Bit saucy for a public chat aint it? 
really now
Could look for the maths.
But it was like 2.75+15% for ds5 vs 3.25+12% for knoife.
Might be higher for knoife. I need to find path's post.
yeah now i'm actually curious about this
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
yep. heavy attack move tech makes you a speed demon
it is very good for repositioning
and vet benefits from that a lot
3m +11% vs 2.75m +15%.
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
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.
I need to find this move tech
it's very simple
just sprint and heavy
Heavy while sprinting.
that is literally all you do
Just spam it with a certain beat.
Then I've been doing it a lot then lol
Is 100% easier on knoife than doing on ds4.
What about crushers and maulers
Any tips for them with a knife? Or just barf then down like I do now
yeah. if lacerate, get your non weak spot hits in to proc bleed and then push attack
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
Chainsword lul. Trauma using it on psyker being brought back up.
But why?
Random build challenge. Poke Beans for one.
Had BB, Crits, bubble, DD.
EK+chainsword.
I have a hard enough time keeping up withe the major builds yall do. Can't be arsed with challenge builds.
Good stuff, if you dodge alot.
I know onslaught is kinda mandatory
Wot. Onslaught is memes.
Nah the 25% melee fineese
For recon laz; 40 percent rendibg
You path those 2, get toughness then the aspd then WS.
It feels like it makes a diffeence
Still memes. Shooting crushers is always a meme.
Wait is Focus target bad now?
It does increase damage, but the ammo cost for havoc will hurt.
Ahh
Naw. Is better if you have a proper team to whale on bosses.
AHHH
It's okay otherwise if you use it to breakpoint kill.
Anyway gotta get off my phone; in lab
petition to get tox bombers to fuck off pls
That's two Bistol shots.
tom bradying bombs from the netherrealm
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
No teammates?
they all died
two purge psykers that folded like paper and an arbites
Arby going down, wot.
i couldnt tell you
This better be havoc. But I feel like it isn't.
Oh. Still expect one to last longer unless it's oops off map or the big fan.
@unreal nova Arbitrator is sadly luckily not a free carry class. Even with that you can fuck up
Maybe.
According to my steam page news entry, vacation's over for the Swedes
202025 is when the update is coming
As the last person, yes.
Even before that.
Or you wouldn't have that many crying for ammo or healing
Like a little b..
ahem

what
Could also be a general thing, i don't really pay attention to those.
guys, rumblergyn isn't strong because it needs ammo
I never ask for ammo unless at least at 50% pool left. HP is skill issue or eating overheads due to lag. Or just unlucky trapper hitting through walls.
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
Needs ammo? You get a free round every time you kill 9 heretics in melee 
If we take a player with stable connection and minimal lag, eating overheads is in most cases a skill issue
yes its sarcasm because of the dumbass comment about arbites not being a free carry class because it might need ammo
lmao
To be fair, sometimes the lag is how it didn't hit me as well. Only Tzeentch knows what is going on.
I concede that
Tzeentch caused the lag
Sometimes we take hits that simply shouldn't happen
Who knows. If it amuses him, it happens.
my favourite is mutants grabbing me when they're like 5m away, on the opposite side of the arm they grab you with
That one poxwalker that walked up behind you to bodyblock while all 8 maulers decided to throw overheads one after the other...
Yeah annoying stuff like that
This is normal, like eating an overhead 3 knoife dodges away.
Or like .. you get netted through a fucking container because that is apparently not solid for net projectiles
i cant imagine how that is for you since shit like this will still happen to me even on a good connection
I mean, netted through a wall happens.
@hybrid plover Hitbox issues.
Throw a d100.
It is extremely annoying
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
Happens to any class.
I know cos that BS also hits me alot.
Bigger hitbox yes
And I'm on a human class.
you've also said you're on high ping though
no?
300 + usually. Unless local.
Going from 5 ping to 300+ is funni.

You go from near point blank mutie dodges to having to dodge like a distance away.
And is still a gamble.
