I read Bolt Pistol dump is collat how we feelin bout this ones potential
How do you optimize shock maul? It always feels a little weak but I’m fairly certain it’s user error
Do u have skullcrusher on it
Real quick what melee weapon would you reccomend
Can someone help?
No
Yea that’s why
Ahh
anyone know a cool shredder auto pistol build?
its saying you when playing in party not able to undertake havoc assignment
Just found out Veteran is invulnerable to pox gas if Catch a Breath is on 
my dude
Not true
Pox gas does way more damage than CaB’s regen rate
help
thats not the issue. I am getting this message
Rashad combat 🪓
but its saying you when playing in party not able to undertake havoc assignment
\
Bro help
Power sword if you're ok with being slower
Mk 1 standard issue shovel
then someone didn't finish the requirement for dukane
that's their problem not yours
Smoke Grenade and Close and Kill 
what am i supposed to do now?
Rashad? I might be a mong but what actually is it , an axe
find other people
In auric it's perfectly playable
Combat axe
Gives you real fireman energy
That's not a high bar to clear
No that would by Achlys
Counter point, por que no los dos
Better than krak meme anyway
Hold the phone~!
They already bugfixed and buffed them to being good
Smokes need a major buff....or rewo-
If you think psyker dome is good its the same shit
Wait, when?
Any build with Stealth can do that
Except it doesn't go down in 6 seconds in havoc 40
No, its never ogre
After 8 million dockets
Smoke is still too weak. I would say it needs a larger radius for smoke to be good
Only now I noticed I got to the tier of Iron Will. What should I replace with it?
It neuters half the specialists and makes you immune to gunners, what else do you want
From a regenerating utility blitz
I want it to do damage
I play smoke, have been since Patch 13. Love the 10% melee damage. But they need help.
Do you do havoc
I was thinking more box
Faster smoke deployment, larger radius
If you do 35+ havoc you will understand why it's useful
And it should do Friendly Fire. Coded especially for this
Shredder is still best though
Throw box, engulf smoke that breaks enemy ai like zealot stealth
No fair. I have not reached it yet. No Internet.
Heck even in 20s the gunners are annoying
Still, I cannot in good faith recommend it to anyone.
Yeah when you reach the mode where gunners will literally kill you 50m away for peeking
^
You will understand why being immune to gunners for 15 /30 sec is good
And crushers ignore wounds
Dome regularly goes down in 6 seconds (minimum time)
Since it's eating so much gunfire
Dodge crit chance maybe
Only node I see there than can be moved at all
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?
The point of dome/smoke is to create space because you're pinned down by 30 gunners
So you should be deploying it preemptively
I think they should deploy even slower
and i think theyr e good even outside havoc
They are but I concede they aren't necessary or particularly useful if you're already a god gamer that dodge slides everywhere
Thats how we get purge vent modifier
But what is necessary, etc
who hurt you
Varies on luck tbh
Sometimes you get screwed (tox gas, pus hardened, goo, fading light)
I wanna push it even more
But the matchmaking is a chore
At least people don't dare to leave
Showing the value of smokes again? Tbf you use actual evidence and are quite convincing
I thought it was 71 for the charge rate and 69 heat management. Looks like the one I have
Kraks would be more valuable if it didn’t take nearly 2 seconds for them to arm
Once I have my krak penance done I’m phasing them out of my builds
500 enemies doesn't sound that long
I would say early 20s is where it's harder than auric
30s is when teamwork needs to be on point
Hard to drag a body over the finish line at that point
Problem is that things die before the kraks finally go off
I think what smokes need is a higher stagger value (to be able to stagger ragers & maulers)
you should regen toughness in smoke i think
Is Born Leader a good Talent?
marijuana grenades
That would be pretty neat. Could be justified as you having a moment to recenter and get back into the fight with a clear head
Did it survive empowerment?
