fellas whats the average boltgun blessings look like
+24% explosion range with can explode at close quarters then a fun one
Meta?
fun meaning damage bonus you can keep using with your play style
(honestly I'm just less sure outside that one blessing)
also perks of course 99% of the time maniac flak lol
Aren't you thinking of bolt pistol? I forgot if they added lethal proximity to bolt gun too
do not know but take if they did :v
uhhh search for hammer of the emperor guide and do what it tells you
use it as your magic conch
Surgical Pinning
Surgical Puncture
Shattering Puncture
Shattering Cavalcade (zealot)
Uh
Am I forgetting something 
Pinning Cavalcade?
Uh whatever
Check the guide
See pins for the guide. Very well made and has explanations on the choices made
We get words and prayers
So, jackshit
Ill tell him
lmao the mobility on this one
They put a tungsteen cube in that one
honestly that's what I learned on ogryn. Crouch when meleeing. Stand up and shoot over lil ones in the rear when shooty.
It's actually worse because all my previous godrolls are now worthless and cost nothing. Even worse, they are no longer godrolls and just suck. Bring back the old system so I can grind 20 aurics to get one weapon.
Also don't 'wiggle' as ogryn ever. You big. Have the principle of least surprise where you do the least surprising thing always.
And then not get it even after 20
Weapons don't feel deserved
Even better, bring back the release version of itemization
And remove locks
Just random all of it
No hadron re blessings and refining
I NEED TO GAMBLE
LETS GO GAMBLING
honestly also easier to defend from chokepoints and melee from the sides
oh yeah also try to stay on the sides
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
truly the thing that marks us as inquisitorial grunts is that we have to gamble for our weapons
remove any indication of what the stat bars are so we have no idea what the fuck a stopping power even is or how much of it our weapons actually have
also no numbers you have to guess
The good ol bars
Oh yes three quarters of a bar of damage
I surely know what this means
hey does this new weapon have a slightly fuller bar.i can't tell
There was always the attack breakdown viewer
ahahahahahga
hahahhaha
ga
haaaa

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.
Emperor is laughin on his throne I think
how much you would regenerate if you could regenerate toughness
Old bar system did suck ass but there was at least one good way to see dmg
That pretty nutty then.
Going to be running that from now on.
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)
also yes. Yes it is.
you basically keep the entire team capped it's silly
Zealot is sussy baka
Vets got some great team support.
I like a zealot
Nuh uh
zealot chat is a wicked place
Just started about a week ago loving the hellbore lasgun
sweet summer child
In 3 days, you will hate it
explode.
Then in another 3 you'll love it
helbore is fun
Ahh like railgun in helldivers
i dont say its not fun.
I never full charge it
If you're an 80 year old who yells at kids to get off of his backyard
then youre playing it wrong frankly
Just enough to kill what I'm shooting at wasting ammunition is heresy
@dry cloak sounds like heresy
get yourself the blue one
Mines red
Fixed
That's the funny part
Helbore is ammo neutral/positive
skin
Yea
helbore is fun though
blue one i.e the fastest one
idk why being old would make it more fun?
because it’s slower?
helbore is plenty strong
Are you talking plasma?
no
the different marks of the helbore
Not as strong as my recon lasgun taking out hordes of enemies
There's a new one coming?
magdumping hordes
this explains
there’s 3 marks, you can change them in your inventory
no
on the upper right where it says “marks”
this one
click that
Yea I've tried all three
Hordes of gunners
helbore can kill swarms of gunners easily lol
weight of fire makes it shoot plenty fast enough
and you’ll usually one shot them
and anyway, recon las is very strong lmfao
no point to compare them
I use MK IIIa
Fair
Idk why I don't like how it looks
Infantry lasgun is also fun
all las weapons are fun
infantry las
…
brings me back……
the mk12 lasgun used to be OP
now it’s just
worthless
lmfao
power creep
yummers
Need lascannon
that would be a ogryn weapon
best catachan sword?
i’m pulling a blank on the name
but
mk4 i think?
mo
mk7?
it’s sweep into ovehead
This one?
heavies
mk7
yah
This
But I wonder why? MK IV with vanguard light combo and strikedown on h1 looks better at first glance
i think this is becuase of hordeclear i presume
MK4 is best yeh
The one with holes
Best horde clear, but shat armour damage
no it’s the mk7 that’s best
all 3 have bad armor damage
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
Ohk
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
just light into heavy
with mk7
and it’s got overhead light after heavy
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone
Ho Ho Ho!
for weapons with alternating lights/heavies for horde clear, i only use ones that go L1 H2
cba'd to change my muscle memory for a single weapon for 2% improved dps against single targets 
Same
how does it feel bad against ragers
it’s probably the best anti rager melee lmfao

infantry lasgun
IIb
can i see VII by comparison?
