It’s probably too taxing but I did try it out and it
full of children
Telling you
Shocking for Shredder pistol
Shredder has always been good
People who don't understand say it's bad
the science is point front towards enemy
Aim at head
dont let go of the trigger
It’s got good finesse
see thats what surprises me
Boss go bye bye
it doesnt look like a weapon with good finesse
i just cant get into using braced autos
idk
even with marksmans focus
and exy stance
its like
Look I’m just saying we should gaslight the community into thinking the vigils are what they used to think of the shredder
So I can solely benefit from its buffs
yeah, it's kinda annoying
🚬
i feel psychotic
i struggle with vigilants a bit
Fool proof plan
like if your team isn't on point in clearing further threats
you generally feel a bit hampered
im using born leader with the catch a breath changes for a toughness regen build for team
marksmen focus tunnel vision increasing it by the stack amount
@narrow frost it’s clicked to me I gotta test how funny this might be but
MMF Tunnel Vision + Ins Barrage on Shredder
truee
But funny
born leader works even if you have full toughness
Me firing my gun for two seconds to immediately generate toughness
dont you feel tougher holding a gun and going fuller auto with it?
firerate stacking achyls twin link
but you choose the tiniest axe
Make sure to do a 66% ammo 74% collat if you can
So you can abuse 1 shell per stack on Blaze etc
with that attack speed, tac axes are basically the fuller auto of melee weapons 
Is that the perfect stat distribution on crit ripper?
Yeah because of Blaze Away stacks
Interesting
At 66 you get 20 ammo in the mag
So you stack with 1 shot
With 21 in the mag you need 2 shots
Something along those lines
Ripper in general
Plasma and Ripper have hard to obtain perfect stat distris
Well shit, I guess I gotta reroll my rippers
Got a 71 TR / 70 CR Plasma already, which is good enough for me lol
Here I am with 3 rippers with 60 collateral like a chump
19
At 66 you get 19 ammo in the mag
Yez
I mean I like tac axe as well, at least the W + left click spam one. But it is TINY. TINY AXE + the most massive mini gun you can find?
19 is perfect for cavalcade as well
And inspiring
So do all the 10% mag spent blessings count each "10%" discreetly rather than an actual percentage of the mag?
With a 19 mag the "10%" is rounded down to 1, so after 5 shots you've hit 50% despite having 14/19 shots left?
If so, that's the silliest
Yez
It rounds down
Mate Veteran, what melee weapons the class have that can make you feel good?
If path doesn't say taxe, smh
He didn't said Taxe
Which vet shovels are good? Mk VII?
1 and 7
Shock Mauls are pretty average
Deathblow and Headtaker presuming?
Chainsword is more of a horde clearing weapon
Tactical Axes need a bump to be good
Don't remember about Chain Axe
Chainsword is fun but mid
Don't remember about Dclaw
Chaxe is the most satisfying chain weapon and not even close
Shovels are average
If tac axe did 2x their current unyielding and carapace damage, and did enough damage to kill things in 1-2 hits to use BM better without tremendous talent investment, I would put it in top 5 easily
I know it's not top 5, but it's so good
It can't compared to broken things rn
tac axe propaganda is real
But it's so close
that doesnt mean they shouldnt use it 
Sooooooo close
ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-axe
Small buffs to it easily could make it Rashad tier
Max attack speed zealot makes a lot of mid weapons feel silly fun
Taxe and dclaw both are dumb lawnmower weapons on a FOTF Marty build
Psyker and vet can make a lot of mid weapons good
Can anyone drop me a plasma gun build
Veteran can make a lot of guns go from mid to good
Whilst Zealot is for Melee
Psykers pure buffs and everything can very easily let them get away with a lot
Do you have a build ?
For?
Plasma gun ?
Ask path cause I’m like the #1 plasma hater
what blessings are good for the power sword?
sunder/brumentum + pc4
id personally just always go with BM
what's pc4?
Real question is why are playing Vet in Havoc
power cycler tier 4
what does that mean?
power cycler is a blessing that adds a swing to your powered state
tier 4 gives you a second swing
i see i see
They are not good ?
so I'd get 3 swings in total powered? or just 2 swings?
