Incel rage
Imo for what it was it all felt very real
The new batman was if anything very modern feeling
That's fair I guess. I was just disappointed to be hit with the incel stereotype when I was enjoying the movie until then
😭
he knows
paul dano slander. intolerable
luv paul dano, luv me There Will Be Blood, love me directah simple as.
watch it robert and paul are hot
Loved him until then, also not his fault for shitty writing lol
not the best writing for a movie i agree. guess his performance really glossed that over
Very strong still
Especially in havoc and C-I-VI maelstrom
Survivalist is basically mandatory for high havoc, no?
free ammo is good
Where ammo
Yeah, the movie didn't really need excellent writing though. It was very good for what it was until then. Very crungy and weird in a good way. But that monologue just squashed any kind of interest I had for the riddler
Like they could have gone so many different ways with the obvious mental instability combined with ingenuity and they chose a fucking incel

you could make a religion out of this
I used the spearhead bolter it's a must for me
Those two things aren't exclusive 
And yeah, bolter might just be the easiest weapon to use rn
Is plasma gun with 72 thermal and 69 charge rate and 80 in other categories S tier?
A little off perfect but still very good
I mean I saw your guide @tall torrent
how good is recon lasgun?
Correct
Yea
Considering how much of a resource dump it is to get a good plasma I say don’t stress over it
Would you say I should grind for another one or stick with this one
It’s very much usable and better than 99% plasma guns you’ll see people use
you could spend another million gold trying to get it perfect
So keep it and build on it ?
At level 20 the bolter is doing very well by me, kills elites easily, not so ammo starved I can't help with hoards and very effective on monstrosities. Is there a better option I should consider for general play in pub at the moment or a build I should expect I want to transition into as I move my way to level 30?
Im working on reading through the available guides and resources but would also love suggestions for build options around this.
bolter good
Bolter is one of the strongest, if not the strongest primary in the game rn
It's always good
I'd say try out different things, there's a lot fun stuff you might miss out on otherwise. Try to get into the habit of preserving your primary for elites/specials/bosses cause the higher you go in terms of difficulty the more you will need it for those and you will regret eviscerating that horde with your ammo when you could have mulched it with your melee instead.
A lot of people recommend executioner's stance with the bolter for easy elite/special sniping but you can never go wrong with golden toughness shout.
Boltgun requires substantial investment in talent tree to make it as good as it can be (which is very very strong)
But there’re other lower talent point cost weapons that perform well too, you should try different things out
Revolver!
what's unyielding enemy
bosses, bulwark and reaper except for certain parts
Fat fucks
crushers thicc af
Bulwark, unarmored reaper and mini bosses

imagine carapace armoured reaper
Bulwark (shield ogryn)
Reaper (machine gun ogryn)
Plague ogryn
Beast of nurgle
Chaos spawn
Daemonhost
I'm defintiely trying out a range of things at this junciton. I love the hellbore lasgun but it's much less versatile. Not that I need to be versatile if the rest of the team is well balanced and capable. I'm not as fimiiar with the specific builds too
I wish I could get results from the hellbore. I find recon incredibly strong though
ive been running a lot of revolver power sword for vet because my own build couldnt handle endgame, is there anything better thats more fun or more versatile?
Have u considered combat axe
i have not, i tried using dagger and id get handled quickly, so its been a power sword my entire life
the rashaad combat axe is fun and fairly solid
aint got mine maxed yet but its a good mix of single target AP and sweeping crowds
note that brutal momentum is what makes it insane(last I checked)
It's THE brumentum weapon
stat wise what do you want most in for it?
dump mobility on 90% of non psyker weapons
@peak tree Dueling sword and recon laser gun is the strongest combo for me personally. I prefer bolter/plasma and chain/power sword cuz I think they are neat.
80 everything except mobility at 60
dueling swords are busted rn(1 specific mark is at least idk which one)
what would I build if I hypothetically perhaps wanted to do a double barrel build?
Definitely trying a range of stuff out, which is why I wanted to bring this here. Bolter seems to fit my style and my class needs pretty well in group, but want to check for any other specific things I should look into, or what builds I should do to optimize this (and approach to actual play style/technique)
WS is mandatory
That is one I haven't tried yet.
