Is it ment for healing
Braced is sorta like a specialist/wave clearing tool for mixed hordes
Anyone has a good build for a shock moul vet?
I looked at it
@orchid hemlock it will be perfect
Won’t be able to pull it off completely till I am a higher level
heres what i do. ranged weapon would be bolt pistol in this setup
(actually i use exploit weakness instead of 25 toughness but shht)
feel free to go one motion > out for blood > movespeed node at the start instead
It’ll prob be fine
But it's not the mighty @tired egret
will it grant me the juicy extra +1 shot
If thermal resist doesn’t drop, yea
Still fine

U get like 10ms extra pre-fire delay
No big deal
U have to be a special kind of special to tell that difference
i am neo the frames breathe through me
Theres NO WAY!?
Me when I miss Boltpistol 1 tap breakpoints 
you got it right
ye das it
Where is the most recent version of your build?
Are you a taxe user or something?

nah i hate t axe
i use rashad and shovel usually
Ok it was an axe
I like thinking when I play
time to turn off my brain then:
What melee weapon should I grind so far I've only really used the dueling sword
Rashad combat axe
Combat knife
power sword, knife, rashad are the next best pick your poison. I heard shock maul is supposed to be nice? (I didn't try that one yet).
got the shovel, heavy sword, chain sword, chain axe, tac axe, etc. next tier weapons that people enjoy but are not the same level
Just bring something for monstrosities and Smaul will go bzzzzt
smaul is meh besides it counters bulwarks
which is uhh, something vet doesn't struggle with usually
But it is fun
What do you guys recommend for the every shot count penence
Double barrelled shotgun
Does every pellet count towards acurracy
As long as 1 pellet hits something that wasn’t dead, it counts as that shot having hit an enemy
Can I did comet and reconnect to reset acuracy or did they fix it
not sure
Thats been fixed for ages
What map do you recommend for this or the easiest way to get it done
Just do rolling steel or twins so you have less time for pain
Keep blasting your low ammo gun
Which mark of the recon lasgun is the most ammo efficient?
unless you're purely relying on infernus for damage (who does that), mk vi
coincidentally, also my preferred mark
Cause they are all balanced around manstopper
What
Agri turns into a railgun that competes with zarona outside of cara/unyielding
Accatran turns back into a decent weapon
And zarona (formerly lawby) wipes horde and low tier elites with ease
They are carried by their blessing
Manstopper
A metric shit ton of cleave if you crit, and vet can force a lot of ranged crits
Also yea agri shotgun still oneshots trash shooters at mid range with it’s normal rounds, sure they aren’t the best weapon but they aren’t ass
But is it booming
Hell even in havoc i think a meme manstopper flechette could still do work no?
DB works
Yea but that’s havoc 40
Nah even in base game
The havoc 40 meta is basically it’s own game
Combat shoguns’ consistency is wack
Cause kanty just ate too much nerfed before the name change
Their ammo pool would be fine if they were consistent headshot 1 tap weapons
Because every other headshot 1 tap weapon has ~same amount of ammo as them
Excluding the mk7 v.auto
How can I force crits on vet
Weapon specialist
Is it just weapon spec
Or deadshot
I think there's a node above exe stance for 10% crit chance for 20% of clip after reload
Recip deadshot scattershot
holy awesome
Or weapon spec
Trash node iirc tho im not sure how it functions with stage reloads
It's fun on plasma I think
Big clip = funny
It triggers more than 20% damage if noones within 8m of you
Nah
Because there's always someone within 8m of you
Doesn’t plasma take more ammo per shot
Opening salvo is
Idk
Pathetically mid outside of a few weapons
It really only matters for Helbore / recon / laspistol
With shock trooper
Idk id rather just take recip
And maybe the Vraks 5
But that’s if you’re going through exe stance in the first place
Your always dodging
If u don’t take exe stance, it’s not worth 1 point
Exe stance plasma is very sad
Or my infantry las
I need it for shooting people worth shooting
Exec stances mega hard investing for bps
You don’t need it to shoot at stuff
Shout vets accepting they just need to shoot one more time if they barely invest
But I need that vetovision
Exe stance’s whole schtick for plasma is to pre-fire wallbang
If you’re not using it for that purpose it’s sorta just not great
The +25% damage is additive, not multiplicative, so it’s actually like 5~8% damage off from major breakpoints
I think the best exe stance gun is Boltgun
^
I am not running boltgun
Exe stance Boltgun is prob the highest damage build on veteran
I quite like the highest damage one
I see a lot of people who juice what used to be the meta lasgun (highest damage)
Rewards precision
The king of fell off weapons
But it’s just 10x easier, more ammo efficient and higher rof
It’s not very good
Just stop playing this fucking game
Lasgun IX is the same shots to kill as VII but with much slower firerate and more ADS sway
It dont even remember it got nerfed, more so power crept and people solved the game

