No. Even pen dump ds5 is shorter dodges.

#

Path tried it.

south spindle
#

Bit saucy for a public chat aint it? KEKW_ogryn

hybrid plover
unreal nova
hybrid plover
#

I honestly thought it was unrivaled in dodge distance

#

for, some reason???

unreal nova
#

But it was like 2.75+15% for ds5 vs 3.25+12% for knoife.

hybrid plover
#

that would mean ds5 is further tho

#

which is really funny honestly

unreal nova
#

Might be higher for knoife. I need to find path's post.

hybrid plover
#

yeah now i'm actually curious about this

boreal goblet
#

Meh but it really feels like knife will have what I'm missing for the recon las build; from what your saying being able to distance and kite. That was my main issues with crushers and maulers during the event I couldn't kite them all.

#

I wish infantry las was better

hybrid plover
#

it is very good for repositioning

#

and vet benefits from that a lot

unreal nova
#

3m +11% vs 2.75m +15%.

hybrid plover
#

again i made this hot take earlier and i will make it again

#

i prefer knife over dueling sword

#

if all else, it's just more fun

unreal nova
#

But tbh, if you had a normal DS dump, it is lower. It's also lower if you def dump.

#

You probably need to meme to try to beat it.

boreal goblet
#

I need to find this move tech

hybrid plover
#

just sprint and heavy

unreal nova
hybrid plover
#

that is literally all you do

unreal nova
#

Just spam it with a certain beat.

boreal goblet
#

Then I've been doing it a lot then lol

unreal nova
#

Is 100% easier on knoife than doing on ds4.

boreal goblet
#

What about crushers and maulers

#

Any tips for them with a knife? Or just barf then down like I do now

unreal nova
#

Push atk to head.

#

Or heavy as last resort.

hybrid plover
#

yeah. if lacerate, get your non weak spot hits in to proc bleed and then push attack

boreal goblet
#

I just want my heavy eviscerator from zealot

#

I want the chain sword to be good

#

Alright thanks for the info

#

Gotta go back to work

unreal nova
#

Chainsword lul. Trauma using it on psyker being brought back up.

unreal nova
#

Had BB, Crits, bubble, DD.

#

EK+chainsword.

boreal goblet
#

Oh! Before I go

#

Desperado?

final crystal
unreal nova
boreal goblet
#

I know onslaught is kinda mandatory

unreal nova
boreal goblet
unreal nova
#

Yeah, also good.

boreal goblet
unreal nova
#

You path those 2, get toughness then the aspd then WS.

boreal goblet
#

It feels like it makes a diffeence

unreal nova
boreal goblet
#

Wait is Focus target bad now?

unreal nova
#

It does increase damage, but the ammo cost for havoc will hurt.

boreal goblet
#

Ahh

unreal nova
boreal goblet
#

AHHH

unreal nova
#

It's okay otherwise if you use it to breakpoint kill.

boreal goblet
#

Anyway gotta get off my phone; in lab

unreal nova
#

Just don't ping EVERYTHING.

#

Like, don't bind ping to lmb.

hybrid plover
#

petition to get tox bombers to fuck off pls

unreal nova
hybrid plover
#

tom bradying bombs from the netherrealm

hybrid plover
#

i just got chain grabbed between two chaos spawns

#

four times

#

i was not even given a single frame to dodge

#

that's. a new one

unreal nova
hybrid plover
#

two purge psykers that folded like paper and an arbites

unreal nova
hybrid plover
#

i couldnt tell you

unreal nova
hybrid plover
#

it is not

#

it was a 3veg

unreal nova
#

Oh. Still expect one to last longer unless it's oops off map or the big fan.

sudden cedar
#

@unreal nova Arbitrator is sadly luckily not a free carry class. Even with that you can fuck up

barren cave
#

speaking of

#

isnt it time for a hotfix

sudden cedar
#

Maybe.

midnight wyvern
#

no

sudden cedar
#

According to my steam page news entry, vacation's over for the Swedes

midnight wyvern
#

202025 is when the update is coming

sudden cedar
#

Even before that.

#

Or you wouldn't have that many crying for ammo or healing

#

Like a little b..

#

ahem

sudden cedar
midnight wyvern
#

what

sudden cedar
#

Could also be a general thing, i don't really pay attention to those.

midnight wyvern
#

guys, rumblergyn isn't strong because it needs ammo

unreal nova
sudden cedar
#

Can i say this without sounding mean...

#

But you are a special case that is forced to play with horrific lag due to servers and player availability

normal bay
sudden cedar
#

If we take a player with stable connection and minimal lag, eating overheads is in most cases a skill issue

midnight wyvern
#

lmao

unreal nova
sudden cedar
#

I concede that

sudden cedar
#

Sometimes we take hits that simply shouldn't happen

unreal nova
midnight wyvern
normal bay
sudden cedar
#

Yeah annoying stuff like that

unreal nova
sudden cedar
#

Or like .. you get netted through a fucking container because that is apparently not solid for net projectiles

hybrid plover
unreal nova
sudden cedar
#

@hybrid plover Hitbox issues.

midnight wyvern
sudden cedar
#

It is extremely annoying

midnight wyvern
sudden cedar
#

Last Havoc Mission, we had an Ogryn get netted through a door frame while he was hiding behind it and the wall next to it

#

still somehow hit him

unreal nova
midnight wyvern
#

more to ogryn cuz big

#

also low dodge range

unreal nova
#

I know cos that BS also hits me alot.

sudden cedar
#

Bigger hitbox yes

unreal nova
#

And I'm on a human class.

midnight wyvern
#

no?

unreal nova
#

Going from 5 ping to 300+ is funni.

midnight wyvern
unreal nova
#

You go from near point blank mutie dodges to having to dodge like a distance away.

#

And is still a gamble.

sudden cedar
#

Rubberbanding too?

unreal nova
#

Yep.

#

Some days it's extra spicy.

