ok
Eh, sometimes, that few seconds is a lifesaver, so it's up to you.
u can usually afford 4 curio perks
It's your opinion, but it has saved runs before.
in a 2/2/2/3 split
I think it's neat
most curio perks don't have to do triple stack
But then again, it's probs better on other classes. But eh, I like CDR and it has always been helpful.
Not on Oggy unless i use taunt, i just forget rush most of the time. XD
can i copy this for the helbore lasgun?
prob not
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
i see
@unreal nova
time to consult gameslantern
textured but weirdly low polygon
is determined a good talent node
depends on ur weapon
helbore
is there something like twbs
no
no, don't get hit by melee if u can
unlike zealot, veteran has to play the game the normal way
i dont know what you mean by that
low base stam regen delay + standard stam regen rate + no stun immunity
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
Cleave targets is an okay dump stat for power sword, yes?
it's the optimal dump for power sword
that is way to much effort to get survivalist
and don't get WS for helbore
they're non compatible
You ACTUALLY need to swap for the buffs, and the hellbore pullout time... LUL.
Is there a lore reason why Darktide shotguns suck
I’ll feel marginally better if that was kept in for immersion
Their shells are loaded with dry, hollow human teeth 
Even if we’re just talking auric normal shotguns are genuinely painful to use with the DB being pigeonholed into weapon specialist
And the gunpowder is derived from compressed servitor farts
tbf... DB is very fucking good lol
Zarona shotgun is a pretty funny meme though
LOL
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
I mean I feel like at this point comparing anything to plasma/bolter/flamer is a lost cause, but shotguns just feel lacking imo
I guess after abusing master keys for any situation for so long using anything remotely situational feels worse in comparison
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
I don’t think I tried the burst one when I built mine
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
Ooooo
I would say it's the Gunlugger ripper of choice though
It needs to be critting to justify using over the other 2
I guess with bleed synergy crits would be more consistent right
it's hard to not feel it's lacking when it does this
That picture is genuinely painful
no
mk6 is cavalcade + blaze away
Ah
blaze away just fits it better
Zealot brain
exec stance is just for wallhack?
because the main dps source is crit itself
no like, why smoke + survivalist
just picked one from gameslantern
Mate mk6 ripper you do either. Double dot tipper build witch is fun or you take blaze away and rending pbb
No, but it's fun
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
Most non-private gameslantern builds are awful trash, you know.
Even the highly rated ones... THose are just Youtuber slop where they beg their fans to upvote.
If you want good oggy builds check ogrynomicon
Can't we just fill the smoke grenades with holy warter to deal damage over to the heretics? 
Only works if you get the Emperor to shower, I guess.
Damn
sure
I'm still of the opinion the smoke grenades should have stims to buff teammates
Something like speed or something
XCOM +20 willpower smoke grenades I miss you
This hurts the soul
I just want impact smokes, where they'll function similar to bubble psyker
This just made me unreasonably angry
build? xD
What's this guys
Code
is this just copy paste from relic sword or am I confused by the naming
That seems to be relic sword stuff yeah
it's from the new weapon_traits_bespoke_powersword_p2_buff_templates.lua file
why is it Bespoke
Maybe power sword heat system?
What is this, a new weapon? Still an old weapon
p2
There are also many new related damage profiles
that word shows up in the lua all the time lol
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
Does that usually indicate new marks or weapons?
Every weapons technical name has bespoke in it
If you see a broken blessing name or penance too it might say bespoke in it too
Maybe because we're all bespoke
uh
just so u know
veteran power swords are called powersword_p1_m1 and powersword_p1_m2
so?
here's what p2 means
regardless there are like 10 new lua files/changes related to whatever that is
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
It couldn't be a different mark since it has new blessings and the heat mechanic
I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to call power axe a power sword in code tbh
so it has to be a new one
no, if it was a 3rd power sword, it'd have been called powersword_p1_m3
as in, m3 = 3rd variant
oh right
well who knows
my wild guess is that this is actually the power axe
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
Power saber perhaps?
One has a heat mechanic 
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
did code show which class this is available to
there are damage profiles for "heavy sword" that has been activated
and whatever this is damage_templates.heavy_sword_tank_active_p2
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?
