How heretical is it to have mobility as dumpstat? I ran out of resources.
Flak + maniacs perks?
Flak + Maniac/Crit CHANCE
how is any class any different
I have a mobility dump.
If you plan to havoc in the future, mobility dump is better.
I wanna ask for curios
so for havoc, running voice of command, should I run 1 or 2 toughness curios?
remove headhunter, swap for dumdum
Personally I run 2 toughness 1 stamina
Personally, dum dum infernus better.
running the one where my teammates passively regen toughness whenever I regen toughness
currently running 1 wound, 1 stamina & 1 toughness
you will never passively regain toughness in new havoc
Never wounds, get hp is even better than wounds.
Or more toughness.
I can tho, with the node that lets me regen toughness whenever Im not getting meleed
1 stam 2 toughness, 1 stam 1 hp 1 toughness, 2 toughness 1 hp or 3 toughness.
You want min of 201 hp.
Everything else is what feels comfortable with you.
rn my stats with 2 toughness + 1 stamina
i see
But that's if you care for def breakpoints.
I just wanna make sure I dont get 1 shot by chaff
chaff is pretty much never the problem
I just keep dying to them
whenever I clear em, one miraculously appears behind me and 1 shots me
chaff is party of the problem when theres 4 bosses, including twins bearing down on the group at the same time
my group is really struggling in havoc in those situations
Yeah, I've fully committed to the role of stepping aside from the boss fights to specifically take on the chaf and elites/specialists
.-.
i mean at that point, everything is an issue lmao
thats what im doing, tho the boss somehow is glued to me whenever I'm just clearing hordes
I mean I also run focus target so dealing with specialists and elites also allow me to restore my teammates' toughness and stamina
no matter how hard I try to avoid it
its because Ogryn and Psyker were recently reworked after Itemization that allows them to have FAR MORE FREEDOM with choice of weapons and still have their builds synergize extremely well with them
meanwhile Zealot and Veteran yes they can use "Any Ranged/Any Melee" but it usually distills down to literally 1 build thats a Bread and Butter one
thats sadly tru
Its not even because of them being overpowered in Blank region its just because since its been like that since P13 they've been more focused on a handful of weapons which are hell even now getting powercrept
its kinda depressing watching
(outside of the recent releases and already ludicrously overpowered options)
cough rashad
@narrow frost This probably wasn't even as optimized as it could be but I just said fuck it Brittleness Shovel in Auric and yeah
I think Ogryn is a wee bit strong
Eggman...
Do you have an issue with Eggman
I see your brittleness shovel and I raise you brittleness bleed shovel
Oggy shovel good because it goes CLANK! on push attack
What's the best way to run the Mk1 shovel? The one that doesn't fold. I have uncanny and was also thinking Skullcrusher or Decimator. Any perk breakpoints?
Slam + HHI Impact node Punch that fucking sends Crushers back
How it feels to special key a crusher with Slam
Wait I didn't consider brittleness with new batter...
Its free damage
its literally free fucking damage
Except you should use BM SKC for Auric
Havoc probably Britt Bleed cause of the elite and cara spam
Shit I just realized you can also do it on Clubs
cause they ALSO have thunderous
I don't miss BM on shovels, except on the Sheesh (XIX)
Autopistol seems fun but I seem to always be running slow on ammo.
Am I doing smth wrong? Exec Stance
Keystone and Aura?
I assume Survivalist
Keystones that are good choices if you're looking to use the AP more in terms of killing specials/elites and Monstros would be either MMF or FT
but you generally should use your melee in downtime or hordes more
Use melee more
That's all
noob
Can't hear you over me downloading abysmal dogshit
(BO6 got an update thus me play new zombies map)
FINALLY GOT IT It was so hard! lol
Bolt Pistol and grenades are so badass lol
Do the bolt pistol buff on grenades only work if my Bolt Pistol is out or no?
Grats
All the time.
You can have your knoife or any melee out. It also kinda works on kraks but not great.
Well... kraks are pretty limited.
Using grenades recently. Been smoke user for the longest since i like the right side of the tree more.
BUT DAMN, Shredders are too good!
