Carapace Elites
wait, no unyielding?
it's usually carapace/elite and unyielding
since power sword is legit one of the best options vet has for boss killing
straight up can be top of the chain in boss damage with power sword if you know what you're doing
Still its like”hol up I gotta crank up my sword rq” before stabbing an elite
Whats what the bolters for
Mainly Boss and Carapace spam
block cancel the charge
I’m on Xbox so no clue how to do that unless you literally block as soon as you charge it
yes. that is literally what you do
Ok, I’ll try that out later once I can afford a decent one
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
Fair
but also, shovel supremacy
Understandable it is a jack of all trades
shouldn't DH despawn if activated in last man standing (not havoc)?
or did they change that
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
Oh dang i've been running mark target for unyielding one shots
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
Would you recommend executioners stance?
nope
nah just VOC or infil + weapon specialist
the keystone is what really matters
weapon specialist, and the always prepare subnode
makes the weapon sing
manstopper and flechette, and take a melee with uncanny
kill 3 guys in melee, get a free reload and crit, fire one shot
not even three
Agile engagement absolutely superb in that combo too, try to get it
3 for the guaranteed crit
o fair
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
weapon specialist is extremely good for the shotguns in general
Honestly tried it once on launch and didn't enjoy it
yeah it might be ok
since they're the weapons you want to lean on your melee more for
and it also really helps out vet's melee proficiency
Any preferable melee weapon with this silly build?
psword is my preferred as usual
or rashad
because a swing or two will net you a guaranteed crit
Shovel
on the shotgun
I'm not even trolling on this one
hope your teammates brought something that can fight bosses
Uncanny and skullcrusher with double barrel prompts actually insane results
Whats rashad?
cuz you'll have like 500 boss dps
i have genuinely never used a combat axe before
wait what
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
yeah i don't think so
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?
Funny vet name
what buff
Battle of Tertium update increased the adm against unyielding specifically
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
i love the build thanks fellas
it barely matters
just a little above 4k for crit-weakspot on doubleshot for unyielding
power swrd special cancels after a hit taken right?
no
it should only deactivate if u get hit while u hit smth
which I've reported as a bug and remains unfixed
ah thats it
sorry im discussing with someone
and i couldnt remember
which condition it cancels
so that is a bug then
good to know
because they said they fixed that
yup its here since forever
they specifically said in a patch note that they changed the way power sword works so i believe it wasn't a bug at first.
they acknowledged it on forums tho
but in fatshark's spaghetti code, they must have reintroduced it
yeah, because they know that shouldn't be happening
idk, I think it is
i would be inclined to believe it is
what they fixed was getting hit (when not attacking)
but they did not fix the "getting hit while hitting smth" part
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
fs "fixes" a lot of things
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
that patch is infamous
7 veteran changes
all 7 missed the mark
very peak design fatshark
are we really surprised
well
this is just typical fatshark q&a at this point
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
can i make a hot take
i know one of the big appeals of the class is the dog
but uh
dog can aggro DH and pull it onto you
just lost a match because game trolled
and randomly popped a DH
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
the dog as an idea is cool
but holy shit it's the buggiest thing ever
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
I like the variety it brings
I don't rly have big complaints abt it outside the bugs
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
I remember seeing the arby dog yeet itself off the map
And then it came back
They do that sometimes
I don't like the dog because I don't like pet classes
Lone wolf only
I find it hilarious Lone Wolf has no Penances related.
does EO work correctly without dog?
Don't think it does but who cares forceful4life
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
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.
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
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.
is there a collection of images of all the cosmetics in this game somewhere?
It would if it was working properly but since only dog kills count atm, it's not very useful outside of the wall hacks
unfortunate
Game Wiki try that
I do. How it interacts with bursters
Push it right back at you after you've pushed it because Fatshark didnt make it so Arbs can't set the dog on bursters
They just said August, so it could be the 31st 
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
Collateral
Yes
Use dum dum + infernus/deathspitter
Headhunter not worth on this gun
Headhunter is not worth to use it? But why? Isnt crits the priority??
On this gun specifically not that worth it
Headhunter is why you dump collateral, so its easier to hit heads and profit from infinite ammo
Majority of ppl will say its collateral but imo its mobility due to stagger potential on bombers in havoc (crit headshots & infernus DoT eventually staggers them)
Infernus is always picked, majority of ppl will pick dumdum second but headhunter is also very solid (it is very worth it for procking infernus & shock trooper talent for better ammo economy)
Usually enough
Path you don’t even use recon that much you follow the numbers purely on this one 
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
But in practice it may interrupt already winding up bomber and stop the throw (especially the tox one)
You're not trying to avoid notable stagger by dumping it, you're doing it to avoid constant flinching/excessive suppression
Headhunter is like a 5% crit rate increase for this gun it’s rly just not that impressive
It’s not 25% extra crit chance
It’s +0-25% crit chance that keeps resetting itself whenever u crit
Way too niche and specific to be worth considering most of the time
Ofc but its extra and it adds up in the long run; all you have to do is click heads and thats like basic for any FPS
Yea it’s like 5% extra crit rate for clicking head lol
It’s just not that impressive
It also applies the DoT faster, which is desirable in many situations
So... Dundum + infernus for blessing, and collateral or mobility for dump stat ( or i can assume it can be 70 for each)
Because of recon’s crit string property, you have a higher crit rate than the crit chance suggests
Mobility gives nothing that substantial either; sprint speed ain’t that hot, no more dodges & moving spread can be easily countered by not holding down the trigger all the time
Exacly; you apply 12 stacks and move to another target
Recon too but its a preference
Both are solid
I am confused then
TLDR If u have a decent time keeping reciprocity stacks, headhunter doesn’t rly matter for this gun
Try both dumdum & headhunter; see which one clicks more with your playstyle/build 
if
Got it
Lemme know later if you wanna how it went 
As someone with both, barely makes a diff.
You're benifiting from the extra crit chance regardless, only one is more conditional than the other, headhunter just requires you to shoot stuff, reci' requires enemies to dodge. Its not a huge thing, but conditional bonus vs doing the bare minimum
If you can feel an 0.001 m dodge increase, I'll be surprised.
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
- 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
- Stagger also scales ADM based on ranged falloff and recon has really short damage internals
Collateral also effects suppression, its not just stagger
Which is where it can get annoying
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
Point is, it rarely gets to the point one will notice.
That’s some real dedication compared to just running faster
Enemy won’t wait for you to aim & shoot it; thats why being able to interrupt one of the most op enemies in the game is good (you stated that tox bombers were one of the most dangerous yourself)
Interrupt after like what, 16+ shots?
That’s almost a full second
Thats why infernus is taken; you hop on another target when you know that one is cooked… literally
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
Guys and what about perks? In the recon lasgun? I am currently using unyielding and maniacs
So what’s the supposed stagger bonus even for lol
Alot can happen withing 1 second and you know it mah guy
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
Interrupting throwing animation of one of the most hated enemy in the game so it won’t CC you 
Maybe flak and maniacs or Flak + crit?
This is like def vs power output on the smaul and shield, isn't it?
Its either flak or unyielding + crit chance
Considering the topic; i think yes 
So u take max collat to be able to 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
That’s the only situation where max collateral matters
Depends on how you use it.
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)
And its better than sprint speed 
Exactly so collat is pointless lol
Willy is building for a 0.0001% chance event
Because 3 ppl shot at it, lul.
Then saying infernus so u can stop shooting
Nah it’s not
The chance of the event ur looking for is just
Abysmally minimal
Tbh such situations happened often enough to be noticed; otherwise i would not yap
Meanwhile the Arb' is 100ft away beating on a single poxwalker whilst yelling "stop resisting!"

