if you’re holding a position, one at your feet is fine but when pushing then 2 ahead of the squad are more viable

umbral parrot
#

It's fun tho. Been pro-smokes since forever!

#

Wish they popped faster tho

#

seeing a smoke vet on a high havoc difficulty is about as relieving as seeing a river in the desert

ONE LAST THING I HATE when my HAVOC team is like "WTF, i died in 1 hit"

#

In other words, they're saying they never played HAVOC long enough to know what's what lol

wooden moat
#

yup lmfao

#

would attempt to help but currently unable to do so

umbral parrot
#

No worries, i'm doing pretty good. Got a good team on me. Just venting a bit lol

wooden moat
#

even then I happen to be an xbox player anyway

umbral parrot
#

It's all good. Not all console players are bad. Yesterday's dream team, there was one in my team

#

OGRYNS

#

You think Smokes are good? Shield Ogryn is soooo awesome

#

Like, anyone who rejects Ogryn is a f-tard!

wooden moat
#

lemme tell ya man, nothing is more badass than single handedly holding an entire chokepoint as a shield ogryn

umbral parrot
#

Like, i know people are complaining that Ogryns have been nerfed. Yea, whatever. They have. But a good Ogryn is a good Ogryn.

wooden moat
#

then again they kinda nerfed one of his more fun playstyles

umbral parrot
#

lol

Smoke enables ogryn to do a lot more in havoc

umbral parrot
#

Yea, i'm a smoke user. You can imagine how good we did.

#

The two other zealots who were decent players jsut spammed book. lol. They knew they were support.

#

YOU KNOW WHAT

#

That's what makes a good HAVOC team. People knowing their shit.

wooden moat
#

smoke basically disrupt’s ogryn’s main threat allowing them to reach their full potential

unreal nova
wooden moat

#

Smoke allows ogryn to get into melee to bully ragers & maulers before shotgunners get to shred ogryn into pieces within 2 shots

umbral parrot
#

I don't hate people who lack skills. I just dislike it when people think they're tough shit and trying to do HAVOC when they can't even live on Damnation.

tall torrent
#

Get shot by havoc pus hardened reaper enough times and you’re bound to learn things

wooden moat
#

honestly should get back into shield ogryn

unreal nova
#

I'll just be honest and state you'll totally be carrying if we are trying to go to 25.

I tried the Lasgun a bit, am i missing something but is this thing just, meh?

#

I also tried the recon lasgun build and i was also left wanting compared to Plasma and Bolter

wanton vapor
#

Lasgun is definitely a bit meh. Isn’t really cut out for the hectic atmosphere of the higher levels

Crit lasgun with Ghost is excellent for popping heads in a room but i find myself getting tunnel vision too hard being focused on shooting and not the enemies flanking me in melee range lol

Take awhile, shouting and shotgun help

umbral parrot
#

Pretty much. I have a video of my Psyker just 1v1ing a DH with a Daemonsword. No nuke, just straight up tapping it until it dies lol....

#

But that's near unlimited stamina for you.

I wish Vet can do the same.

teal canyon
#

Psy-sparkheadstyle is OP but its fitting

unreal nova
#

yes, I found out how bad the dodge on it is.

teal canyon
#

They should buff melee on bigman tho

unreal nova
#

I hate it.

teal canyon
#

Ogryn clubs should deal 400 dmg on light and 600 on heavy attacks to feel ogryny

umbral parrot
#

They're alright atm.

#

I feel like they just need more build diversity. Literally it's all HH and Gunlugger.

#

Pick Axe, Slab Shield, and that's the only melee you need. Anything else and you're an idiot.

teal canyon
#

If i dont oneshot poxes as ogryn its aint right

umbral parrot
#

Huh..... lol.

teal canyon
#

Ogryn should have a perk that nullify dogs and mutans, allowing him to break dogs neck after first bite, and wrestle mutants without taking damage

#

That would feel bigmany

unreal nova
#

Put it in the tank tree for a talent.

#

Watch as everyone reeee.

#

Wait, isn't it just FnP?

umbral parrot
#

Yea

#

You push the dog off of you with certain FnP talents.

#

I mean, i'm alrigtht with the dog pounce. My most played character is still Ogryn (Vet is getting close now). I was able to do solo damnation as an Ogryn.

#

It's their ability to force a position that makes them amazing!

unreal nova
#

Ah. I personally think it's just skill. Oggys are just harder to play, but insane skill can always compensate.

umbral parrot
#

I just don't like playing them ever since they nerfed FNP

#

I don't like playing the Pickaxe too much.

unreal nova
#

But why? Everyone says it's the worst keystone already?

umbral parrot
#

It was awesome before! Back before they nerfed damage resistance.

unreal nova
#

Oh. is this the removed ranged resist.