Yup
True, but info can help in cases.
I mean, room clear on a slight delay if you throw 2.
Honestly, smoke buff is probs better.
Honestly.
If it was wider, it'd be great. It's too small!
Now, time to add in my True Survivor title to feel big!
Make them impact grenades 
Don't replace smokes. I love them
Offensive uses get choking gas yes.
Besides, i sound more high tech yelling out "C-19 Alpha smoke bombs"
I mean make smoke impact grenades instead of having the delay fuse
By impact, I think is more. The moment it hits, it pops. No delay.
Idk about that but it'd be great qol
A big benefit to bubble is also toughness regen
Use grenade tinkerer reeeeeeeeeeee
I wanna turn a room into a hookah den.
Twinned 30 secs smoke funni.
Huh!? Grenade tinkerer for smokes?!
It's pretty big for smokes
Also make smokes stagger the target they hit directly.
I want them to stagger a bulwark.
Lol that's a heavy grenade
You underestimate the power of an impact grenade.
I approve of this
I require more bulwark racism.
Yes, try it.
Just not with twinned, that's memes.
Do note Bistol does not make smoke bigger.
kinda looking good huh?
Of only they made hotshot volleyguns a thing
Could go full Scion
Wonder if they have the balls to make a melta gun
Vollyguns would be too OP!
Melta can be cool. Can be like Space Marine 1. Where it's a donut shotgun. x3
let me become jurgen
Smokes op
I'm trying to get that set for mine
Meltas in the books are described more like short range heat lasers half the time
are you close to 5.5k penance points?
I want a voltvoler
Ooh I need to check, I'm at work right now
When I get home I'll tell ya
sure . i kinda like the set now that i have the helmet
Overheat and cumbersome in comparison to regular lasgun. Would probably just play like the recon lasgun with more kick but burn
Hold up, what's that stats on it on table top again? lol
Fairly sure it can punch through heavy armor too.
Same strength with 2 more ap
Might be 1 now
In the age of simplified 40hammer
Though I may be mixing up
It could work. I see it as a more marksman weapon like a Battle Rifle from Halo.
Volleygun is the heavy weapon varient so probably more shots and higher strength. Better than a bolter
Hotshots need the backpacks so they're not precision weapons as much. Scions are more drop/shock troops
Didn't they add a bit of lore that they have small packs for those weapons now?
It'd definitely be a weapon unique to Veteran
I need to look this up again, it's been a while.
No clue, haven't checked in as much. But they're far more power hungry than the staple lasgun
Big time.
That or the power pack is to regulate heat. Given its hot shot
Still, i mean, Vollyguns have scopes on them so they are meant for a bit of precision.
is this good ws ranged?
I've always wondered. Anyone tried the desperado blessing? Dodge for 20% crit for 4 seconds or something
for weapon specialist?
yep
It's decent since it swaps fast and synergized a bit, but the best weapons for ws are the ones that benefit from that initial guaranteed crit more like revolver, plasma, and dbs
Take dumdum instead of conc fire
Mk X in general pretty meh though
i feels better to use in my hands
Mk II much better
i know just trying something different
DPS is significantly higher
It's fine then 🤷♂️
other reason im using it is thats is the closest thing we have to standard pistol
Yeah mk X is prob the closest gun to a traditional sidearm pistol feel
Sidearms with a primary ranged weapon would be cool 😭
But no, ammo balancing sucks at high havoc so it wouldnt work
I think it's a reasonable trade if:
- They have crap ammo.
- You now can't block because your melee weapon is now alt fire aim a gun.
Like if I can have a stub pistol and sword combo, with like 1/3rd the ammo of a primary, that's probably not that unreasonable.
Tempestus Aquilons
@tall torrent Are you on?
I'm making a quick stat dump for zel weapons
and needed insight on something
Laz pistol dump, stability only effects ADS. Correct?
Is dmg the dump stat on a catachan MK III?
Assuming a DS that's 76s across the board is just fine and you're not missing any breakpoints for sub 80 damage?
check pins, but no
mobility is dump for knife
It's never damage
Unless Flamer
For the Armorbane Penance, what counts as an armorer enemy?
