I need to go commisar on teammates and aim at their heads to order them around, yes?
my zealot, valleni. and my vetern, corpse starch
Mostly a joke since I do play with GF and a friend on VC.
simple zealot drip looks so much nicer than most
I hate a lot of the weird armor they get
lucky
Look into my loadout for drip

why are yo jealous of someone being gluten free
I'm also gay. So uhhh.
she will peg me
I used to use this
is there a vet guide on talking to women
But Moebian 53rd veteran armor is just 
commisar set on female rig making you look like a man
The leg's are just off that I dunno what to think about it yet
@tall torrent whats the official meta way to talk to girls
same with most of the cosmetics
the magazine pouches do hit
I GOTTA GRIND MAH HAVOC
masc lesbian vibes
Dukane errr, turns me on as well. Her outfit is just yes.
Idk buddy I don’t participate in the dating scene
not even in the good way 
what build can get me the most rizz
same way you talk to anyone
walk up to sister of battle in the bar
hit voice of command
instant rizz
trust me guys
Start by like not making warhammer your personality
cooked

death by psyker snu snu

god she must get so bored in there
edging the warp
Just bed them all if possible. Being a little open to poly is heh.
but maybe she's like.. divination psyker or whatever
I am a loyal puppy dog
horny ass vet chat
a brother gets lonely in the guard
because you.. s-strive for perfection right?
the female vets just peg me
dukane pegs me enough bro
Up to the point of bedding a farseer, yes.
your poor ass... they be calling you the yawning star ;-;
female vets either throw drinks at me face at the mention of cadia
unfortunately true
I just noticed you're also in the dynasty server 
Extra heretical is... wait, do I need to blam myself now?
dynasty/
once you get hit with the Branx pattern Mk. VII power phallus
you can never go back
the moaning star
Yeah. I like yuri. I knew I was at least bi when I was 8.
oh lmao
Same
i wish dukane would stop pegging me so hard
Kissing girls and such came naturally.
rolling steel is too hard
prove yourself first then chump
(not really)
you cant get rolling steel in havoc right?
rolling steel gets hard when your in a vc
but if you get it with randoms
though I did play it recently and
everyones like
no juggling the ball for the entire mission, only one objective
I don't think rolling steel would work
its better to just monkey brain
I'd lean on too easy
It would be absurd
given the heavy cc meta that seems to have formed
traitor captains with plasma pistols and mauls
iron halo
to be obliterated by some dude who gets pegged
Rolling steel, everyone gets flung off but the revolver vet who wants to die.
I mean the time limit with 2 or 3 traitor captains dropping on you would just waste way too much time
man I will say playing havoc I do actually really enjoy the boss+captain spawns
corporate overcomplication
Since I can't solo till I somehow do.
the corporatization of the imperium
maybe that will change when I hit an actually challenging level but
But then removing them and the random double bosses would be too easy
for now its cool
No
The current havoc map set is:
- Mercantile (carnival)
- Warren (carnival)
- Dark Communion (carnival)
- Clandestium Gloriana (interzone void)
- Chasm Logistratum (chasm terminus)
- Refinery Delta (hourglass)
- Vigil Station (torrent)
- Archivum Sycorax (throneside)
most of these super fun
Fuk Gloriana though. I refuse to even go near it on Damnation.
Gloriana is my favorite map
what's the end arena like on whatever the first carnival map was
Hardest two are logistratum and Gloriana
as thats normally super dead
Is logistratum hard? I never felt that way
Nah logistratum is shrimple
Only big issues are gloriana tbh
There’s a huge area of the map without medicae
at least you know pretty quick if you're gonna win or lose on gloriana
finally got full havoc penance set, time to not use any of the individual pieces together so I can do shit like this instead
Get flung off map because totally fair and balanced start.
candle armor on vet/
whats that from
you gotta shoot the barrels ahead of time
Gun clipping into grenade is the reason I stopped using that armor set
That's avoidable
6 million boom barrels and constant double poxboomers.
no joke like 50% of games I've played on that map have had at least one barrel death
What is not avoidable is the first event
thankfully it doesn't bother me much lol
I love it when a dh spawns on the safe staircase forcing you to go down the deathtrap tunnel
In gloriana
I saw a dh spawn that was practically right on someone who had respawned recently
kinda fucked up
Also a pain cos nobody does it and what can you do as a revolver vet? Just hope you can push things before ded.
