In H40 it's even easier because you can make them explode the moment they lose their shield

#

fully abusing relentless, where as if I used precog in that situation it would've uhhhh, be kinda useless cuz they don't get enough time to even attack once

tame lodge
#

Uh

#

This 1v1 video

#

Showed a lot of dodges

#

Good precognition value right there

trim badger
#

but that doesn't commonly happen in h40 runs anyways

tame lodge
#

And you didn't keep Relentless up that much

#

So I do recommend getting better footage

trim badger
trim badger
#

But precog is always gonna be better if there's no shield to burst

#

in regard to twin alone

#

captain on the other hand is very easy to keep ruthless value

trim badger
warm schooner
#

doesn't the damage gate on the shield make that less relevant?

trim badger
#

they don't have the max damage cap

#

normal caps do

warm schooner
#

fatshark things I guess

steel veldt
#

Wait so ADSing increases stagger?

faint beacon
#

Tac Axe also shreds shields on twins and captains insanely quick just saying

trim badger
#

this ds has +5% crit chance and unyielding

#

no flak no cara

#

still does good

safe raptor
#

on PC this is a setting that made me play in stable 60fps instead of 40 lol

trim badger
#

While precog is good when aggro is on you it's pretty much dead weight when it's on someone else or when it can't even move (stuff like book, taunt, and allthat stunning them)

#

relentless is especially good against fucking slugs

languid prawn
#

is there another meta melee weapon for veteren other than the duelling sword

calm shard
#

not dueling sword

#

and heavy sword only if you're using mk iv helbore or bolter

languid prawn
#

really?? it seems like everyone i see on youtube is using the duelling sword

#

at least thats the only thing ive uses since making a veteren

#

at least to me it seems broken considering it 2 hits bulwarks

sudden cedar
#

You aren't wrong.

#

And now you know why it seems everyone uses it.

languid prawn
#

fair enough.

#

was thinking about trying the heavy sword/bolter combo next but idk if it does well in havoc's since thats my goal

calm shard
#

and is one of the least special things about it

#

the reason everyone runs dueling sword is because it's the easiest to use of any of the weapons that has superior dodges

#

combat knife and tac axe both have its same defensive boosts, and knife has its same single target focus

arctic rampart
languid prawn
steel veldt
#

I got crushed by crushers like 6 times in 3 games, my dodging game is NOT on point today

arctic rampart
#

knife, lots of other options too. personally I hate knife and rather tac axe

steel veldt
#

I dodge backwards (for some reason) and they hit me beyond the hammer texture lol

arctic rampart
languid prawn
arctic rampart
#

rashaad's great for newer players imo just really solid

languid prawn
#

now is boltgun w/ heavy sword good for havocs and if so which bolter should i use

arctic rampart
#

get brutal momentum on it and slaughterer

sudden cedar
#

@calm shard True, that is not the only reason and not the most important one. But come on, two-shotting bulwarks with an easy to use weapon with high mobility? Of course people would use it.

#

Its like the Plasma Gun.

#

Fire and forget without having to think much.

trim badger
#

Combat knife is also a very good alternative

trim badger
#

don't let them confuse you

trim badger
#

which you need in havoc lol

well, not "Need" but like

#

power sword best bost killer in Havoc?

#

kind of a crazy statement here

steel veldt
#

I used duelling sword as it was the closest the game had to a katana tbh

#

my weeb ass needed it

#

and it's so fun

trim badger
ember nest
#

I want curved powerswords

#

Or like single edged ones

trim badger
calm shard
#

and helbore

#

and laspistol

#

and infantry autogun

ember nest
#

Yeah naw bread is the veteran damage pump knower

normal bay
#

I've seen PS do silly burst damage to H40 bosses

warm schooner
#

ranged trades on bosses in havoc are seriously underrated, being able to plink away constantly while repositioning reduces the time on boss fights by a lot

#

ps6 definitely can do that when the buffs align

trim badger
#

takes lots of time

trim badger
trim badger
trim badger
#

they die very quickly

#

On Zealot I'm still thinking if precog is better than relentless

#

but on Vet relentless is 100% the best

severe jolt
#

Why're you forgetting infantry lasgun? That's legitimately a rifle with infinite ammo on veteran

warm schooner
#

infantry lasgun is arguably a suboptimal pick due to the fact that it requires the Determined node to be anti gunner

#

while it's damage isn't high enough to justify the investment

#

which is why it's usually laspistol or helbore in high havoc

#

or one of the many reasons

warm schooner
#

you don't get suppressed almost at all with laspistol or helbore when adsing under fire