Rubberbanding too?
lol
Trying to clutch then is hell.
Everything is teleporting and I might randomly DC and you are all dead?
Yes.
GDI.
the friendly moments of the cadian veteran make all of the shouting worth it
funny net moment where a sliver touches you and therefore you get netted 
most obnoxious shit ever in darktide, I have to say out of experience of dealing with it
it's the fact that it looks like the net actually goes around the corner too
I hope they include a fix for auric in the patch they do soon
getting tired of this lol
you discovered hit boxes 

Ring the bells a specific number of times in order. Or complete the secret auric only hard mode, will also unlock the bell skip.
Someone hosting it with the skip.
i see
Then you win it.
what is the skip
You see a string of numbers in the middle of the run?
no 
Write that down and ring all the hidden in plain sight bells in order to that.

if I just join someone who has it unlocked i dont gotta do all that?
okay, then its just boss fight right
Mhm.
hmm
Extra bs, extra hard.
but isnt there a penance for doing the "puzzle"
do I get that by joining someone elses game
You get it as well if you beat the secret hard mode.
oh nice
Or just do the puzzle.
extra fun
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
I happened to QP into it and a random did the hard mode and we still did it

shrimple as
or just do the not very difficult puzzle
lol
I mean, some guy asked for it on heresy, we were 3 man and offered to try auric hard mode for them.
First try, all of us laughing.
yeah but I have to clear the fight anyway to get the secret difficulty cleared penance
so might as well just join someone and get them both at once
instead of doing the puzzle myself
and rely on someone having it when you could do it yourself
yeah? and?
Thing is, nobody hosts that other than if you request Ainz.
Most newbies just want a clear and will even just drop to uprising for help.
also when you say skip , it skips the entire mission and you just have secret mode fight?
The last fight.
damn I didnt know you could skip the map
You lose out on the mats though.

theres plenty of time to farm mats
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
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
Is why I do not vet on high ping there.
Moment Rodin wants to shoot me, I'm dead.
also their shield burst can and will kill people in that arena
not hard mode related
but it will happen
Warning is too late to dodge.
its easy enough on auric
You forget 300+ ping.
the hard part on auric is just someone getting swarmed by ragers and maulers and not paying attention because they are fixated on twins
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
also ive noticed pbb achyls absolutely destroy the shields, on auric at least
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
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?
Uprising? Yeah.
Or just Google a guide.
yeah il check it on yt
The number of rings is always the same.
in havoc too
it always has been; same for captains
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
all it takes is a good build
and tbh; its kinda non-obvious for achlyss
when i show the build to ppl they are most of the time surprised
the AMMO tho
actually probasbly fine
if it's just a melee build that coincidentally takes PBB+Achlys
rending not fire?
i mean mk4 cleaver on its own is good; tenderizer & slaughterer so you can deal with singular elites by spamming special - light - light
cause crushers only; fire is better but you lose to crushers hard so you go for rending
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
your ability is for quick dps in important situations
not enough points; you need soo many in the right side you can atleast afford no hurting friends
isnt fire better into bulwarks also
like your pbb is just dead if theres a bullwark wall with rending right
yeah fire would be better into everything except for crushers and captains
Any dot is at least servicable into Bulwarks
it is; but you lose to crushers and you wont penetrate through them so anytime they will come you will lose hard cause they just body block you
Ofc Electrcity Dot is bestest coz stunlock
Why I instantly missed serrated blade when I went another build.
do you improve much against crushers with rending node though, how much rending does it give you again
Yeah, for such a small tick it massively pulls its weight against a lot of targets
twin link always was loosing if there are multiple bulwarks yes but thats what you'll have to cope with - or wait till they open up by attacking
Shock Maul is very worth playing for anti-shield properties against those enemies tho
Was the only think making bulwarks less bs.