Is it anything with flak and carapace armor?
their centermass being armor
Oh cool
I think flak armoured horde, maulers, ragers, crushers
Do the armored gunners count?
Thanks
what I recall from usage yes its similar to Helbys
where Stability really isn't a make or break
I haven't played darktide for a very long time, any specific things about veteran to note? How are the hellbores?
to much to note
No worries, I guess I'll just read up on some patch notes
Actually the changes to Killzone made it more consistently based
When didi you play last time?
If you don't get hit that is
About 3-4 months ago?
veteran still same except some his talents node changed; like swap speed instead sprint cost, then his other talent node like killzone gotten better rather distance based
hellbore is okay i think is same state, but has new blessing
So it does!
killzone and catch a breath got buff
instead meter base, is not take melee damage KZ: 8s & CaB: 5s
and you should consider in game changes in you would like to play havoc its much harder and enemies have new blessings
Good point. Not touching havoc so far until I got a bit less rusty
heresy warm up*
Path OF Redemption
havoc are like mael auric 2.0 something
and there is new "arcade" mode Mortis Trials
Yep, played that recently. It's fun
And you must try out Ogryns
they gpot update and are very very nice now
Yeah, ogryn is my main. The new changes are incredible
Every copy of darktide is personalised
I got the copy where zealot is nerfed

Lel
god I wish
instead we have to live in a world where vet will get the swiss army knife as his newest weapon in 3 months and no changes otherwise
A weapon that can do everything?
Damn that's [ Rashad Combat Axe]
no a literal 2 inch blade with a corkscrew that does 10 damage
sure but it will take 5x the duration of using the chain special action
and you can't cancel out of it
Man
How broken would allowing attack speed to influence weapon special activation animations
not at all
the chain weapons would still feel like shit, and at best you'd like flip a shovel a bit faster
Inb4 it does that already
yeah it might and i have no clue, it wouldn't change anything either way
I know the combat shotguns weapon special are influenced by reload speed
because what the chain special activations need isn't faster animations it's to be switched into a stance with the chain on that does more damage/rending and is slower
Which combat blade for vet?
is it a personal choice, isn't the mk6 just objectively better on vet
Yeah
Mk3 kinda just exists as the single target andy
While mk6 has options for both that are just as good
I was using mk3 until mk6 did not came out😂
I did try to get back to mk3 but it feels so stiff now
But I think mk3 is great for head strikes
mk3 is the headshot machine
it's all knives do anyway
sorta like the H1 on mk6 but it doesn't have a great sweeping combo anyway, so might as well lean into the head poking
Yeah
either works, just pick your flavor of bleed and push attack more often than you think you need to, and you'll be fine
But mk3 knife with lacerate is pretty funny
I guess it much depends on playstyle
I like a good riposte/flesh tare for crit bleed spam with the 3
Esp since serrated blade was slightly buffed
Ok yeah this+DB+Shredders is a blast. Over 100k bleed damage consistently every match
too bad bleed caps out at like 16
If its any armored type enemy aka not unarmored or infested
slap Brittle or Rending
and you'll do even more
That's still like 200+ damage per tick
bleed being limited makes sense considering zealots and ogryns have buffs from it
On the plasma gun is it okay if I got 60 thermal resistance I spent 650k on attempting to get the perfect roll and this is too much at this point
Or would this other one I have be better 62 thermal resistance
78 ammo 80 everything else
A 70 70 t res and charge rate is good as well
Which one would be better 60 thermal
Or 62 t res 78 ammo because I can’t be asked to sit here and use more gold on a singular weapon
Granted it’s a good weapon I don’t really use guns much I’m more melee combat
I’d try to get 80 ammo
And yeah it’s mainly just to deal with specials
So the 60 t res one then? Cause it has 80 everything else
Yeah that’s good you miss out on 2 shots I think
Also did u say spear head bolt gun or bolt pistol last night?
