i mean true
dreg gunners and that motherfucker right there
maniac is for auric tho
for havoc, without DA u can't get 1 taps on flamers
and even with DA u kinda have to cope with WS + deadshot cuz can't afford surgical
an level of copium not healthy for most people
there is no gaslighting with unarmored perks
there's a reason you want that on some weapons
tox bombers being a very, very, very major reason
collateral is dump on this gun
so just to saftey proof my self how much have i fucked up on this lol?
iv tried that and dont like it i will be sticking with my mobility dump
too bad collateral does legit nothing on this gun
u don't gain any notable stagger breakpoints with it
Mobility doesn't do much either right
mobility allows u to run 0.2m/s faster
it really doesnt and i get occasionally staggers i dont desreve lol
ok wait is power sword not spam energy light?
it is
Only with sunder blessing u heavy attack
depends
explain
they said "Only with sunder blessing u heavy attack" you said depends
with sunder u can heavy atk mutant to get fewer hits to kill depending on the dmg buffs active
most other enemeis not worth using heavy attack
ah, so big boys get sunder small frys get energy lights?
heavy atk does have better distribution of dmg than light atk
Sunder only works with heavy energised attacks right
push atk big guys
wdym
sunder has 2 parts
Ahh
sunder is x0.25 mass considered of enemies hit by energized attack
which is essentially x4 cleave
it also allows u to cleave through carapace
meaning ur swing doesn't get stopped by mauler head, scab rager torso, crusher, and bulwark shield
thats usefull
it's one of the fastest in the game for killing mauler waves
ok so maybe thats where my non enjoyment of the power sword was coming from
gawd your fov always throws me off so much
"it could be better" is the best thing I can say abt it
nah it needs to have good stagger with cleave
🗣️
ah
Built Different™
Karking heretics.
Chain Axe is life
Yeah sure 
Despite its limitations its potent
But you do wdym 
If you want i can show you how to use it well tonight 
current maelstrom is extra poxbursters on gloriana
the first catwalk is...interesting
especially with arbites who cant stop throwing their dog at bursters
I like extra poxbursters
and that particular maelstrom combo
exspecially on gloriana
i just hold back and enjoy the show
someone will inevitably blow themselves over a ledge
the arbites class has made me dislike it
it's funny when everyone has a chance of getting blown off the map
it's not so funny when it's always the arbites throwing their dog at a poxburster and getting everyone else killed
Stay away from them
you
And revel in the carnage
kind of can't.
Oh you can, just stay behind.
on that narrow catwalk
yes, even there it is possible
If you can't, find some cover and break line of sight
that should protect you from the explosion
"should"
Of course.
instead of just eating the explosion
because the dog will just throw the poxburster in a direction that can put it behind whatever you attempt to take cover in and blow you away anyway
i really just wish they would disable the ability for dogs to pounce poxbursters in general
though this is also attributed to the fact that there's a lot of not so aware players playing that particular class because it's just so easy to play that they don't realize why doing that is a problem
D-III-VII-IX-G is just a lot of fun
Yes, most Arbitrators have no idea what they are doing
I think it is too, but that one thing has been actively hurting my enjoyment of it unfortunately.
i usually love poxburster mods on gloriana but the past few times?
Then again, same is true for most players
Equal amounts of bad players on all classes I just think bad arbies are overrepresented cause he's new
Nah there's a science to it
Arbitrator is just such a braindead easy class to play that it actively keeps a bad player from actually getting better because there's not as much punishment for them making a bad play
And then there's the dog thing, where i've seen a lot of arbitrators lately ping poxbursters for their dogs to pounce them, not realizing that dog + poxburster interactions are buggy as fuck
and it's not as clear cut as knowing that shooting the poxburster will be an issue
Dog pushing the pox bursters towards me 3 times In a row
I just wish they made the dog unable to target pox bursters or at least a setting for it
it won't target them unless you ping them
They do tag them tho… thats what has been discussed here
that's a skissue then
As I don't even own the arbites dlc it is entirely out my control when the arbites dog pushes a bursters back into me.

