Yikes
Yeah no he’s extremely deplorable
That and he got carried through H40
If you want the ego cherry on top 🚬
Avoid at all costs
Psychotic being fueled w hate that enjoys spreadin it around
Threatened strawhat and shat on a bunch of mods cuz of a perceived slight
And what they said, his takes are usually wrong or at the least ill informed
why do people always defend him too like "he's gotten a lot better"
"He only says some slurs now"
cus he was soft spoken in a few newer videos 🤡
i cannot stand him
the good news is that Tanner burnt his bridge with the main community a long time ago
his influence only really exists purely in his "class breakdown" videos
but that is an issue with the YT community as a whole, not specifically Tanner
Those were the only ones I saw from him tbf outside of looking through his channel
Only other Darktide YT that sketches me out is Telopots but idk enough about him to say anything
depends on ur weapon
usually automatic weapons benefit more from rending
I mean that’s fair, though he’s dropped DT so far from what I’ve seen so yeah
Ye I figured, his uploads were getting sparse and I stopped watching him anyways cause he'd say some not great stuff occasionally
Only one I watch now is Mr unc my beloved
Funny guy
Oh wait, he dropped DT entirely?
looking for power sword or maccabian duelling sword possibly
Rip
Trying to at least is what I’m hearing
Which I mean fair
Game changes
People lose interest
Hell I’m getting into VT2 now but I still like DT
Anyone pls?
I was going to ask if you’ve adjusted to Auric Mael yet
i have not yet, been trying diffirent builds. Tried a grenade veteran build but the combat knife is too high skill for me
there
I’d say get used to how Auric Damn feels first and then attempt Havoc 25+
Because that’s when Havoc actually becomes well
Havoc
thanks everyone!
Hehe Hellbore go Stab
mk iv bayonet: am i a joke to you?
everyone: yes, you're a fucking joke
good on the faster firing ones
usually not worth
but crushers
Any non-intuitive talents that are good with a shredder grenade focused build?
Thank you!
well o4b is good too
Lethal Proximity from the bolt pistol
I'm trying Lethal Proximity, Uncanny, and All or Nothing
hey guys, with plasma gun, should i be using charged shots or uncharged ones primarily?
hipfire (uncharged)
shovel swap speed tech
you get a small burst of speed when taking out the shovel
his speed is going up
it's obviously stamina inefficent compared to sliding but i play focus target and have stamina comin out of my gun
Only works on the foldables
would be insane if it was conserved into a slide, you hit 8 for a few frames but it just doesnt seem to keep like normal speed into a slide
Obscure movement tech
For veterans what are the best stats for Curios?
IMO every class should take two 16% toughness curios, 3rd one is flexible
Except maybe ogryn
I think toughness , wounds? , and stamina
Perks I always like ability regen and 5% toughness, 3rd perk again is flexible
That's what I run anyway
2x hp, 1x toughness for outside of havoc
you could do 2x toughness and 1x hp, but it hurts your perk options
Wdym by this?
I figured toughness was always better especially with gold toughness existing
and toughness DR
there's a fairly entrenched mindset wherein you build yourself to have 200hp + sniper resist so you can survive 'two sniper shots', which honestly, I don't care even slightly for the idea when gold toughness is a thing you can splash out very easily and the idea of taking two sniper shots in any decent time frame where that HP/Resist saves me is like ... idk, i sincerely cant recall the last time that has ever happened to me
im totally presuming this is what sirosky means with 'hurts your perk options'
yes
there are enemies that bypass toughness
in reality you can frankly just do whatever the fuck you want, except for wounds which is universally agreed upon to be shit and a waste
you won't always have gold toughness to save you
unless you're playing with a coordinated team in havoc or something
realistically in pubs, a dumbass will push a burster into you
Am I wasting a stat by running wounds 🤔
or you will catch a stray from a sniper that was aiming at your teammate
and you won't have gold toughness up
objectively, yes
a wound is fine if you're just learning imo
If you're good enough to not go down or really get hit yes
Should I swap it for health
get 200+ hp, rest into toughness
some people feel comfortable and more capable if they have that safety net and thats a psychological thing that i wont deny is real but is also a mental block you are persistently playing into and relying on that is detrimental
Ok glad I learnt now instead of getting comfortable w it cause yeah I don't really go down tbh
and wounds also cause you to go down more often anyway, since you could've taken health or toughness instead
also makes green stimms less effective
so yeah pretty bad overall
All it does it allow you to go down more times hey?
