well yeah
👌
also I'm going to sleep soon
I'll let you know when I need people
Yurrr
You have a goodnight
And sweet dreams
what is the best veteran build
any build with dueling sword mk4 is the best
thanks FS for an amazing balancing of this weapon
seems like none of the QA testers decided to bring up that testing the havoc mode with the S tier weapons would be a bad idea or try to nerf it in any way
I think its underwhelming against mixed horde but hey, i don't recommend stuff
Shoot or lob nades into mixed horde
dont use ds4
There are melee that don't need to do either 
like psword
Caxe is also good at it
yes
Powersword is solid I prefer it over dueling sword I just find sometimes I like the mobility of the dueling sword
And not having to fuss activating the power
when small psword rework
Dueling sword feels good to use
yes. but it can lead to really bad rabit hole
And very survivable
It got better mobility alright. Not saying it is bad, just has its limitation against mass
Just saying, for mixed hoard, vet should mainly be using gun or nades if in a sticky situation
I like power sword but I like it because it clears trash very quickly and the dueling sword sucks at that and I don't wanna waste ammo or nades
It is
But you can fucking delete mixed hordes with your infinite nades why risk melee
Assuming there are crushers and maulers you could die quickly
you also can delete hordes by using a shotgun with manstopper
It really depends what ranged you are using, what build, what you want from your melee
I use plasma generally, nades for mixed hordes, and want my melee to kill trash hordes, thats why I prefer shovel or power sword
plasma🤮
I use PS to handle all melee elite
One of the best vets used plasma and dueling sword for havoc 40 tho
yes
Haven't we all done h40 by now ? 
because its havoc 40
i will never do it
I have. Ppl give plasma ammo priority, its beautiful
going stoopin on auric maelstrom / low havoc is WAY more fun
I did havoc 40 and now back to aurics doing penance and masteries and I generally never see anyone with any havoc levels let alone 40
I see a havoc 40 a few times a week
Auric is where i try funny build
havocs arent for your avarage player
Like exe stance mf deadshot inf autogun
No
Super fun btw
Climbing the havoc ranks and going back to quickplay, the lack of teamplay is very apparent
Hardest map is steel train. Good thing its so short
Yea
hell is an infinite rolling steel
In high havoc when you go down people actually prioritize getting you up, going down in auric pub generally means a deatg
Death
Hell even a net is generally a death sentance
Which is sad because nets are a trivial save
Especially if it's a zealot with until death
Ppl letting you die in a net within 5m 
My last rolling thunder at the very end I went to get another guy up
And I pushed it and got dogged the last second
And dogged right beside his downed body, an ai eventually gets him
And he just gets up and bull rushes toward the boss
I went 100% to 0 with a dog on my
Wipe
Dog on me
this one is wild to me given how they can be unavoidable at times
like the classic net through 5 crushers
or the ever enjoyable net through a corner
Unless you have a dog pouncing on you or a net being launched at you, you free someone from a net plain and simple
It enrages me when I'm sitting in a net and some guys meleeing 2 poxwalkers
Even if you aren't nearby, still react
I always lob nades toward netted player
As I move toward them
I try to get everyone up, always.
Except adhd zealots on the otherside of the map while everyone else is fighting the horde, he can wait
Had a guy earlier run ahead of everyone and die then accuse us of being too slow and causing the horses to all spawn on him
long bomb be like
Sounds like a name for a big shit

Hail Mary for the big E
power sword mk3 or mk6
depends what moveset you want
6
Mk 6 is better in nearly every way. The only downsides can be negated through skill. The most notable being slowdown activation which you can both animation cancel by blocking and sliding to get regular speed
The real upgrade from mk3 to mk 6 is the push attack into light which does insane amounts of dmg and can kill a crusher in under a second
Gonna try and get the make every shot count penance.
Is shotgun still usable for it? See things online about it not working for that
yes. get the double barrel
Sounds good. Was using the bolter with no luck
Trying to do the same penance
I hate how I can't do private games without someone else
I keep getting Survivalist Vets and Assail Psykers who make it difficult
You don't need to worry about survivalist, even if you regen ammo after you spend all you start with it still counts, but ofc it's harder to keep track
Well yeah, it sucks doing the mission and getting 1 bullet right before you enter the dropship
it would still give you the penance
Then I must've not gotten it with how many misses caused by an assail shard just stealing a random grunt kill at the last second
as long as you spend the inicial ammo you start with, you can keep all the ones you regen and not spend them till the end and get it
I don't get why we need 2 people to do a private game
no one does
are mission rewards still bugged?
