Cheeks might have too much flesh for it to be nailed properly I guess

Really hate the colors tho

#

Would an officer use a rifle?

#

Or does a pistol fit better?

well lads i did it 100% weapon mastery on all 4 classes

Well done. Now do 100% of operative penances on all classes.

Does anyone know of a good recon lasgun build?

Braced auto

And his build was middle

He did amazing considering

#

We love you hawkwood

narrow frost

#

i guess just standard las or you lokkin for recon or hellbore?

narrow frost
#

I use this

#

But this falls into the playstyle of more melee focused

#

I only shoot specials and maybe an elite

thin minnow
narrow frost
#

Ahhh

#

You probably mean keystone

#

No

thin minnow
#

Keystone yeah

narrow frost
#

Vet doesn't really need a keystone

grand perch
#

Upside down

narrow frost
#

The only ones that you might consider is FT for some ranged breakpoints, and weapon spec for melee attack speed or ranged auto reload

#

Keystone are only utility on vet, which in most cases is not needed

narrow frost
#

He needed his cross

dueling blade to deal with big guy

narrow frost
#

I never will recommend DS to anyone

#

Creates bad habits and isnt that useful in this build

lost frigate
#

but knife is great for create space in case u want to keep shooting the horde and decent against 1 target

#

shovel, maul is fine too

narrow frost
#

Shooting horde is not a good idea for recon

#

Not a good idea overall

umbral scaffold
narrow frost
#

Okay if I recommend combat axe?

umbral scaffold
#

Sure yeah

it work for markman focus headshot horde and with shocktroop talent recon really ammo efficiently

at max stacks, that is, if you're not taking the subnode that gives it 8 stacks maximum

just need to adjust a habit not to tagg everything until target is down lol

#

ft doesnt give that much value outside bosses

narrow frost
#

But I do understand

#

I take FT for havoc with it's boss rush type of gameplay

narrow frost
# narrow frost

I recommend the slowest recon, but if you use the fastest infernus can be swapped for death spitter and it'll increase your boss damage and reapers

severe jolt
#

I don't play anything below aurics at this point so boss damage is non-optional. Besides, I'm usually tagging just about anything anyway so might as well take the keystone that gives some extra benefit to it.

narrow frost
#

Boss damage is optional

#

Bosses aren't dangerous its the problems they create around them

#

ws really helps for the non boss moments like getting the guaranteed crits amd the attack speed

Mobility dump on caxe

#

Nevermind

#

I didn't have my glasses on

umbral scaffold
#

So sprint efficiency and stam regen?

narrow frost
#

For curios?

umbral scaffold
#

No, confused by the phrase mobility dump on caxe!

#

I thought it meant take sprint chance or something odd. Lol

narrow frost
#

Oh, my bad

umbral scaffold
#

Nope, it’s more like mine, since I’m not familiar with some terms! Lol

narrow frost
#

This is non-havoc mindset

#

Since havoc changes how the game plays

grand perch
#

unrelated but did you ever notice how if youre trying to clutch the game spawns a chaos spawn in 99.9% of cases? its a scientific fact

narrow frost

I find it's plague ogryn

# narrow frost Have fun

Jesus this is indeed fun. Fuck me i need a zealot build for the combat axe now. Where has it been all my life.

narrow frost
#

Wait till you try tactical axe

#

Oh boy

#

A whole new world will open

#

I was around 1500 hours in when I 1st discovered it

#

And 1500 hours later I am still in love

umbral scaffold
#

I’ve tried a tac axe build! It’s pretty fun, but I like the big ooomph of the combat axe

narrow frost
#

Fair enough

#

More power to you

I just like heavy hitting weapons!

narrow frost
#

I can help with zealot set up

umbral scaffold
#

Indeed. But I do want to try a good tac axe build one day as well.

narrow frost

Gotta shill here and say there is a zealot guide

If you wanted to try caxe on zealot

When I first made my veteran toon, I swapped out the starting gun as soon as I could. When I hit the mid 20s, I picked up an infantry lasgun and equipped it for some reason... I really like how it feels. Am I significantly weakening my team if I use an infantry lasgun instead of a plasma or recon like most guides suggest?

pseudo fiber
#

Significantly? No not really

#

It's hard to pick any weapon in this game that puts your team in a disadvantage
(Outside of high havoc runs)

unreal nova
candid wren
#

I'm a bit a ways away from that. I only just hit 30 😅 I like being a team player and contributing to the best of my abilities to the welfare of the team and achieving objectives, but I'm a big 40k fan and try to live as much as possible by the rule of cool. Lasguns and chainswords are the coolest things in my book.

