unlike the other two

tall torrent
#

And better damage per shot than XII

bitter turtle
#

yeah

candid agate
#

for once the middle ground is worth using

bitter turtle
#

well

#

ever since they buffed recons

#

its alwaysx been decent enough to use

#

just ammo efficiency was not really that important in auric mael, so its strong point was just a bit irrelevant

tall torrent
#

Total base damage
XII is (180+880)x60 = 63,600
VIc is (108+636)x98 = 72,912

candid agate
#

tbh i prefer weapons that specialise, so i shouldve stated for me it is worth using

#

compromises in weaponry are boring for me

#

i like extremes

ivory rock
#

So just came back a couple days ago but this def has insane potential for my grenade build right just gotta max it so I can max out the stats

austere pine
#

i hated xiv

bitter turtle
#

cleave is gud though

dire olive
bitter turtle
#

how's that going for you

balmy flume
#

For Havoc

dire olive
#

Not as bad as I was expecting

#

Havoc having better teammates makes weapon switches much safer in general I find

bitter turtle
#

in theory i think it should be pretty good

#

i just dont know how it fares into pus hardened modifier

#

its hard to actually test it

#

since if it suggs then im trolling my team lol

#

so anything i test i have to do it in like 25~

#

but then its not a real test since that just feels like auric

dire olive
#

Also need to be locked in with the headshots so it's a bit of a skill check too

#

Doesn't have the plasma/revolver/bolter bowling ball sized hitbox

candid agate
#

@bitter turtle the VIc is great, so much damage, so much ammo, so much fun

#

never ran out the whole game i just played

manic echo
#

what stat should I get on 60

candid agate
#

mobility

bitter turtle
#

no

#

cleave damage to 60

manic echo
tall torrent
#

Mainly because the cleave damage is just bad and you’re not gonna cleave things with that in havoc

terse idol
# tall torrent Cleave damage

Would cleave damage make a difference if you run a helbore with armour bane?
That's been my loadout recently and uh, maayyybbee I'm feeling it

what are these symbol?

anyone have recon lasgun focus build?

What is the main weapon combo being used in havoc these days? And is there a forced build in auric? I'm using bolter and combat axe and just working on my skills in damnation at the moment.

#

Basic damnation

vapid surge
#

think the Meta rn is Dueling sword & Plasma

terse idol
#

We got

if not plasma probably boltor

#

Laspistol

vital wren
#

I don't think there's a forced build in Auric.

terse idol
#

Auric is whatever

vapid surge
#

Almost everything is viable tbh

terse idol
#

Havoc is forced VOC and a gun with alot of ammo

#

And magazine

#

Revolver is not good in havoc

vital wren
#

Auric builds can use breakpoints that fall apart in Havoc

terse idol
#

Well cause auric uses the same BP's for damnation

#

The requirements for havoc when the enemies get tanky over regular breakpoints is where like

#

It seems like things like infernus, ghost get way more use

pseudo fiber

Havoc 40

what blessing I should get for dueling saber

what about infantry lasgun

gotta tell these dumbdumbs to stop making cheat mods

It does make the game worse when they do that kinda stuff.

it'd be fine if they could make private servers to play in.

but as is.

i think about when fatshark (company that makes darktide) will make the decision to look at all the mods that exist (see: nexus mods) and identify (see: decide) which ones are illegal (see: not allowed in the game) @terse idol

#

Yea, but that’s more the “no recoil” part tbh

peak tree
#

The point is generally the same.

#

Mods which impact gameplay against what the developers intend. Not just like data mods to show end mission stats, or skins, etc.

Yeah they're probably not gonna do anything bout this. As stated in october on the mod server by FS LoPuS:

Kudos to you for doing the right thing here and asking the community to weigh in.

So the definitive answer is that no we won't have a strong opinion on this mod (in this case something about gas highlighting). Wether you consider it cheating or not wall hacks and other implementations are readily available outside of mods and we don't act on those either. Doing so would mean implementing anti cheat and we right now deem anti cheat implementations to be too limiting for the modding community and since darktide isnt a competitive game there are no real upsides to anti cheat.

Sure some might claim unfair advantage but really you are benefiting your whole crew so who cares really... And if you are playing Darktide for the bragging points you would still be at the mercy of the communitys opinion of the mod and not ours(Fatshark).

