bring an extra veteran with voc 
All roads lead to shoutbox
exe is same point cost as VoC (u don't need any subnode for it) but it's not that great atm
does scale super well for boltgun
infiltrate is paying 2 points to not play VoC
I'm just going to have to consign my exec build to never leaving damnation and calling it a day.
Thats the reason why EStance can kinda fly under the radar but obviously its not better than VOC
its not as taxing
nah if you wanna play exec, become good enough to make it worthwhile
Auric/Havoc EStance goes hard
also @faint beacon brahms
Feels like it only ever gets value when the AI director spawns a shitload of ranged specialists to constantly feed exec stance, and only on the assumption that they aren't all actively shooting at you, and without anyone running up behind you to distract
reminding me I have to play Mortis Trials for the lore later
it's pretty great for arbites' penances
Haven't touched Mortis yet. Is it possible to solo?
Or do you have to actually get a party for it
team mode
Oh god
ah shit i got disarmed
Just join the randoms and hope they don't all get netted right before the DH spawns 
hold on a minute
like, it shows the vest in the middle window, but on the left you can see its a different armor
I've seen a lot of cosmetics with disappearing limbs since the patch lol
instead of the bandana it shows the krieg gas mask for some reason
You can try "solo" with the bots
But afaik
Bots don't scale well on Mortis
And they hog all medicae
1 dclaw bot vet
Versus
A Mauler with 7k hp
Wut
Enemies have hp scaling on Morits? That would explain a lot...
5th worse would be...the best
Thats what ogryns says
Yeah, don't expect to solo higher than malice. Oggy can try harder but need 'nade luck.
Just too much hp to deal with alone.
The bodyguard ogryn was right, there are thieves about
It is funny that female savant is the only one that asks
how do I take trench fighter drill for caxe with recon lasgun
Did we get a kasyr skin yet?
oh wow I just realised Sedition got removed
Drop the keystone, it isn't *that * good
Go WS
wdym
Weapon Specialist, the right hand side keystone. I guess you could also drop Rending Strikes to get it.
I maintain that you should go for a keystoneless build.
Keystoneless, or base keystone only and grabbing a point elsewhere.
FT recon melts, but is better to just hope other vet has it.
And that's considering plasma wasn't nerfed yet xddd
Vet got buffed
Anything for him specific?
Yea, helbore buff is huge
Helbore IIIa and IV are basically top 2 ranged now
Just remembered
I can't believe they actually made the devil's claw a real weapon
Gonna bring those in havoc once I reach 40 again
In my last months I saw nobody use it
Very top ngl
"Now" implies they weren't before
(totally not biased opinion on Helbore)
Wait so this sword is actually good now?

Good
Yea they weren’t
No lol flak ADM still abysmal
still ass into flak, but it's like
usable now
Gun
not contender for worst melee weapon in the game anymore
Hold on hold on
Was that
but still definitively low tier
yeah
no
that's Mk VII
Mk I has an overhead after L3 now tho
and goes into L3 after parries
Oh ok
Still is
The move set reminded me of mk1
I don't think chainsword is even in the same category as it when it comes to bad weapons anymore
chainsword is distinctly a tier below this
and this is not that great
It should take 2 if both of your parries crit
which it's a devil's claw sword you're running shred
that's gonna happen
more than not at all
Nah flak ADM is really what’s holding it back
Fight 20 Dreg bruisers forever
Then again you're waiting to get hit
I mean yeah in game it'd be a fair bit harder to time parries because god knows if a trash mob is ognna decide to do a 2 frame jab into your face
Or if the rumbler is rumbling
In a vacuum it's okay. In game it might be questionable due to the reliance on the parry for single target damage
I do still think this puts Devil's Claw in the same boat as most other low tiers like the shovels though
Mk1 moment
That is being better than the Chainsword
2nd blessing on helbore after surgical?
shovel is fun vs hordes
Falter / hotshot / WoF
Which mark?
Imagine if they added bleeding to chainsword by default
Probably 4
🤤
Helbore4 defs weight of fire
Is hotshot still flukey?
Yeah so when you take 10 hits to kill one dreg rager they'll take bleed damage from all your pathetic swings
Any melee that shine with hotshot 1?
So true!!!
Anything that wants extra cleave and can hit a lot of weakspots in one attack
Thanks!
God I am still astonished at how bad the Chainsword's damage is
Wasn't sure if it would impact rashad with bm.
