Very unhot take: If you release a buggy, unfinished mess and take a super long time to get it into acceptable status

That is not a labor of love

They absolutely do not deserve it

I'll vote them for the "cement shoes" category with the way they drag their feet doing anything

I voted for them because I like this game and wouldn't mind them winning

What stat do you dump on a helbore lasgun?

Is it stability?

tall torrent

#

Okay, thamk

umbral parrot
#

Damn... i kinda do want to use the Helbore lol

#

Tac-Axe / Helbore.

#

Just for fun, nothing serious of course.

#

Check this badboy out.

#

Weapon Specialist = 100% crit chance. Bitterness = more fire damage.

austere mica
#

Weapon spec helbore is

#

A choice

umbral parrot
#

A damn good one at that too

austere mica
#

An exceedingly poor one

umbral parrot
#

And yet i bet you i'll still score top in my team lol

austere mica
#

You are using half the duration of your stacks to draw your gun

umbral parrot
#

Nuh uh. From half to 3/4!

#

Besides, i only need a goot shot before closing into melee.

faint beacon
umbral parrot
#

Damn right

#

Do that math

#

2.5 x 12.....

faint beacon
#

Why?

umbral parrot
#

I don't know it, but it's high up there.

faint beacon
#

You can just fucking use its charged strike

tall torrent
umbral parrot
#

I'll outdo the code then.

tall torrent
#

Weapon specialist is not “gain stack on ranged kill”

austere mica
#

Oh it just outright doesn't work

#

Thats

#

Kind of funny

tall torrent
#

It’s “gain stack on kill while ranged weapon is in hand”

faint beacon
#

You'd have to run Marksman focus

#

if you want to benefit off of clicking on heads

tall torrent
#

You don’t get to use both parts of WS from Helbore’s attacks

#

Melee bayonet kills with Helbore still only give u melee specialist (activated from swapping to melee)

#

It’s genuinely as bad compatibility as it gets

steep herald
#

hey yall does anyone know of any good builds for auric maelstroms?

tall torrent
#

One Motion is x0.8 wield time

#

It’s only 0.3~0.25s faster for Helbore & Boltgun

#

For other weapons it’s negligible

quaint sparrow
#

I retract my earlier statement

#

once I understood how to vent heat from the plasma gun

#

it became my new favorite

austere mica
#

Unfortunate

umbral parrot
#

What are you guys talking about, this gun rocks!

#

To be fair, maybe i could do the same without talents though.... but still!

#

But you guys are right

#

This build is all wrong.

quaint sparrow
#

^^

umbral parrot
#

Here, updated my weapon. This way i can hit harder against all of my foes.

quaint sparrow
#

And still kickin heretics in the face for the Emperor! CADIA KARKIN STANDS!

umbral parrot
#

Look at that! Add in Agile Engagement, plus Surprise attack. We're talking a potential 80% more damage against Unyielding.

#

Damn, i'm so smort. Making up my own Meta on the spot! No need to thank me gentlemen.

#

GASP

#

WHAT PERFECT TIMING TO TEST MY GUN OUT~!

umbral parrot
#

Yea this build sucks lol

#

But i do like the Helbore Lasgun regardless!

rugged ingot
#

What's the recommended dump stat on the revolver?

tough flower
#

Mobility I would guess

#

Even at 60% you move pretty well

rugged ingot
#

It might not be a bad gun by itself, but it would be a bad choice for that build.

umbral parrot
#

All i need is a good shot

#

It's fun regardless. Not sure if i'm making it work. I know I can do more with a Revolver or Plasma but still cool

cosmic yarrow
#

When do you get the "Path of Trust" chapter 2 completed?

rugged ingot
#

Probably around level five?

#

There are 30 levels and 6 chapters, so that's my guess.

quaint sparrow
#

Why does the sister prine or whats her name is hate the loose cannon so much

#

loll

#

I keep getting hated on

tall torrent
umbral parrot
#

Yea, first time using the Helbore on 3veg.

#

Not to my liking. It's not even the long draw time. It's how long it takes to charge up your shots.

#

Buuuut that might be the inexperience talking. Going for a round 2

quaint sparrow
#

Question

#

What happens when I blow up my plasma gun mid mission and get revived ?

