8.4 second crusher/mauler test
Very fair and balanced
U have to be smoking a special kind of crack if you think psyker ranged anti-carapace is better than their melee anti-carapace
Depends
Usually melee
There’re a few ranged weapons good at it
Beating the middle child allegations so hard you become top tier
i was mostly using helbore + power sword, cuz i randomly got a perfect helbore, but then i randomly got a perfect recon and i was like 'eh i'll try it' even if it's not the usual archetype i go for. Doin a buncha lasguns on vet before i move on to different weapons on arbites
I cant find anything related to blessings there?
And I don't know if thats my issue but there is no classification
Should I just swipe down to see what I am looking for untill I see it?
you go to the weapon you're looking for, and it'll have the perks and the blessings under each mark
oh, it looks all wonky
Yeah I think the file got smooched when I tried to open
it's above the important talennts, there it says headtaker and slaughterer
I'm away from my pc so don't want to be bored
or thrust on the other mark
So they are the recommended blessings?
yep, and the stuff right above those are the perks
Thank you buddy but I have another issue
I tried rebless my weapon but It said the blessing was not available
get yer mastery up i guess
So do I have to open every single blessing by upgrading each weapon sodo I get them?
yeah, get yer mastery up so you can unlock the blessings to put in
Download the picture
Click on the chart
Download it
Trust me
This chart?
Yeah
You can download it or view in new tab
Same thing for the weapon image
Yeah I don't know why it does that
Minor inconvience when you are dealing with word files
I hate word files
Oh yeah you'll need to download as PDF to view it properly on mobile I'm afraid
Maniac
Flak
Headtaker
Slaughterer
For both
earlier in the guide he explains all the abbreviations
Okay thank you
such a wordy guide, but thorough. Pretty open about stuffs too
It is pretty condensed
Which chaxe were you guys running?
4
Mobile sites do all sorts of shit like that, even more than desktop versions of sites. Often it's enough to remove the "m." at the start of a URL to make it load the desktop version of the site instead. That is, if the site itself doesn't provide with the option to use the desktop version to begin with(many do)
Mobile version is wack
And unfortunately the steam guide won’t fix that issue
Havoc gaming
all 4 have revive shout
rule is we can not manually revive
only can use shout
my honest reaction
This doesn't sound very challenging tbh but I respect the meme
@narrow frost So every Veteran was just yelling at the downed one to get his karking stuff together and get back up?
yes
Your duty is not done, now get up!
and all Dbarrel
Sounds like fun
tried out the P.Sword some more after some tweaks and fixing curious
it really is life changing after learning to animation cancel the special
for the past few days i really liked playing small lasgun vet with devil claw sword
just shooting shooters
and specials
CoD build
frag > krak
bleedy bois
bleed is just a good bonus
I see
and bleed works only if you throw like at least 2 grenades
have been fun for me with the lasgun build
taking cover, doing headshots
not being op and killing everything is fun
I like recon lasgun for that type of build
i let my team to deal with bosses and armor enemies
works up to havoc then you basically need to be able to kill armor on your own or your dead
darktide makes it super fun if you want to watch back
it actually sucks that most people dont use cover in the game
even tho the tutorial teaches you to do so
other classes its more effective to run straight at shooters/gunners or you'll just be pinned down
having played all class, I do agree. Zealot wants to dive in, Psyker often have bubbles, Ogryn and Vet are ones that usually need cover. I like Cover and Gun tactics with Vet. Ogryn, I need like lots of things to hit or I become a Gunner's meal.
Every class will benefit from cover when it is raining bullets.
it's crazy how many don't have the instinct to do it
is this their first FPS game?
Maybe?
likely the case
I know alot of people that have played darktide have never played vermintide in any capacity, and only got darktide because it's 40k and you can play as an ogryn
2 frags can wipe out most horde enemies, but yeah 1 frag is mostly for stagger
honestly from my experience, yep! first FPS.
I often avoided any shooters except Warframe but its 3ps.
DT has been my general exposure for fps.
There is a lot of shooting involved, but more melee combat too.
In fact, you have to learn both or you will just kiss the ground a lot.
Can anyone provide me with a link to a good smoke vet build?
Or should I grab the big Dom special?
Grab Small sub common 
Whats the best mission if I need long range kills?
@tropic halo hey can i dm you i found someone with a hilarious name i just cant post it here
its actually comically genius
Yeah sure thing, I dont mind it 
Curious to see
alr check dms
Frag is the strongest
The other 2 are situational
Is the tag middle tree not good?
For recon it’s good too
Fellow slab, allow me to introduce you to the Steady Grip node 
Absolutely elite snag for being at the very top of the tree
been using bolt pistal mainly
Literally CAB but better 
Oops! All veteran!