WS?
hey fellow veterans
what would be a good melee with ws?
when do we get more weapons
You'll also also want the free reload subnode
Rashad is the easy do everything pick
Heavy sword IX
Flak + maniac
Deathblow
Headtaker
Boltgun
Flak + maniac
Pinning fire
Puncture
i dont think im that lucky
alright
How much resource do u have
I'm assuming hotswap hotswap
play it like doom
Yes. And the reload subnode will reload one round for you
alright
So you don't need to reload often
And then take manstopper
For infinitely cleaving shots
Using the guaranteed crit from WS
193k buckaroos
You should prob level its mastery first
I've been struggling with Maulers, Reapers and Bulwarks with it
Don't really know what I'm supposed to do, aside from Heavy hit head
It 3 hit kills maulers & bulwarks and 2 hit kill reaper
Heavy overhead is what you’re supposed to do
Yeah, but they kinda chew me up in the process?
i just want something new...
Long bomb penance , anybody know how to get this without struggling for an entire week?
Dodge?
Can you be more specific?
I enjoyed it a lot to start, but love the versatility and power of the bolter.
Step aside when you're about to get hit
mixed horde (?) with flanking behaviour, melee + VoC (1)
no grenades
no guns
Also the heavy attack staggers most elites
alright, wht about gun instead of a quickdraw stub revolver
Vraks V infantry autogun
even fucking long las would do
lol @ armor pen being even more important now with carapace ragers
fatshark doing their hardest to solidify the already best weapons as the best weapons
I find juggling 3 or 4 weapons per character to be most enjoyable for me personally, I love both along with bolter, bolt pistol, revolver, and infantry lasgun
"ew using off-meta?" nerfs harder
it owns that gunlugger got hit more than anything else when it sucks in havoc anyways
what are even considered the best?
gunlugger gets new tools -> then nerfed lol
Emprah
the worst, most wasteful build (rumbler glugger) gets totally dicked
Yeah I am wanting to set up a few archetypal builds right now, and that's part of the reason for the question. Finding other builds I vibe with and having them well assembled AND knowing when I really want to pull them out. Plasma gun, bolt pistol would be ones I enjoy. I dont even have a recon so I'd like to learn when that is most appropriate and how to use it.
nah the guns are better for non glugger
revolver, plasma, bolter, recon, and Vraks mk5
still more tools
rashad and ds4 for melee
its not the best but stillusable
Revolver is probably my favorite weapon on veteran atm
the Zarona revolver specifically
I dunno
the hipfire one is eh
im a vet thats only ever used shout, point, power sword and stub revoler(basic meta back then) and ive been out of the loop, so i have no clue what that is
The braced auto gun
rashad/ds4 + zarona is both fun and extremely powerful
Whichever one has ads
For shame
yes i realized i wasnt good at building when my first build just couldnt handle more difficult levels
how did yall do "on overwatch" ive been stuggeling for like 5-6 hours on it
got lucky
Learn how to block, dodge and manage toughness
block doesnt count as taking damage??!?!?!
I just played normally
yeah i mean basically just keep playing and you'll get it eventually after you get good
eventually it comes naturally
You can take toughness damage, you just can’t take health damage from melee attacks
For that penance
i have been enlightened
Blocking isn’t very good in this game
But blocking a hit is usually better than taking one
only time I block is to buy time from ragers
my strat was staying behind a bit and just shooting but eventually they start spawning all arround and that doesnt work
Learning melee mechanics in a melee-centric game is important
the best way to go in a horde to play it safe is to put your back to a wall and kill the horde
staying in the middle of the group is best
v2 has 30% bcr and easier access to stamina regen. this game it's only 12% (read: not worth it) and stamina has more uses and is harder to come by
hanging back is only good if you're prepped for the backstabs
V2 as in v2 ultrakill?!
nevermind several attacks just ignoring block
also, look for a low-intensity engagement zone malice
big smart
alr thanks mandem im gooing to torture myself again
What's the meta/best general use melee weapon? (i've been using power sword so far)
and on top of that, yeah it only counts health damage, so you can check every time you see a medicae station, if it lets you heal, then you should just reset, because if you are full HP, it will say
"your health is already full"
Duelling Sword Mk IV
if you use points for melee, Rashad
if you don't want to use any points, power sword
yup thanks. i thought any damage counted lol
one other thing about toughness and melee
whats the "rashad"?
seems like power sword is still meta, ive been spending points, duelling sword would be a change, but the axe, aka rashad really feels like garbage
Rashad Combat Axe
oh thanks
ranged damage does not take from your health until your toughness is depleted. additionally, melee hits generally don't chip damage your healthbar unless your toughness is lowered, which means you can sometimes take one hit to your toughness in melee, and it won't hurt your health
kills most enemies in 1-3 hits, can stun multiple ragers, 80% armor pen, can kill like 4 guys per hit
idk what else you want
power sword is very unsafe and you kinda just crumple when shit hits the fan. Your game plan is using power sword's damage to never let shit hit the fan but sometimes it happens outside of your control
just push?