Havoc is fixed now if you restart your game
You will get last week's cache again and one if your penaces will complete despite not actually meeting that requirement if youve played havoc each week
wahoo
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9b87b5fd-c1aa-4605-9515-e5f762e17a52/stormtrooper-veteran-krak-grenade-voice-of-command-weapon-specialist why does this feel so broken
Ai pic
well the weird janky AI image generation appears to have stapled his helmet to his face in place of a chinstrap for starters :>
having 6 different collars probably isn't ideal protection either
i didnt make the pic 😦
aye no worries, just being flippant ^^
Voice of Command covers a multitude of sins
combined with the Vraks V IAG and it's going to be pretty solid all round
with this build i can melt elites specials at range and do horde clearing with simple left click spam and buff team
controversial but: this > revolver
To be fair, revolver vet is more meme since it's better to run that on a Zealot.
Is it an ASS zealot?
dont remember, probably was
Coherency and such is how I got mine though.
Ehm, heavily carried while I just panic constantly.
What in the holy big foot picture quality is this
Well, predicted loner zealot.
yeah. remembered i recorded it so i had to check when u mentioned zealot haha
I just hate how loner works tbh. Is how such ppl happen.
Even the team speed buff is less egregious.
Though it could just make it so the fast go faster leaving behind anyone not doing crack speed builds.
No real point to trying to tell other people how to play, they'll just get pissy and potentially throw. Just gotta deal with it or drop.
well i never tld him how to play 😄 he just said coherency is shit
which i found funny
Oh lmao
I thought it was in reply to someone telling him to stick with the group 😄
that is pretty funny
no no it was end of game ahaha
Is havoc fixed yet
nope
why are there so many stealth vets
A cry against the preponderance of VoC is my guess
Havoc time. Better be ready soon!
fun n good
I am in the back of a car in the middle of nowhere atm !
look I need the penance ok
also coherency is smaller than people think
8m is considered melee range by the game.
also the loner penance literally needs allies for ranged enemies to shoot at because you can't backstab them otherwise so
tell that to him
me chilling with 5% crit aura on psyker wondering why everyone hates free damage
CDR better!
Maybe?
killing enemies supports the team
I find all three to be fine depending on your needs.
Cdr is better
What is CDR
cooldown reduction
Oh ok
Damage auras are usually only taken for a path that saves you talent points
Yeah that aura on vet sucks nads
Otherwise it's seldom heard of that 5% damage from fireteam, for example, is going to meaningfully affect yours and others performance/breakpoints
I don't think 5% damage is meaningful in any way unless you're running 4 vets (based)
Assuming it stacks anyway
it doesn't
I wouldnt
What threshold are you meeting with a 5% damage boost
Allow me to reach 10% melee and 5% melee from point economy
Thus a bit more than 21% total
Yeah taking fireteam is fine for a point economy argument
A point economy that result in considerably more passive dmg
Either 15% elite, 20% ogryn, 10% ranged, 15% melee, desperado is likely sacrificed otherwise
Does that 5% really make a difference with the rest of the damage bonuses in mind? Like when you stab or smack something, does it actually provide enough of a bonus even in the context of everything else to take one less hit to kill something
Sometimes you just need a tiny bit more, is why puncture exist.
Also its teamwide
I know that there can be a breakpoint with any damage boost, but I'm asking where it applies because I don't notice a difference
it'd be hard to answer since it depends
The same place where your extra thoughness applies
Like a 1% damage boost on a gun that does 100 damage against an enemy with 101 health is a massive bonus, but I just don't know where that 5% bonus means anything because when I took it off for ammo it didn't seem to do anything
It's not that more is bad, I just want to know if that 5% actually means anything between how many shots or stabs it takes it kill anything. Even taking one less shot on a dreg is saving ammo
Its exactly 5% less flamer time 
I'll take it, 5% bonus damage is good for flamers
Also interact with crit, blessing, brittleness, mark stacks..
But my point is that all of those things mean so much more than 5% that the 5% is negligible. A 10% bonus is already significant enough on its own that you will notice it whether you're paying attention to it or not for movement, stamina, damage, etc
That's why I care to know in a vacuum if 5% does anything for breakpoints, because that to me is where that 5% matters. If I shoot a big dude in the face a bunch, one less shot matters
How significant
That's like a 150% boost
Yes
That is exactly the info I'm looking for
Aint got the time to calculate bp. I dont care that much about complex bp
That's true
Idk what sunder is
Midnight at my spot.
