bro are there a autogun that suitable for sniping role

hollow ibex
#

yeah you got an entire class of them

#

they're called vigilant autoguns

void dragon
#

Am I crazy or the superior sniper weapon is the bolter? It might have a lowish ammo econ, it punch holes on targets with relative ease, does the Helbore or vigilant guns excel on something specific other than ammo?

unreal nova
hollow ibex
#

helbore's also a good sniper

gritty mural
#

and surprisingly good ammo economy

void dragon

#

How is it? Is Helbore absolute in shambles?

unreal nova
#

No, ammo economy is horrible, and your tree will be a mess, lmao.

hollow ibex
unreal nova
#

If you are just the elite/specials shooter.

#

Is funni, sure.

hollow ibex
#

the worst situation is when you're getting swarmed, and there's also a gunner/shooter backline that's ripping you up

#

and there's no cover

#

helbore just can't deal with that

void dragon
#

Trying to be designated elite killer with 0 bodyguards as a sniper build on a quick play game is the definition of pain

unreal nova
#

Is why you need to play with at least one other willing to play a support role, lul.

#

As in, keep chaff off you.

void dragon
#

Hoping that the ogryn rework bring some taunt slabs to make that style more viable even on that environments

kind scarab
#

Psykers are like 30->90% support

#

Hoping an ogryn supports you better than one will only leave you disappointed I'm afraid since their fat asses tend to eat bullets you're trying to snipe with

glacial sigil
#

how do you even see this score?

But they rather pocket the Psykinetics psyker.

depends on what you mean by support

if you mean killing everything then yes

Sry was me

#

Can someone explain this to me this I've blocked boss special attack and thoughn3ss went down to 1 it's just luck or there is something like " If you block and you toughness would go to zero I stays at 1"

narrow frost
#

thats an overhead from the boss

#

it does through toughness

umbral scaffold
#

The toughness gain bolter on continuous fire saved me many times on this run but the ammo is a problem

Shock maul is GOOOD

#

What counts as staggered

unreal nova
odd sparrow
# stoic thorn What counts as staggered

Enemies who are wobbling/on the ground. Typically lasts for 1~ sec as you hit. Duration depending on the hit mass, essentially size of the enemy. Melee elites and ogryns generally being much harder to stagger

stoic thorn
#

My plasma gun has quite a bit of stagger to it

warm harbor
#

Can’t wait to have a Hellgun

stoic thorn
#

What would a hellgun do for us tbf

#

Inf ammo?

pseudo fiber
#

Funny

#

Hellgun with shock trooper lol

warm harbor
#

They’re said to go through space marine armor

#

So-

#

I bet they can destroy cultists easily

stoic thorn
#

We already destroy cultists easily

#

With the Ilas

#

And if there ARE astartes on the planet

#

We have the Thammer and Plasma Gun already

#

Plus Helbore alr gives out a shit ton of dmg

#

I'd want a Multilas for Ogryn

#

Las minigun

#

Plus I'm pretty sure it would be pretty hard to get the power cell of the Hellgun on the back

pseudo fiber
#

I mean the new vet weapon is probably a ranged weapon based on my own personal delusions

stoic thorn
#

We'd probably get the Hot Shot Carbine

#

Check the aquilons

#

Yeah I think so too

#

I want vet to be able to use any of the grenades the other classes can use.

junior grail

#

Give us a dedicated grenade slot

#

And let us switch between different class grenades

#

Pulling a pin ain't fucking science, anyone should be able to do it

Grenade launcher and power fist feel like they'd be the coolest options by a large margin

Ogryn rumbler if it wasn't fucking around

#

The shock maul is fun as fuck bonking people

pseudo fiber
#

All the ogryn grenades are a no go and unless we've found a way to safely harness the power of the warp no psyker stuff either

kind scarab
#

Instead of a mininuke, you'd probably get just a normal frag minus the bleed. Nade box would be an impact nade of sorts

pseudo fiber
#

I mean scaled down ogryn grenades would be shredders, shredders but no bleed, pocket cadia sand

(Naturally I'm under no illusions this would happen, but it'd be nice to imagine)

does the weapon specialist affect my next single shot or whole 6 sec?

doing this penance for it but 250 crit headshot seems rough

Revolver

I guess with this one I will always get 1 ammo back in my clip right?

