Rolls that chance for you
where is that from
Dead Space 3
Also i only now noticed your nickname
The game rigs it so it gets closer and closer to 1/20 elite kills
Bruh, I know 20% aint a lot but when youre throwing 30 nades a game youre bound to get procs
Trying to convince others to go full gamble grenadier
30 is an understatement
Yea
It’s also 20% Prng
I actually have 2 grenade spam builds
one for krak and the other for shredders
You can “pre charge” twinned blast, by counting how many nades since your last proc
Since the game rigs the rng to favor towards a 1/5 chance
Its literally a node right next to VoC. Youre not going out of your way
Show? @calm shard
Its not like "ahh man, I have to take these trash ass nodes in order to have a 20% chance to literally double my damage and blow up this room"
Its right next to voc and the node that gives you a free nade every 60s
sec
BPistol?
truly veterans are plagued by tax nodes
If you dont take 20% chance to double your nades you are high
Shit I’ve been found out 
Play zealot if you dont want to use nades and want to just melee and gun down specials
Thats my hot take
Interesting TedTalk
I take precision strikes on shredder because I always use it with knife/dueling sword
uncanny strike bleeds lmao
Shredder is the leading damage for vets in auric/havoc, no?
You shouldn't. I don't know what I'm doing
That’s the best part u both dont know 
1 node is 20% chance to double your biggest damage source.
And that source is a colossal aoe
Underrated ass node
it is a fucking 12 meter radius (14 with bolt pistol)
and it kills every trash mob
2 of them will kill most elites
It kills everything. And you throw like 80 a game
80 x .2 = 16 free nades
VALUE
If there was a node that said "you get another 10 nades" everyone would take it
Only thing it doesn't kill is crushers, but you can just poke them twice with a dueling stick after you blow up all their friends
isn't that just what demolition team does
also shredders do in fact kill crushers with uncanny strike
Demo team is like "I heard you like free nades, so here are some free nades to go with your free nades. And theres a chance that free nade will get you another free nade"
Vets with demo team when it’s hunting grounds:
Hidden Vet passive: You get all the grenade pickups because Ogryns are poop city and Zealots/Psykers literally dont use nades
So the 80 grenades you're throwing and the 16 youre getting due to the 20% chance to throw 2 just turned into like 100+ nades
Youre like the oprah winfrey of nades
Some Zealots do use them though and a nuke is always nice to have for the oggy. Plus, when oggy nukes next to you, you get more nades anyway.
Opportunist will buff the bleeds too as it procs on the stagger from the explosion
The talent that gives you a grenade every minute is such a poor design choice
I've been wondering if Demolition Team doesn't give me more value than WM on one of my builds with how little I actually switch weapons in the middle of clearing a horde
You get 17 to 27 free nades, how is it bad? Purely talking non-havoc runs.
It should be a core part of the class
Like who wouldn't take that talent
It has to be the most obvious talent in the game right now
The taxiest of points
Wait, uncanny doesn't affect shredders
I don't think so at least
uh, ranged Dodge psyker talent? Veteran precision talent on the left?
well i sometimes don't take it with smokes
Also to roll it back, if you're doing lp with bistol twinned is nice if you can afford it
You mean deadshot?
maybe whatever the weak spot one is
Shredders do great damage, but their disruption is the critical role they play, hence why taking talents that give you more uses are popular but talents that boost damage are not
116 more REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I have no idea whast you talking abo ut
keystone?
+40% weak spot damage
Exe stance?
it's below exe stance yes
there is no such talent
Imo if you're doing LP anyways it's like you take similar nodes to if you weren't taking lp I think?
you mena Precision Strikes, +30% weak spot damage?
Demo team, the grenade regen
ya
The +1 grenade capacity talent helped me a lot with this
of course i am using it
problem is people often killing targets before grenades goes off
it should have shorter fuse
Yep
honestly I feel like the toughness Regen share talent is a must take too but
When there is a single armored target that the team is on I generally don't throw
It's good to lob into 10 packs of maulers or crushers that appear out of nowhere
this is great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n7eNFj_9Vk
This is an edit of Allen Pan's video where he gives a snake its legs back.
