What is CDR
50 sounds solid tbh
cooldown
Ability cooldown
cooldown reduction?
Ok
I don’t even know how you can play Darktide on steam deck. You can’t see anything. It is too small
nvm others beat me to it
yes. don't. it doesn't run past 20fps, nearly unplayable.
Yeh
in what universe o.o, is this 480p?
you get good and play off soundcues
Never trust a youtuber trying to be meta
That reminds me I need to try the Rashad
ngl i never liked tanner, glad for my pre-emptive hate to actually come true
Idk how he does it
I got just the video for u 
when he did the vet video he put thrust on his rashad, it actually hurt my soul
Put brutal momentum and slaughterer on it
Is it your video?
Lol
I think we should just leave tanner
He is a kid who got problems
And eventually he'll fix them
Nah
I will try to find this when I get home
What?
Ngl I wish there was a way to personally pin stuff
too bad he causes others problems as well
Just save video
download button
He’s already tried to “reform himself” once and now he’s gotten bad again
There’s no redemption
Now you can search your replies for the word 'home' and that will be at the top of the list
Oh true
Oof
Some people are toxic because they are
tanner gaslit me into being worse at darktide
I personally needed 2nd, 3rd or 4th chances
this right now is his "redemption arc"
Bro I need a 1up farm
I don't try to be toxic, but I am just very sad 24/7 because of my mental health disorders
its really not lmao
💀

do u know what exactly got him banned?
i didnt expect shit though lmao
all the comments on his videos are about how hes "doing so much better" but i have no clue how ppl think that
I played Darktide on Steam Deck a lot when I had long out-of-town work rotations. It does need absolute potato settings (which can't be done in-game, you need to directly edit the .ini file) and really needs to be docked to an external monitor and power source to be any fun. Can't see shit on the small screen
And people called me a complaining bitch, to which I lashed back and got labelled as toxic
I got a buffalo chicken poutine
At least I’m self aware that I could be wrong and I welcome people to challenge my opinions
u c, he talks slower 🙂
its just the mindless drones of the average youtuber commenting
with real cheese curds right
Idk man
ur wrong
I'm too hungry to care
yes, and I think theres a strong enough reason and we have a lot of screencaps, but unless he decides to go public with it I wont say much else
he already did
"Wow tanner, you are SO GOOD at the game and you're such a kind, honest soul who can do no wrong! I love you tanner!"
Im aware of his posts
I love dishonored
anyone else make zoidberg noises seeing that cat
in fact, I commented both
inb4 he banned me xd
shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight?
Nah
i really should finish my smite guide before the full PS5 launch but
Im amazed one of my guides is near the top on Steam
r/dishonored
god i cant
i cant seem to write it without sounding like a dickhead
"strike me"
I really should reread the books and update it
wow
r/disnonored
and then i proofread it and im like "wow i wouldnt take advice from this asshole"
I still need to play dishonored 2 and death of the outsider
D2 is good but play as Emily, trust me
crazy take
oh yea i gotta check on my roommate
DOTO was a religious experience
I was gonna play both but when I saw it when it came out it definitely felt like they only let you play as corvo to appease people
I love corvo
Which isn't a bad thing
I still have dishonored doto in my backlog
My backlog is so huge
you and empress jessamine both
Oh my god
oh I do too, and dont get me wrong, Corvo is still amazing, but I feel like the story is stronger with Emily
Out of all of this I've only played 1/4
mod game and play as a bloodfly
in fact D2 Corvo has the Daud Blink timestop when you channel it and its great
Daud blink was goated
Daud in general was
Which primarchs do you guys think should have an American accent
Knife of dunwall was so good
I think dorn and corvus should
honestly I wish we had more DLC like that
I still need to play the dlcs for dishores 1
playing as another person with the Mark
fun fact I wanna get the Mark of the Outsider tattood on my arm
We've played as 4 different mark wielders so far
and Im gonna do that when I get fit
Based
bro needs the corvo 10 pack
fair point
No, fulgrim needs the poshest of posh british accents, konrad needs an Eastern European accent and Vulcan is Jamaican and you can't convince me otherwise
nah I am a fairly heavy man ever since high school, and tbh, its time I change that
I believe in you
already started going on hour long walks
bear in mind Im dealing with a broken elbow as well lmao
How'd you break your elbow
fell off an escooter
start studying the blade
accident
begin tinkering and build your own revolver flintlock thing
way ahead of you, already know HEMA
Buy a katana and start challenging strangers on the street to duels
now travel the country to find the best swordsmen and duel them
You will lose weight fast
yes
No
I am HEMA
Heman?
shadiversity 2.0
John Hema
He man?
