have u considered learning them?
Knife is still heavy heavy heavy heavy for single targets and light for hordes
Maybe slap a light special light special if the Target is standing still
knife is not heavy heavy heavy for single target lol
Ok you gotta understand I zoom around with mk3 1 shotting everything
It can
I don't use the cuck mk6
knife single target is push atk + push atk + push atk + push atk + push atk + ...
Das silly
Yeah but I wanna be able to Sprint from Target to Target wraaa
PA is good when the shit doesn't die quickly
Chat he doesn’t know
i do not have the sense of timing required to execute combos in videogames - soulslikes, fighting games, rhythm games, i do not have the ability to anticipate moments and press buttons on cue with tight timing
I'm aware 6 is better >:(
What the shrimp
But nothing will strip me from the dopamine of zooming in with only overheads
Dey zoom da same
I'm genuinely curious how u play cuz most DT melee weapons' combo timings are incredibly generous

Just use psyker Flamer ofc

light spam with XIIIg Chainsword feels the best so far
Yeah I was literally about to say just play purg psyker
Ur so silly…
The chainsword isn’t bad tho
Wish it had a better moveset
tell that to half this server who think the chainsword is useless trash
It’s not trash but not great
It's not bad but I feel it's something I wouldn't use on vet
gaslighting tier weapon
it's not the best weapon no, but it does function very well as a trash sweeper to pair with a railgun like the PG or Zarona
not dclaw
Devils claw
Ok maybe not dcalw
Depends on how you use it
Yummers dclaw parry against ragers
Dc mk4 is pretty awesome against mixed hordes
Do you all think Arbites will have access to human melees?
It MOST CERTAINLY is
All you gotta do is press a button
Do you know how shit a weapon has to be to still be doing bad damage on Gun Psyker?
the shared ones yes
Because let me tell you the Chainsword is the only weapon in the game that still does fuck all damage on Gun Psyker
It is a miserable piece of garbage
Fuuuck I don't wanna see everyone grinding with DS instantly
Have yuo tried melee soyker?


from what I understood it's a close range class
with stagger orientated melee
Tomfoolery in vet chat
It does look like it yeah
Close range defense
With the shield+gun and shield+melee
Wonder how the shield will work
like ogryn shield but without ogryn stamina :)
arbites is probably footknight-esque class
It's probably gonna be like Ogryns but without the stance
Welcome back mace and shield
Force dagger or fail when
TRUE
We need all Sienna stuff on Psyker now
i'm sorry that you're having this problem mate
hopefully you can fix it soon
psyker deserves no new weapons until they get the 80 nerfs they need
To be fair every class needs nerfing lol
some just more than others
Another buff to psyker
Yeah this is true
wandered into damnation meat grinder and honestly the chainsword breakpoints are still pretty good
it's not a breakpoint weapon
Put the plasma gun on psyker
i can still onetap poxwalkers, activated onetap ragers and muties
chainsword special action basically doesn't exist
hopefully with enough practice you'll get the hang of it
yeah good luck doing that with other enemies around
why would i be doing that with other enemies around
you may have also noticed while doing that that the special is slow as fuck?
jee maybe because Darktide is a horde shooter?
And has this strange tendency to throw large numbers of enemies at you?
if there's many ragers or what have you, then that's why I pack a Zarona
yes because your melee is inadequate for killing them
honest recommendation
download creature spawner and practice from there
so you have to use ammo to compensate when other melees wouldn't have to
correct, different tools for different jobs
the chainsword is one of very few melees that cannot kill ragers
it is the only blunt knife in your kitchen that you always look at funny whenever you grab it by instinct
before hastily putting it away
to get one of the better knives
Like for example how about 2 of the other "bad" melees
Chain Axe for example
Green Chain Axe lights can one shot ragers nearly instantly, and blue Chain Axe does the same with its heavies
All variants of the dclaw sword just press parry and the rager is dead instantly
mk4 chainaxe doesn't 1 shot rager
i am sure that a 2,000-hour solo auric wunderkind player can airstrafe through levels with nothing but a Mk.IV letter opener, but i'm not interested in trying to fruitlessly grapple with precise combo patterns and timings - i'm gonna use a gear setup that works for me
That MK IV letter opener you're talking about is the fucking chainsword
at the very least, get creature spawner and practice
i was referring to zealot knife mobility shennanigans
You are using a letter opener in your "gear setup that works"
practice with what
It's funny because Eviscerator is actually one of the best Zealot melees for Havoc
melee?
