Lethal Proximity blessing also affects your grenades. Excellent with shredder frags

hollow ibex
#

yeah if you're running a grenadier build, bistol is the weapon of choice

silver yoke
hollow ibex
#

try one with shredders

silver yoke
hollow ibex
#

and take every grenade talent you can + bistol

hollow ibex
#

shredders are the best

silver yoke
#

I love Krak

hollow ibex
#

you'll come around to frags one day KEKW_ogryn

#

no self-respecting vet would ignore frags

it sucks vs Maniac

radiant chasm
tall torrent
#

with +25% maniac it's still like 4 headshots to kill a flamer

#

and it's basically not gonna matter against a dreg rager wave

silver yoke
tall torrent
#

it is really good vs flak though

#

high finesse
high crit chance
high flak ADM
has Ghost
fast sprint to fire
fast ADS move speed
no recoil
great hipfire

silver yoke
#

las pistol good then yes

tall torrent
#

use it for what it's good for and it's excellent

vestal widget
#

weirdly great unyielding damage

tall torrent
#

it's <1 ADM vs unyielding

#

just high crit finesse

vestal widget
#

huhh

silver yoke
#

I mean in terms of weapons how would we rank the Bolt Pistol

tall torrent
#

like

#

somewhere 7~8th best for veteran prob

vestal widget
#

functions as alt revolver with tradeoffs. i mostly use it in frag nade builds tbh for lethal prox but it's fun to fire

silver yoke
#

is that like a high 8th best or like a its mid/mediocre 8th best

tall torrent
silver yoke
#

wow

#

out of what?

tall torrent
#

veteran has 30 guns I think? including variants

silver yoke
#

i mean i'll take it damn

#

how does Rashad rate out of all the melee vets has?

vital wren
#

I don't know the order of stuff at the top, but it's very high.

heavy rover
#

very good all-round weapon. Just be aware of the slow attack speed

vital wren
#

Yeah it eats some skill points to get it running properly well.

silver yoke
#

I think i got all the Caxe essentials

heavy rover
#

it's still usable even with the slower attack speed, just be conscious of your stamina as you do push attacks

silver yoke
#

Will an okay/decent Auric build work in Havoc or do i gotta change everything around

vital wren
#

Its my personal favorite melee on Vet

heavy rover
#

i mean I've mostly been running my auric build on havoc

vital wren
#

You'll be fine until the higher levels because Havoc 1-10 is more or less Malice with new modifiers, 11-20 is Heresy, etc. Just as the modifiers stack up later things get off with the math from Auric builds sometimes.

silver yoke
#

dooes running havoc mess up my auric storm survivor challenge?

silver yoke
#

or running anything really

heavy rover
#

though I did make some changes to account for havoc 30+, but my talents basically remained the same

tall torrent
#

debatably best but that depends on what you want out of a melee weapon

tall torrent
silver yoke
#

yay!

tall torrent
silver yoke
#

i saw earlier lol

silver yoke
#

So a few questions.

For Rashad how do I know which combo's are best for each enemy type?

When would I ever use the Rashad Special Attack?

And does the Bolt Pistol Push/Special Attack ever serve a purpose?

hollow ibex
#

lights for horde clear, heavies for single target (though the softer guys can just be handled with lights too)

#

push attack + light for ragers

#

i don't ever use the special attack

upbeat mortar
#

anyone know the dump stat for Plamsa Guns?

silver yoke
#

but really do the mighty Bistol and rashad have useless special attacks?
i refuse to believe it

tall torrent

#

Having no Special attack is crazy 💀

For over a year I’ve been telling people I fought a boss in Darktide named phonetically “I’ve been jackin off”
No one believed me

I got three other penances done in the time it's taken me to get 1/5th of the way on this one.

chilly saddle
# gleaming turtle Easiest way to get Adept Assassin done?

Use a revolver with rending on crits and critical weak spot damage or whatever the other blessing is, chained weak spots,
And use weapon specialist and just swap every few melee kills to take out a gunner trapper or whatever in one shot
Put flak maniac and also take the right side tree and grab the 25% damage on weapon swap
Just takes a few melee kills in chaff to guarantee a crit when you swap to pistol and take the extra moment to make sure it’s a headshot each time

#

Also dip the far left of the bottom tree to get suppress immunity and 30% weak spot damage
You’ll have the penance done in a couple games and the build is pretty insane
Rare penance that has a top tier build attached to it

#

Do it for albin jackinoff

Thanks for the tips.

