no
are smokes alright without the extra duration?
smokes are underrated
and misunderstood
i haven't done super hard stuff yet, but i already like 'em
frags are going to be better outside of havoc
Who is Higui
What is Higui
higuirashi
Curently level 20 with Vet(first time playing this game properly,tried it back when it launched and my old PC could not handle it)you guys got a solid all rounder vet build ?
shout + krak
a good default vet build to try to build for
i think technically shredder is better than krak at the high levels but that might also be outdated info
but krak is way easier to use
leveling I think krak since horde density isnt really there for frag value
but try it out if you want
nade for ogryn enemies and bosses
yeah i more mean at like havoc
Ive been playing with Krak a bunch and it seems giga OP
Really good
krak is good but most teams don't lack anti-ogryn stuff
Like you deal 20-30% of a Boss HP
krak is amazing, eventually it falls off but thats at the super sweaty difficulties
also krak scales off your Ranged damage buffs
so you can get the Ogryn damage talent to do more boss damage and stuff
I do disagree with this
but I see your view
WHAT
with the density frags get more horde clear value
the claim was that it essentially fails to one-shot the things its supposed to at that level
yeah stuff like Agile Engagement, Focus Target, Bigger They Are, etc buff Krak damage
and therefore is inferior
I am in that phase where im just trying every weapon to get a feeling
but kraks with gurenteed boss stagger and bulwarks 1shots is still high value
thats a good idea
while leveling
it took me around 1500 hours to find my fav weapon
Kill Zone seems to work with Krak but I never tested
This doesn't answer my question 
and i am still using it 1500 hours later
So far,Autoguns seem a bit like meme peashooters
getting mastery by playing every gun only to go back to my old beloved recon
or maybe im not using them properly
during the launch of Darktide, I hit lvl 15 and used the power sword. I never stopped using the power sword 
Well
I'm Higui
except patch 13 which giga-nerfed the power sword

Vraks mk5 is really good at close to mid range
the best overall autogun

I love the Mk1 shovel and I will love the mk1 shovel forever
i personally don't really like autoguns at all either so you're not alone
yeah the ammo efficiency from Shocktrooper is too good
My problem is that im curently playing mainly with randoms(one of the reasons i got into this discord is to look for parties)and when i take a autogun it feels like the rest of the team lacks anti-big boi weapons so we end up getting trashed by either Ogryns or Bosses
oh yeah you're going to want a power sword or something like that to deal with them
So far ive had bad luck with drops when it comes to a decent power sword
Power Sword's Push attack can 2 hit kill ogryns
Curently using a decent Combat Axe
ah yeah a Rashad combat axe can do work if properly set up
personally didn't have as good luck with the only Combat axe variants
Rashad is the only one I felt was always good in every situation
But so far im really digging the game
The presentation/audio is top notch
and aside from autoguns,alot of the weapons(ranged and melee) feel very meaty
want to see shotguns in the highest difficulty?
that could be cool
Havoc 40 Quad Vet Smokes. Home Made Vent Purge, Loyalist Friendly
I did a challenge run
hardest diffiuclty
4 vets
we all had smoke grenades
and I was using power sword double barrel
Damn,power sword really seems nutty
strongest melee weapon in higher difficulty
Does the vet get a chainsword ?
yes but chain weapons generally aren't that good rn
Who could have guessed that the sword that can cut through almost anything would be the strongest?
relic blade? yeah
How do you stab with the Power sword like that
Push attack
hold block then left click
(pretty sure)
its mainly muscle memory
but that is the push attack
its the main dps for Psword
can 1 shot every base game enenmy besides boss and crusher
Huh, neato, didnt know push attacks were a thing kekw
really usefu for Combat Axe because it can stagger ragers out of their combo
so a combat axe can bully ragers
really useful on a lot of weapons tbh
Need to start using it more often now
it really depends, on some weapons PAs don't do much
I mean honestly as a warning if you're playing a Melee that needs to PA every so often or frequently you will feel your stamina not being very high especially on Veteran
dawg
i was
90% of the way
through an assassination mission
on malice
NO MELEE DAMAGE TAKEN. NONE AT ALL.
then guess what the fuck spawns.
mutant
eight motherfucking ragers.