Happy New Year fellow Vets!
May your guns and blades kill heretics sound and true XD
I just stab things with my gun and it works pretty good 👍
Happy new year at your spot !
We from the future, yes yes.
People have no hit all of the souls games back to back. I don't consider any of those games to be easy. I don't think it's fair to take examples of excellence as the sign of how difficult the game is
Rofl, you scared az away 
I'm still not that good at Darktide to do an auric maelstrom ngl
Practical
Some ppl just don't wanna leave traces.
I keep my error set in stone
I like fixing typos.
I'll worry about the mistakes I make when I make them
Fair enough
Ah.
I'm a stay at home cripple with a shotgun
Aw man, i wanna play now but am stuck
Why are you stuck
Have you ever solved a Rubik's cube?
Nah
Would you like to learn how?
Not really 
That's up to you. The one you have as a go-to, the one you enjoy using the most, the one that's the most thematic to you
My fav was limbsplitter bm bayonet. Rip
What happened to it?
Melee blessings no longer applies to bayonet
Wat
You could kill bosses in seconds 
None of the blessings work on the bayonet anymore?
None that matters 
Explain
Bm was the one that mattered. The rest is too irrelevant to warrant gameplay adjustment
And i wont test
I tend to get good effect from the dodging crit bonus, but I think that's just because I use the knife as a horde killer lol
I wish haymaker activated more often
It s a gimmick
Yeah, not really worth it
Imo no
Its going to be build dependent but id argue it's not going to matter much unless it pushes a significant breakpoint
In comparison to extra ammo for just existing, which is directly going to benefit everyone, especially in havoc
Yeag like hugz said it is dependant
Like 5% pushes breakpoints for at least a few weapons
So it's not bad
You gotta know if ya need to be taking the 5% to be going over the edge
Like the bistol
Yeah it’s a bait blessing
Seems cool on paper but is impractical
You’d get more out of paring Precog over it seeing it’ll sky rocket it’s Finesse value
@radiant chasm
The 2nd one is just made up 
And femstodes is like
fat female space marines lmfao
The bottom half of lore retcons
crazy how the twitter nonsense even reached vet chat
I told an AI program to make stuff up so i can get angry at it 😡
im picturing lizzo in space marine armor
Not even that shit can support her
lizzo is female ogryn confirmed??
this is a havoc 2
wtf is going on down here?
this cant be real
Hero Hei is not a real person
they must be a bot
there is no other explanation
Hero hei is a tool
i love how every single one of his videos is a donation
YolStrun a real one
he's soo obsessed with having the moral high ground 💀
“Backfires!!” No the artist drew it to mock cons making AI art and getting mad at it lol.
They are attacking gamers and our hobbies!
good 
The amount of AI slop of 40k just is- beyond upsetting
Yea you can’t deny it is the “woke” side of the community that does real art and not tech heresy slop
CerberusXT’s Gate Crushers got featured in white dwarf
I wonder
Should i join the sm2 discord
And post that they should add Gate Crusher paint-jobs for pride month
yes 
ban speed run do it
Diversify these fists to the emperor's enemies
adeptus mechanicus is a trans allegory, change my mind
Makes me so angry the amout of 40k content creators using ai generated kriegsmen of a big bitty krieg women as their thumbnail
Tyranids are all Lesbians
Like brothherr they're clones
That’s a new one i haven’t heard before
but secret
No wonder they are the most powerful faction 
The strongest patriarchy vs the weakest tyranid matriarch
Orks be like:
"my pronouns are Gork/Mork"
I'm telling yall, Warhammer was "woke" from the beginning 🚶🏻♂️
Honey, get the penitent engine 
Trench crusade is also woke

Didn’t they tell grummz to fuck off (not literally that)
Fake outrage is woke
Bored with all the social media drama
How busy are the servers this evening? My kid almost goes to bed and my wife doesn't really care for New Years
Yes because he said the woke mob is making the heretics seem like the good guys when
Literally it’s 40k
Everyone sucks
There’s no good guys
Quiet but you get more more skilled players during the day
Huge fan of Trench Crusades idea just cause the WW1 theme taken to like 11 is really fucking cool
Prime time hours descend to console kiddy madness
Yeah I noticed Auric is a whole lot harder now
Moved down to Damnation I might actually be able to get through a mission with the madness
Literally emperors children
Good paint jobs
The l g and b are all accepted in the imperium
Even damnation can be spicy when you got a team of level 25 guys who don't know how to play
Everyone gets an equal opportunity to die for the Emperor
Trans is also accepted but less accessible to get care unless you are a noble or live on a paradise world
Amen 🙏
Lgb are all accepted by slaneesh
Lgbt has nothing to do with slaanesh
Slaanesh thinks lgbt is too vanilla
Slaanesh is excess and debauchery, being lgbtq+ is not inherently either of those things
I gotta use that word more, debauchery is a good describer
Having sex with a chain axe is not under the lgbt umbrella
Makes my mid-skill level feel like a champ
