Yea, I mean, as a soldier, I was thinking one rifle, and one pistol.

#

wow, you gotta pay real money for this in the shop?

hasty grove
#

No

formal ice
#

Ogryn have more drip

cloud quartz
#

Awesome!

hasty grove
#

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

cloud quartz
#

You gotta pay with dockets (the gold coins?), where?

hollow ibex
#

comissary i think it's called

hasty grove
#

The Commisary

hollow ibex
#

oops two ms

cloud quartz
#

On my Zealot, Level 15 armor is from penance only.

hasty grove
#

It’s on the far left side of the ship iirc

#

It has the icon of a breastplate and helmet

hollow ibex
cloud quartz
#

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.

hollow ibex
cloud quartz
#

I'm confused... 🤣

hollow ibex
#

there's a real money microtransaction shop for cosmetics

#

and there's a grindiable shop for cosmetics

#

basically

cloud quartz
#

thats not the contracts, is it?

#

haven't figured out how those work either.

hollow ibex
#

nah contracts are for a special currency

#

that can only be spent with the snooty nobleman, melk

#

it's for weapons and curios

cloud quartz
hollow ibex
#

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

cloud quartz
#

whats the shop called for grindable cosmetics?

cloud quartz
#

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.

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?

#

alright so

#

i have absolutely no clue what im doing with veteran

#

look at the (probably) dogshit i have created

tall torrent
half flax
#

as i said, no clue what im doing, i would like help

grizzled pebble
#

It's so based.

tall torrent
#

Left for havoc, right for base game

#

Idk what melee you’re using

half flax
#

why not krak grenade on havoc

tall torrent
#

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

broken trellis
#

Plasma vet, thoughts/recommendations? I get tons of toughness from horde clearing melee and pop any weird ones with plasma

tall torrent
#

This build isn’t gonna hit plasma’s ideal breakpoints

broken trellis
#

Exploit is just a bridge to trench fighter drill, do you advise I change up to something else?

tall torrent
#

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

broken trellis
#

Breakpoints being the "Important Talents" listed under the plasma gun in your doc or am I missunderstanding?

tall torrent
#

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

broken trellis
#

I'll do some digging and rebuild then, thanks. New to this side of things, kinda just got by till now.

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

tall torrent
half flax
#

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

unreal nova
#

Anyone for 24-25 havoc? APAC region.

half flax
#

What’s the differences between bolt pistol and boltgun? Does one deal more damage? Are they same damage?

hollow ibex
half flax
#

Ah okay

hollow ibex
#

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

wanton dawn
#

So... it is a range increase on the explosion ? That's it ?

hollow ibex
#

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)

wanton dawn
#

Hardly worth locking a blessings slot though imo

burnt vortex
#

Does recon lasgun fall off in later diffs or does it still do ok?

burnt vortex
#

Neat. Now to figure out it's tree

hollow ibex
#

and what else are you going to take on bistol

#

you don't need anything besides lethal prox / puncture

wanton dawn
#

So substantial i never take tinkerer with frags

hollow ibex
wanton dawn
#

It is not bad. It is not that great either

hollow ibex
#

your loss

wanton dawn
#

Indeed

half flax
#

What has higher damage per shot. Bolt gun or bolt pistol

hollow ibex
#

bolter

#

i mean bolter is the much larger gun, so makes sense

wanton dawn
#

Am pretty sure they got the same dmg profile per shot unless smth was patched...

#

I dont have game open so cant check

hollow ibex
#

Can’t check right now but considering bolter does not suffer from breakpoint issues

#

That bistol suffers from

#

I don’t think so 🤔

austere pine
#

can't sleep

#

heretic killing time

hollow ibex
#

Actually nvm maybe they do have the same damage

#

But idk how all the modifiers factor in

wanton dawn
#

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

hollow ibex
#

I mostly rely on FT for BPs on both anyways

#

Or exec stance for bolter

austere pine
#

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

unreal nova
tame lodge
unreal nova
#

I personally think if you ADS Bolter alot, you are better off with the pistol.

burnt vortex
#

Is it ever ok to pick up the Determined node?

tame lodge
#

As long as it's not a shotgun, helbore, laspistol, braced auto

#

Uh

#

What else

burnt vortex
#

Does recon las need it or no?

calm shard
#

recon las gets fuckton of spread when suppressed so I'd say yes

wanton dawn
#

Also better ogryn stagger properties

unreal nova
#

The long pull out time though. Brought flamer to Havoc, I can barely use it due to the pull out time.

wanton dawn
#

Better stagger and suppression oberall

unreal nova
#

Same issue with bolt gun since trying to lvl mastery on it.

vernal trench
#

Dodge

wanton dawn
#

It has harsher weakness yes but it is not like autopistol vs autogun where on is basically a worse version of the other

unreal nova
#

Is more, the thing I wanted to shoot is already dead.

#

Boltgun at least works for bosses.

wanton dawn
#

Funny thing is, boltering boss never worked for me since talent tree update. I just dont get it

unreal nova
#

Oh, I just act like a can opener with it.

