Take lethal explosion puncture boltpistol

#

Lethal explosion increases your shredder aoe

#

The gun itself is passable in havoc

gilded wraith
#

I'm not good enough with ammo conservation for that yet.

bitter turtle
#

Fair enough

gilded wraith
#

More looking for something to pair with the laspistol that didn't need Trench fighter.

bitter turtle
#

Power sword is an idea since you're mobile with laspistol, maybe

gilded wraith
#

Not a bad idea.

unreal nova
#

Wait, are you saying even kraks get bigger with that Bpistol blessing? Heh.

gilded wraith
#

They do, but really shines with shredders.

#

Stacks with Tinkerer.

unreal nova
#

Still, time for some stupid builds ever since that was the first maxed gun I had on the Vet. Though I ran it more like a poor man Revolver.

gilded wraith
#

Out for blood procs off grenade kills as well.

undone jungle
#

I tried making lasguns work but the dodge of laspis is too invaluable

#

Still tweaking it since I usually am forced to play Zealot because nobody wants to run the fucking corruption healing aura KEKW_ogryn

#

I tried smokes for a while and they absolutely do work but shredders are also very invaluable vs elite spam

#

You can dump all right side talents to get enough points to spare to path for smokes if you want them, but with no melee talents you'll have to use mk6 psword which is fine, just use your laspis for dodging

unreal nova
undone jungle
unreal nova
#

The improv crates thing.

undone jungle
#

You're joking right

unreal nova
#

No. just wishing there were more crates.

undone jungle
#

You can go several Havoc games without seeing a medicrate

#

Ah yeah then I agree

unreal nova
#

Since most Zealots go loner.

undone jungle
unreal nova
#

Unless premade.

#

Since I know a friend runs Chorus and corruption removal.

undone jungle
#

I just play the token aura heal and whenever I don't have to I play Vet

unreal nova
#

I mean, even the toughness DR is better.

undone jungle
# tall torrent What I’ve been running

That's fair. I just value Charismatic highly because I want to maximise aura and VoC on my team in Havoc since I actually give a shit about them for once 💀

unreal nova
#

But I guess the mindset is just don't get hit ever.

tall torrent
#

I also think O4B really shines more than CK in havoc

#

Getting toughness from every enemy is more useful when you could get ur toughness obliterated by a single stalker

undone jungle
#

That's true

tall torrent
#

And One Motion’s faster swap speed allows u to drop frags faster

#

Which is very useful

#

5% move speed is also better than 1 stamina

undone jungle
#

I'm probably gonna switch over to that but keep most of my bottom the same

#

Yeah 5% movement is huge

tall torrent
#

I don’t think BID is particularly strong for havoc

#

Breakpoints are all over the place

unreal nova
undone jungle
#

Suppression pathing is interesting I wonder if it's worth on laspis

undone jungle
tall torrent
#

2 shots shut down entire wave of shooters

#

First shot lower accuracy
Second shot force cower

bitter turtle
#

I'm taking + suppression on my tree in 40 too

#

Idk if it really does much for recon but

undone jungle
#

That's pretty good. My teammates are usually very shooter blind so I've been using the laspis mostly

#

Ammo is such a pain in the ass in Havoc so it's hard for me to drop it

#

I'd happily use plasma over laspis if I had an EK psyker on my team that could shoot for shit

tall torrent
#

Actually it does like nothing for laspistol lol
Born leader it is then

undone jungle
#

Wonderful lool

bitter turtle
#

Try recon 6 thumbsup_ogryn

#

I can hose hordes down and still give ammo to teammates

tall torrent
#

U can’t force cower with laspistol easily

undone jungle
#

Does recon even get ghost I don't remember

bitter turtle
#

No

tall torrent
#

No

undone jungle
#

I think I'll pass

tall torrent
#

It doesn’t do much

bitter turtle
#

Doesn't do anything for recon either?

tall torrent
#

Well

#

If it takes 45 shots to cower maybe 3 shooters

#

I say it’s not worth it

unreal nova
#

I just think Las weapons just have generally low suppression.

bitter turtle
#

The one time I actually care about suppression

unreal nova
#

Unless it's Scab gunners, but they cheating.