yeah
It is good for martyrdom zealot tho obv
Does nothing for hp
Martyrdom gaming
but seriously, do whatever you want
you're gonna find a very wide breadth of opinions as to what curios you should have and what perks should be attached to them and all of them are some shade of valid (for the most part)
im strictly in camp "damage res perks are dumb as shit"
others say you should have one or two of sniper or gunner
others say you should triplicate both
and you'll find all are quite staunch on their opinion
because guess what, take whatever you want, it'll work for you if it works for you
What’s better overall though? Stamina regen or sprint efficiency
sprint
Reason?
hmmm
Doesn’t stamina regen help you block more if needed?
block eff? 💀
sometimes stam regen can be a big help, but regen itself is usually not what you're lacking
its just getting more use out of the stamina you do regenerate, because the delay is what is really killing you
and vet at baseline has atrocious delay
sprint eff is very good
So you basically run double sprint eff with one corruption resist as third perks?
triple sprint for me
and i only run corruption at high havoc, which is also tripled
Is it worth mentioning I use powersword
same
i wouldnt say trolling
this shit takes a long time to learn lol
there are some hilarious takes in the thread my post originates from
like "36% stamina regen means 36% more blocking and sprinting"
which is very funny and completely wrong and a very poor deduction of its impact
but thats how people view these things
Some has some build recommendations to make some variety for the vet? Both perks and weapons pairings.
i also ran stamina regen for i want to say about six months, labouring under the impression that it also reduced the delay (it does not and never did)
I've been running triple stam regen 💀
at which point i swapped it out for sprint and never looked back
i have always ran block efficiency because Vermintide-pilled
so strictly in terms of sprint vs stam
you can either earn 1.36 stam per second when you are regenerating
or you can make the stamina you do have last ~50% longer while sprinting
I have ability CD and toughness on all 3 then stamina regenx2 and corruption resist
I know it doesn't do this and still use it because I use knife too damn much and my stamina keeps evaporating from push attack spam
So swap the stamina regen with sprint eff?
fair and valid
yea id swap it like that
exec stance graia brauto
yea
So knowing this, you would swap to sprint still?
I have 2 atm
@latent parcel
Since I just made the vet yesterday
+3 is max so ye
the sprint wont directly impact your push attack costs, but you are still using less of it which frees it up to be used more for pushes
2 is fine if its all you have tho
i don't bother with a stam curio on my vet with PS
Running 2 max health and 1 toughness on vet
Exec works well with braced auto weapons?
With regen for Stam and toughness and sprint efficiency plus extra toughness
oooooh yes
No ability?
i don't run cdr on any of my curios
Will give it a try, I don't think I have used much Bauto so far
yeh
graia's the best of the brautos
I dont mind em all
graia's surprisingly ammo efficient
plus it leads itself to running right at the bad dudes, and xstance works in melee now too
You definitely should, more ability uptime is always great, especially VoC
yeah i really like exec stance now
ES is very strong
tac awareness is so powerful that i never feel the need to shave like 4 seconds off the cooldown
VoC is just fucking stupid, same as it always was.
I unironically am under the impression that Vet is one of the few classes that genuinely can get away with a 21 HP 17 Tough and 3 Stam combo just cause of the talents giving you so much toughness or HP to work with
Roger, any other consideration to pair it in perks?
I never see ES unfortunately
Graia used to be columnus mk v correct?

flakiac + deathspitter/firefrenzy
uhhh idr
the fast firing one
the space ppsh
flakiac is my favorite band
Was talking of the perk tree, but this is useful, ty
What does block efficiency do? Just reduce amount of stamina to block and does this include push attack?
only block effects
I see Graia 90% of the time im thinking of the Graia 7 Vigilant
cause I just love those guns
so blocking, dclaw parry, the autoblock while reviving, and the autoblock from relic blade activations (zealot)
i dont recommend it, and yes im aware that i use three of them
sprint efficiency is better than stamina regen on veteran
unless u specifically take the stamina regen delay reduction talent nodes
it's a bit of a meme build, but prob i've been top fragging with it so maybe not that much of a meme build 
if you don't go onslaught, you have more points to work with, but i try to use the gun as much as possible
tbh Im not a big stockpile enjoyer so Id rather save the 2 points there
I dont spam shredders enough for it
gimme that desperado and stam regen delay node tho
Old columnus is now vraks.