3
2 after the third level of blessing
Not First ones
maxed out blessing would be 3 powered swings then?
correct
Yes
Vet is probably the weakest class right now, but not by much, they all feel good now finally since the Ogryn was buffed
Taxe with agile engagement + ws is pretty good ngl
where is vet weak? the class feels rather "jack of all trades" to myself, but i could be wrong
i main zealot, but I like trying out every class
so rn I'm playing around with vet setup
Ogryn and psyker are just crazy rn, zealot is amazing, and vet is "just" great
got a friend who proper mains vet too, so I wanna learn the stuff that's good on vet so I can tell her about it
especially when we start doing havoc with the whole group
The top left portion of the tree (before nades), Exec stance, and marksman keystone are the worst parts of the tree, very niche use case. Everything else is great
it's just been powercreeped over time
Who ???
The changes to havoc in the new season with the old meta outside of existing for ammo
You’re far more detrimental
@tall torrent
i see i see
honestly though? lore accurate guardsman, reliable but not the strongest in any situation
What would be best composition ? Still 1 psykers 2 book ?
Ogryn is an easy pick now
Not really. That's still great but it's main purpose was to cheese all the shooters. That isn't the issue anymore
Insanely good team anchor after rework
Any combo will work now
Basically Ogryn and Vet swapped places with
Who I’m kicking the most out of strike teams
1 of each class would probably feel the best ngl

So toxic
@tall torrent when you get a chance pls can you drop me a plasma gun build 🤞
Community so dead
But it really doesn't matter as much as it used to, main thing is that the players know their class
Still searching for the medic/support Veteran build
just play VoC with field improv
I’m just saying it’s a truth nuke you’ll only need vet for Surv now
Cause Ogryn is going to be the Staple frontliner
VOC, Born Leader, Out for Blood, maybe field improv if you really want to commit to "support"
Ty but I heard about a build regen toughness of others with the New node to regen toughness without to be in melee
i also like i believe it's "For the emperor" or whatever where on skill use everyone gains short range damage with melee and ranged for a while
Tho even if you kill stuff, stealth is anti-support 
special murder is very helpful yes
weapons has up to 3 marks that change dps, attack pattern and their special move
Is that slug or normal
Best CC is death but VB still best staff.
Agripinna is slug
people tell the different marks apart by name or number
do you guys fw the lasgun?
which one
infantry lasgun
its good to just chill and go pew pew
Unironically just considering doing a Helby Exe build for havoc and dedicating myself to killing elites and specials
kinda based
Look id rather make it easier on the psyker and Ogryn to nuke the bosses and hordes
Cause they do that job better
nah listen man i play squad leader veteran with a chainsword and laspistol, i get your vision
what melee weapon
Any
any preferences u have
thats not really a thing in this game unfortunately
it is if you know the maps
there are always times you need to fight in melee but if you hang back a little you dont need to be always in hordes of chaff
Hmm maybe chain sword 🗡️
this is what I use for plasma
Ty 🙂
bUT ThE MetA
jk
i play the infantry lasgun and shovel quite a lot still
but it kinda feels like a all around special at nothing kinda build
its kind of annoying trying to shoot things but constantly getting harrassed by the basic enemies and having to switch to the shovel
and not having any time to shoot the specials
but the lasgun is bad against armour still so it feels like a bad single target weapon at the same time
Kraks
what melee pairs well with db shotgun
Any
i love recon for gunners
cus i wanna stick to the left side of the tree
of all types
the trick with lasguns is you gotta try for headshots, I only use recon lasguns for this reason because I'm a terrible shot
Crits may be your only jole here
the recon lasgun is probably better than the infantry in pretty much everything
but I've seen people use helbore and infantry to great effect
but i dont like the automatic lasgun
Right now yes
okay valid
cus i wanna rp as the og guardsman
Mk VII is better against armor
tbf, recon lasgun is also used by guardsmen in lore, just elysians, but I feel u :>
Doesn't get Ghost
high damage variant?
it's the mid damage variant
infantry lasgun is good at snipey snipey
high damage variant is currently overkill for anything you'd want to shoot with a lasgun
Would you use the same with PS?
is the fast firing variant good?