#

so you don't need to spend the talent point to get determined to avoid having your reticle jumping around

#

and the gunner/reaper/small shooter packs are especially deadly and intense on high havoc

severe jolt
warm schooner
#

it's a much bigger problem for vet because even with dodges you are going to take fire

#

ogryn with steady grip can get away with a lot

hollow ibex
warm schooner
#

even with CAB you are going to go down in a split second

#

so you have to also leverage confirmed kill to ensure your toughness stays at max so you don't instantly drop

#

also what siro said

severe jolt
#

Oh you're talking about the thing where you're getting hit by gunners. You can just avoid the guns by not getting in their line of sight.

warm schooner
#

that's what you are not getting

#

you do not have that luxury in high havoc

#

some maps like magistrati are notorious for having sections where every sightline is covered by gunner/sniper/reaper/shooter fire. And when I say fire I mean it's a fucking torrent of fire.

#

it is nothing like even auric maelstorm

#

psyker bubbles go down in seconds

severe jolt
hollow ibex
#

Gunner just has to vaguely point in your direction

Sooo best blessings for knife?

I thought the meta melees for vet was combaxe, ds and psword

unreal nova
#

Then you pick something you want.

#

Yeah basically that

steel veldt

kk

little path
#

Uncanny is a must pick then if you have the bleed talent then grab merciless killer

#

If not uuuuh

#

I don't remember rn

hollow ibex
#

MK's not worth it on vet

#

you have to path to serrated blade, which is generally not something most builds will do

unreal nova
#

If you must, just tell us what looks good to you and we'll just tell you if t's good.

unreal nova
hollow ibex
#

uncanny + riposte/flesh tearer/lacerate/precog are pretty standard

hollow ibex
#

precision strikes is only 30%

#

but it's hard to fit serrated onto most builsd

unreal nova
#

Considering how taxing to really run it.

little path
#

Or does enough

hollow ibex
#

uncanny + lacerate/lacerate/lacerate/lacerate/ are pretty standard

@tame lodge fixed it for you

little path
#

It's just the cost on talent tree that makes it not great to run

fading yarrow
#

I'm getting so used to playing Arbites that I saw several around me with their dogs and thought, "Where's my dog? I want to pet him," before looking around, not seeing him, then remembering I'm on Vet atm

Not every reject deserves a dog

#

2500? oh god

this and armourbane will take forever

scenic vapor

so notice how it doesnt say anything about ranged or weakspot kills

#

u can get 10 stacks and then kill in meele

#

doesnt take that long

safe raptor
#

oh

#

you're right

#

thanks

#

so it's just armourbane then

scenic vapor
#

granade build on no ammo pickups should do the trick

normal bay
#

Take the camouflage node and crouch the whole time lol

scenic vapor
#

and kraks are pretty fun anyways so its no that bad

Mag dump hordes with recon like the vet you were meant to be

strange crow

scenic vapor
#

500 i think

#

yeah 500

calm shard
#

feels like 5 million with how worthless krak grenades are

scenic vapor
#

I still like em

#

not very usefull but fun

remote sonnet
#

It is useful, but too specialized.

safe raptor
#

the problem is that anything but bulwarks/crushers will be killed by your teammates before they explode

calm shard
#

I think they're both too specialized and not useful personally

#

the literal only enemy type I think they have use for is if there is more than 3 bulwarks

remote sonnet
#

Krak can't kill bulwark in H35+...

scenic vapor
#

wdm my single target anti armor grenade cant kill that singular armored enemy staregryn

heavy rover
#

bruh

remote sonnet
#

I only keep it on for boss fighting build. Hate it or whatever, but deleting Havoc bosses quickly is a qol.

#

Especially the hardened monstrosity...

normal bay
#

But kraks barely tickle H40 bosses?

remote sonnet
#

If it barely tickles, then whatever you are using it not that much better.

quiet valley
#

The Helbore IV literally does more dmg per shot than a Krak Grenade for boss killing

normal bay
#

I'm pretty sure one PS stab does more damage lol

shrewd flax
#

which hellbore do you use?

quiet valley
#

IV

heavy rover
#

mk iiia, but that's because I like armourbane on it

calm shard
#

2400 base damage

#

2-3 swings from the usual good boss damage melee outdoes them

quiet valley
#

Helbore casually hit 10k plus before team buffs/debuffs

remote sonnet
#

In a vacuum yes. When it gets debuffed, it does numbers.

scenic vapor
#

if crit yeah but it crits most of the time so i guess thats no a real point

#

Im talking about hellbore ^

shrewd flax
#

how many enemies does hellbore go through?

