Pls explain 🤔

runic jackal
#

no

orchid hemlock
#

Understandable

#

Have a nice day

crude star
#

are smokes alright without the extra duration?

narrow frost
#

yup

#

they are fine

#

since you get the back really fast

tame lodge
#

Yeah 15s is enough

#

30 is very comfy

severe jolt
#

smokes are underrated
and misunderstood

crude star
#

i haven't done super hard stuff yet, but i already like 'em

hollow ibex
#

frags are going to be better outside of havoc

nimble wadi
tame lodge
#

What is Higui

loud belfry
#

higuirashi

fringe meteor
#

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 ?

narrow frost
narrow frost
#

a good default vet build to try to build for

jaunty tinsel
#

i think technically shredder is better than krak at the high levels but that might also be outdated info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

narrow frost
#

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

jaunty tinsel
#

yeah i more mean at like havoc

fringe meteor
#

Ive been playing with Krak a bunch and it seems giga OP

narrow frost
#

Really good

slow spade
#

krak is good but most teams don't lack anti-ogryn stuff

fringe meteor
#

Like you deal 20-30% of a Boss HP

jaunty tinsel
#

krak is amazing, eventually it falls off but thats at the super sweaty difficulties

slow spade
#

also krak scales off your Ranged damage buffs

#

so you can get the Ogryn damage talent to do more boss damage and stuff

narrow frost
#

but I see your view

fringe meteor
loud belfry
#

havoc makes everything slightly fall off

#

kinda cringe really

narrow frost
#

with the density frags get more horde clear value

jaunty tinsel
slow spade
# fringe meteor WHAT

yeah stuff like Agile Engagement, Focus Target, Bigger They Are, etc buff Krak damage

jaunty tinsel
#

and therefore is inferior

fringe meteor
#

I am in that phase where im just trying every weapon to get a feeling

narrow frost
#

but kraks with gurenteed boss stagger and bulwarks 1shots is still high value

narrow frost
#

while leveling

#

it took me around 1500 hours to find my fav weapon

slow spade
#

Kill Zone seems to work with Krak but I never tested

nimble wadi
narrow frost
#

and i am still using it 1500 hours later

fringe meteor
#

So far,Autoguns seem a bit like meme peashooters

jaunty tinsel
#

getting mastery by playing every gun only to go back to my old beloved recon

fringe meteor
#

or maybe im not using them properly

slow spade
slow spade
#

except patch 13 which giga-nerfed the power sword

nimble wadi
tame lodge
slow spade
#

the best overall autogun

nimble wadi
pseudo fiber
#

I love the Mk1 shovel and I will love the mk1 shovel forever

jaunty tinsel
slow spade
#

yeah the ammo efficiency from Shocktrooper is too good

fringe meteor
#

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

slow spade
fringe meteor
#

So far ive had bad luck with drops when it comes to a decent power sword

slow spade
#

Power Sword's Push attack can 2 hit kill ogryns

fringe meteor
#

Curently using a decent Combat Axe

slow spade
#

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

fringe meteor
#

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

narrow frost
#

want to see shotguns in the highest difficulty?

fringe meteor
#

that could be cool

narrow frost
#

I did a challenge run

#

hardest diffiuclty

#

4 vets

#

we all had smoke grenades

#

and I was using power sword double barrel

fringe meteor
#

Damn,power sword really seems nutty

hollow ibex
#

it's just the best vet melee

#

thats all

narrow frost
#

strongest melee weapon in higher difficulty

fringe meteor
#

Does the vet get a chainsword ?

hollow ibex
#

yes but chain weapons generally aren't that good rn

narrow frost
#

yup

#

chain sword and axe

#

zealot gets the 2 handed chainsword as well

crisp wraith
#

Who could have guessed that the sword that can cut through almost anything would be the strongest?

hollow ibex
#

relic blade? yeah

tepid otter
narrow frost
#

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

tepid otter
#

Huh, neato, didnt know push attacks were a thing kekw

slow spade
#

so a combat axe can bully ragers

hollow ibex
#

really useful on a lot of weapons tbh

tepid otter
#

Need to start using it more often now

hollow ibex
#

it really depends, on some weapons PAs don't do much

faint beacon
#

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

spark canopy
#

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.