why not
i didnt think it was good because i thought it couldnt 1 hit basic enemies
though maybe i just didnt upgrade it enough
probably the best one
Not sure how impactful trench fighter and WS are with plasma/PS over, say, bring it down + focus target + redirect fire
it's quite noticeable
i use a crit build and basically just spam around their head with the m1a, it works eventually 
otherwise once again lore accurate guardsman with a flashlight
Slow draw speed weapons and low mobility melee
Benefits
Well ahem “slow”
It’s not
whats the best perks for infantry lasgun?
im currently running ranged crit damage and ranged weak spot damage
i use flak and maniac
is crit chance worth it?
not really since you can run deadshot
i dont run deadshot
what enemies are manic for?
ragers, flamers, and mutants
Maniac lets you consistently 2 shot ragers iirc cause of las weapon dealing with maniac better
flak lets you deal with most every other special since they usually have armor
anything without armor the lasgun is good against anyway
though dont bother shooting carapace armor (Crushers, mauler helmets, scab rager bodies)
Ranged weakspot damage/CRIT damage perk is not worth using due to how FS calculates damage
An extra 25% against armor type is better
In this case
Flak Maniacs
And flamer.
Wait you said flamer.
I meant trapper.
Oops.

ah yes also trappers
holy fuck
did they really still not fix the inventory bug?
unbelievable
ah yes
of course, it's fixed by a mod because fatshart couldn't be arsed to fix the fucking bug themselves
Which?
the bug that this mods fixes
Thank you friend
yeh np, was updatign my mods and saw it
the issue was bugging the shit out of me because i'm constantly revising my weapons
Same lol
I actually assumed that one of my other inventory mods was busting it, and not that Fatshark dropped the ball on the inventory in general
My mistake
tbf with most games mods are prob the first culprit for bugs.... but this is a fatshart game
this issue actually first came up
when fatshart issued a XBOX hotfix for connectivity issues
not making this up
somehow they managed to break the fucking inventory UI during that hotfix
What a saviour of a mod
Holy finally
I'm still waiting for crosshair mod to return tho 😔
typical lmao
No not that one
Crosshair hud
What is the optimal stat distribution for plasma again?
perfect stats are
80 dmg
80 stopping power
80 ammo
68~69 thermal resist
71~72 charge rate
unarmored
flak
gets hot
rising heat
older
flak gives 1 bodyshot both shotgunners
with minimal talent investments
u decide if that's worth it for u
Sounds purty good
Is plasma decent with weakspot talents?
Running it in an exec stance build at the request of a friend
it needs precision strikes
works but not recommended
it's just shy of major bodyshot 1 tap breakpoints with exe stance
yea
Who's queen?
No clue
yeah cat was a 1000+ vet if i remember correctly queen is probably wrong
didn't grind, was updating guide
why
im wondering whats the optimal build bc the new modifiers are really bad into frag spam at least
i swapped to kraks now for the boss spam
it depends
u need strong boss tools
ofc
but vet has to make big compromises to get that
u directly drop mixed horde clear by quite a bit by not taking frags
and the only good economically viable boss dps gun for vet is infernus recon, and only rly for shooting at BoN
Finally
the healing and rage thing also go against frag spam like im unwittingly activating the rage buff for them
yea, bring a power sword with BM
shooting bosses most the time for me is a waste of ammo especially for havoc so its mostly ps dueling
toll wants u to confirm kills as best u can
Does path even play havocs?
yea
I just don't have time to grind
none of my characters are named that lol
Yea but he reminded me of u
awwww
What havoc are u on now blubery
the hell that is 30-32
and ive played like 12+ games
As soon as i stopped playing party finder i satrted winning
I think i found the issue
pubs are not remotely rdy for new havoc
I think I'm missing something in my premade teamcomp too
What is
like they're all good, but I think either taunt or electric spam is necessary
bring 1 of each class
ogryn prob the best havoc boss dps class rn?