I know that Rashad sounds weird for this hotshot 1 combo
But basically let's you deal damage to 6 horde enemies
I think falter has highest consistent value overall for helbore
With at least 5 dying on the spot
Being able to stagger reaper out of their volley is pretty huge
Have a preference between 3a and 4?
I'll give it a shot.
Is the Mk4 bayonet able to stagger Ragers now?
IV is really good at chunking big targets and hits breakpoints way easier
However it’s also like, way slower for reactionary shooting so you basically lock urself into playing focus target / marksman’s focus
Whereas IIIa can sorta be played with WS if you want to melee a lot
Thank you all for the advice. Wish they had a light extended weapon customization mod.
god I love marksman's focus helbore 4
only playstyle I could ever need
Just want my ilas sites.
Definitely makes situational awareness easier.
I do like Vigi's sights
yeah I do this with weapon customization mod
that and Graia irons
@unreal nova vet is fixed, rework delayed until 2030
I saw.
best sight in the entire game
just another reason why the laspistol is the SSS tier 11/10 best ranged weapon
Cos same thing, custom highlights for all.
I assume DD would be the same if it were shared.
And you just doggo the DD target.
I was expecting that Focus target bug to stay for months
Who is this new dev team and what have they done with Fatshark?
Need them to fix mesh streaming bug for Linux and vostroyan skin for helbore
They really want your money this time
Then I’m happy with the update
It's because Arby's couldn't play with vets
Not because of vet itself

I guess enough complains hit hard enough.
Holding back on spending for the witch hunter vet and zealot cosmetics
Zealot’s set is easier to pair with other stuff
Who do I have to scream at to fix the Voidblast staff radius? 
Commissar looking coat.
When staff CTDs everyone on demand, I guess.
"Can't do stairs!" anguished cry.
If you're precise enough with the barrel explosion, you can have a similar effect 
Start a rumor that it crashes arbites.
Appreciate the fashion advice, but I also dress up like this lol
I already have sets I like for all 4 of my guys so I didn’t get any of the new ones
Got the new arbites set tho
Coat is nice
Coat nice on vet as well.
I need a good helbore skin, then I'm set.
Just ex.
I only have the commissar and 2nd steel legion set for my vet
All ex.
The bolter skin looks sick though
Cannot lie the inquisitor drip goes hard
The difficulty changes have me a bit confused.
I was playing like diff 3-4 before usually, was starting to dabble in diff 5.
Now diff 5 is diff 4?
Yeah
how many does rashad take out by itself
They killed Sedition and Auric Heresy
So you have
Uprising, Malice, Heresy, Damnation, Auric
It stops there because 1.25-1.5 times 4 is higher than Rashad's 1.5 cleave
No wonder Damnation felt easier this time, it's basically the old Heresy.
I am not happy either but I understand because a big issue was players felt too separated and with this system players will be more united
Which annoys. I know many ppl who liked auric heresy.
Old system confused me even more so I get it, but I was just starting to get the old one and it changed now lol.
So with an 80% reduction
1.25 becomes 0.25
1.5 becomes 0.3
Now 0.25 times 6 is 1.5
So Rashad kills 4 targets due to BM
The 5th target takes second target damage, which should be enough to kill it
And the 6th target takes like 99% of their hp
Sorry understood none of that lol, I'll remember 4 and 6 though
🫡
Do people already know which guns are going to be strongest on Arbiter, or have good builds figured out already, or will time simply tell?
Hi! Would the Chainaxe be a good substitute for the dueling sword regarding carapace enemies? The duelling sword is kinda boring lol
Idk, which means that I have to tell you to ask #arbites-class
Yes

Dope its so fuckin badass
You also have knife
And if you feel like hating your wrists
Tactical Axe
Although tac axe is eugh
yeah the clicking is what gets me
and not having a badass chainsaw
you're the #1 taxe hater right
it is indeed how it works
Still have to test the recent buffs though
Isn't knife the same wrist-wise since you're just clicking heads non-stop?
I could be using knife wrong.
Ah okay, yeah I do that, but everything else I'm just spam clicking face until it dies.
Although
I gotta check the Mk4 taxe buff
The heavies should be better on that one
Finally
Any classes got fire resistance or something for this flame event I could use?
Especially Veteran.
you could slap resistance onto curios 
Oh yeah. 