F
nah fuck this
i'm going into groups
getting like three ogryns
and having them baby me through a malice
because this is fucking stupid
is it too late to turn whatever fatshark employee is responsible for rager's coding to be turned into a servitor or servoskull
actually no
they're not even good for that
corpse starch
i'm turning whatever slack jawed, mouth breathing, chromosome deficient, mother loving, oedipus having, milk-before-cereal eating fucking bitch into corpse starch
Justified Crashout
im ngl thats probably when you're still not used to how vet plays the most fucking miserable penance to do
a fucking VOICE OF COMMAND
didn't work
i YELLED at these ragers
and they're just like "oh you fucking idiot"
You could try that, or play the most fucking scummy infil build possible
i'm only a level 13
Oh yeah honestly at that point
level up
Veteran doesn't become insane till later
easily till like 25-30
you're level 13 and you're trying to complete an achievement that involves playing a perfect game
ogryn's busted fucking broken from like level 3
yeah, i set high standards
Its
impossibly high some may say
i wouldnt really care but if that's how you react to failure i wonder what your issue is. and i do.
are at the bottom
it wasn't failure though
it was eight fucking ragers
spawning at once
I can help u do it
yeah there's a very easy cheese for it
that would be nice.
Alr I’ll get on
oh if you have to get on i won't bother you for it
It’s just 1 game it’s fast
well, it's failure due to spawn mechanics and an annoying glitch (voice of command didn't stagger ragers)
it's happened twice so far
smoke grenades they even work?
Thats unusual cause I tend to have VOC do the opposite and hit them through walls
usually
tetanus?
it staggers shit i dont even know exists
Ya
Yes, they're very much an anti-ranged tool
neat.
less a kill everything more a "Instant Cover" button
and by instant of course we mean two-three business days while the fuse ticks down
soo they are not that bad as people talk about them
they arent flashy
Gunner build veteran feels like it needs a buff
Heavily underrated
People tend to forget another thing
I saved a psyler with a dog on them through a wall today lol
if they're in an area you can't reach it forces ranged units to run from the smoke if they are inside of it to reposition
so you can flush them out of dug in areas
honestly I'll do you one better, curtesy of Path's sanity
@copper ingot Upcoming steam guide sometime in the future
Did ur game crash
yes :(
Join back if u can
error 9999, not letting me rejoin
Ok we’ll restart
thansk, in game i just see ii dont know maybe 3 times when poeple use them and i saw on yt that they suck the most, in early game when i leveled veteran i just throw few too look how it works. now on auric dam guners are just pain in ass
U there?
Its quite literally a "Eat shit gunners" button
but its mainly cause a good chunk of youtubers dont understand how to use smokes effectively
my steam is inoperable
its a support tool also
I’m so pissed off
not raw damage
I’m sorry man
Restart game maybe
I'd say restart your steam app
simple reboot wouldn't hurt I've had to do that at times
Lemme know when ur ready
restarting my entire whole ass WiFi
Dw take ur time
What niche does the MK 1a lasgun fill?
alright i am getting back
thank you for your patience and for your help, sir
Its trying to be the Vigil by being a Dedicated Marksman type rifle but a laser
issue, its old
very old
Np
so its not as good as other options now-a-days
I see
I mainly use the MK XII lasgun
For the raw damage per shot
Its really good on headshots
has not aged well
fires too damn slowly for what it does
basically
pay attention to specialist sound cue
learn to melee fight every enemy in the game on ur own, with minimal use of ability/gun/blitz, and minimal health loss
and try to have a physical route out of tricky situations if u find urself in one (preferably not but u never know)
thank you again
u can practice fighting different enemies with creature spawner mod
also what region are u in
I was lagging so bad
oh prob my wifi being shit then
wilco
thank you so much
u wanna keep playing? or u getting off
k
Its why I use the full auto mod
It makes it actually good
full auto doesn't change its slow ass rate of fire...
if you want a breakpoint ilas, use mk vii
hi!! I haven't played in around half a year, what's changed with vet?
Plasma gun nerfed?
no
awesome
i use the infantry lasgun extensively
should i buy this dark black skin in the shop for it or wait for a new one
well its been fucking ages since its returned even though its not the original
but its based on it
What do we think the odds are the veteran becomes the 3rd or 4th best ranged class on the 23?