Watch it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SgGfMlbCoM
Audio is taken from here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gIMZ0WyY88
A krak grenade or brain burst seems to be a challenge to the team on being able to kill the target before it completes
I mean just throw it at scab stalkers
at least you can right click BB
Or was it the scab regular gunners
shooters or gunners?
it affects the bleed damage

As I looked back in the message history
Any enemy with flak
iirc if you start stacking uncanny after you drop shredders, two shredders will take out half of a crusher's health
which isn't half bad
So in theory both the regular shooters and the elite gunners will count
since you can do that to an entire wave of cruehers quite easily in an actual match
and in an actual match, you'll prob have uncanny up before hand
Scab stalkers will count too
throw 2 shredders in a panic at rager swarm
get all 4 back
okay demolition team
thanks I guess
The ability of Vet finding grenades on the ground excel that of the the Ogryn finding boulder.
If you run the bullet aura, bullets too
I finally got that a couple of days ago, felt good.
demo team just allows vet to store nades in slaanesh approved areas
Also got the "Make Every Shot Count" penance yesterday.
The Army told me that infantry is resourceful, I didn't understand until now.
I steal
Strategically Transfer Equipment to Alternate Location
The never ending battle of infantry vs logistic.
they steal them from the heretics
What by the throne do you suggest? You know that using heretic weapons can turn you heretic?
well yeah that's why veteran throws so many grenades
so that the heretic grenades don't taint them
obviously
Good afternoon everybo-
By the Emperor
Firing into shield doesn't count I think
Just do a mission with plasma
Hit your charged shots
And have no survivalist
And its done
(Preferably with a grey low ammo plasma gun)
Finally a use for a 0% stat weapon!
A psyker would probably pay a liver for a 0% warp resistance staff/force sword
shotguns are good too, as just one pellet hitting counts as a hit
The reason I suggested plasma was bulwarks
Bulwark shield hits count as a miss
Plasma goes through shield, so not a miss
Get out of my veteran chat you hate the class noob……
i didn’t realize i was in here
GET OUT
and plus
GET OUTTTTT
you crutch on vag
so like
ur basically just braindead
vet player
go use a real weapon
like plasma
and rashad
Zealot player btw ^^
fucking noob
again
Zealot player calling me a noob 🙄
says the vet player
go press F to win
noob…
who’s name
gale
what.
are you a bigger goober than him
i’d check but i cant on mobile rn
I wouldn't know lol
yes
i’m fairly sure i have more messages in zealot chat
than him
I will remember you from here on
I’m the server mandated Veteran player of Zealot chat
Aka they all hate me cause they WISH they were me
A veteran main
nobody wants to main vet
Whos gonna tell her
Mad cause bad 🙄
Take it to Zealot chat please
there we go
She’s mad she can’t use the Vigilant Auto as good as me so she copes by calling me a bad veteran main
You use the vigilant auto
you with mk3 evis me with VAG true duo when
we make each others builds
Oh i tried rhe mk6 knife yesterday
I don't have the muscle memory to consistently do the H1, H2, PA, H1 attack yet
When I actually have free time

Cause that sounds funny
Bro virgin autogun is pretty peak guys don't sleep on the autoguns. Infant Autogun and Brapauto are good too.
boooooo
Build swap duo
true !
Shits hard
Like no dead serious that sounds fun
please do not call it the brap auto
yah agreed
I mean it shits on heretics
I’ll have to send you my build I use now
Nomitive concurrence
My agripper is now the fortnite funny cannon and nobody can stop me
Vag being the acronym is crazy
mine is just standard tknife bene FOTF BP mk3 evis with shred PS flak elites, bolter with SI Puncture cara unyield
lmfao
acronym slop
i started saying that because it’s funny
It’s VA she just keeps calling it the VAG
i don’t think anyone else says it
It is funny indeed...
i still think FGS should be BFG
Me and her literally only say it when talking to eachother that’s it
because FGS looks like a slur at first glance
and it makes me do a double take
and BFG is funny
Nah the va sucks, vag is good though
Wouldn't it be BFS?
