you just parry them
you have 3s to parry after you ulti

but like I said, the idea of weapons having a weakness went right outta window with ogryn rework
where even the worst dmg weapon have 60% base carapace pen
and is literally the meta, cuz ogryn just does too much fuckin dmg with zero effort required
This is why we're calling for a mass ogryn nerf
While being fucking invincible 
ill still see ogryns drop in regular Damnation though which is funny
sry was me
nah man rumbler + PBB ogryn is balanced
is it me, or did they break the power sword "buff"
where it doesn't lose charge if you get hit
@loud belfry ur so mean

Does the crit damage perk on recon laz make any noticeable difference
nah
definitely not
It doesn't on any weapon
It's badly calculated
👍🏻
what is duelling sword used for?
Fair and balanced as all classes should be
poking thingies
not helpful
Highest mobility melee weapon with insane single target damage
Going to get nerfed soon
dueling sword is a toothpick
so its for single killing?
trust me UwU
official or predicting?
Yes, but it has safe horde clearing
x to doubt 😠
4.5 cleave on those lights
this is why Im using Focus Target the most now
i just slap stamina regen on my curios and generally speaking i do fine
Mainly this but Riderect if im feeling special today
Im using Taxe 7 so I'll take any and all Stamina increases
mah man knows
Taxe 7 is good on Veteran but Psyker and Zealot make it better
so it feels "Weak"
its incredibly fun so im not gonna drop it
took me a while to vibe with the 7
didnt help it was borked for a while
with the anims or w/e
@narrow frost The build you recommended is popping off hard so far,thanks <3
I've been playing quite a bit of Ogryn, Zealot and Psyker recently and, well, dayum
Vet really is the weakest class, huh
😔
ironically I've been playing Ogryn and I keep thinking "if I was a vet, this would have been a breeze"
ok 👍
I wish I could see how much playtime I had as each class on console
a shame they don't let you see your char stats
personally wish I saw how many kills I have :c
Same
Actually, yes you can lol
Just go to your Purge the Heretic penance
Unless you mean per character, in which case, fair enough
Anyway
Been playing Vet for as long as DT has been on Xbox and man, I just simply cannot imagine Vet ever having as much DPS as the other three beyond maybe a Shouty Shredder nade build
I play everything and enjoy everything (Psyker less so) but Vet is my guy. I always come back to him
Having said that I'll be playing a shit ton of Arbites
He is very fun
tell me more
Same on both counts
I cannot say a thing about Arbites other than he's great fun and I've really enjoyed all the time I have with him. Gonna be lurking on here come release to see how you all react 🙂
Oh wait I missed that last bit lmao, you were a playtester then?
Yessir