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
Seems about right.
Is las pistol only faster?
This is going to turn into a justification for running powersword in a second isnt it 
Yes lol
Laspistol +0.8-0.89
Recon at 80% mobility is +0.6
Guessed correctly i did 
At 60% is +0.4
Given collat is a nothingburger 99.9999% the time on this gun
Collat dump is usually better
Collat is stagger power right?
Mobility dump for the sick bulwark open breakpoint
I prefer to face my enemies rather than running away from them 
Stagger & suppression
Neither change much within 60-80% parameters
We all do until the slamwich happens and you're forced into kiting for 5 minutes ¬.¬
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
Skill check it is 
Skill check/AoE check, you decide 
Both 
If it did actually do this I’d agree with max collat
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
Yes, but also due to crit strings its stacked back up again essentially for free
Full reciprocity + crit talent + crit perk
And so the cycle repeats
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
You really should try it in at least a couple of games rather than holding on to numbers man; also; combine them and you will beam everything for free!
Options are only limited by ones unwillingness to test them 
I tried it before
Try it again; i know you prefer more face first playstyle but its an option 
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
I don’t tape m1 either; i shoot in bursts
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
Nah even power sword at 80% mobility is nowhere as fast as recon
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
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
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
Thats why i shoot in bursts
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
Force Greatsword basically requires Anticipation to not feel like shit
My dumping on FGS was justified all along

