How do you optimize shock maul? It always feels a little weak but I’m fairly certain it’s user error

Let me rephrase

#

You can easily carry with this build in auric

red laurel

#

In havoc the sole problem is no survivalist

#

Smoke grenades are good

crisp oak
bitter turtle
#

Better than krak meme anyway

umbral parrot
bitter turtle
#

They already bugfixed and buffed them to being good

umbral parrot
#

Smokes need a major buff....or rewo-

bitter turtle
#

If you think psyker dome is good its the same shit

umbral parrot
#

Wait, when?

red laurel
bitter turtle
#

Except it doesn't go down in 6 seconds in havoc 40

#

Fellow veterans

#

is this it

#

is my gambling over?

crisp oak
frank ledge
#

After 8 million dockets

umbral parrot
#

Smoke is still too weak. I would say it needs a larger radius for smoke to be good

frank ledge
#

I have done it

red laurel
#

Only now I noticed I got to the tier of Iron Will. What should I replace with it?

bitter turtle
#

From a regenerating utility blitz

bitter turtle
#

You're right

#

It should do shredder bleed in the cloud

umbral parrot
crisp oak
#

I was thinking more box

umbral parrot
#

Faster smoke deployment, larger radius

bitter turtle
#

If you do 35+ havoc you will understand why it's useful

red laurel
bitter turtle
#

Shredder is still best though

crisp oak
#

Throw box, engulf smoke that breaks enemy ai like zealot stealth

umbral parrot
crisp oak
#

Heck even in 20s the gunners are annoying

umbral parrot
#

Still, I cannot in good faith recommend it to anyone.

bitter turtle
#

Yeah when you reach the mode where gunners will literally kill you 50m away for peeking

bitter turtle
#

You will understand why being immune to gunners for 15 /30 sec is good

crisp oak
#

And crushers ignore wounds

bitter turtle
#

Dome regularly goes down in 6 seconds (minimum time)

#

Since it's eating so much gunfire

crisp oak
#

Only node I see there than can be moved at all

bitter turtle
#

And it's useful for more than just gunners too

umbral parrot
#

The issue with smokes is that they do not deploy when you need them in a pinch. Do you get shot by gunners and have enough time to deploy smokes, or do you drop smokes before gunners blast you apart?

If the former, won't faster deployment of smoke buff would be awesome? If the latter, normal grenades or 1 tap plasma would be better?

bitter turtle
#

The point of dome/smoke is to create space because you're pinned down by 30 gunners

#

So you should be deploying it preemptively

grand perch
#

i too think smokes should deploy faster

#

on par with zealot fire nades would be best

elder fiber
#

I think they should deploy even slower

grand perch
#

and i think theyr e good even outside havoc

bitter turtle
#

I think they should deploy only in the next game

#

At random intervals

bitter turtle
elder fiber
bitter turtle
#

But what is necessary, etc

grand perch

#

When does havoc get actually hard?

#

I heard people get stuck ag 20-22?

crisp oak
#

Sometimes you get screwed (tox gas, pus hardened, goo, fading light)

umbral scaffold
#

I wanna push it even more

#

But the matchmaking is a chore

#

At least people don't dare to leave

paper trellis
umbral scaffold
#

I'd try smoke and krak

#

If my team could deal with hordes

#

But they can't

I thought it was 71 for the charge rate and 69 heat management. Looks like the one I have

paper trellis
#

Once I have my krak penance done I’m phasing them out of my builds

umbral scaffold
#

500 enemies doesn't sound that long

bitter turtle
#

30s is when teamwork needs to be on point

#

Hard to drag a body over the finish line at that point

paper trellis
tall torrent
#

I think what smokes need is a higher stagger value (to be able to stagger ragers & maulers)

candid agate
bitter turtle
#

smoke is actually full of stims (drugs) to heal you

red laurel
#

Is Born Leader a good Talent?

candid agate
paper trellis
gilded wraith
candid agate
#

yeah, would also make it useful for situations without shooters

bitter turtle
#

but nothing on that line is good

#

so pick your poison

paper trellis
#

Tho honestly I do think any enemy in smokes should be highlighted as long as they are in it

red laurel
#

For the Emperor does not sound bad

bitter turtle
#

5 seconds is very short for such a low buff (10%)

