No
Ogryn have more drip
Awesome!
All of the stuff I have I bought with dockets… granted it was just ALOT of dockets
And the backpack was from a penance milestone
You gotta pay with dockets (the gold coins?), where?
comissary i think it's called
The Commisary
oops two ms
On my Zealot, Level 15 armor is from penance only.
It’s on the far left side of the ship iirc
It has the icon of a breastplate and helmet
yeah a lot of cosmetics are earned from penances
The commisary... i thought that was the micro transaction shop...
I love how the Zealot looks, and the religion vibe, but also love how the Veteran keeps his cool and uses his smarts via ranged weapons.
oh there's that too, but it's called commodore vestures
I'm confused... 🤣
there's a real money microtransaction shop for cosmetics
and there's a grindiable shop for cosmetics
basically
nah contracts are for a special currency
that can only be spent with the snooty nobleman, melk
it's for weapons and curios
Hmm... so far I only understand how you get new weapons from the exchange, and new cosmetics via achievements.
you don't have to worry about contracts too much for now
just do them as they come up but don't sweat them
they're not important even later on anyway
it's just a bonus
whats the shop called for grindable cosmetics?
this one
Ahh ok, I remember seeing "Commisary" as a source for cosmetics, in the cosmetics tab of my character for items I don't own yet.
Thought that was some kind of advertisment for the micro transaction shop.
That’s called “commodore’s vestures”
I think I'm an Ogryn. My brain goes
"First 4 letters are same soo..."
Yea, English is not my first language. That shows now 😅
Is head hunter and deadly accurate the best choices on vigilant auto?
Commodores vestures (pause screen one) is the p2p one. Commissary requires ordo dockets (in game currency)
alright so
i have absolutely no clue what im doing with veteran
look at the (probably) dogshit i have created
Don’t do this.
as i said, no clue what im doing, i would like help
It's so based.
why not krak grenade on havoc
Frag is higher priority because it helps clear melee elite waves
If you’re the 2nd veteran and team already has frag + survivalist then krak is not bad
Plasma vet, thoughts/recommendations? I get tons of toughness from horde clearing melee and pop any weird ones with plasma
What’s exploit weakness for
This build isn’t gonna hit plasma’s ideal breakpoints
Exploit is just a bridge to trench fighter drill, do you advise I change up to something else?
25 toughness
And you should build for plasma’s breakpoints
Being able to 1 tap important things makes it much better than having to 2 tap everything
Breakpoints being the "Important Talents" listed under the plasma gun in your doc or am I missunderstanding?
Breakpoints meaning specific damage values needed to kill enemies in as few hits as possible
Plasma gun wants 1 headshot both gunners and both flamers
And 1 bodyshot both shotgunners
Your build is missing those breakpoints
I'll do some digging and rebuild then, thanks. New to this side of things, kinda just got by till now.
Is this from one of the pins?
This is from my work-in-progress steam guide
But the general info is the same in my pinned guide

Is relentless strikes bugged rn?
For duelling sword?
Just asked a dude why relentless strikes on his ds in lobby and all he said is there's a exploit rn
Pretty sure no and it’s just bad
Initially i didn’t like the guns i had to use as vet. Now that i have the bolt pistol all is right in the world
Wish that i didn’t keep getting 60% damage rolls on 22 in a row
It wasnt that much but it felt like it
Anyone for 24-25 havoc? APAC region.
What’s the differences between bolt pistol and boltgun? Does one deal more damage? Are they same damage?
bistol is much more mobile, but has less damage potential than bolter
Ah okay
on vet, with lethal proximity, it can make your frag grenades do funny things though
so it's very good / unique
bolter is a beast of a gun, but definitely not an ideal sidearm like the bistol is
So... it is a range increase on the explosion ? That's it ?
25% range increase, nothing to scoff at
it's just the cherry on top for a weapon that's already good
(with the right build)
Hardly worth locking a blessings slot though imo
Does recon lasgun fall off in later diffs or does it still do ok?
good everywhere
Neat. Now to figure out it's tree
? 25% radius buff to shredders is substantial
and what else are you going to take on bistol
you don't need anything besides lethal prox / puncture
So substantial i never take tinkerer with frags

It is not bad. It is not that great either
Indeed
What has higher damage per shot. Bolt gun or bolt pistol
Am pretty sure they got the same dmg profile per shot unless smth was patched...
I dont have game open so cant check
Can’t check right now but considering bolter does not suffer from breakpoint issues
That bistol suffers from
I don’t think so 🤔
Actually nvm maybe they do have the same damage
But idk how all the modifiers factor in
Bolter has better support blessing and takes left tree ranged dmg node while boltpistol enjoyer usually skip them
I dont know how ppl calculates their bp
game crashes. i can't get back into the game. game assumes i abandoned my havoc assignment. game takes away a lifeline point.
why is the game like this
F
Assume is the alt+F4 fix. Or they lost while you are rebooting.
