slow sky
#

you can get up to 25% from right side vet tree

broken spade
#

Is that faster than the original?

slow sky
#

considerably

tall torrent
#

Yes
Except WS helbore is a meme

vernal trench
#

@wardns i suck ass at the game please relay this to the devs!

tall torrent
#

So it’s rly more like 10%

slow sky
tall torrent
#

U gotta remember that WS doesn’t work with helbore the way it should

slow sky
#

and it becomes so much better

tall torrent
#

Helbore itself cannot use both buffs

#

The 15% doesn’t exist

vernal trench
#

Hellbore swaps like a bolter its insane

slow sky
tall torrent
#

It stacks from kill made while weapon in hand

#

U can’t activate melee specialist with a helbore in hand

slow sky
#

oh true
cringe

tall torrent
#

So melee specialist’s +15%Matk speed is not there

broken spade
#

yeah so with the 10%, is it faster or slower than old helbore?

#

I can't even remember if i grabbed the 10% with my helbore build

thin walrus
#

They reduced the attack speed of the bayonet, sounds harmless if you haven't played with this weapon, it literally breaks everything, in kill mode you can't kill mutants, you can't kill shieldmen while they're stunned because the bayonet is too slow, this nerf ruins all combinations, you can't kill bosses. I play with this weapon all day long, I have never felt so helpless, I literally have to take the Dueling Sword. And my skill with this weapon is very high, I've been playing with it since release.

tall torrent
broken spade
#

well
at least celerity stim affects it now

#

although you'd probably want to be shooting under celerity with helbore

#

does anyone have an old clip from pre-patch of just spamming the helbore stab into a boss?

tropic notch
#

Or use revolver

#

And speaking of vet and psyker buff

tall torrent
#

Psyker went from needing 50 nerfs to needing 80 nerfs

tropic notch
tall torrent
#

I don’t get mad anymore I’m just disappointed

tropic notch
#

I wish catch a breath was toughness regen instead of damage reduction

tall torrent
#

More so disappointed at vet buff 7/7 missing their mark

tall torrent
tropic notch
#

Did I read it wrong?

#

I probably did

tall torrent
tropic notch
#

No

tropic notch
#

Let me look at it again

tall torrent
broken spade
#

it has been toughness gain for years

tall torrent
#

Vostroyan veteran coat has better drip than Vostroyan zealot coat

#

Extremely rare for veteran cosmetic to look better than zealot cosmetic

#

But here we are

atomic void
#

yeah the vet set is the winner

tropic notch
#

I know that i thought they changed catch a breath

pseudo fiber
#

When I saw the aquila at the bottom I knew we were in good hands

tall torrent
#

Simply peak

faint beacon
#

@tall torrent I’ve never really bothered checking if this is true

broken spade
#

they changed it to be based off taking melee hits instead of distance

#

imo it's a pretty nice buff

faint beacon
#

But does Brittleness Bleed increase DOT like Rending Bleed

tall torrent
faint beacon
#

Or no completely different

atomic void
#

i hate the zealot helmet lol what is this

tall torrent
#

Did u even read my guide

proud marsh
#

Veteran helmet is so kino

faint beacon
#

I’ve skimmed sections smh

tall torrent
#

Should have memorized the first 22 pages

faint beacon
#

Besides at this point I may well wait on Steam Version also

slow spade
#

I'm just happy that stuff like VoC somehow live c:

tall torrent
#

Wait 3 months

faint beacon
#

22 pages of semi outdated info

slow spade
#

that means I don't need to change my build

tall torrent
#

Every month

#

I find a new reason

#

To delay it

#

So I can keep saying wait 3 months

faint beacon
#

Every month LMAO

slow spade
#

I'm surprised you can tolerate the Steam "guide" format

faint beacon
#

State mandated Vet Guide delay

slow spade
#

Darktide devs changing a variable by 0.1 to refuck the Vet guide

broken spade
#

the guide has infinite scope creep and will be delayed until the end of time

faint beacon
#

Anyways I can retain some info just others will be in there and just

#

Instantly fucking vanish

#

I should still probably go over it anyways

tall torrent
#

I can add u as contributor

#

If u want

faint beacon
#

Up to you I don’t really mind

tall torrent
#

I’m at like 45% completion

faint beacon
#

Anyways I gotta do that once I’m home again to force the info in my mind

tall torrent
#

Many melee weapons to go

#

Then enemies breakdown

#

Then curios

#

Then builds

#

Penances maybe

#

I’m kinda considering scrapping havoc stuff

#

Because there’s not much variety to veteran in havoc now

pseudo fiber
#

Your work is appreciated by the way path

tall torrent
#

With the new modifiers

#

I think new havoc is just power sword 24/7

#

It’s the best at confirming kills on elites

slow spade
#

power sword? I'm surprised to hear that compared to stuff like Rashad

#

but I suppose I haven't really read the Havoc changes

tall torrent
#

Move speed doesn’t matter as much when spawn system is reworked to punish rushing

slow spade
#

ah I'll need to read that in detail

tall torrent
#

Cleave stagger doesn’t matter as much with elite enraging mutator

slow spade
#

ah true, better to go for the fastest kill times possible from what I understood

tall torrent
#

New havoc is not dps check

faint beacon
#

Basically TLDR

tall torrent
#

But it does check ur dps in being able to confirm kills

faint beacon
#

Other classes have more impact

#

Unless you exist to supply ammo

tall torrent
pseudo fiber
#

also here are some more hats that inspired the various ones we see in Darktide.

I'm quite the fan of these Vostroyan folk

tall torrent
#

Ogryn out here putting 8 ragers into heavy stagger state per heavy sweep with Karsolas

#

Meanwhile vet takes 3x effort for 1/3 impact

slow spade
#

Vet needs buff ;)

tall torrent
#

Vet tree rework 2027

slow spade
#

dual power swords when?

tall torrent
#

Nah

#

Power sword is too strong but given how havoc is designed rn

pseudo fiber
#

But also having 2 would be sick

slow spade
#

(I want dual weapons in general)

tall torrent
#

They literally power crept it

#

To deal with player power creep

slow spade
#

yippie :D

faint beacon
slow spade
#

at least the new mode seems fun (even if its too easy)

#

I need to try the funny fps killer Ogryn lol

pseudo fiber
#

It's really fun

slow spade
#

"oops all grenades"

pseudo fiber
#

even if yeah it's too easy

slow spade
#

"regen a grenade every 20 sec"

Also, you can finally get full 7 wound buff now with it for Martyrdom Zealots, i think.

wanton dawn
#

implying mortis is a mod where you get killed

#

Oh also In The Thick Of It

I cant even get my game to load in.. mods are fucked this patch

sharp epoch
#

Gonna go modless like every patch for the first few days

wanton dawn
#

my mod list seems fine after updating

arctic rampart
#

I can get to menu and do everything but if I try to spawn in to pskarium or mission or lobby it crashes

sharp epoch
#

maybe its that mod that preloads the place

wanton dawn
#

Dark cache ?

sharp epoch
#

yup

arctic rampart
#

psyk ward?

wanton dawn
arctic rampart
#

I dont have dark ccache installed

sharp epoch
#

ok its most likely you need to update some of them

#

last time it was numeric ui not being updated crashing me

fast pagoda

I remember when the devs said last update on the blog that veteran was supposed to get a new weapon this update. There is no new vet weapon, im malding. Been waiting for melta since the beta.

I'm getting some errors at startup like DMF mod manager mod script require.lua medical crate.. but it appears I got it resolved. Thank you @wanton dawn ! MissionBrief is the one that was crashing it for me on load into map/lobby

Dunno what to do about these errors, but that seems typical for release day in this game.