No, Damnation is still Damnation. Same as it was before
Oh, surprised I cleared Damnation with flame modifier on my poorly built Arbiter.
It felt pretty easy.
Arbiter OP 
Could be. 
The shotgun is pretty great.
Also the impact grenades that refresh every 60 seconds are pretty nutty.
I just toss them at a problem to solve it.
Horde, boss, ogryns, whatever.
My onlu complaint is, I've been grinding since yesterday when the class dropped and every single game has been 4x arbiter. 
Lol, it'll settle in time
impact nades are nice but honestly not as strong as i thought they'd be
this frigen bug
The idea was they shouldn't be stronger than shredders
Because they are spammier
yeah makes sense
Real question; can they stagger crusher/bulwark/mauler/boss?
prob mauler, not sure about the rest
Ok; can they open a bulwark?
haven't tested
i was too busy doing the stupid level grind
and hadn't unlocked the upgraded version of the nade yet
Yes, all
Yes
OP it is
oof that's pretty nice

I don’t think it’s op
60s regen
It’s not like veteran where u have demo team for extra regen
Still; stagger on demand 5 times on reliable regen
seems balanced ig
Ye; pretty op in my book
It’s good, wouldn’t call it op
Op would be shock mine
Yet to test it againts bigger crouds
It’s busted
i haven't even used it yet, utterly pointless at sedation
it's so dumb how i have to spend 8 hours leveling up yet another character to 30
should give bonus xp or some shit if you already have other level 30 chars
I like the mines
It’s kinda better than smite
Doesn’t take away ur dps
No peril mechanic going on
Peril dosen’t matter on smite unless you charge and release at 100%
otherwise never overload
Does nice dps wdym 
But personally; i want the mine arcs to be more… bombastic
Everytime i throw one i feel like i’m tossing one of those plasma balls
The lengthy deploy time is for balance
It’s still way too good
Impact nade is slightly better for specific scenarios
You can play with it like it was nintendo 
has the accatran combat shotty always been a mini sniper when ADSing or is this a buff moment
Just keep pressing left click 
alt fire on the accatran combat shotty still feels like "why would i use this" but the shotty kinda fucked in this match i was in
It’s still mid at best
Use the fire slug when you see a boss
accuracy wise? yes
is this a breakpoint thing
Shoot twice, swap to melee/shoot normal shells to the face
Well
shotguns been inconsistent
This buff doesn’t address that inconsistency
The other 2 got bigger damage buffs that actually matter at least a little bit
i see i see
i wanna try out the other shotties but i only have a zarona
and the mentioned accatran
U can switch marks
still felt nice to use seeing vet is a forgotten about class and it isnt a recon las, bolt rifle, or plasma rifle
Best vet gun is helbore now
one day fatshark will remember call of dooty class
i dont have the brain for helbore
I don’t think it’s IV tho
I think IIIa is overall best
IV is super restrictive
aka i dont like charging
Nah; takes a proper build & personal skill
i just wanna blam
Hel ye it is 
theres only like two builds lol
and theyre all shout
I have more
nice!
That is unfortunate
now to see about the shock maul (my love) buffs
Still a Helbore w
But the same we can say about every class exept arbites cause new
Arbites is basically zealot but with build variety
it seems cool. has a dog
but im poor for now so we're sticking with call of dooty ma'am
Is that the middle one?
The dog is hit or miss for me
plus arbites has no gaelic voice so thats an immediate aura lost
Yea
Real
I'm broke

They need to fix the burster interactions tbh
They just hotfixed
Nice! Had a dog Tk half the team on Havoc lmao
if im rocking voice do i really need iron will
Such a good boy
Yes, non-negotiable
word
yes sir book writer sir
at least i think youre the one who wrote the vet book
Nah thats path
This is bath
I heard that the void shields for twins / lieutenant bosses are considered flak, is that true?
Untrue
Really?
Void shield is its own armor type (7th armor type)
Ah ok
And every attack has a void shield ADM
That makes sense
However this is usually not super relevant because scab contains and cult champions have really strict damage gate per hit
Even if you stack brittleness on them?
Yes, doesn’t matter
Oof
Scab captains are flak armor but the voidshield isn't
How much?
The best way to deal with void shield is to max out on the damage gate then hit them really quickly
For example, chain weapons’ saw rip attacks
It scales based on difficulty
I have no idea what's actually best against the voidshield but I've noticed the shock maul's special attacks do a lot of damage against them.
