LOL
It's the blessing that gives you strength scaling off of how low your stamina is.
Trapper done tucked me away on the top shelf
Tzeetchian trapper.
ill do 1 game with uncanny + skullcrusher and then try that :]
But yeah AoN is not a bad option solely because the more you push and sprint , the more strength you're getting.
I'm not fdoinbg very good with shovel
welcom to vet
And vet isn't entirely known for great stamina retention so it ends up being more effective. You just have to know when to back off since it's a risk and reward kind of blessing.
But being at max stacks of AoN ends up being 40% strength.
š³ vet needs more stam?
this is a gremlin moment
Yeah. But realistically, that would mean you're at 0% stamina. You don't always wanna bank on that. So trying to keep yourself at say... 20-40% stamina is still really good
good point
20% stamina = 32% strength. 40=24. So on and so forth.
It says up to 8% but that's a fucking lie.
Thanks Fatshark.
im going in a mission now
it scared me ngl
Yeah it's a very badly worded blessing.

Watch Untitled by Crunchie5 and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal. Tags: #warhammer40000darktide, #warhammer40, #000darktide
Realistically 32%
I assume the jump was a panic jump? XD (I've done the same thing forgetting how many dodges I have)
i tried to dash back š
Also AoN bugged
Heres a tip
For shovel and tac axe it is 10% Tstr per stack
Don't have your jump and dodge be the same key.
Realistically u can keep 4 stacks up
Oh I actually forgot about that
Yeah so it's stronger for shovel
My dodge key is actually one of my side mouse buttons
Unfortunately shovel is a gaslighting tier melee
Itās rly just a blessing stick XD
It honestly is š
Like it's usable but by God the boss damage is just
I wish it was better God dammit
It has a unique thing nothing else has
the bonk
That being said. It's one of those weapons that will make you a better player imho
(i say this about the sound nothing else mechanically, it just has a great bonk sound)
This is a great level of cope exclusive to people that gaslight themselves into using shovel
Sometimes gaslighting yourself works out 
i never bind anything to those cus i feel like i always find a way to press them by accident ..
arby arby arby
Not California compliant pistol
evil butter spreader
gonna try another run but with the other helbore and see what happens
I'll huff all the copium I want.
was in a match sorry
match was going so well, we came out of elevator and theres like 3000 crushers bulwarks maulers and ragers
1 trapper folded the entire team tho
It really do be like that.
me explaining why I am using 2 revolvers with acogs in COD ghosts
my fav call of duty
mostly because of the extinction mode
at least there's an achievement for that
do you run AMD on your PC? apparently it's a been a problem with AMD PC's (can confirm, I run all-AMD)
or maybe I'm thinking of a different problem related to AMD
I got no mods on my end
Mk4 :)
vraks IAG
Agri combat
I been hipfiring the fuck out of it
I'm running all amd yes
Nope, no mods
Infantry autogun mk5 is insanity
Do u mean long loading times
Thatās prob because of disabled mesh streamer
Mesh streamer has an issue where it may not fully render everything up to detail resulting in polygon environments and weapons
That too and massive fps drop
Oh idk then
Prob an AMD issue with mesh streamer
My pc has been defeated by a cosmetics page š
Still team red over greem
I just don't like nvidia because their stuff is expensive
Although they cook with rtx
Newest yes
Older stuff u can find used parts much cheaper
Yeah thats true
That's a juicy card
The only worth 40 series for me
I got a used 7900xtx for £400 from a friend
4080 super also good
4080 price was bad no?
4080 super is not 4080
what about 4080i
I think they mean ti but forgots z the t
Thereās no 4080ti
Itās just 4080 and 4080 super
And 4080 is not produced anymore, just 4080 super
Yeah
RTX sucks in my experience
Also does onslaught debuff only work for you or team too
I have a 5070 Ti but only because I upgraded from a 6900 XT because I wanted CUDA + tensorcores
The mk6 power sword was the better one right
onslaught, isn't that the brittleness debuff
Yes
no it works for everyone but onslaught sucks
Bottom right
throw it away into the abyss
:(
:|
It's amazing with infinite ammo lasgun
Budget version of soften them up
50-series are just botched lol
yeah I think I got like... 4 or 5 year warranty though, so eh
The real infinite ammo lasgun (helbore) doesnāt care about brittleness
Is the brittleness significant enough to help team?
