So ok at everything?
It’s very mediocre
Invite me whenever I’m leveling up this shovel so I never need to touch it again
Satisfying is a better way to say it
Remind me rq
Pinning fire/cavalcade for bolter? Which perks again, carapace armor damage boost?
flak + maniac
pinning fire
puncture
for veteran boltgun
it's mid at everything
also they stealth nerfed Lightning reflexes
which removed it's anti rager niche
for zealot boltgun,
carapace + maniac/unyielding cavalcade/shattering impact
puncture
so now, it's only real niche is opening bulwarks, something vet doesn't struggle with
also, does anyone remember when lightning reflexes came out and it had 3 different names
Entropic, Perfect Timing, and now it's settled on Lightning Reflexes
is it acceptable to run a macro just to consecrate and sacrifice a crap ton of weapons
I think there's a mod for that
just do it by hand it's like maybe 30 weapons to sacrifice
lightning reflexes?
damn
for the restore 7500 toughness with shout penance it only applies to missing blue toughness right
gold toughness doesnt count
sweet, thanks. I unlocked it and while its not meta its fun af to just obliterate a crusher
point at beeg enemy then erase them from existence
stun enemies and gain power for 3 seconds afterwards (not stacking buff) on perfect block
but they gave it a cooldown
it used to be you could perfect block multiple times in that short time frame, and drop and reset your guard to trigger perfect block again
making it extremely effective vs rager packs
boltgun is definitely in the top5 of veteran's best guns
its main drawback is requiring a build very dedicated to making it work as best it can
Slow fuckign reload😂😂😂😂
so ur melee choices are a bit more limited
I run heavy sword + boltgun
it's alr with tac reload
Whats that again
The reload speed with a bullet left?
+25% non-empty reload speed
it's 1 point grab if u take o4b start
Id take it but no points left to go the left side
U gotta have an insane amount of trust in ur teamates to use that jn havcos tho
im running rashad axe and boltgun rn
They gotta protect u like a vip
It’s not for havoc
rashad has brutal momentum
Those are 2 weapons that want big investment
Combat axe III
Ah
I wpuld run exec stance but gotta trust a lot in teamates cuz i run hellbore with it
Wish vet had better toughness regen
Right. My rashad's set with brutal momentum rn and a strength boosting perk I forgot the name of, boltgun im working on
i run exec stance but the aoe rez is very tempting
I meant that as in, you normally don’t get to run both of them in optimal state in a single build
how often do you think it'll make a difference when shouting normally and reviving them when everything is staggered wouldn't
Don’t take that talent
Whats aoe rez
Shout res?
yeah
Its so funny whenevet someone uses it
resist
gold toughness can help prevent ppl from dying, aoe rez is just spending a talent point to compensate for someone else's mistake
added bonus if they die instantly cause they don't know they're getting revived
i need an option to throw people off the map when they try to stay during extraction and pad their stats
Vote to kick them
this requires the rest of the lobby to agree
They might if someone is being a moron
and they sure as hell wont if more than 1 person is doing it
Anyone know as to why some levels I have 3 columns of health and other levels I have 2?
Top 5 (base game)
Revolver
Vraks 5 infantry autogun
Recon lasgun
Plasma
Boltgun
Lower difficulties = more wounds
Wounds = how many times you can go down before dying
Typo
once you hit heresy and above you lose 1 wound
is the vraks any good with marksmans focus or is it better keystoneless/target priority
Why does everyone say the braced autogun is s tier
onslaught obv to kil crushers
It’s the worst gun ive ever used
Works with all 3 keystones
High finesse scaling
High DPS
What does that mean?
Others in the same match have several columns of health
There’s wound curios
Isn’t heresy a level of difficulty?