Same damage profile
I personally think if you ADS Bolter alot, you are better off with the pistol.
Is it ever ok to pick up the Determined node?
Does recon las need it or no?
recon las gets fuckton of spread when suppressed so I'd say yes
Bolter has crit bonus on ads & better cover pen
Also better ogryn stagger properties
The long pull out time though. Brought flamer to Havoc, I can barely use it due to the pull out time.
Better stagger and suppression oberall
Same issue with bolt gun since trying to lvl mastery on it.
Dodge
It has harsher weakness yes but it is not like autopistol vs autogun where on is basically a worse version of the other
Is more, the thing I wanted to shoot is already dead.
Boltgun at least works for bosses.
Funny thing is, boltering boss never worked for me since talent tree update. I just dont get it
Oh, I just act like a can opener with it.
Wait, is unyielding even armor?
Or should I just put something else.
Unyielding is for monster boss and ogryn non carapace
Yes, is more the blessing where you add brittleness.
Bolter doesnt benefit much from more armor pen
It's not for me though.
I mean, you are the one treating bolter as worse rev
Revolver is not treated as a support weapon
So it seems like a weird comparison
I know revolver isn't.
Bolter is good in havoc
It's just there to 2 shot crushers.
Cant say the same about boltpistol
Bolt pistol is just a faster weaker version of boltgun imo
Well, dont try to put "support" blessing on bolter if you want a fair comparison
Bolter is great
To be fair, you run bolt pistol mostly to buff frags.
IDK if it works with kraks to any real degree.
Oh well. I dont see much of either rev nor boltpistol played anyway
Or i guess i dont notice cuz i am not impressed
I'm not, Zealot.
Is more, I accidentally brought my boltgun into Havoc.
If ur not constantly shooting shit ur not playing vets intended purpose
I mean, i can bring both and make them works just fine with a ws build
I will try it for the lulz, but thats like me bringing bm bayo back in the day
In low difficulties
Youll get 5 nade on average per 100 special. There is variance but at the end of the day, frags is a tool amon others
I still ran out, lul.
The 1 node per 60s is better regen in practice
I know. On a more serious build I would only take that one.
Cuz therres no specials pretty much in low difficulties
It was auric maelstrom.
Still not much
I gave up on the shovel
Mark 3 has good attacks but the heavy special seems to be designed to miss anything relevant
Mark 7 special is perfect but the rest of the attacks are annoying
Both hit like a wet noodle anyway
Back to crushing skulls with my trusty shock maul with thrust & hammerblow
Tried it
Hammerblow give crowd control and thrust gives more damage than skullcrusher
Giving the veteran traumatic flashbacks about poxwalkers every halloween by jumping out and scaring him
Havoc shotgunner do give some ptsd
genuinely, learn the shovel horde clear combo and you're set
such a nice, versatile weapon
only thing that makes me not use it is the terrifyingly low unyielding damage
(you legit have better chances killing a bulwark by special hitting his pauldron than getting his head)
Test multiple variations:
Skullcrusher+Thrust
Skullcrusher+High Voltage
Thrust+Hammerblow
Thrust+High Voltage
Skullcrusher+Hammerblow
Dps vs Crushers and Maulers is roughly equal among all combinations on an Agni
Though Skullcrusher+Hammerblow makes light attacks a bit more efficient
Skullcrusher+Hammerblow makes light spam on Munitorum very reliable and keeps hordes off your back
Thrust+Anything works well on Agni for heavy spam
God I love my plasma
Yeah same it grew on me
Still love melta and bolter but the former isnt added yet and the latter has no ammo economy
unarmoured or unyielding on plasma gun?
I use unyielding tbh
Extra damage on them couldnt hurt, you will clear hordes regardless
The fuck you want unarmoured for lmao
Plasma already shreds the base fools
The groaners and poxers
Everyone else is maniac/flak
i think unarmored is for gunners and tox bomber, but not 100% sure
I just cleared Havoc 40 with this build.
I see people from above talking about how Demo team being not as effective. It more effective than you think when you fight vs high intensity spawn.
holy smokes this tree
Some people above say that if vet is not shooting, they are not doing their job. But like, Krak kills all of tough enemies, so I'm doing my job of taking out priority target in a different way.
what weapons did u use
Saying it is not as effective kinda implies we realize how effective it is. Compared to the 60s node.