branx / rumbler
Yeah but he runs the knife 😭
its braindead m1 spam that folds on actual harder targets
rumbler is not incompatible with cleaver
u don't have to run both branx and rumbler
and tbh
branx is not that hard to learn from cleaver IV
it's almost the same combos lol
did u see the branx boss clip I posted
I saw it its just special light spam
yea u don't have to do heavy overhead
it's nice for banking dmg on hit but not required
branx is 3 hits for every melee elite
Is it with slaughterer and headtaker or slaughterer and the special hit blessing
toll wants u to confirm kills
the stagger immunity can actually be loopholed in a way
because if u put elite enemy into stagger on the hit that brings their hp <50%
Nothing is ever necessary
they won't instantly magically recover from that stagger
headtaker + torment
I think torment is a very legit top pick for branx
U can literally run the most random and aggressive team comp and make it work
U just need every teamate to hold their own or atleast 2 or 3 of them
u can get 4~5 buffed light overheads in with torment's 3.5s duration
Not on the new havoc it seems
quite a bit better than banking dmg with thrust in my experience
Yes on the new havoc
But less experienced players u can rely on shit like golden toughness if u really need it
I might try that out
Idk I haven't gotten past 32 even its hell even with a premade group
Well idk how to say this except ur premade group isnt holding their own enough
Have you reached 40 yet?
this is how its been looking
1 of each class
shout vet, zealot on book, ogryn bullrush, and bubble psyker
vet is plasma/ps, zealot is relic blade or ds + flamer, ogryn is knife/stubber, psyker is trauma/ds
If u guys got bubble and book and shout and losing theres something seriously wrong there
Damn
If you want even more defense, a tauntgryn could be good
Idk how that with shield fares on havoc though
I dont think defence is the rpoblem here
U just need to stop making mistakes and dying
Tauntgryn with shield can hold its own fairly well
A good one ofc
Ye
What class do u play
Vet 😭
taunt is quite valuable for holding aggro
not sure what stubber ur team is running
probably gorg heavy stubber
trauma doesn't scale as well into new havoc as before due to not being able to confirm kills as easily
inferno still busted so use that prob
Damn
The psyker ain't switching 😭
Idk i cant tell u what ur team is doign wrong without seeing the gameplay
shes very stubborn
Dont switch
Just get better
U can literally run 4 ogryns or 4 vets or the most random comp and win
Class isnt the issue here
U guys need to work on teamwork most likely
With book and shout u will be dripped in golden toughness whole game through theres no way to die
Well ghats why
Its like watching mister e losing with 2 books or 2 shouts and a book
And a bubble
Actually insane and mind boggling
tell them to practice fighting bosses solo
with creature spawner
Or panic to heck and somehow is alive for the entire time at 2 HP.
Does new catch a breath allow you to sit in a tox bombers gas cloud?
i can test
Yea, you might take like one tick of pox every few seconds though
yup still works
it outdamages it at damnation at least
so yes corruption
:(
Would yall buy?
Yes, if you will use it I will buy it for you
Me? No.
Switched to PS on this build for Havoc am I missing any nodes for breakpoints?
im down to run havoc
Sleepvoc
the power sword doesnt turn off anymore from basic hits?
It might if you get hit when attacking with it on. Heard it does that.
No?
Just played a game in the new wave mode with a veteran running the boltgun, and have they buffed it or something? Died a few times and got to spectate the guy and he was hosing everything and hardly ever reloading. I remember the boltgun being widly ammo innefficient so it took me by surprise
there's an upgrade that gives you infinite ammo while using exe stance
probably that
ive been having good fun with the antaxe combat axe
i gotta say it's a very satisfying weapon
I'm not seeing it, probably blind lol. Do you happen to know the name of the infinite ammo upgrade for exe stance?
it's only in the new mode
ohhh that explains it. So that's why this guy went hog wild with a boltgun and made it look godly when I've never seen it do anything like that before
yeah new mode has really silly broken upgrades
that'd be insanely broken in the normal modes lol
sad, got me excited to try and build it but oh well
but bolter is still really solid in the main mode
by solid, it's one of the best vet guns lol
its not bad, i just hate feeling like I constantly have to conserve ammo. You can never really let loose and just mow down a horde of chaff, even though it feels sick to do so
Yep
You basically never want to use ranged to mow down chaff. You can go staff psyker for that if you want
shock maul blessings?
It was cool
I miss it
what about hammerblow
Why
I'd consider Falter before that if anything
That too
impact?
Impact is just stagger and smaul has a dedicated stun taser
whats trhe best chainsword for horde
It does nothing to boost damage directly
true
Both of them
Plus dead ass, smaul doesn’t have the cleave and radius to mass stagger anyways so the value you’ll get is low
personaly I think the 12g has a little better horde clear
smaul?
