alr
I can help, but I'm helping someone else with twins first
@narrow frostthanks for helping Brit!
New mastery set aint working for me, cant tell if its the shotgun or the sword
its probably the shotgun I miss her
the vrak?
im using a mod
i spent money on it alr
i missed when i shouldnt have on a clear headshot
š
sadly you only hit their brain which is a non-critical limb
shovel is not that good..
im regretting my actions..
i got stuck in a corner and couldnt push them far enough šæ
shovels are just kinda not great rn sadly
Itās even worse against hordes
dawg i got a shovel
MK 1 currently
The sapper shovels are decroited at hordes
decroited ?
Imo if you're gonna use the helbore to kill crushers you could justify using a heavy sword
Its just a word northernlion uses in his streams
I've watched aloootta northernlion
Its made up, meaning bad

Well lack of killing power
It staggers more than it kills even with uncanny
USE LIGHTS
For hordes!
And I was talking bout the sapper shovel for hordes anywho
There's aloot better options
Yeah but those don't have Funny bonk noise
And you canāt dig it with other melees
uncanny and what
Decimator
Surgical n chainfire
i dont see anything named chainfire
whatever the perk that increases charge speed was
weight of fire?
yeah that
slap those on
grab I think like
elite and flak?
or standard flakniac
elite flak is a specific thing
on the 3a
to oneshot scab ragers with a headshot
Lucius mk1 does fine in auric missionsn
just don't expect good results in higher level havoc missions
the annoying to use one has a use in high level havoks
For the other mk's that isn't the fastest firing helbore

The fast firing helbore takes surgical and armourbane or hotshot meme evidentally
tfw i literally face discrimination due to my havoc rank
sorry you gotta be havoc 40 to ride this buss
wait we discriminating none high rank havocs now?
Hey a new vet player here- what is the best way to build power sword and why does it feel so crappy unpowered?
Is there a way to make unpowered good?
no
Check pinned messages to see the best setup for Psword
this was a 30! i was a 22
Damn thatās a same- feels like a one trick pony after playing with zealot power sword
a havoc 23 find
man and i get annoyed when i see fuckers in AM leveling up weapons lmao
Yes
Anyone who isn't at least 41 can join another party 
Meanwhile own party is set to havoc 5
its destiny all over again
Wrath rampage unpowered only psword build when
chat what perks and blessings shall i run on this double barrel
What if you're the only party?
was thinking man stopper and full bore but what yall think
Manstopper + double barrel or run n gun
I know i'm just unlucky but I've only got two havoc matches because every time I try to join a party I get refused.
I'm also stuck in elo hell at 22
I feel like I'm stuck in havoc rank hell
Cause I didn't realise you get a skip by doing auric damn
I get teammates that are well...
So i gotta find a flipping havoc 2
the """"Classic"""" knife zealot
And nobody is gonna accept a havoc 1
Like fuck sakes
IM GONNA GOOD AT THE GAAAMMEE
Some players are so bad that they will give up if I don't play shield psyker
like bro
just.. don't run into the open
worst part was he didn't realise I wasn't shield psyker for half the mission and only gave up after he started asking for shield spam
Just do it now
?
S'all I need.
You can still skip
Oh
I got my new havoc assignment and it still told me lol havoc 1
And before that
I completed an auric damn
Before interacting with the havoc terminal
Boom havoc 1
It will update your rank but possibly not your assignment
But if you are 16 it will be easier to find parties at least
Idk my friend did a normal mael and we skipped to 16 after I helped her in an auric mael
Or maybe I'm just crazy

pretty sure auric mael should just skip you to 16 immediately
at like level 5 whats the best brain dead leveling build for vets? (ima psyker main)
Mobility
is there a primary for vets that shines more than others? rn using the default shovel
Knife
Stabby stabby and fast

Chainsword, knife, chainaxe, dueling sword, shock maul, power sword
Thats more than one
i didnt know you couldnt ADS with the pistol lmao
Mk 6 Knife
Ds4
Rashad Combat axe
Power sword
Mk 9 Heavy sword
Those are the ones I would say carve out a meaningful niche
Everything else is fine enough but don't do anything particularly special to justify using them either outside of fun reasons imo
Combat axe????
Yes what about it
I would choose shovel instead
Thats nice but it doesn't really change rashad axe being a top 3 weapon for ages now 
Basically ever since bromentum rework
RASHAD AXE WAS TOP 3??????
