sometimes running the meta can be really fun though

Hey I know this video

I wonder where from

Also, bunmer (one of the vets in the video) says he wants to run it again

#

If 2 random vets want to play smokes with us someday

#

I'll record another run

just cause smokes are peak fucking comedy

I was begging him to hide it in the most obscure spot so you'd barely see it unless you actively looked

#

What has been everyone's experience achieving the "Make Every Shot Count" penance? What was easiest for you guys?

inland orchid
#

Shotguns do well since only one pellet needs to land for it to count as a landed shot, I got mine with the combat shotgun

#

Introduced a majority of shooters to my gun’s barrel and meleed the rest of the way

#

Enjoyable but not getting a vet with survivalist aura in pub matchmaking can be up to fate alone

versed mesa
#

i took a revolver and remove survivalist out of the talent. And shoot up close just to make sure i don't miss.

severe jolt
#

All shotguns should be like the Kickback. Because let's face it, a shotgun is NOT the short range weapon that most video games make them out to be. More betterer at short range, sure, but there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to kill something 50 meters away from you. Hell, that's half the reason people even use shotguns, the fact that at least some of the pellets will hit the target at a long range.

gritty mural
# tired monolith

use revolver or plasma gun, I haven't heard of anyone being able to do this with a shotgun recently in the past year or two

#

shotguns accuracy seems to be calculated differently unless I'm told otherwise

uncut pebble
#

Shotgun's "accuracy" for the penance only matters if one single pellet hits an enemy.

#

As long as one hits any enemy, the shot counts as a hit.

#

Except bulwark shields, those don't count last I checked.

crimson pebble
gritty mural
#

have you completed it recently? because I've had a bunch of veteran friends go through this awful penance and the shotgun hasn't worked for either of them until they used a revolver/plasma

crimson pebble
#

still suck at going through solid metal

uncut pebble
#

Modern body armor is made with either steel plates or ceramic plates.

#

Buckshot can and will pierce.

#

Flechettes are designed to pierce.

#

You think 40k doesn't have some souped up flechette ammo for the purpose of punching through carapace?

#

I'd actually imagine they don't even use normal buckshot anymore, considering the Imperium's standard enemies are heavily armored/thick skinned.

severe jolt
crimson pebble
uncut pebble
#

Anywho, shotguns don't need to be some monstrous sort of weapon that works at every range, but they definitely need a buff.

uncut pebble
#

Flechettes have superior penetration and velocity compared to buckshot.

crimson pebble
#

show me any footage or evidence of a flechette doing anything other the scuffing a hard plate

loud belfry
#

flechettes in EFT were so strong at some point

uncut pebble
#

For reference, IIIa is rated for handgun calibers.

severe jolt
#

They don't need to be super effective at every range, but they need to do something. The Kickback is a perfect example of how the shotguns should work.

uncut pebble
#

III is rated for intermediate cartridges.

#

I would be willing to put money on flechettes piercing class III armor at the right range.

uncut pebble
#

I dont remember the guy's name but I can hear his cigarette smoker tone, "Shotguns, at the right range, with the right load, will physically remove a chunk of shit from your opponent and throw that shit on the floor."

crimson pebble
severe jolt
# uncut pebble No it isn't but go off.

It's bad game design if there's a whole class of weapons that most players don't ever want to use, and isn't like that for any practical or lore reason. Not to mention we're getting a new class whose whole thing is using shotguns. They need a rework badly.

crimson pebble
#

id say double barrels fine as is but combat stinks

calm shard
loud belfry
#

id trust tarkov with my LIFE

severe jolt
#

maybe we should wait until americans are awake and ask them, at least one of them is guaranteed to have tested whether their shotguns can pierce body armor

loud belfry
#

gemini says level II or IIIA

#

and has gemini ever been wrong before?? (yes)

crimson pebble
#

i am this person their is not a chance in hell any conventional shells outside of very custome made slugs are piercing a hard plate some still struggle on kevlar grnated you get hit w the kevlar you might still be alive but your whole shit will be fucked up

