that smoke grenade is very good
Smoke grenade gud
genuinely better psyker bubble that you can get 4 of
:> (serious)
smoke is ~3 buffs away from being really good
I already use them all the time in havoc when I'm not using exe
at the very least let us see shit in the smoke/see through it
does 40k do stupid shit with like healing smoke or something?
it does in mortis trials
You can see through the smoke if you're standing in it
I just maintain object permanence and fire
Or go into it myself
ugh
And yknow, hit ping
new special ability, You press F and a volley of lasgun fire appears from offscreen and blankets the area. No it doesn't make sense, fuck you
im still traumatized by me sthrowing a smoke nade down
and my teammate getting sniperd through it
think that's been fixed
Yeh
It's been a while but when that was happening could you see the laser?
Like if you were in it.
Anyone know the dump Stat on shredder auto pistol
yeah i could see the laser through the smoke
Can you see the flash through it?
it slowly moved onto my homie and turned my homie into someone who needed to picked up in the next room
nope
Mobility
at least back then like 2 months ago
Cool
then i was like "im good dog"
Shredder autopistol > all.
back to shredders and krak
infinite stamina smoke
at least smoke not as buggy as arb dog
dog is the single most buggy entity this game has seen yet
im so sick and tired of all the suppression veteran has
as if the number one threat to vet isnt annoying ass infested poxwalkers
Anyone get the moments where DT just has sudden drops in FPS and just chugs for no reason unless you restart the client?
DT has severe memory loss issues
ngl i havent notice black magic with the dog
I rly think smoke is ~3 buffs away from being really good
ah I figureed it was that
so yeah every 3-4 hours of continuous play you have to restart
dog was so bugged where if u swapped from a dog-having loadout to lone wolf you immediately crash your game
Then when u load back in, you delete the lone wolf class, you crash again
Then u load back in, click on your original loadout, and it crashes again
Then u load back in and remake your build from scratch
yea ik this because I experienced this multiple times

what in the fatshark could cause those crashes
Couldn't play with a vet on the team
swedish coding, eternally a mystery, even to the coders themselves
💀
very peak balance fatsharl
what buffs they need in your opinion?
It's code from Ikea
only at Obesefish balance team
It's funnier/worse when you remember that Chubbyguppy helped design the engine used in this game
counter bombers' line of sight
much shorter fuse (preferably impact detonation)
some sort of interaction with stamina management
maybe some sort of interaction with stagger (makes staggering easier)
hmmmmm
I need to know if the Lucius is any good or if I’m stupid for excessively using it as a sniper
smoke threat reduction?
enemies in smoke take increased impact seems like an interesting path
Top weapon rn
no
Competing with Plasma
Lucius is Helbore right?
4 people in a smoke
congratulations none of yall will benefit from threat reduction
Yup
btw, what's up with the C.shotguns? were they buffed? they feel around the same of bad
I mix it with krak in case armored enemies get too close
yam with all due respect I don't think u understand what threat reduction actually means
enemies dont target you
Yes
ive played shroudfield plenty
no
not camo vet tho
it makes u a lower priority target for enemies, compared to ur teammates
Plasma is pretty good, rn I’m running a trench raider themed loadout though
and since when is Helbore a tope weapon?
it interacts with the slot system
it was already pretty damn good before that buff
got buffed and is now real good
Forever
just annoying to use
before then it had some pretty big dealbreaker issues
(it got buffed recently)
really? Cause of the changes to zoom and pull out?
it had big dealbreaker issues balanced out by it being a wildly pwoerful melee weapon
like, it had triple its current attack speed
but the same power, not at all unlike kerillian's javelin
Helbore's swap speed is insane good nowadays, that alone is a MASSIVE buff
mainly, draw to fire being faster, and higher maniac ADM making it actually not abysmal dogshit vs flamers
and the hitscan size got bigger for easier headshots
and the gun now has better time hitting headshots
irnically it has a harder time hitting headshots in melee
And maniacs
used to be you could aim in the geenral direction of something and stabbing it and it would be a headshot
Not when hip firing (obviously)
with that said it's still a little off from being perfect
nah, its even better now, you bad /j
hey a charged shot has decent hipfire accuracy
don't talk about my baby like that I loved the Helbore before the buffs 😠
if it had good sights and like 15~20% faster charge speed I think it'd be perfect
you can literally see the reticle tighten as you charge
i actually land hipfire headshots sometimes
also vet needs better dmg talents
so the base weapon sights arent bad
vet needs to be better
helbore currently misses some key breakpoints by 1 dmg
the vostrayan pattern sights are abysmal
vet needs new perk tree
yes 1 dmg lol
its literally pay to suck
thaanks fatshark
that sounds like BS but i believe that it can happen, its Obesefish after all
Hmm I guess I should try out my helbore again
exec stance not the play though right?