Shock maul
you're lucky they weren't all gunkers 
if they were all gunkers I'd buy a lottery ticket actually.
For the chain axe. does the special attack apply the brittle stack from thunderous multiple times? or does it only apply one time for the swing/cut?
i've never played w a gunker before
they're even more common now because of all the stupid fucking buffs fatshart decided to slap onto them
it maxes at 40%, but idr if you have to stick through the entire animation
So the one swing does apply multiple hits then?
it's only on the special activation, so you can only apply the debuff on one target

@narrow frost I think I've cooked up another evil fucked up Vigil Build
cause I managed to top score with a newgryn in my server
oh naur
For all I care you could probably use taxe with it seeing it has RS in the build
But I can confirm from playing
but I think its unfortunately multiplicatively
these synergize to comedic effect
Happy you like the picture I made hahahah
The Rinda truth nuke I saw floating in here and immediately stole it
cause I've been saying "truth nuke" for the past 2 weeks LMAO
It's Rodin because of the Havoc bug
Where the Bomber Lieutenant's Rodin bombs might just instantly max your corruption
Grandfather's Truth Nuke
Exactly
I kid you not I made this in a weak mindset (a few hours ago) of realizing how Veteran gets stomped by newgryn now
and just went
fuck it lets see how stupid this does
I've been using the helbore a lot lately and it just feels like I wish there was a middle ground for it that existed.
I use the fast firing one killing elites feels bad. I use the slow firing one killing shooters feels bad (and it's shitty bayonet too) I thought the one inbetween would fix that but no idk helbore is a weird gun
I like Vigil I just wanted to use my new helbore skin
The charge it just
Fucks with me a little
Maybe if Helbore passively charged and you could shoot it? Idk I hate holding it
TLDR hold and release on gun feels weird I'n not using a bow
That's just Helby's
besides the middleground for an actual Las weapon is the ILAGs
and we all know how everyone feels about those
(White bread gun)
Congrats
What build
Let me get it
but helbore doesn't have dogshit maniac adms
half a mag to kill a rager
I dont see the issue of "Half a mag" when I literally click on a head and drop it within 1 if it crits or 2 bursts
But honestly... HAVOC 39 was harder than HAVOC 40.
And a 1 hour match on HAVOC 38 lol
The fact you're dropping Precision strikes is fucking insane
free 30% damage on your weapons permanently
Determined on plasma?
WHOOPS
Lol
Misclicked lol
Oh good
Lmao
I exited my game already. Using lantern.
No way can i EVER not bring Percision Strikes.
Love HAVOC
It's.... as hard as it is, it's the only mode where it really requires team effort.
Even in Auric, i can just run ahead and leave my team8s and just win it. BUT GOSH, this is badass
Remove Deranking and havoc is legit perfect
Yea, just keep the difficulty.
I like this constant stress, this "OH my gosh, crushers and bulwarks. HOpe no one dies", 5 bosses at once! x3
Gravitational Grenade wasn't as good as I'd hoped.
The ammount of nades you generate in HAVOC by the way!
Much faster than sometimes lol
I love lethal bolt pistol in havoc for that reason
FYI, i play smokes
I don't like using Shredders or Krak. But... this was getting WAY too hard.
But... now that i appreciate Shredder nades a bit more.... i may consider the bolt pistol lol
oh great
error code 2014
and stuttering
this game really just gets better with every update
Deranking?
ppl complain
U would think that but turns out not really
True, but i guess i'm not at that level yet.
Regardless, 40 is mine! And that was rough AF~
Managed to Duo your way through!?
No one to do it with yet
I think ill try it on na but thats 150 ping
Its gonan be rough
Very rough!
Ye
Determined doesn’t matter for plasma
Even on low ping it will be
I missclicked you fool! I'm not that dumb! lol
ill get true solo mod and see how far i get before i die
I sometimes question that 
Good point~
Still, this is the correct version.
I would play Darktide right now but man. Burned myself out for tonight. I still hear Poxwalkers and Techno-40k music in my ears!
Lmfao u played way too much
2 PM to 9 PM. That's what?
6 hours of just pushing into HAVOC 40. Yea, it would stick!
Goddamn
Where did u start
Started in 38. Lol, a bit of up and downs.