narrow frost
#

mutant

spark canopy
#

eight motherfucking ragers.

narrow frost
#

F

spark canopy
#

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

faint beacon
#

Justified Crashout

spark canopy
#

best fucking thing

#

is that

faint beacon
#

im ngl thats probably when you're still not used to how vet plays the most fucking miserable penance to do

spark canopy
#

a fucking VOICE OF COMMAND

#

didn't work

#

i YELLED at these ragers

#

and they're just like "oh you fucking idiot"

faint beacon
#

You could try that, or play the most fucking scummy infil build possible

spark canopy
#

i'm only a level 13

faint beacon
#

Oh yeah honestly at that point

#

level up

#

Veteran doesn't become insane till later

#

easily till like 25-30

spark canopy
#

i feel like that's with a lot of classes

#

except ogryn

hearty panther
#

you're level 13 and you're trying to complete an achievement that involves playing a perfect game

spark canopy
#

ogryn's busted fucking broken from like level 3

faint beacon
#

Its

spark canopy
#

impossibly high some may say

faint beacon
#

mainly cause a lot of Veteran's real juicy talents

#

minus Agile Engage

hearty panther
#

i wouldnt really care but if that's how you react to failure i wonder what your issue is. and i do.

faint beacon
#

are at the bottom

spark canopy
#

it was eight fucking ragers

#

spawning at once

hearty panther
#

thats like

#

nothing lmao

tall torrent
spark canopy
#

"nothing lmao"

#

i'm playing on malice

hearty panther
#

yeah, i know

#

8 malice ragers

tall torrent
#

U can cheese that penance

#

Just

#

Jump off the map

hearty panther
#

yeah there's a very easy cheese for it

tall torrent
#

And I’ll go through level

#

Do u want help

spark canopy
#

that would be nice.

tall torrent
#

Alr I’ll get on

spark canopy
#

oh if you have to get on i won't bother you for it

tall torrent
#

It’s just 1 game it’s fast

faint beacon
#

its also Malice

#

he'll blitz through it

spark canopy
#

it's happened twice so far

copper ingot
faint beacon
#

Thats unusual cause I tend to have VOC do the opposite and hit them through walls

#

usually

spark canopy
hearty panther
#

it staggers shit i dont even know exists

tall torrent
faint beacon
spark canopy
#

neat.

faint beacon
#

less a kill everything more a "Instant Cover" button

hearty panther
#

and by instant of course we mean two-three business days while the fuse ticks down

copper ingot
#

soo they are not that bad as people talk about them

hearty panther
#

they arent flashy

torn depot
#

Gunner build veteran feels like it needs a buff

faint beacon
#

People tend to forget another thing

pseudo fiber
faint beacon
#

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

tall torrent

#

yes :(

its a support tool also

I’m so pissed off

faint beacon
#

not raw damage

spark canopy
#

I’m sorry man

What niche does the MK 1a lasgun fill?

spark canopy
#

thank you for your patience and for your help, sir

faint beacon
#

issue, its old

#

very old

faint beacon
#

so its not as good as other options now-a-days

torn depot
#

I see

#

I mainly use the MK XII lasgun

#

For the raw damage per shot

#

Its really good on headshots

hollow ibex
#

fires too damn slowly for what it does

tall torrent
# spark canopy thank you for your patience and for your help, sir

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)

tall torrent
#

also what region are u in

#

I was lagging so bad

spark canopy
#

PST

#

so, US West

It makes it actually good

hollow ibex

full auto doesn't change its slow ass rate of fire...

#

if you want a breakpoint ilas, use mk vii

dusty nacelle
#

hi!! I haven't played in around half a year, what's changed with vet?