No keystone do feels meme, but will see what can be done, ty
yeah you can take FT if you drop onslaught
but i don't think keystone matters much for braced
MF is a bad meme with it
FT is nice, but really not that big of a deal
and brauto doesn't have particularly fast draw for WS
you also need to brace, for max dps, which makes WS even less appealing to play with graia
i love both demo perks, frags are amazing
This probably gets asked a lot, but I looked through the pins. Is there a current Commissar build using the Laspistol instead of the plasma around perchance?
what does a comissar build mean 🤔
means shout/middle keystone
what guns do you like for high level havocs?
especially for killing gunners and such
I've yet to do any really. I am still sorta new but my vet is 30, but so far I love the saber so I know at least what melee I like.
this was a Royal You question to the channel btw
@exotic condor pinging you here cause zealot restriction sucks. so basically the numbers on the left are the current weapon stats. when it gets fully empowered, the stats will look like the ones at the right. consecration has no effect on those stats whatsoever, if it does, its a bug
it has to be a bug because mine went from 60% max when it was white to 80% max now that its gold
it's fine Ill just keep buying weapons
yeah thats the strat
curses and badness upon you
Well no one joined so ots me and 3 bots 😆
i didn't even realize non-auric maelstroms are a thing
Ah we got so close no ammo was spawning tho
i think that was what the maelstrom modifier was so yeah
Ah , wasn't much fun running a bolt pistol in that ngl
Got to about a quarter way in and ran out of ammo
yeah make sure you carefully look at the modifier before going in lol
I swear it just had the brute re inforcements on
skill issue 
mfw i try to push burster but my teammates shoot it right next to me and trashtalk me for trying to "melee it"
also Wolfer stole all my speed stimms
Rannick will hear about this
"woah" indeed
it could, there's 7 brute modifiers and I'd guess the regular one is abhuman_01
considering it also got added to regular board
I was shooting a poxburster at the front of a burster train and my zealot teammate sprinted past me to push it as it exploded
Same game
My favorite is spawning next to a ledge. Simple, deadly, give you a little bit of hope
Just enough agency to assume it is your fault
popping in here rq cuz images aren't allowed in zealot chat
how am i looking so far
more specifically did i make a mistake investing in the brauto and crusher here
yeah good idea tbh
so you don't waste mats
make sure you grab double charge on fury asap
really makes the class
yup yup, i try to play like im in hotline miami
i'm actually trying to cosplay jacket but
i dont think anything looks remotely like a letterman jacket this game
the hood works as a mask tho
Do not invest in brauto, it falls off hard compared to infantry autoguns in basically every department.
brautos are fun
Yeah but theyre terrible lmao.
Even with abusing dance of death their spread is awful, and they only get 2 dodges compared to an infantry autogun's 5.
Bolter?
Frankly, I'm of the opinion that combat shotguns pair best with crusher, but considering you aren't max level and don't have mats yet, boltgun will work in a pinch. Bistol is also a good choice.
Combat shotguns need fat investment and talent points.
Also crusher isn't set in stone I'm open to anything
I prefer accatran, the fire one, as it suppresses from any distance and can 2shot a bulwark once you open him up.
Rog
My eye is on relic blade maybe
Ds is obvious but I wanna experiment with other weapons
Ds is nice on vet, but stupidly on zealot
Relic blade is quite good but you'll have to get used to low mobility. I suggest an infantry autogun to pair with it. Pick your poison on model.
I run the agri model and abuse dance of death to pick off shooter trash from safe distances.
Also bonus to me trying to play like hlm
Throwing knives = biker's throwable cleavers
So most high level zealots go... ds, relic blade, what else assuming like havoc?
crusher, knife, thunder hammer, and combat axe are all good too
thunder hammer is a bit more niche for havoc but it's funny for erasing problem monstrosities
gotcha, crusher has my eye cuz it's as close to a baseball bat as im getting
whats my gameplan against crushers? heavy+charged up a stagger?