But chainsword is kinda doodoo
Chainsword is so obviously the worst melee in the game I don't know how people defend it
nah
it doesn't even compare to the other low tiers
what, the timing thing?
Except like maybe the mk1 devils claw sword
Erhm it's used by commisars (cool factor) nerd
yea, u can set enemies to move and atk like normal
for years i've attempted to practice timing mechanics in various videogames, often to frustration
i'm no longer interested in attempting to hone a skill i do not have
is it timing or reaction time
timing, 100% - i have very good reaction time, which serves me well with the Zarona
i cannot push a button to a beat
how do u do push atk then
i don't
can u record a try
it sure does on a crit if you have headtaker up
or like, any red talent
i am imagining the attack from block you get when holding a push
most of the time it takes 2 swings
Perform a push but don't let the attack key go
You'll perform a push attack
yeah that's what i thought, but you don't need to time that it's automatic
yes that's "push atk"
did i not copy what you are doing?
wtf are you doing then, because it looks like push + light + light
I dunno why you'd even need to time this
you can literally just hold LMB when doing a push to do a push attack
While holding m2
Click and hold m1
After the animation plays, let go of m1 and click m1 again
Try it
i know what it is, but i don't use it during games
Why not
that's not what others here are saying lol
what are good perks for melee weapons?
why would i need a slow light swing pattern
caparace and flak?
depends on the weapon
tac axes?
but often flak and maniac
ok thanks
Because the push itself has higher stagger vs horde enemies and it chains into different attacks more efficiently?
For veteran
Unarmored
Maniac
why would i want to be attempting to do combo attacks, when I don't have the sense of timing required to execute them?
not gonna lie not wanting to engage with basic melee combat in a melee heavy game is very interesting way to play the game
To a point where u can replicate what I sent
cause most of the weapons dont require insane timing 
dork melee roster is largely spammy
what "timing" ur believing it to be is ultimately just reaction time based on ur own animations
hehe chainaxe go brr
you can have fun playing darktide your way buddy, and i'll play it my way
idk why every time i ask a question about darktide it keeps coming back to "you're playing the game wrong"
I didn't say any of that lol I just pointed u a way to improve what u struggle with rn
multiple times i said "i'm not interested" and multiple people here keep going "actually it'll work if you just X Y Z trust me"
i think next time I'll just say "no thanks" and refuse to engage
nah ik what u mean because a friend of mine also can't do combos
and it looks exactly like the video u sent
it's not a timing issue, it's a matter of understanding what inputs to do which attacks, and reacting to them
Bro. Why you gotta call me out like that. 
not u
a friend of mine from croatia
it looks like the Bolt Pistol overall does about 2/3 the damage of the Zarona? even with Deadly Accurate, the headshot damage is lagging behind
this is affecting TTK on beefy targets like ogryn and muties
That’s very specific
If you want to kill big guys stick with revolver
Mutant takes 3x as much damage from melee
I'd say it's between unarmored flak and maniac
Unarmored seems to be the one that was most reliable for me, so the choice would probably be between the other two
that's currently my plan, but i was looking for a way to try and make bolt pistol competitive because I like the way it feels
it has higher listed damage so i was hoping there was a way to bring it up to the Zarona's level
bolt pistol is mainly for gunners and stuff
Bolt pistol is used for grenade vets builds
I am using it for everything i can ping
i'm 1-2 tapping Damnation crushers
yeah bistol's not going to really be a perfect replacement for volver if you need it to kill crushers
i mean it is use useable you'll just run out of ammo
so far it works just fine, even without Survivalist
then keep on rocking 
yes
unfortunate, it's a real shame that the bolt pistol of all weapons is being outperformed like this in this role
revolver just has funny blessings that make it deal a lot of dmg
i would expect the revolver and BP to be occupying each other's seats, but i guess it makes sense since the revolver was added to the game first and had to be the pocket railgun
yeah it's mostly the blessings
handcannon memes
is Hand Cannon's rending really that powerful?