As for the intended behavior of this the analysis that we went back and forth on it and didn't clean up properly is probably a fair one 😉

I'll report this straight to the source of the weird behavior and try to get it sorted.

I can respect that.

what mod is it people are agro about today?

somethin super cheaty or

scroll up slightly.

pastel yew

ah those are lame

#

same with the objective solvers

tall torrent
#

Full auto is as far as I’m willing to go

#

Other stuff like recoil fix, spider sense etc are just cheesy

pastel yew
#

full auto isnt cheating imo its literally just quality of life

#

I literally couldnt play the game because of a joint issue without this mod at one point

this game has dogshit accessability

honestly as someone who doesnt get audio bugs and has good ears, I see nothing that this mod provides me

Combat shotgun is fun, but not super practical

pastel yew
#

I actually saw another vet using the laspistol in auric earlier today

#

I'm glad more people are giving the weapon some love

#

even if its just likely because its havoc meta...

vital wren
#

I did the mastery on it recently just for completion and was pleasantly surprised.

pastel yew
#

yeah I mean its super good

#

very respectable damage and ammo efficiency

#

plus there arent many ranged weapons that give you so much move speed

ancient path
#

what build would you ran with laspistol?

#

weapon spec voc? xD

tall torrent
#

Laspistol fits into any build for veteran tbh

#

Very versatile

#

Works with all 3 keystones

#

Can be played in melee hybrid, can be played in sharpshooter

ancient path
#

interesting.

paper trellis
#

Both weapon spec and shout work great for it, even has enough base damage for exe stance

ancient path
#

which pistol do you go

paper trellis
#

But Ik you hate exe stance as much as I do

paper trellis
ancient path

i see i see

Better dps, about as ammo efficient, still very accurate

and depending on your mark and finesse you may want to try +25 maniac if you want to guarantee a one shot on a dreg rager

#

otherwise flak will do well and also help with scab ragers

pastel yew
#

the increased attack speed is fun

#

pew pew pew pew

#

mk10 I'd probably only take with exec stance

paper trellis
#

It’s nice to go full ham into melee and pull it out to kill gunners before returning to rampage

pastel yew
#

and even then I'd have to do some psyk testing to see what the breakpoints are like first

ancient path
#

desperado seems like a fun blessing

#

is it only crit w/ the pistol?

#

aka would i keep the crit chance if i dodged and swapped to sword

paper trellis
#

Good question, I’m not sure

#

Hard to test

tall torrent
#

(Yes the tooltip is very wrong lol)

#

As it’s only ranged crit chance, it’s only going to work for the laspistol itself

pastel yew
#

incorrect tooltips... in my fatshark game?

#

though admittedly it seems every game that has any collection of abilities usually has a few that are wrong

wise fossil
#

Might actually be worth on gunker

pastel yew
#

honestly desperado doesnt seem that bad with a 6s timer

I had just written it off because 2s

#

yeah thats rough

I had assumed it was only against single targets

#

so if you weakspot someone else it just gets gone

the total crit chance also doesnt seem that high

#

I assume this is another one with stacks that arent shown on gameslantern as if its 5% peak, jesus

However practically it’s maybe 5-10% more, occasionally

could marks differ in speed?

afaik its just the patterns

mk 3 has the better horde clear combo

horizontal swings

heavy 1 light 2

grenade tinkerer also good

personally i really like the grenade talents

pastel yew
#

yeah though grenadier is definitely the worst of them

#

since you're not often gonna be at max with frags

pliant prawn
#

yea

pastel yew
#

think its good with kraks though as they're just giga boss damage and the usage of those is way more reserved

pliant prawn

oh i thought demo team worked for allies too

as in it could give them a grenade

unfortunately not

that'd be so killer if it did

#

outside of that its just whatever normal vet shit you like

most of the best melee stuff is right at the bottom

after stealth

#

so it doesnt really matter what you pick

#

kinda dumb but VoC is still the most point efficient because you can path through demo stockpile

#

please big fish

#

move it here and my life is yours

#

it makes too much sense to put the node every vet build wants, in the spot every vet build is forced to tak

pliant prawn
#

voc is boring

#

every vet runs it

pastel yew
#

melee is where its most fun though

#

for sure

cyan verge
#

YES

#

BECAUSE VOC IS GODLY?