well for Crushers just FOTF one shot them with thammer or crusher empowered attacks
Thammer can also just do it whenever with thrust
Knife is just a dueling sword but different
combat axe spams heavy attacks into their heads
oops yeah im using crusher myself
its running flak+maniacs as well as slaughterer and skullcrusher
i can chunk a crusher with a chastise and an empowered crusher heavy, but not one shot. fotf is up now tho
Why pair a low mobility melee with a mid mobility gun? Just take a revolver/laspistol instead
The relic blade can kill anything at melee range, you'll only be pulling out the laspistol for the speed and also killing gunners/specials, which the laspistol excels at
Bolter is nice
Always gonna be there to help you out
As long as you get around slow reloading and swap speed
right are we talking about vet or zealot
Zealot
Make it both
I love bolter on vet
zealot is fun and I play it frequently
Plasma's hard to click with
but I have zero idea how to build one
so basically every zealot build I got isn't even mine
nah nah im about to dust my lvl 30 off for the event and he's a vet
need to rebless his bolter n stuff
oh yeah vet bolter fucks
bolter overall fucks
although i am more of a bistol enjoyer
Bolter is inefficient for crushers tho, you're better off with a revolver
ehhh that is true
this is where melee comes in
suffering builds character
On overwatch hell rn
So you're telling me that duelist is op because it is op?
duellist is op because it's 2 buffs
that both go into the crit-weakspot dmg calculation
duelist is the one with extra weakspot dmg and refill dodge?
i main exe stance+usually kraks but might go frags+bolter
Extra weakspot and crit weakspot dmg on dodge
For zealot
inefficient but flattening crushers is very fun
kraks are so bad bro
I have genuinely stopped using them entirely and haven't looked back since using shredders and smokes
Real
why wait for that fuse time when I can just like
yeah ive already got bolter so like, frags time
kill the crusher in melee
1 krak kills 2 things at most
or spray them with a bolter
because you would be running stuff like dclaw on havoc 40 5head
oh true
Dont tempt ppl
I do use heavy sword in havoc sometimes
Ive been itching to run dclaw in havoc
But then I'm always using Bolter, Plasma, or Mk IV helbore with it
i just run ds4 or rashad for havoc
So I'd just shoot crushers/maulers
This still works, but having to use multiple heavies to kill an elite really feels painful
I miss oneshotting anything with flak
Surgical if you like single shots
surgical's not bad yeah
nah run ilasguns
ill admit i was tempted to go carapace and unyielding but that doesn't hit any breakpoints right
infantry lasguns?
yes
i wanna give kantrael 7 a whirl
and also green one
yeah lasguns are fun to shoot so id be down to give 2b a shot
it's also good
If u play monstrous maelstrom, use shattering impact and cavalcade
ok hellbores are basically the worse lasgun picks I think?
Just different playstyle
Helbores are weird lasgun picks. They have upsides over them, but losing out on ghost sucks
Also requires goof aim
The main thing keeping Helbores down would be their abysmal draw and reload speed imo
alright fuck it im gonna try kantrael 2b
Hm? Reload speed is pretty average on helbore
lets see
Thinking flak+maniac, ghost and... uh, forgot the other blessing
the melee'll have to be focused on anti heavy. brumomentum rashad axe?
shredder nades and survivalist aura
headhunter
rashad is super good into chaff you mean
Rashad is horde rapist
right
brain sleepy
i was thinking of the overheads
how's it fare against heavies like crushers?
assuming head hits
3 shots :3
You need trench fighter to make rashad work on vet however
Ah ok
^
flak+maniac, brumomentum aaaaaand... uh headtaker?
rashad is special it needs extra care
maniac+unarmored
HT and Bromentum
This is what I use for havoc you can take and redact it if you wanna
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9de6b3ce-32ff-4491-9395-0a3e810c5dd3/havoc-build-lmaoooooooooo
yea
figures
effect can be strong
but is awkward to play
it's genuinely better to go keystoneless imho
yeah i had a hunch because moving losing stacks sucks
how do i do the focus target modifier. do i just do the middle mouse button on an enemy to spot them?
yea
thats op
it's good on specific weapons that get value out of 3 or 6 stacks
im surprised more vets not using it in my games
infantry lasgun and bolter are the ones that immediately come to mind
They're probably running WS
Gets me some 1hs breakpoints on havoc 40. Its fun
Why not go grenade tinkerer for the mini nuke frags?
IIb infantry lasgun can one shot headshot gunners with MF stacks
it's okie
Bolter doesn't need Puncture to one shot elites/specials with MF stacks
most prob crit related
well with mf stacks
You can do it with puncuture with 0 mf stacks
i might have to set the rashad for a different build, likely the kant 2b. Is power sword a good buddy for bolter?