#

Plasma gun nerfed?

tall torrent
dusty nacelle
#

awesome

tame lodge
#

In fact

#

Buffed

sleek garden
#

i use the infantry lasgun extensively

#

should i buy this dark black skin in the shop for it or wait for a new one

faint beacon
#

but its based on it

gilded wraith
#

What do we think the odds are the veteran becomes the 3rd or 4th best ranged class on the 23?

torn depot
faint beacon
#

Probably 4th

sleek garden
#

has there even been more than 1 lasgun skin

faint beacon
#

Seeing zealot will always be last in that regards

torn depot
#

But I feel its just a Lazy recolor of stock

sleek garden
#

beyond this one and the other one with the eagle on it

sleek garden
faint beacon
#

I can see Arbitrator being the even middle ground with reworked and old classes atm

sleek garden
#

the handle is quilted and the stock is unique

#

and a bit of the muzzle is cut

torn depot
#

Hmmmm

sleek garden
#

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

faint beacon
#

I forsee the class impacts being like what and this if no Ogryn nerf/nerfs happen

Ogryn > Psyker > Arbitrator > Veteran ≈ Zealot

faint beacon
#

Cadian Shadow Corps

#

Shock Troops

#

So far known for Deployment on Night worlds so the camo is fitting to be dark theme'd

torn depot
#

Hmmm

#

I do use lasgun a lot

spark canopy
#

hey hey hey

#

what would the dump stat for the power sword be

short sinew
#

cleave targets

spark canopy
#

preciate you

#

oh fuck yeah

#

i only had to buy like 5 power swords to get the good one

copper ingot
#

well... good job, you trolled him

tall torrent
#

10.9 vs 11.7 activated cleave means almost nothing

copper ingot
#

not mobility weird weapon

tall torrent
#

mobility is normally a safe dump, just in this weapon's case there's a better dump stat

short sinew
#

i would never spread misinformation

hasty grove
#

The best dump stat of all is whatever stat you personally enjoy most in ur weapon

dry cloak
#

Mobility is usually a safe bet when it comes to dump stats

long dove
#

So if I go Hot-Shot on my Helbore and hit someone in the head does everyone around that enemy take damage?

pallid jetty
#

bro i wish

long dove
#

So how it work?

pallid jetty
#

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

unreal nova
#

So tight tunnel/corridor is best for it.

austere mica
#

Hotshot 1 makes you cleave like 500% more it’s super fucky

#

Spaghetti blessing

#

Broken in every possible way

pallid jetty
#

good i guess

#

if only helbore was fun to use

long dove
austere mica
#

You don’t

#

The reason you take Hotshot is goofy melee interactions

#

Like taking hotshot 1 to cleave the world

unreal nova
austere mica
#

Yep

#

Hotshot is super fucked

#

Bad/entirely incorrect description
Reversed values
Always active

unreal nova
#

Oh.

long dove
#

So hotshot for melee?

austere mica
#

It’s mostly a meme

unreal nova
austere mica
#

Yeah not really

#

Even with the extra cleave the damage falloff would still make it useless

long dove
#

So what blessings would be good for helbore?

grand perch
#

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

long dove
#

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?

dry cloak
#

maybe 2 different marks

long dove
#

Same mark

#

So im confused

sudden cedar
#

It would probably take into account the blessings.

#

Or if all else fails, it's spaghetti code

long dove
#

Lol

pallid jetty
#

just went on a mission as a shooting vet, and got a team that didnt care about me

#

#

the more I try using the vigilant ag the less I like it, really wish it had a reflex sight like the infantry lasgun

grand perch
#

if youre not on xbox, mod it on with the customisation mod

native ocean
#

I suppose I will...

#

this one in particular is just ugh

normal bay
#

Would exe stance be worth it on the infantry las or stick with shout? Haven't used the gun since my levelling days KEKW_ogryn

native ocean
#

designed for you to hit weakspots consistently
just crappy irons with no glowy bits

sudden cedar
#

The Vostroyan Hellbore is so shiny you get flashbanged when using it.

native ocean
#

can't stand the hellbore irons either

grand perch
native ocean
#

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

grand perch
#

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

native ocean
#

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

grand perch
#

shout is still the meta option though pretty much

native ocean
#

the mod places a gun model on my char?? peak

grand perch
#

yes, you can even choose where you carry it, like on your hip and such

native ocean
#

oh my goodness gracious

i turned that off though, results look silly a lot

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

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 KEKW_ogryn

#

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

#

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.