and if you have 'voice of command' that gold toughness can also let you eat a hit or two without taking health damage
rashad and ds4 can actually live when it gets rough
power sword is godly
also what the other guy said just literally push and reposition with a dodge and you can keep slashing even when the horde pressure is on
i just push the enemies and if that isnt enough i just power shout and swing heavy to chop off all their heads
i mean powersword is good but just push 5head isn't gonna help you in the worst scenarios
then you kill them?
this smells like skill issue to me
idk i just need a change in playstyle instead of being the elite targeting shouting vet with a stub revolver
there's situations where you can't safely do the special activation with ps
rashad and ds4 don't need to do an activation to be good
they're just safer
what enemy is it that gives you trouble with a power sword that you can't make space to get even one slash in
a single enemy scab gun unit :))))
You need brutal momentum on it
Combat axe without brutal momentum is unplayable dogshit
that's why the Emperor blessed you with a lasgun, veteran
is this a mastery related thing or
Blessing - brutal momentum
ah good to know
so it's... kind of mastery related, I guess, since you want to rank up your mastery to have access to it
Is that also the strategy for ragers?
is the Finesse stat important for the combat axe?
staggers crushers
LOL EASYMODE WEAPON
Yes
Interesting, no heavy hits at all for the ragers
he's block-cancelling here so you throw up your block after two hits to get your best attacks out repeatedly
darn.. I found all 80% minus finesse that is at 60%
If they get going to attack, you just get away?
thats a lot of spam pushing i dont usually do with my power sword
Before they gave ogryns 2.5s stagger immunity window, a single combat axe could hard stagger lock and kill an entire wave of crushers before they get to attack
What is the actual main approach and use of the recon las? I have yet to play with it. What one should I look for to buy and play with?
unbelievable
killing everything in the game very quickly
look for a recon lasgun
Cool. I remember doing that a lot with Kruber's Halberd
idk how to block cancel but im betting its harder for console
You just block
Combat axe push attack can stagger rager out of their ongoing combo
It resets you to the start of your moveset
I was wrong too actually he's pushing not block cancelling
danke
oh i see
Well, but you also are reseting
true
Maybe that's not the point, it's just to stagger them
Rashad & achlys combat axe can cancel light attack animation into push attack
Antax cannot
If u feel a weapon is super sluggish to play in terms of push attack
It’s because it has slow recovery into block
Which usually means you need to have the attacks’ entire animation play out before u can block (and do push / push attack)
Example: Evicerator mk XV heavy overhead has extremely slow recovery into block
it's not just one enemy. Like if you're dealing with enough elites/whatever simultaneously you just have more pressure on you, ps responds worse to being put under pressure because it needs to special activate
The new relic blades on zealot also have super slow recovery into block
especially if your team is bad and they leave you to solo a boss on a high intensity mission or something
let me solo it
so you gotta deal with a boss + waves of specials and elites
So the idea with the Ogryns, you were swapping targets and using space to avoid the 2.5s stagger immunity
sometimes I would rather solo everything so my team doesn't die trying to fight one rager or something
obviously you can still clutch that w/ ps but you have much less room for error
just literally use the special then cleave tbh it kills all specials
and it kills horde
Yes
so like, what's the issue
Maulers don’t have this 2.5s stagger immunity window and they’re much easier to fight
it's not even a weapon where like ohhh it doesn't kill crushers, no it KILLS them, maulers, it kills them, ragers, it destroys them
But I guess otherwise it's the same idea.
Pretty much
and if you are completely surrounded, then okay swap weapons to your faster mobility option, or use VoC, you have options
Separate question, how do you deal with the "oops theres 5 shotgun dudes emptying into your face"
Slide
I'm not sure if I describe the scenario right
they don't even do knockback anymore, so shotguns are even easier than they were before
I mean, I've ended up dead before
Pull your melee out
at no point did I say you have no options, I'm just saying you have less room for error and it's harder to recover bc less safe
They'll probably respect it
If you're close enough that is
Nice
ds4 is the meme example because you can just brainlessly back dodge forever with the blessing
but rashad has the push attack with giga stagger
that's why I said 'skill issue' cuz I can handle power sword even when pressured just fine
Is Rashad special ever worth?
