#

what is the best veteran build

pallid jetty
#

any build with dueling sword mk4 is the best

#

thanks FS for an amazing balancing of this weapon

gritty mural
#

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

wanton dawn
#

I think its underwhelming against mixed horde but hey, i don't recommend stuff

empty root
#

Shoot or lob nades into mixed horde

dry cloak
#

dont use ds4

wanton dawn
dry cloak
#

like psword

wanton dawn
#

Caxe is also good at it

dry cloak
#

yes

empty root
#

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

dry cloak
#

when small psword rework

empty root
#

Dueling sword feels good to use

dry cloak
empty root
#

And very survivable

wanton dawn
#

It got better mobility alright. Not saying it is bad, just has its limitation against mass

empty root
#

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

terse idol
#

I thought DS was actually decent at mixed

#

Cause just crazy weakpoint damage

empty root
#

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

dry cloak
#

you also can delete hordes by using a shotgun with manstopper

empty root
#

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

dry cloak
#

plasma🤮

wanton dawn
#

I use PS to handle all melee elite

empty root
#

One of the best vets used plasma and dueling sword for havoc 40 tho

dry cloak
#

yes

wanton dawn
#

Haven't we all done h40 by now ? KEKW_ogryn

dry cloak
#

because its havoc 40

pallid jetty
#

i havent

#

havent tried even

#

too lazy

wanton dawn
#

I have. Ppl give plasma ammo priority, its beautiful

pallid jetty
#

going stoopin on auric maelstrom / low havoc is WAY more fun

empty root
#

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

wanton dawn
#

Auric is where i try funny build

dry cloak
#

havocs arent for your avarage player

wanton dawn
#

Like exe stance mf deadshot inf autogun

empty root
#

No

wanton dawn
#

Super fun btw

empty root
#

Climbing the havoc ranks and going back to quickplay, the lack of teamplay is very apparent

wanton dawn
#

Hardest map is steel train. Good thing its so short

empty root
#

Yea

tawny timber
#

hell is an infinite rolling steel

empty root
#

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

wanton dawn
#

Ppl letting you die in a net within 5m whatthefuck_heresy

empty root
#

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

tawny timber
#

like the classic net through 5 crushers

#

or the ever enjoyable net through a corner

empty root
#

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

tawny timber
#

your fault for getting netted by the silent trapper

empty root
#

Even if you aren't nearby, still react

#

I always lob nades toward netted player

#

As I move toward them

light ridge
#

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

tawny timber
#

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

steady wolf
#

long bomb be like

tawny timber
#

Sounds like a name for a big shit

warm bolt
warm bolt
carmine ermine
#

power sword mk3 or mk6

dry cloak
#

depends what moveset you want

tame lodge
#

6

odd sparrow
#

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

gentle yoke
#

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

gentle yoke
dim citrus
#

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

weary hornet
dim citrus
#

Well yeah, it sucks doing the mission and getting 1 bullet right before you enter the dropship

weary hornet
#

it would still give you the penance

dim citrus
#

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

weary hornet
#

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

dim citrus
#

I don't get why we need 2 people to do a private game

weary hornet
#

no one does

pastel yew
#

are mission rewards still bugged?

slow sky
#

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

pastel yew

Ai pic

thick kestrel
#

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

light galleon
#

i didnt make the pic 😦

thick kestrel
#

aye no worries, just being flippant ^^

light galleon
#

no ban

#

not my build

#

:((

#

just feels OP

thick kestrel
#

Voice of Command covers a multitude of sins

#

combined with the Vraks V IAG and it's going to be pretty solid all round

light galleon
#

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

unreal nova
#

To be fair, revolver vet is more meme since it's better to run that on a Zealot.

light galleon
#

tbh yeah

#

veteran shouldnt be glass cannon

#

wasnt meant to be

unreal nova
#

It's just when you just want them crushers dead.

#

And 3 kraks isn't enough.

light galleon
#

well thats what team mates are for right

#

😄

unreal nova
#

Depends.

#

Some, you can depend on... Some just leave you to deal with 5 crushers.

light galleon
#

favorite quote this week is 'coherency is shit'

#

by a team mate

#

😆

unreal nova
#

Is it an ASS zealot?

light galleon
#

dont remember, probably was

unreal nova
#

Coherency and such is how I got mine though.

#

Ehm, heavily carried while I just panic constantly.

light galleon
#

xD

#

actually was a zealot i think?

wanton dawn
#

What in the holy big foot picture quality is this

light galleon
#

was a pic from phone haha sorry

#

pic from a vid

unreal nova
#

Well, predicted loner zealot.

light galleon
#

yeah. remembered i recorded it so i had to check when u mentioned zealot haha

unreal nova
#

I just hate how loner works tbh. Is how such ppl happen.

#

Even the team speed buff is less egregious.

light galleon
#

yeah..