Some set from a couple months ago
I can’t wait for hab dreyko havoc rotation where they spawn a DH immediately under the first drop
U have to do a parkour on the side to get around it
I honestly though daemonhosts would be some kinda condition
make fighting them an actual thing that needs to happen rather than
giga avoid
Do NOT stand where the door opens.
Remember the dh after the scan in hab dreyko
You will get pinned.
Where you had to make the jump over the railing
so much
They reworked that arwa
And have to pray for a gunner to kill you.
I do not remember that at all
yeah its tragic
Wdym
After the scan event in the middle
GF had it happen to her trying Ogryn.
the megaone?
Then it opens to a square shaped area with a medicar
Into the drop down where you have to go up multiple flights of stairs
okay I know where you mean
The old version could spawn a dh
Right in the middle of the only obvious path
I dont think I remember seeing that
The sekrit way to do was parkour over the railing (and not fall off)
daemonhosts are in such a boring design space right now
I honestly sorta hate them
wasted enemy
Isn't there two paths technically?
There is now
But before there was not
That’s after rework
Didnt mean to reply
Ah.
After rework DH sucks
yee I figured
I just want a reason to fight them
make them a chance for end boss on assassination missions or something
or
idk
cant wait until they add a 30 plasteel reward so now i can watch even more people run into them and die
To be fair DH is just, unfun if you know you can't beat and it's in an annoying spot since AI can screw you over.
I beg
If you have some two shot person, what DH?
demonhost as actual boss (perhaps with more interesting moveset) would be nice
yeah I suppose you cant really practice the dodge on console because no creature spawner
but i dont want the stationary demonhosts to have a reward at all
yeah its current movesets kinda dead
as is it's j ust a road block
Its current moveset is lol
what
You go live and cause others to deal with your shit trying to try to learn, or you play malice and bang bang what Crusher?
i dont believe you that it exists
Pretty well above l4d noooow let's be fair
The problem is that u can’t rly practice for it unless u specifically decide to suffer in meat grinder for a few hours but the meat grinder version is actually harder because there’s no lag compensation
true
Darktide is like l4d++
I wish l4d didnt feel so dated
Yeeahh
lot of nostalgia for that game
Fun arcade shooter though!
Steam workshop keeps it sooo alive
If you mean DH, I just hold block on Psyker.
nah it wont take a few hours
If it's a shit spot.
at least to get the dodge itself down
l4d not having blocking hurts
maybe for weaving in attacks
Otherwise, sneaking.
U can go fight DH yourself in meat grinder and find out what I mean
can psyker actually just hold block? is that not too much peril gen
It doesn't need blocking because imo the games not meant to be deep
There’s a pretty absurd amount of pushback
I'll also say WWZ slaps
sure will give it a go when next I'm in game
And u can’t dodge while being pushed back
Till ogryn thicc butt pulls it or the smite/shock staff Psyker shocks it.
to be clear i dont want l4d3 to be darktide, i mean that im used to blocking as a defense
never played wwz
the ogryn shield just being able to block it entirely feels goofy too
dont really think that should be a thing
that's fair
yeah shields p good
damn
i gave up on having a shield because i couldnt roll a good one before crafting update
I have a stupid +9 stam with maxed block efficiency on Illisi/moonlight greatsword.
+9 stam is always optimal 
On malice, I combo does like 3-5% tops.
Might be less.
I usually die from corruption if my team sucks beyond heck.
Did u know that before they changed deadshot, building stamina was actually directly hurting it
no? what was the deal there
was it % based
Deadshot used to be % scale from your total stamina
If u had more stamina, but since your stamina regen rate remained same
yeah I see your point
I have stam regen on that Psyker as well.
Dogshit
If there's no safe corners.
deadshot definitely fun though
kinda goofy with automatic weapons but I guess thats the point
I sorta hate the lasguns dont get surgical
I'd be so happy
stam regen is super nice yeah
But yeah, I don't suggest seriously doing the +9 stam, you WILL be paper.