4x80 + 61 is the god roll?

azure stream

it's a rounding ui error

it bothers my ocd too but

Were u talking about DC sword or heavy sword

nocturne mulch

Devil claw

tall torrent

It’s a little better, esp VII

I thought u meant heavy sword

nocturne mulch

I play via cloud streaming and I have 20ms latency to the server so 0.5 block window is a godsend lol! Was almost impossible to get it in 0.2

damn vostroyan skin look sick

Pretty sure live servers just round down. Is like why anything not 410+ for +3 stam is a lie. It's like 2.5-2.99. The tooltip/psykhanium rounds up. But live game rounds it down.

actually maybe he got hit by something that wasn't melee

simple jetty
#

So I'm going to play some DT tonight. The new update seems to add more fun

hollow rose
#

the new mode is really fun, but also very easy

#

Worth checking out anyway

simple jetty
#

I don't particularly care for a lot of details in the game, so if it's good for a veteran casual like me, it sounds like it's been a long time coming.

hollow rose
#

I mean, yeah, but as I wrote in zealot chat, when you play on damnation and get 4 bosses at the same time, and that doesnt feel like a challenge, then something is kinda wrong

#

I feel like you need to actively try to die on Mortis

simple jetty
#

I see. I suppose it balances out the near hell difficulty that is that came with the commissar. Still haven't beaten that once yet...

hollow rose
#

Havoc kinda forces a meta build on you

#

Full survivality or dont attempt

#

Ofc if you're really good player then you dont need to, but most, me included, arent, so yeah

#

I see 30+ havoc without shield psyker, I dont join lmao

simple jetty
#

Yeah, and this sounds like a fun bonus round. You can take the most meme load out possible?

hollow rose

I guess? I just find it awfully hard to imagine you can lose with healing grenades on vet, or 3 charges on shout

umbral scaffold

More like he would go in and out of warp

warm harbor
#

So Daemonhost

umbral scaffold
#

Yeah

warm harbor
umbral scaffold
#

Maybe he would just summon thing from warp not even spam enemies but rather something like warp portal opening near you and some demon tentacle trying to hit you for example

#

You could go very creative with him

#

It would be cool if you could see just a little of "other side" of warp

calm shard
umbral scaffold
#

Or he would create a small warp zone around him that would change environment that you fight in idk just thinking

#

But I would like for him to be horror like

calm shard
#

just like ogryn burst limiter override does

umbral scaffold
#

On my vet it was great

#

It can also help you to check Crit ratio

calm shard
#

and voltaic's instnat kill on shocked enemy works on bosses

which is especially funny with the electric smoke grenades shocking everything forever

almost compensates for literally none of the grenade talents (aside from the 20 second regen) being useful for smokes

Ew.

gilded raft

So any melee hit cancels them? Blocked or toughness dmg as well?

Yes

gilded raft

I get toughness dmg, that sorta makes sense, but blocking should probably not count as "being hit"

For sniper-like builds I'd probably consider them still, dodging is the main survival tool anyway

Drop 10%rending for weapon specialist or the 5% crit for focus target but if you go focus target you'll want 1 or 2 of its nodes as well

get demo team somehow

I guess I'd drop 10% melee attack speed and 25% toughness for demo team & focus target. If you got a slow weapon (powersword etc) you might want weapon specialist.. but taking points of attack speed won't do that 😉

Enraging + Ritual is probably the most pain to me

unreal nova
#

True.