Well would you look at that
there were 2 leaked power axe models
and now 2 marks for this mysterious powersword_p2
powersword_2h_p1_m1/2 (now has a m3)
new relic varient? 
mods?
<@&735928989146939404>
I don't speak German neither
Gone
these prob new blessings
Oh those are the traits yeah
But I was just showing how bespoke is everywhere
Didn't check stuff yet
Probably won't be able to
It's a busy week
new veteran armor is pretty cool
Not commissar, meh unless free.
judge dredd ahh set
The Cadian 110th 'Shadow Corps' is a Cadian Shock Troopers regiment. Elements of the unit turned to Chaos during the Third Aurelian Crusade, slaughtering their loyalist comrades.[1] However, the loyal elements of the regiment still serve the Imperium by M42.[4]
in game it's called stygian
still 110th tho
yea thursday prob
there's a plasma gun skin that looks like default
don't bother lol
Show.
Need reminders on slopshop.
Grey?
best plasma skin is still the kasrkin one
the brown one?
shame it doesn't rly look that good with scion helmet
conflicting colors
no it's grey here lol
Almost like the scion helmet is fcuking garbage or something
big plasma ?
it's the best helmet for veteran lol
old pic
aye
kekw no it isnt
ya it is lol
ugly shade of green
insanely overpriced
slop.
fits with exactly 0 armor sets without mods
piss yellow eyes
It uses the same green they tend to use for cadian stuff
You know what would really go good with a scion helmet
How about some tempestus scion armor
yea that's in the game
unreleased
and unfinished

wat can I say, having the best voice modulator is nice
best voice modulator in the game is the one on this 
pair it with judge zealot and u sound like a monster
this is the same voice modulator

for zealot this is one of the best yea
this voice modulator would go hard with male cutthroat vet
FOR CREED (angry monster noises)
u can already do that with scion helm + male cutthroat
and yes it's very good
ill try the voice sample out with the hidden items mod 
turns male cutthroat from whiny to angry
EXE STANCE PLASMA SWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
How it feels being the only guy who can absolutely melt specials and elites
I also had a mod to play kick-start my heart during Exe Stance
Just untextured brown is their untextured colour
The enforcer stuff was brown
Then it became yellow
Path, how many diff modulators are there atm?
what
wat
huh
double barrel shotgun is so much fun
fatshark hotfixes
We getting ratlings!!1!1!!
Veteran will be replaced with ratling
Ratling confirmed
It will replace the entirety of the veteran class, for it is better
Ratling supremacy
i wonder what variety of accent from united kingdom would ratlings have
Scottish or Irish (yes I know Ireland is not UK but still) would be funny
Also getting true sniper rifles, imagine that…
Exec Stance 🔥
Plasma 🤮
I only run plasma because it looks nice
And sounds nice
Bro got the plasma gunner role and said frag it, double and give to me
dude creates miniature warprift on overcharge
I want to roll as many hazard rolls as I can
I want to be a bigger danger to myself than enemies
High risk, high rewards, RIGHT?
Not usually no hahahaha
When you eventually explode, try to kill some heretics with the big boom ok?
Okay so this + ES and MF has been fun
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
It wouldn't be programming if they weren't
Talked about them too much GW wrote them out of canon
obviously a ratling stole the voicelines
Ratling class
I'm a little sad if its ratlings
Cuz i was counting on skitarri
id have my 5th character that I never play convert to the machine cult and be a skitarri
Back in September
A player got tired of hearing about Ratling and decided to kill them all so he wouldn't hear the line
Welp
He succeeded
Issue Type (Required): Audio Issue Description (Required): Fat Shark has recorded hundreds of voice interactions for our characters. But the one about the ratling snipers and their drinking problems plays over and over and over and over. It never gets marked “This player has heard it so many times they can’t stand it.” I want to kill a...