took off the shout res, it was fun while it lasted

vernal trench
#

Unless u gotta rescue a ton

wicked epoch
#

yeah i shoulda known

#

this whole build had shout res and leave no man behind

it was me who needed the ambulance

i just popped it and he was chill

shouted and he gucci

vernal trench

I think leave no man behind doesnt even work for rescues, trappers or falling off the map

wicked epoch

srs they gotta buff the shout res

Might be wrong

the cooldown time is too

Just aggro the demonhost urself

but how else will i shout res the poor bastard who pissed it off

thus making sure i actually get use out of shout res

That 50 toughness is way better

wanton dawn

But... you can take both tposegryn

vernal trench

Not worth the extra point imo

Rez shout should work on yourself so you can use it with plasma suicide build

It is not that hard if you play autogun

Instead of trying smth stupid like a lasgun

vernal trench

Itd just i never use any of the keystones

gleaming turtle

Yeah, well, I need the penances because I am trying to hit 5500.

Not a lot of wiggle room unless you do some stupid amounts of grinding.

Kinda gotta do the class ones.

I dont wanna play other classes

# vernal trench Can never get penance farming its so pointless to me

Because one day they are going to increase the total penance cap, and it'll have stuff you might want. You may as well get it out of the way, particularly if you are going to play the game for a long ass time. It also sort of helps you understand how classes works, and gets you set up in case your class isn't suited for something. Like, I main Ogryn. You think I do high level Havocs as Ogryn? Get real.

serene bough

Im actually not around for a few weeks I went home for the holidays

#

Gloriana i can deal with

vernal trench
#

Gloriana is prolly my favorite havoc map

serene bough
#

The hourglass with tox gas? Holy fuck what a miserable experience

gleaming turtle
#

Not worth the frustration. I hate playing the playstyle that 30+ basically forces you into on Ogryn, particularly because the class is absolutely not tuned for that. Not to mention that 90% of people will reject an Ogryn player out of hand at high levels because they seem them as an albatross.

#

It's why I switched to Zealot for Havocs.

#

You get in every single time.

vernal trench

And trying to force it on a paper support psyker is suffering.

vernal trench

Maelstroms just for shits and giggles until u have to solo the entire game cuz everyone died or left

wanton dawn
#

Meh, zealot clutch could be avoided by not playing invis whatthefuck_heresy

sullen jackal
#

also the only enemies attracted to players outside of coherency are chaos hounds

netgunners are also assholes and will prefer to target players with occupied melee slots(aka fighting in melee), while most everything else will try and avoid those players to varying degrees

Muts are cute. Until they pummel you in a fire

vernal trench

#

They flung me out of a dookshow before though.

sullen jackal
#

well, when mutants spawn, they're directed t owards... roughly the person farthest away from the main attack vector I think?

#

there's basically three 'lanes' of combat. main, left, and right

wanton dawn
#

Still think muts should have varying pitches

sullen jackal
#

it's technically true yes that a few specialists tend to target the flanks and thus people not fighting the horde at the main attack vector(where they come)

wanton dawn
#

"WOOAAA" "wOaAaA" "WIIIIII", "WAAAARR"

also what's the right way to use infiltrator?

unreal nova
#

That excitable lil gremlin.

vernal trench
#

Lmfao

vernal trench
sullen jackal
#

the right way to use infiltrator is to use one of the other two abilities instead /j

vernal trench
#

Good for objectives mainly

#

And survivability

silver yoke
vernal trench
#

If ur team can handle themselves u can run whatever the fuck

silver yoke
vernal trench
#

I bring executioner stance when i play with people that r good enough

#

Cuz they dont need me shouting every 5 seconds

silver yoke
#

Infiltrator just keeps me alive
saves my ass
and helps me do objectives and revive my teammates safely and way way quicker

vernal trench
#

Yea but u shouldnt need it to stay alive in havocs

#

Its just fun to use

#

Meme build if anything

silver yoke
#

I mean maybe it's a bit of a crutch

vernal trench
#

Its like the same question why do u need it to revive if no one dies in the first place

vernal trench
#

Not in havocs im not good enough

silver yoke
vernal trench
#

I use whatever build i want and run off

#

They aint worth it

silver yoke
#

Think if I ask some people to make a build for me they would
I know what I want but I know I ain't really making it the best it can be

vernal trench
#

Just make whatever and try them out

silver yoke
#

honestly I made a build and it works great
but I can promise it's not optimal at all lmfao

vernal trench
#

If it works who gives a fuck lmao

I gotta make it in the website
and it's like 2 am

cause I'm wanting a melee weapon to run with my helbore on exe stance vet

Well, sunder is for mixed horde but ppl don't know the diff

bitter turtle

Everything is viable in auric

I just started ngl lol

Then don't worry about ut

Just play anything you like

calm shard

oh yeah if you just started use whatever

wanton dawn
#

Dont worry about it indeed

little lion
#

Alright

vernal trench
little lion
#

How about a build to work towards then?