I normally run.. 2? curios with it
Its the onslaught equivalent for crit build basically
I cant really remember
And if you even lose a tiny bit of toughness doing it, you will die.
nah because onslaught is a waste to get any effect, the tiny stam loss isnt really a big deal
U spend so much trying to make it work you’re kind of better off spending those points & slots on better things
Nah deadshot actually costs more
if you're already running focus target its 1 more
ditto with ws I guess but that sounds not great
You need stamina curios
You kind of need stamina recovery talents (at least 1)
You kind of want stamina regen rate curio perks
It ends up being a lot more investment
Than just 3~4 points
Deadshot on recon. My stamina go where?
Normally veteran doesn’t even need a single +stamina curio
I like having stam
most of my favourite weapons rn have heavy push attack use
feels good to have that extra amount
nice for reviving people
nice for getting about
idk I dont really feel another health or toughness curio would give me much
PA is not as dependent on stamina amount as most people think
Is just nice if nothing deletes toughness.
PA is mainly dependent on stamina regen delay in response to attack timings
I mean it depends on the situation
having more stamina is going to mean you can do X + push attack
if you're down to no stam
then yeah its all delay
but I dont really find I'm often down to 0 stamina in melee when its being managed
It’s usually all delay
Funny slow tank speed psyker just noselling till shotgunner says fuk you.
vet does feel significantly better with one delay node
Unless u somehow run max sprint efficiency on top of +stamina
Which is just a waste
might unironically run sprint efficiency with the combat blade... for maximum zoom
I think it’s only necessary for knife
I run stam+stam regen on vet since deadshot critical for faster boom.
No other melee weapon needs it
the chain axe push attack is super useful
power sword yeah not relaly given you dont often have to use the combo
I know surgical is enough but.
That’s more attack speed than stamina
You actually can’t execute it very fast in succession
it's gonna usually kill whatever you hit with it though
I am also biased because
thrust attacks
always cool
chain axe definitely needs attack speed
It’s ok
I've tried without and it feels so bad
But don't power swords 4 hit crushers powered up?
Using the swing swing mark?
Not if u don’t have sunder
Sunder allows u to cleave through carapace
Again, you need sunder
I only have the +2 hits or so.
this is where power sword is best though since it needs like no support
with mk6 you can push attack cancel > light 1
to kill a crusher
not sure about your weapon stats or whatever else
but at least when you have one with decent stats that sthe case
good one to get capped
Unlock power cycler, brutal momentum and sunder asap
yee
Every other blessing not really relevant
I'm already using power cycler.
I hate that hey gutted the power sword itself
rather than just
removing power cycler
and balancing from there
what did they nerf
such a stupid blessing
when it was busted
Too ex to gamble with transcends cos rng bricked too many guns for me.
it used to have 3 swings base
and maybe some stat changes
power cycler gave 6?
but thats the memorable change
I have no idea, I didnt have power cycler at the time
but it gave it more for sure
it was insane
Go to 400 with perfect. End at 500 with 75 ammo 65 mobility.
Or some other bad combo.
giga build
honestly I think the scriers gaze set up is less fun than other ones on psyker
you lose a lot of that cool psyker flair
ive been enjoying tf out of scriers gaze
I'm a simp for kinetic flayer + wall shields
i never used to use it
You shoot stronk.
And ammo gremlin.
i have mostly been using it with purgatus
thats why I run kinetic flayer
i use scriers gaze with the fgs
kinetic flayer saves you a lot of ammo
also means you have BR for dealing with other things
like free decent boss damage
definitely not as strong of a set up, but enough to clear auric maelstrom easily
and this was before psyker shit got buffed
not sure how much changed though as I dont really follow psyker changes
Moonlight greatsword yes.
mmh mmh
Is funni.
the kinetic flayer changes are good
imo though it was a super slept on node
everyone just saw that it can proc on any enemy and assumed it was trash
even though it barely ever did when it was relevant
I mean, is just a better crit on a stupid CD.
Mhm.
Bonus if it's the mutie about to hit you and just ragdolls.
