then this, just scratch last line
power sword has some benefit from atk speed
but if ur gonna take atk speed might as well play axe
I think the main advantage of power sword is having a mostly working melee that doesn't need anything in bottom right side
because if u need to invest in bottom right side axe is just better
What’s the benefit of swapping from exploit and trench fighter (I understand this one tbh)
But exploit for rending?
What’s the difference
exploit weakness is only from melee crit hits
which is really mid if u think about it
20% brittleness vs 10% rending (not sure what this is)
anything that actually kills armor is likely to kill them within 2 crits
anything that doesn't kill armor is unlikely to kill them that much faster even when they crit twice
even then 20% brittleness isnt needed at all ds is already insane
still be fine on charged attks
What does rending do exactly
can reliably pushattk light kill crushers
in ur build (power sword + recon)
recon benefits from boosted ADM quite a bit
power sword doesn't
so what's the point of using a melee-crit-only ADM modifier
Yeah it’s a build that focuses mainly on recon from what I understand.
that build is pretty meh
creator clearly doesn't understand how ADMs work
and doesn't fully understand duelling sword's role in veteran's arsenal
So you think going the 25 toughness and rending will fit my build?
With psword and lasgun
it would work better for recon
yes
and u should grab at least one of the +25 toughness nodes
it's free and good
curio +% toughness scale from base toughness
I still drop cqkz for 5% crit chance then?
yea becasue ur going infernus
Kk
5% crit chance scales better than it looks for crit string weapons
recon has crit string of 2
with crit chance perk + talent
ur looking at ~29% crit rate on avg
even though ur stated crit chance is 17%
this goes higher with reciprocity stacks as well
Yeah and the speed of mk12 would work good
So don’t worry about weapons specialist then?
if u want to take trench fighter and weapon specialist
just play axe instead of power sword
Will this work fine in havoc 40?
well, depends on how u play
if ur plan is to shoot everything ever u might need to die a few times to get back ammo

Good mix of both melee and ranged
prob usable?
but for havoc u can prob do better than that
since u don't need a lot of stuff in there
u can drop desperado for power sword in havoc and get grenadier & twinned blast
twinned blast is more value than most people think and scales very well into high spawn games
desperado wouldn't be needed as much since u don't have breakpoints to think about
reciprocity purely for recon
it's kinda awkward for power sword imo
I'll also say that O4B generally seems to scale better into havoc compared to CK
being able to gain toughness from every kill saves u more than having a lot of passive toughess from killing elites & specials
Yeah that’s what I was thinking
havoc is also where born leader and KTHD both scale better than FTE
born leader is like 21 extra toughness from every VoC use
which doesn't sound like a lot
but means a lot to ur zealot/psyker teammates that have like 60~70 toughness total

I main psyker so. Yeah
itll push them right into gold toughness even if they were out
yep
beeeg deal
KTHD on the other hand
recon rapid fire actually gets to suppress gunners
50/50 pick if u go recon
personally I think born leader is more value overall but I also don't play recon much
Would you mind dropping a talent link then? Of what you would suggest to go with psword and recon? No need for weapons or curios. I got those covered
Then I can experiment and tweak between the two to fit my playstyle
last 2 whatever u want
prob rending strikes + superiority complex?
