And still get 10% attack speed
I don't even know if i should move things around to get an ourplestone
but like
im running plasma-explode-your-shit build
so like
do I need to tag enemies, or
You'll be fine
Vet can go keystoneless
And yes you should be tagging enemies, generally speaking
Sorry,
tagging with buffs
or marksman's focus/ etc
Thoughts?
No ourple, but
If you're taking krak
kraks are spending a talent to remove your blitz but otherwise probably fine?
U need the grenade regen 😭
oh shit i forgot demo team and regen
serrated is weird if you aren't using mercy killer knife, most people head over there for agile
yeah checks out
uncanny strike is necessary to make knife function in its role tho
also makes the bleed do more damage\
Try out uncanny instead of flesh tearer
double also do you know how critical hit damage is calculated
It's not 10% extra damage to the critical hit overall it is 10% extra damage to the difference between a crit and a normal hit
For example if you hit for 100 normally, and 200 on a crit
You are getting 210 damage not 220
oh wow, thats a big difference (referring to how crits work)
i appreciate the explanation
Try out +2 stamina on the knife
applies to talents too but they're usually big enough values to be good investments anyways
Should I replace crit chance or dmg
I run my knife with +stam/carapace
I can see crit chance being alright since knife has super high finesse
Yeah
But that dodge perk keeps ur crit high
Good start
Idk
That's a good amount
Desperado gives 10% crit chance right
oki
dokey
FUCK
grumble
grumble
alright
here's everything
Thoughts?
I run damnation
You want me thoughts? 🤔
MK not worth on vet knife
Yes. That's why I asked
VT2?
does this still mean anything if you're always going for headshots anyway?
does it become a crit crit?
Yes
Crit damage is probably the most useless stat in the entire game please never take it
I also wouldn't put crit chance on either of the weapons
Stamina on the weapon is also bad
Kinda
crit != headshot
im not a math nerd what is !=
Crit gives a damage boost and headshot gives a damage boost
"is not"
ah right
there are crit headshots
Yeah
Thanks for the info 🙂
Try get a +2 or +3 stam curio
Alright, thanks
-# finally someone giving actual criticism
4% combat ability regen should be on all curious
Brother 💀
Nah. Ordo dockets. 
There was an entire convo about how crit was great for my build like two minutes ago
I literally just got here, but I don't think there is any scenario where crit damage is good on the perks
Crit chance is ok on knife, but on plasma I don't see the reason if you already have gets hot
Having the extra raw damage helps with breakpoints
Get rid of the skill that gives nades from the ammo things
And bring the
20% dmg against monstrosities
Actually if u play damnation idk how easy it is to regen grenades from elites
Stamina on the weapon is also pretty strange because it provides nothing to the weapon itself
And it is only applied when you have the weapon on hand
If you switch to another weapon or grenades it doesn't apply anymore
I'm not going to lie, stamina is better than WSD 😞
Stamina curios are completely optional
Weak spot damage is almost as bad as crit damage
god fucking damnit
I don’t run them
thanks
alright
im just going to stop asking for build advice here because no matter what i choose it's wrong
I forgot what I have on my knife
For knife I usually got maniac/carapace
I don't use plasma but I assume it's something like flak and elites
You could of just asked: "what are the best perks for knife"
Instead of doing trial and error
yeah this is how it is for weapons in particular
weapons kind of need their optimal setups to do their jobs
a suboptimal weapon is going to miss important breakpoints and functionality that enables it to actually do well at what it's good at
a heavy sword without brutal momentum won't have good horde clear which it is known for
ditto for the combat axe and tactical axe
uuuh
i might swap out cara for elites
I think right click can one shot crushers with exe?