yeah, would also make it useful for situations without shooters
not really good
but nothing on that line is good
so pick your poison
Tho honestly I do think any enemy in smokes should be highlighted as long as they are in it
For the Emperor does not sound bad
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
What makes you say that? A consistent regen of toughness for the party, even if small does help with chip damage
More Executioner's Stance procs 
Suppression is probably the most practical yes, but I would say shield regen is bad
in aurics it is not needed and in havocs its not enough to matter, your toughness ios etiher at 100% or 0% lol
its just incredibly small
the only point of it is that shout gives a bit more toughness to your team
Tbf it has a very high uptime if you are running voc. Not so much the other two abilities
which one is born leader again
Your party gets a fraction of any toughness you regen
oh that one
Like 22 extra in havoc
Going from 50 to 72
It’s ok
I’m pretty sure it includes the toughness restored by shout, but could be mistaken
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
I do generally agree that the suppression bonus is the most practical tho. Suppression is a rather strong cc
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
Does KTHD notably help
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
I do realize 1 thing with suppression
It makes ranged enemies shoot way less accurately
But it doesn’t last very long
yea
but even a fraction of a second helps
given how fucking vicious the gunfire gets
id consider FTE but its useless for infiltrate
since it activates on stealth rather than on stealth break
Yes
Tbf I’m fairly certain you can suppress melee units too since infiltration suppresses anything short of a monstrosity
you wont be suppressing any melee units that matter either way
And yeah, fte is terrible with infiltrate
they are suppression immune after all
no, suppression does not work on most enemies
infiltrate has a separate stagger effect that's not written
@bitter turtle look at their accuracy loss
It just doesn’t last very long
enough for someone caught out to slide into cover at least
if only you could suppress shotgunners
Is there anywhere to check to what degree the collateral stat affects suppression?
I wonder why fatshark put it on recon lasgun then
Since it functionally has no stagger
Giving it stopping power would be too good I guess
Well it’s a multiplier. 0 x 1.2 is still 0
Same reason they put stability on it
To fuck with the players heads?
Is Competitive Urge good?
How much does rngesus love you?
No
What is good then?
Could drop rending strikes
For shouty if you dont have it
What's Shouty?
What builds do yall like for the boltgun?
Screenshot includes VoC 
I thought Shouty was what the Ogryn called the Zealot 😉
Does Lethal Proximity on Bolt Pistol affect all explosion aoe on your chara or just the shot?
I want to switch off of Autogun and I'm thinking of the Helbore Lasgun. What is the difference between the marks?
Time to charge the shot and how much damage a charged shot does
I like 5 cause it's kind of the middleground charge time but still has good charged damage
Keystone
Its the node below whats in your screenshot (after the extra ogryn damage node)
What are you trying to make by the way?
what range wep should I use for killing special/elite from afar
if there any
or close range gun is fine too ig
Just a build for levelling my Veteran. Shout as to not die, melee is Shock Maul, Ranged is just something to pop essential grapes
Just the shot guessing by how its the weapon mastery not character mastery
I am a strong advocate of using the bolt pistol as a quick draw revolver
No
DAmn
All explosions
That makes literally no sense
oh yeah my grenade build boutta go dummy
I thought that perks in weapon mastery only affected that weapon type?
Usually, yes
Ah yeah. How do you operate the Helbore Lasgun? As in how do you charge it and stuff
This makes even less sense
Hold mouse 1
Hold down the trigger
just hold to fire, its a good ads weapon

headhunter keystone or whatever its called on mk v from distance can be nutsss
I installed the game last week whats headhunter keystone?
Left side veteran keystone is called marksman’s focus
Very weakspot hit centric
Ohh right
vraks 5 or plasma?
Yes I know that one
Oh no the iron sights on the Helbore are god awful
I'm going for middle keystone one then about marking targets
Yea
So I shall switch
I just don't like ironsights in general on most guns icl, unfortunately for somereason I hate the scope on the lasgun even more.
coughs at weapon customization mod
sneezes in console player
(It’s very unstable)
Link?
Surely we'll get the BG3 mod support on console treatment for yall soon
did it break recently or sumn?>
It’s always been unstable
Causes crashes more than just about any other mod
Thank you
huh weird never had trouble w it before but zamn 
what is it with people making havoc lobbies and not starting the game
Are Strength and Power the same thing
Power Sword & either Plasma Gun or Bolter
@radiant chasm
I meant like the perk tree
Take Field Improvisation
That's not specific enough for me lol
Have not seen a single psword in havoc 40
Ds4 + laspistol/recon/plasma are the three I've seen
This is what I've been running
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9db1bb3c-4a41-4124-a4a8-44cb22fa6503/auric-by-dummies
Take both demo team and demo stockpile bc grenades are one of your biggest contributions
Wait I know the Crit Recon bit but what's Laspistol doing in 40
ghost
Infernus and ghost
way better flak ADM as well
Nobody has a link to that website that just shows the perk tree you're using for havoc?
