braced is ok still

#

just niche

orchid hemlock
#

They suck in havoc but they actually have good cleave in regular game modes

calm shard
#

you know what ELSE has good cleave?

orchid hemlock
#

Ur mom? πŸ€”

calm shard
#

the Mk XIV recon lasgun

orchid hemlock
#

Gotwm

calm shard
#

the BAD ONE

orchid hemlock
#

Sure but braced has the insane suppression and CC

Meaning it is also useful of actually stopping gunners you cleave thru, or open Bullwalks

#

Alright, thanks guys!

also @orchid hemlock I finished all vet-accessible melee weapons last night

Wanting to play my main but Arbites got me like:

forest turret
#

Do you recommend changing the gray to the gold? It's better for statistics.

sonic kayak
#

That's a good split between both

forest turret
#

So I'm staying with the golden one?

#

Is stability important? Because I plan to level up the gray, but I don't know if stability is very important.

cinder summit
#

Any advice for Killshot Ready? At 1100/2500 right now

tame lodge
#

Which one is that again?

#

Kills under marksman focus?

#

Just crouch and melee/spam grenades

calm shard
#

or use the Mk XIV recon las since it has cleave

#

and can actually shoot through hordes

#

or do both of these things as the situation demands

faint beacon
#

Mobility is the dump on Vet

cobalt bear
#

does "make every shot count" count all pellets of a shotgun as well?

#

talking about the penance ^^

tame lodge
#

It doesn't count all of them

#

You just need to have one pellet hit the target

#

And yes
Double Barrel is a good pick for it

cobalt bear
#

perfect, so i just suck at aiming KEKW_ogryn

tame lodge
#

You can always pick ammo if needed

cinder summit
#

It works with melee? Alright, that makes it easier. It just takes forever I guess

tame lodge
#

Yeah it's any kills while having 10 or more MMF stacks

calm shard
#

On a good game I get like 5-600 in auric

#

But you can easily see a game where you only get half that if the AI director chills out

#

Or you just have that rare game where your teammates aren't eating the paint chips off the walls

steel veldt
#

Exe stance is so interesting

#

I hate it and don't hate it at the same time

calm shard
#

yeah it's a love hate relationship with that ability

#

on the one hand absurd damage and easy highlighting of every gunner/specialist for you to kill

#

on the other hand oh my god how does the game always have one singular poxwalker glued to my back

#

then again I am using a 350 power laspistol

I'll try it some more, I'll just spam it

I never looked

#

Felt like a big increase on the bolter

#

Which is just about the only thing I use it for lol

soft trellis
#

I haven't used it since we got the talent trees

normal bay
#

And the funny exe stance revolver build

#

The biggest iron

calm shard
soft trellis
#

I knew it was good, I just don't vibe very well with it

#

Even infiltrate looks more tempting after the shout

#

It's like oggy's gunlugger one, but, I don't have the safety of being an oggy

soft trellis
steel veldt
#

okay when there is a team protecting me

#

exe stance ain't so bad

cobalt bear
#

got it on first try with double barrel, thanks lad ^^

#

It doesn't feel too great when you don't have time and space to work

calm shard
soft trellis
steel veldt
#

you don't have an escape tho

#

like we just got swarmed I insta die because there's no VoC or Infiltrate to get out lol

#

becuase I am a Vet, my melee skills are not so good

#

one guy goes down with 5 maulers on him, what do I do?

#

I can't pop VoC or Infiltrate and get him up

sonic kayak
#

No no, they're good, just no speed if you're not using Trench Fighter

#

Bring It Down, Superiority Complex, that other 30% damage node, that effects everything, not only ranged

steel veldt
#

fair

sonic kayak
#

It's just Vet is deceptively squishy

#

I am not negating what you are saying

soft trellis
normal bay
#

Vet seems tougher than it is because of iron will

#

As soon as you lose that, it goes downhill fast

steel veldt
#

Exe stance experience

#

this might explain it

soft trellis

also infested lol

I am looking at this Laspistol...and i ask myself what is wrong with it.