but then at that point the helbore can too
so
Wtf what
Helbore can one-shot crushers? That's all I needed to hear
vet knife push attack is too good
is this alright
I never used plasma gun
yeah
Stamina isn't the problem of vet, it's stamina Regen delay
It's the reason why Vet has Asthma 😞
You will need serrated blade if you plan to use mercy killer on the knife
Mercy is useless on knife if it has no bleed
Yeds
Also reciprocity is extremely good on knife
Probably one of the best talents in the entire tree, so I would recommend taking it
What
All vets in darktide canonically suffered from mustard gas attacks. Have some empathy bro
Ok u know what I'm just going to do it myself
i moved one or two things around to better suit how i like to play
There
I honestly don't know what you can "move around" except maybe demo team
However now that I think about it, this build has no wave clear 🤔
Well
I'm not doing things alone
so like
i can just let the other guys handle wave clear
This build was always meant to pop elites/toss grenades at armor
That's not what I mean, the range/melee weapons are supposed to compliment each other
Especially since you didn't take frags
To me I've always though krak did much more damage
I've never used frag. im going to test it
Frag is an AOE that does bleed damage to everything it hits
oh
Krak is a small explosion that just a lot of damage in a small area
When I originally glazed over frag i thought it meant something completely different
I mean it’ll work but I wouldn’t run it lol
Shedders are better than kraks
Tbh though, the knife has decent wave clear so I don't think it's that big of an issue
Needs catch a breath
The problem with mercy is that it is a taxing blessing
For example if you are willing to put on riposte instead you can get access to one of the best nodes on the tree
On my knife I run uncanny ripoest
The node right next to serrated
Mercy is cool but way too much investment
And if you’re running ws id get out for blood
Demo team is absolutely goated with frags
I wouldn't take the extra grenade over it
I don't think the +1 nade node is needed
This seems a lot better actually (what I posted)
Try this
the regen from kills will give more actual grenades
So, good, no?
What weapons?
Also I swapped Agile Engagement for Serrated Edge
Knife needs a stam node and mk is way too taxing to make work
You’d be better off using uncanny riposte
Alright, so swap MK with Riposte, and give it a +2 stamina perk?
And out for blood is a better confirmed kill
So I swap MK with Riposte, give Knife +2 Stamina Perk, and start my build from the top right?
@obtuse finch get a stamina regen delay node the perks on knife are flak unyielding
is the power sword still good nowadays?
It’s his best weapon
phew
rocking this for the longest time
anything worth changing for H40?
grenade build
thanks
@wet elk this is the same hav 40 build
we bleedin?
With it yes
splendid
It’s very good but needs specific builds
this good?
Perks are flak unarmored and yeah it’ll work
@tired egret
Gunner breakpoints
hmmm
Nah they’re usually tougher than flak enemies lol
Stupid heretics, wearing flak armor when they can just tank shots with their thick skulls
i wish they touch up vet a little
when against crushers do i just shoot them or do i go melee
duelling sword
also yeah gunners for some reason have like 1400 hp
tryin to use power sword
In which case I hope you took a gun or blitz that can kill them
power sword is fine too
really dont like dueling sword for hordes
Shreds crushers
well yeah cuz DS is not amazing against hordes
but it doesn't really need to be
you have shredders for that, RIGHT?
yeah but they are finite
not when you're up the difficulties...
Power sword is better than dueling sword
having to rely on that doesnt sit well with me
I don't agree, it's generally less mobile and slower
makes it less safe to use

the thing is that
It’s harder to use but stronger
its good vs everything
Ps is fine you just have to be patient
And use ws
And it’s not slow at all even without the buff form ws
Vet loves setup and precision
compared to the immediacy of a duelling sword it is much slower to swap, special, then begin your attacks, than to just swap duelling sword and immediately stab a guy in the face
oh and if some random horde is like trailing you and is keeping you from specialing it sucks
yes when it comes to havoc PS is the way to go but man
He didn’t study the blade 🥀
I have a game where o got 4 pox bursters shoved into me by teammates while using the ps
But I did like 1.1 mil lol
Also I just use the tac axe on vet now

same but manstopper combat shotgun
I like having more ammo
(and accuracy over range)
When I stop THE MAN 😈

Dueling sword and laz gun with right side abilities
Is this good or nah
When I play psyker I use force sword the hooked one and I use electro staff
Which helbore
rn im using the
The slow or the fast one
Mk IV
Hell
Bore
Deez
bruh why its like the 3rd time im in havoc, the arbitrator doesnt use the medkit
and we all die
arby god complex
its always the arbites
When the
wtf
Anecdotal experience
It happens with everyone 
watch it get the fattest nerf when they are done milking it
the effort i was putting for the amount of work i was doing
was so disproportional
compared to vet, zealot, not to mention pscyher
https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/kQtk9KMbTZlnw5apq?invite=cr-MSxRNXIsMzA4NjQyMjU5&v=17 big dopamine (not a care in the world of what is going on besides me)

Yeah that's helby
i got blown up by a poxy
i was too tunnel visioned
Marksman’s focus needs a buff
not a buff, just a small rework
Arby is an op class bro
I soloed a handful of flak armor enemies and a monstrosity by myself and ressed my teammate
real
Yeah I’ve legitimately soloed entire pods of crushers/bulwarks
I never tried it myself but all the arbys never seem to die
Yes and no
The tree sucks dick but you hit as hard as a freight train
That is a definitely maybe kinda
I would say Psyker and Vet are in that Glass Cannon department yeah
We can output a lot of damage but can also get deleted in half a second sometimes.