the 5% ranged dmg node needs to both be 10%
how the vet rework will feel
and the 5% melee dmg node needs to be 10% as well
I sent a bunch of wild ideas to playtester
exec stance is strong its just less safe than voc
I think I can one shot almost everything with the Helborne currently on Auric at least since I don't have the mod for the psykhanium. 2 shot Crushers with FT
which one...
way less safe
@tall torrent does the combat shotguns got real buffs in last patch or they got scammed with spagetti code? they dont feel better so far i have tried them
wdym which one
at least with ogryn you can just fire away and generate TGH
It's technically viable in the sense that if you have at least decently competent teammates you can use it
I sent them like 4 pages of just talent changes and new stuff
You can't really carry with it
yeah I know Exec is less safe but sometimes I wanna have some variety I guess
vet is pressing F to fiddle around and think twice about swapping back to melee
aquilla
wat are u talking abt
nuncio aquilla
you said playtester singular
agripinaa mk7 pretty good rn
johnny
or did you send it to multiple?
and arthiio
ahaaaaaaaa
tho arthiio I think less active rn
I didn't send to cole cuz i'm pretty sure cole will say "ur crazy for this" x30
agri is the best because fullbore and good precision, but the guns feel still quite meh
Do it anyway
You could just explain your changes
I'm significantly more radical on the "buff thing" side
changing peoples minds doesnt happen on the internet
and you wont change my mind about this
you mean the accatran? or the Zarona is now good?
fire shotgun
it was originally kantrael
Cole is pret receptive to changes
but its now accatran
a shotgun build I have running +6 Stam and deadshot is surprisingly fun
they changed a bunch of the names a while back for... reasons
i just assume its agri for long range, kantrael for fire, i could be wrong on fire
agri is great for bossing
regardless both are pretty good
but ive been too busy using other stuff
the fire one is great for bossing
agri headshot do feels good
more DPS than the exterminator
I'll tell u one small part of the doc I sent to johnny
combining every changed or new talent in there, I think it can get u somewhere like 55% faster melee atk speed on veteran
agripinaa just happens to be able to perform at long range
Thats silly
Unless its quite situational
and u can quite easily stack ranged crit chance to like 35~50% off the bat without any blessings
i cant imagine playing beetus just to equip a combat shotty
whuh?
Did you tell em to remove the annoying caveats on every talent? I don't want to get skill checked by the game constantly. I want to kill herectics and have fun
trench fighter drill 10%
competitive urge (rework) 10%
arch-militant (new) 10%
weapon specialist (rework) 10%
invigorated (rework) 10%
ok 50%
close enough
that and executioner has better sounds
best sound is the elephant gun
too bad the elephant gun has the worst damage per bullet of all 3 shotgun types
the fuck fatshark
Exec stance with infantry Autogun is pretty fun
also one of the designed build synergy was smoke giving inf stamina with 0 stam cost while u stand inside smoke
which gives inf deadshot uptime
and deadshot is reworked to only cost stam on shot fired, not over time
plus the talents that can get u like innately 35~50% ranged crit chance (without deadshot or blessings)
the result is like, if u stand inside smoke and have deadshot u can casually have like 70%+ crit chance for ur gun, while having 0 stam cost
i did like your idea that vet could generate stims
then u add crit blessing and u can easily reach 100% ranged crit chance basically permanently
More like it's finding stims while running around
Surgical should be a vet talent
you're good at shooting, you should do more shooty damage when you aim
nah, vet is so high that their blood can be turned into stims
Vet should have the zealot talent that grants recoil and spread reduction on dodge
I was more making reference to the fact Guardsman are known for scrounging
or stealing shit
the idea is that u can avg at like 20~30% extra atk speed if u rly spec into melee
trench fighter moved up into top side to be more accessible but is melee only
comp urge is reworked into cumulative RNG and boosts melee atk speed
arch militant is new, deeper down the tree but improves both melee and ranged atk speed
weapon spec nerfed from 15% to 10% melee atk speed but subnode gets u 10% so if u invest hard u can get 20%
do we have money to be that drunk? thoug that the guardsmen only did smoke, hence their nades
did you tell them to scrap infiltrate and exec stance and give us Disengage from Ranger Veteran, path?
