fun meaning damage bonus you can keep using with your play style

honestly that's what I learned on ogryn. Crouch when meleeing. Stand up and shoot over lil ones in the rear when shooty.

Also don't 'wiggle' as ogryn ever. You big. Have the principle of least surprise where you do the least surprising thing always.

I NEED TO GAMBLE

untold mulch
#

LETS GO GAMBLING

stark panther
#

honestly also easier to defend from chokepoints and melee from the sides

sullen jackal
#

oh yeah also try to stay on the sides

stark panther
#

a lot easier for other ppl to see elites/specialists mixed into the horde that way as well

#

though ofc only if you can find a chokepoint

#

if you cant and find yourself in an area where the shooties are behind you and you cant move to the side, crouching generally is the best way

F: Do you like finesse ? Everbody :

truly the thing that marks us as inquisitorial grunts is that we have to gamble for our weapons

How 'does' born leader work? Is it how much you would generate if you did generate toughness or only what you currently are making. So if I use voice of command at max toughness already would my allies get any more than the +50 yellow or would they also get +30 if I had 200 toughness max.

untold mulch

Emperor is laughin on his throne I think

sullen jackal
queen fox
sonic coyote
#

Going to be running that from now on.

sullen jackal
#

basically at full toughness imagine you were at -0.00000001 off max toughness instead

#

(I don't think missing toughness works but not 100% sure might work off theirs)

i think this is becuase of hordeclear i presume

The one with holes

#

Best horde clear, but shat armour damage

severe gale
severe gale
thin stone
#

I used to think the MK4 was best

severe gale
# thin stone Why's that

horde clear is heavy light

push attack into light overhead has good single target

parry follow up is the light overhead as well, for more damage

#

mk4 is okay

#

but not really that good

thin stone
#

Ohk

hollow ibex
#

I still prefer Mk 4

#

For single target opening with a heavy is preferred

#

Against anything else you’re either spamming parry (rager) or using something else

this gun takes really crazy investment to be pushed into 1-tap vs gunner and flamer (exe stance alone is not enough)

but it can consistent 2 tap headshot without much investment

Honestly my issue with inflas is that sure you have lots of ammo, but you can't push it through the gun in any reasonable amount of time

hearty panther

is it a hard stop stagger?

#

for that entire list?

rigid schooner
#

DRG has a similar phenomenon with engineer's minishells

so let's say a flamer starts flaming

u hit them in the head with mk7 infantry lasgun with falter

it stops their attack

Mk IX infantry lasgun

I will say that if u run exe + falter for Mk IX, u can headshot interrupt mauler overhead and rager combo

#

but that's like

#

extra cursed

grand perch
#

does going for MF and subnodes do anything interesting for them in your opinion?

tall torrent
#

If u want mk7 to one tap

#

U need exe + MF

#

If u want mk9 to one tap

#

U need exe

grand perch
#

so thats why its always been a onetap machine for me

rigid schooner
#

I feel like inflas needs more soft stats to be competitive;
Handling, swap speed, reload, recoil, etc

tall torrent
#

Nah

#

Mainly the inverse falloff profile and flak ADM

#

I think IIb can use a small damage buff to be able to 2 headshot shotgunners without superiority complex

grand perch
#

they could make unyielding ADM better. not a significant buff i just dont know why its rather low

rigid schooner
#

Honestly the recoil for me has always been the deal breaker. It kills my ability to use it a interest in trying it too

#

Even other guns with recoil don't give me trouble

if the numbers are correct (and this is fatshark, so they may not be) the mk3a is better DPS

# crimson wyvern The people that love smoke grenades, really love smoke grenades

ok can someone explain this to me? I have hundreds of hours in Vet and decided to try out smoke grenades and my opinion is they are borderline useless.

I'd throw them down when trying to revive someone or when trying to get a heal off and they didn't last nearly long enough to help. They also don't last long enough to do a good job of blocking incoming fire from ranged enemies.

so what is their use case exactly?

crimson wyvern
#

you can protect your team on the last event in carnival where you get pinned down by 50 gunners that every vet on your team decided to take a plasma gun for and therefore cannot snipe them

#

From my limited understanding

iron marten
#

it's really only useful against gunners and specialists AI

frosty heron
#

I see. I just wish they lasted longer. There are definitely times I could have blocked off fields of incoming fire but it dissipates so quickly

iron marten
#

fair

#

the other use case is against monstrosities, specifically, the beast of nurgle

#

cause instead of vomiting at you from like 15m away, they'll go up to your face instead and try it at that distance

#

same goes for trappers, flamers

crimson wyvern
#

I have no qualms truthfully, although the smoke should not be deterimental to your allies vision

#

it should be see-throughable without spamming tag

broken spade
#

it interacts so badly with lighting in some places

I'm guilty of bringing smoke to sniper gauntlets

Personally, I think they missed a brilliant opportunity to make the smoke grenades be blessed holy anti-nurgle incense burners

Tho that's more of a zealot thing

This holy incense returns righteousness to the heart of the heretic, exposing their lies and deepest doubts to their conscious mind, forcing the heretic to weep uncontrolably with grief at their transgressions.