When I get a vet with VoC who didnt pick the yellow thoughness 
based lad
Heresy
nah, he was dreadful
Next one is gonna run res shout
lasgun rifle user who couldnt shoot a horde to save his own life
Merciful emperor help us
We must educate that poor guardsman. He did not read is vet primer
If your teammates can’t see, your enemies probably can’t either 
true meta
mfer out here giving lung cancer to his teammates
falter might be meta on mk7 infantry lasgun lol
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
yeah looks like a fair judgement
That is MK7 infantry lasgun
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
DRG has a similar phenomenon with engineer's minishells
it interrupts the attack
so let's say a flamer starts flaming
u hit them in the head with mk7 infantry lasgun with falter
gunner already shooting?
it stops their attack
yes
nah it doesn't
falter + ghost
crits don't push any breakpoint on mk7
they're at best for shock trooper ammo save
god the blessings are shit on ilas
Ik
I can't help but feel that the light helbore does it's job better
if you talk shit about ilas, i will haunt your sleep
I don't need to
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
does going for MF and subnodes do anything interesting for them in your opinion?
so thats why its always been a onetap machine for me
I feel like inflas needs more soft stats to be competitive;
Handling, swap speed, reload, recoil, etc
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
they could make unyielding ADM better. not a significant buff i just dont know why its rather low
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
My favorite
pew pew enjoyers 
can sum1 post recon las build pls
honestly my biggest gripe with the ilas and shotguns for the matter is the 1.75 stam/s sprint cost
Tanner x Mr E Darktide family content is something I am looking forward to
When Mr E makes a "joke" :
True but I don't do much sprinting w/ the ilas
They could use a bit of a damage buff against flak also
Is the chainsword bugged? It feels like the weapon constantly 'sticks' in attack animations and takes extra frames to complete attacks
It saws
he's totally grooming Tanner
Tanner embracing his catboy arc
WAIT
NO
NO
THE PROPHECY IS COMING TRUE
''There is no luck in Darktide'' Mr E compilation of best quotes
you guys think characters should get reactions to everyone dying?
for the vets could be:
cutthroat: "i survived cadia, ill survive without them"
professional: "reminds me of that campaign on planet name
loose cannon: "useless karkers, as always"
they already do
they dont?
oh you mean literally everyone at once
They do for teammates dying, not sure if they do for being the last person standing

i feel confirmed in my position to take rending strikes over bring it down
I'm only gonna cover exe stance breakpoints for a few weapons I think
infantry lasgun (3)
helbore lasgun (3)
boltgun (1)
bolt pistol (1)
debating on if I want to cover vigilant autoguns with exe stance
nah
Rending strikes for IIb?
get gale to do it
i mean i have 2 builds with braced autoguns that use exec ill be glad for any less optimal exec weapons you cover with it 
he's currently inhaling large amounts of copium trying to check vigilant autoguns' stagger breakpoints with/without falter
it's extra complicated because of stagger stacking and 2 of the v.autos are bursts lol
I'm surprised he determined the vigilant autoguns were even worth the effort to figure out breakpoints in their current state.
He kinda biggest fan then
Is Dueling Sword and Las Pistol valid for playing a Krieg commisar?
You’re a commisar, anything involving a pistol is already passing grade
Anything else is personal preference imo, commissars love varying their melee weapons
Yeah it's just if they actually using it lore wise
wtv?
Whatever
Short answer: Yes
Wish we could dual fucking wield sword & pistol
Tbh isn't the longlas gonna suffer from the issues that the other long range high damage weapons suffer
Being not as good as the plasma rifle and revolver?