In heresy, damnation, auric and havoc,
Human classes have 2 wounds (can down 1 time before dying the next time)
Ogryn gets 3 wounds
In difficulties below those, you have more wounds by default
Woumd curios
They have curios that give extra wounds
once you hit difficulty 4 and above you lose one column of hp, one column is called a wound and you lose one everytime you go down or when enemies manage to do enough corruption damage and if you go down with less than one wound you straight up die and will need to be rescued when you respawn
ogyrns get one extra wound by default and you can have curios that increase your wounds (dont take them unless you are playing a specific zealot class)
To be more precise, taking extra wound is viewed as a sign of "noobness" by most player. Zealot being an exception but... barely 
zealot being an exception if they're running martyrdom
extra wounds do literally nothing but let you go down more often assuming your team can pick you up
if you go down and no one gets you up it doesnt matter if you have 2 or 200 wounds
so just get something like 2 toughness 1 hp and focus on not going down
ranged crit on vraks 5 in the guide? @tall torrent
Bring stam always
Cant go wround with one stam curio
yea
it's a high crit scaling gun
Appreciate the explanation. I haven’t been able to find much on the health system anywhere
fair
1 stam, 1 hp, 1 toughness. Gud.
Braced Autoguns are for when you want to RP a gangster with a Thompson
Infantry Autogun is for remembering the Modern Warfare days
out of curiosity does kantrael 7 hold up endgame or nah
Whats that
Yes
fatshark hates explaining stuff if anything confuses you ask here
theres also a very indepth guide in the pins go give that a read
preferably on pc and not on mobile
it's a sidegrade to the usually better IIb
you get more damage and can one shot gunners, but lose out on some ammo and handling
How far do I need to throw a frag to blow it up witho it bouncing
bout right there
not straight up
Almost straight up
Depends on the map but sorta
if they're visible at the very bottom of your screen, aim a bit up and that's the right angle
Got it
Long bomb?
explodes just above the heads of most enemies to avoid bonking off their noggins
So find 20m group, align their head with the bottom of my screen, and tap throw
yeah
That’s rough
Go to chasm logistratum ar the end event
If horde is going through wnreance door throw nade there
Or anywhere for that matter should proc
When standing near extract
also if you are standing on a box or something of similar height
underhand throw straight up while jumping off of it also work
Got it
I did it by accident
not really, bulk of shredder damage is in bleed and they have a massive 12 meter radius
Even take bistol with lethat proximity for better radous
Right click
Blows up faster as well
Can you get it to blow up before it bounces without any of that jumping off a box stuff
There's a spot in the torrent where you wait for an elevator and a horde comes running across a bridge, just chuck it in their general direction aiming about like 45 degrees up
Last bit of mercantile also works depending on density
I knew I shouldn’t have slept through geometry class
Train works, but luck based. You drop down and aim the enemies above and ahead of you, should be far enough if you aim up. Hope nobody aggros and launch boomie. If you roll 5+ enemies up there, heh.
I did not know vraks 5 infantry autogun could one shot headshot gunners with MF+Exe stance
that is insane for a gun that has so much ammo and such a fast fire rate
What do you guys think about volley adept on bolter? Tried it a bit yesterday and it makes the gun feel much smoother but it really bothers me I gotta invest 2 skill points for it
Its preeetty good
You feel miserable without it
dont listen to maff. all he plays is plasma and ps
I have like, 6 build variant of that setup
Bolter is still my favorite gun
Just use tactical reload on top right
I actually have been using tactical reload+volley adapt yesterday lmao
U only need 1 between them
Hmh ok, thank you
And tac reload’s pathing is better
Swap weapon and use grenade 25% faster
Vs
Longshot
True, taking longshot really hurts my eyes everytime I look at my talent tree
Meh. Tac is a far cry from prepared but ppl like ofb much more than i do
longshot is so bad I wish exhilarating takedown was anywhere else but under it
Exhilarating takedown is still the weakest toughness gain talent for veteran
CK and O4B both are so much better
No take exhi though. The 2 point tax on prepared is real
What’s “prepared”
Always prepared ?
That’s bottom right tree
Yeah
Wait, confusion
I like it :(
hey bro what was the stat layout for perfect plasma
i tried to find it in chat but couldnt
80 damage
80 stopping power
80 ammo
68-69 thermal resist
71-72 charge rate
sweet sweet sweet im gonna write that down in case I forget
thank you
oh hey what axe do you guys use mark wise and perks?