It is nice node though
very true
Definitely more consistent than twin blade
20% 
But id still pick the 50% thoughness node over it when given the choice
Depend on what you want to do. My way of being ammo efficient is to use grenade. Some people use melee with movement speed.
Also, work great vs bosses
It works vs cluster of armoured, too.
They don't explode at the same time, have a spread, and 2 grenades from the proc don't stick on the same enemy.
I mean, am not sure what the argument is. Except for the 50% tr missing and twin blade this is a pretty standard ws build
The 5% nade regen is not bad. The other node being more consistent mostly mean that if you only have 1 point left you should pick one over the other. Most ppl will take the 2
Interesting build, what weapon do u use
Bolter dclaw
Bolter is good
Which is the less standard part 
Demo is so op on havoc
Theres not even any point to bringing the 60s one
The fact that you need 600 special over a 30 minutes game to generate as much value on average is a pretty good point
Math am i right ?
hell if i know
Whats the value on average
i just pick 1 or the other
U get like atleast 500 elites probably a game
So its pretty good value
And u get grenade pickups too
Wat
hes taking the nades! someone stop him
maff its time for you to come see my bolter infiltrate vet. login
Am in vacation
sad
No intent to login till next year
Infiltrate good
not better then shout. its just fun to change it up
Yea
I bring it cuz dumbasses cant stop getting downed even in maelstroms
So i gotta rescue a ton
Meme man
gotta make it fun somehow in 40's!
Nah man people have literally been using it to solo, apparently it’s not bad. Even the two charge one. https://youtu.be/FLTa5LybWBA?si=51LCRe1mC05dkbqK
"Bet you can't do it without stealth" - You're right, I fucking can't. I gave up. I tried to but gave up after dogs instantly jumping and getting shot through obstacles and crashes while 1 scan group away from the end and other bullshit made me ragequit.
"Skill issue" - Yeah probably but I really have better things to do than keep grinding this...
He isn't wrong though
I feel only Cadian Cut throat is guilty of that
The other two sets of Cadian lines are more muted.
(Most muted with Professional - at most what I am aware of is a light sprinkle of Cadian slang, and the occasional seethed whisper of “This One’s for Cadia” when using Exec stance)
male proffesional cadian still dunks on the cutthroat cadian
Solo is not standard gameloop
It is arguably a different game
Cadian has the funniest voicelines prove me wrong
can't wait for infil to get nerfed like zealot stealth b/c of solo runs
he made a team build one too
You can make it work, like everything. It has interesting properties but in most situation it is a worse version of shout
Cadians when I eat a grape in front of them and it reminds them of their stupid planet exploding
Does this mean there is no way to hit the breakpoints with ws?
Cadians when I get dust in my eye (the dust is a piece of Cadia) 
WS buff means you can rely on crit for the first shoot. You can also play agile
Sorry for the 2nd question: but does puncture actually help with breakpoints? A week ago or so I tested a bit around in the psykhanium and concluded for myself that puncture doesn‘t seem to add anything relevant and therefore opted for surgical to get easy 1shot bodyshot access for specials
Ah true that, makes sense
Cadians when they remember they’re cadian (it reminds them of cadia)
saves you a second shot when killing mobs like gunners cuz the bleed will finish them off
But I couldn‘t find any mob for which that was the case for me. I think I tried taking all damage nodes and puncture was like 10 damage off of one shotting the trapper
Did you consider distance mod ?
Don't remember how I was built but it would bleed out flamers on a weakspot hit for me
it's really close, but it helps with some BPs, and it'll depend on your build too
easiest way is to run FT though
or depend on WS crits
For instance, bolter without dmg node does not body OS sniper at close range
That's pretty silly lol
It is. Hard to notice in game
What is the most cursed veteran loadout and build
Autopistol chain axe smoke exe mf
Why would you want the most cursed build though
Memes
I think thunderhammer with auto pistol would be slightly more redundant
Sir this is vet chat
I forgot vets can’t use it
Ill keep my combat blade thankyou
if you have to use all 30 points, maybe something like this.
oh wait
Ooo what does this one doo
Never used smokes are they any good
just trying to be as wasteful as possible with the points
so take all the travel nodes
no toughness regen nodes
smoke
take the worst possible talents after each travel node
can anyone help me i have a gtx760 and my game wont launch it kept crashing is there any way to fix it?
and then you get this
Not good enough
Sorry which one is that again? Am not only rn
good in havoc, not good anywhere else
Every gun has distance modifier on armor type
It messes with bp
Ahhhh, good question. I didn‘t pay attention to distance at all but I was probably pretty close. Ty for the reminder, gotta recheck later
Its so you don't need to use surgical and you run LP with Puncture
Dredge gunner bp with puncture is just one snap headshot and 1 tick of bleeed
Ah ok perfect, ty
I run n gun 
I did before 
But then it's just smoother to run puncture because you don't need to tap sprint shoot
Tap sprint shoot
Next question what is the most based loadout
Surgical+Puncture makes it so the rough vicinity of the head kills the gunner

I dont take lp. I run rng for the swap boost
Just take LP
it's beautiful
Shoot shotgunner in the groin : Boom headshot!