😌
no
money is not an obstacle, theres whole tanks of perfectly non-deadly stimms in missions
I can actually send u that document lol
I thought you were on our side...
I don't mind
Yeah remove smoke nade and infiltrate and combine it into one thing
Give vet shredder nade, krak nade, and melta bomb
yeah sure send me the doc
Combine infiltrate and exe stance to be like kruber
Stealth into yuge range damage
fatshark isnt going to do that
Could I perchance see the document? It's a list of all the changes you'd like to see for vet right?
stealth needs to be group wide to work in this game imo, the Disengage bomb is perfect because of that
I feel like the best potential weapon right now for zealot would be helbore
Since only the helbore can realistically stab a boss in its weak spot from behind it
here
shit
it's the same
And TGH from dodge and dodge on sprint are a blast
just specified what base stats are changed
at the cost of no toughness boost nodes in tree
Or just do what arbites does, unavoidable +50 tgh
Vet innate ranged damage 
tremendous
80%tdr
wait till u see marksman's focus and the new stuff lol
this is NOTHING compared to the stuff at the bottom
only vs ranged
All of this is fair and balanced I'm assuming because Arby's has a shield
some would chew you into little pieces for this document lol
i think its a bit overtuned

vet is a monster in melee then
also remember that this does not include talent structure
I wasn't told to remake structure
Wat
if I did structure I think some of ur evaluations might change
hm
So the tax will stay and we would just be stat machines?
even if you put it at the bottom it would still be picked
just read lol
assumedly the majority of the shitty tax nodes were replaced by real talents
with real effects
I mean
I literally wrote out what the new grey nodes are
at the start
you think I can read?
GREY TALENT NODES
+5% total crit chance (×1)
+1 stamina (×1)
+10% ranged damage (×2)
+10% melee damage (×2)
+5% movement speed (×1)
no defense grey nodes
still think grey nodes should be gone like arbites
neat
arbites has 5 grey nodes
arbites has only 2 stat nodes
wait no 7
I overshot some things so that even if they're to be nerfed in the discussion phase they'd still be good
whereas if I write them as "balanced" imo then they get nerfed then they won't be good enough
ya
read the whole thing before u reach conclusions
because if u think smth is broken/op then it's very likely that smth even better is a few lines below
oh my god it's Ranger Veteran from Vermintide 2 :)
now hear me out path
Ranger Veteran heheheheeheh
give vet a talent that does increasing stagger with consecutive weakspot hits
can only minor stagger ogryn enemies and maulers and doesnt work on bosses
has a grace period of 5 seconds
so you dont lose it with silliness
maybe smth for exploit weakness
but idk
please make it in such a way that i can stagger a crusher in 1 second of autopistol fire
I don't rly want vet to be a stagger oriented class
this is more rewarding precision
which vet is centered around
did u read the whole thing yet
vet to me should be more cleave/finesse oriented
also some ideas I had aren't present in this
Zealot should be cleave oriented
cuz I made this ~same time as arb release
Vet should be finesse oriented
I've since had some newer ideas that are perhaps dumber
maybe itd be bad but i kind of want bh's ability
They kind of already are
one enormous shot
I just want u to know that I put the "press ult to reload gun" feature into a keystone
Their unique weapons have some high cleave
And they either stagger and reduces mass
Or have access to Perfect Strike
being Bardin is all I want
let me play Ranger Veteran in 40k Fatshark >:(
make survivalist a passive and let me drop little ammo things on the ground
so I can choose different auras without getting the stinky eye
did u finish whole thing yet
I just got to the new stuff
The Empire is replete with Bounty Hunters, men and women who bring a form of justice to the deserving – or at least to those capable of meeting a hefty fee. It is a profession people by scoundrels and the desperate, by deserters and thrillseekers. And just occasionally by men so driven that there is no longer a place for them, even amongst the...