Yeah.
which means you can effectively cheat out free stacks
man the kill elite with BR is so fucking funny
stim, wall wall
BAP BAP BAP BAP BAP BAP BAP
You get to be all, nope, no specials here randomly.
Since they go boom while you are calling out on VC.
Since malice means no real packs bar patrols.
It also gains the damage perks (and some blessings) from ur weapon that activates it
For example
If u have uncanny (5) and slaughterer (5) on your force sword
Smite+the shock staff.
That gets applied to the kinetic flayer proc
Does that still work?
Can confirm only the latter.
brain rupture is just a nother one of those things people really unfairly beat on
Yes because uncanny is coded as total rending while weapon is in hand
And slaughterer is coded as total strength while weapon is in hand
Damage vs armor perks also apply
Big big boom cos whack hordes.
I dont mind it in a vaccuum
It needs to be nerfed
like as a trade off for a weapon to be good into carapace
but it combining with other things is dead
Cos run Slaughterer and Deflection.
It needs to be like 20% max and only melee rending
I'd also say its more "fun"? than most blessings as its one of the view that can change up how you use the weapon
20% max would be
worthless
Uncanny is even better for faster stuff though.
idk I dont really think the vet rending talents are that good
I think just 10% to be lazy is fine.
In the context of an attack that deals 0.6 ADM vs carapace, +20% rending would make it do 0.8 ADM vs carapace which is still a 33% multiplicative increase to damage
33% increase of 0
is not a lot
0.6 ADM is not 0 damage
Already have the big one, the elite one.
You’re horribly misinterpreting what I’m saying
handcannon is aight
idk I dont mind the revolver exploding armor
its just being able to reload it for free is dumb
given thats the primary drawback of the weapon
It’s not fine on knife
Shovel needs base damage bumped up, it shouldn’t have to crutch on uncanny
Still slow.
idk if I had my way carapace as a whole would be changed
its way too impactful against some weapons
And I run the quick reload if 1 shot left.
and not at all to others
with little genuine trade off
ogryn health is also giga low
Those weapons need to be changed
Since usually shoot 4 times, throw krak, reload, dead crushers.
lol
but it would require a lot of change
at least crushers would feel like more than a vision blocke
r
eh I dont really think its fun to engage with generally
the game really went in the direction of
lots of not really all that threatening enemies
vs actually making those enemies impactful and balancing from there
although the capacity is fun, and it feeds the power fantasy
What do you mean? Stares at wall of gunner.
its not good for gameplay
My shield goes poof so fast.
With the exception of duelling swords and uncanny strike being excessively high rending I think carapace is fine where it is
thats because you're new, and playing on console though
Naw, just controller.
gunners are only really threatening in havoc because of the condition that makes em giger
I have it on Steam lul.
Turbo controller for my poor hand.
does getting pinned by a dog count as taking melee damage?
me recreating the metal gear revengeance meme with the heavy sword
I basically think it went part numb after my zealot weeklies.
Price of knife3/DS4
A weapon that does extremely well against anything that’s not carapace is imo ok especially when used on a class that has other options for killing crushers
true, though it's ranged options for doing so are kinda
I’m not against having more ranged anti-carapace options either
very limited in selection
Still brutal in damnation for me.
though not in strength
Gotta learn how to dodge their shots
I mean I say this as someone who (I'd like to think) is pretty good at the game
I can, only on Zealot.
generally gunners are kinda meaningless unless you run right into their face over aggressive
I just run out of steam on everything else.
you could try weapon specialist more maybe?
This is basically the only reason to add a longlas imo
Also part 2 of why my hands ded.
gives stamina and better dodges
There can be more
I wish you could assign a dedicated melee heavy key
melta gun on zealot.. melta gun on zealot.. melta gun on zealot..
Just keep poking heds.
I do think its fine for weapons to be bad into armor types but
it does feel like the system gets whacky at points
some weapons are giga useless into carapace and nothing should ever just be that worthles
also flak armor feels like a straight downgrade a lot of the time
I've got you in my sights.
bro take your shirt off you'll live longer
semi unrelated but
I also really dont think a long las would fit the game
unless it had some kinda canted sight which I doubt it would
Too small for actual snoopers.
some areas it'd feel good but generally yea
Like the scope will feel awkward bar a few maps.