Stop guiding for LP when 1/it will eventually get patched 2/frags base are already good
Free bottom surgery 
also it's really funny, on a dedicated grenadier build
Sure, but some play boltpistol without trying to be a chugger
What does that even mean 
That mean if you play boltpistol to support grenadier, you are not really intending to play boltpistol
the dastardly bleed knife:
Nah
fuck I don’t have the gif
Lacerate knife is the play style of kings
The thing is, you’re not compromising the effectiveness of the bistol
Relying purely on bleed stacks to kill
By playing grenadier build
You still one shot anything you need to one shot. The rest doesn’t matter.
What you are really saying is that other blessing are crap
Buckweats
I mean that’s also true
Worse version of surgical
Run n gun is eh on bistol
DA isn’t reliable without WS
Mk 3 catachan combat blade
Flesh tearer, uncanny strike
5% melee critical hit chance
25% damage(carapace armoured enemies)
Paired with shredder grenades
With the grenade regeneration and the skillythat gives a chance to get a grenade on elite kill is fun
I believe in Mk V vraks autogun supremacy
Why would it get patched doe
If it wasn't patched at the drop of the steel patch

I'm memeing
More like
I like LP!
RnG is just
a tad clunky
Lethal Prox would be so useless if this interaction got patched out lol
And I don't want to play bistol with surgical and da
it'd be super nice if Infantry Lasgun get a similar brittleness blessing that Helbore has, i'd love that
Cause then I'd just play bolter with surgical and da
Or erm
Surgical and pinning or whatever
I'm guiding towards puncture becuase it does make bps easier
With the caviate that it feels weird to like shoot a dredge gunner and not follow up a shot because they bleed out a moment later
Cuz all blessing interaction with non held weapon got eventually patched out
Thunderous, limbsplitter, bm
BM on melee weapon, siding to Helbore
Is different
You know what's weird too
Hotshot
Yes melee blessings onto a ranged weapon
Blessings affecting a blitz is okay appearently
Cause knife manstopper railgun is still here
And if they didn't want you to cleave 50 ragers
Thunderous was patched on frags
Stop coping 
the bistol interaction they should really patch out is puncture / warp slice

leave my enhanced frags alone
The what?
Brotherr
Come on man
If they didn't nerf manstopper throwing knife
I don't think they'd nerf LP with grenades
Considering it only affects the radius
Also because LP alone on bistol is useless

Until puncture applies the DOT in an AOE
And LP affects the shot in a bigger radius for the shot
Its stinky
Don't worry, I don't even play Psyker
Question. Is there anyway I can make a recon lasgun vet viable up to Havoc? I really like the stupid thing and can't get myself to get rid of it xD
yes, because it's one of the meta weapons in havoc 
That's me right there. :) I have learned to melee until shit hits the fan.
But gun make funny noise
Tbh when I play vet I go meleevet anyway or maybe cosplay as a cowboy with the revolver
Never really use the recon gun
Yes, flamer and gunner 1HS
Specifically the mk 6c in havoc.
If you take fire team, you can keep full breakpoints
If u want weapon specialist & survivalist, you’re going to sacrifice some consistency (usually vs flamers)
What would I drop by going survivalist+specialist so that I only lose consistency vs flamers?
wdym
if marksman/CQKZ are active or if you have at least 1 rising heat stack (requires 2 shots fired beforehand), u can get flamer 1HS
crit is also 1HS
This DS plasma meta is gay. Bring back columnus PS meta
use what u want u dont need it for anything in the game lol
Ah perfect, ty
for havoc you do 😦
Nah
I wouldnt bring an autogun. but you dont need to run plasma ds4
Nah, there’re other good melee options
And plasma is not the only good vet gun in havoc
^
PS is weak in havoc 40
Yeah but u need a really good team to frontline for you then
at that point any of the melee options will work
How about if you are down a player or you queuing with randoms
o o f
psword is not bad. trust
what is your psword build?
What's your build for power sword vet? For havoc?
Nice and simple, I like it
yup
Survivalist?
yea
Why would PS be bad? It's a high tier weapon by all account. I prefer Rashad but use PS in a few setups to save on skill points.