Yeah just add in like an aimed plasma pistolshot
very good
Surprised u have no comments for marksman’s focus stuff
Actually an inferno pistol
Put it on like a 20sec cd
going away if you miss
instead of from fucking walking
I can kind of imagine running it just for the absurd passive toughness replenishment on melee vet
your crime is your miserable existence, your sentence is death blam
I wanted all 3 keystones to be mediocre-ish baseline but got significantly better as u invest more points into them
pure melee vet just running this+ 20 stacks for the 100% toughness replenishment
barely using their gun
Nah WS is still way better for melee in this document
yeah I know
But MF is designed to be used as a mega-investment keystone
but still
What Blessing should I run on Mk.IX Infantry Las
Rending is “total”
I was using HH Falter
Ghost + headhunter
related question because I would like to use infantry autogun with this
is there a cooldown when losing stacks from missed shots
No 
I was thinking Deadly Accurate but ghost works
well I can still work with that
No cooldown from missing headshot so u can lose stacks incredibly fast on automatics
Zealot uses it better
Tight hipfire, reduced recoil, high crit
It even has a shoot faster button
Yea but I don’t play Zealot lol
Alternatively I can gain them fast by just not missing
I see no way this could possibly backfire
Then stick to a recon gun
Yes, it’s designed for skill
Ilas has annoying recoil
You'll like it more when it performs well
Negative infinity
I enjoy it on my Vet build
And I ain’t gonna be convinced otherwise
What's the best vigilant mk
Probably the one that doesn't burst fire
coolio
MKV and MKIII Helbore do a good job at being a better Ilas
infantry las could use some minor help
doesn't need to be super strong but at least let it be not awkward and painful to use
Poor beam width, exceptional recoil
ilas fucking sucks
Laspistol performs more in line with the ideal lasgun
Minimal recoil, ease of use, efficient
cuz the reaction I got from @grand perch who plays helbore is very different
I don't really see anything substantially wrong with it, but I do want it
carnally
now that you mention it
a stim regen talent would be fun
makes it so people don't only go for greens
or save it until the final boss fight then instakill him
I would actually run field improv if it gave me free stimms periodically
To be fair all the stims are unilaterally good in havocs
Hell yeah I'll spend one skill point to have the emperor himself plant a red stim in my pocket
I would maybe exclude the yellow stim
oh yeah, stims are great
+150% ranged finesse
+40% rending
+100% toughness replenishment modifier
+20% reload soeed
insta-reload for ranged on ult use
1s immunity vs ranged atks on ranged weakspot hit
generated stims should look fucked up
but most people don't use them to make sure a fight goes smooth
I'd like yellow stimms on builds that aren't exe
Exe doesn't need it for obvious reasons
but yellow stimms are good
people usually pop stims when they're on the verge of dying
Which is ofc dumb
I use stimm to kill faster
I am not chancing that unbalanced shitshow of an enemy any more than I have to
Yeah it's bizarre
yeah but it's that hording mentality
you don't know when you'll get another stim and you don't wanna waste it
Throw all the grenades, shoot all the ammo, better hoard stimms and kits
ya I think it just need a little extra oomph to be competitive with the rest
the best kinds of support talents are those that are taken for selfish reasons but end up benefitting the team
yeah
I literally never take field improv as it is now
It's a nice novelty, but too situational
Only usable 4 times a mission with crates your team may not even find
(or remember to use lol)
Or they spawn at the absolute ass end of the mission
Could also be fun if you started the mission with a random type of crate
if field improv gave stimms I might take it on at least 50% of my builds
I would take it all the time
Getting a free blue/red stimm every once in a while
And I can just pawn the yellow stimms off to people with abilities that benefit from it
I think the other stuff I put in there are super competitive
Yeah but like me personally
I play exe vet for the boss chunking
Free red/blue stimms would help a lot with that
I think the stabby power sword is underrated for boss chunking
That said power sword is a frustrating weapon to use
Dagger is also good at boss chunking, although at that point a helbore is mandatory to do damage to force shields
All that matters to me is that I enjoy ilas
And then one big problem is you need to get a perfect block to preserve your charge vs a boss
Man I forgot how addicting combat blade is
Which one the horizontal slasher or the OG
I have no idea what
Oh uh
Which is which
The OG one has the stabby power attack
And the new one has the slashy one
Yeah that one’s the one I like
Thinking about doing the knife DB WS setup again, recollect it was pretty good
Well IMHO if you intend to go against bosses with force shields you'll need the helbore bayonet
Although ive seen people clear rooms by playing chicken, idk what they're doing but it involves running ahead and emptying their double barrel like 4 times
I just meant in like auric for fun
Auric isn't fun unless it's histg
There's not enough enemies so everything you try to shank gets executioner shotgun'd
And it's fustrating
4 times seems like a lot for what man stopper is capable of
What can be said, there was a lot of enemies I'm assuming
Real question is should one go super reload or just embrace the thrill of reloading in exchange for more damage
Mmmmmm I love manstopper
I guess trappers are immune then
What is better in life, sustainable veteran elephant hunter, or sneaky zealot Elmer fudd stealth cannon
Or the forbidden psyker fudd
5 more to go
The goat
trying exe stance, it's not that bad.
