mk2 relic blade is 10% higher dps by being 500% the complexity
so yea mk10 is better
exactly
u mean the orange one?
but funny uppercut
idk the fastest one
which it does not have
take red nodes
u are far likelier to hit new breakpoints with those that work on demand compared to some niche 0.005% scenario that only OCD is making you try to get
HMMMMMM, it doesn't let me one-shot moebian 21st enemy in 1 shot even with unarmored dmg...so i dislike that xD
maybe I will
las gun moment
why are u trying to horde clear with gun
and you shoot like twice as fast
so you don't give a shit about breakpoints
for havoc
it's like you're trying to optimize for breakpoints
in a mode famously anti-breakpoints
while not understanding whatsoever what actually matters for optimizing for breakpoints
don't worry, longshot's got him
cuz it actually kinda works pretty nice with ilasgun lol idk what to tell ya
4.8 mass 843.75 health horde enemies that spawn 30+ at a time
you're trying to horde clear them with a gun that has 1.5 cleave
whatever math you're thinking is not working the way you hope it works
I'm aware I'm not penning 2 enemies at a time
i just hip fire and dodge
bring a power sword it's not that complicated
I do
This was mostly a 3-man game lol.
Ogryn getting the most damage w/o Psyker inferno staff, that's no surprise xD.
then why are u trying to build horde clear breakpoint on gun
I do use it, in tandem with everything
it's jsut nice to have ig
you're doing completely nonsensical things
I mean hey, I'm just gonna say that you guys have very valid points, and I'm not complete off-table on changing things up with my build
but does it make that big of a difference? Even if it's somewhat less effective? I got the important components in there anyway
you're taking iron will now right?
VoC, ammo aura
yes, if I play VoC I will take iron will
DUH
that's a whole other level of silly if you don't when playing VoC
well you should be taking it even without voc tbh
it's always nice to have a bit of dmg resistance sure
if vet ever gets the orgyn treatment, iron will will definitely be one of the talents at the very top center of the tree
(i.e., mandatory)
but if I can survive even without it for the most parts, taking the least dmg still and making do without, idk if it's ENTIRELY necessary
it can make a huge difference, especially if you're a good player
if you're getting hit all the time, you're fucked anyway 
and iron will won't help you
wait this is confusing to me, you're saying surviving with iron will is "more impressive" than surviving without iron will?

why would u not take iron will
there are very few talents remotely as good
nah it's more impressive to me if you can regularly clear high havoc without iron will
because you're purposely gimping your build
if there's a level 30 vet build, i expect to see iron will on it
choosing longshot over iron will is a special kind of mental gymnastics that I cannot comprehend
this and that man, these aint the same builds i'm talking about xD
you should take iron will even on the ES build
the only reasons to not take iron will are (a) if you're not level 30 or (b) you get hit all the time and die anyway
i dont take iron will cause im a god
dont want to sound conceited, but those aint the case for me I'll tell ya that xD, really
ok yeah possibility (c)
you're a god at the game
shrimply don't get hit
Possibility (d)eez nuts
just max damage talents who gets hit
that's the idea
to elaborate, I do take Iron Will with VoC builds, cuz over-toughness, and since Executioner stance doesnt really do that, I just think it's not as great with. Obviously damage reduction is always good so it's not entirely out of the question.
honestly iron will's mostly for saving your ass if you take a hit every once in a while, though obviously synergizes very well with golden toughness (which there's plenty of in havoc)
in H40, with 95 toughness, without Iron will 1 hit from groaner depletes your toughness but doesnt go to HP, but next hit go straight to HP + corruption anyway.
With iron will 1 hit from groaner depletes to like 36 toughness, but the next hit go straight to HP+corruption anyway. So idk, it's more or less the same thing without golden toughness
well it's obviously reducing the amount you get fucked by the groaner
and most of the time
it does, I'm not really refuting that at all, but it's still basically a 2-hit HP dmg right?
you will take one hit and then get away/protect yourself
so it's a pretty meaningful difference
if you're getting hit multiple times by a groaner
iron will is considerably less useful
and something has gone horribly wrong anyway
iron will's good at protecting you from one-off random hits that you weren't able to account for
but if both with and without protects your main HP bar, while also leave your HP bar vulnerable for a second hit, then is there really a difference?
groaner gets me to like 1toughness remaining here from 1 hit without iron will
while yes with iron will, I still got 36 toughness, but that's still paper armor considering H40 xD
i mean do you ever only get hit by groaners?
