mk1 shovel (this is a joke use the mk7), columnus autogun

driller is the best drg class hands down im like legendary +14 on him

I like all the classes but digger is the best if you want to carry

I am not a daring person I just want to win and move on with my life

I only have like 400 currently but I've been playing more darktide recently as I literally just started this game.

What’s the best melee weapon for Veteran? I have a perfect roll chain axe but haven’t empowered it yet

paper trellis

#

focus target is good too

paper trellis
#

I really wish I liked Rashad more

cyan verge
#

I actually like both of them just fine

bitter turtle
#

ds4 is poor at horde clear

crisp oak

Same

#

lol love it love the anti-armor shovel, jelly even xD also find it funny you have 3 blessed bullets. it's like hey I don't need bullets for pew i have lasgun so they're trikets now xD

tiny valve
unreal marsh
#

is rashad and colum autogun the best combo for vet?

paper trellis
#

Funny thing is I really enjoy the taxe. Shame it has all of no carapace damage

cyan verge
#

idr what's the other one, oh yeah marksman, marksman is junk

crisp oak
karmic moat
#

my antax axe won't leave me

strange oxide
#

hi, I wanted to use this build with db shotgun + combat axe, but i don't really like the rashad - what changes would i need to make if i swapped to the antax?

bitter turtle
cyan verge
#

doesn't need to

tiny valve
bitter turtle
#

on moebian 21st modifier

paper trellis
bitter turtle
#

then u hate yourself when you have four ds4 zealot/vets

crisp oak
cyan verge
#

sounds like a team comp issue

karmic moat
cyan verge
#

you need someone to tackle hordes

bitter turtle
#

yes

cyan verge
#

it may as well be inferno staff psyker

paper trellis
bitter turtle
#

that is why you would bring rashad

tiny valve
#

Actually guys I'm currently running claw sword or whatever it's called would you recommend I continue with that weapon or go back to my combat axe? Or switch to a different weapon like the chainsword

bitter turtle
#

which is my point

bitter turtle
#

and yes it would be nice to have a purg staff psyker

#

but we dont always get what we like

#

on our teams

tiny valve
#

They don't have to think a lot do they?

paper trellis
crisp oak
tiny valve
#

For legal reasons this is a joke I like playing vet just not having to worry about spending multiple hours getting meta stats

bitter turtle
#

the meta is differennt between them

tiny valve
bitter turtle
#

auric -> yea
havoc -> rashad yes, autoguns no

umbral scaffold
#

Trying to randomly join a 25 Havoc to get the pants be like

cyan verge
#

yeah good luck with that

crisp oak
#

I like the shovel the most

tiny valve
#

Ok will do

cyan verge
#

I joined a bunch of 24/25 games and it was a shitshow every time then I joined a 28 and it was like oh this is sensible

umbral scaffold
#

Respected Sir, please let me do one mission to get a cosmetic. Thank you very much

crisp oak
#

Despite the dueling sword being required of me in later havoks

umbral scaffold

#

Its great

#

Next patch: vet gets 2 handed shovel

tiny valve
#

You make the tiniest slip up in most games at high level and you get kicked

paper trellis
#

Helps that shovel can shore up any weakness in a build

umbral scaffold
#

I will just host my own

unreal marsh

paper trellis
cyan verge
#

I have kicked people in auric maelstrom for doing completely stupid things

umbral scaffold
cyan verge
#

after making very questionable decisions beforehand

umbral scaffold
#

I think i was spared the shittalk cause i am a noob

cyan verge
#

it's already rough enough in auric maelstroms that if you make 1 mistake you can just be GG game over

bitter turtle
#

anything with dots

#

basically

cyan verge
#

so in havoc it's like, doubly so

bitter turtle
#

infernus is extremely good in havoc

cyan verge
#

you just cannot make, any mistakes

crisp oak
bitter turtle
#

yes because of puncture apparently

crisp oak
#

Guess it is ammo efficient

bitter turtle
#

i dont know i havent tried it myself

cyan verge
#

there are chances for recovery but you really do not want to be in that situation

bitter turtle
#

so take that one with a grain of salt

cyan verge
#

oh, bolt pistol for bleed application I guess

bitter turtle
#

only have used laspistol and recon

paper trellis
#

Bolt pistol is fun and strong

cyan verge
#

except yeah the ammo efficiency would probably be pretty bad

crisp oak
#

Bolter might work better if puncture is needed

paper trellis
#

That’s true

bitter turtle
#

maybe

cyan verge
#

so maybe it was a game where they had like 2/4 psykers

crisp oak
bitter turtle
#

bolter mobility is pretty ugh but you could try it

paper trellis
#

You need to use a melee setup with it

crisp oak
#

Is clutch af on the bolt pistol

paper trellis
cyan verge
#

2/4 psykers, 1 with like electrokinetic, 1 with inferno, 1 zealot spamming melee with no flamer, and 1 vet with bolt pistol and puncture taking 100% of the ammo drops