I wish I could not run survivalist or shout in havoc
can you screenshot your build? i'll try it
But it seems like too much of a detriment to the team
it wouldn't
uh its users choice
Just don't get hit
Though, I'm sure that's supposed to be a bug
I have these 2
They're supposedly fixing it, I think
no brumentum on mk6?
who knows / they better not
nothing to fix

replace it with supercharge right?
Probably cara
Veteran bad😡👎
Vet so bad 😦
No😡
So very bad please buff
yes vet bad, plz buff 🥺
vet doesn't have enough weapons, devs pls buff
Ogryn need more buff than you do pal, because he must be the strongest

When tdr was additive on ogryns 😭
Ogryn buff so they can eat poxwalkers and receive damage over time but also refills stamina
Eat too many Ogryn gets tummy ache, minor corruption dmg 
even more reason to have a clense zel around to purify the “meals”
What's the consensus on vet ranged options these days? Still plasma/columnus (vraks)?
go ps6 with slaughterer with pc
Didn’t know the PlayStation 6 was even out
meta's PC / brumentum on PS mk6
both tbh. Not played vet for a bit, and now the helbores are awful, the vigilant autos are awful, the shotguns are awful, infantry las are (I assume) RSI machines, and non vraks autoguns feel slightly less bad but still bad
meta is wrong. slaughterer is better

are you talking about havoc or something
of course?
u can run a green powersword in maelstroms
it's damage distribution...
slaughterer is more dps
(citation needed)
try it i dont need to tell you
use it in havoc 40 with slaughterer
u can kill moebian without it being charged
one at a time, sure 
you won't cleave past a dude
Awesome I’m still a scrub at below 10+ havoc rank
yes?
I gotta level mine up 
i thought that much is obvious
you're the one who said you don't need more cleave
with slaughterer man
so i'm just confused why you mentioned slaughterer is more cleave
its enough cleave
it's not cleave that we care about
let me ask you
this is an empowered weapon
have u used a ps6 in havoc 40?
slaughterer is better ive used both
but you can run whatever im just suggesting you try it
empowered weapons have a crap ton of cleave in their powered state
@tall torrent do you know the math for cleave on PS?
11.7 when activated assuming max stats for cleave
so plenty to make brumentum work normally it sounds like?
10.9 at 60% cleave target
11.7 at 80%
It’s not relevant
Get 60% cleave target and call it lol
Psyker bad 😡👎
Then get sunder
either way still enough to proc brumentum against moebian 21st in havoc 40?
Can’t remember
But power sword is better with sunder in havoc in general
Because you’re not gonna fight basic horde at their full strength most of the time
Sunder is much better vs ragers & maulers
sunder on mk6? 🤔
ig, since mixed hordes are prob the concern
21st at H40 have like 700hp iirc? Or very close
Currently leveling up a zealot and wondering what gun types I should level up for end game stuff? 🙂
the only gun you need is throwing knife
but since you must take a secondary slot, bolter or flamer
at this point fatshark might as well charge vet players 100$ and just merge zealot and vet cosmetics all in one go instead of doing it one week at a time
i love how they cant even be bothered to make new vet cosmetics so they just take zealot ones and recolor them and give them to vet
Im going to try sunder soon im just fine with slaughterer right now. I agree its really good
We had zealot recolours?
the candle armor for vet was a kitbash of zealot armor
bro is using the wrong letter in havoc
Thanks 😁
learn the way of the throwing knife
I intend to 😎 Throwing knife with relic blade and maybe Chorus
i fall asleep playing chorus tbh, but it's very good in havoc
Oh I just realised I'm in the wrong channel lmao
Kind of a tangent to this point but I find most hordes in H40 are dealt most easily with aoe dots
So I don't put too much stock in vet melee horde clear since it's so easy to spam shredders
Had to hold myself from playing so aggressive with a bolter xD
So
Its not a recolour

It just has elements that share armour pieces from a similar set
sunder is effectively x4 cleave and can cleave through carapace (stagger up to 5 maulers in 1 swing), it's strong in havoc
Any of you veteran boys have a good voice of command build ? Tryna give my other classes some love
yeah ofc
Appreciate it
quick question
Survivalist aura? I mean it has a short internal cooldown but it is technically giving you ammo throughout the entire mission if that's what you're asking
Clearing a level 39 havoc, does that get you the acheivement for havoc forged?
5% extra damage aura is fine and can help meet some bps
Focus target and marksmens focus?
Focus target is good for extra damage
Marksmens focus imo is meh, but pairs well with an ilas and potentially automatic weapons
WS imo is too situational for some weapons 
You know, the more I play high havoc, the more I come to the conclusion that
if it were not for the ammo aura, or shout
Vet might not be picked at all
does 'elites' include ogryns?