you can run through every scenario if you want, but there's a reason why most consider iron will an essential/mandatory talent on the vet tree
touche i guess
I suppose it does help tank shotgunners a bit better
or maybe a volley from scab shooter or so
but I suppose my bolter basically one-shots + stun them all in an AoE (bolt explosion) anyway usually, without letting them even get a chance to shoot, so yeah, but I suppose it does have its occasional value
PATH DONT
@quiet valley hey mmf works pretty well with laspistol build
cause finesse influences the crit damage
Its good dmg scaling, you need to swap Deadshot to Reciprocity and DumDum to Desperado, since MMF stam regen is worse than Focus Target
Its good I just like Deadshot/FT because of how consistent the dmg is in Havoc
I should try MMF for my inf lasgun build again
You should take iron will on every build regardless of ability
yeah i'm gonna take it now since u guys are recommending it so much xD
sad that I lose field improv tho
Field improv is bad talent tbh
I mean, I don't need it
Not worth a point, the 60s node is way better value
but it does come in clutch whenever u cant reach a ritual in time and gotta fight, and just give +2 grenades to zealot or ogryn xD
sometimes
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
not worth for you alone of course
it is pretty nice to have tho, I especially love it when vets bring it when I'm playing ogryn or zealot xD
Corruption cleanse can have insane value
yeah especially when I bring the 15%TDR aura on zealot
Vet tree is so tight on good nodes that an "ok" node is not worth taking
i'm not gonna die on field improv's hill haha
In launch havoc, yes, purely for blight
just saying it's nice
Rn, not nearly as much
Field improv is a luxury you take when you have a spare point and nothing good to grab
that depends on your team tho
I would rather take skirmisher over field improv
Based Skirmisher
there are some good nodes I'm willing to give up tbh
gonna give this a try later
No killzone 💀
You have no support for Deadshot why are you taking it
support?
Stam regen from MMF or FT
maybe I'm gonna rely on Ghost, letting enemies shoot at me and giving me stamina
dunno how that's gonna work out
but I'm gonna try
alrighty then
plus, I tried Target down yesterday, the stamina regen from it is nice but you burn through it so fast anyway xD
That’s like
The dumbest way to regen stamina on veteran
Unironically
U don’t have duck and dive
it can never go under 1 stack of FT thats 5% toughness/stam for your whole team per mark
U have to actually get below 50% stamina, get hit, get your toughness obliterated, to get stamina back
Ghost doesn’t participate in that whatsoever
I outpace deadshot stam decay on Recon las with FT
XIV ofc
Infantry should be easy to manage
My teams be getting corrupted to hell
Too bad for them
L haha
What’s even doing all that corruption
You have to eat unnecessary melee hits to accumulate corruption beyond normal
I'm not gonna disagree with that lmao, this is kinda bombastic anyway, I just tested, you do get stamina get from enemies shooting at you but it's not too consistent, and GHost doesnt do much lol
No you don’t even understand how the damage stamina gain system works
It only works when you go below 50% stamina
And it only gives you stamina for taking damage
Avoiding damage (like with ghost) = no stamina
hp or tough?
Any
k
Not sure about corruption
yeah fair enough, I never really looked into that mechanic specifically
you learn sth new every day
veteran isnt exactly my main xD
maybe I'll take Tunnel Vision
could maybe work for stam regen
There’s a stinky bonberman
Its uptime is good
If they didn’t copy paste code straight from Ogryn’s payback time it’ll be ok
i'm VERY aware, but this isnt exactly a conventional build i'm trying out xD, it's mostly meme, and you gotta take it for what it is lol
just tryna go ScabsAteMyLegs's footsteps here xD
so far I'm testing without killzone, all the breakpoints are pretty on point, so it might be diminishing return if I take it
so far.
It cleans up your breakpoints and is extra dmg against bosses, the Inf Las also has inverse dmg drop off too iirc
yes I have that taken into account, the inverse dmg drop off
extra boss dmg is nice ig
Breakpoints on Havoc are messy anyway with buffs up and down for you and enemies
yes I'm aware, I am testing in a H40 sandbox
There’s like a total of 2 veteran weapons actually worth breakpoint building to some extent in havoc
Both need red nodes for breakpoints
shame they need ability activation, i'm not too big of a fan of inconsistency, at least the middle red node buffs allies too
Available on demand means controlled consistency
As opposed to “oops I accidentally blocked a rager attack now my killzone is gone”
dont get me wrong, I probably do prefer red nodes over killzone xD
Or “man I hope that enemy is at least 27.82m away so longshot can actually do enough damage to change smth”
I mean I suppose u aint wrong, but given how my teams can be like sometimes, it's pretty hard for "controlled consistency" lol, sometimes u gotta spam VoC as much as you can to not let them die
I once had a vet in H40, he was like Havoc rank 35 or sth and he basically used VoC like...idk, 20-25 times or sth the entirety 40 mins match or something
maybe more, but it was NOT a lot
it was pretty rough for everyone lmao
was he using revive shout 
NO
he was saving it for himself
basically
"teammates losing all toughness? NAH, im saving it for myself"
so tbh, I'd rather use VoC as a mean to support team with healing rather than for my own dps opportunities, tho they can line up no doubt
Just play like a normal person and use VoC aggressively
#veteran-class message @tall torrent what is this...