#

that'd be my guess

umbral scaffold
#

How do you even get such people? I just solo Q and it works well for me@cyan verge

paper trellis
#

If you run out of ammo weapon specialist dies

umbral scaffold
#

For Auric Maelstorm

crisp oak
tiny valve
#

Oh also forgot to ask, I've seen a few krak grenades but mostly just frags does everyone use frag on vet? I've seen literally no one use smoke.

cyan verge
#

if you haven't played since the update I think a lot of newer or worse players are running them atm to get into havoc

bitter turtle
#

its arguably better than dome at really high levels

paper trellis
bitter turtle
#

but frags are still the best

#

kraks are very niche

tiny valve
bitter turtle
#

oh mb

#

well in that case

#

frag is the default nade

#

so if you're levelling a lot of people might just be used to it more

#

its also teh best grenade overall

tiny valve
#

Yeah I've seen that it's what I'm running

#

On my mess of a level 24 build

cyan verge
#

also idk, I just know I was playing with a zealot the other day who was playing like a bot, like he was standing outside of an airlock meleeing horde and he literally chased like a hound 15m away from party and got downed, so we go out save him and he just does it again, like it was unforgivable shit to see in AM

crisp oak
#

Dome is the psyker sphere shield

bitter turtle
#

smoke requires more though than

#

"i see a lot of enemies"

#

so a lot of people dont use it

paper trellis
#

Kraks are for when you want a boss to die very quickly, or to hit a crusher as you go rescue a downed teammate from it

karmic moat
#

frag with extra shrapnel and sometimes a suprise friend: another grenade!

bitter turtle
#

it also was garbage until they buffed and bugfixed it in the past

paper trellis
#

Or a pack of crushers

bitter turtle
#

so it has a negative reputation

umbral scaffold
#

The Havoc matchmaking is a disaster

cyan verge
#

the problem is too is like smokes just haven't been relevant before so it's probably gonna take a while

placid portal
#

Smoke gets better the denser the enemy gets, i.e High Intensity Shocktroop Gauntlet whatthefuck_heresy

umbral scaffold
#

Some clowns join who aren't even allowed to play Havocs

#

Cause they join via their friends

cyan verge
#

oh yeah I saw that yesterday

tiny valve
paper trellis
#

Do you guys throw smokes on the party, on enemies, or use it as a wall

cyan verge
#

on my gloriana runs

#

I let one guy in

#

then he invited a friend

bitter turtle
#

it does nothing

cyan verge
#

and I had a bad feeling as soon as I saw that

cyan verge
#

but yeah the party lasted 2 minutes before we wiped

cyan verge
#

2 minutes in havoc like 24

crisp oak
#

In high havocs, the bullets hurt more

umbral scaffold
#

Havoc seems messy af

cyan verge
#

it wasn't even high havoc

#

it was like strictly midtiers

umbral scaffold
#

Why can people even deny the Havoc mission, i listed?

tiny valve
#

I don't even dare to do havoc.

crisp oak
#

Tbh set up a room in discord

placid portal
#

Smoke prevents a good majority of specials from using their ability other than mutie and sniper if they are outside of the smoke

crisp oak
#

And do it that way

tiny valve
#

Currently I'm only doing malice and even then I lose matches to my teammates being idiots.

paper trellis
cyan verge
#

there's a handshake, if they click 'invite me' then you click 'accept' they get a window I think that says 'do you want to join the party' and they can click nah

umbral scaffold
#

I just want the cosmetics and then i want to go Auric Maelstorms cause they're more fun

tiny valve
#

Like I die to a crusher cos I was backed into a corner with literally no movement possibility so I get one shot. Then the psyker runs up to him and starts wacking him and gets one shot.

cyan verge
#

lol

tiny valve
#

Three minutes later we lost the match cos half the team was dead.

