Oh really?
yeah if you're running a grenadier build, bistol is the weapon of choice
i mean i got 3 krak gernades thats about it
try one with shredders
i wont.
and take every grenade talent you can + bistol
I love Krak
I ain't ignoring frags. I'm simply giving Kraks some time to shine
it sucks vs Maniac
yea but you can just take maniac for that no? or does it need something else
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
Headshots?
Well im missing all of them 😎
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
Hotel? Trivago
las pistol good then yes
use it for what it's good for and it's excellent
weirdly great unyielding damage
huhh
I mean in terms of weapons how would we rank the Bolt Pistol
functions as alt revolver with tradeoffs. i mostly use it in frag nade builds tbh for lethal prox but it's fun to fire
is that like a high 8th best or like a its mid/mediocre 8th best
going from best to worst it's prob somewhere like 7th~8th best
veteran has 30 guns I think? including variants
I don't know the order of stuff at the top, but it's very high.
very good all-round weapon. Just be aware of the slow attack speed
Yeah it eats some skill points to get it running properly well.
I think i got all the Caxe essentials
it's still usable even with the slower attack speed, just be conscious of your stamina as you do push attacks
Will an okay/decent Auric build work in Havoc or do i gotta change everything around
Its my personal favorite melee on Vet
i mean I've mostly been running my auric build on havoc
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.
dooes running havoc mess up my auric storm survivor challenge?
or running anything really
though I did make some changes to account for havoc 30+, but my talents basically remained the same
like top 3 for veteran
debatably best but that depends on what you want out of a melee weapon
Everything.
then yea it's best
yay!
mixed horde (?) with flanking behaviour, melee + VoC (1)
no grenades
no guns
i saw earlier lol
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?
rashad is braindead easy to use
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
anyone know the dump stat for Plamsa Guns?
yeah what qualififes as softer
but really do the mighty Bistol and rashad have useless special attacks?
i refuse to believe it
Rashad doesn’t have a special attack
Heavy attack vs carapace & unyielding (mutants too if u want to)
Light attack vs everything else
Use push attack for staggering ragers and controlling horde
Having no Special attack is crazy 💀
Is there any viable build to play helbore laser at endgame?
I try some builds but seems weaker than automatic/plasma guns
You need to be very good at headshots
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
Now 1000 hours later I found him again I present to you, the man, the myth, the legend:
Easiest way to get Adept Assassin done?
I got three other penances done in the time it's taken me to get 1/5th of the way on this one.
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.
anyone has a good cadian or infantry lasgun build around?
Executioner stance
Any tips for speccing out the recon lasgun
Havoc?
Knife + revolver
Veteran build for revolver is not flak + maniac
It’s elite/unarmored + maniac
Havoc indeed
Just make sure u got tons of ammo and ur good
Not getting keystones
yeah i shoulda known
this whole build had shout res and leave no man behind
because i wanted to be the commissar that res'd alot
my playstyle was the oppostie
it was me who needed the ambulance
Shout res seems so useless icl
Get suppression immunity it helps a ton
Man tf u fighting a dh for
ask the dude who pissed it off
i just popped it and he was chill
DH thought he killed him
nah
shouted and he gucci
I think leave no man behind doesnt even work for rescues, trappers or falling off the map
srs they gotta buff the shout res
Might be wrong
Randoms💀
real
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
Yeah but you lose rez shout value
But... you can take both 
Rez shout should work on yourself so you can use it with plasma suicide build
Wound curios stock increasing in value
💀😭
Sometimes i see a dude with like 6 wounds and im just wondering wtf
Well, zealot need that juice
If it's a zealot. Normal. If it's a Psyker, maybe grenade build for a penance.
Played with a zealot with 7 wounds today
Then won't have self-rez shout though. Sadge
Bro had no fear of ever actually dying
I mean, knowing you have 7 wounds is a great cope. You never take any damage then.
Don't judge me.
Is Killshot Ready easiest to do with Recon and just standing still?
The MF achievement ?
He stood in goop too much the first game and died lmfao
Yeah
What is that
Oh lul.
I did it with ciag (dunno current name) cuz it actually has good finesse
I know what you mean, the tiny assault rifle.