#

still

#

its the one i use in aurics

#

i use suppression +50% in havoc

paper trellis
paper trellis
#

Suppression is probably the most practical yes, but I would say shield regen is bad

bitter turtle
#

its just incredibly small

#

the only point of it is that shout gives a bit more toughness to your team

paper trellis
candid agate
#

which one is born leader again

paper trellis
#

Your party gets a fraction of any toughness you regen

candid agate
#

oh that one

tall torrent
#

Going from 50 to 72

#

It’s ok

paper trellis
#

I’m pretty sure it includes the toughness restored by shout, but could be mistaken

bitter turtle
#

it does

#

and that's basically the only half decent part about it

#

in terms of toughness gain on kill its like lower than 3%

#

and 3% is being generous

#

because that would mean you gained 21% toughness on a kill for yourself

paper trellis
#

I do generally agree that the suppression bonus is the most practical tho. Suppression is a rather strong cc

bitter turtle
#

i would never take it in auric

#

suppression i mean

#

but for havoc the shooters are such a problem that you cant rambo in and kill them all anyway

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

i honestly

#

have no idea

#

i see other people use it tho

#

so im gonna just say "yeah sure idk maybe its just placebo"

#

lol

#

cant test easily

tall torrent
#

I do realize 1 thing with suppression

#

It makes ranged enemies shoot way less accurately

#

But it doesn’t last very long

bitter turtle
#

yea

#

but even a fraction of a second helps

#

given how fucking vicious the gunfire gets

tall torrent
#

Actually

#

Lemme show u smth

bitter turtle
#

id consider FTE but its useless for infiltrate

#

since it activates on stealth rather than on stealth break

frank ledge
bitter turtle
#

unlike every other ability buff

#

for some reason

paper trellis
bitter turtle
#

you wont be suppressing any melee units that matter either way

paper trellis
#

And yeah, fte is terrible with infiltrate

bitter turtle
#

they are suppression immune after all

tall torrent
#

infiltrate has a separate stagger effect that's not written

paper trellis
#

Ahh my mistake

#

The game lied to me

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

yeah

#

thats not bad at all

tall torrent
#

It just doesn’t last very long

bitter turtle
#

enough for someone caught out to slide into cover at least

tall torrent
#

U need like

#

2 plasma shots to make every shooter cower

bitter turtle
#

if only you could suppress shotgunners

paper trellis
#

Is there anywhere to check to what degree the collateral stat affects suppression?

tall torrent
#

Don’t bother checking

#

If collateral doesn’t impact stagger notably, it’s pure dump

paper trellis
#

I wonder why fatshark put it on recon lasgun then

#

Since it functionally has no stagger

crude fiber
#

Giving it stopping power would be too good I guess

paper trellis
#

Well it’s a multiplier. 0 x 1.2 is still 0

I want to switch off of Autogun and I'm thinking of the Helbore Lasgun. What is the difference between the marks?

I like 5 cause it's kind of the middleground charge time but still has good charged damage

what range wep should I use for killing special/elite from afar

Just a build for levelling my Veteran. Shout as to not die, melee is Shock Maul, Ranged is just something to pop essential grapes

I meant like the perk tree

So, avoiding that melee hit for overwatch is wild. almost went the whole match. But making it to the almost end of the match then dodging off an edge , not getting pulled up, then revived in a crazy horde to get whacked and fail is depressing.raging

@tall torrent coming back to vet and looking for a build that you use, but when I do from: Veteran, it lists 2783 pages of your posts; so i'm just gonna ask you, any fun builds you've been using for higher havocs?

What's wrong with the sights on the lazgun?

somber axle
# regal vector not at all, at this point im at a loss lol

Infiltrate ability with Low Profile and On Overwatch talents, CD reduction perks on all curios, grab a CD stim ASAP. Infiltrate stealth is 8 sec on a 45 sec CD. Low Profile is 10 sec duration after stealth breaks. On Overwatch gives you 2 charges and increases the CD to 1 min recharge but lets you keep up to 2 Infiltrate charges ready. If you time out the Infiltrate and Low Profiles that's 8 + 8 + 10 + 10 = 36 seconds of being ignored by enemies. Infiltrate also restores toughness back to full on use too. You can use Infiltrate and Low Profile to shift aggro off of you during fights and during the Low Profile buff as long as you're sticking close to the team enemies will attack them instead. Keep in mind that it's -90% reduced threat so if you and a team member have both attacked something you can shoot/stab it and never get noticed but if no one else has attacked that thing then it will aggro onto you. If things get extra silly pop the CD stim for more Infiltrate/Low Profile uptime and remember that the penance only counts HP damage as failing it so getting hit once isn't a loss

regal vector
#

When i was running it for a bit i only used it for specialists/ elites so once i highlighted them the sights didnt bother me too bad

somber axle
#

Oh also make sure to grab Tactical Awareness too for the -6 sec on ability CD per special kill