#

Honestly, Ritual ruins alot.

trim badger
#

The idea is good I just think that the execution is a little flawed

#

You can't just add rituals while you also add a chance for a weakened boss, a normal boss trigger near and the possibility of twins/scab captain appearing as well in the same trigger

#

Also it's the amount of ritualists for each deamon host

Bolter/ knife speed vet still possible on high LVL havoc should I take reload node?

tall torrent
#

Morrow is really tall lol

trim badger
#

Knife/Duelling Sword/Powersword are your only real 3 options in havoc

#

So yes knife works

#

I use it myself cuz I like speed on my vet

umbral scaffold
#

And Bolter?

trim badger
#

Bolter is good, but I don't really know how to build around it

#

I exclusively use plasma on havoc

#

I also see lots of Recon

sinful swallow
#

Bolter you want puncture for sure and either surgical or pinning fire

#

It has decent ammo economy if you can reliably hit the headshot, it melts bosses

trim badger
#

Yeah, good for new havoc that throws 99999 bosses ar you

#

Instead of just 6 at max rank

sinful swallow
#

Yeah its worth having someone specifically gear for unyielding now

#

Taking bolter you really only give up a perk slot and 1 talent point to bring it to near max

umbral scaffold
#

Puncture I have I did use surgical before

trim badger
sinful swallow
#

Surgical helps make sure you drop all gunners in a crit headshot + a follow up. I actually need to test if the new kill zone is reliable enough to get back to 1shot breakpoints

trim badger
#

And try to change my talents for the 2 nodes that gives you massive dmg Boost against thay

why do u go survivalist for this build

Start the match on what wave 9 is and go up from there.

hybrid plover
real shoal

Like every couple melee kills ends up being an assured crit with a double barrel. So you're swapping it in constantly for a single shot that gets refilled

tall torrent
iron marten
#

No agile engagement rip

real shoal
#

When I run it, I do.

hybrid plover
#

This is quite literally the same build I have for my double barrel and it works wonders.

tall torrent
#

can't think of a reason to run survivalist for it outside of havoc or CIVI

#

too much ammo on the map alrdy

hybrid plover
iron marten
hybrid plover
#

It's real good if you're going Infiltrate though.

iron marten
#

I'd say just go on the right side of the tree instead

#

Survivalist (like Path said) is pretty overkill

real shoal
#

Though I do also aim to be mostly ammo drop agnostic.

#

Like I feel bad taking more than 1-2 big bags a map

hybrid plover
#

Issue is that going right side means you also have to take smokes.

iron marten
#

Only reason you'd run out of ammo is if you die and get revived and get stuck in the same spot for 5 mins

hybrid plover
#

And shredders have insane synergy with flechette.

hybrid plover
#

Kraks are bad.

real shoal
#

Kraks actually make sense in that build for extra monster damage and telling bulwarks to fuck right off.

#

More so than other builds anyhow

hybrid plover
#

I dunno. When I run this, combat knife and shredders do the job just fine. I always feel really limited when I try kraks.

#

Only time I even consider them as something worth using is for like

#

Beasts of Nurgle.

real shoal
#

I prefer shredders, totally

hybrid plover
#

And that's it.

surreal gust
#

I literally never took smokes after the penances anyways

real shoal
#

Any monster feels good to throw them at. To me double shotty feels bad to shoot at monsters.

surreal gust
#

So yeah I’ll just go for kraks

real shoal
#

Knife can do some work on them.

real shoal
#

But it's nice to just unload on them and move right along.

wild vortex
#

No need for Infil or Kraks

real shoal
#

That's my other double shotty build.

surreal gust
#

I’d prob take fire team but meh

real shoal
#

almost to a tee

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

I'm not a Havoc-only player.

#

It's just annoying when I throw a krak at a reasonable situation.

#

And then some dude with a dueling sword completely trivializes said situation.

real shoal
#

Monsters and bulwarks?

surreal gust
hybrid plover
#

It's really more that kraks just don't hold up atm because of how slow the detonate time is.

#

If they just made that faster, they'd be so much better.

#

Hell, make them impacts.

#

They're still not gonna be the best grenade for general use even then.

wild vortex
#

Sounds like you're complaining about your kills being "stolen"

tall torrent
#

don't rely on krak for smth within poking distance, idk

real shoal
#

I still think swapping damage on the ds4 to the ds5 would do a lot. It's slower on heavies, so not nearly as spammable.

tall torrent
#

not enough

#

all 3 need nerfs

hybrid plover
real shoal
#

I've toyed with the 5 and it feels much better into armor. Takes a couple extra hits to kill crushers.