#

can you use it to clear horde?

scenic vapor
#

not really

normal bay
#

You need to run hotshot 1 to cleave

steel veldt
#

My friend gave me a really cool looking build but it lacks a keystone, that is possible right? To not have a keystone but have a great build?

heavy rover
#

yes

scenic vapor
normal bay
#

Yes

steel veldt
heavy rover
#

vet can easily run without a keystone

#

even on havoc 40

blazing jetty
#

All the vet keystones have very subtle effects

calm shard
#

well no they don't

shrewd flax
#

sometimes I see hellbore killing to enemeis at the same time when they are relly close together

calm shard
#

they're just all so far down and such a pain in the ass to build for that it can easily be not worth it

#

when it means missing essential talents outside of them

arctic rampart
#

well if you're good at tagging that's a pretty impactful one IMO. weap spec induces a more fun playstyle. I almost always take one

steel veldt
#

Zealot does need his keystones though

#

they are amazing

Same as bolter

Agripina Braced Autogun

fading yarrow
#

I am discheesed

#

Very discheesed

#

Silo Cluster, Ogryn got hurled over an edge, another ran off and died, another woke a Daemonhost, then left before it could kill him and depart, which meant it then aggroed onto me

#

Discheesure.

past stratus
#

that has been my experience lately

#

idk if the game is harder or the players worse, but it has been way more difficult to finish missions these days

hollow ibex
#

Auric got hands now these days

#

So that might have to do with it

calm shard
#

aurics can be high intensity now

#

kinda goes hard

past stratus
#

maybe that's the case

#

before the patch Auric was a chill difficulty to play for fun

hollow ibex
#

I really hate how the campaign missions are basically low intensity now

calm shard
#

they're not even just low intensity

#

they're lower than low intensity

ember nest
calm shard
#

because kraks are the worst blitz in the game

#

and usually only kill 1 or 2 things per throw

austere mica
calm shard
#

brain burst has kinetic flayer node

#

that makes it the 2nd worst blitz in the game

#

kraks have no such luck

austere mica
#

Kraks can kill bulwarks for free which makes them ok

#

They kill bulwarks and do boss damage

fast sundial
past stratus
#

I sometimes find use with Brain Burst when using flame staff and my team mates are playing with their monitors turned off

calm shard
#

easily

fast sundial
#

worse than frags?

#

worse than smoke?

calm shard
#

by fucking miles for frags

#

they are no in the same universe as frags

fast sundial
#

never found a use for frags personally

calm shard
#

shredders are arguably the best blitz in the game

#

enormous AoE and bleed damage

#

combine with out for blood for instant full toughness if thrown at trash

#

smokes are also good

#

noticably better in havoc

#

I usually take them over frags in havoc because their utility is extremely valuable

past stratus
#

also nice stagger

#

you can use frags to revive someone

hollow ibex
#

Because frags have been the vet meta for quite some time

fast sundial
#

waveclear is incredibly whatever and kraks deal with threatening targets

hollow ibex
past stratus
#

the threatening targets get dealt with easier with any of the good Vet guns

hollow ibex
#

Shreds mixed hordes

fast sundial
hollow ibex
#

Frags have strong stagger

past stratus
#

if you mean Crushers they do get staggered

hollow ibex
#

And the delayed fuse actually helps there

#

You can shout

past stratus
#

but also helps you kill them since the bleed is quite sizeable

hollow ibex
#

Drop nade and rez

#

Nade will go off while rezzing

#

And buy you enough time usually

past stratus
#

Krak is good if you're low level vet with shit weapons and ogryns are the bane of your existence

hollow ibex
#

true

I like to give credit to things that help new players go through the initial struggles of the game

#

wow boltgun is cool

#

i like how it turns the gross people into red paste |:)

fading yarrow
#

I would like to apologize to the Heavy Laspistol

#

I was unfamiliar with its game

surreal rune
#

man i decided to try the krak grenade penance

#

this feels like shit

past stratus
#

I never came around with the las pistol, it feels awful compared to the bistol or Revolver, which I kind of consider run and gun weapons

fast sundial
#

not really anyway

fading yarrow
#

Yeah

#

I just like the feeling of clicking on Elites' and Specialists' heads and having a bajillion rounds

past stratus
#

idk about niches, they are just guns I use with WS

#

and the reload node

#

that's my abstract categorization of them

vague wigeon
#

You want to spam-fire into weakspots with it instead of making single shot

past stratus
#

yeah

honest quiver
#

best weapon to pair with boltgun? i'm using the power sword but i feel like i might need something quicker.
also, since it's so slow, i should mainly prioritize elites yeah? it's a weird adjustment not killing shooters at range since i'm trying to conserve ammo. am i doing it right?

