it's ~6 months outdated but mostly relevant

nimble bridge
#

ok

tall torrent
#

as for example builds

#

depends on mode

#

and weapon

unreal nova
#

Eh, sometimes, that few seconds is a lifesaver, so it's up to you.

tall torrent
#

u can usually afford 4 curio perks

unreal nova
#

It's your opinion, but it has saved runs before.

tall torrent
#

in a 2/2/2/3 split

#

I think it's neat

#

most curio perks don't have to do triple stack

nimble bridge
#

what is columnus?

#

oh its the mk5 autogun

unreal nova
#

Not on Oggy unless i use taunt, i just forget rush most of the time. XD

nimble bridge
#

can i copy this for the helbore lasgun?

tall torrent
#

like, this is already not up to date lol

#

vet build depends on what weapons u want to run

#

as in, both melee and ranged

nimble bridge
#

i see

@unreal nova

time to consult gameslantern

tall torrent
#

unreal nova
#

Hilariously low poly.

#

I wonder if it's some bad AI upscaling at work.

nimble bridge

is determined a good talent node

nimble bridge

helbore

tall torrent
#

u don't need it

#

usually

nimble bridge
#

is there something like twbs

hollow ibex
#

no

tall torrent
#

unlike zealot, veteran has to play the game the normal way

nimble bridge
#

i dont know what you mean by that

tall torrent
#

low base stam regen delay + standard stam regen rate + no stun immunity

nimble bridge
#

well thats not normal

#

is this fine for the helbore?

hollow ibex
#

def not lol

#

WS is prob the worst possible keystone for helbore

#

can try something like this

#

you can drop extra grenades for shock trooper if you want

blazing jetty
#

Cleave targets is an okay dump stat for power sword, yes?

tall torrent
tall torrent
#

and don't get WS for helbore

#

they're non compatible

unreal nova
#

You ACTUALLY need to swap for the buffs, and the hellbore pullout time... LUL.

wanton coral
#

Is there a lore reason why Darktide shotguns suck

#

I’ll feel marginally better if that was kept in for immersion

blazing jetty
#

Their shells are loaded with dry, hollow human teeth KEKW_ogryn

wanton coral
#

Even if we’re just talking auric normal shotguns are genuinely painful to use with the DB being pigeonholed into weapon specialist

blazing jetty
#

And the gunpowder is derived from compressed servitor farts

hollow ibex
wanton coral
#

LOL

calm shard
#

genuinely almost Bolter tier boss damage

#

crazy gun

#

if you ignore its performance against literally every other health type

#

And if it decides to not crit

wanton coral
#

I mean I feel like at this point comparing anything to plasma/bolter/flamer is a lost cause, but shotguns just feel lacking imo

calm shard
#

Yeah they need damage buffs

#

They haven't been touched in a loooooooooong time

wanton coral
#

I guess after abusing master keys for any situation for so long using anything remotely situational feels worse in comparison

calm shard
#

Zarona out of all the shotguns is probably the closest to being alright

#

I'd consider it the best of them just because it's a consistent 2 shot on more or less every enemy in the game

#

(except for Crushers)

#

But like...it doesn't have the ammo to afford to be 2 shotting things

#

And its special is kinda bad

wanton coral
#

Add inefficient to the list of complaints lol

#

Reminds me of the rippergun

wanton coral
#

I don’t think I tried the burst one when I built mine

calm shard
#

Yeah Mk6's gimmick is it's the crit gun

#

It has better crit/weakspot modifiers than the other 2, and gets a 3 shot crit chain since it's always burst fire

#

It's my 2nd most used gunlugger weapon with Flechette/Cavalcade

#

Thing crits like a truck, and it's 3 crits which max stacks Flechette's bleed

#

So anything it touches is going to die

wanton coral
#

Ooooo

calm shard
#

I would say it's the Gunlugger ripper of choice though

#

It needs to be critting to justify using over the other 2

wanton coral
#

I guess with bleed synergy crits would be more consistent right

tall torrent
wanton coral
#

That picture is genuinely painful

tall torrent
#

mk6 is cavalcade + blaze away

wanton coral
#

Ah

tall torrent
#

blaze away just fits it better

wanton coral
#

Zealot brain

nimble bridge
tall torrent
#

because the main dps source is crit itself

tall torrent
nimble bridge
#

just picked one from gameslantern

dry cloak
#

Mate mk6 ripper you do either. Double dot tipper build witch is fun or you take blaze away and rending pbb

calm shard
#

I like my double dot Mk6 ripper because it means minimum pellet count kills things

#

And I can really work that flat spread it has

unreal nova
#

Even the highly rated ones... THose are just Youtuber slop where they beg their fans to upvote.