#

do I lose it ?

tall torrent
#

u can't blow up if ur using it right

quaint sparrow
#

Yeah, i know. Just hypothetically

#

Is it gone if it goes boom ?

tall torrent
tall torrent
quaint sparrow
#

Realy ? Thats the "Right" way to use it ?

#

I do use the charge to blow up big things

tall torrent
tall torrent
quaint sparrow
#

Okay ?

#

May I ask why ?

tall torrent
# quaint sparrow May I ask why ?

much lower dps
risk blowing up
only 3 shots before overheat (hipfire has 8)
does less damage than hipfire x3 even though it uses the same amount of ammo
cannot sprint while holding charge

has 2x cleave but doesn't penetrate carapace so u don't meaningfully kill high mass enemies any better

the lower dmg compared to hipfire x3 is just low enough to require extra perks for 1 shot crusher breakpoint which takes away your crucial perk slots for actually important 1 hit kill breakpoints

#

u don't even deal much aoe dmg if u blow up

#

plasma is strong because it's an extremely reliable 1-hit-kill gun vs most specialists & ranged elites, and has very high cleave to thin out mixed hordes

#

it's not strong because u get to kaboom urself

umbral parrot
#

Honestly, they do need to buff the charge up shots.

hollow ibex
#

plasma needs a rework

tall torrent
#

I'd like to see

hipfire cleave 50 nerf to 5 (can cleave through 1 gunner/rager)
hipfire dmg vs carapace & unyielding massively reduced

brace fire cleave 100 nerf to 15
brace fire can cleave through carapace armor (can hit 2 crushers)
brace fire dmg vs carapace & unyielding massively increased

umbral parrot
#

Not against Unyielding!

tall torrent
#

I think hipfire dmg vs most enemies are in a fine spot because it does take very specific talents to get 1 hit breakpoints

tall torrent
umbral parrot
#

Oh, i gotcha. Duh

#

Nah, charged shots also need to eat up less ammo too!

tall torrent
#

plasma is an "anti-armor" gun, make its charged shot actually good

#

give it like

#

minimum 3000 carapace dmg on charged bodyshot

#

maybe 6k or higher vs unyielding

#

u get 3 charged shots before overheat, they gotta do something meaningful

umbral parrot
#

And maybe 8k against Infested!

tall torrent
#

what's infested for

umbral parrot
#

For killing Pox Walkers. Duh

#

Who knows, maybe potential cough cough Daemons in the future? They have to be infested!

#

But honestly, just give me a plasma pistol.

Here's to hoping it's a hotshot

umbral parrot
#

Yes please

tranquil bronze
#

They come with drum type batteries now

#

So there's no excuse why we can't have it now

umbral parrot
#

They should work like a Flamer does. Can only shoot when braced.

tranquil bronze
umbral parrot
#

Wait, hold up.

#

Getting confused with the other heavy gun.

#

The one that shoots a lot more. Hellgun?

tranquil bronze
#

Yeah

#

Other name for it is hotshot

umbral parrot
#

OOOH

#

Nvm

#

Talking about the Hotshot Volley Gun~!

#

Now that one i can imagine bracing and letting it rip!

tranquil bronze
#

volley guns are just double barreled

#

But I can see that

cobalt crest

Storm boltors when

umbral parrot
#

Or Melta guns...

#

Regardless

#

I want the full arsenal of a Tempestus Scion~! I mean, i'm always doing Auric missions, i'm practically just as good as one!

tranquil bronze
#

Or Kasrkin arsenal

#

Their hellguns are cool too

umbral parrot
#

They have their own unique ones!? I always thought they used the same weapons as the Scions.

tranquil bronze
#

kasrkin hellgun is a different pattern

#

Their volley gun too

cobalt crest
#

Is getting kraks and then survivalists ok to do or not worth spending the extra points for

Is there a lasgun that has you feed through the top?

#

Feeds probably the wrong word

fervent quiver

when melta...