#

That'll help Infiltrate/Low Profile uptime

bitter turtle
#

Don't forget 3x ability cdr on curio

somber axle
#

You sorta have to play a little cowardly but tbh you can also get it done on something like a Low Intensity Malice where no one cares

bitter turtle
#

Takes a good 7 seconds off

tall torrent
#

3x toughness and 3x CDR basically required for curios in havoc

somber axle
#

Yeah that too!

cyan verge
# tall torrent

is there ANY situation, in which you would ever take kraks in havoc

somber axle
#

CDR perks on curios makes a huge difference for Infiltrate especially when you grab On Overwatch for the extra charge

red laurel
#

Why would you want to do Krak?

cyan verge
#

I don't

#

but I was curious

bitter turtle
#

If you are already prepared for melee elite ambushes

#

Probably only would be a good idea in a premade

cyan verge
#

I would like to hope everyone is prepared for crusher ambushes...

foggy cloak
uncut pebble
#

That's it.

cyan verge
#

I would like to hope if you are doing high havoc you can pretty much solo any number of crushers if they are the only enemy you are dealing with... obviously mixed hordes are a different thing but still

red laurel
#

Does Havoc raise the health of enemies, or is it Damnation breakpoints?

bitter turtle
tall torrent
tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

It's about the fact that they spawn them in scripted scenarios often

cyan verge
#

oh is that so

bitter turtle
#

Like when you are engaging from the front

red laurel
#

So in Havoc you throw breakpoint knowledge into the bin?

chilly crescent
#

Why are shredder grenades better than krak? Just the aoe vs single targets?

bitter turtle
#

So u have 20 elites and a horde coming in both directions

red laurel
#

Versatility

tall torrent
#

You just build for new breakpoints

cyan verge
#

I honestly have not been able to figure out how the game spawns enemies, it feels like it just does certain ones as a theme for like a chunk of the level, then it sometimes swaps to something else

regal vector
red laurel
bitter turtle
#

They spawn bosses in a lot of the same locations

chilly crescent
#

That's true

tall torrent
cyan verge
#

I guess the idea is instead of building for oneshots, you build for 2-shots

#

or 3-shots

#

or whatever

#

as best as you can get

bitter turtle
#

I think that's why we don't have all the maps for havoc

cyan verge
#

yeah

red laurel
#

So it's not even that much higher from Damnation

bitter turtle
#

They probably script in specific triggers for each map

cyan verge
red laurel
#

Is the director at least in Gatling mode?

bitter turtle
#

If you fight a horde with elites

#

Would you rather kill the entire horde and ragers/maulers and knockdown the crushers

#

Or kill a couple of crushers/bulwarks

#

First one is shredder second one is krak

cyan verge
#

we are talking about havoc here so kraks are less valuable because there's so many more carapace targets that like you're not really gonna make a very big dent in their numbers if it even kills(?), whereas shredders comparatively kill just about everything and do 'some' carapace damage anyway

#

oh and cuz shredders have DoT it works on hardened better

regal vector
#

i thought about something even cheesier when i was hanging off that edge. If i died by falling and wasnt revived or was revived at the very end would that complete penance

tall torrent
red laurel
#

Shredders also have a ton of AoE stagger

cyan verge

wouldn't want any spoilers for havoc 40

red laurel
#

Nah, I'm content with Auric Maelstroms for now. 120 hours of Darktide is a little too soon to try Havoc

yes and shredders also stagger 2 deth

Good synergy with zealot flamer too btw

Anything that didn't die to the bleed dies to the fire afterwards

is that for all grenades???

Nope

#

Yes

somber axle
#

It's very funny

WHY is that like that

#

Why do you think i shill grenade with infil lol

cyan verge
#

actually it sorta makes sense kind of like, oh let me just... leave this grenade here, as opposed to, yelling GRENADE OUT and throwin that thing at the nearest gunner's skull, but

somber axle
#

Infil and Shredders can make some very fun plays when things get wild

that's so weird

I've made space for pushes

By popping infil

@tall torrent which laspistol you prefer of the two marks? (Haven't used in forever, but I do remember loving it when I used it)

cyan verge

MK2 is just more enjoyable to shoot as well

foggy cloak
#

Copy, ty for the input!

thick needle
#

Is Flak/Carapace good perks for the mk4

cyan verge

some lasguns and the mk X kinda feel like their fire rate is a little too slow, like you fire and you have to wait a full second to shoot again and it's like what's the hold up here

cyan verge
thick needle
#

ye

cyan verge
#

unless, you REALLY want to kill scab ragers and nothing else basically

#

then flak/carapace

red laurel
#

I just put Carapace Unyielding, but I'm a Zealot Main, so...