Yes...
I am living under a rock
shovel my top 3
Probably the most undisputed top 3 tbh
Some people don't like ds4 and knife having dogshit horde clear, others (like me) hate psword shitty dodges
Rashad does everything well
Like a solid 8/10 in every category
Put bleeding for every non weak spot hit on the knife and it becomes better for hordes
Lacerate is garbage
The crit version then
Flesh tearer is fine but it does not become good at horde clearing
U can kill literally 4 armored trash mobs in 1 swing with caxe
whats ds4
Dueling sword 4
Yeah whoever designed lacerate was on something
"Let's make something proc on non-weakpont on a weapon entirely designed around weakpoints"
real
No guns, only FISTS
Okay, I guess we learn something every day 
no it ain't
you jsut go riposte and hit heads
3x damage on weakspot or 4 stacks of red tickle juice
whats the main use of the little revolver pistol?
Nothing?
Lacerate is one of the worst blessings in the game, ur on ur own
Which one
The zarona or agrinppa
Or whatever it's spelled
i think the 2nd one
Ah, yes, let me put a blessing that rewards not hitting weakpoints on one of the best weakpoint hitting weapons in the game
All I did was post my fucking build and yāall went for my throat talking down on it like a bunch of toxic trolls you didnāt have to say anything if u donāt have anything nice to say then donāt say anything but naw yāall wanna be animals like every other troll and thru the safety of the internet you run your mouth and then talk smack about me itās ridiculous and not fair of anyone to treat some one like that and u have the audacity to say Iām going thru somthing nah you and all the other trolls like you need to get over what your going thru and act right
(copypasta)
They are anti elite guns with good armor pen
Yes 

Took long enough to get here
zarona has the most cleave and staged reloads and ADS
slightly too late
agri is better at unyielding killing with it's fan the hammer and speedloader
is the agrinpaa only good if youre a melee heavy vet then?
every zealot feeling someone suggesting lacerate in discord
you ruined family gathering smh /j
kinda yea, tho both like weapon specialist
I ruined the emperor praising gathering
My very first knife had lacerate and mercy killer, I couldn't get flesh tearer for a very long time. But it had insane stats, so I tried it and it was not good.
Old itemization my beloved
Both are only good as melee heavy vet
Why talk about knife bleed blessings and not why you are sleeping on the chainaxe the absolute most underrated and based weapon in the game

i am the chaxe main
of this server
It even has the BEST bleed blessing in the game :v
A bandit?
I didn't like chainaxe
Chainaxe the only chain weapon to actually feel like a chainsaw on a stick
Chainsword, rashad and catachan are still my favoutire melees
Chainsword suggs 
chsword doesn't suck
it just got power crept
13g is still easy mode and mk4 is still peak chaff clear
chainsword feels good to use though, too bad its kinda sucky against armour.
Chainsword was amazing in patch 13
except the game at high levels isn't normal chaff clear
I even used it on psyker
Idk if it got left behind
you got bruisers and more groups of melee elites
Is there anything to do about the rev buff wise? It kinda sucks fundamentally rn lmao
i mean you can dodge out of it at least now
Being locked into a long ass animation is just the way you throw runs
Spread the damage evenly out through the rev
Yea you can dodge out and do no damage
could always make it similar to eviscerator rev where it only sticks to something when out of cleave, and most of the damage boost is frontloaded into the initial hit
Well, your camera still goes really fucky
dodge+ block out and you'll be safe
only chaxe makes your camera go fucky but that's just cost of service, gatekeeping players off the weapon
Idk why they backloaded the majority of the rev damage
I guess to make you commit but
they jsut need to give it more flakiac damage
You'd think it would actually deal devastating damage as a reward
If the enemy so much as moves past you the camera swings, not as fucky as chaxe but still annoying.