A9 and V7 are actually Decent on Stagger BPs
I DM'd path all the stagger BPs
probably expect that in the Vet Guide on steam if he attempts adding them LMAO
@tall torrent I'll do Helbore's and Shaul's later not tonight
that was kinda miserable trying to mentally do all that
@orchid hemlock I'd rather the word is reclaimed like other words were reclaimed to no longer have a negative connotation. Also those two words have very different meanings: one referes to physical appearance alone, the other has a much deeper significance
no
stern but fair 
Maybe, but who cares
Its iconic and adds variety
Just gotta see how they implement it
"reclaiming" or not, my existence is not trying to "trick" people into believing I am something else
as far as I can tell using the word that way is wrong, it's karking tragic that some people take that sort of argument seriously. alas, that's the world we live in. sadge
wrong as in not the intended way to use it
like in orange is the new black they start calling the prisoners cookies because they can't use the B word but that's not what a cookie is, they are using it wrong
I think if they made the special let you swap power levels from lower damage more battery to high damage low battery and then also change sights from irons to scope it'd be good
is this talking about the word that weebs use for trans women
or ig trans people as a whole
Is traps what weebs use for trans women >_>
Thats terrible
but it’s been used as a slur against trans women
the original usage of the word came from a transphobic weeb convention, and regardless the way it is used the predominant class of people who use it are gooner CIS weebs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxeB2AXIG3E&t=812s&pp=ygUSdGhleSBhcmUgbm90IHRyYXBz

yummers video essay
I remember using it in highschool when it was popular but at the time I didn't know it was a slur and I was just following my friends
that’s usually how it goes for highschool lmfao
You know now that you put it like that it makes a lot more sense
hell, the characters they use the name on don't even call themselves this
But I agree that some slurs shouldn't be reclaimed tbh
why would they, they got all sorts of other titles to call themselves
hell that pink haired fucker is a whole knight
weebs being japanphiles but can't even read 2 sentences without going 'where are the subtitles'
alright see ? this is exactly what I'm talking about. there is nothing in the show about preferences or pronouns, astolfo is literally just a guy who looks like a girl. That's what I'd say is a trap. associating that with trans women is nasty and unfair, not to mention improper.
yah and also the term “trap” itself implies that the person is attempting to trick whoever they’re interested in,
for example, a trans woman interested in a man
by calling the woman a “trap”, you implicitly state she is not a woman, but instead a man attempting to trick another man
It's just slang being used as slang 
no this is conventionally false
you people are taking this shit too seriously lol
Asotlfo's gender is never revealed in the original matieral
@radiant chasm u see this shit?
harmful slang
most slang is
it’s vet chat
this is not surprising
thats why the term slurs exist
tru
no, most slurs are
lack of empathy
A lot of people tend to lack it 🚬
"it doesn't bother me" no shit sherlock, are you part of the demographic that it represents?
are you like
idek
yall are takin this too serious gang
basic fucking empathy!!!!
nah im stopping this right in its tracks before it gets off the ground
it already was imo orcka
If it doesn't bother you quit yapping
it bothers me that other people are bothered
<@&735928989146939404>
time to bring in the holy prometeum and sanitize the chat
im with u on shutting this down orcka but u did pass a whole video essay on the topic
so that got me confused
So you're saying people can't be bothered if slurs are used to describe them, but if someone is upset about that it's a problem? lol
because im trying to actually educate yall on where it came from and why we don't want yall to use it 💀
attempting to educate on here? you are a very hopeful man
why did this conversation even start in vet chat to begin with 
And I appreciate it
Never knew the exact origin
more power to you
i don't want to see politics on my darktide gaming discord lmao
i posted this as a joke between mister E and Tanner
LMFAO
maybe none of this would've started if you stop posting garbage generated by garbage
garbage content creators living rent free in your head
i hardly ever see anyone post shit from shittubers
you're the one giving them attention that they don't deserve
being a todler like this and showing a lack of empathy is not my job to make yall feel comfortable about it
I personally think you should probably reflect on your life if you think offending people is funny and you just call them snowflakes for getting offended over it 🚬
fax
That's just me though 🚬
somehow this chat always ends up being a cluster when shittubers are brought up, so let's maybe just stop giving them attention
i was responding to this: #veteran-class message
cool
Regardless of anything else, this is clearly a rule 11 vio
quick tell me who is to blame
mage
oh Gawain is here cool he can handle it
ill delete it
Please and thanks
(sorry Gawain but my food is almost ready)
All good my dude, enjoy
ill start from here: #veteran-class message
i didnt know hank moonlighted as a doordasher
wtf is happening?