That's what you're trading
because every talent point I invested are needed
what does coherency mean or do
toughness regen aura basically
The radius enables toughness regen and proccing of auras
Well as the tutorial mentions coherency causes your toughness (the blue bar above your health) to regenerate while you stay near your team
^
It's also the range of your classes aura
well it regenerates faster iirc, depending on how many people are in coherency eh?
yeah
if teammate within 8m of u, u get coherency
passively regen toughness when not being targeted by enemies' melee attacks
coherency is a tether system
if ur in coherency with a teammate who's in coherency with 3rd teammate (who isn't in ur coherency radius of 8m)
all 3 of u are considered to be in 3-coherency
most people do not understand how hard MF could hit in a full crit build
hypothetically, a gun with base 300 dmg and normal crit-weakspot 900
with full buffs (15x MF + deadly accurate + precision strikes), it would crit-weakspot for 2355
with full buffs (10x MF + deadly accurate + precision strikes), it would crit-weakspot for 2130
How exactly do i play the rightside path veteran?
Just stab people and thats kinda it?
Smoke grenades make shooters keep firing at your last known position if they started shooting beforehand.
Best to throw them before gunners get shooting.
i see
imagine psyker shield
It also apparently makes enemies attack slower in melee.
I can neither confirm nor deny this as I hate smokes and I do not play with vets that use them.
Nor have I ever found a smoke grenade vet in pubs.
5.5 meter radius that enemies can't draw LoS into or out of
stalkers and shooters cannot shoot blindly into smoke, and dogs can't pounce you
Trappers and Flamers also need to get closer to start attacking
Oh
Gunners will keep firing where they last saw you enter the smoke if they were already shooting, but can't start shooting if you were already inside it
Thats actually interesting for higher difficulty 🤔
It also has similar AI shenaniganry to ogryn taunt but to a lesser extent where ranged enemies will try to enter the smoke to get line of sight to shoot at you
i love smoking my teammates so that trappers shoot them point blank and they have no time to react
here's a tip on how to counteract that
stab the trapper
she's 5 meters from you at worst just kill her
why does my power sword take so many hits to kill a stupid unarmored units
Are you asking or making a statemebt
Send a screenahot and we will figure it out
Sounds like you're not charging it up
Then send me a screenshot of what you are using
if you don't turn it on with the special button it's trash at literally everything
its kinda hard to do when your getting shot at by 40 gunners all at once
correct
this is why the power sword has faded in popularity now that there are other viable melee weapons
slow clunky piece of shit sword thats only good for 3 swings before you have to shake it like a cheap flashlight to turn it back on
i need something that deals more damage
whats a better sword
Heavy sword, devil claw, shock maul, chain sword
Cpmbat knife
Depends which mark of it
also do curios stack
Powered Sword 
Yeaa
yeah
Level up the mastery of the weapon 
are this stats spread ok for bolter
Hmm personally is not good stats
ok thx
You have more luck if you buy from the brunt armoury
cause weapons you can easily get if you want to
to be fair no good drop for weapon so far on veteran
since i am new what is best way to get weapons
get whites from brunt until you get a good roll
For early level players yeah i think is the best way if you struggling
well new since they did rework on stuff
It is a mod 
mod
It just makes the weapons red when is max stats
But yeah if you got good amount of dockets you can buy white weapons from brunt armoury until you get a good roll of stats
Like the one I sent above
how do you max it out like that so its 80/80
also what are good blessings for the shock maul
Empower at hadron
I dont really use the shock maul 
Falter skullcrusher
Yeah you have to upgrade your weapons on hadron and make sure to level your mastery to the max
High Voltage Skullcrusher 
Or even Hammerblow Skullcrusher
But that one is more niche
what is dump stat for bloter weapons?
Bolter mobility bolt pistol collateral
okay i have to admit
flunging around with the combat knife is fun.
But after one mission i feel like i get carpal tunnel
Yeah that's about right
probably
Ah, aight, thanks!
i also got to use the plasma gun now. Damn why did i sleep on it.