not the dogs fault, its the player who controls it lol
@hybrid plover The interaction between Dog and Poxburster is not buggy. They jump it and push it. I take a guess and assume its so they don't randomly pounce it and kill it.
Dogs will never attack poxbursters on their own, you have to give the command to do so.
In a way, this is meant to avoid the dog accidentally killing it.
The side effect is an unexpected push followed up by chip damage from other sources with leads to unfortunate explosions
And then there are those dunderheads who actively shoot poxbursters while someone is standing next to them
May those glaikit operatives crash and burn
lads, what's the upside of running the combat axe?
and which mark do you guys like using
rashad
and it hit head
and people die
brutal momentum abusing axe
and its got good damage across the board on everything else pretty much
how does it compare to smth like the shovel? cuz I tried it but its super slow swings are throwing me off
better in every way
that's shovel slander and some people will disagree but they're wrong
I think the only other weapon Ive used that swings that slow is the heavy eviscerator but zealot gets attack speed buffs w/ martyrdom so I dont notice it
damn I was loving the shovel
Nah; need att spd & brutal to make caxe work otherwise is oof
Vet gets Attack speed on the way to weapon specialist
Not every build needs nor wants WS
I've been running without it for aeons so im just used to it but yeah its chonk
the trench one right? I did grab that

other than martyrdom or FotF on zealot you'd have the same baseline attack speed
top is just krak grenades
Basically; its nice if you can afford the WS & many talents you spend to get there, otherwise use shovel
then I gotta change my build
cuz Im doing every weapon's mastery
yeah no I hate the power sword too
strong but arguably the most annoying weapon to use
Exploit weakness only for taxe; build could be slightly better mah man
kraks are for da penance
always can be
Too clunky; kills you when you get cornered cause no CC

just the armoured enemy kills?
fr, plus the constant slow down of having to activate it every so often
yeah, if you could maintain its charge by killing or something I dunno
just replace power sword w/ relic blade

for basically getting the same effect as just playing Rashad
mhm
Rashad atleast has a good push att that stops ragers
PS is baren in that regard
iirc you want brutal momentum/headtaker on axe, with unarmoured to make sure you 1 tap heads on the tougher shittos
fair nuff
Btw mah man; when will you unblock me


Pepega 
its entertaining to have to click on "show"
Having to play fully corrupted is also entertaining.
It's pretty easy to slander shovel
💀
Quite the mid weapon
Until they try it; but its hard going ‘off meta’ for some ppl and thats ok 
PS; its usually the same ppl who complain later on that the game has not much to offer 
And then they abandon the game altogether 
What do you mean the game is boring when i one-shot everything and there is no challenge because of it.
Example.
Rotten Armor.
The dreadful modifier aka ‘Nice breakpoints You have there; 2 bad Your build is mid once they are taken away from ye’

breakpoints shmeakpoints
What is this break point I hit enemies until they're dead, if they don't die I hit them more.
Exactly; a healthy ogryn tier logic i approve 
But..MY BREAKPOINTS!!
My break(ing) point is all this talk about breakpoints
I am a dad after all, gotta live up to the responsibility and stay sharp!
Those eyeballs don't roll themselves
I still think I can have better breakpoints on Tactical Axe
3 hit vs a havoc 40 Crusher still not enough


