for mk1 i usually run uncanny/skullcrusher
decimator is pretty brutal
takes a whle to build up stacks
and 1 miss, it's all gone
Heads are carapace, everything else is flak despite looking carapace
Just looked and decimator 100%
It's risky.
have fun dropping it constantly 
You miss and poof.
not worth imo
takes a while to stack, goes away instantly
skullcrusher is much more reliable
Mostly just using to clear hordes so I don’t miss much with it
That's about what I use mine for
that's what i use my shovel mostly for, decimator still feels like shit
It's on a build where my recon lasgun is the special killer
but you do you
Foldables just give you an emergency cracker.
Is foldable shovel good? Just feels really slow but haven’t tried it above malice mode
meh
It's an acquired taste but good at putting down maulers and crushers
Too slow for horde control imo
completely overshadowed by stuff like DS and rashad (which tbf are busted)
mk1 shovel
but horde clear feels much worse than mk1
best shovel
i'd rather just use mk1
Rashad? Which one is that?
Gonna give it a shot
Mostly just need something for getting enemies away so I can snipe elites
This just explains foldables.
If you like it, you like it.
If you don't, well... Like every other weapon avaliable, is a taste thing barring in havoc.
It ded still.
😦
.-. I don't work for them.
but i trusted you....
What’s wrong with havoc? Most problems I’ve had is 12 ragers spawning at once
What's a solid voice of command build
If I did, wouldn't I have every cosmetic in the game or something?
Depends on what you're trying to do
Do you want to revive shout? Do you want to just buff the crap out of everyone's toughness?
The second choice
I can send you mine
works for me
you dont?!
Shredder frags and weapon specialist with low downtime between shouts
I’m a dirty executioners stance user
Could I have that too to try out?
Always get Duty and Honor. ALWAYS.
Is that like a crime or something. What's wrong with that
Duh, if I did, why would I be using the 'free' stuff?
Nothing really, but you kinda just gotta sit back and hope nothing hits you and you can’t get another shot in time
I've been meaning to try it out again. Is your build solid for it?
Not really. Still wip
Helbore mk3a with surgical and falter
Think I’m gonna give sustained fire a go and see if it’s worth
I just use the annoying penances outfits.
God I wish
What is that helmet lol
drip clearly
But fr tho
I'm still so disappointed as a Vet main I have to play Zealot to use the weapon I was hoping Vet would get
Esp right after they made so many class exclusives cross class etc
The new sword? I’ve only ever played vet so far idk what they changed
Pain
Same, I've only ever played Vet.
I've played all the classes
Atleast we'll get Melta but man
I really wanted to fw the Greatsword
Probably gonna play ogryn as my next character because I’m tired of them blocking perfect headshots
Falter is very bad

Or well its not that bad but it's not staggering things like you would want for it to stagger
who got better invis, vet or zealot?
There's arguments for both sides
Buy and large, Vet can have it for longer, but Zealot gets more damage potential out of it
definetly recommend you taking weighted fire
With surgical
Don't falter
Imo with toughness refill and the ability for it to last longer vet, but zealots got burst damage
does the toughness replenishment from medkits contribute to the medkit being used up?
if so this is a huge bad node
It could only be used when you use regain hp
Let's seeee
As far as the wiki says it heals up to 2k hp
It might heal the toughness too without expanding the medkit still? I just don't have a source to support my claim
It doesnt, but grims will eat them up incredibly fast
its not that field improv is a bad node (which it is competing with literally free grenades but thats not its real problem)
its just unreliable by its nature as you can't really rely on finding crates, they spawn randomly
It's also just bad on Havoc
there are worse nodes to take still
I thought it'd be better on havoc
Considering the amount of green the enemies could potentially spawn
Not with the ammo/toughness reduction no
You get 1 nade back per charge
Only useful for Nuke Ogryn
Field improv could be good in havoc with a teeny weeny adjustment 
Remove havoc regen malus on crate
oof didn't realize it impacts nades too
okay is this just a me bug or is the whole game fucked
second auric maelstrom completed in a row where right on the end screen
It always did
I get a pop up saying my mission has been aborted due to an error
classic
Anyone know what the shortest malice mission is? Trying to do “on overwatch” penance. Made it to the end of terminus and got hit on leaving…
yeah i don't think i've had a teammate that took field improv so never ntoiced lol
how do i even begin to do this
just use the reconlasgun
get this in no time
Patience mostly
so just stand still and mag dump into hordes (heads)?