#

7 Carapace+ flak

lyric portal
#

ok i will try it out

#

deci or skullcrusher, wich is better hordeclear?

tame lodge
#

Probably Skullcrusher

#

It's a debuff that makes enemies take more damage during stagger which shovel is good at

#

Deci would be strength, which is damage, cleave and stagger

#

So it would still help with horde clearing

#

Shovel is pretty fast so even if you drop deci you could probably stack it quickly

arctic rampart
#

As a shovel non-entushiast. I like the bonk on it, it seems fairly fast. But killing time sux. I think I used mk1 with uncanncy & decimator. Is mk7 better kill speed? For horde & mixed. I usually like light attack spam more but dont mind mk1 since bonk

faint meadow
#

So for the mk6 Lasgun.
been doing Crit on weakpoint/Weakpoint crit dmg with Flak and Crit %.
but ive seen others using Ghost more than the Weakpoint Crit Dmg.

arctic rampart
#

Ghost is for those that can't use dodge

#

Its (IMO) a wasted blessing. More damages more better

tame lodge
#

And Deadly Accurate is more used on the IIb than the others

hollow ibex
#

Yeah ghost is really good lol

grand perch
tame lodge
#

The good news is that you can stun lock them armored fools

faint meadow
#

So im kinda stuck with the Mk6, even though i do think the mk9 is better but i hate the woodstock. and Fatshark refuses to put out better skins to remove that. I'd love to use the Hellbore but those irons are horrid. and also..woodstocks.
It;s been doing alright so far. Carapace is obvs no go but the Combat Blade handles that well enough

It needs to be a global self buff

Any buff that’s global will apply

#

Did havoc 40 like twice then quit playing havoc altogether

#

Not a fun mode

keen grotto
#

i should be saying this in zealot channel but i keep seeing him not staggering gunners with pus skin using chorus when spectating

tall torrent
#

Pus doesn’t affect stagger reduction

#

Enemies just innately have higher stagger reduction (scales based on havoc rank) in havoc

keen grotto
tall torrent
#

In any case it’s going away in <1 week so no big deal

#

New mutators are way more interesting than current ones

#

Although the core systems of havoc still has many issues

keen grotto
#

still knowing these mutators can affect monters might be a problem

#

its either burst or get bursted

tall torrent
#

Not quite? AFAIK only elite and specialist enemies get slightly higher stagger reduction

#

Which doesn’t matter too much given almost every attack that successfully staggers in base game will also stagger in havoc

#

Very very very few exceptions

keen grotto
#

hopefully thats the case

#

Fatshark really wants to add beastmen in the game again

Like, gunners and reapers are fine, they're elites, they make sense to be able to shred you, but one single stalker dropping you in 3 shots, when he fires like 8 in a row, with perfect accuracy, in under a second, is unbelievably annoying.

It works wonders

atomic wyvern
#

It’s a hipfire gun innit

#

Or am I thinking of another gun

dry cloak
#

Braced is the hipfire one

#

Vigil is the more sniper one

atomic wyvern
#

Oh

#

That one.

#

😔

manic panther
#

i love braced autogun exe stance

#

very funny

atomic wyvern
#

Bro the vigil was a fucking nightmare for me on my most recent vet guy

#

The fucking ADS recoil 😭

dry cloak
#

Dont move

atomic wyvern
#

Why

dry cloak
#

Really dont move when you shoot

atomic wyvern
#

Something behind me?

#

Oh

dry cloak
#

The recoil is near zero

atomic wyvern
#

Fair enuff

dry cloak
#

Then

atomic wyvern
#

More of a run and gun guy thiugh

#

Ngl I remember I used to

#

Rock a Krieger build back in the olden days

#

The bayonet 2 tapped maulers

#

And the focus fire chargeshot could tear fucking holes through warlord class titans lmao

#

Good times

dry cloak
#

It still does

#

2 shotting crushers for 0 ammo

atomic wyvern
#

Yeah but they’ve

#

Nerfed the bayonet haven’t they

#

The funny

dry cloak
#

No?

atomic wyvern
#

They haven’t?