it confused a friend of mine
and I have no clue what it is
old outdated shit
i think that was back when charge rate
affected actual damage lol
something super cursed like that
back then charge rate was bugged to affect dmg
and 71% was sweet spot for maximizing dmg so u don't lose breakpoints
because plasma is very stingy on breakpoints
now, u still want that but only for minmax purposes
just saw the new BL4 gameplay deep dive
oh?
might need to postpone guide by another 3 months
lmao
it looks pretty good
borderlands 4
nah it actually looks pretty cool
a lot of requested features
In today's special State of Play presentation, Creative Director Graeme Timmins and Senior Project Producer Anthony Nicholson showed off the deepest ever look at Borderlands 4's explosive, carnage-filled gameplay, including:
😎 4 New Vault Hunters
🧨 WILDEST Weapons Ever
💨 New Traversal Mechanics
🌎 Seamless New Planet to Explore
Brea...
it's been a rly long time since western developers actually showed long gameplay footage in their promos lol
is randy pitchford involved at all or
yes
rip
he's in the video at the start lol
maybe still play anyway if they take lessons from tiny tina's wonderland at least
mixing two classes was fun
just watch the deep dive it's actually done pretty well
yeah, that's basically the intention lol
By the time it's out, I'll be gone, isn't it?
exe bolter is kino i slept on it for too long
you can really drag your crosshair through a gunner pack and kill 15 immediately
gotta say that servoskull mod gale mentioned makes for some atmospheric dark missions
zealot guide finished before yours lmao
frfr, it's not even bad in H40
borderlands 3 had a shit story but good gameplay\
before i started playing bl3 i read youre better off muting all dialogue, and i wish i had heeded that advice.
cutscene skip mod would be more important
Game crashed right as I was about to dodge a crusher overhead.
Lol.
Is hotshot still bugged and its better to choose blessing alt 1
Yup yup
Can't believe they got Bosco in Atoma
Had anyone like reported the hotshot thing
Hey kuli take out that second point ehh
Watching a veteran use a shredder autopistol as his only weapon.
I haven't seen him use any melee at all.

Zealot shooting a bolter at a burster when he is free to just shove.
Feels like the Ogryn on the team is the only one actually playing, and I'm just dead.
is it toxic to say if you have voc you really should never get hit by bursters
just had a voc vet get downed by like 3 in a single game
unless it's a difficult havoc mission I'd err on the side of not saying anything
or at least be courteous
👍
I think I've only spoken up about someone else's atrocious play only once so far, it was a psyker that never, ever switched off assail and got downed like 20 times throughout the mission
i used to talk shit a lot but ive realized it isnt worth it and also tilting your teammates isnt gonna help them improve
pmuch, it's a waste of time
worse still if you ever get matched up with them again and they remember you and retaliate
everyone has a better time if you just take the L sometimes
yup
It’s also a good way for people to learn from their mistakes. Only way to get better is to fail.
Obviously it’s an issue if someone keeps failing and blames it on everyone else, though 😂
my favorite is the absolute shitters trying to shit-talk in chat
like, you're the only one going down, and the rest of us are the ones that suck?
Dude is getting swarmed by poxwalkers and still refuses to pull out a melee weapon.
Bruh.
This happens for sure. I never shit talk anyone, but I’ve definitely pushed forward as say, a zealot, having my group with me, only to turn around a few seconds later to find everyone’s moved backwards, leaving me dealing with a horde or something alone.
But that just taught me not to over extend. Hard lesson to learn but it leads to much success!
I don't take this game seriously enough to care if I'm matched with someone who needs to be carried. But people who start shit when they're clearly the worst player by a mile and a half? Screw 'em, they deserve to be made fun of.
Could've been me if I wasn't using brainburst

Would a Hellbore Lasgun + Shovel combo be a bad idea in high difficulty games? Even though I’m pretty sure as long as shredder nades are my primary weapon not much else matters.
Fanfiction is written better than the base game story.
not really
maybe in h40
but you can definitely make that work in auric mael
Nah you can make it work on h40
helbore's essentially just a plasma gun if it was slower to swap to
Literally Helbore Hotshot with shovel is used on havoc
Because Hotshot applies to melee

Shits goofy
But you gotta use hotshot 1
Hitmass being the one thing that really makes Havoc feel like a slog
excellent I shall do this now
also is it bad that I kind of like weapons having blessings that can apply to your other weapons
I do feel like I'm missing something with shovel, or maybe I just like the ogryn shovel way more

yeah because ogryn in general is way stronger rn lol
yea I just dunno what to really do with it
or I just have a huge bias for devil's claw
Both have similar roles, Shovel is better in Havoc b/c it can apply Skullcrusher for your team
wouldn't use either in havoc because i need a crutch weapon 
smh
also why do people say the flip shovels are worse?