hm, i guess it would have a disproportionate impact on carapace
what a crying shame
my build uses deadshot and surgical to almost guarantee crits when ADS
pretty damn fun build if you like revolver
lol yeah that's my build above
i'm doing something similar
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9eb0b628-a9cb-48a6-b0e9-0276bbe773ec/six-shooter-support
do you want feedback on your build?
no thanks
I used it for the first time in a long while recently and it just made me sad
such an iconic weapon yet feels so weak
Well there’s a lot of room for improvement but up to you
i'm sure there is but i'm not soloing aurics
You’re going to have a hard time even with QP damnation if you don’t take iron will
Quite a peculiar question
At the very least take iron will i beg
i was wondering that too
i had a look at the server but couldn't understand the spanish(?)
Gmod logo together with a Helltaker demon
the reading comprehension in this server is tragic
"do you want advice on your build"
"no thanks"
"listen your build needs to really improve, make sure to take X Y Z-"
Your ability to avoid almost every good talent on the skill tree is quite admirable
👍
sorry that you're having trouble with branching out mate
hopefully you can figure out some new builds soon
I have all 5 loadout slots on veteran filled with different builds
and the off meta ones are my favorite
but I don't actively avoid the good skills even on the off meta ones
lol fuck me for suggesting you take one of the most important vet talents, amirite?
but if you want to keep your head stuck up your ass
and struggle in heresy
be my guest
Do you kill yamnation crushers with a onetap without superiority complex?
Nice
usually requires two though, on damnation
Ah ok
only get the onetap when the buffs line up
That makes more sense
im just mad its called a six shooter build when its a 5-shooter 
He plays on malice or something, that’s why
now THAT is valid criticism lmfao
why even have a build if you're only on heresy or below tbh
Ngl I mostly play malice
Then that build would work even if it’s an abomination
But I also normally just qp
I have done malice while forgetti g to have talents
That was fun
Malice has a higher chance of me being able to show someone a martyr skull
Heresy has the highest chance of an annoying douchebag
You folks think that making the bleeding talent be more easy to access could make some weapons better? Shovel feels oddly better with that talent
It’s a cursed difficulty
Yes for my knife build
It is
Uprising has the highest chance of encountering a level 6k+
Well yeah absolutely
Funny bleed doesn't seems to impact as much as for shovel tbh
This would make mercy killer for knife actually good
Knife is still knife tho
... it lets you run mercy killer
Which I run
Because I am commited to the bit
which is better lacerate or flesh tearer?
ok then
I personally prefeer flesh tearer if I was forced between the two
guess it's just mercy killer and a rending bless
Tearer>>>>
Do NOT run mercy killer 😭
Flesh tearer is "better" but the in game performance isn't that different
They’re both pretty niche but if I have a dedicated bleed knife build, lacerate
Imo
This is what I run, just a massive point tax
Dedicated bleed knives are in a rough spot
Unless you have the bleed talent but still
off
handcannon is not needed on it
oof im getting some mixed signals here
Basically bleed knife is niche
lacerate for mk3, flesh tearer for mk6
What is the knifemaxing perks and blessings?
The bit is mercy killer uncanny
Well
Lacerate goes against the Knife's huge weakspot bonuses
Lacerate is for spamming i to hordes
So you're bleeding yourself in the foot with lacerate
I forget what fleshtearer does tbh
Bleed on crits
lacerate == bleed on non weakspot?
Yeah
Flesh is bleed on crits
Regardless if weakspot or not
right that
But landing only weakspots on hordes of elites is not realistic
If flesh was bleed on headshots
It would be n1 blessing
Combined with uncanny for bleed megadmg
Yup
Usually
And pimple
with the huge blot on its back
Because boom
yea it's basically pointless
outside of maybe psyker
If it is a horde of elites
what else do i slap on it then
handcannon is like in every build known to man lmao
But is common to land hits on arms and stuff even when aiming to head
point blank + run&gun
Against an elite?
