Carapace Elites

hybrid plover
#

since power sword is legit one of the best options vet has for boss killing

tame lodge
#

That could work

#

Try powering it up

hybrid plover
#

straight up can be top of the chain in boss damage with power sword if you know what you're doing

uncut bluff
blissful stump
#

Whats what the bolters for

tame lodge
#

Mainly Boss and Carapace spam

tame lodge
#

You can alternatively play it as a dmr

#

But that play style fell off

uncut bluff
#

Ok, I’ll try that out later once I can afford a decent one

hybrid plover
#

and in a lot of cases, you'll be doing that anyway since the main mk people use is mk6 because the block push light combo is one of the best movesets in the game for dealing with carapace and unyielding enemies

uncut bluff
#

Fair

hybrid plover
#

but also, shovel supremacy

uncut bluff
#

Understandable it is a jack of all trades

tall torrent
#

shouldn't DH despawn if activated in last man standing (not havoc)?

#

or did they change that

hybrid plover
#

it should

#

Unless they did.

#

Fellas, do you think a double barrel shotgun build will work out better on Zealot or Vet for Havoc? I have a vet build with pretty good results but I wanna know which class can utilize double barrel better ultimately

hybrid plover
#

Vet

#

Because of weapon specialist

fallow escarp
#

Oh dang i've been running mark target for unyielding one shots

hybrid plover
#

You just have to keep in mind that you need to be up close and personal at all times so it's a risky gambit to use it

fallow escarp
#

Would you recommend executioners stance?

hybrid plover
hollow ibex
#

nah just VOC or infil + weapon specialist

#

the keystone is what really matters

#

weapon specialist, and the always prepare subnode

#

makes the weapon sing

hybrid plover
#

manstopper and flechette, and take a melee with uncanny

hollow ibex
#

kill 3 guys in melee, get a free reload and crit, fire one shot

hybrid plover
grand perch
#

Agile engagement absolutely superb in that combo too, try to get it

hollow ibex
hybrid plover
fallow escarp
#

yeah ive been running agile engagement with mark target but man i had no idea weapon specialist was cool like that

#

i am for sure adjusting my build

hybrid plover
fallow escarp
#

Honestly tried it once on launch and didn't enjoy it

hybrid plover
#

since they're the weapons you want to lean on your melee more for

hybrid plover
#

and it also really helps out vet's melee proficiency

fallow escarp
#

Any preferable melee weapon with this silly build?

hollow ibex
#

psword is my preferred as usual

#

or rashad

#

because a swing or two will net you a guaranteed crit

hybrid plover
#

Shovel

hollow ibex
#

on the shotgun

hybrid plover
#

I'm not even trolling on this one

hollow ibex
#

hope your teammates brought something that can fight bosses

hybrid plover
#

Uncanny and skullcrusher with double barrel prompts actually insane results

fallow escarp
hollow ibex
#

cuz you'll have like 500 boss dps

hollow ibex
fallow escarp
#

i have genuinely never used a combat axe before

hybrid plover
#

you have a double barrel

#

do you understand how much damage that can do to a boss on a crit double shot

#

it's crazy strong after they buffed it

#

especially since if you shout and stagger, that procs skullcrusher, meaning nearly double damage for 5s

hollow ibex
#

you can't even proc sc on boss without blitz or ult

#

with sc it's like what, 4k damage on double shot, on headshot, against a boss with 60k hp?

covert fable
tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

it's not a big buff by any means, but combined with a build meant to get good burst damage, it actually holds up decently well. also, this is the one case where i'd actually be recommending kraks since honestly, using the double barrel like this actually gives more incentive to have them

#

you already have a means to apply bleed to a ton of targets, and really quickly

fallow escarp
#

i love the build thanks fellas

tall torrent
#

just a little above 4k for crit-weakspot on doubleshot for unyielding

spare jolt
#

power swrd special cancels after a hit taken right?

tall torrent
#

it should only deactivate if u get hit while u hit smth

#

which I've reported as a bug and remains unfixed

spare jolt
#

ah thats it

#

sorry im discussing with someone

#

and i couldnt remember

#

which condition it cancels

hybrid plover
#

good to know

#

because they said they fixed that

spare jolt
#

yup its here since forever

hybrid plover
spare jolt
#

they acknowledged it on forums tho

hybrid plover
#

but in fatshark's spaghetti code, they must have reintroduced it

hybrid plover
tall torrent
hybrid plover
tall torrent
#

but they did not fix the "getting hit while hitting smth" part

hybrid plover
#

yeah, i think that it was just like that before. not that it was necessarily a bug. but people clearly thought that was stupid, and it is