It's the only thing that seems to keep vet from imploding in most fights

Veterans in Melee Combat? Iam sorry.. that is just heresy..

soft trellis
buoyant pewter
#

BUT still

#

Feels too squish if you get past that upper DR from IW

hollow ibex
signal garden
#

Well that's because TGH regeneration sucks

#

TGH generation not bad

#

But still not good

#

I imagine the real issue is vet relying on high TGH to be tanky

#

And you have havocs which discourage it

bleak oasis
#

Any practical difference running with a DS instead of a knife and vice-versa?

steel veldt
#

using laspistol without autofire mod is carpal tunnel simulator lol

tame lodge
bleak oasis
#

But both are relatively safe compared to other melee options vet has, ye?

tame lodge
#

Yes and no
They can't do hordes

buoyant pewter
#

Yeah, they can't go into hordes well at all

#

They're great for target picking and mobility

simple cobalt
#

Shock Maul mk3 + Plasma has been my jam for a while now as a Weapons Specialist, and I dump ammo on plasma (difference is 10 uncharged shots). Honestly recommend a lot. The shocker attack is so satisfying, especially versus bulwarks and lieutenants.

cyan verge
#

where's path

#

who knows about autoguns

#

I am considering playing with the agri IAG but I have a feeling there'll be no real reason to use it over the vraks

simple cobalt
#

Yes?

#

Yes.

steel veldt
#

I shoved a burster into the wall, dodged back, got one shot, okay lol

faint beacon
#

There is no reason

#

Cause the Vraks outdoes it in every way

cyan verge
#

understood

#

get well soon agripinaa iag

tame lodge
#

Hey

#

Agri ain't so bad

#

It's not Columnus

#

πŸ’€

cyan verge
#

get well soon columnus iag

#

I actually used that one a lot while levelling vet, in like malice/heresy, it was fine

#

just did not know any better

orchid hemlock
#

U like Agripina IAG

I like Agripina Combat Shotgun

We are not the same chadgryn

I like how I run infiltrate on Vet then die because I am too scared to pop it

poxburster went on me while I was in stealth and killed me what lmao

hybrid plover
#

But honestly knife is not a bad horde clear weapon.

steel veldt
#

do poxburster have the 6th sense?

hybrid plover
steel veldt
#

I'll say that means they have the 6th sense

hybrid plover
#

Essentially. Also it is not a good idea at all to do that to begin with.

#

You will get your teammates killed that way.

steel veldt
#

Oh no I didn't even see the poxburster

#

it was behind me while we were fighting a Nurgle beast

#

I was retreating to shoot it

hybrid plover
jovial wagon
#

I think the oly weapon I've used that's bad at horde clear gotta be the DS

#

when I use DS I bring a gun with good suppression to deal with hordes

#

like the bag or iag

#

or the boltgun

umbral scaffold
hollow ibex
#

It’s because he sucks at knife

hybrid plover
#

Yeah. Lacerate is good general blessing for horde clear. If you wanna be fancy, executor with heavy block cancel is also great.

#

But you wanna be tall to really maximize executor

umbral scaffold
#

I look away and someone mentions the L-word

#

Cursed chat

cyan verge
#

what L word

#

Longitude?

hybrid plover
#

Lacerate is good, believe it or not.

umbral scaffold
#

L*cerate

cyan verge
#

Longlas?

#

Library???

hybrid plover
#

Flesh Tearer doesn't have as much uptime on Vet in practice.

#

Unless you're perpetually at max crit from dodging.

#

Which, doesn't always happen.

#

And it's really, really easy to keep uncanny up.

#

On Fury zealot, flesh Tearer is 100% the better choice because you have way more uptime on crit chance.

#

Plus, vet has so much innate weakspot damage that in a lot of cases, you don't need bleed to proc on a weakspot hit.

tropic notch
#

I hope they buff his crit chance

hybrid plover
#

His potential crit chance is fine. Thing is youre not always going to be reaching that potential. And that's why flesh Tearer can fall flat sometimes.

umbral scaffold
#

I just use uhhh serrated blade

#

I am the Emperor's rightiest guardsman

tropic notch
hybrid plover
#

Sometimes, that just isn't going to happen consistently.

#

While Lacerate, sometimes you might whiff weakspots anyway so it's a lot more forgiving too.

steel veldt
#

(until death + holy revenant)

umbral scaffold
#

The thing with lacerate is that its effectiveness is tied to how bad the player is at clicking heads with a weapon made for that

steel veldt
#

Also holy shit shock trooper is op

#

at least with laspistol

#

I wonder if laspistol is even viable to take on Zealot just because of shock trooper being Vet only

umbral scaffold
#

It's goated with the slow helbore too

tame lodge
#

Lacerate propaganda

umbral scaffold
#

Oh, quite

tame lodge
#

πŸ’€

umbral scaffold
#

Laspistol is one of those funny finesse weapons, and zealot can get crit by the bulk

#

It still encourages headshots, but you get some good mileage from the crits alone

tame lodge
umbral scaffold
steel veldt
#

I'd like the laspistol to clear gunners and shooters

#

for Zealot

tame lodge
steel veldt
#

so will take

#

when not feeling bpistol

hybrid plover
#

For one. Have you ever tried consistently hitting a weak spot on a chaos spawn pummeling you???