15%; its enough to be better than fire
Try Shock Maul, seriously, the thing can do work
especially when you get cornered
If you have Serrated also, funny double DoT
Nu. Knoife.
flesh tearer prob, not lacerate
its nice but maul is 2 slow for serrated to be perfect on its own
both good
Yeah you need the attack speed node for sure
also I guess taxe is great with serrated too
Its still surprisingly competant tho
unfortunately, I cant afford serrated on my ws build
Mercykiller. Runs away.
unless i dont take shredders maybe, or if i dont take shout
Thats probably the move in all honesty coz serrated just straight up removes the conditional damage aspect what Precognition has
No need to dodge and its already gonna have bleed stacks as soon as you hit it, straight profit
Is Precog' any better?
cant you take ft and uncanny strike on knife vet
I thought Finesse = Weakspot (ofc crit as well)
yeah finesse is crit and weakspot
yes; always has been
This is my secret not so secret terrible build I use seriously.
lemme pull out mine so I can compare
it just straight up one taps scab gunners if you hit a headshot right?
You technically have 2 free points in Field Improv and Born leader.
and for sure vs that build 
unlike plasma
i dont like those 
Is why I'm mentioning you have 2 points to dump somewhere.
right
its not about 1 taps; its about what it can do overall; in havoc you should not pay attention to breakpoints that much due to numbers being so high; its about efficiency
other than that what does the boltgun offer over plasma?
better fx
i only pull it out to snipe gunners/reapers that are too far away for dueling sword
the noises it makes are significantly more appealing
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
Cos I know some ppl hate them. But is like, I can have serrated and WS while getting survivalist and gold shout.
better dps, better ammo economy, better boss dmg, better reload (if you use tac reload which you should), better longevity (due to heat mechanic for plasma; 8 shots and your ability to delete shit is lowered cause you have to vent)
this is how I setup ws, mainly because I need the ws penance
Use this with Boltgun & thank me later 
I did it on my 'nadier build. XD
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
no desperado?
That was lazy 2 reload? Get it.
Or just learn to reload cancel or just time reloads better.
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
Ah. I CBA. Get lucky or die, yes?
NOT NEEDED 
But might be crazy dodge spam.
grenade tinkerer is good on shredders right
I took out a 5% crit node and +25 toughness node to pick up one motion and tac reload instead
will try how that goes
Yes, with bistol Lethal...
Boom room yes!
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
on what build?
I knoife with Trench Fighter lul.
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
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
it is
Not really, lul. That build isn't a boss killer.
trust me you dont need desperado nor 2 other talent nodes on the right
thats true, and buffing shredder nades is more fun, but 25 toughness and more dmg to ogryns is pretty good
i spend most of my time as melee though
isn't that a substantial loss to take those two nodes out
True, is more playstyle, I like boomies!
change that; your main job is to be on overwatch vs specials & ranged units & kill stuff at range
ofc not 
im gonna go full nade build after I finish the ws penance and I drop keystones from vet
already do, plasmagun does an easy job of that though
I like the melee boom style.
Okay I get the "main job" thing but in practice you just end up in melee anyways
:^/
ye but desperado is not needed; trust me
I would rather have desperado over Field Improv tbh
field improv will save your games
Have both!
ppl underestimate it
Cos pubs are dumb and never use them?
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
This is what some do btw.
https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/17311624869725861484/044F90E83E3A6FB78A55C0E5295577E8960AF8B2/ This should show off how good the build is
Normal boltgun stuff
LOL is this h40
the only boss you dont do that is regular captains; you can do the same as i did to plowgryns in the vid above to twins
Nobody cares in lower diffs. You won't be accepted into havocs though.
yup
hahaha, thats funny build
believe me if that would be normal i would not be recommending my build over other boltgun builds 
Dual commissars with field improv is still the funni thing.
i WISH this was normal but its not cause ppl dunno how 2 build
Was this not being directly compared to that plasma ds build
Was someone just going to drop boltgun in for plasma or smth
what node would you use if you wanted to skip field improv
it is; the whole discussion revolved around boltgun vs plasma; comparing potatoes to rice however is rough
If ur going boltgun then hell no you don't need desperado LMFAO
you dont wanna skip field improv
and doesn't boltgun chew through ammo? how do you handle ammo economy
by doing what every good player should be doing in this & other games
MICROMANAGING
Unless you play really low diffs... a good use of kits and crates is a godsend.
what primary do you go for? and can you send the perks for both weps
8 SHREDDERS, 4 NUKES
SURE GIMME A SEC
OK ♥
IF the crates spawn and you find them
They could also just spawn at the absolute final event of the mission
BOOMZ!!!