Anyone got any tips for the Be Methodical penance? Can't seem to get enough elites to replenish volley fire
I’d add the other node next to exec’s stance that highlights regular shooters too, gives you more targets
Does that mean regular enemies replenish the stance too? Not quite sure
Regular enemies armed with ranged weapons, yes
Basically, any enemy that’s highlighted will extend the timer
I see, should I also try and solo missions? team usually obliterates everyone before I get the full 20s
Solo will put you in with bots that you’d have even less of a control over, unless you try and kill them and leave yourself on your own completely
Aren't bots worse than actual players tho? So they should be getting less kills and more for me no?
Yes, but unlike other players, they stick by you at all times, so if you can shoot an enemy, so can they, other players have the odds of being in the wrong place or facing the wrong way to the enemy
Guess I just gotta keep spamming missions and praying then
Yeah, that’s usually how penances go
Do you recommend heresy or damnation for potentially more elites?
If you have that shooter node active, you just need a lot of shooting enemies, not specifically elite, so either of those difficulties are good, but naturally heresy and damnation have more enemy spawns, more enemies = more possible shooters
Just wait until you see a big group of people shooting at your squad to activate it and if you’re lucky, you’ll get it eventually
Gotcha ty
I can help
Ah no worries it just took a lot of tries with randoms ty tho
Hello there
I no speak english
"Could someone help me complete the penance 'Make Every Shot Count'? I would really appreciate your help."
Alguien aquí habla español??
should I go 2 health curios and 1 toughness or 2 toughness and 1 health?
either will work
it's helpful in aurics/AM to have >200hp
to tank bursters/snipers
so roughly 200? Like close?
specifically above 200
can you hit 200 with a single health curio?
yes, but will need to take 3x health perks on your curios
so it limits your perk optionsa a bit
what perks should I have?
I have some sprint efficiency and a stamina regen
2 gunners and 1 sniper
and a ability cooldown
Thank you
3x sprint efficiency, the rest can go into hp/toughness/gunner or sniper resist/ordo dockets/cdr
the toughness can reduce damage from gunners and sniper pretty well right?
Do I really need the improves grenade perk for krak grenades?
gunners yes, snipers will skip your toughness unless you have piss toughness up
wait so sniper bypasses toughness?
yes, and bursters too
which is why hp still matters even though vet has a lot of synergies with toughness
So 200 preferably
got it
So 1 sniper, 3 sprint, 3 health, and maybe 2 toughness/cdr?
for curio perks?
it's nice but not required
Yeah that's good
Very nice in pubbies. Doesn't matter much if premade, assuming you can trust your team
thanks for this advice. it works extremely well with power sword. the push + activation is near instant which also makes the stabbing combo very quick. using this has greatly improved my survivability and ability to stand my ground. knowing i can have powered stabs near instantly has also helped fighting captains even if the weapon is not ideal
uh
what I meant was
remember that "pushing but not doing push attack" is a thing
but glad it works out well for u
Wonder what’ll be the next vet weapon
cryonic rod
Gimme the long las
vacuum capsule
Yes.
Is the krak grenade upgrade worth it? Like will they still kill without it?
Yes and no. They have 4x damage to toughness. The only thing that stops a sniper from dealing hp damage is gold toughness.
If its not a Melee I would at least like a Helgun/Light Stubber
but I think Vet needs a melee first
Kraks without tinkerer won't oneshot bulwarks, which is the main thing you throw them at.
Oh hello ice cream sundae frog it's weird seeing you in vet chat
Hear me out
No, it's weird seeing me in ogryn chat.
Thank you!
We're not in ogryn chat 
True, focus target is capable of making you not need tinkerer.
But like, who takes the time to ping a bulwark when they throw a krak?
The point has flown over your head.

(I'm saying it's not weird seeing me here, I speak here a lot)
Not really often but I mean you actually talk in here unlike Ogryn Chat
They don’t
They have 10x damage to toughness
And full spillover
Ok well the point is the only thing saving you is gold toughness.
I'll amend my information in future, thanks Path.
My activity is mainly in zeal chat, then here, then educating the unwashed masses of psyker chat (why does everyone take the fucking quell/gen toughness talents on gunker), and almost never in ogryn chat unless I'm asking a question.
Veteran Spear
If zealout does not get the first polearm or one of the first polearms in a batch (like how zeal and psyker got greatswords at the same time) I will riot.
Rioting is violent and socially unacceptable
That's the point.
hmmmm no
you are incorrect
spear is a soldier thing not a crazy person thing
Your first mistake is thinking that agitator and judge are crazy.
they totally are
Fanatic absolutely is but agitator and judge are not.