Chaxe #1 cap killer
Taxe best bubble killer
How much in h40 then?
810
Surprisingly potent at that
Nah
Not remotely as good as combat axe
Tac axe won’t even hit the damage gate
Not even with deci?
Best I think is eviscerator?
Um… what about hp gate before new shield pops up?
Specifically for cracking void shield
What about Vet 💀
Forgot
Combat axe
Or
The slightly funnier pick
Helbore bayonet (stab)
really Rashad? Better than Chaxe lights?
I’ll have to test some stuff out later with it then
Another reason why helbore is S tier then 
Chainaxe is rly fast
It has room for improvement
Substantial room for improvement, even
Shock maul’s special is also apparently pretty fast
Haven’t checked
But then again it’s shock maul
Not great outside of Arbites
So for like, actual picks, it’s mostly combat axe / helbore bayonet stab
Arby’s was doing great with shock maul when I ran it on Havoc for cap shields
Best arbites melee seems to be Rashad
Do with that information how u will

If u spec emperor’s fist + 25% impact u can open bulwark with heavy overhead on weakspot
(This stagger breakpoint is also available from zealot’s grievous wounds)
Arby’s can run pretty much anything and be unkillable
Fully expected that
Casual Evis w
Thunder hammer?
Rachad in normal board, crusher in havoc
bubble has a damage cap, thunder hammer goes way way past it it's pretty bad for bubble popping
Was thinking about twins bubble
Telling me....

Doods, how's buffed Helbore?
Watch Fatalist + Cutthroat interaction by Galeophobia and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal. Tags: Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, Warhammer, 40,000:
Dumpstat for plasma?
71-72 charge, 69-68 thermal
damn, harder to get those stats than one with full dump...
@tired egret
Odds are the same. But also... just get it straight away?
what do you mean just get it straight away
RNG from brunts is random not like I can predicts the percenteges
with enough skill it's shrimple
Bruh
How's buffed Helbore?
I don't have skills to influence the game mechanic yet
unlucky
people say it's one of the best vet weapons now
Any talents, perks and blessings recommendation?
.
Path states best ranged weapon on vet
Always has been

Is Recon build still usable?
Yeah I mean recon is still one of the best guns in the game lol
no changes to it so yeah
I guess i'll play some veteran
lets balance those lobbies with some non-arbites classes lol
Whats the new meta for veteran? Seems like most things work now (idk about Auric, i just play damnation)
recon allways good I guess
What is the dump stat for helbore?
I'd say stability
how do people build taxe on vet
where can I post this?
They throw it on the dumpster and set it on fire
Probably the same CRIT builds
With the melee talents
And even some stamina delay nodes
What's the best weapon for twins? is it still plasma like it was long ago?
trying auric but I need something better since my teammates die a lot on this
and after that? I don't have any money to buy ATG or even want to use anything that uses bullets
kk
wait so wtf is plasma for
Thought it was great against bosses
Always has been
50 cleave 1 shot machine
its mainly used to shoot log sized projectiles with massive cleave at specialists and elites hiding behind densely armored mobs
Damn my reality has been shattered
It's "screw this direction" the gun
can I throw my build in here so I can get tips on what to change? or that's against rules or something
Weapon special keystone with stamina Regen on ranged kill, used to maintain mk7's push attack spam horde clwar
Go for it
You using a las weapon?
recon
swap these
You have the reload node on keystone, which could be switched to the crit chance node for better ammo eco
Other then that, looks good
Oh wait
Reload node?
there are better nodes for recon lasgun
This
It can be
oh, it's easy to use tho no need to ping people
Where was I
Oh right
Plasma for bosses
Blaze Away Optimized Cooling
You get 11-12 shots
Go for it
clicked wrong?
Funny how it got a minor change and "omg this weapon actually does damage now?"
still got 1 point leftover
yea, gonna take that one, could allways use that bonus dmg against crushers and plauge ogryns/beasts
one more question, wouldn't krak grenades be better in this situation since this is recon build?
Could even remove keystone to get that crit chance node again
Varies
Krak is anti ogryn and boss stagger
Shredder is anti horde and horde stagger
What do you want?
gonna stick with shredder
can allways two-three shot ogryns with dueling
Time to bring it again to auric twins
Is it now on the board?