Ik that zealot has an ability that just says no to death
Psyker gets a shit ton of defensive tools
And like 20000 other ways to regen toughness
Vet gets VOC
No that's Psyker
Nah psyker isn’t even a glass cannon lol
Can you really call it a glass cannon when it can get ranged immunity on demand
Infinite blocking
A literal fucking shield
Psyker is the glass
You still shouldn't get hit
It’s a glass cannon for people that don’t know how to use defensive tools
I consider it a glass cannon cause 1 mistake can be your last very easy.
So it's a class cannon with good defensive stuff
All went all in on damage.
Yeah that sums it up
Although I am planning to get ALL tdr and toughness nodes in the tree
For a meme build
Even then most people will have the sense to take EE and maybe KD
Which are the two most important defensive tools
Not enough points for some, lul.
I have at least KD in most cases.
Yah
Still find it funni a gunner will max your peril faster than a DH.
Bullets send you to the warp faster than daemons
Bullets are more powerful than demons, Doom guy moment?
Veterans are just basically weaker doomguys
Guys is there a mod for JUST weapon sights
Well
Yeah
Idts
Shoot the demon
It’s either full weapon customization or no
no
nooo what happened to rotten armor nm weird, it popped up just now
damn
The tox gas from rotten armor doesn't feel very threatening
it hinders visibility that's about it
Beware the overhead hidden in the clouds
Funny overhead shadow
Is maniac flak puncture and surgical good on bolt pistol
Surgical isn’t great on Bistol
Lethal prox is usually the other blessing
Or run n gun or point blank iirc
Execution if you're on Arb
Free stagger = free damage
Bonk Mauler, then shoot it, ez pop
I still run lethal prox for dogsplosion and impact nades
Why not just
Bonk it twice instead
Not always practical, more damage more gudder, myriad of reasons, If you can smash a Crusher in the head once, dodge out the way and put some space on the mob an still drop it really easily, then thats a plus
Don't work on dog, only impact.
Sadge
crouching ogryn, hidden overhead
Yep.
True grit and reeeeeeeeeeee
More like gloryhunter
If you don’t run lethal prox i suggest gloryhunter; it is very good (if target dies to bleed from puncture it counts as weapon kill and you proc gloryhunter) 
I think WS reloading/refill from reserve talents on the revolver are ass, attack me
Why revolver specifically
33% out of 5 = 1,65 = 2
2 is still nice imo
anyone know whtas the best recon lasgun overall
it's good, the guaranteed crit makes it so revolver one shots most things. The WS reload makes sure you always have at least one or two bullets when you pull it out to use the crit
I just feel like it's never enough to justify the talents just for the extra 1 or two bullets, i'm never dealing with 1 or 2 elites/specials
And that's only if you're at 10 stacks of melee ye
I didn't say ws isn't good, i said the reloading and refill is kinda butt
Well for 33% yes but if you want 2 bullets you can opt for 9 stacks cause thats gonna be 1,5 and since it rounds up it will be 2 according to math
It's pretty nice if you're regularly using your ranged in combat
Requires testing in psykanium
the refill is good because it makes it sure that you have those bullets when you need them. But yeah it is not mandatory, you can prevent it by reloading efficiently
Utilize tac reload 
Todays Community challenge. Run an executioners stance vet with the hellbore lasgun you suck most at and the achlys combat axe on auric maelstrom

I was up for that until you said Achyls 
@plain osprey Does running a Zealot with Achlys Combat Axe and Ius Shredder Autopistol also count? 