Oh no
The true cadia
It’s basically do you want to do the bare minimum investment and get 2shot bps with mk7
Power sword sucks ass
Cadia fell because they had chainswords instead of axes
Gotta power it up first
Or do you super hard invest to barely hit mk9 inflas breakpoints
Cadia fell because they all ran shout vets.
That’s its gameplay loop
No they were stealth vets
If they all went exe stance they could've shot the Blackstone fortress out of orbit
If they did abaddon would have gotten stun locked
Diablo 2 barbarian moment
Cadia fell because they didn't get the stealth zealot with the thammer
Abbadon would've been cooked
Chainsword is prob one of the worst options on veteran
Ehh
I'm fucking killing myself
So iconic
So one dimensional
Idk about worst
I am about to shoot someone
I think there is a couple things worse
One of
Than chsword
It would be good
If it had 2x the single target damage and stagger
Is also pretty meh for veteran
On my zealot
Wouldn’t call it “great” on zealot
Cause it likes attack speed and damage stacking
More like, fine
It is
I keep fucking dying on zealot
Unless you factor in havoc
I can't dodge
Then you are just, limiting your fun
I keep running tf out
The damage distribution cap is still just so wrong
Yea but it has significantly more stagger than evi to compensate
No I just like fury of the faithful and jumpscare myself into the horde
Blood for the god emperor
I'm trying to just spam heavies
And mk4 chaxe is extremely safe single target because it can light spam
I think it’s just “fine”
Which is the biggest downside to chain weapons is their long activation+activated shred animations
B tier pick
A- tier
Just run second wind, duelist, good balance, and inexorable judgement dodge extension node
Force urself to dodge
Stop panic dodging
Learn the timer where all your charges regen at once
Ultra instinct requires a calm mind and body
I wish one of my vet weapons weren't so ass
Like the plasma or highest dmg infantry las
Or make exe stance better
I learned via brute force, pre nerf chaos spawn when i was using chaxe when it had the worse dodges in the game
God please buff exe stance
It’s playable
Plasma is one of the better weapons lol you just dont know what makes it good yet
Nah it’s fine where it is
The problem is pathing
2 bad nodes

