When your traditional officer is a nepo baby, sure

deep bone
#

lol

sonic kayak
#

On the other hand, guardsmen on average easily stop any military our planet has today

deep bone
#

The Guard aren’t just suicide soldiers

sonic kayak
#

They are exceptionally good fighters with weapons that we can't even think to use, the problem is they are wasted

deep bone
#

They are effective when you give them the correct field support much like any army

sonic kayak
#

Or leave them to their own devices since they are very self-sufficient, like say, the Iron Guard or Catachans

hardy comet
#

"hey guys, this army that has a tone of sci fi technology will be able to beat modern military"

#

no shit

unreal nova
deep bone
#

Real

#

Space Bogans

sonic kayak
deep bone
#

I’m currently working on a Astra Militarum army not sure what colour I want to paint them

unreal nova
#

The fact you reach 14 alive is already... yeah.

sonic kayak
#

There's a reason why the Guard is not the same as the Solar Auxilia

deep bone
#

I am making my regiment based on Cadian regiments cause there my favourite

hardy comet
sonic kayak
#

Soldiers with the best training left to their own devices without anyone to control them? Leaving the battlefield decision making to their leaders on the ground? Dangerous (to some)

deep bone
#

Might make them based on the Cadian 110th

unreal nova
#

Even before anything war, they are taught to make use of anything to survive.

sonic kayak
deep bone
#

Kasrkin Shock Trooper’s are cool af

sonic kayak
#

Or even better, Kasrkin

#

The human equivalent of the Deathwatch

hardy comet
#

so a good portion of guardsman infantry would have the same kind of training that a drug dealer today has

sonic kayak
#

KEKW_ogryn Maybe a PDF regiment, sure

unreal nova
hardy comet
#

just like "you know what end to point at the enemy and how to shoot? good, go replace the people that just died on the frontline"

sonic kayak
#

But your bog standard guardsmen are exceptionally well trained

candid agate
sonic kayak
#

The problem is that, instead of learning and adapting, no one learns the tools they have so they just make more of them to throw more of them at the wall until it breaks

#

Not a IG problem, that's a tactical problem

deep bone
#

There is a difference between the standard troopers and conscripts

unreal nova
#

Is why I kinda want more from vet. Needs more to feel a cut above the avg fodder.

sonic kayak
#

Even on naval ships, cannons are all loaded manually

deep bone
#

Most of the leadership within the guard sucks

sonic kayak
#

The Imperium's best resource are humans

unreal nova
#

Making innovation somewhat illegal.

deep bone
#

Commissars spend more time shooting their own men then actually leading them

unreal nova
#

Modding guns can even get you shot.

sonic kayak
#

A tool is only as good as the operator, who in this case are the higher-ups, which is the whole point of the 40k Imperium

hardy comet
#

comisars are trained to shoot deserters because they know their conscripts will try to flee as soon as they just see your standard set eyes on a standard demon

deep bone
#

And they wonder why so many guard want them dead

sonic kayak
#

People like Cain or Gaunt stand out because to us, that's relatively common sense, but to 40k, that's exceptionally rare

unreal nova
sonic kayak
#

Common sense ain't common

sonic kayak
unreal nova
#

If ppl know more, they would be harder to control to them.

hardy comet
unreal nova
deep bone
#

True

unreal nova
#

.-.

hardy comet
#

dude, compare it to the modern world, you got actual pirates that people simp for when all they do is terrorise trade ships

deep bone
#

If I was given the choice between dying in a hive city Eaton corpse starch and shit or join a cult that would treat me better and give me cool robes and shit if choose the cult too lmao

sonic kayak
#

Come rest, weary traveler. I'm sure you're tired. How about a nice warm meal? Soup. I made soup. Freshest ingredients. Have some bread. Homemade. Oh, I know it's a reprieve from what you've been through. Are you still cold? How about a blanket? Wool. evilSmile

This is how a cult forms

hardy comet
#

not to mention sociopaths that just go "yo, maybe if i do worship some demon, i can be strong enough to be king of the world"

unreal nova
deep bone
#

Oh no people in the hive city are being nice to each other

unreal nova
#

That you can have all you want?

faint beacon
#

@tall torrent there any noteable differences for the MkV Helby (Light Variant) after the buffs or is it still the same old

deep bone
#

If I was a starved hive city resident yes

faint beacon
#

Considering trying it when I’m off work

deep bone
#

Bro imagine being born in Atoma

faint beacon
#

I’ve used the other two but actively avoided the MkV

unreal nova
deep bone
#

Looking out your window and seeing a Spawn of chaos eat a guard squad

sonic kayak
#

Couldn't be the Imperium

deep bone
#

Moebian 21st got absolutely jumped

#

Disgraceful

#

Planetary Defense Forces suck lmao

sonic kayak
#

Out of everyone in this fucking war, the 21st got shafted the most

deep bone
#

Yea

marsh quiver
#

have pings been broken recently?