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
Shouldn’t it be 2.0x0,88?
Or am I missing smth
FGS optimal stats is -7% dodge distance
I don’t think psyker actually has -12% dodge distance melee weapons?
Nope
And its still dogwater at dodges in general 
Most melee weapons are like 2.52m dodge
In practice
So the difference is not that big, usually
So which one is the most distance? Knife? DS?
Outside of buffs; just pure weapon
Highest is knife
3.33m at 60% mobility
Expected
This is almost 2x of force greatsword’s dodge distance
And don’t forget WS buff 
Even better than meme pen dump ds5?
Yea
Knife is 3m override, +11%
DS5 is 2.75m override, +15%
Ah, explains what I feel then.
With weapon specialist knife goes to 3.63m
Lowest I think is arb’s maul&shield
80% defences is -11.25%?
1.775m
Is why I quick swap to bistol to dodge at times.
Boltpistol among the worst designed weapons in the game
Misses bps by like 6-10 damage.
whys that?
Oh god, so it’s not just me
Huh?
Care to elaborate?
Very fun to watch at times. Just gotta shoot 2-3 times.

Exe mk3 at home
Nah that would be Zarona
Wonder if they’ll ever add new enemies 
They'll add that dreg mauler
But it has a corruption radius around it
Because FS has to go out of their way to ruin everything
Oh yeah
There's no dreg mauler
I just realized

I'm assuming the dreg mauler will be mostly naked
Cloaking enemies when 😎
Maybe it should have two chainaxes
Dreg mauler with a crusher/maul, part unarmored part infested hp type
Would be great
Clubs you with mutated arm with sharp teeth on it?
Nah thats too unhinged
And poxbursters
oh right right
I really want expanded hp varied enemies; i was very happy in the end when scab rager got carapace chest
For example
Or when they made scab bomber flak
Like; tox flamer fits maniac but scab flamer is flak and its obvious
Same for trapper
I guess her mask is like hard leather so it could be maniac while her torso is flak
HUMAN SKIN
HAVE YOU SEEN CHAOS MUTATIONS???
Yes ofc; we call them… LESBIANS and i am among them