#

Aren't Scab Ragers Maniac too?

um, well, sorta I guess

#

I guess it's the difference between "I am hopped up on combat drugs and don't feel pain" and, unyielding is like "I am very large, and don't feel pain"

red laurel
#

So you mean to say that Scab Ragers are simply psychopaths?

cyan verge
#

dreg ragers are psychopaths

#

scab ragers are the armor men

tall torrent
#

I mean to say you're not making sense

bitter turtle
#

Scab ragers are more chill confirmed

red laurel
#

Dreg Ragers are maniacs. Scab Ragers are psychopaths with armor

cyan verge
#

um

#

I mean... I guess, kind of

red laurel
cyan verge
#

yes it almost seems like it should be the other way around because in like english parlance a 'dreg' could mean the 'dregs' of the moebian militia/army, aka the washout traitors, and the scabs could be just like anything, but I guess the dregs are the 'dregs' of the hive city ganger-cultists, and the scabs are the... scabs of the moebian traitor forces

bitter turtle
#

mainly strikebreakers

#

so

cyan verge
#

true...

bitter turtle
#

that might be the intent

cyan verge
#

you'd think they coulda come up with better words than two four letter things that sound basically the same

#

is all

thick needle
#

BTW does the Autogun actually stack Onslaught or was that a bit

cyan verge
#

that notion is really funny, like oh the scabs are rioting again (the heretics have a philosophical disagreement on the legitimacy of the emperor aka want to shoot us all)

bitter turtle
#

no its not worth it

red laurel
#

Why though? Is it not a good damage modifier what with the RoF of it?

bitter turtle
#

when there is exactly 2 melee weapons on vet that can't kill crusher

tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

well

red laurel
#

What about builds that naturally get to Onslaught then?

bitter turtle
#

depends if you count 2 revving as ac ceptable

bitter turtle
#

because its so o ut of the way

#

its not connected to anything you would normally take

#

which only compounds the problem

cyan verge
#

stop thinking about onslaught

#

stop

#

forget about it

bitter turtle
#

like think about it

#

if you went right

#

you are probably gettin gmelee talents

tall torrent
# red laurel What about builds that naturally get to Onslaught then?

Ok so the thought process goes like this

Do you have a strong anti-armor melee weapon?
Yes -> no onslaught
No -> Do you want to use a strong anti-armor melee weapon but it costs talent points to be optimal?
Yes -> spend those points on melee, don’t run onslaught
No -> Do you really want to magdump crushers with your gun?
Yes, with Vraks V / Recon XII -> run onslaught
Yes, but no specific ranged weapon in mind -> Boltgun + executioner’s stance
No -> what are you doing?

red laurel
#

Wasn't a build shared here earlier with Combat Specialist?

bitter turtle
#

yes*

#

but think about it

#

again, if you go right

#

you are getting melee talents

#

onslaught, however

#

is not connected to any of them lol

Is Brittleness only good to delete Crushers?

cyan verge
#

it's not good

bitter turtle
#

in the context of onslaught, yeah it basically only matters vs crushers

cyan verge
#

brittleness is bad to delete crushers

tall torrent
red laurel
#

Thought it's just a Rending type debuff

tall torrent
#

It is

bitter turtle
#

the problem isnt th at rending/brittleness is bad

#

the problem is you're gonna kill whatever you're stacking it on

#

by the time it becomes meaningful

#

unless its a crusher

paper trellis
cyan verge
#

out of curiosity, does brittleness interact with hardened skin in any meaningful way

bitter turtle
tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

and revs are animation locking you

#

in terms of speed its ok but you need to stand still for the whole thing

#

so

tall torrent
#

Maximum risk for minimal reward

bitter turtle
#

practically speaking, its not good

cyan verge
#

and it's the chainsword so why would you want to use it

paper trellis
#

Ahh that’s fair

tall torrent
#

Cadia fell because they were using chainswords instead of combat axes

cyan verge
#

the fools

#

they should have all been ninja sliding across the battlefield, duelling sword in hand

#

anyway the moral of the story is onslaught is bad

bitter turtle
#

btu reddit told me its the best build in the game

cyan verge
#

reddit is a great source of misinformation

#

it's like the great library of anti-alexandria

faint beacon
#

They will look you

#

Dead In the fucking eyes

#

0 irony

#

And say competitive urge is 100% good

#

That and passing out on iron will

#

Veteran 101: never pass on Iron will

bitter turtle
#

actually

#

@tall torrent

#

im unironically thinking

#

is iron will worth it

#

cus its really just for gunners

#

and well

#

you know

#

havoc 40 gunners WhenLifeGetsAtNier

hollow ibex
#

Iron will is never worth it. Just don’t get hit 🤷‍♂️

serene bough
#

true

bitter turtle
#

ur right

cyan verge
#

interesting point

#

you are kinda right

cyan verge
#

even the best players get netted once in a while...