oh where'd all your youtube stuff go
I stopped YouTube in 2024 mate. It was a very sad time for Darktide then
I might start back up again post Arbites
Would like to help new players learn the game so they stay 🙂
but like
deleted your stuff?
i remembered your shotgun video
and cant find it any longer
but yeah doing darktide youtube is pretty rough, most people just wanna be told what to click, not so much on the how things work
What gun did you guys use for Make Every Shot Count? I'm assuming revolver is easiest
shotguns are easiest
I didn't even think of that. As long as some pellets hit, accuracy goes up?
as long as one pellet hits it considered accurate
Revolver, plasma, boltgun, anything with a low ammo pool
revolver is a safe bet
so doing it intentionally it has to be the best
Just magdump hordes and point-blank bosses, shrimple
also helps if you take off Survivalist
Shotgun easiest overall with the pellets only needing 1 to hit
Very sweet. Glad I asked, I didn't even think about shotgun. Need to make sure I don't have a talent that reloads ammo tho. lol
I'm not even working on the penance right now, just figured I'd ask
@narrow frost if u got time
review the ranged weapons' sections in my guide, the overview pros/cons tables
lemme know if anything u feel should be changed/expanded
can someone tell me which keystone is the one where it procs reload on vet?
Would be appreciated
Weapon Specialist + 1 upgrade node
is it the always prepared one?
I think it's called Always Prepared (not to be confused with the +25% ammo node also called Always prepared)
yup
alright I got the right one then thanks
trying to make a stupid double barrel build yes
infiltrate and double barrel is very funny
Okay, can do now
starting from infantry lasgun IIb to plasma gun II
1st thing I noticed would suppression sway on weapons be considered?
like infantry las sucks if you get suppressed
oh yea forgot abt that
I'll write a notepad
how do do you animation cancel boltgun reload?
I don't think I deleted anything but maybe the channel went dormant or something. And yeah, DT YouTube is a hard gig. No money in it really and if you state an opinion on something you get dragged over hot coals. But I still had fun doing it
Looks good 
but u don’t even have access yet
Do I? 
1: helbore melee, a pro?
2: recon not cleaving, con
3: Recon XIV and Bolter both have low cleave in pro? isn't it con?
4: Maybe a mentioned that ranged weapons aren't meant to spam into horde so most of them having low cleave makes it not ammo efficient
5: Braced con, vulnerable while braced (being hit knocks you out of brace)
6: Bolter pro, very high skill cap (with all the techniques like if you unscope to reset the recoil after every shot)
7: Anti bulwark for combat shotgun (special shell all stagger bulwarks) for pro?
8: Is minimum pellet count mentioned for shotguns? Dbarrel can 2 shot snipers from 100meters, combat shotguns can still 2 shot most specials from most ranged
@tall torrent
what I saw
some of my ideas mix
my bad
Low cleave just means it has some cleave that is low
some weapons have it as pro
Yes
Is mobility the dump stat for the MkI Sapper Shovel?
Because it is low cleave that can go through enemies
Most weapons have 1.5 and can’t cleave through anything
Hence they’re not even mentioned as “con”
Ex: Recon XIV has 3 cleave which is low, and can go through specialists
Could the weapons with 1.5 cleave just be described as "zero effective cleave", for clarity's sake?
Min pellet count is there for shotguns, the overview pro/con is meant to be a super basic overview
No because it is mentioned below
The pro/con section is meant to be a super basic introduction into what it’s good at and what it’s not good at
I see
recon xiv had such a brief moment in the sun
wasnt even that bright in said moment but it had something going on lmao
I use 6C a lot on both vet and zealot, super solid all-rounder
14 just eats too much ammo for my taste
6C is so ammo efficient, it's hard for me to play the other 2 instead
yea, the 6c is what the mg12 used to be
the best all-rounder outside of dealing with carapace
12 is just a bit too slow for me
mg12 lasgun I mean
the OG
don't even know what it's called anymore
mk 9 apparently
man i don't know anymore
All the casuals run XII, sweats run VIc
ye
its just funny since the recon 2 was categorically the worst weapon in the game bar none
for basically the entire game's lifespan until the recon reworks
and now its a pretty top tier contender
That's the current VIc?
It’s gonna take me a long time to do stagger charts but I think it’ll be worth it
and i think 12 became 14 or something idk i hate the renames
At least with radar charts being scrapped I don’t rly have to use the word document anymore
Learnt a lot about stagger today
what was learned: i don't know shit about stagger
The fact that power sword technically does less stagger with activated heavy attack than normal heavy attack
Is quite funny
Nuh uh
It cleaves Groaners (1.25 mass)
actually makes sence
Used to be 1 according to my notes
pure. science.
One man shall not question the refined craftsmanship of the Omnissiah
ohh i see
yea hit masses got reworked a little while back
it was pretty silly that bruisers had more mass than shotgunners
by making them all have a lot more mass :c
can no longer cleave through like 5 shotgunners in 1 swing 😔
Lol those were the days. Seeing the scoreboard light up
the dopamine hit of killing a shotgunner patrol UwU
very rude DH spawn :c
I used to have issues with hordes of maulers getting in my face, since I use a sniper/sharpshooter build… thank the emperor for the shovel and its staggers
Demon hosts are a non issue if you have the DPS
Run kraks
They are great oh shit resolvers
I do heavy attacks extremely quick, and every other hit staggers everything but the biggest enemies
Why not use the spike variant
It's move set ain't bad and the special kills armoured quick enough
I’m not going for single strikes. With my build I need crowd control for my melee
I able to kill crushers with 2 charged shots from my lasgun, 3 if I get extremely unlucky and don’t manage to crit
I find maul works great for that especially if you get it geared towards shock
Yeah but I don’t think the maul does enough damage unless you charge it right?
Nah maul does great damage
What veteran weapons good at both clearing and elites. I’ve been using the recon lasgun and feel like I do no damage
Alr I tried out the shock maul, it definitely does more damage, but it still doesn’t have as good of crowd control as the classic shovel
I’m also in the low: mid levels tough so maybe that’s it
That's why.
Are you using the crowd control version
Is it bad 😭
Also don't use guns to clear hordes.
Waste of ammo unless you use the specific model for it.
Their is one focus target one and one crowd control
Ohh okay
Brown recon is the one that you want for crowds.
Still sort of a waste of ammo, but sustainable if you use shock trooper.
The braced auto gun, plasma and bolters
Yeah the mk XIV or whatvere
Plasma can do both, a single shot clears out a large section of walkers, charge it and you can 1-2 shot crushers if you min max. Plus it goes right through the shield ogryns
Only does like 33% damage to bulwarks through their shield though.
I don’t think I’ve tried the brace auto I’ll give that a go
It is a learning weapon but once learnt is one of if not the best weapons in the game
Is it still automatic
How’s it different from a regular auto gun
Focus on crowd control and close combat but if you get the heavy version it can deal with about everything
Just don't expect to snipe anything with it
But if you aren’t able to sneak around the bulwarks to hit their vulnerable sides, it’s better than nothing. Especially because there IS nothing else that can go through the shield
Ohh that’s sounds fire
which shotgun works best?
Make yourself more clear
You mean the good one or the bad one?
Fire shotgun but in general they need a buff across the board as they kinda all suck damage wise
as in between the combat shotgun or the double barrel, had mediocre results with both
The fire spread bullet doesn't push Crushers anymore
Trash
Well I mean, Double Barrel is good for clearing close hordes
Combat shotgun is bad at everything