Better correct your aim then
unusal but ill give it a spin
is this vet only or all classes
No surgical?
You're not light attacking an elite anyways
Why is hand cannon a no go? No form to guarantee crit?
It's heavy or go home
no because it doesn't change anything outside of shooting crushers
u don't meaningfully kill ANY enemy better with it
Casual Zarona W
point blank is better than surgical for this gun most of the time
Not even maulers? Wow
shoot body twice with crits
remember how rending works
Dont mauler heads get weakspot bonuses though?
Btw petition to make groins a weakspot for all enemies
the emperor can keeps his unpowered laspistols
yes, except revolver does significantly more dmg with crit, and it already does a lot more vs flak than carapace
Only when using kick attack
Nah, hellbore to the groin
Nurgle followers: jokes on you, can't kill what is already ded
Ill kick the grandfather in the nuts
And try to stop me
@tall torrent is running stamina + good on knife?
stamina and block efficiency is a strategy on knife
don't know how good, but not bad
Shankmaxing
it's genuinely not a bad strategy
but i don't know if more push attacks overpower damage bonuses
As a havoc slop player I can't not run flak+unyielding
it's ok
Ty
I would just run a stamina curio tbh
the damage perks are really too good to pass up
which ones are good for it? flak and unyeling? caparace is an option?
what about +elite
Flak and unyielding, I'm not really a knife main but check if carapace changes the breakpoints
Flak

rat is trying to scam me, need robo dog sooner so it can eat it
Uncanny and riposte
Flak unyielding
Maybe uncanny precog

Hello, I just started playing the game and I´m playing a beginner friendly recon lasgun build. There is currently a blue Recon at 260 Lasgun in the shop that are 80% max potential to everything and 60% to collateral, which Is to my understanding what you want on the gun, Should I buy I and just spend all my efforts crafting it to make it stronger?
yeh that's a perfect roll
so a good investment
Yup
assuming you like the gun
thank you, jsut wanted to make sure I understood the guides ive looked up correctly
But tbh while levelling just try to play diff weapons
I did, the recon lasgun felt the best so far from the ones ive tried 😛
so i just for now want a solid weapon i can focus on that can help me speed up my progress
recon las is powerful, so if you like it, it's a good investment
If you're just starting out there's no reason to use any specific thing, just try out different stuff and use what you think is fun to use. It's only at the very highest difficulties that you need to start sweating this stuff, and by that point you'll probably already know what works best.
crafting wise, should I first consecrate the weapon to max and then dump everything on empowering it as much as possible?
Behead 7 billion people
Generally, the best idea is to consecrate them, and then empower/refine them as you gain weapon mastery and crafting materials. Because at the highest consecration you get the perk and blessing slots.
doesn't matter. the most important thing for a weapon is getting the right dump stats
but if you don't have the money for that yet, get what you can
It did, I watched a guide video first and was told to get 60% dumpstats on collateral and 80% on everything else (recon lasgun), which i was lucky to have just picked up from the shop just now
meaning consecrate to max, get the best blessings and perks you can, empower as much as you can and keep rolling for the correct dump stat
thank you 🙂
in which case get what you can, whenever you can
the order doesn't matter if you know you're gonna stick to the weapon and not toss it the moment an upgrade appears
A few percents of stats here and there doesn't mean jack until you hit the higher difficulties.
understood
combat axe
mk2 then?
using accatran feels like cheating
that or antax
no recoil you just brbrrbrbrrbrbb enemies to death
They really need to fix the infantry lasgun imo
it's in a good spot after... years? of being garbage
I'ts good if you want to practice weakspot damage
but no suppression means they just move sideways and you hit the shoulder
Skill issue but I must improve
take determined talent another node tax
There's no point at all in rolling weapons at Brunt's shop when you're just starting out. When your weapon masteries are low you aren't gonna max them out anyway.
like i dont want to swap it off cause of the long wind-up animation
either of the bayonet ones
the axe isn't great i hear
yeah i mean, i hoped it was clear that the order i wrote the suggestions in meant the order of operations also
might not have
So you get a good bayo or a good shot
If you wanna play Helbore, get used to dodging instead of blocking. Because it works pretty well that way. Also the Helbore stab counts as a melee attack so it procs Agile Engagement, which can prove useful.
i just want a bayo that's good enough for melee clean up/ horde clear
so i dont have to swap out when i get swamped
what's the differences between the 2?