Yea, it may just be 2 levels to get through. But 39 was soooooooo much harder than 40 and by a long shot.
Was playing Ogryn but it was not doing it for me. I needed to play Vet to finally get it done.
Going to redo my Ogryn later
Theres like practically no difference between 38 and 40
I thinku just got unlucky spawns
I assumed so considering that 38 and 40 were easy and all of our 39s were stupidly hard
Sometimes game director jsut spawns some unfair shit on u
Dark Communion with Rituals and Toll. It does not sound too crazy but it is lol.
We had 2 demonhosts unleashed cuz of bugs in a dark communion run
That's our 39. The fact that it kept giving us that is really sus
Yea, Dark Communion's spawns are trash~
Yea theres 2 spots where if u get it the demonhost will trigger before u get to it
Well 1 spot
The other outside the ambush can spawn if ur not quick enough
The corner camping spot? Lol
Thats the one u can still kill
There is one before basement dropdown
It goes up at max speed as soon as it triggers
We eventually got lucky on it tho.
I can't wait for tomorrow. Just want to take my 40 and relax lol
Special order of a Plague Ogryn and four Big Boys with hammers near a Daemonhost... Recipient name: "Fuck You"

Got that on a Auric game, i left a goofy aah "Gulp" when i saw the Daemonhost hp bar show up right after we killed the Ogryn amidst a horde
I just kept running in circles hoping my team helped me get rid of some of the enemies chasing me
whats the best recon lasgun mark?
generally, the one that does the shooty thing fast
With Onslaught XII
Without Onslaught then the VIC or XIV
whats onslaught again
(You can always bring XII though)
and what perks should i run
Attacks apply brittleness up to 40%
XII goes brrrr and stacks pretty fast
i see, i do run that
well almost
not enough level yet
but thanks
Flak + Maniacs/5% CRIT chance
i see
did they buff the helbore lazguns?
so i want to finish adept assassin, whats a good range weapon to use?
rn im using bolt pistol
is that the one for weapon specialist crit headshots?
unironically the double barrel shotgun
you can get like 15+ in one shot if lined up right 

yep
Better with revolver imo, the bolt weapons have some wonky sights
get revolver
imagine aiming smh smh
just blast in their general direction and the spread will take care of it 
Bayonet never triggered ws
Only agile engagement
whats should be the lowest stats on Duelling Sword
i seeing on both the onedrive is def/cleave while other is mobile
Either is fine.
Mobility is a safe bet as always, you still get max dodges on 60. Cleave damage is like ~5 damage diff to enemies that aren't main target.
Though if you only use DS4, it barely happens.
Dueling Sword mk 4.
The meta mark.
Unless you are thrusting into multiple heds.
Either way, the diff is too small to matter.
At least for this.

Guys I found an exploit
If you equip shock maul 90% of your requests will be denied


depends on what you want. If you just want raw dmg and hold down left click
+flak dmg
+maniac dmg
pinning fire
Continuous fire
if you want to use it as a toughness generator replace the blessings with
Inspiring barrage
continous fire
also keep in mind you can sprint and shoot with the autopistol
Now that’s heavy bolter.
Heavy Revolver when?
ogryn revolver

kinda unironically, I wouldn't mind a smaller, semi-auto, but still quite high calibre auto pistol
stub equivalent of a glock
The 1911 exists in warhammer.
brace of laspistols
This is not a joke.
warhammer is like 40% rule of cool
Stubguns
40% operatic melodrama
and 20% random nonsense
of course it has a 1911
how dare you insinuate that it wouldn't
With a taste of stole-... references all over
That's kinda nestled into the rule of cool
it's just rule of cool applied to 1980s era pop culture nerd jokes and references
James Workshop is a spicy character, after all
he does what he likes and doesn't afraid of anything
how about a scoped space deagle?!
space deeeaaaagle
I wish I can doesn't afraid too
Doesn't afraiding of things is easier when you're fictional.
Cain is the ultimate brave person.
Because of how much of a selfish coward he is.
That's true bravery.
Space Marine: I know no fear
Ciaphas Cain: I know all of them
Can't be brave if you doesn't afraid of things.
True facts.
Titus? Not even slightly brave.
As brave as a heavily armed and armoured fridge.
Titus is a sociopath with a moral conscience
He's an ultramarine, yes.
