driller is the best drg class hands down im like legendary +14 on him
Spouting fax
I like all the classes but digger is the best if you want to carry
lit like 1200 hours on that game
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
Ik I just found it funny you recommended the most cracked vet setup
duelling sword IV
rashad combat axe for all around effectiveness
Honestly I like focus target more than weapon specialist
focus target is good too
I really wish I liked Rashad more
I actually like both of them just fine
ds4 is poor at horde clear
Same
Not with weapon specialist stacks....
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
I'm working towards it, main reason I chose it over weapon specialist is I couldn't be bothered to read/understand the statistics.
is rashad and colum autogun the best combo for vet?
Funny thing is I really enjoy the taxe. Shame it has all of no carapace damage
idr what's the other one, oh yeah marksman, marksman is junk
Works in havoks below 20 at least
my antax axe won't leave me
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?
00:00- Build Breakdown
11:40- Heretic Beatdown
loik and sherbscriab
ists never going to clear as good as rashad
doesn't need to
Combat axe? Yeah same it's the first weapon I 100%ed the mastery for, also one of two, but still the first.
it does if you play havoc 40 with no purg psyker
on moebian 21st modifier
- Kill 5-10 ppl with melee
- kill one person with gun
- profit
then u hate yourself when you have four ds4 zealot/vets
Need to try out the rashad (thats the mext melee after tacaxe)
sounds like a team comp issue
i can show you mine later, at werk rn
you need someone to tackle hordes
yes
it may as well be inferno staff psyker
The tactical axe is the one I enjoy. Sadly it’s just flat out worse than combat axe for armor
that is why you would bring rashad
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
which is my point
Use what you like
and yes it would be nice to have a purg staff psyker
but we dont always get what we like
on our teams
Eh seems too complicated for me, maybe I should just go play ogryn.
They don't have to think a lot do they?
No. Recon and plasma are probably the two strongest guns
Kill shoot gun, kill with melee, swap back to gun to get ammo back
For legal reasons this is a joke I like playing vet just not having to worry about spending multiple hours getting meta stats
in auric or havoc?
the meta is differennt between them
Thing is I can't really tell the difference so idk what I should be using.
auric -> yea
havoc -> rashad yes, autoguns no
Trying to randomly join a 25 Havoc to get the pants be like
yeah good luck with that
I would say just try out all of the weapons until you find one you like
I like the shovel the most
Ok will do
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
Respected Sir, please let me do one mission to get a cosmetic. Thank you very much
Send to Spam
Despite the dueling sword being required of me in later havoks
Shovel is unironically great
I imagine people at high Havocs are either chill af or the biggest bitches in existence
Knowing most games the biggest bitches in existence
Next patch: vet gets 2 handed shovel
You make the tiniest slip up in most games at high level and you get kicked
Helps that shovel can shore up any weakness in a build
I will just host my own
whats sugested for havoc
Nah we need dual wield shovels to go with the Vrax pack
depends on the grade of mistake
2 handed so we can dig deeper
I just want power sword and thammer to work like relic blade. It feels so good to use and I love the charge attack
I have kicked people in auric maelstrom for doing completely stupid things
I played with a bunch of people who were higher up and the games were going well but the social climate was awful
after making very questionable decisions beforehand
I think i was spared the shittalk cause i am a noob
it's already rough enough in auric maelstroms that if you make 1 mistake you can just be GG game over
recon, laspistol, bistol (ive been told, havent tried)
anything with dots
basically
so in havoc it's like, doubly so
infernus is extremely good in havoc
you just cannot make, any mistakes
Bistol... really?
yes because of puncture apparently
Guess it is ammo efficient
i dont know i havent tried it myself
there are chances for recovery but you really do not want to be in that situation
so take that one with a grain of salt
oh, bolt pistol for bleed application I guess
only have used laspistol and recon
Bolt pistol is fun and strong
except yeah the ammo efficiency would probably be pretty bad
Bolter might work better if puncture is needed
That’s true
maybe
so maybe it was a game where they had like 2/4 psykers
Weapon specialist ammo regen
bolter mobility is pretty ugh but you could try it
You need to use a melee setup with it
Is clutch af on the bolt pistol
It’s not regen. It pulls from your stock
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
How do you even get such people? I just solo Q and it works well for me@cyan verge
If you run out of ammo weapon specialist dies
For Auric Maelstorm
Am I a silly billy
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.