past stratus
#

not a fan of that (the laspistol gameplay)

honest quiver
#

i don't really like the chainsword but i'll give heavy sword a shot once i finish power sword mastery

tame lodge
#

Chainsword is pretty good for poxxers and the lowers

#

Anything bigger

#

Boltgun

vague wigeon
#

It's very safe and simple weapon

#

And will compensate lack of mobility with bolter

strange crow
#

And its horde clear isn't the best

#

Which is what bolter needs most

calm shard
#

even bruisers feel pretty insurmountable with chainsword

vague wigeon
#

On blessings

#

Imo the only thing you need is serrased blade to not take lacerate

strange crow
#

Serrated blade 🥀

strange crow
vague wigeon
#

For this

#

Mercy killer is basically always active

strange crow
#

Not worth it lol

#

Will not help much with horde clear anyways

vague wigeon
#

Expecially if you are goung right side build

strange crow
#

Increasing a situational fraction of your damage by a further fraction is not worth it no

vague wigeon
#

Becuse you don't have other option to ramp damage

#

You can take lacerate and rending

strange crow
vague wigeon
#

But it will have lower damage

#

Because weapon spec

#

If you go weapon spec you want agile engagement(If you agree to discard survivalist)

#

And if you go agile engagement - serrated blade is nearby

strange crow
#

Brotha what

#

And yes serrated blade is nearby but that doesn't mean u have to take it

#

Basically you're wasting a point and a blessing to do some mediocre extra damage

vague wigeon
#

I mean, the same reason people are using thsi shit with plasma

# austere mica None of those are their fault though

the skins thing is definitely GW's fault. I am told that the skins that are already in-game but fatshark refuses to add to the shop (e.g., red arbites trench coat, crucis nightshade camo for the new weapons, artstation armors, etc.), they have to go through some sort of approval process by GW.

#

Is that accurate? Or is there another explanation of why they're not added

GW is extremely throughout with that shit

This is GW, they get serious. Is safer to retract, ask, and return if is approved.

i trust your speculation and agree with everything

GW has rejected stuff before. They are as heavy handed as the actual Imperium in things.

the other day one of my friends that got into W40k recently found out about the Wacraft/Starcraft thing, and it is always amazing viewing that whole shitshow through the eyes of someone new

i'm looking at the VIc and it looks like a straight downgrade from the mk XIV

less ammo, less damage

what am i missing

And in havoc, it basically also is single target.

quick burrow

i love that weapon

#

what about for havoc ?

tall torrent
honest quiver
#

this is the dumb stupid build now

hollow ibex
#

precision strikes is good, ammo is basically a tax node in auric oftentimes tbh, and then sup complex is good. but they're not vital like the center tree and right tree are on many builsd

#

center tree is just straight up mandatory on every build

#

right tree is important if you plan on meleeing

honest quiver
#

that's where i'm at right now

#

i love power sword

#

so weapons specialist seemed like it would work well with what i'm doing

#

i do kinda want superiority complex though so i might drop a couple more

I'm learning helbore tho

i've been doing h1 h2 then l3 for hordes because im simpleminded

safe kiln

even with weapon spec its dodges are horrendous

honest quiver
#

yeah it has a pretty rough dodge profile

tall torrent
#

learning helbore IV + power sword with weapon spec

honest quiver
#

makes up for how sick it is

tall torrent
#

it's not as bad as I thought

hollow ibex
#

i tried helbore with WS

#

feels janky tbh

safe kiln
#

helbore prob best off with mmf or focus

tall torrent
#

it is

#

but power sword op

honest quiver
#

mmf for sure on helbore

tall torrent
#

and MF's design is horrendous

honest quiver
#

once you lock in to using iron sights you should definitely be hitting weak spots more often than not

hollow ibex
#

i've come around MMF a bit on certain builds

#

because tunnel vision + CAB is very funny

honest quiver
#

i think if i was using it on anything else i'd hate it tbh

tall torrent
#

I just throw 1 point into WS for how front loaded it is

honest quiver
#

same that's what i'm doing

hollow ibex
past stratus
#

I used WS before the buff with the Helbore because of a random guide I saw on the website. You had like 2s to aim and shoot lmao