Whats mf achievement
Marksman's Focus
2500 kill at 10 stacks
Itd just i never use any of the keystones
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
Still haven't finished psyker/zealot penances
Im just gonna get to 5500 by just playing regularly and 0 hunting
Yeah, me neither, but here we are.
I get enough reaction from ppl that use true lvl
I am actually disappointed by how low my Ogryn's true level is.
Big number gud.
Eh
Nolife number
Ive seen some ass players at level 1000
Some of the best players i played with dont even got 100 levels
I give everyone the benefit of the doubt, sometimes I play like ass
When I have off days, I really do poorly in darktide
We all have ass here 
Thats a lotta kills
I mean, it happens. Playing when tilted is probs also an issue.
Im at 15% there
Poxbreaker is probably the grindiest out here
Yea
Im fortunate enough to say i rarely get tilted from this game
Psyker grindin
Only exception is where I get netted cross map that wasn't even shot at me
Ppl walking over your trapped body
More, go in while tilted from IRL issues or other games.
Ill just be disappointed lmao
Also that.
Lmao i saw a guy slowlt walk across my trapped ass and i was just laughing my ass of cuz that shits so dumb
Im sure he did it intentionally too
Some ppl forgot to be funny
Bro just slowly walked across me and killed whatever is infront thats not even a threat
I miss space dogs and when mutants used to Tokyo drift and grab people after taking really sharp turns
Hey guys
Disnt it take them a year to fix it
What was the grenadier build again?
My greatest experience was watching a newly level 30 ogryn in auric hold W +M1 with his stubber right into the demon host
Acknowledged it, pinged it, proceeded to mag dump
Any build with demo team i
Lmfao
Standard middle build but you go out of your way to grab the +1 on the right ?
Thats wild
Na
Dont even grab that
I tried so hard to save him but he died
Grab demo team

Basically. Their hit boxes are just stupid big. On my screen, I dodged but game says nope, you are dogged.
R u talking about when the game launched
Am not the one who created the "grenadier" build
Cuz u actually cant dodge at all for the hounds
No dodging no blocking no attacking
Lmfao
Nope, last night.
I put it at the same level as the "commissar build"
Idk what build even that us
Double dodged to side, still got grabbed after a sec.
Had it pounce me when i blcoked
Liekly ping that got me tbh
I wish we could grab dukanes coat
The dog landed next to me on my end even, just wat.
I blocked right before he touched me
Ping
The commissar outfit they gave us from the premium shop is garbage
Hat is nice at least
i get some crazy ping on NA and its goofy
Tf is that show a pic
I guess, was 350+.
Was why I double dodged to compensate.
Well, the question are "Am I committed enough to play the +1, ammo box and dual ?" If the answer is no then congrats, you are playing a standard build
I want her outfit, it makes me... errr... you know.
Commissar is similar but you put "support" node instead
Tf ur vet so happy
Is not my vet lols
Lmao
You should steal it
Enforcer outfit is the sickest
I pray it enver returns to the store so i can feel special having that outfit
Also, another thing, if I wanted to do the Infiltrate suppression penance, what nodes should I take for that ability?
I've never used it.
But man im really getting tired of havoc
Is that the havoc ones
Yeah
Lmao im at like 29/100 assisted
25 too hard if 20 was that much of a nightmare already.
Depends, most people take low profile but I take hunters resolve
Dunno about infiltrate. This is the only vet stuff I cant wrap my head around
If you want to spam it grab On Overwatch
Use it to solo shit in maelstroms
I dont enjoy solo shit
Im at 41/100
I'm a malice/heresy player. I don't even think I was useful when doing 20 other than smiting SURPRISE MF, stealth crusher pack.
Havoc 20?
I just do 40 once per week for the chest
Should I use a knife or does it really not matter?
Tbh hardest part is not playing dogshit urself and if ur not doing that its finding a good enough team
Yeah. We rolled lights out ontop of everything else.
lmao my dumbass today stayed in pox gas until i downed twice cuz i forgot bomber gas can actually kill u
Doesn't matter, if all you're going for is penance farming
Just play it like subpar voc
Lights out is nice on dark communion
Alright, let's give it a whirl.