deep bone
#

They can’t win against the Moebian 6th even when they have Leman Russ support

sonic kayak
#

That's what you get for minding your own business in the Imperium Sadge

unreal nova
#

Thus, I understand the situation.

hardy comet
#

no doubt there are cults that show up everywhere in the imperium, even on ultramar

marsh quiver
#

found it super hard to tag certain enemies even when I'm looking right at them

hardy comet
unreal nova
sonic kayak
#

They're a problem when they become loud enough, otherwise you'll always have dissent

deep bone
sonic kayak
#

"Workplace hazard"

hardy comet
#

i said ultramar because that is the closest to paradise in impirium

marsh quiver
deep bone
#

The Inquisition is a cult

marsh quiver
candid agate
#

ngl, hexbound daemonhosts are the worst modifiers to a mission, they are so buggy and badly done, they should just be abandoned

deep bone
#

I hate Pox Hardened Skin

left comet
#

which gun is best for the serial killer penance>

marsh quiver
#

hexbound is like

#

4 rooms over

unreal nova
faint beacon
#

They’re fun till you get a bugged hexbound that immediately starts fast summoning half way across the map forcing you to fight it

candid agate
#

i love hexbounds beginning legit behind a wall

sonic kayak
#

My favorite is when you can't track them well because they're in the fucking ground

unreal nova
marsh quiver
#

there's this one hexbound on spireside vault that will trigger immediately when you're technically still really far away in terms of progression

hardy comet
#

thing is, cults on tera and ultramar are likely shut down quick because inquisitors frequent that area

candid agate
#

where we have to do interrogators to get past that wall

marsh quiver
#

because the lift brings you close to it

deep bone
#

Ordo Hereticus is based

marsh quiver
#

that one is pretty much a guaranteed hexbound spawn because you can't get there safely in time

marsh quiver
hardy comet
#

side note, wonder how sweet a darktide game would be if its chaos cultists ad the classes

marsh quiver
#

for a long time it was fine after, now it seems like it's back to beta levels of ping again

unreal nova
marsh quiver
#

yeah, I'm not super happy about the pings being broken

deep bone
#

Vermintide had the same problems

#

I adore Vermintide

#

I love that game

hardy comet
#

pings work fine for me

unreal nova
deep bone
#

I like the Arbites class

#

But I’m still gonna be a Vet main

#

It’s the closest thing to being a guardsman as I can get

torn gorge
#

thats shocking

deep bone
#

I want this set in green

open ravine
# deep bone

I'm confused it is green or are you running a mod to make it seem green

sonic kayak
#

He might mean the armor in green

#

The cloth is green yes, but not the armor plates

neon estuary
#

actually i like the way the color looks

stark lotus
neon estuary
#

not a fan of black and green?

grand perch
#

green is good

#

gordon gekko had it almost right

sonic kayak
neon estuary
#

at least black and green looks great on mine

#

problem is the beret though....

narrow widget
#

red goes nicely with that color scheme tho

#

nice 90-10 color split

neon estuary
#

red beret means you're paratrooper and doesn't fit on my veteran

narrow widget
#

ig

sonic kayak
neon estuary
#

no no, mine is more of a... commando kind of veteran. No offense really

#

i just prefer green or black beret to fit my veteran's style

faint beacon
#

Steel Legion is all I’m using

#

I’ll be surprised if FS manages to make Arbitrator outfits based on those regiments

sonic kayak
neon estuary
#

stop trolling on me, i ment no disrespect really!

grand perch
plain osprey
#

Just tried to use the indignatus crusher in an CIVI... Never doing that again

neon estuary
#

so i tried using the dualing sword, not ridiculously op to me

torn gorge
#

try it more

normal bay
#

Have you tried poking them harder?

neon estuary
#

its very complicated when dealing with heavily crowded enemies

normal bay
#

Then go try kill a crusher with a heavy sword

#

To remind yourself of the pain

hollow ibex
#

500 dps 🔥

nimble wadi
#

Is combat shotgun any good on vet?

sonic kayak
#

It sure is

hollow ibex
nimble wadi
hollow ibex
#

this is what i run but you could prob replace flak with something else if you want

lavish stump
#

I kinda wanted a build w it but never figured it out

hollow ibex
#

idk/idc about havoc

faint beacon
#

It’s solid in havoc

#

He does fullbore manstopper

lavish stump
#

lol

lavish stump
hollow ibex
#

he was doing a true duo on h40 with it yes

lavish stump
#

can anybody link his build lol

open ravine
#

Why don't people use the twins shortcut anymore

lavish stump
#

@narrow frost can you please share your combat shotgun build on vet?