Kk thanks
I want a refund
red nodes are actually not that impactful for recon from my experience
recon kills specialists too slow for red nodes to be up as often
can be nice for power sword tho
the recon still snipes better than the autopistol at least
if u have to take any red node, pick between marksman / CQKZ
from my experience the recon is surprisingly accurate for an automatic weapon
marksman is more direct dmg because strength is different multiplicative bracket
CQKZ is more versatile and applies to ur grenades & bleed as well
I feel like you would look at my veteran builds(that I've customized for my personal playstyle) with horror lol
I just need to not look then 
Good thing I don't share them lol
Generally not a bad pick but I think if u had to make a decision between that and superiority complex, superiority complex wins just by applying to more enemies
Well yeah
BID is not a red node
Idk why gameslantern shows it as red
Ah ok
Red node for veteran is the “activate ability to XXXX” stuff
Well I was thinking of tweaking some stuff but will experiment
If u can get both, it’s fine
My friend just recently started vet
But I will also say
And he’s like a really good gamer
Bosses in havoc kind of aren’t as big of a deal
He was pumping out like 1.5m I believe in havoc 40 with us
It’s the elite spam that wipes teams
The only boss that actually is threatening is sword captain
With Lasgun and psword
BID is only ogryn & monster
huh... something I do right: have superiority complex as a higher value than bring it down as a base rule >.>
Just more so trying out veteran now so I can flex with our friend group if someone wants psyker
For non-havoc they’re about equal
Depends on weapons
If ur weapon needs superiority complex for breakpoint, take that
If not, take BID
I wish superiority complex and fully loaded swapped places
no
i think in terms of the vision for the roles theyre in the right spot
i need an excuse to take fully loaded
wait arent they right next to each other
I'm not sure I would ever take my vet or psyker into havoc if I did play it(I don't play it since I don't find the mode fun)... cuz those are my 2 lesser played classes
Rn u have to take fully loaded to even consider superiority complex
Could I move CQKZ over to BID instead (between 5% crit chance and BID)?
5% crit chance is more value for recon than BID
Especially since u have infernus
But overall with psword?
A little less than BID? But also do u rly need BID
Cuz I’m pretty sure BID doesn’t even push power sword breakpoints in havoc
How much value do I lose on burn recon lasgun if I shoot until they die instead of waiting for burn to finish them off
I honestly don't take my vet or psyker above heresy very often since I don't play them enough, or feel like having to sometimes hard carry damnation with either
It’s nice if I combo grenade with psword cleave (power cycler and sunder), no?
U still need 3 hits from PA combo to kill crusher minimum, unless u crit
Sorta? But grenade is meant more for ragers and maulers tbh
It doesn’t actually do that much vs ogryns
Does “some damage” vs bulwarks
krak or bleed?
Minuscule vs crushers
Default is frag
Been leveling my 12 veteran in damnation and outdpsing level 100+’s in it 💀
ah, frag nades I would not use against ogryn groups tbh
I mean for damaging them
But crushers need specific tools to kill
Standard curio set is 2 toughness 1 stam with toughness stam regen and 2gunner/1sniper res right
For what
I don’t really run enemy res
Havoc?
Just slide
I think health curio is better than stamina most of the time
All right. I’ll swap it to 5% then
kraks, a good power sword, a good shovel, hopes and dreams(removed by devs), bolter, plasma, etc
Meant to use that as a reply lol
U don’t really need stamina outside of knife tbh
Ah it felt like I was constantly running out with caxe
Maybe I’m push attacking too much
That list is half off
The only stamina thing I take for vet is 1 -0.25s stamina regen delay
That just helps with pushing
more than anything
Combat axe has 3 pushes in combat
Which is usually enough
Got it
Why sprint eff instead of stam regen
(Not trolling it actually helps)
Sometimes you end up with low stamina and are dodging constantly so it won't regen, so getting a free push every 0.75s instead of 1s is nice
Or are you saying both at once
Because veteran has the worst stamina regen delay by default
Yep 1.0s
Wallahi
Wait don't ogryns have that as well?
So stamina regen doesn’t activate as often as u think
Yes but ogryn has more stamina and generally use less
Except sprinting
I keep getting block broken a lot lmao
Psyker stamina regen goated
So ogryn has easier time managing stamina
Veteran is the worst stamina management by default
Sprint sliding is the main time I'm using it, yeah
Don’t resort to block as ur first option
Block is a last resort, imo
pushing, dodging, and attacking are the primary ones
push attack staggers ragers?
stripped down on lasgun plus duck and dive to become immune to guns
what weapons
Same as me
I mostly have used the caxe on zealot and just light spam ragers to death while dodging
He’s the one that made me want to try get watching him
GBITF is not as good as catch a breath
Yea that was my plan I probably dodged wrong they would hit my block before I could get the push attack out lol
Which one is that one
Yeah... that regen when you're in a tight spot is clutch
above survivalist
I've never even considered the left talent, between those 2
Can make any shit build work tbh 💀
I’ve seen him take the most weird shit into havoc 40 and outperform anyone
Idk if kill chasing in havoc 40 is the play
Not just kill chasing
Good players can make the autopistol useable(not counting havoc)

just play for win
True
I always play to win a run, myself. <.<
Fair enough
If I didn't give it everything I got what was the point of even queueing for it?