The thing can't even kill a crusher in 2 revs w/o bloodletter
and it will be in a good spot, it doesn't need to be amazing vs carapace when chaxe exists and does that
Also I know it's like a very specific scenario
But i hate how bad it is vs mutant trains
Like 1 mutant you can rev it while it's doing a drive by but if there's 10 coming at you you wish you had almost any other weapon
like the rev is misleading if anything
it's a chaff monster
it's the best raw poxwalker/groaner horde clear in the game available to all human sized classes*
I mean, horde clear isnāt really an issue on most builds, only really on executioner stance builds.
flak and maniac damage buffed and a bit more stagger on specific moves and revs
Since the moment bruisers get mixed in it falls behind
would prob fix a lot of the issues feeling wise,
veterean talk about morrow surviving a bunch of genestealers š
I mentioned rashad, chain sword and catachan swords are my favorites, but everyone started only discussing chain sword. Are catachans good? I thought they are even worse than chain swords, lmao
Devil claws?
yes
They are meh but they have their fans
One of my FAVOURITE weapons
The flak damage is absolutely atrocious
But itās sucks dick against carapace and unyielding
But muh parry
guys which perks do i want on ds4 in havoc?
Uncanny + something
Riposte, precog, or imo agile
Brutal momentum just gives it the most satisfying horde clear in the game
and carapace+maniac/elite/unyielding?
Yea that's what I have on mine
so they fell off harder than chord
They have terrible everything
nah their maniac is good
They deal no damage outside of parries
and unarmored/infested
It's funny
I mean, you need a fucking wheelchair to play havoc effectively, so I donāt see the problem with crutch blessings.
They have good cleave
They are literally the only weapon
buff it's unyielding up and quit trying to make it that weapon that sucks vs flak
it's so weird
can't it just be
That actually would use exploit weakness
1-2 shot weapons with the weapon swap keystone is fun
neutral into flak?
i don't have a reload animation, I have murdering one person in melee
agile isn't a crutch it's just kinda unneeded
I mean crutch in the actual meaning of the term, not as a synonym with overpowered
it's not vt2, dodges are so easy and unpunished in DT unless you are throwing
Are there any good melee weapons that suck into flak? I feel like having bad flak makes it bad by default
That is, they argue agile only helps bad players
And good players will do worse with it
dclaw is more of a zealot weapon anyways
since you can fotf parry to kill crushers and such in one hit
agile doesn't even help bad players cause you'd have to know the dodge mechanics and how you are abusing them
but it's like, taxe has like 5 dodges, and is effective into -2/5
like just block for half a second and they all come back at once
The way i see it, uncanny alr let's you 2tap crushers
Making dodge management infinitely easier for good players is something they wonāt do good with? Seems like a dumb argument but okay
So idk
also taxe is choked into taking power blessings and shred (and BM on some of the marks)
From 0 stacks
I wouldn't run it on taxe
Just cause taxe actually needs stuff to like
Do things
i mean it's even worse competition on dueling sword
thrust, precog, riposte, uncanny?
that's a line up
Thrust is only good for boss damage I think
whole point of thrust is trading raw dps for assured breakpoints
It's literally the same speed to h1 special h1 and kill the crusher anyway
And you lose so much damage on a non weakpoint hit that I don't think thrust will cover that either
First stack of thrust is almost free, in that it seems that you need to wait until a frame after the heavy charging time to release it.
Sure
tbh if you miss weakspot with mk4 duelist you need to get your eyes checked
But you don't need it either way
Like unless you fully charge
You are killing in 2 hits
Maybe precog can do it too
But I'm not gonna bother with precog
also possibly good on non mk4 for horde
So the way i see it is
If uncanny alr let's me 2 tap
Why take more damage if it doesn't upgrade to 1 tap
Outside of thrust fully charging
true more of a zealot thing
with precog+ duelist on top of thrust
so you just 3 shot bosses
Therefore I'll just take infinite dodges
wait what do you mean outside, that's like... you can fully charge thrust significantly faster than another heavy. always
And yea for zealot i get it's different
I don't think so but i have not timed it
nah thrust is a dps drop in terms of multiple stabs
I remember for shmaul people agreed it was a dps loss because 2 heavies is faster than a single fully charged heavy
thrust charges significantly faster than most people think it does
you are just getting it for the ease of use and burst damage/breakpoints
dueling heavy-special-heavy is fast asf
I don't guesstimate how fast it charges
you don't need to fully charge it, you need to wait like 0.4 seconds longer
It's literally an icon on bar
Well you do you, idk, h1 special h1 is faster from what I can tell
Thrust helps on the 1st enemy you attack but i don't see why i would charge it after the first over just h1 special h1
You would need to test the BP's

We had this discussion abit yesterday
because 2 heavies 2 kills is smoother for a lot of people vs 6 attacks 2 kills
Speed vs Thrust
Vs H1 Special
they tbf may have improved it at some point because i see some people talking before about having to do a 'fully charged heavy' which technically doesn't exist, there is no time limit on how long you can charge a heavy other than the 1.5 second time limit on how long the attack action can last
Thats fair but the former doesn't stagger the target
Yea but the damage is all backloaded in that window of time
H1 special h1 will stagger in the middle
You never know
How much worse is the Antax compared to the Rashad? Are they interchangeable or is Rashad just better.