I mean sure I need a team to basically baby me but I kill specials at least?
krak grenade penance might be the most miserable thing ive ever had to do
im starting to depend on the laspistol build too much and idk what can be equal to it :(
I only died twice!
you can kill everything with exe sta
this laspistol ain't doing it tho
The real problem from exe stance is that your teammates need to actually know how to melee (unlikely)
Are you sure?
It's cuz mine is at 300 power haha
oh
it shreds everything outside of maulers and crushers
or any carapace
it's that this event is ALL carapace...
Exec Stance is "If I kill a lot my team will surely hold their own and not die"
VOC is "I will shout to save my team from their mistakes"
One thing happens more often than the other.
That's a weird flex
yeah I suck
There's no excuse for the helbore to have no optic
the event enemies have big DR vs ranged
dats why
this is a very melee-centric event
EXACTLY
it needs like
why would we need a sniper when we're constantly in tiny ass corridors and stuff?
at least the M41 equivelant to an ACOG
You say that, I'm more terrified by the constant stream of grenadiers
oh
the hellbore is already a sniper
the fuck do you mean?
I think I cooked with the block stance icon here
The Helbore is a high impact rifle
He means a scope optic
I'll give my zealot a bolt pistol
A sniper scope to make the enemies head a very big head that you click on
mes think
you don't see that it is straight up
if your only requisite to be a sniper is range then the Plasma is also a sniper 
a fucking DMR
It's true a plasma is a sniper except
They made it completely unable to one shot things
the thing has a godman bayonet
That it used to be able to one shot
We used the M16 as a sniper for a while
guess what goes on the end of that barrel?
Not a bayonet if you're sniping
also literally- every sniper from the first and second world wars did that too
no I want
Literally no designated marksman would ever fix a bayonet to snipe
Does this not count with exe stance? I swear I did it
a scoped weapon
a scope for what we barely get 20m hallways in this game
i would use weapon customization but it tanks my performance
wanna zoom in on plague ogryn to see its guts on 4k?
yes.
It's not the hallways that's the issue, any time an optic enhances your visibility of the desired target it is doing its job
I wanna see the specific pustules I am hitting
If the head becomes the big head, the optic is doing its job
plenty of huge open areas anyway
quick side tangent
i would probably just end up hipfiring it most of the time but its not like the game is 90% hallway
Well the issue is the best headshot guns in the game right now are hipfire guns
And then the bolter
at some point people thought bayonets made you hit more targets.
mostly russians and apparently mosin owners think this?
Everything else, the infantry auto gun is also better at headshotting rapidly from the hip
I think the Helbore is already the limit of how much you can safely stand around and aim without getting your shit destroyed. I can't imagine having a weapon that is even more tunnel vision.
so is there any other melee weapon that can work as well as the power sword or dueling sword
The iLas is ironically dog shit at precision
yes but funny
id take iLas sights for helbore though
Because massive recoil and a small projectile
I can’t find a good balance between crowd control and single target on my vet melee
I have the extremes
The Ilas is just dogshit at everything, someone in Fatshark really hates that gun with a passion
literally any mele and percision weapon
Oh wait all 3 marks suck bad at something lol
They're all shit in their own special way
Thanks fatshark
I mean on my melee weapon specifically
I need ideas for other trench raider loadouts
No shovel unfortunately
are you using mele for single targets or multiple then?