Slaanesh in my eyes is the type to drown their fries in spray on cheese
You mean their spray on cheese with fry topping

Exactly
Sounds like rashuns
Might as well stick a nacho chip in there at that rate since it makes cheese dip 
Plus if it’s the right kind of bottle, they can use it as whippets once they are done
Lmao
Now im just imagining a slaanesh corrupted world where all food and drink is in spray cans so they can whippet after
who tf is arguing this
It still blows my mind that this guy is telling me how women should dress 😩
they wear dead babies
People who are dense
Would be a flavor town for sure, maybe a flavor hive city if the chaos spread does it’s thing
Can’t even begin to imagine what a corrupted food vendor looks like 
Guy Fieri becomes a daemon prince
could definitely see it 
Whats different from his normal look?
Yes
Such variety in sizes lol
Love that fiddler is the smallest, must help with the fiddling 
S/M/L/XXXL
how are shock mauls for vet? especially cheerleader
they are a decent low investment melee
they are also very useful at dealing with bullwalks
the biggest problem however is they are horrific against bosses
they are also not the best at dealing with mixed hordes
since their CC looses value the more it cleaves thru targets
I just wanna learn about them cuz its next on my list to get to mastery 20
the survivalist guide had nothing about them somehow
the what guide?
guardsman sam ething
Guardsman's survivalist guide An intro to veteran Veteran the classic average person in the imperium, a soldier that managed to distinguish themselves in the astra militarum before becoming a servant of inquisitior´s Grendyls warband. Veterans may not be armed with the psychic might of the ps...
this thing from pinned
its what iv ebeen using to see what to do about weapons
Do the hammer of the emperor one
that's from feburary my dude
Its newer
I will fiddle your ass 
You know what, stealth is great
and stealth + bolter is pretty nutty
Oh Kark the dwarf doesn’t like being called short I should’ve thought about that
Spare me from the book of grudges I beg
“Where’d that loyalist go?” -the scab gunner about to get mag dumped by bolter fire
Love jumpscaring heretics
i mean i really start to think stealth is underrated
It is almost as good as shout
and way better thna exe
I rock it for outline purposes now-a-days but I’m def debating being a stealth vet more and more
exec is good too, but harder to play
Don't need outline if you have eyes
What? No, it is very easy to play
nah. infil and VOC are both instant "get out of dodge" buttons
have any sort of problem? press F
and then you're fine
Nah infiltrates f fucks over your team if you use it like that
who cares
bruh my shop is not selling the second mark
i don't care when someone on my team runs infil
annoying
because it just doesn't matter
Add wall hacks to the wallhacks, auspex ping sound going crazy when you put on the shooter addon to it 
u can just roll at brunt
wait
oh it gives different?
u can just change the mark
well on that basic level yes, but you can use invis for more things than just that
Any high difficulty you just see any room light up like a Christmas tree
need mastery 7
yeah ofc
and you should
all weapons you can change the mark to whatever you want
it gave me all the same
Zealot invis is such trash in comparison
i am not a fan of zealot invis whatsoever
yeah at like mastery 7
yeah, then get it to mastery 7
this is gonna be annoying
u can do it with those btw
mastery 7 shouldn't take too long
just upgrade them to green
(or just power level)
then sacrifice to hadron
wait what
Either missions with the weapon or ya power level using dockets and a handful of materials
wtf
Both give mastery xp
there's also a mod for power leveling
so you don't need to click several hundred times 
Its purpose is to onetap bosses
Green ones
You have to upgrade them to green
i just said to upgrade them to greens
goodbye plasteel
yeah i'm well aware what it's best used for, and i still don't like it 
If u wanna keep plasteel you can do missions with the shock maul to get it mastery levels
its fine the plasteel wont miss me
But you’ll miss it
I will miss it though
a small price to pay for cool red and white skin
And of course all the other good things to upgrading mastery
ill give u plasteel
Being a oldie has its perks, one of them is a stockpile of resources 
Regardless welcome to the purging, operative
Happy to have you
My least favorite melee
Dont know why, just didnt like it
The power of shooting heretical idols should help a bunch with plasteel recovery
im still kinda bad at finding them but getting better
Aye havoc caches even at low tier give a bunch
Why the fuck people so allergic to revives
When other people get downed i get to them within 3 seconds
when i get downed i am just being ignored
Sorry they make me break out in hives
All good thankfully even if you aren’t the one to shoot the idol your whole squad still gets the bonus plasteel
speaking of havoc look what I found https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/455
They vary in location from obvious spots to “why didn’t I notice that earlier” for me 
lmao I feel like a job interviewer 
"What do you feel you bring to the team?"