damn but its satisfying to use
True
But its like cigarettes
It feels good but its actually bad for you
Well you won't die from it, of course
The doom shotgun need the reload blessing on alt fire to be viable in a tight squeeze but as I said damage wise the current shotguns don't cut it
Neither get cancer
ill just have to hope the arbites have a good shotgun then
It has big shotgun bullets on the top, of course it will be good
Every shotgun that has it is good
Not true.
Vet has always prepared weapon spec.
thats the hope, i just feel like any weapon i run is better than shotgun and its sad because they are so cool
Guaranteed manstopper + never reload every shot is op asf.
Hopefully combat shotguns receive a tuneup when Arbites drop.
Chat I need help I can’t decide
no
Please ainz
Well yeah not way more
Is that why you’d choose it?
yea
I like to be low econ
if you prefer to be the star of the show instead, the 12 is for you
someone has to be
Why
it has 3 cleave
other 2 has 1.5
Oh
it also uses 2 ammo per shot tho
The other two are so much better than the slowest one tho
nah 14 is good, it just uses 2 ammo per shot
I mean horde does extremely fast with 12 and endless ammo with crits
Plus shredder nade
Dies*
ok, are we talking auric or havoc here
cuz ammo efficiency don't matter one bit on auric
I haven’t done too many havocs yet
Should you even use the recon to horde clear even? I still have no idea even though it seems to work fine and really doesn’t use tons of ammo
I feel like it’s faster than dueling sword still lol
Double barrel is funny as hell with the reload keystone
I enjoy it much
shotgun , swing a bit, shotgun has one shot, unload into crowd and swing again
insanely good for havoc
I even made a video about it
Havoc 40 Quad Vet Smokes. Home Made Vent Purge, Loyalist Friendly
I was using Psword and Dbarrel
lmao this is the exact loaodut I'm using
what are the odds
it's the only one that makes sense
apart from maybe +krak -20% stamina on swap
if you wanna use a shovel or something
any good carapace options come to mind besides power sword and rashad?
def
What’s the better variant/model for the braced auto gun? Not looking for auric or havoc level stuff, just want to do masteries
Agripina for more damage per shot, cleave and stagger
Or Graia for brrrrrrr
You have like a thousand shots on it
I’m currently levelling up the auto pistol, so I think I’ve had enough of thousands of shots, so I may go for the agripina
Mobility; defence stands for push cost and mkIV chainaxe (the best one) combo for dealing with hordes is push att - heavy - repeat
Needs thunderous or other sources of brittle to make bloodletter do more dmg; in essence - on vet it can 1 shot a crusher with a correct build, 2 shots a crusher in havoc
Yes
Remember the ancient wisdom; The face is the place 
is the plasma gun THAT much better than the other weapons such as recon lasgun?
Higher dps I guess
Then yes
It's the cleave that plasma has which makes it insane
Has the highest ranged cleave outside manstopper and infinite cleave
And can build to 1 shot elites
So 1 shot killing 5 elite gunners is more dps then a recon taking 60 bullets to kill 5 gunners
*rough numbers for the ammo
But you get the idea
Isn''t that strictly better than the recon then?
I say plasma is more broken the recon
Not really; every weapon has its weakness or two
But both perform very well
aight ty
recon is significantly easier to use
doesn't have as much headshot reliance
much better ammo sustain
whats some good melees to pair up with a helbore. Was havin a lot of fun with it in damnation and auric or whatever, but it finally got to a point where I couldn’t always just use the bayonet
the canonical answer is shovel
Hsword or power sword
^ wrong and heretical
DT is not canon 
Maybe shovel will be the correct answer when vet gets its rework in 2030
(it is)
Then why is shovel not the correct answer smh
not just uncanny
I will probably end up swapping to arbite forever when it comes out tbh. Cuz dog
but uncanny + skullcrusher
Which is even crazier because that combo should make shovel S tier
krieg is pretty good at dying, canonically
Fair...
I wish the hsword was good on vet
Very fun weapon
@tall torrent how do I make the hsword good on vet
And not cope
it is good on vet 😠
Yeah I just gotta set there and cope against Cara
You play Bolter and thats it
you take the bolter with you yeah