So overall, good build? Just tweak top side to go right path then catch your breath?
overall is fine yea
That mentality is probably what makes me have a clutching talent x.x
power sword is more utility-orientated for havoc cuz of sunder
power sword is great, except when u gotta solo clutch >.>'
I will also say, twinned blast is pretty good
but that depends on how much ur willing to gamble
Last havoc 40 we did. He’s the vet
Gambling? in my damnation/aurics/havocs?! HERESY!
Recon and psword
stop advocating for gambling
twinned blast's tooltip is slightly misleading
call the national gambling helpline
is it more than 20%?
because when u analyze it from probability point of view
isn't 20% still 20%?
it actually looks like this
every time u throw 2 grenades, there's 36% chance for u to get +65.5% dmg which applies to all of that AOE
both ways of thinking about it
True and every time you throw 3 it's the same % chance as you get from damage reduction from 3 gunner resists
because the odds of you not getting that 20% 3 times in a row is 80% of 80% of 80%
i would actually take it at 30% (and have it proc once the entire match)
u rolled the 1.168% chance of it activating once across 24 throws

better luck next time
no next time, i'm taking my talent point back and putting it elsehwere 😠
It would be a 0.0191581231380566414401% chance(I used a calculator lol)
for 0
I mean
across 24 throws
it's funny because veteran's dmg is very chance based in havoc
demo team and twinned blast proc a lot? u do loads of dmg
u rolled RNG bad? too bad buddy
at 20% it's almost a 0.5% chance to not proc in 24 throws (0.4722366482869645213696%)
which... based on how much that 1% crit chance in ror2 happens... could happen over the course of 500 runs
Man, tho, getting that unlucky would suck
Does anybody know if it's sudo rando
Like at least i ror2 you had different proc coefficients depending
And that was 1% per 1000 or more shots
You have like
3 grenades
oh awit
Well and
I'm dumb
I think it is 20% each grenade
Yeeahh you can get pretty unlucky
it's just the odds of it not happening are 80% of 80% of 80% (etc, based on how many times it doesn't proc)
Yeah it just doesn't get betterr
the 3rd throw has a 51.2% chance of not proccing
the 6th is 26.2144%
of not proccing
in 6 throws
You can get unlucky yeah
For Recon Lasguns, whats the least important stat while others are 80%?
Ty!
generally defences/collateral or mobility(the main time it won't apply is brautos if you want one perfect for every mk since the agripinaa has stopping power in place of collateral)
most other guns with collateral(if not all) you generally dump collateral(unless you want to use 1 less ammo on the boltgun opening bulwark shields)
boltgun for veteran doesn't dump collateral
every other weapon that has collateral can dump collateral
You just can't use that brauto for the agripinaa mk, if you dump collateral on either of the other 2 marks >.>
since collateral changes to stopping power x.x
make 2 braced autoguns, simple
Honestly I am lazy and poor... I'll take a mobility dumped one lol
dbs is flak maniac manstopper scattershot right
yeah i think i run manstopper and DB instead tho
whats db
literally unplayable, but it's a good blessing
im running weapon specialist so i wont need to reload
yeah i run with WS
I mean it's kinda funny
and rely on WS crits for manstopper
Cause it implies you need a blessed weapon for it to perform it's basic function
so i can run both barrels
but why would you need both barrels when ws reloads it for you
or do you not run that keystone modifier
because everytime the reload procs, it only reloads one shell, which is annoying
and sometimes you need to chunk multiple elites in a row
I play ogryn one time and my team is completely incompetent at any kind of specialist killing
i can't use a ripper gun
and shield ogryn went down to a single crusher and complained and left
auric maelstrom is hard
This tends to having to hard carry or everyone dying once the elite packs come.