Rashad is just better
antax is still useable but yea rashad is better
Like I agree most of the time the stagger doesn't matter
But there will be situations it would have helped you or a teammate or w/e
despite antax PA being a slash, it has the same stagger but way more damage/cleave than rashads smack
I absolutely despise how slow the antax attacks
tbf
Think I might stick with Antax anyway, heavy attacks feel like shit on Rashad for some reason.
it's only a rashad with 50% finesse worth of attack speed iirc
Aren't their heavy moveset the same
same as rashad being 50% mod score of cleave targets from the antax
ok so p1 is the devil's claw
Or am I misremembering
it's weird
local block_goes_brrr = action_setting and action_setting.block_goes_brrr or action_setting and action_setting.parry_block
did you know parry go brrr
I honestly donāt know, but Rashad feels way different than Antax, might just be me hard coping for Antax though.
yes this is a real line of code in the game
Block indeed does go brrrrrr
Beautiful
aahahah
holy shit
fatshark code
idk whether to laugh or cry
by the way, ogryn slabshield is the only weapon where block go brrr
(this afaik mostly means that you can block unblockable weapons with slab special and parry)
Peak of mid
also space marines 2 in asia is dead as fuck š
Shovel is better
We talked about melee weapons now how about the guns? Which gun(s) stand out above the rest especially for leveling to 30?
Get a real chain weapon like a chaxe
gross
Honestly just play whatever you want
im loyal to my chainsword and my chainsword is loyal to me
Everything is viable u til havoc anyway

And like specifically 35+ havoc only
I want to play the speed loader pistol but I am so ass with it
Tip
Stand still when you shoot
Oh
The accuracy when moving and shooting is goddamn terrible
also you get better autoaim when aiming
For just that gun or in general
It's fairly accurate when not moving though
Boltgun, Revolver, Vraks autogun and bolt pistol work on pretty much every build. But thereās not really a bad gun for Vet
Thank you
shredder autopistol /j
The other revolver is accurate on the move
bolt pistol for funny explosion radius
I genuinely forgot about that gun
lmao
So did fatshark
it's not actually that bad. IF
you use it in a single situation
(which is, you use a full clip or two every time you pull it out before pocketing it again)
To steal all the ammo
Shredder only works on zealot
(without breaks)
From your team?
Trust me bro, Shredder pistol volley fire is havoc viable.
Inspiring barrage shredder pistol vs havoc gunners
well yeah, zealot and sometimes melee psyker are like... the two times it might make sense. veteran likes their ranged attacks so much
psyker assail is just better antiflak tho so
Shredder is a stun gun
Just use a kill gun
It staggers things so you can stab them
No, shock maul is the stun gun 
it has incredibly good blessings... but only if you magdump.
Yeah, correction, there is ONE bad gun for vet.
Iād rather shoot bbs through a straw and hope the emperor himself blesses it.
Blaze away is, on average, 30% strength for an entire mag. 20% if you only use half the mag.
I want shredder to be good because it was so fun
Pinning fire is still +25% strength. Just. There.
Really the base gun just needs a buff the blessings are fine
Yeah that's always been the case
"When your team needs you the most, overweight tuna disconnects you"
It was only good when it had the fucking +100% damage blessing
The main benefits of the base gun are, effectively, better swap speed and movement speed while shooting.
I would unironically use it as it is more
If it had
Run n gun built in
Hipfire in sprint
That would be peak tbh
Sounds fun as heck
tbh yeah that would actually differentiate it from an autogun that is only like 20% slower maybe at best while shooting :x
Yea
The laspistol ticking all those boxes and also not being shit 
I think it fails to differentiate itself from brauto as it is
"but you can sprint 0.2s faster after shooting with an autogun" ok what about being able to sprint while using the gun
I do hate the lasguns but thatās just me
I Recently realised that the laspistol is good lol. Always wrote it off as a dog shit gun for some reason.