placid portal
#

Rip

#

This is why I use claw vs crushers whatthefuck_heresy

bitter turtle
#

smoke vs flamer

#

lol

paper trellis
#

So how should one use smokes? I haven’t used them a lot

bitter turtle
#

throw them at your feet or where you are going

cyan verge
#

well

bitter turtle
#

do not throw them at enemies

cyan verge
#

if you see a lot of gunfire

bitter turtle
#

it does nothing

paper trellis
#

Smoke nulls flamers? Well shit

bitter turtle
#

i have tested

cyan verge
#

wait

crisp oak
#

According to the penance, throw it at a horde

cyan verge
#

really

#

it doesn't work if you drop it on enemies

bitter turtle
#

yea the penance is stupid

cyan verge
#

there's a penance that

bitter turtle
#

it does not

cyan verge
#

wtf

#

no way

bitter turtle
#

i know

cyan verge
#

that's wild

bitter turtle
#

the penance is fucking stupid

tiny valve
#

Then there's also the flamers. Idk why but I just feel INCREDIBLY squishy in general and earlier I got revived in a fire, still had 3/4 of my health only one wound and then as soon as I'm revived I get downed to the fire.

"Engulf 2k mobs in smoke"

cyan verge
#

in havoc you lose toughness and HP

#

so

cyan verge
#

yes you are squishier than ever before

paper trellis
crisp oak
#

Yeah

tiny valve
paper trellis
#

Like loner penance is legitimately just anti team

bitter turtle
crisp oak
#

Which one is that?

bitter turtle
#

even if you are IN THE SMOKE WITH THEM

#

they can still ishoot you

#

and ofc, if you are outside and they are in the smoke

#

they can still shoot you

#

so the penance is fucking dumb

paper trellis
#

So treat smokes as bubble without the regen

bitter turtle
#

yes

#

but bubble eats projectiles inside

placid portal
#

Smoke blocks line of sight but only reduces sight range if they are inside

bitter turtle
#

so its worse in that sense

crisp oak
paper trellis
#

I can work with that

bitter turtle
#

however

#

smokes last 15/30 seconds

#

always

#

bubble will go down in 6 seconds almsot guaranteed

#

in havoc

#

not that it amkes it bad

#

but thats the edge smoke has

#

BUT

#

smokes dont block bomber LoS

#

they dont give a fuck

placid portal
#

And sniper too iirc?

bitter turtle
#

like they will straight up chcuk it on top of your entire team standing in smoke

#

it works vs sniper

paper trellis
#

How about trappers?

bitter turtle
#

trappers have shortened range but will still find you

#

dogs are confused

#

sec

#

i recorded all of them

placid portal
paper trellis
#

It works on dogs? Did not see that coming

bitter turtle
placid portal
#

I swear we put meth in these smokes, they are all tweaking

bitter turtle
paper trellis
#

Hmm if smokes are actually worth a damn I might tinker with a build or two

bitter turtle
#

bomber (does not work)

#

also mutants dont care

#

but mutants also dont care about dome

#

so its whatever

placid portal
#

I personally thunk smokes get better the more enemies there are

tiny valve
placid portal
paper trellis
#

Now how do I avoid my party tweaking over me using smokes?

cyan verge
#

depends

tiny valve
#

Exterminatus

cyan verge
#

I really don't think you need em in anything other than havoc

tiny valve
#

Your party can't tweak out over you using smokes if there is no party

paper trellis
placid portal
#

Lol I just quickplay into auric maelstrom and people were chill

tiny valve
placid portal
#

Still failed that mission bc I forgot to spam more smokes at the end 😭😭😭

polar fern
#

What do you guys think about the bolters. Pistol or rifle?

cyan verge
#

bolt pistol and boltgun are both good

placid portal
#

Depends on how you wanna approach enemies

placid portal
#

Pistol is more reactive normally

cyan verge
#

yeah boltgun is pretty slow

#

slow reload slow draw

#

not the WORST draw but slow

indigo lark
#

is there any special build for havoc 20+ or do builds really start mattering for specific keystones at 30+?