(They are)
Ok then how are they crazy?
Lies of the heretic type falsehood
Because, to me, agitator just has a superiority complex, and judge is just religious.
Judge is just the least crazy
You do know self flagellation is common, right?
yeah i do it
I literally only Take Quell/Peril Toughness Gen for making SG's literally free passive background toughness
Like, in religious context.
I'm doing it right now
The Christians and Catholics used to do it a lot way back when, and self flagellation was even practiced in Japan up until the 16th century. (I believe they were the last to do that)
Religiously yes
But doing it as “their favourite pastime” is a bit much
Also I may or may not had a scenario where i was forced into a clutch and had to solo for over like
7 minutes
and yeah honestly seeing the players just were not carrying there weight after that I just dipped
cause I clutched
Ok I can see where that part would be considered a little crazy.
just all that work for so little didn't feel good
But in warhammer context, I don't see that as crazy.
That's fairly normal as far as the pious are concerned.
I can see where the free background toughness would be useful but scriers also gives you an insane amount of killing power at all ranges. Seems like it's only really useful in that specific scenario.
Veteran is unfortunately not made for clutching
literally make it a better EStance
Gotta waste ult for toughness
I did it without taking any HP Damage shockingly
but it was a lot of
Going forward
running back
repeat
Yea
Didn't fucking help it was a gun seed on Consigment
What not having second wind does to clutching
and it was sheer and utter Stalker + Gunner + Reaper spam
Basically it was get stuck in corner
PRAY THE STALKERS GET CLOSER
or kill any special that even remotely thought of getting near me
Use ult to kill like maybe 1-2 reapers
repeat
Reaper takes 2x explosion damage btw
U can usually shut groups of them down well with grenades
My ass was NOT wasting Kraks on reapers when Bulwarks were in play also
but yeah fair point
oh with krak
tbh I still use krak for reaper if they're too far
those 1500 reaper kills aren't gonna get themselves done
🤫
who says it doesnt lock like a nagant revolver so its suppressable
No wonder the sticky rumbler always one shots them
@quiet valley what sight do u use on hellbore
help me pick a recon mark
VIc
it seemed like that one had the best numbers, guess i wans't just seeing things
Default sights, MKIV has the best irons
oh they dont all have the mk5 ones that u cant see past?
thank god
yeah the different mks have different sights
how do i fix it
no idea try restarting your game
rip
?
Staves are all different weapons, not different models of the same weapon.
Seen staffs not swapping after loading into a mission after swapping weapon
idk why it was specifically staves
thats a completely different issue 
chaxe really feels like shit to use
esp when the entire team is ogryn/psykers
i take 3 hits to kill a bruiser
an ogryn kills 3 bruisers in one hit
isnt chaxe a notably bad weapon
the dodges feel bad, the damage cap feels bad, taking 3 hits to kill a bruiser feels bad
the chain attack feels bad
I’m looking for a build for a recon esque veteran with a power sword and recon lasgun, any tips for that?
Can anyone just screenshot a build for me 🤣 that vet guide to crazy for my small brain and doesn’t transfer to my phone properly I’ll give you hugs and kisses
I can do havoc 40 with my 3 other classes just struggle with vet for some reason so bad
What kinda build you looking for? I’ve got a great sharpshooter and commander build
try downloading as PDF
if you want a basic build, this works
can just swap the rashad for PS
I like the voice of command ability and I’m currently rocking the plasma gun but getting rid of my power sword because it’s the worst weapon in the game 😤
what blessings +perks on mk1 shovel
Close to what mine was except I using krak grenades
Which stat to dump for plasma gun?
Vet swings his sword like an idioooot
I was using decimator and skull crusher with flak and unarmored perks
I have mine at Thermal Resistance. Don’t need multiple shots if the most you need to kill something is 2.
71 charge, 69 thermal
Hmm i have mine as charge rate
I have the opposite xD
Wait no
I have 61 charge 79 thermal
what weapons can oneshot a crusher
Plasma gun to the head works
Hellebore can also do it. Not on its own of course, I’ve built my build around taking the heads off of anything that dares to show its face with that thing.
Best i could get was 72 charge 69 thermal and 79 ammo 😦
unplayable
didn't top frag but think i held up pretty well for an ES revolver build, when the team comp was a zealot, an ogryn with the h40 title, and a voidblast psyker with the h40 title lol
why so specific
The guide i was reading said gets hot and blaze away i was like wut?