Campaign
Dman
I think you can farm those after completing whole campaign
but I'm not sure since I haven't got there yet
I can use a teammate for those
tried 2 times with randoms that don't know you gotta move under fans
Lucky, wish my had latin back in the day
The only one I remember
And the human ones of course
But not all of them
Do I remember any plants

I cast krak grenade upon this heathen, ahh
It is not.
But also it is.
It will just put almost every mission in some sort of order that makes sense
ahh ill go again then i do love me some more lore
I did like 4 missions of the campaign
They are absolutely the same for arbites and for rejects
Only the intro is different
holy shit they gave me some drip price is kind of much tho
Maybe in changes later
@rose reef In that case it shouldnt really do much.
The cutscenes should really only play as you level up and you cant do that anymore
And every mission that is part of that "campaign" will have a cutscene at the end
eisenhorns fit does go hard
just call me gregor fr
(which is stupid by the way, something we have to manually skip when you have seen it once)
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME we play that mission now
Please.
been in the discord for over a year, still dont have the convict/media share role
lol
How completely entirely fucking stupid is the average redditor where they are whining about the plasma gun in 2025
Reddit and smart?
“UNLIMITED CLEAVE!!!!”
Sorry if im just missing the obvious where to look for this, but coming back to the game after a long ass time, dueling sword looks cool, what stats should I roll for?
Mobility dump stat
Dump Mobility
Oh dang, is it not good for fighting?
no jsut mobility is the dump stat on 95% of all weapons
Oh lol my bad
bc after 51% it literally doesnt matter
80% is the cap, you want mobility to be the one at 60%
Oh my god, im sorry my brain made dump stat backwards, thought it was the one I wanted to dump everything in
4 can be 80 with one at 60, the 60 is the "dump" stat
Goes for almost every weapon.
there are some wild exclusions but are weapon specific, and most of the weird options are on psyker
That makes my life way easier
bc math
Im a lasgun fanatic, im assuming no weird ones there?
nope
hte only thing on vet would be some shenanigans with the knife, but i cant remember what those all were
Then I think yall gave me everything I needed to know to start gambling rolling my weaps 😅 Thanks
Knifes lack the satisfying presence I crave anyways
I was running power sword long ago
there are also some weird cases with the defense stat
Final roll
You should know however that the Duelling Sword will probably get a significant nerf in the future
very soon
i've wanted it to be pulled down even when it was pysker specific
I mostly picked it cause of my old saltzpyre gaming days with the poker, odds that itll feel kinda unplayable?
back then i always felt that itf it went to another class it would get nerfed
Would yall reccomend like, heavy sword or chain sword instead? obv I like swords lol
imo chainsword, bit im giga biased
i dont like heavy swords
but i'll at least be honest about that
Hey I dont mind a bias lol
Im biased towards swords and las, long as we know the bias is there
chainsword has more sword per sword
Just vibes preference or are the heavy swords feel iffy
When youre right youre right
What swords the best at cleaving hordes would you say
it's all feel
i jsut dont like how ti feels
Very very fair
I cant reasonably afford arbites rn, but eventually im very excited to play it, seems so fun
chainsword can cleave through whole horde if you stack up on the blessing that gives + cleave
see that's the wild part, i think it is fun to play, but im not enjoying it
if that makes sense
So ill probably not invest in this dueling sword yet, thinking alot about chain but I disliked it before cause it felt like I just bit into every target and couldnt glide through a horde, its what I liked about power sword way back but it does not feel that way anymore
Nah it does
There is nothing really wrong with the Duelling Sword in terms of movement set or anything
Maybe its best I cant get arb rn, let it have some time to ferment
Its just.. very much overtuned
witht he right blessings chainswords carve mobs
Okay well thats just my luck lmao
I didnt like it then just cause of that, is there a build for it I can try and copy
Wrath + Rampage should make you go thrugh Hordes easily
plus 200% cleave on full stacks
who needs combos when mashing left click is enough
and plus 36% constant dmg in horde
...does discarding a weapon still sell it or do I need to go to someone to sell it
Grazie, I swear it used to tell you how much money you were gonna get back
Las gun dump stats, are they different enough I should seek out a guide somewhere, or is it there a universal easy one like mobi stat dump
hmmm
My eyes
You have been anointed with blindness
So the strongest Veteran weapons are recon lasgun, plasma gun, anything else?