I was thinking the same thing too
Probably 4th
has there even been more than 1 lasgun skin
Seeing zealot will always be last in that regards
But I feel its just a Lazy recolor of stock
beyond this one and the other one with the eagle on it
the model has changes
I can see Arbitrator being the even middle ground with reworked and old classes atm
Hmmmm
but it is black and says 110
idk
i dont know who they are
i want this backpack though
i saw it in space marine 2
I forsee the class impacts being like what and this if no Ogryn nerf/nerfs happen
Ogryn > Psyker > Arbitrator > Veteran ≈ Zealot
Cadian Shadow Corps
Shock Troops
So far known for Deployment on Night worlds so the camo is fitting to be dark theme'd
cleave targets
preciate you
oh fuck yeah
i only had to buy like 5 power swords to get the good one
well... good job, you trolled him
power sword's dump stat is cleave target
10.9 vs 11.7 activated cleave means almost nothing
not mobility weird weapon
mobility is normally a safe dump, just in this weapon's case there's a better dump stat
Mobility is usually a safe bet when it comes to dump stats
So if I go Hot-Shot on my Helbore and hit someone in the head does everyone around that enemy take damage?
bro i wish
So how it work?
i dont even remember what hot shot does but i would know if there would be a mechanic like that
killing a guy and then others around it explode - that would be op af
Think sniper rifle. Pierces.
So tight tunnel/corridor is best for it.
Decreases hitmass consumption for everything, backwards
Hotshot 1 makes you cleave like 500% more it’s super fucky
Spaghetti blessing
Broken in every possible way
But headshots already pierce so why do I need cleave on weakspot?
You don’t
The reason you take Hotshot is goofy melee interactions
Like taking hotshot 1 to cleave the world
1? Not 4?
Yep
Hotshot is super fucked
Bad/entirely incorrect description
Reversed values
Always active
Oh.
So hotshot for melee?
It’s mostly a meme
Won't help a knoife, I guess, lmao.
Yeah not really
Even with the extra cleave the damage falloff would still make it useless
So what blessings would be good for helbore?
headshots dont automatically "pierce" aka cleave. its not like a binary thing where a headshot cleaves and a bodyshot doesnt
you have a cleave value on every shot. for each enemy you hit, that value decreases by that enemy's hit mass value
once you have 0 cleave, you stop cleaving and the shot stops at that enemy
now what hotshot does is it reduces the cleave value you lose for every enemy if it is a headshot
and because of spaghetti code the tier 1 blessing of hotshot makes it so you only lose 1/5 of the cleave value you would
so in theory if a lot of heads are exactly lined up, you would cleave through 5 times as many enemys
Neat. I wanna use sustained fire for sure and was debating on weight of fire or hot-shot
May just got weight
OKay another question, I got two shovels. One has 77% damage and the other has 70%. The 77% is Anointed and the 70% is Transcendent and the Transcendent has more overall damage than the Anointed. Is this taking into account the blessings or soemthing in teh loadout screen?
maybe 2 different marks
It would probably take into account the blessings.
Or if all else fails, it's spaghetti code
Lol
just went on a mission as a shooting vet, and got a team that didnt care about me
died to rager and special ambush
darktide 
2.?????
3, profit
they were like 300 and 200 lvls
all died after
i wish FS reworked vet
so shooting tree part was better
outgunning a bunch of gunners 
whats ur build?
the more I try using the vigilant ag the less I like it, really wish it had a reflex sight like the infantry lasgun
if youre not on xbox, mod it on with the customisation mod
Would exe stance be worth it on the infantry las or stick with shout? Haven't used the gun since my levelling days 
designed for you to hit weakspots consistently
just crappy irons with no glowy bits
The Vostroyan Hellbore is so shiny you get flashbanged when using it.
can't stand the hellbore irons either
I had avoided the weapon customization mod up until now because I thought the sights were still bearable and workable and only ever saw people use it to show off the hideous greebled monstrosities they had made but I think it's finally time for me to give the mod a try
one issue i had with the base sights isnt so much that they were hard to use. when i played with helbore for a dozen or so rounds, i hit just as well as with better sights
the problem was i had to get used to the worse sights again every time after using another weapon for a while
yeah I think I'm going through pretty much the same
I go through a cycle of barely if at all using the vigilant ag and hellbore > wanting to try them out for variety's sake > remembering why I don't like them
exe stance is excellent for ILAS
shout is still the meta option though pretty much
the mod places a gun model on my char?? peak
yes, you can even choose where you carry it, like on your hip and such
oh my goodness gracious
i turned that off though, results look silly a lot
aw this is fantastic
What's the dump state on the MkI Sapper Shovel?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but vet in H40 really feels pretty damn weak now
papa willy incoming
Ye i was about to go ballistic on mah man but i’m too old for this shit 
Also i remember you Cherub; long time ago we chatted and could play but didn’t work
You up for that tonight?