Tac axe VII or IV 
I saw you guys talking about the combat axe in comparison to dueling sword and I wanna try it out Im sick of playing with DS
I never ever used it fr
realistically use any mark
flak plus maniac brutal momentum slaughterer
brutal momentum is goated
Imo unarmoured cara
yeah yeah dont be dick head
Unarmoured for scab bruiser bp if we talking the rashad
i guess i gotta try the devil claw thing too now
Its good, hit uh a rashad (mk5?)
Brutal momentum, headtaker
Unarmoured, cara
Dump mobi
i may have unarmored flak actually
for high level havocs what else ?
havoc youre talking
Flak is okie, i do prefer cara cause iirc it does reduce the crusher bp
then forget i said anything
Recon las
Helbore
ive basically used plasma and boltgun like my entire time playing veteran because I love them, I recently started using recon las and that thing is super super fun but im worried itll be hard to keep ammo supplied plus in pubs you already have the issue of zealots mag dumping the boltgun then picking up all available ammo
my firend hates the hell out of that thing I need to try it hahaha
If you just run surv with shocktrooper you'll be okie
Hit up infernus and dum dum, with a crit chance perk
idk man in havocs past 25 ammo gets so scarce plasma gun is super efficient and if you have even one zealot usiing his gun a lot ammo starts to get kinda rare
Well really you'll only be using the recon when ya need to
With shocktrooper you'll have ammo conservation cia crits anywhoo
on 30 havocs I had 3 games where r314rd zealots literally ran me entirely out of ammo
And deadshot gives you hella crit% when ADS 
ill have to give it a shot on havoc I have a psyker recon lasgun build that is awesome but I think it might not be surviveable enough for havoc
That's why you run helbore + surgical blessing with shock trooper and remove yourself from the ammo economy
im guessing surgical gives back ammo on headshot or something ?
Definetly skip deadshot on recom imo 
A zealot with flamer that gets all the ammo is a happy zealot. And a happy vet
Rapidly stacking crit chance while aiming, up to guaranteed crit
No it gives you a crit when you aim down long enough
Who needs stamina anyway right
Shocktrooper saves a shot on a crit
I smell clown recon build incoming
I delete bosses and armored units, couldnt ask for much else
Everything dies when i have ammo lol
Plus i like the utility
ohhhhh yeah now I remember I played around with that on boltgun some
I guess Im gonna start with combat axe then do tac
I was joking btw, tac axe is terrible on vet. Don't use it unless you have a weird affinity for it like me
I use the armor piercing axe on my psyker
Look, the build I showed was a joke.
My actual recon idiocy isn't that lvl of dumb.
Shhhh
i used tac axe on vet to great success
Yeah so did I but it's not a good weapon objectively
yeah
I have thy question what are the best blessings for plasma roughly
For like high havoc missions ^ and high level play throughs I guess I might add
the one that gives strength as your heat goes up. And then whatever you prefer. i like toughness on elite kill for the born leader(aoe toughness replenish based on your replenishment) synergy
Oh nice I’ll try that
What should I build on the infantry autogun? Currently using the agripinaa but going to try the last unlock when I get to it in the mastery path
Gets Hot! + Rising Heat /Gloryhunter / Focused Cooling
OR
Blaze Away + Optimised Cooling

did what
Havoc 40 i assume?
0 damage taken havoc 40 run
really? couldnt notice among all these useless rows of info
Oh
do not worry pre-servitor, the only stat that matters is "ammo picked up"
ALL ammo is my ammo 😎
wtb havoc 40 archivum sycorax to speedrun for ts
Rolling Steel is a good map
the players playing Rolling Steel? Dogshit
my only real issue with rolling steel is that someone is stuck on Auspex duty
It's the one map to take it slow, right?
And yet every other map people try and fail to speedrun.
if by take it slow, you mean its the fastest map you bullrush then yes
It's like, sarcasm.
you joke but some people genuinely play like that
IDK why but many ppl just idle whack instead of move on.
I think that to myself all the time
Any veteran builds that at least mostly ranged? Im going for revolver/dueling sword weapon swap damage, I don't get to shoot a lot
Lasgun builds.
braced autogun, Vraks mk.5, and Recon are good picks
or did you mean post a talent tree?
otherwise, you would have to play too selfish or greedy by grabbing too much ammo if you want to play 80%+ of the time shooting.