Also, with recon lasgun, can any melee work with it, or do I need something that can deal with havily armoured enemies?
Helbore
I love the Helbore, but really?
helbore can be annoying to use tbf
Yeah
Recent buffs just solidified it as top tier vet gun
plasma gun, boltgun/pistol are contenders tho
Specially Mk3a
Technically hellbores now.
Forgot to press send lul.
I gave it a try for one mission today, the changes felt nice but didn't think it would make it top tier, that's interesting.
if i remembor correctly crits go through armor so any type of crit build can be good
a maxed bolt pistol on a weakpoint(headshot) on a mauler does around 577 dmg which is 1/5th of their health and a weakpoint crit does 1065
deadshot, all range crit chance nodes, surgical, enhanced crit weakpoint dmg weapon buff, executioner stance can buff your crit chance and dmg
Does that mean I gotta change this build?
play with what ya like
I like Helbore.
if ya want better damage* get exe stance
VoC is good for survivability as if you have relics w/ +30% tough regen as you basically regen over-toughness instantly
Oh, didn't know that, pretty cool.
id use VoC if you dont have a ogryn in the team
if you have all your relics equipped with +30% T regen, you have +90% toughness regen
i believe there is a hard cap to how fast you can regen toughness though
as it averages 1-0.5 seconds to start the regen with said +90%
I got +5% roughness, toughness regen, and ability regen speed.
passive toughness regen is useless
whats the best weapon atm for vetran
i.e. coherency toughness regen
ah lol
coherancy toughness can be a pain in the ass
that every class has in its talents to restore toughness actively
No
It is not
It is useless
So...+30% toughness regen speed...bad?
Yes
Power Sword 6
Rashad
Dueling Sword 4
Knife 6
Heavy Sword 9
What should I replace it with?
Helbore 3
Plasma
Zarona revolver
Bolter
Recon lasgun
Vraks5
I have toughness, ability cooldown reduction and stamina regen on my curios
ability CD reduction is fun
Some will want to have some type of damage resistance on it
And that is fair enough, really
By all means, it will at least give you something
but i rather avoid the damage all-together
is that best to worst listed
or just random order
it looks to be best to worst
Random order
But top tiers
and all zealots ive seen run revolver and knife/duelling sword
Revolver Knife DS is too much single target
so whats the current best ranged and best melee
but ya gotta play with what ya like, if you find something thats extremely niche and you enjoy it i say go for it.
Lemme see what path says
Decided to try difficulty above damnation or whatever.
Instantly get tox gas map mod.
Fuck my life.
lol quickplay?
Yeah I always just hit quickplay.
so funnily enough, while helbore can oneshot crushers with exe stance and crit headshot, bolt pistol does around 2036 dmg which is almost a oneshot
Bistol problems tbh.
4k dmg on a unyielding unarmoured headshot with max surgical and deadly accurate is crazy
ye
Howd I just get yelled at for being a "stupid veteran fuck who cant read" cause I was shooting alot during a no ammo pickups mission
I literally never stopped firing the whole match, and never dropped below 400 ammo 😭
recon rifle?
Lasbore
bro must not have played veteran then
Playing arbites, screamed his head off over the mic at me, saying how im dogshit, cant read, gonna just chain die the moment I ran outa ammo ect ect
Started shooting barrels I was near
Its been a minute since I played a game with teammates this childish, we won incredibly easily
happens sometimes
Did I find the most toxic player in the game or does this shit just happen
Bad players are bad, more so if you had survivalist+shocktroop.
though rarely find anyone with a mic these days
He said nothing except flame, he was silent until like 10 mins in to scream, and used it for nothing but that
Yessir, I had an ammo surplus of 500 by the end lol
Ive had a player yell on mic at me only once over the course of the last 2 years of playing, so i'd say its pretty rare lol
always good to have shocktroop with survi in a no ammo mission
Youd sure think that, and im on a helbore, I fired to kill elites and elites I did kill
There were just alot lol
Thus, no reason to rage. I mean, you weren't even spamming I need ammo.
no one mics up in this game so u got unlucky lol
I pinged it by accident 1 time and its like I kicked bros cyber mastif 😭
I blame FS ping system for it tbh.
Yeah I gotta rebind it or something, still wouldnt think hearing an I need ammo 1 time would start having a man actively troll and scream at me 💀
Taste in mouth after that is bad enough I gotta take a break from the game lol
It happens.