#

WHEN MELTA

#

ME WANT MELTA

cobalt crest
#

Also does long shot apply to each individual enemy and not like kill zone where it just doesn't work at all if an enemy is in proximity

cobalt crest
#

That makes sense

tall torrent
cobalt crest
#

Kill zone is also just straight up useless too?

tall torrent
#

nah

#

killzone is weird

#

because it is a lot of dmg that actually contributes to breakpoints

#

it's just that relying it for breakpoints is bad

#

because the moment anything steps into melee range u lose ur breakpoints

fervent quiver
#

tag exists which destroys that

tall torrent
#

but it's usually the better pick if ur going exe stance

cobalt crest
#

Ic ok

tall torrent
#

opening salvo (10% crit chance) only matters for a few weapons where u absolutely want to max crit chance without going into deadshot

fervent quiver
#

revolver/shotgun

tall torrent
#

nah

cobalt crest
#

Recon las?

fervent quiver
#

no

cobalt crest
#

Revolver has surgical

tall torrent
#

opening salvo is mostly for stuff like
infantry autogun V
recon lasgun VIc & XII
Helbore (all 3)

#

it doesn't matter much for revolver & shotgun

fervent quiver
#

which reconds?

tall torrent
#

just added

#

I don't think crit matters that much for XIV

fervent quiver
#

ah, I need the old tags

cobalt crest
#

Infantry autogun seems kinda weird though no? Cause 20% of an autoguns mag is like 10 bullets

tall torrent
fervent quiver
#

ty

fervent quiver
#

I love that the infantry autogun still works

cobalt crest
#

What's crit string

tall torrent
#

for certain weapons if u crit once while firing, the next few shots will be guaranteed crits

fervent quiver
#

oh

#

so that's why recon lasgun works with that

cobalt crest
#

Oh what

tall torrent
fervent quiver
#

I honestly forgot recon lasgun has that

tall torrent
#

recon has crit string =2

#

infantry autogun V has crit string = 3

fading yarrow
#

Mathspeak

tall torrent
#

higher crit string = better scaling with crit chance

fervent quiver
#

Sir, I have big big question

#

when will infantry lasgun have actual pen

fading yarrow
#

Lasgun buff

#

Make it blow chunks out of the terrain

tall torrent
#

I would much prefer

fervent quiver
#

the thing still kills well

tall torrent
#

they fix this for lasguns first

#

guess what I shot

fervent quiver
#

it's just crushers that it can't kill

I hope they change its inverse falloff profile and buff its flak ADM tho

Damnit

#

Ok I don't have the minimized talent tree mod so you're gonna have to bear with me

tall torrent
#

shovel is actually ok vs crushers

fervent quiver
#

Surprisingly yes it is

orchid nova
#

Are you using the adjustable shovels or

cobalt crest
#

Shovel + thrust can one shot

#

Which is nice

fervent quiver
orchid nova
#

IIRC like Oggy, vet only has 2 adjustable shovels

cobalt crest
#

Mkvii

orchid nova
#

third is the vanilla

cobalt crest
#

I think

#

Blue one

tall torrent
#

mk1 and mk7 are the good ones

fervent quiver
#

blue one.

tall torrent
#

mk3 is not worth

orchid nova
#

There's always the brain damaged fetal alcohol lasgun build

cobalt crest
#

Imo mk1 is strong with decimator and mkvii is better with thrust but that's just personal preference

orchid nova
#

Onslaught + Recon Las + Shock Trooper + Maxed Crits

cobalt crest
#

Limbsplitters also fine but I don't like waiting

tall torrent
#

limbsplitter is horrible

orchid nova
#

it's a trap yes

fervent quiver
#

Even after all the changes it still works

orchid nova
#

It's a pretty trashy build that pushes you into a lot of bad habits, but it works

#

fasgun go fast

cobalt crest
#

I mean if you're good at timing it's basically the same as thrust no? You just don't have to charge it up all the way

fervent quiver
#

I use it sometimes just to destress

orchid nova
#

Yes but you can't use it every swing

tall torrent
fervent quiver
tall torrent
orchid nova
#

and for something like that you want horde clear

#

What are vet shovel talents anyway

cobalt crest
#

Oh so you'll just never have it active

Well, first off, those red talents are kinda traps

I was thinking of maybe getting focus as a keystone but I think maybe no keystone is better

I am going to kill fatshark for changing these names

Why do they change the names of guns anyways?