I think its more one of those people went for cool aesthetics than anything else
I mean the weapon customization mod lets you add scopes to weapons
Unless it's toggleable.
and they all feel absolutely dreadful
Cos sure, a big boom gun, but how to deadshot ads with 12x zoom?
Unless it pierces so much, you just hipfire and lul.
To be fair, most iron sights in this feel meh.
true
I'm not against regular sights but
the magnification ones are rough
even the lowest is still not ideal
I only find the revolver actually usable at times.
And I'm still better off turning my monitor's built in crosshair on.
It's basically a perma cross with dot in middle of screen.
More visible than the motion dot and makes aiming for psyker stuff better.
Motion dot becomes invis when b&w as well for me, so it does bugger all for the thing it's supposed to do anyway.
Then again, a perma flashbang (B&W to me is like vent purge.) means you see nothing anyway.
It's just me and my eyes though, so yeah. Is another reason to not go higher diffs since I will be forced to go wounds to deal with randos picking up grims.
Or grim corruption resist...
Sorry, I kinda ramble alot when I feel comfortable. Then just go hide after.
no need to apologise 
its just sorta dead hours given americans mostly aslep
and euros off to work
9am where I'm at and runnin on no sleep
I mean I'm working hard
I ramble at 2am and am employed, i just barely sleep 
this shit got me pissing my pants
anyone have issues with havoc game saying player in party ineligible?
Collect your havoc rewards
They need to load in maybe?
it worked after i restarted
but now i have another issue where it says new game version and we can't play together because he managed to download it and i don't have an update LOL
Hey Everyone, We’ve got a small change going out today. This is specifically for XBOX. However this update is rolling out to all platforms to ensure each platform is on the same version for cross play support reasons. Hotfix #57 (1.6.4) is currently rolling out to players. Changes Changes to logging for Xbox specific freeze and disconnect iss...
There you go
nah they posted smth on the forum , it's just an xbox fix they had to apply to other platforms too
So one game on my Zealot and my hand ded again. Heh.
can i get a full meta, pre dueling sword, veteran build with all the bells and whistles?
like voc, meta aura, meta keystone, meta talents, meta gun and meta melee (anything except dueling sword and heavy sword cuz yuckers)
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9dad8fe8-e501-4302-8e1f-2413a4e79236
This is my very original havoc 40 set up
i don't even mean for havoc, because those builds tend to be a lot different. i'm looking to get ASS so i can also have the original top drip
Thing is plasma op, just boring.
I believe meta was specifically requested
Seriously. If you can deal with the delay every shot, it just decimates everything.
Yeah. Just telling them if they want OP, just run plasma.
It's the ranged DS4 as some friends joke.
i hate plasma with a passion but it's still lesser than ds4
Alternative would be a Lucius Helbore MK IV
I got my tuned where 3 headshot crits blams a crusher
Everything lesser melts in 1 headshot
I personally hate the charge up even for 'quick' shots. And the Hellbore is the same.
Then grab a revolver
I have one.
Then use it
I do.
Heavy las? Is nice but straining on my hands.
Then get the auto fire mod
Isn't Mk II just better?
Dunno, but they all feel fine imo. Just lack the BOOM the revolver or Bpistol has.
I've been comfortably using it in 20+ havoc
1 taps most things to the head. Infernus lets me stack fire on things that have the armor buff
Mk II one-shots a lot of smaller enemies too (and bigger ones if you use MF), saving some ammo, and also stacks infernus faster and I think has higher dps
I guess Mk X might be better if you're doing deadshot
I mostly tried it to lvl to 20. XD
Cost of firing lasers
Probs overkill for revolver but still.
And save a ton of ammo
But heads go boom just... yes.
Your ammo economy go poof
Unless mauler, they get body shots.
I feel that las is just the way to go for high level havoc in most cases since Shock Trooper just lets you print ammo with survivalist
Eh, survivalist still works to a degree.
I kinda want fire team for a breakpoint though.
But ammo gremlins.
Is dreg ragers.
Takes 1 crit and something else.