No thanks it had it’s time in the sun back in the feats era
75% DR infinite duration confirmed kill at 25% instant /25% overtime that stacked
Instant reload
If u rly want to play exe stance I think Boltgun is by far the best gun for that
Just run bistol
Puncture lethal proximity
Nades and bistol solve all your issues, my melee is the mk1 shovel
Plasma and chainsword was the reason I bought this game
I mean that’s a fine build
I saw that shit once and went "man I want to fucking gamble"
Plasma and chsword cover eachother’s weakness
I'm very disappointed because there's no gambling in the plasma
I wish chainsword was better
Factual
Honestly i dont
I fear one buff will make it like the recons
Die
Where everyone starts running it
Plasma is the only gun in the game that requires serious gambling for perfect roll now lol
Nah
Edited to the right gun
The plasma exe stance functions well enough for me atm
Chsword crit dmg doesn’t fall off with cleave any substantial buffs risk it being the dominant meta
I just need the chainsword to be buffed
Give it more chain-revved damage
Give it enough stagger to interrupt rager combo on weakspot hit with heavy atk
Give it more single target damage outside of chain-rev
Im pretty sure it will be the next recon if buffed except abused by zealots
And psykers and vets lol
Please buff the chainsword it'll be the only cadian boon this edition
At least the fucking weapon swap macro was killed by fatshark
The macro abusing chsword users were annoying
And they have all become quell cancel macro users
Because as it stands Chainsword’s anti-elite is just miserable
Is the chainsword good for hordes
Yes
I rev it from time to time because God damn it's so satisfying
It’s basically only chaff clear
Bruisers?
It falls off when you start putting in bruisers
I mean 13g with wrath or mk4 with rampage shred or rampage sweep can handle it
It’s just, a nose dive
Combat axe has 5 dodges & same mobility
Way better anti-elite
Way better single target vs carapace & unyielding
Still faster horde clear
Compared to it’s poxwalker/groaner clear
I don't need allat I have the plasma for that shit
Run exe Boltgun, it does that better
Ig if u just don’t care about optimizing builds that’s fine
Auric doesn’t need that much build optimization
I don't want to go havoc
U can beat 3veg by getting carried randomly
It’s how much u want to carry
Where optimization starts mattering a bit more
Being a plasma user from the get go made me very focused on targeting elites and specials
Honestly bistol doesn't sound all too bad
I used bistol when I was zealoting
Not too shabby
Boltgun hits every 1 tap breakpoint that plasma normally doesn’t
And it’s not like chainsword needs much melee investment for veteran anyway
Even if u turbo invest into melee talents, chainsword is still just chainsword
It goes brrr
And dreg bruisers look very tasty
Hit them with an overhead from like the mk13 while revving it and sparks come flying out
It's very
Satisfying
So is repeatedly hitting crushers with it with the revving on
God I hate gunners
They don't die to one hit plasma
They do tho
With exe stance it’s 1 bodyshot kill pretty sure
I go monkey mode with plasma
If u build talents correctly
Sometimes it is
Sometimes it isnt
Nah
Maybe I've got the wrong blessins
I run flak/unyield
So I can deal with ogryns and contribute more with bosses
Unarmored + flak/maniac
What the fuck
I guess flak + maniac?
The dreg gunners
You guessed it
Maniacs I already beat the shit out of
And Tox bomber
Unarmored flak in h40 for me
Stop shooting bosses
I am not fucking meleeing the bosses
I don't want to get vored
By the beast of nurgle
Bubble bubble. And/or dodge throw up
U can melee plague ogryn and chaos spawn pretty easily
Well, chainsword would be harder but still fine usually
Peak
You marked it 
I think I'll send my build later
Yea what else are u supposed to build
I run weapons spec
It needs redirect fire for bodyshot breakpoint
killzone doesn't matter much for this build's breakpoint since it's hard carried by redirect fire anyway
Right side to trench drill
yea too bad
What
built exe stance just to miss 1 taps
What does Rending do again
u don't need it for plasma
Oh
I dont like this build 
I don’t either
Anyway imma go home and read what weapon spec actually does
I wouldn’t run exe stance for plasma in the first place
It makes your melee go brrr
So the stacks for weapon specialist matter for the ranged attack speed or
And your first shot go crit
Yes
Not much for plasma
It’s more for automatics
Noticiable on autogun but... not super useful ?
So the main point of weapon spec is the crits
I'm guessing like after 3 stacks of ranged spec it's just a guaranteed crit
Main point is ranged crit and melee bonus
Aight
But unfortunately you got a chainsword so
That melee side bonus doesn’t make that huge of a difference
You know how much pain it is to build for those.
I actually found it to be simpler
The downside is u have to take superiority complex
It’s way way way harder without superiority complex
Also I just finished braced autoguns’ stagger breakpoints
So much pain and suffering
kinda my point. i dont want to miss out on WS + subnode / bring it down + rending strikes / or demo team + other just to get superiority
not when the taxe is the focus of the build
rending strikes is not needed for tac axe
u just gotta accept that it will be bad vs carapace & unyielding no matter what
so this outdated?
Numbers?
I dont even remember boltpistol bps, maybe elite gunner headshot 
Basically u need 2x 5% ranged damage nodes, puncture and superiority complex
Everything else is simple from that point on
I think 2nd blessing is build dependent
Best use case is obv lethal prox with frag grenades
But if u want it to be revolver 0.8
Point blank is genuinely not bad
Lasts quite a while and allows u to crit bodyshot 1 tap things
Can’t 1 tap bodyshot dreg rager like revolver tho 
So it’s still not as good as revolver but for auric that kinda doesn’t matter
I think i only have 5% ranged damage node in mine, the one over/under ammo aura
Oneshot carried by weapon spec crit 
Also puncture to finish off trapper bodyshot
So it’s not hard to get
Just checked, 5% ranged and puncture 
I think that requires puncture to bleed flamers quite a while?
Its 2 shots or a crit headshot iirc
Nah flamers are in 1 headshot territory
Can you even not get 2×5% ranged or ranged+fire team on a build that tries ?
Without superiority complex, it’s hard to build breakpoint
I just put it at good enough 
I guess if you go speed aura ?
Redirect fire + fire team is missing 12 damage on scab gunner for 1HS