I mean
you could get it that way yes but
it wouldnt take that long to get through normal play
plus marksmans focus is pretty good
Well if you want to play it the weird way
with auto weapons
what talents do i get?
But you don't need to stand still for marksmens focus
or get some friends and do it on the start of colloseum mission
basically only the 15 stack one
Camo
imo camo too
nah I think we've had this convo before
As long as you headshot
they are mutmutually exclusive
it's just not worth the skill point imo, you can get max stacks instantly
About half through that rn
i find marksman insufferable without camo
having to ramp up for every fight again is so annoying
as opposed to just starting with 10 stacks
it's only the very beginning of every fight
you're only starting with 10 stacks if you're standing still for over 7 seconds like
is it possible to do it with infantry lasgun or headhunter autogun im trying to get their mastery up
and being able to move around and passively recover is really nice
i'd rather just be able to focus on what i need to kill personally
unless you literally wanna crab walk everywhere which sounds awful and slower than just shooting some dudes 
Just use recon lasgun and spray the horde at head level while ADS, you'll be done in no time
the auto weapons are basically the only weapons that gain anything from it
and apparently the Ilas
i have to get mastery with headhunter autogun and infantry lasgun, can I use either of those or should i stick to recon?
ilas maybe, MF makes no sense with recon
i'd rather still just use FT at the end of the day
ft is just annoying to use since it requires spam pinging
It’s just so peak 
I basically only run ft for the stamina 
Fastest way to get the penance and forget it even exists afterwards
i get that... i'm just lazy and use a mod
there's a mod for it?
oh idc about the penance lol
Well ahh it's more about maintaining the stacks
But yeahh
Unless you're doing like crab vet it's probably okay to skip it
I mean you have 6s between kills to move normally
it's called AutoTag
I feel that's already plenty time to find another enemy
I Can get being against it for old mf which was only 4s?
or 3
i'm lazy about pinging stuff
but after the duration got bumped theres basically never going to be a point in combat your stacks fade
and like someone said, taking camo locks you out of getting 15 stacks which is literally 50% more keystone
I have 5 points left where should i put them
for recon las? go right, grab reciprocity for sure
3 left
2
5% crit chance (right side)
crit?
my vet just went
"STICKY SURPRISE"
"Urggh that soounded bad"
5% crit over 25 toughness?
I mean you can take toughness if you prefer though
vet already has giga toughness imo
or deadshot?
U could drop left keystone for 25 toughness and rending strikes in the middle
Recon’s synergy with left keystone is pretty bad
need the keystone for penance
rip
also it's not that bad ?
Nah it’s ass for recon
boosts your weakspot n crit which is what you want no?
mercantile has infinite spawns
pick the crouch talent
and keep shooting until you run out of bullets
then melee

psword
That shock Maul mastery do be anemic
combat axe or devils claw?
Caxe
at 15 stacks isn't this like a 30% damage increase?
which mark
7.5x15=112.5 0.3x1.125=0.3375
Veteran is literally gasping for toughness without VoC constnatly i hate this lol
headshot more stuff 
Combat axe or devil's claw
Infil
Congrats you went from 1.3 to 1.64 finesse
In terms of scaling it’s not nearly as good as actual finesse guns
I mean... that doesn't mean it's bad though, 34% damage increase
for basically no effort
and no spam ping annoyance
though I should check out the mod
for lasgun, headhunter and infernus?
recon
Hmm, I don't remeber too well, but it's dumdum and something
i want ammo because im spamming for 2500 marksman penance
Yea in comparison laspistol goes from 2.25 to 3.66
dum dum infernus my beloved
so crit chance
It’s not comparable lol
Marksman focus is really just made for specific finesse weapons
ye but you're not comparing it to other weapons xd you're comparing it to itself with another keystone or without one
If you're spamming it you might as well play crab vet
If you're doing it naturally... hmm imo just play with mf
Yea and recon usually is best without keystone if you can’t grab weapon specialist
It wants a bunch of nodes scattered across the tree
Rending for example
how much of an impact does the rending actually provide
I tested some more and gotta say, Vet's stealth is so much better than zealot's
Taking stealth on zealot is literal trolling
Stelath on vet is ok
zealot stealth is damage
makes you able to kill crushers i guess
vet stealth is more varied
i stand by shooting crushers being immense int
waste of ammo on a gun with infinite ammo xd
@tall torrent does full bore work to increase krak damage
i couldn't make zealot stealth work, aside from meme builds
it really is
I had to cancel my 39 assignment cuz some dipshit was using it
I wish I could inspect their builds b4 inviting them
zealot stealth is fun, it's just it's competing with fury of the faithful which is degenerate strong
Flak & unyielding: 0.75 -> 0.85 (multiplicative 13% increase)
Maniac 0.8 -> 0.9 (multiplicative 12.5% increase)
It helps alot to cut down crusher ttk for recon especially
Woooahh
It matters more than other damage buffs

Charge provides almost as much damage, but has 2 charges and has great utility of movement
doesn't seem that nutty I'll be honest
Define "make it work"
Because it is playable
Just infinitely worse than charge
Compared to what
compared to just not having it
my definition of what works is substantially lower on a meme build
What you think of vet stealth though?