#

It’s kriegin time fuckers

dry cloak
#

I see those apparent nerfs as logical fixes

atomic wyvern
#

Define

#

Logical fixes

dry cloak
#

As you can physically go from equiping a gun to full on extended arms in 0.0seconds

atomic wyvern
#

Ehh

dry cloak
#

Yes helbore stabs now have a delay

atomic wyvern
#

Lore accurate imo lol

#

No damage reduction?

#

English pls

#

I haven’t learnt all the keywords and phrases yet 😔

dry cloak
#

I dont think so i need to check

atomic wyvern
#

Oh ok

#

To be fair not much of an issue for me

#

I’d typically run up to say a rager

#

Give em a love jab in the cerebral cortex

#

Go back and give him the firing squad treatment

dry cloak
#

Helbore stabs only get a delay

atomic wyvern
#

It’s kriegin timeeeee

#

I was told it got nerfed horrendously lmao

dry cloak
#

People over exagerate

atomic wyvern
#

Yeah I’ve learnt that here over time

dry cloak
#

It will simply not be as spammable as before

atomic wyvern
#

Works for me

#

Definitely a logical fix either way

#

I remember ploughing through hordes with the bayonet

#

Atrocious CD speed

dry cloak
#

Also the stab should not be your primary melee

atomic wyvern
#

I binded my fucking right click to the bayonet lmfao

#

Come to think I should have set up an auto clicker whilst I was at it

atomic wyvern
#

Might aswell use the shovel for funnies

dry cloak
#

Yep

#

I mean it still will fuck up occasional rager or melee guy

#

But not replace your melee

atomic wyvern
#

Yeah I get that

#

Shovels pretty good for crowd control last I checked

#

So should be fine

dry cloak
#

It still does

atomic wyvern
#

I’m a little bumsweat with melees so I’m gonna try hope for the best

#

But yeah thx for the info

#

Definitely looking forwards to krieging it all over the heretics

dry cloak
#

For run and gun tactics try shotguns and brautos

atomic wyvern
#

Kk

#

Gonna have to like

#

Set up multiple perk decks after college which is gonna be tiring

#

But shouldn’t be all bad lol

dry cloak
#

Also try to not use the shout

atomic wyvern
#

Exe?

dry cloak
#

Voc

atomic wyvern
#

Oh yeah yeah

#

Probably still gonna have to figure that out the hard way but the advice is appreciated

dry cloak
#

Playing without voc will.make you a better player

#

Im still waiting for stub pistol

manic panther
dry cloak
#

Question to people with more experience. How well would laspitol exe stance would work

dry cloak
#

Mk3 vigil with exe stance and mmf works wonders imo

#

Especially when crits hit

manic panther
dry cloak
#

Aye

manic panther
#

bolter exe stance my favourite vet build rn

calm shard
#

helbore exe stance

#

just one shot 4 crushers in a row

#

easy game honestly

manic panther
#

that is a good combo too i have to say

#

but something with one tapping enemies with bolter just

dry cloak
#

Also played helbore exe stance but my finger did not like it

manic panther
#

before the nerf of the bayonet, i used to play a bayonet exe stance build with focus target

#

my god the dmg on it

#

hit around 6k per stab on a monstrosity if i remember correctly

#

if not more

dry cloak
#

I mean we have dedicated monster killer weapons

#

And helbores bayonet is not one of them

manic panther
#

but it could be forged into one

#

would it be the best? No

#

would it be funny? Yes

dry cloak
#

And then we end up with toothpick being better at killing armor than thunderhammer

manic panther
#

exactly lol

#

because it makes sense

dry cloak
#

It does not

manic panther
#

no it really doesn't

grand perch
#

For April's fools they should switch damage profiles for DS4 and taxe pogryn

#

just swap speedload and refine crit damage to unyielding or flak damage buff

fleet garden
#

when m43 hits, maybe ill have another meta KEKW_ogryn

stiff glacier
#

and what meta would it be? hmmmm

vagrant ibex
#

I wish the Mk V Helbore lasgun could have the piercing bayonnet, instead of cutting

stiff glacier
#

or cutting one could be a bit better at it

vagrant ibex
#

Yeah, it's so dumb how easy you can kill anything unarmoured with it

#

But I think I'm mistaking, the Mk V already have the piercing bayonnet, it's the Mk IV that have the cutting one, and to wish I want it the piercing one