Can never get penance farming its so pointless to me
On Sundays I see the same batch of high level players running their 40s
Lmtao
It was the one where you need to get 5 ammo things before the ship arrives.
Same idea as me I guess, get it out of the way then don't touch
Chasm logistratum
That one is tough
Tbh I wanna lower my level to 35 so I can take a stab at true survivor
New one. With big shield
I feel like its as hard or even harder than clandestine gloriana
Ill do it with u tmr
If u know good players that can help
I know Dark Communion. Played it a bunch on normal malice/heresy.
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.
Im actually not around for a few weeks I went home for the holidays
I dont know good player sowy
Left my PC back at my apartment
Did one with an ogryn today tho
Ogryns can be great
just built different lmfao
Rip
Honestly, I would give up if Gloriana shows up.
Gloriana is the funniest one
Nobody seems to know how to do the event.
Gloriana i can deal with
Gloriana is prolly my favorite havoc map
The hourglass with tox gas? Holy fuck what a miserable experience
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.
Lmfao i can testify
And trying to force it on a paper support psyker is suffering.
Lmao yea zealot and psyker is just built for it
vet and ogryn ur really team reliant
In maelstrom I think I have seen the most wipe on the sewer boss map, part below first event
Oh yea i played that yesterday
Hard finding teamates that wont die every 5 seconds
Ppl run around like headless chicken on this part
Maelstroms just for shits and giggles until u have to solo the entire game cuz everyone died or left
Well, cant do that with exe bolter
Executioner bolter is such a good play
random thing: did you know that beast of nurgle are attracted to corruption
na
the more permanent damage you have, the more likely they'll target you!
That one guy on youtube that clutches havoc 40 with rat zealot tho
Absolute fun on fog sniper.
Pretty sure they chase aggro like every other boss.
He was kiting them around rescuing the entire havoc 40
Clutching havoc 40 is definitely more impressive but im not that sweaty yet lols
Exec is just busted in general lmao
Err, idk about that
yes, they also have a particularly long stickiness duration of 20 seconds
Yea i aint doing that on a vet imma just die
I held aggro before at highest hp just just shooting it more with my old combat back in the days to buy team time to help someone.
Really
inverted_permanent_damage_taken = 20
Meh, zealot clutch could be avoided by not playing invis 
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
Not trappers as well?
That is not my feeling when I do skull puzzle
Damn
Seems about right. Hard to dodge if being pummeled with lack of space.
disabled = -5,
distance_to_target = 5,
max_distance = 50,
occupied_slots = 1,
archetypes = {
ogryn = 1,
psyker = 1,
veteran = 1,
zealot = 1,
},
}```
Thought mutants/trappers/dogs all did
Netgunner loves every classes equally
Lmao
Chargers just see someone and home.
Muties?
Muts are cute. Until they pummel you in a fire
Yea lmfao
They flung me out of a dookshow before though.
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
Still think muts should have varying pitches
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)
"WOOAAA" "wOaAaA" "WIIIIII", "WAAAARR"
but only hounds will actively target those out of coherency above others
Love me hounds
Mutant asmr
So when using Weapons Specialist how should my gameplay change?
also what's the right way to use infiltrator?
Already have one IRL to deal with. She knows how to crotch shot btw.
That excitable lil gremlin.
Lmfao
Prolly good for run and gun playstyles
the right way to use infiltrator is to use one of the other two abilities instead /j
Its so fun tho
Good for objectives mainly
And survivability
Fatshaark
make Infiltrator viable in Havoc 35
Definitely is
If ur team can handle themselves u can run whatever the fuck
I mean I really feel like as long as you have 4 decentish players build choice really doesn't matter as much
Yea
I bring executioner stance when i play with people that r good enough
Cuz they dont need me shouting every 5 seconds
Infiltrator just keeps me alive
saves my ass
and helps me do objectives and revive my teammates safely and way way quicker
Yea but u shouldnt need it to stay alive in havocs
Its just fun to use
Meme build if anything
I mean maybe it's a bit of a crutch
Its like the same question why do u need it to revive if no one dies in the first place
Shit mates
At that point fuck them and go solo lmfao
Not in havocs im not good enough
reminds me of COD Zombies
really makes you question being a team player when your teamate has gone down over 40 times
Yea i dont bother in maelstroms
I use whatever build i want and run off
They aint worth it
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
Just make whatever and try them out
honestly I made a build and it works great
but I can promise it's not optimal at all lmfao
Send it
If it works who gives a fuck lmao
I gotta make it in the website
and it's like 2 am
But I'll do it later
just for tou
you
feasibly you could use it with a run n gun autogun to suppress shooters point blank by appearing near them
This is all I want out of life
Rashad
Bolt Pistol
Infiltrator
Melee Oriented
Maybe Weapons Specialist
Is it possible?