Having it be hipfire while sprinting is a legit niche that the brauto would wish it could do
you will fucking love the shit out of lasgun after playing melee only for a bit
I mean it sucks if you don't click heads
Oh! Why?
Slap strapped down on it too, why not
Maybe you were bodyshotting before
Strapped down + blaze away with built in run n gun autopistol 
you don't have to like it, just hold it while sprinting, lol
Even if u do shit damage you are invincible
The only buff I want for las gun is a less shit sfx.
Not like that's any more overpowered than ghost laspistol
fun fact as far as i can tell all sorts of avoiding damage(that isn't block) counts as a successful dodge. incliding dodging ranged fire while sprinting, sliding, and ghost
Dodging ranged fire is weird for some talents like recip
It only counts if you dodge trash mobs and only on the startup of their barrage
Elite gunners do not count for recip
okay yeah so one of the things that count as a 'dodge' afaik is basically the attack missing you while you are in a dodging animation or briefly after dodging?
which is only checked at the start
lessee, it's probably a veteran buff
anyone willing to share a good grenadier build? I just can't seem to get my grenade build to feel as good as my ft and ws builds
I tested it ages ago but maybe things changed idk
...that works tho 
You can see it doesn't stack up to max instantly since it only counts for recip when you dodge the barrage startup
Yes it works
But only if you dodge on the startup of their barrage like I said
If you dodge later on it won't do anything
Cause they shoot in salvos right?
Ye
It only stacks if you dodge right at the beginning of a salvo
Also it does not work on elite gunners period
Which is different from duck and dive btw
Which does work on elite gunners iirc
Want my h40 build
It has no keystone tho
i think that's pretty similar to my stealth build, definitely enjoy that one. might be just that going full in on grenades is more of a gimmick
I'm as close to full grenades as you can get
Only nade talent i don't take is tinkerer
But you can if someone alr took surv
Just path through fire team instead
So i actually use that garbage for one build lmao
From what I can tell
It checks if you've sprinted continuously for a few seconds and stacks once if you did
i think trying to fit in tinkerer and the bolt pistol is my problem
Yeah idk the exact duration but yeah
Counts vs shotgunners & trappers
Oh I see
Doesnāt count vs gunners, reapers and snipers
because my stealth build has everything else and feels great
well afaik t is counted in seconds, and 1 dt means 1 second has elapsed since last tick(this is bad but)
Surprised it doesn't work vs snipers though
Itās not difficult
so when you start sprinting, the template_data has 'sprinting' set to true
and sets "next_buff_t" to the current time, plus 1
Whatās the best recon las gun mark?
when t is greater than or equal to "next_buff_t", it increments/refreshes the buff, and then adds 1 to next_buff_t
(this means that no you can't stutter step to get stacks)
Boltpistol
Unarmored + maniac
Lethal prox
Puncture
I run axe for melee
Can swap marksman for CQKZ
so sprinting for 5 seconds gives you the full buff, then you need to sprint for exactly 1 second every 8 seconds to keep it
Yes and itās horrible lol
One of the worst talents in the game
What r the best blessings/perks for it?
Dumdum infernus
that's pretty close to what i'm running now, doesn't feel as good as my other builds. honestly might just be an issue of preference
Flak + 5% crit chance / maniac
Dum dum
Infernus
It's good on run n gun bistol with knife
veterean needs more damage amirite

Marksman is active more often and hits more breakpoints
they don't have nearly enough damage

Does the crit chance come with flak?
no twinned blast, smh. No gambling
First perk = flak
Second perk = crit chance / maniac
Thanks
You could swap marksman for twinned if u want tbh
Marksman is just too good to pass if already going superiority complex imo
ok combatsword_p2 for dueling swords
also lol it is not faster to stack thrust instead of a second heavy
Isn't that what I was saying
Best melee weapon on vet in yalls opinion?
I'm pretty sure the ttk for 2 heavies is under 1 second
I think more guns should get faster sprint to fire 
h1 start: 0.6s
h1 attack until next start(affected by attack speed) uh ooops maybe wrong mark sec 
shouldn't be smiter_up
left down 
61 mobility 80 everything else. Nice lol
Also you're not considering the human element of not being able to perfectly release the charge on the exact frame you hit 3 stacks every time
Is much easier to do h1 special h1 in that regard as well
Duelling Sword MK4, pretty boring but its the most consistent imo
this is true, although i suppose you could bind a macro to hold lmb for exactly 1.1s
you might as well just not play the game then
And either way
Even if it is marginally faster under ideal conditions
I don't think that is worth a blessing slot
it's not just 'marginally faster', it's like half a heavy lol

0.6s to charge up a heavy(NOT AFFECTED by attack speed!), 0.5s extra only to charge up thrust.