Mk3 is the all arounder
damage/ammo?
Mk5 charges faster but less damage per shot
i see
Since mk5 charges fast you don't need the Weight of Fire blessing
might need to try both then
But that's the only reason you switch to melee when you play Helbore. When it gets overwhelming and you're getting swarmed. That's when you pull out the power sword or whatever else you have to deal with melee hordes.
hoping i dont get dead team when that happen
but yeah might wanna bring the ol reliable
that or the emergency parrying claw
If you're just leveling up I would actually suggest using whatever you get as mission rewards, maybe upgrading a little as needed, but generally just hoarding your crafting mats. Apart from the currency you get from completing weekly contracts, of course - those can buy you 500 rated weapons even at level 1 and aren't useful at all once you've leveled up your characters.
Right, my bad. It's been a long time since I had to level a character. But the point is, you can get 500 rated weapons from there by completing contracts, even if your weapon mastery isn't up to speed.
neither is good at horde clear
Just speaking in relative with the other bayo
Im sure it wont wholesale replacing a melee wep
what melee weapons would you guys say synergize with recon best?
something that can deal with carapace
i use power sword or chain axe
i have onslaught
i don't like onslaught but in that case, something that can deal with hordes
power sword, combat axe, dword...
Do you have Onslaught? Yes? Weapons that can horde
No? Single target weapons
Rashad and power sword fit both horde and single target

the point still stands
onslaught gives the recon mediocre carapace damage
not good carapace damage
I hate veteran
what is d word?
how do you like to build ur power sword?
thanks
Unless it’s havoc
Then fuck you
I'm powerswordering
Only PS
Only PostScript? 
damn that new skin looks great
which one?
orla Sendrin
You look great 

whats the highest toughness % curio you guys have found?
Highest it goes is 17%
Why's no one mentioning the commissar cap on vets normal rotation
It's a new one I think
So having combat axe on vet is bad? cause you know, no unccany strike
nah rashad is still one of the strongest vet melees in the game in auric/AM
Oh nice
Rashad is like
Top 3 vet weapon
IG by that logic
Shovel should also be good
I feel like uncanny interaction might be removed soon
Hey fellas, bolter build with rashad, got 2 points left, where should I invest em?
Should get bring it down?
Or pick +elite dmg and some thoughness?
I'm terrified to see what the top of the build looks like 😓
with this u may as well just play plasma
boltgun wants more dedicated spec
No reloading nodes
Without damage and reload, bolt gun is a just a worse version of the plasma
u can start by not going WS for boltgun
And then
drop rashad
because rashad wants dedicated melee spec
and boltgun wants dedicated range spec
u can't get both
Sad, don't want to mess up my fashion
Was using the toothpick but looks bad on the heavy armor
Just take Power Sword
Too slow, plus got no decent skin that mix with this set
Think Ill mix match other fashion and see how it goes
Heavy armor mentioned
Wanna try the shock maul?
If u want to play driptide, get the weapon mod
Tenno?
Is it decent?
I never tried it, I seen people talked about it
I like to roleplay with the skins but I'm not willing to sacrifice too much effectiveness in battle
Ayy
Is not good for high density horde
But I don't think I have anything for it
But great armored target
Hmmmmm sounds decent tbh
That what it is
It can shock the target
Good for rager
They’ll stun
For one only
Mhmmm
Default skin for shock maul seems to be black/ with little olive details?