Auric maelstrom moment
was just playing with a fellow ogryn wielding a karsolas pickaxe while i was using the original ogryn shovel and it occured to me that the karsolas is the direct upgrade of the shovel
theres not much of a downside
thoughts on "only in death does duty end"
not worth using
Shhhh, you might anger some weird vets
can i get some extra thoughts aside from "no" 
Reduces range and recharge time
u can revive people almost as good just by pressing VoC to stagger enemies near downed teammates
it's not worth reducing the stagger range
it's definitely not worth the CD increase
and the revive effect is only within the now-reduced stagger range of 6m
Or is that the shout res
revives people on screaming
this a thing?
that's a different talent (also not worth using)
It's just vet with a medicbag 
A Tech-Priest that changes your body parts in mid battle
If you get enough wounds you get promoted to a servitor
But you could also become Iron Hand Straken
Gambling to become another class
Space Marine gets added
It's an Apothecary but with zero weapons
usually i take like 150-200% ammo
which is like nothing
zealots routinely take more
Does Lethal Promixity also make my smoke grenades bigger?
It would be so fucking peak if it did…
Karmak twins spawn
There are no rejects, literally just smoke
Suddenly 4 veterans each with a bolt pistol and a shiv rush towards them and shank them to death
The medicae servitor finally escaped his wall mounting
ah yes
I think my favorite combo is combat knife and bolt pistol
Mine is mk1 shovel with funny cowboy revolver
Speaking of it, anything you guys would recommend different?
The only point to cowboy revolver is deleting bosses imo so I'd remove the talent points in stamina regen delay and demo team to get bring it down instead.
Then change hand cannon blessing to sustained fire iirc and switch 1 perk to unyielding
But that's just the funny boss deletion build, I never suffered cowboy revolver for anything else
Im gonna give that a shot, thx
Oh yeah, exec stance instead of Voc if you want the bigger boss burst
I would of gone with the knife for maximum cowboy flavour. That, or take one of the axes as a tomahawk.
This decent? been wanting to try out the Infantry Lasgun
Yeah usable
Mobility dump stat i think
Either that or stability
With proper build ammo can gmbe a dump stat
for the perks crit chance is one of the best?
The opinions are divided
You want to dump mobility but this will suffice for now, you get good ammo economy with ilas anyway. Run flak + unarmored for gunner 2tap bps.
Change infernus to deadly accurate btw.
I personally would change infernus for ghost
Or yeah ghost would be good too.
Or deadly accurate
ty!
Either option works.
Also I'm not sure which model that is, but you want to use the green one.
this should suffice
The brown one struggles hard to reach 1tap bps, the blue one struggles a little to hit 2tap bps, but the green one comfortably hits 2tap bps while still being capable of dropping reapers and chaff shooters.
I try to look at Darktide builds and most lasguns use Infernus but idk
Infernus is used on laspistols and recons due to high crit chance and crit strings, respectively.
There are infatry lasguns, recon lasguns, and helbore lasguns
There's not really a point to using it on ilas because everything dies in 1 or 2 shots anyway.
And laspitols
Mk IIb is better
Helbores absolutely do not need infernus because you should 1shot anything that isn't a mauler or ogryn anyway.
Let him experiment
1 shot reapers with hellbore
Hellbore is awesome
U gotta stand there and shoot slowly
Helbore is lots of fun but the combination of a slow-to-switch-to sniper with sights so bad that it‘s hard to aim at very distant enemies is a choice
I got a crosshair mod that adds a little dot for me
I like my mods
I use ir for fun on lower diffs
It if i want to go sharpshooter its bolter with exestance
I like bolter
But whyyy
Healthbars on everything is fun
Feels like Diablo III xD
And seeing ur teammates' health and ammo is pretty helpful (and more entertaining when in need of rescue)
Healthbars on everything is so unnecessary, just elites and specials is good
I disabled healthbars on everything except crushers and snipers
So if I'm understanding the veteran pandits correctly, this is the most optimal plasma gun?
Awesome, thanks
finally decided to pick up the name it mod 
not sure what to name my toughness curios
Fat layer
Ds🤮
mimimimimi
Bonk protection
Don't worry babe i got protection
Your vet name gets me everytime 
whats the best autogun
All of them are good
Experiment and choose the one younlike
You can change marks freely now
whats the main dif between agrip and columnus
Agrip mk 1a hits hardest
Columnus mk8 is the balanced option in infatry autogun family
And vraks mk5 is fastest one
Are we talking infantry or braced ?