I'm not home to test it myself
I'm alr using the scrub sword anyway
Might as well commit and use the scrub blessing too
oh
dueling sword is actually p3, heavy sword is p2
fatshark why so confusing
why do people like the mkiv anyway
which one does knife need
lol it's stupid how strong the DS without anything
(guessing serrated blade)
Desperado and recip if crit knives
to be fair, psyker until recently literally had no melee talents
Serrated if mercy killer
basically all the stuff on the bottom right, and potentially serrated blade and precision strikes
oops wrong reply
it was busted even on psykeri n the past, but people gave it a pass
now it's on all the human characters
i mean psyker has always been busted, they just have a very high skill floor :v
good chance yes, but iti's still very talent hungry
they're the autoaim class
but like ok
they were harder before, now they're braindead easy
the mk 2 has the same heavy stab, special, heavy stab combo
why not use it instead of mk4
can it chain stabbing heavies for single target and just spam lights for horde clear? š¤
i never tried mk2 tbh
because mk4 just kinda does everything
if you special cancel, yes
h2 is a linesman diagonal heavy which is useful for elites like ragers
well then that's why
mk4 can just keep chaining heavy stabs without any extra work
then there's the mk5, the screaming kid in the back of the car
it has that stupid dodge right lol
yeah both mobility AND defenses apply.
but it almost certainly has the worst moveset with worse heavies
is just, well. the stat stick of the group. :p
oh god it has more dodges too 
might actually have the fastest heavies by a mile tho hmm
well, the right heavy swing does, the left one is kinda slow
Mk5 also has a special->strikedown loop thr rest don't have, easy stunlock chain on ragers
ooo
also 0s cancel of attacks into block which is VERY funny
(you can cancel your damage if you're nott careful)
Mk2 and 4 have special assassin loops and all have special heavy strikedown, mk5 special light loop makes ragers, especially single ones, ez
well, h2 can't be canceled early i think but
no i'm not trtying to quell cancel a dueling sword for 10 attacks a second shush
"weird psyker can't pushattack as fast on dueling swo- wait"
right, veteran can't cheese the pushfollow attacks >.>
(without heavy investment)
ok the thrust on mk 2 is kinda fun ngl
l1, h2 thrust charge, l1, repeat
all duelling swords chain H1 after special
unless u mean light atk chain
not a strike down light attack however
L3 is overhead yea
On mk5 at least
they're not all strikedowns
Yeah
but mk5 moveset is so wack it's not worth
I love mk5 because it's whack
all 3 duelling swords' H1 are strikedown profile
you can completely ignore the strikedown in the chain by block cancelling
which is unusually strong on sword
I remember someone here saying mk5 has an innately stronger block because it has a defenses stat, despite it not being listed
Is it still true?
I read this a while ago
too much effort for a cringe weapon family
ur cringe :c
breed_anim_state
To be fair, a Psyker in melee gets people going ??? already in most cases.
merry krimis vet nerds
whats the horde clear with the mk3 knife like
unless you live in... cringe timezone
awful
but its fun
I like it's moveset a lot
like it's enough that you can not get completely bogged down stuck, but you're gonna be mostly relying on it's movement to avoid that fate
if you get backed against a wall with a load of poxxies you're gonna have crippling depression
well, thats what frag grenades and psykers are for
Chainaxe too for the matter
mhm exactly, it's just something to keep in mind
though the chainaxe is also super slow so you cant really get out of sitations as much
U can have +strength blessings on chaxe for more cleave at least
helps yeah but
no thrust is no bueno...
thrust is too fun
lets you one shot crushers raw
even if it's slow as hell....
I have been trying to remember for a minute, do you guys know which of the Kantrael lasguns is the ābetterā of them all?