This is an very veteran chat moment
real
The average Vet chat moment
nothing to worry bout its over already
2 infantry lasguns done 
I HATE MY CHUD CHAT
says the issue
multiple people are trying to """"""""""""reclaim""""""""""""" a transphobic slur 💀
so many quotes
i didnt know you liked me this much meow
What the heck happened
First time I've seen vet chat be a mess. Usually its general or #zealot-class 
i find you very annoying
can we just go back to crying about vet not getting a weapon in the next patch? jfc
Zealots being nasty? Never
then talk with me more, maybe that'll change but thats just be being hopeful 
You will add... the VA's to the guide....
do wtv u want
I went through that pain you are adding them
every interaction with you only reinforces my opinion
so, that won’t change
Should I get KFC
no get chick fil a
No
imo accepting it as a slur gives more power to the people who use it as a slur. you are playing their game
it’s so good
Bojangles all the way
My final word on the subject matter is "please focus more on the shooty blam blam guy, less on things likely to cause massive arguments"
LMAO yes, let's have a bunch of vitamin deficient weebs get to label me as a hentai tag 💀
At least one of us can be hopeful lol, have a great thanksgiving
If you're not the target demographic of a slur you don't get an opinion on if it should be reclaimed.
fair, i rest my case
this is going to cause a massive argument
Just like men with women's issues lol I don't get why so many men feel like they get a say
Reminding you every day
Wait why does his guide need VA's?
Anyone else ready to have their hopes of justified nerfs to bolter and plasma being shattered on the 3rd?
Vigilant
Auto's
Oh
LOL
no matter the nerfs or buffs, ima still use my plasma
can never get over making blue soccer sized holes in people
Did you get paid minimum wage
After Helbore and shock maul u might as well go check grievous wounds for zealot
2 pennies
I can respect that. But the amount of people running around on aurics either completely trivializing the mission or magdumping everything into the first poxwalker only to vacuum up the entire ammo supply is vexing.
Omg you're just like those little chimney sweeper boys
are there balance changes planned for the next update ?
Anyways Vet chat I'll dump the super duper pre-alpha guide Stagger BP's in here for your eyes to see and absorb the knowledge
baby's 1st plasma runs never get old, sorry you had to experience that 
Most likely
I think best way to nerf plasma would be to nerf its ammo
i get second hand embarassment when i see a fellow plas shooter explode
Nah
I think it would be to nerf left click and buff charged shots
the plasma gun change we need is to give it to psyker
C3: 3 Round burst
A9: 2 Round
V7: Single Fire
I would like a plasma pistol ngl
My idea for plasma changes
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 but can cleave through carapace armor (can hit 2 crushers)
brace fire dmg vs carapace & unyielding massively increased
Basically from what I learned from this
C3 kinda fucking sucks staggering things
A9 and V7 are good though
instructions unclear, buffed plasmagun damage by 200%
i mean VA suck in general lol
Get fried rice
On everyone minus Vet
keep in mind this is talentless
Vet makes them playable
I read somewhere the VA has really shitty recoil if you're moving
Which is kinda dumb no?
That’s every gun that has recoil
Vraks is pretty manageable imo
stationary fire will always be better than moving fire recoil wise
for obvious reasons 
having more recoil while moving is like, most video games i think
Crouching reduces recoil, moving increases recoil
No but Idk the vid I saw was the vraks had like really unreasonable amounts
Which gun?
Maybe I'm crazy I've never tried it before
Any of the Vigilant Auto's under 70 Stability
fatshark's lucky we dont have a prone function or we'd be hitting the sickest drop shots for the sake of recoil 
I think it was the 2 shot one?
That’s Agripinaa IX
My favorite gun...
Maybe I should try vraks
There’s no Vraks vigilant autogun anymore
Matters on how you want to play imo
Graia VII my beloved
Shanghai 360 or bourbon st grill
@faint beacon should I add recoil gif to ranged weapons
wtf did they do with the vigilant autogun names?
change them
What to show off their recoil?
Yea
like, I have these 
i wonder if it'll get to the point where you add enough gifs to lag someone's pc
ADS?
cause sometimes hip and ADS are drastically different
Perfect
maybe just fire for 3 seconds
because 20 shots on a recon vs 20 shots on a revolver are very different
I can’t precisely control “3 seconds”
I’m not doing recoil for revolver
Aren't there pre existing YouTube vids of people just firing every weapon
Only for weapons you’ll actually fire multiple shots to kill 1 enemy with
I feel like you could cut your work in half by just linking a vid like that with time stamps
Gifs look cooler in the guide
That's true
suppression gifs when?