Do braced autoguns have columnus in the lineup?
They changed name so its confusing 
Also read what wrote and you should know
Still, they asked for all, so gotta factor in BAG and VAG. Although we know the last group is really meh.
whats bold pistol go to blessings? surgical + deadly?
puncture works like dumdum?
sorry not dumdum
infernal or whatever the las weapons blessings is called
Sort of
Puncture doesn't need a crit to proc
The logic behind Surgical Puncture is that if your crit doesn't kill the target, puncture will
man this is tough
all these blessings outside of the lethal prox - cause i have no idea how the explosion dmg looks like - looks pretty good
OH SHIT
i can swap blessings and refine perks as many times as i want and im not locked to only 2 of either?
Lethal prox is not for the gun, is for your 'nades.
And yes.
You just need dockets.
Puncture+lethal prox
wdym? it procs from my grenades as well?
It makes your 'nades boom in a bigger area. Frags and kraks.
Mini nuke yes, not as much damage but it staggers alot.
To be fair, just drop 3 in emergencies. Everything but the chaos oggys are probs dead by then.
yeah that is true
not worth giving up all of vet's elite+uniyelding perks for extra grenades
and the weapons blessings
Scab ragers
If then, you might be better off with other guns though.
Naw, they have flak for some reason when it comes to bleed.
They will die to 3 'nades.
This was not updated
yeah their base armor is flak
The armors look semi decent
good descripstion lol
Those armors are where commodores?
"We received reinforcements that are used to cold environments, sent them to the insanely hot metal fab"


its also anti-camouflage

i prefer the ones we can get through penances tbh
another commissar hat recolor
icestorm
anyone knows the name of the mod that lets you hold to shoot with laspistols?
oh found it
whe's the red one gonna come back 
How to complete the challenge of suppress 750 enemies using infiltrate?
See horde
Go invisible
Approach horde
Break stealth
and complete 50 havoc Assignments?
Complete 50 havoc assignments
In case the problem is that you don‘t know what havoc is: you can unlock it once you are level 30 by playing a maelstrom mission
thaks
I see, we went back to DoW2.
Shush, you are reminding me of my lack of it. Reeeeeeeeeeee
What blessings/perks should I use for the bolt pistol?
Lethan prox+puncture. I play 'nadier kinda support so.
Yooo bonus
Its just rounding up
Surgical Deadly Accurate
Surgical Puncture
Run and Gun Lethal Proximity (grenadier)
Elite Maniac
Or Elite Unarmored
I don't really remember the perks
Mobility is actually 60.5 and one of the 80s is actually 79.5
Indeed, a far cry from perfect. Roll again 
Terrible.
so close, peeps
Who needs camo when you have plot armor 
Swap blaze away to rising heat 
hot is just negative cold, they'll be aight
XIV? yea
Never understood the hype around it, me like boltgun better 
Change marks.
Zarona still pretty gooood
bolt pistol is just a better version of it im ngl
boltpistol is a slightly worse sidegrade of it
Look at that veteran go 
I will be honest the revolver can be fun with damage for single targets but personally i prefer the bolter and boltpistol more
horde clear revolver when
griffinfoot flashbacks
it's the strongest gun in the game for sniping specialists and elites basically
Depends, on vet... 'nades heheheh.
that's basically the only scenario where it legitimately outperforms revolver
if ur goal is to use it as a quick swap sniping gun and ur not using frags, it's at best a revolver sidegrade that's overall worse
everything it does better than revolver doesn't really matter below havoc
Revolver with always prepared just craazy
Wrong
We do appreciate the honesty though

Anyways, join the Nerf Zarona club
Heard that Morrow killed the Old one eye with a single burst of the Agrivolver
(definitely not a plasma pistol)
So still the number one (outside of havoc)
Zarona, Zarona never changes
I also heard he was the one to assassinate Conrad Curze with just one bullet
Zarona used to be much much much worse to a point it was literally a "Why are you using any weapons aside of this gun"
But then Plasma happened, isn't it?
bugthesda.. bugthesda never changes
another day another fading light wipe because our psyker decided dome is for noobs
psykerS actually
dome is for noobs
95% of players aren't half as good as they think they are
not preparing a build for high havocs is throwing
guess you shouldve brought your own dome
right
spamming VOC, exploding crushers with kraks and kill gunners, but also need to stop bullets with my mind as a vet
god forbid teammates pull their weight
youre bringing kraks to high havocs?