#

Some days, I just DC.

midnight wyvern
#

lol

unreal nova
#

Trying to clutch then is hell.

#

Everything is teleporting and I might randomly DC and you are all dead?

#

Yes.

#

GDI.

surreal rune
#

the friendly moments of the cadian veteran make all of the shouting worth it

spring ocean
#

most obnoxious shit ever in darktide, I have to say out of experience of dealing with it

hybrid plover
#

it's the fact that it looks like the net actually goes around the corner too

spring ocean
#

yeah

#

stupid af lol

midnight wyvern
#

I hope they include a fix for auric in the patch they do soon

#

getting tired of this lol

spring ocean
midnight wyvern
#

(it didn't hit me)

barren cave
#

ive done the karnak twins on auric

#

how do you unlock the secret mode

unreal nova
barren cave
#

well

#

wdym or

#

oh

#

you mean if I join someones game

#

?

unreal nova
barren cave
#

i see

unreal nova
#

Then you win it.

barren cave
#

what is the skip

unreal nova
#

Will also unlock the bell skip.

#

That's the easter egg thing.

barren cave
#

what does the bell skip?

#

like whats skipped basically

unreal nova
#

You see a string of numbers in the middle of the run?

barren cave
#

no KEKW_ogryn

unreal nova
#

Write that down and ring all the hidden in plain sight bells in order to that.

barren cave
unreal nova
#

Needs a new run to ring all.

#

That will unlock the skip.

barren cave
#

if I just join someone who has it unlocked i dont gotta do all that?

unreal nova
#

Yes.

#

Just needs 1 player with it.

barren cave
#

okay, then its just boss fight right

unreal nova
#

Mhm.

barren cave
#

hmm

unreal nova
#

Extra bs, extra hard.

barren cave
#

but isnt there a penance for doing the "puzzle"

#

do I get that by joining someone elses game

unreal nova
#

You get it as well if you beat the secret hard mode.

barren cave
#

oh nice

unreal nova
#

Or just do the puzzle.

midnight wyvern
barren cave
#

so basically, all I have to do is find someone who has it unlocked, and clear the fight , and I get the penances for all the secret mode and puzzle stuff

midnight wyvern
#

I happened to QP into it and a random did the hard mode and we still did it

#

shrimple as

midnight wyvern
#

lol

unreal nova
#

First try, all of us laughing.

barren cave
midnight wyvern
#

I mean

#

yeah?

#

and?

#

do puzzle, do fight

barren cave
#

so might as well just join someone and get them both at once

#

instead of doing the puzzle myself

midnight wyvern
#

and rely on someone having it when you could do it yourself

barren cave
#

yeah? and?

midnight wyvern
#

your time not mine I guess

#

waste it how you want

unreal nova
#

Most newbies just want a clear and will even just drop to uprising for help.

barren cave
#

also when you say skip , it skips the entire mission and you just have secret mode fight?

barren cave
#

damn I didnt know you could skip the map

unreal nova
#

You lose out on the mats though.

barren cave
#

bleh

#

thats ok

#

i got mats

midnight wyvern
barren cave
#

theres plenty of time to farm mats

midnight wyvern
#

but not plenty of time to do the puzzle

barren cave
#

the only perfect weapon Im missing is plasma

#

everything else is good to go

#

oh and Im missing max toughness curios on ogryn

#

how hard is the fight anyway

#

im pretty sure it came out way before havoc, cant be that hard

midnight wyvern
#

its a good challenge if the team is set up for it

#

vet and psyker are probably the ones that would struggle the most to be effective

#

99% sure rodins plasma is a scripted 1 shot of toughness so your gold isn't going to mean much lol

unreal nova
#

Moment Rodin wants to shoot me, I'm dead.

midnight wyvern
#

also their shield burst can and will kill people in that arena

#

not hard mode related

#

but it will happen

unreal nova
#

Warning is too late to dodge.

barren cave
#

its easy enough on auric

unreal nova
barren cave
#

the hard part on auric is just someone getting swarmed by ragers and maulers and not paying attention because they are fixated on twins

barren cave
#

rip

midnight wyvern
#

I mean go for it on whatever you want, just telling you how it is lol

#

they hit hard and there is many bros

#

Arbites with shock mines is a god send

barren cave
#

also ive noticed pbb achyls absolutely destroy the shields, on auric at least

midnight wyvern
#

tauntgryn is great

#

yeah shock maul would do it too, they're not too much of a concern since twins don't spam regen shields

barren cave
#

can you unlock the puzzle on sedition

#

and what exactly do you do, you see random strings throughout the map and uh? ring some bells?

unreal nova
#

Or just Google a guide.

barren cave
#

yeah il check it on yt

unreal nova
#

The number of rings is always the same.

steep flower
#

the shield bash can be blocked... but you lose all stamina; i would change only that cause its important for example when you'll be reviving teammates

calm shard
#

actually probasbly fine

#

if it's just a melee build that coincidentally takes PBB+Achlys

#

rending not fire?

steep flower
steep flower
calm shard
#

I feel like that could be solved by using a weapon that does better into crushers

#

or the brittleness in middle tree

#

but also like it's ogryn you actually get to make choices like that so

#

it's not like there's an objectively correct solution to it

steep flower
#

your ability is for quick dps in important situations

steep flower
barren cave
#

isnt fire better into bulwarks also

#

like your pbb is just dead if theres a bullwark wall with rending right

calm shard
#

yeah fire would be better into everything except for crushers and captains

south spindle
#

Any dot is at least servicable into Bulwarks

steep flower
south spindle
#

Ofc Electrcity Dot is bestest coz stunlock

unreal nova
barren cave
#

do you improve much against crushers with rending node though, how much rending does it give you again

south spindle
steep flower
south spindle
#

Shock Maul is very worth playing for anti-shield properties against those enemies tho

unreal nova
steep flower
south spindle
#

Try Shock Maul, seriously, the thing can do work

steep flower
#

especially when you get cornered

south spindle
#

If you have Serrated also, funny double DoT

barren cave
#

I wanna try bleed knife vet with serrated

#

and bleed blessing

unreal nova
barren cave
#

flesh tearer prob, not lacerate

steep flower
steep flower
south spindle
barren cave
#

also I guess taxe is great with serrated too

south spindle
#

Its still surprisingly competant tho

barren cave
#

unfortunately, I cant afford serrated on my ws build

unreal nova
barren cave
#

unless i dont take shredders maybe, or if i dont take shout

south spindle
#

No need to dodge and its already gonna have bleed stacks as soon as you hit it, straight profit

unreal nova
#

Is kinda weak cos of the maths.