Look what you did
Now you’ve spread it
As in Big Force Sword (or big fucking sword)?
I prefer fg
Aaaaaah.
Force grabber

i know what you are.
It’s just a phase hopefully.
Imagine being Galephobic...
idek what galeophobia is
He literally blows himself up when he's hungies...
if it’s a thing
Yeah I FUCKING HATE sharks
you’ll grow out of it
It’s another term for Selachiiophobia
you’re just doing it for attention
oh thanks that explains a lot
Fear of Sharks
i see
I hate sharks that have a weight problem.
Speaking of BFG
I like the space sharks
she WISHES she was elster signalis
The quieter the chapter master, the better the second founding chapter.
Hence why Tyberos = Besteros
Facts
Also he got dual chainfists/powerclaws
@severe gale Who is that
That's why they gave Angelos a demon hammer
Speak softly [in the library] and carry a big [demon] stick.
who is who
Elster
signalis main charaxter
Single
u play as
Oh from the game
Never played
even more pawesome
Elster likes girls
Bet its good though
she just like me
it’s so good
I also like women
YOU LIKE KISSING GIRLS!!!!
not in the way i do…

Oh you've been playing signalis lately?
i finished it a while ago
I started a playthrough not too long sho 
finish it
Just got done the first medical wing
play aggressively
Yeesss
🥹
i already healed
trust…
Monkas!
just don’t heal too much

you have basically until death
u can always take one extra hit before u die
on a cooldown
No injectors too?
and a chance to not take damage when you get hit
nope
also die
i think twice
maybe more
idk
just trust
Peak fucking
i’m like ryan gosling but a girl
Imagine if James Sunderland had emotional intelligence
Zamn I'm literally Ryan Gosling...
Small world
imagine if james sunderland didn’t just lose his mind and go insane
the feminine urge to fight through horrors beyond this reality to keep my promise
TRUUUU
*dies
The good ending

Now hold on Trauma Dad genre is still alive and well
god, why didn u make me a Nid 😭
Isn't your character ambiguous enough to be
Oh nerd
Genre
mister E is cookingso hard
Character is pretty man coded but it could go either way

this goes hard 😔
The homosexual underground isnt real, it can't hurt you
The homosexual underground:
20-70 hour investment.
The combat is actually a LOT of fun once you parse the debuff system.
for those of you who don't get the joke the joystick is a metaphor for penis meme
From Just a Robot "Gumball Meets Trump Review": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P10LxO-vHY
Why?
Because being a woman is the worst. It's like playing one of your video without the "stick of happiness."
Do you mean the joystick?
Hahaha, I can't believe they let...
what is minimum pellet count
i’ve seen people mention or talk about it but
i didn’t actually know what it is
any weapon with multiple pellets will at LEAST do the damage of a certain number of pellets hitting
no matter how many actually hit
oh ok that makes sense
but they can do more if more hit
is a metaphor for penisss
old image
What they said above. It's the principle responsible for why I can snipe people with the Mk 5 unbraced.
Kickback used to have it set to 21 of 32 
Guys the kickback is bad I promise!
I'm krieg maxing like nothing rn
Deletes literally everything
I'm in the trenches in my mind
Is hotshot infernus?
No
.5 hitmass on Weakspot hit
Its cleave on weakspot hit
Ooooh
Aka pseudo BM
It's like man-stopper right?
Works passively even when put up so your melees benefit from it
Noo
Manstopper is infinite
It works on weakspot hit
Is that... any good? I've been using no respite armours bane I think?
Or no surgical armoursbane
wait fr??
it used to be
Was thinking of maybe getting the chained shot one I forgot what is called.
Yes
got nerfed though
Hotshot is always active
weight of fire
I tried shovel on auric maelstrom
yeah but the nerf was limiting its cleave
It's like with bm
They gave it 10% weakspot but got rid of infinite cleave past 3 bogies
In the guiiide
Friendship ended with bromentum new friendship with perfect strike
Weighted fire and surgical for the other 2 helbores
The fastest firing doesn't need it seemingly
Yes it makes shovel actually even more enjoyable to use
Why you’ll see Hotshot Helbore users usually run Shovel
I just feel so weak vs crushers
man CES is boring, where are my gpu launches?