Like if I light up a crusher
If ur team exclusively runs weapons that are bad at carapace damage, yea
Whatās the perks and blessings for mk4 again
Ah
Maniac
Unyielding
Surgical
WoF / hotshot / sustained fire
everything is better in my experience, I get more stable framerates too
Ty
but, I also paid basically the same price for like a slight upgrade, I probably wouldn't have upgraded at all if I didn't really want CUDA + tensorcores
2nd Q
Whatās the setup for mk6 psword
I see
I know cleave dump
maniac elite/cara PC4 + brumentum
cleave targets dump
Thanksies
I would actually more recommend the 6900 XT for gaming unless you for some reason want to mess with, like, productivity things
or their new GPUs
which I think are comparable in performance
Yeah amd is good for gaming
they are fantastic for gaming in my experience and have better linux support
Yeah better rasterization
drivers builtin to kernel instead of nvidia where it's like I have 15 different packages I could install and only one of them is the right choice
or maybe only two
I dunno
I like amds uh
Idk whar to call it
Their app
To adjust stuff
It's way more organised
oh, yeah adrenalin or whatever
Yeah
they did a flip, nvidia's control center used to be better than catalyst now it's like nvidia's software is a dumpster and AMD's is really quite good
also, nvidia's fucking geforce bullshit which is where you get shadowplay etc, they sell your data according to the privacy policy, and you need to login to use it, soooooooo
yeah that's cool
Wtf š
I feel like people are only now kind of starting to wake up to like oh wait nvidia is evil, now
which is a shame because it's far too late now
way, way, way too late
well not in terms of VRAM
also, I don't think that
it actually is
idk where you're getting that information but just due to the age of the card alone it's probably not outperforming new cards
especially in DX12 applications
is the 60 series coming out
c:
You donāt need to login still
did they change that
oh good, I'm glad
if they did change it then I am 100% okay with that, I'm wrong
Thereās a 6000 already 
Nvidia's CEO is literally trying to automate every inner working of the company with AI.
lol
It just costs 10k usd 
I forgot to mention which card sorry , the 5060
"hey my little employees, you're doing such a great job, really good, but now we're gonna have to have you come in for a little medical procedure, everyone is getting these neat little AI-driven RTX chips implanted in their brains to help you raytrace in real life! this is a free upgrade courtesy of the CEO"
Nvidia is still good, just overpriced as fuck
And AMD gave up on competing at the high end
Yup
Never thought Iād see the day I root for Intelā¦
they gave up competing because they spent the past like 20 years where no one bought their graphics cards
there's people going like ohhh AMD gave up I can't believe it and it's like well yeah, did you buy an AMD GPU? no? exactly
Iād love for AMD to get good again at the higher tier cards
fortunately u can almost entirely bypass nvidia's bs if ur on linux
Their cpus are excellent yeah
Everyone just likes Linux
geforce app also not a thing on linux (?)
It's a better windows righ
Its also just not as user friendly.
mostly just
kernel level anticheat
some games are fine and work
Oh
some don't and the devs don't bother adjusting
linux being user friendly or not can vary greatly based on the distro ur using
yeah there's no geforce app or nothing
well there's nothing veteran related to talk about
also, it fits that veterans are linux users
Fair
psykers are mac users, zealots use windows 11, and ogryns have a laptop with a cracked screen
diff variations of linux
because it's open source (based) everyone can make their own versions of it
hence the many different like 'joke' distros
Oh wow
Psykers as mac users is amazing LMAO
most beginner friendly for windows users is prob Mint
(psst don't listen to him and don't use mint, try manjaro instead)
it's quite literally Windows if it wasn't Windows
Sounds rlly nice but I think I'd go crazy trying to relearn everything
you do have to be willing to learn but it's not that bad
in many ways it's more user friendly, hence people using linux at all
I'll stick to my windows 11 that is prob filled with endless bloatware
if it was harder to use, then people would not use linux
Fair
I would tell u to go with CachyOS but u also have to type a few more commands from time to time cuz Arch
one of the most frustrating things after win7 for me was when every windows just had like all these different UI changes between not just versions but updates and then even layers of different UI for all these different settings that sometimes change the same thing but have different options
win11 for instance, if you want to look at like power options, you have the win11 power options or you can look up the oldschool control panel to get like circa 2005 windows XP control panel with different power options AND advanced power options inaccessible otherwise
the biggest upside of linux is that most bs that happen on windows just don't occur on linux
for example, ur usb drivers crashed and now ur mouse doesn't connect, that doesn't happen
also security wise it's much more difficult for malicious software to steal data from u cuz linux has root access above all else
it's a NIGHTMARE to navigate all that shit, it's soooo much more user UNFRIENDLY than linux, where, like, this is my entire control panel on gnome
it's so much nicer
yeah there are also tons and tons of windows bugs you don't get on linux, we don't have the concept of a bluescreen for instance at all
WHAT OMG
;-;
is it good
it's a turbocharged 5090 that sells for 5 digits USD, made for AI work
it does look nice
if you swap GPUs on windows you basically have to reinstall the operating system or else you will randomly get bluescreens from stray ATI or nvidia .dlls
on linux I didn't have to do shit, I just installed the nvidia drivers
and if I wanted to go back to AMD I would just uninstall the nvidia drivers
gg
u dont have to reinstall the whole system
just drivers i believe
on linux it's either "it all just works" or u hard cope with some wiki for 40hrs straight
you do, in my experience, I have tried all the driver removal tools for windows to get cruft out of your system, never ever worked for me
better security is def nicer
DDU?