With helbore its possie to never switch to your melee
Helbore is one of the higher skill guns
it works though
especially if you have a mod to remove its godawful iron sights
here's an easy to use build that works with stuff like Vraks mk.5 and recon
you have room to adjust and place as desired
keep in mind, a lot of the guns that can shoot a long-time are pretty bad in the new Auric event
Crushers + Bulwarks make them sad
They changed that
It does itself for like 75% now
And you only have to do the last 25% manually
The only minigame that's better on controller lul.
Recon should have shock trooper
As a required node
Alternatively, play psyker
Or scratch that
Brauto time
700+ bullets just because
One time I forgot to use it on my build, and man, the difference is night and day
that's why there's only 26 points
so you can adjust between Vraks mk.5 and recon
Yee just giving a statement of a required point if using th recon
I still play Auric with braindead zealots that rush ahead and aggro the entire map
bro really has the Havoc title yet still doesn't know how to play
smh
wait until you find out how I did my havoc 40
Ult spam panic?
Nah running through and aggroeing everything
Thank you! AS for guns, I like something more precise but not as slow as that laser gun with charged hits. Really liked bolt gun as well
I play in party and we have two psykers, so should be okay-ish
man finally
i smell stealth zealots.
I am an actual veteran
Ah. Then sure. It's more with randos or pugs.
Amd stealth vets
Braced autogun? I love it too
(I was a stealth vet)

In won runs, I don't die or go down usually.
gamer'd
Honestly when I play successfully I uh... die a lot
Is everyone else, usually.
Think its a good luck charm or something
Congrats!
I've had great runs where a psyker got downed like 3 minutes in then everyone played perfect for the rest and it's so annoying
Is funnier if they hed exploded.
Psyker first game of the day
Prob muscle memory kicking into gear after his death
I don't even remember what it was but alas no true survivor yet
I've gotten it doing havoc casually with pubs so it shouldn't be too hard imo

Are u trying to get it or no?
In due time. I'm already 5500 so I don't really care
I see
Though I'd wish True survivor was more challenging imo
It's probably hard to add challenging penanaces since it would still be easy for pre-made teams but very hard for pubers
Nah man
The servers already make it challenging enough
fellas
A single second-long stutter while picking off four dreg bruisers and bam, run over
Pretty standard havoc stuff there
Saw a similar build, was so confused
Waaait a minute that's not benediction
Yup
I guess they wanted twbs?
I know doesn't mean they know how lmfao
I think there is some gameslantern guide somewhere
Because Ive seen that combo a couple of times now
And it cant be a coincidence
WAKE ME UP INSIDE
what on holy terra
[shitpost meming]
My reaction to the new Ogryn condition.
original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9klzZsVw-cQ
So, we can see red heavies on their way to kill and then eat their new victim
Im now working on my animation about Metro 2033, but it's currently being stopped for a while. I hope i will finish it in month or so
thanx for watching
Luckily, your three other teammates will be bolter/duelling sword/pickaxe
And plasma of course
FLAMER.

Isn't that Mister E's 'game breaking ' Shroudfield build?
The idea is that because Loner allows Toughness regen to work, it makes the Toughness regen talents work better while under Shroudfield despite being surrounded by enemies
thats a book right there
interesting theory based on nothing
It does...something
people have funny ideas about what loner allows
Dont watch mr. E so havent seen it
in reality it only does exactly what it says and changes no other rules
Loner gives Toughness regen as if you are in coherency 2
Shroudfield breaks aggro which makes the system think you are not surrounded by enemies
Good point, my mistake
Don't watch zealot build so havent noticed it
Zealot chat is on slowmode now
people still coping over loner aura being shit and nothing else lol
I hate the 20 minutes of no connection tunnel 
Will the message post ? Will it not ? Will the conversation still be relevant ?
That is a certified lmao moment
Yeah someone dropped a slur as the last straw
I love Zealot chat
Guess we'll continue to get refugees in the foreesable future
where will we off-topic now? UwU
In general
You forgot all gifs and images are banned in there now also lmao
Yup
🤷
Psyker
Already said that
Mods said if the degeneracy moves there then the mass cleansing commences
LMAO
Exterminatus 
finally true 40k moves
What the fuck did I miss bro, I’ve been working all day and just have seen only snippets
Henrietta is already gone
Miss. I hope you become soil in Ukraine
And so is there alt
Yeah I got sent what she said which was super fucking unhinged
That was their alt btw
She got banned for saying some stuff to frog (implying mental disabilities)
Smth smth whats happen in zealot chat stay in zealot chat ?