bitter turtle
#

yeah this isnt a tee hee never get hit thing

#

more that im wondering how much time it actually buys you

#

if you're being shot at

wind grotto
#

it's still good for taking chip damage especially through gold toughness

serene bough
#

i prefer iron will for stray melee hits

queen fox
#

Iron wills value is inversely connected to your skill level
High skill, low value
Low skill, low value

bitter turtle
#

you dont take full dmg on the first hit anyway

#

so all it does is reduce the dmg of the 2nd hit

#

but you really dont wanna get hit that 2nd time anyway

#

so is some dmg reduction when you get hit twice worth a point?

cyan verge
#

it's more like in havoc your toughness is going to be obliterated anyway if you make a mistake and iron will is likely not going to save you

faint beacon
#

It significantly bloats VOCs toughness and the toughness you have above 75%

#

Passing on it

bitter turtle
#

when 3 poxwalkers obliterated me from full hp at the end of archivum sycorax when they hit all at time same time KEKW_ogryn

faint beacon
#

Will get you killed even quicker

cyan verge
#

that is true I suppose?

bitter turtle
#

yea thats the only thing

#

the synergy with chorus

faint beacon
#

Psyker levels of squishiness

bitter turtle
#

but i feel like

#

when chorus happens

#

its like go time either way

faint beacon
#

So no don’t pass on Iron Will

queen fox
bitter turtle
#

like we're not usually getting killed during chorus

#

we doing the killing

serene bough
#

in my build, i dont really have any other point id rather invest in

red laurel
#

Are any of these rolls fine?

serene bough
#

so ill take iron will anyways

bitter turtle
#

yea i mean

cyan verge
bitter turtle
#

im still taking it rn

#

i just starte d thinking if it actually is that good

serene bough
#

but idk, considering i have 98HP ill keep as much TDR as i can

bitter turtle
#

after seeing ppl in psyker chat talk about how TDR is useless

red laurel
#

Why is Mobility important on Recon Lasgun?

bitter turtle
#

in havoc 40

cyan verge
#

it's not

#

but, look

terse idol
#

Isn't uhhh

cyan verge
#

the reason why you take collateral 60 on recons is because 80 does not meaningfully help you stagger

terse idol
#

Collateral kinda useless?

cyan verge
#

so why not take some extra mobility

terse idol
#

Oh

bitter turtle
#

collateral and stability are both useless

#

just dump one of them

cyan verge
#

if you literally look at the gun it's like oh

#

that's somewhat. unimpressive

#

that really seems like it might not be very strong

#

here's a bolter just for comparison

bitter turtle
#

you know

#

teh shitty thing tho

#

is havoc is so sweaty rn

#

that i dont really wanna test anything

bitter turtle
#

like that iron will idea

red laurel
#

Suggestions?

bitter turtle
#

lol

#

its like

#

if im wrong

#

then im trolling my team

cyan verge
#

yeah

bitter turtle
#

and i cant even test stuff in psyk

cyan verge
#

it's unfortunate

bitter turtle
#

so they dont both with one with the warp and stuff

#

and i agree

#

honestly

#

ive seen psykers get literally 1 shot by shotgunners

#

doesnt feel like there's a point

#

in trying to mitigate that

#

just dont get hit

cyan verge
red laurel
#

My Curios are too messed up, all I have in the way of Curios is 3 Toughness, 3 Stam Regen perks

terse idol
#

Is everyone inching around every corner

hollow bane
#

whats the most meta build and weapons for vet rn?

bitter turtle
#

you dont advance on big waves of enemies unless you have chorus or bubble

cyan verge
bitter turtle
#

and yes

#

you are careful constantly

terse idol
red laurel
#

Is there any good Exec. Stance upgrade?

hollow bane
cyan verge
#

oh

#

well then

terse idol
bitter turtle
red laurel
bitter turtle
#

i think most would say its not meta though

cyan verge
# tall torrent

right image with laspistol maybe would be good and duelling sword I guess

hollow bane
bitter turtle
#

ive cleared 40 with it multiple times while being top dmg

#

is that viable

hollow bane
#

yes

bitter turtle
red laurel
#

If you are asking then my bet is you are not at 40 KEKW_ogryn

bitter turtle
#

tbh

#

i dont suggest it unless you already played infil a lot

#

i have been playing infil since the class update

#

i imagine if you pick it up now you might end up trolling

cyan verge
#

what tier are you at

hollow bane
#

haven't even done the malestrom yet, just returned to game after few months

cyan verge
#

ah.