even like the whole boot into safe mode and use DDU to remove your drivers, NEVER worked
thats really strange
it should always work
so fuck it all
I was there, a hundred years ago, where everything was done by cmd prompts on a blank OS with no GUI
i ate too much pizza and my stomach hurts now
like on DOS or during a regular install of arch
also weirdly enough linux ran most games better for me than win11
O. O YOU SAID 5 DIGITS
one of the big contributors for me was like
every fromsoft game
works linux day 1
always very happy about that
oh, shit, that reminds me I know some people had like weird problems with that one wukong game cuz they didn't have a system that supports like h.265 or some shit but then I ran it on linux and it ran for me lmao
linux randomly gets a W on random games sometimes for no good reason
prob 2 toughness and 1 stamina or all 3 toughness
health / toughness / stamina
for perks u got options
gunner, CDR, toughness, corruption, etc
its weird
yea AMD problems
im not too bothered cuz my game runs fine
for curios, Toughness, Toughness, Toughness, for perks, Toughness, Toughness, Toughness, for your build, Toughness, and for your character name, Toughness, your dog name, Toughness, and for your
what if im not that tough? š„ŗ
run triple +3 stamina curio
every single game I've played on linux so far ran better than on win11 for me
if not better fps straight up, then more stable frametime (which to me is better)
this game has very dynamic builds with a great amount of player choice and variety
prob becaus linus is a lot smaller
and uses less resources
compared to windows
by the way would you prefer to know the one veteran build now or will you accept it later?
usually yes, still depends on distro
Veteran likes at least one health curio.
ah
true, I forgot about that
LMFAO
there are some meme tier bloated distros for linux
im just as bloated after eating pizza
who am i to judge
I honestly have not compared most of my games to windows, if they run on linux they're probably gonna run well so idc
even if I gained like 10fps on windows not worth it
right now I don't even have windows installed cuz I cbf
normally I dual-boot
but eh
dual-boot for work
there is no reason of course why you can't dual-boot
I make the steam guide weapon moveset charts in powerpoint
makes sense
openoffice and libreoffice are like OK
but, yeah
but one trap I remember I fell into a very long time ago was like "oh I'll use windows for most of my games and linux for other stuff" and then I spent all my time on windows
I think he needs it in text form for the tables
a
nowadays with steamplay and proton we can just do everything on linux except EAC games and the new battlefield which wants like bios anticheat which is a LOLNO on linux
by the way - the whole "cheaters are linux users" thing is so so funny to me, when it's like
libreoffice straight up doesn't display the arrows correctly
lol
and I'm not bothered to learn how to use it proper
we can only even play most of these games on linux as of the past few years, and if you are trying to do like cheaty things, why in gods name would you be on linux, you're probably a script kiddie trying to run programs that hook and alter stuff in memory right
when almost every IT job ever still uses windows for the normal stuff
ffffff
cheat engine does not have a linux build
fucken sat in queue for 10 minutes just for deadlock to roll an update and kick me out
so it's like. lol.