Power sword does hella crowd control, dueling sword does hella single target
Because shovel is like thunderhammer, where the fuck is the damage
I want both
Power sword does both
get both
the Power Sword does really good single target damage
One of the marks has a push stab
I have both
wth
idk I’ve been struggling with it lately and idk why
well probably because Vet ain't that good in melee to begin with
but the Power Sword is a pretty strong weapon
some days I feel like a god some days I can’t even deal with a single Crusher
Rashad axe
You have to go WS for Rashad I think
The slow attack speed is insufferable otherwise
I think desperado trench fighter is enough but yeah ws helps
mfw when I use 300 power weapons on Auric Malestrom
my two trench raider-esq loadouts are: hellbore and shovel or Vraks autogun and shovel
for now that is.
im done with vet
you
absolutely worthless class
don't shovel right then
?
jab them in the di- BONKED BY ZEALOT
Yeah okay go histg
I want to like the shovel, but you don't get TGH for staggering shit, which is what the shovel is damn good at
@calm shard would u prefer if blessings were sorted all together or if they were made into a separate section for each weapon family with details as to whether it's good
cuz ngl I'm preferring the latter but that'll be quite some work from current version
Weapon family
Knife is a better trench themed weapon
Just like gameslantern
ya dats wat I'm thinking
like
it'd be:
power sword mk3
power sword mk6
power sword blessings
At least thematic while being bearable
then a new weapon type below
I do so enjoy using taxe on vet
I might even scrap current blessings completely for publishing? then add them later on
Shovel good
I wish they had saved loadouts for classes
wait
I will not stand for shovel slander
They do
so it'd be easier to set up a particular loadout and playstyle
in rogue trader act 1 yea
also Vet's melee weapon selection is just a bit miserable. What I found out here is that you just have to go with whatever fits your playstyle and practice like crazy. Like how Papa Wily plays Chaxe, everyone else thinks its dogshit but he makes it work. Or that one guy that is really enthusiastic about Heavy Swords, also a Havoc 40 player
I have not found thy function
W-
Heavy sword is actually good
I normally make a shit loadout and make it work
YOU'RE A SHOVEL GREMLIN GO BACK TO BONKING HERETICS
Yeah bonking heretics while real classes get the kills
and somehow
YES THIS IS TRUE BUT CHAXE IS ALSO A PERFECTLY VIABLE WEAPON
Idk why they make it do so little damage
I still end up doing a shitload
What do you put on shovel
I must know.
I sharpen my shovel
uncanny + skullcrusher/decimator
I put on my bayonet and staplb shit in frustration
and it's still low dmg lol
Gottem
I like the Chaxe, at least the mark with the light shredder but I only began to level it recently
Bonk bonk bonk
Atleast shovel makes a nice sound
Chaxe is stressful, it's a shame it's on classes that don't get free benefits on staggered enemies
Is that heavy or light one
paul was
both still are
Buff shovel pls that shit fun
Tsk tsk
Bonk
Should be using Taxe
The bonk is satisfying, the damage is non-existent
I thought paul got buffed
Gale i literally main taxe on vet now
Barely
Stoopid
And I still pull my weight
yea and it's still a gaslighting tier weapon
just like shovel
Whatever you tell yourself bud
p sure I was using the heavy one in that screenshot
Hm maybe I’ll give the heavy one a go. Usually I go with the light one.
light one is mostly just better
Heavy one felt a bit too slow for my taste.
Shovel is havoc viable. :)
Let's put it this way I think of a minimal brain surface area weapon like that bully club ogryns use
Everything is havoc viable
The one that does 5 timesorendsmage than the entire team combined
Depends on your skill and tenacity
No push, no heavies, just lights
And then I see the shovel and I get upset when people say to fat shark "this is an acceptable weapon and it's in its current state perfect"
The one weapon I just can't justify using in Havoc
any melee wep is havoc viable trust
ok if i can utilize the knife to the fullest then this'll work, just gott get it mastered up to the mk3 to really try it
You flail it and it does severe emotional damage to you for bringing it
chainsword is basically shovel but with worse blessings lol
You get crushed.
i dunno ive been able to FUCK with it as arbites
Yeah at least chaxe gets a stagger on crushers
You can give the arbites a fucking paper ball and they'll do just fine
They're an arbites.