vet stealth is good
and same question to you
Didn’t you recommend superiority complex for recon
I'd have to sit n do some like... breakpoint testing to see the dif but breakpoint testing auto weapons sounds grim
Superiority complex actually does less than rending strikes for recon
mostly for melee weapons, and it being one point
No, preacher is only middle path
In like every situation besides shooting at unarmored
Right path is death cultitst
to get rending I'd need to take the toughness node too
you mean edgelord
but ig I could get bring it down if I pathd that way as well
it's just weird
I am somewhat of an edgelord myself
you're a shining pillar of faith in a dark world and then you go stealth
like fuck off cunt
dod
this isn't assassins creed
motherfucker
he went stealth
and then screamed
EMEPREORER
he's not a stealthy person
YOU TRAXIS-3 DEATH CULTISTS ARE LITERAL CANONICAL WORSHIPPERS OF EMPEROR
AND Most zealous of them all
lmaooo
they worship Emperor through acts of death and bloodletting
That one pious guy that would backstab someone on a dark alley because they didn't pray 25 times a day
Actually ROgue Trader dlc shown death cultists pretty well
pay your tithe or next thing you know... ||"Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru!!!"||
what melee weapon you find best for vet?
Not only is it just plain old fucking boring to copy/paste another ability from another class, but it's just fucking lame as hell for a zealot regardless
power sword is my shit
I
WILL
EAT
YOUR
ASS
Do it

You wont
No, death cultists are cool and based
They potentially could be most interesting path
just not implemented well
stinky and lame
Axe
tactical
Tac axe is playable, they’re basically DC swords if they did actual flak damage
Hellbore lasgun
or at least Needle pistols
sort of a weird description
i always thought them of more akin to knife without the speed boost on heavy
They kill ragers really well which is what most people take DC swords for but they also do damage vs flak
to me the mobility is more of a selling point
and the less stressful moveset compared to knife
depends on what you're looking for in the build
no parry though
which is basically the only interesting thing about the devils claw
wasn't a huge fan of the tac axe movesets tbh
I don’t like banking damage on parry ngl
that's fair, more just that it's a fun defensive tool
big agree that this being the only way to deal with carapace is stupid and not fun
I'd massively prefer if whatever the next tide game is has a more complex melee system as
parries n proper blocking would be fun
also being able to actually control your attack direction
something like chivalry or mount n blade
I like seeing 20 ragers come at me
And parrying them like its darkspuls
that’s a very strange comparison
ohg i see
fair
idk if i agree but i see the reasoning
nope, smite psyker !
Yeah that one was a slog since I didn't normally use that keystone either.
just use a braced autogun and spray hordes
or vraks
Recon Deathspitter 14
Yeah yeah
Mf and Recon bad but that's besides the point
Or
Zarona Shotgun
Me as I continue to suggest
Dlcaw NEEDS parry blessings
And less "impact"
None
never played so unsure on the difference 
for real this would be cool
though having to parry to kill carapace is still problematic
i LOVE trying to parry carapace enemies and then smyker comes in and staggers them
pls no
i actually really like fatshark's combat system and I do not want it to go away
i dont believe adding controlled directional attacks would fix many weapons
What blessings and perks work best on bolter for mulching crusher waves?
theres lots of games with directional attacking like that, imo we dont need to lose the extremely fun and unique system fatshark has created to join those games
Or perhaps more specifically is shattering impact of any use on hitting breakpoints on crushers?