vernal trench
#

Thats actually such a good idea

calm shard
#

So is Sunder better than Wrath on the power sword for Havoc?

wanton dawn
#

Wrath is crap

calm shard
#

So is Sunder just the best choice to run on p sword in general

#

power cycler obviously since it's the only reason power sword isn't dogshit

wanton dawn
#

It is if you put fat stuff in your horde

bitter turtle
#

Sunder > good for mixed horde
BM > kill chaff

vernal trench
calm shard
#

brutal momentum it is I hate chaff with a burning passion and wish to remove them from my life so I can go back to shooting everything bigger than a poxwalker with my helbore

wanton dawn
#

Sunder increase cleave by 300% and add minimum target count

bitter turtle
wanton dawn
#

Do not bounce on bulwark shield

calm shard
#

oh yeah and is there any significant viability difference between the 2 marks on the power sword

wanton dawn
#

Brutal momentum is better at killing chaff and single but can bounce on fat

calm shard
#

they both seem nearly identical

bitter turtle
#

Just work to this for now

#

It is generically decent

#

Whatever you pick to go with recon as melee should be fine

little lion
wanton dawn
vernal trench
#

I hould try that

#

Should

wanton dawn
#

Also ignoring bulwark shield is nice for standing your ground

bitter turtle
#

It's ok but it's kind of a meme

silver yoke
#

it feels like whatever game I play I make some weird half optimal off meta build that I try to make work just because I like it

And I mean it works so I don't think I'll change it

wanton dawn
#

Anything that ignore an enemy main gameplay element is usually good

little lion
bitter turtle
#

Personally I suggest running 6 for ammo efficiency or 14 for built in peentration (shoot thru multiple enemies at once)

#

12 + onslaught is basically a build to let recons kill crushers

#

But it makes the rest of your build worse bc it's expensive to take

little lion
#

I see

#

Okay

calm shard
little lion
#

I’ll just use whatever was in that tech tree for now instead of making it too complicated

bitter turtle
#

Mhm

little lion
#

The dump stat for the recon was what again?

bitter turtle
#

For the grenade btw

wanton dawn
bitter turtle
#

Throw 2 for it to kill everything rager and weaker

#

To stack the bleed

bitter turtle

bitter turtle
#

Just make sure it has max ammo/dmg

#

It doesn't matter

calm shard
#

this is build I use for gun vet

little lion
bitter turtle
#

You have no recoil for stability

#

And barely any stagger for collateral to mattrr

Doesn't collateral partially affect armor pen?

It is my policy to no longer comment on build. I do it still for keystoneless cuz I like to diss recon

i have these

silver yoke

I use weapons specialist but I feel horrible everytime I swap weapons

wicked epoch
#

any good?

vernal trench
#

Im considering switching to krak tbh for havoc but shredder is so good for crowd control

little lion
#

Are there different variants of the recon?

calm shard
#

the green one is bad last I remember

bitter turtle
calm shard
#

brown is okay but the blue one is the reason you're using recon las to begin with

bitter turtle
#

Green one is meta in havoc

little lion
calm shard
#

oh

bitter turtle
vernal trench
#

Idk i use mk 12 havent trued others

calm shard
#

what a glowup it got

vernal trench
calm shard
#

so that means the blue one is the bad one

bitter turtle
wanton dawn
#

Me taking krak or shredder is mostly dependent on me taking surv or dmg

bitter turtle
#

12 = fastest fire rate. For onslaught build

#

6 = ammo efficiency

vernal trench
#

Plasma defo the meta in havoc

calm shard
#

my remembrance of the recon lasgun is very out of date because I still remember green recon taking 2 ammo per shot

bitter turtle
#

14 = cleave

vernal trench
#

12 prolly the most useful

little lion
vernal trench
#

Cuz 14 dont do shit on havic when u got pox hardened

bitter turtle
#

Ammo efficiency above evetthing

#

The dmg difference between the marks is under 10%

#

Even in ideal circumstances for 12

#

And ur not taking onslaught in havoc

wanton dawn
#

No, ur taking recon

calm shard
#

oh actually anothr thing I might have outdated memory of

#

Is the slow Helbore still the best one?