bitter turtle
#

And the node is still garbage

undone jungle
#

Tbh I usually get annoyed when shooters are suppressed while I'm using laspis

bitter turtle
#

Guess it's born leader yeah, fte is unusable with infil

tall torrent
undone jungle
#

I just point and click all 40 of their heads and walk away with more ammo than I began the fight with

bitter turtle
#

My only problem with laspistol is it feels very very lopsided of a loadout if you take knife or ds4

tall torrent
tawdry perch
#

Need my fellow loser vets to tell me any use using anything but the duelist sword like what else is on its level

tall torrent
#

Actually @bitter turtle keep KTHD

#

For recon

bitter turtle
#

O ok

tall torrent
#

Imma test laspistol again

#

See the video above

undone jungle
tawdry perch
undone jungle
#

Also no need to run dodge melee on the best dodge gun

#

If you're good at it you can swap to dodge

bitter turtle
undone jungle
bitter turtle
#

Bc you're relying on psyker purg staff anyway

#

For hordes

undone jungle
#

That's psyker

bitter turtle
#

Yes

#

And you have to fight as a team on 40

#

Wandering off even a little is throwing

undone jungle
#

I wish my teammates got that memo

bitter turtle
#

You want your melee to kill armor so most people just ds4 for that + mobility

#

When horde comes it's purg staff or throw in flamer on zealot too if purg isn't enough

undone jungle
#

Yeah for a premade that makes sense sadly I only have 1 friend good enough for high Havoc so I am Forced To Endure

bitter turtle
#

I don't pre-made

#

Pugged 40 since week 1

#

Ppl should know what they're doing at that rank is all

undone jungle
#

Maybe the pubs in EU are just mentally deficient

bitter turtle
#

Also

tawdry perch
#

Get more luck out of american matches but the ping is insane

bitter turtle
#

Recon is nice to help hose down the hordes a little if it's necessary

#

It doesn't need very much ammo

tawdry perch
#

Hate when fellow british people talk to me on comms

#

Isn't the slower firing recon the best

bitter turtle
tawdry perch
#

We're in the vet class chadgryn chadgryn chadgryn

bitter turtle
#

You can see it's pretty ammo efficient

#

I can give ammo to team pretty easily

tawdry perch
#

Damn that's quite good

bitter turtle
#

But rhe middle one is my favorite

#

In havoc

#

Ammo efficiency is best on 6

low shale
#

How should my talent tree build?

tall torrent
low shale
#

13

tall torrent
#

Don’t worry about that yet

#

Get used to melee mechanics

low shale
#

Just don't use points?

tall torrent
#

That’s not what I said

low shale
#

I had already went to the shredder frag cuase that seems interesting
And I wanted the increased damage below

low shale
tall torrent
#

Don’t worry about deep build crafting yet

pastel yew
#

yeah especially when you're loads of points down compared to the rest

#

also pretty much everything you pick at the level you're playing at will be fine

pastel yew
#

because it'll not let you learn the game properly

#

if at any point you have a get out of jail free card to unpunish yourself

#

you never really have to consider what went wrong or how to get out

#

especially early on learning game mechanics is so much more important

undone jungle
# low shale How should my talent tree build?

At your level I'd just slowly path towards this talent in any way you see fit since it's very handy to have. Don't worry about finalising your build until you're 30 just experiment with whatever looks cool and you find enjoyable.

pastel yew
#

kraks are a good shout so low level though

#

low level chaos spawn is gonna fuck people up because you dont really have tools to deal with him especially when new

#

I think thats been the worst part of levelling new classes, watching people insta die to chaos spawn then having to 1v1 it with 0 damage

unreal nova
#

Also much harder to tag with kraks. And people not going into melee if someone gets grabbed.

pastel yew
#

you 100% should have 10% xp on all your curios though

#

the faster you can level to 30 the better

#

low level skill tree is shit

#

and not being able to grind gear properly till 30 (unless they changed how the stat gen works) is also giga lame

unreal nova
#

Well, if you like to gamble to 500, you technically still can.