..bUt mY bReAkPoInTs
who needs breakpionts when you have enough lasgun shots to jumpstart a dying star
Power sword is quite a bit better at boss burst damage and mixed horde
Volley one, volley two! its gone
Sorry but i find this .. almost obsession really.. on breakpoints just hilarious
She has big shoulders
we're the B.J. Blazkowiczs sisters
Anyone have a good multi purpose lasweapon build for me on Veteran (one with which i can use the laspistol, the infantry lasguns and the recon lasguns)?
Question for you all is there anywhere other than here that I can check so I can get build ideas and see various information regarding perks and such?
Darktide YouTuber Reginald has a whole excel sheet mapping lots of stats and weapons and builds
hello hotties
i have one, maybe two, possibly even three questions.
- is the dumpstat for the combat knife mobility?
- is uncanny and flesh tearer best for a mk6?
- what is the combo for the knife? i know it's not l spam
Yes, no, heavy spam for horde and push attack for single target
Bleed isn't really worth it
Precog + ripsote/uncanny will get value
But if you were to use bleed make sure to use uncanny with it
for mk3 it's light spam
with bleed
bleed not worth on mk6
This
I use the Mk3, Light Attack spam is your horde control option
yeah light spam and push sometimes
PA's work good yee
Since i havent gotten any answers from the crowd imma ask the living darktide dictionary
@steep flower do you have one?
Anyone have a good multi purpose lasweapon build for me on Veteran (one with which i can use the laspistol, the infantry lasguns and the recon lasguns)?
Darktide dictionary 😂
On my vet knife I run uncanny with riposte or precog
The mk is whatever you like the most
that's the only female face people use because it's at least somewhat bearable to look at
all my 3 fem characters have that face
The guy knows sooooo much about the game. He earned that title
I have my main chaxe + lasgun build
gimme one min
Mk3. You don't want a bleed blessing on mk6. But if you wanted to do a bleed Mk3, lacerate is the more consistent option if you don't have anything helping your crit chance.
Reciprocity does technically help for flesh tearer but you need to build the stacks before you can actually get use out of it
Since vet has base 30% crit with desperado and even that feels lacking for flesh tearer sometimes
here ya go
I dont respond to those kind of questions
I have fun with it
idc
dumped stability too?
me running a serrated flesh tearer knife so I don't have to care about breakpoints 
What seems to be the ruckus?
Could be slightly better but i see an idea 
In terms of performance; you should
In terms of answering to such ‘questions’ as above; i agree 
Me need all purpose lasweapon build for Veteran pweeeasaase
Coming home
I am currently at work too. Will be Home in an hour and play a few games with the emperors lightbulb
Thx
Whatyu guys do for work
I print and ship stuff
assault chainaxe of darkness and despair?
I don't play much beyond heresy and damnation anyway
I dont need efficiency
I will think about it when I want to play maelstorm
assault chainaxe of grinding armor&flesh
but you're an engineer
Why you wanna know? It is not like you’re looking for smth right?
im bored at work 😭
U do realize ur named moebian iron?
I like his pile of steel pipes pfp
much industrial, very metallic.
Yes? That was my point, also my surname is demir, that's why I named myself that way
I'm still a student atm so it doesnt work on me 
lol
I am waiting for my phd position to start. In the meantime i work in Security
No. I sit at the desk of the university library in the afternoon after the librarians fucked off to Feierabend, babysitting the facility and the students within it, answering stupid questions like "why cant you turn on the AC" ? (We dont have one, because of "protecting the climate").....
It ain't steel so I thought mistranslation
Fair nuff
Are you the guy who checks my id nevertheless even If I showed it to security in the uni entrance?
Saw it later but I wanted to chat, I work with my friend who founded a company, planning to launch an online psychology service app soon
new to the game and choose the veteran class, is this class worth putting time into?
What kind of operative you want?
Task failed

if ur expecting a ranged focused class, play psyker
like vet is fine, it does fine but every other class is "better" at what it does than veteran
I am now realizing that
It kind of depends on your playstyle
I picked professional vet as my first character and never dropped him
well I like the close quarters and gun slinging player
Vet
Or arbited maybe
arbites