H80 when?
I've just been running the standard voc plasma rifle dueling sword build and it's alright still, but yeah I'm noticing it doesn't come as effortless as the other classes now.
I'm gonna pass out here pretty soon, but for sure down for some 40s soon!
I should be back home after 6h or so; will let ya know & show you the power of a vet in havoc 
OnlyBosses.
Several Twin bosses destroy hopes and dreams of strike teams. papa willy somehow still going strong
possibly because @unreal nova is carrying hard
tbf that already happens in havoc pubs as low as 21
people still do NOT know how to fight rinda karnak
Ppl don’t know how to focus on 1 target or have any target priority set depending on the situation they are in
yep
Thats why they lose
the sequel to "Ignore shooters and die" nobody asked for
Yep. Hav pubs have really improved, but that's still true
Thats map dependant; consingment yard is what i like to call a ‚boss gauntlet’ mission
european havoc pubs are worse than they were during 1.0 for me
What about murica?
I don't want to play darktide with 330 ping
Real shit
game's netcode is unstable enough as it is
If you have a smart taunt ogryn and good priority target killers, the threat management is pretty simple. You don't typically see those players below hav 25-30 though
I saw like 3 (or was it 4) havoc forged smykers permasmiting karnak twins on pub havocs and decided I've had enough unless something major drops like a havoc 3.0 or something along those lines
21 is the great havoc filter yeah
Even in 40s you dont see them that often, especially the latter
If you don't have even a basic grasp of things like target priority and boss pulling you're not going to make it
Yeah that's true. Getting good groups often feels luck based

During 1.0 I reached rank 29 then took a break because havoc gave me a sore wrist, came back during 2.0 just to see how far up can I climb with my gun psyker. Stuck on 21 
Is harder now.
Play a bubble purg knife psyker and you'll get 40 fast. That build rips through havoc 40. The damage is nuts.
I really don't enjoy that build sadly, that's the thing
Considering I've already gotten the drip and title rewards from havoc that I wanted before and my own friends also don't want to play havoc I've no real desire or incentive to keep playing, so I'm just playing aurics nowadays
Yeah that's a big problem with the psy meta and I hear ya. Gaze is fun, but you gotta play outside of havoc with it mostly given the necessity of ammo conservation.
Yup, exactly. Even with fast shards I still often struggle with ammo management due to all the bosses that need melting
If I ever change my mind about burga I'll likely give havoc another go, but I dislike havoc being such a loadout check in the first place. Which is a shame because havoc specific mission modifiers are really fun.
Hell, I'd take another staff almost being just as good as purg. The class really is stonewalled meta now.
I still enjoy it enough with knife zipping around everywhere and popping heads (keeps me active), but yeah you're still standing in the corner just burning everything most of the time. You do damn near the same thing with flamer zealot too though tbh.
Indeed.
have you heard of our lord and saviour voidblast / trauma staff?
Trauma is fun and I'll often run it, but if you have one psy def go purg. Both of you can't share the procs off purg though so it's better to get that extra CC via trauma for the walls of bulwarks. The modifiers can make bulwarks invulnerable to CC though which really makes trauma just straight up ass if it happens and if that's your only staff. The modifier just fucks it hard and when you lose the CC - just go for the extra damage and head pop procs via purg (what makes it so strong since it can insta kill and basically deletes ragers as soon as they appear).
H40 is just too meta for the most part honestly esp with pugs. I'm def bored of the meta builds, but it is what it is and they make clearing 40 way easier. Hoping for more variety again after the update and I'm sure I'll be playing the new class exclusively for a while.