Smth like that
Path frags > ammo aura > right/middle nodes for weapon spec 
Yeah but not taking left for weakspot is also hurting melee
Left tree weakspot, ammo and complex are great for ws build
Replaced the 30% weakspot talent for nade regen + tinkerer 
dump stat on spearbolter?
Mobility
thanks for the info!
Me watching as the bitch ass psyker leaves me nothing to kill
I dont think you really know what it feels like
what is he using?
'Member talent tree introduction psyker ?
Surge Macro Spam
Thats the new age version of it lol
There's like, 3 psykers that knows how to use it.
Reminder to the m1 macro users
There's people banned over it's use
Drop it 
Oh and guys if you see one, report em
I saw a quell cancle once
I dont think youll get much reach here
i always play as devs intended
With locks on
yes

I once got accused of cheating for playing limbsplitter bm bayonet. 
Never forget what they took from us


The staff that shoots big blue balls
the best staff
Assail gaming?
Bingo
Though arguably the voidstrike (ball one ?) was even worse during the same patch
That requires gear
Assail only need talent pathing, then you just throw funni shard for 20 mins while exploding a few times
Lrn2emergency vent and lvl that penance.
I was bad at it though, never actually hit over 100% lul.
Im not the one exploding 
Both heresy and damnation (auric doesnt exist yet) are populated with these assail monkeys that literally hold w and m1 assail
The worst part? Thanks to how busted assail and prenerf talents was you can literally do this until you either explode or gets crusher/bulwark spammed
But the penance. (Was a chore.)
I had 3 by the time I was done being a complete nub.
.-.
The rest was done by just running around with EK/Strike purposely going over 100%.
An extra cast is not a chore for me
I think i did it in 2 runs?
Muscle memory keeps making me quell at 97-98% lul.
Also the loud boom.
Plasma related accident, I see.
why was he charging up shots in the first place
pointless waste of ammo on higher havocs
Love of the game it seems
Meets crusher breakpoints for cleave
But outside of that yeah
Ah. Never saw one in higher havocs so no clue really.
Isn't it actually less damage?
It was like x2 damage for x2.5 ammo or something like that
No clue. But more meant in a per shot basis for bp.
is bolter executioner posture viable on havoc?
found out there is a way to glitch carnival 1 (so you can skip most of the first third), still not sure how that works
This was on hab dreyko and they were naked spamming vaccum capsule
In a 1000 hours I think I've only had 2 runs with macro spammers
Once two vets, stuff died suspiciously fast and the tag spam was nuts
Once a psyker, didn't help him much in the end...
i remember a vet using tag spam, that shit was annoying to hear
If I’m running focus target and I tag a mob and someone kills it before I get to shoot my bolt pistol is saddens me that if I had just shot instead of spending the 0.5s tagging that would have been my kill
On the Asia central server those guys love a ping/tag
Guess it makes sense since I assume they all speak different languages
tagspamming is annoying as fuck
you can turn it off in the sound options but that shouldnt be on me. i want to hear pings, just not 10 per second
Ran into too many M1 and location spam pingers to leave the audio on. I ping enemies a lot but not the same 1 over and over again
is hadron getting corrupted by nurgle??
i just bought this recon with 60 collateral 80 ammo, after max upgrate i get 62 collateral and 78 ammo
I even turned off mods to see if I was tripping
By the emperor who ever thought of giving the head hunter guns 2x zoom should 2x zoom their necks themselves this gun is unusable now, when did they kark up the zoom on it
You know how much work that is
Cant you also cheese it with melee?
2nd this… stick on Vraks IAG and play it run n gun
the penance is so easy, you dont need any cheese
You can have the penance done in like 8 aurics maybe less if you hip fire hordes in the face
And it’s also fun because when you do get 10 stacks on an IAG oh baby the shit goes
The emperors lawnmower
I used a recon lasgun while waiting for massive hordes on damnation
Having to stad still and doing a lot of missions to complete was pretty boring
standin still in darktide is really hard to do even with the 6 sec grace period
It’s good if you wanna get netted or dogged
Yeah, its making me play worse by trying to conform to the keystones playstyle
Its aweful lol
I just ignored the grace period and relied on the fact the IAG headshots are so frequent and pretty much one tap into hordes even if your stacks start to decay it fills straight back up
IAG?
Ahh
ive been cheesing it a bunch by standing still and slashing at hordes and using shredders
If you hip fire that into hordes at head height it shreds everything
Vet penance cringe
And your benefiting from the increased reload speed
I found the armourbane the Krak penance the worst for Vet
I think Ogryns overall are the worst because it’s so Grindy
5000 kills with hard hitter max stacks shit like that
I didnt mind the ogyn ones because I played ogryn at the time. The taunt one was dumb but fast, just playing normally and the other 2 just happened
Hh is free you dont even have to think about it most of the time
Yeah unless you specifically want the penance done so you can stop playing ogryn 😂
Crabwalk one.
The zealot fire nade was also awful. When I done it the immo nade had to actually get the killing blow, it took like 30 games or some shit to do then I saw in patch notes it was supposedly a bug
It wasn’t supposed to be like that
I think it only counts the initial impact kills.
Anything walking in after lul.
It was some bullshit whatever the bug was because I’d be throwing like 12 a game and get 20 kills
at this point
only class that unironiclaly using shock mauls
is the vet
that weapon died
Naw funni smykers.
Thunder with thunder and some more thunder
Shock mauls are so awful to use, IDK how I used it before.
No dodge, okay blocks. Weird st moveset if you don't start with special.
Because it had lightning reflexes which was really cool
10 secs tazing them slowly to death.
They just roundhouse you though.
Then beat the shit out of you while you're downed
Hnmmm
Maybe FS should make gunners hold the trigger if electrocuted
You want to die, is it?