#

Is only weakspot damage

south spindle
#

Is Precog' any better?

barren cave
#

cant you take ft and uncanny strike on knife vet

south spindle
#

I thought Finesse = Weakspot (ofc crit as well)

calm shard
#

yeah finesse is crit and weakspot

limber bane
#

is boltgun a good alternative to plasma gun in H40

#

especially for this build

steep flower
unreal nova
barren cave
#

lemme pull out mine so I can compare

limber bane
unreal nova
#

You technically have 2 free points in Field Improv and Born leader.

steep flower
limber bane
#

unlike plasma

unreal nova
barren cave
#

right

steep flower
limber bane
#

other than that what does the boltgun offer over plasma?

limber bane
#

i only pull it out to snipe gunners/reapers that are too far away for dueling sword

barren cave
#

the noises it makes are significantly more appealing

limber bane
#

and very occasionally for horde clear if we are getting overwhelmed by a flak horde or smth

#

hate that headshots don't one tap gunners on plasma gun

#

i guess that's the price you pay for it piercing through everything and being easy as hell to play

unreal nova
# barren cave right

Cos I know some ppl hate them. But is like, I can have serrated and WS while getting survivalist and gold shout.

steep flower
barren cave
steep flower
unreal nova
barren cave
#

lol

#

i wanna play keystoneless vet for nades but last penance i have left on the class is ws

#

might as well finish it off first

unreal nova
#

Why the 1 point into base WS.

#

But then I got used to it.

#

_>

barren cave
#

i think I can

#

I dont the first subnode on ws is doing anything special

unreal nova
#

Or just learn to reload cancel or just time reloads better.

barren cave
#

I mainly took it because on your toes seemed good

#

the one below reload

#

Idc about the reload one much, i dont mind managing reload

unreal nova
#

Ah. I CBA. Get lucky or die, yes?

steep flower
unreal nova
#

But might be crazy dodge spam.

barren cave
#

grenade tinkerer is good on shredders right

limber bane
#

will try how that goes

unreal nova
#

Boom room yes!

steep flower
# limber bane no desperado?

this notion that 'every build for vet has to have reciprocity & desperado OR even trench fighter drill' is pepega; you don't need it; in alot of cases is talent spending for stuff you don't really need helping with

unreal nova
barren cave
#

hmm, I could take 5% health and grenader tinkerer or take 25 toughness and bring it down. I think the bring it down choice is probably better

steep flower
#

cause lemme tell ya; seen many boltgun builds and tbh none are better than this one if i may be so bold; tested in countless h40s

limber bane
unreal nova
steep flower
barren cave
#

thats true, and buffing shredder nades is more fun, but 25 toughness and more dmg to ogryns is pretty good

limber bane
#

isn't that a substantial loss to take those two nodes out

unreal nova
steep flower
barren cave
#

im gonna go full nade build after I finish the ws penance and I drop keystones from vet

limber bane
ember nest
#

:^/

steep flower
ember nest
#

Is there an example of ttk w/ and w/o it?

#

Against like captains and pogryns

limber bane
#

I would rather have desperado over Field Improv tbh

steep flower
unreal nova
#

Have both!

steep flower
#

ppl underestimate it

unreal nova
barren cave
#

wait, i can get grenade tinkerer and bring it down both if I drop survivalist aura and go for the fire team aura

#

team will hate me , but ...sure

ember nest
#

Normal boltgun stuff

steep flower
unreal nova
steep flower
limber bane
#

okay okay

#

I'll try it

barren cave
#

hahaha, thats funny build

steep flower
unreal nova
#

Dual commissars with field improv is still the funni thing.

steep flower
ember nest
#

Was someone just going to drop boltgun in for plasma or smth

limber bane
steep flower
ember nest
#

If ur going boltgun then hell no you don't need desperado LMFAO

steep flower
limber bane
#

and doesn't boltgun chew through ammo? how do you handle ammo economy

steep flower
unreal nova
#

Unless you play really low diffs... a good use of kits and crates is a godsend.

limber bane
#

what primary do you go for? and can you send the perks for both weps

limber bane
#

OK ♥

calm shard
#

They could also just spawn at the absolute final event of the mission

unreal nova
calm shard
#

Or on the pathway to extract

steep flower
calm shard
#

that's literally how the spawns work in havoc

#

if you dawdle it throws more shit at you to get you to keep moving

steep flower
unreal nova
steep flower
#

thats why sometimes you get 5 bosses

#

even tho you're not dawdling

ember nest
#

You get 5 big booms!

KABOOM!!!

RAAAAH AURIC EXEMPLAR

covert dagger
#

That's not the alt-f4 achievement, right? That's ASS.

stoic thorn
#

That's the one below ASS

covert dagger
#

Still alt-f4?

stoic thorn
#

10 normal aurics without dying

covert dagger
#

Ah. Yes.

normal bay
#

You can't alt-F4 either anymore to my knowledge

stoic thorn
#

I am NOT touching the auric maelstrom with a ten foot pole

ember nest
#

Why not

#

Its fun

normal bay
#

ASS is probably easier

stoic thorn
#

Don't like the modifiers

normal bay
#

5 less missions to get shit teammates or barreled KEKW_ogryn

stoic thorn
#

Wait ASS is only 5 missions?