#

I am 90% sure he is using VoC

hollow ibex
#

he wasn't playing vet

#

he was playing arbi

lavish stump
#

oh damn

faint beacon
#

Agri is still good on Vet

lavish stump
#

but with what build tho

faint beacon
#

WS or FT pathing and you could do either VOC or EStance

#

EStance for slug sniping

lavish stump
#

is this good for it?

lavish stump
#

and what blessing should I get for shotgun tho

sonic kayak
#

That's the bread and butter of most Vet builds

#

WS = Weapon Specialist, bottom right keystone
FT = Focus Target, bottom middle

lavish stump
#

they need to do something with his auras

faint beacon
lavish stump
#

5% damage my ass

faint beacon
#

If you’re spamming out slugs try to take Tac Reload

sonic kayak
#

Meanwhile Arbites getting free Skullcrusher every 3 nodes dancing_scout_tf2

lavish stump
#

at least I cope

#

he has way to much going on for him in every situation

sleek garden
#

i like arbites playstyle a lot but i agree

#

arbites is crazy good

lavish stump
#

but he is like top 3

sleek garden
#

every match i play when im not arbites im struggling to keep up because they kill everything so fast they're already moving on to the next area

sonic kayak
#

He's a product of the times

#

Veteran and Zealot aren't

sleek garden
#

dogs kill every trapper sniper bomber before you can see them

#

do enemies just need to be tougher

loud belfry
#

preferably more enemies

lavish stump
#

give hp to dog

#

problem solved

sonic kayak
lavish stump
#

none of the enemies even acknowledge existence of a dog

sleek garden
#

what shotgun are you using

lavish stump
#

he is just a free bot

jovial wagon
#

does executioner's stance do good enough in late game content

sonic kayak
#

Accatran

jovial wagon
#

wanna jump back on it

lavish stump
#

my boss damage is always on top lol

sleek garden
jovial wagon
#

thanks

sonic kayak
#

Auric ain't shit anymore Sadge

jovial wagon
#

I didn't use it the intended way though lol. I used it on hordes

#

it would usually melt them

sonic kayak
#

The one with 110k boss damage was a THammer Zealot

jovial wagon
#

but I main bolt pistol with this so maybe I should make a third loadout slot and try a build for it

sonic kayak
#

Just used shotgun + power sword

normal bay
sonic kayak
#

Those deaths were both Arbites KEKW_ogryn

lavish stump
normal bay
#

Those missions have super low spawns for some reason

sleek garden
unreal nova
sleek garden
#

mine usually end up around 2k for 40 minutes

normal bay
lavish stump
#

I am not

normal bay
#

2-3k depending on mission is normal

sonic kayak
unreal nova
#

Or just being knocked off the map.

lavish stump
#

it was civi we did that mission like for 1 hour

#

scab enemies

sonic kayak
#

Patrols of fucking reapers

#

What bullshit did they do to the horde management

barren nimbus
#

Did they make havoc easier this patch

lavish stump
#

so anyway fullbore + which blessing?

sonic kayak
#

Can't go wrong with No Respite

barren nimbus
#

Manstopper

sonic kayak
#

Fullbore and Manstopper is fun with slugs

#

Hitting an enemy with a slug counts as "all pellets hitting the same enemy"

barren nimbus
#

I think the combat shotgun only fires 4 pellets so fullbore is usually fine

#

Its kinda sad but the combat shotgun seems very good in normal modes but awful in havoc

sonic kayak
#

Wait I think I was doing Scattershot + Manstopper back then

lavish stump
#

not bad but decent

barren nimbus
#

Eh

#

Even the new arbites shotgun is somewhat lacking. It has bad breakpoints even when you max its damage out

sonic kayak
#

It takes care of gunners so it works for me

lavish stump
#

fullbore + no respite?

