#

two puts you at psyker

#

its kinda overkill

bitter turtle
#

Games lantern has very questionable builds on it

pastel yew
#

the only thing its worth is that it lets you infinite slide

vapid nacelle
#

single shot or fan the hammer revolver?

soft trellis
pastel yew
#

with no stam usage

pastel yew
soft trellis
pastel yew
#

unless your melee weapon is super reliant on them for horde clear

#

gotta admit

#

both stam delay nodes does feel reaal good though

vapid nacelle
#

ok so single shot

#

gotchaw

#

was wondering what the crusher response was

soft trellis
vapid nacelle
#

both are those are good into them yeah

soft trellis
#

I just swap between the mk6 heavy sword and the mk3 shovel whenever I feel like it

vapid nacelle
#

I haven't used the revolver in quite a while

soft trellis
#

Also I got this on the build I have

vapid nacelle
#

maybe I should

#

gotcha

soft trellis
#

So the question is: What isn't my crusher response?

vapid nacelle
#

lol

#

I haven't used kraks in like forever

pastel yew
#

krak minigame of stacking enemies quite fun

soft trellis
#

They're more for monsters with how I fight crushers... unless there's like 10 of them

vapid nacelle
#

I'm just addicted to grenade spam

pastel yew
#

yeah I mean... they're just boss damage and team support for pubbies that are getting swamped by guys you cant get in melee with

vapid nacelle
#

frag* grenade spam

soft trellis
#

I tend to save frag nades for monsters as well, when I have them... x.x

hollow ibex
#

Frags should definitely be spammed

soft trellis
#

more cuz I forget about my nades sometimes cuz of zealot maining for so long

vapid nacelle
#

I have all the grenade regen stuff that's good so

soft trellis
#

I got so used to saving stun nades for clutches... that I forget to use nades

#

Less so on Vet

vapid nacelle
#

still trying to figure out what I'm most comfortable with for grenadier but so far I've been liking this most

#

knife boltpistol

bitter turtle
#

Imo

manic echo
#

I was thinking of maybe trying infantry autogun

#

Or something

bitter turtle
#

Invigorated is important on knife bistol

vapid nacelle
manic echo
#

Not sure how good that is compare to recon

vapid nacelle
#

but like I don't wanna drop anything that's there

bitter turtle
#

Drop crates?

vapid nacelle
#

I always take the crate perk

manic echo
vapid nacelle
#

not because it will guaranteed be game saving but because of the many times I've had a situation where it would be

manic echo
#

For hoard clear/elite kill

bitter turtle
#

Also I would say

vapid nacelle
bitter turtle
#

Drop ogryn damage and get superiority complex

#

Instead

#

Pretty sure you can't get close to 1tapping dreg gunners without it

#

And it's only 5% lower damage on ogryns

#

Unless you really value that boss dmg

vapid nacelle
#

this class has to be so point hungry

bitter turtle
#

Bistol has too much synergy with WS, I think

#

Which is unfortunate but yeah

#

And point hunger is why I don't take crates on most builds yea

#

Honestly

#

Not having agile engagement on knife /bistol is really feelsbad

#

Since it's trivial to maintain the way that build would play

vapid nacelle
#

which one is agile engagement I don't know them all by name

bitter turtle
#

25% dmg boost to your melee when you get a range kill

#

25% dmg boost to range when you get a melee kill

vapid nacelle
#

yeah

#

I want that node but it costs so much to get there

bitter turtle
#

Thats why I path on right side

vapid nacelle
#

but then no survivalist :(

hollow ibex
#

you don't really need surv with bistol (so long as you hit breakpoints)

#

assuming non-havoc ofc

bitter turtle
#

The real loss is shredders for smokes but

#

It's good to learn how to use smokes anyway

#

They're quite good

#

You could try this

vapid nacelle
bitter turtle
#

But no crates so idk if you would want to

vapid nacelle
#

I am not going without frags

eternal verge
#

I wanna keep playing veteran but the only gun I like is the revolver but it just feels like too many enemies too little bullets

vapid nacelle
#

frags are half the reason I enjoy the class

eternal verge
#

I don’t have the diamantine for a good melee lol

bitter turtle
#

Fair enough

pastel yew
#

play another class you enjoy till you got the mats for weapons

hollow ibex
#

just have someone carry you through havoc 40 uwugryn

old quail
#

good times

pastel yew
old quail
#

people need to suffer

pastel yew
#

verry annoying time ;-;

eternal verge
bitter turtle
#

Suffering builds character

eternal verge
#

shit gets toxic

pastel yew
#

levelling new classes is painful enough as is

#

everything below auric is boring

eternal verge
#

and you get matchmade with the worst people ever

hollow ibex
#

part of the fun

eternal verge
#

who r somehow failing the easiest tasks

pastel yew
#

not that good

#

so you can't expect them to really hold their own

vapid nacelle
#

time to drop iron will

#

surely nothing will go horribly wrong

pastel yew
#

surely

#

I mean to be fair

#

iron will is good

#

but I wouldnt say its absolutely mandatory

sterile phoenix
#

Current build I am running on veteran. I am close to getting max level on that accatran (one more mission run). Is my build decent?