fair
oh that sucks
yeah
dota 2 has that kinda as well right
valve always be updating
I did not like deadlock from what I played of it, feels too aimless
I updated steam guide's talent sections (simplified)
Great if you're unemployed
if you didn't play dota2 I can see why deadlock would feel fresh
Watch Untitled by Crunchie5 and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal. Tags: #warhammer40000darktide, #warhammer40, #000darktide
um guys
deadlock is basically dota 2 but first person and you right click on creeps and enemies by shooting
third person
whatever
owned and skill issue to be honest
this is why you blow up barrels when you see them
skill checked
it was the arby
on our team
You also need to aim last hit, but is more shared.
yeah which dota 2 also has including denying
yay
big fan of that
last hitting is the shittiest moba mechanic and doesnt deserve to keep living
I have not played it since 2024 so it has probably changed a lot but yeah if I wanted to play dota, my general perspective is I would rather just play dota
and I don't particularly want to play dota at the moment
See
If it was me
I would've flown back to the platform
360 the gunner
Melee the poxbursters
Yes, but majority on last hit, rest are souls.
720 nose pop shove it
and then kill the arby on the team
Although he'd probably kill himself if left unattended
Considering the average Arby's player
where jarvis meme?
Honestly I've just gotten to the point where if I see three arbitrators in the team, I'm out.
It's either I'm not going to be able to play the game, or I have to babysit morons.
Meaning I'm also not playing the game.
It's a lose lose.
Iāve mainly just been doing true solos but itās not the same. I like teamplay
Arb is a solo class
Okay it's not that overbearingly strong. Havoc 40 is still havoc 40 and you still need to have a brain up there not to die even as an arbitrator.
That being said, it's clearly balanced more for havoc.
And that's not a good thing.
Okay, true. But still, my BIGGEST problem with it is that it has no team role
Aside from āfrontlineā with the best damage and defense
What's a team role?
Sorry I guess I defined it bad
Nuncio does actually make the class more team oriented.
But what I mean is that like playing with a vet is like gold from shout and ammo regen
Whereas the arb is fully stacked into themself
Like itās very selfish in nature
They provide the team with damage reduction, Nancy, and damage to staggered enemies
On top of holding agro and doing damage which all classes can do
The talent not the aura
Forgot the name of it
Yeah it's not that the class itself promotes selfish play in design.
They also reduced enemy damage
Usually just for bosses
It's that it's so powerful that people take it as an excuse to play selfishly.
The talent top left of right side aura
Suppression protocol?
Works for all enemies
Ohhh you mean in practice
Depends on team and user I guess
The design in theory is fine. But the numbers are just too crazy in their current state.
Yeah thatās what I meant, in practice. Because if it is actually staggered it wonāt deal damage
So like head shooting a boss
Is the case it works in
Sounds about right
I am also totally biased with my experiences
Arby basically has built in stagger even when something doesn't get staggered.
Tbf some people genuinely don't know that concussive works like that
All classes have talent and buffs they provide with the team. But this all varies depending on the team, mission, and user knowledge and skill. Arby being seen more self centered is probably because users feel like the main character with the class's current power level thus playing solo and not providing their "team role"
I do all this shit to try and make shovel feel better
I do see your point
and then I try out a scriers DD BFGS melee build ONE SINGULAR TIME
feels infinitely better š©
Concussive is a weird talent
Yep. It's just too strong and it promotes some players to play like an asshole.
What enemy can't I stagger as Arby's?
Nothing.
Because as long as you hit a weakspot in melee, it is considered staggered.
I also play just h40 pub and arbs have usually less game sense to get good credentials
concussive needs to be obliterated
I mean. Even that's a hard pressed question because grenades stagger literally anything.
Iāve had most of my bad experiences from arb, not shroud
Dunning Kruger
I also feel a little annoyed ogryn out damages psyker usually
They think they know
Ogryn is ogryn
Easily on top
They way over done the rework
I do still think it's weird
ogryn and arb need stat nerfs
psyker needs mechanical nerfs and stat nerfs
I know people love the class, and Iām fine with it being super tanky and big bro protects, but also like ogryn is the other class that plays the second most like solos
Sadly
it is not that weird in practice
Right now balance is skewed
And I am praying that Fatshark does the thing that will improve the game
Like I learned to play psyker up to my h40 clear and I just had ogryns keep telling me to keep up or join the brotherhood with aggro dumps on me
But I don't think they will nerf
They want consumers and money
Nerfs won't do that
Nerfs only appeal to the top 1%
The only thing that's truly weird about concussive is how it doesn't mention that it being considered stagger isn't the same as actually being staggered.
doubt
Yeah...
The things I hear from the play tester server....