shattering impact and puncture for reliable 4 shot against crushers
but it's prob not worth it, pretty sure you lose breakpoints elsewhere
Was more thinking for my zealot and tbh I tend to get better input here lol
ok yeah that combo's better on zealot tbh
since you should be running knife
most things just get a knife to the face anyway
Mhm, pairing it with relic and throwing knives
Part of me wants to use flamer on this spec, but it's so much overlap with relic
well flamer can burn out bulwarks, which is very nice
True
Just hate how long crusher kills on relic. It's amazing on everything else but them
i think you one or two shot them with fury right?
it should be reasonably quick both with or without fury
obv need to be careful if there's like ten of them though
Hence why focused on crusher waves
Shattering + puncture for consistency
But if you like gambling for potentially higher numbers against more enemies, cavalcade is pretty good too
I run cavalcade + puncture
Interesting, I'll try experimenting with both
it''d just be significantly more interesting
the current forced combo system just feels bad
blocking is also simplistic and lacks a skill component
there's no parrying outside of the devils claw
idk melee could be so much more varied and interesting
it opens up space in enemy design to have certain types of armor strong against different things, or shielded enemies you try to poke around
Cavalcade does better into ragers & bosses compared to shattering, but shattering is most consistent vs crushers
I run Boltgun with relic blade so I kind of don’t need my gun to exclusively deal with crushers
This literally is already how the game is designed
you have no control over which attack in the sequence you do
That's fair. Once you've cleaned up a few, the rest are easy pickings for relic
and some weapon marks straight up have no variety to their move set
You do, you can weave lights/heavies/push attacks to open different combos
There is a skill component to it, it’s just not coded to do anything by default
they're limited and you need to follow set paths to get the thing you want
Perfect blocking is a thing in this game
rather than applying what is good in the moment
it is?
Ya
It just doesn’t do anything unless u have a specific function tied to it
There are a handful of blessings tied to it
suchas
Perfect blocking is coded as an activation condition
mmh okay
Perfect block with DC swords’ parry caps the maximum stamina cost to 2 I believe
Everybody wants anything other than the game they're playing
idk like as a point of comparison
Tale as old as time
darkest darkness or some shit
A directional system is kind of an odd request for a horde game too
dark n darker!
dark n darker has melee very similar to darktide
and pvp is far simpler, and far less interesting compared with games with omnidirectional attacking
some weapons don't feel so bad in darktide, the ones with a fun move set
but other weapons are horrendously boring
Homie you are allowed to use what you enjoy
Fun to you is boring to someone else, and vice versa
You don't have to stick to meta
wouldnt it be better if every weapon had a fun and varied move set though
meta like its not the meta weapons with boring movesets
like the ds
or the rashad
Wouldn't it be great if the game was designed so literally everyone was happy about everything? Oh wait that's impossible, people always bitch
idk I just see no benefit to the current system
beyond making the game simpler
and maybe that's your pref but, I prefer higher skill elements in games
Then play something else, there's like unlimited games in the world
am I not allowed to hope for a better combat system in the games I do enjoy?
No one's making you play darktide with a Rashad
or for the games I like to have better systems?
I mean I'm not using it 
like realistically, what would having the option to choose your attack types actually negatively effect?
The game is the way it is. Maybe program your own game with your perfect combat system
I mean other than the fact it'd require an entire rework to the games combat system, damage system, blessing system I feel that yes there would be negative effects
yeah I mean its not really viable for these changes to come to darktide

but I'm pretty sure I specified a future game
I mean maybe the UE5 game could have that
the ue5 game?
such a reductive comment though like.. what does that bring
any time anyone suggests a change
"maybe make your own game"
don't like the crafting?
make your own game
Yes because suggesting an impossible overhaul to the entire structure of a game is very constructive
its not an overhaul if its a future game though?
You're literally saying "I wish this game was a different game"
it's just a different direction
also the gameplay wouldnt be that different
it'd just have more player agencyt
I am not having a fun time with crosshair hud and custom hud it is so tedious and I don't understand
never used these mods so can't comment, what's the effect you're tryna get?
Darktide has a million design problems but the core gameplay is fun for a lot of people which is why the game is still played despite having myriad issues
There are some positions open at fatshark for a game being made in ue5
clearly in the early concept stages right now but it does exist
I dont think the combo system is the good part of the darktide game design though?
in fact I'd argue its the primary weakness
The question is more like, how much does that added agency matter in terms of unique weapon feels and overall balance
Besides given fatshark’s code I’m sure nothing will go wrong with a deep foundational rebuild to their combat system even for a new game
I want my stuff at the center of my screen which I can do relatively easy but the mods have too many options and looks bloated as fuck I want to remove some symbols from the screen and when I remove a symbol the entire crosshair had just disappears
I mean it'd open up a significant amount of enemy design variety as it puts the tools in you hands to deal with differing situations.