#

The cost though.

tall torrent
#

All weapons have max potential so u can craft a gold 500 godroll pretty early on as long as u have mastery for that weapon

unreal nova
#

Is more, the RNG from 180-500... Any level cann ruin the god roll.

pastel yew
unreal nova
#

I have had guns go from 80 ammo to 75 ammo and 65 mobility.

pastel yew
#

so higher cost to actually get it up

tall torrent
#

And it doesn’t cost that much more

pastel yew
#

but in regular mode low diff

#

you get very little

tall torrent
#

Compared to before the U&L update where u physically cannot craft anything before lv30

pastel yew
#

yeah I mean this is an improvement

tall torrent
#

It’s not hard

unreal nova
#

They just need to fix the bug.

pastel yew
#

even if it is more time consuming for me to craft weapons now which is kinda annoying

tall torrent
#

That’s maybe 14 malice runs lol

#

Or 5 damnation runs

pastel yew
#

14 runs is a fair few

#

I have no idea on the numbers but I dont think you get that much plasteel in regular no?

#

for damnation that is

tall torrent
#

U also don’t need gold 500 weapons for malice

pastel yew
#

mmh

#

true

unreal nova
#

But that's 14 malice run that can be ruined cos the RNG dictates you get a max stat switch on your item.

pastel yew
#

not building for malice though :kwke

tall torrent
pastel yew
tall torrent
#

U can get like 400 plasteel easily in malice

pastel yew
#

as typically people here are giga active players that want the perfect roll

tall torrent
#

Heresy goes up to 600 ish

pastel yew
#

but really having slightly scuffed stats will be functionally identical on most weapons

tall torrent
#

But ~1400 diamantine is a hard ask for most new players

unreal nova
#

It's Diamantine actually.

tall torrent
#

3k plasteel is 3 damnation games

#

1.4k diamantine is like 5 damnation games

#

It’s not equal ratio

stable shoal
#

Is chainaxe Bistol a good loadout for auric ? I’m having a really easy time in damnation with it. I just don’t know the build for it ngl

unreal nova
#

Thing is, not everyone can really do Damnation stable.

tall torrent
pastel yew
#

I was running that had a lot of fun

unreal nova
#

Especially not newer players.

stable shoal
unreal nova
#

And then you get into a loop of, it'll feel bad if I try harder diffs without a maxed weapon, but it's tiring to get a maxed weapon combo.

pastel yew
#

yeah the chainaxe 1 hit on crushers feels so goooood

#

until you play with a dueling sword player

#

who kills a crusher and then the crusher you're chain attacking...

#

in the time the animation takes

tall torrent
unreal nova
#

And yes, i know a top 1% can basically do Auric Damnation with the starter grey.

tall torrent
#

Heresy is ~200 diamantine ish?

stable shoal
tall torrent
#

So that’s 8 heresy runs per weapon

pastel yew
#

you need to run ws

#

for the attack speed

#

or it physically cannot keep up at higher level play

stable shoal
#

Ofc I got that

#

I ain’t that dumb lol

pastel yew
#

but once you've got that it's pretty good

unreal nova
pastel yew
#

it's just in that camp of weapons where when times are easy, its amazing... and when its just you and times are hard... it's not as hot anymore

unreal nova
#

Depends on the roll.

tall torrent
unreal nova
#

Like an example, a crit shot can 1 tap a reaper on malice, but takes 2 shots, 1 crit for Heresy.

tall torrent
#

What

unreal nova
#

You can build it for 1 shot if you have a maxed gun.

stable shoal
tall torrent
#

What weapon

unreal nova
#

Revolver.

pastel yew
#

but yeah the build feels super thematic

#

I just wish the chain axe got some love

#

some better move speed or dodge better

stable shoal
#

I wish chainsword had armor pen like the axe ngl

pastel yew
#

and better attack speed so it doesnt feel limp against poxwalkers

unreal nova
#

And no, I know there's no point in revolver on Damnation.

#

Too many bullets to kill to be worth.

pastel yew
#

yeah regular combat axe is probably always gonna be better than the chainaxe unfortunately but

tall torrent
# unreal nova Revolver.