why shout when castigators
why vet when dog is better
why marksmans stance when EO does the same thing
so there isn’t a reason to be veteran class
exactly
there is, but if you want to focus more on specific parts, like ranged or melee
Because the guard
other classes do it better
I play veteran because its boss killing potential is very safe
so its funny
but thats the only build I really enjoy on it
veteran is the melee/ranged hybrid class and does hybrid better than most
I suppose melee then
Finally some normal criticism
if u want range focus play psyker
if u want melee focus play zealot / ogryn / arbites
Zealot, ogryn, arby pick your poison
Melee psyker is fun
Veteran identity Crisis
Literally
if u want ranged + melee hybrid play veteran
FGS 
on one hand you are entirely correct, on the other hand, you are saying this like its the way it should be
yes it is
it is how it should be
it does sound like veteran though
gun go bang
they're bros in the trenches of the 40k universe, they're probably fine with melee and gun
the eventual vet rework should have way more ranged power
erm actually your not supposed to use the unique melee weapons on vet at all
explode
I wish I exploded when I used power sword
Melee veteran? That not only sounds weird but also feels funny, are we sure Vet is supposed to melee willingly? Even when performing well it feels like a chore compared to other classes, Psyker included
it doesn't do it the best but its perfectly acceptable
sunder power sword among the fastest for mixed horde so yea
jack of all trades yada yada eepy sleepy
Activation mode simulator
I wish
"Melee + ranged hybrid" so yeah the normal fucking video game
somehow still better than relic blade
veteran should be to ranged what zealot is to melee
EVERYONE Is a ranged+melee class in the game
That I believe you, relic blade might be praised all day but it's power definitely is lower than the Psword
Infiltrate should play like Huntsman in VT2 go invis and start popping heads, VoC should be deleted entirely and replaced with BH pistol
big 2-handed sword has less cleave, lower damage and weaker stagger than 1-handed sword that turns off on its own
VoC should give thougness regen to the allies instead of piss toughness
It's called B4laNc3
Source: MorbidlyobeseShrimp
melee + ranged hybrid veteran fallacy and its consequences have been disastrous for Humanity and I really hope Fatshark remembers this and makes Veteran a ranged class again
no, hybrid is much better
pretty much every playtester I've talked to agrees on that with me lol
Let veteran embrace becoming the support class that gives buffs to a full team, from better gun damage to toughness regen while they are together like an actual squad, the best build for the class is basically support oriented anyway
every playtester who agrees with you is wrong
damn, kinda rude
Indeed
and true
Eeeeeeeh....
think you should lower the bar and start by talking to people who havent taken an ice pick to the head (not this chat) i think you will find they would all agree with this
The game is gun+melee, so every class should have skill on it, but where Psykers are AoE crushers, Ogryn are Crowd control, Arby are adaptable frontlines Veteran needs a similar niche to excel (Zealot not included because rework and also stinky)
Also also: we do need a new vet skill to let us pull a Hotshot lasgun to do a Rambo
Being the TF2 dispenser is not a niche of the class, is a build
tbh their niche before was they were useful and applicable to any situation
they were generalists good enough at whatever needed to be done that you wouldnt regret having one
other classes buffs and the addition of havoc being the point of reference just powercrept the bar for what is considered good
you could spec into just ranged, but you could spec into full melee too and not come up short
you could also do both very easily
why am i saying that in the past tense
thats still how he works
power creep is in full force with pretty much everybody in this game
The part where they didn’t quite agree was when I said veteran should have up to +50% atk speed if u meme build hard enough
So an all rounder should be their niche...but Arby already kinda took that, unless we can differentiate from frontline generalist and Back line generalist
name a more iconic duo path and proposing the most cooked numbers ever
Ok, that CAN'T be a serious proposal mate, I don't think I want Vet to be an anime sword protagonist
(hell, even now I'm still thinking they gave ogryn too much attack speed)
Quick question. I haven't played in ages, and when i did last time i always used plasma gun.
When i look at the masteries it seems like a lot of them boost heat buildup. But why would you want that? The faster your heat builds up, the faster you have to cool it down again and the less you can shoot.
What am i missing? Or am i reading it wrong?
do more damage at higher heat
why the priestess mewing on vox chat picture?
its about risk to return, also pretty sure light attacks can't make you overheat
so basically no risk
she has the most awesome jawline I have ever seen
yep
the nerd optimal setup involves very specific percentages to have the heat low enough to where you can slip 1 extra shot in, before needing to cool down again
its literally a breakpoint in what allows an extra shot, anything else past that doesnt really do much
light attacks will always emergency vent without making you explode
all the extra stats wont change anything there so the rest of that stat can go somewhere else
is it not better to just never pick those masteries up so i can shoot more?
But when do you prepare bayonets to repel the enemies of the Emperor in a suicide charge if you have that?
i dont understand this question whatsoever
its really not needed
and aint worth the dockets you will spend getting it imo
if i don't pick up the masteries, i don't build up heat as fast -> i can shoot more before i have to vent, right?
its not how the masteries work
your mastery is the mastery level of the weapon
you "collect" or obtain them, they're blessings that go on the gun
yeah the blessings
The blessings don't generate more heat iirc, they give you bonuses when you are in that high heat threshold
then when you unlock them on that screen, you can apply them into one of the 2 slots of the weapon itself at the crafting screen
^ 
actually i should start getting it
but yeah, they're only benefitting you
no reason to not have a gold weapon with 2 blessings that either work with your build or with the weapon, in plasma's case its going to generate heat no matter what you do
trench fighter (easier to access, melee only) 10%
arch militant (high investment, melee & ranged) 10%
competitive urge (RNG roll, melee only) 10%
weapon specialist (base nerfed from 15% down to) 10%
invigorated (promotes subnode investment) 10%
I have said worse
you have yes
in the original plan I sent to johnny u could casually reach 50% ranged crit chance on vet
before any blessing and perk comes into effect
ofc I'm gonna overshoot because they'll def nerf everything even if I say balanced numbers
shock trooper and a flavour of las gun would like that
Wait, you are suggesting changing those damage buffs to attack speed? Now that's even crazier that I expected
it's a tooltip error, none of them increase heat buildup
no that's where the 50% comes from in the plan I sent
up to 50%
if u meme build
thx
if i know that none of them are bad, then it's fine hehe
looking to be a hybrid supporter in damnation, this is my talent tree my weapons are chaxe and lasgun, can switch to chainsword if necessary
Still feel that the concept of the class should be aimed to be far from enemies but not allergic to melee, with the whole "DISTANCE is my shield, you are welcome to use it too"
what do you guys recommend?
I think if johnny is anywhere near sane it'd prob end up being up to 30%
I think that's part of a tree, could be wrong
maybe 40%? if that last 10% is smth RNG like competitive urge
Swap twin nades for the perk that gives you corruption healing on heal packs and frags on ammo packs, it provides more utility in a long run I feel
this talent below the shredder is a meme, i'm pretty sure
drop charismatic and GBITF
what are you suggesting?
theres not much you can do for support, you have most of the support talents, anything else beyond whats pictured here is just not worth the point, the rest of your points are better spent making yourself better because you wont be doing much with these passives if youre dead because you cant live or kill whats killing you
Don't know who Jonny is but probably you could get away with 40% if you are REALLY focusing on it, but I would prefer different boots than becoming a human blender, which is the Zealot role I think
get more 
those are unspent
dude
everything thats shown is whats placed
not funny
use more 
The one thing that Veteran donis support with extra resources, CC from frags and piss thougness, it's all its best build does
the middle keystone is support
i think focus fire is greatly overrated
do you think I should get keystones?
maybe, but it is supporting your team
It has some support implications, but is more a damage amp with some nice ribbons
and if that's the idea for the build - why not
yes, middle or right
theres only a few builds that dont because the weapons find too much value it some of the smaller nodes
so they forgo the keystones to save points for those
I really like the nodes on left tree
so I cant go right
Too bad Veteran can't afford them in this economy
u can prob tweak this
what about the ones below them?
99% of the time its being used by the vet himself to kill an alite in 1-2 fewer shots
the only time you actually see real value is against bosses, but lets be real, bosses arent really a threat anymore
is this considered a tweak?
Because I really like these nodes
Bosses aren't the menace, the trapper, flamer and bomber legions behind them are the real menace
what weapons are u using for this
I believe you
uh
frequent firing one
which is?
suppression immunity 💀
recon
infantry lasgun? recon?
What lasgun? Recon? Infantry? Helbore?
also yeah you dont need suppression immunity with a recon because it doesnt get suppressed like at all
oh mb forgot there were lasgun variants
u don't need suppression immunity with recon because u will suppress before u get suppressed
Suppression was a mistake of a mechanic it feels
why the skull?
uh
bring it down
marksman
focus target
target down
done
no, it's a great mechanic
No, it's about the 40000 warhammers
but being immune to suppression is a waste, idk why you'd ever take it
2 guns benefit from it
which ones?
Which ones?
Plasma and Brauto
inf las
revolver