The Achlys isn't even that bad.
It just sucks that one attack does not deal any damage 
For you, because i know that you like that gun and are in the top 5-10 percent of players, the challenge is No melee and only a Grey ranged weapon of your choosing
Unempowered
The swing pattern is more awkward than me approaching women
Suitable to your skills
See? That's what i am saying. Youre more than apt for it. Alright, varlet, enough chit chat get to it
How does hotshot affect cleave, is it a % or a flat number? 🤔
Maybe it just works? 🤔
Things just working? In Darktide?!
You say you haven't had your daily prayer to the machine spirit of your lasrifle yet?
I made him run these
IT WAS ME 

The blessed oils can only do so much 
Maybe that's why the servers have been so shit recently
Lubricate your lasgun
They haven't been oiled?

Need some oil, candles and a few kind words
Well to be fair, i asked what they worst vet weapons were. So i literally asked for it 
With what 👀
IT WAS ME BARRY
Maybe Bolt Pistol?
name me a better duo
"walk into a big room"
"Every one immediately spreads out and dies to gunners"
That bridge on silo cluster:
No one seems to know about the walkway on the right that's almost completely covered lol
Cover is something alien for most people
Is the power sword any good? I wanted to do a melee focused veteran and power sword looks sick af
best/2nd best vet melee
just make sure it has the power cycler blessing ..
i think people use mk6 but it doesnt matter that much
yes
which helbore do u guys prefer?
The eternal struggle between the Helbore III gamers and IV enjoyers
Just when I get used to the routes people take people go the other way and I get molested by the horde
@tall torrent for 400 its a steal
It's stealing your Aquilas.
i only buy aquilas when fatshark releases good updates and i only speed them when i find good cheap things
so far only 20 euro for the crafting update
and i just spent it 
wtf you should be buying every slop shop rotation
Mk6 is the recommended. You can block cancel the charge up animation and the push attack is good against single targets
Wait things working
I got hit with so many 20XX errors last night I gave up playing for the evening
Like Bear pointed out, DB, Revolver, Bistol; but I will also add that the Combat Shotguns are also great like the DB for using Agile Engagement
I keep coming back to veteran. I hate to say it, but I think my era of ogrynism is over. At least for now.
I quite like veteran. Best cosmetics, best voice acting, best ranged weapons.
All opinions btw
@hybrid plover what do you run on sapper shovel my fellow shoveler
Welcome back to the gang!
Can ask me too
i advocate for shovel usage too
waddya guys think, is it reasonable to dump toughness gen perks/passives, if one uses shout with tactical awareness + the ability cd bonuses from 3 curios?
many damage/brittleness passives i want to take but i do have to give up survivability in that regard
You know I’m always listening to you 
Whatcha running on mark 1
Giving up toughness regen perks is unwise on a class that has such limited options but you can get away with the just one
O4B/Confirmed kill
It's not like they cost anything, you have to path through them
Unless you want to take the less useful talent lol
thought so, those were the ones i was contemplating on keeping the most. thanks
one moment i will show you everything actually
it does hurt a little that onslaught is so far
would be great for a few of my weapons
Yeah, don't feel like you have to take both, you'll not see many high level builds with both
I do regularly have close order drill and O4B though
Oops, wrong node lol
if i were to give up 3 talent points here, to get to onslaught what would that be?
What weapon is this for that you want both onslaught and WS for?
Onslaught is unfortunately quite expensive, so you'll have to make some sacrifices
ngl, maybe i do not get it yet but i'm not even a fan of WS, i just slap it on to have a keystone. otherwise regarding your question, i was thinking cases like recon lasgun vs crushers
Recon lasgun benefits little for. WS, it will still buff you melee though
So I would consider dropping confirmed kill and WS
Last one is more difficult though
i could maybe argue for it
but with how it is
eeeeh
i may just not be a WS enjoyer.