Indeed.

# grand perch 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.

#

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

umbral radish
#

I do like the infantry lasgun though

magic aurora
# supple laurel has bad build:

i mean ive run a shovel, infantry las, and exe stance build in auric maelstrom and stayed alive, it's a player skill thing

supple laurel
#

you see

magic aurora
#

dueling sword piss shout builds are just crutches

supple laurel
#

i hate when people use the "get better" or "skill issue" reason

#

because its not

magic aurora
#

it's most of the reason you die in this game

supple laurel
#

i dont see why youre suggesting i die in this game often, because i dont

magic aurora
#

im using "you" generally there

supple laurel
#

shovel has horrible single target damage unless you stagger shit

magic aurora
#

it's most of the reason one dies in this game

supple laurel
#

infantry laz in general afaik has shit single target too

#

though i havent used infantry in awhile

magic aurora
#

it relies on headshots but it does competent single target dmg

#

though reading between the lines im assuming you actually mean armor damage

supple laurel
#

???

#

can it kill single target fast or not

#

thats all the matters

magic aurora
#

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

supple laurel
#

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"

magic aurora
#

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

hearty panther
#

soyjack dueling sword malice runner vs. chad tacaxe havoc 40 runner

umbral radish
#

dying because you can't kill the metal covered massive abhumans that are canonically as durable as orks without armor

#

is a skill issue?

magic aurora

hearty panther
#

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

umbral radish
#

man veteran is ass I'm going back to ogryn :/

supple laurel
unreal nova
supple laurel
#

except you now make off-meta builds that are bad

#

this is what im hearing from you man

magic aurora
#

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

supple laurel
#

bolter shreds single target and elites without exe stance hello??

swift narwhal
#

Been trying Out the left tree Veteran again, but feeling real squishy in melee

#

Wonder If middle or right tree is Just superoir?

hearty panther
#

are you taking the left nodes at the top, too

#

because that would be a big mistake

supple laurel
#

youll do fine

swift narwhal
#

I do fine only that left tree build i struggle with much

#

Was only trying it Out after a long time

supple laurel

you get used to having insta-replenish toughness ability

supple laurel

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

Not what I was talking about but go off

then i dont really understand why you decided to butt in to begin with

Talking to awuga

do u like waiting?

supple laurel

#

Oops

tall torrent
#

it takes some setup

#

ranged carapace dmg in general is not that great

supple laurel
#

which one do you go with then?

tall torrent
supple laurel
#

using the helbore for melee on carapace? hold on

tall torrent
#

no no

#

bringing a melee weapon that is good vs carapace

supple laurel
#

oh

tall torrent
#

so that u don't need ur ranged to do carapace dmg

supple laurel
#

im using the chainsword which can do okay single target, but im making a build generally with guns i havent used in awhile

hollow ibex
#

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

neon current

i just stopped caring and decided to use it

neon current

well, both is good enough

just wish tehre would be a way to get what you want

yeah i have 263K

neon current

managed to cap melk the other week

apparently its 500k

tall torrent
#

it's fine

supple laurel
#

im hitting breakpoints with this build without surgical so atp i just need to find a nice comfort alternative for it

hollow ibex
supple laurel
#

maybe falter...?

#

gotta test that before i try it

tall torrent
#

then WoF / hotshot prob

supple laurel
#

gonna go with falter because it staggers reapers

Guys how can I stop sucking?