#

What's this guys

stoic thorn
#

Code

shrewd matrix
#

is this just copy paste from relic sword or am I confused by the naming

pseudo fiber
#

That seems to be relic sword stuff yeah

shrewd matrix
#

it's from the new weapon_traits_bespoke_powersword_p2_buff_templates.lua file

elder vessel
#

why is it Bespoke

pseudo fiber
shrewd matrix
#

most likely

pseudo fiber
#

If that is what I think it is

#

Nice

sleek verge
woeful junco
#

p2

shrewd matrix
#

There are also many new related damage profiles

woeful junco
#

i think whenever they have a function specific to a single thing, like a blessing or a weapon attack or whatever.

#

it reminds me of tailoring

pseudo fiber
shrewd matrix
#

most likely imminent

#

but not always

slow sky
#

If you see a broken blessing name or penance too it might say bespoke in it too

tame lodge
pseudo fiber
#

Maybe because we're all bespoke

tame lodge
#

Oh shit
Silo Cluster will be on the havoc pool

tall torrent
#

just so u know

#

veteran power swords are called powersword_p1_m1 and powersword_p1_m2

shrewd matrix
#

so?

tall torrent
#

here's what p2 means

shrewd matrix
#

regardless there are like 10 new lua files/changes related to whatever that is

tall torrent
#

combat axe is called combataxe_p1_m1/2/3
tactical axe is called combataxe_p2_m1/2/3
sapper shovel is called combataxe_p3_m1/2/3

#

powersword_p2 means it's a different separate "power sword" from existing ones

#

if that's not a relic blade

#

then it's a power sword but not one of the existing power sword family

#

and, knowing fatshark

shrewd matrix
#

It couldn't be a different mark since it has new blessings and the heat mechanic

tall torrent
#

I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to call power axe a power sword in code tbh

shrewd matrix
#

so it has to be a new one

tall torrent
#

no, if it was a 3rd power sword, it'd have been called powersword_p1_m3

#

as in, m3 = 3rd variant

shrewd matrix
#

oh right

tall torrent
#

p1 = part 1

#

not p2_m1

shrewd matrix
#

well who knows

tall torrent
#

there's no reason for them to introduce a power sword that isn't one of the existing power swords

#

and it's called p2_m1

pseudo fiber
#

Power saber perhaps?

tall torrent
#

so it's first in its series

#

wats the difference lol

pseudo fiber
#

One has a heat mechanic KEKW_ogryn

tall torrent
#

slightly bigger power sword

#

oh wow new weapon

#

whatever it is, it's a new weapon

#

it having p2_m1 in its name already says it

#

part 2, mark 1

tall torrent
shrewd matrix
#

there are damage profiles for "heavy sword" that has been activated

#

and whatever this is damage_templates.heavy_sword_tank_active_p2

tall torrent
#

heavy sword_p2 would also be a new weapon

#

current 3 are p1_m1/2/3

#

2h power sword for veteran??

#

separate from relic blade?

tall torrent
#

there's no m? mark to it

shrewd matrix
tall torrent
#

ykw this might actually be the power axe

pseudo fiber
#

Well would you look at that

tall torrent
#

there were 2 leaked power axe models

#

and now 2 marks for this mysterious powersword_p2

The new power sword damage profiles are just poorly named, e.g. "heavy_sword_p2" is the damage profile for the heavy attack and "light_sword_p2" is the light attack, hence my confusion

I need a more well versed Vet to assist with a build that can get as much Crit Rate and Weak Spot damage as humanly possible along with Kraks preferably for a Weapon Specialist Build...

#

this is mainly to go for the penances as quickly as possible

crit rate you could go the ranged path of deadshot or the melee path of like desperado and the dodging one

whats the penance btw?

250 Specialist/Elite kills with Critical Weak Spot hits while Weapon Specialist is active (Either Melee or Ranged)

#

Penance: Adept Assassin

#

oh id just go the melee path ill make a build rq

dull lodge

wanted to be able to alternate between ranged and melee if possible to kind of juggle the procs of each

#

helbore with weapon specialist is so bad

dull lodge
#

is there any way to implement kraks in there rather than frags??

#

trying to double dip the penances in one there

sharp epoch
#

yeah just grab kraks and tinkerer I guess instead of frag and survivalist

sharp epoch
#

I'd suggest a melee that is good at weakspots and hordeclear like rashad or ps and a precision ranged weapon like revolver or plasma or bolt pistol even

severe jolt
#

Don't you think that's the beauty of the Helbore WS build? That you can pick your melee weapon freely since the one on your ranged weapon already does most of the work.