#

@pseudo fiber @unreal nova thanks for the reassurance! I'll swap it out for whatever the meta is when I start attacking the havoc runs.

unreal nova
#

To be fair, anything really goes before high havocs.

#

High havocs is literally forced meta unless you have so much skill to overwrite that.

#

Is why it's no fun.

#

Mortis is the epitome of stupid builds go whee.

#

Like keystoneless Oggy just to grab everything to do some stupid build.

#

So yeah, don't need to worry much. Just try everything and you'll find your favs and dislikes.

# thin minnow Shoot more!

Well that's another thing about that, the damage modifiers are CRUEL. You do 6 times more damage against voidshields with melee than with ranged, so if you're gonna try shooting through them you're gonna be shooting all day.

#

Whats peoples opinion on the tac axe? I hated it when i first started playing but have been having a whole lot of fun with it recently

#

Only thing ive found it kinda suffers with is large hordes and getting surrounded

grand perch
#

Tac axe has enough mobility that you should be able to avoid getting surrounded with practice. You also have decent horde clear with push attack plus heavy attack Combo

#

On mk7 that is

#

What you can only alleviate with heavy point investment is the weakness against armor and bosses

severe jolt
#

I think this guy might be slightly biased towards the tac axe

fair notch
latent pelican
#

Speaking of mobility tho, i feel fast but theres some guys on there who are speed freaks, iirc my tac axe has 80 mobility but i still fall behind a lot, how do i fix that?

latent pelican
fair notch
#

not every weapon is the best weapon for every build. some just synergize better. i ran threw all the axes for mastery and i found i just played closer to my team. your not the horde chearer your the specialist killer

Come to think of it, there's no need to ever have more than 3 frag grenades at a time, since they apply 6 stacks of bleed and the limit is 16.

#

Is tinkerer not worth having with frags?

#

Or is it just cause it takes 2 points to get

severe jolt
#

Some Havoc sweatlord might correct me on this but no it's really not, and yes, it's because it takes 2 points to get if you're taking frags.

mossy monolith
#

20% chane of throwing a extra nade is something, but i can see the other side that in havoc you don't want luck, you need something rn

#

so where should i put the extra point if im not going with grenadier and twint

i might keep the tinker tho, i love to have a stupidly big nade explosion

latent pelican
severe jolt
#

Since the build already has the grenade replenishment talents, you could save a whole 4 points by skipping grenade tinkerer and the extra grenade talent. You could get reciprocity(+crit chance on dodge, on the right hand side of the tree) and precision strikes instead

normal bay
#

Feels like a lot of points specced into grenades, when you could have something more rounded like this...

mossy monolith
#

thats what im here for, to try out new builds, it gets a bit tireding using plasma gun for a while

#

i want to try grenadier veteran

normal bay
#

You still have most of the capabilities with those grenades. How much are the extra grenade and tinkerer gaining you for the point investment?

mossy monolith
#

gonna give it a try

normal bay
#

Mine isn't some super optimal build where I've analysed breakpoints btw, just an example

mossy monolith
#

still need to find a good curio combo and perk combo

#

O4B works really well with grenades (and in general) Swap speeds fairly redundant though, I agree

You gotta remember to build for the weapon you're using. With pistols things like reload speed and swap speed are a non-issue.

#

How viable is the max grenade and grenade spawn veteran? Since you have several passive that does things with grenades. Like grenade every few minute. Grenades from ammo crate, chance to throw two. Grenade capacity. And i think grenade on elite/specialist kill?