#

it's not for 'no' reason

pliant prawn
#

still boring

pastel yew
#

and is immediately after the node every vet really should take

#

it's the strongest, and most point efficient

#

always

#

sometimes you dont got a choice

cyan verge
#

imo I'd like to run the movespeed shit on the right side down through the aura but I dunno

#

go fast with fury (for the heretics)

it's bad

a total trap

pastel yew
#

tbf it can be pretty clutch

#

the reason it's bad though is because cooldown reduction perma gold toughness is better

I tried the +1 nade

It was just ok

#

But I’m ngl

#

Superiority complex + marksman + CQKZ is insane

cyan verge
#

one time I accidentally forgot to take 'duty and honour' and was like wait why am I not making everyone gold toughness

tall torrent
#

I run it for plasma now

cyan verge
#

then I was like wait by default it 'just' staggers and restores your toughness? that's lame

tall torrent
#

Superiority complex + marksman + CQKZ all up is like

you'd think it'd be innate but I guess it costs an extra point so fair

pliant prawn
#

like look at them even before u press F

cyan verge
#

what a junk passive

cyan verge
#

that's the thing like VoC puts everyone on the ground, you can rez in that time

#

you don't even need an augment that gives you rez on voice

#

just do it with your hands

#

the increased cooldown also takes your downtime on gold toughness from 15s to 30s

pliant prawn
cyan verge
#

the fact it's only 20% brittleness too is like lol lmao

what would u guys say is the least-used vet voice

Female cutthroat

pliant prawn

im realizing a lot of ppl use the cadian guy (including me) so i wanna fix that

tall torrent
#

Male vet is very popular

pliant prawn
#

i dont have any women characters

tall torrent
#

Don’t see many female veterans

pliant prawn
#

i don't like playing as a woman unless i really like the character

#

none of the voices in this game stand out to me much, psykers have the most personality

#

tho i kinda hate woman seer ...

pastel yew
#

the fem vet has the best lines for sure

#

maybe I just like the irish

cyan verge
#

all my characters are girls

#

I think the reason people pick male vet in darktide is the same reason people pick human fighter in dnd

#

its the like

#

white bread option

#

most relatable to most people playing

#

simple

#

and most people playing games are guys

cyan verge
#

my vet is loose cannon which I thought might be like, something else but it turns out by loose cannon they mean completely fucking terrible at her job except when it comes to killing things

#

work-shy lazybones with a talent for murder

#

i used to use fem cutthroat but i realized it was really weird to have a veteran screaming about cadia while wearing a jacket from armageddon

pastel yew
cyan verge
#

yes

pastel yew
#

bad at being a soldier

#

great at killing

atomic zephyr
#

so i recently switched to loose cannon

#

both are great honestly

pastel yew
#

I love that one of the other male vet lines slags her off

#

"you're a shit soldier."

#

always makes me laugh a little

#

some of the lesser used voices have so many good lines

#

I finally had a combo of the like.. boring law psyker, and the female beloved psyker

#

their interactions are amazing

steep grail
#

"PLEASE MR. COMMISAR, MAY I SHINE YOUR BOOTS WITH MY TONGUE!?" is my favorite line in darktide

#

and its from the fem loose cannon

cyan verge
#

lol

#

have not heard it

pastel yew
#

I dont think I've heard it either which is wild

cyan verge
#

I picked judge zealot then respecced to the fuckin crazy scottish one just because I heard it and was like wow that's the best

steep grail
#

its an interaction with the male professional iirc

pastel yew
#

I've only ever used this voice

#

some voice lines are just super rare I think

cyan verge
#

and for psyker I picked loner since I was like yeah okay that seems the least insane one

pliant prawn
#

i wish one of the vets just stuck to calling enemies by their common names

pastel yew
#

feels still semi common I hear new ones

pliant prawn
#

instead of traxis something something

cyan verge
#

they're all guardsmen

#

so it kinda makes sense

steep grail
#

professional calling them by their code names is funny

pliant prawn
#

only the most diehard of fans know what a traxis 34758 is

steep grail
#

its actually more of a problem with loose cannon

pastel yew
#

loose cannon starts half of their code name and just goes "ahh whatever, shoot the flamey one!"

cyan verge
#

or you read the guide 🥹

steep grail
#

because they dont say the full name at first

cyan verge
#

good note in here

steep grail
#

"Traxis, uhh... forget it, shoot the trapper!"