💀
wow, the ratling exterminatus had lore? crazy
Maybe his rations got stolen by a ratling
not everyone is fond to the homo sapiens minimus
i just did the darktide equivalent of vietnam's fragging. a player was holding us down the entire match due to constant misplays and at the end of the mission, i, though accidentally, blew up a burster which was right on them while they were on 1 wound
Should’ve done it intentionally, and earlier in the mission
If mfer wants to play pvp, he’ll get pvp 
i don't grief, hence the actual accident
but if i were to get blamed for doing it on purpose, no one would be the wiser as to my intentions
genuinely what the hel is this blessing
"you hit the enemy harder? cool. now you shoot one less shot before having to vent."
LMFAO
well that's not really surprising considering that happened at least once before
with foreshortened lifespans
Iirc it generates 60% heat as opposed to 100% heat on shot
Never used before I just recall people discussing it a while back
In level 30 I've noticed I've heard the rattling lines probably more than any other by now
the line constantly played and the player couldnt get any other class dialogue
The ratling meatriding era is over
ratlings are effectively done for
which was already the case on launch but people dont listen
The darktidians will now yap more
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
marksman focus keystone would give the most finesse (weakspot+crit damage)
I have to use Weapon Specialist Keystone sadly
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
wanted to be able to alternate between ranged and melee if possible to kind of juggle the procs of each
Take the Helbore lasgun, put the Surgical blessing on it, take the node that gives +30% weak spot damage in the talent tree, the talent that makes crit hits not use ammo, and Agile Engagement(the bayonet thrust procs that talent)
helbore with weapon specialist is so bad
is there any way to implement kraks in there rather than frags??
trying to double dip the penances in one there
yeah just grab kraks and tinkerer I guess instead of frag and survivalist
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
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 😭
Beauty. Helbore WS. Pick one.
That's the point. You already have a knife so you get more freedom to pick your actual melee weapon.
@tall torrent
I got the thing
I got the 500 rescue penance.
Also I love the choir background going on in the Mourning Star lol

jesper kyd with the hot shyd
it really is the best song for getting a participation trophy
do ya guys prefer bolter or plasma on Vet?
Dbarrel
bistol
How spin grenade pin
If it has to be one or the other, bolter for style points
but if i had to pick between the two it'd be plasgun simply because boltgun's swap is so atrociously slow
I FUCKING knew I wasn't going insane, you DO hear it while in the Mourningstar. I log in and while browsing my inventory I'm like...am I hearing Path of Trust? 🤔 For a moment I thought I was losing my shit because I never recalled that playing xD
question: does the veteran have a "Boss killer" build? ogryn and zealot seems to be the most suited for that but can the psyker and veteran cover that role at all?
Uhm, I too would like to know that answer because so far I either run Bolter with Brittleness or run the bleed/burn build with lasgun and 40% arp and melt them with dots xD
Yeah bolter, Krak, IAG, SAP, agrivolver, even shotgun
There’s quite a few options if you want to focus on boss killing
what's IAG and SAP?
Auto gun and shredder pistol
wait...really?
vigilant melts bosses?
and the shredder autogun?
O.o
Mk IX for vigilant?
… I was taking about infantry auto gun

You mean recon, right?
Ehh
so its more of specific weapons than a build itself?
If you want meme boss damage you build for it
Otherwise it’s just ok
lowk
but what if i dont want to meme? there is no for it?
Then it’s just bolter
Yeah you could, it’s just much harder to do compared to mag dumping brainlessly a bolter or SAP
I ran that with an unyielding Recon.
no maybe not 1 mag
Was funni.
Agri is more effective at it shockingly
mainly cause it flew under the radar
Said build also one shots muties with dueling sword on agile uncanny.
been so long since they did that change I cant tell if this is post or pre finesse nerf on Vigis for bosses
its from 2023
Late or early?
late
Wait no thats late
Vraks, right? I haven't played it for so long I fogot that shit existed xD
Yah
Just press it? I hold X like any other gun and he just looks at the grenade?
It's a chance of playing the animation
You can like try pressing it repeatedly until you get the animation
Ah thank you
vet anti-boss strat is to run VoC with max cooldowns and try to ledge-shove the boss off 
Use your stealth twice so you can proc 30% close damage
2 Kraks on the boss
Apply Skullcrusher
Woops
You messed the timing
No damage dealt
Failed to put the karking boot in smh
isnt "CLOSE, KILL, AND DO IT AGAIN!" ?