But it's like dueling sword but worse 😭

Ironically enough, my favorite VoC line from the Loose Cannon is their most out-of-character one: For Terra!

i dunno if this is something that happened with the update now but when i full auto recon lasgun sometimes the sight moves over the hitmarker. is there a way to keep sights aligned with point of aim?

sometimes it is left or right of the sight as well

void dragon
serene bough
uncut pebble
#

Cutthroat and Professional are both very dogmatic, as far as I understand. Loose Cannon seems more people-oriented, so "For Terra" is more in character than "For the Emperor."

#

You can kinda also argue this with his cheer line where he says "For the Emperor," he's quite unenthusiastic about saying it.

Recon has a pretty tight hipfire spread to begin with.

Otherwise, assuming your on pc, weapon customization is a thing. You can put an actual optic on your gun with that mod.

It's not a power sword rework

Fatshark when it comes to the number 3

sonic kayak
# uncut pebble You can kinda also argue this with his cheer line where he says "For the Emperor...

Which is why I say it's out of character for them. They don't fight for the Imperium, or glory, or honor, or any similar "justifiable" motivation(Compared to Cutthroat or Professional at the least); They fight solely for themselves. They don't have that air of religious dogma that is synonymous with being a citizen/fighter of the Imperium. There's even that line of asking about if they went renegade that anyone would join them. So shouting a battlecry like that, which carries a core religious undertone, is out of character to me. pepeShrug

I mean sure they're not the Loner, but they are also not too far off

p2 specifically means it’s a different weapon series

# elder vessel standardization is laaaaame

Standardization is good when the results are good CAUGHT ; as it stands, Vet's power swords are just plain piddly in comparison to the damage output of the relic blade. The need to constantly repower the blade in order to do any damage just makes it a chore to use, whereas the relic blade's overheat and cooldown not only feels more immersive, but also is just more balanced

It's like preferring a pull-start lawnmower to a lawnmower that just needs the handles squeezed

Honestly? I don't mind having to activate the PSword each time, it gives it its own identity. The problem is every time FS says they change the behavior of the sword where you don't have to re-activate it each time, it doesn't work

#

What is it

sonic kayak
#

So the old system before Unlocked and Loaded was you got a weapon with a set amount of stats.. and that's it

#

No Empowerment or Mastery

#

You also had 2 maximum changes you could make between blessings and perks

#

After those 2 changes, your weapon was locked, which was represented by literally having locks on the rest of your unchanged attributes

sly orchid
#

No stat increasing 2 locks on weapon changes

heavy rover
#

Ah, those were the days

sonic kayak
#

Weapons were also not weapon families but individual weapons with their own individual blessing pools, I.E. You wanna use Falter on the Lasgun Mk 7 but have it on the Mk 9, so you have to find another Lasgun Mk 7 with Falter, sacrifice it to earn the blessing, so then you can use 1 of your 2 changes to put it on

slow spade
#

Launch Darktide Powersword had genuinely infinite cleave and 3 charged attacks per activation

But melee had guaranteed 10% bleedthrough

So you know everyone was suffering Sitgryn

Been a while i played, question about the veteran revolver, is there no version of it where the right click aim ? And not that hip fire or whatever

wicked epoch
#

what mod is breaking darktide this time

cunning haven
#

i've switched from shovel to power sword and i feel far more effective in havoc. it clears hordes nicely and i can help support my teammates better. more difficult to clutch, but i dont need to clutch as often so i think its a plus. big problem i have is i cant figure out how to deal with the lieutenants and almost every havoc loss is to them.

#

is it better to use uncharged attacks against shield and then shoot them with infernus?

#

power sword feels too slow for bosses

warm schooner
#

I've found more success orbiting the boss fight and murdering specials and hordes

#

smokes for the lts is most consistent

hollow ibex
tame lodge
#

Change to Zarona

cunning haven
#

are chainswords best for breaking shields?

warm schooner
#

effective against shields, but not effective for the other things that need to be solved for in havoc

cunning haven
#

do u know if unpowered attacks with power swords are better for shields?

warm schooner
#

no

#

they are not effective

#

there is a damage cap on the shields per strike and the unpowered strikes are under that threshold

cunning haven
#

damn, i really like recon + power sword combo but i feel stuck against lietenants

#

maybe krak is good?

warm schooner
#

kraks dont stick to shield or the captain/lt bosses

#

use smokes

#

smokes break the ranged twin ai which is honestly in some ways more dangerous than the sword one

#

because oftentimes you're forced to fight the twins in tight spaces

#

so if you hold the twins in the smoke, the ranged twin just stands in place

cunning haven
#

hmm, im considering it. the talent tax is a bit harsh

warm schooner
#

of course the problem is your team needs to understand that

pulsar radish
#

Everyone ready for the veteran reveal..