cyan verge
#

you can't even trust her to get it right

pastel yew
#

to be fair I dont think the voice lines have ever given me info I didnt already have

steep grail
#

male cutthroat and fem loose cannon also have my favorite VoC lines

pliant prawn
#

i want my fellows to know who im calling out

cyan verge
#

some of them will proc like on spawn for some specialists/elites

#

some of them a bit late

#

there are times when it's like they call and you're like what, where, and the enemy hasn't even like shown up near you yet, they just kinda know

#

and I think it's because the enemy literally just spawned

pliant prawn
#

it's why i like cadia guy for the most part

#

he usually just calls them by normal names

steep grail
#

you know male loner psyker and the bully ogryn have the same voice actor?

cyan verge
#

wow

#

no way

steep grail
#

genuinely polar opposite voices

cyan verge

i cant think of what makes them different

i dont like cuttthroat cause he does the half-assed code calls

#

at least professional does it right

tall torrent
#

Male cutthroat voice needs scion helmet to be truly peak

paper trellis

i enjoy the male professional. Instead of breaking, he goes numb and does the job

steep grail
#

thats loose cannon

and he's honestly pretty friendly with the rest of the crew

tall torrent
pliant prawn
#

oh whatever see they're all the same things to me

Loose cannon forgot

pliant prawn

i meant loose cannon

I can’t imagine using cutthroat without scion helmet’s voice mod tho

only vets use the codenames

common name is mauler or shotgunner or whatever

man, suddenly the kantrael iiib and its ridiculous ammo economy makes sense

tall torrent

Professional has some flirty lines

pliant prawn

not very professional

pastel yew

loose cannon vet is cannonically the coolest character, therefore caring about the codenames AND getting them wrong

#

is the most optimal

pliant prawn

but the line takes so damn long

vital wren
# pastel yew also what makes you say that

She says to one of the zealots, hey zealot, one of yours keeps eyeing me. The zealot is like, idk what his problem is or something. Prof gal says "I didn't say I didn't like it"

nah the fem zealot lines are also cooler again, though the scottish guy is great

as any self respecting zealot should be

(Which prob is why they sometimes confuse which god they worship)

pastel yew
#

he has some of the most wholesome lines with the protector ogryn

#

I love him so much

pliant prawn
#

agitator zealot is okay but i dont like some of his lines

#

i actually really like when the fem agitator speaks calmly but her angry lines are awful imo

steep grail

i think every zealot personality is very nothing

i dont care for any of them

I like the fancy one getting called out by the uhh.. bitchy female psyker

whats so wrong with em

cyan verge

isn't male loner the german one, I like that

steep grail
#

yeah

tall torrent
#

Loner is just horrible

cyan verge

for some reason male loner sounds like uh robin atkin downes

#

it sounds like the medic lol

steep grail

i mean every psyker personality crumbles in comparison to the savant

cyan verge

I like female loner

tall torrent
#

Seer is the best psyker voice

#

Savant is ok

steep grail

i hate the female seer

#

so fucking annoying

#

go back to vermintide

pastel yew
#

aint no way

#

bait used to be real

#

his accent is the most interesting for sure

but his character writing is so boring

pliant prawn

ID have stayed with savant if he didnt have one or two annoying lines

steep grail

female savant is S tier personality

tall torrent

Seer > savant > loner

cyan verge

female loner is like the romanian sounding one, I like that

if I hear one more thing about the lex atoma I'm gonna

I'd second Seer being the best for sure

steep grail

wait is bodyguard or brawler the rations one

pastel yew
#

the fem seer is hillarious

tall torrent
pastel yew

makes sense he's the most kept together but

steep grail

whichever one is rations guy is the worst personality in the game

Just watched a smyker smite the fire on the floor how we doing today folks

by a long shot

pastel yew

eh he's boring

It’s loner

#

Bar none

pastel yew
#

whats with the loner hate

steep grail
#

rations was funny the first month of this game being out

tall torrent
#

It’s no coincidence that they named the worst aura in the game “loner”

pastel yew
#

I like the female loner a lot

#

she's such a piece of shit

steep grail
#

i like female savant

#

i like the fact shes like actually competent

#

and her voice doesnt annoy me

tall torrent
#

Canonically most skilled psyker is savant

cyan verge

I don't like male seer

female savant might be the rarest line in the game

I never hear her

also french so

automatic worst voice

i hate him

so much

pastel yew

whyyy he's adorable

steep grail
#

"sah" and "rashuns" is just not funny

#

it isnt entertaining anymore

pastel yew

he has the best line combos with all the characters for sure

cyan verge
#

I think I might never get sick of it

#

yeah he has some of the best party dialogue imo

pastel yew
#

sah and rashuns arent interesting but him being soft fella and getting on with everyone is nice