That's largely a matter of subjective taste
it'd give weapons more ways to be balanced
Best you join a modding discord server or contact people that contributed to the mod
Where do I find them
Ask around where you found the mods
there is a darktide modding discord, not sure if I can post links here but if you google you'll find it easily
I don’t think extra complexity is always a good thing
Thx
not always, but I think in this case it would be
Communites channel works too
more enemy interaction would just be fun
DT itself is already unnecessarily complex
The different movesets are a key factor for weapon variety too
the skill trees n blessings are fucked
but the actual in game combat is pretty simple
Buddy I have 2 whole sections in my guide just talking about how damage works
That’s telling a lot
yeah but as I said
I wish darktide devs would let me fly around in a valk and blow shit up with missles, it would really open up whole new gameplay elements. They could design anti air enemies and missile resistance mechanics
i read the guide
100000% they need to improve how things are explained and simplify the stats
that'd just be a completely different game
being able to control your swing direction is no where near as radical a change
I wouldn’t be opposed to having more unique attacks chained from specific combos tho
Like pickaxes
Changing the entire way combat works in a combat game is changing the entire game and the entire code
I mean
do you seriously think having omnidirectional attacks
is anywhere close
to literally flying around in a vehicle??????
the attacks and directions are already in the game
It's just as pointless of a request
you just can't choose their order
I mean my judge was geeking out about tanks with heavy flamers with an ogryn. Maybe one day
push the tank map would be p fun
like the uhh
egg mission from drg
maybe too gimicky like the train tho
It is legitimately adorable how giddy the judge gets over the idea of a tank with a heavy flamer
or just stop designing weapons with horrendously simple attack patterns
there are so many spammy weapons in this game
Homie, you are allowed to use other combos than the optimal ones
a lot of special attacks on melees that are completely useless
if there's no point to doing so though?
like compare the combat blade mk3 to half the melee weapons in the game
it has a lot of less than optimal attack patterns
but its fun
its varied
every part of the weapon has a use
then compare that to the dueling sword like..
For fun
And if you optimize things like that, you are always going to remove variety
there are weapons that just do not have fun combos though
What you are suggesting wouldn't fix it, because you still insist on only playing the optimal combo
or all the attacks in their combos are of a specific type
like there are several weapons that are just strike downs
or the heavy swords which basically have completely useless lights
or weapons that are just spam lights
Here's a thought, there are a variety of different weapons that behave differently. Some are simple, some are complex, some have different use cases.
And you can play with the ones you like
slow claps in power sword
Is it fair to assume you run maniac and carapace on your bolter?
tbh, I'm sure they'll go back and adjust a lot of them... there's just A LOT of glaring issues in the game atm and idk if it's high on their priority list
Unyielding elite, for better boss damage
I wish every weapon was viable for H40 as an example
I mean they're on holiday rn so
no changes for a while
and the balance team are honestly on crack
holiday really has nothing to do with it
not to be too rude but I'm convinced they make changes by throwing darts at a dart board randomly
it's moreso the development speed at a snail's pace
that one dev carefully adjusting a weapons stats
vs
the other dev leaving horrendously broken things in the game or buffing already s tier options

... no?
a lot of weapons that are good still have quality of life issues
like the chain axe
Shredder is fine
also we've seen them carefully give qol changes to the thunder hammer
then just... give the dueling sword to everyone with no changes
its amazing if you know how to use it
or give better blessings to the plasma gun
which was already giga broken
the game definitely needs more nerfs than buffs but...
eh
Honestly? Heavy sword struggles to deal with carapace and there's so many carapace enemies in that mode, but someone gave me a build to try with it, so next week when Havoc is actually working (lmao) I'm gonna test it
ehh
who tf solo'd 40
that sounds aids
the bot AI logic makes me pee blood
What logic? The lack thereof?