#

But............. Hey there is a mod to customise the appearance of the weapons

#

And it affects the secondary action too

queen fox
#

It should be tap for pierce, hold for cut

grand perch
#

You're not going to stab differently with another bayonet skin

this is what im currently running for stealth vet, you guys got any notes on improvement?

steep flower

If you don’t plan on having a boss melter you go with flak and blessings is headhunter/infernus for me; in that setup you don’t need shook trooper if you don’t magdump on everything; you get a free skill tree point you can invest into something else

steep flower
#

Unlike marksman or close dmg one

smoky sparrow
#

yeah i keep swapping that one with born leader

steep flower
#

They even mention that they activate when you exit invis

smoky sparrow
#

thats pretty much a dead node

#

dont feel like either one is too good

umbral scaffold
#

Had a nice damnation run last night with knife/revolver gonna make some music video later

steep flower
smoky sparrow

ill swap back to born leader then, thx for the advice!

steep flower

Others too

smoky sparrow
#

its a skill point thing

but ill experiment some to try to fit it in

So I’m new to veteran. How can I slide and shoot at the same time?

Grenade tinkerer seems enticing but in majority of the situations it is not needed, especially when you’ll learn to funnel enemies closer for your grenades

umbral scaffold

Not sure I would bring mk XIV revolver to havoc

But damnation is still alright

But making bolt pistol almost finished

So its good, can vouch

Stealth is great the low profile is beautifull

when i say fuck my team i run stealth zealot

But your team have to deal with more enemies when using low profile

smoky sparrow

theyll be fine

i still think rashad with bromentum is the most satisfying melee to use

drifting ridge
# trim badger Power Sword still good

What mark? I have been trying it out a bit lately it feels a bit wonky, tho since I'm used to relic blade the power sword feels like a gigantic downgrade

drifting ridge
trim badger
#

I don't remember now bleh has been a long while since I've last used it

#

I'm going crazy with knife now

smoky sparrow
#

or mk vi

#

whichever you prefer writing wise

drifting ridge
#

Opinions on chainsword? It's been kind of a comfort weapon for me when I was leveling vet

smoky sparrow
#

the stab push attack is very nice

#

you can also block cancel the power up animation

#

to stab even faster

drifting ridge
umbral scaffold
#

Hmm I have a question seems that when you are doing great on mission killing a lot of specials etc the Directors seems to throw more stuff at you character and aggro seems also be more towards you or It just imagination

smoky sparrow
#

yeah director knows if your team is actually competent

#

turns regular missions into hi int

drifting ridge
#

Adaptive AI ayo

umbral scaffold
#

But if you are good and teammates bad you get all the hell he throws that would U found

radiant chasm
#

If you are doing good, you tend to be the furthest ahead

umbral scaffold
radiant chasm
#

And enemies at a distance lock their aggro on the closest target

#

You are right about the AI adapting to performance

smoky sparrow
#

disablers also usually go for the people splitting from the team

radiant chasm
#

But individual players aren’t targeted besides splitting off from coherency

balmy flume
#

Also as vet, it is worth remembering stray shots can aggro distant enemies too

smoky sparrow
#

my favorite with staff psyker

#

m1 the world to aggro everything

smoky sparrow
#

shout through walls to aggro even more

#

when you shout at a wall and you get the 25 stacks

#

👌

drifting ridge
#

Also, ranged weapons for vet. I've been using a lot of recon lasgun, very much comfort pick. I know plasma is often said to be very strong, what other guns are good?

balmy flume
#

And heavens help you if enemy shooters are using a DH for cover.

smoky sparrow
#

boltpistol also can do very well even without skill support

unreal nova
balmy flume
#

With the rare exception, most guns for Vet are good TBH

balmy flume
drifting ridge
#

I see i see

smoky sparrow
#

shottys are still a lil bit underpowered

#

but thats about it

drifting ridge
#

Ok makes sense

smoky sparrow
#

the fireshotty with flechettes tho

#

it might not be effective

#

but its fun af

unreal nova
#

Do not use autopistol unless you are Ainz.

balmy flume
#

If you can get used to it, the shotty with the sniping solid slug round.

smoky sparrow
#

i just wish they differed between the marks instead of just inserting a special shell

balmy flume
#

Lol

radiant chasm
#

Which gives it even more cleave than zarona revolver

balmy flume
#

An argument could be made for going Boltgun if you BP, but then that is down to what ability you want to run

unreal nova
#

And WS not working with it.

balmy flume
#

Or the good old double barrel shotty

#

If you go full Doom mode

smoky sparrow
#

what do you run on it?