barren nimbus
#

For what weapon

sonic kayak
#

I follow the simple philosophy of guns for shooters, melee for anything in-between

lavish stump
#

combat shotgun

barren nimbus
#

Manstopper is the best perk, the other is slightly more interchangeable

#

But the flame variant of the combat shotgun fires 4 pellets so fullbore works pretty well

hollow ibex
#

nah

#

for agri best is simply full bore/no respite

#

the rest it depends

#

manstopper is hardly the best across all 3 marks

sleek garden
#

zarona can one shot reapers and possibly bulawrks

#

manstopper works great on zarona because of the special shell

#

the flame shotgun already has decent cleave and a wide shot so crits on hitting multiple people is good

lavish stump
#

what about double barrel

sleek garden
#

both barrels i think

#

if it has full bore you can get in someones face and annihilate them with a one two

lavish stump
#

nah man shotgun sucks ass

#

lmao

#

I just tested it

#

I need my weapon to be able to kill stuff in 1-2 shots

#

not dumping the mag

hollow ibex
#

aim better

lavish stump
#

nah shotgun is literally not about aiming

#

idk what I wanted I guess

sudden cedar
#

They are to some extent

lavish stump
#

that is not good

sudden cedar
#

I mean what are you looking for anyway.

hollow ibex
lavish stump
#

this fits bolter but I am bored with bolter

sudden cedar
#

I see.

#

Play Zealot and use the Flamer.

faint beacon
#

Finesse = Weakspot

loud belfry
#

ripper on ogryn is kinda cute like that

sudden cedar
#

It fits your description of a weapon and its usage.

faint beacon
#

Veteran is the Weakspot rewarding class

sudden cedar
#

What is the Veteran called again?

loud belfry
#

definitely not sharpshooter

faint beacon
#

Aka if you can aim a good chunk of weapons can def make them work

grand perch
faint beacon
#

Not anymore after Ogryn lmao

narrow frost
#

I wake

sudden cedar
#

Ah yes, "Veteran: Sharpshooter"

narrow frost
#

Gale look at this

#

Arby havoc 40 duo

#

Sadly we died

#

Ham's Internet went out

faint beacon
#

Unfortunate

sudden cedar
#

Sad.

faint beacon
#

What was the build

narrow frost
#

My normal build

#

Crusher agri combat shotgun

#

Impact made, break the line

lavish stump
#

ainz hello

#

can you make double barrel shotgun work

narrow frost
#

Yeah

#

Gotta pull up my video one sec

lavish stump
#

for veteran I presume

narrow frost
#

Havoc 40, all 4 vets with smoeks

#

And my build is on the comments

lavish stump
#

smoke??

narrow frost
#

Yes

#

Yes

#

It's very good

#

Especially in havoc

#

It's just a more spammable psyker bubble

sudden cedar
#

And it does not have the drawback of suddenly vanishing leaving you without cover

narrow frost
#

And it does even more

grand perch
#

except toughness regeneration

#

or blocking grenades

narrow frost
#

Since it also stops dogs and makes trappers get alot closer before shooting

sudden cedar
#

Well, you would have other sources of toughness regen

#

Not that you must, but you could use the Nuncio-Aquila now.

faint beacon
#

A lot closer before shooting aka

#

DB value

grand perch
#

Build here (DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME - veterans depicted in video are professional idiots):
https://imgur.com/a/snz7EBp#

Challenge rules were to use no grenades other than smokes, play Veteran class (duh), no golden toughness except on 1 VoC (rest used no subnode or revive shout). It's encouraged to equip off-meta weapons.

This is on US East, w...

▶ Play video
#

would be part 2

faint beacon
#

I’m so glad you added that

#

Smoke.

#

Smoke.

#

Are you smoking yet?

narrow frost
#

Smoke.

#

Smoke.

faint beacon
#

I love smoke nades

#

I just WISH

#

IT WASNT MILES AWAY FROM SURVIVALIST

#

CAUSE THAT PATHING HAS SOME OF MY FAVORITE TALENTS

patent birch
#

so which combat shotty is good

unreal nova
faint beacon
#

Closest thing youll get is Acca Shotty

sudden cedar
#

Probably

faint beacon
#

But that has ranged issues

#

Shits on everything up close and medium ranged though

unreal nova
faint beacon
unreal nova
#

Also needs to have range.

lavish stump
#

arbites weapons will be shared in future

#

mark my words

#

they are just class specific for now

high token
#

anything major changed in vet since the update? haven't played for a while loregryn

lavish stump
#

nothing

#

he is garbage

high token
#

so, the usual

faint beacon
#

So no not really aside from weapon buffs like Combat Shotties and Helbores

sudden cedar
#

I don't think they will be shared

faint beacon
#

I doubt it also

#

Exterm Shotties and Shields are incredibly unique to them

#

But I could see the Arby Smaul

#

In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if Arby got more shared weapons later

#

They’re probably testing the waters rn

#

Ex. Devils Claw

#

Etc

#

I kinda want them not to have DS though

#

Cause then everyone will run that instead of the actual fun weapons

atomic void
#

they dont use toothpicks thankfully

lavish stump
#

is game fucking dead

#

why it takes so long to find auric malestorm

#

wtf

faint beacon
#

I’d prefer they get a heavier one that’s less on mobility and more on small horde clear and good single target

atomic void
#

knives are very common no?