For me bolt pistol
Puncture and lethal prox
What build?
i’ve been liking the las pistol so far but man miss the oomph of the spearhead boltgun when i was playing zealot
idk
i’m new to vet
i’m new to the game period
just started last week
Bolt pistol with shredders is amazing
i’m kinda just
i have it set to krak rn
but makes sense since bolt pistol could work against the heavier foes
want to use power sword tho
just got home, i’ll show you what i was roughly following for now
You can use krak
And I’d definitely use ws with ps
Shedder is better than kraks the higher you go in content
In my opinion
mine looks similar but i took dmg coherence rather than survivalist
but real tempted to switch
was going for specialist too
I only pick it because of catch a breath
remind me what that is?
Constant toughness regen
oh shoot?
Yup
If you don’t get hit or block anything you get constant regen
God imagine that on zealot with 2nd wind
Yeah it does
The power sword is hard to clutch with though

i would like to say i’m not clutching but with teammates as of late….
I had a trial by fire with getting good at clutching
With catch a breath it does help with clutching
Stuff like the knife, ds, dc, hsword, and caxe are really good at clutching
so how about dueling sword and bolt pistol?
abysmal horde clear when u don't have frags
change to not using a duelling sword 
bp and powersword it is
there's frankly not much reason to use duelling sword on vet rn
with frags
given how strong power sword is
or krak?
both are ok
if im gonna be primarily using bp for elites anyway, might as well use frags
perks for bolt pistol?
*blessings
and perks i guess
unarmored
maniac
puncture
lethal proximity / point blank / run&gun
All the good players use it
not good enough
Comparatively
not as good as zealot & psyker at the very least
If shredders @craggy goblet I’d do leathal prox and puncture
Its better than psyker with nothiing up
only good melee rending talent for veteran is 10% rending
tac axe is far more crit dependent
I'd try tac axe vet if I actually liked vet anymore
Even with precision strikes and ws?
psyker has more dmg bonuses & far higher crit chance
That’s true
zealot has duellist and far higher crit chance

buff taxe
reciprocity is quite good
but not so good as zealot's kit built around crit
or psyker having basically the same or better crit chance on demand

Don’t let @slow sky, @narrow frost, or dorn see this hateful tac axe slander

And I keep saying to their face as well 
Shredder Auto Pistol got buffed so Ainz doesn't need to see SAP bad anymore
taxe science is headtaker and brutal momentum eh?
what about perks?
mobility dump stat too?
@slow sky can I see a video of this
Why was I never told about this
Yup
Perks uhhhh depends on the character I believe
Let me see for vet
ty ty
what mk of taxe goes off?
im somewhat of a versatility enjoyer
i get bored of light spam
2
And I can’t check the doc but it’s in pins
personally I like 4 (https://darktide.gameslantern.com/weapons/tactical-axe/atrox-mk-iv-tactical-axe) for the w light spam
2 or 7 best performing
perference between those
4 lacks a sweeping attack to benefit from BM
The mk2 works off push attacks and heavies
4 misses all its BM breakpoints
7 is my go to
and lack most of the horde clear the other 2 have
7 is mine as well
@slow sky busy?
wanna duo A-I-II?
yeah I ran 2 but 7 is better
Everyone wants to duo with Cole
good luck
already had 3 thunder hammers in my A-I-II
I can at like uh 8
The cult grows
its not as useful for multiple groups of ragers because heavy sweeps/PAs have enough impact to stun ragers out of combos and maulers out of overheads
Yeah but you can use braindead light spam
so youll use those more
And it will do worse than the other two by a lot
Yeah I figured that it seem niche
you can do that with the mk7 too but youre not giving up optimal combos to do so
I dont use tac axe for breakpoints or to be good. Tac axe is just worse so you just gotta roll with the worst oen. Dump stat damage and use shred instead of brutal momentum. Pure swag weapon that's definitely not good
Still pretty good tbh
stopping mutants easily tho is actually useful and i do it often all the time
Tbh I’ve clutched with a taxe once and I was push attacking for my life
Noted
My hand was tired after taxe
For whatever reason taxe and shovel special will stop a mutant but ogryn knife punch won't
cuz its a typical force stun you can use it on reaper and crusher heads
but they are still subject to stagger cooldowns so you cant spam it
How could you have overlooked this cole
Even on controller
Just use full auto if you're gonna use light spam tackaxe
At least, you should if you're an old fucker like me
Exactly what I do
7 can do pa->heavy loop and also has an overhead heavy
Ohh that’s good
And has a fast Heavy->light loop if you're out of stamina
you can also do h1>l2 as a group clear combo when youre running low on stam
And on psyker stam isn’t an issue
which knife is best
I run 3x stam regen on everyone
3x stam regen always, running out of stamina is death
I breath stamina
Same
yea u just lose dps vs mauler, every ogryn enemy and unyielding bosses
Mk6 though mk3 is ok
perks for powersword?