#

Then buffing gunners?

umbral parrot
#

It also only ticked down when you took actual HP damage.

Now if your toughness gets so much as a love tap, FNP ticks down.

unreal nova
#

If so, yeah, can see why.

#

Just why though.

umbral parrot
#

I'll prob have to find it in a second. But yea, Ogryn sucks.

#

Just go HH or Gunlugger.

unreal nova
#

It's what the big boy was for, go in, smack thing, buy team time to kill important stuff.

umbral parrot
#

They can still do that. But don't get any other weapon other than Pickaxe, slab shield and from what i'm hearing, P-Maul.

unreal nova
#

That's boring though.

umbral parrot
#

** I KNOW**

#

That's why i'm here.

unreal nova
#

At least I can do stupid things like lvling guns on Zealot and melees on Vet.

#

You got so much choices to toy around.

umbral parrot
#

Yea. I'm pretty unorthofox with my vet build. People think i'm crazy with Crit Chance on Power Sword already. It's awesome! x3

unreal nova
#

I mean, I'm going towards ignoring the charge up with certain choices.

#

Just because it keeps turning off because random backstabs.

#

And I can't dodge with it.

umbral parrot
#

I love Power Sword so much. That, and Tac-Axe

#

Tac-Axe and Lasgun for Guardsman immersion.

Powersword and Plasma for sweating hard lol.

#

OH And another thing i dislike about #ogryn-class, there is no good Youtube Channel that focuses on Ogryn.

Everything i learned on my own or Ogrynomicon. And even then, reading is no where near as good as example and experience. Besides, Ogryns can't read!

#

AHHH i'm going to calm down now and brush my tooth!

Melk is offering me a 79% damage duelling sword loregryn

suboptimal

warm bolt
#

Other stats seem good too but 76% penetration coupled with 79% damage is making me seethe

#

Move that 1% please

warm bolt
unreal nova
warm bolt
#

Nope, all 80% except thermal resistance

#

Which is 60%

#

BUT it's actual stats are 40% damage and 24% thermal resistance

#

What are ideal stats for duelling sword actually?

unreal nova
#

Is more of a joke since someone is saying you need a specific number to hit 8 shots.

#

But more is pointless.

tacit sonnet
unreal nova
warm bolt
#

Duelling sword doesnt have defence im pretty sure

unreal nova
warm bolt
#

Oh

#

Sorry im illiterate

unreal nova

Which you'll never use.

#

It's cleave dmaage or something on the other two.

Wasnt't there a DS that's sort of decent at horde clear

unreal nova

Nope.

Unless you keep getting zombos funneled in a straight line.

warm bolt
tacit sonnet
#

So I'd rather dump defence in case I use it

unreal nova
#

Naw.

#

If you want the cleave thing, you need to dump mobility.

#

IDK which style is which.

#

If you want the 2 and keep the cleave, you need to dump mobility, I think.

#

Yeah, just checked.

#

5 is the one with def.

tacit sonnet
#

Defence/mobility. Just forgot which one had defence, thought it was 2 for some reason

unreal nova
warm bolt
#

Thanks y'all for the advice! thumbsup_ogryn

#

From what i got the sword i see is close to optimal so imma go with him

tacit sonnet
#

So dump mobility for MK2, and cleave damage for MK4

unreal nova
#

Honestly, just use till you find a perfect.

#

Then pray hadron doesn't screw you over.

#

Stares at her ruining my shotgun ammo .

warm bolt
#

Hadron is nice she would never do that right

unreal nova
#

79% ammo and 61% mobility.

warm bolt
#

staregryn ...right?

tacit sonnet
#

How could Hadron screw you over?

warm bolt
#

Oh wait she doesnt determine stats anymore right

unreal nova
#

It was a perfect 80/60 before.

warm bolt
#

Was it before lock and loaded update?

tacit sonnet
#

well, she still does

unreal nova
#

Upgrading with her can mess it up.

#

It was after.

#

I joined when Humble choice offered Darktide/

tacit sonnet
#

But it's only important for psykers who want warp resistance as low as possible

#

So it's more of an excpetion

warm bolt
tacit sonnet
#

I still haven't found a pefrect 20% warp res purgatus

warm bolt
#

Well im scared now

unreal nova
#

And yes.

#

That 1% means 1 less ammo in clip.