#

It doesn't really work out a lot of the time.

umbral scaffold
#

That's where riposte comes in

hybrid plover
#

Why would you use riposte

umbral scaffold
#

Because it's a finesse weapon

hybrid plover
#

But then you lose out on uncanny. The primary thing that makes bleed actually good for multiple purposes.

umbral scaffold
#

No I don't, I use uncanny and riposte

#

I don't touch lacerate even if people pay me

hybrid plover
#

Then this don't pertain to you then 😑

#

Look, what I'm getting at, is that lacerate in practice, honestly is a pretty good choice if youre looking for consistent horde clear.

hybrid plover
#

It's one of those, "it doesn't sound like it should work but it does" sort of deals.

steel veldt
#

how is Devil's Claw tho

hybrid plover
#

Because even in horde clear, not everything you cleave will get hit in the head, and that also procs lacerate.

#

Riposte feels more single targety to me in the time I've used it.

hybrid plover
steel veldt
#

aw

hybrid plover
#

It works but it leaves a lot to be desired with armor.

umbral scaffold
#

I stopped using shred on dueling sword after people nagged at me to use riposte

#

Now it's pretty much a fixed pick on weapons that have it

#

Granted it's also a case of "if you're too good at pushing poxwalkers, it doesn't trigger"

covert fable
#

would mobility be the dumpstat for combat blade?

#

or dmg?

umbral scaffold
#

Mobility

#

Dumping damage is for the silliest of folk

covert fable
#

i see

#

ty

#

oh my god i just realized LOADOUTS are a THING

tame lodge
#

There's only one weapon in the game that dumps damage

#

That being Flamer

cyan verge
#

loadouts are cool but they're also annoying sometimes

pallid jetty
#

Why flamer

#

Why damage

umbral scaffold
narrow frost
#

Not anymore

umbral scaffold
#

Because uh the damage from the damage stat actually relates to the direct hit or something of the sort

#

REAL

covert fable
#

wow uncanny strike is insane

narrow frost
#

Damage only affects fire impact damage

umbral scaffold
#

That's what I said, I think loregryn

covert fable
#

flesh tearer + uncanny strike for combat blade good?

tame lodge
narrow frost
#

And the damage comes from the burn dot

tame lodge
hybrid plover
tame lodge
hybrid plover
#

Again, depends on how high you keep your crit chance.

covert fable
#

it would work so well with uncanny

tame lodge
#

But there are still better

hybrid plover
# tame lodge

You're the one that said knives aren't good for horde clear tbf

covert fable
#

what would you pair with uncanny strike?

tame lodge
#

Riposte or Precognition

covert fable
#

ooh

#

theres that skill that would give crit chance for dodge too

tame lodge
#

Reciprocity

#

Yeah

covert fable
#

yup

umbral scaffold
#

Duelist at home

narrow frost

Reci is Blazing piety

But 1 talent

Desperado is just always active dueslist on a smaller scale

umbral scaffold
#

Blazing piety but I have to actually play the game

tame lodge
#

Not beating the "every class is just a flavor of zealot" allegations

cyan verge
#

psyker is pretty different

umbral scaffold
#

Every class is just The Build in a different way

#

You cannot escape The Build

cyan verge
#

also imo every class is a flavor of veteran

cyan verge
#

zealot is melee veteran

#

psyker is psyker veteran

#

arbitrator is tank veteran

#

ogryn is large veteran

umbral scaffold
#

Anyway, check this dumb fucking shit out

cyan verge
#

yay the veteran tree

umbral scaffold
#

I am the smoke king and none shall see

cyan verge
#

you probably need to take grenade mod talent

#

so you get 30s smokes instead of 15s

umbral scaffold
#

Alas, I cannot Sitgryn

cyan verge
#

veteran tree moment

umbral scaffold
#

I mean, I could if I dumped the two at the top middle

#

But they gucci

cyan verge
#

I really hope they rework vet tree

umbral scaffold
#

I could do it for the memes, but I get the feeling that my survivability really depends on them loregryn

cyan verge
#

after seeing arbitrator tree it's like oh well you know how to design a good tree apparently

umbral scaffold
#

Fine.