nowadays it is probably way more comfortable

little path
#

IMO the biggest problem with infantry lasguns is that they're semi auto

quick burrow
#

i went and got a full auto mod that lets you hold down the mouse, game changer IMO

little path
#

I use it too

quick burrow
#

has some kick to it though but its wierd because its graphical rather than moving the curser

little path
#

I think the only weapons it's useful on are the staffs and infantry lasgun

tacit sonnet

whats the problem

quick burrow
#

revolver goes BOOM inf las goes pe.....w

#

u gota spam the pe....w to do deeps

fervent citrus
#

i like the pew

little path
#

revolver fires 6 devastating shots

fervent citrus
#

but either way i do like the revolver too

little path
#

infantry lasguns got 40+ rounds and I gotta mash that shit 10 times a second

fervent citrus
#

why the recon then

#

or is it just because its full auto

little path
#

recon has strong crit potential, full auto, massive magazine

fervent citrus
#

you couldve said just strong crit potential and i'd get it lol

unreal nova
little path
#

infantry las is still good, just annoying to use

#

and I think lower damage output?

honest quiver
#

hey this build is super fun

little path
#

which build

honest quiver
#

precision strikes and superiority complex really tied it together

honest quiver
#

did well though, just did auric twins

fervent citrus
#

that and im extremely conflicted on...

#

a lot for everyone outside of arbitrator

tame lodge
#

Arby's is so mid

little path
#

what are you conflicted on?

#

@tall torrent Does opening salvo just work on every shot of the infantry lasgun?

fervent citrus
#

ngl damn near everything, but especially melee choices

little path
#

conflicted because you have a lot you want to use

#

or conflicted because a lot seem bad

fervent citrus
#

the former

#

im running into what made me burn out of darktide: i suck at choosing stuff

little path
#

are you looking for just fun weapons or the meta weapons

fervent citrus
#

either

little path
#

Fun AND good

fervent citrus
#

id be down for either extreme or a mix of both

#

anyway emperor's gift just swooped in and gave me a near perfect chainsword

#

all 80 except for 60 pen

little path
#

I like to run the chain axe

#

easy to use, goofy, fun

fervent citrus
#

oh i was just trying that, but what put me off is it is so slow to swing

#

though that mgiht be the mark xii

#

i cant have the mk iv

little path
#

yeah if you can get to the mk4 that one is the good one

#

super easy to use

#

heavy attack for horde clear, light attack to saw into single targets

#

If you want the meta options you have the Combat axe, dueling sword and Power sword

fervent citrus
#

POWER SWORD?

little path
#

Personally I would recommend the dueling sword since it's the easiest to use

fervent citrus
#

THE POWER SWORD?

little path
#

ye

fervent citrus
#

i thought that was a noob trap because its only vanguard attacks

little path
#

nah, it's good

fervent citrus
#

axe i guess makes sense, though im rusty on what kind of axes

little path
#

combat axe is a meta option

fervent citrus
#

ok i mixed it up with the tac axe

little path
#

chain axe is fun

#

only downside about combat axe is you really need a "perfect" one

#

60 in mobility 80 everything else

fervent citrus
#

i mean that's not hard

honest quiver
#

not hard to find one, just need to wait for the shop a few times

little path
#

mk3 is the meta one

honest quiver
#

what's hard is empowering it

fervent citrus
#

WELL

honest quiver
#

if you are resource poor

fervent citrus
#

space sicne i lack image perms allow me to dm you

honest quiver
#

which can happen quite quickly if you are empowering a lot of stuff

#

i wasted much of my diamantine 😔

fervent citrus
#

i got a lil present from papa brunt :3

little path
#

nah that one sucks

#

spit in brunt's rations

fervent citrus
#

and i mixed finesse with mobility FU

little path
#

also if you get one that's like

#

starting at very low mobility

#

it can feel super shitty to use

#

you will feel like a slug when dodging

#

kinda why I recommend the dueling sword if you just need an easy to use, strong weapon

fervent citrus
#

and the one i have has the exact combo i want on the axe lol

#

the one power sword i got has 80s except in cleave

little path
#

that's good

#

cleave is the dump stat

#

on powersword

fervent citrus
#

whats the dump stat on the dueling sword

#

mine has 60 on mobility, 80 everything else

little path
#

mobility

fervent citrus
#

oh

#

ok

little path
#

no wait