#

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

#

Considering it's a shotgun.

#

It's a big deal when you have a blessing that buffs on repeated shots.

#

Also had 2 boltpistols ruined.

warm bolt
#

Hungry Hadron stole the 1 slug

#

Went for extra rashuns

unreal nova
#

And no, I don't care if shotgun bad.

#

I liked it on my Zealot.

#

So reeeeeeeeeeee.

unreal nova

It was for emergency mid range pop sniper thing. But tbh, bolt pistol does it but more usable.

Except SHE ALSO BRICKED THAT ONE.

“The human eye can’t see past 30fps.” angymorrow

Playing 30fps cap is a nightmare once you are used to 120+.

Okami felt like hell to play but is gud game so struggled through.

#

I can see the lag.

#

In sense.

#

And not even adaptive sync helped.

rain badger
#

I’m just joking around. Having smooth high FPS will always be better than 30-60 cap FPS IMO.

unreal nova
#

60 is fine is you have a 60hz screen.

#

Not good if you have a 144hz.

#

Could be fine on a 120hz with sync.

Does it lock at 30? Or is it just you are used to the higher fps

Hard locked 30.

I wonder if there’s a mod out there to fix that

unreal nova
#

To preserve the physics.

Oh no it’s hooked to the frames. Well shit

unreal nova
#

Removing it might lead to ugly things.

#

Or stupid things like taking double damage.

bitter turtle
#

mechanics tied to fps is funny

#

i played sao fatal bullet at one point and realized only after beating the game that the enemies were moving, attacking, and shooting at 2x speed than they were supposed to since it was meant to be played at 30 fps

swift river
unreal nova
#

Basically Valkyrie Chronicles.

#

30 fps is normal.

#

60 is hard mode.

#

You take double the hits from all sources but deal normal 1x.

#

Due to the way they caculate how many shots you take.

#

At 60, it's twice.

bitter turtle
#

sekrit hard mode

swift river
#

Weird to think that this and Helldivers 2 are built in the same engine…

bitter turtle
#

tbh

#

after i played like over half the game like that

#

turning it back to 30 made it feel boring

#

so i just kept it at 60

unreal nova
#

It's like dooksouls, but everything is ranged and you rng dodge.

Also, I know. I played at 60fps.

or one baker girl with a rifle

its the baker with a rifle

in case you didn't realize

Also IDK if I rather Selvaria or Jane. If you knew, you knew.

Also, the baker girl thing is legit.

She is op as all heck.

selvaria blobsad

Spam all the ??? You want, but by gods, I know she's kinda the mc...

But you can technically solo with her.

#

Tanks go boom, troops go blep.

#

Though when I played, I was more use everyone carefully so nobody dies.

#

Except getting a specific someone downed to unlock another unique char.

#

You can rescue them before they bleed out to prevent their actual death.

bitter turtle
#

i dont remember anything except the basic story beats at this point, played it ages ago

#

never played any of the games after either

unreal nova

I mostly remembered THAT ONE SCENE.

Valkyria chronicles looks fun but I don’t know where in the series to jump in

unreal nova

# upbeat snow if youve got a problem speak, dont laugh

well, first of all, picking a melee weapon for monstrosities doesn't make much sense. Chainsword gets gimped by getting locked, and all monstrosities will throw you around that close, and you cant dodge during the lock.

elite maniac has a harder time reaching dreg gunner bp

why not flakelite?

crisp oak
#

Why not unarmored flak to just kill gunners

unreal nova
unreal nova
#

After all, things are constantly going downhill anyway.

bitter turtle
rain badger
#

flak and unyielding for bolt pistol. Flak is the most common armor type in the game, and unyielding helps with reapers, bulwarks, and monstrosities.

bitter turtle
#

justify flak elite to me first lol

#

theres no point in taking flak if it doesnt do anything meaningful

#

\might as well ask "why not +2 stamina"

paper trellis
upbeat snow
#

a lot of stuff has flak

bitter turtle
#

yes

bitter turtle

but if you kill those things in 1 shot anyway

crisp oak
bitter turtle
#

then what would be the point of overkilling them

upbeat snow
#

gunners are elites

crisp oak
unreal nova

You add stuff to meet breakpoints.

bitter turtle

that's the point of elite OR unarmored

crisp oak

Ah thought it did

bitter turtle
#

both can meet the bp

vestal widget
#

wrong gunner type

bitter turtle

but you need different methods to do so

Because funny.

faint beacon
bitter turtle
#

i run elite +maniac on mine and can 1tap both gunners, both flamers, and crit 1tap ragers