#

I will do the funny.

#

Agile taxe and helbore 3 (currently 4, for some reason)

magic basalt
#

w

umbral scaffold
#

Helbore 4 went to the vigilant school of naming conventions

#

Where they just swapped random shit for no fucking reason

#

Peak sigma behaviour chadgryn

covert fable
#

wow double barrel and combat knife is so nice

#

with kraks

#

gambling for kraks payed off

#

gambling for kraks?

umbral scaffold
#

gamba 🦨

umbral scaffold
covert fable
#

5% chance for one when elite kill

umbral scaffold
#

I should change my taxe for a DC

#

I need this to be shittier

little path
#

that ain't a gamble

#

the 5% for a nade on kill is one of vet's strongest talents

slim scroll
#

Hey folks, new to the game and community, been trying my hand at completing penances, but have been stuck on On Overwatch for quite some time now, any tips to completing it?

little path
#

which one is that again?

#

the no health damage, only gun one?

slim scroll
#

No health damage, been a real pain

cyan verge
#

oh

little path
#

oh it's just health damage

#

dang, guess they made it easier

cyan verge
#

I did it on malice with bots on consignment yard and there are definitely easier ways to do it like archivum sycorax probably

#

no it was always just health damage

little path
#

just run the standard shout vet build and uuuh

#

I dunno use a super safe melee weapon

slim scroll
#

No health damage from melee hits, been trying the stealth build but it ain’t been working out well

cyan verge
#

yeah melee weapons to not use: chainaxe

little path
#

gimme a sec

cyan verge
#

yeah if you use the stealth build you are gonna have trouble in the downtime between abilities whereas voice is almost always up and actively protects you from harm

slim scroll
#

Chainaxe good for CC I take it?

cyan verge
#

no no DON'T use chainaxe

#

because it is slow and unsafe

slim scroll
#

My b can’t read lol

little path
#

There you go

#

that is the quintesential "Hyper meta" veteran build

cyan verge
#

yeah that is a perfectly fine build

little path
#

the Voice of Command ability lets you get gold toughness

#

meaning you basically have even more shields in melee

#

and you can spam it off cooldown

covert fable
slim scroll
#

Saving that build, Ty. Weapon recommendations?

little path
#

Just run dueling sword

#

very strong and very safe

cyan verge
#

duelling sword with, something reliable that can get every enemy off you

slim scroll
#

Ah the ol reliable I see

little path
#

lacks horde clear but you can nonstop dodge and has great elite killing

cyan verge
#

oh the only thing about the above build is

#

maybe go middle for kraks + fire team instead

#

just in case you get a boss

little path
#

do not do that

cyan verge
#

because you REALLY don't want to engage with bosses

little path
#

shredders are the strongest grenade by far

cyan verge
#

they are

#

true

little path
#

kraks are great early on but fall off later when you get good guns

cyan verge
#

yes but this is on malice

#

and 2 kraks kills a chaos spawn on malice

little path
#

wait really?

#

wtf

cyan verge
#

yeah they annihilate bosses

little path
#

didn't know bosses had so little health on malice

cyan verge
#

otherwise yes

#

shredders are the god

#

and shredders could save you elsewhere too

#

if horde builds up or is trouble or too many elites etc

slim scroll
#

Yea just been running malice to complete this, I’ll try the krak way for this penance

cyan verge
#

but for me personally I ended up doing consignment yard, was very chill

#

only needed kraks to deal with guaranteed end of run boss

#

I did consignment yard cuz you can just position yourself out of melee completely a lot of the time

#

by like

little path
cyan verge
#

chilling on crates and in wide open areas

shut roost
#

I really like the recon lasgun, any tips for building it?

little path
#

This is the safest dueling sword build

cyan verge
umbral scaffold
little path
#

agile and precog just lets you infinitely dodge

umbral scaffold
#

DC pretty dope when I can just ignore it entirely for carapace

little path
#

but typically you would want uncanny strike instead of agile

umbral scaffold
#

Canny strike: enemies have more rending against you per weak point hit

shut roost
cyan verge
#

oh

#

yes it is a talent sorry

umbral scaffold
#

big funny

shut roost
#

currently have the dumdum and infernus blessings on my mk VIc

cyan verge
#

that sounds correct

little path
#

that's good

cyan verge
#

I have this

little path
#

I would say deathspitter is better but like

#

eh

#

it really does not matter since anything the recon can damage will just die either way

shut roost
#

this is what I have currently

covert fable
#

you guys dont run headhunter on the recon lasgun?

little path
#

infernus is fun because you can stack a shit load of burn on crushers

#

which one was headhunter?