do anyone here still use the devils claw knife here
nah i was just wondering. i mostly just use it for wave clear and invincibility with the parry
oh yeah i know
i just end up parrying maulers and ragers and backing off
parry staggers super good on parry
occasionally ill play a round with dclaw just for fun
I can help ya climb mah guy 
Dont use kinetic flayer with purg; you’ll kill someone eventually with it
Very kind of you, I'll lyk if I want to play havoc again
@steep flower I need help with climbing too. Since we failed so many 40's while trying True Survivor 
same here
What are some of the better weapons for veteran
I’ve been rocking the duel sword and plasma gun while levelling but I’m not sure I want to stick with the plasma gun
Power sword VI
Combat axe III
Combat blade VI
Duelling sword IV
Plasma gun
Recon lasgun
Boltgun
Revolver IIa
Boltpistol
Good thing I’ve got the recon lasgun levelled up
What’s a good setup for the power sword
dont listen to this guy
use devils claw frag grenade infantry lasgun
what is carapace armor
out of sight out of mind
Don't listen to anyone really. Advice is advice. Make of it what you want, not what someone tells you to.
carapace + elite
power cycler + brutal momentum
I’m not a fan of the infantry lasgun personally
Ye, just trying to use opinions to figure stuff out somewhat
Exactly.
Especially to gauge what are good blessings and all that stuff
Power cycler allows for the powered swing to hit an additional target right?
I have an Infantry Lasgun with Falter and Headhunter, so i can stagger targets. That's mostly because i am using it on a Zealot and won't really get a lot of additional boni to using such a ranged weapon.
no, u get 2 extra powered attacks
Power Cycler gives extra powered attacks
Even better
I made a horrible terrible mistake
Would be cool if it could work like the relic blade imo
That’s very unfortunate
its level 28 this has been an ongoing issue
i dont want the other dipshits here to see my character named “timoth”
I would rather blow my head smoove off with my bolter
Spare me the suspense
Spare me the suspense
I got no currency, but I'm heaven sent
So spare me the suspense
Just spare me the suspense
Hey Lady Rain, I so hope you try; you're late
Babe, you know it's your time
And I won't let you sit by, so cold in the pitch night, alone
You can't make amends
No, I won't let you sit by so cold in the pitch nigh...
mammoth
I saw a gif of this fucker mewing and i cant unsee it anytime i see him
back at trying to master sniping as a veteran again
helps that the firearms have 0 drop off
just completed the 'one in the chamber' penance
what rifle
infantry lasgun
it's pretty good for it
that gun has reverse falloff
it actually gets stronger the further you are away
(one of the many reasons ilas is ass rn) 
I don't think actual rifles (the bolt action fire off into the distance kinds) exist in Darktide
just like longlas 
Longlas is semi auto
the being bad part
I love slabs but I hate the fact my chances of killing anything are basically 0 if one walks in front of me
my problem is the massive wall of meat blocking my fire
you can shoot through them
No you can't?
Heavy Sword 6
your bullets travel thru allies, if your aim was right thru the ogryn you'll hit the enemy behind them for full dmg
this mod makes your allies transparent when they're close to you
recommend pairing it with this one
ah yes this was the mod
flak unyielding with headtaker and deathblow
pair it with the boltgun or zarona revolver
I like infantry lasgun
y'all are sleeping on infantry lasgun with executioner's stance
thats basically all i use
all you need is a shovel, a good lasgun, and some good talents
it's all a guardsman ever needs
which mark is the go to for helbore
thanks
yeah you can kill one poxxer per swing
I keep dying as veteran though :/
this is likely the culprit
having a basic build?
someone explain to me what the fuck unarmored is for again
infantry lasgun my beloved they could never make me hate you
tbh my build is fine it's just not built for frontlining
people are sleeping executioner's stance in general
plus veterans might as well be built of paper
but tbh im okay with that
piss shout is op and dampens the fun but someone with exe stance and the boltgun killing every special and elite every game would be even less fun
and this is said as someone who really enjoys playing exe stance bolter lol
I do like the infantry lasgun though
i mean ive run a shovel, infantry las, and exe stance build in auric maelstrom and stayed alive, it's a player skill thing
you see
dueling sword piss shout builds are just crutches
it's most of the reason you die in this game
i dont see why youre suggesting i die in this game often, because i dont
im using "you" generally there
shovel has horrible single target damage unless you stagger shit
it's most of the reason one dies in this game
infantry laz in general afaik has shit single target too
though i havent used infantry in awhile
it relies on headshots but it does competent single target dmg
though reading between the lines im assuming you actually mean armor damage
depends on the armor
but again this is what i mean, people don't develop the skill to kite and play around armor as they bring it down because they rely on crutch builds with lightning fast armor ttks
you can absolutely deal with armor with just the shovel, it has uncanny strike even, you just have to be comfortable kiting, dodging, and managing horde
im not gonna develop the skill to hit a crusher 20 times with a build/weapon that has shit single target damage when theres decent builds that are capable of downing single target based enemies
your entire argument from what im hearing is "skill issue"
my arguement is that ive found it a lot more fun to face those challenges and its made me improve orders of magnitude faster than my last 300 hours
and made me realize how much i was relying on crutches that limit your growth
and so yeah dying because you can't insta kill crushers is a bit of a skill issue
playing around armor that doesn't die isntantly is a skill you can learn, and it makes the game more fun
soyjack dueling sword malice runner vs. chad tacaxe havoc 40 runner
dying because you can't kill the metal covered massive abhumans that are canonically as durable as orks without armor
is a skill issue?