Mine is infiltrate
Still want it?
it depends on role/weapons you use
Let's see it
Scoreboard from my last clear
Before anyone claims I'm getting carried bc no voc
What settings should I put on Extended Weapon Customisation? All I want from the mod is to have something other than Iron Sights
Wat change
I'm a psyker but apparently veterans are best for havoc
No
So he's being unretired
this whole entire build is wrong on many levels
It's very old
onslaught for power sword and plasma is like
one of the choices of all time
Psyker is extremely good
Like prior to optimizing, prior to weapon updates, etc
Who the fuck told you they are not good lol
nah, psyker is the best class in the game
it is what it is
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.
@tall torrent could you tell me please?
brain burst + inferno staff + bubble
resource free anti-elite & anti-ranged
Let me rephrase. I'm a gun psyker 😵💫 there isn't much ammo in the higher level havoc runs.
voidblast staff for insane stagger
I hesitate to rate them better than zealot for havoc bc chorus is insane but both of them are lynchpins in havoc
Oh
I hate all of those things
If you don't mind embracing some cheesy tactics there's an easier way to get the penance done
Well yes gun psyker is not really a strong thing
I don't use that mod
it's really unstable
it's super strong just not for havoc lol
I have a lot of fun with it, but yes, trying to find something more optimal for the higher havoc runs and was led in this direction
Meta is different for it
not at all, at this point im at a loss lol
So I should not use Helbore Lasgun?
cope with the sights, or if u have to use that mod, just put the laspistol reflex sight on there and call it a day
@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?
Dunno how to do that
What's wrong with the sights on the lazgun?
- You want shredder nades and both demo team and stockpile for nade regen
- Onslaught is not worth the points you're spending to reach it
Just ugly?
my man 🙇
IMO its good if you can handle the iron sights pretty much everyones opinion i believe
They obscure the entire diameter of your shot
first one for plasma
second one for laspistol (if someone already has survivalist)
You guys don't just rely on the little dot in the center of the un-aimed weapon?
I run combat axe for melee because duelling sword is cringe and I hate having to use power sword
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
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
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
Don't forget 3x ability cdr on curio
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
Takes a good 7 seconds off
3x toughness and 3x CDR basically required for curios in havoc
Yeah that too!
Surgical exists
is there ANY situation, in which you would ever take kraks in havoc
CDR perks on curios makes a huge difference for Infiltrate especially when you grab On Overwatch for the extra charge
Why would you want to do Krak?
Stunlock bosses i suppose
If you are already prepared for melee elite ambushes
Probably only would be a good idea in a premade
I would like to hope everyone is prepared for crusher ambushes...
absolutely hooking me up w/ the set-up; thank you champ 
Total boss deletion.
That's it.
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
Does Havoc raise the health of enemies, or is it Damnation breakpoints?
Chorus into shredder grenades into flamer has been the solution for groups I've run with
Also run 2 toughness curios
3rd option I run health, u could run stamina if u really need it
It's not about that
Most enemies’ health are massively increased
It's about the fact that they spawn them in scripted scenarios often
oh is that so
Like when you are engaging from the front
So in Havoc you throw breakpoint knowledge into the bin?
Why are shredder grenades better than krak? Just the aoe vs single targets?
So u have 20 elites and a horde coming in both directions
Versatility
No
You just build for new breakpoints
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
damn that sounds pretty solid still gonna be shitting my pants but im gonna go for it, how about smoke grenades?
Havoc is pretty scripted
How so?
They spawn bosses in a lot of the same locations
That's true
Elite & specialist enemies have 1.5x health
Build for new breakpoints
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
I think that's why we don't have all the maps for havoc
yeah
So it's not even that much higher from Damnation
They probably script in specific triggers for each map
yeah this is definitely a thing
Is the director at least in Gatling mode?