#

100% crit headshot damage?

narrow frost
#

DoTs barely do any damage to carapace

shut roost
covert fable
cyan verge
hybrid plover
cyan verge
#

eh

covert fable
#

its kinda nuts

little path
cyan verge
#

you do NOT need onslaught

hybrid plover
#

DoTs are horrible against carapace without some form of rending.

little path
#

if you're running a recon lasgun you're gonna crit like crazy either way

covert fable
shut roost
#

damage to flak armored enemies or carapace?

hybrid plover
#

Honestly, recon Las in general is just not good against crushers unless you have onslaught tbh

little path
#

recon is flak maniac

#

or flak crit

#

onslaught is a meme talent

#

but it's again, just fun if you wanna lean fully into endless LMG recon gunning

cyan verge
#

it doesn't matter either way

#

just stab crusher in face

#

with your sword

#

and then he die

little path
#

si

little path
#

using the talent slot to give more crits is typically less ideal

cyan verge
#

oh my build had deadshot but I dropped it cuz it annoyed me

covert fable
little path
#

it's fine to use

covert fable
#

cause more crits

cyan verge
#

yeah so the recon with shock trooper alone is enough ammo conservation on its own you basically have infinite ammo

little path
#

if you're not running deadshot on the talent tree then yeah, sure go for it

#

gives you that extra crit

covert fable
#

i might get a recon lasgun with 60% on ammo lol

little path
#

but even without that blessing the recon still crits a lot

little path
#

nah, leave it at 60 collateral

#

collateral is pretty much doing nothing

#

on the super off chance you're nonstop shooting for 13 minutes straight then ammo comes into play

#

but collateral wouldn't come into play no matter what you did

cyan verge
#

yeah don't dump ammo

covert fable
#

alr

little path
#

the chances you'll stagger even a poxwalker is basically nonexistant

covert fable
#

i will stick to my current one

little path
#

because it will be dead

cyan verge
#

you'll lose like, what, recon with only 40% ammo, has only 460 rounds soooo 60% is probably like 500-ish, so you'd lose over 100 ammo from dumping ammo

#

you probably don't want to dump ammo

#

if you look at what collateral does too it's like uhhh

#

oh wow, missing out on... 1.65 stagger instead of 1.55, or something. oh no!!!!!!!!!!

#

it barely changes anything

covert fable
#

thats so little

hybrid plover
#

Also staggering is kind of an anti synergy with recon

#

Since it throws off your shot at the little times it actually does cause any stagger so it's not as easy to hit heads

slim scroll
#

Thanks for all the advice guys, really appreciate

#

Gonna keep throwing myself at the grinder for this challenge, hope I can complete it soon

cyan verge
#

yeah just remember some maps are gonna be easier and some harder

#

also I did it with bots, you may have better results with people but you may have worse results because bots rubber band to you constantly and can completely take care of hordes for you

#

whereas other players, uhhh, they are random and they won't lift a finger to help you complete some weird penance

slim scroll
#

How can I play with bots only?

covert fable
#

Put the lobby on private

When you go on the mission terminal press E I believe

#

They wanted to play with bots

covert fable
unreal nova
#

Africa is basically dead.

#

APAC is ded when I'm playing since I hilariously run on EU timezone even from APAC.

cyan verge
#

uh yeah I dunno how active your timezone is but for me I can basically queue any random malice mission and I get a solo lobby lol

As said, ded servers would work.

Either pure ranged or melee

umbral scaffold
#

Also

#

Didn't the power sword use to have 2 swings without power cycler?

#

I vividly recall using a mk6 with BM and slaughterer

pallid jetty
#

power sword used to have having like 6 or 8 swings

#

i dont actually remember how it worked

#

nm Sitgryn

umbral scaffold
#

I remember power cycler used to give it a ridiculous amount of swings, or maybe it already had a huge base and people just put PC for even more

#

But I also remember that after the power cycler nerf, I would still be able to do 2 swings for the push attack combo on crushers

cyan verge
#

it honestly just feels strange now

#

it's like you get one swing without power cycler

#

it's like uh okay why

cyan verge
#

does my guy really have to like hold the sword up and go BZOOO every time I want to use the power part of it

calm shard
#

p sure you've always had only the one base swing

cyan verge
#

are space marines always doing that or do they just swing at shit and it dies

#

it seems dumb to me

#

and you only get 3 swings with power cycler? like wow god damn way to just eat an entire blessing mandatory blessing for no good reason

umbral scaffold
#

I feel like I want to be silly enough to look up the patch notes for a change to the base swings

#

I couldn't possibly have imagined that because I don't imagine good things

calm shard
#

also people have complained about every single nerf the PS has received

#

and it's still vet's best melee by miles

umbral scaffold

Now I need to use the dumb blessing for the crusher double-tap

Good DB perks and blessings, talk to me.