Or are the Kantrael not worth it anymore
the middle or the mk4
.. I have three stealth vet builds on my main vet
I should really cut down
Iāve been on my revolver grindset for too long I forgot
on them
No such thing as too much of a build you like
got my original power sword revolver build
got a smoke grenade build with dueling sword and bolter with puncture
Either of the Chain weapons are my favored melee with revolver or plasma
Iām not fond of the dueling sword but i might be inclined to level it shortly
the 2b or whatever its called
way higher fire rate for very little damage sacrifice
I do think they're all mostly good though
just kinda average
I wouldnt run a chainaxe with it though
chainaxe really does desperately need weapon spec to not be awful
it's a nice blessing for it to have
means the zealot has like... actual ranged armor fighting
given its basically just that and the revolver
Iāve had zero issue running it without wep spec, however Iām not pushing high havocs or anything
its been fun on the occassion I ran it
used to run surgical/pinning
but after bolter buffs were expanded + havoc
shattering + puncture seems more consistent
my only issue with stealth vet is that, well
people like golden toughness too much
shout is just too useful over stealth in high havoc
Well itās generating breathing room for the team versus a solo repositioning tool with suppression
With the addition of gold toughness while building space
More gold toughness
I think the issue without weapon spec or at least trench fighter is that your horde clear is even worse again
at least with weapon spec the extra attack speed lets you clear faster
Well I just always run trench fighter
mhm
That might be it
not sure I'd run it on vet tbh, I'd probably go surgical pinning also unless I was running exec stance
I usually just take shattering on zealot as the boltgun is an anti armor tool, throwing knives main ranged weapon
god I wish vet had throwing knives
it would be nicer if grenade regen was a higher up node, tbh
put it right fuckin here
I beg
above the grenades
everyone wants to take this talent anyway
its practically a must have in almost every vet build
Right?
it wouldnt stop VoC being giga, but at least you have more pathing options if you choose to do something else
Then you can further specialize to be a even better grenadier through the middle later
I still miss my Vanguard sprint node
Well you canāt fix VoC being insane without making gold toughness less of a necessity
Voc isn't a necessity
Also, I'd give an additional effect to smoke grenades when tinkered with
voc isnt but demo stockpile is
Make it highlight enemies passign through it
the vast majority of the time at least
it just sucks that the node everyone wants
runs into the strongest least interesting ability the vet has
at least if it was up at the top
voc isnt exactly getting stronger from that change
but the other two abilities get some more fun room for build stuff
would be nice quality of life
I do think the tinker effect for smokes is aight though
double time is quite a big boost its just a shame that it's so out of the way to grab if you go smokes
It'd be great quality of life, not only can teammates stop complaining about being bad and not being able to see through it
... who am I kidding they will still complain
But! It would make sense for vet
hi
thats me
I cant see through them
you gotta stand in em ;-;
use spam tag
That's Star Trek
It's alright. I don't hold it against you.
They are harder to use well though. That's for sure
Whoever told me to get a laptop cooler, this thing is glorious
I should have done it sooner
KLIM Everest
Before
Lowest graphics at 1080p, around 73~77 Celsius
After (2nd lowest setting in cooler)
Medium graphics at 1080p, around 70 Celsius
Nice
Hey what does a meta devil's claw look like?
Mark VII and I are the best?
Also don't forget to clean dust from your laptop cooling fins
It can easily get bad enough to block airflow
mk iv or mk vii, your choice
i run rampage and shred iirc
watched a team stay in the same room for 15 minutes while I was dead because i dared try to push ahead half a room to progress
please send help
oh god they alost had a chance to move forward but tthere's another horde coming(after they already fell back half a room again because someone died :c)
I clean every 2 months
What's the meta plasma gun now?
blessings and perks
Unarmored + flak
Gets hot + rising heat
Any non-shout builds for Havoc people have really liked?
Not really
Shout is universal
Unarmored?
Breakpoints
on?
Specifically dreg gunners
1shs
Dreg gunner 1HS
Dreg Tox bomber 1 bodyshot
hmm
is haymaker any good on mark 6 knife
Haymaker meta for one shooting scab captain in havoc 40 
I miss when you could haymaker bulwarks thru shield
Unarmored + maniac
Lethal prox
Puncture
Itās just the standard Boltpistol build
Ua for gunner bp?