Is the combat shotgun good now
sorta
The real challenge of using Helbore in my experience is lining up a headshot while everyone's grenades/melees/dogs/abilities/etc. staggers the shit out of what you're trying to shoot.
Also even though it was off to a shaky start, completed my first auric mission with that gas modifier.
Wdym
That or we have to make fucking infernus builds
Just use frags
Shoe horned back into one build for Pus hardened
Or dots
pain
final toll enemies
or rampaging

Rampaging actually theoretically gives around 90% Ranged DR
with Pus
Rampaging + Pus hardened Reapers that refuse to move away from a ranged location
Smoke would be handy in those situations.
ranged resistant enemies
Not resistant to dots
Use dots
Dots can't burst
Final toll enemies

just noticed that if people are only looking for arbites to join their games
for havoc
"were cooked" ahh missions
@faint beacon how is the hellbores and combat shotguns now?
does the curios i have matter
As long as it’s not wounds it’s good
cus cant any one be upgrade to max power and have the blessing re rolled
Sadly no
ok i thought you could from the menu
oh
u can change the perk
but not the blessing?
im guessing on ogrin id want... toughness? ability regen?
It’s mainly dependent on what you prefer, gunner res, stam regen, sprint efficiency is what I go for
Toughness and health is good as well
i feel like i def need more toughness
my toughness dies way to fast
it realy annoys me u cant un equip them
Paraphrasing Path
Helbore best ranged weapon, casual Helbore W
Helbore Sweep
Try gunner res
Which variant and what talents are we saying are best on it now
And
hotshot with the improved hitbox

love how last few updates evey class but vetrans got a new weapon and this time still the same nothing new for vetrans
On top of that DS/PG getting nerfed
:(
Ay, did my first Auric Maelstrom! ;D
Man that difficulty was "woah that was unfortunate timing on that combo" heaven.
Would dodge a trapper net by side stepping, only to side step into a sniper shot.
And in this case due to the map modifier, would dodge 5 mutants only to get grabbed by the 6th one. 
I’m only starting to get comfortable on damnation I’m probably gonna get mauled whenever I try auric maelstrom
I was trying to get comfortable in damnation but it kinda happened in one day, yesterday. So I've decided to just move up to the next tier.
the games ai director sometimes does say "fuck you in particular" by sending 2 bombers, a charger, a trapper, flamer after you
or if your in inferno, 4 flamers, 2 chargers, 2 bombers
Look at ya, how much progress you've gotten in a week
I'm so proud 
is it normal to get 1 hit crusher slam as vet in high havocs or am i building something wrong?
Yes it is
Psyker too
Arbites grenade is a straight upgrade compared to the vet frag grenade. Change my mind.
yes
In Havoc, everything does extra corruption damage so the overhead + corruption is instantly killing you
crushers and maulers are meant to go through your toughness
I used to play braindead zealot and vet seems a lot of work
and the above overhead corruption
vets alot of fun when you invest into them
their just being outshone by every other class atm
used to be ogryn pre rework
arbites rn has the survivability that vet lacks
Doesn’t have the radius or bleed procs
ogryn is even more braindead but yes if you mess up on vet once or twice youre cooked
arbites is also a impact nade
its good against single target and smaller hordes
mostly meant for stagger imo
does it stagger monstrosities
vets frag nade with the radius and dmg upgrade is rlly good
not sure
thats brocken
i got tired of levelling up my arbites as it takes twice as long as it did pre battle for tertium
yes
ye
yea its 5 pocket staggers on 60s cooldown
Oh, we had like 3-4 occassions of 2-3 bombers coming at us in groups.
more reliable than frags stagger then
ye thats the game saying your progressing too fast and trying to catch you off guard
which you need some timing and spacing to do well and you only get 3
yeah but thats point tax that no count
vet frags can nuke unarmoured enemies within its epicenter
from what ive seen at least for anything below havoc arbites is really broken
I only went for a maelstrom attempt to get rid of the notification about talking to Commisar Dukane or whatever.
arbites has everything that makes ogryn good and vet decent
really strong single talents too like
My maelstrom run was me as Vet with 3x Arbiters. 