What perks do you run on them again?
I run carapace elite
it's close to being good, it just needs flat dmg number boosts across the board
I do unyielding elites
rn im running flak and unyeilding
You can def skip flak
I can’t look at the doc rn what are the perk for the taxe?
For veteran
Unarmored
Maniac
i do flak and unarmored on zealot, that i do know
gotcha
ive played taxe on vet the least tho
No unyielding? Why unarmored?
bruiser breakpoints
do u want BM bruiser 1 taps
Yis sur.. I do
and unyielding is always a nice to have, never a need to have
other things take priority and you take it when you dont need anything else
Doesn’t that help against dreg gunners as well?
even with unyielding & carapace, tac axe is still not good vs unyielding & carapace
it's just not worth the investment
Unarmored?
it rly just needs numerical dmg buffs across the board
Ahh I see
Tbh I never really thought about trash breakpoints
I just hit them
But I suppose they can be important in circumstance
tac axe is basically what if a DC sword style weapon actually killed things quickly
because it's super similar to DC sword in terms of role
Dc slander 
True
tac axe does far better vs flak
I mean dc has parry
has far better horde clear speed
has better dodge profile
has better innate block efficiency
attacks faster
has a lot better stagger
When you gonna post that guide on blocks

I take carapace on mk IV. I think it's worth it.
“Never”
The dps is just acceptable enough with carapace that I don't feel the need to take krak or a gun that deals with carapace
it'll be in each melee weapon's own section
barrel thyself
@lean rune if you want to play vermintide in darktide you can use the tac axe
crusher & thunder hammer have highest block cost
Zamm
@dawn garnet you eating terrible!
high cost = bad
True
Just realized my mistake
I’ve been up for 18 hours

Tweaking rn
Psychosis
He meant they cost a lot more to block wif if you can’t read like me
Path telling me to “read it again for the 8th time”
😭
tell me about it
thammer needs some QoL buffs
esp ironhelm
you need to push to get to H3
so you have 1) shit stam base
2) high block costs
3) high push costs
It gives you what you lack
i dont even have toughness curios on my zealot
Get one
Have you tried the ritual
what ritual?
🙄
just use crucis bro...
You don't understand, Clad NEEDS ironhelm so he can throw harder.
I'll win the lottery before he does it, I think.
if we ever duo again I'm sorry but you're being locked out of Martyrdom 
ill play ogryn
its ok
if there are hammers an bolters available to me i shall use them
shovelgryn i hope
no
L
It's cleaver 6 or nothing
Not 4?
Mobility a good dump stat on the combat axe?
Brain off H1 H2 ad infinitum
With the now Push Heavy for single target
Yep
And for the sapper shovel?
But but but, light spam fun.'
I mean
You can still light
Just not as good as the others
Light Special Light Push Heavy Light
Fighting game notation but DT
L1 sL1 P H3 L3 (?)
Hmmm that "heavy 3" is a doozy
Nu, rejected, Am going back to hahayes bully mk 3 light spam.
remember, they only explode once :)
Which one do I consecrate? Also how to I fill the rest of the bars? Empowering?
Left one good
Empowering yes

Exec Stance Agri Vigil Propaganda featuring @narrow frost
706k jesus fucking christ
yes
he was running Brit Bleed Shovel which was nuking Bosses I was just playing Obj or mop up crew on elites
minus BON moments then it was just a game of whoever saw the back exposed first shot it
that bleed shovel build is very fun
its very fucking strong
I've been playing it recently
i mean
how does this work lol
uncanny lacerate knife is the best blessing combo because its 100% rending bleed ticks
best horde and almost best boss dps
or do you mean shovel?