WS only works for what, one bullet? So it suits some ranged weapons better than others
yep
for example
with my boltgun
i have
1 guaranteed crit
but that's about it
You could always just ignore onslaught
It's only really needed for crushers
I just run a melee that can deal with them
Smaul, DS, PS, Mk3 shovel
One shot yeah, so it mostly sees use with DB, CS, Plas
I prefer it over FT Keystone cause I've gotten very tired of constantly spamming ping to get value.
XD
You spam ping to get value
I spam ping to see what the hell I'm shooting at
We are not the same
yeys that is the plan
Mk1 Eyeballs work really well for that
(I'm kidding, but I know what you mean, when in major crowds it can be a huge boon)
seriously
easiest way to find a sniper to ping wildly in its general direction
My brain just goes "SHOOT WHERE RED LIGHT COME FROM"
Sometimes they're in some weird spot though
^
Lmao, caught by the bot
I watch a man get sniped through the floor once
Will relent that is sometimes a case...like they shoot from a microfraction of a opening between two geometry pieces
But ping can still be used even without FT
XD
I've seen the laser come through but I haven't seen someone actually shot
Just wait till you see a Trapper net go through the floor
I did see someone get shot out of the windows in throneside once
I have a clip of it going through a physical wall and hitting me
Which is apparently somewhere they can spawn 
Swiss cheese geometry pieces
See i also thought "probalby won't actually shoot but just dodge just in case"
the poor lad didn't do that
Horror movie stuff
got netted through a wall more than once.
in VT2 I was hooked by a rat above me and it dragged me up through the level into the skybox and crucified me in the clouds.
Swiss CHEESE GEOMETRY
I guess the coding was "direction you hooked <player>, pull opposite"
using a complmentary angle
Basically that is what I assume
And since the AI can see through what we perceive as a wall but has a LoS, it can still grab
and in that state the player is in no-clip/no collision, which is why chaos spawns can grab you and if interrupted by a helpful player, you can be dropped outside the bounds of the level and see the underneath
Yesterday I figured out u can hit enemies through floors and I got to save an ogy from a dog
Yep XD
"You now see the Underworld, behind the MATRIX"
i wouldnt recommend dipping into both trees at the very top, choose one or the other imo
those points are better spent at the bottom where most of Vet's power is
If you really wanna have some extra toughness (and give some of your buddies some toughness) can always take FT's toughness regen on target kill effect
But its still throwing a point into something you don't necessarily need
is stock on a plasma gun heresy?
The Binary Speaking lunatics would say so
Though as a fan of aiming my firearms at the enemy properly, its not heresy
Which personality is the one female one that says “put the karkin boot in”
Is the loose cannon?
I think that's the Loose Cannon
It's either Professional or Loose Cannon
loose cannon
Ok. Thats my favorite voice in the whole game I think. Either that one or male cutthroat
Yee, its Bodyguard Ogryn and Loose Cannon fem Vet that I like most for their responses
Question
Yes good sir
This isn’t a callout to rag on people’s playing ability or anything. It’s an observation around critical decisions in havocs
How used to surviving on less than a wound in gray screen are vet players typically?
This is a decision over who takes medicae when both psyker and vet are in heavy corruption status
I think it should be vet because they need to see long range more than psyker does
arguably vet bc gold toughness is more important than bubble
usually its vet
Will probably come down to team comp. Would you rather lose your horde clearer or specialist sniper?
but both classes are going to get sneezed on and die from stray melee hits without proper defensive play
but in rare cases it can be the psyker, very dependent on team comp
I'm usually giving my meds off to Psyker and Ogryn, one cause Psyker has low health pool generally and one bad mistake means our bubble goes away, and Ogryns are prime targets for throwers and grenadiers who take a lot of damage out of that often enough.
So I am usually playing sub-wound cause I have my shout usually as my 'protection' as much for the team.