They're essentially just walking guns
I think the entire mode is fucked
I imagine it wont matter anyway since you cant rank or gain rewards
just for the fun of it
mmh
isnt tension reduction already a broken mechanic that doesnt work even outside havoc
I think it's only broken for aurics
I could be wrong but that's it as far as I know
What, chain axe is great
It works its just mostly you need like someone to truly die or multiple rapid downs
needs an attack speed buff so it's not so slow into horde
I just never notice it
just a qol change
can use ranged or krak to deal with carapace
oh for sure, but the argument I was having was certain weapons in the higher end content
But the tradeoff for taking kraks is not taking shredders
also needs the ds nuked so it's not depressing to use a balanced weapon while someone oneshots your crusher mid animation 
DS should get brutal momentum
also not enough kraks in the world to rely exclusively on that
DS should be taken out back
With all the crushers and maulers havoc spawns? Shit yeah there ain't enough
that's the argument I used for why bring an Hsword as zealot, when firestorm + book can paralyze AND fry any horde, then you still have your hammer to 1-shot any bosses
Even with demo team and stockpile you will never throw enough kraks
True
understandable
man bulwarks are
bulwark doesn't rlly do any damage
so fucking annoying of late
You just cannot throw enough kraks to deal with the literal 30 bulwarks and crushers that spawn all at once and rush your ass
it feels way more common for 3 of them to just spawn inside of eachother
kraks are for crushers
They spawn in groups of 4 lmfao
bulwarks are more annoying then crushers fr
ogre on ogre on ogre action
more annoying
crusher does nothing because all its attacks are so telegraphed
but not as lethal
They're the tankiest enemies in the game even without the fucking shield
they absolutely can be
their shield bash removes all your stamina iirc
meh
so they force you to move constantly
no
their shield hit detection is so wack too...
I can see where you're coming from but I have to disagree
stab them in the side and have sparks come out of no where
ig you're a vet tho, so shields piss you off
crushers might be more of a threat if uncanny didn't exist
Even if you have a crusher conga line that can squeeze off an overhead, the disabling power of bulwarks makes them more dangerous to me at least
Because my options are
- Waste a ton of plasma ammo on them
- Take kraks over shredders
- Rely on my team to do fucking anything except mind their business
all the main meta melee options certainly not the heavy sword tho
I just use Rashad/Power Sword
DS feels weird to spend more time dancing than killing
heavy sword carapace clear makes me want to cry
axe is a much better all rounder
knife number 1 just because you can ignore the game?
I like the dueling sword just because it's so broken I don't have to waste plasma ammo on crushers
yeah dueling sword clear time on carapace is
I can just heavy>alt poke>heavy then to death
stupid
yeah the knife is like... what.. +0.8 speed? x1.25 on top of that
on average ish
hmm idk it definitely feels slow
er
unless you've got damage boosts fromy our ability to speed it up
DS + Weapon Specialist makes for a ridiculous melee tool
Pop one guy with your gun and just cut up a whole horde
Basically 
man its so rough as I really like the aggression and move speed from the knife
I just don't like how the axes feel personally
but I hate that it lets people speed run off
Both combat and tac
both have horrendously dry movesets
the combat axe is real good tho
The sapper shovel is that nice middle ground between the moveset of the axe and the stopping power of other melee choices
And the funny ha-ha shovel men in gas masks have gotten two outfit releases by now
mostly just knocking shit around rather than killing em
Me who plays on Xbox with a controller:
both steel legion and krieg have gotten two releases?
what about the rest of the guard 
And the Cadian heavy battlegear has been around twice
Give me some fucking Vostroyan firstborn
I want to wear bright red and a bearskin hat in a hive city
I’ll be really surprised if we ever get a Tanith first & only drop lmao
tbf you can
half ghetto yourself a setup
thers a chest cosmetic thats similar ish...
if I'm remembering right
its like white shirt, green neck thing
Nah I want a jungle recon sniper poncho for veteran
yeah then no dice ;-;
Oh, the Dorsian campaign scarf?
maybe I have no idea 
I'd also love a penal legion release
It's a white tank top with a drab green scarf
its so fitting for the game
yee yee
We got savlar chem dogs released twice
Enough with the coat/jacket endless loop for veteran
Yea
I only know of the once
ah its the big ole coat
It came out (first)
And got a rerun recently (second)
I got the jacket because I wanted to make like a field-repaired steel legion set
It was the Moebian 153rd Commissar boots, Chem Dogs Jacket, and the Armageddon Mark 3e pot helm
I am a little pissed we haven't had proper flak armor in the shop yet
Just the heavy stuff
the cadian penance armor with the little scrolls is pretty dope
not normally a fan of cadia stuff but that one I am using rn
I don't like it because it only has one glove or else I'd rock it so hard
lets you see your tattoos tho
I dont mind the one glove but
it should be on the other hand probably
I use the infiltrator chest and boots with the black Agripnna flak helmet in the shop right now
get em in...