It makes sense from a business front, but it makes the game bland to me
I actually went and learned vt2 but then got sad because I was playing solo almost all the time
I spend most of my time doing solos in vt2 now
P2P moment
VT 2 feels way more rewarding
buffing is not inherently bad
some stuff just need to be toned down over time
I agree
But do you think fatshark knows or cares to balance around us?
They cater to the average play in heresy/malice
don't think so
it's very clearly balanced around havoc now
Honestly, I don't think so
the most recent 2 patches of balance changes
Yeah havoc's existence and the insistence of Fatshark to balance things around it tell me otherwise.
But balancing things around Havoc isn't the way to go either.
Reduced quelling for Psyker at havoc
So we buffed Crack
But now it's counterproductive because you quell too much

It's not meant to be a fair experience in theory.
should have given all enemies x30% warp DR in havoc
that'll prob make psyker balanced
would honestly prefer that
at least gun psyker isn't "m2 + m1" braindead
and u actually need weakspot hits with gun psyker (like veteran) which is at least 10000x more skill than blasting flame at enemy
But now, more ppl want ammo.
"BUT NOOOO THEY HAVE STAVES SO THEY SHOULD USE THEM SO THEY DON'T WASTE AMMO, GUNKERS WASTE AMMO"
Wahwahwah
Good. I'm honestly tired of the whole "gunker isn't viable" meme.
It's more tricky but completely doable but people really will get mad about Psykers not using staves because they waste ammo, solely because they have a ranged means that doesn't use ammo.
they'd get it if they deserved it
Kinda funny
Had a bolter vet recently
He performed averagely
Still had to let him get ammo
Smh my head
Which is funny because in theory, a gunker who actually knows how to hit their shots technically gets more investment out of their ammo because they just do so much more damage than any other human class.
how does one use lethal proximity with boltgun to benefit the gernades?
True. But is the mindset. People decide on failure almost immediately on sight of lobby.
You apply LP to bolt Pistol
That is all you have to do.
Done
And yeah it's bolt pistol
do i need to hold the boltgun or
Nope
Funny enough, no.
Just having the blessing
is MK VIc considered the best out of all recon lasgun marks?
Bistol is just the best statstick.
it's good
i will pair it with my shayla the shockmaul
the best
Man. That's a weapon I wish was better.
there's not rly a consensus on "best"
tho most would say VIc / XII
it's kinda preference
whats the difference c:
The best recon lasgun, is clearly the vraks infantry autogun 
One requires you to wait for burn out, the other kills.
Both just shreds bosses so lul.
boring gun vs fast firing peashooter boring gun
bath rawr moment
is t he 12 the slightly slower firing but cleaving one
and technically more dps vs enemies u actually want to shoot
that's XIV
me when asking randoms how to win in havoc 40
it's simple
be psyker, arb or ogryn
steamroll everything with overwhelming dps
or u can play veteran and suffer
Hey at least you get bragging rights for doing it.
yes
there're no bragging rights when psyker can flame everything and do 4x ur dps with 0.000001x effort
What I'm getting at is that it's much more impactful getting an h40 win as a vet, or zealot too really.
You actually feel like you had to kick your feet through mud to do it.
Don't feel the same on the other classes.

until u open scoreboard and see psyker with 2.5M dmg
They really do need to do something about inferno staff.
300 lesser enemies killed 
give every enemy in damnation & higher difficulties x0.3 warp DR, ez
It's crazy how they just make an infinite flamer with no mobility drawbacks that balance the zealot equivalent.
only way to balance an unreasonable class is through seemingly unreasonable means
Also. Cap soulflame.
It's capped?
Harder.
The stacks you can accumulate with soulfire with inferno and perilous are honestly insane.
or reduce soulblaze max stack cap to <10
preferably 4 or lower (this kneecaps its dmg back to stone age)
Especially since it increases damage exponentially.
Okay I know that it's not actually exponential path. But for all intents and purposes, it feels that way.
And that's enough.
Who up using their brain in the big 25
i feel like i just solo'd the twins
i got their shields down and everyone decides to help then
Thats actually the best way to deal with them most of the time
1 takes agro and slowly chips bubble while 3 others take horde/other enemy agro. When bubble pop/low threat burst dps twins since they don't have a HP cap to Regen their shield

nop
It's also good practice to solo twins
Since they are just captains with only 1 weapon
hey guys whats a good chainaxe for horde clear
i just use the mkIV chainsword cuz i like how it feels
the powerswords are fun but i wanna use chain weapons for now
Why take reciprocity over CQK?