If you are full melee build you can kill armor with Uncanny on MK1
I think they are fine if you need to a pinch of extra armor dmg on your build
havoc has alot of elites that are a death sentence when you are locked in the impale animation
same issue with chain weapons
As I never touched that weapon before - is there a way to vent with plasma gun without going into a full reload +animation? Saw people do that in videos but dont know how as reload/vent is usually the same button
Special button
That works, thank you sir
If you're shooting uncharged shots
It'll auto vent at 100% heat
If you're charging shots, it'll detonate at 100 %
I just noticed myself, that also explains a lot of what I have seen in a certain havoc gameplay video
Don’t bother with charged shots
hmm, whats more consistent with exe bolter, crits or flat dmg
every time I pick reciprocity, it ends up being undewhelming
crusher with the steel chair
Certainly some maliciously coordinated AI there.
indeed
skill issue 
legit I play executioner bolter with this build right here, you can basically one-shot headshot every gunner/elite if you tag them a bit, and basiaclly guranteed headshot kill or so in stance, and you really don't even need surgical or crit.
Crouching burgle, hidden crusher
Gloryhunter 💀
yeah I was just testing it out
it was basically the same 3-4 headshot kills on Crusher anyway so why not, even with brittle
for just a wee bit extra toughness regen lol
surgical shattering
every time I go reciprocity, it ends up giving 10% crit at most
prolly better with knife, but I've played enough knife for a lifetime
Surgical Pinning Fire is my pick for H40, Flak/Unyielding
I only play havoc
Puncture basically rounds out all of my one-shot breakpoints so I like it, plus it helps with boss dmg
so I always got Puncture
Pinning fire is nice but whenever your stacks run out without any enemies around to stagger and u need to one-shot kill this dude but u can't is just annoying to me xD
you dont need pinning for breakpoints
and shattering sees a lot more value against bosses
yeah, I havented taken pinning for a while
pinning is for Armor waves
shattering imapct is always nice
Shattering doesnt really do anything on boss dmg
not on boss, but on crusher
I was just wondering how would reciprocity + surgical / cavalvade do high havoc
but I found I basically took the same 3 rounds to kill crusher in H40 with and without shattering impact
Reciprocity with Bolter is a bad pick
so I just opted for another blessing, hence Gloryhunter xD
honestly, I dont bother with crits on bolter on vet
shattering + close quarter killzone is only there to delete monsters really
for zealot yes, but vet, not necessary
cavalcade is just hard-meme I think xD
yea, I usually want +100% finesse bonuses to consider investing in crits
suprised u dont got grenade regen
^ Surgical Pinning
I kinda wanted desperado for devil's claw, can just do your build with knife, but meh
given how high bolter's dmg is, honestly it really doesnt matter what blessing u take most of the times lol
Why would you not go Deadshot/Surgical, it skyrockets your Crit for nearly no investment
cuz I'm already one-shotting every gunner anyway so I guess it's just unnecessary to me I guess, but I have tried it
because +60% finesse bonus on bolters are not good enough for me
deadshot is great but generally i dont like to have my stamina drained lol
Its so free, the bolter has great dmg per shot, focus target easily outpaces stam drain
I can outpace deadshot XIV Recon las with Focus Target lmao
if you want to run crit bolter sure, but I mean it's also great without, plus bleed = extra boss dmg xD
they buffed the shit outta it
you don't really have time to build up stacks under pressure tho
so the stamina regen is null
Your pickups 
Focus target can not go under 1 stack
I do have 60 melee/140 ranged elite kills xD
I've been running crit bolter with exe
too many hoops to jump thru to make crit work for me
it has so much better boss damage than bleed
I'm a simple man
and bleed doesn't matter much when you one shot everything anyways
I ain't even running FT stamina
It’s 1 talent point and a blessing
I'm just quickscoping
You are already taking Focus Target
oh yea, quickscoping helps a lot
when you dont stance up it doesnt, bleed finishes off a lot of gunners from my playing. Plus it basically means 1 less shot to kill Reaper
and well, basically crusher, mauler, etc...
Seems overkill to take Suppression node
3 points spent on reload nodes 
Might be just me but reload isn't that long
Qq when mag touched the gun and do it while sliding
Could’ve picked up reciprocity while still having tac reload
What for Bolter?
Yes
If so hot take its reload is perfectly balanced imo lmao
It hits incredibly hard and the reload isn’t incredibly long
It’s just slightly more than an IAG cause I mean it’s a glorified GL
just tac reload and call it a day
u do the 3-step reload cancel?