pastel yew
#

plenty of other ways to make up for worse defence

bitter turtle
#

Just dont get hit

vapid nacelle
#

I have maniac on my bolt pistol and I genuinely do not remember why

pastel yew
bitter turtle
#

Except

#

Drop exploit weakness

#

It's garbo

#

25 toughness instead

bitter turtle
#

Is how you perk a bistol

#

Iirc it's flamers

#

And dreg ragers?

#

I think

sterile phoenix
vapid nacelle
#

yeah it seems to be

bitter turtle
#

Switch one blessing to uncanny

#

Personally I like agile uncanny but I have had someone claim agile is bad

#

I don't agree but LappKek

pastel yew
#

I've seen people claim uncanny is bad too so

#

take whats fun Kleo

bitter turtle
#

It's not necessary on zealot

#

Because of duelist

#

Which is the only time I could see dropping it

#

But i still run uncanny just because idk

sterile phoenix
vapid nacelle
#

head shot has no change

bitter turtle
bitter turtle
#

I can crit 1tap dreg rager

#

Idk if maniac is needed but I assume so

bitter turtle
vapid nacelle
#

I think I'm able to crit onetap but I can't get the crit to happen lol

#

not running surgical on this one

bitter turtle
#

12 is fastest fire rate but worst ammo efficiency
6 is highest ammo efficiency
14 has cleave and can shoot through lesser enemies to hit 2 targets

bitter turtle
#

WS

#

For guaranteed crit

#

Surg bistol is just bad revolver imo lol

vapid nacelle
#

okay yeah it is a crit one shot

sterile phoenix
bitter turtle
#

Havoc = 6
Auric and below = 14

#

In havoc 14 can no longer pierce due to enemy hitmass

#

12 is very popular

#

Because it's fun seeing the torrent of lasers

#

And it's on paper dps is slightly higher (it's less than a 10% difference)

#

But I personally think it's mostly a meme

hollow ibex
#

the slow draw and slowdown while firing the 12 is pretty annoying

#

but honestly all the marks are good

bitter turtle
#

Yea it's not a huge difference either way tbh so just try and see which you like

#

People like 12 for the onslaught build to make the gun kill crushers as well, but it's a waste of points to do that

#

Especially since you're using ds4

vapid nacelle
#

I use 12 for this eldritch horror

bitter turtle
#

Ah yes

#

The "look at how fast i kill crushers" build

#

I like how you take opening Salvo instead of iron will

#

That takes guts

vapid nacelle
bitter turtle
#

But you forgot deadshot

vapid nacelle
#

for the memes

tall torrent
unreal nova
bitter turtle
#

It's ok but I would still take kill zone personally

vapid nacelle
bitter turtle
#

Where's your deadshot then

#

You coward

#

Who needs stamina

vapid nacelle
#

D:

bitter turtle
#

Just run 3 stamina curios

vapid nacelle
#

eyeing shocktrooper that's gotta go too

#

who needs ammo

pastel yew
bitter turtle
#

Nah shocktrooper let's you shoot longer without reload

#

It's indirectly contributing to damage

vapid nacelle
#

10.6k dps without a red stimm

bitter turtle
viscid cedar
#

I just got the on overwatch achievement :D

#

My heart was beating so fast the entire time cuz I had to stay locked in

bitter turtle
#

Congrats

viscid cedar
#

Thank you :)

By doing this I also got the untouchable penance

covert moat
#

honest to the emperor, how do i improve this? i know get rid of glory hunter, but should i replace it with blaze away or something else?

#

also im unsure if maniacs is good choice for this

#

been away for a while and i want to get back into auric

rain badger
covert moat
#

charge rate higher?

rain badger
#

yes, it affects your left clicks as well

covert moat
#

i thought that only influenced the ADS, good to know

rain badger
#

unless i am wrong, go to breakdown and hover over charge rate, it should say primary and secondary

grand perch
#

@tired egret

rain badger
#

What he said KEKW_ogryn

covert moat
rain badger
#

hip fire = left click
charge = braced

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

honestly I wouldnt drop glory hunter from the plasma at all

#

mega toughness given how fast you're killing it basically lets you ignore the game and fill your role

rain badger
#

im a left click spam enjoyer, so I like blaze away lmao

tall torrent
rain badger
pastel yew
#

glory hunter is like 50 ish toughness per elite kill

covert moat
#

thank you

pastel yew
#

I could have sworn it was 30% not 25% though

#

ah its 30% on the bolt pistol

covert moat
#

thank you guys for the help.