tired monolith
#

with zarona revolver

gritty mural
#

nice, I honestly wouldn't recommend shotgun because the game falls apart from time to time so it most likely won't work. The people I knew that did try even wrote down everytime they hit something and it didn't even give them the penance after getting every shot

crimson pebble

I just need Adept Assassin, Armorbane, Unseen Predator and Killshot Ready penances then I am Certified Veteran

im in the final stretch of like my last 4 penances like 10 more vent purge missions, 30 more pox ,25 mortis then like 30k more killto finish out a million

grand perch
#

it does stupid boss damage

#

also this burster mustve been clutching a krak grenade cause that had 0 aoe radius

severe jolt
#

Does marksman's focus proc if any of the pellets hit a weakspot?

grand perch
#

with minimum pellet count i'd assume if one pellet hits, its going to calculate damage based on the minimum pellet count hitting a weakspot

severe jolt
#

does it proc the stacks or movement penalty reductions?
honestly never even considered taking MF with shotgun
I have so many questions
maybe oughta play a few aurics with a build like that

grand perch
#

if any pellet hits weakspot it procs MMF, though with shotguns and hitreg being a bit jank ive opted to use camo to force mmf stacks when necessary

#

works best with agrip shotgun, has the best finesse modifier. especially with slugs

tepid otter
#

Huh, that's actually pretty sick

#

Found a similar build but it was using the Helbourne Lasgun, so I might try out the shotty now too

tall torrent
tall torrent
#

zarona has higher min pellet count vs unyielding than its real pellet count

#

quite funny

grand perch
#

if we're limiting to boss damage yes

#

i meant generally, zarona seems to have worse finesse modifier?

#

havent tasted that one yet tho

severe jolt
tall torrent
grand perch
#

shotguns frankly are always a mess to figure out the mechanics

severe jolt
#

this is my favorite build right now not gonna ngl lie
won't even bother including a melee weapon because anything works since the laspistol can kill everything and never run out of ammo

#

it's ridiculous, being able to kill even crushers no problem, with just a pistol

tepid otter
#

How do u get other weaps to 500 rating

Is Pinning Fire and Puncture a good blessing on Boltgun or are there better picks

whats the purpose of using charge shots on the plasmagun rather than spamming light shots?

tame lodge
#

Exploding yourself

wind prism
#

right 😭

vivid silo
#

You can penetrate a bit deeper cover with charged shots

tame lodge
#

It's supposed to trade ammo and heat for more damage

#

But it isn't worth it at all

vivid silo
#

You can use a charged shot when you are below 3 ammo left in magazine for "free"

wind prism
#

aight thanks
also does exploding the plasgun instantly downs you? or js deals dmg to yourself

tame lodge

Hi guys,I'm trying the weapons and I see no point on using the shovel

#

What is it good at?

tame lodge

Nothing

snow cypress

makes sense

tame lodge

(stagger-ish)

#

It's a safe weapon

#

Can keep hordes staggered

#

Can Special PA a Rager to death

vivid silo
#

It's very handy for those times where you need to take a quick dump during a mission

#

Can't have turds lying around on the floor all over the place, that's a work hazard!

snow cypress
#

ohhhhhh

vivid silo
#

Also, it has a very satisfying bonk sound

tame lodge

Don't fall for the bonk trap

sudden cedar

A shovel is an amazing tool for digging trenches.

snow cypress

I mean that bonk sound is so good

tame lodge

But the weapon itself.....

#

At least it doesn't make me feel like playing a better weapon

That's a lot of agility

I built for the heavy armor that makes heavy weapon atk cost -1 AP

so now my burst heavy bolter atk costs only 1 AP

I like forge world origin

it covers skill checks much better than the other origins

Finally found a use for Pasqal

Because it scales of Int

Pasqal grand strategist is the easy way to build him

But

Huh, no wonder Grand Strategist Idira sucked on my first playthrough

Pasqal is ultimately pretty mid unfortunately

His atk economy is not good enough for dps

stoic thorn

The snipers long las is DIFFERENT

Yeah I know that part

And he has low perception so he kinda gets gimped later on

#

Or alternatively, you pick up Jae and let her charm everyone and everything, including machines.

tall torrent
#

Jae is super underrated

#

Cassia + Jae + DPS seems like by far the strongest setup for majority encounters

#

U don’t need anyone else

#

Pasqal exists solely for tech use checks

sudden cedar
#

This is not meant as boasting, but the Unfair character i have, the build is so busted that i resorted to sometimes only running the RT and Jae because i will still win.