IF YOU CAN BREATHE, YOU CAN KILL
That’s a good one too
"I WANT THIS KARKERS DEAD! JAJA!"
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
Female Loose Cannon VoC lines
She really likes it
is the vet i use it and really enjoy that one
Actually thats pretty in character.
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.
Left and right sway on recon is usually suppression
Are you sure you weren't suppressed?
maybe, ill try in psychanium
yeah it must've been suppression. iron sights are a bit to the left but its not too bad
Don't ADS.
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 does? i mean if it actually does then i might take deadshot again.
it looks like it goes all over the place on hipfir
I mean, beyond like 20m, yeah.
It's not gonna be dance of death style tight at that distance.
yeah, i was just thinking weapon customisation but apparently the patch broke it
How so?
dunno, its like top post in steam discussion
Ok, after looking in the modding discord, Grasman did say they broke it.
They have to wait on code to decompile before we can use it again.
Or something along those lines
Weapon customization isn't the only broken mod either, apparently.
whuh
Power_sword_p2_m1 and m2 got added
It has a heat system.
It's not a power sword rework
It's a new weapon that uses the power sword as a base
Like how the shovel is called
Combat_axe_p3_m1 (m2 and m3)
Soooo
Power axe probably?
3
3 confirmed weapons to be released at some point
powersword_p2_m1
powersword_p2_m2
powersword_2h_p1_m3
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. 
I mean sure they're not the Loner, but they are also not too far off
well, i chose my reason for being a reject as false accusation or insubordination. i can still love the emperor as a reject
As you should
power axe code is named poweraxe_2h_p1_m1 and poweraxe_2h_p1_m2
Rework wouldn’t have been called powersword_p2
p2 specifically means it’s a different weapon series
maybe they figured the easiest way to give the power sword the heat mechanic was to just remake them
plausible
gotta avoid another power sword based negative review storm
This one is going to be because they removed the need to activate attack attack attack activate
Because new things bad

yes
is coded under a diff name from the new code string
whatever powersword_p2_m1/2 are, they're completely new
it's not power axe because the power axe names are called poweraxe_2h_p1_m1/2 from an earlier leak
@tall torrent How many voice modulators does DT have atm?
uh
as in, diff types?
default
light muffled
heavy muffled
raspy augmented
clear augmented
heavy augmented
prob 6?
havoc one is muffled
Oh.
clear augmented is like, enforcer helmet
To be fair, I never really had much to compare with. Just the free penance stuff.
Which all are muffled, last I checked.
Still.
this one is raspy augmented
Oh. Only the free stuff, can't test paid things so.
if i remember one of the first augmetd voices was actually for the uh
psyker chem dog helmet
Psyker navigator helmet
is there a compilation of what was seen?
TLDR “Power Sword”s were added and seeing how FS has straight up classified shovels as an axe variant in the code
It’s clearly a new power weapon
Ah the thing I heard about
I can see why
They pretty much work the same
Feel very similar to use
It’s probably the leaked power axe models we saw back in feb
Good ol Plasma
Pov: you play psyker
is it just me or is the powersword kinda
crap
only does anything when powered
feels dependent on the special attack arather than the special attack being a bonus
hope it gets a rework to be more like the relic sword or something
Everyone is hoping for that.
The thing is a paperweight when you don't have it switched on.
yeeeaaah
CIVI mael online
But it's absurdly strong when it is turned on
Looking forward to tomorrow
Same!
Power sword is fine as is, just triple its damage 
Constant powerfield when?
i would like for power sword to be mini relicblade
Vro just described nearly every power weapon
Thunder hammers do decent damage when unpowered
Crusher too
Relic blades also deal decent damage when unpowered
Hey. That's the majority of the other powered weapons in the game!
standardization is laaaaame
keep the turn it on button
or at least only change one of the marks to do that
Whenever I use an inactive Vet Power Sword to attack it just makes me think of Konrad and Vulkan when he gets his hammer back
Poxer: Your power field is off. You have no hope of harming me.
Me: The field is off, true... But it's also a sword.