Yeah
Look I’m just hoping the tumbleweeds remain in here cause I prefer vet chat having spurts of activity and remaining dead every so often
Yup
i mostly just dont concern myself with what happens in a middle school cafeteria
But how will you partake in a food fight then
with a potato cannon
I like your style
i only miss one person who was banned and that's Darcy
and i wont pretend the ban wasn't deserved lmao
Toxicity or something like that
witch hunting
Ah
General unwilingness to listen to mod request to not be annoying is what i understood
darcy was a living meme
Like stan
but they were stirring up a war path 'ironically' about ogryn mains getting veterans nerfed or some shit
Oof
and tbh i believe Darcy really was joking but still
cause Darcy was Darcy
i never saw her be serious about a single damn thing
I still feel mod are very, very patient on this discord
they are
Wonder if the dude who fell for the honeypot scheme got banned (nope)
What do you expect from a game that attracts chuds and people who usually troll, patience has to sky rocket dramatically or else you’ll be banning nearly everyone LMAO
me, personally? i would never troll
I'd just ban everyone
Vet channel is pretty chill nowadays
it's very easy to do
Same, I would never
Well it’s like 5% veteran mains who actually tell people how to fix there build 20% just existing and rest is either actual barren landscape or clueless new players
Yup
Can guess why no slowmode then 
Never
Wrong chat
Also, today is tuesday
This ain't Zealot chat
I’m stealing this
Nein. Best i can do i shake my head in disapproval
be my guest
Mao please save me chairman mao
Oh well. Slow will be lifted eventually and nature will heal
Yup
Okay okay if it isn’t that ALSO would be pretty fucking funny
And ill get back to sipping my beer on my wheelchair without listening the noise from the neighboring zealotry
Or we get invaded 
Hold your ground men
LMAO
I'll bore themselves to death
double barrel shotgun
yup
Mhm, a double whammy I could probably give a TLDR if you’re out of the loop in DMs
Why double barrel
Double shot for faster ammo consumption?
Low ammo, high spread
Got it
Ammo consuption, ease of hitting the enemy
Yeah just need one pellet to hit
So as long as a single pellet hits it counts as 100% accuracy yea
Kinda hard to miss that way
And I don’t need to kill
3 go toos for it are Revolver, Combat Shotty, and DB
And dont shoot at bulwark shield
Why revolver
Low ammo
Stupid hitbox
Let’s see
Basically drain your ammo to 0 and just permanently run melee
That’s how I did it
Alright thanks
On the topic of melee how’s power sword
Is it just like a one handed relic blade
It wishes but it’s very strong for its simplicity
You lack movement
However you literally just activate sword and delete everything in front of you
Dodge on ps is more like a sidestep
Plasma
Because hits on bulwark shields count as hits
Can the moveset be compared to another melee
Plasma works also but I’d rather immediately have extremely low ammo for that
Just charge shot hordes ez
I kid you not it’s literally
Plasma is LOOONNGGG to dump
Ah ok I’ll just look up the vet guide when I get on pc
Not with charged shots
Heat
Does it delete hordes better than caxe or only when powered on
Special Light Spam (Mk6)
Special Heavy Spam (Mk3)
Also delay per shot
Rashad vs ps ?
Ps is great, but doesnt help when cornered and in the shit
Ps power, light light light kills everything
So it has more damage in general but is slow as balls
That PS doesn’t
On damn
Rashad tend to be faster on non meaty horde
4 shots crushers with lights in h40
Not swing wise but moving and dodging yes
Has insanely quick swings so your defense is more
Kill it before it hits you
Ps6 boss dmg is very hard to beat though
I like the sound of damage
I’m still using Lac/FT + Uncanny knife I can’t pass up on being mobile
I’m sure I can make up for lack of movement with shout spam
Oh absolutely with PS
Also if a poxwalker touches you
I just do NOT like playing like that
You lose your powered on state
I like being incredibly aggressive and fast as Veteran
So I’m usually running knife and a decent Elite killer gun
Agri 9 VA my beloved
You need to push block, sidestep dodge a lot
So even though ps shits out damage I need to play more defensively because getting hit sucks a lot?