#

With high enough Charisma, Jae can do tech-checks just as well as Paqual.

tall torrent
#

Yea u can kit her purely for stats

tame lodge
sudden cedar
#

And she'll still work.

I have her kit for combat tho so fellowship is a bit lower

Only 100 out of combat

sudden cedar
#

Whats the second tier archetype called again?

tall torrent
#

Jae best is master tactician

sudden cedar
#

Yes, that one.

tall torrent
#

Grand strategist goes to cassia / pasqal usually

sudden cedar
#

Jae as Master Tactician is just buffing the RT and the RT is just deleting everything while being injured and traumatized to all hel.

#

And does not care at all.

tall torrent
#

Master tactician Jae is a better support than cassia but cassia does dps better than Jae

#

I don't even bother using Cassia. Unpopular opinion, i know.

I’m not sure if full dogmatic or full iconoclast is better late game tbh

Can't leave Heinrix on Rykad

Hes p cool.

Tbh yeah heinrix is chill

Its funny when he says we jave to judge yrliet

Heinrix in act 3 is pretty funny

uncut pebble

Build Heinrix as an assassin and he becomes a melee monstrosity.

Which scales with agility

Yeah first time Im actually going to take that skill

You need Operator levels of accuracy to use a shotgun

crisp oak
#

Ive seen enemies dodge and still get hit

slow spade
#

Enemies will have like 180% dodge on Unfair

crisp oak
#

If I max out agility

tall torrent
#

The governor on Janus was able to dodge out of a heavy boltgun burst

slow spade
crisp oak
#

Does guarunteed crits feom confident approach count as 100% cc?

slow spade
#

They ONLY take damage during dodge if they cannot dodge out of the shot

crisp oak
#

Or nah

tall torrent
#

But frankly

crisp oak
#

Because then you can combo with the crit cha ce to dodge reduction

tall torrent
#

I don’t care about it too much

crisp oak
#

Exemplar skill

#

For an extra 20% dr

tall torrent
slow spade
#

Arch-militant stances are pretty eh imo

crisp oak
tall torrent
#

Dodge reduction from crit chance is not that crazy

crisp oak
#

I mean por que no los dos

tall torrent
#

But vital points goes insanely hard with high crit chance

crisp oak
#

You probably need both

slow spade
#

Degraded Defenses is probably the most op exemplar skill

crisp oak
#

Other option I can do is run officer master tactician with double barrel shield

crisp oak
#

And solomons

slow spade
#

We banned it KEKW_ogryn

crisp oak
#

Peak condition is pretty good too

tall torrent
#

I kind of like flesh wounds even though it’s not very good

slow spade
crisp oak
#

Peak condition is my first pick for any melee

#

Build

slow spade
#

Degraded Defenses is just straight up cheating

tall torrent
#

I use flesh wounds exclusively for integrity

slow spade
#

"-95% damage taken" -> still killed thumbsup_ogryn

crisp oak
#

Hmmm flesh wounds shotgun shield with max coercian

#

And solomons

slow spade
#

I like to use Know It All for the minor stats buffs just because it fits my char so well lol