That's because arbites can do crazy damage just by lovetapping shit on the head
I think with arb's stagger stack it can reach dreg rager stagger but it's still just meh
it's more arb doing the heavy lifting, not chainsword being good
Arbites would literally be broken with a knife just because you bonk a head and suddenly an enemy is staggerdd
It doesn't say much when the overpowered class makes a weapon decent
Yes you did; like an actual overbuff~ We can all laugh & giggle
but in a serious tone; too much on soo many things and i haven't even read the whole thing yet

i tested chainsword with arby
a lot of it is warranted
and a lot of it is overshot
Curious, can bolt pistol work on vet?
Yes
bolt pistol is fantastic on vet
the bistol is legit
Bistol is great in general tbh
speed, one shot power, quick TTKs
I literally wrote this for chainsword in guide lol
if u see a melee weapon with / / / / in major stagger basically u can just give up
what talent tree works best for it? I assume anything but exe stance
oh yeah i need to make myself a grenade build one of these days
Pros: good at killing like a little dude
Cons: like everything else
and yes you can stagger ragers out of their combo with chainsword on arby; hell you can even stagger a crusher out of any animation on heavy attack rev to the head and with 1 stack of 'Forceful' keystone you can hit the body & stagger
the bistol is great with grenade build and WS
it one shots a lot of shit with the guaranteed crit
Well, if you’re trying to make a gun pop (pun intended), exe stance will almost always make said gun pop. That being said, it might make everything else more difficult.
Exe stance is the only ability vet has that isn’t a get out of jail free card
wait why is the bolt pistol good for grenade builds
Exe stance is only as good as its user
lethal prox buffs all explosion radius by 25%
Lethal proximity
Something something lethal prox something something
even the grenades?
Yes.
Yes
oh wow
ANY explosion
based
oh ok
like it buffs crusher for zealot/arby explosion radius even
the weapon
like it matters but still
jesus christ it makes enemy crushers explosions bigger?
I like infiltrate a lot
ofc but the explosion itself is so small the gain is small too... wait no 
but doing the volley fire penace rn
Another thing thats never really talked about but lethal prox also makes bistol really good at close range firing
wasnt the explosion bigger when the weapon was new
Since the arming distance doesn't exist with it.
like blam, knock everyone in the room down
well, if it was a sufficiently small room ofc
So if you see a trapper in the middle of a horde, quick draw, dome it, and anything around it also gets staggered.
is nice 
3 damn Havocs i na row where we wipe in the first section to hosts
Smelter?
i dont even know what the best weapon is anyrmore on vet for DH
Power Sword
tacax?
yeah thats if youre helping a teammate
i wouldnt try to powersword while being whaled on, and getting pushed back while trying to charge my sword and chase my teammate down is annoying
I've taken on a dh with power sword
all I wanna do is just complete this damn havoc penance
Shout helps give you time for really big burst damage.
and get to clearance 25
That push attack is no joke.
But then again I also use a bunch of nodes to give me extra damage on shout so actually, that's probably a case by case basis
Really, if you're talking like, a safe option, probably combat knife with lacerate?
Or dueling sword obviously
need help?
pub havoc is da way
no he needs to ||pay2win with arbites||
Stop the cap

its so much fun wdym
Pub havoc when you have the knife veteran who runs up ahead and triggers all the spawns
Can be but we all know the general outcome
sometimes arby, rarely ogryn, psyker... psyker never even gets ahead cause he would die

Yeah apparently
help 50 people with assignments
now the question is; are you too pissed to play now or you wanna go regardless?
Scrier's Gaze would like to have a word with you, kind sir.
u can cheese or do it the fun way
I can try. I swapped back to vet, was on my psyker
Nobody runs Scriers in Havoc
I do. :)
they should
would be better to carry 3 people than support 3 baddies because imagine that
then i would like to have you on the team... NAW 
a prolonged 40 minute boutof suffering
Don't get me wrong. You have to play your god damn balls off to do it but it's possible.
prolong suffering when u see BON
@hybrid plover @long dove https://discord.gg/yuVHuqcJ
its pick your poison at that point
I wish! I'm on break at work.
If you position right, a force greatsword on Gaze will tear a bonbon apart
The damage is absurd.
And it's not that hard because you have the length to take it on at least somewhat safely.
You take Gaze when you want to be a boss killer because it does the job well.
yes but that is if u can afford to focus on BON while keeping tabs on everything else
That's what I mean by playing your balls off.