Mk4 with bloodletter and thunderous. @steep flower can offer some better advice tomorrow.
helps you deal with cara
thanks alot man have been dealing with an annoying amount of carapace lately
No prob, have fun. Rip and tear yadayada
I love the chain weapons
have a good one i appreciate it
im assuming the dump is mobility?
Defenses
oh shi
Mobility also works
@tame lodge U know why this is?
25% crit chance
Tru
If you aren't dodging as a vet, you aren't playing the class right.
no dodge no block no melee vet run
go go go go go
Dodge or diee
What ranged weapon is good for killing hordes quickly, so I can finish the mmf penance fast
Uh
Recon las is taking a while
Flamer?
Not vets
Vet don't have flamer
Oh right
flamer is only for zealot brodie.
I'll try zarona
which is saddening.
What perks and blessings
Scattershot Manstopper
Also zarona is more dmg but less accurate than agri shotgun right
Just spam special at head height
I'd like the flamer on more classes.
Alright
It's ready
Time to try it
Great I went into the game and forgot to take off shock trooper 
genuine question
has anyone noticed that scab melees have been uh
particularly bad lately?
How do you build agri shotgun
mobility dump, full bore and no respite usually
Melee 
you can, but the spread is a lot tighter than the other shotguns so you don't get as much mileage out of those two
and the slug always procs full bore
Damn, full bore and no respite do more dmg than having fire frenzy and deathspitter?
yes
also agri has decent stagger so quick to get full stacks
usually you'll be using slug to stagger big targets like reapers or maulers or to kill targets like trappers and snipers, and mag dumping softer targets like gunners and shotgunners
How so
the amount of elites
to put this into perspective, off of some shredders, i killed over 30 maulers and over 20 crushers in a single horde
that's a lot
you think the recent event has messed up spawns even in missions without it enabled?
cause that's what it sounds like.
i think so because i mean
this modifier's always been pretty nuts
but it's been really bad lately
like, worse than h40 levels of bad at times
I've been off in vermintide as of late after learning a few weeks back that chaos champions are bugged and finishing the event.
so haven't really had time to notice it
next week on the 14th.
Aug14
not only that but a group of over ten snipers?
is that what it says ingame or what
Mb typo
Blame phone keyboard
understandable
Yea I had some missions with a butt fuck ton snipers
I even had a sniper that was aiming at this ogryn but last second swapped to me and just erased me
Chainaxe will never be a good horde clear weapon until its hidden mechanic is removed
That being said; use Mk IV and not only heavy attacks but combine Push Attack into Heavy & Repeat - it has good CC properties
If you wanna know more i can show ya in a stream here on discord in vc 
To me chainaxe feels more home with zealot
Hey thanks man, i figured out the push attack by accident and its pretty useful, whats the hidden mechanic? I cant vc at the moment since im busy servin at my local Church
Eviscerator axe when
Chain mace
i need a chain baseball bay
Can wait till you're finished with your divine work brudda
there is no rush
Does anyone know what determines a Mutants Aggro
Thanks boss man i ppreciate it, may hit you up later
is it just me or does anyone else have an issue where if your mag is empty and you extract it sends you back to the title screen
Anyone watched kpop demon hunters?
WHAT IF
We use the power of music and friendship to kill the heretics?
Clearly violence isnāt working too well right now
āLeftenant, I have a suggestionā
Best veteran build?
if you want to be boring, dueling sword and plasma would probably be considered "the best"
but there's so many intricacies with vet that you can get more returns with other setups
Alright its time I learn
what the fuck is Ranged Finesse Damage on veterans left keystone
im ready to learn
Is it just rending
Weakspot damage
Finesse is a boost to weakspot, critical, and critical weakspot damage. More accurately it's boosting your finesse multiplier, where that represents your critical weakspot damage and weakspot/critical hits are just a fraction (60% usually) of the bonus.
As a sub-fact, because it only boosts your finesse mult something like a 75% finesse increase only applies to the damage gained from a finesse hit, rather than the total hit.
I want to be boring. Explain more
It effects Crit weakspot also but its just "weakspot" in general
Aka click on head = good damage output
Arlight fair
Conversely, Finesse on melee weapons iirc is just how fast you swing the weapon right
the candles
That's for the weapon stat, which has the same name but isn't the same. Finesse buffs boost the damage for weakspots, critical hits, and critical weakspot hits. On weapons, it scales the damage template finesse value between a set min/max (TL:DR: normally you get 50% between the min/max, weapons with the finesse stat go up to 80%) and also attack speed.