Oh my weapon spec
Give vet tknife so I can do what I do on zealot
yeah
Thought shattering impact was better
not even close
its great for using it as a rifle
What the scallop
not on veteran
I could have sworn it was changed or something
doesnt zealot run puncture cavalcade
it's only kinda relevant on zealot for 1 specific enemy
or even pinning fire cavalcade
Thought scourge senergized with it
Due to puncture
Wait so what the correct set up?

u have options
Oopies
can't go wrong with some combo between Puncture, Pinning Fire, or Cavalade on Zealot
I can be rather silly at times
What do I run if I’m running bp on him?
I know that crit chance affects range
What’s bp
bolt pistol
Piety?
Blazing piety
i run bp with pinning fire cavalcade but i dont know if that's optimal or not
Graaahhhh
No maniacs?
you gotta dedicate your perk and blessing so you can have a 2 second faster ttk on the most dangerous enemy in the game, the crusher

the heavy sword does ten million maniac damage at base
I know dat
But I wuv one shotting dem
if you want you can go unyielding + elites on the heavy sword
That’s possible
or maniac unyielding if you really wanna
@tall torrent show me the hsword steam guide snippet for vet
it has nothing
hsword is a simple weapon to use tbh
I start with good weapons first
its just heavy loght heavy light
the the stuff that look interesting

then the boring stuff
Tbh I’m just spoiled from uncanny
true !
people crutch on 2 shotting crushers and don't learn how to kite and play around armor
its not that bad! it's fun even!
And the bolter with its slow draw time throws me off from my usual Rashad revlover or knife dbarrel
Guh

Also the ds on vet is one of the most uninteresting things I’ve ever played
I'd like u to know that, at some point, there was a havoc iteration where most weapons could not break rager combo
Huh

yea
Not even ps or d barrel?
Speaking of ps how the flip do I fight bons with that thang
Dang
Is it the same as the guide on the word doc?
This is the build I planned on running with it https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d51275b-f9c4-4494-9b88-bfafbbbf4981/terrible-vet-build?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button
Ignore the weapons
well I haven't started heavy sword section in steam guide
I'm trying to add stagger details to every weapon

which is a monumental task
How far along are you?
power up, push stab light light
like
2 power swords done
and then every single ranged weapon needs to get changed & checked
which I haven't done
Yeah I do dat or I’m running around coping
I scrapped the radar chart + description paragraphs
and opted for a more minimalist pros/cons table
it looks like this now
often times vet will be better off screening for the boss killer anyways
esp when you have bolter
you're good at killing the specials
its funny, i can pretty easily learn a weapons moveset and flow just by swinging it in the psykh for like, five, maybe ten minutes for the really complex ones
but as soon as you put it into a chart i have no fucking idea what it is, even if i know it by heart
That’s simple still can’t wrap my head around the moveset diagram
but that diagram is super simple
imagine penning the notation of someone's beautiful piano piece but when you show it to them they go "what the fuck is this?"
Tried to true this but apparently he had me blocked