Personally I’d rather keep the specialist killer because the rest of the group should be able to hold out from large hordes even if longer
you could make an argument for either class
Most psyker players are probably accustomed to playing on gray screen for extended period by nature of the class
but imo boils down to who's more competent to hold their own
pyrostaff is going to make mixed hordes a lot easier to deal with, but gold toughness will keep survivability up substantially
But specialists and disablers like mutants can change the dynamic and ruin everything fast
My teams value Pyro more and bubble cause they despise gunners+snipers and mixed horde dynamics.
bubble just lets you play where you want mainly without getting fucked up too badly (from shooting units)
The thing with this is how in game I ran into an issue of the vet freezing up on using medicae when I really would’ve preferred he did
And can make a bad wave of ranged units not feel as bad on our beefy guy (ogryn)
were you in comms or was this randoms?
Wait he was refusing on using the Medi?
Yea. The team overall was less experienced with that particular rank of havoc. I told him to take the medicae and he was so shocked about it that he sort of paused
usually when that happens I often assure them that I won't die.
Okay that makes a bit more sense to me.
I think I made the right call regarding that
I usually tend to let people who are less experienced take the medicae so that they can stay in the fight longer
Id say VoC is more important in those kinds of scenarios imo
unless I absolutely need it I won't use it, or unless it's an instance where I need to take it for future rough fights
I really really want our long range guy to stay up comfy even if it means I’m playing on a hairs edge. I can hold on either way but I’d hate to lose the sniper/gunner killer especially on a level like the refinery ones underground
I do the opposite lol
Someone’s gotta carry this team
for sure, just preference when I play in lower havocs is all
Probably what I should’ve done but I hate making uncertain promises 
If I'm on deaths door (like sub 20 HP range, so even chip can get me inbetween a shout or random fire) I will usually ask for the Med, or a stim if in our group. Otherwise I do as much as I can to avoid using it for others who will likely take way more than I.
fair
Fair enough XD
im guilty of not grabbing medicae unless im sub 10hp sometimes
You really like running the wire, Hugz XD
"I can go a little longer cap'n!" looks like they fist fought a ogryn with a plastic spork
well it depends but a full heal on ogryn is more than a full heal on vet, so i'll gamble hoping a med stim pops up then go down and heal the wound
if i only have 1 wound left I'll take the medicae
It was more or less a 3 man team because someone was playing arby and much less experienced than the rest, so he unfortunately died quite a bit. I don’t think vet player immediately understood how much I needed him
spent those + WS here, worth? 25 toughness, 10% rending and -0.25 secs stamina regen start time
In a situation later the vet went down and shortly after because of that the ogryn went down. I managed a short clutch but the dynamic team composition is crucial
definitely grab ogryn damage then and test out FT
idk how much FT pushes breakpoints on bolter
but you should test to see if it makes a difference
It's also a teamwide damage boost to that target so it's worth either way, especially to deal with monstrosities
If it’s your last down before death, vet players should be higher priority for medicae/stim imo. Ogryn and arbites have range options but most aren’t as good and many are newer players with bad target priority or not as good aim
i agree, im just saying unless I'm down a wound I'd rather go down and wait for a green stim as opposed to using a medicae station
because a medicae use on someone with far more HP is more useful
vet and psyk gotta kinda get used to being in a position of being 2-tapped without proper toughness defense
Yeah I get your PoV on it, especially target prio right now seems all over the place with players.
yeah i always bring FT over WS for H40 just bc monstrosities are a big enemy threat
Yep, especially in those multi spawns and then clown car of crushers+maulers into the horde wave
When the bosses need to die immediately before getting swamped
Yea and that’s perfectly logical. Psyking it is more or less the same. If I’m close to dying I’ll just play more conservatively for a short time or maybe still go all or nothing if they really need a boss taken down
power is nothing with no survivability
it is good wdym
It is?
ofc
come to vc mah man
i dont think you need both toughness nodes at the top
one or the other is sufficient when paired w/ VoC and iron will
It’s great on boss damage but I wish it handled mid level guys like gunners a little faster. The only real downside is lower ammo capacity
you also don't think when you're dead
whats your point
accuracy too to a degree
I just use zarona now to save more ammo
Frankly I would just take one of the top nodes for regeneration then take Target Down down the FT line, you then also give your team more toughness and stamina per kill.