My executioner's stance setup has the Cadian 802nd heavy boots and chest with the green agripnna flak helmet from when the game first launched on xbox
My res-shout has the Sludge Camo heavy battlegear chest and boots with a sludge camo command cap for that Kasrkin sergeant look
Sludge camo heavy Cadian armor is turbo buggy
Quick question, do I uncanny strike or Mercy Killer? Specifically for vet?
Uncanny
Uncanny is safe but boring
It applies to your guns too
No
Uncanny only works when melee weapon is in hand
What weapon are you blessing?
I think he meant the dots
DOTs are not “gun”
Mercy killer is extra damage on bleeding targets no?
That’s fair
I thought the buff persisted for a little bit after you swapped was all
I was incorrect
Extra weakspot finesse
Nah. Most blessings turn off when you weapon switch
actually
Actually that reminds me, on the dueling sword, is it typically better to grab extra finesse on dodge or extra crit when paired with uncanny
I think I use extra crit
Riposte is usually better than precog
But I'm not super knowledgeable on the dueling sword
The only exception is zealot where they’re a little more even (because of zealot’s ultra broken duellist talent)
Dueling sword mk4 my beloved
If not a goth mommy under my christmas tree next year
I want a DS
I love to imagine you just three-stooges poke them in both eyes with the heavy thrust into alt thrust combo
you can kill a (non-havoc) crusher with ds4 before the overhead lands
That combo literally carried over to when I first picked up the knife
And started trying it out
I legit
Stabbed
so you don't even need to bother spending the half second on alt thrust to stagger, you can just kill them
Punched
Stabbed punched
It was so funny
me after fighting off a 4 crusher wave while my teammates back up:
Smashing heaters into the jaws of men in metal helmets goes so hard
Good to know, thank you
Is knoife. I was thinking of building it on Vet cos a little better than DS4 on hordes.
LUL.
nice thing is that precog lasts for 3x as long
Because any weapon that has both of those blessings available usually has very high crit finesse vs unyielding & carapace
DS is NOT for horde clearing
personally prefer the longer duration
Precog is only 2s
Definitely a single target device
I mean, I know. It's the same for knoife.
Well yeah, it’s for poking. Very very hard
Knife is gremlin energy
Is just knoife has mk6 and you know.
based weapon
I regret not using it sooner its so fun
that's my favourite kind of energy
zoomin
And my vet is boom gremlin.
If I recall right in the voice flavor text for LC she got caught trying to steal booze from a supply room
She was indeed caught
She tried justifying it, saying something along the lines of,
"Why wasn't there a guard there then?"
why lol, cuz it's good?
its more than good its overpowered
Probably because it's easy and safe
Zero investment melee that’s a bit too good
i mean the combat blade isn't exactly a mid tier sleeper weapon 
ah, ya but cringe? it's just a weapon lmao
though yeah the ds is better
picture this
combat blade is low S tier, dueling sword is SS+ tier
you're a chain axe user, you love this weapon you've invested heavily into the melee tree to make it usable
you're half way through chaining a crusher to death
If I run smite psyker and use a dueling sword, will I be so cringe that they cancel each other out?
when a ds comes along
one shots your crusher
then proceeds to kill the next before you even finish your wind up animation
I can see that
and they have 0 investment in the melee tree
but idk if cringe is the right word
cringe is like, a guy using an OP weapon and then talking shit
rage inducing is the word I might use if such a thing happened to me 
Nah you’d just tank everyone else’s framerate
@tall torrent tried switching it up, love the power sword and rashad
Power sword's PA combo is so good
god smite on it's launch was so fucking bad
that and the ogryn box sent my frame rate to 0
Boom box still makes Xbox chug
Thankfully ogryn’s box is down horrendously bad
dueling sword is just straight up busted. There is a reason everyone in havoc 35+ uses it. It was foolish for fatshark to give it to vet and zealot
Nah it drops every system’s frames, it’s not exclusive to Xbox
it was already busted on psyker
The fucking purge Staff too
and they gave it to classes with better melee....
flame effects with dynamic lighting on are
basically impossible to see anything
or ray traced lighting even
its such a poorly implemented feature
it's never felt like a zealot weapon to me either
so i never use it
what feels like a zealot weapon
something big and heavy
Relic blade 
relic blade, thunder hammer, eviscrator?