if u want to look cool u could do it while sliding
Ah
that's basically its only application
less on demand tho
the mk6 has -25% block cost to let you back up from ragers
rashad/ds4 can reaction stagger if a rager pops out from around a corner
I should be OK with this one right? as in, just grind it, its only loss is 1%
psword doesn't need points to perform at its best
ignore perks and blessings
bricked
so out of these four what should i make legendary and use
bricked? 😂 that used to be a thing
2nd
can't believe Brunt and Hadron fucked you over like that 😔
Mobility is the dump stat right?
look it's not like i'm just making up ps having less safety, path's guide also ps w/ lower safety
pog
rashad can just reaction stagger everything in front of it, ds4 has the special attack it can spam to just stagger whatever it wants short of a boss
ps has to activate before it can do anything
which means in high pressure scenarios you can just get fucked
I'm happy for u if you can play well enough to not worry about the lower safety
not really my point
The weapon objectively just has less safe options
if you don't need them then great
you say that but like. just play around them?
the weapon with a unique quirk doesn't play the exact same as a weapon that doesn't?
who could have guessed :c
exactly
idk this is kinda dumb bc you can just play around everything. Nothing is stopping you from doing maelstroms with a grey chain sword except skill issue
tbh
if u run sunder, the safety value goes up a lot
rly liking the scion drip, i hope if a drop comes tmrw we get some kind of scion chest or something similar looking
I put it at 4 because it's just safe enough where u won't get screwed over in most situations
but it's not safe enough for FUBAR situations
yeah which is exactly all i was saying
I'm gonna change a lot of these radar charts for steam version too
chainsword getting 2 in safety
lol
aiming to try and get it despite wearing full krieg armor
get prosthetic legs 
Guys is power great sword good?
u mean zealot's relic blade?
Wait
wrong channel probably
I thought vet would have it, dang
In yalls opinion, which accatran is the strongest
I prefer the heavy carapace legs lpl
I think relic blade is like mid+ tier lol
Recon las?
Think it's called recon lasgun now
Yes
can rashad not wide swing
Mark XIV since its not reliant on shock trooper
We don't take shock any more?
This looks expensive to work on 😦
14 is dum dum/HH right
This thing needs the Relic Sword Mechanic like YESTERDAY
def not liking rashad can ds4 thrust with a speed boost or can only zealot do that
don't bother, you don't want 60 mobility
just dump cleave targets
ds2 and ds4 can do h1 sprint tech on every class
isn't mobility the dump stat?
not on every weapon
like the ps has horrible mobility but you will be running brutal mom or sunder
and cleave is a non-existent issue for an actived psword running those blessings
I dump you!
What's dump on helbore?
Stability
Ty
When was the last time the scion helmet appeared in the shop?
It depends on your tolerance. I am used to high mobility weapon, and feel the difference between 60 and 80
also, what's one more target when using bm?
The light attacks are the wide swings
BM stops after 4 targets
unfortunate
it has value still
technically bm on hsword goes to 5 
yeah but more mobility has more value for me 😄
It might affect your cleave on enemies with more mass
@tall torrent
We've talked to death about it
you run bm or sunder
what's mass?
poor Hammer
💀
You never dump damage for mobility etc
did i say that?
Nooo, but i swear I've had this same conversation before about mobility dumping
cleave targets not cleave dmg!
yes
That sounds even more wrong
damage on flamer does not affect the dots, that's burn
Curio, we have toughness, sniper resistance, block efficiency still?
it's only the lmb puff that's affected
so you can dump it safely and invest in more mobility
What's our curio stats now boys
toughness is good, sniper resist is niche, and block efficiency was never used
it's the same for purga btw
Wait
but ok, that's like two weapons
2%
Then you're still dumping damage on the direct hit of the fire
it's mainly for sprint speed
Not thrilled
you don't use lmb for dmg
going from +0.09 to +0.27 is definitely noticeable
Stam regen/sprint efficiency
Toughness (feel free to swap)
Gunner resist/Sniper resist/whatever
you use it for stagger
ah
Ty
oh lol sprint speed
good to know at least
going from 60 to 80 cleave target is 10.9 to 11.7
u don't meaningfully cleave more things
its just sprint speed it seems on Psword
I'll take the 1 more groaner compared to that
mobility >60% is basically always for sprint speed
groaners are not relevant tbh
seems so
I mean yeah because I'm killing them?
not really a threat sadly
if we were talking about one more bruiser...
underestimating trash mobs in horde games is ALWAYS a bad idea

Gonna say it
When you don't have a weapon to cleave groaners or poxwalkers
They dooooo become a threat
then u go 65% cleave target and 75% mobility
not underestimating them, but that's bruisers the real menace
Me as I'm dancing slapping my dueling sword on the chaff like a wet noodle
true, could split the difference
65% cleave target gives u just enough to be >11
what do you use on your ds?