I don't remember where the scoreboard is, but I outdamages 2 ogryn and a purge psyker with the bolter
And I only did the qq when reloading
I’m noticing though plasma and Bolter are like the two solid choices to actually compete with psyker and Ogryn
Everything else you really got to put work in
Or they’re just oblivious players
im seeing a lot less plasma vets these days
Such an exciting meta
Plasma is beyond fucking boring to me so I’m mainly using Bolter
same here
That’s my boring meta choice pick of those two
first pick of boring meta is always gonna be recon
if im goig shooty vet im taking my vigil auto
don't have to hit head
Oh yeah true Crit strings lmao
Ugh why did you have to remind me
Before they repeatedly nerfed bayonet
melee vets decent too
I mean Rashad is good on everyone
limbsplitter + brutal momentum
ps6 with db to trigger the damage bonus
i thank @quiet valley for his laspistol X build for h40 so i dont have to pick reocn plasma bolter anymore 
Certain shovel builds and Powersword are pretty staple melee builds though
shovel still is not good
I might swap the db with a lethal prox bolt pistol though for long range specials
Its really bad vs the morbian modifier though, esp without a psyler
ok
I wish I could take more reload speed
Show me
Plasma could never
plasma does way better but still decent
Look at ammo pickups ofc
i know laspistols are good
i just say the should not do more damage than ilas's
its meant to be used 😤
ammo being such a limiting factor for a certain subclasses is a balance issue, like psyker is a very strong ranged class with unlimited ammo. why nerf ammo when you give other classes almost unlimited ammo
?
But I want to roleplay as a kreig
No one's stopping you
You’re more than welcome to die for the emperor

Ammo? you mean Rumbler food?
glumbler build prob uses the most ammo in the game
Can I also die for the emperor pls 🥺 👉👈

Shredder ap aint bad on vet
It’s also a fine sidearm on zealot
It's just in the meh territory not the best not terrible, like it doesnt do range that well obviously and its pretty ammo hungry, also doesn't synergize with ws that well as a quick pull out
It’s the perfect thunder hammer sidearm though
It’s the perfect relic blade sidearm
it's perfect
Relic has gotten kinda boring so I was doing Ironhelm IJ to try it out
I like it on psyker too
Mhm
Decent fgs sidepiece
It feels quite good for how much damage it packs on crits, FGS for full melee, Shredder for mid range and assail for anti sniper work seems like a decent pairing
All tied on a gaze ribbon
Yeah helps offset the bad mobility of fgs too
And people hated me for saying shredder is good
I've been saying it for the past like 5 months
Smh
😔
Lmao
We're not vindicating you
And I'm not forgetting that SAP was meta, then trash, then good
I like using shredder autopistol as a mobility stick with heavy melee weapons. The ability to shoot while sprinting is also useful.
ook
while I'm not convinced about crit bolter, deadshot deadly accurate bistol slaps HARD
Deadshot gang
hey guys, for the devils claw what perks do you put on it?
and blessings
nah. he spammed 3 channels with that question. just giving him what he deserved.
i know weapon is garbo, but why are we laughting at the madman that can't search the pins?
maniac
flak
shred
rampage
do you prefer bolt pistol or boltgun and why chat
do you run out of ammo on the bolter in five minutes?
Anyways Bistol
😠
3 actually
On my worst days
2 on my best

both are very good and serve diff purposes
do go on
over there!
Fast draw time
bistol?
Bistol
you mean the gun whose main purpose is to buff my frags?
Command Voicey
I didn't know where to ask so I put it in all, my bad guys hahaha
btw most of the info you need can be found in pins
for each class
including weapons blessings/perks
there's guides in the pins
for vet the guide is called hammer of the emprah
bit old, but still relevant
Oh sweettt, are the info updated if there's like a patch on something or if something changed om a weapon then they change it in the information?
there's a new version of the vet guide being worked on
so the one in the pins is a bit old
but it doesn't matter since vet/vet weapons have hardly seen any changes 
New Vet weapon 2025 guys
zealot guide should be up to date
psyker stuff is a bit more scattered since the main guide is very old now
but there's builds, and for non-psyker specific weapons, you can look at the other class guides
thanks mann, i appreciate itt
just ask me
I am taking infernus again on my ilas, been playing ghost but basing on scoreboard I'm dealing jack-all boss dmg without infernus :\
well it's the other meta vet weapon for havoc
it is rng reliant with crits, but generally being able to kill a whole Beast of Nurgle with infernus ilas with almost half ammo pool remaining VS spending all ammo with Ghost ilas but only being able to get a Beast of Nurgle down to roughly 15-ish% HP. I think I'll just take Infernus and play a bit safer, help out with boss-killing more xD
left is infernus, right is ghost ofc
you dont see it as much as plasma ofc, but it's more than viable
most people just like easy aim shooty with plasma ig :\
I just need something to specifically target gunners with that's ammo efficient and I figured recon would do the job
it's more than viable for that
recon las is definitely good for that
personally I dont think it's too big of a deal, but yes it basicaly has the exact same wield time as bolter lol, and I dont even think bolter's is that bad
most of the times playing helbore, I use the green/blue one with armourbane, basically just mow down into horde, and their bayonet is actually quite respectable too
Whoops power outage
I just wish they would speed it up or there was animation cancel tech which are both pipe dreams
It's incredibly ammo efficient but the wield time is so fucked for higher havocs
I meant to say I use hellbore a lot as both horde.clear and elite killing xD
i suppose if u use the orange one then it does matter more, but using the other 2 variants with pretty good bayonet attack, I wouldnt really say it's so fucked. If you can manage with bolter, u can manage with this
i didnt get the little insignia for rogue trader
sad
i thought we just had to log in on the 30th to get
It’s weapon trinket
yeah i still dont see it
And it’s shown sideways for some reason
It looks pretty cool
Unfortunately every trinket in this game clips into either weapon or your character’s hand
Or both
(That’s because it is)
I only ever see vets on 40s running plasma
irrelevant, use LasX hehe
then started doing 40s on my vet
LasX gaming
Laspistol MkX
Flak
might try it because I was trying to just pure focus gunners for the team
Tbh the only guns I wouldn't use in H40 are the braced autos, inf autos, shotguns, and shredder AP.