#

Isn't just a poit poit

hybrid plover
#

It's like, why would I take this thing when I might not even be able to use it?

#

And it's not an every game basis.

#

Of course not but, it's enough that it just makes the blitz feel... not great a lot of the time.

sharp epoch
#

reason kraks arent good is theyre for like only crushers or bulwarks and it only kills 1 maybe 2

tropic notch
hybrid plover
#

And again, detonate time is just so slow that even if you try to throw it at something at a distance, someone could just end up obliterating what you tried to kill anyway.

If they just shortened that, I think kraks would be in a much better spot.

tall torrent
tropic notch
hybrid plover
#

You'd be surprised how much that 15% Elite damage actually helps since they're the beefiest things you have to worry about usually.

tall torrent
#

doesn't matter that much for DB breakpoint

hybrid plover
#

It matters with the bleed.

tall torrent
#

which enemy

sharp epoch
tall torrent
#

there're some weapons that benefit from superiority complex in breakpoints, but that's not a long list

hybrid plover
#

Anything. Because the bleed can let you basically ignore the breakpoints with the lingering damage, especially if you're constantly proccing it.

Really, the one thing about that build I'd say. You might wanna trade Riposte for Flesh Tearer to really max out the bleed potential.

#

Especially since if you're really fast about swapping, you can get your melee kills, switch, shoot, proc bleed on a crusher and abuse your Uncanny to do some really heavy damage with just the bleed alone.

tropic notch
tall torrent
#

agile engagement does more than superiority complex in this case

sharp epoch

ur looking at a gun with basically lowest talent dependency

precision strikes on shotgun is trolling

it's the knife though.

dusty bluff

Dont need it

knife good

dusty bluff

Knife does mad damage alone without it

hybrid plover

Knife has insane weak spot damage and that gets boosted way up by Precision Strikes.

#

It's one of the best weapons with that specific talent.

#

2 points to get it which is bad though

dusty bluff

If you want mad dmg, get serrated and chuck on Mercy Killer

no stam regen delay node for knife is kind of crazy lol

but id have to take close quarter killzone 🤮

hybrid plover

Just run 3 stam curios hue

sharp epoch

its about the regen not the total stma

dusty bluff
#

Or Invigorated and run the block poke meta

tall torrent
#

knife's dps is pretty dependent on stam regen delay

red robin
#

For db?

tall torrent
red robin
#

Why not just get the 20% stamina on weapon specialist

#

Instead of the delay node

tall torrent
#

cuz it's not as good

hybrid plover
#

Because stamina delay affects your regen at all times, and significantly so.

tall torrent
#

knife max dps is PA spam

hybrid plover
#

PERSONALLY. I don't feel the need for it myself. But I get why it's a top pick with the knife.

#

Mk6 push attacks are bonkers.

dusty bluff
#

It's not that required.

red robin
#

What’s ur perks and blessings for knife

real shoal
#

I never did switch my vet knife to 6. It's 6 on vet and psyker though

hybrid plover
#

I would 100% recommend switching it on Vet.

#

Especially since it's also a lot better for horde clear, which Vet particularly benefits from.

#

You still have great single target with push attacks.

red robin
#

I just like the movement on the charged heavy on the mk3

real shoal
#

Probably, just never messed with it.

red robin
#

Does the mk6 have that?

#

I haven’t used it in a while

hybrid plover
#

It does but it's a vanguard cleave for the first in the chain.