Blaze away but i only had 1 - 2 shots per reload or venting
are you running an unempowered gray plasma 
Yes?
thats your problem
post your plasma
that's prob why
Previous was the same just dumped charge
you got 32 thermal resist
Yeah i need to max it for blaze away im assuming?
blaze away doesn't impact the number of shots you can fire consecutively, it's just thermal resist
blaze away increases damage from spamming shots
Im still really new so i dont know anything
left number is actual number of the stat you. while right number is the max it can be
I got a zealot to 30 and than i made this vet lol
To unarmored and flak? Which perks do you suggest?
Yeah unarmored flak i was using the pinned guide that said any of those 4
lvl 4 blessing only giving +10% crit chance at max is criminal wtf
And damage
Anyone know if the Scion Helmet will come back into commodore vestures or nah?
Possible
Don’t know when
💔
It’s up to +50% crit chance
I seriously don't get why anyone would use this gun
can someone show me the best stat roll version of this gun
You're dismissing my favourite gun 
It can one shot everything except crushers/bulwarks, maulers (which are 2 shots) and bosses
It has way better carapace damage
I certainly didn't feel that way using the thing
It doesn't have reverse damage falloff and still kills everything at long range
you don't really need that much damage at a certain range
You don't want to be 2 shotting crushers before they ever become a problem?
vigilant autogun especially on mmf vet is busted
Am I the only one who doesn't see the appeal of this thing
Fiine I'll get it to max level
maybe this demonstration will whet your appetite
https://youtu.be/brCRv8rMgIY
though im close to deadshot memeing here (only 2 stamina curios) , this is my most used build across the entire playtime
Heh i started favouring the columnus vag more than bolter lately
I would advise against Blaze Away till you are more experienced, since I would assume hitting headshots with the delay whilst firing quickly enough to not let Blaze Away stacks drop isn't the easiest thing in the world. Rising Heat is much simpler to use and a good starting point.
How much is deadshot helping here? 
Cool but mine doesn't do that
In fact it's not even close to doing that
The vig is really only worth anything if you take marksman and voc is the meta for a reason. Personally? I think the vig beats the helbore, but you do have to reload the vig and the ammo capacity is quite low. All the las rifles and pistol are better ultimately along with the bolt options and plasma rifle, but it absolutely is still an A tier gun arguably better than the revolver now
It does help into carapce with deadly accurate
Vag benefits from exe stance a lot
Yeah, exe is just unfortunately still such a waste to take in hav40 since voc keeps your party alive and the damage isn't that significant of a difference between the two with a meta gun like the plasma rifle
I am tired of the hav40 meta, but it is what it is. Aur damn is more fun to play typically these days for me since I don't have to meta whore and save my ass in the event of the game director being an asshole.
anyways this is what I named it
It is a fun gun and does reward good accuracy, but yeah just wish the havoc meta actually allowed more weapons and builds
You have to wait for fewer surgical stacks to guarantee crit, which is needed for rager and mutant oneshot and when rapid firing into bosses
Havoc has its own rules
So patience then
My true enemy 
Then use thw burst one with headhunter
Deadshot allows you to be a bit impatient though. Instead of waiting for surgical you could just shoot immediately and hope for the crit.
It already did by nerfing range units & increasing ammo gain on pickup wdym
It has awful maniac damage.
It wants maniac + elites if you want to have a decent kill time vs dreg ragers.
did you see my video? i do use maniac
I didn't watch it, no.
^
Chainaxe 
Slaughter + headtaker for mkiv
Chainaxe doesn't have brutal momentum
Ah
I did like the idea of combat axe
I have played with brutal momentum on ogryn and, not bad
Might try out the shovel helbore build
With the blessing it's sort of guaranteed crits and if you crit it's like free ammo-wise
I think I like a head slicer
some say shovel are meh
Im using shock maul and dunno what to use for blessings
I think the folding shovel thing sounds nice
It's mediocre imo
It always had good stagger more than damage
two those guy said PS are real vet melee
I loved old power sword
But maybe still it's alright with power cycler
Assault shield would be nice on vet
it's always power cycler
We used to have more activated attacks without power cycler... but then we also had a much worse rng weapon system
Cba to slap the power button every 3 swings
Yeah I get the feeling lol
I want to pull the melee out and it's instantly effective or at least fully powered in a few kills
Sometimes you really do need to melee on a dime
would be cool if it came out powered, or you could power it on its way out
like how the GS on Psyker and Zealot have unique draw attacks (or atleast the psyker one does) you could charge the power sword when drawing it in a similar way
Or bloodletter & thunderous; make it work as intended
Hammerstrike & skullcrusher is good combo
Arbites will have shield & shockmaul weapon; maybe usable for vet & zealot (atleast for vet)
Make a blessing that makes it charged when you swap to it with a cooldown; could be nice
Not too sure zealot would want to give up a stronger melee weapon
It'd be a bit redundant on psyker with their deflector blessing on force swords
If vet gets it then that's the ability to block ranged in higher difficulties, sorted
Even comes with a little revolver
bbq bacon burger
Barbequebaconburger
Best we can do is corpse starch burger
Block bullets =exy stance+ghost/hit and run
I happened to have some burger buns and other stuff handy so I made one for lunch just now
with a fried egg and bbq drenched bacon
Well done, chef
Cats can’t eat corn
been trying to find a good havoc 40 plasma build can anyone help plz ?