Believe so yes
Yes
Ogryns and Maulers iirc
Elite is any taggable enemies that can be found in patrol
Agreed. You'll see requests for psykers and zealots, but seldom vets. Ogryn have it a bit worse though. It was build for staff psykers.
i don't like that damage over time is the only viable strat in high level havoc
no pubs
you have to have a premade, or go through party finder
I've seen a few pubs on party finder, but you're probably better off with lfg since comms are increasingly important in high havoc
save your cash and resources until you hit 30
and just play with whatever interests you
none of it matters until you hit 30
invest in a weapon you like
try to get a good roll
then work from there
trying out different weapons and new builds
Once you get to level 30 you can then make optimizations for the specific build you're targeting
The goal for the roll is to have all the stats at 80 except for the dump stat (the stat that does not give meaningful benefit past 80)
like this
most rolls won't be perfect, and tbf you don't need perfection
but you should invest in weapons that are "good enough"
and then go from there
yeah there's a meta, but i wouldn't sweat too much about it
if you want the meta, there's always the guide in the pins
technically anything can work in late-game
netiher of those weapons are meta though
dclaw is a good sidearm if you're focused on using your ranged weapon most of time yeah
Focus on what's fun for you and what works best for your playstyle
i still run it on some builds, even if it's not meta
yeh, just have fun and explore the game
What’s the go to hellebore mark
Nah
Focus target is good
Marksman focus is niche but can be ok
Either the 3 or the 5. Depends on what you're looking for
No?! I thought it was

Me when I, go through a mission with survivalist constantly flipping between 1 and 5 bullets
you've been grossly exaggerating a lot of things lol
Woops!
Im looking to find a really good vet build for havoc any ideas
Preferably not with a dueling sword or recon lasgun
Preference
3 is middle ground
4 is the hardest hitting ranged weapon in the game
5 is the fast one
3 and 5 have stabby bayo
Bet
Oooo and for weapons?
Plasma, laspistol, recon, boltpistol
Combat axe / power sword
I wouldn’t run this for duelling sword
I have a question about focus target. You get a new stack every 2 seconds. If I have 5 stacks, tag a target, then 2 seconds later I retag the target does it add the damage or replace the debuff.
thanks
And blessings/refine?
Which weapon
Rashad mk3 combat axe
Carapace
Elite
Brutal momentum
Headtaker
Achlys mk6 power sword
Elite
Maniac
Power cycler
Brutal momentum / sunder
Also, I finally understand what you all mean after havoc 26, damnation maelstrom be like... RANDOM BS GO.
Don't you need unarmored on rashad for bruiser breakpoint?
Because it's an amazing grenade?
The left one lets you do objective and revive easily
shredders fuck
It staggers everything
one for stagger, 2 for killing mixed hordes
And bleeds for a lot of damage on trashmobs
can kill elites too
then take uncanny 
Smh my head
I like them if I don't have ranged crusher killing weapons
I want to see them turn into Tomatoe Sauce
though i think with uncanny you still "only" take out half a crusher's health with 2 nades
Bleed stacks, stuns, plus you get an extra grenade compared to krak
Uncanny Deez
Extra grenade is not that big of a deal since you regen mostly from the talent
1 grenade every minute
It just kills everything. Horde, ragers, maulers, specials
Krak this Shredder that
It all dies
Where my smokies at? 🚬
Smoke nades are also good but survivalist is very far
OK but what if 420 Blaze it?
I would geniunly pick smokes a lot more often if they were in place of shredders
Veteran auras suck so much dick
🌲
Survivalist comes in handy when the gun psyker takes up all the ammo 
Thank you ill give this a try with recon las
No, unarmored makes bruiser breakpoint easier but you can get it with 5 headtaker stacks
very good for high difficulties
Can krak grenades kill a high havoc crusher with just one?
did u come to argue or ask advice?
I only can say 26 is still instaded.
Had a krak vet on that run, bulwarks, crushers, boom.
Speed, sprint speed, stamina cost, dodge distance
and hover over the stat
First is 60% second is 80
don't advice him bad habits, he must learn how to kill them without kraks
Its a marginal increase in sprint speed really
same
Collateral if possible but still mobility
mobility/stability/collateral
collateral only affects stagger
what do u think???
tried sunder on the psword. its nice against heavy crowds but shit against moebian. i guess pick what u want it to be good at
it's common sense
u need as much ammo as possible
no ammo - rifle is useless
because you play on low difficulties
for now
yes kills them in havoc 40. bulwarks dont die tho
without grenade tinkerer yes? or with
huh, good to know, ty
it problay kills anything with it tho
does 4700 dps i think bulwarks have 5k in havoc 40 so it isnt a big deal just poke them once
they took away the only krak's gimmick
to kill the thing it is attached to, if it's not a boss
If you're asking if you should dump ammo stat, yeah naw, iirc it affects how much ammo you pick up too
High havoc do be hitting different
depends on the mark, check pins
Sunder is for elite
Brutal momentum is for horde
I dont like BM against hordes at all in high havocs
slaughterer feels better lol
So most weapons don’t get to kill them in 1 attack
Sunder is better for power sword’s role in havoc
But I don’t bother with power sword
I just run axe
havoc 40 axe?