The amount is so tiny.
If I shout before, they just die.
You using Focus target or WS?
Nil.
What is keystones?
To be more exact, the only one I can take is tag, but I can't really tag without getting killed.
I can choose to move or stop moving to hit the tag button.
Without getting... what is your tag bound to?
Up dpad.
Oooooh, console
I have dodge on bumper.
I got tag bound to my mouse 4 button so it's a simple click of the thumb while aiming
If I do tag.
It means crusher pack and I'm either dead soon or panicking hard.
Since I can kill maybe 3 before going down.
Depends on how lucky I get with fast crits.
I imagine your team is also helping?
Yeah, I know that feeling
Depends on if she's dealing with crap on her end.
Feels tedius when the you don't have the squad playing with you and have to hope that the randos know how to handle them selves for more than 10 seconds
Cos 1 crit 1 normal head kills a crusher.
So can shoot two down and krak a third.
Yes, malice/heresy.
It takes 3 shots for Damnation.
Assuming no other buff sources other than VoC.
Cos you know, possibly no teammate to help.
Also, the Powersword can wound a fourth, but I can't 3 shot with it yet.
Needs at least 4 powered hits.
Also, it sucks at dodging.
Which is pain.
I know from moonlight greatsword lul.
Just get breeze in your face.
RIP max charge.
What's that? You want to rip that horde in half? Here's a random trash mob to tap your ass mid swing to ruin the entire thing
Was honestly the worst thing they did to power sword
Ah yes, the random backstab.
Especially on big slow weapons that suck at dodging.
Is like, are you telling me to just revolver the horde then?
Yes, enjoy your second charge going poof as well.
And now you are swarmed wishing you had wrath and slaughterer instead.
Cos they only need to hit to work lmao.
Simply activate block cancel push attack L1 the crusher
Most of the time, the crushers ignore pushes.
I only ever saw them even stagger a little to the moonlight GS tbh.
And it's still not enough.
Mostly due to being more block focused on Psyker and dodge focused on Zealot and Vet.
I just can't Ogryn. I would force myself to if I could at least make a female Ogryn.
But the playstyle and how bad it is at just being too big and eating so much more gunner shots just feels bad.
Like I said, not all the time for me.
IDK if it's just lag, but it's NOT consistent in normal play.
I'm just dead once out of dodges, especially with how bad the PS dodge is.
That's why I dump cleave targets
I thought the Devil Claw was bad, but you can at least gamble parry.
To be fair, even with +25 flak, took forever to kill chaff.
And considering I normally kill my hand with knife zealot which kills the same in 3 light hits on a 6.
But isn't that good for hordes?
Though I guess since you can't strafe in a circle, it's not as good.
Cleave targets affects number of enemies attacks can go through.
Powered mode makes it better plus you're using brutal momentum.
It doesn't add anything at that point so may as well take the dodge distance
Ah. Was wondering about sunder.
I'm using the one that has mostly horizontal slashes.
Just to make sure I’m not being a schitzo, dump stats on gear is largely the same between classes yeah?
Warp Resist for Psyker. But that's about it.
Psyker’s dump stat is warp resist on the warp weapons?
Does it really make that little of a difference?
More or less.
You rather mobility than Warp resist.
You want to get peril faster to be able to quell anyway.
Well that’s damn good to know. I haven’t really played my psyker yet
And you want to edge 80-100 mostly.
Mostly been playing my vet and playing my zealot on the side
So always dump Warp Resist.
Is that to strengthen peril related nodes in a build?
Only on the Voidstrike, you may want to drop Quell speed, since that thing kinda generates peril FAST.
Yeah.
That’s the circle of death one yeah?
You get more damage the higher it is.
No that's voidblast
Staves also tend to have things like, more crit the higher your peril and such.
Voidstrike is warp dodgeballs
Good to know
Was thinking of starting to level my psyker this week, so that’s really valuable info
Tbh, Trauma, the one with the crazy knock down, is usually the best, but I hate it cos it's the most annoying to aim.
All of the staves are viable yeah?
For now, yeah.
Yep
Havoc is trauma or Inferno.