#

so they "fixed" it

spare jolt
#

fs "fixes" a lot of things

hybrid plover
#

i didn't use the power sword enough to know whether the getting hit while hitting something part was still present after that patch or if it was just reintroduced somehow though

#

since it's been a while since that patch came out

tall torrent
#

that patch is infamous

#

7 veteran changes

#

all 7 missed the mark

#

very peak design fatshark

hybrid plover
#

are we really surprised

tall torrent
#

well

hybrid plover
#

this is just typical fatshark q&a at this point

tall torrent
#

they did say there'd be smth for veteran this year

#

I just did not expect that to be

#

7 changes that all missed the mark

  • arbites DLC to buy
hybrid plover
#

"new weapon"

#

where?

#

where is it fatshark

tall torrent
#

also

#

dog still incredibly buggy

#

it's the buggiest thing in this game yet

hybrid plover
#

can i make a hot take

#

i know one of the big appeals of the class is the dog

#

but uh

tall torrent
#

dog can aggro DH and pull it onto you

#

just lost a match because game trolled

#

and randomly popped a DH

hybrid plover
#

yeah which brings me to my point

#

i dont even think they should have introduced the dog

#

like at all

#

not necessarily because it's not a good idea

#

but fatshark with how many problems they deal with regarding darktide and its stability and bugs already, having what is essentially a 5th npc ally was going to cause a new myriad of issues

#

and it has

#

and still is

#

that short period of time when the game was quite literally unplayable because of bleed dog

#

god that was a rough time

#

well not literally but pretty much since everything would just, die before it could be interacted with

tall torrent
#

but holy shit it's the buggiest thing ever

hybrid plover
#

yeah like, i like the idea but i already had a bad feeling it was going to be an issue to have in the game

#

and it is

#

the class is already busted enough without it anyway

#

but, money

tall torrent
#

I like the variety it brings

#

I don't rly have big complaints abt it outside the bugs

hybrid plover
#

i guess i wouldn't mind it

#

if it wasn't fatshark, is really the base of my point

#

it's a great idea in theory

#

but fatshark unfortunately has this track record of breaking something, fixing it only to break something again and repeat the cycle

#

i wish i didn't have to be pessimistic about it but adding the dog was going to cause problems and i worry they're not really going to be able to fully fix said problems without introducing new ones over and over again

covert fable
#

And then it came back

grand perch
#

They do that sometimes

#

I don't like the dog because I don't like pet classeschadgryn
Lone wolf only

dapper juniper
#

I find it hilarious Lone Wolf has no Penances related.

tall torrent
#

does EO work correctly without dog?

grand perch
#

Don't think it does but who cares forceful4life

hybrid plover
#

I'm just

#

Actually shocked it's taken this long for them to fix EO

#

After someone verbatim said they internally fixed it

#

Like, that's almost insulting

mortal aspen
#

still on vacation

hybrid plover
#

Someone mentioned it being internally fixed like a few days before that too

#

Like, could they seriously have not made a quick hot fix before going on vacation?

#

They do deserve their vacation but uh, releasing a new class people paid for and then leaving a chunk of the skill tree unusable is uh

#

Kind of a bad call.

shy parcel
#

Because things like to break for no reason

#

And they don’t want to push an update that might explode the game before their vacation

hybrid plover
#

Well yeah. I get that.

#

But then why even mention that it was fixed? Hell just saying "we're working on it" would have sufficed better than what actually happened.

#

I get the bad feeling who ever put that notice out genuinely thought there would be a hot fix before the vacation and it just fell through.

#

And it looks worse that way, unfortunately.

Hello everyone,

#

Quick question: what is the dump stat for the Recon lasgun, and is infernus worth to use it? I am currently using dundum and headhunter

tall torrent
south spindle
#

Wait wut

#

Headhunter is very worth it

copper mango
#

Headhunter is not worth to use it? But why? Isnt crits the priority??

tall torrent
south spindle
#

Headhunter is why you dump collateral, so its easier to hit heads and profit from infinite ammo

tall torrent
#

U don’t need headhunter for that

#

Just
Reciprocity + 5% crit chance node

steep flower
tall torrent
#

Usually enough

steep flower
tall torrent
#

Collateral is not relevant because by the time enough shots accumulate to finally reach any notable stagger pool the target is close to dead anyway

steep flower
south spindle
#

You're not trying to avoid notable stagger by dumping it, you're doing it to avoid constant flinching/excessive suppression

tall torrent
tall torrent
steep flower
tall torrent
#

It’s just not that impressive

south spindle
#

It also applies the DoT faster, which is desirable in many situations

copper mango
#

So... Dundum + infernus for blessing, and collateral or mobility for dump stat ( or i can assume it can be 70 for each)

tall torrent
#

Because of recon’s crit string property, you have a higher crit rate than the crit chance suggests

steep flower
steep flower
south spindle
#

Yep

#

DumDum/Infernus is more a Laspistol combo imo

#

Both are solid

#

If you can feel an 0.001 m dodge increase, I'll be surprised.