considering veteran has tac awareness

orchid nova
#

with the exe stance

umbral parrot
#

Nah, i'm more the type who's like "Nah i'd win" against a Chaos Space Marine

fervent quiver
tall torrent
orchid nova
#

then again I usually use weapons that 1shs anyways

tall torrent
#

red nodes are not traps lol

fervent quiver
#

red nodes are honestly some corner stones that get you out of situations

cobalt crest
#

Wait what was that one story where a grey knight died to a bunch of feudal era knights

fervent quiver
#

or you really want those men dead

cobalt crest
#

How did they even manage to do that

tall torrent
#

it depends

#

I think after u get ur breakpoints and u have some points to spare

#

red nodes are very much worth it

fervent quiver
#

yeah, That's how I treat them

tall torrent
#

it also depends on if ur weapons benefit from them noticeably

umbral parrot
#

Define Red Notes?

fervent quiver
tall torrent
#

temporarily +dmg on ability activation

umbral parrot
#

Ability Modifiers?

#

Hunter's Resolve all the time

#

You can actually revive someone fast enough before your toughness breaks while standing on fire.

tall torrent
#

most of the time CQKZ/FTE does something for u

#

take FTE if u go exe stance

#

if u take VoC it's kind of a tossup

umbral parrot
#

Duty and Honor is something you must always take

tall torrent
#

because born leader does spread like extra 25~30 toughness with every VoC activation

#

and FTE is not that much on its own

#

what weapons

cobalt crest

#

show the entire build here

umbral parrot
#

Where's your Marksman Focus?

radiant chasm
#

People dont use threads

#

Plus it kicks people out

#

Randomly

orchid nova
#

Tempted to swap to ogryn highlighter to make it even cringier

fervent quiver
#

this is hard

#

texting whilst fighting

orchid nova
#

But yes. Despite what youd' think, the Marksman Keystone is really made for sprayguns like the Recon Las, Brrauto, IAG, and so on

fervent quiver
orchid nova
#

See, if you spray one headshot every 3s at all

#

you can run around fully

#

there's no penalty to missing

#

Meanwhile loser nerds using actual sniping weapons...like

Actually is it me or is Slug shotgun the most sniper feeling gun Vet has lol

tawny timber
orchid nova
#

genuinely feels like a bolt action

tawny timber
#

beanbag shotgun for vet when

orchid nova
#

You get very tries when using actual precision weapons to get headshots

#

whereas if you just held down M1 with a brrauto at a horde, you're guranteed to hit the head atleast every 20 bullets or so

cobalt crest
fervent quiver
#

I love the slug shotgun

orchid nova
#

permaswap the ammo type

#

buckshot and slug, buckshot and incendiary, buckshot and suckshot

#

also if their ammo counts were in any way comparable to other weapons of their power level.

cobalt crest
#

Suckshot 🤨

#

😩 me after suckshot

orchid nova
cobalt crest
#

If all pellets hit do shotguns do good damage

#

Or even then is it still ass

orchid nova
#

normal shotguns, decently

#

the issue is their long reloads and shallow ammo pools compared to Brrauto which fills the same general niche

cobalt crest
#

I wanted to build combat shotguns and I thought all shotguns had run n gun so I thought I'd be able to circumvent it's lackluster performance by decreasing it's spread

#

And then I found out it didn't and I stopped leveling my shotgun

tall torrent
orchid nova
#

Honestly I'd settle for the same shotguns but with deeper ammo pools

tall torrent
#

they don't have consistent dmg which is a big problem

fervent quiver
#

that's why slug is best feeling

lilac kayak
#

Oh wait nvm

cobalt crest
orchid nova
#

Like, look at these numbers.

Blue Brrauto: 740 ammo, 120 damage.
Blue Shotgun: 76 ammo 412 damage.