Swing, weak spot hit, butter knife damage
chainsword rev makes it better but instead of activating or using heat or peril
it has ammo
fuel
I agree
Honestly ps should have 2 powered swings as a base
Standardization is good when the results are good
; 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
They should make the relic blade also be charged
NO
Zealots don't deserve good things
kill this guy with hammers
C:
Kill this guy with rashuns
clearly what the players want is the return of the locks 🔒
WE WANT RNG STAT ROLLS BACK 🗣️🗣️🗣️
ONLY THE 1% WILL HAVE GOD ROLLS
Getting a god roll plasma only to have a patch change the meta 
This fella trying to monopolize god rolls
No not monopolize
Privatize
bros just want to gooomble....
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
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
Launch darktide was horrid
No stat increasing 2 locks on weapon changes
Ah, those were the days
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
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 
you were always able to sacrifice the mk9 with fatler to get the blessing for the whole infantry lasgun family
there were always families that earned blessings together
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
what mod is breaking darktide this time
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
I've found more success orbiting the boss fight and murdering specials and hordes
smokes for the lts is most consistent
the zarona mark is the one with ADS
Your current mark is the Agripina
You're currently cowboy maxxing
Change to Zarona
are chainswords best for breaking shields?
effective against shields, but not effective for the other things that need to be solved for in havoc
do u know if unpowered attacks with power swords are better for shields?
no
they are not effective
there is a damage cap on the shields per strike and the unpowered strikes are under that threshold
damn, i really like recon + power sword combo but i feel stuck against lietenants
maybe krak is good?
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
hmm, im considering it. the talent tax is a bit harsh
of course the problem is your team needs to understand that
Everyone ready for the veteran reveal..
We get..
4 dollars.
That's all. You can go back outside noe
i almost always play public lobbies
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
i miss old bayonet so much i could pop the shields basically immediately. it was hilarious
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.
that's true in low havoc and AM
high havoc the small gunner and gunner packs can shred teams and bubbles instantly
Yeah, last I used smokes at times they could be rather buggy.
you can still make it work but it's a lot safer most of the time to smoke things
I remember getting 360 no scoped from a sniper whilst I was in my smoke cloud lol
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
is this good idea with combat blade?
As I said that was the last time which was well before the updates to it.
combat blade clear in havoc for vet is nowhere near as good as ps6
havoc wrecks a lot of these statements because hitmass and hp changes
^
and how about rashad?
tyvm didn't even knew that was possible
rashad breakpoints no longer work
I don't really like the ps, and I'm a big shovel fan
falls off hard as a result
vet melee options in high havoc are garbage tbh
if you want to carry that is
i struggle with shovel in havoc 20+ i cant solo a doorway
but it is much better for lieutenants
you can make shovel work but it won't be as effective for clear as ps6
Are you using the standard shovel or the break neck one?
It's the one that snaps at the shovel point right?
that's the standard non snap one
no, this one got the poke
it swings fast and hits hard but in havoc the hordes are too thick
Ah the poke is good but I much prefer the snap one
yeah, i might need to change blessing
Whilst it won't kill like the ps does, it can defo hold back a horde
they manage to push through a door if i dont use nades or get help in some way
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
you can slap maulers around
Surviving > dying
is trauma just inferior to hammerblow? hit must be repeated, smaller bonus and smaller uptime
like no reason to take it unless u already have hammerblow
never seen this enemy before
was for a limited time event that happened recently
And big brain FS decided to put him on a penance
Then removed him
Peak Fatshark trolling right there
fatshark coding good modifiers and unique new enemies for one off events just for them to never be seen again
I judt wanted his backpack lol
but somehow think that bringing back mothrfucking blight spreads is fun
That's peak scion right there
my guess is the event is a test run for the enemy
im sure we'll see him again in the future
green shit 
removes blight spreads
Shadow reintroduce
Announce removal
The people have spoken
And they say they fucking hate blight spreads
Wait you can? On heavies only or with lights too?
Yesnt
Trauma has a hidden bonus
Where enemies stay staggered for longer
You can see that they just stand there
...menacingly!

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)
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
How different is the mk3 with the DS outside of mobility?
That’s a fix…
Indeed
I don't know the numbers but DS has the best mobility in the game
Knife?