Probably because of Bolter overdose 🤔
It feels similar to Fire Warrior though 😄
I dobt use it because of how op it is
I wish we could Colonel Straken that shit
Just manhandle a heavy bolter with a fuckton of ammo
🤓 actually any collatoral above 70 is wasted
But me like max stat weapon 
just find a 5050 split between mobility and collat
wait really
i think so i did a bunch of testing with someone a while back there are different bulwark stagger breakpoints at different distances
i just dont remember the numbers 
How exactly do you do the grenande-penance where it´s not supposed to hit the ground
just throw it really far with a lot of luck?
chasm logistartum
wait till the very end of the mission
when you board the plane back usually a hoard spawns from the entrance
throw a grenade(s) to the entrance from the helipad it should be enough
i tried it so far against the walls
but that was usually like 2 seconds too ealry :/
nah distance is your best bet
figures
i think you can also do it in other places but thats where i got it
oh also dont use kraks for it
they have less radius
i have shredders
ye good
Good
but i guess i combine stealth + long range than
Ask on lfg if some one is willo g to help
should work out either way
stealth isnt important for it i found a video
This achievement frustrated me, but this is how I finally got it.
Hopefully you'll find this helpful, best of luck!
#darktide #warhammer40k #longbomb

This is Atoma, you reject
There be no rat men for you to slay here

Yoo good job
can anyone help me with 10 auric games no deaths
I dont think anyone has enough time for that
anythings better than braindead randomws
same
sometimes im both
ah fuck it ill never get 10 games imma do ahvoc 40s
auric examplar is a waste of time
i saw u react u fucker @latent parcel
i hope u saw the clip of u flyying off teh map
ya i did that was great
I would join but I'm workin today. Might be able to get out of work tho
i need more godgryn practice
u getting on?
might have some time before work
aight dm me when ur on
Best curios for veteran? rn I have hp, tpughness and stamina but I saw some ppl mention that double toughness is better sooo help
I like double toughness but some advocate for double hp instead
I feel like gold toughness, toughness DR, and toughness replenishment are easy enough to get that double toughness is worth it more most of the time IMO
Try both though and see what you like more
I just like the way I have it rn tbh, but was curious for what would be the min max option
^
We were talking about it a bit last night
1 of each still works for an all rounder thing. Drop stam if you have a high stam melee though unless you run deadshot.
I run 2 toughness 1 stam
But as Rose said I see people running 2 health 1 stam
I dont really see people running one of each especially in havoc because the reduction is harsh
average veteran player (this is literally me)
he literally said in CHAT and it was still on my screen and i SOMEHOW still missed it
You can just dodge backwards to get out of its radius
oh i tried crouching backwards LOL
And you have havoc 40?
when the (+1000) pulls the demonhost 🥹
Why have you tried to crouch stealth LOL
yes
Watch Vic gets fucking assassinated and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos captured using Medal.
With that movement? 🤔
yes
Who carried you ong
Thats interesting speed boost even backwards
apparently i was a better veteran than 90% of the people they pick up so now i play with them when they play
Did not know that was possible
@wicked cedar back me up here 🙏
Knife shenanigans
Why I’m running lacerate uncanny cause you can abuse the ever loving shit out of rending bleed which deletes hordes
im good at the game just i lack alot of knowledge really
🙊
And then knife in general is also good at well- killing anything lmao
funny thing is ive done it before too just somehow didnt wake it up fully
LMFAOOOOO
i swear i cant see those mfs sometimes 😭
The glowing murmuring thing
There's a grace period when it floats up where you can run away
I am all down for crazy movement but i am not up for all shenanigangs you can pull with the knife 
Your mates did not even pinged the DH? 
The hoarfrost covering your skin as well when you get close
apparently not until it was too late
i think they all assumed i wasnt a blind fucking bat
which is honestly fair
Funny that they had the time to type in chat but not actually ping 
That’s the biggest indicator you’re in a DHs range is the frost Starts covering the border of your screen
joking aside though whats some good melees besides DS for veteran
im tired of DS
was thinkin combat axe but is it any good
I’ve been enjoying achalys psword
It’s literally the best melee in the game
Hmm, devil claw is fun for me but it is not too amazing against armor
the combat axe or the DS
Veteran has like 4 good melees and the rest are extremely dependent
Shovel is a fun one if you wanna try to one tap most enemies
i like throwing a nuke at my enemies though to be fair
when in doubt nuclear warheads
I need to give the heavy sword a try for veteran 
It is good on zealot but never tried for vet
It’s playable you just force yourself to only use Bolter or Plasma
Cause of lack of carapace damage
heavy sword is good on vet though iirc its not good against armor
Bolter is good for me 
You’ll notice that with veteran
yeah
Pick one weapon forced to use Y to compliment it
So same thing as the devil claw
I think I can tolerate it
Combat Axe
I already spend too much time just beating a crusher with the devil claw alone 
If you do BM + Headtaker
brainfart moment
Combined with Rending Strikes talent
And Elite Cara perks
You can 3 tap crushers with heavy spam
And still have good horde clear
Which is spamming lighting
if i remember the axe does struggle with cleave?