what's PA
Vibes and clutch practice
"I bring rations for the ogryn"
Push attack 
They make a whispering sound when you are somewhat close
realizing this game has combos is making me question my existence
im starting a new character for bc of my friend and i have decded on veteran. anyone has a good veteran build i can work towards?
Its just abiit of combo manipulation
Least for what that guide is saying it's just starts off as Heavy, then Push attack and ending in a light attack
Back into a heavy
Levelling is more about trying the weapons for yourself
Build wise, its hard to make builds before 30
this is the first left 4 dead like game I've had to not brainlessly mash melee in
I've done either constant light spam or heavy spam and I'm still keeping my head above the water
alr then i will try. may the emperor guide my hand
Not sure if anyone has made a levelling build
Some do just take a
What’s the recon las gun setup? Perks blessing and mark?
Heavy into a light and back into a heavy
It just depends
Not many combos go any deeper

y'all gotta get on this mk 5 dueling sword
i only ever see the mk 4
Mk4 is definitely more common
But I see mk5 fairly regularly
Mk2 is the real unicorn among them
i can just see the old slowpoke meme here
doesn't mean it's not true ofc
I like dah 4
Mk2 has a better attack pattern for hordes on the lights
And still has a mighty poke
IMO it’s the best mark
Idk why people don’t use it, I loved it on meleeker
@narrow frost I realized the place I’m at doesn’t have the connection stable enough for decent darktide gaming, wanted to inform to not leave you wondering 
You guys too are bringing all your weapons to Max Mastery or I’m the only psycho?
Rn I’m with the Axe and the Lasgun Pistol
i only max out mastery for weapons I use
I had all my weapons at max mastery and for the new ones I just bought max mastery, so honestly I don't even know if it's hard or easy to get max level
But probably no, not a psycho
You can just sacrifice weapons to make up the differance
Yeah but once I finished doing so I started with the other ones too
Really?
🤔
I didn’t know
But no
I rather EARN it than BUY it
Cadia didn’t blow up for me to lounge
Cadia stands, if you're a few lightyears away
Even tho the Lucius will remain my favorite I’m gonna max it all
BLOOD FOR THE EMPEROR AND SKULLS FOR THE GOLDEN THRONE
Diamantine for mechanicus mommy
Bolts and Gears for Hadron
Secrets for Melk
The melkcoins are totally a crypto scam
'Trust me bro I'll give you this super specific currency that nobody else will take'
'Gains only go up bro'
Honestly I only use it for rarities
inquisition doing cryptobro scam sounds pretty 40k lmao
buy emperor coins todae!
(No refunds)
What's the difference? Didn't you EARN money?
Buying it is the same as earning, just with extra steps
Money are for upgrades for me
It takes like 200k to get weapon to an almost perfect state
So you don't need to suffer through mastery 1
Mastery 1 is EZ af
Ezpc money
What weapon should I use to complete weapone specialist penance?
Im trying to complete the veteran challenges
Something close range, I suspect
I liked the revolver/axe combo
You could probably use a shotgun or bolt pistol though
Double Barrel
My favorite vet build is weapon spec dbarrel
Bleed knoife on hordes cos funni.
Not funny, just sad
Even the actual bleed knife players don't recommend it
Yes, but what you find fun is opinionated. Also, don't you all go game is ezy anyway?
Game being easy doesn't affect lacerate being a bad idea for most people
Flesh tearer better but still iffy
To be fair, 4-5 hits would bleed cap about anything.
4-5 would kill anything that mattered
Tbh bleed probs more use on Zealot to jumpstart critfest.
Bleed is important on shield ogryn
To be fair, lacerate lets you just slash and run.