-Sun Tzu, the art of war
Since unless you stealth taze, you are getting shot.
Just taze and get out of the way
They'd still be electrocuted
And apply that to smite as well
This is evil though.
Are shock mauls actually bad
I haven't taken one into havoc but I normally used like Skullcrusher and the one that has a chance to stun on hit
Just mid tbh
Currently taking the troll blessing that stuns on timed block
I dont like them
It's funny
Idk why but the range doesnt feel right to me
It only applies to one enemy so if a poxwalker hits you right before the rager you only stun the poxwalker not the rager
Yup
But I mean like its lights and heavies
Just feel so short
Compared to say, chainsword/shovel/knife
I didn't notice, is it shorter?
No idea
The main thing I look for in melee is usually horde clear which it has kind of a struggle with but not too bad
So shovel mk1

Shovel doesnt really horde clear
It horde controls
The mk1 devils claw horde clears but the lights are lacking in killing power in comparison to shovel
Yup
and the parry is more situational
And lately I tried out the green flip shovel
Was interesting
Weapons I liked during masteries: shovel, combat axe, dsword, knife, csword, dclaw
Weapons that I went ehhh on: power sword
Its powerful but you need stuff staggered before you fight with it
Weapons I didnt like: taxe, smaul
So it's useless without tossing a frag first or taking voice of command
And I like executor stance
Dont like it but I still use it in my 40 vet build
Worst weapon in the game to be ambushed with is power sword
For braindead horde clear
Yeah but activation takes so long and it has horrible blocks and dodges
if you aren't using frags or voice of command you just die mid horde because the unpowered strikes are ridiculously weak
I was taking it with frags and I ended up running out of frags because I would rather toss frags then use the sword
However against like crusher hordes in the one auric maelstrom it's pretty serviceable
I always take sunder
I'm using the one with the fat blade
Same I think
the heavies are straight across
You should be using the other one because the fat blade is really really bad
Power->light->light->light
The other one got buffs and left the old one in the dust
As everything combo
Dont remember the name, just the moveset and combo
Yeah
Overead heavies
The one you use goes from activate to block smoothly
The scandar doesn't
yours also has innate block stamina cost reduction
Scandar doesn't
Oof
I have no idea why the disparity is this high
Difference in usability is night and day
But the straight across heavies with sunder is great for lots of heavy armor
Good luck fighting even a single rager though
4-5 hits to kill a bruiser with diagonal lights
I mean unpowered
Ah
Need advice on how to build an infantryman lasgun
Is it good an a Sniper rifle?
I like the scope a lot
From what i got yeah you basically snipe anything you dont like
Elites, gunners, mildly threatening goons
I wish it got it's cannon fire mode switch though
But as for the build what i was recommended is dump mobility, get ghost and headhunter
+25% for maniacs and +25% for flak armour
Is it good idea to use Deadly Accurate instead of Ghost or will I get overwhelmed?
Dont think im competent enough for that, sorry, but i do remember it being proposed as an alternative
If you hit heads it works
I recommend Ghost instead of Deadly Accurate. Especially for Havoc. With the mk iid in particular, the faster fire rate helps with keeping Ghost up
Definitely take ghost
Go way down the left skill tree
You need insane amounts of headshot damage
I use flak and elite to one shot scab gunners
If you run maniac and unyielding with headhunter, deadly accurate on a marksmans focus build you can 1 shot anything in the game outside of crusher, maulers, and bosses. Need the crit for reapers
Bulwark will barely survive I think
300 yellow health xD
this looks like a moba screen
1 overhead will still eat it all though lol
try out recon one. its very fun
Plz dont lie to the newbies
With executor stance, you have no suppression, you can get rid of determined
They need grenade tinkerer with kraks