#

Wait, is unyielding even armor?

#

Or should I just put something else.

wanton dawn
#

Unyielding is for monster boss and ogryn non carapace

unreal nova
#

Yes, is more the blessing where you add brittleness.

wanton dawn
#

Bolter doesnt benefit much from more armor pen

unreal nova
#

It's not for me though.

wanton dawn
#

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

unreal nova
#

I know revolver isn't.

vernal trench
#

Bolter is good in havoc

unreal nova
#

It's just there to 2 shot crushers.

vernal trench
#

Cant say the same about boltpistol

#

Bolt pistol is just a faster weaker version of boltgun imo

wanton dawn
#

Well, dont try to put "support" blessing on bolter if you want a fair comparison

vernal trench
#

Bolter is great

unreal nova
#

To be fair, you run bolt pistol mostly to buff frags.

#

IDK if it works with kraks to any real degree.

wanton dawn
#

Oh well. I dont see much of either rev nor boltpistol played anyway

#

Or i guess i dont notice cuz i am not impressed

vernal trench
#

If ur a vet why tf would u bring that

#

Ur job is to take out specialists

unreal nova
#

I'm not, Zealot.

vernal trench
#

Not run around like a zealot

#

Revolver and boltpistol more zealot weapons imo

unreal nova
#

Is more, I accidentally brought my boltgun into Havoc.

vernal trench
#

If ur not constantly shooting shit ur not playing vets intended purpose

wanton dawn
#

I mean, i can bring both and make them works just fine with a ws build

vernal trench
#

As long as ur shooting a bunch

#

Shooty shooty good

unreal nova
#

But, frag boomies gud.

#

If Vet.

#

More boomies.

wanton dawn
#

The only support frags need is regen node

#

The rest is meme

unreal nova
#

But bigger boomies.

#

Or fun builds.

wanton dawn
#

I will try it for the lulz, but thats like me bringing bm bayo back in the day

unreal nova
#

Is funni, but needs a ton of luck.

#

5% isn't that great lul.

vernal trench
wanton dawn
#

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

unreal nova
wanton dawn
#

The 1 node per 60s is better regen in practice

unreal nova
#

I know. On a more serious build I would only take that one.

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

austere mica
#

Do not the that

#

Skullcrusher High Voltage is infinitely better

light ridge
#

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

wanton dawn
#

Havoc shotgunner do give some ptsd

austere pine
#

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)

light ridge
#

Though Skullcrusher+Hammerblow makes light attacks a bit more efficient

light ridge
#

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

warm bolt
#

Yeah same it grew on me

#

Still love melta and bolter but the former isnt added yet and the latter has no ammo economy

hollow bane
#

unarmoured or unyielding on plasma gun?

warm bolt
#

I use unyielding tbh

#

Extra damage on them couldnt hurt, you will clear hordes regardless

stoic thorn
#

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

remote sonnet
#

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.

latent parcel
#

holy smokes this tree

remote sonnet
#

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.

latent parcel
#

what weapons did u use

remote sonnet
#

I threw 7 grenades in 1 min.

#

Dclaw and Bolter

wanton dawn
#

Saying it is not as effective kinda implies we realize how effective it is. Compared to the 60s node.

#

It is nice node though

latent parcel
#

very true

wanton dawn
#

Definitely more consistent than twin blade

latent parcel
#

20% KEKW_ogryn

wanton dawn
#

But id still pick the 50% thoughness node over it when given the choice

remote sonnet
#

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

latent parcel
#

twin blast only works with bosses

#

when using kraks

#

if it procs

remote sonnet
#

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.

wanton dawn
#

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

latent parcel
#

ya true

#

i mean if it works for you then its good

wanton dawn
#

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

vernal trench
wanton dawn
#

Bolter dclaw

vernal trench
#

Bolter is good

wanton dawn
#

Which is the less standard part KEKW_ogryn

latent parcel
#

hell id take it to 40

#

heavysword bolter!

vernal trench
#

Theres not even any point to bringing the 60s one

wanton dawn
#

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 ?

latent parcel
#

hell if i know

vernal trench
#

Whats the value on average

latent parcel
#

i just pick 1 or the other

wanton dawn
#

5 per 100

#

Thats literally what % means

vernal trench
#

U get like atleast 500 elites probably a game

#

So its pretty good value

#

And u get grenade pickups too

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

easiest way is to run FT though

If youte running surgical you may as well run DA imo

But then it's just smoother to run puncture because you don't need to tap sprint shoot

Surgical+Puncture makes it so the rough vicinity of the head kills the gunner

the bistol interaction they should really patch out is puncture / warp slice

leave my enhanced frags alone

#

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

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

# hollow ibex depends on havoc or no havoc though

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

sunder is also an option

#

why do u need more cleave?

hollow ibex
#

are you talking about havoc or something

latent parcel
#

of course?

hollow ibex
#

it's not clave

#

cleave

latent parcel
#

u can run a green powersword in maelstroms

hollow ibex

it's damage distribution...