being able to have multiple sources of toughness generation on a build is widely known to be a good choice;
Vet has O4B, CK & CaB
Zel has Second Wind & abilities
Psyker has... many choices for warp & non-warp usage
Ogryn has for both multiple or single target hits & steady grip
Arby has staggers & stamina used toighness regen
yeah but vet is heavily taxed so spending points on toughness generation at the expense of combat effectiveness usually isnt a good idea
VoC + iron will spam is the main point of survival for vet anyways
i use them in almost every build and my performance ain't worse; its actualy good cause you can take more toughness pressure rather than backing away/taking cover
When you have none of that, you'd be happy to have some other way to get toughness back.
think differently my friend; not everything is obvious 
There was a really interesting discussion awhile back to be a 'toughness printer' with Born Leader for the team
i have considered it but its just a worse option
Fair enough.
there's a balance between survival and combat effectiveness and id rather output more damage if it means i can play well enough without needing several toughness nodes
2 points can be the difference between several nodes like ogryn damage, FT, trench fighter, weakspot dmg, etc. depending on the loadout
Yeee.
Caring about your teammates?

That's basically the same build I use for my Laspistol setup
Cause that's when I can't trust people
I love the several quotation marks around Healing lol
They need to make sure you know its """"""Healing""""""""
This is honestly troll
Because you overcap toughness 90% of the time
So it's useless 90% of the time 💀
This is my favorite troll build tho 
No onslaught but braced autogun!? HOW DARE
Do we really need another onslaught debate here?
No
But its still funny
Wasn't there also a triple-ability taking build someone also shared in here a bit ago too?
A what?
could be slightly better
its honestly not a bad idea tho
depending on the strategy & weapons
Isn't it a bit overkill?
nah
if you use high burst weapons all these will add up vs ogryn waves & bosses
like boltgun
Fatshark
Give vet flamer and my life is yours
Even better, give us a Meltagun
More unique weapons
Not shared ones
I personally use FtE & Marksman on boltgun & it melts big targets
is it worth it to go for Agile Engagement instead of elite damage and stamina delay?
for DB
both abt as equally good imo
I'm not sure if elite damage will hits any breakpoints
How else will we pass the time while we wait for new vet content? 
Veteran players
Flak/maniac or carapace
Uncanny/skullcrusher or decimator.
Could be daring and replace decimator for all or nothing too.
I already have it lol
if u mean curio perk toughness regen, drop all
if u mean toughness gain talents, u want at least 1 at top
Stack toughness, nuff said 
Vets running havoc 40 with an offmeta build 
I actually do this on an infiltrate build
with the +30% damage from infiltrate
aka the "turn everything to paste in 5 seconds" build
Vets who go offmeta in Havoc 40 and don't even do what their niche build was done for:
I raise you vets still popping off at havoc 40 despite going off meta and going off their niche build 
If you see a krieg vet with a Shovel and Helbore in h40, they're probably cracked out of their mind
I don't think Helbore is offmeta anymore tbh
yeah it's not
Shovel is though.
Shhh don't let the rest of the other class chats know
Let us have our fun with helbore
Helbore is still more tricky to use than other meta options tbhi
Yeah, but it's super rewarding in the right hands
It's probably one of the most balanced meta options. And I'm glad Fatshark made it that way.
Takes getting used to, more deliberate but if used right, probably one of the best ranged weapons in the game now.
I think it's kinda silly to need to hold m1 while ads to charge the thing
The one thing that probably isn't gonna let it be a top pick tbh
xd
peak
Yeah. That's why I use that mod. I feel bad about it but like
They could have done something like this with the update too.
Console players be damned. 😔
is there a hidden "you do extra damage" tied to hellbore that I should know about
feels when I crouch and aim it gets a little bump in damage
no
WHAT
that is amazing
You might be experiencing the reverse fall off.
none have diff dmg profile between crouching and standing afaik
I cant remember whcih but I know some weapons do have bumps in damage dependant on you crouching and aiming and not because of the veteran thing
helbore has reverse damage falloff
it does more damage the further away your target is
all las weapons have this except for the uuuuh
laspistol I think?
gotcha
I wonder what perks should I even run for Helbore in Havoc
maniac unyielding
It's like I know unyielding awesome cuz reapers but everything else dies anyways so wtf do I use
Ok I'll just keep maniacs then
Also today I learned you can knock the twins with a plasma headshot...