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
smoke is great in havoc if you have no dome psyker
its arguably better than dome at really high levels
lol no worries. It’s an easy mistake to make
I have no clue what that means I got here last week
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
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
Dome is the psyker sphere shield
smoke requires more though than
"i see a lot of enemies"
so a lot of people dont use it
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
frag with extra shrapnel and sometimes a suprise friend: another grenade!
it also was garbage until they buffed and bugfixed it in the past
Or a pack of crushers
so it has a negative reputation
The Havoc matchmaking is a disaster
the problem is too is like smokes just haven't been relevant before so it's probably gonna take a while
Smoke gets better the denser the enemy gets, i.e High Intensity Shocktroop Gauntlet 
Some clowns join who aren't even allowed to play Havocs
Cause they join via their friends
oh yeah I saw that yesterday
Oh yeah I saw that earlier, no clue what it does I think it regens toughness since I got shot and meleed through it when trying to do an interrogation.
Do you guys throw smokes on the party, on enemies, or use it as a wall
do not throw them at enemies
it does nothing
and I had a bad feeling as soon as I saw that
Yes
but yeah the party lasted 2 minutes before we wiped
It also blocks bullets
2 minutes in havoc like 24
In high havocs, the bullets hurt more
Havoc seems messy af
Why can people even deny the Havoc mission, i listed?
I don't even dare to do havoc.
Wdym
Tbh set up a room in discord
Smoke prevents a good majority of specials from using their ability other than mutie and sniper if they are outside of the smoke
And do it that way
Currently I'm only doing malice and even then I lose matches to my teammates being idiots.
It’s really not as hard as it sounds
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
I just want the cosmetics and then i want to go Auric Maelstorms cause they're more fun
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.
lol
Three minutes later we lost the match cos half the team was dead.
smokes also help against specials
smoke vs flamer
lol
So how should one use smokes? I haven’t used them a lot
throw them at your feet or where you are going
well
do not throw them at enemies
if you see a lot of gunfire
it does nothing
Smoke nulls flamers? Well shit
i have tested
wait
According to the penance, throw it at a horde
yea the penance is stupid
there's a penance that
it does not
i know
that's wild
the penance is fucking stupid
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.
So be Batman
They dont extinguish flames like CSGO but it sure does stop them from using it if you make use of it 
"Engulf 2k mobs in smoke"
yes you are squishier than ever before
There are a few penances that are just stupid
Yeah
This was malice
Like loner penance is legitimately just anti team
inf act
Which one is that?
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
So treat smokes as bubble without the regen
Smoke blocks line of sight but only reduces sight range if they are inside
so its worse in that sense
Not bubble, the wall one
I can work with that
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
And sniper too iirc?
like they will straight up chcuk it on top of your entire team standing in smoke
it works vs sniper
How about trappers?
trappers have shortened range but will still find you
dogs are confused
sec
i recorded all of them
Trappers will have to enter smoke to shoot at limited vision range
It works on dogs? Did not see that coming
I swear we put meth in these smokes, they are all tweaking
sniper
#veteran-class message
Hmm if smokes are actually worth a damn I might tinker with a build or two
bomber (does not work)
also mutants dont care
but mutants also dont care about dome
so its whatever
I personally thunk smokes get better the more enemies there are
That cut made me chuckle
Man that guy had somewhere to be
Wolfer dont pay me enuff for this shiiit
Now how do I avoid my party tweaking over me using smokes?
depends
Exterminatus
I really don't think you need em in anything other than havoc
Your party can't tweak out over you using smokes if there is no party
Be in a premade
That sure sounds like heresy
Lol I just quickplay into auric maelstrom and people were chill
They're the ones complaining about imperium issue equipment
Still failed that mission bc I forgot to spam more smokes at the end 😭😭😭
What do you guys think about the bolters. Pistol or rifle?
bolt pistol and boltgun are both good
Depends on how you wanna approach enemies
Pistol is more reactive normally
is there any special build for havoc 20+ or do builds really start mattering for specific keystones at 30+?
Well it’s the funny “dump all aggro onto the team button” 
Bolter does neuron activation
you can quickdraw the bolter
Boltgun can magdump into big chunks of enemies and do fine
Tbf bolter feels like you see some nastiness approaching and you don’t want to deal with it
The worst is heckbor in terms of swap speed for vets 
And do ~75% of a monstrositys hp
wow
that's fast
wtf
is it just aiming as you pull it
cuz yeah I do that already
If weakened, yea 
reload to cancel swap animation -> sprint to cancel reload animation
You think smokes are worth grenade regen perks?