Didn't shadiversitt turn out to be a racist
I guess its better to say I know of and have practiced some HEMA
No, he didnt
Oh
Suuuper unsurprisingly.
Who am I thinking of then
Is that it? I mix up the anti gays and the racists way too often
still bad though
My bad
Just another kind of ism
digitalism
real
It's becoming a bit of a problem I think
As someone who lives in the south, racism is fairly uncommon tbh
Do Mormons use technology
yes
It's gay ppl and esp Trans that aren't appreciated
Or was that the amish
yes
mormons are indistinguishable from normal people except for the soda drinking thing
Both. Amish place limits on what tech they do/don't use
Soda?
Lol no, mormons are weird
This is why you think Mormons are normal
yeah they are but 99% of the time they act like normal ppl
They aren't bad, but def different
and tbf they are nice
What if I told you guys
Yeah they try hard to be nice
like I would 100% rather get lost in a mormon neighborhood than anywhere else
Mormons stole my sister.
damn that's ruff buddy
i am sorry to hear that
she always had a penchant for believing bullshit so it isnt that surprising
did she marry a mormon dude or what
convert?
Baptised?
thats insane
but yes she has ultimately married
Do you still talk?
how does someone read that shit and say "hell yeah I believe this joseph smith fella, he was right"
i just dont believe her shit
I nap for a few hours and you folks be talking about everything
Tbh I feel like if I could make myself believe in a religion I would
There's something nice about finding comfort
Pastafarianism
my religion is apatheism
with cool wizard robes
Oh
Well don't be joining a cult now yeesh
My religion is humanism
My religion is the holy emperor
wish someone would dominate me
Me when i die to a flood
Big E watches over me
Hey heaven's Gate did nothing wrong
i didn't mold reality to my will
JK that was a horrible atrocity
yall seen Heretic?
Unless... 
good movie
The movie?
yes
Almost
the lowliest citizen of the imperium would make it through that movie easily
is vet getting this next year orrr
Double lasgun?
nah just one battery is the magazine, the other one powers the Nintendo DS they hide in the buttplate
We might get a longlas
wasnt goign out of my way to get a plasma bc i never use one, but the emperor decided otherwise
Datamine from launch 2 years ago @tawny timber
We’ve since gotten:
Shock maul (top right)
Force greatsword (bottom left)
Relic blade (bottom middle)
Remaining ones:
Longlas (top left)
Melta (top middle)
2-handed chainaxe (bottom right)
And they’ve mentioned longlas in an official short story like 5 months ago

So it’s prob coming
Eventually
im curious to see how tehy even handle it in game
me when i get clipped by the crusher while sniping specials with my long las
2h chainaxe is one step closer to a polearm
i need a long las so bad i wanna be a proper ratling cosplayer
I missed the religion talk
Submit to Rome

trench crusade god sounds hella dope tbh
here is a beefed up 75mm shoulder canon wielded by my modified tank hunter. go purge
That's just what God said to John of Austria at Lepanto
But with cannons
lol
I love it when a mod breaks my mods so I have to reinstall everything cause I can't find the culprit 
Or just look at the modding discord for one second so you don't have to do that
That would be smart
But I always forget it exists
me waiting 12 hours to get a vague response in there:

I want a poweraxe with an axe mechanicus skin
Report problem
"Ah you probably have this"
"I don't so it cannot be"
crickets
classic modding discord
I don't believe any of the current classes would have access to power axes
the psykers are getting greatswords, anything is possible
Ehh
I don't think having a magic longsword is out of character for Psykers, though
Just look at the Emperor
Tbqh we shouldn't be getting more than a lasgun and a shovel since we're rejects
the emperor also is like 15 feet tall, had glorious muscles, and had power armour the size of my house
I mean not really. Depends on the type of psyker really (nvm I read that wrong)
Disagree, since that's only true until level 30
We are part of an iquisitorial warband, we can use whatever weaponr grendyl says we can
by now we're basically black ops soldiers for the war for atoma if you're level 30, not just a penal regiment
After lvl30
Dude is a literal corpse. I can beat him.