#

oh well . some people just need to lone, gotta cater to all playstyles

unreal nova
#

Though it could just make it so the fast go faster leaving behind anyone not doing crack speed builds.

vital wren
#

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.

light galleon
#

well i never tld him how to play 😄 he just said coherency is shit

#

which i found funny

vital wren
#

Oh lmao

#

I thought it was in reply to someone telling him to stick with the group 😄

#

that is pretty funny

light galleon
#

no no it was end of game ahaha

latent parcel
#

Is havoc fixed yet

vital wren
#

nope

pseudo fiber
#

yes

#

it is

latent parcel
#

Yes?!!!!!!!

#

Rejoice

fervent mesa
#

why are there so many stealth vets

balmy flume
#

A cry against the preponderance of VoC is my guess

latent parcel
pastel yew
wanton dawn
sullen jackal
#

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

sullen jackal
#

me chilling with 5% crit aura on psyker wondering why everyone hates free damage

light galleon
#

ah you are running that build without any support on psyker

#

xd

#

support / buffs

calm shard
unreal nova
#

I find all three to be fine depending on your needs.

serene bough
#

Cdr is better

surreal mountain
#

What is CDR

safe sage
#

cooldown reduction

surreal mountain
#

Oh ok

serene bough
#

Damage auras are usually only taken for a path that saves you talent points

surreal mountain
#

Yeah that aura on vet sucks nads

serene bough
#

Otherwise it's seldom heard of that 5% damage from fireteam, for example, is going to meaningfully affect yours and others performance/breakpoints

surreal mountain
#

I don't think 5% damage is meaningful in any way unless you're running 4 vets (based)

#

Assuming it stacks anyway

calm shard
#

it doesn't

surreal mountain
#

Wow

#

I'd honestly take a toughness boost over that

wanton dawn
#

I wouldnt

surreal mountain
#

What threshold are you meeting with a 5% damage boost

wanton dawn
#

Allow me to reach 10% melee and 5% melee from point economy

#

Thus a bit more than 21% total

serene bough
#

Yeah taking fireteam is fine for a point economy argument

wanton dawn
#

A point economy that result in considerably more passive dmg

#

Either 15% elite, 20% ogryn, 10% ranged, 15% melee, desperado is likely sacrificed otherwise

surreal mountain
#

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

unreal nova
#

Sometimes you just need a tiny bit more, is why puncture exist.

wanton dawn
#

Also its teamwide

surreal mountain
#

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

velvet estuary
#

it'd be hard to answer since it depends

wanton dawn
#

The same place where your extra thoughness applies

surreal mountain
#

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

wanton dawn
#

With havoc release any bp discussion has to be revised

#

But havoc is a dps check

surreal mountain
#

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

wanton dawn
#

Its exactly 5% less flamer time thumbsup_ogryn

surreal mountain
wanton dawn
#

Also interact with crit, blessing, brittleness, mark stacks..

unreal nova
#

Other auras.

#

See elite damage on Psyker.

#

With vet.

surreal mountain
#

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

wanton dawn
#

Aint got the time to calculate bp. I dont care that much about complex bp

#

That's true

surreal mountain
#

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 👍

wanton dawn
#

Happy new year at your spot !

surreal mountain
#

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

wanton dawn
#

Rofl, you scared az away KEKW_ogryn

I'm still not that good at Darktide to do an auric maelstrom ngl

wanton dawn
#

My fav was limbsplitter bm bayonet. Rip

surreal mountain
#

What happened to it?

wanton dawn
#

Melee blessings no longer applies to bayonet

surreal mountain
#

Wat

wanton dawn
#

You could kill bosses in seconds KEKW_ogryn

surreal mountain
#

None of the blessings work on the bayonet anymore?

wanton dawn
#

None that matters Sitgryn

surreal mountain
#

Explain

wanton dawn
#

Bm was the one that mattered. The rest is too irrelevant to warrant gameplay adjustment

#

And i wont test

surreal mountain
#

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

wanton dawn
#

It s a gimmick

surreal mountain
#

Yeah, not really worth it

serene bough
#

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

terse idol
#

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

You could probably use a shotgun or bolt pistol though

My favorite vet build is weapon spec dbarrel

What about melee weapons?

#

I have dueling sword, chainsword and power sword

I like knife for it because speed and single target

Bleed knoife on hordes cos funni.

austere mica
austere mica

Even the actual bleed knife players don't recommend it

narrow frost
#

fun is subjective

#

only the best players use bleed

unreal nova
narrow frost
austere mica
#

Game being easy doesn't affect lacerate being a bad idea for most people

unreal nova
#

I use flesh tearer.

#

Wdym?

austere mica
#

Flesh tearer better but still iffy

unreal nova
#

To be fair, 4-5 hits would bleed cap about anything.

austere mica
#

4-5 would kill anything that mattered

unreal nova
#

Tbh bleed probs more use on Zealot to jumpstart critfest.