yeah i just had a ton of fun last night in havoc 40 using the heavy sword 6 on veteran for the first time
Can just dueling sword H40 though, though am going back to knoife anyway. WS DS is funni though.
ive been pretty lucky actually, only last night did i get a dueling sword in my lobby for the first time since i started playing again
and i didnt even need to see it in their hands to know what they were using
such a stupid weapon
man veteran is ass I'm going back to ogryn :/
you chose to play off meta builds
Sadly. Vet just needs buffs tbh.
except you now make off-meta builds that are bad
this is what im hearing from you man
if you think shovel + bolter with exe stance is bad then i can't help you
shovel is the most based weapon in the game
bolter shreds single target and elites without exe stance hello??
Been trying Out the left tree Veteran again, but feeling real squishy in melee
Wonder If middle or right tree is Just superoir?
are you taking the left nodes at the top, too
because that would be a big mistake
run middle, use this, dump cleave, only use powered version for everything
youll do fine
I do fine only that left tree build i struggle with much
Was only trying it Out after a long time
if youre used to pathing through voc thats normal
you get used to having insta-replenish toughness ability
i only pathway through it now but ive played all the classes quite a bit so
which variant
mk4
Sorry to butt in, but the most fun I've had recently is using goofy vet guilds for havic
not useful
Like taxe agri combat shotgun with smokes
gonna just run elites since i dont think anything direct hits any breakpoints from some testing
maniac + carapace for mk4 helbore
thats fine but dude i see so many people go down 2 pathways
K
they either stick on the "use meta only", go down "get better skill wise but dont learn how to make proper builds" or "get better skill wise and learn how to make proper builds"
what i just saw is the first path
then i dont really understand why you decided to butt in to begin with
helbore 4? kinda
Talking to awuga
do u like waiting?
has good carapace damage
Oops
yea u want crit headshot with pretty dedicated ranged spec to make it 1 tap crusher
it takes some setup
ranged carapace dmg in general is not that great
which one do you go with then?
have u considered melee carapace dmg?
using the helbore for melee on carapace? hold on
oh
so that u don't need ur ranged to do carapace dmg
im using the chainsword which can do okay single target, but im making a build generally with guns i havent used in awhile
I prefer blasting crushers at point blank range
updates: i fuck with plasma again
unarmored definitely best but i think i just had to get used to it again, plus i think my teammates were better today
well, both is good enough
just wish tehre would be a way to get what you want
outside of gamba
but I feel naked without my 25m
if im not going to use surgical on the helbore whats another option besides infernus
im hitting breakpoints with this build without surgical so atp i just need to find a nice comfort alternative for it
What are you going to use if not surgical
thats why im asking...?
maybe falter...?
gotta test that before i try it
just take surgical
then WoF / hotshot prob
gonna go with falter because it staggers reapers
Guys how can I stop sucking?
Keep your toughness up
especially enemys
You’d get a lot more out of Surgical + Falter mainly cause crits hit hard on Helbys, that and Shocktrooper if you’re running that
mapping and spawning is only more of a requirement in aurics or havoc
I have a few vet videos on the hardest difficulty
Havoc 40 Quad Vet Smokes. Home Made Vent Purge, Loyalist Friendly
yeah infernus is actually kinda useless here too
Nice man
ill run surgical and falter because why not
im 2tapping every enemy with what the helbore is for
You don’t get enough Value from it like Laspistol and Recon do
Mainly why I don’t suggest Infernus on it
Outside of when Pus Hardened exists
well this isnt a havoc build so 
More like thank god they took it outback and killed it
That's the thing tho. I like long range and the class is made for long range players, right? Should I invest in perks that improve my toughness while using a gun?