Tanner on YouTube has a good thorough build. Just mute the volume and be sure to get better stats on the palsma

power sword VI
dump cleave target
carapace, elite
power cycler, brutal momentum
plasma gun
max dmg, stopping power and ammo
thermal resist 68~69%
charge rate 71~72%
unarmoured, flak
gets hot, rising heat
Any tips and advice on doing the Adept Assassin penance? It's the last Veteran penance I have left until I've 100%-ed the class.
I've gotten 100 kills for it.
Zarona Revolver
I'm not so sure about Manstopper double barrel for this one
In theory it could infinite cleave and kill multiple elites/specials with a CRIT weakspot
zarona 2a revolver
and knife if u want
u just need crit-weakspot kill, doesn't say "ranged" crit-weakspot kill
tacaxe also pretty decent for it
Question: is there a point on stealth veteran? I ask because it feels that the class doesn't feel that build for melee damage and the suppression of it feels like the smoke nades but without ammo needed. Sure is safer than Exe stance, but that can do marvels for some guns like Boltgun and Helbore (even if it feels that should give some toughness while it is active)
Objectives.
for the memes mostly for me
stealth does have good utility
Infiltrate lets you dump all your aggro on the others in your squad, so they get fucked instead of you.
I use Infiltrate to save downed/captured teammates.
You could use Voice of Command to prevent them from getting downed in the first place.
Joking, it is a legitimate use, just like doing objectives.
fucking based

Stealth is the coward’s way
bet your corpse is gonna look really brave with a knife stuck in its back
Vet has lines signaling that they believe that's the right way, but I have issues figuring it's potential when it has so many nodes compared to the other skills all while it feels that the base form would need at least to have that extra damage build in.
another juicy throat to slit
looks good
This having the crit chance of the weapon already makes it invaluable for me
melee weapons won't get breakpoint tables
I'm not dedicated enough to list cleave damage for all 6 armor types
Vet melee is garbo anyway
15 ranged weapons left to go
Path will beat ObeseFish with his guide before they Announce the Vet rework
No hiding from Cadia's vengeance.
gotta rework all melee weapons' formats in guide too
it'll take a while
besides I'm sure vet rework will be mostly talents
Still hoping that they make C.Shotguns and shock maul better in the Arbites patch, even if it makes your work harder
maybe theyll raise chink in the armour's rending effect to TWENTY rending whoah wow sounds
maybe 3 bleed stacks on serrated blade
dumb idea but I think one of MF's subnodes should have the "fully reload gun on ult use" function
also
i really think free reloads just needs to be an ES subnode
nah
make it a keystone so u have to spec ranged keystone to get it
but u can do it with all abilities
more interesting imo
cuz previously it was balanced by denying u counterfire (can't refresh volley fire timer)
if ogryn can get a free reload baked into PBB
vet can get a free reload as part of ES, but at a 1 point cost or something
Ogryn should NOT reload the rumbler on lucky bullet imo
rather than being forced to take a specific keystone
preaching to the choir
vet gotta be the most underpowered class now
vet will go from top 4 class to top 5 class on june 23rd 
deadass 😂😭
Arbites will be "Vet, but cooler and with dogo"
It will have no chance
All is lost
i wonder if arbites will get power sword
REPENT FOR YOUR SINS!!
"sir, he is not, in fact, resisting, he is ded"
i fugging hope not
"Sir, that's not an accident, we were here to kill him for tax evasion"
unless there's lore reasons for them to not use PS
there isn't
welp
they can technically get themselves storm bolters and heavy bolters if they wanted tbh
are those human-usable weapons?
american cops a decade from now
You could have it as like anytime you gain 1 stack it gives X% of your stock ammo into your mag
Like always prepared
So it rewards you for hitting heads as well
pretty much nothing except mechanicus-gadgets are off the table for arbites' arsenal
and even mechanicus-gadgets are like
more for political reasons?
But I imagine bolter guns would be mostly for vehicles unless the small huma-baby-size ones like the spear bolter
bolters are not made for anti-armor
they're made to kill normal things extra hard
melta and plasma are made for anti-armor
But they use it on vehicles, at leas the tabletop game said so
hey that's the NG and marines
not the cops
Extreme Overkill to make everyone that survives get the message.
but that's why the cops gotta level up their gear
yes please
so a decade from now, they're heavily armed enough that they can invade sovereign nations
The message being "pay your taxes OR ELSE!"