Longshot is bad imo, don't need the share highlights for exe stance but can run it if you like. Don't recommend deadshot. Determined is not needed on exe stance. The 10% rending at 10 or more stacks is is meh but use it if you like
Here is what I use, not necessarily the best
longshot is good specifically for the inflas
but yes no Deadshot
No iron will is sorta rough
Hmmmm
it'll only help with carapace
he's looking for am inflas marksman
What bps are even there for long shot with an ilas that blessings won't get ya?
I know
Are you saying it's good because of its reverse damage fall off?
This is left side skill tree stuff
You can have better value going middle and then left for exe and mf
Yes, I like mowing down troopers from 20 feet away with bodyshots with the blue inflas
it one shots after a certain range
I don't think it justifies Longshot personally
it helps
20% damage isn't small
I use mine as anti infantry, I stand there and shoot tons of gunners shooters and specialists and as long as I can hit a head consistently I can't be killed
I posted the build already discussions over
Oh I just noticed I replied to someone else and not the guy looking for a build, my b
Inf las is more a battle rifle
Ex stance is pointless in that voice of command exists
Let the other three voc veterans do that
Boring way to look at it
And trying to play as a true sniper in this game is a trap
in fact why even bother trying to play anything other than plasma gun and voc and duelling sword
Everyone is a melee combatant first and foremost
btw, which Recon las would you guys take for a Exy Stance crit-focused build?
I know that Shock Trooper gives the free shot per crit chain, which is why I'm asking about this, because otherwise I would just go for mk12 recon (the very fast firerate one) because of its dps alone...
You can literally play any ranged and melee weapon with voc
Blue fast one
OR LOWER
You can not take voc if you purposefully want to make yourself worse I guess
so mk12, good to know...
True
But 4 1 brain cell VoC shouts in panic against boomers is funny though.
There are better things like back for blood even
i will admit to being wrong though

How do I properly use Infiltrate
Long shot even in its best case doesn't seem good
People tell me that it's better, I think it's definitely better if you are primarily melee
Also how long do I have to talk to get image perms I have something very funny to post that happened to me
With how ilas is built like
With veteran I'm always trying to shoot and when someone gets close I just parry with the devils claw
You just gotya talk enough to get the red name
But I think I will try maniac on my inflas though
I figured a lot of servers do that
My one shot on ragers is unreliable
Hopefully this one isn't excruciatingly long
Rescue downed people, do objectives, escape sticky situations, pop a dangerous specialist at ranged when your swamped in melee
Its like because most ilas builds are running like HH and Ghost
Cool thanks
Can you try it in #darktide-pics-vids
Darn
You can't post until you posted enough message to automatically get the red name
Naturally a precaution against raids
I liked to use infiltrate to run straight to groups of enemy shooters and start swinging
I know