That’s actually a good idea
worked pretty well with the side by side comparison with the stagger talent ogryn has, granted those were videos
still should function the same way
Im guessing they'll make it similar to the scab sniper's shot
Big lasblast that pierces though multiple things to kill its target
I got generic Chinese food
My issue with that is it'll be too slow
Its turkey day, no Chinese food for me
I only recently learned Canada had a turkey day
tada
Recoil showcase
And I also the murdering and the raping of the natives which is very unfortunate
recoil haxx
Such an indepth guide
Glad I'm not white
mk7
i just noticed the lamp seems to recoil differently than the gun itself
what lamp
my favorite, the parkinsons gun
the torch on the right hand side
Speaking of long las I'm reminded of back in payday2 when Thanatos and heavy crossbows were meta for one down
Still would prefer a melta first over a longlas
Lots of fire?
Boo
he gets the longlas too, as a sort of spear
weapons: implemented. massive monkey paw wish granted
melta would be both
Does melta work lorewise the way it works in sm2?
Both is good
Where it's like a shotgun?
Oh
Melta is a beam
Oh that's better
It's just a shotgun in space marine because they wanted a shotgun
and then GW never said no
so now we have two canonical ways the same weapon functions
Could also see melta pistols
Which is kinda weird no considering how GW control freaks over everything else
Space marine 1 invented a weapon
the 1st space marine built something?
i dont have a video or anything but fire warrior did melta pretty well i seem to remember

and if you know fire warrior, youre old
I wanna try it
Nice
ah, the one that should be taken behind a shed and shot out of mercy
The Vengeance launcher
Could start to see some of the more obscure weapons. Combat shotties, purgatas crossbow, plasma carbine needle rifle
If they are not working on the 5th class of a tech acolyte and go the skittari weapons
Plasma gun in darktide is more accurate to the lore than plasma in Space Marines, which is essentially an anti armour grenade launcher.
It was in boltgun also
yeah space marines plasma guns feel weird, but its probably for balance sake in PvP
Have they buffed boltors yet
yes
I'm running the Bolt pistol, I like it but the weapon sway is annoying. I see "run n gun" reduces Spread by 30%; does that mean visual weapon sway is reduced?
No, spread is hipfire/brace spread
The crosshair for the weapon is tightened
I see thanks
is pressing rmb with plasma just worse than spamming lmb?
and what exactly is the perfect plasma roll stat wise?
since I can't have a dump stat
69 thermal 71 charge
this a w
Let's hope empowering doesn't fuck with the rounding 
fingers crossed
Literally unusable
lads
is this anything
No, they did not cook, get them out of the kitchen.
i just want a sniper that feels like a sniper 
Unfortunately, the helbore is very, very hard to use.
it is, but it's also very flavorful
You may be better off with an exe stance mk9 vigilant build.
yeah, that's the way i originally built a sniper vet, but markman's focus is fucking trash and i hate it
You can legit bot walk through mostly ranged maelstroms and not care about anything.
I dont even run mf on mine.
not good
also vigilant is a marksman weapon and not a sniper weapon
I forgot how toxic i get when playing vet
Unless im with a team of zealots everything is too slow and too little damage
weow, almost a god roll
it'll do nicely
wow another build that dedicated a bunch of curios to deadshot, while ditching reciprocity that's only 1 point away
why do people do this?
dump 3 curios for 25% crit on deadshot
skip out the free 25% crit from reciprocity
mostly because i'm not dodging a bunch when i'm aiming down the sights, but fair point ig
here's my one, though it's with a knife
conveniently cropped out your disgusting smoke nades
Dont shittalk the smoke nades, I learnt my lesson, dont go down the path. Im on a watchlist now
The people that love smoke grenades, really love smoke grenades
i struggled hard with the aura and nades tbh
but frags are 🐐 , and survivalist + demolition stockpile are mandatory to me in a build that i'm not hugely confident is adding value just by existing
then at least i'm not subtracting it either
yeah, frags can just clean a room with two of them
i do enjoy smoke grenades but i enjoy them in theory more than practice
they need so much help to be where they should
however
stealth vet + smokes + the midway event in comms-plex
ultimate memes
your team can fix the hacky skull with two thumbs up their ass, they'll never see an elite shooter if you do it right
if the numbers are correct (and this is fatshark, so they may not be) the mk3a is better DPS
probably, but I prefer the mk4's raw damage per shot
it's also pretty funny to see a boss health bar go down from a laser
i'm gonna try it later but i don't think i'm gonna notice the difference on damnation tbh
you're gonna see the difference because the bayonet on the mk4 sucks
haha
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?