Or else what? 
Or else indeed Heretic
Pretty sure the A. Arbites would have its own set of tanks
They do not, but make use of common imperial vehicles.
So they can have some Leman Russ tanks
Alr
Arbites can get Netters and Heavy Stubbers
If the Kill Team is anything to go off of
By webbers
I mean the Trappers Webber
Including Rhinos, Repressors, Chimeras and Leman Russ Battle Tanks. They also make use of Valkyries and something called the Brawler T8, which is similar to the Vulture Gunship.
The Kill Team one functions differently
It's been described to "fire paralysing chemicals"
Sounds like an Imperial Guard Hellhound.
As opposed to the net
Hellhounds spray acid iirc
This one just stuns em
Hellhound Variant.
Considering it hits on 3s
I can assume it's a flamer esque firing mode
We could also get a leash thing for the dog
Maybe subclass
Leashmaster
Arbites also get a Grenade Launcher if it interests you
For that, Subclasses would have to exist first and they don't really exist.
Like
The
Path thingies
thats the bane wolf
Perhaps yeah.
We might get all sorts of things. Probably not.
Still craving to know what skills the Warhammer Judges will have in game, one should probably give dog a bolter to fire while it's attacking
You will know in roughly 12 days.
But I want to know it now
stoppid calendar telling me is not Arbites time
It sounds VERY much on the table
IIRC rn they're just giving us
The Shotgun
Shotpistol
Assault Shield and Shock Maul
Vet is saved
@grand perch The infamous Veteran Rework.
The other obe
There is no other one
I don't think FS would like an Executioner Shotgun tho
Strobing Phospor Lumen sound like it would be a grenade option
Or an aura ability
They'll just get the Duelling Sword and everyone will take it.
What? You know it's going to happen.
nah
GW probs won't let it happen
im ready for them to throw their hands up and just nerf all DS adms into the ground and give it 0.5 cleave 
Please just buff the combat shotgun
Combat Shotguns are viable weapons.
Weak.
By just letting us gain ammo from killing shotgunners in melee
Nah
It needs a lot more than just that
C.shotguns need some help to feel that they are performing adequately
I'm sorry I don't jerk off while playing H40
Brother is not a real shotgunner
Ew, why would someone do that?
Heresy at it's finest
@steep flower Combat Shotguns.
What are the C.Shotguns lacking? I know they don't feel right but not sure what exactly
Gods worst ammo economy
Because yall hitting the DS perc
No.
Psyker had a Knife, i had a TacAxe and the Veteran had a Chainaxe.
No Duelling Sword necessary.
Hipfire is ass
Damage so inconsistent even I’m not bothered to list breakpoints for it
Headshot dependent
I actually don’t think ammo is that big of a deal, just the damage consistency needs to be way higher
If it had similar breakpoints as smth like boltpistol the ammo count is fine
Essentially, the Kickback is what a shotgun should be like.
The Combat Shotguns are not like that.
Also we need better sound design on it
I don't hear it racking
We don't even rack it
Shotgun magic
Having more damage on the weakspots with a shotgun is.. not really what a shotgun should do.
Many thanks good Sir
Shotguns blow people's guts out and throws them to the next hab
The thing is
Ammo efficiency is basically equal to damage
And I think what combat shotguns lack are ammo efficiency, not ammo pool
Considering fuckers can live through a plasma blast I'm assuming their guts are GONE
I don’t think any gun has outrageously low ammo pool, but a lot of them aren’t that great in ammo efficiency (which is often done for balance and it’s not done terribly imo)
Combat shotguns are by far the worst in that regard
They live through a plasma blast because the game difficulty requires it to be so.
Nerd
It just is what more HP does.
what perk affects daemonhosts
(dont ask why i must ask this)
i think its unyielding?
but ammo pool is somewhat equal to ammo efficiency. higher pool means higher pickups
so each individual shot has less cost
I write that as "ammo sustain"
separate from "ammo efficiency"
that sounds like hair splitting to me
because there's 1 gun with really high ammo efficiency but bad ammo sustain
What ranged weapons are good/get better by paring them with the falter blessing of the shock maul?
falter on shock maul only helps shock maul
Is it bugged?
no
I remember there being talk about falter, Hot Shot and Lethal Proximity being blessings you could put on a few of the ranged weapons, that would help other aspects of your build
Falter goes mostly on ranged weapons, but somehow the shock maul also has it but its description is identical even though it's a melee weapon.
It's just a fatshark moment.