"what are these squigglies"
Just looked at it again it’s not bad
the fucking pysker saying that right before dying too is pure COMEDY
Yeah but at the same time i always go into a match thinking that I’ll have to clutch or basically play solo
Really make me love the knife for that reason
guess what this is
some vt2 gamer is telling me the plasma gun was able to two shot bosses on damnation and it made him think the game is too easy
On vet?
this is rashad axe
Oh yeah
Where do people look for builds these days?
rashad
I completely forgot it did that
beat me too it 
What does the uppercut even do?
iirc it stuns shit
It does?
i think?
it does
Literally me I can't read these fucking things worth a damn
my brain just shuts off
its like the parable about the centipede
"wow mr centipede how do you move with all those legs"
the centipede pauses and stays frozen in place
"OH FUCK I DONT KNOW"
lmao
Trying to make a catachan jungle fighter build for vet! Looking for anyone who may be able to point me in the right direction
I’m gonna go with devils claw for weapon! For gun…las weapons is normal
Or shotguns
best i could come up with for the lack of characters. wanted to do LtDanOfMoebianGuard so bad 💔
oh dclaw's gonna be rough ngl lol
could they conceivably use knife or something at least
combat blade is also explicitly catachan
use the boomstick
and then go stealth vet and be an absolute little fucking shitbastard
based on CFK's description above, this should work very well
oh right the knife literally has catachan in the name lol
i did it slightly differently
i took kraks because going all the way to the other side of the tree with vet already being starved as fuck for points felt bad
plus i don't need the help vs monsters when i have a knife but like if i have to clutch i don't have the survivability of a shout vet so i wanna be able to burst it
but i also love me some bleed so i'm gonna try this also
yeah it's somewhat a thematic build
fatshark is so boring bro
Nsfw
just go with LtDan 🤔
i was tryna go with a moebian name but fuck it just gonna go with LtDanOfCadia
fatshark is boring apparently
this is clearly the american
the right to bare arms and fucking nothing else
having read the constitution, that sounds right to me
tell me you're using the premium cosmetic that has two augmetic legs
no but i have it
how you gonna make a lt dan reference and not give him new legs
that's the good shit
lmao
This is probably a long shot but I wish FS would set an update or two aside just to make female versions of some of the armor that the model reuse really stands out on. I really want to use this jacket for my female Vet but it's just so oversized on her lol
IVth sounds fine
Thats was 4, corrected to be 6
whats 53 lmao
LIIIrd
L = 50
might do moebian Vth
L - 50
I - 1
thanks btw
All good
see what if i did the moebian 6th
I'd like it if they added more personalities for the four dudes
like a gaunt ghost esc guy
is there any "easy" way to do the armourbane penance
civi maelstrom?
ah
how do I start one of those ig
random chance to be the maelstrom
fair enuf
the big mission in the center board
what perks and stuff do i put on the power sword? power cycler and..? do i do wrath or brutal momentum?
bromentum
Thanks I’ll give this a shot!
pc4 + brumentum. also check pins (hammer of the emperor guide) has all this info and more
oh, that's a lot of words. neat
The split second of the psyker before dying LMAO
The voiceline too 
if youre on pc theres a mod that lets you pick missions that are off the board btw
Bro think he carti