Yeah I was using it to rival my friends six shooter quickdraw build because funny
maybe in havoc
i dont smoke in havoc personally though
If weakened it just disseapears
shredders are REALLY good
Ueah shredders let you infinite grenade works
I did not believe until I used em but yeah you can genuinely just throw shredders all the time in havoc
Shredders kill elites->demo team->kills elites
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
Krieg grenadier might work ironically
Demo team also proc if teammates kill elite right?
Shredders have good cc and damage
"wear a krieg outfit and take every grenade talent"
Imma have to find 1 more talent point then 
With helbore? Really?!
no not with hb
Oh
Could run infantry
I have such a hard time making helbore passable
i tried ilas on path's suggestion
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
Yeah pud is oof
I like the recon las. But I heard is not very efficient in the longrun
I have rare instances I get to pull 5 stack weight of fire gunning down everything 
in auric there is better but its still pretty decent
in havoc its meta
? Wut recon is cracked
Recon is legitimately amazing
Vet is honestly there as a paersonality pick (and by personality I mean survivalist and field improv)
recon is a very good gun
Probably. I got the game last week
whats the meta for power sword?
just use what you like
Vld or whatever the high dakka recon mk is goes BRRRRR
everything up until the really new endgame mode they just released can be easily cleared with any loadout
power cycler + brutal momentum for power sword
Anything more than like 2 months old is outdated
so its better to just play what you have fun with
The vast majority of gear is viable
Recon takes so long to kill in havoc
I miss uncanny stroke bayonet
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
I must be missing something
It’s mostly the builds that make or break
are you running infernus?
Yes
Tank the malding from your teammates bc you brought a heckbor and smokes in Auric Damnation 
idk then
Get your crit rate up my man, and get those headshots
Thanks for the advice guys. I started with the zealot but I'm really hooked with the veteran
Havok meta is dots i guess
veteran is the best and most fun class in the game
so yeah there's a pattern here i think
same with purg staff
and flamer
all dots lol
Headshots aren't the problem, get plenty. Just feels bad to be holding the trigger for five seconds or more on a gunners head
Laspistol got ghost + infernus 
I do hope combat shotgun and helbore get buffed
if you're shooting a hardened reaper
that's just the reality of it
it takes even longer on most other guns
I really enjoy combat shotgun. Sadly it’s just not that efficient
Heckbor mk4 might need to land 2 crit heads if harden 
Bring mynkantrael back
i couldnt check if my 14 recon was actually cleaving trash until asking here lol
(it wasnt)
Recon don’t cleave but fires so fast it might as well
Does it? Huh didn’t notice
havoc, eventually the hitmass is increased to the point where all it can cleave is shooters
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
Does born leader increase the amount of toughness i give to teammates with voc?
yes
Does vet have less base recoil compared to other classes?
Don’t you love it when ppl at a sister workplace do something incredibly stupid and you have to clean it up
Neat
That sucks 😔
What do y'all run on the infantry las btw?
How good are you at quick headshots?
ghost and... shudder? ghost and... fade? ghost and...
I used the hellbore with irons... effectively
So hopefully fine
Does vet have less base recoil compared to other classes?

wtf I'm doing rolling steel sedition and it keeps dropping me like NEAR max power weapons
One of the crit blessings along with the crit headshot blessing can do some work
gave me this earlier and I was like wtf this is legitimately better than my current revolver
Neat
and this is on the easiest difficulty on the shortest map
Train
train
Yeah mission drops are buggin
One of my favorite maps tbh
I think they improved it dramatically with the last update
10% more time + less minigame is a nice buff
has anyone tried the other infantry las guns?