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
it's really only useful against gunners and specialists AI
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
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
I have no qualms truthfully, although the smoke should not be deterimental to your allies vision
it should be see-throughable without spamming tag
it interacts so badly with lighting in some places
I'm guilty of bringing smoke to sniper gauntlets
to the point where you just can't see through them at all
Wow, I got no "They're smoke grenades Symbol SMOKE. GRENADES" based chat today 
yeah, smoke shouldn't detriment your vision in a game like this
self inflicted ventilation purge condition
But it's a smoke grenade
well, 75% of my builds use smoke so lol
That's what smoke grenades do
I would agree, if I can't spot through smoke
Its a game, and you want stuff to feel like we'd imagine it to feel. Rather than trying to imitate realism in a game about shooting zombies
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.
||it's tear gas||
Makes them take bonus dmg and bonus stagger while in smoke
I still find it hilarious that smokes can wake up a dh
guess they don't like being hotboxed
Wait rly? Lmao
yeah
loool
Then people would treat them the same as zealot fire grenades and push enemies out of it, thus making it entirely useless
you'd wake up too if i put a smoke grenade on your nose
fair
so Json, considering your avatar, is there going to be Silksong news at the game awards
why don't you just visit the game studio and tell them to chop chop
true, but the thing is, I don't care about silksong
silksong will come out when bloodborne 2 gets released on pc
will it be as bad as dark souls 2, then they will fix it like with dark souls 3
dark souls 2 is a good game!
can't believe you told me to buy malware; I trusted you!
fuwamoco would not approve of this!
Unheavied Laspistol
Zealot grenades are great player expierence testers tho
the ones that dodge and block inside your immolation grenades are instantly the ones you know who are inexpierenced
every day smokes don't put out ground fire like they do in mordhau is a day that smokes don't fuck as hard as they could
it's the one thing there's actually no counter for
zealot chorus doesn't count because it counters everything
Un-las's your laspistol
you are correct, they are borderline useless. which sucks, they shouldn't be.
they don't block shots, they block shooters from having line of sight, but they can and will still shoot at the last place they saw you, so as far as i can tell the best way to use them is to throw them a short distance away and then move into the cloud
and the best time to use them is when the team needs more cover than they have and you have something to do that isn't shooting mfs
oooh that would actually be a great upgrade
there are definitely times our team has gotten screwed over by multiple bombers and forced between a rock and a hard place so to speak
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
Maybe make smoke remove green buff on enemies too idk
zealot chorus should do that if anything should but i don't mind it tbh
Chorus is an ability, smoke is a grenade
Smoke can be thrown 50m away, chorus cant
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
Idk chorus is already busted enough
I think smoke should be emprah blessed tear gas that debuffs enemies and puts out fires
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
Yes basically
Stay inside the smoke
You can see the buff icon right?
anyone know exactly why vet stealth will sometimes make muties drop teammates? feels very inconsistent
best tactical axe for voc vet?
ds2 is mid
Its definitely one of the Fromsoftware games ever
2 or 7
Armored core for answer was the fromsoft game of all time
DS2 best From game for having a dedicated ladder man
coming out of stealth staggers everything near you
or , well, suppresses
that might be sloppy coding wrt the occasional mutie
Mild stagger on breaking stealth
The stagger used to be so low it did basically nothing
Now it actually staggers things
oh sweet
ok that makes sense then
i thought it was just insta-suppress on enemies vulnerable to it
which i didn't think muties were
yeah its weird how it only mentions suppression but only certain ranged enemies and groaners can be suppressed while im staggering maulers with it
fatshark follows the 239th rule of acquisition
never be afraid to mislabel a product
but that mild stagger is so barely noticable im suprised it affects muties
probs coded to ignore resistance, which muties have a lot of
It got buffed
It can even break rager combo
Does this mean you gotta do a crit hit AND a weakspot kill?
Duelling sword
Knife
Power sword
Combat axe
Chainaxe
Shovel
No, critical-weakspot kills

Critical Weakspot
thanku Veteran steam guide WIP
Goodness Vet has so many fucking weapons coming from maining ogryn

56
Real
And then what
Critical weakspot kill?
Yea but like any blessings and talents?