They sing to me
It blew my mind the other month when I read that Defences doesn't effect block cost reduction
Yeah the ingame stat cards are quite silly. For a period of time they were entirely incorrect for all of the infantry autoguns and some of the brautos, was really funny.
Feels like they should all be called something like Ease, Adept, Stamina something like that
Same thing for melee its mainly rewarding weakspot hits in an extreme TLDR
I feel like the power sword is better for hordes but still good with carapace
PS6 is better for vet than DS is imo
For a second I thought your meant PlayStation š
I didn't understand any of that
The 6th power sword is better than any dueling sword in their opinion
Thnx
Aaaah, thank you
Just say the popsicle is better than the toothpick
š
Real
I never thought of the powersword as a popsicle
I am new to this veteran centred community - can someone be kind to give the general vibe?
Class is good/bad?
You dislike zealots or some else; etc?
Vet arguably weakest of classes but still has one good build thats H40 viable
We hit hard but if something breathes on us, we die
Tree rework needed to compensate for several dead nodes and tax points
Vet wouldn't have much relevant without VoC gold toughness spam and ammo regen
Its those two things that really make vet safe from irrelevance
You will have no build variety, but you will be a valued toughness regeneration asset to the team. You will also focus a lot on ranged weapons compared to the rest of the classes
The only class i dislike is Psyker, those are the true glass cannons and i always end up dying with them
Shout or die
its just the same issue as zealot where you're limited in higher diffs but class is still strong
Grenades spam good too but can be compensated for by other builds imo
Shout or Shoot, no inbetween
Dodge or die
gulp.
i very rarely use my gun on veteran
You're either really good or a mad man
i think of my gun the same way i think of like.
zealots throwing knives
used 2 kill elites/trappers and nothing else
If Adam Jensen says so I believe it š«”
But, his guns have decent cleave, something he struggles with 
That's the one exception, i barely use it cause i keep messing up the special button timing
Yeah, that's fair tbh
u can hold block while u do it its not that bad
Being a supportive class is very important in the team game and no variety in build isnāt a problem for me š
Well, I play mostly psyker and I find the class both fun and good to play while having a lot of success so it is close to home
Playing vet means being the guy in the corner saying
"They don't know me saying 'The guard never surrenders' over and over was what helped us clutch, trust"
Okay that just makes the power sword insane, I had no idea you could do that
same ^
Kinda nuts
everything about the ps is pretty crazy ,,
shreds crushers/maulers alongside having really strong horde damage
Time to pull the comically large popsicle, i'm tired of playing zealot for today
Vet is main character syndrome
No, that's arbites now
That's plot armour
This will be always true for the humble infantry - I play guard on table top and my models shouting to each other makes them more dangerous them space marines š
Nah
The main character succeeds with the power of freindship
Arbites is the midseason edgy rival
nah that's either arbites or zealot
Zealot literally thrives thanks to his sheer belief.
vets always felt like the easiest class to clutch with from personal experience ..
Sure...
Zealot with Undying
This is not true
maybe he's just a weirdo that's good with vet but sucks with other classes
Maybe.
How is that even possible
Depends on your definition of clutch
If you mean picking people up, sure, shout kinda does that for free because of its stagger
However doing a mission section solo? Absolutely not
With infiltrate, maybe?
Even then
Fair
Veteran even though I main it I notice is probably the hardest next to Psyker mainly cause you lack things that are genuine get out of jails outside of VOC spam
You tend to need to slowly move forward unlike with Zealot, Arby, Ogryn where you can be more reckless and charge forward
shredder feels like a get out of jail too ..
Well I mean itās just nade spam and itās the only insane option of Veteran even though Kraks are nice
yurp
Veterans are the Marines of the Darktide community.
Crayon Eaters.
Iam sorry.. what?
Marines are unintelligent, and have jokes about eating crayons. I'm saying that Veterans are similar. (Not in the same way)
I guess that is something i just don't understand.
i need a kill tag on kraks so badly
4k damage but that falls off in havoc exponentially against crushers
As in like
Havoc 1-20 should be easy right
Depends on the player.
The poxwalker diving in front of the Krak to make it wasted
i just throw it over the horde
bound to home in on a carapace enemy
FOR CREEEEEEEEED
What.. the..fuck?