I like smoke putting out fires that's a good idea

Smoke should be the utility grenade actually, no dmg but lots of secondary effects

zealot chorus should do that if anything should but i don't mind it tbh

queen fox
#

Smoke can be thrown 50m away, chorus cant

little vortex

hence the "if anything should"

it's purely based on the fluff that zealot is channeling the emprah and the gas is blessed by nurgle

queen fox
#

Idk chorus is already busted enough

#

I think smoke should be emprah blessed tear gas that debuffs enemies and puts out fires

little vortex
#

the emprah blessing being the explanation for why it doesn't also cripple the team?

i'd say that's a stretch, but zealot fire is already like that, so why not

# lilac meteor Yea but like any blessings and talents?

Weapon Specialist has a thing where each melee kill gives you a stack and each stack gives 33% crit chance for your next ranged attack on swap so you can just loop slapping things to death, swap to revolver, shoot something in the head to instantly kill it for progress, then return to melee slapping and repeat

#

if you're using Revolver make sure to grab Always Prepared under it so you always have at minimum 1 shot loaded each time you swap

#

3+ melee kills -> shoot something in the head

cobalt crest
#

Weapon specialist I think is my favourite of vets keystones

#

Focus targets also good but I've never tried the one for executioners stance

somber axle
#

I think Revolver goes Hand Cannon + Surgical or Crucian? But tbh if you're using Weapon Specialist either of those are probably unnecessary except for ensuring your second and third shots during the Weapon Specialist buff are also crits

#

so maybe you can sneak in extra crit weakspot hits after your first guaranteed crit if you combo Deadshot + Surgical stacks

#

Revolver is one of the few weapons that Deadshot is fine on imo

#

you'll barely notice the stamina drain

#

Deadshot + Reciprocity at max stacks is an easy 50% crit chance
5% base crit chance from Vet
5% crit talent if you grab it
aim down sights for like literally 1 second (Surgical gives +10% crit chance per 0.3 seconds aiming) you have a 90%-100% crit chance on your shot

cobalt crest
#

Maybe for agripina

somber axle
#

Crucian is generally much less value vs Surgical unless you're firing as fast as you can

tall torrent
#

Point blank > both

cobalt crest
#

Which one was point blank

somber axle
#

20% crit on melee kill

tall torrent
#

Melee kill gives 20% crit chance for 2.5s

somber axle
#

used to be bugged? but if it's fixed it's neat

#

it's still less crit chance vs waiting 1 second while aiming on Surgical

#

but it means you can hip fire the revolver into someone's face without thinking about aiming

cobalt crest
#

Ngl I'm lazy so I prob will just never swap off surgical

somber axle
#

the timing of the buff window seems pretty short

#

2.5 seconds isn't very long tbh

#

and you're already getting guaranteed 100% crit chance on your first shot anyway from killing 2-3 things in melee before swapping

#

you might be able to squeeze out an extra shot with the 20% crit chance before it falls off?

#

but it's doing nothing for the first shot

tall torrent
tall torrent
somber axle
#

that's kinda wild LMFAO

#

so wait the buff triggers on swap or on melee kill?

tall torrent
#

On melee kill

#

Swap is 0.2s

somber axle
#

so how does the timing work there

tall torrent
#

U can shoot 4 times before it expires

#

Swap, shoot

#

It just works

somber axle
#

because it feels like the same tricky business behind Surprise Attack and For the Emperor

#

duration so short

tall torrent
#

Revolver doesn’t need crit for most breakpoints

#

Headshot will 1 tap regardless

#

The only crit breakpoints that matters are rager 1 crit bodyshot

somber axle
#

yeah but this was for someone who is asking for tips on penance progress that needs crit weakspot kills

tall torrent
#

Which point blank is better for

somber axle
#

it doesn't need the crit to kill, it needs the crit for penance

cobalt crest
#

2.5s isn't that bad tbh

tall torrent
#

It needs the crit to kill

#

It specifies Crit weakspot kill

somber axle
#

yeah that's what I said

#

you said it doesn't need crit for most 1 tap weakspot kills

#

that's not important for penance progress since that only tracks crit weakspot kills

tall torrent
#

Yea, what difference does that make

#

He needs to do it within WS’s time frame

somber axle
#

if it's not a crit weakspot kill it doesn't count

tall torrent
#

He can only proc it from being in melee in the first place

somber axle
#

the buff duration lasts a bit longer past the initial guanrateed crit so like

#

you can feasibly squeeze in a few extra kills if you can guarantee follow up crits yeah?

#

and make the penance a little less painful to grind

#

they asked for blessings so

tall torrent
#

I think point blank is just the best crit blessing for revolver tbh

#

started talking about Crucian vs Surgical as the 2nd since Hand Cannon still seems to be the important one