Or on the pathway to extract
thats why you scavenge & not speedrun through the map lmao we had that conversation before boi; this is not a race
that's literally how the spawns work in havoc
if you dawdle it throws more shit at you to get you to keep moving
lmao no; its a random chance
Boom your way through the Dreyko exit. Boom moar.
KABOOM!!!
do you have time now tho? i can just show you EVERYTHING in the VC
yeah sure I might get a work call at some point though
Should not take long
RAAAAH AURIC EXEMPLAR
That's not the alt-f4 achievement, right? That's ASS.
That's the one below ASS
Still alt-f4?
10 normal aurics without dying
Ah. Yes.
You can't alt-F4 either anymore to my knowledge
I am NOT touching the auric maelstrom with a ten foot pole
ASS is probably easier
Don't like the modifiers
5 less missions to get shit teammates or barreled 
Yup
5 auric maels.
I've found quite a good build I think
They count to auric exemplar as well.
It suits my playstyle I love toughness regen and helping my team
Cover Fire is goated I love it
Just find easy maels. Plenty of hound missions pop up lol
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
Love that talent. I think most peopel don't even notice.
Focus Fire with toughness regen
40% toughness back with I fucking kill a shotgunner I tag
And my teammates regen toughness with me too
Laspistol at head height through a crowd of poxers makes zealots happy.
Then they tell you that you suck.
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.
the...gun with no cleave?
Dunno. Makes zealot not die.
Same.
Two cover vets
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.
Shock mines, BTL, lone wulf.
I'm a beast with the ogryn idk why
Can clutch even with crazy DC lag if you get lucky.
Max defense slab shield
Rumbler
If you expand into bigger booms and fire booms on the right side of the tree it's golden
*That.
I think I use .... single shot stubber? I don't really use guns a lot on that one.
Rumbler is so good
You will get hate if you just Rumbler and steal all ammo.
I don't steal all the ammo
I take some
Most of the time it's taunt and shield doin the talking
"Da biggest can't get hate, cuz he's da biggest. And meanest."
The rumbler WILL clutch
Bosses? Ezpz if you spam it with adhesive charges and shrapnel
That's bleed and burn on the boss
maybe the little people should use guns that deserve ammo over the rumbler
oh wait
the shock mace burns through their shield, too. The secondary is great.
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
I really don't know why I haven't just blocked everyone who plays rumbler oggy with that kind of attitude.
Artillerygryn
rumbler is just like that
it's like a psyker that eats all the ammo on the map to kill everything
Staff psyker ftw
And they are clearly both unfun to play with either way.
yeah
I've been told good players don't use ammo ever. they also never get hit. And always melee.
I keep blowign up
I have three levels left on Psyker. Then I am never touching it again,
I'm told good players don't go to the toilet they just shit themselves while playing darktide
::chikabowow::
I think they are
well yes ofc
Can you imagine the smell in some of those places? Like the hab blocks with fifteen rotting corpses and like, literal mounds of puss?
Darktide coma theory
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.
all in addition to the general aroma of a hive city
him
dreg ragers are cool
I almost forgot they are admonition
mostly because I keep forgetting scab ragers exist
they seem weirdly less frequent
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
also isnt there one enemy type thats missing a counterpart
mauler yeah
dreg maulers when
dregs also don't have shooters
all of their ranged fodder are Stalkers
(which are more dangerous)
those autogun potshot guys dont count as shooters?