#

Keep your toughness up

narrow frost
#

practice and learning

#

1st main thing is knowing the map/spawning and the enemies

supple laurel
#

especially enemys

faint beacon
narrow frost
#

if you want its usually best to watch someone better then you

#

and see what they do

supple laurel
#

mapping and spawning is only more of a requirement in aurics or havoc

narrow frost
#

I have a few vet videos on the hardest difficulty

supple laurel
wooden shard
supple laurel
#

ill run surgical and falter because why not

narrow frost
#

but keep trying and learning

#

the best advice

#

dont give up

supple laurel
#

im 2tapping every enemy with what the helbore is for

faint beacon
#

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

supple laurel
#

well this isnt a havoc build so firShrug

faint beacon
#

More like thank god they took it outback and killed it

wooden shard
# tame lodge Keep your toughness up

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?

faint beacon
#

Miserable modifier lmao

I love my trusty lasgun

He's currently a melee/ranged hybrid

hearty panther

yeah vet has strayed from the path

wooden shard

Oh got it

supple laurel
#

how ironic

faint beacon
#

You have to constantly reposition with Blight

hearty panther
#

ogryn and psyker do ranged better lul

faint beacon
#

Long Range class would be Psyker

tall torrent
faint beacon
#

I’m not saying Ogryn cause they do everyone’s job better

hasn't been since patch 13

But I'll keep that in mind fellers

Veteran hasn’t been touched since 2023

That’s why

supple laurel
supple laurel
narrow frost
#

its funny seeing new players realize that psyker and ogryn do ranged better then vet

tall torrent
#

psyker is the ranged class

faint beacon
#

its unfortunate but its true

#

Doesn't make me stop maining Veteran

supple laurel
faint beacon
#

but Im hoping they do anything in the future

tall torrent
supple laurel
#

i guess i was kinda just stereotyping every class (veteran ranged pysker magic ogryn tank zealot melee)

faint beacon
#

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

muted peak
#

Can I discuss anything related to veteran class here?

faint beacon
#

that part was fluff

tall torrent

and not really needed

supple laurel

like every other class chat

Alright ty

Just got mained vet as a newbie so I was looking for a good special killer weapon

faint beacon
#

Aka horde happens but specials are in play

#

you kill the specials

tall torrent
muted peak
#

Especially one that can penetrate carapace armour

faint beacon
#

unless you dont have anyone doing horde clear

tall torrent
faint beacon
#

technically Rashad if you plan to stay away from Havoc

#

Rashad III Combat Axe

supple laurel
#

i was about to say rashad yeah

muted peak
#

Oh forgot to specify

#

A ranged weap

tall torrent
#

uh

supple laurel
#

uhhh

faint beacon
#

Bolter, Plasma

supple laurel
#

bolter fuck it

tall torrent
#

u start by not thinking about that tbh

faint beacon
#

Technically if you really want to suffer Helbore

tall torrent
#

boltgun is like the only one actually good at doing that

muted peak
#

Why cant I leave emojis damn

#

Anyways ty

supple laurel
tall torrent
#

not worth

#

4 shots to kill a crusher

supple laurel
supple laurel

I mean yeah with a certain build

oh wait

faint beacon

but uh

tall torrent

#

By the way what exactly does laspistol specialize against?

faint beacon
#

Revolver in Havoc obviously isn't the best

supple laurel
faint beacon
#

honestly when you think about it in general

supple laurel
#

if you charge it a little it can 2 shot

narrow frost
narrow frost
#

this

muted peak
#

🙏

tall torrent
neon current
#

nothing

#

laspistol is a worse 6c recon

supple laurel
faint beacon
# muted peak 🙏

Basically if its a: Flamer, Rager, Trapper

You will not do much damage against them

#

thats it

neon current

better crit dmg, far worse ammo econ

the idea of weapons having a weakness become irrevelant with ogryn rework

supple laurel

Except for maybe maulers

cause their chests exist for a reason

#

Flak Armored baby, easy damage

steep flower
#

and show ya da vet

supple laurel
faint beacon

#

exe stance

faint beacon

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)

supple laurel
#

never used devil claw

neon current
#

throw DC into a dumpster fire on vet

#

dogshit melee

faint beacon

#

DC?

supple laurel
faint beacon
#

Dont have a Stagger tool, you have a parry

#

but plays exactly like Heavy Sword

#

I mean I suppose?

muted peak
faint beacon
#

its fun but hard lmao

muted peak
tall torrent
muted peak
#

Like playwise?

