go MkIII first

#

to ease your way into MkIV

calm shard
#

actually if I'm going to be clip dumping helbore I should be doing it with one with its default sights

normal bay
#

Nah, send it om the MkIV

calm shard
#

instead of the modded one that's more comfortable

normal bay
#

IV has better irons and is more forgiving with aim, since you can kill with some cheat shots, as long as they crit

past stratus
#

some people can't go straight IV because it is too slow

#

I blame tik tok

calm shard
#

IV is slow

#

It has a really long delay between shots, and a long time to charge to full damage

#

And its bayonet is clunky as FUCK to use

past stratus
#

the bayonet is criminal

#

hateful even

calm shard
#

it's slower, does less damage and less stagger

#

but hey it has a tiny amount of cleave so you can hit (and not kill) up to 3 enemies :)

#

oh also it has a bug where if you mash the special button it actually takes longer to swing

#

HOPE YOU LIKE THE RHYTHM

past stratus
#

at least you can still kill unarmored little guys with it if it is only a couple

distant plaza
#

is there any recommended secondary weapon to go along with a shock maul?

tame lodge
#

Boltgun

hollow ibex
#

Yeah something with good boss damage

quick burrow
#

i play my zealot often and when i do its triple sprint efficiency curios and knifelonger

past stratus
#

do you also stealth ahead of your team and aggro the whole map?

quick burrow
#

i agro everything then stealth behind my team to hide in the shadows waiting for the right moment to T bag the downed psyker

#

its why they call me smallsocks

leaden gazelle
#

I've only been in the game for a bit but I was shocked we can't put sights on any gun

#

The iron sights are really clean on bolts but I'm like squinting irl on some of these shots

#

😭

#

Do not complain about the relics blessed by the Omnissiah 😠

#

gotcha wasnt sure if it was a steam workshop download or nexus

#

ty !

orchid hemlock
#

Once you have it installed, just turn on the setting that keeps the crosshair on the screen when aiming down sights

calm shard
#

alternatively if you have a strong PC you can use Weapon Customization which just lets you actually put sights on the guns

#

#

Guys, is worth spending 3 points to get reciprocity-desperado in a general plasma/power sword build for high havoc? Or better spending those 3 points elsewhere?

tame lodge
#

It's worth it

hot crag
#

Thanks 🫡

livid hill
#

How do you guys use power sword

#

It feels really unsatisfying in my hands because it is so weak when not charged

past stratus
#

You charge it

#

Before every swing

#

Serious answer is that power cycler is a mandatory blessing to increase the amount of powered swings you can do

hollow ibex
#

It’s actually a pretty good weapon to train melee fundamentals tbh

ocean swallow
#

you can also animation cancel the charging by blocking after activating

#

makes it a bit smoother

tame lodge
#

When it loses charges

#

You charge it again

#

Heretic slayer 40k when powered

#

Pool noodle when unpowered

livid hill
#

Its just inconvenient to constantly power it

#

I really hope they buff the non charged power sword and also make it a heat system like the relic blade

#

Maybe its heat fills quicker to balance

past stratus
#

It is and a lot of vets are bored of it. But it is a heretic blender when activated so it is our best melee overall

livid hill
#

Its better than the chainsword unfortunately so im gonna try it with my commissae cospaly

past stratus
#

The Combat Axe is another decent weapon if you can't stand the power sword anymore

livid hill
tame lodge
#

Combat

#

Axe

#

Tactical shit is axe anyways

livid hill
#

No its not but it doesnt matter cause its not commissar

#

Have you ever seen a commissar wielding just a fucking axe?

past stratus
#

Idk there is that one famous dude that uses a ork power claw

#

After that, everything is game

hollow ibex

That's bait

I'd say that was a decent bait

#

I tried a new build last night and I was presently surprised

tame lodge
#

Carpet?