Even the brown heavy stubber only gets 537 ammo and 132 damage.

tall torrent
#

the problem is that shotguns could take 2~3 shots to kill in their "max dmg ranges"

orchid nova
#

That too but

tall torrent
#

and their 1-tap ranges just aren't far enough

orchid nova
#

even if it was

tall torrent
#

so the ammo cost is artifically inflated

orchid nova
#

they have very low total damage per reload

#

I'm not disagreeing. I'm saying even if it wasn't artifically inflated and they spread that damage out perfectly, they'd still be miles behind similar weapons

tall torrent
#

like, revolver doesn't have statistically high dmg with the amount of ammo u bring

orchid nova
#

It is when the ammo efficiency becomes an issue

tall torrent
#

and it's the best gun on veteran bar none

orchid nova
#

Yes, but shotgun isn't revolver. It's used very differently and you know this

tall torrent
#

how so

orchid nova
#

that's why I'm comparing it to brrauto

tall torrent
#

they're usually in similar builds

#

WS + always prepared

orchid nova
#

it's pretty much a mid-short range inaccurate weapon

#

and you have to swap to slug fire to change that

tall torrent
#

I think they need to have much more consistent damage profile and better 1 shot range vs gunners & flamers
and maybe faster reload speed innately

orchid nova
#

I'm not disagreeing. I'm just saying more ammo won't hurt

tall torrent
#

could get a bit more yea

orchid nova
#

Especially when their current ammo counts are so egregious

tall torrent
#

90~130 baseline wouldn't be bad

orchid nova
#

revolver swaps nigh instantly

#

and does more damage than saltzpyre ult

tall torrent
#

but rly they need better dmg & better dmg consistency

orchid nova
#

if they could afford to double tap more often that wouldn't be as much of an issue either too

#

shotguns inherently have issues with consistency and range.

#

if we just made it a differently skinned lever action rifle that wouldn't really make them play like shotguns IMO

#

There's a point where you lower the spread to and it stops feeling like a shotgun

tall torrent
#

I don't think lowering spread is a good solution

#

I think increasing the minimum pellet count value and per-pellet dmg would go a long way

orchid nova
#

true

tall torrent
#

agripinaa slug also needs a dmg buff

orchid nova
#

but they did that for Kickback then kneejerk nerfed it so that the only thing minimum pellet value can take out is sniper

umbral parrot
#

Check this bad boy out!

#

Love it so much but yea, Shot Gun is a waste.

orchid nova
#

Shotguns in vermintide also had best-in-class horde and especially berserker damage. That'd be an interesting angle to push it towards IMO.

umbral parrot
#

I mean, Kickback and Double Barrel does that, right?

#

Combat Shotgun just.... does nothing

orchid nova
#

not really

#

like

#

kickback does decent damage into a single rager but

umbral parrot
#

No buts, it's badass.

#

As a former Ogryn main, Ripper was useless because of the Kickback

#

That's how good it is!

wild vortex
#

Kickback is literally the best non PBB weapon Ogryn has, and it's decent enough even with PBB vs non-monstrosities

tall torrent
#

Combat shotgun takes 3 shots to kill a single Dreg rager

#

DB shotgun takes 1 braced double shot to kill 3

orchid nova
#

I honestly prefer the GG

#

takes out specials very reliably

#

for everything else there's melee

wild vortex
#

yeah let me just perfectly line up four grenades while the gunner line is piling on me after I have spent 3 business days reloading, instead of just chucking two or three kicky blasts at them while menacingly getting closer and killing a few and suppressing the rest by the time I reach them

#

makes sense

tall torrent
orchid nova
#

also it takes like 1 grenade to kill a gunner if you built for it

wild vortex
umbral parrot
#

Then die lol

orchid nova
#

granted that involves 2s charge up

lilac kayak
wild vortex
orchid nova
#

kickback otoh can't pop gunners even with surgical, sadly

#

ogryn weapons have piss-poor crit values

umbral parrot
#

Then you close the distance and give em a good wack

orchid nova
#

fun to knock em down and whack em tho

umbral parrot
#

Especially since you can charge or taunt.

orchid nova
#

still, at that point I'd just skip the knockdown and just slide forward and whap

orchid nova

How's this for Combat Shotgun?

tall torrent
orchid nova
#

fun fact

#

Full Bore works on slugs

#

all of 1 pellet

umbral parrot
#

I mean.... NOT BAD

#

But why the frick is it 3 shots!?

tame lodge
#

Aiming Down Sights?

tall torrent
#

Yea, the damage & damage consistency is horrible

umbral parrot
#

How did you pull off 3 shots!? It's taking me more.