slaughterer is more dps

hollow ibex

try it i dont need to tell you

#

use it in havoc 40 with slaughterer

u can kill moebian without it being charged

nah

you won't cleave past a dude

What havoc rank if u don’t mind my asking

latent parcel
#

i only run 35-40's

#

slaughterer is cleave lol

#

strength is cleave

inland orchid

Awesome I’m still a scrub at below 10+ havoc rank

hollow ibex
#

yes?

inland orchid
#

I gotta level mine up KEKW_ogryn

hollow ibex
#

i thought that much is obvious

ok so

#

bm is worse

#

but u run whatever u want man it doesnt matter

hollow ibex
#

you're the one who said you don't need more cleave

latent parcel
#

with slaughterer man

hollow ibex
#

so i'm just confused why you mentioned slaughterer is more cleave

latent parcel
#

its enough cleave

hollow ibex
#

it's not cleave that we care about

latent parcel
#

let me ask you

hollow ibex
#

this is an empowered weapon

latent parcel
#

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

hollow ibex
#

empowered weapons have a crap ton of cleave in their powered state

#

@tall torrent do you know the math for cleave on PS?

hearty panther
#

11.7 when activated assuming max stats for cleave

hollow ibex
#

so plenty to make brumentum work normally it sounds like?

tall torrent
#

It’s not relevant

#

Get 60% cleave target and call it lol

ocean otter
#

Psyker bad 😡👎

tall torrent
hollow ibex
tall torrent
#

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

hollow ibex
#

sunder on mk6? 🤔

tall torrent
#

Why not

#

It’s the cleave that matters for havoc

hollow ibex
#

ig, since mixed hordes are prob the concern

oblique dew
#

Currently leveling up a zealot and wondering what gun types I should level up for end game stuff? 🙂

hollow ibex
#

the only gun you need is throwing knife

#

but since you must take a secondary slot, bolter or flamer

ruby hull
#

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

midnight totem
#

quick question

terse idol
#

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

midnight totem
#

Clearing a level 39 havoc, does that get you the acheivement for havoc forged?

terse idol
#

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 CatWaggle

midnight totem
#

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

i don't like that damage over time is the only viable strat in high level havoc

hollow ibex
#

no pubs

midnight totem
#

by pubs you mean

#

random high havoc group in party finder?

#

because that exists

hollow ibex
#

you have to have a premade, or go through party finder

heavy rover
#

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

hollow ibex
#

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

heavy rover
#

Once you get to level 30 you can then make optimizations for the specific build you're targeting

hollow ibex
#

the base stats

heavy rover
#

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)

hollow ibex
#

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

heavy rover
#

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

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.

im not saying it is better

Sunder is better for power sword’s role in havoc

I just run axe

havoc 40 axe?

#

Why not

latent parcel

its ight i guess

doesnt do enough for me

tall torrent
#

It’s basically the best veteran melee

latent parcel
#

thats subjective

#

rashad right?

tall torrent
#

Well if you want a melee weapon that does everything it’s combat axe

latent parcel
#

what does the caxe do better then the psword?

#

or ds4 honestly ds4 is broken tho

tall torrent
#

DS4 is irrelevant vs horde

latent parcel
#

its fine vs horde

tall torrent
#

It’s only good vs elites

latent parcel
#

ds4 makes vet feel zealot level easy

tall torrent
#

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

latent parcel
#

i dont know about that chief

#

i take the red nodes tho

tall torrent
latent parcel
#

ds4 has fine horde clear and if its mixed then drop a shredder

tall torrent
#

DS4 is just tolerable

latent parcel
#

ive never struggled vs a horde with a ds4

tall torrent
#

You also don’t need to think about horde clear in havoc in general anyway

#

Half of it is done by a flame weapon

latent parcel
#

u do when ur duo

#

or solo and ur teams dead

tall torrent
#

Then DS4 horde clear is ass lol

its not like insane

but its good enough to get the job done

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.

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

bold sierra
#

I at least can one-tap Dred Ragers easily with folding shovel tho, even not needing to full Thrust, and it staggers them

hearty panther
#

that's why u need ogryn

tall torrent
bold sierra
#

I'm gonna test infantry lasgun with Falter soon on Havoc 38, so dreg ragers might not even be that bad

tall torrent
#

Infantry lasgun doesn’t stagger rager even with falter

#

Falter is for staggering gunner / shotgunner / flamer

bold sierra
#

but gunners staggering is pretty good

tall torrent
#

It’s kind of worse than you think because their staggered animation are really hard to get headshots on

#

Flamer stagger is huge tho

bold sierra
tall torrent
#

The stagger also doesn’t last very long

#

It’s like maybe 1s?

bold sierra
#

maybe I'll reconsider, but I will admit...infantry lasguns dont have many good blessings

tall torrent
#

So it gives you a harder time killing gunners in reality

But it’s really nice for staggering flamers

bold sierra
#

staregryn -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

hollow ibex
narrow frost
#

I saw a havoc 40 once

bold sierra
# radiant chasm Not really, people in havoc should know how to pick out elites and specialists

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.

Dueling is the current meta