#

im running ACDR Sprint eff, Stam regen, and block eff for my curios with dueling sword having uncany and respiot (however you spell it)

storm quest
#

What's up guys, new to Veteran. Does he have any melee weapons that trivialise Ragers? I can bully them on Ogryn(stagger lock them) and Psyker(force weapon push knocks them down), but I'm struggling on Veteran.

I tried Shovel and Power Sword so far but they're way riskier. Power Sword you need that space to activate it and the MK7 Shovel mode switch can be interrupted by them quite a lot trading with you, it cancels the second damage tick when you pull it out of their head. Does he have anything like Ogryn/Psyker to bully them?

Would really appreciate some recommendations!

pastel yew
#

some easier than others for sure

fiery raft
#

you can cancel mk6 powersword activation with block

pastel yew
#

also yeah mk6 cancel helps a lot

#

the power sword isnt exactly super safe rager clear but it will deal with packs of them easily

storm quest
#

I have been doing that but taking any hit even with full toughness it deactivates

fiery raft
#

aim for the head

pastel yew
#

can always dodge back while activating, as long as they're not in their combo you should be gucci

storm quest
#

Yeah it is good don't get me wrong I was just looking for ez mode haha, I heard the mk1 shovel can stagger them a lot

#

With the little stab

pastel yew
#

if you're looking for easy mode then like path just showed rashad for sure

fiery raft
#

looks sweet

pastel yew
#

rashad is the ultimate easy mode does it all weapon

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

cant go wrong

tall torrent
#

The dodge bar?

pastel yew
#

just needs melee investment

fiery raft
#

yes

tall torrent
#

ShowRemainingDodges

storm quest
#

What's that there push attack heavy spam in the vid?

tall torrent
storm quest
#

I haven't tried the axes yet thanks

tall torrent
#

Repeat

storm quest
#

Push attack light got it

pastel yew
storm quest
#

Cheers man

bitter turtle
tall torrent
bitter turtle
#

Not that i really like dclaws

#

But yea

tall torrent
#

And the bar can be customized in color

tall torrent
#

Default is yellow / red

terse idol
tall torrent
#

I use turquoise / orange

pastel yew
#

the dclaw fucks up ragers

#

I tend to dislike really overt hud elements more often than not so the smaller a profile they take up the better

terse idol
#

Mainly all damage max, Brutal momentum, and head taker
Unarmoured and Cara or flak iirc

storm quest
#

Oh yeah d claw is very good I forgot about that

pastel yew
#

its a shame the devil claw is kinda mid outside of that though

bitter turtle
#

If dclaw didn't have such god damn terrible flak dmg

bitter turtle
#

Id like em more

rain badger
tall torrent
#

(Yes the tooltip is wrong)

rain badger
#

jesus christ

#

I noticed that when spamming it builds up points like blaze away

pastel yew
#

melee weapon

#

not as bad on zealot

tall torrent
#

This is what optimized cooling actually does

pastel yew
#

since you have more freedom in kit

#

but vet absolutely never would I run a melee that can only rely on parry to deal with crushers

storm quest
#

His class specific weapons feel more skilful than what I used on Psyker/Ogryn like with the force swords you can just keep them on the floor. Power sword is sick though it cuts through everything like butter when I'm in that flow state but if I'm just sightly off it's just getting deactivated all the time

pastel yew
#

it getting deactivated is a bug so it might change

storm quest
#

Oh is it?

pastel yew
#

personally I'd say its fine as is to balance it though

#

yeah

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

its not?

tall torrent
#

It’s working as intended rn

#

The bug got patched already

pastel yew
#

I swear I've seen it confirmed that it shutting off is a bug

fiery raft
#

im losing it

pastel yew
#

same with the psyker force sword losing all charge when hit

fiery raft
#

trying to play aurics with randoms and i've had bad game after bad game

tall torrent
#

If u get hit, you lose the charge (this is intended)

storm quest
#

I thought it was intentional like the force swords as well?

tall torrent
pastel yew
tall torrent
#

You get combo reset when u get hit

pastel yew
#

dogshit

tall torrent
#

Punishes you for making dumb plays

pastel yew
#

idk I feel like If I've just been carving through enemies gaining charge meter to fire my projectile