Miserable modifier lmao
I love my trusty lasgun
blight:
Oh uh
Vet hasn't been the ranged class for a while now
veteran is not made for long range players
honestly i fucking hate blight so much
He's currently a melee/ranged hybrid
yeah vet has strayed from the path
Oh got it
thge only ranged based class isnt made for long range
how ironic
You have to constantly reposition with Blight
ogryn and psyker do ranged better lul
Long Range class would be Psyker
veteran is not ranged based class either
I’m not saying Ogryn cause they do everyone’s job better
hasn't been since patch 13
How df Ogrynis better than a literal soldier dude 😭
???
zealot isnt
ogryn isnt
yea
Recent rework
psyker is
actually it kinda makes sense if i think about it...?
veteran needs a partial rework imo
its funny seeing new players realize that psyker and ogryn do ranged better then vet
actually it's just entirely true
psyker is the ranged class
Its a nuclear level truth nuke
its unfortunate but its true
Doesn't make me stop maining Veteran
i knew pysker and ogyn did better but i didnt really think of pysker as a ranged class
but Im hoping they do anything in the future
I scratched radar charts and description paragraphs in guide btw
i guess i was kinda just stereotyping every class (veteran ranged pysker magic ogryn tank zealot melee)
You know whats funny
I showed my friend some of that to give him a rundown on what the Vet guide coming out looks like
he said in his opinion
Can I discuss anything related to veteran class here?
that part was fluff
it's now replaced with smth significantly more minimalistic
and not really needed
no this is general chat but with image perms
like every other class chat
yes you can
Alright ty
this is vet chat, go for it
(obviously im joking)
also, the real meat (TBA)
Veteran and Psyker are technically "Pick" classes being revolved around focusing HPT's
Just got mained vet as a newbie so I was looking for a good special killer weapon
fair critique
Especially one that can penetrate carapace armour
unless you dont have anyone doing horde clear
power sword VI
Power Sword VI
technically Rashad if you plan to stay away from Havoc
Rashad III Combat Axe
i was about to say rashad yeah
uh
uhhh
Bolter, Plasma
bolter fuck it
u start by not thinking about that tbh
Technically if you really want to suffer Helbore
boltgun is like the only one actually good at doing that
plasma can too
or revolver
is it really? one moment
I mean yeah with a certain build
oh wait
but uh
meme build ig
By the way what exactly does laspistol specialize against?
Revolver in Havoc obviously isn't the best
4 shots if you dont charge yeah
honestly when you think about it in general
if you charge it a little it can 2 shot
asking about which enmies its good agaisnt or its role?
this
🙏
12 ammo begone, not worth
the humble survalist:
Basically if its a: Flamer, Rager, Trapper
You will not do much damage against them
thats it
better crit dmg, far worse ammo econ
the worst ammo sustain in the game
recon is worse crit dmg
I m still trying to make my 2 weapons cover their weakness and its a damn hard job
yes
is what I said yea, laspistol has better crit dmg but far worse ammo econ than 6c
also atp youre kinda just nitpicking (no offense). theres only so much you can really do with builds as theres not alot of carapace ranged options in general
(Can't leave emojis so bear with me)👍
and for a good reason
range should not deal with cara
Just keep talking you'll get a red role and you'll be able to send images and react to things
true
yea why do u think the only answer I gave was boltgun
Gotta grind
it's the only one actually sorta good at it and worth using in that role
Its sadly true nitpicking, mainly just shows off a lot of human arsenal weapons need tweaks
everything else not rly worth
It shouldn't? Cuz sometimes enemies like maulers skip the frontline and come to me
It doesn't take long, basically just casually have conversations or discussions with people
talking about this in a balance viewpoint

Balance?
the idea of weapons having a weakness become irrevelant with ogryn rework
also generally speaking (and yes i know this is kinda a skill issue argument) but youre still gonna consume probably 5-6 bullets killing a crusher with bolter
If a carapace change were to ever happen I'd only pray they would slightly tone down the wall of carapace enemies
Except for maybe maulers
cause their chests exist for a reason
Flak Armored baby, easy damage
3
OI man; I'm home; can play
and show ya da vet
okay yeah if you can drop it down to 3 bolter is better option
This coming from like non-ADS or ADSing
exe stance
Cause pinning fire + surgical can drop them extremely quick on Vet
doesn't rly matter it's just 3 shots
What recommendations you can give to use with devil's claw sword as ranged weap?(trust level 9)
zarona 2a revolver
never used devil claw
Heavy sword but worse
DC?
so basically: dont use it
Dont have a Stagger tool, you have a parry
but plays exactly like Heavy Sword
I mean I suppose?