Yes
Ehh
Don’t rush in seeing it’s more risky
Your defense is your staggee too
Let them come to you
Ps stagger is stupid
Whats the stagger move
Light
Or is it just any attack while powered on
Light
you certainly need the space it creates tho
Got it
Swinging in powered
Staggers attacking crushers and ragers?
Rager yes. Crusher is unreliable but you kill them instead
And when it’s not powered it’s just a watered down heavy sword?
Pretty much. More like dclaw
An INCREDIBLY watered down Dclaw
I wish unpowered had a purpose
How hard is it to keep up charge
It really doesn’t
Its a rythm
Wdym
Slightly annoying but it's not hard
Seeing there’s a blessing that gives you more powered swings
Charge, hit hit hit. Charge, hit hit hit
You do that
You just stop pushing when you need to charge
Power Cycler
Dodge charge, push charge
Should I use charge for single target or mixed horde if I could only choose one
Or are you telling me that I can cycle charge and just keep it up for both
Always charge. Cant go wrong
Heavy ?
Never.
Wdym never heavt
Heavy on ps6 is like charged on plasma
That’s the only time you use it
Mk6 you literally only Push attack and light spam
Mk3 is heavy spam
Ironically enough their blessings are slightly different based on mark
And I say slightly
Mk6 push attack is one of the best in the game
Mk6 is still sundee ot bm 
Idk Sunder has less value seeing it’s heavy obviously
The heavy bonus did not exist before
havoc 40
doing this
But on Mk3 it has bigger value blah blah blah
pubs are so funny
Sunder value is the min cleave treshold, carapace cleave and stagger reliability
The heavy is just a bonus added for blessing rework
And it’s very juicy for Mk3 seeing it’s heavy focused
Pa for single target and light spam for hordes or literally pa light spam eveyrthing?
Yeah but mk3 is still the less played one
Pa for boss, ogryn, mutie, and whenever you want
PA for single
Got it
And light spam hordes
But I mean it’s the PS
You can get away with a PA light mix
For single
That’s crazy
Push attack weakness is lower stagger and you sometimes forget you have to manage stam
However poking a crusher in the head whilst powered and watching them nearly instantly die or instantly die
Is pretty fucking funny
ps6 can reliably 3 hit a crusher without any real investment
4 moreso on 40
Still think it’s fucking hilarious how vet makes the most use out of the Vigilant Auto rifles
The 6 vet that use it
I’m one of them
That makes 5
I still dont know how to make it usable tbh
Path found some interesting BPs with Elite + Maniac in regards to the rifles
Find my self consistently two burst maybe 3 on bad days ragers
Do people even use helbore lasguns?
Yes
That or 1 bursting trappers and flamers
My problem with vigilant is imo bolter exists on same space
If it onetapped ragers I would use it
So it let’s me sharpshoot whilst being incredibly aggressive
Yeah
It's pretty much the best ranged weapon
Behind the WORST draw time

Bolter has better suppression, cover pen, target pen, less hs reliant
bolter is full auto
That draw time is literally the biggest gate of passage
We are talking vigilant space here
In-lore helbores can be full auto too but balance requires no switch 
aye
Well yeah keep in mind this gun is the ballistic equivalent to the Plasma hence I avoid comparing Bolter Plasma and Revolver to any other weapon
They’re literally the S tier guns
I am comparing to vigilant cuz as i said: similar space on sniper gun gamestyle
Yeah I can see that but I view it differently seeing I’ve used them for so long
The actual completely valid one to compare is Graia 7
That’s an actual sniper
Oh, we were talking about the burst one ?
Agri 9 and Vraks 3 I feel like are more Battle Rifles that encourage aggression but precision
Also yea
Really? I really hate slow fire rate and need to charge
I am the only unironic Agri 9 (2 round burst) main
Bolter gun or the pistol?