The rest are viable imo
this was from a match I just played with the recon and was just beaming specials and the gunners while the ogryn was spamming rumbler into bosses
bout to try the LasX
Here's what I use https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9da7999f-314a-47e5-a245-2df66897ac31/ammo-fountain-havoc-40
Can do H40 no ammo pickups
Doesn't that pistol have a higher base crit rate as well or am I remembering wrong
yes
why do you use the X instead of the mk2
Deadshot. uses less stam, hits good breakpoints on Gunners/specials for one shots
Valid
And somehow miss.
Dump collateral. Maybe?
That ferret clearly has PTSD indicative of a veteran
That ferret is activating his voice of command
Guide says Plasma Gun should partially dump thermal and charge rate - I now rolled a 60% charge 80% everything else, is this usable as well?
Yes if you can deal with the slight delay between each shot
you basically want as much charge rate as possible while being able to hit 8 shots consecutively
which comes out to 70/70ish plus or minus 1
68 point something thermal and 71 charge so generally 69 thermal 71 charge
I see, thanks guys
Probably will have to roll with 60 charge as I returned to the game and dont have infinite resources yet, plasteel/diamantite are easy to get but dockets burn so fast when you try to get the right roll
I heard current curio meta is usually 3x toughness or 2x and 3stam 1x
Perks for vet any different or also mainly gunner res and more toughness/stam regen? As broken as VoC is, I assume we could also go with 3x cd reduction
this doesnt stack with revive speed curios does it?
(I know its bad dont take it dont take it its bad)
im just asking about the question
no clue but I use the talent on my infil build anyways 😎 fuck the haters
I don't think vent purge increases sniper spawns on its own
that only happens in the sniper gauntlet ventilation purge modifier
To be fair, I don't see that node working well on Havoc Not be cause of damage, but because at that level if any one person is downed things are poised to go south so fast you won't even get to do the revive...
I can see the benefits for standard/Auric though
(Even though I don't use it)
I personally use it as im the kind of person to SPRING onto downed players, though i dont know if the revive speed is actually THAT helpful
the movement speed thing sounds cool but I'm seldom so far away that it could even matter
I mean, I do to TBH, but I do end up relying on Shout (w/o revive), Frag Spam and Bolter Spam to clear the area a bit, then do the res
To compensate for the longer - well, original - res time.
Does stack
If you don’t have resources, I recommend 60 thermal because you only lose 1 shot
But having a shorter prefire delay makes it feel a lot better to play
Something Field Improv. Also, they stack. Might be overkill though.
Real.
In my perview Veteran has a bucket ton of stuff I'd expect of zealot
But I think I'm unique in that I view Zealot as the more support guy that Veteran thats a thing I cant really grow out of
You mean my Zealot that plays like a no inf ammo Vet.
Supporting the team as zealot by destroying everything with a big sword.
Supporting the team as veteran by destroying everything with a smaller sword and a gun.
I look like that and say that
I really don't like using knives.
I mean, the speed they give is amazing, but I don't like them as weapons.
I am fine with them so heh.

Look you may have our hearts and minds with those ferrets but you can't have uh, what else is there actually?
Hello, do we have any build guide to reference?
i've checked pin already, the compendium is absolutely good but i'm confusing in skill tree to pick the good one
What weapons?
Path should have added some examples at the end of the guide, but it might have been removed idk
Yeah
Pick Voice of Command plus Duty and Honor. Boom, you're already like 70% of the way there.
can you explain the playstyle of Commando's tree?
Great loadout-agnostic skills that instantly spike your power.
i dont thinkg i can be a leader lol
The what tree?
The Commando one
Is that a thing from before the skill tree rework?
What is the commando one?