hollow bane
cyan verge
#

don't bring infiltrate then

bitter turtle
#

yeah just play voc then imo

hollow bane
#

what weapons?

bitter turtle
#

plasma/recon/laspistol is what ive seen the most

#

as for melee

#

i have literally only seen ds4

#

on every class

#

that isnt ogryn

#

lmao

#

rashad should be fine though

hollow bane
#

ds was the only thing i was using when it got put on vet

bitter turtle
#

ive played it a lower than 40 (35+) but not at 40

#

ilas is good if you dont bring it to pus-hardened modifier

#

do not bring it to that modifier or you will cry

hollow bane
trim steppe
#

Rocked Rashad on a 35, everyone else was using DS lol

stable shoal
#

Anyone wanna help me make a laspistol dueling sword build for veteran

bitter turtle
#

for what

#

havoc or auric?

stable shoal
#

I’m quite new just got my veteran to 30 and those are my 2 weapons I’ve been running

shell spire
#

Anyone know if there are specific builds for unlocking penance cosmetics

bitter turtle
#

ok

#

ill send it to you

stable shoal
bitter turtle
#

if you feel like you're confident with ammo

#

you can path through close & kill instead of survivalist

#

and pick up agile engagement (+25% dmg to your melee/range weapon when you kill with the other one)

pastel pumice
#

W builds, thank you

#

Will try out later

cyan verge
#

he's probably trying to do on overwatch or something

trim steppe
#

Yeah but like what does he want to do

cyan verge
#

right?

#

dunno

shell spire
#

Yeah that and like I dont have anything super viable for infiltrate supression and overrall gun supression and am not sure if one counts for the other

bitter turtle
#

well

#

i just posted an infiltrate build

#

lol

shell spire
#

Yeah I yoinked it and am gonna try it out tomorrow

cyan verge
#

sigh

#

even though infiltrate exists there is no magic pill to win that, you just have to do it

#

good luck

shell spire
#

Yeah I reckon I'll manage

cyan verge
#

me personally I did it solo with bots on consignment yard, there's a guaranteed boss at the end but if you take kraks you can just toss and blow him up before he even reaches you

#

there's probably better maps...

shell spire
#

It's just a slightly overwhelming jump from vermintide I just built one build at a time but here I can juggle all the perks

hollow bane
cyan verge
#

focus target is good too but weapon specialist is very very very good

#

you're not looking at the squad leader build are you

#

on gameslantern

trim steppe
#

For on overwatch take voice of command and keep your toughness up, if you don't take HP damage your penance attempt is still rolling. If you can find some nice peeps to carry you through a twins mission it's over really fast but it might be less of logistical challenge if you just do it normal and focus on playing defensively.

#

Honestly doing On Overwatch made me better at the game by teaching me how to play and melee better

cyan verge
#

the only thing about twins is you get swarmed constantly with melee dudes in twins at the end

hollow bane
shell spire
#

Yeah I'm like pretty ok at the game, nothing magical but I can handle stuff just was wondering if anyone got any super specific builds for just tackling them few hardest penances

cyan verge
#

you were just told

trim steppe
shell spire
#

Yeah I know I was coming around to thanking for the advice

somber axle
#

Weapon Specialist + Always Prepared and Double Barrel Shotgun is probably the easiest way to earn Make Every Shot Count

somber axle
#

Any pellet fired hitting anything at all counts as a hit iirc

cyan verge
#

yeah

torpid grotto
#

Hello veteran chat does anyone know exactly how much toughness to teammates voc restores? Flat amount or always a %?

cyan verge
#

that's why DON'T even TRY 'make every shot count' on anything but a shotgun

shell spire
#

Aight shotgun it is

cyan verge
trim steppe
#

Shoot down a crowded corridor a few times and yours golden

#

But yeah DB is better

cyan verge
#

I personally did not have any luck with the revolver

shell spire
#

Im a bolt pistol guy personally

cyan verge
#

well the idea is

#

you don't miss ever

earnest dew
#

I did both on overwatch and make it count on revolver while helping a friend with an auric maelstrom un.