tall torrent
#

Aim down sights

#

Changes minimum pellet count value

#

Still pretty slow TTK tho

umbral parrot
#

Oh, lol duh. Didn't think about Aiming

tame lodge
#

Unexplained FS mechanic mentioned 🗣️🔥

umbral parrot
#

But this is tempting, even you guys have to admit that.

tame lodge
#

Unless you inspect the ADMs or something

tall torrent
#

Like, for a low ammo & slow firerate weapons I think they generally need:
consistent 1 headshot kills vs flamers & gunners
Potentially 1 bodyshot kills vs shotgunners (nice to have, optional)
Potentially 1 bodyshot kills vs trappers (nice to have, optional)

#

Combat shotguns just don’t do any of that

orchid nova
tall torrent
#

All firing modes for all 4 human shotguns

umbral parrot
#

Implying Ogryns are not human? Shame on you

tall torrent
#

Game calls them abhumans

umbral parrot
#

ab-Humans

tall torrent
#

Fatshark also calls “universally shared weapons” as “human weapons”

#

If u got a better term for that and it happens to be short I could use it instead

just because its box fed doesnt mean its auto

not really a combo you see often IRL

i mean its still valid

There's technically nothing stopping them from doing i

#

like

hollow ibex
#

yeah i mean it's not like common sense is really a thing in 40K anyway

orchid nova
#

they also do super overdramatic pumping motions

#

whereas we don't

hollow ibex
#

it's whatever the fuck they want to do lol

tawny timber
#

well it wouldnt be very good to play against if they magdumped you

hollow ibex
#

yeah ofc

#

would be hilarious tho

orchid nova
wind grotto
#

yeah the reason why they don't pump as fast as player shotguns do is very obvious

tawny timber
#

imagine lmao

orchid nova
#

Yeah they'd have to nerf the damage and kb

tawny timber
#

getting tarkov magdumped

orchid nova
#

at that point they'd just be like,

#

gunners

#

man does drugs, blasts an entire patrol of cahos warriors and ends up with 1 more ammo than he started with

#

Imagine being able to do that with kickback or double barrel

tawny timber

i love vermintide infinite ammo builds

Man, wish i got into it

I honestly just lost faith in vt2 balancing

tawny timber

shit that was kinda mid got nerfed

#

while the cancer of worlds wasn't

umbral parrot
#

My issue with VT2 is...

#

You can't create your character

#

BOOOO

orchid nova
#

It's minimal nerfs but

tawny timber
#

the premade characters are amazingly written

orchid nova
#

enough for me to decide y'know what, fuck this

wind grotto
#

you are probably in the vast minority for the character part there

orchid nova
#

yeah

#

Honestly the characters have a lot of personality and backstory

wind grotto
#

the only upside darktide has for the character creation is that there can be two vets

orchid nova
#

you really don't get that in darktide

wind grotto
#

or etc

orchid nova
#

And the voices are so annoying

umbral parrot
#

I love the voices in Darktide~!

orchid nova
#

Cutthroat and Judge just sound so tryhard

umbral parrot
#

Ogryns still make me giggle.

tall torrent
orchid nova
#

Agreed

#

it makes him muffled

#

do other mufflers work as well?

umbral parrot
#

Yea, or any voice modification. Still, love his VoC

wind grotto
#

I don't mind most of the voices, I just think none of the player characters actually feel like real characters

umbral parrot
#

They feel real enough for me.

orchid nova

If only they just

#

doubled down on the backstories

Ogryn backstory legitimately fucked

Sorry but that's a big turn off.

I can record voice differences in a bit

There’s a HUGE difference between base and scion helmet for cutthroat

No he ain't.

Don't think I tried the 'sion' helmet but I tried other ones that are supposed to have it

you probably have them turned off or have a mod that turns them off then

tall torrent
umbral parrot
#

Not even close, what the heck!?

That helmet looks awful

I want to get the hilariously fugly voice modulator implant stuck in the mouth thing in the current pack

AND MY GAME CRASHED just as i was going to record it!@

Also what is this "communicating with fatshark..." I see now.. dangit

Just checked. Headgear voice effect is on so dunno

Maybe a Console thing?

If you're on the Xbowks

Wait there is Kasrkin drip in this game too?