#

Which honestly, is not a bad thing.

dusty bluff
#

Nope, but it does have its own move tech. Mostly Heavy block cancel depending on the anim

#

or moveset of the combo

hybrid plover
#

...What? You still have the forward momentum with the heavies with the Mk6.

tall torrent
red robin
#

Neat

#

Love to see it

hybrid plover
#

It's virtually the same thing.

dusty bluff
#

Tad slower but still good

tall torrent
#

u can say it's technically slower
if u can sprint 156m+ without running out of stamina and sprinting in a straight line with perfectly timed heavy atks

red robin
#

Mobility is dump stat ye?

hybrid plover
#

If it's slower, it's so marginal that it basically doesn't matter.

dusty bluff
hybrid plover
#

You're still a speed fiend with either or.

tall torrent
red robin
#

Movement speed don’t mean shit if skirmisher is anti movement tech

dusty bluff
#

From PSykanium or field operated?

tall torrent
#

the reason mk3 is "technically faster" is not even really faster

red robin
#

I hate that the talent is so my playstyle but clunky to use

tall torrent
#

it's because mk3 has slower atk speed with heavy atks

#

u get to hold heavy atk longer

broken spade
#

if you can tell the difference between mk3 and mk6 movement speed, you are some kind of alien creature

tall torrent
#

mk6 comparatively holds shorter due to having higher atk speed (and better dps lol)

hybrid plover
#

like you're not even a human being if you can tell the difference

#

Straight up.

dusty bluff
#

It depends on release timing too.

red robin
#

Mfs built different

real shoal
#

It does -feel- a bit slower to me, but it really doesn't amount to anything.

dusty bluff
#

^

#

That. Regardless if its slower or not, the difference is like 1 or 2 metres less.

tall torrent
#

it's not even 1-2m less

dusty bluff
#

Builds up overtime in a race perhap. Then we account for latency.

tall torrent
#

it's so small of a difference that the exact scenario of mk3 being measurably faster is not available in the game

#

move speed curve whenever u turn and this affects things

#

so has to be straight line

dusty bluff
#

Pretty much what I mentioned.

tall torrent
#

u also have to not run out of stamina

#

and it ends up being 150m+ distance

hybrid plover
#

I think the only scenario where this would even matter.

Is if you were like playing solo and completely breaking the game by outrunning everything.

tall torrent
#

not even enclavum bridge is that long lol

tall torrent
#

and mk3 is only "faster" by attacking slower

hybrid plover
#

Then yeah like, there really isn't a difference that's actually measurable.

#

Like if it's that marginal that 99.9% of the time, it's not even an applicable difference, it might as well not exist.

dusty bluff
#

Yeah.

hybrid plover
#

Or rather... 100%. Because if you're getting bogged down by enemies, you'll never run a distance where it matters, ever.

dusty bluff
#

I guess it comes down to, the two fastests runners and which one bites the dust

hybrid plover
#

Who abuses move tech better. Not the knife marks.

dusty bluff
#

Knife marks has advatanges.

tall torrent
#

mk3 is simpler, mk6 is better

dusty bluff
#

Agreed.

#

Much more stylish too.

hybrid plover
#

I think. There's one case where the mk3 can shine better.

#

Stealth builds. Because of the opening heavy and how backstab damage is applied specifically for the combat knives.

#

And stealth lets you get backstabs a lot easier.

tall torrent
#

not relevant in game context

#

doesn't change breakpoints

real shoal
#

I kinda liked 3 on zealot charge because it felt more consistent. The 6s charge heavy just didn't do it for me.

But for most situations, I've come to prefer 6.

hybrid plover
#

Not for Vet at least. I know Shroudfield can result in some absurd numbers. But Infiltrate doesn't have a damage multiplier like Shroudfield does.

tall torrent
#

same exact 1 taps

haughty marlin
#

I don't really care about knife lunge tech on zealot when you have a billion stamina and sprint speed already

#

plus relic blade exists

dusty bluff
#

Ngl, knife on zealot is like the easiest thing to do known to man. Doing it on Psyker and Vet seems more satisfying.

haughty marlin
#

I mean relic blade can m1 until everything without carapace is dead

hybrid plover
#

hot take. I feel like I perform better with the knife on vet than the the dueling sword.