cyan verge
#

so, you pick a shotgun because it has extremely permissive 'that hit' rules

torpid grotto
cyan verge
shell spire
#

Yeah I got a decent shotgun in there too and like to use it too

trim steppe
earnest dew
cyan verge
#

well, you have no evidence so I am just going to not believe you

shell spire
#

Helps me keep hordes at bay if I need to clear something solo and bonks real nice

hollow bane
earnest dew
#

Damn, if powerDI still worked and I saved the game.

cyan verge
#

you didn't even take a screenshot?

earnest dew
#

Didn't think to take too lol. I was like "neat" maybe I have it somewhere.

bitter turtle
#

deadshot is really good for laspistol

#

the hipfire is already excellent

pseudo fiber
#

I hate the mk10 las pistol!

bitter turtle
#

so you can hipfire any trash things

pseudo fiber
#

It feels so bad

bitter turtle
#

and then ads and actrivate deadshot when you need to down something tougher

earnest dew
#

It had to scrum through like 300 images.

hollow bane
bitter turtle
#

deadshot doesnt work with plasma

hollow bane
cyan verge
bitter turtle
#

Plasma is a different build entirely

#

And I'm not a good person to ask bc I don't like it and rarely use it

#

Check pin for any builds for plas maybe

cyan verge
#

sorta like the lasgun VII

#

you wanna plink away but it has this bizarrely low fire rate

#

which I think only feels weird because with real firearms, right, just being a heavy calibre doesn't necessarily mean it has an artificially low fire rate, like the receiver is going to chamber rounds as fast as it mechanically can

#

... I guess these are las weapons

tiny valve
#

Guys would you recommend the spearhead boltgun? I have the bolt pistol and I want to try the spearhead but I can only get it through the armoury requisition things and I don't want to waste 10k dockets if I don't like it.

cyan verge
#

but my point is like, normally you would expect the challenge would be in just learning to deal with recoil

#

like the AK in CS or something

cyan verge
#

if you can't afford 10k dockets though

#

you should probably play more

keen lagoon
#

Saw people on Reddit shittalking the bolt pistol but I tried it on my greatsword psyker build and it was good

cyan verge
#

... I legitimately cannot imagine why

#

don't listen to reddit is the takeaway here

hollow bane
cyan verge
#

just a happy coincidence then I suppose

tiny valve
# cyan verge you should probably play more

I mean I started recently and I have 190k currently. Coincidentally I spent 190k recently on a new outfit cos penance grinding was going too slowly to get good stuff when I was still new, I was tired of wearing crappy stuff and I had just got 350k from that cry havoc event.

cyan verge
#

ouf

#

well 190k is like

#

fine

#

you're sittin okay there

tiny valve
#

yeah it's probably nothing major but it's enough

cyan verge
#

anyway if you just want to try a weapon you don't need to roll for like perfect stats or anything

#

it's safe to just buy greys from the thing

#

keep an eye out for perfect rolls in the shop though

tiny valve
#

I'll go look again in a sec I'm just starting an ogryn character

cyan verge
#

oh you don't have to now but

#

just in general

#

whenever you run past the shop just step in and look since it resets every hour and it'll save you a lot of time if

#

you can find something with good power level

#

though

#

that is important

tiny valve
#

Yeah I know I checked earlier but didn't see anything

#

I also checked MOrrows

cyan verge
#

if you shop for perfect weapons at like low levels

#

it'll be junk low level crap with like 90 power

#

and then it's like oof do you really want to empower the, 41 times

tiny valve
#

I'm level 24 so it's all around 400

cyan verge
#

yeah 300+ is like, good

tiny valve
#

My infantry autogun is 310 I think but its golden

cyan verge
#

rarity doesn't mean much early on

#

since it's just 'some blessings' and 'some perks'

#

though, I guess it's not nothing

#

if it has perfect stats then that'll be a good weapon to focus on

tiny valve
#

Currently it has things like 20% sprint efficiency and +35% damage when shooting enemies in the back

#

I'll probably move away from it eventually when I find something better but I still quite like it

vague pier
#

What’s the best curios to run on havoc when I’m on 30 or higher I drop to 98 hp and 155 shield

cyan verge
#

dunno

#

I have heard recommended like 1 toughness 2HP

#

as for perks like, I dunno, combat ability regen, toughness, stamina/sprint/corruption resist

vague pier
#

Yeah I run 3x tough

#

All with tough, combat regen, stam regen

cyan verge
#

I honestly don't know what the 'best' choice is since unlike every other difficulty if you make a mistake you just like die, it's not oh, I could have maybe lived if my curios were made correctly

#

and your toughness/HP is crunched so much you're not gonna get a huge amount of value either way and idk if there's even any breakpoints you can hit to not die from any particular thing

vague pier
#

Yeah I’ve seen someone live after being box bombed

cyan verge
#

what class, I would guess zealot

vague pier
#

Yeah it’s nuts how much you get hit by 30 plush

#

Vet

cyan verge
#

wow

#

with VoC I guess

#

and iron will

vague pier
#

Yeah we both had oversheild and I died and he lived

cyan verge
#

oh, I see

#

maybe he had HP then

vague pier
#

Yeah I’m thinking maybe changing one stam to hp to see if that helps

cyan verge
#

you use numeric hud right

#

were you able to catch how much HP he had

#

someone, smarter, than me, could probably just tell you what the breakpoint is, but idk that stuff

vague pier
#

I’m console sadly

cyan verge
#

oh...