Aren't they basically block fodd- citizens of the imperium?
they are
yes
The moebian sixth is the actual soldiers.
they are a cult, scabs are traitor guardsmen
Yes the Moebian 6th are Soldiers.
And more importantly, they are an Imperial Guard Regiment.
They aren't PDF
They're Stalkers
Ooooh. Right.
Scab Stalkers are these guys
why do you say stalkers are more dangerous than shooters
They're more aggressive and shoot much faster. Plus they resist suppression
dreg stalkers resist suppression?
All stalkers do
fs what even is the relevance of suppression anymore
Dreg Stalkers used to be immune to suppression
Suppression is good into gunners
Even a tiny amount of it will make them lose accuracy when shooting
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
Yeah beause it isn't unless you're a gunlugger or arbites
Who get +25% damage into suppressed enemies
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.
No
Suppression is unrelated to stagger
Booo.
omg I genuinely cant tell if ive seen this guy ever in a game or not, its all a blur 
You probably see them but don't really think about them
They usually only spawn alongside shotgunners and bulwarks
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.
genestealer speculation is like
a daily occurence on this discord
which I approve of
Maybe just a small geneetaler infection?
There is no such thing as a small genestealer infection
Like you know ... maybe somethign in the underhive.
Given the scale of Hives
Some natural caverns, gnarly ecosystem ...
well, itd be decent fit, also its a cool faction they can give limelight on, kinda like arbitrators
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!
lore appropriate?
random gameover
Maybe the NPC we're guarding gets ganked?
Or they shred Wolfer!
Into tiny little ribbons.
Wolfer will most likely just get sacrificed in one way or the other by the Admonition because he has proven to be useless
Or become an "asset" to Rannick.
That's my prediction, we suddenly have to help him because he knows stuff.
I don't think Rannick is that radical
Or Grendyl for that matter
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.
I also would not be surprised if at some point down the line zola gets corrupted and joins the traitors
so much copium, the story will never get this far xdd
it will, just gotta wait 10 ish years
Hope may be the first step to disappointment, but a Guardman without hope is as good as dead.
I don't Zola think is that kind of material
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.
🧍
Isn't the entire allusion here that Wolfer is her brother
Well it's actually that Wolfer is probably her brother
Amd then they lay on the whole "importance of siblings" bit hella thick in the ritual mission
"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!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
well in that mission it was because they were crucifying one of the Karnaks to try and summon an Unclean One
We dunno what they were doing
Jo's spitballing occasionally hits but other times it leads to
That.
Guy crucified did kinda look like a KArnak.
Makes sense.
oh nice, where do they say that
also is that like dead rodin, or did rodin survive the orthus mission
ik rinda did
Specifically the power of the sibling bond was the quoted prophecy
During the other carnival mission
If they turn Zola chaos, they better not make her fanservice pretty.
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.
Well it was Rodin Karnak. Now it is just the corpse of Rodin Karnak.
oh thats dark communion yes
- 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
Epic.
Wolfer being salty is the most fun part of it.
"It is time for the three to meet."
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
My personal theory is that admonition is being backed by hereteks
No hes very dead
At least the nobility.
he was just sleeping
but rinda is alive?
The guy talking to Zola has the hoity toity accent.
Rinda survived and the same lady that's yapping did some augments on her or whatever
i see
On that mission? Its Rannick.
and youre saying that sibling bond quote is also from dark communion?
She's probably huffing the Admonition Stims now.
i def missed it
Yes. Referring to Rodin and Rinda Karnak
No. the guy who also taunts Morrow.
is it in the gibberish they speak or do they actually say it
What guy
The very loud and very clear admonition lady says it
hes the guy that calls him a blowhard in one of the hourglass missions
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.
yeah that guy
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
And it very clearly referrences Rinda and Rodin Karnak.
^
Because Rodin is being used in the ritual.
Yes.
Basically
But that means the prophecy is unfufilled
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
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.

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)
Yes.
Moebian Domain Regiments could be deployed elsewhere, yes, as can all Imperial Guard Regiments.