#

Using Deadshot and weapons specialist for what is basically guaranteed crits.

austere mica
#

Weapon spec is far more than enough

#

Blessings is Manstopper and either Flechette or scattershot

#

Perks is flakiac

dense belfry
austere mica
#

Shush

dense belfry
austere mica
#

Manstopper shouldn’t need explaining

#

It’s infinite cleave

#

Breaking game mechanics is strong

steep flower
austere mica
#

Flechette improves consistency against hordes and stuff you tag with part of the shot, Manstopper lets you shoot with 1 stack or fire twice while still getting a crit

Nice!

hybrid plover
#

Also, if you really wanna see funny damage.

#

Run that with a weapon that has uncanny.

dense belfry
#

I had no idea how dogshit shovels were until recently.

austere mica
#

Shovel is ok

#

It’s got skullcrusher

#

And uncanny

#

That’s what matters

dense belfry
#

Heresy...

austere mica
#

Perhaps because yours isn’t in any usable condition

dense belfry
#

The shotgun took me ages to get a good roll. Broke my bank.

#

Anyways.

#

I'm thinking of adding damage to pox walkers to my shovel.

austere mica
#

Don’t

#

Never worth it

sudden cedar
#

It is not worth it.

austere mica
#

There is no weapon that justifies Infested besides like

#

Power maul

#

Or something

dense belfry
#

My chainsword performs better than the damn thing tho.

#

It's why I used it for so long.

sudden cedar
#

There are better weapon perks for the Power Maul too

austere mica
#

Because chainsword has really good clear

sudden cedar
#

No need for infested

austere mica
#

Doesn’t do anything else though

dense belfry
#

If you need to...

austere mica
#

Don’t run Bloodletter

#

Chainsword is rampage and wrath/shred I think

#

Path might’ve found something better

dense belfry
#

Ah.

austere mica
#

Wrath and shred

#

I was mostly right

dense belfry
#

Was about to say.

#

Rampage sounds like it's not good at combing

austere mica
#

It’s fine at it, but chainsword kinda sucks and to play it’s only role it needs cleave and crits

dense belfry
#

Would it be wise to choose PS for my shotgun build?

austere mica
#

Anything with good singletarget

dense belfry
#

So, yeah.

What Braced autogun is good for vet?

steep flower

austere mica
#

The only thing you’re rev’ing besides a crusher/mauler is a bulwark

#

And rev’ing is still a risky proposition always

steep flower
# dense belfry Good for applying bleed to heavies.

i personally don't run shred on chainsword despite finesse modifier; of all things; Shock maul has better weakspot & crit multi than chainsword; chain has 1.1x and no extra crit chance to boot; wrath is like mandatory cause cleave & bloodletter gives you alot fo dmg vs single targets

steep flower
austere mica
#

Don’t you oneshot mutants outside of havoc anyway

steep flower
austere mica
#

Thought you did

#

Whatever

steep flower
#

on heavy rev you do on auric

austere mica
#

Wait what that’s exactly what I said

steep flower
#

in havoc you dont ever; bloodletter allows you to 1 shot a mutant on auric on light att rev for sure

#

in havoc (counting other buffs from talent tree ofc) i believe you can 1 shot a mutant due to bloodletter

#

not to mention if you cannot finish revving the 14 bleed stacks will still be applied & generate dmg vs a pack of any elites for example

#

same for boss if you get pressured

#

and are unable to attack

#

the only chain weapon that really does not use bloodletter is evicerator

#

other than that; chainaxe & chainsword should always have it imo

austere mica
#

Chaxe has slaught headtaker though

#

Hard to beat braindead easy damage/power

steep flower
steep flower
# austere mica Hard to beat braindead easy damage/power

Bloodletter & Thunderous allows you to amplify the strengths of the chainaxe to allow it to chew through single targets & the moveset on Mk IV allows you to CC the horde; chaf clearing does not matter much when you can CC it with ease

#

maybe thats why rampage is not used on chainsword but wrath as an example

light snow
#

Do you get anything for killing stuff in game?