tall torrent
#

The jump in sprint bonus from 60 to 80 mobility on this gun is pretty good, 0.2m/s
and u get faster aim walk speed (it’s affected but not mentioned)

#

Collateral is mega inconsistent for 2 main reasons

#
  1. You need to put so many shots into the specific enemy in a specific animation before that animation completes for it to stagger and this is just incredibly niche
#
  1. Stagger also scales ADM based on ranged falloff and recon has really short damage internals
south spindle
#

Collateral also effects suppression, its not just stagger

#

Which is where it can get annoying

tall torrent
#

So it’s more like
Shoot a specific enemy a lot of times while they’re doing a specific animation, and shoot enough times before they finish that animation without killing them, and be within a specific range interval to make sure the stagger works

unreal nova
#

Point is, it rarely gets to the point one will notice.

tall torrent
#

That’s some real dedication compared to just running faster

steep flower
tall torrent
#

That’s almost a full second

steep flower
tall torrent
#

You have to start shooting at a fairly specific time for it to be able to actually deny a bomber throw

#

If the damage doesn’t outright kill

copper mango
#

Guys and what about perks? In the recon lasgun? I am currently using unyielding and maniacs

tall torrent
steep flower
tall torrent
#

If ur not gonna shoot at it continuously to reach that 1 super specific and niche stagger breakpoint what’s collateral for

#

The suppression difference is extremely minor

steep flower
copper mango
unreal nova
#

This is like def vs power output on the smaul and shield, isn't it?

steep flower
steep flower
tall torrent
unreal nova
#

Depends on how you use it.

tall torrent
#

This doesn’t factor into crits potentially just making the kill happen sooner

#

Or damage buffs just making u kill sooner

(The bomber is absolutely gonna die before it throws the bomb)

#

Willy is building for a 0.0001% chance event

unreal nova
tall torrent
#

Then saying infernus so u can stop shooting

tall torrent
#

The chance of the event ur looking for is just

#

Abysmally minimal

steep flower
south spindle
tall torrent
#

But running 0.2m/s faster pretty much always makes a difference

#

Esp considering the +5% move speed bonus

#

U can outrun a lot more things

#

It’s also very significantly faster run speed than most melee weapons

#

Even if u take those melee weapons to 80% mobility, which u won’t most of the time

steep flower
south spindle
tall torrent
#

Laspistol +0.8-0.89

#

Recon at 80% mobility is +0.6

steep flower
tall torrent
#

At 60% is +0.4

#

Given collat is a nothingburger 99.9999% the time on this gun

#

Collat dump is usually better

sly orchid
#

Collat is stagger power right?

austere mica
#

Mobility dump for the sick bulwark open breakpoint

steep flower
tall torrent
south spindle
tall torrent
#

It’s not like where if u go 80% collat u can suddenly break rager combo

#

It’s not like if u go 80% collat u can insta stop flamer atk

south spindle
tall torrent
#

But it doesn’t

#

It’s not like u can stagger lock specialists at range with this gun

#

Because u drop to minimum damage after 20m

#

And falloff starts at just 10m

#

As for headhunter

It’s rly just because it keeps resetting whenever u crit

#

If u have actually decent reciprocity uptime by being in melee or dodging shotgunner/ranged mob attacks

south spindle
#

Yes, but also due to crit strings its stacked back up again essentially for free

tall torrent
#

Full reciprocity + crit talent + crit perk

south spindle
#

And so the cycle repeats

tall torrent
#

Is ~59% practical crit rate

#

After the calculations

#

And, headhunter is kind of just
Not the most consistent because even at 60% collat u will still suppress gunners given enough shots

steep flower
steep flower
tall torrent
#

The ammo save aspect of it is not as attractive enough to me personally because I don’t tape down m1 with this gun in the first place

#

And it normally already maxes infernus pretty fast with reciprocity

steep flower
tall torrent
#

And recon finesse scaling is not that impressive

#

Plus sustained automatic fire suppresses ranged enemies making them harder to hit headshots with

#

And this gun staggers no human specialists 99.9999% the time who’re actually moving