#

And i see there was a discussion more above of me. But it still stands.

latent pelican
#

I think what we came to is the passives can be kind of redundant altogether

tame lodge
#

Specially frags

#

Still lots of gambling though

devout wedge
#

I see. Thanks. I wanna try it out on auric one day. When i am 30 and have better stuff. But i enjoy lobbing krak's into mobs and elites.

calm shard
#

basically worthless with kraks and smokes tho

devout wedge
#

Oh.

calm shard
#

kraks are just worthless in general, and smokes already last 30 seconds with tinkerer so you don't really ever need to spam them

devout wedge
#

Thought Krak's better because of carapace and so elites

calm shard
#

no not really

#

Kraks are vastly outpaced by even mid tier melee weapons in terms of elite/carapace damage

#

They only see value against Bulwarks and very thick elite hordes

#

And even then Shredders do good into those very same elite hordes too

#

Like Kraks one shot crushers and stagger things around them which is distinctly a good thing

#

but the Power Sword 2 shots them, Combat Axe 3 shots them, Dueling Sword can one shot them I think, Knife can 3 shot them, Chain Axe can 2 or 3 shot them can't remember off the top of my head

#

Helbore can 2 shot them consistently, Bolter kills them in 3-5 shots depending on build, plasma is a 3 shot

#

I think Bolt Pistol can also 1 or 2 shot them

#

They do far worse damage than it seems like they do

#

Largely because of their extremely slow fuse

The best thing to do with smoke is to have another vet take frags and survivalist

And your ammo pickups are debuffed so you're not swimming on ammo spawned through the map

Could drop the stam regen and run knife/DS and get an extra point for 10% attack speed

Also, on plasma in havoc, you guys still running Flak + Unarmoured?

cyan ember

I think I run carapace unarmored in havoc. Should still get one shots on flak gunners.

mortal horizon
#

i just dont dump ammo into carapace often unless emergency

#

thats what powersword/ds is for imo

#

ammo economy is rough in havoc

Probably go unyielding then. Mostly for reapers. I would have to check how it affects breakpoints though.

#

i saw you taking, or someone, taking Killzone before - dmg buff on not taking melee hit.
Is it important? Without it could take stamina regen and always prepared

ive never taken it anyway, but dunno if im missing out on important dmg / breakpoints in havoc

calm shard

it's free 15% ranged damage if you're good at the game

#

pretty okay talent

mortal horizon
#

instead of always prepared? bc i feel i need the stam regen node, so i gotta choose between it and always prepared

i often drop always prepared but

Outside of Exec Bolter and Fuck FT Plasma?

Rest is genuine skill on the players part when it comes to outside of those weapons ranged wise

Why I've been pairing Camo + Tunnel together

I need a book baby with Exec stance

#

MMF stacks in Havoc are still pretty shit

Fatshark...

#

I beg of you

#

fucking rework my favorite keystone...

I love the concept of being rewarded hitting heads but holy shit

#

walk 2 feet

#

10 stacks magically vanish

quiet valley
#

Yeah why does DD have better stack decay

faint beacon
#

The Obese Fish likes their favorite child more unfortunately

#

All seriousness yes the Weakspot hit and kill helps not make them decay instantly

#

but its seriously not enough

#

rarely in fucking AURICS

#

do I ever have 10 stacks for more than 5 seconds

#

usually immediately drops down to like 3 or 6 and then goes up or down from there

#

Im honestly one for making it to where if you hit heads you gain stacks if you miss weakspots you lose but they'll most likely not do that

quiet valley
#

They even have DD refresh on Captain/Monster hits

#

actually insane

faint beacon
#

Holy shit you reminded me about that

#

I'll give them this

#

yes thats moderately rare to tag a Monster/Captain as a DD target

#

but like

#

you strike not even gold like, you strike fucking pure diamond

#

if you get that

quiet valley
#

doesnt even have to be tagged

#

cant be tagged by DD iirc

You're telling me

quiet valley
#

ask pskyer chat

faint beacon
#

they just have to HIT A BOSS

#

and they get stacks

#

if thats so Im beyond fucking jealous

#

Honestly in a perfect world I'd prefer MMF to reward just weakspot in general on Melee and Ranged but the melee bonus be a subnode you have to invest into