Let me ask
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
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
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
Play it and find out 
Shredders also have a ton of AoE stagger
wouldn't want any spoilers for havoc 40
Nah, I'm content with Auric Maelstroms for now. 120 hours of Darktide is a little too soon to try Havoc
Good synergy with zealot flamer too btw
it's where you BELONG
Anything that didn't die to the bleed dies to the fire afterwards
or inferno psyker
I'd recommend against smoke grenades. If you do shredder frag grenades you can underhand throw them without breaking stealth. If you happen to get surrounded while invisible and need to make space just drop a grenade to push everything off or 2 to clear the room and everything will be gone before stealth is up
Overhand throws will break Infiltrate though
It's very funny
WHY is that like that
Why do you think i shill grenade with infil lol
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
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
Run ahead next to the pack of elites and gunner
Drop two nades
Run back
this is a bit in the weeds and unrelated to vet chat but do throwing knives break shroud
Lol
Yes (after the 0.5s stealth grace)
I don't remember 😅
wow
Oh that answers that
Silent knife throw = break stealth
Do yall prefer marksman’s focus or focus target with boltgun?
A fucking grenade = ok
Focus target
Executioners stance or voc
VoC
Both are fine in auric
never use marksman's focus
Exec let's you 1tap on body shots, voc is voc
I'm gonna do one Autogun run to get some resources. Suggestions for those 2 points?
I like Ex stance marksmans for Boltgun, but focus target is a better pick tbh
What’s about perk and blessings?
demo stockpile? wtf
take it
take it take it take it
I already have Demo Team, so ain't it overkill?
tysm
take both
What else?
Check the pins
grenade regen...
Good luck!
stockpile comes before demo team in vast majority of situations
Anything else?
@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)
Mk2
I think mk2 is vastly superior for most situations
More consistent procs
MK2 is just more enjoyable to shoot as well
Copy, ty for the input!
Is Flak/Carapace good perks for the mk4
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
if you mean the DS IV then carapace maniac probably
ye
unless, you REALLY want to kill scab ragers and nothing else basically
then flak/carapace
I just put Carapace Unyielding, but I'm a Zealot Main, so...
Aren't Scab Ragers Maniac too?
Trying to refit all my Auric builds reading this chat, I got DS4 Flak/Carapace and Plasgun Maniac/Unyielding
those are dreg ragers
flak/carapace
flak weakspot
flak core
carapace chest
So Maniac is just like Infested/Unyielding?
in what sense
what are u even talking abt
Flak carapace
That it's fancy unarmored
um, well, sorta I guess
it's affected by rending so no
Maniac is also mutants iirc

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"
So you mean to say that Scab Ragers are simply psychopaths?
Scab ragers are more chill confirmed
Dreg Ragers are maniacs. Scab Ragers are psychopaths with armor
This but with Demo Stockpile so one point leftover
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
scabs can refer to traitors in certain contexts in real l ife
mainly strikebreakers
so
true...
that might be the intent
you'd think they coulda come up with better words than two four letter things that sound basically the same
is all
BTW does the Autogun actually stack Onslaught or was that a bit
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)
it does
no its not worth it
Why though? Is it not a good damage modifier what with the RoF of it?
4 pts to get something that exists only to kill crushers with your gun
when there is exactly 2 melee weapons on vet that can't kill crusher
3 (DC sword, heavy sword, chainsword)
well
What about builds that naturally get to Onslaught then?
depends if you count 2 revving as ac ceptable
there is no such thing
because its so o ut of the way
its not connected to anything you would normally take
which only compounds the problem
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?
Wasn't a build shared here earlier with Combat Specialist?
es
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
10% aspd, desperado, etc
Is Brittleness only good to delete Crushers?
it's not good
in the context of onslaught, yeah it basically only matters vs crushers
brittleness is bad to delete crushers
It depends on your weapon’s ADM but usually Onslaught only matters for crushers
Thought it's just a Rending type debuff
It is
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
Chainsword can’t kill crusher?
out of curiosity, does brittleness interact with hardened skin in any meaningful way
with bletter you need 2 revs
Too slow & risky
and revs are animation locking you
in terms of speed its ok but you need to stand still for the whole thing
so
Maximum risk for minimal reward
practically speaking, its not good
and it's the chainsword so why would you want to use it
Ahh that’s fair
Cadia fell because they were using chainswords instead of combat axes
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
btu reddit told me its the best build in the game
reddit is a great source of misinformation
it's like the great library of anti-alexandria
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
actually
@tall torrent
im unironically thinking
is iron will worth it
cus its really just for gunners
and well
you know
havoc 40 gunners 
Iron will is never worth it. Just don’t get hit 🤷♂️
true
ur right
about this
even the best players get netted once in a while...