Uncanny
AAAAAAAAAA
ur mom
It’s kind of like the taxe with extra steps
Speaking of the taxe the 7 is pretty sexxo
2 is good but I like the 7.
Works the best on 420 blazeit zealots
wrong, uncanny, skullcrusher
special, PA
repeat
1.6k damage
Real
yall are wrong
One tap Scab Ragers
go lacerate fist knife
Uncanny decimator though
Thrust shovel
Smackdown Flesh Tearer
The most chad of shovels
I always get messed up knowing that it's sometimes better to left click an enemy than spam heavies
And I only learned recently after having played and understood more vt2

Shut up you’re bad
You don’t even run Deci
🚬
you literally stinky
Bro shut up chud
Explode immediately
you also have girl cooties… not even grandfather nurgle can sire such a pestilence.
AMD desperately playing catch up.
This is soo boring
Where are my gpu prices?
bruh they have 5 minutes
where are my gpus?
lol, entire havoc40 team gets disconnected at the exact same moment.
clearly that warrants losing 1 attempt
Shouldn’t have crashed bro 🤷♂️
skissue
@tall torrent i will pay you for true survivor 😔
Pls I just want to get this so I never again touch havocs
Fear not everyone I just picked a few grand in nvda calls
So this shits gonna drill
Still patiently waiting for Heavy Autogun or Hot-shot volleygun for Veteran
My beloved.
i mean i feel like this art virtually guarantees we're gonna get something
probably not belt fed tho
i can imagine that being an animation nightmare
imagine weapon swapping at speed with a belt and it flies past your head into space 😂
I know, likes its GOTTA happen at some point. and I don't even really need for it to be belt fed, just high-capacity
And the recon lasgun does NOT scratch the itch.
oh is ces happening now?
Yea
There’s ways to reload a belt fed without it needing to be attached to a backpack
The biggest issue would be hotshots seeing they’re usually connected to them
Knowing FS they’ll probably make it some sort of large drum at the bottom of the gun
AMD didn't mention their gpus 💀
Nvidia sweeping again, even before they mention anything
Chat
Who's going to tell
💀
For veteran
You are getting 2 more plasma gun variants
That all want slightly different mod scores for maximum effectiveness
I hope we get a Plasma Pistol ngl
The joke is they’ll never do it
Oh and 3rd power sword variant
Or maybe the psword rework
My 🔮 is getting cloudy
Gimme a sec
I know there's a magdrum hotshot mini
You telling me it’s an actual fucking thing Lmao
Like my shot in the dark was right
Well not quite
Tempestus Aquilons iirc

Okay
Okay okay okay
If they actually do that I’m sold
I love that style of drum
Guys is the shockmaul any good? Considering trying it out after I finish devils claw sword.
Meh
Bad against monstrosities
So bring a Bolter or something
It’s ok. Has a niche
I would like a backpack for it, but I'd live without if it meant we just actually got either/or.
Skullcrusher is mandatory
I haven't played this game in ages what's skullcrusher?
Not possible seeing we have a backpack accessory slot for customization
That and it would heavily mess with outfits
I don’t have true survivor myself
And I wouldn’t use it over poxbreaker anyway
I think not possible is a bit extreme. It could just replace the backpack item when equipped.
What's poxbreaker again?
1M personal kills
I think poxbreaker is a cooler sounding title than “true survivor”
I don’t have it
Lmao
If that says anything
I’m like 999k though
Do u have true survivor?
Nope
Cause I haven’t bothered fully grinding havoc
Besides it’s a genuinely miserable game mode
I’m doing H40 and getting true Survivor for penance completion and then sticking to AuMaels
I would have gotten true survivor if potato didn’t insta-melt from gunner then blew themselves up in the one havoc game we played lol
I have the Havoc Forge title
The problem is that getting downed in high havocs is kinda inevitable with how horrible this game is coded
Anyway what would you guys recommend to take as a melee weapon for something like infantry autogun? I want to try things out myself which is why I'm planing on levelling multiple weapons I just don't know where to start.