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

though bully ogryn is probably my favourite

steep grail
pastel yew
#

no one plays bully though

#

super rare

cyan verge
#

part of why I picked brawler is cuz I heard bodyguard a LOT the week I started playing

steep grail
#

bully and male loner have a really funny interaction

cyan verge
#

and bully was like no I want to be helpful :)

pastel yew
#

damn thats a combo I've probably not seen

cyan verge
#

but now it's like I could probably stand to play bully now

pliant prawn
#

i use bully ogryn

pliant prawn
#

i try to pick whoever i think is least popular or if i really like a voice

#

bully is def least popular ogryn

#

he's wholesome sometimes

I think I haven't heard it

she's literally my most played and that's likely the vet I encounter most

#

Cutthroat has a conversation with female agitator zealot

pastel yew
#

it must be some real rare condition

#

I'm also convinced some lines just barely ever trigger even when you have the characters

steep grail
#

male professional and male loose cannon have an interaction talking about the lasgun

#

ive NEVER heard it ingame

#

only in videos

pastel yew
#

maybe they need to be using them

cyan verge
#

it might even be cut content or not implemented in-game

#

any game with voice acting always has that kind of thing, like they just leave it in the files

#

kotor 2 had like 30% more game just not implemented but still in files

#

just needed to be hooked up

pastel yew
#

god thats so

#

whyyy

#

I hate that

#

just unneccessary file space

cyan verge
#

because obsidian was extremely pressed for time, as usual lol

pastel yew
#

especially given most of a games files are gonne be audio or texture files

tall torrent
#

I’ve seen one quad veteran conversation

pastel yew

that's wild

as I imagine all different voices

tall torrent

All 3 male veteran personalities + female loose cannon

wow

tall torrent

Has a bonding conversation

pliant prawn
#

i love how many there are

#

im still hearing lines ive never heard

pastel yew

yeah I mean you hear new ones semi frequently

#

its nice

#

it sorta keeps me invested in what they're saying

steep grail
#

ive never seen that

pastel yew
#

I know a lot of people aren't happy with these characters being more faceless but I think they're still all super cool

#

I didnt really like many of the vermintide characters anyway

tall torrent
cyan verge

I didn't come from VT2 I came from nothing so it has not troubled me

vt2 is cool, I've not really gotten that deep into it though

Going back to auric after playing havoc all day is like going to fight toddlers

pastel yew

its a lot of grind to get through

#

not that auric was the pinacle of player skill anyway

#

the range is huge though usually players arent greatr

pliant prawn
#

im playing havoc til i get the full outfit

#

then i am FINISHED

#

back to quickplay spamming

I hope they keep supporting havoc

#

But I wish more weapon choices were good in havoc

pastel yew
tall torrent
#

One problem rn is like

pastel yew
#

were these guys here from mission 1?

#

from

#

level start even

tall torrent
#

When u get to 30+ in havoc

pastel yew
#

bah

pseudo fiber
#

Yeah

#

I am him

tall torrent
#

You’re not rly gonna be testing new weapons out anymore

#

Build variety is super restricted

pastel yew
#

I hope they support havoc, I just dont want it to be more than a side mode

pseudo fiber
#

They gonna add mroe maps and modifiers

#

so

#

that's good

pastel yew
#

I'd be surprised if some modifiers don't get adjusted

#

the one that reduces ranged weapon damage for example

pseudo fiber
#

They were nice I can't complain

white minnow
#

horde hitmass could prob be tweaked down a bit to lessen the disparity between weapons w/ cleave blessings and those that don't have any

pastel yew
#

unless they're your mates

pseudo fiber
#

eh

#

we won?