#

with unarmored instead of elite you don't need as many boosts to do the above, but you lose the crit 1tap on ragers

crisp oak
bitter turtle
#

in my case i need run n gun active

or skirmisher

#

yes i run that shit

or agile engagement

rain badger
bitter turtle

unarmored just does it straight up i think

Carapace + Elite on Rashad changes it to a 2 Shot on crusher head taps

agile engagement based

you can actually just test what perks make a difference

bitter turtle

Crushers count as elite?

its unarmored vs elite for the 2nd option

i must have missed it

#

ok

faint beacon
bitter turtle
#

why do you ened flak to 1tap scab gunners

#

they are squishy as fuck

200 less hp than dregs

Can swap it out for Unarmored but I’d rather have a more universal armor type

#

That’s just me

what is prec again

bitter turtle
#

flak doesnt do anything except let you bodyshot maulers better (???)

faint beacon
#

Precision Strikes

crisp oak
#

Ah

bitter turtle
#

universal or not it doesn't really matter when every flak target already dies in 1 shot anyway

upbeat snow

are maulers less armoured on their upper legs?

bitter turtle
#

minus maulers

faint beacon
#

Shotgunners, Ragers, Maulers

crisp oak

#

youre shooting mauler legs? XD

bitter turtle

but i dont make it a habit of spamming shots into maulers with bistol in the first place

are you skeptical?

unreal nova
paper trellis

#

Of course

rain badger
#

personally, if I am running bolt pistol, I am doing it as a CQC vet, so breakpoints aren't my worry. Mulch hordes and quick swap to BP to tap the heavies or ranged with the bonus agile engagement damage

frag + WS is the best way to play bistol

#

but you can do what you'd like

#

i just cant advise you then

upbeat snow

its a commisar cosplay

Still frags, arent that expensive to pivot off into

yeah

run n gun amazing in auric

sadly not that great in havoc

just because running around everywhere is now suicidal

#

in most cases i dont think revolver cares much about suppression at the range you're shooting it at

unreal nova
#

I just use Lethal prox since I run it on Zealot, lul.

bitter turtle
#

you tend not to get into gunfights as much as mixed up in melee combat with revolver builds

#

and quickly swap to revo just to pick something off

crisp oak
#

I basically just use my bistol on gunners

paper trellis
unreal nova
#

Mostly to shoot and suppress things before stabby stab.

crisp oak
#

And flamers

unreal nova
#

And take out anything important.

bitter turtle
#

the suppression isnt a big deal

#

you can just pop into cover and back out if it really is a problem

paper trellis
#

True

bitter turtle
#

its not like you're standing outside trying to hold down a stream of fire

#

for something like automatics and whatnot, where suppression can be annoying

unreal nova
lament vessel
#

"Annoying" can be such a severe understatement KEKW_ogryn

crisp oak
#

When I have an autogun in my hands I feel my inner ferrari peeker opening up

unreal nova
#

Shoot two crushers ded, reload. But only for heresy and below.

paper trellis
#

I don’t think I’ve ever used it like that. Always just pull it out, quickly line up the shot, and go back to melee or shoot something else before going back to melee

#

Trying to mainstay revolver rather than using it for quick burst damage seems counterproductive

vestal widget
#

if i'm being lit up by a gunner or smth i just wanna snap to and kill him with the free bullet as vet, if i'm suppressed it's annoying.

or trying to pick off bombers or something when my team is awful and let a gunline form round the corner

#

i just find suppression really tilting

unreal nova
vestal widget
#

yeah but sometimes i don't want the build tax point

#

so i pick bistol instead

unreal nova
#

And then my shot gets dooked cos random backstab, lul.

vestal widget
#

also on zealot etc

bitter turtle
#

i think the effects of suppression are actually

#

in a way

paper trellis
bitter turtle
#

worse on bistol

#

tbh

#

you do sway less

#

but you still do sway

#

but unlike revo you actually need to hit a headshot lol

paper trellis
#

Maybe it’s just due to how I play, but I never notice much difference with it on

unreal nova
#

It only happens if you get gunnered and such, I think.

#

Your shots get less and less accurate.

paper trellis
#

Part of why I hated the crabwalk so much, prefer constantly popping in and out of close range

unreal nova
#

But then again, I play malice where you don't insta die from being gunnered.

paper trellis
#

And if it’s a gunner line I’m typically using a grenade to scatter them

unreal nova
#

So I can just aim and BLAM.

#

Or VoC and BLAM.