Like it’s sight profile being normal it literally screamed
Gun
Althought tbf they have same dmg profile
Blessing ignored
Gun has more utility imo cause you can b u r s t 
Working on an updated version of perk & talent choices in steam guide
Really helps with horde clear and you can kill 2 crushers in 1 mag that way iirc
A full on breakpoint table vs most enemies
Waitin
Yes
The mk4 is the slowest at charging but has the highest damage per shot in the game, while also having boss, special and elite killing prowess
I see
Im still debating what weapon I should invest in
Very early WIP
After I get this sorted I need to update like every breakpoint gun to this
The mk3 is a middle ground and the mk5 is the fastest charging one
Stagger BP table lmao
I don't like how long it takes to reload revolver, I like bolt pistol for cleave and pen and huge damage.
I prefer something I can aim with to do headshots but also something not as slow as helbore
Braced autogun is fun
Fucking pain trying to keep track of all of it during the VA testing
Infantry guns too
Never tried boltgun or plasma
Looks noice so far, keep cooking
However this kill breakpoint table
Is a big upgrade
Over telling u what talents and perks are good
IMO
I will tell u exactly which ones are for which breakpoints

Plasma gun has the illusion of choice

Many build options
Ultimately it comes back to unarmored + flak
Rising heat + gets hot
Shredder AP not that bad...
I also need to update like every table in steam guide
cuz steam fucked them over and made every letter bold
Even when I didn’t select them to be bold
Is there a link to the Steam Guide
Not yet iirc
Wait 5 months
But soon
Earliest is maybe
FS’s next major update in March/April
Which I’ll probably need to update guide for anyway
No rush brodie, i want this good enough to be displayed in Harvard's Bookcases
Shit you’re right
Wait
Fuck
We’re going to have to test the supposed new toy we’re getting also
And I'm kicking my feet up in the air like a little girl
What are we getting
(If it happens)
When*
But recall they said vet was going to get weapons during 2025
yes thats right
Yea
Really?
So could be fucking anything
Idk which
but they stated Vets will be getting something this year
Very sad
Powerfist and Longlas are my bets
I hope it's melta
Ooo powerfist would be awesome
Melta might be later in the year
powerfist my beloved
Might lock you into a pistol only though
They should unnerf survivalist
Makes hunting grounds way less fun
I don’t think they should

surv is good where it is
Imagine how integral vets would be in havoc 40, if survivalist wasnt nerfed
Pretty sure vet would’ve been a staple with Glugger cause the Glugger just has to camp the vet to have infinite ammo
Literally shut down bosses in 2 seconds
do character height increase my hit box?
Yeah
ok so best way is go minimum height
It has its benefits and drawbacks
good luck picking off specialists in the back if youre short
ohhhh
Taller people can peek over stuff/hordes to snipe better
Max height veteran
I'm short king vet
as a vet, height matters more
if am using the brrrrrrt lasgun it's good to get height?
Very tall people can even hit bulwarks over the shield when jumping
Fuck being a Manlet I’m going to snipe that sniper
It depends
I mean do you want to shoot the trapper behind the 50 poxwalkers or do you intend to shoot down the poxwalkers first and pray the trapper doesn’t come
i usually go for specialist i got my shovel for hordes
ok yeah makes sense
I mean i will say
If you're max height some cover won't work for you if you're crouching behind
but you can hit their head without jumping
That’s true
When they are shielded up facing you
oh ohh
Not when they are attacking
Or looking somewhere else
I mean literally tiptoeing and smacking them over the shield
I think i will go like 70% height
I think you can change in the barber shop whenever you feel like it so give it all a shot
yeah thas what I'm doing
Aight have fun
I have started subconsciously finding the crates and barrels you can stand on for exactly this reason.
All my characters are Min-Height because I was trying to aim down firing lines with Ogryns in them during the Pre-Release and decided I could never do that to a fellow human being.
God you're so short
Doesn’t matter unless you’re crouching behind knee level cover
Max height is the way
Oh I made mine max height for the exact opposite reason lmao
mine is max height now
Max height is the way
I don’t need to worry about cover when my team and the surrounding walls are my cover
I just cooked this one, did I go too far or am I onto something?