I faintly remember each class (maybe?) having three separate trees on release, but that was forever ago and I pretty much quit right after release date
Only came back a few months ago
oh sorry, Weapons's specialist
That's still pretty vague, lots of weapons work with WS
in the doc's sheet from Pin, i saw it was called as commando
yes, the WS
Are you asking for a build and doesn't matter what the build is trying to do?
Tbh weapons specialist is kinda peepeedoodoo imo
i just see a player who played with smoke and control the Sniper behind the smoke
WS is probably the best keystone rn
that's all i can describe
I'm just saying I personally don't care for it
The veteran is already pretty strong. You don't really need a keystone if you'd rather have more passive perks
Vet is probably the weakest class atm, it really needs a rework for the keystones 💀
That just sounds like a skill issue dawg 💀
If these thing is hard to guide me, i think i want to pick: Power blade + Recon Lasgun as my main combo
Recon Lasgun is definitely a popular meta pick.
No I'm a Vet main and I run duo level 40 havocs
I can say that the other classes have more flexibility and horde control for their builds
wow 😄
Vet's only strength in havoc is specialist killing
Get the highest firerate mark and the Onslaught perk, and it can melt through pretty much anything if you got the ammo
And the hipfire is good so you can just hose down gunners and snipers from your hip
It sounds nice!
Onslaught is a bait on Recon
It's good, but it's counterproductive on how you actually use the gun
Recon is an excellent specialist killer, not a crusher killer
How about the tree? can you help me just 1 example to ref
You can definitely hose down a crusher if it's out of your reach yet threatening a teammate who wandered too far ahead
This is what I use on a WS build: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9cd2f33a-0c28-4fe7-afef-3a716810ec24/meta-gamer-tryhard-xxxxfazeclanxxxx-society-build?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button
This is not a havoc build btw
has anyone tested brittleness vs unyielding? how much is the damage increase?
Brittle is better for the team
i think i can not go into Havoc this time
i should max out level first
This is what I personally bring into auric missions. The exact weapons don't matter: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ed0e751-a6cf-4940-b4ae-653427ff0915/brainless-chill?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button
Yes, thank you all of you.
i will take a look ❤️
yo i think your talents got shifted exactly one aura to the right
also not taking ws when you're 1 point away from it in a dedicated melee build is kinda weird
you could prob drop determined for reciprocity
nah that's fair on recon las
no thats perfectly fine
this I dont understand
ye but then there's no free crits or ammo aura?
also u dont take this for some reason
busted talent
it's like am mini WS stacked on top of the WS u already have
the crit is on only one shot, basically useless on recon las
ammo aura isn't necessary for recon las anyway
im pretty sure recons have crit strings of 2
true, AE is a good pickup
it's good in havoc because long game modes get more value out of it
even ify ou don't take WS
well ok i can get behind ammo aura but 2 nodes instead of actual talents is weird
the main reason u take SURV is for the frags tbh,
true
i take surv cause there's gonna be 3 ogryns in the team
surv isn't going to be enough for 3 ogryns 😭
its the least you can do
yeah surv is way overestimated after the nerf, it gives you about 1 large ammo pack per game on average (20-30 minutes)
actual vet meta
for 4 people
that's not exactly true either, because not everyone needs the ammo
also, if zealots for example only uses their flamer in specific situations, u might overcap
this also doesn't account to an ammo drop
because it gives u 100% ammo
before one dog wave was half of ammo back
surv's value is consistently giving u ammo not the total really
it still is a load of ammo tbh
that's why it's strong in havoc where u are bogged down for minutes at a time
if you are going thru the run smoothly, u just pick up ammo
that was obviously op, but i think surv got overnerfed
yeah before surv nerf dog missions were really likes mostly because you could just shoot for whole of the match
would changing it from 1% on 5 sec dooldown to 3% on 5 sec cooldown too much of a buff
on bolter it not gice you 3 ammo instead of 1
the problem is that 5% is insanely high
even if u put the cooldown on it
3% not 5%
i still think 3% is too high
the problem is that the cooldown is inconsistent
u might have a huge wave of elites coming in when u have the cooldown, and nothing when it's off
would probably be higher on havocs with more elite density
maybe, have something like every person on the team has an individual cooldown
that way it rewards you for killing elites quickly for eveyrone
sparse spawns benefit the new survivalist
If I run a bleed focused build (flechette double barrel, shredder grenades) would it be worth it to add serrated blade? Or is it just too weak of a talent?
That’s literally my build
i think chainswords have it?
In their active? I don't recall if they do but I think Caxes have something like that
don't you need a blessing for that?