That's not funny.
Maybe to you; to me lesbomancy is heretical… and hilarious

um
good mornin
another day of servin the emperor through bullets
What timezone is the swamp in?
can confirm i am the first individual
and i am in CST
very very center of america. as center as it gets
geographically
Wakes up at 11, smh
What time do you wake up
i actually woke up an hour ago
because its my day off and i felt like sleeping in
i usually wake up at 6am to terrorize the local village
skyrim guard cant explain that
What's plasmagun dump stat? Heat or charge rate?
71-72 charge, 69-68 thermal
assault chainsword good? Figured activate plus all the wide sweeps is good against hordes
If you don't care to get that dump charge
Gotcha
no
okey
Really good against unarmored horde, has a bit of trouble against heavy armor but in low difficulty doesn't matter as much
well im also using the assault chainaxe. i think i'll stick to it
as soon as you hit mixed horde it falls off
I tend to use devil claw
i find it really fun parrying certain bosses/elites
if one thing goes wrong just use the voice of the emperor to assert dominance
a bit nervous going on heresy though :c
You'll be fine, just stay with your team
why is there a finger pointing at my mesag
Father William is sharing his confirmation on the factual evidence put forth by your statement
Capt latrine?
The same
ohh
i thought they were bad but i'll give em a go around
What
Better than the lasguns (at least the standard one) in almost every way 
I'm pretty sure that infantry autogun mark 5 has fhe highest dps in the game
I might be wrong
well i just struggled automatic weapons but im about to figure this shi out
Oh
The Mk 5 is one of the most potent ranged weapons in this game
It might be the most potent
well its more of, im afraid that i'll use up all my ammo way to quickly
It's really fun to use
The only thing that limits taking it into Havoc is the ammo
You won't have ammo issues in auric
Shoot what you should and you'll be fine
Specialists are almost always a priority
IAGs, especially the Mk 5, could be dumped into elites
I think it's like one of 2 Onslaught weapons
wait im dumb
yeah i always target specialists for teams, and elite are bigger dudes right? I typically parry them for the team/take aggro and use my kraks to stagger them. no damage, just utility for my team
Gunners, ragers, maulers, armored Ogryns yes
well i kill gunners
armored ogryns i just kill
ragers and maulers are usually staggered/parried with DC and VoC
yea
PlOgryn is also, well, an Ogryn, but different story
Never played with pubs that steal every ammo even on white?
wait so the infantry autogun is literally a stereotypical high accuracy assault rifle 😐
Or just to refill 1 throwing knife?
True
The agripinaa variant is yes
Vraks is more like an SMG
Agripinaa and Vraks both have extremely high DPS into all health types (including carapace if you have enough crit)
im using the base variant now for the infantry autogun
Yeah that's the Agripinaa variant. It has the best range and damage per shot of them but slowest fire rate
2nd highest DPS of them
excuse me? did the projectile vomit originate from the hole in the wall instead of the snail?
how does something like that even happen. theres not vomit trail outside the room
focused fire is good?
It works like flamers iirc
If there is a height difference it will instantly deploy to where they are aiming
Yeah just a good general purpose keystone
Works on almost every build
kraks to stagger
and no damage

more damage is more damage
Ngl I like weapon specialist more
That shit has been driving me crazy
and thats valid, but focus target is nice
Getting hit by puke across the room and not even looking at me
For sure
it's the one thing they do
kraks don't have damage into anything
yeah lmao
Smokes on top
I kind of want to do a hellbore build with WS (maybe?) and smokes
been wanting to not use bolter
but also not plasma
Laser musket is fun with WS
have you heard of agrippa combat shotgun?
it's amazingly fun
Two shotting Reapers to the head is hilarious
I haven't touched Arby for a while
What exactly does it mean EO is broken?
only dog melee kills will proc the buffs you get from EO
rather than everything you kill that is outlined
dog dots also count
just has to be dog damage
its still good, outlines are good and you have some uptime for it
I've moved over to just using Terminus for now even though I like my wallhacks with Order XD
oh neat
but still
let me shoot things for free buffs
smh
forceful is great don't get me wrong I just want to be able to mix it up, plus the combo of working EO, castigators and agri combat shotgun was the best build ive felt in game lol
oh thats why i got Bs killed by flamers while vaulting in the past
wtf
EO was my favorite
I loved the wallhacks and extra monstrosity damage
I run Lone Wolf usually
smh now I need to use Forceful
That is genuinely disheartening
supposed to get information on when the patch will be tomorrow
They should fix it when they're back from their Summer Vacation
but its been ages for something they fixed in the first 2 days it was broken
Here's hoping nothing else breaks