#

but I think they'll keep it as a ranged only Keystone

marman focus work well with rapid shooting gun seems funny tome

rapid shooting guns that have at least decent finesse, yeah

lost frigate

for me it work best on laspistol and recon las

ive always argued recon doesnt profit from it enough

cause its like 1.3 finesse modifier which is shit. so you get 75% of a 30% bonus in perfect conditions. wowsies

it really turn autogun into crusher melter

Vet has just as consistent infinite cleave as zealot

#

It just requires more effort

sharp epoch
#

frags are their source of infinite cleave, but 2 frags doesn't do as much damage as just a mag of flamer

austere mica
#

I was talking about Manstopper I entirely forgot about frags

sharp epoch
#

Ehh shotties I would not consider consistent, they have really bad ammo eco and manstopper alone is pretty bad with the damage dropoff on shotguns

austere mica
#

Double barrel is economical

#

(Outside of havoc)

sharp epoch
#

Inside havoc DB is okay, but it mainly functions as a way to proc WS and agile engagement for melee

austere mica
#

It’s good for 20 kill scatters every 3 melee kills

#

Almost like voidstrike except zero carapace damage and not spammable

sharp epoch
#

It just has like clear weaknesses, you can't kill ranged specialist/elites that well, and yeah armor

#

You kinda need your team to pick up the slack for the ranged threats

austere mica
#

Oh you can absolutely kill specialists with dbarrel

sharp epoch
#

you can but its a pain

austere mica
#

This is why knife

#

If it doesn’t die you just jump it

sharp epoch
#

I usually run PS and use smokes to force them into melee

austere mica
#

And if shootouts are an issue you’re running smokes anyway

austere mica
#

Defeats the point in my opinion

sharp epoch
#

I think it covers the weaknesses like armor

#

and yeah I use it to just proc WS and agile engagement mostly

austere mica
#

But it also overshadows its strengths

#

And is a poor pick for swapping

sharp epoch
#

It's just armor/bosses are spammed so much knife doesn't kill them all to well

faint beacon
#

As overpowered PS is, it does teach you a good habit of managing pushing and dodges way better vs like Rashad/Knife where you can kinda just spam Dodge and live 90% of encounters

Does Inf Autogun benefit from Marksman Focus?

Yes

Hmmm gonna try and build around it

What does finesse even do

Ah

calm shard
#

Agri has better range and damage

#

Columnus is awkward middle child that excels at nothing

#

and has the shortcomings of both

junior grail
#

Pffft poor Columnus

calm shard
#

Vraks has I think the highest DPS of any gun in the game outside of like the Bolter

#

Or damn close to the highest

#

And with high enough finesse it kills literally every health type, does excellent boss damage

junior grail
#

I'm a little tired of Vraks ngl haha

calm shard
#

Genuinely a laserbeam that you point at anything and it dies

#

Yeah Agri is good too

#

I prefer it over Vraks for its longer range and less excessive recoil

junior grail
#

Okie dokes thanks will give it a go

Does Agri still have the punch through (I.e. a bullet hits multiple targets?)

I found it really helpful for brute forcing bullets through a horde

new vet costume from the commodore shop doesn't look very vet to me

More H40 Executioner Stance + Bolter w/ MkIII Power sword. 2nd highest dmg and boss dmg, only 100k dmg below psyker with inferno staff says a lot

umbral scaffold
#

So if you run a helbore build and take the ammo talent, would the dump stat be ammo or am I missing something?

pseudo fiber
#

Stability

balmy flume
#

Ammo talent is a chance to spend no ammo (it still does drain when you do not Crit)
So ammo is still a stat worthy to max out.

Was exploring options for builds in the future, so I've not run it yet personally. Will dig around to see what I can find in the shop.

Much appreciated on the input.

# umbral scaffold Was exploring options for builds in the future, so I've not run it yet personall...

here's a helbore build that I run in Havoc 40 if you want to look through, for consideration's sake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t641hO9Z-DQ&pp=0gcJCYUJAYcqIYzv

I bloody love the helbore, probably my favorite vet's gun, especially the bayonet.