Want to know what 4 stacks of bleed does to a poxwalker
Why are you stabbing a poxwalker
I mean if you’re just constantly stabbing a horde you’re not gonna have JUST 4 stacks of bleed
I don't want a random backstab after surviving a tight event.
Wait a second
_>
The horde unit
Poxbomber is what you thinking.
Its literally just numbers
Lacerate be upon yer knife
Numbers bad.
If you’re trying to speed up horde clear it doesn’t seem that bad
It has a very minor effect, and thats if you can also maintain Uncanny uptime
Because poxwalkers take half damage from bleed
Flesh tearer is still probably better but I feel lacerate has a niche
And I need horde clear on a not stupidly slow weapon since lag means half my hits just whiff.
Oh really? Didn’t know that actually
It does, but its for the top .1% of players
Look at the table, it has the ADM's of bleed in the bright blue near the top
Damage is muliplied by that number
and Infested multiplies by .5
Oh, didn’t realise you meant the amour type, I thought you meant the enemy was just coded to take half damage
Yeah its the armor
No enemy is hardcoded against DoT
The only armor type to take full bleed damage is Maniac
Which is some specials (which you can oneshot headshot on knife) and Dreg Ragers
If you’re just light spamming into a horde I still feel the damage isn’t awful.
Too bad uncanny is just that strong that you will never get full value from it
It requires you keep Uncanny up so you deal full damage instead of half
Which isn't hard.
So you have to alternate bodyshots for bleed and headshots for uncanny maintenance
Hard part is getting actual kills for weapon specialist due to the lag meaning everyone else gets the kills.
It works, but like 99% of people lack the skill to push it beyond the power of uncanny precog or riposte precog (myself included)
it’s so weird that unarmored has 50% bleed resist
Why flesh tearer, just keep slashing heds.
Flesh tearer runs into the issue of knife crits being strong enough to not need bleed to help
but why spend multiple attacks building bleed with lacerate when you could just kill them faster with normal attacks
Exactly
30% more crit yes.
bleed is only OP on vet with shredders
huh
Because the aoe is fucking MASSIVE
And it staggers hard
Zealot things.
oh
i know
but you don’t take scourge for the bleed
you take it for the crit chance
Bitch
even on mk3 evis, the weapon that likely gets most value from scourge’s bleed, bleed damage is only about 30k in a match
So aggressive
Knife L1
And last I saw awhile back, there was psyker chat things here.
X3.24 damage
you should know the chats vary a lot
This is specific to vet this time
I saw a psyker chat once
We are talking about vet knife
My condolences
I’d say it’s more about lacerate in general rn
I guess
Or bleed blessings generally.
But then class doesn't matter at all and shouldn't be brought in without saying
Bleed can be ok but is usually outcompeted by straight damage
It finds use with delight in destruction giving massive TDR
Flesh tearer is ok, lacerate is meh
and Flechette on weapon spec beating out most of the other options double barrel has for that playstyle
i’d still prefer scattershot so you only need 1 kill to get a crit majority of the time
I mean, twinned frags basically saved a run.
Thank you for your confirmation, now I will use lacerate and flesh tearer on builds that have nothing to do with bleed

Lacerate + Flesh tearer, the dawn of a new meta
I like funny double crit blessings, but scattershot is also the sole competitor in this case
yah fair
Old meta actually
May those days burn
No cap bleed.
Didn’t play around those times
Lmaoo, that’s fucked
Just apply as much bleed and watch everything get DoT to death, I guess.
Bleed is also weak ADM wise compared to the fire DoT's iirc
I’ve only saw that one vid of 4 zealot bleed knife just stabbing a BoN 40 times and the bleed tick was ridiculous
Which kinda makes sense with who we fight
Walking corpses basically.
Incredibly diseased enemies who probably have extremely thick or missing blood at this point compared to consecrated promethium and setting their fucking soul on fire
It’s the weakest DOT excluding electrocution
Soulblaze and burn both have higher damage values and don’t decay as quickly
To be fair, I find it funny you can taze them.
Seems a bit weird that bleed of all things would decay faster
Actually
Nah
Seems about right
Disgustingly Resilient
i assume you can get carried to havoc 40
Still get tazed.
Poxwalkers have a 16.6% chance to totally ignore damage on tabletop
You could blast them with a knight melta and they'd be chilling
i dont think ive seen this h40 ogryn dodge a single sniper shot this game
I'll probs need to be hard carried if I have 300 ping lag.
Yea, happens lol
I got carried to 40 myself
You can stand infront of a gunner and take no damage, or die to sudden 10 hits out of nowhere.