Yes and check pins
Infiltrate is better than voc on a lot of maps imo
Ok
Stability or collateral
Okay
what's veterans best melee weapon for killing hordes as fast as possible
What would you guys say is the best gun on vet? I’m really enjoying the las gun
Az would say axe. I say sunder PS
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
Use whatever you want until havoc
Everything is viable in auric
oh yeah if you just started use whatever
Dont worry about it indeed
Alright
Lmfao that sounds funny as shit
How about a build to work towards then?
Thats actually such a good idea
So is Sunder better than Wrath on the power sword for Havoc?
Wrath is crap
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
It is if you put fat stuff in your horde
Sunder > good for mixed horde
BM > kill chaff
What are either of those things again
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
Sunder increase cleave by 300% and add minimum target count
You like recon right?
Do not bounce on bulwark shield
I love hellbore
Wtf is that
oh yeah and is there any significant viability difference between the 2 marks on the power sword
Brutal momentum is better at killing chaff and single but can bounce on fat
they both seem nearly identical
Just work to this for now
It is generically decent
Whatever you pick to go with recon as melee should be fine
Yea
OK thanks!
Bm hit harder but sunder has higher target limit and higher min target count. It is safer for disabling horde
Also ignoring bulwark shield is nice for standing your ground
Also you will see people suggest running onslaught with recon 12
It's ok but it's kind of a meme
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
Anything that ignore an enemy main gameplay element is usually good
lmao alright
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
It is nice, but I usually use krak grenades if i'm playing gun vet
I’ll just use whatever was in that tech tree for now instead of making it too complicated
Mhm
The dump stat for the recon was what again?
For the grenade btw
You are the one trying stuff
Stability or collateral
Okay thanks a lot
Just make sure it has max ammo/dmg
Is there not one to dump completely it’s just either or?
It doesn't matter
this is build I use for gun vet
Sounds good
So neither of those stats do anything
Alright
No
You're thinking of stopping power
what gun do you use
Well imma go into a game now thanks a lot man
I usually use Helbore
Np
i wanna know if it can be used for infantry las or recon la

Only reason I'm taking that shit ass weapon swap speed node
las
I’m not even the vet player here lol my brother just doesn’t use discord 💀
I would change a few skills around for Recon lasgun to get Deadshot and Duck & Cover
but off I go 
You bring info to your bro ? Thats nice

Yea me n him are new but he asked if I could find a build for him
I’m just a big fat ogryn bro
hows about infantry las?
ngl im oddly tempted to make a helbore and duelling sabre build
Honestly probably the exact same but - weapon swap and get Superiority Complex instead
Deadshot recon is enough of a meme that even our resident recon lover has dropped the idea
if i can roll a good fuckin sword
It is my policy to no longer comment on build. I do it still for keystoneless cuz I like to diss recon
Mine is winning 
☝️
I'm just rambling about my thoughts 
I will respect dude who succeed unironically with MF
Tbh I use weapons specialist because the other keystones just look weird
and No keystone feels wrong
I use tag cuz numbers
Yea i feel like spending it on keystones will actively make u worse
Don't like tag because it doesn't make grenade better 
U need that 80% damage
welp
I do actually have 2 seperate grenade builds 1 for krak and 1 for shredders
I use them in Havoc if I'm the only vet
Tell me you play shredder without telling me
(or WS if I'm not)
I use weapons specialist but I feel horrible everytime I swap weapons
any good?