Yea
If u donāt play frags with Boltpistol for some reason Iād go puncture + run&gun
Or better yet, a revolver lol
Puncture+Surgical
Puncture+Lethal Proximity
I always play frag
Puncture seems to be a must have
I used Lethal Proximity when I want to rely more on my frag grenades and I used Surgical when I want to snipe gunners and reapers

Tips on clutching bonbon in no ammo maelstorm?
https://youtu.be/KxMJPopysLc?si=XT21BcqyHRJLSGXv
Sound recording is fucked, but in this situation would it be better to rush into finale
Merry Christmas
Preserve ammo for BoN? Bolt pistol is pretty ammo efficient actually, combine with Survivalist you shouldn't really have ammo problems in those
I mostly still have survival problems...
Merry christmas
Doing a 20 havoc on last try. Vent Purge sniper gauntlet. Looking for some help pretty much.
Also mobian 21st but eh.
Its civi, literally 0 ammo drop
Shot him like 1/2 of my ammo, guy still alive
Hitting the weakspot and throwing nades at it?
My nades do a lot of work for me, Surgical for guaranteed crits
Even if it uses up half your ammo you should be fine afterwards with the number of procs on Survivalist and I have endless frags on those maps
Cant aim weakspot solo, most if my nades go to crusher+bulwark crowd
Admittedly krakking the bonbon more is good, but crusher crowd is higher priority bc i have both demo team + stockpile
Iām just starting to play veteran does anyone aye a good build they could recommend
It can be meta and just something to help with everything
I've been running with recon since i started and until i got into plasma/bolt, seems to work fine
As for builds i've used this https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a565016-bd70-4fe0-8c82-1080bc73412e/veteran-squad-leader one for the longest
Just swapped the weapons
Oh and curios - i got +1 wound instead of extra toughness
Replaced one of them, but now i've moved from it cause extra toughness feels better even if you have to get used to it
I've been having a lot of fun with the below builds, YMMV
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9dbde2b4-3830-421e-9aee-cb4ddaf0a115/veteran-grenadier-5
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9dc6a8fe-ddd0-4cb5-ae4e-f9c8a383fb92/veteran-arbitrator
Veteran build for Warhammer 40k: Darktide, using the Agni Mk Ia Shock Maul and Godwyn-Branx Mk IV Bolt Pistol. Created by Aenion11.
Melee Weapon can be swapped for preference but Bolt Pistol makes the Frag shine
It works on the havoc captains? Really?
Well, it works on bosses map. Or used too last time I had a crazy zealot dude in my bosses map
Would have to check code to confirm flags
Am too lazy for that
I dont play knife anyway
wait haymaker procs on scab captains? 
Ogryn Club Haymaker Meta
Unless it was changed in a patch, yes. I saw a few OS with knife. But does not proc on shield
Still means 20% insta kill everytime you break shields 
Alright, found the line so atm they should be excluded https://github.com/Aussiemon/Darktide-Source-Code/blob/64dd68fdbbc28112761eaa2153040efe32204ad3/scripts/settings/buff/weapon_traits_buff_templates/base_weapon_trait_buff_templates.lua#L341
Now i guess i need to check previous version
After playing mostly Zealot and Psyker in pub Havoc with little success. I jump back to Vet, I feel and play much better.
Found it indeed
So cultist captain used to be instakillable till a few month ago
And I guess I learned a bit how to use git blame 
I could dive deep more but imo they had naming issue with the captain tag since the twins introduction, having to ensure they did not get instagibbed. Then for havoc they did not want us to instagib roaming captain anymore.
Yes, I also suck at vet. Heh.
Why are we posting pictures of easy maelstroms
We gatekeep scoreboards here
Scoreboard
800k at least. psykers gotta be at least >1.1 mil i think
Was more some of us was curious how the run went. Considering I'm a heresy players in auric.
And basically panicking the whole run.
Yes, I don't even really play damnation because I feel like I'll drag the team down.
Idk it was just a random malestrom
Is it time to try auric again?
Its good if u wanna chill sometimes
Use this tactical advantage
How was that chill?
We were chillin
60 million chargers.
Theyre friendly
If you are cornered against a wall maybe. Or you get thrown into the skull room
Completely safe there.
Maybe.
In dt whenever you play below your favored difficulty level you are "chilling"
So he was probably chilling while you were panicking
I am a heresy(at best) player in auric maelstrom, what do you mean it's chill?
Well, auric is where i go to chill too
Need more dakka
Well auroc maelstroms are chill if ur doing havocs all day
I guess. AgentChaos carried basically.