bitter turtle
#

Funnily enough I used 14 in my first 40 clear and true survivor title in week 1 bc i didn't know about the hitmass values yet LappKek

#

I don't think there's any reason to use it though

#

Path said something about slightly better specialist ttk but

#

More ammo is betterer probably

wanton dawn
#

And hate the bayo on the slow

I mean I don't use the bayonet on any of them

Still good dmg and stagger but no more bayonet charge into horde Sitgryn

What's a good havoc melee if I can only go down to reciprocity and desperado?

vernal trench

not a lot thi

tho

wanton dawn
#

I am already loaded

calm shard
#

y'know what okay I understand the helbore bayonet love now

#

1 shot stab that annoying fucking poxwalker that always magically appears behind you

#

if it's a rager just stab them more since it staggers them

sinful swallow
#

Weight of fire on mk2 goes pretty hard too if you're running the full auto mod as long as you're not against a carapace wall

frank ledge
#

buff helbore

terse idol
#

Full auto mod is defo cheating ch_brittishsmirk

#

Helbore iss, imo it's fine, the slowest one could use a bayonet buff cause the slash is bad

#

But it's a lasgun with carapace damaging properties

frank ledge
sullen jackal
vernal trench
sullen jackal
#

well ok

#

it also has good ammo efficiency

#

but imo like other lasguns tend to just be better except yeah carapace

vernal trench
#

hellbore just 1 taps most enemies and 2 tap at most

sullen jackal
#

but the bayonet is really the kicker, since imo it doesn't really work well as a high damage single target tool otherwise

vernal trench
#

but the charge time many people dont like

I think classic Flakiak

#

I wouldn't say Puncture for the pistol

#

I like Lethal Proximity and Executioner

#

Especially on Weapon Swap

#

If you're looking for what's fun, a fast melee weapon and a bolt pistol at melee range with weapon swap is hard to beat

Does bleed apply from the proxiimity actually?

versed osprey
#

Is thermal res the dump stat on the plasma gun?

wanton dawn
#

no

#

plasma has no true dump. You max damage and pen, then it is a trade-off. Some argue for 71% charge 69% thermal for 8 uncharged shot from 0% heat

It'll be rough but you might be able to pull through. thumbs

gleaming turtle
#

How in the name of Christ am I supposed to get 500 Krak grenade kills on armored enemies when everyone melts these dickheads and I get so few per game (generally due to the refresh timer and only having 2).

#

So far I am at 70, and I am easily going to finish my other two penances for Veteran that I have yet to complete before I come close to hitting 500.

#

Everyone just immediately targets the Crushers, Bulwarks, Maulers, and Ragers when they show up, and the grenades do piss damage so even if I chuck them in a crowd of flak dudes they tend not to kill anyone.

calm shard
#

just throw em at all of em

gleaming turtle
#

Read the rest of the comments.

#

They get melted before the nades go off.

calm shard
#

bulwarks have a big ass shield I've only ever seen Zealot players melt them

#

and also me personally but that's personal bias

smoky sparrow
#

i love how the counting down of the krak grenades is basically a "IM HERE PLEASE SHOOT ME" for your whole team

gleaming turtle
#

Yeah, it's the BB for Vets.

smoky sparrow
#

honestly that shit should explode on impact

gleaming turtle
#

I wonder if it would be time efficient to just do Auric Maelstroms, find my first pack of Bulwarks/Crushers, toss three nades with the perk, get three kills, and then leave.

solemn niche
gleaming turtle
#

So it's a BM on the bayonet situation?

#

Just have that blessing the Kraks are better for reasons unknown to all?

solemn niche
#

yes

gleaming turtle
#

Well.

solemn niche
#

also works with shredder nades, there is a video that shows you can hit the whole psykanium with a boosted shredder

gleaming turtle
#

I don't hate the Bolt Pistol, so that's fine.

#

Just need to finish up the Elite/Special crit headshot kills penance first, and then move onto the other two.

calm shard
#

imagine the frag grenades and rumbler shots

gleaming turtle
#

If only Ogryn had weapons

solemn niche
#

I just had a scary thought staregryn I didn't test if that blessing also boosts SMOKE granade

gleaming turtle
#

No need, that fucker's so big already

#

I got my 2000 smoked enemies in 3 games.

calm shard
#

5 meters

gleaming turtle
#

Still got it in 3 games.

#

Horde noise? Throw nade. Horde noise? Throw nade. Repeat.