#

I run bistol psword and focus fire

normal bay
#

Yup

unreal nova
stoic thorn
#

I've found quite a good build I think

unreal nova
#

They count to auric exemplar as well.

stoic thorn
#

It suits my playstyle I love toughness regen and helping my team

#

Cover Fire is goated I love it

normal bay
#

Just find easy maels. Plenty of hound missions pop up lol

stoic thorn
#

I LOVE helping my team regen toughness by blasting poxers next to them

#

Damage boosts too

#

Albeit I have to forgo grenade tinkerer

#

It's a trade I'm fine with

covert dagger
stoic thorn
#

Focus Fire with toughness regen

#

40% toughness back with I fucking kill a shotgunner I tag

#

And my teammates regen toughness with me too

covert dagger
#

Laspistol at head height through a crowd of poxers makes zealots happy.

stoic thorn
#

I run bistol

#

Motivational shots

covert dagger
#

Then they tell you that you suck.

stoic thorn
#

Bistol is goated with puncture and run and gun

#

Psword Bistol we a cadian sergeant

covert dagger
#

I go for a corporal level reject.

#

Although my "fun loadout" is a super team oriented lasgun vet. I use it when I play high ... makes games smoooooth.

calm shard
covert dagger
#

Dunno. Makes zealot not die.

stoic thorn
#

I wish the radius of cover fire was larger tho

#

5m is not enough make it 8

covert dagger
#

Same.

stoic thorn
#

Two cover vets

covert dagger
#

For "real" party support NGL I play dogless shield Arby.

#

I hate myself for it sometimes. Vet is what I wanna play. Guard for life. Until I get an Eldar. But man. It's so much fun with that shield and my super angry arby.

#

Feels so good.

unreal nova
covert dagger
#

Those are so damn good.

#

Like, they save groups so often.

stoic thorn
#

I'm a beast with the ogryn idk why

unreal nova
#

Can clutch even with crazy DC lag if you get lucky.

stoic thorn
#

Max defense slab shield

covert dagger
#

Shield Ogryn? Oh hell yeah.

#

What secondary is godly.

stoic thorn
#

Rumbler

#

If you expand into bigger booms and fire booms on the right side of the tree it's golden

covert dagger
#

*That.

#

I think I use .... single shot stubber? I don't really use guns a lot on that one.

stoic thorn
#

Rumbler is so good

unreal nova
#

You will get hate if you just Rumbler and steal all ammo.

stoic thorn
#

I don't steal all the ammo

#

I take some

#

Most of the time it's taunt and shield doin the talking

covert dagger
#

"Da biggest can't get hate, cuz he's da biggest. And meanest."

stoic thorn
#

The rumbler WILL clutch

#

Bosses? Ezpz if you spam it with adhesive charges and shrapnel

#

That's bleed and burn on the boss

calm shard
#

oh wait

covert dagger
#

the shock mace burns through their shield, too. The secondary is great.

stoic thorn
#

The little people don't deserve ammo if I'm rumbling

#

Horde: wiped

#

Shield wall: blown to bits

#

Bosses: dead

#

PBB rumbler fun as hell though

unreal nova
stoic thorn
calm shard
#

rumbler is just like that

#

it's like a psyker that eats all the ammo on the map to kill everything

stoic thorn
#

Staff psyker ftw

unreal nova
calm shard
#

yeah

stoic thorn
#

Voidblsst woo

#

I'm terrible with psyker

covert dagger
#

I've been told good players don't use ammo ever. they also never get hit. And always melee.

stoic thorn
#

I keep blowign up

covert dagger
#

I have three levels left on Psyker. Then I am never touching it again,

stoic thorn
covert dagger
#

As have I! And they also never need a team.

#

Ever,

You shit the chair???

Admonition calling your name rn

::chikabowow::

barren cave
#

admonition needs more filth on their designs

#

dregs look homeless, not infected

stoic thorn
#

I think they are

barren cave
#

well yes ofc

stoic thorn
#

Give them fent

#

And they go away

covert dagger
#

Can you imagine the smell in some of those places? Like the hab blocks with fifteen rotting corpses and like, literal mounds of puss?

stoic thorn
#

Darktide coma theory

barren cave
#

well

#

and the blood and gore

covert dagger
#

I mean, my dog had an infection once in her ear and I could smell it from a couple yards away. And it was like, less than an ounce of goop.

barren cave
#

all in addition to the general aroma of a hive city

barren cave
#

dreg ragers are cool

#

I almost forgot they are admonition

#

mostly because I keep forgetting scab ragers exist

#

they seem weirdly less frequent

calm shard
#

scab ragers are much rarer yeah

#

always have been

#

despite being less threatening

#

kinda just the case for scab enemies in general

#

a lot of dreg enemies are directly more dangerous and they spawn more frequently

barren cave
#

also isnt there one enemy type thats missing a counterpart

#

mauler yeah

#

dreg maulers when

calm shard
#

dregs also don't have shooters

#

all of their ranged fodder are Stalkers

#

(which are more dangerous)

barren cave
#

those autogun potshot guys dont count as shooters?

covert dagger
#

Aren't they basically block fodd- citizens of the imperium?

barren cave
#

they are

sudden cedar
#

yes

covert dagger
#

The moebian sixth is the actual soldiers.

barren cave
#

they are a cult, scabs are traitor guardsmen

sudden cedar
#

Yes the Moebian 6th are Soldiers.

#

And more importantly, they are an Imperial Guard Regiment.