EO has unironically saved me
The information of when enemies are coming is insane to me
the question is not whether they'll break something or not, it's what they will break this time
Okay fair
XD
Especially when dealing with snipers and they're peaking through a tiny crack in-between cover
id be fine with that
proceed to fix Warrant, break Forceful
Frankly if they messed up Forceful I would be happier
I like the rotation with Warrant
Has it been confirmed broken or "broken"?
No no, I mean
Is it an actual thing they broke or changed it and wanted to say it was broken?

"It's not a bug its a feature"
yeah one of the highest DPS guns in the game
Because they do that shit
what are you on about
plasma gun post rolling steel
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
its fatshark being fatshark
yes it's confirmed broken
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
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
its confirmed, been tested 900 times
You know what I'm talking about right?
EO only proccing on dog kills?
Wait...so its just SITTING there?
acknowledged on the forums like 1-2 days after it was broken and said they'd "already fixed it internally"
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
Yep, and I am quite happy they have it
I think its just more of a kick in the nads because of how slow the content is even without the holidays lol
Glad they have time off
so this is just extra ass
swear to god ADS makes 3 pox fuckers spawn behind you every single time
I keep seeing people doing a stab with the power sword and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it.
hold block then left click or right click
push attack with mk6
wait
no
hold block hold left click with the mk6 power sword
Your a god thank you
or whatever the equivalent button for block/attack is on console if you're disadvantaged
yes, hold right click then left click
I can play in a bit, finishing up a project for someone
Same I'm gonna get a fat payday after this is done
Just an FYI, all melee weapons have a special attack via this, it's called a push attack or PA
It varies on weapon and mark
Some ranged weapons also have a push attack. And others.. only a Flashlight.
Well, that's the special action
Ah you meant the push attack, right.
Thank you. I really appreciate it. Have hundreds of hours in this game and somehow had not realized that
I'm working today so I'll be in way later unfortunately.
what do you guys like to run on DS on vet?
That's fine, I'll prob be on in 4 hours
i am not winning these heresy's
just kill the enemies and don't die
Just don't die 
If you want help I can join you, but gimme a few to wrap this up
Make him do auric maelstrom
Good idea
Heresy will become easy :>
i am now winning
Then Gremlin's 27, and then straight to 40
I was planning on progressing havoc naturally and boom we skipped to 40
It's the natural progression, don't worry
It's fun tho
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
I'm pretty sure I went from rank 28 to 20 now 😂
30 can't be that bad
Unless it has blight
That's the start of Fading Light 2 iirc
What's annoying about that 40 is that we really are just getting bottlenecked by bad spawns.
I finished Ascension Riser earlier
We got ambushed by shotgunners and gunners in that same spot as last time
I can join you too, just depends where you're from to how much I'd actually be able to help
lol
This time though? I was prepared with smokes 
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.
That nearly caught us offguard earlier too
But again, smokes 
Hell I even got complimented on the build by 2 people
@narrow frost hit 'em with the vidya
"The Smoking Section"
Chainsmokers
Honestly if we're not running bubble psyker, we kinda need a smoke vet for that map
it's horrible
So many locations for guns to mow you down from afar.
Do you know I was getting shot through geometry when I was Ogryn?
genuinely horrible
Eah well now we have blight :]
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
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.
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
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
Yeah we deliberately took our time to engage that.
Finally when we start.
Immediately things went downhill.
That's the havoc grind for you.
On Ascension Riser of all maps 
HLas kinda fucks
We will beat havoc 40 one day
Recon Las fucks harder in most instantces
It does. It's just not that impactful unless you also run lethal prox on bistol
Helbore?
I've already beaten it several times
only las gun that doesn't fuck hard is the Inf Las
Together;-;
I thought about it afterwards
I should've brought my Paulgryn build 
Probably would've helped with the shooters
But whatever you build for, the game does the exact opposite of that, and when you understand that, it doesn't do that