I'm gonna guess relic sword and hammer
Relic blade my beloved
scuba gets it
knife zealot has entered the chat
Relic blade / thunder hammer / crusher / evicerator are like peak zealot identity
knife is generic enough for everyone
Unfortunately evicerator is 
knife is quintessential zealotcore
but duelling sword on a zealot feels weird
dueling sword is just knife but it works for a chorus/fury build
Knoife is plenty fitting for a soldier. It’s just a little off on psyker
Power fist for Vet when
Nah power armor for vet when
We’re already tankier than power armor
But recoil and heavy weapons
And speed
This just in: yelling makes you tanker than a Space Marine in Gravis armor
A lot of people don’t use ds in h40
I don’t use it 🤷♀️
god I'd drool
I see a lot of psword, even a chainaxe
Or using an inquisitor cross
I have literally never seen anyone use anything but DS at havoc 40
Lotta psykers with deimos/fgs
Do more h40 🤷♀️
That's a book and I don't care who says otherwise
“IN HIS HOLY NAME”
ZESTY BOOK!
I did 4 attempts of 40 to completion and I dont feel like going back
I have had 40 every week it was possible
I genuinely love that chorus is straight up just “the power of the god emperor compels you foul heretic”
chainaxe? I've not seen another person using one in
eons
Yep
rare breed
Begone from my sight!
fun haver
I was MAD skeptical but he made it work
I am a pretty chill host
I only use Chainaxe on the dps version of my Grenadier build
good, honestly the metaslave culture in havoc is the absolute worst part
I’ve used ds4, relic, deimos, psword, fgs and I’m gonna do a crucis hammer build. I only did ds like once tho because the host asked for it
Mfw im declined because im rocking Reject title and no frame
ngl tho it does pain me seeing people tryna join games with just bad curios
I also accept and win with ogryns in the team
I personally feel like a huge asshole when I cause a loss in someone else's havoc so I do try to use the meta as best I can
12% toughness is not enough I'm sorry reject
I mean that's fair, but they get three attempts
and a lot of "non meta" options really aint that bad
I do feel like the curio rng is the true endgame now
my 3 stamina curios are meta
you'll see
I had one team derank me from 40 to 38 before we won 😂
3x 3 stam curios?
I just feel bad for the people who don't have them already
Unfortunate
I run toughness/toughness/stam
It's funny because there is one single build that can make that work
I saw a guy running 3x 3 stam
I've been trying to roll one on my psyker for ages and just cannot get them
I was shook
But you are like a Psyker with the glass cannon
i also run t/t/s
Same, with CDR, stam regen and toughness for the minors
Me with all 430 21% Health Curios on all my characters
the main sad thing about running multiple stam curios is that stam regen is a flat rate
CDR, +T, +S

yes thats on all my curios
+ordo dockets... I need my money
CDR HP T is my goto
I cant afford to buy weapons 
IMO stam + stam regen is really good on every class except maybe ogryn
not really needed on psyker since your delay is so short
zealot already has fast regen rate I think... cant member
but I guess the faster your base rate the more you get from the curio add on
I’ve been testing an h40 block efficiency taunt shieldgryn with last guard or whatever that mega block cost blessing is
You can right click block reapers with shield and they can’t break you 😂
im 20 ish games from Havoc Exemplar title
from the episode of: Big Winner from Regular Show.
Gonna run that as my main rather than havoc forged
The Psyker with Deflector, Kinetic Deflection, and Empyric Resolve mogging 1 million ragers
I still remember the days when Duelling Sword had infinite block
me earlier when my two auric maelstrom games bugged and refused to payout my like 120k
People say that but try it, you can feel the difference
God honestly that bug is so annoying
It’s also really good to have a lot of stam when doing meleeker with SG so that you can block at max peril
I did 2 auric maelstroms and they also didn't pay me
Kira is the reason why the havoc table doesn't work, she had a big crashout on the Darktide servers
yeah I am not playing till its fixed as
that sucks
cant grind auric for mats... cant grind havoc to get my level up
I'm doing solo mode and being silly as a Veteran with a Relic Sword
yeah I can give it a go, I dont really use many weapons with a good push attack on zealot
mostly on vet
||Since Vet should have it||