"not a threat"
you use reciprocity at least?
right...
What are the Vets current meta weapons? I’ve been rocking the agrippina braced and devil’s claw but looking to try something new, possibly more effective.
in the pecking order no, that's sadly not that much of a threat
Bistol 😌
Bolter and Plasma with Rashad or Power Sword Mk6
Hordes are unironically a threat when you don't have good cleave
and i main taxe without bm sometimes
guys we are talking about a fucking psword
I thought we were talking broadly
Not only psword
Like yeah
Hordes are less of a problem with a psword
But that still is you picking an option that has cleave
combat axe without bm does not exist tho
Knife
Rashad combat axe
Power sword 6
Dueling Sword 4
......
Vraks
Plasma
Bolter
Bolt Pistol
Double Barrel
And Power Sword doesn't exist without power cycler
why bolter and plasma
Plasma gun is still very good dps
Because Bolter is funny.
As for Plasma it makes my cock throb when I shoot into a corridor and see 6+ elite kill pop-ups.
you can use a psword without pc
is it a good idea?

no
Not thrilled
no
Oh come on
mfw you cant backstab with a knife 90 percnt of the time
don't try that for your own sanity
That logic applies to everything
nope
You don't backstab
You use the funny push attack into a crushers head
psword has slaughterer, rampage wrath bm
Why backstab though?
why do u need backstab
so you have cleave and power, which is also cleave
It has insane critical and weakspot damage
Its abit of a bait that it wants you to backstab
Psword with no power cycler is ass
Mano a mano
never said the contrary
Psword has great blessings yes
Green lasgun is still decent
but no power cycler makes it ass
but you can use it and you have cleave
That just is too broad
combat axe without bm is not a thing
even an antax
idk i like having an advantage in the fight like with power sword clearing hordes better than any other weapon imo
Uncharged psword is just ass
Yeah, you have cleave, but damage so shit you might as well be tickling your enemies and charging it up before every swing sounds horrible.
Oh wait
You have the perception that you need to backstab with a knife for it to be good
Might as well grab a shovel then.
Yeah no
it's not better than any other weapon tho
I'll be frank, I'm just going to ignore your opinions on Psword now lmao
Drop that perception
Also drop bleed blessings on knife
so you have never seen telopots using unactivated psword then
you can use psword without pc, is it a good idea: no
You might as well use the dclaw lol
Who is telopots?
If you're advocating that the psword is still kinda usable without pc because one guy on YouTube used it 
Anyone knows when was the last time they had the Scion Helmet at commodore's?
so whatre you running for knife to be good, ive been using psword and stub revolver ever since it was the first basic meta and then stayed out of the loop, gun to kill elites from afar and psword for clearing hordes and elites is what i do
and psword can still use special to activate one swing
you could use it without power cycler but I mean. don't
Psword without pc is pain
like you COULD. but don't.
absolutely wild takes on psword today lol
it is physically possible to enter a game with a power sword and no power-cycler, but, don't
No but like who is telopots
you mean the take where i say it's a bad idea?
Its the discussion that like
perpetual and willing victim of the swedish fish
discord : https://discord.gg/jrbVhys6C8
profile pic by : https://twitter.com/cpt_colluvies
You could still use it without pc
Yeah
You can use anything
Without something
Ble
This is getting no wher
Plasma sword without pc is as bad as rashad without bm
Done
Don't
Uncanny Riposte
Uncanny Precognition
Then pathing to Weapon Specialist
What are good ranged weps for weapon spec?
Been trying bolt pistol
bro i did an hitsg with a grey combat axe
What's the perfect plasma stats again? 69 charge, 71 thermal resistance? Got this (pic 1), currently using the one from pic 2, worth replacing?
is this skill tree or
You're not hitting breakpoint
we were all using random grey weapons
also i realize ive been using mk3 ps with bm and pc
on malice difficulty no doubt
With Weapon Specialist for the funny
Its not indicative of knowledge it's a fun challenge
Uncanny Riposte Precognition are blessing and the melee talents and usually these
And well... sure it does showcase your knowledge
Plasma
Double Barrel
Zarona Revolver
what the fuck are you even talking about?