hollow ibex
#

Well it’s the funny “dump all aggro onto the team button” KEKW_ogryn

crisp oak
bitter turtle
#

you can quickdraw the bolter

placid portal
#

Boltgun can magdump into big chunks of enemies and do fine

paper trellis
#

Tbf bolter feels like you see some nastiness approaching and you don’t want to deal with it

placid portal
crisp oak
bitter turtle
#

bolter quickdraw

#

this was pre buff even

cyan verge
#

wow

#

that's fast

#

wtf

#

is it just aiming as you pull it

#

cuz yeah I do that already

bitter turtle
#

er didnt meant oq uote

#

no

#

its

reload to cancel swap animation -> sprint to cancel reload animation

paper trellis

#

i dont smoke in havoc personally though

crisp oak
bitter turtle
#

i acknowledge its good

#

but i think shredders are still better

cyan verge
#

shredders are REALLY good

bitter turtle
#

i use smokes in aurics just for point efficiency

#

cause idc

crisp oak
#

Ueah shredders let you infinite grenade works

cyan verge
#

I did not believe until I used em but yeah you can genuinely just throw shredders all the time in havoc

crisp oak
#

Shredders kill elites->demo team->kills elites

paper trellis
#

I think I have one build with kraks specifically because power sword and recon already have great horde clear, and I want that fleshbag out of my face

crisp oak
#

Krieg grenadier might work ironically

placid portal
#

Demo team also proc if teammates kill elite right?

bitter turtle
#

krieg grenadier is exaclty what i do in havoc 40

#

if you mean

paper trellis
#

Shredders have good cc and damage

bitter turtle
#

"wear a krieg outfit and take every grenade talent"

placid portal

Imma have to find 1 more talent point then KEKW_ogryn

paper trellis

no not with hb

Oh

bitter turtle
#

which is why i clarified

lol

#

fake krieg

#

fake fan

#

im sorry

crisp oak
#

Could run infantry

paper trellis
#

I have such a hard time making helbore passable

bitter turtle
#

but came to the same conclusion of

#

iots really good until you get pus hardened modifier

#

and then its so fucking bad against that that i think it kills it for me personally

crisp oak
#

Yeah pud is oof

polar fern
#

I like the recon las. But I heard is not very efficient in the longrun

placid portal
bitter turtle
#

in havoc its meta

paper trellis
bitter turtle
#

you are probably reading old posts

#

it got buffed a while back

paper trellis
#

Recon is legitimately amazing

crisp oak
#

Vet is honestly there as a paersonality pick (and by personality I mean survivalist and field improv)

cyan verge
#

recon is a very good gun

polar fern
ornate ivy
#

whats the meta for power sword?

bitter turtle
#

just use what you like

placid portal
#

Vld or whatever the high dakka recon mk is goes BRRRRR

bitter turtle
#

everything up until the really new endgame mode they just released can be easily cleared with any loadout

cyan verge
#

power cycler + brutal momentum for power sword

paper trellis
bitter turtle
#

so its better to just play what you have fun with

paper trellis
#

The vast majority of gear is viable

leaden skiff
#

Recon takes so long to kill in havoc

crisp oak
#

I miss uncanny stroke bayonet

cyan verge
#

basically never look up anything about darktide unless it's in this discord because everything outside of this discord is at least 1 year old in google search results

leaden skiff
#

I must be missing something

paper trellis
#

It’s mostly the builds that make or break

bitter turtle
leaden skiff
#

Yes

placid portal
#

Tank the malding from your teammates bc you brought a heckbor and smokes in Auric Damnation chadgryn

bitter turtle
#

idk then

paper trellis
bitter turtle
#

dots are really good in havoc though

#

since not reduced by hardened skin

polar fern
#

Thanks for the advice guys. I started with the zealot but I'm really hooked with the veteran

placid portal
#

Havok meta is dots i guess

bitter turtle
#

well

#

laspistol is also really good

cyan verge
#

veteran is the best and most fun class in the game

bitter turtle
#

so yeah there's a pattern here i think

#

same with purg staff

#

and flamer

#

all dots lol

leaden skiff
#

Headshots aren't the problem, get plenty. Just feels bad to be holding the trigger for five seconds or more on a gunners head

placid portal
#

Laspistol got ghost + infernus KEKW_ogryn

paper trellis
#

I do hope combat shotgun and helbore get buffed

bitter turtle
#

that's just the reality of it

#

it takes even longer on most other guns

paper trellis
#

I really enjoy combat shotgun. Sadly it’s just not that efficient

placid portal
bitter turtle
#

i havent tried

#

kinda wish they'd add the option in psyk

crisp oak
#

Bring mynkantrael back

bitter turtle
#

i couldnt check if my 14 recon was actually cleaving trash until asking here lol

#

(it wasnt)

paper trellis
#

Recon don’t cleave but fires so fast it might as well

bitter turtle
#

they do cleave

#

mark 14

#

cleaves through pocwalkers in auric

paper trellis
#

Does it? Huh didn’t notice

bitter turtle
#

havoc, eventually the hitmass is increased to the point where all it can cleave is shooters

placid portal
# bitter turtle i havent tried

Im just throwing guesses really, mk4 crit headshot vs unyielding 1 shots reaper + bulwark and given harden to 50% res 2 shots to head is best guess

last peak
#

Does born leader increase the amount of toughness i give to teammates with voc?