It's the 10,000 custodes, the millions of space marines and trillions of guardsmen to worry about, not big e himself
crushes your soul with a wink of his empty orbit
Darktide’s power scaling is wack much like the rest of 40k because the official stories keep trying to paint player characters as rejects that are no good but in the actual game the human characters are like 1 geneseed away from becoming astartes based on the feats they pull off
Psychic whirlwind of a man desperately holding back the tides of Chaos out of the Material Realm that very nearly killed even Guilliman when he got close
Nah, I'd win
we destroy beasts of nurgle, plague ogryns, chaos spawns, and possibly daemon hosts, we are way more than astartes level as a team
We're a squad of Cains and Yarricks pretty much 
Just the fact we can be swallowed by a beast of nurgle and survive is wack
Lol
Just close your eyes and hold your breath, you'll be fine lmao
Setting foot in hab dreyko and surviving the pestilence tree is crazy too
and take the longest shower you've ever had
Tbf it's trying to play with us, it's just too silly to realize we're being dissolved by it's stomach acid (the Corruption damage)
The fact that getting hit by a beast of nurgle is just “corruption” instead of “instantly contracting COVID-19000” says a lot about the player characters’ power level
It actually is stated that chaos intentionally does not infect or corrupt everyone, they tend to leave some alive so they can feed off those people's despair/fear/anger
a shard of big E is looking out for us
I believe it was in echoes of eternity or maybe mortis
This is different tho
One of the seige of terra
This is nurgle
No, it isnt
1 Darktide veteran is like the equivalent of a tempestus scion squad
more like any shocktrooper squad with how many different types of veteran you can be
I'm pretty sure it was either mortis or Warhawk now because plague marines mostly weren't in echoes of eternity
Interesting
It’s also rly funny in the orthus offensive mission cuz you’ll hear Rinda say smth like “you wouldn’t have lasted a day in the VIth”
And she’s talking to a veteran that fought on Cadia during the 13th black crusade (cutthroat was on Cadia), survived and extracted off the planet
I highly recommend reading the seige of terra if you're interested in 40k lore
Skip the rest of the heresy tbh
Only character who will confuse you is John gramatticus
some people suggest that the cutthroat wasnt on cadia, but saw a vision of the planet being destroyed through warp fuckery and is a descendant of a true cadian, but who knows
I started it so I gotta see it through. But I might as well tbf. It's 60 fucken books
Cutthroat in the prologue prison break mission says “I survived Cadia, I will survive this”
my bad, havent played through the prologue in literal years
(Also download prologue mod it’s peak cinema)
will check that out
my face when zola cant even beat 20 poxwalkers yet constantly threatens us during the missions:
8-12 cultists can give even a Grey Knight squad trouble based on 40k Daemonhunters
5-7 cultist with guns and good vantage points can give a blue smurf trouble based on SM2
A Dartkide vet will slaughter all of them and a few ogryns on top and barely break a sweat 😭
The John Grammaticus segments in The End and the Death drove me crazy, man
I just did not care for any of them and it felt like a drag whenever his hijinks were distracting from the Siege
A longlas cultist sniper can 2 shot down a space marine in SM2
But in Darktide we can tank 2 and be fine
Therefore DT characters more durable than power armor is canon
the props of proper armour
(i wear a shitty tank top i found in someone elses locker)
the emperor protects, bitch
Speaking of proper armor, I have a seemingly hot take: the proportions of the Enforcer helmets are fine
They look correctly sized to the heads underneath instead of being shrunk to the size of the head itself like For Honor does with most of its helmets
The black and yellow ones that look like MK 3 Space Marine helmets
I feel like the enforcer helmets are a bit too tall?
They’re taller than scion helmets which is
Strange
Enforcer set looks very similar to this ngl
to be fair have you seen how much space marine power armour bulks up the frame of the marine?
yeah it's known that SM armor cannot be anotomically correct
Depends on the rendition
the rule of cool is easily the biggest factor in creation of WH40K stuff
and realism the smallest
There are plenty of depictions that show how Marine armor can absolutely be worn by human proportions
ikr
bro the thing looks so cool, and then you do it dirty
when i use it i always put a balaclava under it with for the drip
makes it look so much better
yeah
with slot customisation you can place almost any cosmetic on top of another
the only issue is clipping
Which is already an issue so no harm done 
so you gotta treat most slots with a minimalist mindset
true
but it can get much worse
man I want to play DT now lol
I’m not bothered by that much
I am bothered by upper body cosmetics that don’t have gloves on both hands tho
so the warp vampires can take me
No gloves = no buy
its like GTFO for me, feels wrong to have any exposed skin in such a hostile and plague ridden area
actually you probably dont understand that
Nah I know GTFO
I think partially exposed skin makes sense for some environments in this game
true
should I get the third person mod?
no
so I can look at the stuff I bought
but with NAM-V in the air it feels so wrong to have any sort of skin exposed
why? is it really that janky?