I was using thunderous Skullcrusher with bless on hit from the talent tree
yeah i thought you were saying shovel's better than lac uncanny knife for bleed spam 🤔
oh wait is this on ogryn?
am confused
oh yeah that makes sense then
Anyone still use mk3 power sword?
Managed to crack 1 million damage in mortis lmao. Infinite bolter with knockback on every shot is a wee bit op
holy
It's nice getting both of those and just gunning down rinda/rodin, I think they have 100k hp each
Better to just volt rng 1 shot at times.
Luckily if you have damage you can just stunlock with shield breaks
And even then they aren't hard with no shield linking
Drank a monster coffee and took some for allergies
So when we get a good and proper commisar outfit, would chain sword or dueling sword be better?
But is it commissar coded?
Nvm read that wrong
I mean yeah
Chain sword, ds, power sword
Very good for commissar cosplay
I will pretend to be in charge of the squad
I have severe mental reaction to benadryl, makes me extremely anxious and paranoid
When I feel like abysmal dogshit is when I preform best at darktide
please buff the chainsword
i should not be swinging 3 times just to kill a pox walker
What the scallop
How do you have it built
I mean you shouldn’t Anyways
You sound like you are using a knoife at wave 12 mortis with no buffs.
not pox walker
Chsword does need buffs but it’s the faster clear speed for thr chaff horde
If it’s scab bruiser, just make sure you hit the head
If it’s buckethead dreg bruisers yea, bit more difficult
Chsword really only excels at unarmored and infested
If it's scabs, you have either + flak damage or aim at weakspots which don't need flak.
apart from the power sword and sometimes rashad every other weapon feels so weak
like is that just me
Kinda yea
You are basically comparing everything to the S+ tier when melee is at the point where the lowest weapons are like B tier
Also duelist sword and knife not mentioned when they are strong asf as well
knife is kinda meh to me, but duelist sword is straight up broken
and i dont like that
Knife is low-key broken tbh
It just isn't the dueling sword.
Which honestly isn't saying much since the dueling sword is just abrasively op.
nah
the damage potential is much lower than something like rashad, PS, or any of the non-dogshit orgyn melees
the main thing is just that you're fast
Damage potential is perfectly serviceable with the right blessings and the fact that it's the one weapon that innately causes bleed.
It does not
It's the speed accompanied with that, that makes it good.
Knives does not cause bleed
Innately means naturally, you need a blessing or talent to cause bleed. Just making sure you know, I noticed some people think knife does it by itself
Yeah. Flesh tearer or lacerate.
Lacerate isn't great though so usually flesh tearer.
Well
You just have to do the combos constantly with knife
And consistently
The damage is good
But uh, I fumble the combos
Funny thing about that
You can very well 1 shot crushers on one combo
No need to agree with me but lacerate and uncanny is knife best blessing combo
But overall bleed is not good outside of ogryn and shredder nades
Lacerate I think lends itself pretty well to a build that doesn't rely much on critting.
Why I use it on my staff psyker builds
Shredder nades are particularly why I'd use bleed on the knife tbh
i just do L>L>L>L>L 
Helps with building up stacks on larger targets without an extra grenade.
See there’s an incredibly wacky thing with Lac Un when you just juggle body to head in a pattern leaving you with usually a 3.5 second window to spare on Uncanny
And it’s rending bleed on demand so you’re literally just killing everything outside of Unarmored which again bleed Alone is killing
It's so shrimple because the attack pattern likes body shots for mk3
and then bleed from flechette and bleed from shredders 
PA for weakspot
The light light light for body shots
Repeat
Mk3 was made for uncanny lac
See that's where my issue lies. Because I prefer the Mk6
Isn't just preference overall between the marks
well mk6 def used to have better horde clear and better single target
assuming you had the stamina to spam PA
I honestly never bothered asking about the big difference between the two but I gotta admit Mk6 PA
Bye bye crushers
Yes
Unsure
So question, revolver dump for ws is reload speed correct? What about bpistol?