If you’re not running Brutal Momentum
Which gives it infinite cleave on kill
Basically kill enemy it’s damage doesn’t drop
So you can just
i assume combat axe dumpstat is mobility right
I used to play combat axe through my mid experience with the game and kept struggling with cleave on hordes but i might give a try again
Kill 4 poxers at the click of a light swing
Yes
k
Rashad is literally
The most overpowered melee in the game outside of mobility abuse
That’s DS
Knife used to be that but was massively dethroned
which combat axe mark should i use
Rashad for finesse stat
I should mention you kinda have to go down the WS keystone path to pick up Trench Fighter Drill
That 10% melee speed is a huge difference on Caxe
On veteran it’s literally a QOL talent but it’s not a must need at times
I’d say it’s a “if you can afford it”
what about iron will?
Caxe though? You kinda have too with Vet
That’s the handful of mandatory perks
Precision strikes, Iron Will, Tac Awareness, Demo Stockpile OR Demo Team depending on point tax
Those are like the 4 must takes
turning the combat axe into a shovel with weapon customization is diabolical
Honorable mention Desperado
That shit is insane on Veteran
I’d say superiority complex is also nice but that’s very build dependent
Honestly you’ll notice that a lot with vet
Your weapons massively shape your tree pathing
Am I bad for feeling like I need suppression immunity on low fire rate weapons like helbore or infantry las
My instincts say yes

Helbore yes cause it’s suppression and recoil effected under suppression don’t exist
However
Infantry Las
You literally have to run determined
Or you can’t shoot anything
That’s how severe it’s suppressed downside is
So I mean I feel you’re just in the groove of not realizing other weapons might not need the talent cause honestly ILG is the biggest offender
Fair I only really notice it on ILG
Simply just aim better
I'll have to run helbore again without it and see

Fair argument
If I don't have 100% accuracy, my power supply shuts off
Me who’s gotten so used to the Jank Agri 9 recoil that I straight up cannot comprehend the “it’s recoil pattern is bad” argument with it anymore lmao
I have to hit 100% headshots or my computer turns into an IED and levels my entire Bloc
Good, now you'll never miss or its suddenly not your problem c:
Maybe the real cyclonic torpedo was the friends we made along the way
Give frag bomb grenade tinkerer fatshark
Wait today is the 28th
Yes
FUCK I WORK ALL DAY AND THE NEW ZOMBIES MAP CAME OUT RAGGHHH
Employment at will? Just quit 😎
My contract is employment at will and its so tempting each day
Anyone have any tips for this penance? I've just been using the Bolt Pistol with Crit Blessings. The trouble is that the weapon specialist buffs only last a few seconds and it ain't always guaranteed to get a weakspot crit. Pretty slow going on this penance so far.
Revolver
I kid you not revolver
But it’s tedious
Veterans penances are very lengthy
Revolver and bolt pistol have really generous weakspot hits
Honestly a bolter can be helpful
That’s a hot take
I think i tried the revolver already and didn't notice much difference, just maybe more accurate in comparison, longer reload too, didn't notice any higher amount of weakspot crits though. I'll give it a try again though.
thought it just said kill specails/elite with weapon specialist active 
Extremely short window to use the Ranged Stacks
Yeah it has to be the ranged stacks active
yeah that's the main problem there
Which is 5 seconds
Hence BP and Revolver are good for it
i do think it should be 10s just so that ranged attack speed also means something
I’d argue the Vigilants but I’d rather you get actual progress done
I honestly don’t mind it being 5 at all
presently i dont either since we are mostly all playing into the critshot + always prepared
I kinda just wish it wasn’t so leaned towards get 1 ranged and get minimum 3 melee
but thats boring and one dimensional so it would be nice if that attack speed could actually last like the melee one does
then it would benefit other weapon types more noticably
Yeah literally
what about it tho
Get like maybe 1 or 2 stacks on the side and you can just immediately swap to get out of bad situations
Especially 10 ranged stacks giving you like damn near max toughness lmao
i keep forgetting to get the most out of that in the heat of the moment, only really use it when a special comes around or something
It’s underrated but it’s understandable why people don’t take it
Mainly cause it taxes your talent tree
Who ping me...