#

It’s not that impressive compared to just 30%Ndmg

tall torrent
#

Most melee weapons are +0.09~0.27

#

Compare that with a +0.6 and the difference is pretty real

#

The only other normal gun that usually gets +0.6 is boltpistol (and a reload speed dump revolver)

#

U could get same run speed with combat shotgun but that means dumping stability which affects pellet spread accuracy

south spindle
#

Ofc its not, but its pretty normal to pair a low mobility option with a high mobility option, anyway I was making a joke because Psword is treated like the second coming of jesus

tall torrent
#

Power sword is kinda funny because an optimal setup simultaneously has better mobility than most melee weapons and worse mobility than most melee weapons

#

U run faster than most melee weapons while using less stamina

But ur dodges are a bit shorter and u only get 4

tall torrent
#

Power sword dodges being bad is massively overstated tho

#

It’s 2.2m on 80% mobility optimal stats

#

Which is better than every single arb melee besides tac axe

#

Substantially better than force greatsword too

south spindle
#

Force Greatsword basically requires Anticipation to not feel like shit

steep flower
tall torrent
#

Both psyker and arb have 2m dodge distance which weapons scale from

#

So a -12% dodge distance melee on veteran is 2.5x0.88=2.2m

#

But a smaller percentage loss on psyker, like force greatsword, is 2x0.93=1.86m

steep flower
#

Or am I missing smth

tall torrent
#

I don’t think psyker actually has -12% dodge distance melee weapons?

tall torrent
#

Also relic blade is 2.15m at 60% mobility

#

Yea it’s not as bad as people think

steep flower
tall torrent
#

Most melee weapons are like 2.52m dodge

steep flower
#

In practice

tall torrent
#

So the difference is not that big, usually

steep flower
#

Outside of buffs; just pure weapon

tall torrent
#

3.33m at 60% mobility

steep flower
tall torrent
#

This is almost 2x of force greatsword’s dodge distance

steep flower

Knife is 3m override, +11%

"We fixed Order but broke Warrant"

Frankly if they messed up Forceful I would be happier

I like the rotation with Warrant

I literally told you how it was broken lol

Is it an actual thing they broke or changed it and wanted to say it was broken?

what are you on about

# midnight wyvern what are you on about

Basically what Bush is saying is that is it a unintended broken thing cause of Fatshark being Fatshark, OR is it something they fully intended and trying to say otherwise, at least how I am parsing it

midnight wyvern
#

its fatshark being fatshark

calm shard
midnight wyvern
#

they changed how EO and dog damage was buffed, it was broken because they stopped EO damage buffs being applied to the dog, which they managed to disable it working for the person

calm shard
#

not only that but they've had a fix since before they went on vacation

#

and just didn't deploy the hotfix before going on said vacation

midnight wyvern
#

its confirmed, been tested 900 times

#

EO only proccing on dog kills?

buoyant pewter
midnight wyvern
#

acknowledged on the forums like 1-2 days after it was broken and said they'd "already fixed it internally"

calm shard
#

Yeah because their dev team is on mandatory holiday

#

because they live in a nation that believes in worker's rights

#

more's the pity for us the consumers

buoyant pewter
#

Yep, and I am quite happy they have it

I was planning on progressing havoc naturally and boom we skipped to 40

sonic kayak
#

It's the natural progression, don't worry

covert fable
#

It's fun tho

sonic kayak
#

The biggest issue I feel is that jump to 30 and then level past 30 getting incrementally harder

#

Most people can't last in a 30 let alone anything higher

covert fable
#

I'm pretty sure I went from rank 28 to 20 now 😂

covert fable
#

Unless it has blight

sonic kayak
#

That's the start of Fading Light 2 iirc

hybrid plover
#

What's annoying about that 40 is that we really are just getting bottlenecked by bad spawns.

sonic kayak
#

I finished Ascension Riser earlier

#

We got ambushed by shotgunners and gunners in that same spot as last time

midnight wyvern
#

lol

sonic kayak
#

This time though? I was prepared with smokes chadgryn

hybrid plover
#

First it was the constant boss spam at the big gate at the beginning along with the massive gunner line. And then that one time we got decently far and at the cross to the ramp, the game truly decided to throw the perfect spawn at us to screw the entire run.

#

I slide dodged and the instant I was out the frame and I got melted by guns from three directions. That shit was brutal.

sonic kayak
#

That nearly caught us offguard earlier too

#

But again, smokes chad

#

Hell I even got complimented on the build by 2 people

Do you know I was getting shot through geometry when I was Ogryn?

genuinely horrible

#

Eah well now we have blight :]

sonic kayak
#

The second medicae, next to the stairs, the one where you drop down to move the power cells

#

I had shooters hitting me through that little roof

hybrid plover
#

The annoying thing about that last try is that I didn't get engaged at all by those gunners in the back until we decided to deal with the patrol in the front.

covert fable
#

I might just avoid havoc today

#

I need to level up masteries

hybrid plover
#

It's like they just knew to spawn as soon as we attempted to progress.