#

Or moveset

faint beacon
#

Light Heavy loops usually moveset wise and general play

neon current
#

DC is for sweatlords who mistake high skill ceiling with bad weapons

faint beacon
#

they're both weak against armor

tall torrent
faint beacon
#

unless its Heavy Sword

#

Heavy actually has Flak damage

muted peak
narrow frost
#

super armor is managable with certain weapons and builds

#

wasnt spammed as much outside of chaos pats

faint beacon
#

Yeah thats what I noticed though I mean

faint beacon
#

Cata CW patrols

narrow frost
#

very fun

faint beacon
#

thats fucking STUPID

#

LMAO

narrow frost
#

I think its 12-16 Cwarriors

#

I enjoy it

faint beacon
#

I just more so pray if it does happen (it most likely wont cause the playerbase likes rending)

narrow frost
#

remove rending

#

and tone down carapace

faint beacon
#

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

tall torrent
narrow frost
#

also gale, should I upload my havoc 40 duo today?

#

or leave it for later

faint beacon
#

uhhhh

#

Content fo today or no content fo today

#

idk if that locks you out of doing stuff

muted peak
narrow frost
#

doesnt

#

my mindset rn is post what I want

muted peak
#

Oh

faint beacon
#

its a very stupid melee

muted peak
#

Sounds nice

faint beacon
#

your only weakness is not great Mobility

neon current
#

and by not great

tall torrent
neon current
#

he means absolutely fuckin garbage

tall torrent
#

nah

faint beacon
#

Basically

muted peak
#

Hmmmm

neon current
#

-12% dodge distance

faint beacon
#

but when you learn it, its really easy to pick up

tall torrent
#

it's not the worst mobility in the game

neon current
#

yea chainaxes are worse lel

#

as far as human melees go, they are top 3

muted peak
#

How about chainswords?

tall torrent
faint beacon
#

The fuck were they thinking with Chainaxes

tall torrent
#

because that is not true

faint beacon
#

powercrept into oblivion

neon current
neon current
#

they both suck

narrow frost
#

lol

muted peak
#

Don't get what you mean

faint beacon
#

Thats the funny thing Chainsword is still

#

playable

narrow frost
#

everything is

faint beacon
#

its just everything does its job

neon current
#

bottom line is, PS mobility will definitely get you killed on havoc every now and than

faint beacon
#

so much better

#

thats why its recommended not to usually use it

neon current
#

but you gain infinite power in return

faint beacon
#

same with Inf Lasguns

#

yeah its playable but the other options do it better

#

they need tweaks

#

its sad

muted peak
#

You mean its broken so dont use it?

neon current
#

PS is not playable

#

PS is really fuckin good

#

but it will get oyu killed still

faint beacon
#

so they're old

#

and thus cause they're old

#

they're bad

muted peak
#

Hm

faint beacon
#

they couldn't keep up with the new Formula DT Dished out now

#

Back in the day though they were really solid choices

muted peak
#

Until I get power sword what can I use for horde cleaning?

faint beacon
#

Darktide

muted peak
#

Oh I finally understand that sentence

#

This language is so hard to understand at times

tall torrent
#

lowest mobility melee in the game is force greatsword

#

power sword is lowest for veteran but not lowest overall

faint beacon
#

It probably feels worse cause Veteran has huge stamina issues

tall torrent
#

no, just placebo

faint beacon
#

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

tall torrent
#

dodge properties are not related to stamina

#

the only effect is dodging pauses stamina regen like every other stamina consuming action

faint beacon
#

^ thats the main reason im bringing it up

tall torrent
#

gale do u wanna read code and do stagger charts chadgryn

faint beacon
#

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

narrow frost
#

no

faint beacon
#

Yeah I probably should later to throw myself into the fire

tall torrent
#

it's a lot better than hand testing stagger breakpoints

neon current
#

@tall torrent hold on a second, did they buff chainaxe mobility?

#

dodge distance used to be -12%, not -2%

neon current
#

figures

tall torrent
#

a few months late

to this information

I wouldnt mind a bit tighter spread and better dmg fall off

but yea

#

the screenshake is the biggest offender

narrow frost
#

it already can 2 shot snipers 100 meters away

you not shooting a fuckin BFG

not cheese