Why not
It’s basically the best veteran melee
Well if you want a melee weapon that does everything it’s combat axe
DS4 is irrelevant vs horde
its fine vs horde
It’s only good vs elites
ds4 makes vet feel zealot level easy
Nah lol havoc horde has mass buff, DS4 hits like 2 poxwalkers and that’s it
DS4 is just easy to use
And takes like zero investment into right side
If u want melee to do reasonable damage in havoc you basically need red nodes active
What’s missing then
ds4 has fine horde clear and if its mixed then drop a shredder
DS4 is just tolerable
ive never struggled vs a horde with a ds4
You also don’t need to think about horde clear in havoc in general anyway
Half of it is done by a flame weapon
Then DS4 horde clear is ass lol
It’s tolerable at best lol
like i said it does the job
its just borderline broken honestly
i havent taken caxe into 40 tho
Works if you like DC swords
perfect
Shred Rampage Flak Maniac when you get down to tweaking it
Blessings then perks
Yes
Flak is the most common armor type and maniacs lets parry blend ragers harder
Yes
New player (both as a Vet and a DT player). Any tips?
go to ur keybinds and rebind ur dodge and jump key to being seperate
Any suggestions what to for controller?
Use alt 1.
shit no i got nothing
And then suffer bad tag button placement.
C O N T R O L L E R
What's RB bound to?
Learn how to manage your dodges
Dodge a lot
Kill stuff
Dodge
Be aware of teammates positioning/states
Dodge
It's left bumper to dodge.
Right is ulti.
As a new vet, it's the I'VE GOT YOU IN MY SIGHTS thing.
Or shout.
also remember to melee
melee skills are very important
vet isn't just the "shoot everything" class
Or bayonet them, also works.
though they are damn good at it
in havoc? no
lol a single poxwalker will eat your ds4 light and your PA will only hit two
Shovel
I just yell at my teammates to heal them then kill an elite to do it again
Shov-el
Ogryn thinking friend
Well, I love the Black Templars. Lack of thinking and charging ahead is required
Nu, mini pickaxe them.
just throw a shredder ur good
Lrn2fold.
You should focus on uncanny strike and
Crap
Skull crusher
If you upgrade to the folding shovels you'll want uh, iirc thrust and uncanny
Also, I just realise this, shush. Folding shovel funni.
It goes bonk bonk bonk and can still crack open crushers.
yes thrust uncanny
with cara to do the funnycrusher onetap
I JUST GOT 3 FUCKING 60% DAMAGE BOLTGUNS IN A ROW
That's just normal.
Funni BONK.
Thus, funni thing goes bonk bonk bonk and BONK open crushers.
damage is the dumpstat dont u know?
honestly I wonder why people don't take folding shovels into Havocs, I've been taking it into Havoc 38+ and one-shotting Crushers easily with Thrust and Uncanny. And its mobility is amazing as well with 5 effective dodges
Shovel GOAT
it's a shame Havoc players can't see pass certain loadouts. I just did Havoc 38 with Infantry lasgun, team-tag Stance and folding shovel
TEAM TAG STANCE is underrated for havoc I aint gonna lie
it's so good, able to hit that one-shot breakpoint on Crushers even on Havoc38+ (with tag keystone ofc)
and Mutants
how many stacks of focus fire do you need for the one tap shovel?
i wanna use the shovel too now
i miss the horde clear heavies of that thing
shovel horde clear isn't great, esp the folding shovels
Honestly if you have +elite dmg and carapace, none, but a willy-nilly tag is enough
i see
gotta full-thrust tho ofc
EH, i think it's pretty damn serviceable, was managaing hordes pretty well on Havoc 38 just now, but obviously frags are still better to deal with that.
it's straight up bad in havoc
Not really, people in havoc should know how to pick out elites and specialists
The point could just be used elsewhere
And it gives no buffs
dear vet chat, which pants
yeah, the grox hide leathers were my original set
they look damn good on my ASS
did you even use it at all? I don't want to assume lol, but the amount of people that I see requesting to join my strike team on Havoc 37+ only ever bring dueling swords and all them typical shit, so it's easy to assume a lot of people haven't gone out of their way to actually test other options and experiment.