#

They aren't PDF

calm shard
covert dagger
#

Ooooh. Right.

calm shard
#

Scab Stalkers are these guys

barren cave
#

why do you say stalkers are more dangerous than shooters

calm shard
#

They're more aggressive and shoot much faster. Plus they resist suppression

barren cave
#

dreg stalkers resist suppression?

calm shard
#

All stalkers do

barren cave
#

fs what even is the relevance of suppression anymore

calm shard
#

Dreg Stalkers used to be immune to suppression

barren cave
#

at least get rid of the tax nodes that dont do anything except plus suppression KEKW_ogryn

calm shard
#

Suppression is good into gunners

#

Even a tiny amount of it will make them lose accuracy when shooting

barren cave
#

yeah but I feel like modifying my suppression in the skill tree is never worth it

#

its like getting stamina reduction on sprint or something, not worth it

calm shard
#

Yeah beause it isn't unless you're a gunlugger or arbites

#

Who get +25% damage into suppressed enemies

covert dagger
#

does it also help stagger? I've played around with a lasrifle setup where the first round was meh, and the second one hit like a dump truck because of a bunch of stagger.

calm shard
#

Suppression is unrelated to stagger

covert dagger
#

Booo.

barren cave
calm shard
#

You probably see them but don't really think about them

#

They usually only spawn alongside shotgunners and bulwarks

barren cave
#

I hope dreg mauler is barechested 🫡

#

and has like 4 arms or something

covert dagger
#

I'd say something uneven like three, but that's the nids.

#

Wait, maybe some day in the far future we get to shoot nids.

barren cave
#

genestealer speculation is like

#

a daily occurence on this discord

#

which I approve of

covert dagger
#

Maybe just a small geneetaler infection?

sudden cedar
#

There is no such thing as a small genestealer infection

covert dagger
#

Like you know ... maybe somethign in the underhive.

sudden cedar
#

Given the scale of Hives

covert dagger
#

Some natural caverns, gnarly ecosystem ...

barren cave
#

well, itd be decent fit, also its a cool faction they can give limelight on, kinda like arbitrators

covert dagger
#

My character keeps talking about Eldar.

#

I would LOVE to see a "lore appropriate" encounter with like, a banshee.

#

If I was an eldar I'd be a banshee. Scream that edge out!

mortal aspen
#

lore appropriate?
random gameover

covert dagger
#

Maybe the NPC we're guarding gets ganked?

#

Or they shred Wolfer!

#

Into tiny little ribbons.

sudden cedar
#

Wolfer will most likely just get sacrificed in one way or the other by the Admonition because he has proven to be useless

covert dagger
#

Or become an "asset" to Rannick.

#

That's my prediction, we suddenly have to help him because he knows stuff.

sudden cedar
#

I don't think Rannick is that radical

barren cave
#

I also think admonition will fuck up wolfer somehow

#

either that or zola will

sudden cedar
#

Or Grendyl for that matter

covert dagger
#

Either way wil be fun.

#

I mean, Rannick doesn't have to be a radical, he could just snag Wolfer and take his time with him and squeeze him.

barren cave
#

I also would not be surprised if at some point down the line zola gets corrupted and joins the traitors

mortal aspen
#

so much copium, the story will never get this far xdd

barren cave
covert dagger
#

Hope may be the first step to disappointment, but a Guardman without hope is as good as dead.

sudden cedar
#

I don't Zola think is that kind of material

covert dagger
#

I think she has some like .... Khorne leanings, but her and Wolfer probably know each other,

#

Ooooh, maybe she dies in an attempt to snag wolfer? Like the KArnak twins missio, but more failed.

ember nest
#

Isn't the entire allusion here that Wolfer is her brother

calm shard
ember nest
#

Amd then they lay on the whole "importance of siblings" bit hella thick in the ritual mission

covert dagger
#

Can't wait.

#

Maybe she has to put a round through his head.

ember nest
#

"Damn! Siblings! Siblings is the prophecy! A sibling bond! Lets use the twins. The twins didn't work! They aren't the prophecy! I wonder who the prophecy is for then!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

calm shard
ember nest
#

We dunno what they were doing

#

Jo's spitballing occasionally hits but other times it leads to

#

That.

covert dagger
#

Guy crucified did kinda look like a KArnak.

ember nest
#

It

#

Its rodin

#

It is Rodin

covert dagger
#

Makes sense.

barren cave
#

also is that like dead rodin, or did rodin survive the orthus mission

#

ik rinda did

ember nest
ember nest
covert dagger
#

If they turn Zola chaos, they better not make her fanservice pretty.

ember nest
#

The on where they are juicing rodin with stims

#

Have yall not played that mission yet

barren cave
#

when do they juice rodin with stims staregryn

#

i feel like ive just been killing mobs lol

covert dagger
#

The guy hanging on the chaos star in the mission where you have to popo the barriers.

#

That's Rodin KArnak.

#

You kill/wound/hurt? him in a previous one.

#

The one Zola botches.

sudden cedar
#

Well it was Rodin Karnak. Now it is just the corpse of Rodin Karnak.

barren cave
#

oh thats dark communion yes

ember nest
#
  • rodin is dead
  • some admonition lady is yapping about a ritual with a sibling bond
  • wolfer is being salty the entire mission
  • we interrupt whatever it is
#
  • rodin's body vanishes
covert dagger
#

Epic.

sudden cedar
#

Wolfer being salty is the most fun part of it.

covert dagger
#

"It is time for the three to meet."

barren cave
#

im asking if the hanging rodin was dead or did he survive our killing him in the orthus offensive and then they strung him up for sacrifice

ember nest
#

My personal theory is that admonition is being backed by hereteks

covert dagger
#

At least the nobility.

elder fiber
#

he was just sleeping

barren cave
#

but rinda is alive?

covert dagger
#

The guy talking to Zola has the hoity toity accent.

ember nest
#

Rinda survived and the same lady that's yapping did some augments on her or whatever

barren cave
#

i see

ember nest
barren cave
#

and youre saying that sibling bond quote is also from dark communion?

sudden cedar
#

She's probably huffing the Admonition Stims now.

barren cave
#

i def missed it

sudden cedar
#

Yes. Referring to Rodin and Rinda Karnak

covert dagger
#

No. the guy who also taunts Morrow.

barren cave
#

is it in the gibberish they speak or do they actually say it

ember nest
ember nest
barren cave
#

hes the guy that calls him a blowhard in one of the hourglass missions

covert dagger
#

I haven't had him in a lot of missions. He has a noble accent and seems to know Zola. He says that the tree is holy ground.