#

i want all their upcoming weapons to focus on the stagger everything theme

#

mauls hammers and stuff

#

also give them and vet heavy stubber

faint beacon
#

And weaker/slower in single target

atomic void
#

bowie knife my beloved

lavish stump
#

why is everyone suddenly playing fucking veteran? for the past 20 games I was the only veteran

#

now its every other game

faint beacon
#

Day-

#

6?

#

Yeah day 6

#

Arby burn out is setting in

#

Honestly I’m thankful cause I don’t like stacks

#

That or 3 of them

#

2-1 is fine

lavish stump
#

we need shotgun that behaves like boltor

barren nimbus
#

I’m literally just waiting to find a havoc veteran that is useful

sudden cedar
#

@barren nimbus @steep flower Here is a Havoc Veteran that is useful.

steep flower
#

Speaking off i will be playing havoc; need 2

sudden cedar
#

I would be up to it later.

barren nimbus
#

I think I have him added, whats your veteran name @steep flower

#

Oh hes EU I forgot

#

So I’d never find him

nimble wadi
#

@proven egret is Accatran any good or should I stick with agri for combat shotgun

steep flower
barren nimbus
#

The flame shotgun mark is pretty decent, just has some mediocre breakpoints

faint beacon
#

People say its shit cause it falls off at range

#

But it destroys up close

lavish stump
#

he provides good utility

#

also smoke grenade is actually busted

faint beacon
#

Hes get out damaged easily but like has insane utility

lavish stump
#

also I can't get enough of fucking bolter maan

#

see crushers

#

one mag and all of them are gone

lavish stump
#

I know that most of players will ignore ranged specials and shit

#

so that it is my job to kill them

#

need me a smoke grenade build

faint beacon
#

Well I used too but now it’s more just dedicate HVT gameplay or utility

lavish stump
#

HVT?

barren nimbus
#

It’s kinda tragic that arbites kinda is just a more well rounded veteran

faint beacon
#

Arby is the actual kill everything class I play

#

High Value Target

#

Aka elites or specials

lavish stump
#

I hope he gets nerfed and get veteran treatment for year

#

so I can fucking see him less

barren nimbus
#

I already barely see them in havoc since golden toughness is stupid

#

Survivalist is so shit it genuinely needs a massive buff

#

It would be fine if veteran was good, but I see it a lot this patch where people will play veteran for survivalist and they will just perform terribly

sudden cedar
#

Maybe because they just are terrible.

lavish stump
#

+++

#

veteran is very very good on havoc

#

the issue is that he literally just has one build

#

but I just like VoC

#

more than his other abilities

steep flower
lavish stump
#

anyway he is not gonna get any changes until like 2026

#

which is terrible

#

I hope player count drops very low so they will act upon it

#

or do something idk

warm schooner
#

new players same old bad opinions

lavish stump
#

I am not a new player tho

#

lol

barren nimbus
#

Idk why they don’t micro buff veteran in the mean time

midnight totem
#

I fucking love Power Matrix on Havoc

lavish stump
#

I've seen terrible rng that this game had on release

midnight totem
#

first drop down, get hit with two plague ogryns, chaos spawn, and twins

#

on the second most ledge heavy arena in the game

lavish stump
#

I think I am a vet main now lol

#

I don't have fun as other classes as I do with vet

unreal nova
lavish stump
#

is this build good for shotgun vet btw? double barrel

barren nimbus
#

Double barrel kinda needs right keystone

lavish stump
#

for havoc

jovial wagon
#

speaking of shotgun vet

#

can I make a stealth db surprise build

lavish stump
#

I am playing havoc mostly

jovial wagon
#

or does the stealth only increase melee

lavish stump
#

why tf gameslanter has no filter for grenades per class

#

lol

barren nimbus
# unreal nova They did... but tone deaf buffs, lul.

It’s insane to me when i went on reddit the other day to see people pissing in their diaper over the plasma gun, meanwhile I’m losing to literal robots running an autoclicker on an invincible stupid class

lavish stump
#

which voice is best for veteran do you think?