Maaaaaaan, I wish Brautos were good
I'm not so sure about marksman
I never use voc with ranged weapons
like I'm always in the midst of melee when I use voc
who said it's for ranged
%20 strentg for 10 seconds on combat ability use?
it applies to melee weakspot hits too
hm
what gave u the impression that it's for ranged
okay
I'm tired, thought it was for only ranged
anyhow
time for a test run
Marksman implies for ranged use, also it's on the supposedly ranged side of the perk tree
Hate on the Helbore?! That's heresy
Some real crazy takes in there
yeah
it’s fine, it means the Helbore will be un-nerfable
The same Dueling sword simps that cry in a corner for nerfs to their carry weapon
avg Havoc 20 player
270 updoots
270 havoc 10 players
I wonder what these people would do if they found out the Helbore has infinite ammo, amazing breakpoints, punches through carapace, and eats bosses for breakfast.
They still think the draw speed is what’s killing the gun
this is peak darktide
More like Havoc 5 players, and I say that knowing that H20 players can be quite Garbo
this is a
game
naming conventions don't mean that much
Yeeeeeah, I'm learning that by the second
Btw folks, supposedly patch is tomorrow, what are your wants and wishes that ObeseFish will never fulfil?
fatshark naming conventions are great. just take the name, and assume it does the opposite of what the name implies
nerf vet
🙏
vostroyan helbore lasgun sight misalignment
arbites EO
ext & DB shotgun bracing causes aim shift
dog incorrectly triggers DH aggro
Asthmatic guy, the class
i assume EO will be fixed
surely
Probably...
what a silly shitpost. fatshark wouldnt do anything that dumb. theyd make it so using the medicae would restore 20% stamina
dog does DH agro stuff?