Im considering switching to krak tbh for havoc but shredder is so good for crowd control
Are there different variants of the recon?
yeah
the green one is bad last I remember
Yes
brown is okay but the blue one is the reason you're using recon las to begin with
Wrong
Green one is meta in havoc
Which one is the best one?
oh

Idk i use mk 12 havent trued others
what a glowup it got
Which mk is that
so that means the blue one is the bad one
It's preference outside of havoc
Me taking krak or shredder is mostly dependent on me taking surv or dmg
Plasma defo the meta in havoc
my remembrance of the recon lasgun is very out of date because I still remember green recon taking 2 ammo per shot
14 = cleave
12 prolly the most useful
Alright
Cuz 14 dont do shit on havic when u got pox hardened
No, 6 is better
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
oh actually anothr thing I might have outdated memory of
Is the slow Helbore still the best one?
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 
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
Probably not. Ppl tend to like any of the 3
And hate the bayo on the slow
You're missing out
can't live without flashlight
Havent touched seriously since bm no longer applied
Yea
I dont like lucius gunplay
tried this right now with terrifying barrage instead
I was hoping hot shot was a bm replacement
worked pretty well until my team all died to green bulwarks
But it's not
Nothing can replace bm 
What's a good havoc melee if I can only go down to reciprocity and desperado?
I am already loaded
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
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
buff helbore
Full auto mod is defo cheating 
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
Carpal tunnel.
There's a reason the only time you'd bring a helbore to Havok 40 is your ammo economy requires it
helbore is like 90% of a ranged weapon and kinda fails at really being that competitive of a ranged weapon... and then it has bayonet stabs and charges.
whellbore with executioner stance is awesome for havocs
well ok
it also has good ammo efficiency
but imo like other lasguns tend to just be better except yeah carapace
hellbore just 1 taps most enemies and 2 tap at most
but the bayonet is really the kicker, since imo it doesn't really work well as a high damage single target tool otherwise
but the charge time many people dont like
eh it exists
What are the recommended traits and blessings for the bolt pistol?
Puncture and Lethal proximity.
What about traits? Flak, elite, what?
I only remember the blessings lul.
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
i found a hatsune miku toy once at a local toy store
Is more breakpoints. Lethal is a must on frag vets though.
ptsd
Does bleed apply from the proxiimity actually?
Is thermal res the dump stat on the plasma gun?
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
Man the draw time of helbore rifle don’t have sense, seems too much
can you guess what weapon I used to do all this boss damage ?
Knife punch
||laspistol|| bet you didn't see that coming 
second place was a zealot with relic blade
How did everyone get so high damage?
finishing auric missions with over 100 ranged elite kills alone seems promising for my prospects of playing exe stance vet on havoc
It'll be rough but you might be able to pull through. 
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.
scab ragers, maulers, and bulwarks are all quite common and also count
just throw em at all of em
bulwarks have a big ass shield I've only ever seen Zealot players melt them
and also me personally but that's personal bias
i love how the counting down of the krak grenades is basically a "IM HERE PLEASE SHOOT ME" for your whole team
Yeah, it's the BB for Vets.
honestly that shit should explode on impact
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.
the boltpistol blressing that makes the bolts explode also buffs the explosion range of krak granade, makes it easier to score multikills
So it's a BM on the bayonet situation?
Just have that blessing the Kraks are better for reasons unknown to all?
yes
Well.
also works with shredder nades, there is a video that shows you can hit the whole psykanium with a boosted shredder
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.
if only ogryn had bolt pistol
imagine the frag grenades and rumbler shots
If only Ogryn had weapons
I just had a scary thought
I didn't test if that blessing also boosts SMOKE granade
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.
it sadly doesn't
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 tested it and it doesn't seem to do so
A shame I love smoke
yes
thank you
Who else rocks the plasma gun?
who doesnt
Is there anywhere I can go to see the RoF for certain guns?
Inspect.
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
I don't
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 
Its not that bad it's just carpal tunnel sim
Don't charge for every single regular shooter enemy (for damnation)
found a havoc 40 with it
I love the helbore, but only the stabby ones.