At least it means I get accepted into havoc squads relatively easily
Just need luck to get 3 ppl able and willing to carry. I lack such luck.
Darktide feels so much worse when you're lagging compared to VT
I wish for this new year that Darktide will be stable
I got screamed at for not getting a platforming grim before.
I literally cannot jump.
Like, actually screamed at?
Yeah.
Shouty shouted at him
That was VT2.
I wish that friendly fire was possible
Being forced to IB Bardin was already boring enough.
Glad you can at least do the platforming bs skulls even with some lag now.
On top of only needing to do them once ever.
I hate this weapon specialist penance
100 more to go but I only get a couple specialist kills every match
h40 player flaming the psyker who left saying the bot did more damage 
2.4k damage taken shut the fuck up
he was not in a position to be saying shit like that
your username read as smugcuck
2 me
lmfao
Hey, I have a question about the vet power sword. Is the charge supposed to get canceled when I get hit? I don’t remember it doing that. (Sry if this is a stupid question. Been a while since I used it)
Its intended
Ah okay then. Thanks for the response
i vaguely remember that being bugfixed
Mk6 variant blocks while activating tho
or was that just for blaze force sword
Nah
No, that wasn’t the bugged part
You’re confusing power sword with relic blade
there's no block function attached to power swords' activation
that's block chain time being low, u don't actually get to block while charging
Well that’s dumber
No, that’s been its design lol
How the hell do I get the long bomb penance
well tap throwing makes it explode earlier so make use of that
I’m on console I can’t just tap
i believe theres a few maps you can get it quite easily on
theres the end of smelter, the end of chasm logistratum
that one bridge section of... that water purify map i think?
It has to the same reaction
i think the end of archivum sycorax as well if your teammates are uncharacteristically un-bloodlust-y
That’s how’s it’s been sadly
throw at something very far away
you want the grenade to airburst basically
That’s always what I try to do but it hits the floor
example
i genuinely think my mental would be better off if i turned off the havoc part of truelevel

Today I learned burster only does 150 gold toughness damage
Gold toughness is a bit weird in terms of calculation because Poxburster is designed to not really have an associated toughness damage
having +350 is dumb
I’m kind of considering getting the mod that shows players’ platforms lol
Can you toggle it to only show their names and not their characters’ names
is running 2 health curios worth it in havoc?
It's been serving me well into the 20s Havoc but I'm worried I'll hit a wall down the line
only nurglings game on yew years eve
Anybody know what the meta setups and combos are for the dueling sword and combat knife?
DS: literally anything works
combat knife: you'll need the melee talents on the bottom right, up to trench fighter. serrated blade if you're running mercy killer blessing, and precision strikes
I generally prefer toughness because it's functionally superior to health
It's easier to regain, you can buff it's damage resist, ect
Health starts to get very scarce as you go up the havoc ladder
Why
The only main drawback of console players rn is the dogshit errors
You can still play with MnK on console and controller isn’t that bad to control
Error 2001 and 2014 my behated
Can you believe it guys, hotfix patch, just a week away.
It’s coming this week
(For the cosmetic rotation this week)
What are the odds the cosmetics are more unappealing cobbled together crap-piles or flak armor reskin #91039279
Yea I figured it out
I would recommend
Display - character name
Platform icon - character name
Display own account name - on
Hide identifier tag - on
It displays players’ platforms without making their in-game names disappear so u can still communicate with them in chat without too much confusion
I can
"Employees will begin to return in January. For January, we’ll have an event going live mid-January and our next Hotfix will be at the end of January. We also have a dev blog from Jesper Kyd and a dev blog on Enemy Art Design for everyone."
like this
Some names are just
Long
Way too long
I prefer a cleaner looking HUD
on his steam name
I do too
you see my sccreen
screen
lol
so stam, no subtitles, no buffs, no killfeed
gotta turn mine off
Prestige rank is kind of nice as a side but it feels unnecessarily extra
I think the only things that mean something rn are true survivor and poxbreaker title ngl
They’re good for approximating a players skill, which is all anything is good for.
levels really do not mean anything
I dont see it
A high level player is far more appealing than a low level player on a player list
I know a level 5000 that plays like a level 30
I’ve ran into Celine once lol
same
But I was talking about someone else
Level doesn’t mean a lot but it’s like
I would trust a lv300+ to be a bit better than a lv66
What’s a good setup for the braced autogun?