Idk how you could play this game in 3rd person
It looks and feels like ass
Not the good kind of ass either
using it with perspectives is very good for modifying your drip as you can look all around your character
though @somber adder is correct that its terrible for actual gameplay
Cousin Okri core
hmm maybe just for when running through corridors and light combat (which does happen more than not)
and back to first, you know, the cinematic experience
if you are planning to use it in game make sure to never aim without using cyclying perspectives, the crosshair is way off centre in 3rd person
The thing is it kinda doesn't really matter. We go through decontamination procedures when we return to the Mourningstar either way, so it comes down to preference and psychology; having that extra bit of dexterity, or having that notion of an extra layer between yourself and the filth
Plus
With the nurgle corruption we’re fighting
Full body clothing is pretty much just cosmetic lol
i mean true, but it just feels wrong to me no matter how much i am gonna have to wash my hands afterwards
my characters don't even wear a helmet
dont need it. Smooth brain = bullets slide right off
steamdb.info is down
are people checking out games for the sale and thanksgiving lol
they will eat that nurgle vomit in the face, all for fashion
Can't you just spin your character model in the preview thing
you cant change drip in the inventory menu
you gotta do it in mourningstar or sefonis area
What "inventory" menu? You mean the loadout selection before a mission?
that's where you change your build
this is what im talking about
idk if its a different hotkey for others
PC gamers really do be having hotkeys for one button and two clicks
I mean, hotkeys are nice
I paid for the whole keyboard, I am gonna use the whole thing
I'm just confused where the problem is with looking at your 3d character model in the preview thing when selecting cosmetics
when i do it FTD never changes colours or adds new cosmetics for me
so idk if mine is just minorly bugged
This screen doesn't work for you?
are we talking about the same things here?
lemme try to repeat
this screen you've posted does work
but when i use a mod that changes colours and cosmetics without it
they dont apply when im in this screen
so i have to go outside the screen to do anything
Okay, gotcha. I don't think anyone else was talking about a fashion mod and only about 3rd person which is why I got confused
You phrased it like you had to use the 3rd person mod to see normal (unmodded) fashion changes. I think
All gud
Being confused is funny
guess im always funny then
Is Zarona really the best option for Adept Assassin? I can get kills with it just fine, but the tiny window to get kills is a pain in the ass, especially considering the reload time on Zarona
What tiny windows, like I'm genuinely confused?
The small time to get kills with Weapons Specialist active
It probably is, yes. Though you can also use the Bistol or even the slug shotty or double barrel if you're feeling frisky.
The window is a very generous 5 seconds
Hmm might just be me not liking the reload time of Zarona compared to Agri, even with the talent that adds to your active ammo count it feels like a bitch
why does this show 61%? when i swap weapons it shows 60
I am 95% sure that the crit bonus only applies to the first shot after weapon specialist activates anyway so trying to cram in more than 1 kill per activation for the sake of the penance is not gonna do you a lot of favours.
Rounding errors, will most likely fix itself when you max it out
Yes this is true
thanks
Only the first bullet that comes out of the gun
It's next shot per stack, so I'd assume if you have 10 stacks, you have 10 shots of +33% ranged crit hit chance
Nope
Those lying bastards
Yeah the wording just implies the buffs last for 5 seconds, it's a mess
Really cool keystone though, by far my favourite in the game
Best way around this is to melee, kill 3 or more, shoot once and repeat
this is also why I love it on the sawn off shotgun
Any vets out there want to assist a 1k hour zel try to make a laz gun build/give me some advice?
ilas? well heres mine #veteran-class message
I shall check it out - thank you!
you dont need determined on it? asking cause from the bolter side you kinda "need" it
i havent run determined in like 1300hrs and never truly missed it once. imo no exec build absolutely needs determined
executioner stance users win again
sometimes (most of the times) I am bad so I need the panic button called shout
I don't use determined on any build tbh, exec or not. It's one talent point for something you can solve by playing better
infantry lasguns outside of executioner stance definitely need it imo
almost impossible to aim in maelstrom sometimes
I am not sure if I agree with this tbh, surgical style bolter needs it otherwise you just have to wait or run a while before you can get stable shot
“Veterans won’t be left out for too long. They’ll be receiving more next year.” How y’all feel about this?
determined is a big QoL
any weapon that requires to zoom is already, by default, penalized compared to weapons who dont need to aim
sad, but happy we are getting new content eventually
fine. we have a lot of toys as a class tbh
Like taking cover. Throwing a grenade at them. Movement techniques to get into melee.