#

Yeah I think Carpet stated that Rashad is a power axe

#

I never heard the full explanation though

ember nest
tame lodge
#

Idk ask Carpet

ember nest
#

Whos carpet again

tame lodge
#

@austere mica

#

Yo

#

Rashad Power Axe yes no?

#

Now we play the waiting game

ember nest
#

Ah apparently its because a mini that has it labels it as a power axe

#

Funny considering we must have yanked out the damn batteries

tame lodge
#

So it is but it isn't

#

😭

ember nest
#

Is this where they took the double barrel and autopistol from too

long dove
#

Deadshot + Combat Shotgun is a fun combo

ember nest
#

And I guess the rumbler/kickback

tame lodge
#

Ah yes
Necromunda I guess

#

Carrying Hive cities since

#

95?

strange crow
#

That was originally a Necromunda kit?

tame lodge
#

No idea

#

It's just that Necromunda is Necromunda

#

You imagine
They have it

strange crow
#

Ahh ok I thought u were talking abt Munda’s miniature range

#

Necromunda is indeed goated

#

(Original betta ofc)

long dove
#

How good do yall think Deadshot is?

balmy flume
tame lodge
#

It's eh but has niche uses

long dove
#

Been trying it with the Agri Combat Shotty

#

it's really fun

past stratus
#

Deadshot is a stamina black hole in a class with horrible stamina regen.

hollow ibex
#

It’s a funny meme

#

how do you build the objectivly best melee weapon the shovel ?

calm shard
#

maniac/carapace skullcrusher/uncanny iirc

#

At least that's how I built mine

arctic rampart
#
[H1 → H2]
Single target:
PA → [L1 → L2 (→ SP) → L3] ```
arctic rampart
long dove
arctic rampart
#

that's my point. do you actually think its good? no

#

is it fun? sure

calm shard
#

And even then Deadshot is far more consistent crit chance if only my gun needs the crit

#

This is 100% biased from me playing too much Exe+MMF but Deadshot is not as bad as people say it is

arctic rampart
#

reciprocity is like always up even in aurics though

calm shard
#

Niche sure, but not weak in that niche

calm shard
long dove
calm shard
#

Maybe it's a lag thing and the game considering my dodges not good enough

arctic rampart
calm shard
#

But I rarely have Reciprocity active as often as I'd like it to be, and end up running out of ammo with it on heavy ranged builds for Helbore/Recon

#

I have that installed

long dove
#

i still need to figure out how to make my mods work

arctic rampart
#

the strongest mod is probably healthbars, so start with that. first time doing mod base stuff + 1 mod might take you 30m. after that it's real easy and you can even do it in game with developer mode ctr+R

#

another sneaky awesome mod is numericui. pure UI help, also lets you show remaining dodges which I think is clutch

arctic rampart
calm shard
#

I almost exclusively play aurics and havocs

#

Reciprocity is great when I'm playing more melee centric builds for vet

#

But I usually try and position away from the bad men who want to stab me with their poop knives when doing ranged builds

#

Because I kinda need the space to shoot things

#

So Reciprocity just doesn't end up active

arctic rampart
#

Hmm when I was doing meme onslaught recon lasgun build I was hipfire shooting and still could use reciprocity. I think with ADS though it would suck

which mk is the better one ?

ok the Chaxe is pretty funny on bosses I gotta admit

#

I got shield blasted and killed twice though

#

that one thing where the twins blast their shield and you just die instantly

quartz adder
#

hey my friend is new to PC gaming and shooters

#

he's almost max level vet

#

he still goes down in malice and is fighting for his life in heresy

calm shard
#

good for him

quartz adder
#

i didnt ask the question yet!!!