Colorblind can't tell
Hey hey even default one is pretty decent plus it goes well with the armor
On it, so following folk recomendations I need something that needs no dedicated nodes hmmm
Bruh, people who try to play driptide is the reason why everyone takes CS on Vet in my Havoc games
So this weapon sins from the same issues as chainsword with that special
It shocks the target when use the special
You don’t have to perform every time
Just smack on head and they’ll die
Actually I think I got an idea
Havoc folk are too meta whore and I get it, but some of these weapons are dang weakkk
Will buy 500 hundred of these and level up, then see how it goes
Shock Mauls are incredibly
Mid
They literally only struggles against monstrosities
And yet
Mid
💀
Hey there is one situation that power maul does well in
Bullwalks
That's automatically better than CS in my books
and ragers
which is probably the bigger reason
It doesn't if u take an impact blessing
overheads with literally the same animation as combat axe heavies
Hammerblow sits Ragers
doesn';t stagger ragers by default
PS at default is also trash 😈
That's like
A lot of weapons
And by default
It stuns ragers
So which one is it
😭
It also has 11 cleave on most attacks
How's this weapon mid
😭
it just is
12:99$ I think
I think it's $11.99
FOR THE EMPERRO!!!
Hi folks. Is chain sword still viable option or should i stick to Shovel?
Use whatever you want, Chain sword does underperform compared to some other weapons
but its a funny weapon
and what is current meta if playing with Weapon Specialist? (its for a friend)
all other weapons imo
even other low tiers don't have it as hard as chainsword does
lol. Weren't they meta a few patches back?
yeah) last time I played

is Duck and Dive any good?
which braced autogun does the most dps?
Graia
Niche
neat. blessings?
Really only used with deadshot
King von once said end gun violence
Welp
Just hit 5500 penance points finally
Still stand by the thought that this armor is ugly as sin and has no business being this bad
What, the loyal 6th armor?
KING VON???
King Von is such an advocate for peace
Fly low king von
Chain sword was never meta
You talking about the beta or something?
He’s looking up at us right now 🥀
Yeah
Why does a cult boss keep spawning on the skulls mission of dark communium
no... Some time ago it was very decent
maybe a year back ish
He's just rude like that
Like
At the start of the mission
He appeared
We beat the shit out of him
But I checked my scoreboard and noone did boss damage at all
Later between 1st and 2nd medicae
This exact same fucker appeared
If I interpret it correctly, the new class announcement basically means we're not gonna get the free new vet weapons they promised anytime soon. That's kinda diappointing.
when were these promised?
and how do you know we wont be getting them on the day of the update itself?
when the other classes got new weapons, was this in Feb/March or late last year? Don't remember. edit: It was last year.
Cause they don't mention anything about them. WIth FS it's if it isn't explicitely mentioned, don't expect it to be there.
fs hates chain weapons 😭
even evisc is powercrept
FS hates balancing. Haven't touched the game in months now because they refuse to roll out a much needed balance overhaul. OP stuff left and right.
FS, nerf VoC already for the emperors sake.
whats voc
Vommand of Coice
oh yh veteran having 0 ability variety does get old
I just want Exe Stance to get toughness back on killing people
especially when the highlighting enemy elite one is so much more fun
i miss the reload full on ability cast 😔
I've got a mod that plays kick-start my heart when I activate exe stance its so fun
like the dead-eyes?
What
Its just fun hearing one of my favourite songs as I blast people with the Plasma Gun
dead-eyes from reddead make cool
There's also a mod that plays the fart sound whenever you use the ogryn taunt
There's also a mod that replaces zealot book with rock
the rock shrine thee
ah, fair enough. I don't entirely remember
It was December last year hehe we've only had to wait 6 months
Am i the only one that find it wierd that the Elbows plates of the "Orla Sendrin" Armor Bundle are painted green instead of black like the rest of the armor's carapace?
Veteran should be tall or short?
if youre tall you can hit bulwarks head over their shield
If exec stance suppresses or pushes back enemies around you whenever you kill a highlighted target would be really fun
Also buff helbore when
Short can hide behind cover better, but makes certain shots harder or impossible. Taller trades always being shot at on lower cover for the ability to bonk bigger things on head easier. Or poke bosses heds easier.
ok
Some say med-tall is better, to your taste.