Yes

Kasrkin armour

Let me guess also out of Rotation

Yes

#

The best we got is the veterans sentry armour

#

Cadian armour

warm vortex
#

I am grind EXP so i can unlock VoC and unlock that Armor

stoic thorn
#

Complete with the cadian shoulder symbol and cadia stands inscribed on the back of the shirt

You can also buy a rebreather helmet from the commisary

Which doesn't have rotation

Neat

Whelp, shredder autopistol is my last mastery. How do I make this dogshit worth something?

Woah... i think i blew up Discord lol

NOT EVEN!

I dunno whats worse than shredder though. One of the shotguns?

stoic thorn
#

FUCK

arctic rampart
#

Honestly you should do like 10 or 20 missions and not use shredder

warm vortex
#

If Ogryns had Bolters and Chainswords all they would need next is a heavily Armoured outfit and you got yourself a Space Marine with the Downies

Just max masteries and play every mission in auric

Also do some class specific penances

The loyalist moebian armour is the closest thing I know of Tempestus Scion armour

It’s pretty far

#

Just looks kind of similar

stoic thorn
#

Same colour

tall torrent
#

Nah

#

Older editions maybe

#

Currently no

#

And scion helmet doesn’t match color

stoic thorn
#

WHAT

umbral parrot

Found this in #darktide-driptide

#

Not out yet, so it must be in the files.

Yea it’s been datamined a while back

Unfinished

How far back? Really?

If it comes out with no gloves I’m not buying

YUCK

I noticed that too

Dang

tall torrent
#

Or smth

#

Maybe earlier

umbral parrot
#

Still not something i'm planning to wear. But.... still cool

tall torrent
#

Actually no

#

It was much earlier

#

It was in the penances update

umbral parrot
#

Dang

#

Regardless, cosmetics are cool

#

And THEY FINALLY added Black Power Sword

#

Soooooo happy about that.

tall torrent
#

I’m prob just gonna stick by this unless they drop some serious banger skins

#

Clean look

umbral parrot
#

No matter what i buy... the Penance update gave me the Infiltrator's tactical gear. THE BEST

tall torrent
#

If they drop Tanith 1st and only with a sniper cloak for veteran I might get it

umbral parrot
#

I really do look more like an Inquisitorial Shock Trooper than anything else.

Most cosmetics clip too much

tall torrent
umbral parrot
#

I want a red armband though. To fit with my headband.

umbral parrot
#

Good luck fighting off germs with that

tall torrent
#

And the short sleeves are part of why this set has no clipping lmao

#

If the gloves / sleeves are too big / thick it clips into some weapons’ models in 1st person

umbral parrot
#

I never noticed... oh crap, going to now keep an eye on it lol.

I never noticed it so it's not true

REGARDLESS.

As for that black power sword skin
Just doesn’t look nearly as good as the other 2 power sword skins that came out before it

Nah, the other Power Swords look over the top. Did not buy them at all

However, black? Smooth AF

Hate the rotating store that doesn’t even rotate consistently cri

umbral parrot

I hate it too.

hallow drift
#

It’s sad because bringing back hot items like the Cadia and Krieg outfits would literally print them money

#

But some executive is just like “mmm but like, what if we got just a bit more making them wait another month”

#

The reality being that most casual players who might’ve dropped the cost of a sandwich on a cosmetic without any mind have burned out by the time the drip they wanted comes back

#

Checking the commodore’s vestiture on veteran these last couple rotations has been sad

warm vortex
#

Is there a Good LasGun or Autogun i should look out for for Early Level Veteran and whats a good Build i should Work towards

rigid schooner
#

as for infantry lasgun, i personally don't gel with them so i can't offer much

warm vortex
rigid schooner
#

but they're all servicable copies of the same idea in light, medium, heavy variants

vet can honestly make any of the guns you can get work

rigid schooner

though you may have to lean into certain things with your talents

rigid schooner

also that's probably not going to be an issue for someone leveling and playing with friends

i'm trying to find that picture where someone got an autopistol with a 2% damage stat

tawny timber

#

cool bullgryn techs

#

that said, with ammo regen and deeper reserves you may be able to sustain it

#

huh, i've never actually played with shredder on vet lol

ionic bear
#

dear vetters
can i get some infiltration builds that DONT use a revolver and knife

merry coral
grand perch
#

I have one that goes for WS with las pistol and chaxe. Too bad I'm at work rn

#

fuck it

#

stealth bolter it is

dry cloak
#

combat axe power sword

merry coral
#

I've never used infiltrate tbh

ionic bear
#

secret rager class

dry cloak
#

yes

#

those are the melee i use for infiltrate

grand perch
#

Both these weapons have really good draw times, why the weird 1 point dip into one motion? Looks great otherwise