#

Forge World RT with Int maxed? Oh yeah he's a fucking nerd

crisp oak
#

Though then again maybe shields will suck

crisp oak
#

Gigachad

#

Like 40% armor

slow spade
crisp oak
#

Issue is the agility one is better

slow spade
#

Probably should

crisp oak
#

For arch militant

#

Cuz extra movement points and dodge

slow spade
#

Yeah the lack of accuracy hurts a ton

crisp oak
#

Combine that with second skin

#

And you get mega dodge and armor

slow spade
#

Dodge Reduction my beloved

tall torrent
crisp oak
tall torrent
#

u just need to take characteristic training INT early

#

otherwise u can't level INT during soldier

crisp oak
#

Yeah

#

You dont need that much int though

tall torrent
#

I levelled INT to 80

#

good enough

crisp oak
#

I mean bs is less helpful after 65 right

slow spade
#

Once you start getting 100% crit

#

It varies a lot honestly

crisp oak
#

Especially with broad expertise

slow spade
#

Some good items also scale off of Ballistic Skill too

crisp oak
#

True

#

I run a janky af build for my tanky arch militant

#

The gloves that let you parry, enforcer boots no idea if they work tbh

slow spade
#

Was going to go for a lasgun + melta gun combo for maximum shooty

crisp oak
#

The -1ap reloads

uncut pebble
#

The parry gloves are quite good considering Argenta can't use a melee weapon for shit.

slow spade
#

And just ram a lasgun down people's throat to increase accuracy thumbsup_ogryn

crisp oak
#

Assuming they have the boots

tall torrent
crisp oak
#

Or can shotguns not trigger attacks of oppurtunity

slow spade
#

They don't

tall torrent
#

the biggest shame is

#

resolve stacking has a certain upper limit

slow spade
#

I killed a daemonette point-blank thanks to it

tall torrent
#

cuz u can't heroic act spam more than once per turn

slow spade
#

Yeah :c and there's so much Resolve and Momentum stacking items

uncut pebble

crisp oak

the heavy armor that reduces heavy weapon atk AP by 1

#

267% dodge for power armor btw

slow spade

As intended

crisp oak
#

From fortress world

slow spade
#

Sadly there's an attack cap

tall torrent
slow spade
#

Iirc it's like 13 attacks per char

tall torrent
#

now am on forge world I kinda prefer it more

crisp oak
#

More dakka

crisp oak
slow spade
#

I miss infinite attacks Pasqal

tall torrent
crisp oak
#

So you are shpeed

tall torrent
#

crit is redundant to me cuz I take confident strike

crisp oak
#

Yee

#

And that agi means you dont miss

tall torrent
#

toughness is redundant to me cuz none of my talents scale toughness

#

AGI just scales movement better for better shot angles

crisp oak
#

Yup

#

And some good 30% dodge

tall torrent
#

for skills I spec demo/logic mainly

#

demo for demo engineer to scale ranged area atk

#

logic because there's 1 item late game that allows u to use heroic act without using momentum, at any momentum

#

it's a hard logic check to pass to unlock that talent

slow spade
#

Lol that funny item

crisp oak
#

Are you running icono?

#

Or dogmatic

tall torrent
#

cuz it scales extra atks from firerate

slow spade
tall torrent
#

ah shame

slow spade
#

Yeah you used to have literally infinite attacks before they nerfed Pasqal

crisp oak
#

Cuz if you run icono then you ca get 3 heroic acts in a row

tall torrent
slow spade
#

Which is a theoretical 40 attacks but 13 is the hard cap :c

tall torrent
#

the imperium needs dogmatic people that are iconoclast enough at the right time

#

and that's how I spec my character

slow spade
#

Lvl 4 Iconoclast because more ults UwU

crisp oak
#

My iconoclast guy is an iconoclast guy who is dogmatic at the right time

#

Aka exterminatus

Also the ability to instantly dome my friends at lvl 5 Iconoclast is actually pretty useful

tall torrent

besides

They just had to be melee...

# slow spade She basically crippled Footfall but somehow it works out? 🤔

||ryzza is a heretic and believer of the cult of the final dawn
even if she repents, the stain of chaos won't fully leave her
and if chorda dies, her entire protectorate essentially dies with her, which is more lives lost and more worlds lost than losing footfall
by the end of the game ur own protectorates get big enough to be major trading and transport centers that losing footfall is ultimately not as big of a deal||

dear diary, today the emperor blessed me with a perfect roll Dueling sword, it is low level (320) so i figure i could use it a little to see how the fuzz about the weapon feels
i puked, sure is not great at horde clear, but with frag nades, and ogryn and the sheer movility it gives who needs horde clear?