It just, isn't relevant to the discussion of viability
Wait, if the meta plasma blessings are the heat ones, why is thermal resistance not a dump stat?
68~69 thermal
71~72 charge
hey how's the hellbore these of days?
Because you're not using breakpoints, you are in essence just brute forcing the game which is fine
let's compare cleave values then
8 shots instead of 7
you know with numbers
Same as always
Same blessings
so decent?
Yeah
One Motion is also a thing
also, numbers
i did say at first, it was a bad idea
but psword can survive without pc, combat axe cannot without bm
Me as the data doesn't show viability with headtaker stacks 
Pic 1 is the closest I've got to that. Pic 2 is what I currently have. Should I just settle for 1 and upgrade it or keep gambling?
This isn't that relevant of a discussion suffice it to say, would rather suggest to use something else rather than have no pc for psword
Yes it's understandable
This isn't getting anywhere however
if you don't have BM for rashad you might as well take limb splitter
i did not say anything else
With the gunner buff, I go to Executioner Stand and Markman focus, working great so far.
that would achieve nothing
The ability to fight off the long range target quickly really help
so anything else can be selected in the skill tree, how efficent is it for endgame? my style is using melee for hordes but im guessing dagger is for elites?
Well
It is the discussion about trying to make a weapon 'useable' without its best perk
Like you did with powerword without pc you used rampage
Me as I use limbsplitter to kill exactly 1 (one) crusher 
this is a very dumb argument from both sides
it transforms it into a horde killing machine
Does anyone use any alternative scoreboard mod that doesn't use animation events?
pc is a blessing than enhance a mechanic of the weapon
Cause that one's been messing things up for me
Me as I enjoy arguing nonsense

What's the argument
Ok but only if you answer my question 😭
Not that question the scoreboard one
You can use the powersword without PC and it'll still be something
And the rashad is nothing without BM
With 0 viability
Oh
I mean those both make sense to me
I don't know 😌

@tall torrent i went and gathered proof, outlines stay on for teammates when the vet keeps extending his exec stance
alr I'll change it
What does this mean
it affected dmg iirc
i love when people change something based on proof instead of trying to double down on wrong opinions
its rare these days
in a weird way
WHAT? Charge rate affected normal uncharged damage?
charge rate used to affect damage
a year ago
which would affect its breakpoints
Does Executioner’s Stance still end when swapping to melee or grenades? The outlines will stay on for the remaining duration I think but you can’t refresh it from what I remember. Haven’t noticed if the buffs are still active for remaining duration.
No
Iirc if you swap during exe to a melee weapons then swap back you'll have exe if there was time left on it still
i was wondering why the ogryn had exec stance :/
hes preparing to be a marksman with his new MG
I assume the buff just continues to run down if you swap
Yah
you can even keep up exec stance with melee now, doesnt matter
I know the outlines will remain but I don’t recall it ever refreshing when going back to gun.
new change maybe?
it only refreshes when you kill an outlined target. no matter how
with the bayonet?
after all new update, new bugs c:
what
i did not think to test that, i was rushing to swap again
I’ll give it a test sometime in the training room
youre telling me i could possibly be done with be methodical so i can finally complete on target 3
i forget what penenace is that
be methodical is not even difficult?
oh that. yeah i suppose thats possible with melee only now
whats the best mission to get on overwatch?
wait, you're telling us that as long you continue to kill the targets in melee you're stun immune?
sounds sus
yes
WHAT
thy executioner's stance be swift

its not that easy but "yes"
WHHHAAAAAT
mind blooown
im using a revolver and im not a very good shot under pressure
my god
lol
that was your first mistake
i thought it was just the dropping while going into melee to push or smthg that was fixed
pop exe stance
immediately swap to Rashad
time to game
I did it with like the IAG I think, because you just need a big mag capacity to keep killing elites
or at least, a quick reload
if you are using the zarona revolver and needing to individually reload 5 rounds over and over, uh yeah you're not getting that penance done
I fucking hate these modifiers man they suck so much ass. Foggy + Snipers + Pus Skin. So you have 5 fucking laser pointers on you at any time and I can't even one-tap half of them with a plasma.