#

afaik people hate cadian voice now

narrow frost
#

Sorry

#

Was me

frank basin
#

Return to vermintide

sudden cedar
#

All that Cadians do is whine about how they miss Cadia.

#

And how everyone that isn't a Cadian can get lost.

#

@barren nimbus Just so that i understand, how are you "losing" to someone in a PvE Game that emphasizes teamwork, exspecially in Havoc?

narrow frost
hollow ibex
#

accatran is still good only for the memes tbh

faint beacon
#

Agri has range

#

Acca doesn’t

#

But Acca still hits incredibly hard up close

frank basin
#

Agri is feel more real shotgun

#

Sniping cross the room

lavish stump
#

I hate this so much

#

where are psykers

frank basin
#

They probably bored playing psyker

sudden cedar
#

Have you thought about using the LFG in this Discord?

faint beacon
#

Arby is pretty insane for frontline control on havoc but like

#

That’s assuming they actually do Break The Line, Forceful, LW

red robin
#

man

#

ive been using combat shotgun

#

makes me miss reload node executioners stance

lavish stump
#

btw I have like rank 16 in havoc but it doesnt show in my nickname

midnight totem
#

but I think its worthless cause the node, while it gives a big bonus

sudden cedar
#

@lavish stump You may not have this rank yet, just the assignment

midnight totem
#

only lasts 5 seconds

faint beacon
#

You have to complete an assignment to get the rank

#

The clearance level is what you have access to

#

Aka you could play with a H40 team and get the shiny 40 medal next your name but your clearance could still be 23

midnight totem
#

yeah, there's a mandatory below stealth that gives like, 15 close damage for 10 seconds after ability use

#

that feels just so much better, you know?

atomic void
#

its a pve game

faint beacon
#

Justified crash out if it’s a 3 stack mastiff match

#

If not then it is no longer justified

jovial wagon
#

I don't mind people like, one shotting everything they come across

#

but it's a lil annoying when I'm comboing a rager, dodging like an absolute speed fiend

#

and then some wanker comes over and just bonks him

#

I don't really believe in "kill stealing" but come on man I was doing that. I was having fun

sudden cedar
#

They just want to help you. Most likely.

faint beacon
#

It’s more annoying when I have the perfect shot then princess cucks me out of a headshot on a gunner

#

And now I have to bodyshot it to kill it

sudden cedar
#

I absolutely think there is some sort of kill stealing

#

Like a Zealot charging something only to find it dead on arrival

jovial wagon
#

sm2 has this with zealot lol

#

not zealot

#

vanguard

atomic void
#

kill stealing has been a thing since i started playing
nothing u can do about it lol

sudden cedar
#

Charging something to procc talents and what not is helpful

#

Finding the target dead leaves you open

#

and in worst cases unable to regain toughness you may have lost

atomic void
# jovial wagon vanguard

yep i hate vanguards who just grapple and steal exec especially when i NEED the exec to get my contested hp back

it goes two ways. You either hook to a guy and your execution gets stolen, or you're about to execute someone and then it gets stopped by them hooking in to take it. In that game it's genuinely bad though because executions are actually needed for armour and what cyber just said, contested health

I find them fun

oh nothing much

they're just ass

I like them idk

they just fall off hard in the higher difficulties

mostly just havoc really

that makes sense

they fall off in damnation tbh

I did notice that

yeah but you can do whatever in damnation so it doesn't really matter that much

problem is they're really only good at shredding poxxers

I don't hear much praise for power swords but I really like them too

that's fair, I had to use a mod to get new sights

they made it faster with the latest patch

if you equipped it for the first time I'd get it. Kinda like how halo has little animations for when you first equip a gun, you actually need to cock it and that

After playing Ogryn and arby for a while vet feels squishy lol

hello soldiers

I hope yall are having a good day

Well, Ogryn has the bulk, Arbites has the sustain

every time i'm in-game, I get queued with three other identical-looking arbites

#

I would be happier if current veteran was the standard of balance, because veteran had weaknesses and strengths, and needed help. Now we have two classes that are space marines while veteran is in a wheelchair

faint beacon
#

this has been the way with them for some fucking reason

#

and im not happy

barren nimbus
#

Rebalancing zealot before veteran is pathetic

faint beacon
#

so if a Vet cant handle a fight in melee they should promptly eat shit

warm schooner
#

ever since that lead gameplay designer left, things have taken a turn balance wise