Malice reaper is 2500 health
Heresy reaper is 3k health

Really not a big difference, especially when u have agile engagement up

pastel yew
#

the one shot rev attack is fun?

tall torrent
#

Revolver is only not good in havoc lol

pastel yew
#

revolver is giga in damnation

stable shoal
#

One shot rev will always live in my heart as the goat

unreal nova
#

Thing is, my unoptimised gun hits for 2.7k.

pastel yew
#

just run exec stance

unreal nova
#

Crit headshot, reaper.

pastel yew
#

worry about breakpoints never again

tall torrent
stable shoal
#

Dumpstat for chainaxe is mobility right ?

tall torrent
#

It’s not specifically tied to “I gotta have a max power weapon”

pastel yew
#

uhh defences

stable shoal
tall torrent
#

“Damage stat” doesn’t impact damage as much as u think

pastel yew
#

you dont wanna dump its already stinky mobility ye

#

defence just makes your push attacks cheaper

tough tiger
#

Chainaxes on vet is kinda oof, better used on a zealot

pastel yew
#

and something else equally forgettable

#

even though the push attack on the mk12 is really really good

#

the stats worthless

stable shoal
#

I have a chainaxe with everything 80 besides mobility

pastel yew
stable shoal
#

It feels really good tho

unreal nova
pastel yew
#

same on zealot

pastel yew
stable shoal
#

But shouty

Playing malice with torrent and it and just shoot everything durp.

pastel yew
#

swap to the mk12 as soon as you can

stable shoal
pastel yew
#

with the mk12 I run headtaker + thrust since it lets you one shot crushers with the special

stable shoal
#

I fell asleep before I could max it

low shale
#

Which combat knife is good

pastel yew
#

lmao

low shale
#

Mk3 or Mk 6

pastel yew
#

though I think its the mk 6 people prefer

#

since it has better horde clear

#

personally I dont like it though, mk3 the goat

#

stabby stabby

#

I might have the mks reversed

low shale
#

I'll try stabby

unreal nova
#

Personally. 3 is better if you can headtap consistently on everything. 6 is better horde clears.

pastel yew
#

you can headtap with the 6 it just is way more push attack heavy

#

where on the mk3 you can save your stamina for push attacks in other situations and be less reliant

#

iirc

#

at least

#

I havent really dont much testing with the mk6 so just what I've heard from others mainly

serene bough
#

note to self: queue havoc 7pm for people running 40s

unreal nova
#

Well, 3 is like DS for horde clear.

tough tiger
#

Mk6 u punch and stab spam for single target dps

it only reduces enemies`stagger reduction by x10%

paper trellis

got the other trouble child. If anyone else is going for this one, don't use the double barrel or combat shotgun, they are bugged for it. Got it with revolver

pastel yew
austere mica
#

No idea what you mean by bugged considering I got it the first time I tried using that

paper trellis
#

only missed a single shot with double barrel and it didn't pop, looked online and apparently there were a bunch of issues if you were getting multiple targets per shot

#

also apparently the vet smokes after that achievement, because the award chestpiece has a pack of smokes strapped to the shoulder

pastel yew
#

hmm

#

I made sure to be point blank when I fired

#

so maybe sometimes the pellets fuck up accuracy if they all miss

Call it the commissar's execution for not doing well

unreal nova
austere mica
#

I mean

#

They can just go down a second time

#

And actually die to corruption

unreal nova
#

You mean third time.

#

If you get actual newbies, it's usually on uprising while half asleep or malice.

#

Cos you can now find lvl 6 ppl in malice doing newbie things.

austere mica
#

I would actually fall asleep in anything below damnation

#

And I get close in damnation as well

#

Havoc has done horrible things to my ability to enjoy this game

rigid pilot
#

Auric HiSTG is Soo easy compared to havoc nonsense

unreal nova
#

To be fair, I'm already half asleep when starting. Just don't want people to suffer a half nodding off person trying to get sleepier.

unreal nova
#

And it only gets worse when under stress.

austere mica
#

Havoc has ruined me

unreal nova
#

Bonus, my reflexes got shot so hard, it feels so different when it was 15 years ago.

#

Where I can dodge instagibs on the most paper things with blinks and such.

austere mica
#

Anything less than half the specials and elites on my screen doesn’t really elicit a response anymore and it’s fucking strange

unreal nova
#

With lag.

#

With 350 ping lag.