Yeah, knifes apply with no blessings?
no, I don't think so, there's a blessing that applies bleeding on non weakspot hits and another that applies bleeding on critical hits
I think you need a blessing or tree node for bleed on weapons
Nothing has it innately
yeah i don't believe knives just innately bleed
there's a few talents that also cause melee to apply bleed on hit but no weapon procs bleed by default
if they did the blessings wouldn't exist
i think chainswords and knives are the only ones who can get bleed through blessings
chain weapons as a whole have bloodletter iirc
evis doesn't
Pretty sure it has bloodletter
evis has bloodletter???
if someone can check it please
i need to use that weapon more
with photo evidence
It's just not that useful on it tbh
Evis can bleed
And maybe all chain weapons
Might be wrong on that
I don't use chaxe or chain sword
Chaxe has bloodletter 100%
thx
becuase noone using it
very true
Bloodletter is really only used on IJ builds if you aren't running shred
For the guaranteed crit for crusher/mauler 1 shot
I cry for how bad the reving is on most chain weapons, coolest part of the weapon and is so unrewarding
I retract this statement, I thought we were talking about bloodthirsty
Bloodletter bad
chainsword an chaxe bloodletter is better
Does bloodletter even work on non-activated hits now?
Nuh uh
Couldn't get any bleeding from chaxe IV lights in psychanium
it needs to be revved
shotguns and bolt weapons do too
Flechette/Puncture
this does not please the @tired egret
oh right you want 69% heat resistance don't you
nice and hot 
yes this is how i remembered it
Hold on... i thourght it was 68%?
Chainsword dump stat?
Mobility
XIIIg imo
God bless
The IV(?) does so little damage without the rev
XIIIg is better, both are likely the worst melee in the game
Which combat knife mark do you guys use? VI or III?
VI
taxe improved that much?
taxe is good on psyker and zealot
Vet melee options are quite lacking due minimal flat melee damage bonuses
I find it funny that the iconic 40k guns like the bolt pistol and plasma gun are amazing while the iconic melee (chain swords) suck balls 
Chain sword sucks balls?
What about eviseractor?
I'm unfamiliar with the meta
I just click heretic heads
Evis3 sucks
Evis15 is goated but has it's problems
On psyker and veteran you have better options
On zealot, the Xiiig is hidden op
Evis3 sucks so much that the Xiiig is better

How so
besides the chain rev attack taking forever to perform and not stunning what you hit (meaning they can hit you to disrupt it or force you to dodge and cancel it anyways) evis can only damage 4 enemies per swing iirc
Better horde clear
Better carapace damage on revs
Problem?
Rev increase the cleave yeah?
From 4 to 6
Not bad
Wrath blessing can help it
Nope
Rev light just with bloodthirsty
Cleave blessings don't change the damage cap
Yeah wrath just increasing cleave not damage along with it
Memeing rev move speed and bloodthirsty 
What was the other thing about Evis 3 being bad
Oh yeah the cleave modifier against maniacs
The push horde cleave
Is always push cleave
What’s your opinion on relic because they don’t have some braindead move set. @tame lodge
Make sense people hate brain dead move set
Only me liked
Mk15 Evis and mk12 chainaxe
All braindead moveset
Even ds4 and mk4 dclaw
The only thing I almost like the relic blade mk10 if they don’t have the poke on third attack
The fgs second mark one is also braindead moveset light horde clear and heavy single target
I use a lot of it
Push attack is great poke attack
Relic I almost liked but didn’t like the 3rd pattern poke
Why you don't like it? Isn't that poke good for headshooting that rager/mauler in the middle of the horde?
I like the push attack does the poke, it didn’t like light attack pattern disrupt trash mob killing it make bad timing
It’s great for mixed hordes
And block cancel prevents the poke
Nah I like simple moveset
I don’t want to memorize move set
Mental gymnasium
I play variety loadout hard to track memorize moveset this and that
It’s already brain dead simple
You could even just light spam for hordes
Doesn’t matter much
I did said I like braindead weapon
I replace skin of Evis 15 to relic blade head
I like relic if they don’t have the poke on third swing
Hardly matters and it’s good for mixed hordes
Poke the pox walker, you still have some great swings to clean hordes
Well like fgs the after push and poke is my simple action I do when come crusher or ragers
On ragers
What’s first heavy attack on mk10 relic blade?
Overhead? Poke?
Tell me does the relic blade stagger elite on light attack?
And I will consider add on my list
Not count with poke; because I know poking does stagger
on or off. also why is this in veterean not zealot
It was start from this
Off
On work like increase cleave and damage similar to power sword
ok
the answer is probably no because when off, the relic blade is a plastic lightsaber and does literally nothing
also because the actual answer is probably "try it yourself" because this is not something trivially answerable without trying it
It’s not that bad. You’re describing the power sword
The relic blade is actually usable when unpowered
"if she breathes, She's a heretic"
well yeah you can still club a heretic to death but it's uncomfortable :p
Hmmmm
Uncharged it’ll still do fine against hordes and human sized elites
Wot. You absolutely can still kill with the unpowered relic. GL with the PS.
I guess you can kill groaners in like 5 hits?
people out here putting encroaching garden final toll in party finder