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
Most if not all of them are stuck fighting the darktide
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.
You know ... maybe that's why she's still alove. Rannick is keeping her as a doule agent.
She's no double agent.
And yet people still scream about it from the hills that "its just a theory"
Pretty much everyone knows she's an Inquisitorial Operative by now.
and theyve already literally implied zola has some kind of agenda with wolfer, her whole orthus offensive missions was about her "obsession" with wolfer
Explicator is one rank below Interrogator.
^
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."
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.
Oh yeah, so since we're all acolytes ... are we the same as the guys guarding the mourningstar?
No.
What are they?
Everyone in the Warband is an Acolyte, that is a general term.
Ah, gotcha.
Right. And Rannick is making an effort not to learn our names.
Which means, yes, both Rannick and Zola are also still Acolytes.
Which means we might be like, minorly not terrible at what we do.
What
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
"An effort not to learn names" = he expects you to die
Cause the guards are super nice to me.
The dialogue changes as you go up in trust
Yes.
especially melk
Exactly. So at some point we're not just rejects.
Most of the Guards will be friendly, but the other characters reaction depend on your background.
you wanna bash melks head in when your low level
We're valuable rejects.
Rannicks own words.
Exactly. Valuable.
expendable
completely expendable still
Melk also does not like the Fanatic Zealot.
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.
Remember Rannick doesn't give out praise. And everyone is expendable. Like, your average guardsman isn't "scum" because they're expendable.
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.
Im pretty sure they dont see us valuable at all , just tested and proven
He does make a pretty sincere plea to Masozi.
Right. Tested and proven assets.
You don't throw those away mindlessly.
As long as we remain useful, he will keep us alive because we can be of further use.
In dark communion he's like "well its too late to send backup so do your best."
the imperium does that all the time 
its like their go to strategy
true enough, but the Inquisition works differently.
So do Rogue Traders by the way.
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.
Thats about par for the course actually
that sounds nice to me
rinda chaos spawn
That is because as much power as the Inquisition has, they rely very much on being able to exert that Power
You don't groom someone like Rannick just to chuck 'em. It's very uneconomical.
And everyone else conceding to it.
if they do like a big grendyl reveal and then rannick just usurps him in the next scene
You have immense expectations as an interrogator
Grendyl is also hiding his
Condition from Rannick, iirc
Condition?
diabetes?
Something similar
Some say he is similar to Sefoni.
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.
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
Yes
So grendyl ... Is a ship
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"
yeah and kharib isnt seen anywhere because hes tending to grendyl, since hes cursed
Even Rannick does not know he is on the ship
Do be like that i guess.
In other words we are playing
Pirates Of The Caribbean:
The Dark Tide
Brunt is missing
I would like Grendyl being some psyker that's slowly being nugrled.
" GRENDYL IS SHIP? YESSS BOSS!"
Pensive emoji
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
brunt being missing is kinda random, it doesnt tie into anything yet right
Yet
well
I hope hes a named plague ogryn boss
and we get to put him to peace with brunts special 
I hope admonition turns him into a big combat servitor
I am fully on the train of "admonition are backed by the dark mechanicum"
Brunt saw too much so grendyl transorm him into big battle ... roomba
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
i dunno but
if it is dark mechanicum its yet another reason to give me admech themed class next
Like even Hadron and Kayex are like

"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"
when the lore has lore about the lore
I need skitarii immediately
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
Mhmhm yes... Rad-poisoning.
main reason I want skitarii is because skitarii banter in dt style would be so dope
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.
arbitrators dont have much banter with the other 4 yeah, but their individual voicelines are still great
Outside of a lot of them being buggy or having wrong subtitles.
also they do say like, arbitrator stuff and not boring stuff
And the Fatalist constantly lexing about.
Skitarii are basically mechanicum zealots
The Lex is the Lex!