Ranged is getting annoying and I don't want to depend on bubble
What's with the knife
Speed mostly, I was thinking of going 80 mobility
Stam on dodge instead of reci, exploit weakness are the "weird" choice
To close gap, then light them up with las, Idk how many meters is "close"
Probably wanted to get the melee talents yeah
Cant comment too much on setup i dont play. Most recon user here are keystoneless
I dont like those keystoneless behaviour
Bit of an odd build tbh
I'm a Weapons specialist enjoyer
I want to close gap asap on ranged
Kill them and go next ranged
If theyre on a tough spot I kill them with the las
I keep coming back to it because Marksman's Focus is just a bit too finnicky, and because I wish the +Toughness +Damage nodes for Focus Target had the littlest bit more to offer.
I could go unarmored on the gun too for hordes
Still wish I could get the Brittleness Spray (onslaught) way further up the tree so I didn't need to go through a punishingly expensive trail to grab it.
To be fair Marksmen Focus is the weakest of the 3 keystones yet I somehow make it work with an aggressive build
So it’s not complete and utter shit
But it’s like playable
But it locks you on a ranged only play style
I'd love if I could play more aggressively with it like
Disrupt Destiny.
Mf is a bit too constraining for weapon variety
Maybe it should increase %crit chance ?
Yesn’t its extremely build dependent cause I ran Tunnel Vision + Camo
And it did charms with my VA build and I was focusing melee more
I like it on mf exe bolter but it is not meta at all
Marksman's Focus is exactly why I know everyone who wants a Hotshot Lasgun doesn't actually want a Hotshot Lasgun.
I've ran mf stance bolter, it is pretty good
But you can't use that on high havocs
what do u guys think about the vigilant autogun
You will be melted by ranged gunners
Ppl thinking they want hotshot 
For the longest time I’ve been wanting them to make it reward for Weakspot hits and punish for missing
Do you like hitting heads?
Because they go hard
Unless like
I don't even think it needs Melee synergy. The biggest issue with it is that if you do melee at all, there goes all your stacks and you need to rebuild for each shooting gallery, and hope that no Poxwalker Horde/Mauler wave/Pack of Ragers decides to ruin your day.
Two tapping Maulers body
If you can click on heads they’re insane
I literally main the 2 round burst variant
it's just non-las helbore? without the bayo?
I don’t mind that either but if they want to encourage that keep the snowball going
Make melee give stacks but it doesn’t buff your melee
Imagine a whole tree dedicated to full ranged gunplay while dropping a mod without 20% ammo efficiency and nerfing surv by like 500% ?
I like them - or at least want to like 'em more - like the others are saying it's a dedicated headclicker that can't really do horde or bodyshots too reliably, putting it in a worse comprable spot than the basic Kantrael or Infantry Auto which can also pop heads reliably, but also handle hordes/fodder/more mag effeciency.
And inf lasgun are not that good either 
against whonow
Not good or bad
idk i tried it rn and maybe I am just used to the utility of the helbore
They exist
It won't hit carapace as hard
The bash still good stagger against everything but bosses
I barely see people use it tho
Well, what meta ranged weapon is bad against rager ?
about that I find it kinda funny the psyker staff melee can stagger a BON
It’s automatically classified as bad if it struggles against maniac
Vet doesnt have a good "specialized" weapon eh
Not really no cause you’re building your gun or melee around the others weaknesses
I wish we had a real anti-horde ranged
is ammo dump stat for helbore?
Stability
Not as infinite ammo 
wow max damage right off of brunt's
Back in my day hb could kill horde without shooting
Helbore with hotshot is up to 6 cleave
Ooh I know one
Zarona Shotgun 
Shotgun relies on hope and dream to be good
uhm the braced autogun
Try recon lasgun with unarmored infested mf it clears hordes
It's not "good" at it
Stop recommanding coping to me
you're not "good" at it
I can't play the gun I can't aim feels too bad
You wished
I might try it at some point
because it's meant for groups of enemies
Still
Braced auto are not meta atm. Which is a shame.
I think DB is the least memey option for horde clear gun
The lasgun you just keep aim parallel to the hordes heads and swipe away popping heads
But mah Lawbringer 😭
I know how to play brauto, lawbringer and stuff. I just wish it could realistically compete
what are the bestest uhh helbore blesing
Surgical Weight of Fire