#

You could get -0.25sec stamina regen delay for that

somber adder
#

Fast

grand perch
#

(also get rid of exploit weakness it's absolutely horrible)

somber adder
#

I love instant blap from the shotty

grand perch
#

It's indistinguishable from instant without one motion anyway

somber adder
grand perch
#

Yeah that build is kind of screwed if crushers keep coming but you can buy time staggering them with shotgun

warm vortex
grand perch
#

Alas, the autopistol is pretty much the opposite of all that

warm vortex
#

Then how is 2% Damage Warranted

#

Cause i see no point in using that if its the case

grand perch
#

Ammo: needs to be more
Recoil: manageable but it's braced anyway
Accuracy: lol
Fire rate: it's full auto but it needs to be fuller auto

#

Easily the worst weapon in vet arsenal.

tawny timber
#

Worst in game status

brittle turtle
somber adder
#

Then why are you telling me again

brittle turtle
#

cause out for blood is GOOD

somber adder
#

Eh, it's okay

brittle turtle
#

Its spectacular, especially since you use a shotgun

somber adder
#

And I still need to take the toughness node instead of weakness exploit

brittle turtle
#

true

#

to be honest, the bottom node of weapon specialist is also really good

somber adder
#

It's also okay but I don't want to drop my crackhead swap speed

brittle turtle
#

nah, you need to keep it for weapon specialist

grand perch
#

Not with these weapons

somber adder
#

Really depends on the weapons

brittle turtle
#

but, honestly, i'd keep the right top tree instead of middle top tree

somber adder
#

I just like it even faster

somber adder
#

You don't want to drop that

brittle turtle
#

It's good, but there is out for blood

#

I know I'm repeating, but consider, a shotgun blast into a horde ? That's between 30-40% regen instantly

somber adder
#

That is not even close though, the toughness regen stacks infinitely

#

On Confirmed kill

brittle turtle
#

if you were to blast 5 specialists or elites in a row, in which case you are probably already doing fine

#

I'm not denying confirmed kill is a very good node, but out for blood removes your need to search for those elites and specials when in critical needs

#

a burster removed your thoughness or a mutant slammed you ? any group of enemies will do

#

that's my opinion anyway, confirmed kill is a good node to keep, I'd simply value right tree more

somber adder
#

That's fair. I'd love to take both but you usually don't have to look for elites or specials on aurics which is where I dwell

brittle turtle
#

its a shame for the fireteam aura, though

#

but smokes being what they are, no choice

earnest bone
#

which in return turns you into a terminator for a short time

brittle turtle
#

yeah, but you were already killing 5-10 specialists+ elites beforehand

earnest bone
#

out for blood would be amazing without that 1 tax point

#

which useful for something like Bolter

#

otherwise an easy skip

#

you are basically paying 2 points

brittle turtle
#

true, but you can also grab the mov speed node

#

its a hard life, both trees are good and fill a role

earnest bone
#

barely any choice

brittle turtle
#

stamina or mov speed ? thoughness and regen on specials/elites or thoughness on hordes ? Swap speed or more thoughness protection ? hard choices

earnest bone
#

vet tree vs zealot tree

#

250 iq vs 50

brittle turtle
#

yeah, zealot tree is even more stuck to the same nodes

#

Ogryn and psykers have some good diversity

austere mica
#

Zealot is just stuck to the 2 forever

brittle turtle
#

I mean, if you give a 50% thoughness protection on crit, on a class with lots of crits, you bet people are gonna build around it

austere mica
#

Ignoring Second Wind is a choice

brittle turtle
#

you can get both

austere mica
#

I know but not mentioning it when it’s like

#

The

#

Best toughness regen

brittle turtle
#

Zealot has so much damage reduction it almost feels like they cant die anyway

grand perch
#

They get knocked down, but they get up again

#

and if they"re lucky