Hmm, I am pretty certain that there was a shock maul blessing that was referred to as one of those "unique blessings". Might have been theory's that it would help ranged weapons when people saw the description. I no joke got the tip about faulter being able to help ranged weapons from this server, Ibelive it was in Jan or Feb.
Well, if it is a FatShark moment..
Yeah they just ported the description of ranged weapons when falter was sent to Smaul
It would be cool if we had more blessings that interacted with other things than the weapon they are stuck to
Well you'd think that, if you believed fatshark's lies, but I field tested it myself once and saw no noticeable difference in ranged stagger between falter on maul vs no falter on maul
Makes sense, I must have been hearing about it before lot's of people had tested it/knew it not to be true
There must be some juicy weapon combos for the Hellbore with Hot Shot? I can imagine the Heavy Sword would benefit from it?
Maybe even the combat axes? Or do they get to much cleave then?
If combined with deathblow/brutal momentum^^
Not really tbh lol
Combat Axes yeah
Shovel must benefit from it, it has nice wide arcs for headshots
You could suddenly kill 6 or more trash horde
Instead of the casual 4
And yeah Hotshot Shovel is a thing
Wdym
On antax or something? Cuz on Rashad it won't do anything
Yes it would
1.5 base cleave
1.25 mass reduced by 80% is 0.25
0.25 times 6 is 1.5
So the first 4 targets takes full damage
The 5th target takes 2nd target damage
2nd target damage is pretty high on Rashad
6th target takes 3rd target damage
Oh right it's the achlys that has less than 1 cleave
Still wouldn't bother with it
The build to make it work is going to be very fucking ass to play
For what. So you can hit two extra poxxers, maybe?
Headtaker sends that cleave to ~1.8
0.25 times 7 is 1.75
Times 8 is 2
Now the thing is
What's the minimum cdd for Rashad
The 3rd target damage with Headtaker is ~200
And I have no info on the 4th target damage
So it either defaults to 33 or 66
Or the third target damage is the minimum, which is pretty high so I assume it's not
Realistically you prob won't get that much utility given the attack angles


On top of all the shitty compromises you'll need to make on the talent tree
i just got out of a mort trial and the rng gods blessed me with pinpoint volley and every single damage buff i can imagine
idk what to say other than i busted so hard when i hit round 12
What?
It's pretty easy

All you need is information that isn't present in-game
I've also tried shovel hotshot and it felt like ass too
falter only helps the weapon it's equipped on
and its tooltip in game is pretty bad
I kinda don't care
it's entirely dependent on BM
Figured you'd say that

My best guest is that it would default to ~66 at the 4th target
Or 33
which malice maps have a daemonhost
every fucking map i play on doesnt
tryna get a clip of oneshotting a daemonhost
more likely on higher difficulty
might as well use the mod to spawn creatures in psykhanium
can only hit bossbreakpoints on lower
not as fun
pray
It's rng with more chances of spawning at higher diffs
The alternative is
Lights Out missions
There's like 3 DH there
oh
thought it was guaranteed 1 on malice, 2 on heresy, 3 on damnation
There's at least 1 guaranteed boss at Damnation
Then you either roll for a second boss or a patrol
What is a patrol, mechanically?
is that when you get the big value multipack of crushers?
Yes that's one of the fifteen patrol comps iirc
If they aren't aggro'd you can hear their march and chant
dude that's a bad idea
if you wanna make a video clip
then you don't want it to be all dark
When a horde spawns it aggros present enemies, patrols included
The scariest patrol is the Reaper patrol
You get like 6+ Reapers
Not much of an issue if you run into it, but if it catches you unawares.. yeah.
Oh yeah they removed bulwark patrols comp
Woe 6 shields upon ye
yep that's very much a "I hope I saw them before they saw me" situation
It is one scary sound when they all rack up their guns at the same time
Bulwark stack is the absolute best
Specially with the invisible shield hit box
they actually become scary
got it 
an interesting form of one shotting
okay bad wording on my part but yk what i mean now lol
i dont think theres a build for any class in the game that has a build capable of oneshoting a boss with a ranged weapon
well yeah
i mean kill a boss with one magazine
but i mean one bullet just now
i just had bad wording on my part previously, meant in one magazine
Yeah, that'd probably not be particularly healthy for the game if you could lol
probably not lmao
eh, you used to be able to do a monster without reloading on achlys twin stubber
with burny PBB
but part of it was using your ability to autoreload lol
maybe perfectionism gunker can do it with a vraks 5 or some other massive bosskiller?
might be
best build i have is on what i just showed though
best build i know of atleast
you need to use executioners stance and a combat stim together. you can oneshot a demonhost if you get enough headshots on malice, as for heresy i dont know and i doubt on damnation
Oh it's in malice
youll still have good boss damage otherwise but you wont be able to magdump a boss and kill it within one mag
yeah i wasnt able to make a build that could within one mag on any higher difficulty
i could probably try with something with focus target
this can be made better for boss killing
yeah taking focus target helps
actually removes the need for a combat stim
nah
take red nodes
marksman + CQKZ
and FTE
no reason to take born leader if u go exe stance
oh shit i completely forgot about red nodes
hold on
veteran only shot one magazine? isn't that one shot? ogryn is confused...