Turret gunner.
Vet voicelines are peak
BAAAAAH.
loose cannon best vet fosho
edgelord vet
Zealot
Zealot thrives having all aggro
Same with psyker
And Arby
Post him saying YEEEEEEEHAAAAAW
It's not as safe though. But yeah if you get a handle on the power sword, across the board, it's better in raw damage.
It is
Hello shovel
But the reason so many run the ds plasma combo for is because its just... Safe and gets results.
Ps over ds
Like, results it shouldn't get for how easy it is.
You can charge the sword while blocking right
Also hi.
The one poxwalker that hits me through my charged combo, immediately snowballing the entire situation.
That's honestly the biggest problem with it
If Fatshark just fixed that, power sword across the board would just be better
Which, is funny because I'm fairly certain they said they did fix that.
I guess that's a good point
Yeah like, if the sword actually did anything without it being charged or it didn't get deactivated for the smallest reasons, then my opinion on that would change. But a good player will 100% get more milage out of the power sword for sure.
But even a good player can run into a complication because it takes literally, one attack while you're in a heated situation and suddenly you can't kill a god damn thing in that split second and that matters a lot sometimes.
It's actively gotten me killed before.
Couldnāt be me

Ah yeah because you never get hit, ever, under any circumstance, in a Havoc 40.
Look that is just not how things work out sometimes.
Havoc 40 looks and sounds like C & B torture
My dopamine receptors are chalked after playing it enough.
That being said.
I absolutely refuse to play it right now with blight in the modifier rotation.
That shit just needs to get axed out of the game entirely.
Literally one of the worst things Fatshark has done with Havoc. Didn't work when it was first implemented and was part of the reason that people found Havoc 1.0 to be so unfun, and somehow, not only did they put it back in but neglected to realize that Rampaging enemies overrides it, meaning you can't tell which enemies are gonna splatter in a green goop.
It is. Baffling to me that they managed that.
Hall of famer
Iād do it on zealot
I think I did a no hit 40 solely to spite bumner when I was playing with Ainz
Wif tac axe
Probably. But you're like. 0.1% of the player base.
He betted on me deranking under 30
I am?
And I didnāt
(I hit Clearance 40 so now I can just fuck around in Havoc)
Iām no longer abysmal dogshit
Yeah but are you playing BF6
Look. If you're pulling numbers like that, over everyone else, you're good at the game. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Also. Real talk.
Itās funny as fuck cause like my numbers for damage tend to float 1Mil to 600K but in return I really donāt take much damage
H40
How much glass did you have to drag your ass over to win that one
Because I see everyone else did not have a good time LMAO
What it do?
I was planning on trying to get to havoc 5 today
Green enemies splatter with goop that deals direct corruption through toughness.
Like the Beast of Nurgle slime but.. somehow worse.
Little soul, let me know if i can help ya
And also everythjng around that enemy also becomes green.
Isn't there that perk that heals like 1 corruption every sec or so
Yes.
Sure
I'll run that
Yes but it still damages you.
It is good when you are already damaged
so you can take a bit of corruption damage that will get healed away
makes it bearable.
I love being punished for using melee, in a game, that heavily emphasizes the importance of melee.
Great design..
It is not being punished for using melee
I see
It is punishment for killing enemies.
Because you can't advance at a pace you would like
Because there's stuff on the ground
And when shit hits the fan, that will spiral out of control because it limits the space you can move through safely
It moreso affects you in melee combat though, since, ya know. You have to be close to fight in melee.
But in a vacuum, yes, it basically just punishes you for playing the game entirely.
Of course, melee gets hit the most.
Meaning, Fatshark. Just take it out of the game.
It's actually frustrating how bad the design of the modifier is.
No one likes it.
I like it for the base concept.
But since EVERY enemy will eventually have it, that is no fun
Yes. If it was say.
Elites
And only. Elites.
It's fine.
That's perfectly reasonable.
Similar to Rotten Armour, really.
Rotten Armour just feels like what blight was supposed to be if it was actually a good modifier.
Which brings me to wonder
Maybe.
Why didn't they just put rotten Armour in?
Reasons.
They did that with inferno. That's actually fun to play in havoc
Why does the armor rot
They need to get new armor
Its nurglite armour.
Don't try to understand it.
LOL
What is important to know is that it is still Carapace Armour Type.
And not, somehow, Infested.