#

and I had a good time

pastel yew
#

all ya can hope for really

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

I'll give my opinion when I get there, as long as you're still stressed I'll enjoy it

#

all my favourite darktide moments are when you're put up against some weird new combination thats hard to manage win or lose

#

brains wired up wrong, stress is fun

white minnow
#

it's fun to shit talk among friends, prob not as fun with strangers perhaps

paper trellis
#

okay figured out what was going on with the tact axe. different marks have different armor penetration. I was using the one that has virtually none

paper trellis
tall torrent
paper trellis
# tall torrent How

testing room, hitting a crusher, only headshots, once kill twice more to account for crits then switch tact axe and check difference in damage numbers after repeat

tall torrent
#

What difference in damage numbers

#

Dps numbers?

paper trellis
tall torrent
paper trellis
tall torrent
#

This is some insane way to “test” lol

paper trellis
tall torrent
#

Are you aware of certain light attacks doing less damage

paper trellis
#

mhm

tall torrent
#

That a yes or a no

paper trellis
#

do you not know what mhm means?

tall torrent
paper trellis
tall torrent
#

Mk7 L1 = Mk 7 L3 = Mk2 L1 = Mk2 L3 >
Mk7 L2 = Mk2 L2 = Mk4 all light attacks

#

Heavy attack damage is same across all 3 variants

paper trellis
#

i'm aware

tall torrent
#

So what’s the lower Armor penetration thing

#

Are u talking about mk4 light atks being the lowest base dmg by default? Or smth else

paper trellis
#

the heavy attacks are identical. The light attacks on the 4 drop more than the damage difference between mk4 and the other 2

tall torrent
#

That’s because mk4 light atks use the sweeping light damage profile (better base cleave, lower base damage) which is also used for L2 on mk2 and mk7

paper trellis
#

mhm. leading to less armor penetration on the lights.

tall torrent
#

It’s the same armor penetration on L2 for mk2 and mk7

winter grove
#

Mk2 mk7

#

What weapon?

tall torrent
#

Tac axe

winter grove
#

Ah

#

Just use mk4 5head

paper trellis
#

unless you want me to magically only use the l2 on the mk2 and 7 so they do the same damage as the mk4 to the crusher overall

tall torrent
#

If you’re talking armor penetration
I assume you’re talking about ADMs
That specific lower damage light atk has around 0.485 vs carapace which is nearly identical to the higher damage light atks (0.491 vs carapace)

#

So I don’t get the “lower armor penetration” part

#

If u were talking about flak armor it’d make more sense

paper trellis
#

using a partially leveled tact axe. mk4 hits for 101, mk7 hits for 118 on the same axe swapped to a different mark

tall torrent
#

Again, that’s the base damage being lower, not the “armor damage modifier” being significantly lower

#

You’re arguing semantics here

paper trellis
#

i'm arguing it takes longer to kill the crusher because of the sweep multiplier and lower damage combined

#

never said anything about an armor multiplier, only that it doesn't penetrate through the armor as well. Namely because of the sweep attacks

#

and because it's a relatively low damage weapon that hits quickly, the differences between hits add up

#

i'll give you my usage of "virtually none" was a bit of an exaggeration

ember folio
#

any meta builds with a good gun for a one shot one kill type of fellow that yall can give me?

ember folio
#

revolvers are great except i hate managing my mag that much

#

also I'm looking to do the best teamplay i can, i run with a group of three other friends

hearty panther
#

idk ilas or helbores i guess

pastel yew
#

objectively the coolest one shot weapon

#

though yeah helbores are fine too, less cool

ember folio
#

im down for bolt pistol
still looking for a build though lol, having a marksman gun was just one of my preferences to guide it

pastel yew
#

for bolt pistol surgical+deadly accurate then take +stamina curio and deadshot, preferably with some % stam regen like from focus target

#

then its just the usual vet shit

#

grenade regen, left and middle trees

#

kraks if you have a horde clear melee weapon, frags if you dont

tawny timber
#

how do i stop feeling like im shit at darktide

pastel yew
#

darktide isnt a skill based game

#

its an experience based game

#

focus less on winning and focus more on splitting the problem into smaller parts you can feel rewarded for

tawny timber
#

im almost 500 hours in and get ass handed on damnation regularly

pastel yew
#

some people are just gonna be better at this kinda game naturally but

#

what are the main mistakes you miss

#

make

#

even

tawny timber
pastel yew
#

I mean it's either gonna be

#

your builds shit

bitter turtle
#

does not work on havoc

pastel yew
#

you're over/under aggressive

bitter turtle
#

do you want it

pastel yew
#

or you arent very perceptive

#

I'd put money on it being one of those three as a key issue

bitter turtle
#

the playstyle is constant rapid swapping between your melee and bistol so you never need to reload or run out of stamina

pastel yew
#

but I dont think anyone in here can tell you how to be good when its a complex context based issue