When I see a level 1000+ I look at their build to see if they figured something out that I havent thought of
cause they spent alot of time in the game
And then u realize they actually figured out less than you and one tricked the entire time

This is why I play all classes and loudouts
to find things I havent though of before
I 1 tricked psyker to level 1k
then I branched out
I mean them one tricking a single build the entire time
I’ve seen some truly cursed veteran builds
Psword and Plasma
: (
the most common
VoC
No gold toughness
Revive node taken
No Tac awareness
No iron will
No precision strikes
Every single node taken on bottom right side
Chainsword + boltgun

the chainsword cope people are funny
I think I just got secondhand embarrassment
A random build generator would make a better build unironically
Not running gold toughness on voice is just actively throwing
It’s usually run with either exe stance or as a backup option for weapon specialist
I guess it still refills toughness?
Only in coherency and since they took the revive shout that distance is pitiful
So not as a main weapon for a build?
Oh yea
You should save your ranged weapons for solving problems your melee can't
Like gunners for instance
Gunners are always worth a bullet
ok what melee should I run with my braced autogun?
Something robust, precise
Or perks blessings/mark for it
Shovel it is
NIice
Shovel is pretty good for it
The cool thing about Darktide is you can make just about anything work as long as you apply enough cheese
Shovel is unironically super good
Since uncanny makes up for dog shit armour damage
I really like the sapper shovel as a whole
Combat Axe is very good too
Obviously the dueling sword
I was more just wondering what perks/blessings I should put on my braced
Well
In exe stance it’s sort of the “main weapon” against most elites & specialists, but you’re still looking at like a 50:50 split between melee & ranged
lmaooo ds4 follows me everywhere
I see okay
I'm not sure about blessings because I don't usually use the Braced autoguns, but you can't really go wrong with Flak and Carapace damage as the perks
Because those armor types are very common
Deathspitter, the other is just what you want in it.
Flak
Maniac
Deathspitter
Fire frenzy
For braced not really, it does fuck all carapace damage anyway, unless you take Onslaught
They’re a bit weird in veteran’s kit because they don’t scale very well with veteran’s talents
Mk8 is by far the best variant
Ohhhh okay that makes sense
Veteran’s ranged weapons are usually either
Crit & finesse build
Or damage stack for breakpoints
Braced autoguns are neither
They have low finesse and crit value, and don’t follow breakpoints
They do their best though c:
They try
I am simple woman
I see plasma gun, I use plasma gun
It's ability to just go "no, fuck off" to any ranged enemy tickles my brain
Braced autogun exec stance is just a fun m1 build
That thing has an ungodly amount of ammo lol
Interesting
So are they even good then?
😭
They’re alright, they don’t really have a build outside of Exec stance + Marksman focus
Why marksman focus with braced autogun
we're headhunters out here
Accuracy through volume of fire
I have a bullet with your name on it somewhere, and I'm gonna keep shooting until I find it
Gunner/shooter patrols are just actual catharsis with that build though lol
Happy New Year ye fraggers
Born leader inspiring barrage MF 
Happy New Year vet chat
Happy new year
Happy new year from whatever place you are
ngl focus is so obviously dogshit on braced auto guns I don't know why you'd even waste the skill points on it
having to land headshots with weapons that are by design inaccurate
the shotguns at least have tight enough spread that they mostly headshot things when ADS
What perks and stuff do u guys use in the shovel
Depends on the MK
But ussualy it is uncanny as one of the blessings
On Mk 1 I use uncanny skullcrusher
the tan one does not
How I deadass look as my 2 teammates behind me don't watch my flank and I fucking die
You get used to it tbh, unless it's something they can't clear depending on build.
Was on auric maelstrom earlier and deadass my inferno staff psyker teammate just casually allowed a pack of ragers to shank me from behind while looking in the general direction
Mr. Best Stagger Suppression Weapon Ever didn’t wanna help me out.. :(
I like Hammerblow+Skullcrusher on Mk3
I love democracy
I'll never forget the many pages of roasting obesefish got for asking people to vote for them
tbf although elden ring is a far better game I feel like labor of love is like... for long running long supported games
I still wouldnt have voted for dark tide though 
God that's ass
Honest toss up between hd2 and darktide
But uhhhhh
Lets vote for the game that has a massive franchise behind it
That... hasn't changed in formula

Technically it is, but the name implies a bit more selflessness. Darktide is a buy to play, microtransaction filled "live service esque" game, so it's purely self interest to keep updating the game.
Honest to God I believe people only vote for the game they want on sale