#

The movement aura penance is def bugged tho.

#

I got that done in the first 10 minutes of one mission.

#

Ogryn has an aura penance that's bugged too.

#

I literally got that unlocked in the first fight of the first game I was building for it.

Hello, I have a question
Out for Blood talent says "gives an additional 5% toughness on kills". Does it work on ranged kills even though they give 0 to begin with ?

I'm pretty sure it says the rof on the inspect screen

#

Does it? Now I feel blind.

#

Oh, I think its because I was looking at the different marks screen trying. Which I like, I guess, but it would be nice to see that as well on the statcard

I was trying to see the difference between the VIc and the XIV Recon. I really don't get what the purpose of the VIc is lol

Okay hold oonn, I just think like

You can beat auric damn with helbore
If it IS alright on havoc (the helbore) the issue is well, no ghost chonkyrouny

Don't charge for every single regular shooter enemy (for damnation)

stiff merlin
#

For the Helbore, what are the good blessing for the Mk 1? Weight of Fire and Armourbane? Is Hot-Shot any good?

#

er MK V

sleek garden
#

Personally dont like weight of fire because i feel like it makes me innaccurate

#

the gun moves around when chargiing

#

but i probably use stupid stuff

#

im using sustained fire

tame lodge
#

Mk V? Surgical and Hotshot/Armourbane

ocean shell
#

Is the combat shotgun actually viable on veteran?

#

I used it for weapon masteries and absolutely hated it

sleek garden
#

sadly they arent amazing

#

which sucks because i like the zarona shotgun

#

you can make some silly buuilds

tame lodge
#

They are not impressive nor disappointing

ocean shell
#

They work but not outstandingly?

odd sparrow
#

yep i prefer the long range one. But they are all just ok

ocean shell
#

I see, I usually use the plasma gun or the bolt pistol

#

I’ve just been using the various auto guns for penances

hollow ibex
#

almost any weapon is viable lol

ocean shell
#

I had meant is it any good but that’s been answered lmao

hollow ibex
#

good? no. viable? yes.

tame lodge
#

The Graia is the single shot one

ocean shell
#

Gotcha, what would you recommend for stats, perks, and blessings?

#

I’m using VoC, shredder frags, and Focus Target if that helps

stiff merlin
tame lodge
ocean shell
stiff merlin
#

and I generally have fun with them because you can pop people just fine with them and clear horde though I feel its more of a set up weapon

ocean shell
stiff merlin
#

that's fine, you do you, find the gun you do like

ocean shell
#

I also feel like it had bad stats

stiff merlin
#

but I like Full Bore and Terrifying Barrage because with suppression talents you get get a horde to freeze so your team can mop up

#

though I know somem people like the bleed one

ocean shell
#

On the crit bleed?

stiff merlin
#

yeah, the Flechette, but if you're not building for crit

#

the close range damage buff wouldn't be bad if you're building for horde clear and I figure hit and run is real good with range enemy buffs right now

#

pretty sure you can do wicked stagger build too with the shotguns which probably would be decent single target

ocean shell
#

Gotcha

stiff merlin
#

but for hit and run, I wonder if the Double Barrelled would be better, I guess it depends on which one is the faster draw and now I'm getting ideas for a right side build where you just blap some heretic with the double barrel to become immune to ranged attack so you can run up and melee rampage or be me and just melee with the helbore more than you shoot it XD

ocean shell
#

I’m gonna test out higui’s autogun recommendation but if I get a shotgun I’ll try that

sleek garden
#

My shotgun recommendation is deadshot+marksmans focus+tunnel vision with manstopper on zarona shotgun

#

The spreadshot with a crit or high stacks of marksmans focus will chop a horde's collective head off

#

it's a lot of fun on rolling steel

#

but otherwise you're using the zarona

#

which is my favorite but probably the worst

#

okay im gonna commit suicide

New to darktide is recon lasgun and dueling sword best things you can use?

Seen from Tanner's videos

2 ignore tanner

#

Dudes prob the number one source of fake news in the community

stiff merlin
#

Is the Helbore vet only?

sleek garden
#

its so awful

#

i won

#

but its ridiculously bad

#

2 dodges

#

i have 3 block cost reduction nodes and blocking a single poxwalker takes 20% stamina

#

pushing uses something like 2 bars of stamina of its base 4-5

#

it has absolutely no defence

#

it takes like 5% stamina to block a poxwalker with the devils claw

#

it needs better defence

#

if you put all your curios into stamina and block cost reduction it would barely work as a normal sword