I have played religiously bolter exec for a month without trying
i am dying
good thing exec stance gives you increased zoom so you can really see the fear in their eyes when you bash their skull in with your massive axe
That's what bolt pistol is for
can't you mod that btw?
nowadays theyll get the kill before me, im so used to only using zanora revolver and psword
like with the fov mod?
i wouldnt think so but no idea
the transition from normal to zoom is jarring
ask them nicely to stop shooting
I try, but whenever I ask them nicely with a charged plasma they just recoil slightly and then still shoot at me.
or just... I mean if you do it on damnation or auric there's 20 gunners, you can surely kill at least 5 of them
plasma destroyer when?
exec revolver rashad then
so i use boltor or what else
Just take your bolter 
bolter would be fine... I used infantry autogun
yeah but if you really want to quickswap fast
Take uhhhhhh
i dont like its initial kickup
Ciag
the only thing is bolter has a slow ass reload
Is Scion the only helmet that makes your voice deep af for veteran?
and the thing is you DO need to be firing consistently
you only get seconds of downtime between kills before it resets, so
hmm yeah, that's possible
as you are reloading you should be already aiming at your next kill
There is the helmet with the giant can in your mouth
If you want the voice modulator
delicious
so exec ws
😌 extra iron
ill try infantry then
trying to get every gas mask for vet
only one i cant get is the pc exlusive one
waiting for engineer krieg armor
it truly is a bruh moment that people have forgotten the majesty of the 🅱️ elmet
I wished they had the grenadier/LT helmet in the white gasmask yellow lenses though
ew
I want the rest of the ABCelmets man
Darktide 2
why do some show rank and others dont
And the :C: helmet
cooking
I wish they kept the bug where other classes would get the ogryn helmet
Engineers, you mean an ogryn with a pickaxe and a sapping charge (big frag)
Is that the one for taking no close quarters damage?
There are 2 things to remember.
(1) Toughness damage does not invalidate the achievement, only Health damage does.
(2) If that still doesn’t help, there is a way to cheese it.
Nice edit
Go any ranged weapon that doesn’t have a heavy zoom and a melee with decent stamina amount, go VoC(with gold toughness) or stealth veteran, and use ability any time you are in moderate danger
Thanks
Imagine a fading back into a “hey you’re finally awake”
3 successful games in a row with Marksman focus and lasgun
Maelstrom Auric btw
Getting rig of gunner is a quality of life saving.
Build?
With either MK7 or MK9 lasgun
what is voc again
im new to this game
Camouflage is a questionable node, but it works so far in recent games
Voice of command, the middle ability that’ll recover all your toughness and stagger everything nearby
One of its modifiers gives you gold toughness
where do u get that then
sometimes when a melee hits me it still deals hp dmg even if i have toughness
Right now I'm using the MK9 lasgun because I can 2 taps the fking reaper.
You could’ve been like 1 toughness off max
They looks dumb, but they are terror.
If you’re not max toughness melee attacks deal dmg to your hp by the % of missing toughness
yeah cause they were dooing like 2 hp damage
but i think that still fails the penance
You know what, not gonna lie, I like running the Mercy Killer knife
As long as the melee attack doesn’t hurt your hp you wont fail (which is why voice of command with its gold toughness is great for it)
If you get hit by melee back to back, you will take hp damage unless you have overshield.
gold toughness u mean just the "overheal" right?
However, if you get hit after a certain amount of time, even if you are not at max toughness, it won't bleed through if the damage is not more than your toughness.
ive been trying this for way to long im acc gonna hammerslam my computer in a minute
It is visually gold on your toughness bar but yes that’s what I mean
Gold toughness is over shield, yes
yuh
I use the term because I used to play Halo.
im good at staying on range with enemys but theres always some random mfs behind me
Are you trying to do the On the Overwatch?
yuh
didnt mean to reply to that
but yes
trying to
Every time you stop firing your weapon while at range take a look around you
true that
Use the Devil Claw, the parry does 360 parry
Man I rocked my old "I did all the penances before they were easy" gear the other night. No respect.
devil claw?
Also the moment you hear any woosh noise (the backstab warning) try dodging or activating your ability as soon as you can
So when you hear the sound cue of enemy melee, pull out the devil claw and spam special/
It’s a melee that is generally kinda bad at armor damage outside of its special which can absolutely destroy ragers and armor
It’s just a woosh of air if something attacks you from behind
Devil Claw imo is one of the best weapon, but due to its drawback vs armour, people here don't like it much.
so it destroys armor but is bad against armor?
Its parry can, but its normal attack is meh
west london type shit
The parry has great armor damage but lights and heavy attacks don’t
aha
i heard u can also just dangle off the map and get revived at the end to get it
but i doubt anyone does that
kind of a dick move to ur team
Not really
Yea but if you’re doing it on malice it’s not too bad
The penance is Malice, which is a run in the park
yeah
I confess. I cheesed that penance way back when the game came out
Malice with proper builds is a run in the park like damn, veteran power sword plasma
Also learning how to melee properly is like, an awakening
I feel like lisan al gaib when i get into the veteran flow
i would cheese it but when i did the invite stuff noone came
Many people here can run malice melee only with the shovel.