#

I press button and get tickled losing all charge

#

that sucks

bitter turtle
#

The projectile is pretty mid anyway

pastel yew
#

I can get dropping the activation

bitter turtle
#

For fgs

pastel yew
#

but losing all meter is just not a fun mechanic

tall torrent
#

Psyker players somehow cannot comprehend that

pastel yew
bitter turtle
#

I haven't had it interrupted yet ye

pastel yew
#

it looks sick

bitter turtle
#

Just back off a bit

storm quest
#

I got on really well with the force GS tbf they're very good of at least feel it

#

Or*

rain badger
# tall torrent

so my testing is correct, I get 1 more charged shot before 100% heat? 4 vs 3?

storm quest
#

Idk if it's meta but it clicked with me from playing VT2 a lot it feels like exe

tall torrent
#

I’m not sure if it changes if u have like 80% thermal resist

#

I tested with mine which was a perfect distribution

pastel yew
#

it was so weak before

storm quest
#

Is that Rashad axe in the vid tac or combat btw sorry I should asked sooner

tall torrent
#

In blaze away’s context, that’s 3 extra shots with full blaze away stacks

#

Which is a lot more damage

storm quest
#

Ty

tall torrent
#

Tac axes are actually kinda better at killing ragers

rain badger
tall torrent
#

They don’t have to waste 2 PAs just for stagger

storm quest
#

I honestly haven't tried any axes yet

tall torrent
#

Aren’t u left clicking (hipfire)?

rain badger
tall torrent
rain badger
#

right click charging nets me 1 additonal shot with optimized cooling

tall torrent
#

Base brace firing has 3 shots then vent

#

With optimized cooling I think u can squeeze 1 more but that’s not the point

#

The point is that u can left click spam 3 more shots (11) instead of 8

#

Those 3 extra shots have max blaze away stacks of +40% strength

rain badger
#

Stat spread, I just changed my blessings

tall torrent
#

If u want a magdump plasma, this is the magdump plasma

#

I think if u want blaze away u should just take optimized cooling

rain badger
#

Sounds good, I just dont use plasma as much as I used to

tall torrent
#

Otherwise go smth like gets hot + rising heat / gloryhunter

rain badger
#

on that Recon Las train right now

#

still need to check out double barrel and revolver

#

Ive been playing the last 85 levels on a new psyker, and i wish plasma was like a void strike staff, now THATS how plasma should be

tall torrent
#

Psyker op

#

I’m 2 parts away from finishing blessing sections

rain badger
#

Psyker just has more fun ranged stuff compared to vet, and I am level 434 on vet lmao

#

imagine a plasma with a blessing that shot 2 shots on crit pogryn

#

or a perk tree node that increases your cleave....

pastel yew
#

I dont really think its a better weapon

#

hella fun though

rain badger
#

voidstrike + double shot on crit + cleave node lets you pierce an entire line of ragers until the end of the known universe

pastel yew
#

doesnt the plasma gun literally do that exact same thing with proper breakpoints

#
  • no crit reliance
#

I think the only major benefit I felt over the plasma gun was that I could shoot crushers without feeling bad

rain badger
#

If it does, it doesnt feel like it

pastel yew
#

boss damage is also hot garbage on the voidstrike for whatever reason

tall torrent
rain badger
#

from using staffs the last 30hrs, I wish plasma cooldown was as smooth as peril quelling

pastel yew
#

its cooler no?

#

or

#

faster

pastel yew
#

one tap of plasma cooldown is two uncharged shots

terse idol
#

Yipee

rain badger
#

would be cool if vets got more cooldown based weapons, and then a tree based on cooldown weapons

pastel yew
#

also side note I cant believe that

rain badger
#

more variety pls

pastel yew
#

cancer psyker quell cancel macro

#

is still not removed from the game

rain badger
pastel yew
#

thank god its not commonly used but this is very much open cheating

tall torrent
rain badger
#

I may or may not use a mod that doesnt let me kill myself from perils of the warp lmao

pastel yew
#

voidstrike hard forces you to take dd for proper breakpoints

#

but dd is goated with the voidstrike so

#

cant complain

pastel yew
#

do it

rain badger
#

100% peril? lmao, cant use anything that generates peril

pastel yew
#

idk the quell macro is just stupid though

#

the firerate is so far beyond what any human could reproduce

rain badger
#

ive seen it in game, never used tho

bitter turtle
#

my friend might want this

#

cus

rain badger
bitter turtle
#

they say scriers keeps bugging out and they pop themselves when its active

pastel yew
#

then them detonating becomes a funny joke

rain badger
bitter turtle
#

they are a she potatonier

#

and i am

#

whats it called

pastel yew
#

damn the joke doesnt work for fem chars

#

I guess you could be female ed...