barren cave
#

yeah that guy

sudden cedar
#

The Sibling Bond thing happens in Dark Communion as part of a few variants as to what is being said when you cross the first area and reach the first med station

barren cave
#

AHHHHHHHHHHH

#

i dont think ive gotten that line or I just missed it lol

sudden cedar
#

And it very clearly referrences Rinda and Rodin Karnak.

ember nest
#

^

sudden cedar
#

Because Rodin is being used in the ritual.

barren cave
#

so rinda's still around somewhere, probably more juiced up

#

and rodin is permadead

sudden cedar
#

Yes.

ember nest
#

Basically
But that means the prophecy is unfufilled

barren cave
#

well

#

I havent played all the mortis trials, but i definitely got some voicelines about zola , some arbitrators and her brother

#

havent concluded it yet though

#

also its kinda cool you can pick an arbitrator background where you were part of the arbitrator team that captured wolfer alive and imprisoned him in the tancred bastion, where he gets broken out of in the beginning of the game

sudden cedar
#

I don't know if it has been confirmed by FS but it is very much possible that formerly Tibiron Zola is now Biron Wolfer

#

What is clear is that Tibiron Zola has volunteered/been drafted into the Imperial Guard

#

Or first into the PDF and later made it into the Imperial Guard.

barren cave
ember nest
#

And the tithe from atoma goes to the moebian regiments as part of the moebian domain

#

(Saying this preemptively to kick any "he could go anywhere" notions in the balls)

sudden cedar
#

Yes.

#

Moebian Domain Regiments could be deployed elsewhere, yes, as can all Imperial Guard Regiments.

barren cave
#

well itd be kinda weird if the whole conclusion to that thing was her brother is just some random guardsmen off somewhere and has no relevance anymore, especially when in the main missions themselves the admonition guys keep bringing up zolas past like theres something important to them there

ember nest
#

Most if not all of them are stuck fighting the darktide

sudden cedar
#

Yes, that is the reason why it is most likely.

#

Otherwise you have characters that end up nowhere and you don't get anywhere with them.

covert dagger
#

You know ... maybe that's why she's still alove. Rannick is keeping her as a doule agent.

sudden cedar
#

She's no double agent.

ember nest
sudden cedar
#

Pretty much everyone knows she's an Inquisitorial Operative by now.

barren cave
#

and theyve already literally implied zola has some kind of agenda with wolfer, her whole orthus offensive missions was about her "obsession" with wolfer

sudden cedar
#

Explicator is one rank below Interrogator.

ember nest
#

^

covert dagger
#

He likely suspects or knows she has some sort of attachment to Wolfer. And she did betray him, and as Morrow points out "at least she's still breathing."

sudden cedar
#

She used/uses the Ragged King and his lackeys as informants yes.

#

With the help of Brunt.

#

Brunt smashed his face in, Zola said "do it" and the Ragged King complied.

covert dagger
#

Oh yeah, so since we're all acolytes ... are we the same as the guys guarding the mourningstar?

sudden cedar
#

No.

covert dagger
#

What are they?

sudden cedar
#

Everyone in the Warband is an Acolyte, that is a general term.

covert dagger
#

Ah, gotcha.

sudden cedar
#

We are part of Strike Teams that do missions.

#

I mean..(duh)

covert dagger
#

Right. And Rannick is making an effort not to learn our names.

sudden cedar
#

Which means, yes, both Rannick and Zola are also still Acolytes.

covert dagger
#

Which means we might be like, minorly not terrible at what we do.

ember nest
#

What

barren cave
#

Im pretty sure at least one or two of the guardsmen on the mourningstar are veterans morrow brought with him who fought with him at some campaign or the other, its in the wiki

ember nest
#

"An effort not to learn names" = he expects you to die

covert dagger
#

Cause the guards are super nice to me.

ember nest
#

The dialogue changes as you go up in trust

sudden cedar
#

Yes.

barren cave
#

especially melk

covert dagger
#

Exactly. So at some point we're not just rejects.

sudden cedar
#

Most of the Guards will be friendly, but the other characters reaction depend on your background.

barren cave
#

you wanna bash melks head in when your low level

covert dagger
#

We're valuable rejects.

sudden cedar
#

No

#

We are scum.

#

But USEFUL scum.

barren cave
#

we are just accepted as competent rejects

#

yeah

sudden cedar
#

Rannicks own words.

covert dagger
#

Exactly. Valuable.

barren cave
#

expendable

sudden cedar
#

For example, Hestia does not like Psykers.

#

As expected.

barren cave
#

completely expendable still

sudden cedar
#

Melk also does not like the Fanatic Zealot.

ember nest
#

By the time of orthus offensive rannick doesn't even want to waste the strike teams to be fair. He still sees you as expendable, but in this case there's at least an effort to pull you out.

covert dagger
#

Remember Rannick doesn't give out praise. And everyone is expendable. Like, your average guardsman isn't "scum" because they're expendable.

sudden cedar
#

Yes. He only wants to get us out because failure would be worse than survival.

#

He'd throw us away in a heartbeat without thinking about it. When the situation requires it.

barren cave
#

Im pretty sure they dont see us valuable at all , just tested and proven

covert dagger
#

He does make a pretty sincere plea to Masozi.

#

Right. Tested and proven assets.

#

You don't throw those away mindlessly.

sudden cedar
#

As long as we remain useful, he will keep us alive because we can be of further use.

ember nest
#

In dark communion he's like "well its too late to send backup so do your best."

barren cave
#

its like their go to strategy

sudden cedar
#

true enough, but the Inquisition works differently.