huh
how tf does that work...
like do u still get rewards for the missions
and whats the mod ig
When cheats:
it's just a severe skill deficit by the others
?
many more try
many more try
they still count but you need a team for the maelstroms cus ppl cant just qp into one thats not on the board
i use it exclusively for civi cus i love that modifier so much
wouldve done it for civi too if I knew of it 30 mins ago ngl
went from 300smth to 430 grenade kills in 1 run
I will soon be free of this final veteran penance
Yo, does the survivalist aura stacks? (the one that gives you 1% ammo when killing an elite, with 5s CD)
the 500 armored enemy one?
for a while there was this event where the regular hordes got replaced with moebian 21st and they all counted as armored
bruhhhh
the modifier never to be seen again, just like dark rituals and all others
well while im at it any other useful mods I should be aware of?
i like numeric ui and other utility/info stuff
yeee I have numeric
not that one but eh might add it ig
No.
Auras do not stack, ever, unless it's the un-upgraded version.
So like, the stinky not good survivalist that vet starts with stacks with survivalist, but two survivalists do not stack.
wut
Stock auras stack with their upgraded counterparts.
ah
im pretty sure that is incorrect
w
wouldn't matter cuz you can't have it unless you don't go down your tree at all
civi is the best
hate lights out and sniper waves though
5 sniper lining up in the dark
and 6 ragers in the dark near you
+trash mobs
Uncanny strike on vet is mandatory for havoc? or can I use rashad - plasma?
Hmm nvm, I mean the answer is obvious I'm going to have an easier time with uncanny
But also, what other options can I use for range weapon in havoc? besides plasma
havoc vet uses powersword and plasma for the most part
I use tactical axe combat shotgun, very fun
Bolter, both shotguns, recon, las pistol
All good options
Depends on build and play style
Vigilant auto is also fun
Would not recommend on high ping though
I swear it took 3-5 shots to resister 1 hit for me when I played eu
God I love exe plasma
What kind of curios should I go for a helbore build?
i always go 3 toughness on everything
some people take a wound curio
some people take health
its up to you usually
gotta love deadshot vets crumpling from cracking a nail
That's just skill issue. I used to run +6 due to OCD.
Only using maxed value curios.
i use 3x stam in havoc with scabs laspistol build
how is bolt pistol even compared to bolt gun? isnt it literally just a smaller weapon with less ammo? does it have exclusive blessings make it do more damage?
What is scabs laspistol build
I treat it more like revolver
but then can’t you do the same with bolt gun
except you get more ammo
tho it’s a bit slower
Well then does that also mean more melee focused if you run bolt pistol
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9da7999f-314a-47e5-a245-2df66897ac31/ammo-fountain-havoc-40
you need the stamina to keep deadshot up, thus getting more crits and conserving ammo via shocktrooper
bolt not las
I think he meant to ping me
i did
oh
Thanks juck
Ok but also why las pistol why can’t you do the same with las gun
same question basically lol
laspistol X is more mobile, has innate increased crit chance
interesting
you can also kill maulers in a couple of bodyshots its actually funny. takes like 4 or 5 hits tops
what’s the innate crit vs lasgun
15% on laspistol
only 5 on lasgun
for some reason pistols basically outclass the rifles at their job
oh, i forgot to mention laspistols get suppression immunity, lasguns dont
Who though that having more ammo alone was a good reason to make the las weapons inferior to the Heavy pistol? Only reason recon performs ok is because it's rapid application of fire
Recon las is better than okay
It's top tier
Kantraels need love, Hellebores suffer from awful wield times and ugly ironsights but hit hard enough
reverse damage falloff and terrible flak adm really hurts ilas
not to mention carapace damage which is a joke, for obvious and lore reasons
The infantry las guns have so many problems
helbores need faster wield times and innate cleave
Awful non weak spot damage, shit flak damage, shitty sights, hip fire accuracy that goes sideways
ilas have one of better sight in the game
I don't think Hellebores need innate cleave but they definitely need faster wield times
at least in my experience
They are mis aligned
yes they do
And lie to you
ah
Agree to disagree. They are a couple of small tweaks away from being very strong
why? becase revolver being THE SNIPER in the game has bullshit cleave. and helbore whick needs to charge has 0 cleave
thats my opinion
That's a revolver problem, not a hellebore one
Revolver got giga juiced ages ago and never came down
Absurd cleave for that weapon
i get why people say helbores cleave is fine
What does innate cleave even means
Helbys have 3 already
You can always run Hotshot, only real blessing choices are surgical, brittleness and Hotshot anyway.
And 3 on a gun is already high
by innate i mean just cleave of a weapon
i know most gun have between 0 and 1.5 clave
They really got plasma backwards. Lights should be worse and charged shots should be big cleavey boys
agrip brauto has 3 iirc
Yeah it's just "innate" that's throwing me off
innate as in not added by blessing and such
Which is 3
yes
See the loop I'm in
remind revolver has how much cleave?
aye thanks
3
No I actually figured it out
Verifiably checked
What is usually the dump stat for helbore las? Should I choose 60% in ammo or charge rate? Ty
ammo rate
I figured the same. Tyvm
Stability
stability
😂😂
btw why stability
It's a very stable weapon
So stable it's almost immune to suppression
Ammo is the secondary dump stat because well infinite ammo
lol
Damage, Stopping Power and Charge Rate basically affects your dps
New-ish player needs help understanding something with the Recon Lasgun:
Why is Dum-Dum considered superior to Deathspitter if both actually stack up to five times (also Fatshark please, why does one blessing mention "stacks up to five times" and the other doesn't argh, confused the hell out of me) BUT if I understand correctly Deathspitter is a general strength increase for everything aka not limited to the "Close Damage" of Dum-Dum
Dumdum just works without needing kills.
Ballsy enough to pointblank recon a boss? It's max stats. Deathsplitter requires you to shoot 5 things dead in close range first.
Which usually means shooting hordes.
ahhhhh, omg yeah, kinda glanced other that one while testing in the psykhanium because I always had 5 kills, hahaha, thanks
Not to mention close range damage
Max effectiveness up to 12.5 meters
Then it drops off until 30 meters
close range
Looks inside
30 meters