Like... if you see the green ghost boss and can walk around it... should you? there's no benefit to killingg it is there?

strong fox
#

Hello guys I just started playing and was trying out veteran, are there any weapons good for horde clearing aside from power sword where u actually have to use the special ability?

dense belfry
#

What Braced autogun is good on vet?

light snow
strong fox
#

O have tried it as well the rashad, ove noticed tac axe is good bec it one shots 1 mob but the cleave isnt really that good

steep flower

Except like

Heavy sword 7

Then combat axe

Innate crit means shred isn’t needed

austere mica
austere mica
#

Headtaker is usually needed for bruiser breakpoints anyway, so you need to both

austere mica
steep flower
# austere mica Gross

i like the infinite survival aspect of it; until they nerf it (they should) i will advocate for using it; so which one; brutal or headtaker?

austere mica
#

You need both unless you can hit your bruiser breakpoint without headtaker

#

Brutal momentum obviously wins but the weapon’ll suffer without headtaker

steep flower
#

so if we dont consider breakpoints brutal; if we do; headtaker got it

austere mica
#

It’s brutal momentum both ways

#

You are just less effective if you can’t hit the scab bruiser 1 tap

steep flower
austere mica
#

It’ll slow you down

#

And get you bound up on stuff in ways you otherwise wouldn’t

#

Killing 4 targets a swing always versus getting stuck on a common trash target

#

You’ll get around it with crits but consistency is always preferred

Nobody’s bothered to do the math

calm shard

you either get it or you don't

dense belfry
#

Why doesn't the combat axe have cleave?

steep flower
steep flower
#

i remember those days

austere mica
#

A missed breakpoint is a swing that stops

dense belfry
#

The Caxe should at least have a fast swing speed.

austere mica
#

That’s what tac axe is

#

It’s the fast axe

#

Combat axe is the slow axe

dense belfry
#

Damn it.

#

Does Mortis trials grant money?

steep flower
# austere mica Breakpoints enable your cleave in this case

very true in general but considering taxe moveset; the push att gives you good CC so the argument is not that strong for that weapon imo; for other weapons like lets say chainsword it is or heavy sword/devil claws cause their push atts are oof

#

exept Chainsword Mk XIIIg but thats an oof weapon

calm shard
#

It has good CC but it ain't really gonna stagger things if it doesn't hit them

#

And taxe cleave is low so it ain't hitting much

steep flower
#

thats where CC comes from; not the swing

calm shard
#

pushing is a circle actually

austere mica
#

Yeah the weapon is safe but it already takes it’s time against carapace, I’d rather play to its strength of an incredible clear speed as opposed to running a blessing who’s effect can be circumvented with dodge control

steep flower
#

thats why before taxe buffs Mk VII was the taxe to use cause push att - heavy - repeat was (and still is) very good

austere mica
#

Mk2 worked just as well

#

The only difference is the combo you use when out of stamina

steep flower
#

preference thumbsup_ogryn

calm shard
#

I use Mk IV because it's got personality

#

And also I use it for exe vet I ain't getting brutal momentum breakpoints whether I like it or not

steep flower
austere mica
#

Mk4 only really works with martyrdom I think

steep flower
#

that changed after the buffs tho

austere mica
#

I’d have to ask ainz

austere mica
#

They play almost entirely the same

#

7 does look better though

# calm shard the machine spirit

is a weapon such as taxe be considered a machine? it does not have wires nor it has any circuits or mechanism; has no digital presence either; so i think not

#

if it would be a shovel (the flip one) it would be cause it has a mechanism but taxe? nah

austere mica
dense belfry

dense belfry

It could have some meat helping it cut better or some shit...

I think tac axe is based off a power axe model

#

Combat axe is

dense belfry

You don't know!

crimson pebble

guns can also have machine spirits

austere mica

The Rashad specifically is wielded by the GSC biker unit and labeled on the back of the box as a power axe

dense belfry

#

And?

austere mica
#

It’s weird that you groan about the primary focus of the universe the game is set in

dense belfry
steep flower
#

power sword, shock mauls, chain weapons, flip shovels, relic blades, force swords & greatswords, maul & shields, crusher, thunderhammers - all those weapons have some form of mechanism to them so they could be considered having a spirit; just like all range weapons
but taxes, caxes, hswords, dclaws, knifes, dueling swords, standard shovel, all ogryn melee weapons exept power maul - they are just a piece of metal/wood; completelly dead

Anyways.

#

Back to veteran stuff.