#

I don't even know how my teen self does it.

tiny junco
#

VoC lvl 30 Recon Lasgun lvl 28 havoc, why is no one accepting me to level 30 havocs?

austere mica
#

That depends on many variables

unreal nova
#

Recon Lasgun maybe? Everyone expects a plasma.

austere mica
#

Whats the actual full build

#

And what’s your actual level (if you know)

tiny junco
#

Don't know actual level, but, Im fully built to run a recon lasgun.

austere mica
#

That doesn’t really mean anything

unreal nova
austere mica
#

Send a picture of your talent tree

tiny junco
#

Imme a sec.

unreal nova
#

Even in D&D I always ended up making stupid OP boss solo chars, that could be explained away lorewise.

#

I mean, how do you get a 147 damage a turn cantrip spammer.

tiny junco
austere mica
#

Ok

#

So

#

I understand now

unreal nova
dry cloak
#

Aye

austere mica
#

That build

#

Kinda sucks

unreal nova
#

It's third party btw.

tiny junco
#

okay, got a better build for me to run?

austere mica
#

Not atm, was about to take a shower

#

I also don’t know how to build vet for havoc

unreal nova
#

Just so minmaxed, the GM basically is like, I'm just banning you from saving up for certain items lul.

tiny junco
#

...anything you advise?

austere mica
#

Whole different ballpark than standard play

unreal nova
#

And all that item is is add +7 to 8 hits a turn.

tiny junco
#

Right.. which is why I went with a VoC build, it restores toughness and grants temp invinc

austere mica
#

Yeah but the specifics are highly questionable for normal auric stuff

#

Let alone havoc

unreal nova
#

All i know is, plasma is core and that's about it. People will drop you if you roll up with anything else unless it's 1-10 havoc.

#

At least when a friend told me since he plays higher havoc with vet.

austere mica
#

I hate plasma too

tiny junco
#

I mean, I actually DONT mind playing plasma.

#

I just like the ability to handle large crowds with ease.

unreal nova
#

I just physically know i can't without being carried.

tiny junco
#

Fuck it, i'll try a plasma voc build.

austere mica
#

In havoc

#

Recon can’t do that

#

Enemy hitmass has outscaled its cleave

unreal nova
#

Not even revolver can pierce that much.

tiny junco
#

I mean, actually it's not too bad, I can down like 6 ragers before I start having to run away.

austere mica
#

It misses all its breakpoints

unreal nova
#

Figured.

tiny junco
#

What do YOU recommend for vet in Havoc?

unreal nova
#

It already misses damnation breakpoints without going specific stuff.

tiny junco
#

God forbid i'm showing up with a Lucius. I'll straightup just not do it.

austere mica
tiny junco
#

Shit.

#

Guess it's plasma build time!

austere mica
#

I’ve only played zealot and psyker in havoc

#

Ask path when they are around

unreal nova
#

I have no clue either, as said, only technically did 17 on Psyker and got dooked on by the game to 14. And I can honestly say I was struggling already.

austere mica
#

Havoc is definitely not accessible to people who cannot do auric maelstorms regularly

#

Or at least anything past 20

unreal nova
#

I figured.

dry cloak
austere mica
#

I still find it hilarious the amount of people who are mad that havoc is hard

dry cloak
#

A content for people for whom auric mael is easy

#

For me aurics become hard sometimes

unreal nova
#

Is just, stagging hordes is helpful, dome is always nice. I'll be underperforming but it's not full deadweight at least. But anything higher, don't think I'll be able to do much.

dry cloak
#

I know my skill and it isnt sufficient for 20+

austere mica
#

I do think havoc is really cool for actually forcing you to build around it and play as a team

unreal nova
#

And then you still get loner stealth zealots leeroying.

#

Because they aren't the host.

austere mica
#

They don’t make it anywhere

unreal nova
#

Some even bait and switch.

dry cloak
#

But stealth zealots dont learn

austere mica
#

Because stealth is already shafted by its pathing in normal play

unreal nova
#

They use a decent chorus/corruption removal build and last sec switch.

#

I mean, it's still 'fine' in sub 10s, i guess. Makes everyone else suffer unless they are also solo types.