bitter turtle
#

yes

civic knot
#

Does vet have less base recoil compared to other classes?

paper trellis
#

Don’t you love it when ppl at a sister workplace do something incredibly stupid and you have to clean it up

crisp oak
#

What do y'all run on the infantry las btw?

cyan verge

depends

#

for havoc ghost + the other one

ghost and... shudder? ghost and... fade? ghost and...

wtf I'm doing rolling steel sedition and it keeps dropping me like NEAR max power weapons

I think they improved it dramatically with the last update

bitter turtle
#

rolling steel is the worst mission because one person just has to stare at a circle for 75% of it

cyan verge
#

yes, the way it works is, now you just plant it like a normal data interrogation then someone has to do the minigame for the last 25% of the bar

bitter turtle
#

thank fuck

ancient path
cyan verge
#

so it's a LOT shorter

bitter turtle
#

i might actually play it more now

cyan verge
#

and the mission gets +10% more time across all difficulties

bitter turtle
#

cause the best way to carry is to do the stupid obj asap

#

lol

ancient path
#

ill be the very first guardsmaam to try one out

bitter turtle
#

so ironically its the most boring thing to do

placid portal
#

I dont use deadshot on helbore no more, I like my stamina and I want to keep jt KEKW_ogryn

cyan verge
#

so when before you were doing rolling steel damnation and going aaaaa because you always get down to about the last 30s ish by the end, now I guess you'll have an extra minute or so on top to do it

cyan verge
#

this should help a lot to make it... doable

paper trellis
#

I need to get my executioners stance penance done so I can never use it again

cyan verge
#

there's

placid portal
cyan verge
#

like seriously 10 exe stance penances

#

lmao

#

it's unbelievable

crisp oak
#

I hate exec stance

#

Mainly because my muscle memory for voc

paper trellis
#

It is so much worse than the other two options

crisp oak
#

Keeps kicking in at the worst moments

crude wind
#

it doesn't do enough

cyan verge
#

I don't like it either, it's not terrible but imo they should probably like... the node that highlights specials, IMO, should be universal and they should buff exe stance so it is generally stronger

crude wind
#

which is a shame because conceptually it's cool

paper trellis
#

And the only utility option of highlighting for the party actively gimps you

crisp oak
crude wind
#

if it restored all your toughness and gave you iron will for its duration it could be considered

paper trellis
cyan verge
#

I think every skill of vet's should highlight all specials nearby for you, and with exe it should automatically highlight it for other players as a bonus, and then on top of that exe should give like +damage +fire rate perfect accuracy no recoil and no suppression so you have more of a reason to take it

placid portal
#

Using Exe stance for damage ❌
Using Exe stance to wallhack whatthefuck_heresy

paper trellis
#

Don’t think I’ve ever had a party that kept hordes off me well enough that executioners stance would be consistently practical

cyan verge
#

and instant reload AND instant equip

#

like ogryn

#

like it needs more to be truly 'executions stance'

#

and not just, oh I get some attack speed

crude wind
#

even then

#

it

#

is still tricky to get consistent value from

crisp oak

Tbh if it also worked for melee that wpuld be cooler

mag dumping bolter > exe > mag dump was really fun

same yo

but you cant be having fun in your pve game

#

Doesnt the Graia and Columnus Brauto have unique effects from bracing?

halcyon zephyr
crisp oak
#

Not sure if just weapon I got and blessings, or how it actually is

halcyon zephyr

brauto has so much more pen than it looks, and DS+FF on it means the closer enemies just charge it up

cyan verge
#

idk I just spray and pray (to the emperor)

crisp oak
#

With its braced spread

cyan verge

I mostly just find braced autoguns tedious since they have very bad accuracy, I need to be able to hit that guy 80m away, that is important to me, and I can't do it with braced autog

that's so funny

#

that would work too

crisp oak
#

Does the ranged immunity count for sniper shots?

halcyon zephyr
#

I haven't run it since the bolt pistol got buffed, but I ran Deathspitter + Frenzy Fire with an 80 stability Brauto. Charge up Deathspitter via close kills then tap shoot them from a distance

halcyon zephyr
#

It's range + ego damage

cyan verge
#

ego...?