#

So do Rogue Traders by the way.

covert dagger
#

Smart Inquisitors don't. I think they really set him up as smart. Paranoid and smart. I think he will usurp Grendyl. In the video for Arbites Grendyl is .... questionably behaved toward an apprentice.

ember nest
#

Thats about par for the course actually

barren cave
#

that sounds nice to me

calm shard
sudden cedar
#

That is because as much power as the Inquisition has, they rely very much on being able to exert that Power

covert dagger
#

You don't groom someone like Rannick just to chuck 'em. It's very uneconomical.

sudden cedar
#

And everyone else conceding to it.

barren cave
#

if they do like a big grendyl reveal and then rannick just usurps him in the next scene

ember nest
#

You have immense expectations as an interrogator

#

Grendyl is also hiding his

#

Condition from Rannick, iirc

covert dagger
#

Condition?

ember nest
#

Okay so like Grendyl is a ghost

#

Or

barren cave
#

diabetes?

ember nest
#

Something similar

sudden cedar
#

Some say he is similar to Sefoni.

ember nest
#

And currently, for all intense and purposes, "is" the morningstar, and has been for centuries.

#

Grendyl has been around at least as long as Morrow has.

barren cave
#

i think someone told me there is a bunch of stuff about brahms family and the mourningstar being connected to grendyl, and grendyl is most likely cursed somehow to be integrated into the ship

ember nest
#

Yes

sudden cedar
#

Yes.

#

It is also quite likely that Grendyl is a Brahms.

hybrid solstice
#

So grendyl ... Is a ship

ember nest
#

The brahms are basically under control of grendyl and pretend to just be "helping"

#

Grendyl has been on the ship the whole time but outside of a chosen few (kharib, Brahms) he is considered to be "elsewhere"

barren cave
#

yeah and kharib isnt seen anywhere because hes tending to grendyl, since hes cursed

ember nest
#

Even Rannick does not know he is on the ship

sudden cedar
#

Do be like that i guess.

ember nest
#

In other words we are playing
Pirates Of The Caribbean:
The Dark Tide

barren cave
#

i cant wait for someone to explain all this to the ogryn

ember nest
#

Brunt is missing

covert dagger
#

I would like Grendyl being some psyker that's slowly being nugrled.

barren cave
#

" GRENDYL IS SHIP? YESSS BOSS!"

ember nest
#

Pensive emoji

barren cave
#

not brunt

#

the reject ogryn

ember nest
#

Oh good luck

#

The only reason your rejects would even remotely know this is because sefoni enjoys being a lil' leaker in the mortis trials

#

And also moaning

#

But mostly being a leaker

barren cave
#

brunt being missing is kinda random, it doesnt tie into anything yet right

ember nest
#

Yet

barren cave
#

well

#

I hope hes a named plague ogryn boss

#

and we get to put him to peace with brunts special pogryn

ember nest
#

I hope admonition turns him into a big combat servitor

#

I am fully on the train of "admonition are backed by the dark mechanicum"

hybrid solstice
#

Brunt saw too much so grendyl transorm him into big battle ... roomba

ember nest
#

Because they keep being very very very very blatant

#

That the tech the heretics have is above the norm for even the 6th

#

And that admonition has been lurking since before the 6th came back

barren cave
#

i dunno but

#

if it is dark mechanicum its yet another reason to give me admech themed class next

ember nest
#

Like even Hadron and Kayex are like

barren cave
ember nest
#

"Tf you mean they have a genesis chamber"

#

"Why"

#

And iirc there's dialogue about a techpreist hanging around Wolfer

#

And then wolfer calling the admonition voice "creature"

icy gulch
#

when the lore has lore about the lore

barren cave
#

same

#

anything admech really, even tech adept is cool

#

but skitarii would be so dope

#

and the power level fits into the current squad level

#

they can give me arc rifles and phosphor pistol

sudden cedar
#

Mhmhm yes... Rad-poisoning.

barren cave
#

main reason I want skitarii is because skitarii banter in dt style would be so dope

sudden cedar
#

Would it? I have to say, while the stuff the Arbitrators say is good.. it is very much not on the level of the original four.

#

To be expected, of course, but still.

barren cave
#

arbitrators dont have much banter with the other 4 yeah, but their individual voicelines are still great

sudden cedar
#

Outside of a lot of them being buggy or having wrong subtitles.

barren cave
#

also they do say like, arbitrator stuff and not boring stuff

sudden cedar
#

And the Fatalist constantly lexing about.

ember nest
sudden cedar
#

The Lex is the Lex!

ember nest
#

So I have a feeling we will get 2 talkative ones and one that is just binaric screeching

sudden cedar
barren cave
#

well i dont blame any of the rejects for not being...super chatty with the Maul voice arbitrator, because like

#

who would really

#

" BREAK THEIR SKULLS"

fast mason
#

servoskull class or i kill myself

ember nest
#

Maul is just excited

barren cave
#

" I . AM. ADAMANT"

ember nest
#

I hope everyone who asks for servoskulls fucking explodes

sudden cedar
#

The Authoritarian at least has style.

barren cave
#

Inefficient use of ammo. MANDATED EDICT : PSYCHIC RECONSTRUCTION

ember nest
#

The fuck are servoskulls supposed to do? All I ever see is "play the game for you" and "be a turret"

sudden cedar
#

Not being a complete nutcase helps with that.

hybrid solstice
#

SKittari that sends servoskull as skill like sienna sends skull as pyromancer KEKW_ogryn

sudden cedar
#

Servo-skulls are drone-like devices fashioned from human skulls – often those of pious Imperial servants, low-ranking tech-adepts, or loyal adepts of the Adeptus Terra – and then given a rudimentary Machine spirit, support systems, and anti-gravity engine to allow them to hover and drift bodiless through the air.[1] Presumably this chance t...

#

@ember nest A more mechanized dog.

barren cave
#

but Maul screaming, " QUUAAAAILLL BLOCKFODDERRR" in the most guttural hateful voice youve ever heard does something for me

sudden cedar
#

Any excuse to not interact with the systems of the game.