Not quite
Knife has the movetec
But it's up there
Oh you mean raw Mobility stat
To make it move faster then ds but DS has better dodges
Yeah but I wonder if the shovel ttk is near it, considering that it seems kinda ok to kill stuff like crushers with no good horde clear
It’s similar TTK but much more dangerous
Thank God they are addressing it tomorrow
Because mobility difference, right?
DS has way better Unyielding dps tho
Fold attacks
You get stuck with folding attacks
Mobility too but folding attacks animation lock you for a bit
The mk3 fold attack seems quite good to fight crushers congas
Mk1 stab into push attack 
Doesn't get that stuck for long...still kinda bad
It’s pretty good, it’s my backup for when DS gets nerfed
It is
But you need to fully commit
Which could lead to death
Kinda why I feel bleed makes the mk1 good, rend makes it kill crushers quite fast and helps it's horde clearing
Mk3 is the single target specialist, it sucks at everything else though
DS is this but better in every metric
Sadly
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
I mainly use shovels for the bonk effect.
Horde clear damage is a bit eh. But the stagger is funny as fuck
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
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
In my opinion they should just lean more info the single target aspect
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
Fair enough. Although with the dueling sword i already use the heavy for horde clear, dacing back and forth like a rapier fencer
Really hope they make the h1 of the Heavy swords to have better numbers vs caparace
Feel is the only thing holding it back
Yeah would be nice
Right now hsword manages like 500-600 dps against crushers on vet
Which is atrocious
Powerfistpowerfist
2 handed axe and I die a happy man
Axes are ugly
The divine wrath of a pissed off navy man with a breacher axe
Why axe when we have shovel?

New shovel variant but you only attack with the broad side
Make current ones do that for added base cleave
Only if it rings like a bell when you headshot enemies with helmets
garand ping with every headshot
also
navy breachers use chainfists
Stun maul with shield like the arbites pls
Or chain glaives/power glaives like the arbites
The heretics on their way to shit themselves when "PUT THE KARKIN BOOT IN" gets closer with an actual fire axe:
How do I post images
talk more
Heavy sword just needs to be paired with an anticarapace ranged or krak tbh
I've not tried it on vet but I can imagine it being a good flexible melee for a weapons specialist
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
It kind of is and kind of isn’t funnily. I think it’s actually better used as a sidearm for shooter builds
Hsword doesn’t see huge benefits from big melee investment
Unlike say Rashad
Chain axe 4 kinda
it isn't bad against hordes in terms of safety, but has that 3 target cap
but it cheats vs ragers etc
Problem is chaxe sucks
honestly the only problem with it is that target cap
I fucking love it on my zealot
it encourages a non-The Build set-up too
How so?
It just does well on a top-left path martyrdom set-up
Chaxe 12 sacks tho
rather than the typical top-right blazing piety stuff
presumably good on IJ too
except IJ smells funny
IJ is good, the issue is that just like all zealot keystones it's just "damage with a ribbon"
Best use of the chaxe
This is so peak honestly
They rage quit after
"that actually wasn't funny, I'm going to leave"
You did it to yourself...
I didn't kill the burster
Did they deserve such backstabbing and bambolizing?
I know they dumb but that was evil 
Idk, was funny though
lol what did they do?
I think Ainz was just inflicting psychological damage on them to fit on the Warhammer universe
Ainz just being evil to make up for helping people with penances
Can fatshark pls buff catchan swords thanks
Will do
You mean a coughing baby vs a hydrogen bomb?

can't stagger multiple ragers at once
Yeah, there surely is a point where if we nerf one and buff the other will meet a point of balance, right?
ds4 mobillity is just off the wall if that was nerfed it would be decently balanced
it struggles with hordes, but deals well with single target is fine for balance its just the insane mobillity and defensive stats make it so good
Single target deletion is too good still imo
there needs to be a weapon that fits that archtype
With rending it laughs at everything
it just has too much benefits right now like 5 dodges and really nice move speed
Like knife does it well, and has great mobility but DS has range
Obviously can’t nerf the range, so damage should go down
And mobility as well
What equivalent buffs should the mk3 shovel undergo?
once ds gets nerfed everyones swapping to knife tbh
mobillity is just king for ranged classes like psyker and vet
even zealot
I don't use shovel but those flipping type shovels need better handling like faster specials
The special of the mk3 is particularly good to use vs mobs of maulers/crushers, since the special doesn't get stuck for long and it can interrupt their swings, but it's horde clear capacity is kinda garbo
its hordeclear should be near rashads tbh one shot bruisers at least on lights
"Its hordeclear should be near the best clearing weapon in the game"
It's just gonna bulli things than kill tbh.