@tall torrent what if vet gets melta charges and smokes are moved to arbities
Daily reminder that the game was made for 4 veteran runs
the closest we'll get to kino
To add to what others have said, minheight vets can effectively use the firing slits on the prefab emplacement pieces
This can lead to funny situations where you can run up to it and gun down heretics on the other side trying to use it as cover
5'11 vs 6' gaming

having the height to land weakspot hits in melee a bit easier is very nice tho
i like minimum height cause when i play with friends they always start laughing at my stupid manlet
Is hellbore and shovel combo really that bad?
hellbore has poopy sights
case in point
You only need like a 65% accuracy rating with something like the MKIV Helbore to put out good damage
plenty of people mod in replacement sights
I also like all the other high accuracy weapons
revolver is nice
popping heads with heavy laspistol is nice
hellbore just has poopy sights
Revolver isnt a high accuracy weapon, the hitboxes for that thing are huge af
I'm just going by gameplay.
I'm not sitting here analysing hitboxes so that I can tell other people they suck.
Well the reason a lot of people hate the helbore is because they suck
And the reason lots of people like to categorise other people as bad, on the internet, is because they lack meaningful physical relationships.
Sweeping generalisations are fun.
Its a weapon comparison not a therapy session lmao
MKIV has the best irons
So I get stuck with ugly weapon colors
although all of the irons are fine
I will see for myself when I level up the vet then
I thought we were just making bullshit unsupported guesses.
What about the shovel? Is it as good as combat axe?
As good as? Probably not.
I know shovel isn't their main melee but it is the most fitting one
It's fun, though.
Shovel is more of a light attack spam, click a head per swing, kinda thing.
But the heavies cleave pretty alright, at least for crowd control.
Here's a generic Helbore shovel build for Auric
This is a H40 build for the MKIV, although this is much harder to play than the previous build
I dont wanna copy the build of someone else right off the bat
I wanna see what is good and pick those and spend the rest on whatever
Krak grenades suck right?
Well you can gleam some ideas off it if you'd like
Kraks are fine on reg auric board
Shovel is, you want CC or you want to delete crushers.
Not good against hordes?
7 just feels bad.
CC hordes.
Mk 1 is control everything, bully ragers.
The MK1 Shovel deletes trash hordes on reg auric
Mk 3 is 1 shot crushers funni.
Mk 7 is bastard child that does both but far worse.
Cos if you build it to 1 shot crushers, it does it slower.
If you build it to CC, you lack the Mk 1 special CC bulli.
Just stagger?
See dueling sword poke but bigger AoE.
Ah
Can it open up bulwarks?
Wish I could pick krieg as the home planet
Cadia isn't in the moebian domain is it why tf is it an option
You can test that yourself tbh.

Rashad Axe is S tier
Antax Axe is A tier
Shovel is low B tier
I just know it bulli ragers to heck
Rashad axe is just peak
Mornax is the closest to krieg I guess
Branx magna looks like Cybertron
Popular option, I guess.
I guess there are so many cadians that there being a bunch that get arrested on the moebian domain makes sense
Is why they get a full voice as well.
sadly not an option...
why are eyebrows in this game so fucking ugly
help me pick a hair for my kriegsman
i guess buzzcut fits veteran best
Wat hair? Don't you gas mask?
i will
but the one i want wont be in shop for a while
and i still wanna look good underneath lol
kriegsmen can have rizz

professional would be good
now a kriegsman
would do absoultely none of these
i guess misplaced faith is the most reasonable one everything else is army related
or sedition
meh these make no effect anyway fuck it
Pick for colour, duh.
Till they let you buy them all.