Would that still be collateral, or would that be reload too
Collateral
It literally won't change anything
And sometimes you reload without WS, so having faster reload helps
What other weapons do you usually dump reload with then, aside from revolver (if any)
None to my knowledge
Thank you 🙏
Probably should test the differences sometimes
Cause I mean I can confidently say Mk6 has a wider reach
Brunts has been surprisingly generous as of late so I've been stocking up
H1 on mk3 is less damage sure but it's no shame cost
So overall more effective, no?
Vet always struggles with stamina
Also pray for me, I might get cursed
I'm working on zealot guide
And it might get me banned
Gg
Everyday you roll a 20 sided
The moment it lands on 1 your ban will follow
Sitting here realizing how Shovel Ogryn with Batter Thunderous SKC is literally just better Lac Knife
Outside of mobility but like
mk3 is better for single target if you abuse the special + light combo
You nuke everything lmao
especially since it's much more responsive on that particular mark than the mk6 (for some reason)
mk6 just feels a lot more generalist
hmmm you can nuke horde with mk3 knife?
it's not the special attack itself
what kind?
Ogryn has rush and barge though
it's that the light that come afterwards is a heavy instead
And a instant stagger special
and it comes out very, very quickly
bullrush?
and mk3 with any kinda bleed blessing is serviceable enough for hordes anyway
really, it's just a pick your poison deal
i find mk6 simply horde pattern
which is pretty much what it's meant for
it's a more versatile mark that doesn't specialize as much in single target
it still does both well enough and it's why i prefer the mk6
uncanny mk6 like alaways on it
that being said
it's genuinely goofy how quickly the mk3 can deal with a horde of crushers if you time the special + light chain right
i don't use special, i keep light and dodge all time
the punch i use doesn't feel impact full
puching crusher head didn't do anything
it's not the punch
it's what comes after the punch
anytime you use that punch, you get the downward stab that does a ton of damage on weak spots
mk6 for some reason can't chain it as well because it has this odd input lag
does the animation delay with fliping the knife and downward stab?
im going look by myself
wondering if that was a balance decision to keep the mk6 from just being outright better than the mk3
but that punch + light combo on mk3 has some of the best single target dps in the game
yeah
but is juggle the moveset
for me
i gotta watchout the other crusher if i attempt targeting one crusher
because they pack it up
hitting boulder like hammer timming
that's why you never just roll on in without trying to stagger them
hmm
and vet is very good at staggering
revolver ES doesn't feel as bad as it used to
shout, nades and all
average martyrdom experience: most damage dealt, least ammo taken, and... least damage received?
Sirosky have you tried the Helbores with the mod?
yeh
it def helps with the strain on fingers
Even better if you do it with 0 damage taken.
Yes.
and lose my bonus 20% attack speed and 40% melee damage? nah. i don't think so.
Who ever did the sounds for the boltgun needs a raise
Does electrified status do DoT damage in Mortis trials?
The Spearhead fucks
That reload sound is perfection
Which Hsword suits Vet better?
I used to like mk6 but that was on Zealot
Its exactly the same stat wise on vet
I saw a vid for Grenade vet build, saying Bladed Momentum is good?
Whats the dumpstat on bolt pistol?
Check pins (collat)
Survivalist guide?
I kinda used to hate vigilant autoguns but I kinda started to like graia since it's just semi-auto and not burst
Might use it more on zealot though since I just love recon lasguns too much
Surgical and deadly accurate feel really nice on graia
VAguns haven't been touched on this patch right?
Yes to my knowledge
Is the triple burst one still the "best" of the three?
Depends? I guess. I've only used the single shot and I don't really see how the bursts would do anything different
What Blessings you use?