Devil's claw sword works EXTREMELY well with Helbore, cuz it gives vet a lot of extra defensive capabilities, and you can even tank bosses with it! If you want more melee dmg the bayonet also does it extremely well too!

it serves very well

tame lodge

So yeah punch through most stuff

#

Can even go higher with Deathspitter

bold sierra
#

sadly it's kinda gimped in H40 😦

#

i tested deathspitter on it, dont think it helps with the cleaving multiple chaffs in H40 tho

tame lodge
#

It doesn't

#

With 5 stacks you get ~2.7 cleave

#

Groaners and Poxwalkers have 4 or more mass

bold sierra
#

yeah, sadly

#

I do hope they'll eventually buff colum and agri iag up a bit, at least more dmg

tame lodge

I think bruisers don't have their mass changed, unless I missed some info, so you'd be able to shoot through Dreg Bruiser (2.5 mass)

Man sititng on the character creator for right now just expirimenting with the character backstory, and it irks me that you can originate from a schhola progenia, but also end up as a hive ganger. Like there ain’t no dropouts, you’re ass is cooked if you so much as stutter.

#

Like the only route that makes sense would be Progenia > Comfort through Discipline > Storm/Decorated/Elite Formation

bold trench

^ iirc none of that background stuff even matters for voicelines?

# bold trench ^ iirc none of that background stuff even matters for voicelines?

Nah, just wanted to see the end result paragraphs at the end.

But like, the Progenia one is always what annoys me. Because there’s no way you’d get taken into it and then just turn into a hive ganger or go into debt.

From a thematic view everything pans out to your character getting recruited into the guard. Which is nice. But depending on the first two choices, it completely throws away any sense of connection. Like your character somehow lived two completely seperate lives instead of a singular coherent timeline.

Alright

What’s the best option for this last point?

why do you not already have precision strikes

drop the extra grenade since kraks are worthless, grab precision strikes, the extra ammo, and superiority complex with the free points

#

the only realy why I dont run headhunter autoguns as much is because FS gave the stock bashing special attack on the guns that have flimsy af wireframe stocks

at least the brown one doesnt but MAN

You'd think it would be on the infantry autos

Also reciprocity instead of close quarters killer might have more mileage

And take 25 toughness instead of exploit weakness might have more mileage

#

But if you want to use exploit weakness, reciprocity will make exploit weakness proc better

#

But combat knife kinda makes the 20% brittleness from exploit weakness a bit redundant as the knife has good armor pen and does plenty of damage that would probably kill anything before you stack up that brittleness to be used

#

Also uncanny strike as a blessing will be all the rending you’ll need, so that brittleness won’t be that effective for killing armored

#

Rending and brittleness once over 100% isn’t that wild for extra damage

as it’ll be 1/4 as effective once over 100%

Shred + Rampage/Savage Sweep yeah

Or was it Rampage + Shred/Savage Sweep

calm shard

it was the former

shred is mandatory dps blessing for the devils claw

rampage/savage sweep are pick your flavor of horde clear blessing

+36% strength? or a billion cleave

huh why is shred good

i guess free crit chance but its conditional (if i miss i lose it, and im not a god)

makes me think rampage / savage sweep is better together for the ultimate hordeclear since it feeds into itself.

it's kinda hard to miss when you're swimming in poxwalkers

I think I’d rather just use a helbore tbh

Hellbore needs to be charged

Why? Nobody knows

hollow ibex
#

It doesn’t need to be charged in the lore?

calm shard
#

"limiting the rate of fire"

#

making it charged is a good enough compromise on that

tall torrent
#

No charge
Just big ammo cost + big damage
And slow down fire rate

#

Except helbore is neither big ammo cost nor big damage

calm shard
#

I mean Mk IV is both of those thing

#

if you don't crit with shocktrooper

#

it do sizable damage

#

and it costs what 12 ammo per shot?

tame lodge
#

9 iirc

hollow ibex
#

How big is helbore supposed to be?

#

In terms of damage

#

Because ngl it mostly just feels like a lasgun that isn’t total ass against carapace

#

You need to really build it to do big damage

#

And then the faster marks just straight up feel like charge lasguns

faint wedge

It’s a knife you can shoot people with

calm shard

I don't own the only war books and can't be assed to pirate one just to see how much more than a regular lasgun they do

because the only war books are the...only source for helbore information

Oh rip

The revolver is better for taking out big game lol

But with recon you want to build around getting as much crit rate as possible from the tree