So same as Heavy sword?
Because PSword reason to exist is it's active
Without it is REALLY terrible
then its unpowered damage needs a significant buff
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
it's meant to be used as a gaslighting tool
shovel is another weapon in desperate need of a buff
yea
Truly a Fatshark moment
It generates funny sfx
@tall torrent thoughts on mk6 PA perks for havoc
what is mk6 PA
come on Path, but seriously what its the role its SUPPOSED to fulfill? isnt a jack of all trades kind of thing?
I am very seriously telling u that it's very good at being used as a gaslighting tool
carapace + elite
can swap elite for unyielding but it doesn't rly matter too much
Im VERY aware of that fact, just wondering on a game tool level what role its would be meant to fill if a competent game dev crew is making it
because in the hands of Obesefish its on an odd place
it fullfills the role of bashing someone in the head with a shovel
everyday im shoveling
gaslighting, probably
gosh darnit Path!
because it'd be weird if a shovel could heavy stagger elites
shovel on ogryn is as big as the vet's body
u can probably give the big man a giant rock and itll be a nuke
oh wait
Ok
So, path wants like 5 shovel buffs
Because shovels aren't
Good
But everybody goes
Bonk
Bonk
Bonk
"It's good because bonk"
Are the pins still viable?
the hammer of the emperor guide is still mostly up to date
given vet's barely seen any changes lol
at least 5
That link is broken af on my phone guess YouTube it is
OH I understand where he is comming, its just that i want a straigh answer and he is to traumatized to give it to me XD
the shovel do FEEL that can have potential, but at the same time is like "this thing is killing X where with other weapons would kill 1.6X"
No PC?
try downloading the PDF. youtube is an awful source of information for anything darktide
actually here
no viruses, i promise 
It’s in a bin right now gunna stick to ps5 gaming till next winter but probably won’t be picking it up again for PC just need to dial in on one so I can get my penances complete. (Bought the game 5x now)
Which is crazy because Shovel has really strong blessings combo
Oh, lul. Kinda sucks you can't have proper shared acct between them all.
My thoughts exactly 😦
Thank you!!!
Not true, my YouTube is good because I made it 
Worse is the fact you have a Fatshark account and there is bindings to accounts.
Youtube builds are bad or memes.
Naaah, mine are good because I made them 
i haven't even uploaded any Darktide videos except one pre Relic Blade
kinda why i say we should try to meet the DS and the shovels so the broken state of one and the mediocrity of the other form a bamanced weapon
testing the shovels it's ttk of mk7 isnt really that bad compared to power sword, but it would make more sense if the horde clearing of the weapon wasn't as atrocious
also, wonder how better the weapon would be if it had easier access to bleeding
Just go og or 3 tbh.
7 is worst of both worlds.
Path said that mk3 is garbo
but is because 1 and 7 have real horde clear
tried 3 and GOOD LORD it was pain(t)
MK3 is pure funni meme one shot crushers.
feels like what the DS would be if it was not broken
Og is CC the Shovel.
7 folding kinda bleah.
Too slow if you need to deal with too many.
Also worse at pure CC compared to OG.
You know the special is funni.
Poop scooper Emphrur
But yeah, I rather go all in than use a halfarsed hybird that is much worse at either of the stuff.
(mk3) probably best used on a full on grenade build, so you dont have to deal (much) with the awful horde clear and can bonk elites
I mean, why do you think I consider it best?
_>
<_<
math checks out i guess 
still would def need a buff as Path say...so its not just to gaslight ppl
nah
no "nah" me young lad
this some peak gaslighting
i dont say its good, im saying where would work best
we are still speaking of garbo