Get karkin' stuck in! all gunfire stops
Is it not recommended?
Im genuinely asking cause im stuck at 20-ish havoc, not even 25 
you generate an astonishing number of grenades with one or both demo talents and the density is insane, so shredders shoot into the moon for value
no, he's being a contrarian
shredders are a lot easier to get value out of in havoc
taking out just a couple big bois is almost meaningless comparatively

throwing 2 of them will deal a lot of damage
and we havent even brought uncanny strike into the picture
and also useful stagger
i completely neglected the demo talents in my current build i think ngl
Some just think they are bottom barrel, so any actual clutches is like what even the dook happened.
What's this uncanny strike tech I keep seeing?
uncanny strike rending applies to dots
Funny since I ended up settling for Kraks because I got annoyed of the extra monstrosities
so throw out shredders, stack uncanny and let the crushers bleed to death
Throw frag, poke things with knoife/dueling, throw frag, poke more.
Oo I didn't know that. I'm gonna use that 
Well, other melees might work, I just know those two have uncanny... other than force sword.
Oh right, shovel is the last one with it, right?
Yeah, the fancy knoife moves and such. It adds so much 'life' to it tbh.
I also like the combat axe. It has some flourish but not too the same extent as the cknife
do yall fw the chainsword
I just feel they could have added more to some other weapons.
Esthetically, chainswords and chainsword adjacent weapons are my favorite in the 40k universe. I'm just not a huge fan of the moveset in darktide
It'd be nice if they went back and added a few animations to the weapons to give them more pizzazz
only in space marine..................
Chainswording a jumping Tyranid mid air is a dopamine hit
Because the animations spice it up.
Dang, need the helmet with goggles. Does anyone know if it's going to be in the vestures rotation soon? Or is it not official?
Soon™
They usually add new cosmetics with the hotfix, then data miners find it
It usually ends up on the shop
So probably in 3 days
In before another slop rotation
Nice, can't wait!
Did they reactivate some maps recently ?
no
booo
Excise isn’t back riot immediately
Is it bad that I don't even remember which one excise is
servitor christmas tree
Right
Skull pillar
How long has it been out of rotation for? Feels like months at least
since crafting update
def not since crafting, a bit later and a bit before havoc
vacuum capsule
power cell
Since release of Havoc
Cause it had issues Didnt it?
I seriously can’t recall the root cause for it being pulled but there was another map
Excise + another one they pulled
I ate it
assassination maps
chasm station and oub
Oh fuck those but they actually came back
yes
Wonder why excise remains… gone
I ate it
Well fucking spit it out
nope
I want to play that map again
It’s coarse
And rough
The 1 of 2 excise fans realizing yet again there is no word on the map returning
all maps sorta blend together for me (i dont pay much attention to anything but the killing i think) but i like that map enough to wish for its return
Shit I’m realizing how empty hourglass is
Literally the relay station now that’s it
Finally found myself another build I like in h40
That being
bolter/axe tag
Rashad?
Honestly not surprised it’s still keeping its momentum in H40
I defaulted to knife cause I’d prefer melting shit with bleed uncanny
The build still feel unrefined imo. I take the rashad because it is the best generalist horde clear outside of ps
ps and bolter together is too cluncky
I should attempt to somehow make the VA havoc viable (it won’t be)
It’s got like one thing going for it coming from experience of using them on a H38
Really good ammo Econ
Like really good
Plus, I basically removed all ammo node.
But that’s about it
This is basically bolter at it slowest reload
FT 8 stacks
I was about to say sin then I realize BP change drastically so it really doesnt matter
As long as it dies as quickly as possible lmao
It is for boss mostly
Juicy 8 stack on a boss and an Unyielding %+ uncanny bleed knife user starts hitting them
It is also a relatively easy to maintain 4.5% teamwide
It is honestly hard to get more out of a single point. You need to consider pathing to get more value
I could grab the reload i guess, with this plus swap speed
but eh
I can handle slow reload
I’m honestly sitting here wondering how the hell I could even make use of the Vigilants and I’m defaulting on like MF shockingly or mainly FT
vigilant on havoc ?