You used to be able to run through the entire mission, then right at the end, disconnect...and reconnect, and as long as you didn't get hit, you got the penance.
plasma is dookie
Plasma is gas fym
Or well its pretty good
Its top 4 imo
tried it in the meatgrinder
Better than bolter
wack damage and overheats fast
What are the stats
bolter is nice just takes too long to reload
kaka
Plasma is like top 3 for vet
I have one that dumps recharge
i use the recon lasgun
I mean are you using right click?
cuz its easy as hell
Which charges slow but since 80% heat resist it lasts long enough to take away elites
If yes then you're doing it wrong
Yeah dont use right click its ass
didnt
You just spam left
weapon might just not be for me ig
yeah idk any of that build stuff
It shouldn't be bad
i use whatever is cool
Plasma is good bc its hitscan and oneshots everything on a weakspot except for crushers and bulwarks but I use power sword for those
Bruh
i really like lasgun designs so i use them
Tbh there’s nothing wrong with playing watever you like but there are objectively good ass weapons in this game bc fatshark balancing is… interesting
real
Recon lasgun mark XIV is goated
Its not reliant on crits and shock trooper perk
i got a mark VIc
Peashooter ass dmg and i have to sacrifice an enhancement for crit
Different weapon marks have different firing/attack patterns
oh shit fr?
VIc and the other one do less dmg at the cost of higher ammo and fire rate
i thought higher number = better
The XIV is different and does more damage but less ammo and fire rate (still 800 ammo tho)
BRUH lmao
Yes but you build it for crits
I WILL SAY you want to take those still
i did i think
I have two builds for it
I have shock trooper, 5% crit and uh, the 40% more ammo one
5% crit is dookie
But the other one is just weapon master without both
anything that isnt like 20 or more i just ignore
5% for crit chains on the recon is good
5% extra crit on a lasgun reliant on crits is very good
Cause they stack
mmm
With perks
This is the one i use on damnation and autic sometimes
I prefer it over bullet spam tbh
cause it makes my power sword hit way harder
Tbh in this game, it may not seem like it but numbers are quite significant
is there a dump stat cheat sheet some where?
Anything 5% and larger is very significant of a difference
Its why like single shot weapons we break out the damage numbies
im gonna attempt on overwatch again and tweak right after
Cause you gotta consider this magical variable called a breakpoint
ahh its not in range weapon guide its in the main one thank you
What are u building btw?
im gonna use quickplay and pray i get into a endgame lobby
like near extract
You know you barely get xp and points for that right? It’s not like space marine 2 💀
Also some penances wont work if you’re too far in
well see
If you log in right before the valkyrie it doesnt progress
It doesn't work
Ive tried it
Ive been dropped in like
30 or 40% in progress and some penances worked
But spawning on extract doesnt do penances
I think there’s a limit to how far in you can join and have the penance count
Especially considering fat shark has cracked down on alt-f4ing cheese
You do need to play from near the start to get on-overwatch
Wait what does on-overwatch penance do again
Only penance i care abt doing this week is the havic ones tbh lol
Don't get hit by a melee attack into your health
Still have yet to join a lobby doe
Basically
enemy with 1 hp hit me
lol
did vet not get anything?
no there was no vet weapon this update
insane
doesn't need it
in the membrane
Honestly though, due to the gunner buff, some vet build is more viable than before.
Executioner and infantry lasgun can delete hordes of gunner, not run saver, but big team saver.
asdsadas

Except an actually fuckin useful iron sight that I can use on the Mk V and Mk IIIa Helbores finally
It's also just a nice lookin gun skin
Scopes on helbore when 😭
Honestly
I want the helbores to have better rending is all
Does the new paid skin come with good sights now?

Or well its a square still
But it's got a white tip
It's cleaner
what? what???
The Legacy of Vraks Helbore skin currently up right now
that's still not great but
uhhh.
Not great, but not terrible
it sounded like you got a message in there somewhere
it's unbelievable they added tritium sights to this thing
when the stock helbore
is just. nothing
Oh ye! Steam's new game recording can be set to all system sounds
New skin has different iron sights if ur into that
I might buy krieger psyker torso
Blaze away + Overpressure