That'll be useful when clutching
1hs flamer
I just get better via vibes 
helbore for havoc is nice but i cant decide between IV and IIIa
how does penance make every shot count actually work
so u can play both
i get no ammo part
great idea

bring double barrel shotgun, shoot horde
as long as a single real pellet hits any alive enemy and deals damage, it counts the whole shot as "having hit smth"
Aight gonna give it whack
Get the fuck out of my porch
What
or is that only works if u have ammo to reload
don't take survivalist
last two perks
Last 2 perks of what?
Take it off for the penance ig, but if you just constantly double fire I think you can deplete the ammo anytime you want
You can but it's gonna be harder
okie
time to switch than
i'm keeping krak
since i'm doing penance for it
already
lol
Looks like absolute click bait ngl
Do I have to watch it?
The point of running double barrel is to make sure that not even a disabled chimpanzee can miss the shots
The reason you take DB is because it's pretty difficult to miss with it 💀
For the penance
Also ngl his Psyker looks like is carrying the absolute shit out of him in that video
Smh my head
so no point of using marking perk
I wanna try out the shovel but I feel like it's a BAD idea to run it with the helbor
Every word after “idea” can be scrapped and it still remains true
Vet's job in havoc usually is taking out specialists
He keeps mag dumping on crushers
Yeah I tried out thr shovel in psykanium and oh my god its fucking pitiful
I think I had decimator and uncanny and even then it was poopy
op blessings but base weapon so bad lol
This is probably better anyways
Also wish the double barrel had a non sawed off version that behaves like a sniper
rn coping build u sent
just gonna use crack instead of smoke
That's a DB build
I was talking about the plasma build from the video
Actually hang on I messed up on a couple talents, now it should be updated
🤔
Is DB good on havocs? @tall torrent
lol imagine if DB shot slugs
Why doesn't it
Let us pick ammo types for dB;-;
Which makes WS DB even more important
Flechette buckshot and slugs
Ws?
I have scatter on it
So with that and WS
😈
niche but strong in that niche
I think it's one of the best designed weapons in the game
Agri combat shotgun
good design, feels good to use, has its downsides and upsides, overall balanced and strong
I totally forgot about the combat shottys
What is WS?
weapon specialist
Weapon specialist lets you guarantee crit
Which in turn makes DB very very happy
How happy
combat shotguns aren't bad with WS man stopper either
gives them more versatility
they ain't gonna clear crowds like DB does but they sure do punch through
Combat shotgun and DB share a lot of blessings right?
yeah
you basically never have to reload and can guarantee bleed proc
And infinite cleave
sawed off shotgun killing snipers 500 football fields away is funny
How did you miss with the DB? 
😼
So nobody gonna help him
turns out i didnt
someonebody on team had or i did
ammo thingy
now i got cocked again
with 1 bullet replanished
Did you empty the gun before getting into the plane?
no it wasn't plane this time
it was that church twin resurection thingy
and i didn't have time to empty last round
either way i like this build
way more than plasma
using dueling sword instead of combat
Did you learn the forbidden combo? 😈
Can all of the hellbores one-shot crushers or is it just one
nope
i dont think i did maybe i did
i'm bit daft
Only mk iv
Ah
Always prepared
I hate the slow charge of it and if always screws me over
If you kill 1 enemy with melee and then switch to the DB you get a shot for free without reloading
Weight of fire helps a lot
ohh
that
than i did
but i wasn't paying attention to that as much i wanted to deplet ammo
for fucking penanance
but turns out someone on team had replanish
or something similar
gonna try again 2morrow to do fucking annoying penance
Yeah it's nice but it feels annoying when I almost fully charge it but don't 😭
dunno why am i even bothering when i'm gonna use coat toughness penance one either way
lol
You will pay for your sins

Down with the emperor
How's everyone today?