Cause I mean it never hurts to have shredder spam
Absolutely it manages just it’s not the end all be all
Ammo Econ good that’s really about it tragically
I think it'd be a worse bolter
Bolter has a lot of utility beyond killing power
Like 2 shot to suppress a team of reaper 
I might have something in mind to be honest but it’s probably gonna require heavy experimentation
Woe, Cranial upon ye
Actually holy shit I think I might have something
Maybe I should go for OfB. But losing the 33% Thoughness resist feels wrong
G7 VA Ghost Opening
Probably FT seeing MF really just needs help
I’m unsure how good its suppression is
Not taking tag feels wrong
MF has a shit ton of potential it’s just HEAVILY held back by its conditions
MF tunnel you into ranged. And has no team utility
Especially on Havoc where ammo doesn’t exist
Unless you’re a vet
You’re the walking ammo economy
Demo and stock have huge fucking value in havoc also
hellbore probably prefer tag too
Cause a mixed elite spam horde
Cannot do much against the unyielding power of shredder spam
It’s why you can unironically run Bolt pistol LP if you’re literally acting as the horde delete anchor
Grenade tinkerer also
Forgot to mention that
You can skip tinkerer, not regen
Safety net for sudden shooter spawns
That or
There’s not a dome player
Really good substitute
I think frags are just as good for sudden shooter spawn
Oh yeah GT makes Smokes last 30 seconds
Meaning you really only have a downtime of like
30 vs 60 with stockpile lmao
ALso smoke to aura path is terrible
I still prefer frag dmg
I guess I could go smoke dmg for better path to agile but
not really
Oh well. I am just happy to bring my bolter vet to top diff content
I saw it once and we got bodied because he had a combat shotgun and smokes
Like I would literally rather have kraks
Than smokes
I mean, bringing shotgun to havoc is not in my todolist
I would hope not
Unless you're double barrel gaming with weapon specialist
Then I can excuse it slightly
I don't think I ever saw a double barrel
But not anything above H20
Well, when I say havoc i mean h40
Below 20 I'll bring whatever
not really
depends on skill
as always
Yeah, the skill of the 3 other ppl does matter 
yup
actually
it doesnt
it just takes more skill to team carry
then carry your own weight
once again, build and weapon viability relies on skill
Yeah but I got a
bottom
Real
In any case, some build are "better" than other
This'll be fun
Indeed
but no weapon is unrunable in havoc
or build
If I bring bolter to h40, I want it to be at least "good"
And now I feel I can make it work
without being a zealot that is
Terror tactics, aye
I would try recon but I hate this weapon with all my soul
Nothing beats a good knife
DS does
Knife and Lasgun
Basic guardmans kit
I do think DS is basically an easier to use knife
I do love the 🔪
I still prefer rashad axe and ps mk6
I love it just because it's the closest I can get to a hotshot volley gun BUT FATSHARK WONT LET ME HAVE IT
Great weapons too
There's no better feeling than killing 500 million heretics with a just a simple knife
I don't like recon cuz it feel mono-dimensional to me
Taxe 
Recons and autoguns are great because my aim sucks. Sure I didn’t kill that pack of gunners but I sure suppressed em
CLOSE! KILL! AND DO IT AGAIN!
Bolter and braced are great at suppression
Inf iag vrak formely known as columnus use to be great, but since surv nerf it fell down hard
Also do not like havoc modifier
Can anyone explain why you’d take the bolt pistol or bolter over the other?
Feels nice
Bolt pistol is more agile but ads and dump is worse
Bistol is a sidearm. Bolter is a primary
You cant play bolter with weapon specialist
Ok that’s about what I was guessing. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything
I’d say it’s more so the fact he was using arguably one of the extremely hard to use guns in the game
You could but it'd feel reeeally bad
Bolt pistol feels good
That's about it
Another weapon that fell of like crazy is revolver
Personally I like it with weapon specialist. That loop of melee kills getting 2-3 rounds into your mag feels nice
I’d say it explains a lot on how I managed to do really well on my first ever 35+ with a VA cause I was testing the waters before getting blamed for the wipe of not running a good weapon lmao
Imo a WS build that do not abuse agile is probably below standard
Close enough welcome back Destiny
Also are we talking about boltgun or boltpistol ?