I don't think I have it but gotta look
its fun but hard lmao
Devil's claw is the same with heavy?
better yet just drop devil's claw if u don't fancy taking ages to kill flak armor
Light Heavy loops usually moveset wise and general play
DC is for sweatlords who mistake high skill ceiling with bad weapons
they're both weak against armor
very similar moveset and weaknesses, just a lot worse in the weakness part but it has a parry gimmick
Actually I dont like that but I don't have any decent melee weapons except that, when I get ganked or face to face with an elite or melee unit I can parry and fast attack rate is good for now
This is why I love VT
super armor is managable with certain weapons and builds
wasnt spammed as much outside of chaos pats
Yeah thats what I noticed though I mean
So you remonned heavy sword?
Cata CW patrols
very fun
I just more so pray if it does happen (it most likely wont cause the playerbase likes rending)
they just tone crushers spawn rates down
and boom its fine
Im absolutely fine with Mauler spam cause you just
idk
Shoot them in the chest
lmao
honestly
I would recommend learning power sword VI as early as possible then u can brand out for the more fun but less optimal stuff if u want
uhhhh
Content fo today or no content fo today
idk if that locks you out of doing stuff
I need a horde cleaner in my melee slot, is power sword for armor or horde?
everything
All
Oh
its a very stupid melee
Sounds nice
your only weakness is not great Mobility
and by not great
he means absolutely fuckin garbage
nah
Basically
Hmmmm
-12% dodge distance
but when you learn it, its really easy to pick up
it's not the worst mobility in the game
How about chainswords?
u REALLY should verify stuff before u say them
The fuck were they thinking with Chainaxes
because that is not true
Infantry lasguns of melee
powercrept into oblivion
can't verify stuff while I'm ingame, but they are within a few % mobility wise
they both suck
lol
Don't get what you mean
everything is
its just everything does its job
bottom line is, PS mobility will definitely get you killed on havoc every now and than
but you gain infinite power in return
same with Inf Lasguns
yeah its playable but the other options do it better
they need tweaks
its sad
You mean its broken so dont use it?
Not really no, they just haven't been buffed or changed in like YEARS
so they're old
and thus cause they're old
they're bad
Hm
they couldn't keep up with the new Formula DT Dished out now
Back in the day though they were really solid choices
Until I get power sword what can I use for horde cleaning?
Darktide
no they are not lol
Oh I finally understand that sentence
This language is so hard to understand at times
lowest mobility melee in the game is force greatsword
power sword is lowest for veteran but not lowest overall
It probably feels worse cause Veteran has huge stamina issues
no, just placebo
But I mean you can manage it with the -.25 Stam Delay nodes, or Focus Target with Target Down. I mainly use the Ladder if im having stam issues on any build
dodge properties are not related to stamina
the only effect is dodging pauses stamina regen like every other stamina consuming action
^ thats the main reason im bringing it up
gale do u wanna read code and do stagger charts 
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
no
Yeah I probably should later to throw myself into the fire
it's a lot better than hand testing stagger breakpoints
@tall torrent hold on a second, did they buff chainaxe mobility?
dodge distance used to be -12%, not -2%
yea
ur like
figures

not an avid chainaxe enjoyer indeed
tried it once on zealot into rampage moebians
bad idea

it is
So is using a Combat Shotgun. Might still work out in the correct circumstances.
whats from with Cshotgun?
it is but i wish it could be better
what
I wouldnt mind a bit tighter spread and better dmg fall off
its the animations that hold it back really
it already can 2 shot snipers 100 meters away
1 shot if its damnation & you have WS with flechette (which you should have)
A shotgun sniping targets 100 meters away. It sounds so wrong.
End event at Consignment Yard?
@faint beacon
speaking of chaos pat
also this is heavy sword in VT
mk9 without the overhead
or mk1 Dclaw actually
its a giant 2he heavy sword lel
yo i remember that there was this cheese on the devil's claw sword where if you blocked then parried a crusher overhead you could one-shot the crusher
did that get patched?
never worked like that
not cheese