It was in Psykers section also

You know, the gun that’s only actually very good on Veteran being in… fucking Psykers section for some reason

unreal nova

I mean, revolver and bolt pistol scryer's.

faint beacon

Tbf those are universally just good on all classes

#

VA is generally just very good on Veteran cause of it’s good Ammo Econ and talents that pair very well with it

bitter turtle
#

i might be wrong sionce i dont play zealot

#

but

#

i feel like bistol is probably meh on zealot but idk

#

They’re playable on Zealot and Psyker but the Maniac ADM you instantly feel

Do you know about the feature I’m shocked they still haven’t fixed

Lethal Prox is like a lukewarm blessing on every class besides

Lethal Prox + Shredder Frags is pretty fucking insane

I probably need to revise the talent tree though. Rashad + bistol with frags/VOC.

balmy flume
vital wren
#

Power sword would probably be easier on the talent points but I have a couple of other builds using it so would like to stick to the rashad probably. Specialist seems nice for the reload I agree.

Once you've beaten it and gotten TS why not try stuff, after all?

cus them im trolling the people i join

if its a bad build

paper trellis
vital wren
#

I doubt it would be bad enough to be troll tier!

faint beacon

Tbf they classify using recon as trolling yet when you run like HH paired with Surv and Shocktrooper you can let everyone else actually get ammo on H40

yea i havent heard complaints

even when i brought dual barrel shotgun to a 25

#

but i think thats just my TRUE SURVIVOR RANK 40 intimidation

faint beacon
#

Tbf 25 you can get away with a lot

bitter turtle
#

because that's absolutely trolling

#

yea thats why i did it

lol

#

bad gun though

#

no other way to slice it

#

fun as heck but bad

faint beacon
#

35+ is when you start needing to use more serious things

#

DB is limited to a very certain build to be incredibly strong

#

Outside of that it’s lukewarm

bitter turtle
#

i dont think there's any build where u would not just be better off using a bistol or revolver

#

since it works exactly on one build alone and that's WS ones

bitter turtle
#

but even then you have a gun that manages to be worse against armor compared to both of them but also has 0 range

I need to get better with melee before doing higher havoks (I struggle with poxwalker hordes more than specialists)

and clutching

vestal widget
#

can you get the mod that shows you number of remaining dodges. most hordes are about dodge/stam management and knowing your wep's combos.

crisp oak
#

I know the combos and use them, but one mistake and 70% of my hp is gone

#

Just need to get more used to it

pastel pumice
#

do mods really help that much?

vestal widget
#

it's less efficient dps but you can try pushing more often because it syncs up the horde attacks and makes it easier to dodge

but yeah, it's just practice really

pastel pumice
#

i've been playing vanilla

vestal widget
pastel pumice
#

yes ive seen youtubers with these mods all over their screens

#

its really a wonder why theyre not in the base game

vestal widget
#

my friends were like "oh you're much better at the game" as soon as I got the mod and realized I was allowed to dodge basically all the time

and then it shows you when you're out of effective dodges so you can learn the kinda cadence where you need to push or something and chill to recover dodges

pastel pumice
#

nexus mods?

crisp oak
#

Yeah it helps especially when the dodge counts change

rain badger
#

separate your dodge and jump button too (i have yet to do that and I die/down/take lots of damage) KEKW_ogryn

pastel pumice
#

pseudo fiber
#

You should it's nice

#

NumericUI and chatblock are life savers

pastel pumice
#

i have backwards dodge when not moving option accepted

vestal widget
#

yeah, the dodge counts also change between weps and dodgeslides count as more etc, so it's just really a lot nicer qol for the game to just tell you

but it removed a lot of the fuckiness

pastel pumice
#

What does guaranteed do?

crisp oak
#

What does the crosshair remap do?

pastel pumice
#

Fix the buggy weapon swapping?

vestal widget
# pastel pumice What does guaranteed do?

it basically does some scripting or something to queue up weapon swaps/anims that would otherwise be cancelled because you're in the middle of an anim or something, I think

it doesn't fix the server straight up dropping the packet

the mod desc tells you

I've got these mods on my list now

#

What penance?

vestal widget
#

For some reason this game doesn't allow player to swap weapon in some frame of many animations, this mod is my attempt at addressing it.
Once you hit the swap key, this mod will make sure to swap weapon for you as soon as it ready to be swap as it possibly can. So in another word there will be delayed as long as whatever that swap-preventing animation last. So no more spamming weapon swap key.

  • show insignias shows insignias in mission, meaningless but mildly nice?