You could always join really low level Havocs to farm that assist penance.
Combat axe
would you rather it all be dueling swords
Until they give veteran another good all-rounder melee it’s just gonna be Rashad 24/7
Tbh, yes
rashad at least has downsides despite being busted as fuck
Cringe
I think most of us have found that 1 or 2 weapons where we really know how to roll...and then just find all the other weapons don't have the same feel
though tbh
what about power sword?
I still like using heavy sword when I'm using helbore
helbore kills carapace so I don' need to worry about heavy swords awful carapace damage
Rashad lite (but takes way less investment to be good)
BTW @tall torrent is right side now better than center on the top of the talent tree?
For havoc I think yes
kills better than the rashad with less investment, but is even fucking slower and has to be turned back on every 3 swings
so if you go down the weapon specialist tree you would take rashad, and power sword otherwise?
That’s the plan but im 32
Usually yea
And I’ve yet to do 40
The only problem with Rashad is you kinda need Trench with it
So I’m gonna try to keep my havoc rank above 35 for True
Once I get that
Then I’ll butcher the rank for assists
Do assists first
I done my level 40 once
I'm going to use Discord LFG for True Survivor...when I feel like it
(I hang Havoc Forged on my title to prove to people I had done Lvl 40 at some point lol)
Nah it’s not needed because the game defaults to showing h40 as your level
Thing is I want an easier fall back to guarantee 40 and True runs
Vs waiting for a friend
Nah just hitch off someone else’s h40
(Even accounting for decay?)
The one shown above ur name is always “highest completed ever” and doesn’t have decay
So havoc forged is a useless title lol
I think poxbreaker is the coolest sounding title in the game
And it’s one that most people can’t randomly get
My favorite is shift supervisor
Or ring master
@tall torrent bte what do u run for curios in Havoc? 🤔
I keep playing an auric maelstrom before I access my havoc panel at the beginning of the week
IM STUCK IN HAVOC 1 STILL 
Heh Infiltration vision removes the ventilation purge filter
For once I see more in stealth
1 stam 2 toughness is good on vet
Wounderan
Just don’t get sniped or burstered
Just have yellow toughness 4head
Martyrdom vet is such a good build what are you talking about

I should probably do that at some point. Just to get a reaction out of mates
I wish I took a ss of the martyrdom ogryn
Wound actually doubles ur health 
Definitely take wound in havoc tentacle head mod
It will go fine
Definitely won't get one tapped by overhead
Yup
Your not even accounting for your downed health. All wounds is the ultimate tank build
I definitely never recommend Dclaw to anyone. It is my preference.
It is funny because you can parry the overhead attack from behind you.
I just love the gimmick.
Man, I wished we could have some more gunplay in havoc
Too bad, pox hardened skin for you
I dont mind pox hardened. I do mind 25% ammo efficiency
I love getting gunner/reaper spam with pox hardened skin 
My favorite was a pus hardened sniper that was like 300 meters away from us
Hardened + blight is the worst combo.
Wasnt aware that was a spawn location
Hardened parasite is a sleeper pain
im still mad they nerfed the penance to kill 1,000,000 enemies to a mere 500,000 enemies when i was at like 980,000 kills
You get a title at 1m now
yeah i know
At least when they added the 1000000 back it tracked retroactively
It does not feel the same, but it is something
but back in that patch suddenly everyone was running that frame which suddenly became worthless
You use frame to show off your achievements. I use frame for fashion.
The fuck you snipers penance
Honestly though, I don't even know what most of the frames are and where they come from.
thats the one. always had a hate boner for snipers
My favorite is the dog killing one's description "you should join the arbites"
Nothing feels as good as going exe stance bolter on fog sniper map
As the tradition dictates.
Indeed
Use the double barrel shotgun
idk if bulwark shields count as a hit, i've heard sanction redactus target shields count tho
shotguns are very forgiving because of the spread, as long as one pellet hits it won't be a miss
Also low ammo count, easier to empty out.