XD
Totally close, right?
Also why Longshot is so dook.

honestly you should prob have a separate appendix or something with this sort of info
no
well i guarantee you plebs like me are just going to be skipping past it
useful information to have, but most people aren't going to be looking for it, hence my suggestion it go in an appendix
yea it does list stagger breakpoint
and cleave
this is the simplified form lol
this is the exact same thing I had in word document
just with stagger stuff added
the rest is all the same
@elder oriole
huh?
Bonk
I am honestly impressed with the effort and depth of this guide
Fatshark waiting for it to drop before a Vet and weapon rework
I will be petting da dawg by then
Looking to get the weapon specialist penance, any tips on gear/talents that help with that?
What do you have to do for that one?
Critical weakspot kills on specialists/elites while the perk is active
Revolver
Thanks, I'll try that out
I want these karkers dead!
vet congradulating himself in a four man type with three ogryns
Give 'em the ol' Kasrkin Double Tap!
doing the deadshot meme with the heavy ILAS (using infernus + unyielding perk) does funny things to its boss damage
doing what with what? lmao
i wish the practical uptime of marksman focus was just a bit higher.
if it gave damage instead of finesse itd be fine
more than that
it needs to just not decay stacks on movement, period
and there'd need to be options to give either finesse or damage
It doesn't decay stacks if you can click on a head every 3 seconds
It's actually pretty good on IAG, VAG, ILG and Laspistols
IAGVAGILGL
You gotta be happy with sometimes shooting at horde enemies too though
Still ass
i would just want the camo stacks to build a bit faster, or not count ads as walking
3 things in life. death, taxes, and people bitching about MMF
I bitch about vet generally
though even me, the biggest enjoyer of MMF there is, probably, would say it needs a rework
its just not as bad as people make out to be
Camo is more about making it more accessible on a boss or something imo
3 stam curios, use deadshot (stamina drain with every aimed shot but gain increased crit chance). put infernus on gun (burn damage for every crit), use +25% unyielding damage - watch bosses melt away
Trouble is with both ES and MF is that they give the most utility vs bosses but shit uptime on them
They're a pale shadow of SG and DD which also affect melee and assail
the fact it incentivices shooting horde with guns sucks should reward more but only be for ranged enemies / elites / specials
It's thematically a mess
I dig the gameplay of it
But it doesn't sound like what it is
lemme build full stacks by spamming this horde head height
also it needs something like scriers where it refreshes just from hitting bosses so you dont lose the buff vs bosses
and half the time the server doesn't even register the weakspot kill 🔥
poxwalkers have some kind of magic anti-weakspot aura
the rest i dont have these issues
...only sometimes
it probably has to do with their movement animation they kinda waddle and move their head side to side
In theory you hit 15 stacks in 5 bullets or 10 in 4.
i like the idea of what camo is trying to do, giving you that option to move, stop, shoot, move, stop, shoot, but it's too easy to lose stacks vs getting them still
And then Vraks says lol, lmao even and just sprays where it likes
It means that you can maintain stacks in airlocks at least
just duck in those
With Camo you shouldn't need to ramp up at the start so much
yeah its a bad design like it stacks equally against horde compared to elites when its called marksman focus and incentivices spray and pray vs slow firing precision weapons
But LRA is probably better
It incentivises fast and precise imo
Vraks 5 suffers by not actually always getting the headshots for example
Big spread even at 80 stab
Outside of ex stance
But like i would never take it on an autopistol or a recon since they don't have the multipliers
youre wrong on that one
recon yeah mmf is a waste
autopistol with MMF is really funny and actually good outside havoc
they buffed finesse modifier to 1.5
with exec you get the necessary accuracy
try it out
You folks believe we will get weapon updates when the arbites come live? Want a real reason to use both shock maul and C.shotguns
no idea
You can do that without it on a recon. Just spray at heads near point blank after shouting.
The "Arbites at home" isn't that good sadly
Including boss head.