bitter turtle
#

Ghost works vs snipers so I assume yes

cyan verge
#

imagine being a sniper and you shoot a guy and he just ignores it because he recently shot someone in the face

bitter turtle
#

I still dodge anyway just in case

cyan verge
#

yeah

#

duration is pretty short so if you can dodge may as well

crisp oak
#

Cam you still infinite kite ranged with the stamina one and the slide dodge stamina gain?

bitter turtle
#

Yea

#

If you mean 🦆 and 🤿

placid portal
#

Stripped Down users when they see gunners:

#

Does stripped down apply to snipersstaregryn

bitter turtle
#

I assume so based on ghost but I don't know for sure

crisp oak
#

if so might make sense over ghost for havoks

#

though..... does it work with your melee out

halcyon zephyr
#

With the above comments in mind

#

I really hate these iron sights

crisp oak
#

how do you have a 381 weapon?

cyan verge
#

WHAT

halcyon zephyr
placid portal
#

Is collateral even useful on recon?

halcyon zephyr
#

it's just a flashlight

paper trellis
#

Fairly certain it’s the dump stat

halcyon zephyr
#

Honestly, same

placid portal
#

Might as well dump collateral for mobility

crisp oak
#

not like it matters

placid portal
cyan verge
#

the recon sights

#

are god tier

#

you have never SEEN bad irons until you use the helbore

paper trellis
#

Tbf collateral does effect suppression, but it fires so fast it doesn’t need it

halcyon zephyr
crisp oak

Dont loike em, would rather use helbore irons KEKW_ogryn

vraks skin irons has a front sight

Vraks infantry slaps

laspistol - God tier
Kantrael - S Tier

Everything else - D tier

#

laspistol? erm... 🤢

paper trellis
#

I wish I was good enough to justify kantrael

paper trellis
crisp oak
#

most of the infantry autoguns tbh

cyan verge
placid portal
#

As much as I like kantrael sights I find it too visually overwhelming to use, much prefer simple dot or cross

cyan verge
#

really mad about that

placid portal
#

I just use mk4, I hate the skin iron

crisp oak
cyan verge
#

the recon has like beautiful tritium irons that line up perfectly

placid portal
#

I used it and felt sick bc it did not feel good

crisp oak
cyan verge
#

by comparison the helbore is like "eh here's... a front post, kind of, that turns invisible if you look at anything with it"

halcyon zephyr
placid portal
cyan verge
#

yeah I had very bad stability issues with weapon customization personally, a shame

crisp oak
cyan verge
#

oh is that so

#

maybe I'll try it

halcyon zephyr
#

Attempt 2, same blessings and perks as the first one?

cyan verge
#

since I WANT to use it, but, alas

#

wtf

#

why only t3?

#

you can have T4 blessings and perks dude

halcyon zephyr
placid portal
cyan verge
#

🤔

#

well

#

whateverz

crisp oak
#

why not infernus over dumdum?

#

since you should be critting boatloads

paper trellis
placid portal
#

Maybe infernus in havok

bitter turtle
#

Dumdum infernus

bitter turtle
#

Headhunter isn't needed

paper trellis
#

Imagine not doing dum dum and infernus

crisp oak
#

didnt remember which one

paper trellis
#

It is legitimately pretty easy to get good crit chance on recon

#

At least on vet

halcyon zephyr
#

So this is a "perfect" recon rn?

paper trellis
#

Autocorrect I am going to punch you in the throat

paper trellis
bitter turtle
paper trellis
#

Also dum dum effects base damage, so you get stronger fire dot

paper trellis
# crisp oak

Huh, that’s a fair bit better than the base iron sights

crisp oak
#

yeah

#

unironically p2w

paper trellis
#

Tho I think I’ll probably still stick with the reflex from weapon customization

crisp oak
#

yup

#

im a fan of a good irons

#

over the holo

paper trellis
#

Most of the irons in this game aren’t great, but the recon has fantastic irons

crisp oak
#

its why I liked the infantry autoguns

halcyon zephyr
#

just can't get weapon customization mod not to crash or seriously slow my game

cyan verge
paper trellis
#

Infantry has good ones too

cyan verge
#

incredibly rude

#

I honestly am not a huge fan of the weird squared off thing over the front post but