It's not optimal to be fair because not many people can pull it off. But I've played it. I've seen it once.
You will 100% be topping the damage number.
See?
And that wasn't even with the sword.
A thrust on max damage with Scrier's can do like
Probably like a third of a bonbons health on a good day
Bosses are the least of my worry tbh in havoc
Supporting.....
Baddies? 😊
yeah and think about it
would you rather die fast
or support 3 subpar people and die slowly
if you had to choose between the two
its like a bandaid
excellent
Strong in the right hands yes
Gunker playstyle in havoc leaves no room for error tho
It's soooooo goddamn fun though
Enemy density is so high in havocs you can get back to back force greatsword waves
Just from the amount of poxers your initial swing kills
what blessings do u run on bfg
wrath+shred
Assail synergizes very well with FGS
2 swings then toss an assail and switch back gives you much better horde clear
and keeps Malefic Momentum stacked
how do i use knife cause this feels really awkward to play ngl
Which knife
If you’re using 3, use 6.
3 is weird like that.
mk3 yeah, was using it with db weapon specialist
what are the best combos for 6?
You ought to check the doc pinned in this channel. Then ctrl + f combat blade. It’ll list the combos, and BiS setup.
ty
Plus a lot more stuff I don’t understand.
No prob.
@steep flower you still up or nah
I’m trynna get that chaxe build and talent setup from you
Whenever u see this can you DM all it to me if u got it, curios and all. Preesh
Sorry. You’re weird. I don’t make the rules.
doesn't the 3 have that nice stab
yeah all I need from my knife is to turn faces of specials and bosses inside out
Push atk on 6 is stab
Not today; sleepy 
Honk shoo mimimi
Well guess I’ll follow a YouTube video and do things horribly wrong
tomorrow?
i added ya
For blessings:
- Always have uncanny strike
- If focusing solely on single-target, also flesh tearer
- If you want to have decent horde clear, also get precog or riposte (riposte preferred)
For perks: - If not running stam curio, +2 stam (preferred method so you can get more toughness)
- Unyielding for bosses/ogryns
- Flak/maniac (iirc) if you have a stam curio
Thanks g
Damn you were typing that for a while I thought you were writing a diss track
Is it weird of me to want a third knife mark?
Not at all
A big choppy machete version, like the "That's not a Knoife" movie
BY THE EMPEROR!!!
Rep = represent. (wait. realised you meant the name)
wait for who
realisation.
that steel legion set was from the release of the game and has never returned
there have been recolors of it tho
Male cutthroat in my opinion has some of the best voice acting and lines in the game to me.
No one in the game sounds so purely angry
i fucking hate this one
it requires you to play in such a horrible playstyle
not too awful to do if you just use your melee while at max stacks
or use the Mk XIV recon lasgun
since that one has cleave and damn near infinite ammo
bro every time i see someone complaining about this penance i want to become very violent
because it's a horrible fuckass penance?
literally one of the easiest
"one of the easiest"
god damn son what color was the stone that lobotomized you
this shit is annoying as fuck
you take autogun, and you shut your mouth and you fuck off to the high intensity missions
yeah it's "easy" but it is time consuming and requires you to mess your play style around
become a slothenly creature that crouches around everywhere
crouches?
and you shoot into every fuckass horde you see instead of conserving ammo
post how many hours you got rn
10 weeks straight worth of playing right there
1669 hours papa
you'd be able to have made some friends in 10 weeks
are you proud of me papa?
i pity your mother
just shooting into hordes works
why are there two cats fighting in vet chat
like I said earlier the Mk XIV Recon lasgun has cleave
get these animals back in their cages
good for horde clearing just aim at head level and hold LMB at everything
don't use autoguns
zero reason to if you want to crowd clear to get the penance done quickly
recon it is then
none of the autoguns are
did he say he was using a shotgun for that penance 
i dont remember having any troubles
Hey I mean, use the wide shot
Bunch of stacks right there
balls.
especially with the low uptime of exec stance without the extensions
papa take recon papa
What infantry lasgun y’all use
IIb
laspistol is an option
Yea I know I be using that too but my space cowboy has to have all the las weapons
hope you have the full auto mod if you're using the infantry las
I’m on Xbox. I’ll suffer, don’t you worry.
laspistol is only doing less damage than infantry lasgun on a non crit bodyshot
just use the smallest one and shoot fast