It does have deadshot, but it’s kinda niche
Meanwhile brunt's weapon req keeps givin me perfect weapons
Meanwhile Auric Damnation drops:
69 damage cap 40 penetration cap
80 mobility cap😭😭😭
less minigame
no one has ever tried the other ones, ever
thank fuck
deadshot it only sway reduction
rolling steel is the worst mission because one person just has to stare at a circle for 75% of it
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
thank fuck
ah good im very glad no one has ever tried the other lasguns ever since darktide has been in development
so it's a LOT shorter
i might actually play it more now
and the mission gets +10% more time across all difficulties
ill be the very first guardsmaam to try one out
so ironically its the most boring thing to do
I dont use deadshot on helbore no more, I like my stamina and I want to keep jt 
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
Dont need deadshot, got surgical
this should help a lot to make it... doable
I need to get my executioners stance penance done so I can never use it again
there's
Spoke no truer, though I will miss having 65% crit every shot 
good luck
It is so much worse than the other two options
Keeps kicking in at the worst moments
it doesn't do enough
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
which is a shame because conceptually it's cool
And the only utility option of highlighting for the party actively gimps you
Make it last 20 seconds so the penance is easier
if it restored all your toughness and gave you iron will for its duration it could be considered
Thank you
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
Using Exe stance for damage ❌
Using Exe stance to wallhack 
Instant reload
Don’t think I’ve ever had a party that kept hordes off me well enough that executioners stance would be consistently practical
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
Loyal Protector Ogryns 
Tbh if it also worked for melee that wpuld be cooler
i miss instant reload
mag dumping bolter > exe > mag dump was really fun
Sadly I don’t run with many since I mostly play with pubs. But they truly are awesome
same yo
but you cant be having fun in your pve game
thats illegal
thats why they nerfed ogryn
Is there a real shooter deleter for higher level havoc that isn't plasma or boltgun?
There are at least.... more than 2 ogryn mains sah
Want to get good with oggy
Without shield
also why does the bolt pistol have a maximum range of 75m
Need to learn how to dodge better
asking for a friend (friend is me)
Dodge slide is your friend
Infantry autogun is the real shooter culling tool 
If you want to learn to dodge well, zealot is absolutely your friend
Easy. Kill betterer
Yeah need to get used to slide dodging
I use VIc recon or laspistol
I don't wanna use those iron sights 😦
Ironically playing zealot made me a much better vet
Shit this is what I fear.
Columnus irons are cash money
I'm the only person who it seems cannot into bolt pistol. I am just, a terrble shot, with bolty specifically
I want to delete shooters and still run weapon specialist + VOC
@40 in case you wonder
I guess I'm trying to eat my cake and have it too
Brauto it is, hip fire ftw
Er
Why would that be a problem
Las pistol is unironically pretty damn good in Havoc
doesn't work as well in higher levels unfortunately
For recon or laspis
wait mien doesnt use irons he just hip fires?
because I'm bad obv
I want to like brauto more, but the time to kill always seems lacking
It's so much fun on Heresy
If you use bolter already you definitely are good enough to use easier weapons
braced autogun is not the infantry autogun
Agripinaa Brauto is fun as heck
great for hordes
infantry autogun = ironsights
braced autogun = weird braced hipfire mode
Why would you brace the gun, that's actually throwing
I am a dingus, thank for the clearning up
Why brace when crouch fire like CSGO 
Check the name lol
Exactly!
cuz I was explaining it so we're all on the same page here
Doesnt the Graia and Columnus Brauto have unique effects from bracing?
Fair and balanced
Braced also seemed to have less armor pen for me
Not sure if just weapon I got and blessings, or how it actually is
brauto has so much more pen than it looks, and DS+FF on it means the closer enemies just charge it up
idk I just spray and pray (to the emperor)
Maybe its cuz Im not hitting weakspots
With its braced spread
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
Facts
Run it with stripped down and sprint at him
I initially had this problem about a year ago when I first came in here and talked mad shit about the brauto and then was converted
I mean for mid ranges it's fine it's just yeah if there is a gunner way over 'there' like you might need to tap fire a lot to hit him
Is there a better way to use it?
Thats why i said
Run it with stripped down and sprint at him
LOL
Unironically
Does the ranged immunity count for sniper shots?
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
yes
I think it counts for ranged damage
It's range + ego damage
ego...?
Ghost works vs snipers so I assume yes
imagine being a sniper and you shoot a guy and he just ignores it because he recently shot someone in the face
I still dodge anyway just in case
Cam you still infinite kite ranged with the stamina one and the slide dodge stamina gain?
I assume so based on ghost but I don't know for sure
yee
if so might make sense over ghost for havoks
though..... does it work with your melee out
how do you have a 381 weapon?
WHAT
Visual bug prob
Is collateral even useful on recon?