6 is more ammo efficient
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
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
Surgical Weight of Fire
Mk V? Surgical and Hotshot/Armourbane
Is the combat shotgun actually viable on veteran?
I used it for weapon masteries and absolutely hated it
sadly they arent amazing
which sucks because i like the zarona shotgun
you can make some silly buuilds
Yes they are viable
They are not impressive nor disappointing
They work but not outstandingly?
yep i prefer the long range one. But they are all just ok
I see, I usually use the plasma gun or the bolt pistol
I’ve just been using the various auto guns for penances
viable is a pretty low bar
almost any weapon is viable lol
I had meant is it any good but that’s been answered lmao
good? no. viable? yes.
Because I know the hacker is a lot better with weapon specialist
So if I wanted to use something other than these two, what might be some recommendations?
Vigilant Graia
Ah gotcha, didn’t know if the metas changed after updates
Which one is that?
I know, I was just wondering if that was one of the burst fire ones
The Graia is the single shot one
Gotcha, what would you recommend for stats, perks, and blessings?
I’m using VoC, shredder frags, and Focus Target if that helps
I love the incendiary one because basically infinite cleave
Flak Unarmored
Surgical+Deadly Accurate
60% mobility
Gotcha, thanks!
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
I tried that one and wasn’t a huge fan
that's fine, you do you, find the gun you do like
I also feel like it had bad stats
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
On the crit bleed?
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
Gotcha
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
I’m gonna test out higui’s autogun recommendation but if I get a shotgun I’ll try that
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
taking power sword with slaughterer and sunder this game
lets see what happens
Lmao
trying out a revolver exec stance meme build
actually not bad
though the ammo efficiency is pretty shit even with survivalist
Plasma gun exec stance build
plasma 🥱
Admittedly, I never use the thing but some swear by it
not bad for a match where i spent 10 minutes hitting ice block (PS seems to do no god damn damage to ice blocks)
New to darktide is recon lasgun and dueling sword best things you can use?
Seen from Tanner's videos
1 they’re very good
2 ignore tanner
Dudes prob the number one source of fake news in the community
Is the Helbore vet only?
holy moly
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
Mister E:
Tanner is 2nd
Darktide players when different opinions form from different playtime experiences
I have done it
i have created and will now share my weird funny build
I look forward to honest genuine critique and comments
yeah i dont have an account
i should make one
@tall torrent I summon you
Its like
When you
Just spread wrong information
And then raise it up as fact
How is it an opinion anymore
You're just spreading false information
And all these players have thousands of hours in darktide

People dislike tanner for a multitude of reasons also stemming from, his personality is grating
Wow
I don’t even know what to say
I expected this sort of reaction
official version now
same thing
why did i bother
This....is gonna be good....and just for the record.
I'm using this unironically. No memes.
yeah?
Damn bro didn't even wanna trash on it he just said use this and left 💀
No tactical awareness
No iron will
No precision strikes
Missing breakpoints for Boltpistol and Rashad
Yea it’s basically over
Infiltrate users in shambles
Let me guess.
both of those weapons rely heavily on meeting breakpoints
Please trash my build i encourage you to
its very constructive
Do u want to kill 4 guys per swing or hit 1 guy per swing
the better one.
Playing infiltrate is fine
But not taking tactical awareness + iron will isn’t
So this is the Rashad/Bistol optimal setup?
Would it even work with Infiltrate?
And I'm gonna guess Krak's just fall off at higher difficulties?
oh. i just really like kraks
Do u have to play infiltrate
i would prefer to use it.
but i mean i could adapt.
I personally don’t think Boltpistol is particularly good if not going for the frag synergy
why is that?
The bolt pistol explosion blessing makes your frags radius increase to funny levels
Other than that the revolver hits bps easier
It’s just functionally a worse revolver
I like the bistol reload better than the revolver
Slower draw to fire, worse breakpoints, far less cleave, worse firerate, much higher recoil
But if using it on vet, sup complex is wanted
what's our best gun options to kill far away specials?