quartz adder
#

can someone here find or make a build thats super tanky and easy to play

calm shard
#

veteran cannot be super tanky in the way that other classes (psyker excluded) can be

quartz adder
#

ive tried giving him max toughness shout with plasma

calm shard
#

vet and psyker are the games 2 squishy boys

quartz adder
calm shard
#

fascinating

#

on zealot, ogryn, and arbites that is one talent node

quartz adder
#

im not saying he's the wall

narrow frost
quartz adder
#

but saying vet is psyker level squish

narrow frost
#

he is

quartz adder
#

i must be living under a rock

#

or have found hidden knowledge

#

on how to be a tanky vet

#

but anyways

quartz adder
tall torrent
#

Cuz vet is the only class with no good non-kill-based toughness gain

quartz adder
#

with this

narrow frost
#

whatever he wants

#

that is basic build

#

with all the toughness nodes and iron will

inland eagle
#

guys how is heavy sword mk IX?

narrow frost
#

amazing

calm shard
#

very good

narrow frost
#

a horde mulcher

elder vessel
calm shard
#

can't kill carapace, but kills everything else

narrow frost
#

can kill cara fine with using the special attack

elder vessel
#

get a lil bit of tgh for each second an enemy spends surpressed

narrow frost
#

if you wanna see it in havoc here

#

mk9 doesnt really have a fun moveset imo

#

6 is my fav

#

6 or 7

calm shard
#

serrated blade gaming???

inland eagle
#

is it better than devils claw mk4?

tall torrent
narrow frost
#

whats "better" in your thinking?

tall torrent
#

Most enemies are completely immune to suppression

narrow frost
#

Heavy sword does one of the best horde clear

#

Dclaw has the funny parry but some low flak damage

elder vessel
calm shard
#

it's a little low yeah

elder vessel
#

typically they shoot you

#

so like

#

shoot them

#

supress them

calm shard
#

i've got a better idea

#

shoot them

#

kill them

elder vessel
#

Get the tgh back fron when they shot you

#

killing them with gun doesn't get the tgh back

#

unless you got that one talent

calm shard
#

actually all 3 toughness regen talents up top for vet give it back from shooting them

#

well that one doesn't unless it's a gunner

tame lodge
elder vessel
#

yeah but you gotta kill them, which requires more bullets than suppressing them

#

if you go back to what bath.rawr said

tall torrent
tall torrent
#

A good start would be to make catch a breath actually good

#

Completely rework mechanics

elder vessel
#

brug

#

I propose a talent that rewards you for supressing enemies

#

and you give a weapon that isnt very good at supression

past stratus
#

I'm becoming very pro-smoke grenade

#

the more I play with it

calm shard
#

oh yeah lemme go grab a weapon that is

serene bough
#

i feel like vet should've had a steady grip kind of talent

elder vessel
serene bough
#

makes sense to me that a sharpshooter should have a talent that regens toughness for being in ADS

hearty panther
#

Ogryn is sharpshooter confirmed

past stratus
#

I think Vet needs toughness resistance so it doesn't evaporate the second a groaner farts in your general direction

hearty panther
#

Vet already has like 70% TDR

calm shard
#

vets main durability problem is lack of regen

#

like this is it outside of VoC/Infiltrate

#

and because of the way veteran's skill tree is laid out

#

you're probably not fitting more than one, maybe two of them

interesting people

narrow yacht
#

i just got the penance for killing 5 highlighted enemies with a weak spot hit during a single use of volley fire and i wasn't using volley fire

#

unless voice of command counts as volley fire despite it not highlighting enemies

tame lodge
#

Yeah

unreal nova

#

also does anyone know the approximate distance i need to be for the long bomb penance?

unreal bone
unreal nova
unreal nova
narrow yacht
# unreal nova No. It's just bugs.

well i'll take the free penance points trying to scrape together 50 more to get the next torso set at 3800 because that psyker and ogryn piece are nice

#

oh it's 3500 not 3800 still only 50 more to go

unreal nova
#

Easiest is just playing a higher difficulty tbh.

inland eagle
#

any idea why i keep getting disconnected from the game?