Die at start, respawn with 50% ammo 
do any other guns keep up for meta havoc builds (35+) on vet with the plasma and recon las?
or are those the two best for sure
havent experimented, just wondering if anything else feels close to as good for those, maybe bolter, columnus (or w/e its called now) or revolver?
i'd say mk ii infantry las w/ headhunter and ghost
plus deadshot too
ah, good at picking off gunners and keeping you safe i guess?
yeah
interesting bc its firepower total is terible
plus shotgunners too
but its does excel at that 1 thing
its higher fire rate compared to the rest of the infantry lasguns mean you can have more repeated upkeep of ghost
helbores offer similar performance to plasma gun with MUCH more ammo, but you have to build more into them
and also have to deal with their god awful draw times
it's how I've been staying alive on havoc 35+
Haven't seen good lasgun play in h40 at this point. Though tbf I haven't done that much h40
infantry lasgun is good for the same reason every psyker should be running staff
should i be building either of these differently? I've heard some say infernus isnt worth but i find it really good idk, i find myself shooting targets and leaving them to burn a lot
i've pretty much exclusively been using the mk ii infantry las for havoc
Yeah... no... please don't compare plasma to hellbore
also I rarely get concerned about ammo with the infantry las, even with the reduced ammo recovery on higher havoc
Mk IV helbore is very similar in playstyle to plasma though
and what do you guys do for curios in havoc, im still rocking 3 stam, 2x toughness
but should i be swapping to hp?
I use the same curios
hp is still worse in havoc
shooters will instant kill you regardless of health
but enough TDR can give you time to react
especially on vet with iron will
What
mk iv helbore and plasma gun
5% tough, 4% cooldown, 12% stamina regen perks across the board fine too for havoc?
ive been doing fine, but my zealot build is way more tuned in and havent messed with my vet one so shoring it up lol
you don't need their charged shots for smaller enemies so you just tapfire them
don't
to save ammo
I don’t think the krieg backpack fits that well with Elysian armor
Idk it fits pretty well to me
Can someone verify I'm not crazy
Full Bore is a Player buff not a Weapon buff right?
I swear I can quick swap to the slug shotgun, throw a slug at an enemy, then use that 20% power bonus w/ my Melee
Tbf i dont see much lasgun alltogether
And you know that top 5 in havoc is pretty low commitment 
Eh, called it !
Karnak hm ?
Also no ammo maelstrom and prenerf blessed boss
Fair
What are the 4 guns above btw ?
Eh, i should try bolter
Played hip or ads ?
On vet
My prob with bolter is low synergy with melee build, and poor havoc ammo eco that limit gunplay
That the ammo eco issue 
Spoken like a true veteran
If it werent for the ammo eco it'd be a no brainer in my book
Anyway, ill try it next time
My general feeling on lasguns
Just hit headshot lul
Have you tried inspiring barrage on bolter ?
The rounding down effect is pretty fun
I dont think its meta. I just think its fun
Refill your bar in half a mag
With that being said, need to get my beauty sleep. Good daemon hunting mate
ok im pretty new to looking for "perfect" stat rolls but is there a way the normal stat caps can go above 380? Have a helbore at melks with all 80s but 1 at 61 which i thought couldnt happen?
woo-hoo ambush! ( such enthusiasm xD )
Backend rounding problems
Dw it doesn’t matter basically ever
ah okay, thanks
did you just finish working on the drywall at mcdonalds?
... 2 chicks at the same time
Almost got True Survivor tonight
Mercantile, 36, shout Vet (me), bubble Psyker, book/cleanse Zealot, taunt shield Ogryn
It was going well until we got to the area just before the bridge to the amphitheatre; champion spawn, horde, Plogryn, tox bomber
I got separated and downed by a gunner I couldn't see, Psyker followed soon after, we both died but the Zealot and Ogryn clutched up to rescue us
We cleared, though I do wish I played it cool, might've been able to save myself and the Psyker
the trick for true survivor is to just die instantly without getting downed (mostly joking but it sorta works)
i barreled someone into instant death in sycorax yesterday but we still got it afterwards
it does make things harder on the team because you gotta 3 man it until you pick up the person again (whereas if they just got downed you could immediately rez them and keep going with 4), but not losing the chance for true survivor is a small silver lining in a pretty bad situation
However, it is hard on the rest of the team and they might get wiped.
yeah the ideal situation is nobody gets downed or dies, for sure
whats the way to go curio wise for havoc
is going for 200hp still the play or is that borderline impossible
Just do it the normal way with good players, it is less stressful for everyone.