*voidblast not trauma
Yeah it used to be trauma
Still working on getting perfect rolls on all weapons on my vet, so can alternate between that and lvling psyker
As for melees.
Thankfully almost done, just need a bistol and ilasgun
You either pick DS4 or Demios/Illisi force sword.
Dueling or force swords for it
But that's havoc minmaxing.
Knife not good on psyker?
You can use it, but then it's purely for mobility.
So it doesn’t have the damage it has on vet and zealot?
Absolutely not
I mean, unless you do some funny scryers melee...
But at that point, just go moonlight greatsword.
That moonlight does look awesome Ngl
Err, Force greatsword.
I play a lot of souls ik what you meant lol
knife mobility really is a godsend
Well and armored core as the pfp might suggest
i struggle to play w/ other melee weapons bc of it
Pick the one with the funny overhead heavy.
Honestly it does remind me more of its ac iteration but that’s a tangent
It's the better of the two marks.
Mk3
Is it about as strong as the relic sword in practice?
Because relic legitimately feels fantastic to play
Relic Sword falls short against carapace
sometimes you want low warp resist so you can get to shriek faster
But I lack the skills and mechanical skills to use it right so heh.
Other than that it's phenomenal. It's just below average against carapace
Yeah it’s not as good on carapace as vet sword, but flamer, bistol, and bolter are great options there
Yeah it's only an issue when your team makes you solo 4 crushers
And honestly there’s not a ton of guns I like on zealot
Where team vet?
Usually already dead. That's my luck on havoc at least
True.
Mostly because Plasma go boom.
What crushers?
Fellow Vetbros, what do you guys take to Havoc 30+? I had a friend take me to a 40 for the first time and I was constantly running out of ammo for my plasma and my Rashad was doing jackshit. I survived but it was pain 
Apart from getting gud, any advices or recommended setups?
I am guessing duelling sword is a must?
You know, plasma really has way more ammo than it looks like at first
Had a guy running autopistol veteran on havoc yesterday. I was just confused
If it's 1-10, it's like, sure whatever.
I’ve seen some people get work out of power sword, but your dodges need to be on point
Havoc 22
Yeah it was weird
Unless they are doing pure suppression stuff.
He was dead half the game
But still, enemy ded is best CC.
I see, and what do you guys run on ranged havoc?
I don't really play it, and tbh. I drag my Psyker instead since the only guns I have are Revolver, BPistol and Recon...
And from what I know, only the recon is viable, lul.
Because burning is good there.
Though other lasguns are probs more ammo efficient.
Other lasguns struggle to kill anything there, other than helbore, then you have ttk issues
From what I’ve seen the meta is more or less infernus recon, typically 14 for cleave, and a lot of shredder grenades
recon xiv is an awful pick
elites got their hitmass buffed last patch and then you stack hitmass buffs from havoc
right, so i got the animation for getting my resources from the weekly havoc chest
but i didnt get the actual materials
youll scarcely cleave a bruiser let alone any valuable target
Is this a known bug or am i just being fckd over by the commissar lady?
Ah. No clue, only did up to 17 but game decided to cap me at 14.
The only thing I'm kinda curious is, Moonlight GS cleave even works?
Masteries
GS doesnt use hitmass values to cleave, it just goes through shit
Would reccomend trying it if you havent (not in any havoks after 10)
think of it more like the flamethrowers than a projectile
(it also goes through walls so)
INF cleave?
yes
Because I never really know how it worked in the back.
Just funni big crescent laser boom.
recon xiv has 3 base cleave, at havocs that gets you ... two groaners and poxwalkers per shot and nothing else
you're paying a premium in ammo and taking a hit to damage per shot value to achieve basically nothing
Oh right, forgot hitmass was buffed. Not my pick typically admittedly, but heard a lot of ppl liked it
I had to run a mission before I got mine
Recon Mk VIc is the variant for Havocs for how ammo efficient it is vs the other two
What became of the clown
which one(s)
i'm a fan of it outside of havoc too tbh
Im looking to run the vigilant autogun. Recommendations?