#

like i can rejoin

#

but it keeps disconnecting me to a screen

narrow yacht
#

i would like to but these teams that can't be bothered to try and stick together on heresy and getting swarmed make that pretty difficult

calm shard
#

default FoV align enemies head with bottom of screeen

#

TAP throw

inland eagle
#

hab dryekjo mission

calm shard
#

or just like

#

do it in a horde

#

obviously somewhere without a ceiling

#

should be p easy

narrow yacht
#

what's the tap throw button it's not in keybinds and when i pull out my grenade it only lets me aim

ember nest
#

bro was not having a good time

calm shard
#

as in the button you use to throw

#

just tap it instead of holding it

calm shard
#

usually not their fault too xd

narrow yacht
calm shard
#

like that

#

at ~20-ish meters

#

I said 12 before because I misremembered the distance

#

oops

narrow yacht
#

i was doing all that in the meat grinder and it was really unreliable, only once out of 6 throws did it not hit the ground and sit there for a couple seconds before blowing despite throwing the exact same way every time

#

i got another try every 60 seconds in a match and only has to happen once so i'll just keep trying it

calm shard
#

Like I said if you're playing on default FoV you line up the enemies head with the bottom of your screen

#

which is what I did in that clip

narrow yacht
#

i don't know if you missed the part where isaid i was doing ALL that but it was said

#

it wasn't quick throwing is the issue i'm having

#

and i'm not meaning to be disrespectful towards you i appreciate the help but the thing just isn't working right and you aren't seeming to understand that

narrow yacht
#

an entire match later only one time did it quick throw and blow above the enemy heads but the penance is done

unreal nova
#

That one is really hard to show. Best go by feel.

inland eagle
#

can I use this on veteran?

calm shard
#

yes

#

weapon skins are for the weapon not per class

#

even if they're in a different store tab

strong jungle
#

tryin vet cause i like the personalities

#

honestly as cool as it is to be some exceptional pseudo-superbeing or something of the sort i think the “everyman” option of the vet is still cool

narrow yacht
#

i give up on marked for death i keep getting 3 and then one fo the teammates staggers the whole group and i miss the 4th

#

or an arbites with their shotgun cutting the whole horde down instantly

fair jay
#

Their shout of command goes so hard

calm shard
#

female cutthroat genuinely might be my favorite VA in the entire game

#

and nobody fuckin' plays them

#

including myself of course

fair jay
#

Oh cool I play that one

#

However I’m nobody so that tracks

strong jungle
#

actually yeah i am gonna do that
before i get invested lmao

my favorite VA is the arbites with the really scraggly and hoarse voice

fair jay
#

Yaya

#

I’ve been struggling to feel like hot shot is worth it though. Idk

calm shard
#

It's a Mk V Hotshot thing

#

Doesn't take long enough to charge to justify surgical, charges too fast to justify weight of fire

#

so armourbane/hotshot

fair jay
#

V is the fast one right? That’s the one I’m using it on

calm shard
#

Oh also another thing

#

Hot Shot is bugged

#

The Tier 1 version is the best one

#

Not the Tier IV

fair jay
#

Yeah I’m using hot shot 1

calm shard
#

excellent

fair jay
#

Bugtide

#

All were missing are terminids

fair jay
#

The charge rate is entertaining but feels unneeded

red fox
sonic kayak
fair jay
#

Yeah my understanding is hotshot debuffs the hitmass of enemies hit on weakshot instead of add cleave