I just go triple Toughness with extra Toughness, cooldown reduction, and stamina regen on all three
i'm just saying that if you're doing a true survivor run and one person outright dies without first being downed, true survivor is still technically possible
On a tangential note, I wish the Havoc weekly reward cache could be claimed automatically
Missed last week's because I thought it was available to claim on Mondays
What
I thought you can claim it any day of the week?
Or did you not claim it the entire previous week?
It wasn't available to claim whenever I checked
I did claim the caches for the three weeks prior to last week, though
Last week havoc was bugged, I didn't recieve any rewards at all even though I successfully completed h40. Are you sure your havoc counted?
I had an assignment rank of 35 at the time, so I'm pretty sure
Currently sitting at 34, but I did just complete a 36 so that'll be my new rank next week
I think only your highest havoc completed this week is important. It's a number on the right of the havoc screen
And for me last week it was 0 no matter what I completed
Did anyone get rewards for last week lmao
well that was a new one. got the lack of audio cue bug on a dh of all things, hit a group with flames, and suddenly the dh wanted me dead
there wasn't even the aura around it, was just a body in the middle of chaff
veterunning from all my problems
Nah still salty, wanted my diamantine
I did but for the wrong level
it still updated my rank though which is the most important thing so
can't complain
I think yes
I got double rewards for my 35 two weeks ago, then last week I did a 40 and got no reward crate. My assignment is a 40 for this week tho so there's that
I guess I won't miss 7k plasteel lol
I have a morbillion resources so it’s hard to say
With the havoc rewards we'll all be plasteel millionaires soon
you weren't already?
I spent my plasteel in the endless RNG machine so I wasnt
Probably spent a mil tho lol
huh, the peaking is actually kinda said
Yeah, all the 40s have been lining my pockets nicely
It's actually kinda neat for some weapons
Granted you gotta take the smallest vet size possible to get the most value
oh so it wasn't just me?
What’s the best vet build for someone who’s trying to get good enough for havoc
short king vet canonically strongest
Honestly though it's legit
When I first got the game I did it as a meme
Until I figured out with my Zealot who I made comically large
that he is in fact too large to crouch behind cover to hide from snipers and other ranged enemies
My Vet ofc never had this issue
Nah
It’s so underutilized it doesn’t matter
Ngl, Plasma Gun, Power Sword, Shredder Frags, Demolition Team
Survivalist and shout will carry you pretty far, take a plasma gun and probably a duelling sword or something for hordeclear depending on team comp
I mean I use it lol
But I'm silly
Nah, near max height is way easier to hit weakspots in melee
What melee are u planning on using
This is true, but I unironically have an easier time with the Mk 6's weird stab hitbox with a smaller character
On Crushers/Monstrosities specifically
I think dueling sword but just because it’s what I’m used to from psyker
Can't go wrong with DS
DS only downfall is bad horde clear but if you take shredders with demo team you dont really have to worry about that lol
Are u playing veteran in havoc just for fun or
I like Power Sword over DS due to ease of access for horde and single target
Is light attack spamming not the go to with horde clear? I saw someone using only the heavy thrusts to good effect
I try to really conserve my plasma for "Oh shit" situations
Like a flamer
Otherwise I just juice ammo out of elites with my PS
I’ve been playing a couple months and just want to build up to being good enough for havoc
For mk4 duelling sword, heavy atk is only for single target
clearly the only true option is to grab shovel to establish superiority on heretics
Shovel is goated if you go for a Grenadier build
By far the best for that build rn
Maybe Shock Maul will get the buff it deserves
and take that spot
tbf that is the build i run it on, partially for the shits and giggles
I'm just so accustomed to agile melee now that the power sword is like wearing an anchor. But it is great no doubt
You just have to get used to the dodges is all, I run an 80 mobility sword, so it's not all that bad
Besides 4 dodges is more than enough most of the time
I'm really surprised we haven't been nerfed to 3 yet
Or atleast 3 at 60%
I don’t think duelling sword is the best melee on veteran for havoc but it’s a very cheap option if u want single target (which frees up points for other things)
a lot of ppl swear by combat axe for vet
I might be leaning on dodge spam in melee too much cuz I always run out lol. Maybe practicing my PS skills again will up my game
But a Deci Uncanny Shovel with Carapace and Flak? You'll be juicing those Shredder Frags
nah, just need to get some pushes in there when you run out of viable dodges
ngl
or focus on spacing
What melee do you like running for vet on havoc ?