Or just keep shooting through the suppression if you have the mag capacity
Just think with a game that features 4 classes should drop updates that include all classes
but do you run bolter specifically, that thing is very heavily affected by supression
Yeah but I don't run bolter without exec so moot point for me
I'm just here to tell you all that ...
weren't ogryns got left out a few times the human classes got something new?
I am HYPED FOR HAVOC~!!!
idk what the discussion is, but I think youre just wrong
Yus
then heck yeah. i love me a competitive mode
skill issue
Db is fine
Practicing clutching too
I dont think he gets it chat
how do you practice? like just playing
Ya and I don’t like that one bit, same with psyker getting shafted sometimes.
Yeah
Rush ahead, let my team die, and then try my luck on saving them while being mobbed on
I have to prepare for EVERYTHING! I'm even planning to sleep more so my reflexes won't be off.
thought this was zealot chat for a sec
Hyped, that's all. I can almost do a back flip
- Fluid Ranking System
Havoc will update a player’s Order Rank on a weekly basis. If a player was unable to complete their Havoc Order before Havoc is updated for the week, they’ll remain at the same Havoc Order. But they’ll have a different mission and mutator combo to attempt.
If a player does not succeed in progressing forward in any Order Levels during the week, they will be decayed 1 Havoc Order the following week.
wait there is rank decay if you don't want at least once a week?
now I don't feel like liking this anymore lol
do you like just barely land and stumble forward or do you overshoot it and land on your heels?
Just play like 1 game with a havoc 40 player and get boosted all the way back to rank 40 lol
I like ranked system, I don't like being held hostage by my rank 😭 not even LoL does that
I said almost, as in I'm gonna do it if they give anymore hyping news~
yeah but I like the climb, not necessary the "grind"
i play in burst, like a lot for a week then maybe nothing for two
damn
If you're NA, Q up with me. We can't lose lol
yeah i might take you up on that
I'm decent, far from best but I can hold my own in Auric
when will they add the ability to slap a teammate for 1 wound when they steal ammo they clearly don't need
Let them die
if you hit enter you can verbally slap them 😉
well theres a week for them to do so
But they're done on all the info
but what if they werent?
New weps, Havoc, and that's it?
It would
genestealers when
I want Plasma Pistol~!
Did they buff the Vet? I get more grenade now?
those are ammo tins not sardines
Ahhhh~!
check your mission modifiers, some buff the player's blitz
most likely this is the reason.
I want the immersive grenadier vet
Oh, never got that one before
no gun but like 40 nades
The greandier vet with a bandolier of grenades and a rotary grenade launcher
granted they are all smokes though
blaze up the entirety of Tertium
You call throwing grenades a martial art?
Grenade-fu?
bang-fu
If you shove a grenade into the enemy mount, they will get burn to dead.
Smoke grenade are extremely hot
heretics stole my darktide icon, cant have shit on atoma
it also takes a lot of work to capture so much smoke into such a small thing
yes indeed tis I, the notorious villain
really main thing I wanted to tell him was just
hes acting way too self destructively
Did u take screenshot before he deleted them?
just wanted to advise him to maybe reconsider the last few days and figure out where he is and what he wants to do
nope
I didnt come there to own him
just to maybe nudge him and be like, hey, idk this is what you want
Yeah just for receipts if people start tainting u
has he considered being a bigger man
and besides, his receipts are mine
Nah the internet is the perfect place for people like him to never be held accountable
you're talking about Tanner
yea but like
if he wants to prove Im an asshole he has to show what I said
The good news is all of this crying and whining seems to be only influencing his fanbase, because his comments section looks pretty empty 💀
Let's just say he's doing a lot of clean up to make it look nice
Oh man, y'know what? A veteran grenade launcher would be sick!
be funny if I did that 
Id honestly settle for an underbarrel GL too
That'd also be neat, but what I'm thinking of is the heavy weapon grenade launcher
Imperial Guard infantry gets it in the tabletop game
path youtube channel when?
That would also be sick
I NEED to punch heretics but the knife punch is uh inadequate
Y'all better not catch these hands, because they're chambered in 12 gauge
too bad the punches on it suck
Idk if I’m “authoritative” enough lol
another darktide drama channel, coming right up
I like to think of my guide as a generally objective info source
Wait, did you finish it?