#

Ans that does weird things in calculation

sonic kayak
#

I don't know the specific value of Tier 1 HotShot but I know it's more than Tier 4

strong jungle
#

i like the narrative of a young nobody cadian finding purpose in the guard and eventually getting into a position of some renown only to lose it all immediately and then find new purpose in the inquisition

sonic kayak
#

They probably forgot how to make a decimal fraction again

strong jungle
#

idk how to build vet at all but i like the concept at least

red fox
#

you get just recolours of the exact same armour

fair jay
#

Hotshot 1 is like 2x better than 4 in practice I think

strong jungle
fair jay
#

I forget their names but iron will has felt super useful which reduces toughness damage by a lot when above 75%

red fox
strong jungle
#

yeah i’ve heard vet is just okay at everything instead of being good at one particular thing

fair jay
#

Once you know what toughness nodes you need the rest is just playstyle

#

That’s the impression I got at least

#

Though I haven’t heard much talk of infiltrator

red fox
#

stealth players are cowards

fair jay
#

I only ever seem to hear talk about SoC and exec

#

And it’s always “I use exec becasue it’s cool” and “SoC is too good”

calm shard
#

Just unremarkable and annoying to build for

red fox

it's kinda crap

whats the mortis trials

i dont know how you guys are paying attention to the dialogue in this game

inland eagle
serene bough
#

id rather they just enhance the PvE experience

ionic trail
#

i think i know the answer but I'll ask anyways

#

if you're running a WS keystone build with the zarona C-Shotgun

#

is there any partner blessing to Manstopper to allow it to still do a good job of killing specials

#

or is the trade off mandatory

#

this is what i currently have

(assuming you;re not just blowing everything up with a rumbler and cakewalking the game)

inland eagle

is lone wolf ever worth going? kind of weird ditching your dog like that

elfin lion

its not the most effective choice currently but i recommend the IIb

elfin lion

yea 2b with infernus

serene bough
#

i run ghost + HH

elfin lion
#

hmm that sounds cool

serene bough
#

i typically run w/ MMF but vet guide in pins recommends loadout w/ FT in mind

#

i think MMF is better

calm shard
#

FT is less effort

#

MMF is better if you're always clicking heads

#

sometimes it being more effort gets you killed

#

sometimes FT only affecting one guy means you don't kill something

inland eagle
#

why would I ditch the puppy tho

hearty panther
#

yea honestly like, the stats lone wolf gives looks completely insane

but imo, dog is still better

hollow ibex

calm shard
#

yeah but like what if your eyelids get in the way and you can't see through the 3 ogryns in your face

#

and the sun is particularly bright today

#

or any other number of things

serene bough
#

Well thats kinda why the ilas isn't really good, other options are better at its role like recon and helbore

#

Still, MMF pushes breakpoints on stalkers and dreg gunners which FT cant do by itself, and I generally think the pathing is better on the left

red fox
#

went 3 rounds without death tho so i think that's an improvement

inland eagle
#

I don’t like the idea of ditching the puppy. It’s like the identity of the class. I hope it’s not better than having the 🐶

unreal nova
calm shard
#

I can play well and tbh dog is better

#

bleed is a very reliable source of damage into hordes

#

and if properly managed dog can seriously pump damage into mixed hordes

hollow ibex

eh i'd say their power levels are pretty similar rn

you must learn the dog jank

I was just making a joke about how small the number was.

IIIa and IV are the really good ones

#

V is just regular good poor old boy

#

Having to suffer being adequate

fair jay
#

I see

fervent citrus
#

popping in here because iv seen this on vet first, how do you get the triple barrel shotgun

calm shard
#

In a different universe in terms of damage compared to every other gun that is not the bolter

fervent citrus
#

oh yeah it is i just cant comprehend that sight

calm shard
#

they get weapon specialist keystone that automatically reloads it tho

#

the "triple barrel shotgun" is a nickname for an arbites build that uses their increased clip size talent to give the double barrel a third shell

fair jay
#

What makes the IIIa helbore good? I already knew the IV one was good

calm shard
fervent citrus
#

wth ok then

calm shard
#

Like a lot faster at everything

#

Mk IV has an irritating delay to every little thing it does

#

And you either get used to it and adore the gun, or don't and hate it forever

fair jay
#

Honestly I don't mind the delay, but clearing hordes with V occasionally is so goofy and funny i can't help but like it hotashiPensive