I don't think so
it's just a flashlight
Fairly certain it’s the dump stat
Honestly, same
Might as well dump collateral for mobility

the recon sights
are god tier
you have never SEEN bad irons until you use the helbore
Tbf collateral does effect suppression, but it fires so fast it doesn’t need it
Avid helbore denier, so no I won't see it
helbore is p2w now
Dont loike em, would rather use helbore irons 
Nah use mk4
vraks skin irons has a front sight
Vraks infantry?
no
Vraks infantry slaps
Sights tier list
laspistol - God tier
Kantrael - S Tier
Bolter - B tier
Everything else - D tier
Helbore - F tier
nah like the weapon skin in the shop rn
has a front sight
laspistol? erm... 🤢
I wish I was good enough to justify kantrael
tbh columnus should be in B
Laspistol is great, what are you on about?
most of the infantry autoguns tbh
unironically true
As much as I like kantrael sights I find it too visually overwhelming to use, much prefer simple dot or cross
really mad about that
I just use mk4, I hate the skin iron
or you mod and give it the kantrael sights (you lose the charge indicator though)
the recon has like beautiful tritium irons that line up perfectly
I used it and felt sick bc it did not feel good
don't like the mk4
by comparison the helbore is like "eh here's... a front post, kind of, that turns invisible if you look at anything with it"
for me it's > til the game crashes
Understandable
yeah I had very bad stability issues with weapon customization personally, a shame
honestly haven't crashed with the newest one
since I WANT to use it, but, alas
wtf
why only t3?
you can have T4 blessings and perks dude
Just made it
Placeholder*
Mind posting a pic? Idk what the sights look like and the fandom website is shitting itself
5% crit and flak
Dumdum infernus
sure hol up
Imagine not doing dum dum and infernus
So this is a "perfect" recon rn?
Autocorrect I am going to punch you in the throat
Yeah
Yea
Also dum dum effects base damage, so you get stronger fire dot
white line is heads
Tho I think I’ll probably still stick with the reflex from weapon customization
Most of the irons in this game aren’t great, but the recon has fantastic irons
its why I liked the infantry autoguns
just can't get weapon customization mod not to crash or seriously slow my game
Infantry has good ones too
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
They gotta fuck it up somehow ya know?
Weapon customization 
it's just a shame they forgot to add like a rear sight
so once again it's just a front post
its a period accurat front sight
The most recent patch fixed most of them
'period accurate' the period is the 41st millenium
Still didn’t fix no trinkets on laspistol and infantry lasgun tho
I mean its not a picatinny rail as a sight
Ik totally small thing but I like my little scroll caddy
Damn whats that skin
Oh
Tbf half of the weapons are literally just recovered schematics
So it doesn't exist in game
Lot of good skins in it
thats a flakmark recon
No relic blade or two handed force sword yet
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
That’s what that part setup is supposed to be? I couldn’t make heads or tails of it
the weird small branx pattern
Tbh I still don’t like how most of the helbores look even with the mod
by the way randomly, why do people not shoot barrels when they see them
thats makes you remove the bayo from the gun
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
You can also turn it into a gunblade
Removing the bayo from helbore is heresy
thats racism

Yea it's an old pic too
yep
(don't recognize that blade type lol)
The melee is literally the best part of helbore
used to work with melee blessings
fatshark should bring that back
They should have kept bromentum
kinda wish infernus was cooler on ilas tho
Limbsplitter was busted though
Would be nice if it hit with more stacks
uncanny strikes
Someone have tips for the on overwatch penance?
ye.
imagine it with precog lol
Anytime you hear a backstab noise press dodge
Run infiltrate and hit stealth any time you take a melee hit
jump off a cliff at the start of a match (don't do this)
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
did fs fix that btw?
if it is racism then I am racist against barrels. I hate them. I hate those damned barrels.
I take excutioner's with the 'Executioner's Stance marks all nearby barrels during its effect' node so I can kill barrels more effectively
what is the wait to count as something as an 'opening salvo'
Stealth might work yeah
Recoil reset
Like 2 seconds
You can also look at the icon
No that's way too long
ooh thats why ppl go opening salvo on ilas 7
There’s a timer for it at the bottom
Yea
Do not
And it's definitely not 2 seconds
oh oops i read it wrong. roman numerials hard
Only thing I’ve used it on is stubber 1 and it more or less lines up with max surgical stacks
So idk it might vary by weapon
meant IX. which is ... 9?
Since it's based on recoil reset
i think
For vet weapons none of them take 2 seconds, thats hella long
holy shit this chat scrolls
I went and ate some food and came back and it was like 500+ new 😄
IX gets some use out of it
But it’s not enough
wanna make it go faster? 
ahh much better
i wish the was something to make it easier to aim
the conveniently compatible ogryn sized reflex sight:
let me introduce you to Aimlabs
i have the perfect soyjack response
for this statement
give me a second
height over bore
aim seems centered
yee its not bad
I'm on everything
Damn dude unlocked a new node by the power of racism
you guys don't have it...?