But I obviously don’t know everything
Pinned link is mostly done (only example builds not done)
Currently porting to steam
Will retire word document link after steam port is done
sneak peek for the steam port version (it's also a direct upgrade)
neither is any of the existing darktide content on youtube
but that guide was made by "See Vet Pin For Guide" UwU
The thing is my main focus is gonna be on the steam port
looked it up and yes
want
need
And I prob can’t record gameplay without my GPU heating up a lot (am playing on laptop)
wtf it's huge
dude link it so I can favorite it
grenades are surprisingly lacking despite how fun explosions are
My steam guide? It’s nowhere close to done yet
Least dedicated Rashad fan: 
Ugh fine
But the catch will be the horrible microphone
I’m not publishing until like a solid 80~90% is done
thats fair, feel free to ping me if you want and Ill pin it
tbh I really hope Vet gets another rework just for the chance for grenade keystone or something lol
a grenade launcher works too 
UNLIMITED GRENADES
plasma gun section
plasma and combat axes are the only completed weapon sections rn
introductions are done
talent sections are done
There’re 52 more weapon sections to go through corresponding to the 52 other weapons available to veteran
GRENADA
No field improv for actual nade maxxing is a criminal offence
I scrapped the major breakpoint section of the word document
Instead it’ll be distributed to each weapon’s own section
not sure what gun to use here tho
Bistol with explosive radius ofc
anyone got the patchnotes coming for the buff to the plasma gun to hand
No
okay so just not worth it then
It’s a bait post
Did someone troll reddit again?
so it's better to just go the melee side regardless if I'm going for weapon specialist
I can already smell a Tanner "response" video with this as the thumbnail 😤
Pretty much
shame, sounds like a cool combo
onslaught broke me
so is onslaught ok for inf lasgun?
Onslaught really only works for the autopistol, recon lasgun and infantry/braced autoguns and even then it's questionable
i magdump into crushers heads
Nah
You don't apply enough stacks to make it worth it unless there's some hyper specific breakpoint I'm not aware of
ok
no
yeah seems better to just go melee side if you go weapon specialist
takes too long to stack
speaking of inf lasgun
youre not always going to use your gun
whats the name of that one
think it was renamed
it was like 21e?
it was like a slow firing lasgun
MG XII (now Mk IX)
Thing is, the weapon it's good for are usually bad at killing armor so you just end up using melee or nades anyway
yeahh tanks
unload a shredder into a crusher
kill everything around it with ricochet alone
IX infantry Lasgun is unfortunately not very good
It’s missing like
20~30% damage
To get 1 tap breakpoints
all this talk about crusher breakpoints
It'll die of lead poisoning in the air eventually
krak chad
Do u want to port the guide over to steam in my stead
I'm not really into a selfporntorture
marry me
I'm being harassed
Crusher breakpoints? What are you talking about, just kill shit or do you want me to make a point by breaking you?
~Sophisticated Ogryn probably
Psyker mindset
Sea it
Krill it
It's shrimple
That’s the best way to summarize it with how well they’ve been eating lately lmao
Get this disgrace away from me
I'm a devil sword denier, but I also am aware that my beloved DS will soon be nerfed.
What are the chances that this will actually kill something?
You done goofed, I love Bebop
same
When I played I played seven
100%, best weapon
no joke, DS is really good
or idk the abbreviation
regardless, devil claw is great
dclaw I think
I played Bebop, Shiv, Paradox, was picking up Abrams and Lash near the end
then I yknow
fell and ate shit
I'm not gonna lie, the parry is perhaps the single most useful ability of any melee weapon in Darktide
DS is gross, peak dex 🤢
Too much crit for my liking, I prefer shred
how long do I have left
I also like the power sword a lot though
2
I think Shred is the meta for Dclaw, but I want to try both rampage + savage
2 what?
1
disgusting
but man, idk what it is with the knife v6
speaking of, finally got psword to 20
ikr, just use shovel
time to get rid of this thing
nuh uh
Your slander can't hit me
I have enough dex to dodge ad infinitum 🗣️
it's not about the dodging lol..
This server's obsession with rashad is so funny
GOTTA LOVE THE METS BABY LETS GO METS
It’s really just a few people here
The joke is that veteran builds have 3 broad categories
- Knife
- Rashad
- Can’t afford Rashad
ok but what am I then
A failure
You can always afford Rashad now though. Much tougher before crafting update
hoooray
With all due respect this is some mourningstar random player tier build
I mean in terms of talent point cost
Ahhh
I have one type of vet build:
- I don't fuck with Rashad, gimme fun
thanks
and yes this is unironically what I run lmao
psword/knife 6 and medium helbore
It's so tactical
The human mind cannot comprehend this amount of tacticalness
Didn't even get demo stockpile
the reactions to this build will never not be funny to me
I liked the helbore before FS made special/elite spawns cracked in update 12. I now value swap speed much more
superiority complex or rending strikes
on damnation/auric damnation
what would have more use
Depends on weapon
15% elites or 10% rending
Hmmm
combat blade
Elite
But the real answer is neither
Cuz the point tax is so high u can’t rly afford either
I somehow can
Then you’re prob not playing knife as a proper melee weapon
More like a movement tool
btw is it better to just stack bleed and have mercy killer
or is it just better to go with more dmg
Hey guys where's the talent that gets rid of rubberbanding and lag?