ember folio
bitter turtle
#

yea i dont think this will ever work on havoc

#

it's a dive-the-ejnemy type setup

#

and thats just suicidal in havoc 40

pastel yew
#

most people aint gonna be playing at hav 40 to be fair

ember folio
#

yeah im certainly not there yet

pastel yew
#

I've tried up to havoc 19 so far and honestly it feels like you can just use whatever

bitter turtle
#

here

#

its knife + boltpistol

ember folio
#

havent gotten far in havoc at all and after playing maelstroms all the time it just feels braindead

bitter turtle
#

but other melee should work as well

pastel yew
#

also

ember folio
#

ooooo

pastel yew
#

wtf is this menu

#

my assignment rank is back?

#

what

bitter turtle
#

boltpistol should have run n gun + lethal explosion/puncture/deadly accurate

#

you can drop skirmisher on the tree if you run puncture

pastel yew
#

I was 16 last week, got booted down to 3, then climbed back to 8... dropped it and played to 18 with friends and then suddenly my ranks back to 16

#

wtf

#

boltpistol run n gun?

#

wild take

bitter turtle
#

not that wild

pastel yew
#

considering surgical+deadly accurate makes all your breakpoints 1 hit kills

bitter turtle
#

it tightens the spread so it becomes hipfire pinpoint

#

surgical + DA is just playing bad revolver

#

leveraging the bistol for its strengths is better

pastel yew
#

they're not the same weapon

bitter turtle
#

yes but you are playing them in the same way if you do surg DA

pastel yew
#

bolt pistol is way more similar to laspistol than the revolver

bitter turtle
#

uh

#

no its not

pastel yew
#

they literally fill the same role?

#

they're ammo efficient elite clear

#

the zarona is worse at that than the bp but it has other benefits which the bp doesnt

bitter turtle
#

you arent tanking gunner shots with bolt pistol

#

and the dmg profile and ammo count is way closer to revo than laspis

pastel yew
#

just mechanically they fill the same role, the bp is never gonna run out of ammo and has more shots before needing to reload

#

its not WS dependant

#

it's better at killing gunners than the zarona if you're hitting headshots

#

because the benefits the zarona brings are body shot break points, actually good armor damage, and boss damage depending

#

bolt pistol is just a marksman weapon, similar to others of its class

#

the revolver is kind of its own beast

bitter turtle
#

let me rephrase it

#

you are playing boltpistol in a melee heavy build where you only shoot to pick off elites and specials

ember folio
bitter turtle
#

this is not the same playstyle as laspistol

#

at all

pastel yew
wicked epoch
#

is there any build to make only in death does duty end useful

pastel yew
#

I mean ghost isnt a playstyle?

bitter turtle
#

l aspistol is a spam weapon

pastel yew
#

you're killing the same enemies with each gun

bitter turtle
#

you dont spam bistol shots

pastel yew
#

surgical/DA is just the best way to make up your breakpoints

#

it doesnt rely on dots or condition

#

it means you can actually use the weapon with some speed

bitter turtle
#

you dont need DA or the followup crit for most bp

pastel yew
#

I'm not sure what you mean by that

bitter turtle
#

so

#

dreg gunner is 1tap with no crit if you have puncture, run n gun, or skirmisher up

ember folio
#

so what knife blessings are the good stuff
im looking at the hammer of the emperor but it has too many options fo rme

pastel yew
#

again

bitter turtle
#

dreg ragers are 1tap with crit

pastel yew
#

puncture

#

dot

#

run and gun

#

weird condition

#

SKIRMISHER BREAKPOINT

#

aint no way

bitter turtle
#

ye

#

thats why i take it

#

lel

pastel yew
#

I'm being trolled

bitter turtle
#

no

#

i unironically ran this in auric

pastel yew
#

I could see skirmisher maybe on the knife

bitter turtle
#

yes

pastel yew
#

but on bp that seems so int

bitter turtle
#

im using knife/bistol lol

#

its not

pastel yew
#

why rely on all this weird condition based garbage when you can just

bitter turtle
#

cus it only needs

pastel yew
#

right click

#

left click

bitter turtle
#

one of those 3

#

because

pastel yew
#

or rather the inverse

bitter turtle
#

holding aim for surgical is cringe

#

when i can just sprint hipfire 1tap everything?

ember folio
#

guys ever hit shift+enter before?

pastel yew
#

you dont have to hold aim with surgical if you have deadshot