What about the Boltgun guy
Does John Boltgun have a name?
That is such a 'Star Wars randomised collection of sounds'-ass name.
Borfglum Spardlebrake
Ogryn thugshot
Single shot bullet launcher in the same style as kickback and rumbler (real datamined weapon)
Come to think of it, a Heavy Bolter would be a cool addition to the Ogryn, and i think he is the only one who could realistically hold the recoil of one
Or maybe add a comically large Pistol for him, but idk if there are any Ogryn sized Sidearms in lore
For some reason I'm not keen on the Heavy Bolter being in Darktude unless a fixed environmental emplacement like the minigun on the final No Mercy L4D rooftop
Heavy bolter for enemies UwU
I'm messing around with the achlys combat axe
trying to figure out which blessings to use
im stuck between shred and decimator
why not HT like a normal person
i know
im up for a challenge today
i am goofing off in the psykhanium right now
one thing i tried was thrust and limbsplitter to hopefully do over half a mauler's health in one hit
with a crit it does over 2.5k damage
ootherwise 1242
i was going to try bringing a high capacity recon with infinite ammo
so i can reserve melee for elites/specialists in my way
what's actually the difference between that and the rashad?
they like...have identical movesets and nearly identical damage?
the achlys has a higher modifier for carapace and unyielding i believe? on heavies
because you use the spike
le spike
the bigass spike on the back of the achlys
the antaxe seems to have the best unyielding damage
i just converted my silly antaxe axe to rashad for this so it doesnt look good at all keep that in mind
actually even with full all or nothing stacks it still takes 5 rashad headshots
oh i assumed youw were using brumentum...
i am well aware
yes because i was yesterday messing around with shred/all or nothing on an antaxe combat axe
what no updates does to a mf
to spam push and lights at a crowd
im just messing around with new combos
also i usually take frags and laser weapons so hopefully i wont have to focus too much on melee crowd control
crits seem to be the way to go for achlys
my fps has dropped a lot after this update
Skill issue-
Turns out its pushing the dust even more inside
i used to have good fps mid horde but now it drops to 20
achlys axe worked
in auric maelstrom
because i used the recon lasgun for everything
the axes are pretty satisfying to chop into armor with
looks inside
Barely used axe

So essentially you were looking for a different answer against armor
Something not meta
anything would work atp
yeah?
i just wanted a fun backup weapon
i would not have used it with an infantry lasgun
or maybe i should have
would be interesting
also i was not using any redning/brittleness talents, recon was useless against carapace
check for DLSS frame gen turned off? this happened to me this (major) patch, maybe nvidia app or darktide itself reset it
Not even a real achlys user
Real users have a max of 30% stamina at all times
I’m redoing my veteran build
Does this perk mean when you dodge a attack or just haven’t been hit by melee for 8 seconds
When you haven't been hit iirc
you haven't been hit/BLOCKED an attack
Ah alright
Usually perks like that are worded differently
don't worry Fatshark is very well known for their clear, consistent, and accurate tooltips UwU
If you have dodging down very well
Both Catch a Breath and Killzone are pretty decent picks if you’re pathing through Shred and Surv
I did this
I don’t play too high levels on veteran because I forgo being better at the game for feeling like some normal fuck ass guardsman with a shovel and infantry las
I save all that meta damage for Ogryn
What’s the best way to go about building the heavy sword?
I’m currently running the mk IX with deathblow, thrust, 10% melee weakspot damage and 10% critical damage
Bet, thank ye
Those perks you chose aren't that good because of Fatshark math
i will still insist tha mk9 hsword is trash

even though its good
Also what perks should I put on shovel? VII
carapce unyielding iirc
And flak maniac?