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
it's still good for taking chip damage especially through gold toughness
i prefer iron will for stray melee hits
Iron wills value is inversely connected to your skill level
High skill, low value
Low skill, low value

well, my reasoning is
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?
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
It significantly bloats VOCs toughness and the toughness you have above 75%
Passing on it
when 3 poxwalkers obliterated me from full hp at the end of archivum sycorax when they hit all at time same time 
Will get you killed even quicker
that is true I suppose?
Psyker levels of squishiness
So no don’t pass on Iron Will
A counterpoint is that the 2nd hit will do more health dmg than the 1st, and usually do at least 1 unless you were at gold toughness
in my build, i dont really have any other point id rather invest in
Are any of these rolls fine?
so ill take iron will anyways
yea i mean
no!!!!!!!! into the GARBAGE
but idk, considering i have 98HP ill keep as much TDR as i can
after seeing ppl in psyker chat talk about how TDR is useless
Why is Mobility important on Recon Lasgun?
in havoc 40
Isn't uhhh
the reason why you take collateral 60 on recons is because 80 does not meaningfully help you stagger
Collateral kinda useless?
so why not take some extra mobility
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
you know
teh shitty thing tho
is havoc is so sweaty rn
that i dont really wanna test anything
Y tho
like that iron will idea
Suggestions?
yeah
and i cant even test stuff in psyk
it's unfortunate
well u get deleted either way is their logic
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
maybe just take that 5% HP node so your curios are easier, shrug I dunno
My Curios are too messed up, all I have in the way of Curios is 3 Toughness, 3 Stam Regen perks
How are you supposed to like survive even
Is everyone inching around every corner
whats the most meta build and weapons for vet rn?
you dont advance on big waves of enemies unless you have chorus or bubble
what difficulty.

Is there any good Exec. Stance upgrade?
for havoc
Highlight shooters get resets
i can give you my infiltrate build :^)
What difficulty 
i think most would say its not meta though
right image with laspistol maybe would be good and duelling sword I guess
just viable for 40 🤷♂️
yes

If you are asking then my bet is you are not at 40 
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
im not
what tier are you at
haven't even done the malestrom yet, just returned to game after few months
ah.
never used it 💀
don't bring infiltrate then
yeah just play voc then imo
what weapons?
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
ds was the only thing i was using when it got put on vet
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
ok thanks for the advice
Rocked Rashad on a 35, everyone else was using DS lol
Anyone wanna help me make a laspistol dueling sword build for veteran
I’m quite new just got my veteran to 30 and those are my 2 weapons I’ve been running
Anyone know if there are specific builds for unlocking penance cosmetics
Thank you 🙏
voc with better ammo economy

voc with better damage vs ogryn/monsters

infiltrate
https://i.gyazo.com/b34a4f32b0558e36a5efa73eab7c3b0e.png
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)
What do you mean
he's probably trying to do on overwatch or something
Yeah but like what does he want to do
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
Yeah I yoinked it and am gonna try it out tomorrow
sigh
even though infiltrate exists there is no magic pill to win that, you just have to do it
good luck
Yeah I reckon I'll manage
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...
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
is focus target not worth using instead of weapon specialist?
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
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
the only thing about twins is you get swarmed constantly with melee dudes in twins at the end
no just always used focus target
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
you were just told
For the accuracy one take double barrel shotty into the train mission
Yeah I know I was coming around to thanking for the advice
Weapon Specialist + Always Prepared and Double Barrel Shotgun is probably the easiest way to earn Make Every Shot Count
Ooh nice tip
Any pellet fired hitting anything at all counts as a hit iirc
yeah
Hello veteran chat does anyone know exactly how much toughness to teammates voc restores? Flat amount or always a %?
that's why DON'T even TRY 'make every shot count' on anything but a shotgun
Aight shotgun it is
none, you need to take the extra talent ability augment next to it that adds a set amount of gold toughness to nearby allies
Or revolver
Shoot down a crowded corridor a few times and yours golden
But yeah DB is better
I personally did not have any luck with the revolver
Im a bolt pistol guy personally
I did both on overwatch and make it count on revolver while helping a friend with an auric maelstrom un.
so, you pick a shotgun because it has extremely permissive 'that hit' rules
Yes that’s what I mean. How much does that restore
that's a funny joke but no you didn't
Yeah I got a decent shotgun in there too and like to use it too
For the penance take a strong melee, just waste your shotgun ammo when you know you can't miss and when you're empty put it away and chop everything else until you win
I did.
well, you have no evidence so I am just going to not believe you
Im pretty handy with the electro mace thingy
Helps me keep hordes at bay if I need to clear something solo and bonks real nice
on the greater damage one would close quarters killzone be better than deadshot?