precognition/riposte
Depends on what the build actually looks like
Precog isn’t that strong on knife for veteran
It’s just “nice”
I second the more damage
Riposte is always good
Actually hang on lemme ask #gameplay-help
Go into user settings config file and change rtx stuff
As I usually avoid bleed blessings on my knife
so riposte/flesh tearer?
Works
What the heck are you talking about? Show me, this sounds smart.
Win + R
%appdata%
Find “fatshark” folder
“Darktide” folder
User settings config
You can change settings directly from there and it’ll apply to the game
Ooh neat
I’m also not sure if you’re “lagging” because of CPU or GPU
i love mk6 with serrated + mercy + uncanny
do a combo punch + stab
punch to apply instableed
I mean like, when I press a button (say, swap weapons) then it instantly swaps me back sometimes and I have to spam it to get it to stick. Might be a network issue.
erm i prefer mk3 knife
Same with other things
this game is rather sensitive to bad internet for some reason
Ability usage is also a big problem, because sometimes I'll be low on toughness and hit my shout key and the voice line will just cancel itself and the ability will revert to not being on cooldown and my toughness will stay the same
So then I spam it and I end up shouting like 50 times with no effect
Then I die
That would explain it
bad game
Man, I thought it'd never get as bad as Foxhole, but here we are.
No, it's not a bad game, it's a good game with server issues
Which, now that I think about it, seems to happen a lot these days
games made after 2010s cant work..all they know is bugs, microtransactions, crashes and undelivered promises
The gaming industry isn't in a great place, but hey, there's still some good ones
Helldivers, Broken Arrow, Six Days in Fallujah
Uhh, Webfishing?
could also be ur internet
you mean Outer Wilds, Rain World, and CrossCode
if ur like, in a discord call and ur game starts acting weird while vc is working fine
Oh yeah, those are great too
then yea it's the game's servers
badtide
is this why you're a mod
report is in, it was "Meh"
Doesn't suit my playstyle of hyper aggressive and dodge + push so much that enemies can't even get a swing out
and not enough armor pen to really complement my ranged weapon
Me as it diagnosed that my internet was being throttled by past techs at my house


(They added 6 splitters so my internet kept getting split into nothing)
are mods working for you guys?
I cri
These mods work and I haven't had the problem you're having since
These mods only spam f for you though, right?
What they described just sounded like latency issues
I can neither confirm nor deny
hoping to use "hacker" DB with mk3 knife with uncanny+mercy
I'd take 5% more DMG over more movement speed but both are equally eh
I would go for survivalist personally but I have a big guess you don't like them 
it'd make this already point starved build impossible i think
And yeah iron will be goated even without close order drill
Update mod loader
ah that is a good idea, i'll probably do that
yeah I am good now
Apparently it was mod loader and they fixed
yeah i just heard the extra krak damage pseudo increases the minimum AoE on it but bring em down is defo better
only for frag sadly
I'd get rid of a twin nade node, bleed node so you can go for 30% weak spot DMG
oh so the edge of krak raidus does the same damage always?
the edge is pretty bad damage anyways
Bleed stacks from melee you can get steadily from combat blade and even without that 1 stack of bleed isn't really good dmg
you are basically only boost boss damage
with that talent
since bulwarks and crushers die either way
edge of blast radius is 200 dmg
i think its needed for mercy on knife tho
it is
mercy+uncanny knife to take out elites/specials
Am I crazy
Is it actually really hard for people to land headshots on enemies that stand still to shoot you with precision guns
oh no, do mods not work right now?
maybe not but he is right that recon lasgun go brrrr
my numeric UI 😦
You already got desperado and reciprocity on top of an already high Crit chance with the knife. Pair it with laercate and reposte and you'll get bleed stacks a plenty
Thru crits
but im gonna use double barrel for horde clear and figured an uncanny+mercy knife was good for beefy single target or does a bleed knife do that better?
i imagine charge stabs with uncanny+mercy do it best, no?