#

i probably need to stop using it so it won't hold me back if it's the weakest helbore i guess

fervent citrus
#

i'll keep the perfect roll i found on my psyker ig

#

i wish i could exchange it between characters

calm shard
#

Use it if you like it

fervent citrus
#

i might find myself a helbore because the recon i cant rly find the power in it

fair jay
#

What's your trouble with the recon? For both psyker and veteran it's a great gun

barren cave
#

recon las is crazy

#

slap infernus on it

fervent citrus
#

the vrak mkv infantry autogun has the same issues but it feels like i can actually do damage with it

barren cave
#

the vraks autogun is just very good

#

its very reliable

MMF+exe stance vraks infantry auto

#

one shot headshot gunners

fervent citrus
#

yeah with scrier's the vrak infantry is kind of stupid

calm shard

you can even put onslaught on it if you wanna never swap off the gun

#

your ammo tho

i cant deny the fantasy of lasering enemies and crowds, but this is why i like the revolver more on vet

calm shard
#

have you considered shotgun?

fervent citrus
#

or just in general

barren cave
#

agri shotgun is crazy too

#

its very reliable

#

on both zealot and vet

#

its really good at sniping stuff if you ads

fervent citrus
#

tbh arbites has made shotguns boring lol

calm shard
#

this gun is havoc viable apparently

#

on veteran

barren cave
#

is that both barrels

calm shard
#

because guaranteed manstopper crits on it turns rager hordes to paste

#

yeah

#

only have to use both for ragers because legs

#

single barrel kills dreg ragers

fervent citrus
#

actually wait maybe im using the wrong kind of recon

calm shard
#

blue for entirely relying on infernus damage

#

green for having decent base damage on top

fervent citrus
#

i have whichever one has the highest firerate

calm shard
#

brown has niche value IF you are using deadshot

#

yeah that's the blue one

fervent citrus
#

oh

#

that firerate makes it so unbearable to aim

calm shard
#

it also has a lot of spread

#

especially if you're being suppressed

#

green doesn't do that as much

barren cave
#

i think 12 is the high firerate one

#

I think

calm shard
#

if the number is not single digit I do not remember them

12 is high fire rate, 14 is slow one, and VIc is middle child

builds on gameslantern looks like a popularity poll, is there any build creator I can follow for some good builds?

#

I heard the name BigDoms and Mister E

#

is there anyone else I should look for? and for other classes as well?

now that im not in a match i can go quicky look

Eh not really

fervent citrus
#

i have the mk XII

calm shard

Just the more sure they are that their shit build is a good one

fervent citrus
#

the stinking pisser is it has the big stats but the dump is mobility

hollow ibex
#

dump should be collat but mobility is fine

modern veldt
#

"bigger" you mean the upvote in gameslantern?

hollow ibex
modern veldt
#

that's a great advice

#

at least I can stop sorting by that

hollow ibex
#

if you want builds, ask under the class channel

#

/ check pins

#

this server is where you can find all the sweats, tryhards, and nerds doing breakpoint calcs

modern veldt
#

I also crawling through the detailed guides, the first one I notice is about Psyker, none of the "most liked" builds have Surge in the EK staff

fervent citrus
#

whats the dump stat for the helbore

#

stability?

hollow ibex
#

yes

hollow ibex
#

or fixed rather

modern veldt
#

but in the Psyker guide on steam, said that EK staff is OP with surge, that's why I starting to get sus about the builds on gameslantern

#

oh well

#

I need to study more

fervent citrus
#

welp i got a helbore with 73 charge and 67 stab

#

fuck it whatever it works

hollow ibex
#

that one is really old

#

there's no real psyker guide anymore

#

just check the pins for builds

#

those are more recent, it's just that nobody has made a new guide

hollow ibex
#

yeah you can ignore that one

it's old

I will take more time look into the pins

Honestly mostly a skill test

man i wish i had a good dueling sword on my vet

hollow ibex
#

feels like half of it is just memorizing which maps have shit spawns tbh KEKW_ogryn

fervent citrus
#

do you guys use the mk 4 power sword or mk 3

calm shard
fervent citrus
#

calm shard
#

Mk 6 is objectively better than Mk3 in just about every way

#

sad days

unreal nova
#

Though not MINMAXXED.