Paulgryn

Havoc 40, 4 vets all with smoke grenades
Heavy Sword and Tactical Axe gaming
Havoc 40 Quad Vet Smokes. Home Made Vent Purge, Loyalist Friendly
both of them are 4 vets with smokes
@covert fable
Heavy Las is actually pretty good on vet
You wanna use it as a boss killer honestly
cool title lol
There are others who will be glad to help out too.
is brutal momentum or sunder better for a general use psword
or any other blessing
i already have power cycler
varies on mk
achlys
is 3 more for horde clear and 6 more for elite killing
6 is better at all
I prefer brumentum just in all cases
no, that the last game was private but that one wasn't
I remember when shovel gremlin said I’m 0.1% of the player base
ah

it doesn't
Why can't you make a normal game
maybe because u swapped characters i think
No hit havoc 40 will be attempted
im gonna whip up a build that works with bad lag
Shovel
Shovel and inf las gun
idk what in the world is going on
Was doing some duos with Crunchie and my ping just shot up
The servers have just been absolute shite in general
But when we were playing together yesterday we were fine
I mean, you and I
I mean some latency is fine
Even on my server sometimes even if the ping isn't actually going up, I can tell that suddenly the latency just spikes up
But not when I'm getting canceled out of swapping my weapons
And it's been happening for me since the update to the havoc rotation
Also truly. Have you ever felt like despite everyone saying in the numbers, something isn't good and yet you just happen to perform the best with it+
Shouldn't be hard if you spam Golden toughness
I do not understand why the shovel works so well in my hands.
your roots
Gonna be with tac axe zealot

The class just felt a little underwhelming in comparison to the others.
yeah
I mean yeah, thats just vet in general atm
you tend to have to put more work in but it feels good when you're doing better than others
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 literally just came out of a rotten armor when i was paired with 2 hyper meta arbys and a hyper meta ogryn
i top damaged
with shovel
including against the daemonhost
that someone accidentally woke then left and rejoined to get it off them and onto me
I mean I feel that. I enjoyed the grenade build with the team buffs. It was an enjoyable class none the less.
Again it feels better cause of Vets drawbacks
Especially with Hyper Meta Ogryns and Arbys
holy
how
i did the same yesterday against a rumbler spammer
Skc + Deci shovel
no this is shovel db
Recon with Onslaught
and it is uncanny shovel, i hadnt used it since serrated stopped being just for mercy killer
Shovel is just lukewarm overall when you aren't running the 3 good blessings tragically but its a fun melee
this shit fucks
Started pairing Serrated with E.Weakness on taxe and its
Addictive...
for some reason
thats an idea
Hamdol used it
what's the build
but i will stick with shovel
Im wondering if you should just run Deci + Skc
im not running e weakness on this
Serrated shovel is unironically goated
I say as if I don't run the exact opposite with a no right tree exe vet lmao
I just wish it wasn't so expensive to run
see i normally dipped into the weakspot damage
but i said "no i really want better stamina"
I do keep a very similar build in my back pocket for if I'm not the only vet in a match tho
so they went here
kraks for bulwarks I assume
or just blobs of armor
yeah
can deal with it without kraks tho
yeah
just doing the shovel combo into them can be a pain
Might try something like this with Serrated Shovel
youd save 1 point
Sitting here thinking what I should run Gun wise
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
Bolter wouldn't be a bad choice
I use them more for more teammates at this point
they're mostly good in havocs
cuz im just so used to going to cover, shooting the thing
they're still okay in aurics
and being used to not having a shield from a psyker
but havoc is where smokes are the real run savers
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
Agri Shotgun?
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
yeah obv
Works wonders for serrated shovel
the ammo reductions would hurt too much
I am curious on what I should run
Also a good choice.
DB can run on just survivalist ammo in havocs in my experience
just entire talent tree and weapon lmao, been using bolter DH killing build for so long
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
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
combine is combine tho
Yes
Yeah it was straight into the deep waters
Yup
maybe if you would be willing to discuss i could teach you 
obviously
Ammo 
despite the lag on 2 ppl & ofc personal skill it went progressively better 
thats what matters
yeah true
uh huh
Don't worry, it sounds weird but Father William just doesn't like writing essays
I guess if youre running shock troop, then ammo would be dump.
Still shocked I was even able to play the way I did through that.
180-200 ping is no joke, especially on the hamster wheel servers
tbh; nah... because ammo stat comes with ammo in the mag too...
oh yeah i know; been there - but the shovel started using shovel and it went much better