And uh single shot vigilant for DMR

wicked epoch
#

that can actually hit stuff

radiant chasm
#

I think 2/3 of them have no reason to brace, and then the 3rd gets a big RPM boost from it

wicked epoch
#

lmaoo

#

whats the diff with an autogun and a las anyway

unreal nova
wicked epoch
#

all my life i never touched an autogun

#

at all

tiny junco
#

Just changed to a plasma build, here's hoping I get accepted into some havocs.

radiant chasm
#

3shot vigilant is also good if you can stand burst fire

radiant chasm
#

Cause it’s an extremely consistent dmr in damnation

wicked epoch
radiant chasm
#

Even more so than the inflas series but that’s imo

unreal nova
wicked epoch
#

that doesnt apply to the shredder auto pistol tho

radiant chasm
#

Shredder is just bad

#

Infantry autoguns are automatics and behave like a normal ads shooter gun

#

Brautos are also fully auto and do more base damage but have worse aim and finesse ratio (crit/weakspots) iirc

unreal nova
radiant chasm
#

Vigilants is separated between two burst fires (3round, 2 rounds) and a single shot DMR

forest breach
#

How do you make marksmans focus fun to use?

radiant chasm
dry cloak
radiant chasm
#

Bolter loves focus target too much

unreal nova
radiant chasm
#

Imo

radiant chasm
#

Anyone who says that is just being irrational

#

It’s mid and powercrept

#

But it’s not shredder, it’s completely auric viable

unreal nova
#

You need the hold and shoot mod for it.

radiant chasm
#

Nah, i like that more for the mk3 vigilant

unreal nova
#

Cos it feels bad without a turbo controller or that mod tbh.

pastel yew
unreal nova
#

True.

pastel yew
#

without full auto a fair few weapons in this game are just rsi sim

tall torrent
unreal nova
#

Which I feel like I'm getting from knife/dueling on zealot already lul.

pastel yew
#

yeah its a shame the melee version of full auto (keep swinging) isnt very good

#

better than nothing though

unreal nova
#

Charge with fury and poke things funni.

#

But yeah, finger killer and bad since you do want heavies on melee.

unreal nova
wicked epoch
#

Its sad that its true

pastel yew
#

I will add though

unreal nova
#

Turbo controllers aren't allowed on Xbox.

pastel yew
#

"just use X"

#

isnt really a good argument

#

you should primarily compare the strength of weapons to the challenge set by the game

#

or the number of good, viable weapons becomes a tiny fraction of what it is

wicked epoch
#

It can work, but it needs to have a reason to be chosen

pastel yew
#

fun? aesthetic?

#

something different?

#

idk I think a lot of the strongest weapons tend to be the least interest

#

ing

unreal nova
#

Why most go plasma late, only thing that really does anything in late havoc. Cleave, damage.

austere mica
tall torrent
pastel yew
#

arent all the las weapons and the bolt pistol also p good in havoc?

unreal nova
#

Most things you find fun are stripped away there.

pastel yew
#

but I dont think a laspistol is gonna be super comfy to use there either

tall torrent
#

Laspistol is only 266rpm

#

It’s really not fast firing

pastel yew
#

for sure

#

I cant exactly say the same Shrug

austere mica
#

4.43 clicks per second

unreal nova
forest breach
austere mica
#

I can barely hit that

pastel yew
#

it's not that its too fast to hit

#

its more that you're going to be doing it

#

for like 25 minutes straight

#

with not a lot of down time

unreal nova
#

The thing is so sensitive with it on, a mild brush on the trigger fires.

pastel yew
#

its the same reason I sorta struggle with the heavy sword with its really long held heavies

#

fatshark dont really give a shit about accessability but at least pc players have mods

unreal nova
#

Will still kill your finger. I know.

wicked epoch
#

i got gloryhunter and bleed on the bolt pistol

#

shits kinda fun

pastel yew
#

glory hunter bp is good yeah just competes for a lot of other stuff

#

does it proc on the bleed kill though/

wicked epoch
#

my build focuses on toughness and kills

austere mica
#

I’m still sad DA loses to lethal prox puncture

wicked epoch
#

so i think it justifies

#

my build regens toughness on either melee, shout or kill

#

so any sort of toughness regen

#

goated

pastel yew
#

you dont need da for dog breakpoints anymore

unreal nova
pastel yew
#

but without focus target or maybe? marksmans focus you need it for ragers and... something else