There are a lot more viable options and builds for Havocs than you think, did Havoc 40 wit Helbore (it actually has amazing melee) and chainsword with RevItUp the other day, bloody amazing.
Shovel’s problem is that it doesn’t stagger melee elite groups, loses its 1 tap crusher/mauler breakpoint due to massively increased enemy health, and doesn’t cleave enough horde enemies due to massively increased enemy mass
it does NOT lose its 1tap crushers/mauler on Havoc 38+
i mean it struggles already even pre-havoc lol
I played it twice just now
If u really want to play with it I guess it’s playable still
A full health crusher has 5400hp in max havoc scaling
for horde clear
Are you sure you hit a full health one
yes, I am aware. Carapace+Elite +Thrust hits the breakpoint
yes
with focus fire, easily
3-stack thrust seems like too much to risk
not really
This still doesn’t address like every other problem I listed lol
I mean, tbh, there ain't many melees that can stagger mixed hordes with a lot of elites, especially Dreg Ragers
not even dueling swords can do that
Yea, blame fatshark
They didn’t design most melee weapons to be able to take on more than 2 ragers at once
Without hit trading, anyway
I at least can one-tap Dred Ragers easily with folding shovel tho, even not needing to full Thrust, and it staggers them
that's why u need ogryn
Yea, it hits one, and the other 4+ won’t really care
sure, but it's better than leaving all 5+ alive lol, just gotta be careful ofc.
I'm gonna test infantry lasgun with Falter soon on Havoc 38, so dreg ragers might not even be that bad
Infantry lasgun doesn’t stagger rager even with falter
Falter is for staggering gunner / shotgunner / flamer
yeah I suppose not
but gunners staggering is pretty good
It’s kind of worse than you think because their staggered animation are really hard to get headshots on
Flamer stagger is huge tho
maybe, but it's great to bring them out of the fight quickly imo, it's why I LOVE slug shotguns on Havocs
maybe I'll reconsider, but I will admit...infantry lasguns dont have many good blessings
So it gives you a harder time killing gunners in reality
But it’s really nice for staggering flamers
-react all you like @hollow ibex , I did Havoc 40 with sluggies and it was amazing, not much more to prove xD. But then again, I was using it on Zealot with impact talents, it's not that great on Vet without any staggering
as long as you're having fun lol
I saw a havoc 40 once
tbh, I do agree that that is optimal. But I wouldn't see pass the value of showing where elites/specials are coming from before they show up on view, or behind gigantic hordes of grunts lol. ANd it's more or less a decent bonus to Stance.
It might provide no buffs, but my buddy said it did feel nice to have the gunners on the defense part of the Snow map tagged, with how big that area is and how many gunners usually spawn at the back. Also great for smoke grenades xD.
Granted, I was using Hellbore with that setup, so it was easier to kill elites and gunners.
Getting kinda bored of the dueling sword. Power maul was pretty cool, what melee would y’all recommend branching out to next
Combat axe
been running folding shovels a lot, chainsword with RevItUp is actually pretty cool imo xD (I found that the cleave blessings don't do too much, might as well go all out utility with bleed), Tactical Axe is nice too, got that special attack that can stunlock Ragers.
i'm not saying you should become a meta slave... but your weapon choices lol
Combat blades are fun
Devils claw swords
Power sword
I'm.using a combat axe rn an its pretty good
Really good single target damage and penetrates armor
combat axe is super effective, and super boring, just like ds
knife and dclaw is fun though
p sword can be fun, but it really depends on the person
Knife gets bonus points because of the punch
When it comes to vet chat Idk about recommending weapon loadout with which you cleared havoc 40 while playing psyker or zealot 
Most vets ive seen are using combat blades, powerswords and Dueling swords for havoc
Dueling is the current meta
I hate using then tho the idea of fencing on a veteran is just odd to me
Only touched em once
On my psyker
giving DS to vet and zealot was a mistake
maybe on zealot, that I agree, on vet I'm kinda ok ish. If anything, I think giving Thrust and that Agile blessing to it was more of a mistake lol
yeah but then what would mediocre players run
run lacerate knife as they tend to do
even mediocre players run power swords all the times lol
and knifes
PS was definitely the meta 
true. dueling sword gave us less knife and power sword users. maybe it's not all bad
I'm kinda glad you see less knives tho, cuz it just doesnt sit well seeing a small ass knife all the times xD. I definitely DON'T like the Duelign sword, but at least it's more of a melee than the knife is
appearance-wise
and rashad was always there
What is good to run on vet, I’m learning endgame stuff a bit more
Rashad is a chef choice, not the meta