#

Because I'm 100% certain they weren't there until that moment. I was checking behind us like a hawk lmao

sonic kayak
#

We all were lmao

#

We kept looking at each other and around us

Am i tweakimg or does not grenade tinkerer boost the shredder frag grenades

If you remember we were also reluctant to engage that patrol in front too

Finally when we start.

But not when I'm getting canceled out of swapping my weapons

tame lodge
faint beacon
#

you tend to have to put more work in but it feels good when you're doing better than others

calm shard
#

You can have absurd damage on vet if you play a glass cannon build with exe

#

But then you aren't providing the support that veteran is known for

#

And other people are going to get touchy about that

#

Especially if you fuck up

I mean I feel that. I enjoyed the grenade build with the team buffs. It was an enjoyable class none the less.

Shovel is just lukewarm overall when you aren't running the 3 good blessings tragically but its a fun melee

grr.....

hybrid plover

Serrated shovel is unironically goated

calm shard

I say as if I don't run the exact opposite with a no right tree exe vet lmao

hybrid plover
#

I just wish it wasn't so expensive to run

slow sky
#

but i said "no i really want better stamina"

calm shard
#

I do keep a very similar build in my back pocket for if I'm not the only vet in a match tho

slow sky
#

so they went here

calm shard
#

kraks for bulwarks I assume

slow sky
#

or just blobs of armor

calm shard
#

yeah

slow sky
#

can deal with it without kraks tho

calm shard
#

yeah

slow sky
#

both are an added bonus

#

the biggest reason

calm shard
#

just doing the shovel combo into them can be a pain

slow sky
#

is pathing

faint beacon
#

Might try something like this with Serrated Shovel

calm shard
#

I mean with pathing like that I would take smokes instead

#

because I love smokes

slow sky
#

youd save 1 point

faint beacon
#

Sitting here thinking what I should run Gun wise

slow sky
#

and i personally never use smokes

#

like i as a person would never think to use them ever

#

in any situation

#

which is why i never take them

hybrid plover
faint beacon
#

I ironically enough

#

barely use them for myself

#

anymore

midnight wyvern
#

yeah I made a build earlier and was like

#

damn should I be using these smokes

faint beacon
#

I use them more for more teammates at this point

calm shard
midnight wyvern
#

cuz im just so used to going to cover, shooting the thing

calm shard
#

they're still okay in aurics

midnight wyvern
#

and being used to not having a shield from a psyker

calm shard
#

but havoc is where smokes are the real run savers

hybrid plover
#

Or if you want to take the left node off of focus target cuz it isn't entirely necessary, you could run hot Shot Helbore to make the shovel cleave way more

faint beacon
slow sky
#

i dont think i can run this build in havoc
the lack of the ammo talent and survivalist makes this only feasable in auric and below

calm shard
#

yeah obv

hybrid plover
#

Works wonders for serrated shovel

slow sky
#

the ammo reductions would hurt too much

midnight wyvern
#

I am curious on what I should run

hybrid plover
calm shard
#

DB can run on just survivalist ammo in havocs in my experience

midnight wyvern
#

just entire talent tree and weapon lmao, been using bolter DH killing build for so long

slow sky
# calm shard yeah obv

you can totally alter it to make it work in havoc tho
combine has ran circles around me when i was a fucking purg psyker with shovel db before serrated changes so its not like its not able to fuck
i just either shoot too much or too little to make it work in that kind of environment

calm shard
#

I run a similar WS build I just use Zarona combat shotty instead

#

special shell is close enough to DB horde clear

#

but I can actually pelt away at things at range

#

and use it for boss damage

midnight wyvern
#

is stability dump stat on hellbore?

hybrid plover
#

Yes.

#

Unfortunately.

#

Every other stat has an impact on damage numbers.

ngl; if you use shock trooper; ammo dump might be the way to go

OK NOW; the 80 stability DOES make a noticeable difference even for mouse & keyboard; the weapon does not 'jump' as much after each shot

all it requires is some field testing

and compare how it feels in a real game

Oh the days when I absolutely sucked at this game.

Honestly the magical thing about Darktide.

Is why I kind of miss sucking at it.

Because it's a game that feels immensely rewarding to get better at.

There is no game other than the tide games where your investment in it will provide as much return in pure dopamine imho