a stacking 30% perma buff that gives dr and damage vs bosses
just played havoc 30 with same comp and got cooked
shield, toughness gain on chained hits, a get off me charge, high stagger nades, stun mines, a dog that provides brittleness and stagger on monstrocities and ogryns
vet is rn in a tough spot due to arbites
as if people want more survivability theyll just play arbites
not to mention that the shotpistol is broken
Vets tree is just not as powerful overall
Isn't? I was under the impression that it has power, but is limited to specific perks and is set on a somewhat boring style that little has to do with it being an specialists on guns
Shredder plus bistol plus grenade tinkerer
win
Yeah arbites does their role way better, it actually has talents that synergize with elite/specialist killing
vets no where as boring as psyker tbf
FGS and recon gunker is fun
psyker is the only class that after getting to level 30 i cant force myself to play
Not a fan of any staves except for electric one
Mmhow dare you good sir from my dream? BEGONE!
*toss colorful stones at your face
If you want to achieve the same survivability you can get by basically randomly choosing things in the arbites tree, you need to go VoC, no other way.
VoC is boring as hell.
In terms of performance, psyker has its own niche that hasn't been replaced though. theyre the umtimate crowd control and horde clear class with bubble too
VoC is damn boring and i even got complimented for not using it in havoc
then we lost and i had to switch to VoC
book zealot is the most boring ability personally
Love exe stance because you just keep both it and Exhillarating Takedown rolling by just clicking heads
The toughness rakes in without VoC
Survivability for team has its own merits (even if piss toughness is evil), and it's specifically what Arbiter should excel, Veteran should have more focus on being good using gunfire in many ways (hence it's big weapon pool) but in general it's not as engaging
But not as braindead so
untill the games director decides your having too much fun and sends a anti toughness horde onto uou
Tbf ET procs on any head
Ai director: Pocket tox bombers!
You just lose the on Elite/Specialist kill toughness if it's only trash mobs but still got ET
some enemies its pretty hard to hit their head or discouraged like maulers and muties and bosses really just make you unable to gain toughness at all with exe stance
Exe stance is my favorite ability. But I think it needs something to put it on par with the other "rebalanced" or new classes.
I quite like it
Infil is probably the least fun and hardest to invest in one
Like five upgrade nodes 
Otherwise it's just toughness refill and stealth for a few seconds
At least it doesn't stop you from sprinting anymore, that sucked so bad
infil is just a worse stealth zealot tbh
It's kind of a sidegrade
Shroud lasts less time (requires an upgrade for ~same duration), only refills 40% toughness (over time, plus also an upgrade)
But in return you get more damage
At least on zealot you can IoD spam for Shroud, kinda better than the specialist kill CDR that vet has
Easy way to improve the vet tree: remove most of the small stat boost nodes, roll them into the base class
Yup or even get the backstab cdr too
Or just combine some of them so it's still a choice
and zealots just way better at melee than melee vet
The rending and brittleness on hit can be combined easily
remove the "immune to suppression" node - it's the class passive now.
I like that zealot leans more melee but both trees need some love
Yeah sure, makes sense
That and survivalist
Not sure if that would be too powerful or not, survivalist is really weird in that it gives so much just for playing the game
It used to be crazy before back when it gave more per elite/special
Problem is survivalist is too good to compete with
Gonna level mastery on infantry lasgun and devil's claw, what perks, blessings and mark for each?
Should just be innate to vet since everyone is bringing vet for survivalist anyways
Ilas IIb with HH and Ghost
What about perks?
And anyone know for Devil's Claw?
Make survivalist 10% weakspot damage and buff the other two (7 .5% dmg fire team and 10% move speed imo)
personally i think Flak + 10% elite is the best combo while using MMF
Now that Arbites is out I bet in the future we get a nade launcher and heavy stubber shareable between vet and Arbites
They both use them and vet is due a weapon wondering if they were waiting for arbiters to drop
the pinned guide recommends different talents but in my experience i feel this is smoother for IIb ilas
i actually think IIb is pretty solid for auric level difficulties
havoc is a different animal since it has no way to deal with armor and the breakpoints get all messed up
oh, grab Born Leader instead of KTHD
Where my arms go. D:
Isn't the IIb the lightest variant? I'm surprised that's the best considering it has the lowest damage. Is it since recoil is far lower so it can stay on target?
The blue is the lowest dmg but highest fire rate, green being middle ground, yellow being highest dmg lowest firerate
This applies to all guard weapons funnily enough
sacrificed to empror
at least you're not one of the 1000 daily psykoids