If you’re looking for a more high level pathing just path through Out 4 Blood
Not seeing much focus target vets is there a reason? Because I want to play this style again
i checked the guide and its carapce flak
What about bladed momentum, is that any good? That being said this is a for fun build but one that can actually survive a match
There’s a guide?
experiment
if youre good enough youre preveil
Steam guide eventually
It's just not that good
Works pretty well on plasma vet for boss delete
Not quite good
Hsword damage is pretty high against everything else
The only time Bladed Momentum would help is against Carapace, except you can't normally cleave carapace, so you can't normally proc it
usally people suck at tagging or want to take weapon spec
If you have monstrosity damage and maelstrom/havoc weakened boss specialists
WS keystone is generally a better choice all round
Thank you
or mmf for certain weapons
WS is good but loses a lot of value on high firerate/mag size weapons
Like you get one free crit thats it
yeah weapon spec prefers hard hitting weapons
MMF is “better” for your finesse weapons
But it’s not really great
FT is the best neutral choice
Actually I might go 25% dam boost to carapace armour instead of 10% crit dam
it ceratinlky helps me with mk3 vifil
Well that burned out my retinas
But WS is generally picked more cause of its big QOL options
Light mode 
Make the Hsword into a mauler mauler
10% crit damage never take that node
But in theory
You could go with a meme build like Perfect Strike Bladed Momentum
Then if you crit you'd be able to cleave through carapace therefore proccing it
You'll just lose on Headtaker and Deathblow 
why woulkd you even run crit damage
Never tried it
They need to change bladed
It’s so dookie
also I love the reload talent c:
its only 3.3% but I'll take it
guys i think that deathblow and bromentum are blessings so powerful that they are mandatory
and this should not be the thing
brutal momentum needs a buff?
Trench Fighter Drill, Desperado, and Recip
Holy trinity why I path down WS
needs a nerf if anything imo
Deathblow
Headtaker
The other blessings are not as good
Not even thrust?
True
That anything that does it should seriously be reworked
flamethrower
na Brutal Momentum should give "ignore hit mass"
you can thank me later
cleave through 10 crushers? balanced
As balanced as a drunk uncle on thanksgiving
one day I can justify Thrust :c
I miss release power sword
Clad and their thrust Hsword propaganda
Does anyone know why I cant use my grenades or stims
Abysmal Dogshit propaganda
When DB literally lets you just 1 tap a lot of maniac types
Without needing to charge for Thrust LMAO
Thrust is pretty overrated in general
It’s just “alright” most of the time
It’s probably cause big damage number
i'll take a look
I'm much team player using VoC I practically target every priority threat and I want to dive more deep in this style so beside plasma what are weapon recommendations for FT
Bolter, Revolver, uhh DB kinda
And is it worth to get AM for reveving and/or LNOB passive? I've did try to use AM but if the players are good then you don't need it if they suck then reveving them all the time also doesn't help. It seems ok for few situations but I'm not sure it's worth.
So maybe someone here have a longer experience with this.
Stopping power dump stat on Vigil is- an interesting take
ya it does.
If you're actually switching the weapon, which checks out because it relies on getting kills while you have either your ranged or melee weapon out. It's actually one of the only ways you can pull off playing a Vet that barely uses their gun to actually shoot. It doesn't work if you're trying to get the bonus for both the melee attack and ranged attack on the helbore.
It's not the most effective. But it is fun.
i have no idea what youre trying to say here
I have it because i hate the stagger
It just works better for me this way
I’d rather have that extra damage against armor
If you get a kill with the bayonet, it triggers melee specialist because it's a kill that counts while having your ranged weapon out.
no, it doesnt
I’ve gotten used to predicting the stagger Patterns anyways
It still works exceptionally good in my hands.
So idc i kill the guys i need to kill
lemme show you something rq
check the buff widgets and you'll see what i mean
It's the same reason you can throw shredders at a horde, constantly switch your weapon to fully reload it. It doesn't matter what actually kills the enemies. It's what weapon you have out that maatters.
Because the bayonet kills are considered kills while having your ranged weapon out, it triggers melee specialist.
Also it's fucking painful how slow the bayonet is now.
This is actually depressing.
you 2 were misunderstanding each other
ranged kill stack = melee specialist stack
but helbore itself cannot use the melee specialist buff (which is not the same thing as melee specialist stack)
That's what I was saying.
You can't use the bonus on the helbore itself.
But actually switching the weapon, you can.
.
Real talk though can they just undo this nerf?
what nerf
THE BAYONET
why
I dunno. Helbore has never been a top pick to begin with. It just... seems odd that they targetted it.
kid named Trench Fighter Drill buffing it
I get that the bayonet was hella strong.
not enough to be equal to pre-nerf
But, what it was attached to... ehhhh...
It was so fun taking that setup into scab melees.