It suppresses them so they won't fight for a moment then try to melee
Majority of the servers I'm in have the same security measure
Anyway Voice of Command is goated I hope everyone agrees
Voc is for people you cant melee
Nobody uses anything else
Veteran ngl, best and easiest class to play
I don't think anyone is arguing
I noticed
That or people don't use the wall hacks one
I like exy stance to shoot people but I have played vet more or less the same way since the game came out
You don't 
I've tried all the different styles though
Is the best class at an overall average
Basically perfect jack of all trades etc
The actual best class in the game is psyker cause a good psyker can straight up shut down a server
psyker outkills everyone because they have a meter that blows themselves up so they get a massive boost to compensate
Ogryn is like
Unkillable if you aren't stupid
If you play right you cannot lose exy stance
That’s incredibly situational to be fair but if a horde spawns
Absolutely yes
Yeah you're right
Ogryn is insanely unkillable
When there's 4 shooters ogryn loses 200 HP if there's nobody to punch
Dude every time I'm not playing veteran it feels like nobody is dealing with mobs of shooters and it drives me crazy
I either use rumbler or ripper gun
Rumbler maybe staggers a couple then they keep shooting
The ripper has zero suppression
Using rocks on shooters is justified if they’re pissing you off that much
That’s my take
I've only used infiltrate to low toss grenade without losing steaith
Infiltrate can be awesome used well
But most of the time you also have voc vet and book zealot
Is braced autogun/regular autogun worth using in havoc and if yes how?
So far, I can't justify using my favorite autogun in it
But braced auto has good suppression i suppose
The main issue is ammo
Not really tbh
I dont think autogun are cutting it for high havoc
I think it's pretty sad that weapons just become unusable in havoc
They also look cool
I've stopped playing it because weapons I like aren't helpful
I cannot make them work
My havoc build is just plasma, psword
Aw shit
Agri IX is objectively better than the III
Wanted to try something new cause plasma started to feel funky
The Vigilants gimmick
I know
Click on head or suffer
I wanna try bolter but i fear for my ammo eco
yeah
Recon Lasgun+Stance+headshot=kill everything that has two legs
Even then hitting a 3 round burst on a maniac with 2 shots landing on the head won't kill
This isn't a rager this is like
Flamer
In havoc?
I bet bolter vet is pretty good for havoc
In h40
Incredibly risky but possible
Bolter is a nice alternative to plasma
You just need a REALLY good melee and shredder spam
Mainly cause your Bolter will nuke bosses
Bolter and plasma are pretty similar ammo economy no?
In my opinion I'd use the pistol over the gun
Stop using bolter to kill boss ffs
Could I ask why
Boss damage is such a meme
I don't just want to know
Just use melee
One: shooting boss in h40 is a waste of precious ammo
And Krak Grenade
Two: ps and kraks are better at it
And the Stun Rod
Three: ads bolter
keep saying this mid mixed horde with beast of nurgle at 2/3 rds hp
Stun Rod best melee weapon
Counter argument abusing Surv near your team to stock u ammo
Now obviously don’t go wasting ammo a shit ton
But you can be a little bit generous
So take bolter, PS and kraks?
If you have a bolter and power sword why not have frags

Kraks will only do one thing for you at this point and it's deal with bulwarks immediately
If you’re looking to be ammo efficient as humanely possible run Recon
clears throat in helbore
In this way why not inflas or
Yeah helbore
I prefer infantry lasguns for more ammo efficiency
Which in turn you usually get refunded 1/2 bullets so you’re usually in a net neutral
Usually
Recon Lasgun for maximum accuracy and damage
accuracy?
Cuz ilas has a shit non-ads
I want to like the helbore but the time to draw it out is rough
But you take exy stance
Gun with essentially zero recoil can hit anything if your eyes are good enough
That and it’s suppressed accuracy and aim is a bit difficult to control
Without Determined
Isn't it weird that suppression really only affects the guns nobody wants to use anyway
everyone is taking either plasma or revolver or bolter
lots of people want to use ilas, its iconic. they just stop bothering after that novelty wears off and move on to meta stuff
it's weirder that they even have suppression now that gunners instantly kill you. It's basically a completely meaningless mechanic now
havoc is not the premiere mode
nah i just shoot through suppression
Sometimes you actually hear the voice lines of your characters being suppressed
It surprises me
I mean doing this suppresses them back
“I’m karking pinned!”
Both suppression
Enemy and Your Own
Are incredibly meaningful
It just gets glossed over
Shredder autopistol is actually really good for specifically suppression and maniac
A bunch of enemies are immune to suppression though
Good primary?
reapers, shooters, gunners, groaners can all be suppressed and are like 1/3rd of enemy forces
Shotgunners are miserable without ghost though
Knife, power sword, Rashad Combat Axe, dueling sword
Gun bubba
Yeah I mean it’s helpful to some degree to suppress a fraction of the enemies on the screen
But the ultimate suppression remains
Death
this guy runs at the firing reaper and says reapers are stupid
pop out of cover for the .3 seconds it takes to try to suppress the gunline and get instantly deleted, great plan