#

I forgor

wicked epoch
#

hows this idea for a commissar build

#

pure RP tho

#

shout with res

#

bolt pistol and power sword

wicked epoch
#

mostly support and horde clearing

unreal nova
#

I know I can mod, but if mod breaks....

pastel yew
#

I hate it so much

wicked epoch

so frags instead of kraks

id wanna use chainsword, ill be real

it feels like its outshone so bad

man the rez shout is like

so what if i can do the rev attack

its so

everything I actually want from voc

I mostly derp in malice and sometimes you just don't wanna deal with manually picking ppl up.

pastel yew

impactful effects rather than constant spam

wicked epoch
#

what chainsword do i even use

pastel yew
#

I wonder how fast you can get revive speed

unreal nova
#

Cos that lvl 6 psyker went boom for the fourth time.

wicked epoch
#

because im so used to abusing the MkVI power sword

#

that spams lights

#

the cadia 13 isnt for me

#

grr

pastel yew
#

idk I'll be honest I've barely used the chain swords since they got nerfed

#

the 1h ones at least

tall torrent
pastel yew

they used to be a little goofy silly on their m1 spam

unreal nova
pastel yew

anti synergy

tall torrent
#

If it did plasma gun + frag would be insanely busted

pastel yew
unreal nova
#

Those eat so much ammo for nothing.

#

Just use a recon and is better.

tall torrent
wicked epoch
pastel yew
#

plasma uses too much ammo?

wicked epoch

rager and above

#

im cooked

radiant chasm
wicked epoch

when theres 500 ragers

#

chainsword wont do none

pastel yew
#

yeah the chainsword elite clear feels not good

#

and its shredder feels p useless

wicked epoch

atleast powersword i can fighting retreat

broken parcel

the power sword is just so much better

i hate that fact

I use shredder auto on 90% of my builds

radiant chasm

Shredder pistol?

narrow frost
#

its amazing

pastel yew
#

I thought you meant the frags

unreal nova
pastel yew
#

not the autopistol or whatever

#

isnt the autopistol giga suppression

#

dont you enjoy suppressing things?

radiant chasm
unreal nova
radiant chasm
#

You can ammo gremlin all you want

pastel yew
#

they should buff the shredder autopistol

#

by

#

giving you a second one

#

you hold in the other hand

radiant chasm
#

There is like 1200% ammo per map period from crates and pickups

unreal nova

But, but the gunlugger wants to shoot everything as well.

Lads. I needs yalls opinion.

I know Plasma Gun is rhe meta. But how does a Shotgun build in Veteren sound? Ass or nah?

pastel yew
#

they'd likely be giga with doubled but

radiant chasm
#

They should buff shredder by reworking finesse

pastel yew
#

I just want some dual wielding CRYING

tall torrent
radiant chasm
pastel yew
#

I probably wouldnt run shotgun without exec stance

radiant chasm

Combat shotguns are mid but they use the same blessing that makes dbarrel good, manstopper

Finesse is the last thing a braced gun needs

broken parcel

Just curious cuz once I start my Vet grind.

pastel yew
unreal nova
radiant chasm
#

Listen

pastel yew
#

double barrel is fine

#

but the regular shotguns just feel bad

broken parcel
#

I wanna have a shotgun build.

radiant chasm
#

They should separate crit and weakspot ratios

pastel yew
#

with exec stance they feel good

Interesting.

unreal nova

And can actually one shot.

tall torrent

At least malice/heresy lazy build.

broken parcel

I'll have to find a good shotgun build somewhere then.

pastel yew
#

theres like

broken parcel
#

Cuz I really don't wanna play Shout/Plasma build.

radiant chasm
#

So weapons aren’t divided between “high finesse and therefore good if they can abuse crit and weakspots” or “low finesse and needing base stats to compensate or be trash like shredder”

pastel yew
#

the shotguns should feel wayy meatier up close

broken parcel
#

That shit looks boring.

pastel yew

they basically just get some funny boss damage

unreal nova

pastel yew

its just playing osu

unreal nova
#

Why is the revolver just doing more?