tame lodge
#

There's no

#

And I mean

#

No

#

Versatility on zealots build

#

You will take The Build ™

#

And be happy about it

barren nimbus
#

Zealot literally has twice the viable abilities

#

And not to mention zealots perks are literally 6x better

quick seal
#

zealot's chorus feels super jank

barren nimbus
#

The moment veteran drops below 75% toughness the lights turn off and you die

tame lodge
#

Chastise>>>>>>

quick seal
tame lodge
#

And I hope you like throwing knives

#

Because that's all you will be getting

barren nimbus
#

I really enjoy chastise with thunder hammer. I would regularly get 500k boss damage, then Flamer carries horde clear

steady prism
#

It isn't just balance.. Its a lack of vision and or planning. Zealot is suppose to be melee DPS.. Critical strike and other things. Arbites and I think Ogryn do not have much in the way of Critical. That is fine because they are suppose to be semi tanks/frontline

Veteran is suppose to be the ranged specialist but then gets so few options to deal with Armor. If anything Veteran is in the worse position design wise

barren nimbus
#

Throwing knives are probably more powerful than shredders. I get shredders are mathematically strong but I feel like their performance is dog shit for me

quick seal
#

I perform better with knives than shredders

steady prism
#

While it may not perform as well.. At least Shredders can recharge every minute

barren nimbus
#

Dont knives come back when you kill an elite?

#

They also come back from ammo

steady prism
#

They are suppose to but a few times they did not for me

barren nimbus
#

There’s literally so many easy changes they could make to completely revitalize veteran. If krak grenades blew up like instantly after sticking something and then maybe applied brittleness, they’d shake the meta and it would take a dev 10 minutes

hollow ibex
#

only downside is the long fuse time

#

which can make them feel bad

hollow ibex
#

but if you time them ahead of time, they're way stronger than impacts

quick seal
#

you should go work at fatshark

barren nimbus
#

I would get ass fucked by corpo scum then probably be drowned in a river

quick seal
#

ohhhh

#

ass fucked.... oh ok

steady prism
#

A rework won't fix Veteran I think. I have to agree with the forums asking for Specialties. The base class should be a fine introduction then at level 30 you can choose a specialty. a more focused tree is the only path forward I think

barren nimbus
#

veteran is boring and pigeonholed bad, but I don’t get why they aren’t just doing a bandaid microbuff until the rework a year from now. Literally 30 minutes of adjustments would please everyone

#

I’m relatively fine with veteran as is under the circumstances of a very small buff

steady prism
#

I wouldn't say boring but certainly in a bad position. It is too spread out to actually do one thing correct (outside of ranged). You have to go out of your way for stamina to hold hordes in melee. you don't have good damage reduction unless its at range.. the list of issues piles up

It is why I moved to Arbites. I recognize how poorly designed it is and that Arbites is not only crazy strong but more efficient

What’s the best Shotgun for Veteran

I think they'r eall super subpar compared to other guns. Use whatever you want if its fun for you lul

elder vessel

that detonate on impact

#

I like how the change vets can look forawrd to is to nerf their best gun. What, you wanted anything shiney like every other class? .. Where's the melta gun you insensitive clods

barren nimbus
#

They genuinely might have brain damage if they think the plasma gun is problematic

tame lodge
#

Actually you can

pseudo fiber
tame lodge
#

Just aim down sights

deep bone
#

I personally am likening the Accatran

#

I’m also trying out the Tac Axe and holy terra it’s amazing

#

It feels great

pseudo fiber
#

Horde? Uncharged shot
Specialist? Uncharged shot
Elite? Uncharged shot
Crushers and bulwarks? Uncharged shot
Bosses? Uncharged shot

It's fucking boring

deep bone
#

Yea

pseudo fiber
#

They should have nerfed plasma Uncharged shots like last year god knows why it took so long

deep bone
#

I personally don’t like using Plasma it’s a very passive gun

#

It don’t feel like I’m using my brain

#

That’s why I like using Lasguns

faint beacon
#

isn't this a fun gameplay loop?

#

Pressing m1 over and over with no drawback cause m1 has a safety mechanic!

steady prism
#

Agripinna is the go to Shotgun for most classes.. Even Arbites. While Arbites has a powerful shotgun, it isn't as consistent as the Agri

tame lodge
#

It's why Path stated that Arby's shotguns are mid huh

steady prism
#

Indeed. I think they are using the Mk 3 execution though. I will test the other model later today.. the other model has more far damage than the Agri

ancient path
#

how do you guys like the shock maul + shield for arbi?

steady prism
#

That discussion is best for the Arbites channel but I will quickly say it is the Horde holder.. I am easily solo'ing hordes even against elites. My match last night.. I solo held a wave of normal mobs with 3 crushers mixed in

ancient path
#

arbi channel is kinda weird

#

so i'd rather be here

crisp rapids
#

so vets 3 stacks basically guarantees a crit?

tame lodge
#

Yuh

crisp rapids

#

any good double barrel setup?