I mean yeah but shock troop does help a lot in that regard and admittedly, say you wanna run weapon specialist, the better hip fire accuracy can matter for getting a quick shot off.
yuh mah man; all that is needed is a discussion & no hissy fits 
Especially since, to be honest, the irons are the one gripe I have with Helbore.

There's just so much clutter from the gun
yup; shotgun sights on a sniper type weapon

If they maybe put a God damn riser sight on it, there would be no problem
i like the classics but this is 40k
it can be tiring... and some things are better off shown than typed
Alrighty go to bed, Pops
come to think of it; i wonder how much ammo you lose if you get 60 ammo
time to waste more coins
Why else do we get resources if not to get 10 copies of 1 weapon?
That's the spirit!
oh no; big mistake
im supposed to be the bad one in the team 😂
tbf you can handle yourself
Your positioning should be better but you can still handle yourself
Randoms can't even do that 
ok i got it & here are the results (all tested on Mk IIIa);
80 ammo; 108/636(795 Fully Loaded), 120 tin restore with FL
60 ammo: 96/552(690 Fully Loaded), 104 tin restore with FL
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
i just tried to block a crusher overhead with my recon gun
squish
quick Q, Deadshot doesnt work if no stamina right
Correct
ty bb
Everything about it is just a bit off
Welp. Time to make a new Helbore. Because I'm pretty sure the one I use is the first one I ever made when I started vet and I know the dump on that is stability.
don't
lemme test it first
save your rezources
Honestly, your one issue is that you can tend to steer off to a location by yourself without realizing it.
I have so many already.
alright; make a grey 60 ammo one & get to psykanium; shot with it & test the stability dump one after
you'll see
But that will smooth out in time. You honestly hold up pretty well for someone who's starting off.
And you understand how to make a decent build better than a lot at your point in playtime.
Also, I noticed that in havoc. It is very easy for someone who isn't experienced in Havoc to get separated from the team because it can just get really overwhelming.
yes
and yet you stayed together; just need to sharpen your skills & awareness
yeah just gotta play a lot more and practise
I'll be real. You probably fared better than I would have when I was around your playtime because I crutched real hard on stealth zealot when I first started lmaooo
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
yeah
Regardless of my gripes with the way the game is handled, there's a reason I've hit 2.7k hours in it.
jesus
Oh that's nothing.
2700 hours is a lot of hours
I know someone with a true level of over 7k
Meaning they've easily played three times my playtime.
On one class. Mind you.
Definitely not if it's Sally 
They're called Trauma.
what is the 7703?
It's a mod that basically shows your theoretical level after 30
las pistol kinda looks like a massage gun
So that person has went from 29 to 30, 7733 times.
Miscounted.
Uh.
7704 times.
I usually run that mod without the initial thirty.
.
Look this game can hook you like a drug.
For when you hit bodies without crits
Or an abusive goth girlfriend