Plasma, revolver, infantry lasgun, infantry autogun, bolt pistol, Boltgun
~~vigilant autogun ~~

Low maniac ADM
guess I should stick to infantry lasgun for now
I thought recon lasgun would be good then I see all the perks are close range and cringed
IIb and VII are the better variants
I liek bolter exe
Close range is not what you think it is
huh
Yeah the recon is fine out to like 40 meters
When you say long ranged Im assuming 100

Nah
20m+
Recon’s problem is bad ADM across the board
Low maniac
Low flak
Low unyielding
what does close ranged mean
His guides haven't led me astray so far
Don't see how they're misinfo
I dont actually know how far 30m is in game
Roughly 90 feet
Am too lazy to write guide
His guides are fine for the most part, he’s just extremely rude and highly disliked

And usually any build that goes against his is bad in his eyes, very close minded
He is not good enough to be rude is what id say
he also doesnt have as much behind the scenes knowledge as some of the other youtubers that are also playtesters
Allegebly ?
Who was it?
One of my fren got solo havoc 40
Playtesters got the first havok 40 no downs
How can we fix the tree

I trust him cuz he do be like that
Effort =/= truth
Nah, he’s too frequently wrong
See antivax anything
Anyway, getting 40 havoc no down is mostly about getting 4 ppl with the right set up and enough experiznce
Good darktide players dont make content
It's about recognizing what works for your playstyle
We're talkin' about Tanner. For context, I questioned calling his and Mister E.'s content misinfo earlier
I really can't wait until I complete my havoc penances
Im so tired of queueing havoc
So a lot of "it depends"
Good dt player don't post on dt discord either 
I could make a 3 hour video about why Skirmisher is the best talent ever made
And you would be right
he wasnt the 1st to get true survivor
Yeah he’s really good at appearing knowledgeable. It comes naturally to him. In reality though, he’s just a racist yapping chihuahua.
back in my day we didn't look for guides for meta builds when we were new we just used what's fun 
Still not sure where the racist came from
Guess why he’s banned here. 
Facts
And that is what I wish
People would do
Learn why tacaxes are trash yourself

Tac axe is fun you shush
Back in my day I could kill 120 crushers in 2 minutes with an axe and some frags
I mean, people are able to play and generate their own opinions
Then they nerfed thunderous 
back in my day we oiled ourselves up when it was raining so we could fly

Its just how well you're able to share those opinions in discourse that allows theroy and build crafting to evolve our understanding of the game
We used to think Ruthless Backstab was BiS
Hence when people are generally brazen or irritating we don't really want to care for their input
Yeah idc if he is a racist personally I am here for darktide and things he points out in his everything about veteran guide and the meta build make a lot of sense to me. I have been using the recon lasgun and the dueling sword with his talent spread in malice/heresy and I am level 18 it has been working wonders tbh. I think you have personal issues with the guy and clouds your judgement
From what I can tell
Thats fair, jsut paly the game
Meh.
your leveling you dont need to min/max everything
Learn how to use weapons other than the dueling sword
“In malice/heresy” well no shit
Its fun
Everything works well in malice and heresy
I run masteries in malice/heresy with grey weapons
Well I don't have access to higher difficulties yet
Did you miss the part where I said I am level 18
It is just a name we hear a bit too much. Also he did went here and the exchange were rough
You have access to yamnation
implodes your cat
No but like
I will try
With randoms it is annoying to do higher difficulties
But try out other weapons and see how they tick
I could run malice as soon as I get there level wise and perform with the barest semblance of a build
I would also recommend you try other stuff
I have tried other weapons as well but not all of them
Leveling is the best time to experiment
explodes your flop
Check pinned
Just try them out and have some fun
Nothing really matters on stats because everything sucks and you’re broke
In any case, we are all bad, enjoy the game
Cool? I am not trying to brag that I do content lol I am just saying where I am at the game
All i'll advise is you listen to other sources of info as well, he has game knowledge but is overall inconsistent
Fair enough
I’m making a point that just because they say it’s good you aren’t actually stress testing it
Just use kuli’s or my guide
Check pinned
His most recent vet guide was fine
In pins
Path has the most informationally comprehensive guide for this game
I hope you enjoy reading
I am going to do dishes, then a bit of boltpistol ws i guess