#

its current year

bitter turtle
#

i dont think she wants to be male, irl or otherwise LappKek

pastel yew
#

lifes fucky

#

also all the fem characters have better voice lines PotSip

proper jasper
#

would i rather have shred for crit chance or savage for cleave on my chainsword?

umbral scaffold
#

I really

#

Really

#

Don't like the blight modifier on Havoc

pastel yew
#

shred + x depending on the weapon apparently

midnight totem
#

Wrath and bloodletter aw yeah

Let the galaxy bleed

goes over all the vet stuff

#

about as accurate a general guide as you could hope to get

pastel yew
#

I kinda dig it

#

weird splattoon goop

#

Thanks. Forgot to check the pinned messages lol

It's ridiculous on the tight Catwalk space before you take the train

Green stuff ebrrywhere

I got that+lights out

pastel yew
#

I love when one of them blows up and suddenly

#

there's now this glowing wave

#

it spirals p quick

hollow ibex
#

it's like the entire mission is designed to be as annoying as fucking possible

#

especially since bots pubbies can't play it well

umbral scaffold
#

Another one that was difficult, was the one where you break up walls

#

I just don't get what the fuck my mates are doing

hollow ibex
#

carnival? 🤔

umbral scaffold
#

I take out big groups with my grenades

#

And i snipe gunners etc.

#

But we still get overrun

#

I am wondering if i am not doing enough or if my teammates aren't doing their job

#

Cause i am pretty sure that i do my job when i 2 shot Ogryns and gunners etc. I don't think Plasma gun DS is meant to clear hordes

dense willow
#

veteran is a REALLY easy class, ngl

dense willow
#

not two shot

#

that's your mistake

umbral scaffold
#

That's how it goes with me most of the time

#

But it's enough

dense willow
#

just get better teammates bro

umbral scaffold
#

That too

#

I need like a Chorus Zealot that covers when you're rezing

#

You know how i often i played Chorus Zealot standing on top of a mate and the other guy runs off instead of resing?

unreal nova
#

Feels like forced to take shout rez in pubs tbh.

pastel yew
#

the hard parts of the game arent linked to classes particularly

pastel yew
#

bad players cant always make use of that extra tankiness effectively

#

but bad players can always make use of the proactive space you make with es

unreal nova
crimson wyvern
#

veterans talent tree is just crazy good, coming from someone thats just maxed out pennances on zealot and oggy

#

its insane how you're supposed to be this weak sharpshooter that needs to keep their distance but you have crazy good melee node options and also just oh shit buttons generated for you every 60 seconds

hollow ibex
#

vet isn't supposed to be a weak sharpshooter, hasn't been since post talent tree rework

broken spade
#

vet wasn't one pre tree either

hollow ibex
#

i wasn't there pre-tree KEKW_ogryn

broken spade
#

being a sharpshooter was a lie and the whole gimmick was actually just being an immobile stat stick

#

everyone kept calling it a ranged class but that was bullshit

fading yarrow
broken spade
#

vet had higher innate crit, higher innate toughness, higher percentage of toughness gained on melee kill, but worse dodge stats and sprint stats

#

and we had the best melee weapon in the game with the only downside being mobility

#

the identity in reality was just immobile juggernaut

hallow drift
#

To be fair, he is a guardsman (gun guy) who's original ability made shooting better, with talents that made you invisible if you roleplayed a turret gun

broken spade
#

all of vet's hidden stats was just "be good at everything except moving"

gleaming turtle
#

Dump stat on knoife?

hallow drift
#

Lot of people didn't look far beyond that, which is fartshart's fault more than theirs (I'll give them that)

broken spade
#

yeah to be fair, those stats were actually hidden

hallow drift
#

I feel bad that a lot of veterans are allergic to melee

broken spade
#

not that many people knew vets got 7.5% toughness off melee kill back then

fading yarrow
hallow drift
#

My best mate who I love to play with is like that and I dont have the heart to break the habit, so he either suffers or will learn in time

broken spade
#

kinda crazy they had that in addition to also having double everyone's base toughness

hallow drift
#

In reality he just plays SM2 instead

rain badger
hallow drift
#

Tried to bait him back in with the relic blade

#

I know he enjoys zealot since ogryn is in a rough spot

#

No dice because no vet weapon

gleaming turtle
#

Dump on PS is still Mobility, right?

fading yarrow
#

Yes

gleaming turtle
#

And Helbore?

fading yarrow
#

Stability

gleaming turtle
#

kk

fading yarrow
#

There are probably better setups but this one has treated me well

#

I also two-shot a Reaper with the bayonet on Damnation

#

I have no idea how I did it and I haven't been able to replicate it

dense willow
gleaming turtle
#

Does the Plasma Gun still do that weird thing with charge rate or whatever?

gleaming turtle
#

Depending on your CR roll, it would vary how much actual damage you did by a lot.

dense willow
#

never heard of it

gleaming turtle
#

There used be a big old graph showing the correct rolls to hit the right breakpoints.