Or just, equip the weapons and bob's your uncle
Point blank on revolver
Riposte on knife / duelling sword
Go shoot/stab specialists & elites while playing weapon specialist the normal way
It’s not complicated

I just did the penance by leveling weapons up to 20
and forget about it
just pick up some crit blessings and talents, weapon specialist also gives you crit chance
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
Weapon specialist I think is my favourite of vets keystones
Focus targets also good but I've never tried the one for executioners stance
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
Crucian I feel like never beats surgical even at its worst
Maybe for agripina
Crucian is generally much less value vs Surgical unless you're firing as fast as you can
Which one was point blank
20% crit on melee kill
Melee kill gives 20% crit chance for 2.5s
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
If you're using weapon specialist that makes sense
Ngl I'm lazy so I prob will just never swap off surgical
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
You’re gonna use WS with revolver anyway
It’s enough for 4 shots
so how does the timing work there
because it feels like the same tricky business behind Surprise Attack and For the Emperor
duration so short
Revolver doesn’t need crit for most breakpoints
Headshot will 1 tap regardless
The only crit breakpoints that matters are rager 1 crit bodyshot
yeah but this was for someone who is asking for tips on penance progress that needs crit weakspot kills
Which point blank is better for
it doesn't need the crit to kill, it needs the crit for penance
2.5s isn't that bad tbh
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
if it's not a crit weakspot kill it doesn't count
He can only proc it from being in melee in the first place
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
I think point blank is just the best crit blessing for revolver tbh
And I said point blank
started talking about Crucian vs Surgical as the 2nd since Hand Cannon still seems to be the important one
Hand cannon is a weird one
Point blank?
Because it only matters for 2 breakpoints
+20% crit chance on melee kill
marksman's focus is hot garbage
the only weapons it benefits are ones that make no sense flavor-wise
Hand cannon gives much easier access to scab rager crit 1 bodyshot
Otherwise u have to take superiority complex
It's the one where you have to stand still right? Not a fan
Wack pathing
On weapon melee or gun melee, the wording is weird
you don't have to stand still tbh
Any melee kill
it's a lot more generous now on movement than it used to be
you can move if you consistently hit headshots
and by consistently i mean "be spraying into a horde at head height with a dakka tube"
That is based
if you manage to get weakspot hits/kills you get "immunity" on stack loss for a few seconds
letting you move around as normal
the only vaguely "marksman" ish gun that MF works with is the vigilant autogun
and that's okay fun
it gets really funny using it with the Recon Mk VIc because you just vomit lasers head height and sit on 10 stacks constantly LOL
Marksmen stacks working against marksmen weapons
my whole entire problem with it
Only rewards spam smh
I think the trap a lot of people fall into with MF is that you think you can sit still and snipe but this isn't that kind of game
you have to be pretty mobile and most fights happen in melee or just beyond melee
Is it good with spam or would no keystone/focus just be better
BP propaganda posting
Just posting it because rending MF is required for this stupid ass breakpoint
there's a really weird obscure breakpoint you can hit with Boltpistol and Deadly Accurate if you go Marksman's Focus, Rending Strikes and CitA
Marksman focus is ok for 3 guns
you can 1 tap Crushers during Exe Stance
it's goofy
and you need 10+ stacks for CitA
i don't heavily fuck with breakpoints on builds that run BP because a) puncture gets them in the end usually and b) i'm using it more for disruption than anything else
I literally just posted it
It works without killzone, I just didn't want to waste the MF stacks I had from sitting in the crate
didn't they buff Boltgun's damage?
I wonder if Boltgun can do it too
no Deadly Accurate though...
Also wait sleepy cats pfp reminded me about this
I won't say any spoilers but goddamn that arcane finale was crazy
Killing is a unicycle and Jayce is a clown
boltgun is completely made obsolete by bolt pistol and desperately needs an upgrade
Not really
also yeah second season of Arcane was amazing
BP can't pull off a 4 shot body shot against crushers with no ranged boosts
the scene with the song Remember Me made me cry
and it doesn't have nearly the same boss burst DPS potential
crushers are exactly the type of mfs you save the ranged boosts for. who else are you aiming at
Zealot
lmao
Zealot can get a 4 shot body shot against them
fair
Boltgun Vets are usually running Exe Stance anyway so like they can still do the much easier 2 tap on Crushers without the funny rending/MF shenanigans
and just go full auto into a pack
i just don't notice anything doing heavy boss DPS on damnation tbh. mfs are tanky
Achlys BLO is insane
psykers get fucking bolters now?