Bleed is important on shield ogryn

formal ice
#

Add spikes to the shield

austere mica

Not damage

unreal nova
#

To be fair, lacerate lets you just slash and run.

austere mica
#

Want to know what 4 stacks of bleed does to a poxwalker

formal ice
#

Why are you stabbing a poxwalker

vale wraith
#

I mean if you’re just constantly stabbing a horde you’re not gonna have JUST 4 stacks of bleed

unreal nova
formal ice
#

Wait a second

unreal nova
#

formal ice
#

Is poxwalker the kamikaze ones?

vale wraith
#

The horde unit

formal ice
#

Shit

#

Welp

#

That makes sense

unreal nova
#

Poxbomber is what you thinking.

austere mica
#

Bleed table be apon ye

formal ice
austere mica
#

Its literally just numbers

formal ice
#

Lacerate be upon yer knife

unreal nova
#

Numbers bad.

vale wraith
#

If you’re trying to speed up horde clear it doesn’t seem that bad

austere mica
#

It has a very minor effect, and thats if you can also maintain Uncanny uptime

#

Because poxwalkers take half damage from bleed

vale wraith
#

Flesh tearer is still probably better but I feel lacerate has a niche

unreal nova
vale wraith
formal ice
#

Fine, if lacerate bad... Why mot add another 1 bleed stack?

#

Man I am so smart

austere mica
formal ice
#

Now hordes will die in 1 second

austere mica
#

Damage is muliplied by that number

#

and Infested multiplies by .5

vale wraith
#

Oh, didn’t realise you meant the amour type, I thought you meant the enemy was just coded to take half damage

austere mica
#

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

vale wraith
#

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

austere mica
#

It requires you keep Uncanny up so you deal full damage instead of half

austere mica
#

So you have to alternate bodyshots for bleed and headshots for uncanny maintenance

unreal nova
#

Hard part is getting actual kills for weapon specialist due to the lag meaning everyone else gets the kills.

austere mica
#

It works, but like 99% of people lack the skill to push it beyond the power of uncanny precog or riposte precog (myself included)

severe gale
unreal nova
#

Why flesh tearer, just keep slashing heds.

austere mica
#

Flesh tearer runs into the issue of knife crits being strong enough to not need bleed to help

severe gale
austere mica
#

Exactly

severe gale
#

bleed is fine

#

but it’s not OP like people say

unreal nova
#

30% more crit yes.

severe gale
#

bleed is only OP on vet with shredders

severe gale
austere mica
#

Because the aoe is fucking MASSIVE

vale wraith
#

And it staggers hard

unreal nova
severe gale
#

oh

severe gale
#

but you don’t take scourge for the bleed

#

you take it for the crit chance

austere mica
severe gale
#

even on mk3 evis, the weapon that likely gets most value from scourge’s bleed, bleed damage is only about 30k in a match

I saw a psyker chat once

We are talking about vet knife

oblique totem

#

I’d say it’s more about lacerate in general rn

austere mica
#

I guess

unreal nova
#

Or bleed blessings generally.

austere mica
#

But then class doesn't matter at all and shouldn't be brought in without saying

severe gale
austere mica
#

Bleed can be ok but is usually outcompeted by straight damage

#

It finds use with delight in destruction giving massive TDR

tall torrent
#

Flesh tearer is ok, lacerate is meh

austere mica

and Flechette on weapon spec beating out most of the other options double barrel has for that playstyle

yah fair

May those days burn

unreal nova
#

No cap bleed.

vale wraith
#

Didn’t play around those times

vale wraith
unreal nova
#

Just apply as much bleed and watch everything get DoT to death, I guess.

austere mica
#

Bleed is also weak ADM wise compared to the fire DoT's iirc

vale wraith
#

I’ve only saw that one vid of 4 zealot bleed knife just stabbing a BoN 40 times and the bleed tick was ridiculous

austere mica
#

Which kinda makes sense with who we fight

unreal nova
#

Walking corpses basically.

austere mica
#

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

tall torrent
#

Soulblaze and burn both have higher damage values and don’t decay as quickly

unreal nova
#

To be fair, I find it funny you can taze them.

vale wraith
#

Seems a bit weird that bleed of all things would decay faster

#

Actually

#

Nah

#

Seems about right

I got carried to 40 myself

unreal nova
#

You can stand infront of a gunner and take no damage, or die to sudden 10 hits out of nowhere.

vale wraith
#

At least it means I get accepted into havoc squads relatively easily

unreal nova
#

Just need luck to get 3 ppl able and willing to carry. I lack such luck.

austere mica
#

Darktide feels so much worse when you're lagging compared to VT

unreal nova
#

Naw, both are bad.

VT2 means you don't have a jump button as well.

It's easier to regain, you can buff it's damage resist, ect

Platform icon - character name
Display own account name - on

What’s a good setup for the braced autogun?

narrow frost

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

tall torrent
#

And then u realize they actually figured out less than you and one tricked the entire time

narrow frost

This is why I play all classes and loudouts

to find things I havent though of before

then I branched out

the chainsword cope people are funny

keen nova

#

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?

range weapons are never the main weapon

Oh yea

keen nova

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

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

tall torrent
little lion

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