#

I know is handcannon.

pastel yew
#

revolver is fine imo, just ws giving it free reload is dumb

broken parcel
#

I was not expecting a Osu reference in a Darktide server.

radiant chasm
#

separating crit and weakspot down the line, means you can have 4 classes instead of 2. “Base stats” “crit weapon” “weakspot weapon” “true finesse weapon”

unreal nova
#

But slug shot point blank reeeeeeeeeeee.

radiant chasm
#

Is crit

pastel yew
#

but I still hear the big black when I drift off to sleep PANIK

broken parcel
unreal nova
#

Boltpistol technically hits for less, but you don't need to reload every shot for the effect.

#

And your frags get boosted.

radiant chasm
#

But buffing weakspot doesn’t make sense for shredder

#

But crit does

wicked epoch
pastel yew
#

the combat shotguns should have just been their special ammo types as a toggle

#

then balance them around that

wicked epoch
#

if i have res shout and this

#

hows that

pastel yew
#

rather than what we go

#

got

radiant chasm
#

It has crit blessings, it has a “good” crit chain

pastel yew
dry cloak
#

Sgotguns should have like ramp up within 6m of the target up to like 1.5x

wicked epoch
pastel yew
#

fury of the faithful used to be so fun with the shotguns on zealot

#

because you could dash and explode ogryns

unreal nova
pastel yew
#

then they nerfed it ;-;

broken spade
radiant chasm
#

If it crit for say, an extra 1.0 ratio, i think that would be a good start for making it a unique weapon

broken spade
#

res shout with the revive speed node

dry cloak
#

Like 25% of ammo pool is your special ammo reserve(separate)

unreal nova
#

At least you now have a mid range super stagger shot.

pastel yew
#

also they need some

dry cloak
#

And you just load it up to full

broken parcel
#

I should ask that too.

Is a shotgun build better on Vet or Zealot?

pastel yew
#

extra base ammo

#

god damn

pastel yew
#

just because vet has access to other better options

wicked epoch
#

would this be useful for a chainsword

radiant chasm
tall torrent
pastel yew
#

unless you wanna run exec stance the shotty damage feels rough

broken parcel
#

I get to be racist and xenophobic with a buckshot.

#

I see.

radiant chasm
#

It’s more balanced for combat shotguns but it’s still vet

unreal nova

zealot only because by comparison its not as bad a pill to swallow

only for the knife

1 stack of bleed really isnt much

Only use case for serrated blade is a mercy killer+ 1 knife

and thats being applied to waaaaaaaaaay more targets

But u get to 8 fast

You just don't crit as much without more effort on it on other classes. But still god mobility till you accidentally dodged off the map.

#

Don't ask.

pastel yew
#

🚬 I definitely didnt

#

accidentally lunge off a ledge, miscalculating because of the heavy attack speed and falling to my death

#

w-what kinda idiot would do that

unreal nova
tall torrent
#

Top right is the best starting path for zealot

pastel yew
#

yeah the other paths have some rough choices

#

also no throwing knives

#

throwing knives based

unreal nova
tall torrent
#

Better toughness sustain in melee
Better crit chance through bleed
Gain toughness on dodge (crazy good)
Gain high TDR on crit (also crazy good)

pastel yew

And throwing knives are the best special sniping tool in the game

unreal nova
pastel yew
#

WHAT

#

gross

so gross

unreal nova
#

Yep.

pastel yew
#

are there no other control schemes?

tall torrent
#

There are

pastel yew
#

also are we living in the year of our lord 2024

and controllers still cant just rebind keys

unreal nova
#

It's like that for most of them.

But most controller players are too lazy to re-bind

unreal nova
#

Also the one with bumper to dodge.

steady wolf

hollow knight moment

unreal nova
#

Which is a must unless you like jumping to the side and dying

tall torrent
#

The bigger problem is controller doesn’t have dodge & jump separation I think

pastel yew
#

I choose to eat shit when I accidentally jump instead of dodging chadgryn

#

I definitely am not just lazy and dont want to change it

unreal nova
#

You trade making tags stupid as well.

#

Up on dpad btw.

pastel yew
#

this really is not a controller game

GL moving and pinging.

i imagine controller ranged meta is very different

tall torrent
unreal nova

Well, controller on PC can abooze the auto tag mod.

tall torrent

I think they patched that out tho

when was the last time you saw a controller player actually pop off?