haughty marlin
#

even on havoc

hybrid plover
#

Knife with the right blessings can do it all. Dueling sword always feels kind of lacking for horde clear for me.

haughty marlin
#

the best horde clear is infinite cleave plasma KEKW_ogryn

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

I know the numbers don't line up but maybe it's just how I play that affects this as well since I try to lean on maxxing out bleed damage as much as possible.

haughty marlin
tall torrent
#

plasma hipfire cleave is 50

hybrid plover
#

Not infinite. Just absurdly high.

tall torrent
#

50 is 5 scab maulers/ragers

haughty marlin
#

20 bodies and through walls is plenty of cleave

hybrid plover
#

Like if you're hitting trash, it's virtually unnoticeable.

unreal nova
tall torrent
#

there're specific things with infinite cleave

haughty marlin
#

you can stand at airlocks with stance up and kill the whole next room pogryn

hybrid plover
#

But elites? You'll notice it.

#

Hit mass matters here.

haughty marlin
#

I haven't screwed with it on high havoc but I've never had any issues with auric maels

tall torrent
#

Even “infinite cleave” is not technically infinite cleave lol

#

There’s a hard limit on how many enemies can be struck by a single atk in this game

haughty marlin
#

so is shredder autopistol good now

narrow frost
#

always has been

haughty marlin
#

I need an excuse to switch off run and gun pistol zealot

narrow frost
#

its not a kill every enemy type, its an anti maniac/utility ranged weapon

hybrid plover
#

It was never really bad. People just always knocked it as bad because it's not good against armor.

#

Maniacs and unyielding? Very good though.

#

Just use a melee weapon that is good for armor and you're set.

#

Not every weapon has to do it all.

narrow frost
#

Exactly

haughty marlin
#

I just wish it also had stripped down

#

so I could take 9 stamina and never drop below ranged immunity

hybrid plover
#

If anything, it's probably one of the best boss killing weapons as of now with the finesse multiplier changes.

#

Just spray away at the weak spot and watch it melt.

haughty marlin
#

yeah, especially with the bonus monstrosity node huh

#
  • target focus stacks
hybrid plover
#

Oh yeah. I saw a snippet of someone testing that in the psykanium. It was beautiful.

#

Honestly, I feel it would pop off with weapon specialist too with the heightened movement speed curve and sprint to fire.

#

Lets you keep a really good momentum switching from melee to ranged.

arctic rampart
#

we talking about shredders.. for real for real?

#

or is this like "lawbringer shotgun is awesome" for real

hybrid plover
#

I mean the autopistol got a buff. It was actually a pretty good buff.

arctic rampart
#

yeah I didn't try it yet... fighting mods most of yesterday. do you combo it with psword or ds4 or what

hybrid plover
#

It probably isn't going to be like, game changing. But the weapon was never that bad to begin with. Again, people just always knocked it because it's bad against armor but that's a circumventable issue.

arctic rampart
#

I like hipfire run & gun types personally. one reason I like recon and plasma cause u can hipfire them quick

#

not gonna mention the Z word

hybrid plover
#

I haven't tried it in full application. But I have used it in the psykanium with a combat knife testing it out against certain mobs.

#

It actually feels really good to shoot.

arctic rampart
#

shit I gotta take off my russian black hat and put on the beta hat if Im gonna use the shredder tho

haughty marlin
#

there's definitely a lot of negative reinforcement when you take autopistol and get wiped by a crusher/mauler pack tbf

hybrid plover
#

Only thing is, flak and carapace. Might as well not.

haughty marlin
#

I could see that putting some people off yeah

hybrid plover
#

Well yeah. Because it's not meant for that.

arctic rampart
#

ohh.. its (still) bad against flak? thats not great 😉

haughty marlin
#

at least you can kneecap maulers, right?

hybrid plover
#

Well, it's not as bad. The finesse multiplier helps.

haughty marlin
#

+specialist +flak ?

hybrid plover
#

But you should avoid it if you can because it still does feel underwhelming

#

But anything that's flesh will just melt.

arctic rampart
#

I'll give it a try! I gotta do the stupid mastery penance anyway. Might as well craft like 20 or 30 shredders for fodder to make hadron happy

ancient path
#

do you guys think fatshark will remember that veteran is a class in the game, too

unreal nova
hybrid plover
#

The one thing I hope, is that they give the tree a touch up like they did Ogryn.