#

This was a thing from last year.

dense willow
#

nah

#

shreds

#

annihalates

gleaming turtle
#

I am asking what the dump stat s.

dense willow
#

charge rate

gleaming turtle
#

I am aware it's very powerful, but I don't want to make a mistake.

#

Because CR used to be extremely important.

dense willow
#

not anymore

#

worthless

#

you only ever need to left click

gleaming turtle
#

Alright

dense willow
pastel yew
#

they're like the jack of all trades class

#

they shouldnt really excel beyond other classes

#

they're not as aggressive as the zealot or as dps heavy as the psyker (except they totally either are or almost are)

#

things are just a little overtuned, but thats the game generally

gleaming turtle
tall torrent
gleaming turtle
#

So, it was not bait, lol.

pastel yew
#

not since the class updates pretty much

#

or

#

well a little later probably, when weapon specialist was added

#

I'm still in shock gunpsyker got buffed

#

it was already nuts

broken spade
#

vet had high melee stats since launch anyways

unreal nova

#

anyone remember 7 power sword swings?

#

we were never pure ranged

tall torrent
gleaming turtle
#

And that is?

pastel yew
pastel yew
#

I played a lot of columnus which was the most ammo heavy in usage but even that I didnt find bat

#

bad

#

though I only really used it for dealing with elites

#

or specialists

unreal nova
pastel yew
#

automatic weapons in anyones hand get ammo heavy when used improperly though ig

#

a lot of people dont pace themself

#

or be a bit more reserved

#

theres always gonna be a full ammo box on the map somewhere but people are allergic to their ammo count being orange so they freak and scoop up more ammo than they need

unreal nova
#

I mean, I know the feel. Good thing tins are enough for vets doing that though.

broken spade
#

the fact that they can nerf ammo pickups by 75% in havoc shows us how stupid the ammo economy currently is outside of it

#

There is such an insane amount of ammo on maps that they had to go hard on the havoc debuffs

unreal nova
#

I dunno, never really did havoc. By the time I bothered, I can't find any sub 10 ones and I don't think I can really do the higher ones anyway.

broken spade
#

Running out of ammo becomes a lot more of an issue in high havoc, but people still manage

broken spade
#

even a crate only gives 25%

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

75% might be a bit too intense of a nerf given what i've been told about havoc meta ye

#

but less ammo would be good

#

it'd give more ammo efficient weapons a better opportunity to shine but

unreal nova
pastel yew
#

even some of those do the exact same damage output as less efficient weapons so maybe the system as a whole is just a mess

I either get terrible vets or amazing vets in havoc
The good vets all have something in common:
They all have good melee damage dealt

stuck gorge
#

you're on havoc chances are you dont need resources

broken spade
#

like the good havoc vets i get are doing some ballpark of 500k-600k in melee and 300-500k in ranged

#

sunder power sword going hard i guess

#

the shit vets will literally never melee

do a auric maelstrom

you'll go to 16 immediately

unreal nova

I'll be honest and say I can only do Auric Heresy, maybe.

Yeah don't worry about it if you're new then

#

havoc is more of an endgame tryhard challenge

Havoc is for people that want to experience PTSD when seeing 6 shotgunners come around a corner

But cosmetics lul.

havoc is for people that want to experience ptsd when seeing 1 shooter around a corner

Because funny +9 Stam.

tall torrent
#

Pus hardened?

queen fox
#

I'm pretty sure the blight skin modifier in havoc increases stagger resistance

queen fox
#

It def feels like it

tall torrent
#

Enemies have generally increased stagger reduction

queen fox
#

Wdym

tall torrent
#

It’s not tied to a specific modifier

#

Blight and pus harden don’t interact with enemies’ stagger reduction

unreal nova
#

Is just a havoc thing.

tall torrent
#

Enemies have generally increased stagger reduction in havoc

queen fox
#

Ok

#

And combat axe reliably staggers reapers out of shooting

broken spade
#

i wish i could put havoc modifiers in psykanium so i could test the stagger breakpoints

tall torrent
#

Yea

#

The increases stagger reduction is not for all enemies tho

unreal nova
#

You are more likely to get an update to that mod that does it instead, knowing FS.

broken spade
#

I think this is the stagger changes but idk how this shit works

#

I guess none of the specials change for stagger

tall torrent
#

Light, medium and heavy are stagger thresholds

#

U need to have enough remaining stagger (after stagger reduction) to exceed the stagger threshold of enemies to be able to successfully stagger

vital wren
#

Speaking of melee, have the gunner changes made the maelstroms with mostly melee enemies easier than some non-maelstroms now? 😄

broken spade

What's sticky, explosion, light ranged and killshot?