Damn, if powerDI still worked and I saved the game.
you didn't even take a screenshot?
Didn't think to take too lol. I was like "neat" maybe I have it somewhere.
no
deadshot is really good for laspistol
the hipfire is already excellent
I hate the mk10 las pistol!
so you can hipfire any trash things
It feels so bad
and then ads and actrivate deadshot when you need to down something tougher
Here it is. No whether you choose to believe me or not is up to you.
It had to scrum through like 300 images.
for plasma gun too?
whats best to swap it for if i wanna use plasma or should i just use las pistol
well, it doesn't have your accuracy here but you did take literally 0 damage so I guess it's probably legit
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
yeah it is a misery to use
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
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.
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
uh well yes it's great, the bolt pistol is great too, they're both great
if you can't afford 10k dockets though
you should probably play more
Saw people on Reddit shittalking the bolt pistol but I tried it on my greatsword psyker build and it was good
this isn't you is it
no
just a happy coincidence then I suppose
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.
yeah it's probably nothing major but it's enough
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
I'll go look again in a sec I'm just starting an ogryn character
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
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
I'm level 24 so it's all around 400
yeah 300+ is like, good
My infantry autogun is 310 I think but its golden
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
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
Loving the second one
What’s the best curios to run on havoc when I’m on 30 or higher I drop to 98 hp and 155 shield
dunno
I have heard recommended like 1 toughness 2HP
as for perks like, I dunno, combat ability regen, toughness, stamina/sprint/corruption resist
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
Yeah I’ve seen someone live after being box bombed
what class, I would guess zealot
Yeah we both had oversheild and I died and he lived
Yeah I’m thinking maybe changing one stam to hp to see if that helps
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
I’m console sadly
Yeah I’ll be on pc one day
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
I can’t wait to join in
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
anyone have a good havoc build?
no
ok
no one has any good havoc buildsk
maybe try the search function
nah just tell me
Yikes, just died in a havok 25 before leaving the elevator
Sniper vent purge is a bitch lol
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
Yes
Gunner stun removed
Reaper stun & pushback removed
Shotgunner pushback removed
Also changed gunner and shotgunners hitmass
They are much harder to cleave
And they increased gunner effective range
and spawns
have those changed
as since coming back I feel I'm seeing way way more tox bombers and snipers in particular
Gunners can’t stunlock u by shooting at u when you have no toughness (which prevents sprint & slide)
snipers although not a threat were basically non existent
Basically ranged enemies cannot stunlock you anymore
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
them removing reaper/shotgun knockback is honestly one of the best changes they made this update
I dunno like
this is godly too actually
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
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
How are the end stats on this plasma?
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
do me a solid, go into psykanium and fire as many uncharged shots as you can
Someone said that in the zealot chat, so good to know that wasn't a joke lol
how many do you get off
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
a plasmagun with proper thermal resist can get off 8 uncharged shots
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
Yeah I was gonna say "8 shots...?"
BASICALLY, yes your plasma gun is junk
I mean
It's not that I don't believe you, it's that 18% heat per shot wouldn't add up to 8 shots lol
test fire it to see first
I hadn't bought it
I didn't buy it... it's in my dockets shop lol
don't buy it then
There's a mod that let's you spawn weapon in the meat grinder
idk what it is about this 7pm rotation for me but I have like... 15 weapons with perfect end rolls across all of my level 30 character's dockets shops...
Maybe it got removed?
my psyker has 2 perfect end roll recons lol
ive not heard of the mod if so
I'm just broke, I only have 20k dockets rn :/
Anyway I've ran out of easy shit to do
I've always been broke tho
that shit is like
reskin of the fuckin moebian 53rd but in baby powder-puff blue
The 53rd is a reskin of the 6th stuff I'll have you know.
whatever