#

Pyromania. Mandated Edict: Three years of service in polar labour camps.

ember nest
#

Give gaurdsman the servoskull and rework him into a scion

#

😤

barren cave
#

no

sudden cedar
#

You wouldn't want a Scion

ember nest
#

I very explicitly want a scion

sudden cedar
#

You'd just get a less pissed off Arbitrator.

barren cave
#

scion boring, drip cool

ember nest
#

Not ganeplay wise

barren cave
#

isnt scion drip already in the game

ember nest
#

We have the helmet

#

Which is oversized

barren cave
#

i see

sudden cedar
#

People want this.

ember nest
#

For scions they would literally be the gaurd but with more weapons (I want the fucking hotshot las already)

sudden cedar
#

Or this

ember nest
#

Scions being "better gaurd" is like the entire reason they butt heads with the gaurd in lore

sudden cedar
barren cave
#

whats next? they want a krieg grenadier? also I do agree on hotshot las, it should be a thing in the game

sudden cedar
#

I mean, Tempestus Scions are better than the Guard.

barren cave
#

after krieg grenadier we want our ogryn to be an elysian drop trooper

ember nest
#

🧍

sudden cedar
#

Yeah.

#

They just are.

barren cave
#

i would have assumed an enforcer class earlier, but i think thats kinda irrelevant now that they gave us arbitrator

sudden cedar
#

Enforcers are your average cops

#

Just with a bit more brutality.

ember nest
#

Moat enforcers tend to be ex criminals themselves

#

I have a feeling we'll be getting some shitty ganger next though

calm shard

or uh

Who was handed over to the..

What actually.

ember nest

They got arrested or whatever

#

Very lucky time to be arrested tbh

#

I don't reckon their life would have continued very far afterwards

sudden cedar
#

Ah there we go.

#

Scholastia Psykana

#

Enforcer Psyker mentions she/he was betrayed by her/his comrades

#

So, they noticed she/he was a Psyker and said "Let's get rid of them"

#

Given they are still alive, they got lucky and deemed strong enough to not get transported to Terra to act as fuel for the Emperor.

halcyon blaze
# calm shard that's literally how the spawns work in havoc

It's a little bit of both, you want to move forward, but not so fast that you don't notice medikits and ammo crates, and not so fast that things like hex rituals and bosses spawn simultaneously cause you pushed too far forward before dealing with what you already have.

Steady pace is key.

mortal aspen
buoyant pewter
ember nest
#

I think "shock trooper" as a class could be cool

Just running around with comically large guns

buoyant pewter
#

Frankly would be neat, but I feel like adding ankle biters (Ratlings) and binary speaking lunatics (Skiitarii) would be nice

#

More unique weapons should be added though, we have so many Guard standard weapons not represented, ranging from grenade launchers to power fists

barren cave
#

apart from skitarii i have no idea what class they could add

#

im sure fs has already considered options though

#

also I still havent played rt yet, and theres probably some ideas in there

He's the warden guy from outlast trials that shocks you

yeah but like

calm shard
#

Well anything that isn't Chaos

it cant be space marines

probably not sisters of battle

what else you got

#

cant be assassinorum assassins

#

there probably is stuff apart from skitarii that works, i just dont know it KEKW_ogryn

#

probably some criminal type

calm shard
#

Doesn't even have to be imperium depending on Grendyl's standards

barren cave
#

criminal type is the only archetype missing i guess, but thats kinda iffy considering the rejects are all convicts

sudden cedar
#

Yup.

#

The Inquisition can do almost everything.

#

And everything when no one is looking.

covert dagger
#

My veteran reject is at least an ex hive urchin.

But a real ganger would be fun.

I like using the SMG when I feel hive ratty.

hybrid solstice
#

Give me pyro class
I want revenge and make whole ground burn like flamers/bombers do

covert dagger
#

Flamers need more ammo. For sure.

sudden cedar
#

That would not solve the inherent problems that this weapon has.

covert dagger
#

I’d enjoy using it if it had more ammo.

#

That’s all I care about.

hybrid solstice
#

Some cleave, maybe blessing that you can leave flame trail on the floor

covert dagger
#

Or some crit build where you don’t use as much ammo?

buoyant pewter
covert dagger
#

That’d be cool.

buoyant pewter
#

Since we can get Arbites it wouldn't be out of the picture to see a Hospitaller Neophyte from the Sisters

covert dagger
#

We have one already.

buoyant pewter
#

Yep

#

She's the penanaces vendor

covert dagger
#

One of my fav NPCs. I love how she can scold a noble about saving innocents and ten minutes later shout “No Mercy! Slaughter them all!”

#

No clue why people love Hadron. Never really liked her.

#

I would love to see a Melk solo Mission. Where he just gets stuff horribly wrong because he is incompetent.

#

Or we find out he is actually a Fachidiot. And really really good at something.

buoyant pewter
#

Same, I like Hestia and Alice the most of the gang

barren cave
#

whats a fachidiot

trim badger
#

That'd be silly

barren cave
#

it would be, FS has confirmed explicitly that there wont be space marines

#

playable or as antagonists

#

which I for one heavily approve of

trim badger
#

I'd like to get some sort of more automated class or so?

barren cave
#

id like a admech themed class yeah

trim badger

You know, turrets and the like

barren cave

dunno about turrets and things, but just having a playable admech character in dt would be cool

also we have evidence for nurgle space marines being teased

Its not happening 😭

from one of the new cutscenes

"single frame from a jo video" bro it's a new cutscene from a new campaign revamp update in Darktide

"Scout drone class"

You mean other than the tau and votann and mechanicum fire wasps and the necrons and imperial drones and

unreal forge

"a drone? it means literally nothing bro"

I don't really get your point

I'm pretty sure it's just usual childish cope

It very clearly says "scout drone" buddy

unreal forge

ok?

Nice ad hominem though I'm sure dismissing people's rebuttals as "childish cope" works out well for you

it says scout drone and what does that say for you...?

I rather they did the Genestealer bit instead of going that direction, not because I feel strongly about it just because it would be nice to have enemies in a different color scheme