im
how do i say this
yea it doesnt
work like that at all
its only ever the one 20% per swap
Find that hard to believe with the insane toughness I’ve gotten from it
yea youre getting that from ... something else
cause its super uh
shit actually
That or just consistently swapping
3s internal cooldown just kills it imo
doesnt matter where you put it, if i can skip it id still skip it
maybe i'm crazy but i don't feel like the 3s cd is that much
it's the pathing that kills it more often for me than the internal cd
it is and it isnt
it relegates it to being a supplemental
instead of something you could deliberately play into to farm
if im genuinely doing one melee > one ranged > one melee > one ranged through a crowd of shooters, im only earning toughness on some of those procs instead of all of them
i mean why do you need to swap that often tho
so many reasons
and you prob won't need 20% toughness literally every 2s
that node is always meant to be supplemental to O4B/CK/ET
sprint speed, dodges, blocking, sprint efficiency, reload swap, qq, etc.
i really don't understand why any of those require you to swap after literally every kill 🤔
but i might just not be a pro gamer
toughness is something that ideally you earn if you meet its conditions and you want as few or as generous a condition(s) as possible
so to have it barred on a 3s cooldown imo, instead of guaranteed on a proc consumption
idk
dont care for it
dont like the idea of pressing Q, using up a pile of Ranged Specialist stacks, and not actually getting the toughness boost i was maybe fishing for
i do 
yeah fair enough
I tend to swap a shit ton when mainly playing WS cause you really only need 3 stacks of ranged minimum to get the Crit benefit
So suppose it’s very much a playstyle preference based node
if i dont press q once every 1000ms i will die
It’s true if I don’t swap my weapon minimum every 2 seconds my city will be nuked
yeah that's 5s
Are there any Commissar builds that I could maybe look at somewhere? I wanna make something with Saber/laspistol and down the middle keystone but I am not good at making builds yet.
Real commissars use the 🅱️ istol
Bolt pistol looks better but las pistol is ok
Oh I am down to using the bolt pistol as well.
iirc bistol is better suited for grenade spam because one of the blessings interacts with nades
Not sure how good it is apart from that, I haven't played in a long time 
It was bad back then
You got my attention
Where should I look then?
Post a crap random build in here and ask for comment. Ppl will flock to criticize and you'll get your info
Or just simply ask for recommendations on weapons you’re interested in then tweak to fit your playstyle.
That’s what I did
No better way to grab people's attention than fucking ask for an opinion in a room full of tryhards, shit you right. wheeze
Would this also work with a bolter pistol battle brother?
He's not your battle brother, battle buddy
YOULL NEED TO TWEAK IT
caps 
would this work im a bit new to vet
Bolter doesn't need rending
Already on it
You'd have to remove shock trooper
Exactly what i just did
Don't take fte
Replace it with grenadier
Maximum grenades

you mean demo team?
thats rough
I mean personally it's not that good like
its not bad but its not good enough to take both on that spot in the tree
Ok now you have two points
Path to Grenade Tinkerer
rq wheres demo team
Sorry
Above middle aura
n o ignore what i said i found it
Born leader isn't good if you're not running glory hunter on your gun imo
so fte is bad but born leader is worse?
Yeah
thats rough
Its not like bad I should say with voc and tac awareness
I'm very bipolar in my opinions today

See this is what i call a real hood build LMAO
Basically born leader is kinda bad without glory hunter
what is bipolar
Swapping rapidly between two different moods
ah thats rough
(In this case I'm swapping between different opinions)
You do want demo team if you're running Lethal proximity anywho
Because memes
Oh also
Replace either precog, or riposte
Imagine if you could gangsta-aim 🅱️istol
got it
I just wanted to try out combat blade 
1 finesse, a cooking knife is better crafted than this knife
its so grim
shouldnt have taken brunts rashuns
Bro got that plastic knife

But 'tato peels and crayons
Dark even
Which site you guys use for posting talent trees?
Gameslantern is the most used one iirc
For what gun?
Bistol
Also with one point left take superiority complex
What blessings?
You need grenade regen on kill
Also pretty sure you have more than 1 left
Taking Demo team that makes all 30
I'm still sorta new sxo I am unsure about blessings yet
You got 26 points
Do I take off Target Down then?
I guess my question is, what melee weapon are ya using to take repricosity?