#

We get..

#

4 dollars.

#

That's all. You can go back outside noe

cunning haven
warm schooner
#

yeah that's the problem I've noticed

#

I get shit constantly about using smoke

#

a lot of the h40 crowd now gets it, but the newer people trying give me shit

cunning haven
#

i miss old bayonet so much i could pop the shields basically immediately. it was hilarious

pulsar radish
#

Smokes are great, but the problem is they fall into the trap of " krak/shredder would kill it" so smoke falls into some niche uses at times.

warm schooner
#

that's true in low havoc and AM

#

high havoc the small gunner and gunner packs can shred teams and bubbles instantly

pulsar radish
#

Yeah, last I used smokes at times they could be rather buggy.

warm schooner
#

you can still make it work but it's a lot safer most of the time to smoke things

pulsar radish
#

I remember getting 360 no scoped from a sniper whilst I was in my smoke cloud lol

warm schooner
#

its not buggy, it depends on when they target locked you

#

if they had you locked before the smoke is in place, you need to dodge/move

cunning haven
#

is this good idea with combat blade?

pulsar radish
#

As I said that was the last time which was well before the updates to it.

warm schooner
#

havoc wrecks a lot of these statements because hitmass and hp changes

warm schooner

falls off hard as a result

#

vet melee options in high havoc are garbage tbh

#

if you want to carry that is

cunning haven
#

but it is much better for lieutenants

warm schooner
#

you can make shovel work but it won't be as effective for clear as ps6

pulsar radish
#

Are you using the standard shovel or the break neck one?

cunning haven
#

the standar

#

hordes get too thick for me to sweep

pulsar radish
#

It's the one that snaps at the shovel point right?

warm schooner
#

that's the standard non snap one

cunning haven
#

no, this one got the poke

warm schooner
#

that one is fine

#

try switching out uncanny for take a swing

cunning haven
#

it swings fast and hits hard but in havoc the hordes are too thick

pulsar radish
#

Ah the poke is good but I much prefer the snap one

cunning haven
#

yeah, i might need to change blessing

pulsar radish
#

Whilst it won't kill like the ps does, it can defo hold back a horde

cunning haven
#

they manage to push through a door if i dont use nades or get help in some way

pulsar radish
#

Maybe I've just used it too much and got comfortable with it and the recon or helbore lol

#

I use the snap neck one and do light heavy push combos it works alright

maybe i go full impact for the ultimate funny. why these 2 blessings simulataneously i dont understand

I have tried the mk1 shovel and I think the thing that makes it work kinda well is using bleed, the issue naturally is that bleed on veteran is usually a tax because it doesn't path into survivalist, you folks think that's something holding some weapons? (Still think shovels could use some more cleave tho)

narrow frost
#

Give shovel DS damage profile with DS mobility. Fixed

#

I've had people tell me that's what would fix the bad weapons

Make them dueling swords

But you need to fully commit

Which could lead to death

void dragon
tame lodge
#

Mk3 is the single target specialist, it sucks at everything else though

quiet valley
#

Sadly

tame lodge
#

While mk7 is very similar to the non foldable but with a better single target option

#

Just not as safe because non fold special is just one of the best interruptions in the game

#

It even ignores the stagger immunity of Bulwarks and Crushers after they get staggered

plain osprey
#

I mainly use shovels for the bonk effect.

Horde clear damage is a bit eh. But the stagger is funny as fuck

plain osprey
# quiet valley DS is this but better in every metric

The emperors holy toothpick is just a cheatcode at this point. It bullies most enemies into submission l, especially the heavy hitters. Ive never seen people call for more for a nerf of this particular weapon than any other

void dragon
#

The thing is that natural access to rending feels would go places with bleeding, if only it had good auras to justify not taking survivalist

tame lodge
#

Cut the 4.5 cleave on lights to 1.5

#

Or no cleave at all

#

And that's it

#

Doesn't solve all problems

#

But at least is something

plain osprey
#

Fair enough. Although with the dueling sword i already use the heavy for horde clear, dacing back and forth like a rapier fencer

wonder what point between mk3 shovel and DS mk4 is the "fair and balanced" point of weapons that are meant to be single target monsters, horde crybabies

hollow ibex
#

Hsword doesn’t see huge benefits from big melee investment

#

Unlike say Rashad

agile forge
#

it isn't bad against hordes in terms of safety, but has that 3 target cap

but it cheats vs ragers etc

Its a defensive weapon on paper right?

honest pine
#

One way to do it would be to make it so that instead of the activation increasing its damage it just gives it 100% rending or something

#

And ignores all hitmass

#

So you get one really strong swing that takes a chunk out of carapace enemies

#

but you can still slash normally through regular enemies