weak parcel
#

you have a thing called team

broken spade
#

i haven't bothered with breakpoints in havoc

everything is so tanky

killing shit is a team effort

On Havoc 31+:
PowerCycler + Sunder on powersword
or

it's gotta be sunder right?

power sword horde clear is great

Power Sword + Plasma Gun very nice for Havoc

I'd argue better than DS for generalist setup

luv me psword and working on building a perf plasma gun rn for havoc as a matter of fact.

ha.

like they're somehow some important thing

flame and frags should be enough for hordes

bitter turtle

#

you can use DS for cleanup but it becomes better to have DS to pokepoke the eyes

#

I don't think flamer is viable in havoc

#

too little ammo

bitter turtle
#

It is very viable

fiery ledge
#

Make every shot pennance will be the death of me i cannot get it to work no matter what i do

weak parcel
#

not in real havoc, havoc 20 or whatever everything is viable

bitter turtle
#

Yes

scenic ginkgo
#

Yeah I've seen Zealots try to take flamer but they seem to run out pretty quick

bitter turtle
#

Almost every zealot I played with use it on 40

weak parcel
#

you should be giving your plasma vet all the ammo

bitter turtle
#

You just don't use it on normal horde

#

Only on the elite ambushes

scenic ginkgo
#

Plasma vet is ammo hoover in optimal team

weak parcel
#

using it on elite hordes is an interesting concept

bitter turtle
#

It's like an extra oomph when inferno staff is not enough

weak parcel
#

but if you're doing that ur not doing pokepoke or knifeknife to get lower CD on relic

bitter turtle
#

So

#

When you get sandwiched by a lot of elite

weak parcel
#

idk I don't have any real arguments for why it would specifically not work

bitter turtle
#

Zealot pops relic

#

Vet throws 2 shredders which puts everything to near death

#

After relic is done then u flame to clean up everything that is probably low hp now

weak parcel
#

eh

#

Just poke

#

in the eyes

#

better use of resources imo

bitter turtle
#

That only works if you have room to kite

#

Not always the case

weak parcel
#

don't need room to kite

#

not with relics and poke poke

bitter turtle
#

W/e i don't really care to argue about this lol

#

Js most zealots I see in 40 are

#

Flamer/ds4

weak parcel
#

I'm not saying it wouldn't work

#

just better ways to use rss

#

imo

bitter turtle
#

Sure, go tell them that, I'm not a zealot player or like the class enough to bring it to 40 like the ppl I'm playing with

#

Js that's what I see

junior haven
#

this ok for a split?

weak parcel
#

wouldnt you just go 60 charge rate cuz of weapon specialist

bitter turtle
#

No

#

Plasma needs a specific spread

weak parcel
#

what's the ideal

bitter turtle
#

Idk if that one can still be optimal

#

I don't play plasma

junior haven
#

according to HoE its 69 therm/71 charge/everything else 80.

#

which is an annoying stat spread.

scenic ginkgo
#

Plasma not having a dump stat is truly a pain

#

Still rolling for my optimal after like 30 attempts

serene bough
#

what exactly does a min/maxed plasma do

#

more shots?

bitter turtle
#

I think it let's you get maximum shots before vent

#

And charge rate as high as possible in relation to that to reduce the pre shot delay

#

Is my completely

#

Out of my ass guess

junior haven
#

imma go with that one. closest to "mid" I rolled outta 50ish tries tonight.

serene bough
#

rolling a perfect plasma is the true endgame experience

bitter turtle
#

Use that one

iron marten
#

Isn't thermal res like 68 + [hidden decimal here]% but we don't know, so 69% thermal res is the safe option lol

bitter turtle
#

Stopping 70 is probably bad

junior haven
#

we'll find out.

bitter turtle
#

Idk how strict plasma bps are but I think they are strict

scenic ginkgo

I have 50 to pick from and a shit load of resources.