Rashad
I'm running 2 +3 stam curios on most of my builds rn just so I can push/block with the Power Sword easier
Ah
so much stamina
I used to run +2 on my sword but I wanted more dmg for Havoc
was considering heavy sword but not sure how it goes
Yeah I'm split between rashad and dueling sword
i haven't even gotten 2 +3s lmao. I did get one that was a lie
and I don't get hit so I don't need more toughness really
So I just went for 5% hp toughness and 4% cd with a 21% hp to get the 200hp mark
smdh at 400 rating curios out here lying
All three stamina curios with deadshot recon 
+9 stamina chads
that hurts my soul
+3 stam is such a QOL boost that I will take the minor hit to the paper value
I do like the extra safety of having the stam tbh, and since I've swapped to having Mark Target with the stam refund, I get good value from the curios
If u don’t run health curio you have to take triple +5% health on perks basically
Since every time I kill an elite I get like 25% stam back
Which chains really well with the PS push attacks
I'm.... just running 2 toughness with +toughness
am I missing some reason I need health?
Where 25%
i need to start blocking especially bad players so i stop getting them in parties >.> like the 3rd time i've gotten this zealot randomly
Target Down
below a certain threshold I know a poxburster blast on high havoc will insta-kill you from full hp
5 stacks of focus target
But idk all the breakpoints
Each stack for 5% stam
oh yeah that is a thing
5*5=25
didn't think hp would help with that tbh
hp makes a big difference with snipers and bursters
I assumed I was dead either way
yeah its survivable with higher hp
Havoc has -35% health modifier OM players
Veteran has 150 base health, which is 97.5 in havoc
Sniper damage is 122.5
Burster damage is 100 (50 corruption at blast Center)
This means if you don’t have enough health, getting hit by a single burster insta-kills u

No down
fuckin bursters
Unless you have shout or gold toughness ofc
Immediate death
In short don't get hit
so what I'm hearing is true survivor material
Well, the extra stamina doesn’t actually matter that much imo
💅
low hp for true survivor runs lmao good idea
fair
since insta-dying doesnt fail True Survivor
I basically use most of my stamina while trying to book it with the power sword
I'm ngl ya'll should 100% listen to @tall torrent I'm a goober who's gotten so decent at the game that I can afford to play off meta shit because I can make it work anyways
when zealot had book
You can't go wrong with 17% toughness or 21% hp
You’re not gonna block attacks much in havoc in the first place, and you don’t get much better PAs unless u take stam regen delay node
also psword push....
Hence why I dumped stam regen, and instead took the stuff for flat stam refunds
Since it scales better with more stam I figured why not
Target down is not 25%
It 100% makes chaining elite kills together with the PS push attack easier
Target down is like 10% each
You get what I mean though
If you're tagging effectively it's a good sustain
Yea, big difference between 10% and 25%
For power sword & duelling sword it’s good value ig?
||Cough cough catachan cough||
I imagine the catechans fall off in high havocs
Well
I've actually made it work with a silly build
Most things fall off going into havoc
I miss when the Infantry Lasgun was the meta
I ran plasma psword, and pretty much mained shredder frag grenades
🗿
and being dead
They’re pretty good in havoc
shredder should get a buff
Well, at least the Mk IIb
Downside of infantry lasgun in havoc is that u want mostly left & middle, so you can’t run axe with it and perform as good
It has a lot of ammo and kills specialists better than laspistol