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
What is that minigun centaur in the mechanicus ad?
Sorry, tacticus
all I can thikn of with like minigun centaur is, the necron destroyer
huh?
do you mean sabaoth from doom 3
which I am not gonna show a picture of since it's moderately horrifying and off-topic

Yes
I honestly have no idea what that is
why it have tf2 bread bite mouth
maybe they invented it for this game, or it's some new chaos model idk anything about
forgefiend
I thought it was a centaur because the cut as an ad is different
forgefiend, thanks
Like dark mechanicus demon engine?
Idk it was in the ad for a video I just pulled up
yeah it originated as a model for 40k obviously
12 years ago and I just did not know about it
I’m still a wee babe of a 40k enjoyer
Thats why I don't shoot them sometimes
Cause my team awkwardly stands around it not sure if they should go near it or not
lol
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
true

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
Too bad red barrel doesn't count towards penance
They can help during a retreat
Hit em and keep running
why does nothing work and why is everything broken
The actual explosion does no dmg
yeah
So they died to burn damage
surely the burn damage counts as barrel
but
- fatshark probably
the
I got it accidentally in that one mission with the massive area where you have to reset all the terminals
Didnt in the beginning though
What would be a good combat axe roll? I have all 80% besides mobility at 60%
That
Idk how good first target is
Thags the good roll
The most important stat
Alright nice
Moreso than dmg
Really why?
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
Alright nice I got it then even tho it’s grey lol
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)
You just upgrade it to gold
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'
Ohh okay I’ll definitely upgrade then
wait since you are obviously new you probably are poor
What would be good perks/blessings?
270
that's fine
Carapace + unarmored/elite
Brutal momentum
Headtaker
you can invest in it then if you like it
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
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
Well fuck that’s a lot of weapons gone lmao
Especially the revolver
I couldn’t get Zarona for a looong time
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
wishing all vets a happy bayonet charge today
whats the plasma gun dump stat?
Plasma dump stat is your time and resources
:p
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.
@tired egret
If there is no dump stat then is a full 76 plasma gun any good?
You'd miss your breakpoints
you're looking at melk's store aren't you
I was just curious. Not even playing atm
well okay
The struggle of trying to get a perfect roll plasma
60 mobility stuff takes like 6-12 checks of Brunt but it's been hundreds and no perfect plasma
how it be ig
yeah, or eventually you just buy greys and brute force it
me too poor
Not on my oggy lol, rumbler is so bad 💀
Hopefully WS double barrel and knife is good in higher diff stuff
sure is crack to use tho
It gets glassy in high havoc
And you actually begin to reach the limits of fucking Manstopper
Double barrel will not work
Knife yes
Until Moebian 21st rolls up
In havoc I mean
Then you’re hitting one guy per swing 
This is why the purg psyker is there
I thought it was infinite cleave
or is it damage/hitmass limiting
It isn't true infinite
Interesting
Just like how bromentum caps at 4
Fatshark is lies
Why can't I kill the entire horde in one swing
It's not fair
BM cap is actually 3
Oh?
It works 3 times (which lets first target be on 4th enemy)
It’s coded as working 3 times
Yeah i getcha
It's technically 3 because the first enemy isn't applying bromentum
Is what you're saying
I can’t believe I’m forced to consider running knife over axe
No we ended after 6th loss lol
I’m more frustrated by not getting any progress to my penance cuz I rly want to get the M53rd chest armor
What are you at rn
31/50
Damn
I didn’t play that much
Cuz I know I don’t have to specifically grind levels
I’ll just find high ranks to join eventually
yeah oof
Wait why lol
does the powered up stage of power sword have infinite cleave? i'm not sure why cleave would be it's dumpstat otherwise
Brutal Momentum exists
It just has alot but yeah I dump cleave targets
4 targets of zero falloff
I hope they rework the power sword like the relic blade
Someone call the techpriest. The Party Finder's machine spirit is acting up
They probably won't
clear your keywords
Oh I thought it was a generic error
Melee combat is irrelevant outside of killing elites
Dammit. 😄
i got one with 69 charge 71 thermal. I was malding then laughed about it
Well this one just happened to be on Melk's but pretty much. No luck so far.
to be fair