Such an easy commisary thing but newp.
woman is a traitor even as a servitor she cant do shit smh
Remember that a decent chunk of rejects were also falsely accused and arrested, so you can take that into consideration
does this backpack fit?
hmm true
the krieg outfit
cant really find a black or brown one
yeaah it looks fine
how?
please and thank you
oh
this but fully filled out with proper dump stat
but why?
i need for a friend thats new
and dont want him to be buried in info
his on shovel + inflasgun stage
that stage lasts like 2 hours at worst
they will get other things way before they can start upgrading or rolling for a perfect one lmao
fuck i have 1900 aquilas left
meh it is fine
the already have 2 perfect one stat wise
and they just want this info
but if no then oh well
now just need a good helmet
oh wow
thats REALLY lucky
i know the dump is mobility
but blessings someone else would have to answer
they have more luck than intelect
i do
but nothing that early
they got lvl 30 vet today
still teaching them the ropes on malice
hopefully will play heresy tommorow
How come you don't want to use the normal Krieger helmet?
You could also go for Arlo Tohmasson's helmet or the Steel Legion helmet ig
@dry cloak For what all 3 marks?
of shovle for vet
aye thanks
Mk1 has more leeway but Mk3 is Uncanny Thrust, Mk7 Uncanny Deci
what are folding shovels but defective standard shovels
Not well, you have to exploit a bug to put a non-folding skin on a folding shovel
why do u need to use a bug to put on a skin you bought
what does folding even do lmao
make u faster?
7 does sound fun
one-shot crushers
but standard shovel is still the best shovel mark
how does folding a shovel damage anything?
wdym 🤔
how does folding a shovel make it any stronger or do anything different
i will use mark 1 cuz that has the skin i want
folding lets it do a lot of single target damage
how does this do more damage
They slam that small sharp end into someone's skull
even though you're not supposed too cause that would destroy the shovel, but video games
Ah that part
don't think too much about WH logic
It's not even particularly illogical though
Ogryn does a silly and still uses the normal end tho
It just concentrates the force onto one point like the pick of a real warhammer, and everything's made of durable materials like Plasteel and Diamantine so it's able to withstand the force
Yeah this is why its done, its with the same idea of Ippon Ken where you're purposely putting all your force into one small point for maximum damage
Admittedly with a sapper shovel
it would shatter after like 10 times of doing that
I would be surprised if it didn't immediately break the pivot point
but yeah
only thing is that several other weapons have what amounts to spikes on them
and none of them are like uber weapons
it's an entrenching tool
Honestly surprised the sapper shovels dont have the same mechanic that Chain weapons have
it is for hacking up ground to dig trenches
yeah but you can see it
if you Special attack an enemy you can cancel the lock on via Dodging
a shovel is just a dirt axe
who came up with that i wonder
use heavy axe blade to cut ground
right... just don't think about how an improvised warpick is supposed to penetrate the heaviest plate armor in the game...
I always use the basic shovel, do sapper shovel special attacks hold you in place?
yes
no
not as long as chain weapon tho
they're just downwards swings
no they latch on
Yes
huh
they latch on like chainswords
TIL
it's pretty quick still
you can pull out if you get swarmed
chain weapons take forever
It would be very funny if a fourth person can drop in to say "no"
So you're fucked if ragers swarm you when you land a Folded Strike
I usually use the non foldy shovel on vet
ogryn latrine brute brainer is nice though
Mk1 is the best variant
a lot of the other variants like
Secrets of the Machine God
everything before that is relatively weak
but obviously there's outliers
does the ogryn folding shovel also do lockon?
Luv me Mk1 (also the best due to the Krieg skin)
because it has never felt like that, to me
and I figured it worked the same as vet, which I don't usually bother using
Nope
its more it pierces through fully or bounces off
that makes more sense, then
yup, only vet suffers
its why you see Ogryns with their Foldables
Vet's Foldables are mediocre
Honestly the Breakpoint class thats why you see a lot of people say
weapons are bad
is cause its too costly to get it into a Breakpoint, or it just needs too much point investment to make usable
oyes ty
in an insane world
could i dump ammo if i wanted both mobility and stability
or is the spread reduction on moving not that worth it to dump ammo for it
why would you need mobility
During the last weapon drop all the other classes got something but vets, weren't we meant to be getting something to make up for that later this year or am I misremembering.
yes
dual chain axes. becomes what you hate the most: a rager
what does weapon mastery do