#

at least it has a glowy bit to it

halcyon zephyr
bitter turtle
#

Weapon customization potatonier

cyan verge
#

it's just a shame they forgot to add like a rear sight

bitter turtle

so once again it's just a front post

'period accurate' the period is the 41st millenium

It's weapon customization mod

vernal trench
#

Oh

paper trellis
#

Tbf half of the weapons are literally just recovered schematics

bitter turtle
#

So it doesn't exist in game

vernal trench
#

I thought its a skin lmfao

#

Mb

paper trellis
#

Lot of good skins in it

crisp oak
#

thats a flakmark recon

paper trellis
#

No relic blade or two handed force sword yet

crisp oak
#

you can turn the helbore into a mars pattern lasgun

#

I have to redownload the weapon customizaiton mod so it doesn't break my knife skin

paper trellis
paper trellis
#

Tbh I still don’t like how most of the helbores look even with the mod

cyan verge
#

by the way randomly, why do people not shoot barrels when they see them

crisp oak
#

thats makes you remove the bayo from the gun

cyan verge
#

90% of the time, barrels just cause you more trouble than it does the enemies...

#

just shoot barrels on sight imo

its kind of cool how ghost is really useful now with the gunner buffs

The melee is literally the best part of helbore

fatshark should bring that back

They should have kept bromentum

kinda wish infernus was cooler on ilas tho

Limbsplitter was busted though

Someone have tips for the on overwatch penance?

ancient path
crisp oak

imagine it with precog lol

bitter turtle
#

Run infiltrate and hit stealth any time you take a melee hit

crisp oak
bitter turtle
#

Run mobile weapons like laspistol and knife

#

You can take the first melee hit if you are at full toughness

#

Since it does no bleed through dmg

#

So if you just hit stealth the moment something taps you you should be safe

crisp oak
#

did fs fix that btw?

cyan verge
#

I take excutioner's with the 'Executioner's Stance marks all nearby barrels during its effect' node so I can kill barrels more effectively

ancient path
#

what is the wait to count as something as an 'opening salvo'

primal zealot
#

Like 2 seconds

bitter turtle
#

You can also look at the icon

bitter turtle

#

ooh thats why ppl go opening salvo on ilas 7

primal zealot

There’s a timer for it at the bottom

bitter turtle
#

Yea

tall torrent

And it's definitely not 2 seconds

ancient path
#

oh oops i read it wrong. roman numerials hard

primal zealot
#

So idk it might vary by weapon

bitter turtle
#

Oh maybe on ogryn

#

It does

ancient path
#

meant IX. which is ... 9?

bitter turtle

Since it's based on recoil reset

ancient path

i think

For vet weapons none of them take 2 seconds, thats hella long

Nope

I’m neutral on barrels

cyan verge

I hate em because often me and my team push into one and then we're standing next to a red barrel all going like uhhh so what are we gonna do about that barrel. no one breathe near it okay, then inevitably a zealot with relic blade nicks it with the tip of their sword and we just have to cope with standing in the fire for a couple seconds

I have been out of the loop for a long while

paper trellis

Idk it was in the ad for a video I just pulled up

cyan verge
#

yeah it originated as a model for 40k obviously

#

12 years ago and I just did not know about it

paper trellis
#

I’m still a wee babe of a 40k enjoyer

cyan verge
#

all I know is defiler

#

which is old

bitter turtle
#

Cause my team awkwardly stands around it not sure if they should go near it or not

cyan verge
#

lol

bitter turtle
#

And I'm scared one will walk forward just as I shoot it

#

Lol

cyan verge
#

yeah I just mean like, ideally you deal with it by shooting it when it's very distant right

#

then you never have to worry about it again

#

that would make me happy if that were a thing I could force into the brain of every other player

#

cuz odds are barrels are not going to help you

bitter turtle
#

They help you

#

With barrel kill penance

cyan verge
#

true

bitter turtle
cyan verge
#

I am already pretty far along with that

#

I am like 1000/2500

bitter turtle
#

Same

#

I'm on the last one

cyan verge
#

I just lied because I have legitimately sometimes killed hordes by blowing a red barrel then just running past it so hordes chase me through the flames and inexplicably all die