I’ll probably try running Vigilant again in higher havocs sometime again
Boltpistol is fine with WS
I just have to really fucking think on how to optimize it lmao
boltgun is... a different build
Both in general but yeah I see how having to rack the bolt messes with agile
Boltgun you are mostly building around that reload speed lmao
Idk man 3 seconds seems pretty manageable???
impracticable and do not help pullout
you can either look at builds as being better or worse based on their maximum possible attainment or their attainment when controlled for skill level
Yeah I was joking
no joke, it is the internet hence I must be mald
insert knife bleed gif here
dont cut yourself on that edge
Finally, a person of culture and cutlery
Local reminder that Uncanny does in fact effect the bleed DOT
Thank you
ok but does that make bleed good
yes
thats why uncanny lacerate is the best knife combo

FT/Lacerate + Uncanny
yup
It’s honestly dependent on preference but Lacerate if you can manage head and body juggling
It’s funny as hell cause like
Lacerate and Uncanny on their own
Being in the sentence with skill
Should not exist
lol
I still remember before the DS on every class how many people I had to explain to that uincanny lac is the ebst
I can argue FT for Vet and Zeal cause of their innate Crit talents
Because it seems like you’re unironically baiting and it’s like a genuinely hilarious way to abuse insane DOT
I tend to hop between Lac or FT depending on how I want to play lmao
Uncanny needs to be adjusted
uncanny needs to be removed
100% total rending is silly
20% melee rending would be more in line with other stuff
That one is fine
Hit head to have 100% is so dumb
part of me wishes there was some sort of feedback for rending backstab
120* angle behind where the enemy is facing for melee iirc
But there should be some sort of feed back or minimum a mod that shows if you’re doing a backstab
spy tf2 in tidedark
180 at minimum
@faint beacon
don't forget the bluetooth backstabs
They adding a collar by itself finally for the favorite child
that's zealot.
psyker cosmetic base is built on zealot

I’m honestly curious if there even is a back stab mod
Could be a simple indicator
No fucking way
How’s it going everyone, if it wouldn’t be much to ask could someone give me a screen shot of their talents and curios build for a veteran running an autogun?
Trying to find something that melts enemies since I’m trying to finally play auric but I need something to pass maelstrom first
❤️
Columnus Mk V IAG slaps
I think they changed the name of it though, idk what it is now
Graia?
Vraks
Get out of my chat…..
Yea I’ve been running the breaks for a long time now. Took a hideous from the game and there’s a shit ton of new stuff all over the ship
But my skill has gone down a bit and I feel that the talent I had prior to all the updates doesn’t do half the damage it once did
Just looking from something better talent/stat wise
If having to choose between rending strikes and bring it down, which do?
Test in the psyk and see which one helps more
Big brained. Thank you
Usually it's weapons with lower damage per shot that benefit more from rending. Usually. But yeah testing in the psyk is the best way to know for sure.
THIS HELPS A LOT. So helbore probably doesn’t need the rending node?
But it gets more damage with rending. So-
Uh I only use the mk iv, which is the heaviest one
That one shouldn't need it
Not sure about the rest, would guess not except against carapace perhaps
Helbores don’t really need rending you tend to worry about raw damage output on them or crits
Well, ahh you gotya do the break point testing to dee
I’m trying to run it so that I don’t really need ammo. Saw someone mention a helbore build in ogryn chat and I was just like HMM
After reading the rending bit, it's a good idea to check if it'll even matter to take rending
Mainly you have to look at it as
Does it’s ADM really fucking matter to need Rending
Who the hell is tanner lindberg
Abrasive YouTuber with weird/wrong takes
Tannercord is also a cesspit from the small snippets I’ve seen from it if that further clears up anything as well lmao
Yes it does
Just filling in the gaps from my time away from this game :)))
Thanks fellas