calm shard
#

any time I post a build and it's the most fucked up shit

#

be afraid

barren cave
#

my fav vet is no keystone , full nade build

#

without twinned nades though, i dont think thats great even on full nade build

red fox
#

Im now all aboard the nade bus

calm shard
#

I mean it's a 20% chance to get what a 66% damage increase on your grenade throw?

#

Something like that?

barren cave
#

yeah shredder nades do a lot of work, and you get loads if you dont take a keystone and just spec into nades

calm shard
#

That's not awful

barren cave
#

its not, but its also like

#

the second nade can just go off somewhere else

#

it doesnt go in the exact same direction

#

it steers a little

calm shard
#

it only does that if you're throwing your nades really far away

barren cave
#

its still more dmg, but id rather have the talent point elsewhere

calm shard
#

Like you have to be chucking that sucker damn near 30 meters for them to be too far apart to hit the same target

red fox
#

I don't feel like any of the keystones are worth it over having a fuck ton of shredders

round flint
barren cave
#

also shredders are just really good to use in any situation

red fox
#

ridiculous

calm shard
#

FT is very basic and generally applicable, and a sizable damage boost if your whole team is ganging up on a guy

red fox
calm shard
#

Weapon Specialist is free infinite crits for single shot ranged weapons, and very reliable attack speed

round flint
#

its also great to basically always have at least 1 in the chamber

calm shard
#

that too

calm shard
#

also means you'll always have a shot to kill that specialist

#

If you take that subnode anyways

red fox
#

which weapons work well with WS actually, i've never properly tried a WS build

barren cave
#

i dont like taking the talent that gives you nades from ammo crates too, but i do love it when another vet has it KEKW_ogryn

unreal nova

barren cave
#

also no one takes exhilirating takedown right?

round flint
hollow ibex
#

in terms of bottom nodes

#

bunch of shit in the center is mandatory

#

skipping is trolling

#

after that right side is priority for reciprocity, desperado

#

ten left side for precision strikes

#

then you decide if you want trench fighter (right side) or super complex (left side

red fox
hollow ibex
#

if you commit center and left only, you basically need to take power sword to not have pathetic melee

barren cave
#

they should put trench fighter somewhere higher up tbh

hollow ibex
#

if you commit center and right only, you lose some dps on most guns

hollow ibex

desperado and reciprocity make psword feel 10x better

I still take those nodes

but im using Rashad

not great but not awful

trench fighter is like basic strong buff id like on every vet build, but its a pain to get to

also theres that one node where 3 great talents are all next to each other right before focus trget

I was using dueling sword the round before, switch the rashad to switch it up and wait a minute, why is the horde advancing why am i so slow

THIS PIECE OF SHIT

Especially since I'm already spending a skill point on something I don't want

yeah

hollow ibex
barren cave
#

also one motion is pretty good

#

as is out for blood

#

and you get the free movement speed before going to the nade nodes

calm shard

Do not remind me that I could also take exhilarating takedown jnstead of them

grand perch
round flint
#

i need to force a friend to play vet with me so i can take fire team while he takes survivalist. i want that spare point

barren cave
#

oh you take long range assassin?

#

ive been meaning to try that , but I feel like id never build 15 stacks

unreal nova
#

I could share my 'nadier WS build... Just drop skirmisher for Trench Fighter if slower melees and drop grenadier, crit chance or grenadier born leader to get precision strikes.

i always just take camo

also does anyone have a good build for doing the marksmans focus penance

#

its taking a bit

unreal nova

#

wow, that can actually work

#

phew, im glad that penance can be cheesed KEKW_ogryn

unreal nova

XD

barren cave
#

i really wanna switch off from marksman focus

unreal nova
#

It's 45 mins to go from 0 to unlock.