So I have a feeling we will get 2 talkative ones and one that is just binaric screeching
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"
servoskull class or i kill myself
Maul is just excited
" I . AM. ADAMANT"
I hope everyone who asks for servoskulls fucking explodes
The Authoritarian at least has style.
Inefficient use of ammo. MANDATED EDICT : PSYCHIC RECONSTRUCTION
The fuck are servoskulls supposed to do? All I ever see is "play the game for you" and "be a turret"
Not being a complete nutcase helps with that.
SKittari that sends servoskull as skill like sienna sends skull as pyromancer 
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.

but Maul screaming, " QUUAAAAILLL BLOCKFODDERRR" in the most guttural hateful voice youve ever heard does something for me
Any excuse to not interact with the systems of the game.
Pyromania. Mandated Edict: Three years of service in polar labour camps.
no
You wouldn't want a Scion
I very explicitly want a scion
You'd just get a less pissed off Arbitrator.
scion boring, drip cool
Not ganeplay wise
isnt scion drip already in the game
i see
For scions they would literally be the gaurd but with more weapons (I want the fucking hotshot las already)
Or this
Scions being "better gaurd" is like the entire reason they butt heads with the gaurd in lore
whats next? they want a krieg grenadier? also I do agree on hotshot las, it should be a thing in the game
I mean, Tempestus Scions are better than the Guard.
after krieg grenadier we want our ogryn to be an elysian drop trooper
i would have assumed an enforcer class earlier, but i think thats kinda irrelevant now that they gave us arbitrator
Moat enforcers tend to be ex criminals themselves
I have a feeling we'll be getting some shitty ganger next though
also one of the psykers is an enforcer
*was
They got arrested or whatever
Very lucky time to be arrested tbh
I don't reckon their life would have continued very far afterwards
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.
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.
no
KASRKIN/SCIONS RAAAAAAAAAH
HELLGUN LASGUN
I think "shock trooper" as a class could be cool
Just running around with comically large guns
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
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
guys
What do you think of my Sergeant Leland Coyle build ?
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9fa3fc98-ccf1-4354-862d-c62738b2d549/sergeant-leland-coyle
He's the warden guy from outlast trials that shocks you
We're the inquisition could be fuckin' anything
Literally
yeah but like
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 
probably some criminal type
Doesn't even have to be imperium depending on Grendyl's standards
criminal type is the only archetype missing i guess, but thats kinda iffy considering the rejects are all convicts
Yup.
The Inquisition can do almost everything.
And everything when no one is looking.
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.
Give me pyro class
I want revenge and make whole ground burn like flamers/bombers do
Flamers need more ammo. For sure.
That would not solve the inherent problems that this weapon has.
Or some crit build where you don’t use as much ammo?
I could see a Novitiate especially since were attached to a Rogue Trader and also the Inquisition. One of the Sisters 'neophytes' effectively.
That’d be cool.
Since we can get Arbites it wouldn't be out of the picture to see a Hospitaller Neophyte from the Sisters
We have one already.
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.
Same, I like Hestia and Alice the most of the gang
whats a fachidiot
Imagine they actually do this but only allow other SM to queue with you, and there's like x5 amount of enemies and/or bigger threats than usual
That'd be silly
it would be, FS has confirmed explicitly that there wont be space marines
playable or as antagonists
which I for one heavily approve of
I'd like to get some sort of more automated class or so?
id like a admech themed class yeah
You know, turrets and the like
dunno about turrets and things, but just having a playable admech character in dt would be cool
they didn't specify if there will be no antagonist space marines
Which I am so fucking happy about
they specifically mentioned OUR space marines
We aint fighting deathgaurd lil bro get it out your head
Fuck turrets why do people want turrets
also we have evidence for nurgle space marines being teased
Yes I too saw the single frame from a jo video
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
yeah man it's not like Nurgle is known for being one of like 2 factions that uses drones
You mean other than the tau and votann and mechanicum fire wasps and the necrons and imperial drones and
"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
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...?
they have
Originally posted by Fatshark Hedge:

You
You posted a plague drone
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