@worthy terrace let me work on the build more before you do anything
i can probably improve it alot i forgot about alot of important nodes
this is without unyielding perk btw
what difficulty?
damnation scaling
60k unyielding health
hell yeah
definitely stealing this
love trying new builds so thank you
same bolter run this instead
oneshots on damnation
well, yk what i mean by oneshot
GBITF is ass
Wait so path.exe is this is no longer the way to go for exec stance bolter?
And don't take 8 stacks
I have smth a little bit diff rn but overall core is the same
Ah ok do u mind sharing the updated build?
?????
Rending is also not worth on bolter
this is with tac axe 2/7 + boltgun
always has been
this didn't have 8 stacks fyi
no better node came to mind to get honestly
Especially not at the expense of redirect fire
both other picks are better lol
True
What melee are u using to need the stam regen node?
yeah what the fuck does GBITF stand for
Get back in the fight
Catch a Breath>>>>>>gbitf
havent decided yet
Then why stam regen node?
@strange crow this one is not made for boss bursting (no red nodes)
i will change it in a minute bro
if u want to burst boss, swap back to heavy sword, drop 3 points on right, and get marksman
I don't think boss burst is worth that much for base game
Agreed
u usually don't get long enough dps window to 1 mag boss
and u don't need marksman to 2 mag bosses if u get dps windows
if you know of a build that doesnt require exe stance then you could use voc to get that window
or just nade
but it's not that worth most of the time
bosses are not threatening enough in base game
It's very funny though
find nades to be too inconsistent sometimes
no, u just need to understand the stagger radius
frag can only stagger boss in its blast center (~2m radius)
so u frag at ur feet and wait for boss to get close to u
This is why Bounty Hunter in VT2 with his "fak off gun" was class
HOLY JUSTICE
TWICE THE GLORY
DEAD, NOT ALIVE
FALL FOUL ABOMINATION
okay ig i just have a skill issue then
SIGMAR BLESS THIS SHOT
i might try a stealth build honestly
FACE HOLY RETRIBUTION

@tall torrent got a stealth vet node build?
i dont know shit about stealth for vet
whats wrong with stealth vets?
okay sure im bored though
either i get hired, or i play stealth vet because im bored 
Turn 1 aggro dump
Turn 1 aggro dump
And once again for good sake
Turn 1 aggro dump
I love agro dump!!!!
I love being slotted!!!!
(if you know this icon youre probably old)
nah whats worse stealth vets or stealth zealots
ive never really had any serious issues with either really so
in game atleast
Stealth zealots are often associated with speedrunner loner goes down once and quit zealot
Sally moment
okay what about stealth vets
from my experience they just seem generally ass at the game
die to hordes bad
So real
But grenadier
its hard being the protagonist in a world of bots
I had a havoc 40 pub look at a teammate's build said "are you a real person?" Then jump off the map
demonlition stockpile/team (if on havoc)
I always take those as well
Close
was it this build?
#veteran-class message
Instead of left it was middle vet
yeah i would not give up 2 nodes just for 1 extra grenade
I fw the aesthetic
I accept the lowest levels to my havoc 40 because they are always the funniest
The babies
whats funny about them
Being clueless
And them trying to explain things they don't understand
how did a level one even have access to the terminal
"if we back up man... They gonna fuck us with those bulwarks"
That guy was really fun
havoc lvl 1
oh
thats reminds me of that one fresh 30 vet explaining to me why i should wait for FT stacks to build up to 8 before pinging
i dont know enough about spawning and maps to actually do havoc 40s publically
Lol
The babies
i didnt even say anything, neither before or after. he just started mansplaining me
not worth 2 points
People actually try to explain the game to me mid clutch
im too impatient for that shit ngl anyway
All the time
partially why i rarely take FT
u shouldnt wait anyway, ping enmemy, kill enemy, ping next enemy
It is if I'm pathing through to invis anyway
no spam needed, one ping after the other
I take it for pathing
when youre using smoke and planning to go WS, stealth looks mighty convenient
every zealot that rushes ahead is just
goes ahead:
gets downed:
ping spam on themselves for you to revive them:
leaves after dying:
sometimes before
