance?
I think I have enough crit chance so it'd be maniac