#

rip in peace

vague pier
#

Yeah I’ll be on pc one day

cyan verge
#

good

#

I have like

#

I'm just gonna say this PC players basically get to cheat

#

here's my mod list which is full of cheats

vague pier
#

I can’t wait to join in

cyan verge
#

like what if you just knew where every pickup nearby was

#

and you knew what it was even through walls

#

what if your flashlight was mondo powerful for no reason

#

I don't feel bad about it though

tribal tangle
#

anyone have a good havoc build?

cyan verge
#

no

tribal tangle
#

ok

cyan verge
#

no one has any good havoc buildsk

cyan verge
#

maybe try the search function

tribal tangle
#

nah just tell me

crisp oak
#

Yikes, just died in a havok 25 before leaving the elevator

#

Sniper vent purge is a bitch lol

pastel yew
#

did they change regular auric+ gunners?

#

gunners/shotgunners/reapers

#

semi recently

#

I've been eating major damage and although I'm giga washed from taking a long break it feels steep

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

what does this mean by stun

#

as in you can no longer stun them while firing?

austere mica
#

Also changed gunner and shotgunners hitmass

#

They are much harder to cleave

#

And they increased gunner effective range

pastel yew
#

and spawns

#

have those changed

#

as since coming back I feel I'm seeing way way more tox bombers and snipers in particular

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

snipers although not a threat were basically non existent

tall torrent
#

Basically ranged enemies cannot stunlock you anymore

pastel yew
#

now you can get multiple per encounter

#

sort of a lame change, especially since I cant blame it for me losing more >>>:(

#

guess I'm just 100% washed up

#

need to play more

cyan verge
#

them removing reaper/shotgun knockback is honestly one of the best changes they made this update

pastel yew
#

I dunno like

pastel yew
#

maybe the reaper knockback but

#

I feel like shotgunners having no knockback is gonna massively increase the likelyhood multiple of them hit you at once

cyan verge
#

that's an interesting way to look at it, but I can live with that

#

just don't throw me around like a pinball pls

#

I am a human been

soft trellis
#

How are the end stats on this plasma?

cyan verge
#

bad

#

@tired egret

#

you could probably go like 70 thermal 70 charge or the other way but I think you want at least 69 thermal so you can hit the correct breakpoint

pastel yew
soft trellis
#

Someone said that in the zealot chat, so good to know that wasn't a joke lol

pastel yew
#

how many do you get off

cyan verge
#

no it wasn't a joke

#

no one jokes around here

#

we just tell the truth

soft trellis
#

Uhuh

#

idk how true that is cuz I tend to stay in the zealot chat lol

cyan verge
#

idk anything about those crazy people

#

okay I look in there and there's a gif of venom or something from spiderman, idk what the heck those guys are up to

pastel yew
#

go into psyk and spam left click and see how many you can get off at 60

#

or wait

#

just read the stat whats the number

#

also this stat is just

#

fuckin incorrect by the way

#

it says .18 heat generation but the first only generats .12

soft trellis
#

Yeah I was gonna say "8 shots...?"

cyan verge
#

hahaha

#

yeah RIP

pastel yew
#

when I shoot it

#

I get off 8 shots

#

literally in the psyk now

#

testing it

cyan verge
#

BASICALLY, yes your plasma gun is junk

pastel yew
#

I mean

soft trellis
#

It's not that I don't believe you, it's that 18% heat per shot wouldn't add up to 8 shots lol

pastel yew
#

test fire it to see first

soft trellis
pastel yew
#

how many shots does yours get at 30%?

#

maybe the heat gen is just bugged

soft trellis
pastel yew
#

oh

#

oh well

cyan verge
#

don't buy it then

pastel yew
#

I got no money to waste n test this

#

yea

#

dont buy

pseudo fiber
#

There's a mod that let's you spawn weapon in the meat grinder

my psyker has 2 perfect end roll recons lol

#

ive not heard of the mod if so