#

And have friend shoot trappers/dogs/etc.

#

So you can AFK more.

barren cave
#

the crouching bit on that node is so funny to me

#

like did fs really think vets were gonna crouch walk like actual snipers in darktide

grand perch
#

Crab walking is encouraged with mmf though

#

That's us mmf vets

barren cave
#

yeah but its so difficult to do all that when you're in auric +

#

its actually just hard to stand still for full 15 stacks

#

much less crouch walk

#

ogryn is just running around you in circles, meanwhile vet is crouch walking behind me " yo, im building some stacks here"

#

ofc, you dont actually have to do it, you can just stand still and shoot off heads

hollow ibex
#

set up a headshot
arbi / ogryn / trauma psyker knocks over the entire horde

that works fine

marksman builds are so annoying in the current meta

#

its so nice when you get a lil breathing room and you have a vraks autogun

#

then you hit f and just kill everyone you see

#

what does the special on agri shotgun do

#

is the slug like, worth using

hollow ibex
#

i always preload a slug when there's downtime

#

i don't think slugs only is worth it-- more of a meme

#

but slugs are very powerful

#

huge damage, guaranteed full bore proc

#

can open bulwark shields

#

throw crushers on their ass too iirc... or maybe that's with 2 slugs

nocturne mulch
barren cave
#

i have skill issue, because i load a slug, then I usually end up spending it on a grunt shooter somewhere

nocturne mulch
#

The trick is to do exactly what that keystone suggests and get weakspot kills

hollow ibex

#

still, agri shotgun is so good

#

its got really nice accuracy with ads

What weapons benefits from a WS build?

double barrel with ws is crazy

is agile engagement necessary for db ws builds?

grand perch
#

Yes

sharp trail
#

may i see an example build?

#

if you have one, or know where i could find one

sharp trail
#

is rashad mandatory for this build or can i swap it out for something like chaxe or knife, and do i need to allocate points elsewhere if i want to use them

grand perch
#

Should work with just about any melee.
You have great mixed horde clear with the DB so no great need for horde clearing melee

#

The only one you probably don't want is chainsword... Because it's bad and only does trash horde clear

#

Similar case with devils claw... You would lack anti armour and boss damage

hybrid plover
#

agile engagement isn't necessary. it's nice to have though.

#

only genuinely necessary thing is weapon specialist and the node that reloads your weapon when you get melee kills

#

or rather, kills when you have your melee weapon out to be specific

#

Im new to the class so umm..what should i build if im playing with a bolter or bolt pistol ?

normal bay

Bolter - EXE stance build with Focus target keystone. Shredders or maybe smokes if you're so inclined but they're taxed heavily

#

Bolt pistol -shout + weapon specialist. Abuse lethal prox grenade interactions

So shredders again lol

Are bolters good for frontline use fellow veterans ?

I hallucinated that veteran had rotor cannons as a blitz

#

🥺

past stratus
#

I don't feel like Veteran is lacking in damage

ember nest
#

I think they have a lot of burst but turning that into sustained and constant damage takes more work from vets that other classes

#

Which I think is fine, but ideally a rework makes more builds more comfy

hybrid plover
#

or in some crazy situations, you can stack the damage bonuses

grand perch
#

those arent reasons not to take agile engagement

hybrid plover
#

I mean, if you're going full on infiltrate, yeah no reason not to, but if you're going shout, it's in a weird spot honestly to accomodate for that

#

i really hope they rework veteran soon because the tax nodes are brutal :(

#

but yeah i've done that exact build on shout without agile and honestly, the guaranteed crits from ws already provides a hefty chunk of damage even without agile, or even those other nodes

#

especially if you're abusing flechette