just cuz you're sloooooowwww

why do you have four power swords

i have 5 identical lasguns

The leaving thing, well, ppl wanted it like this

cyan verge
#

you might think so BUT

#

that's a WoW thing also

bitter turtle
#

You saw ppl celebrating in patch notes lol

cyan verge
#

in WoW you can use whatever mods you want

#

at any level

bitter turtle
#

I'm aware

cyan verge
#

and you have to in order to keep up

bitter turtle
#

I also played xiv and ppl won't shut up about it

cyan verge
#

so I am sure they're fine with it

#

yeah

#

XIV is a different thing

#

cuz mods are specifically outlawed

scenic ginkgo
#

Tbh I think people only celebrated that because the cheese made ASS mean nothing, you can't really use it as a yard stick for a dependable teammate

bitter turtle
#

Not in any practical sense they are not

#

Ppl use automarkers and mechanic solving algorithms and stuff all the time

cyan verge
#

from what I have heard they can't police your computer by japanese law and don't want to, hence they don't even have a crappy anticheat to attempt to stop that stuff

bitter turtle
#

No they just don't rly care because stopping mods would kill more than just raiders

cyan verge
#

but anyway my point is darktide clearly follows the WoW pattern, they're never gonna do anything about spidey sense unless, I dunno, maybe they start randomly caring

pastel yew
#

but it means you can play the game with music on I suppose

#

or if you're hearing impaired

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

it really should just be a base feature

tall torrent
#

DS is taken because it takes literally zero investment into melee to be able to kill elites extremely well

scenic ginkgo
#

They should honestly integrate it for that

pastel yew
#

fatshark include accessability features in game?

#

challenge impossible

bitter turtle
#

It's fair enough for the hearing impaired

pastel yew
#

fucking rsi simulator

cyan verge
#

their accessibility features are really funny

#

what is it like, 'screen shake off' and 'peril aura effects off'

bitter turtle
#

But you can't pretend being told that specialist spawned 40m away and in what direction isn't an advantag

cyan verge
#

like yay

Same with healthbars

scenic ginkgo

Like being Deaf in Darktide is the true hard mode

cyan verge
#

they are a MASSIVE advantage

pastel yew

same with health bars

If that mod was limited to 10m, fair

pastel yew

I play with health bars when testing new builds, and turn it off when not

wicked epoch

#

I dont really feel much difference in strength

tall torrent

But it’s up to 40m and that’s just pure cheese lmao

bitter turtle
#

i also use healthbars just cause

pastel yew
#

compare that to like quell macros

bitter turtle
#

but im just saying

pastel yew
#

or straight up cheating

bitter turtle
#

i dont think they rly care about competitive integrity

#

they havent pursued any esport like nonsense either

#

its just cause ppl really hated leavers

#

like REALLY hated leavers

pastel yew
#

darktide esports would be hillarious

#

the hating leavers drama was always so fucking stupid

scenic ginkgo
#

Tbh I don't think I've encountered anyone who like genuinely cheats in a meaningful way

cyan verge
#

there are situations for instance where like, target priority, right, if you don't have health bars then you might look at a group of crushers and just see 5 strong crushers, but if you have health bars you might see THREE out of 5, are on like 25% HP, so if you have the mod you kill them first, down to 2 crushers instantly, however if you don't have health bars, you might try killing the healthiest ones first, or at least, you have a random chance to hit the low hp crushers

pastel yew
#

why do you care if they've bounced from your game they're dead

bitter turtle
#

i have had games

#

where the mission went out of rotation

#

so nobody new can join lol

#

so im stuck rest of the mission with just 1 other person

pastel yew
#

I tend not to leave but if I see its gonna take unironically 10 minutes to get to me

bitter turtle
#

feels kinda bad

pastel yew
#

I'm not gonna sit there

#

it is what it is

cyan verge
pastel yew
#

or if a team mate barrels me off a fucking ledge PotSip

bitter turtle
#

also keep in mind im pretty sure my attitude towards winning and losing in this game is much more chill

#

than the avg person

tall torrent
#

I kind of like party finder feature now actually

bitter turtle
#

since i have fun even if we lose

#

for ppl that really care about winning

#

i can imagine its rage inducing if the scenario i described happens

cyan verge
#

I would not be surprised if people complaining about leavers, are like, "everyone left the games I'm in because I'm an ogryn with 300 hours who still doesn't know how to pick up a teammate when they're downed!!!"

bitter turtle
#

cant backfill anymore, so the game is pretty much lost

I dont mind the loss

scenic ginkgo
bitter turtle

yea idc myself but im just saying

#

a lot of people do care

pastel yew
#

some teams are very frustrating ye

pastel yew

also losing aint fun ig

cyan verge
#

tbh I only care because all the penances have STREAK requirements

bitter turtle
#

i have two friends and both of them get so mad at bad teammates

#

so yea

pastel yew
#

the penance streak requirements should be removed

#

theres no point for them to exist

#

the rewards are worthless

cyan verge

if they removed the streak requirements for all these stupid penances I would not GIVE two FUCKS about the new like alt+F4 bs

pastel yew

I honestly assume anyone with ass cheesed it

because 90% chance they did

bitter turtle

thats why i used THE EXPLORATOR for my title

and now true survivor

I feel like those that got it legit, know its worthless and just dont use it