Still think the apistol is more of a zealot gun, kinda like the inspiring Barrage ripper, just a weapon to generate toughness while sprinting to enemies
It can deal ok damage but isn't much better than the IAuto Vraks
It's not the toughness why zealots bring the autopistol, they get enough of that already. It's the mobility of a pistol why Zealots often pick it.
And for that imo Bistol is leagues better
Also laspistol
Also revolver.
But all of the pistols have the 1 thing in common, good mobility.
Yeah, it is not only faster but quite good Vs bosses
Except the Apistol has almost same mobility than the Vraks
Run and gun on Bistol for zealot.
Shredder is the only fully automatic one, that's the niche it fills.
It hipfires pretty good right?
You want puncture as second anyway.
I only use it on my zelly
Only first shot.
Everything else is memes.
With or without it.
Tbh, for how usually you run Bistol that's enough for most engagements
autopistol also has better swap speed
and I don't really know how big the difference is, but I've ran both extensively and the autopistol feels noticeably faster
But isn't the LasPistol better on the fact it has better mobility, damage and infernus?
True. But not a joke about any shot after the first going anywhere unless pointblank.
not sayinng its better than vraks but that was hella fun 
I'm not using that on multiple classes, not very often at least. I already get enough fun out of the laspistol on veteran.
Tried it on psyker and genuinely thought that I was cheating, the gun with high crit does surprisingly good work
Something that this reminds me: isn't it weird the shredder has so good stagger that outclasses the Braced Aguns? I would expect those to have stagger to topple rangers and such, while the Apistol should be running king
yeah that doesnt make much sense. they probably wanted to keep the stagger aspect as a positive of the gun before they buffed it again
I call bs, give that to the Braced guns and make the gun sprint speed and cost better, I feel that would really give it a place to be used seriously
Idk what BAGs are even for tbh
I mean an ogryn would love it I guess
But all the punies have good crit scaling
They're just shit recons now
At least recons do meme fire
My point, these guns should be the stagger specialists, making a suppression line of safety both with actual suppression and stagger
Also they should cleave more imo
True, but why the PISTOL can topple maulers with such ease? But the Brautos don't?
Only because it got a shine recently and BAGs didn't
lighting candles for ObeseFish to give Brautos a buff (still think shredder should lose the stagger, give it to the Brautos and gain some more mobility in exchange)
Maybe shredder should get a steep drop-off for the stagger
Suffering 
My first orange was an ABAG
the baggies have noob trap blessings like stripped down and hit&run
coming from vermintide they were actually kinda solid
before you realized how the sprint&slide mechanics worked in this game
ok seriously remind me why the dump stat of shredder is mobility when it can stagger ragers from their combo whit collateral as a dump stat
Guys I have two power sword at my choice one of em has 7 out of %60 mobility other has 49 out of %80 in contrast to damage reduction a bit which one do you recommend?
Since Im new I cant send ss so this is best I can come up with
I think the ideal power sword has cleave targets as its dumpstat @muted peak
But I haven't used one in ages so I might be wrong
🤔
Psword's dump is cleave
Although with those numbers it sounds like you aren't level 30
this will be the first time I will be using power sword so a bit hesitant
So tbh just take anything with decent damage, cleave damage and finesse iirc
And try to snag power cycler for it
but mobility seems awful with the one that has celeave damage more?
you dump cleave because the active mode gives it insane cleave, hence making cleave from the weapon itself not necesary
isnt it an issue
you want movility BECAUSE its natural movility is so bad
you dont want to have it at its worse
cleave from that stat doesnt change much, the active give you already plenty of it
It's an unwieldy bastard tbh, I can't use it myself
you need power cycler to get 3 slashes
so which one should I take
its a must
yeah, all the time lol
Even low level power cycler
the one with higher cleave damage?
Even one extra slash is a big difference.
So power needs to be recharged?
what
just try it out in the psyk