#

You lot ever think about the difference between the MK6 and Mk3 PS?

austere mica
#

Not really

#

One uses sunder better

#

One has better combos

dense belfry
late jungle
#

never rlly cared cus ps is kinda cracked out regardless ashamed

austere mica
#

Heavy attacks have like 4x cleave and Cara armor slide

dense belfry
#

Ah, blessing

austere mica
#

It’s a bromentum sidegrade

late jungle
#

heavies on ps ..

dense belfry
#

Especially heavies.

austere mica
#

Not better than the mk6 crusher 2 tap

dense belfry
austere mica
#

Special -> PA -> Light

#

You need a bit of damage for it so it isn’t out of box but if you miss it an extra light does it

late jungle
#

i do love the poke pa

dense belfry
#

I don't have one at the moment.

austere mica
#

Yeah

dense belfry
#

58%damage.

austere mica
#

All combos are built around max statted weapons

dense belfry
#

all of them are useless to me, then.

#

No point in me knowing them now.

austere mica
#

I mean

#

There is

#

They’re still the best way to deal damage a certain way

#

You’ll just miss some breakpoints

#

PA -> Light is still the best method of single target damage on mk6

late jungle
austere mica
#

You just won’t 2 tap

late jungle
#

you'll still be 3 tapping

#

probably .

dense belfry
late jungle
#

you hitting the head ?

dense belfry
austere mica
#

Heavies deal less damage than the PA and light 4 to carapace

dense belfry
dense belfry
austere mica
#

Yeah

#

My statement stands

dense belfry
austere mica
#

What

#

PA means push attack

dense belfry
#

Ooooh

austere mica
#

How would you 2 tap with 1 attack

dense belfry
#

It's like the BFGS, then?

austere mica
#

In what way

dense belfry
#

Op as fuck PA

#

But I can't seem to do it.

austere mica
#

It’s push is a stagger button

#

It deals 1 point of damage

#

But it will open bulwarks and stun most enemies

dense belfry
#

Is that why it uses up 1 charge of cycler?

austere mica
#

It’s either 3:30 am or you just aren’t making sense

late jungle
austere mica
#

12 m or smth stupid like that

#

I forget

dense belfry
austere mica
#

Yes

dense belfry
#

At least it's meta.

austere mica
#

Special -> push attack -> light will kill a crusher with a few damage boosts

dense belfry
#

Is it worth using the second heavy, ever?

late jungle
#

i personally dont really touch heavy all that often on ps..

austere mica
#

On mk6?

dense belfry
#

Ye

austere mica
#

You don’t use heavies on mk6

#

Unless you’re running sunder

#

Which is better run on mk3

dense belfry
austere mica
#

It’s an incredibly braindead weapon

#

Block-> Special -> Light -> Light -> light

#

And Special -> PA -> light

#

Are it’s only combos

late jungle
#

the fact that u can pretty much just hold block while charging it

#

x_x

#

free ass weapon but im not gonna complain

austere mica
#

I don’t like using it

late jungle
#

it doesnt feel as "scummy" as ds to me

#

maybe thats just cus its on vet .

austere mica
#

Weapons that are just spam of either light or heavy just aren’t very fun for me

dense belfry
#

I feel like the mk 6 has shitty hit detection.

late jungle
#

ive never had any hitreg problems with it

austere mica
#

It has the same hit detection everything else does

dense belfry
#

Strange.

#

I keep on bodyshotting mauler with the PA.

austere mica
#

Aim higher

#

Some weapons have different head/body priority

dense belfry
#

The crosshatch is over their head

austere mica
#

If it doesn’t register a headshot aim higher

#

All I can say

late jungle
#

are u not hitting his shoulder there

dense belfry
#

Shouldn't be, right?

late jungle
#

mm i dunno

#

itd be a headshot if you aimed a little to the left

dense belfry
#

I think the mauler just has hitbox bank.

#

*jank

#

I'll practice it.

simple cobalt
#

Well it says Flak and Mauler head is Carapace iirc

#

Also can anybody tell me what are the correct combos to use on MK3 Shock Maul?

#

or the other one, I just like the lights more on MK3

#

I just do a Special > Heavy > Heavy on stuff like Bulwarks and Crushers, and Light with an occasional Special (mostly ragers) on everything else

Talk me out of why ranged weakspot damage is so bad on hellbore

is the 10% vs 25% against armour type really just a no brainer

weakspot damage only affects the damage added by the weakspot hit

not the overall damage of the hit