#

i still havent used it outside of maxing mastery

smoky sparrow
#

404 on the build link

unreal nova
#

Oh yeah, that. Only shotgun you can run with WS.

steep flower
smoky sparrow
#

looks like he has manstopper and deathspitter

#

also opening salvo seems like a no brainer on the db

gilded raft
#

Run man stopper and flechette with WS. WS gets you a guaranteed crit for massive cleave and 6 stacks of bleed, and reloads for you after 3 melee kills. Bonk bonk bonk, pull shotty, delete horde in 1 shot, repeat

smoky sparrow
#

that sounds sensible

#

ill try that

#

you run shout with that?

gilded raft
#

Lotsa fun. I like it with a bleed knife and shredders for an all bleed theme, or the combat axe for opening angry tuna cans easier

#

The shotty doesn't do anything to carapace, so you'll need something for that (i e. No heavy sword/catachan)

smoky sparrow
#

ill do caxe

#

go for the jacket instead of doomguy

gilded raft
#

You're an axe wielding shotgun blasting maniac. They won't question your fashion choices as they're getting murdered!

smoky sparrow
#

do you like hurting other people?

gilded raft
#

They're not people anymore when im done

#

So technically no

umbral scaffold
#

It's there differences in melee noise check for nearby enemies ?

#

I mean like using knife or shovel for example

gilded raft
#

What do you mean noise?

#

The noise you make to pull aggro?

umbral scaffold
#

Yes

gilded raft
#

That's not a thing

umbral scaffold
#

Ok

gilded raft
#

Aggro is proximity based

smoky sparrow
#

would be funny if chainweapons were more noisy tho

#

atleast on trigger pull

gilded raft
#

An enemy will aggro if you're close enough, or another enemy nearby is aggroed

smoky sparrow
#

thunderhammers in lore are noisy as fuck too right?

gilded raft
#

It's a big-ass explosion, so i can't imagine it's exactly acceptable in polite company

steep flower
steep flower
gilded raft

#

They should change the numbers on WS

smoky sparrow
#

always prepared is hella busted

#

and needs an internal cooldown

gilded raft
#

As it Is, it's great for low ammo count weapons

#

Love it with revolvers, double barrel

#

Less so for big mag autos

smoky sparrow
#

what perks for db?

gilded raft
#

Flak/maniac

#

Bleed melts poxwalkers anyway, if the shot doesn't kill them outright, and it doesn't do anything to carapace anyway

smoky sparrow
#

yeah thats what i got the choppa for

steep flower
gilded raft
#

Yeah, that too. It's weirdly good against mid range gunners as well

#

I usually waste a second shot on those just to be sure, but ive had bleed finish them off pretty often as well

smoky sparrow
#

this is what i came up with

#

any notes?

#

i still flip flop between get back in the fight and catch a breath

#

on pretty much every vet build

#

with survivalist

gilded raft
#

I prefer thrust on caxe over brutal momentum myself, saves you a hit on crushers

smoky sparrow
#

killing like 6 poxers in one m1 tho

#

😭

gilded raft
#

Kill 20 in 1 shotgun blast

smoky sparrow
#

also looks like i misclicked demo team for iron will

gilded raft
#

Also, 2 toughness 1 stam for curios will probably scale better for higher diff, you won't need the health with VoC

smoky sparrow
#

ye ur right

#

ill swap to another 17%

gilded raft
#

Otherwise yeah, that's exactly how i run it,, works great, lotsa fun

smoky sparrow
#

ill go try it rn

#

thx again!

gilded raft
#

Go get'em soldier!

Wait... He has iron will, no?

yeye i misclicked in the build editor

Oh yeah, iron will for sure, move that point over, you won't need the grenade spam, you got shotgun spam

i got iron will