#

like

i am not proking full bore consistently

#

with it

tame lodge
#

Manstopper Flechette

#

Basically infinite cleave bleed

crisp rapids
#

and guarantee the crit trough that

#

the specialist ye?

#

what about deathsplitter / scattershot/ and both barels? (ig i don tneed that if i load my gun per kill)

tame lodge
#

You're running Weapon Specialist

#

With the Always Prepared modifier

#

You don't need to reload

#

Otherwise

#

It would be Deathspitter + Double Barrel

crisp rapids
#

ig i dont do deathsplitter cause i am dwapping constantly ye?

#

3 melee kills is 100% crit, anything further is just increase Fire Rate

I had some fun with agri, I still like the duckbill shot
the combat variant of it is butt

the primary shot's good

steady prism
#

wait until you try the Mk 3 exe on Arbi.. its more butt than that ahaha

even if its at 1 ammo?

can i fore both?

hollow ibex

No wait, Rashad uses push attack

hollow ibex

xiii uses PA too

it's part of the "proper" combo

#

i think most people just yolo light spam tho

steady prism
#

I use the Antax axe. The special attack is great for bopping ragers (when playing my veteran). When I am on my Arbi though.. I press F, bonk, and maybe use a Flash on my shield. Ugh Arbi is making me forget how to play Veteran proper

tame lodge
fossil basalt
#

I genuinely like the Mk3

But that's because I fucking love suppressing enemies

steady prism
#

If I ever use a shotgun on either Veteran or Arbi.. I am using the Agri. that is just me though

hollow ibex
#

can't go wrong with agri 👍

steady prism
#

True. Though I prefer bolt pistol on Arbi. Spearhead on Veteran. Nothing like sending a 998 caliber round down range (yes that is the actual lore caliber to the Bolter)

crisp rapids
#

ok so,

#

i still have no clue how it works

#

and playing vet after playing with arbiter

#

its wild

#

i feel like i have to do soo much shit

#

to evne come close

#

to how much value arbiters give

hollow ibex
#

yeah vet's like twice the effort for half the results

steady prism
#

Yes. With Veteran you have to put your try hard pants on. With Arbites.. you can go full bot and be fine. I will see if I can find the score board but I did one high difficulty match with Arbi where I took over 500 damage.. all of it was my toughness. no health damage

hollow ibex
#

you really have to sweat your ass off to keep up as vet

torn gorge
steady prism
#

Indeed. Vet is now the squish'iest class. It is hilarious that as Arbi I get 25% damage reduction just for bonking elites

crisp rapids
#

also, the double barrels still feels odd?

#

like i get my shot off before the thing evne activates

#

my weapon specialist

#

the fucking executioner shotgun, makes the doulbe barrel feel like paper

#

am i doing something wrong?

hollow ibex
#

and your build?

crisp rapids
hollow ibex
#

this is my standard WS + DB build

hollow ibex
#

you just need to make sure that you're primarily firing the DB

#

after getting 3 stacks of WS

#

that guarantees the crit

#

and then you'll proc manstopper and flechette

#

so basically it's just 3 melee kills > switch to DB and fire gun > 3 melee kills > switch to DB and fire gun

crisp rapids
#

so ig its just arbi

#

that makes stuff

#

seems like i am doing nothing

#

i am doing fine i supose

#

the exec shot just fucking mogs me

barren nimbus
#

Combat shotgun isn’t bad comparatively

#

I feel like, as good as the executioner shotgun is, it’s sorta not worth doing because all your melee is aoe anyway

crisp rapids
#

i meant DB

#

they shot from the4 other sid eof the map

#

with their shotgun

#

like exec shot just better than antyhign else

#

this shit feels soo fucking ass

#

theyneed no buffs stacks or anythign

#

this shit cant kill ass

Clutching with a vet is like asking for your spine to be broken.

like the DB you gotta get 3 stacks, swap, shot, to have a chance at killing something.

tis stupid

i shoot with both barrels, and if i am nto face to face to anything

i just dont do any fuckign damage

like how did they make this feel its a wet fucking noodle?

#

even the revolver now feels wack comparetivelly.

cause the arbites get some fucking overpenetration and amazing horizontal spread

and the plasmagun fires slower thanthe thing aarg

i tried a couple missions, i cant do anything that the arbite doesnt do objectivelly better faster while beeing tankier