#

Just let any blitz link into any side of the tree.

#

There are so many build possibilities that are neutered by the way the tree's pathed.

hybrid plover
#

Hell just do that for all of the classes. Build variety is better for the game's longevity.

arctic rampart
#

People were saying gets hot wasnt actually nerfed, but I dont trust fatshark. Anyone using plasma, recording crit%? Or know where to look in the source scode?

pseudo fiber
#

Why are we bitching they gotta fix zealot tree first we'll be fine until then

hybrid plover
#

Also, lemme just rephrase for the autopistol.

#

If you're hitting weakspots, it can shred flak too now.

arctic rampart
#

.... are you a mk1 shovel gremlin or some other shovel gremlin

pseudo fiber
#

If it wasn't 50% before it never was following this change

arctic rampart
# pseudo fiber

I saw that, but I don't believe them. Game companies always fuck up this kind of thing or sneak nerf in wide changes like this

hybrid plover
#

Always mk1.

#

I can never get around the flip shovels.

arctic rampart
#

thats right. heavy bonks are the way.

hybrid plover
#

As long as you know the push attack is actually really damn strong and you know how to chain it, you'll be just fine for crushers.

arctic rampart
#

Eh, dont u just special stagger them

hybrid plover
#

Special stagger into push attack.

#

Procs your skullcrusher for the big damage.

arctic rampart
#

How do I know skullcrusher is worth it over decimator

inland orchid
#

Depends how much you’re not swinging at air

hybrid plover
#

Because decimator-

#

Yeah.

#

And sometimes, your teammates will actively be the reason why you can't take as much advantage of it.

arctic rampart
#

Someone recommend a mod that tracks debuffs but then its been broken for stagger since months, no updates. So dunno how to actually know skullcrusher is doing diddly squat. Maybe if I put in a lot of time in testing and record damages but meh

hybrid plover
#

While skullcrusher, your teammates can effectively raise your DPS significantly.

arctic rampart
#

Oh I see, so teammate staggers are the key concept

hybrid plover
#

And yours. Any staggered enemies take way more damage.

arctic rampart
#

I was thinking I dont stagger a lot with special.

#

Most of the time if I'm using shovel its cause I'm memeing with recon-onslaught or some other stupid spec

inland orchid
#

Gotta combo them with the special rather than only using the special

hybrid plover
#

^

inland orchid
#

Build up impact

hybrid plover
#

And also intertwine pushing. Uncanny helps a lot in that regard as well.

inland orchid
#

Is why I like spaming H1 before I special strike

#

Smacks ragers and crushers silly

arctic rampart
#

I'm pretty shit at push attacks. I can do them but I'm really shit at managing stamina then.

hybrid plover
#

Do you use any stamina curios?

arctic rampart
#

I use a +3 stamina curio and a +1 from top middle usually

hybrid plover
#

Might wanna consider either giving yourself a second or even third, or taking a stamina regen delay node.

arctic rampart
#

( I value 33% toughness damage reduction + 1 stamina over +25% draw speed significantly)

hybrid plover
#

Vet can be pretty loaded with toughness without any curios at all.

arctic rampart
pseudo fiber
#

yeah and it's because of how the data reads

arctic rampart
#

Thanks. I haven't used plasma in a few months .. good to hear its still really strong

Real talk, even if it was nerfed.

#

It's kind of deserved.

arctic rampart

You shut your mouth!

hybrid plover

It's... kind of in a league of its own.