I recommend killing enemies with it
2 burst is my favorite, but if you want something that feels more like an IAG, 3 burst
if you want something that feels like a DMR, the semi auto
personally i think the 2 burst is a good balance, with excellent ammo economy
recoil isn't great under sustained fire though
Yeah I was leaning towards either the Single or Double shot. Im thinking like Head Hunter/Deadly Accurate maybe? Possibly Surgical?
i'd go with HH/DA personally, but @faint beacon might have ideas
and he's the real Agri addict here lol
vigilants also have ghost, which is a very competitive option
it's pretty straightforward, you just play as you normally do 🤔
esp since you absolutely need headshots on vigilant
It has been a while since I gave the blessing a fair shake. Always used to feel like it didnt work when I expected it to.
Same it's my fav variant. XII is still fun for hosing down Crushers in Aurics with maximum hate though
funny how highest level havocers would rather wait half an hour for lvl40 to show up rather than let dude 3 levels below join
Clown is still here but I really loved Arcane and haven't had a chance to watch the newest Digital Circus episode yet because holidays are hectic
Do you lean into Crit/Weakspot damage with your perks or go for the +25% options?
also, i was wondering, is there actual difference between lvl 30 and lvl 40 havoc? The amount of modifiers is the same
crit/weakspot damage perks are bad
they only apply to the bonus damage while enemy type and armor type applies to the entire hit
I never do, but Ive also never looked into it so I figured I'd ask
since vigilants suffer against maniac, which are a kinda important armor type to be able to deal with
no, you'll either take headhunter or surgical (on singleshot)
yes, and your perks are dictated by your blessings
and no weapon needs 5% crit chance
nah
As an example imagine your gun hits for 100 damage on a non-crit, 200 damage on a crit. With crit damage perk you get +10% but only on the bonus 100 for a total of 210. Say the target is a Mutie and you used Maniac. +25% applies to the total so you get 250
especially ones with blessings that go up to 100% crit chance as is
off the top of my head, i use crit chance on infernus reconlas
there's prob a few others
I need 1.5 stamina so I can run and pay gunners no mind for longer (this is a joke)
not common though
hell headhunter blessing on 3burst is a constant 40% crit chance
Crit chance is solid on a few weapons but generally you get more mileage from the +25% to X perks
the only one I can support is blazing voidblast
Likewise, with the ammo perk its basically 5% more ammo.
you aren't exactly ammo starved with recon tho, especially with survivalist or shocktroop
it's mainly to proc infernus
^
i don't even take surv on reconlas most of the time
Also likewise
i can kinda see it for high poxhardened
Surv Shock Trooper Reciprocity Recons with 5% crit perk feel nice for being able to spray beginning to end without ever fearing ammo even in ammo hungry squads LOL
but ehh? i'd rather just buff my infernus damage
and 25% perks makes the burn do 25% more damage
yes, but none of them matter besides unyielding
and perhaps maniac
but i prefer unyielding on the second slot
i mean, that goes for all enemies with infernus on, outside of havoc
all that matters is that you stack enough so that it dies
and havoc is weird
very different set of considerations there
and given the conversation started with vigilant autoguns, i don't think we were talking about havoc lol
Is the vigilant autogun good ?
gale's prob gonna crucify me, but the truth is? eh
it's aight
How use vigilant autos?
What's the dump stat for plasma nowadays?
I've seen them used either for horde clearing or for elite sniping depending on the build but i dont think im educated enough to really tell you which one's better
Vigilants arent full auto
Dont think Ive ever seen a vigilant used
Oh i swear there was a full auto autogun, my mistake sorry
There is thats the infantry autogun
Well there's a build with infiltrate apparently
Oh right
Nice
Lmao thanks
Ill be running my 60 charge one
I got pinged in here what am I summoned for
@novel belfry wanted tips on agri ix
Well I know Path suggests Surgical/DA but that’s if you’re playing more passively
If you play aggressively and use it’s less ADS zoom to its advantage run HH/DA
based, that's what i run
Cause then it let’s you constantly run around and pop elites and specials in the head
i'm really not a fan of the high zoom on the others
HH/DA is just better for a Run N Gun constant aggression type build
If you’re wanting to min max more patience do Surgical
That's an unfortunate ping LOL
Yeah xD
oops sorry kcl
I think she