I'd have to double check it. But the bleed knife kills elites real good in my experience
i thought that was only in junction with a dps gun like a lasgun you can empty into them while the bleed is also melting them
not with a double barrel for horde i figured
you'd hope head stabs would do more than some bleed lol
reading about back when onslaught proc'd off bleed ticks tho sounded OP
use the fix to the mod loader
The bleeds stack high with your already high Crit chance. Also I mixed up lacerate with flesh tearer my b
Flesh tearer / riposte is what I meant
8 bleed stacks per Crit and with combat knife base Crit chance + reciprocity + desperado + riposte you'll be critting a lot
Melts elites
getting a charged heavy kill with the shovel vs a mutant and getting the bonk sfx has to be the funniest shit
what blessing should double barrel have
well manstopper gives INFINITE cleave so definitely that one at least
then usually something like scattershot or flachette
dont need scattershot most of the time due to vet already having lots of ways to get near 100% crit chance like weapon spec. and reciprocity
i run manstopper + double barrel
flechette / scattershot are aight, but i already DB only with WS anyway
i wouldn't use both barrels for WS since you'd only get 1 bullet into the mag
it's important for one-shotting elite waves and bulwarks
but that's my personal preference
@tall torrenti used to play for like 200 hours without frags (with kraks or smokes) and now i cant play without frags
too bad buddy
need Hadron in this

40k Hive Slice of Life anime when?
dont give Netflix ideas
Agreed
Especially if you buff them up with certain things
I really could only squeeze a bit more dmg out of them by playing with a Smite Psyker
Or by sacrificing a lot of defense
This was the Scab Only Melee Maelstrom
I can't wait to see the update that absolutely breaks the game because it inadvertantly buffs the shredders
It's a ticking time bomb at this point
It took me a while to realise
But Voice of Command is literally the name of the Astra Militarums faction rule this edition
Wouldn't mind
It's been around in some form or another since at least 5th Edition Imperial Guard
I do find it fun how they incorporated aspects from tabletop into games like these
And really well too
Carapace armour is literally us failing the wound roll
Usually if not always under that name. Funny thing is you always had to buy Vox Casters for your units to extend the range of Orders, because apparently even radios have a shorter range than rifles lmfao
Ogryns are literally t6
Against a lasgun we wounding on 6
I wouldn't be surprised if a crusher was t7-t8
If we can deal with Plague Ogryns and Chaos Spawn with our current weaponry I think we can dispatch Space Marines pretty fucking quickly
They're only t4-t5 compared to CS t5 and Ogryn t6
I'm ngl
I think I'm gonna give up trying to get the optimal plasma gun
500k and the game teases me with this
😭
The inverse of the dump stats
dunno if you've been watching any of the media for space marines lately but the power scaling is getting more and more absurd
why are your screenshots so bright
HDR I'd imagine
Is thermal resist the dumpstat on taht ?
Plasma gun has no dumpstat
Windows 11 fucked snipping tool
69% thermal resist 71% charge rate is the distribution
80% everything else
I've spent too much tryna get it
Iv had 2 71/69 round to 70/70
Dump ammo on plasma and be done with it. Yes, you can still chase the god roll if you want the pre-crafting update chase of a weapon
Okay
what are the best stats for boltpistol ?
ANd blesses ?
Because ngl, I kinda dont vibe with the plasmagun
^^'
Bolt pistol dumps mobility or collateral, and generally you want Lethal Proximity and Puncture/Run 'n' Gun. Pair with shredder grenades.
Seconded, if 12.5 extra shots are gonna make or break a run for you, there are bigger problems at hand
honestly the flipup on the bolt pistol never made me give it a try
They did tweak that out a bit around UnL
Bolt Pistol is like a side grade too the Revolver however, it’s not Zarona levels of overpowered
yes
input > ranged sensitivity (ranged alternative fire)
Imagine you had to fight Rinda Karnak but she is twice the speed had a the same gun as her brother and she could switch between melee and ranged. That would be the fight. That and she would have twice the hp pool.
twice the speed of rinda karnak... i'm glad all of the warhammer games never completely follow the stuff from the novels
In Fire Warrior, you, a solo Fire Warrior, kill hundreds of guardsmen, a Valkyrie, SMs, CSMs and a Lord of Change
I'd like them to follow the codexes and novels a bit more than... that
(He was also just a Shas'la)
lore accurate gameplays thrown out the window in darktide
Like I said the other day, Lore Accurate Darktide (per Requiem Infernal novel):

- Pox Walker comes along
- Shoot it
- Get splashed with Nurgley fluids
- Catch Super AIDS
- And then John Darktide was a zombie||

mfw no plasma gun buff