I personally just hate burst as a fire mode
2 shot bursts are most tolerable but it's just annoying how the gun forces you to shoot extra bullets
I didn't expect surgical
i like the 3rd burst vigil
this one, i think?
next
I like maxxing out stamina so i can bash more often
This one i think, the last shop update was in march
Boy, do i wish there was a websote that tracked shop history and refresh rate like Fortnite or Marvel Rivals has
Someone told me they rotated it last week with the release of the update
Which means the next rotation would be next week
That true?
single round VA good
burst round VAs bad
I'm sorry but burst weapons that have enough recoil that the shots can't line up well just never feel good
Rather just use the semi auto and have the closest thing this game will give us to a DMR
Hello fellow vets. Any advice on how to get the 'Long Bomb' penance? Thanks
Find group of idle enemies far away and arc your throw so that the frag nade blows up right over their heads
Ty. Any spots in particular that are good for it?
Anywhere open I guess
Honestly not that hard to find
just be sure there's like 20-30 metres between you and your target
Just got it on Mortis trials by accident with a smoke grenade lol
lmao with smokes
Take stopping power as a dump stat and dont move when you shoot
ikr, no idea how it worked but im not complaining haha. Only 6 more penances on Veteran to do now
Which ones?
just started a mortis round. I'll reply after!
Aye
working on marksmans focus now
Its fun to use
Adept Assassin, Be Methodical, Killshot Ready, Unseen Preadator, and the other two will be completed after i get the first 4
Laspistol fucked up my aim
cant aim heads with the revolver
Those are like, grindy ones though from memory.
Killshot ready is one of the most irritating penances I've come across lol
The team probably thinks I'm deranged, hoping through areas and doing melee while crouched 
Ratling gameplay
which penance is that,
Marksmans focus
what’s the criteria
does it give you like camo legs or smth?
2500 kills at 10+ stacks of marksmans focus
If you move, you lose a stack
sounds horrible
Infiltrator pants?
idk
i just keep playing and get random popups saying i did something cool, here’s some pants
Let me tell you how.
H1 mercantile.
Crouch infront of door in the kitchen with another player killing specials.
Just melee spam for 50 mins.
Done.
Can be faster if bots don't keep ksing.
You seem to think I know someone who would do that
Or suffer it myself 
I literally turned on turbo on my controller to just light spam with trigger held.
You did it, didn't you?
I did it with the stealth stagger as well.
Just press the right bumper every 45 secs or so.
Nope, only 4-500 kills in, needed to stop for a bit lol
Stealth wasn't so bad, just stealth and mag dump a horde
Your teammates will hate you but it is what it is 
Err, stealth just required you to stagger.
Suppression, no?

Is why I did it alongside the other.
Are you kidding me?
The melee hit breaks stealth and staggers everything near.
And since I took knoife...
They don't instantly die.
So hurp.
You literally don't need to shoot hordes.
Just pop out in melee near them.
I have them all but WS done.
Mostly cos I have a hard time aiming for heds in 6 secs.
I got the 4 consecutive hedshots using a recon so....
If you spray enough at a pogryn's hed, you will rng it somehow.
Are these stats gonna suck or am I safe to proceed with upgrades? too lazy to get a better one
Trash.
Better to just dump thermal if you don't wanna gamble.
68 thermal 72 charge also works, but you gotta be willing to quick vent on last shot.
Got it
does deadshot work with plasma?
Nope
I got this by accident by just playing normally with an infantry lasgun
Turns out you can shoot people in the head
try infantry autoguns as well
ive never tried but why wouldnt it work for plasma? other braced weapons work with deadshot
or rather, why doesnt it work
they should make it congruent with other braceds
i agree
Idk why it doesn't
But I know it doesn't
It's excluded in the code for some reason. Deadshot Shocktrooper plasma would be fun. I'd actually like the no ammo on crit to be weapon independent.
i had the same thought recently
hey man veteran can have a little overpowered as a treat
psyker already has staves 
But what's overpowered look like now? Are the reworked ogryn and psyker the new benchmark?
this is why "veteran dies in melee" is on the bingo card, right next to "psyker blows up (pub)" and "ogryn gets lost"
i vaguely remember they stated they didnt want talents that only apply to specific weapon categories
they could make shock trooper give extra ammo on ammo pickups for bullet weapons
synergy with survivalist
boom
Ogryn and Zealot are leagues tankier if we’re ignoring VOC
Psyker not so much
The tree still has some small problems
Now Oggy yeah that should be the standard