#

there's a couple places where it's the shortest route so they will happily just run through it

bitter turtle
#

Too bad red barrel doesn't count towards penance

paper trellis
#

They can help during a retreat

cyan verge
#

no way

#

you're joking

#

that makes me so mad

paper trellis
#

Hit em and keep running

cyan verge
#

why does nothing work and why is everything broken

bitter turtle
#

The actual explosion does no dmg

cyan verge
#

yeah

bitter turtle
#

So they died to burn damage

cyan verge
#

surely the burn damage counts as barrel

bitter turtle
#

Not the barrel

#

:^)

cyan verge
#

but

  • fatshark probably

#

I got it accidentally in that one mission with the massive area where you have to reset all the terminals

bitter turtle
#

Wait no

#

I lied

#

Just searched

#

They patched it to work

cyan verge
#

oh

#

GOOD

bitter turtle
#

Didnt in the beginning though

unborn dove
#

What would be a good combat axe roll? I have all 80% besides mobility at 60%

unborn dove
#

Idk how good first target is

bitter turtle
#

Thags the good roll

bitter turtle
unborn dove
#

Alright nice

bitter turtle
#

Moreso than dmg

unborn dove
bitter turtle
#

Influences damage more than the dmg stat

#

Dmg is actually the lowest or 2nd lowest influence

#

First target > finesse > pen or dmg depending on what you're hitting

#

In terms of influence on your damage

unborn dove
#

Alright nice I got it then even tho it’s grey lol

cyan verge
#

okay

#

you don't understand weapons so let me explain

#

you can upgrade:

  • power level (bringing up stats to potential maximum)
  • perks (changed whenever you want)
  • blessings (whenever you want for)
  • rarity (for plasteel + diamantine)
bitter turtle
cyan verge
#

so as long as you have the 'correct' potential maximum stats, i.e. 60% mobility, then you have a 'perfect' weapon

#

even if it is 'grey'

unborn dove
#

Ohh okay I’ll definitely upgrade then

cyan verge
#

wait since you are obviously new you probably are poor

unborn dove
#

What would be good perks/blessings?

cyan verge
#

what power level is it right now

#

is it like 300

#

or more like 90

unborn dove
#

270

cyan verge
#

that's fine

tall torrent
cyan verge
#

you can invest in it then if you like it

bitter turtle
#

Yea just upgrade it to 500 if you like it

#

And yeah that

#

You need unarmored if you don't take a lot of melee talents

cyan verge
#

also before you ask, yes you can change the 'version' of the weapon by clicking Marks in the inventory screen and if you have a combat axe you probably want the 'Rashad'

#

so if you have a weapon that's the wrong mark don't junk it just because

unborn dove
#

Especially the revolver

#

I couldn’t get Zarona for a looong time

cyan verge
#

sigh

#

that makes me sad

#

well, unless it had perfect stats it's fine

#

you can freely junk random things that don't have perfect stats

#

oh and yes in case you haven't figured THAT out yet either 'Discard' in the inventory screen is actually 'Sell' cuz it gives you money + mats, sometimes

#

which you will mostly want to do only when your weapons are max mastery

karmic moat
#

wishing all vets a happy bayonet charge today

peak tree
#

whats the plasma gun dump stat?

austere mica

Doesn't have one

#

69 thermal 71 charge rate

Plasma dump stat is your time and resources

:p

elder fiber

Or accepting a non god roll based on preference of charge vs thermal

theres a decent one available on the limited exchange, was eyin it.

cyan verge

well okay

paper trellis
#

The struggle of trying to get a perfect roll plasma

steady wolf
#

60 mobility stuff takes like 6-12 checks of Brunt but it's been hundreds and no perfect plasma

#

how it be ig

cyan verge
#

yeah, or eventually you just buy greys and brute force it

steady wolf
#

me too poor

cyan verge
#

exactly

#

gotta play the game more

steady wolf

That just leads to levelling more gear and staying poor lol

Gonna take a while

you can bring any old crap into damnation it's fine

just be good

Not on my oggy lol, rumbler is so bad 💀

sure is crack to use tho

or is it damage/hitmass limiting

Otherwise all the 4x ds4 teams would fold

It isn't true infinite

Why can't I kill the entire horde in one swing

It's not fair

tall torrent
bitter turtle

Oh?

tall torrent
#

It works 3 times (which lets first target be on 4th enemy)

bitter turtle
#

Did they nerf it or do you mean

#

Ok yeah figured

tall torrent
#

It’s coded as working 3 times

bitter turtle
#

Yeah i getcha

#

It's technically 3 because the first enemy isn't applying bromentum

#

Is what you're saying

tall torrent
#

I can’t believe I’m forced to consider running knife over axe

bitter turtle

I would

Did you guys make it back to 39?