can it gain agro off someone? or is the dog walking through DH zone causing aggression build up
What the fuck am I looking at
dog attacking smth can randomly active DH even when ur nowhere near the DH
lmao
Peak DT players (they are Heretics)
As I said, Heretics
My head hurts.
That's Nurgle's brainrot setting it for gazing something so foul, take some prayers and a bolt to the head to ease it
Reddit is a magical place
Warp magic indeed
i swear that the post is made in the past when the helbore was slow as hell and we are the only ones that know its the best Vet weapon
yeah maybe OP is still playing last patch
as i said: warp magic
another lonely auric with everyone ragequitting
And matchmaking being broken so nobody is going to backfill
Really is incredible how much they managed to break the game before fucking off for a month
I wasn't even getting humans to begin with
i'd be heaving if my multiplayer game wasnt multiplaying properly lmao
How it feels being in an empty lobby for more than 5 minutes
Maybe Auric isn’t super fun?
Oh no it’s incredibly fun for me at least lmao
Mainly just veteran tends to Get drop kicked easier in solo situations
That's mostly because vet is underpowered
Does Born Leader talant literally only share 15% of toughness you heal to coherency? So if you at 100% and kill stuff, they get nothing? I wonder how it synergize to Confirmed Kill which restores toughness over time. Like, if you have a bunch of CK effects on you, and you are at 100% tougness - do you pass any to your comrades that are not at 100%?
no
nerf vet
woah, that's cool. so I'm actually more useful to the squad than I thought lol
tnx
Extremely good with shredder grenades
Yeah, I'm running a grenade-heavy build right now, with bolt pistol. So I've been a party healer all that time lol
is there some trick to doing the Powersword push attack stab? for the life of me i cant do the stab after a push attack
Are you using the right mark
Yeah mark VI
Block, push and hold left click
you have to hold
well i feel dumb, i was tapping left click
thanks!
I do remember there are weapons with attacks that only come out after a push, but not pushattacks
quirky
i mean it makes sense does it
every action is considered a part of the moveset, and thus will chain into something else when a light or heavy is used
yes, but I think most weapons will just do a Light 1 after a push
I think one of the pickaxes has something like that?
and there are attacks that can only be accessed from specific actions, like slides, equips, or a specific attack mid moveset
so its not outlandish
I suppose
VT2 has a weapon that changes attack pattern if you keep holding a heavy iirc
now that's quirky
something you'll never do organically
BASED CORE 
no, I misremembered, it's ever weirder:
Mace and Shield on saltz
PA -> Heavy does a H1 shield bash, BUT if you hold till the end of the animation, he will do the windup animation for shield bash, but change to a H2 hammer sweep at the last moment
...for some reason
This is the worst hahahhahaha
you wouldnt understand... youre not in the know with the havoc sweats....
Reddit is the dregs of the community I hate that place
insane posing 
I mean maybe crushers and monstrosities but like no enemies does he just want full trapper immunity?
Yes
Unironic suggestion that you should be immune to damage when trapped
enemy that does nothing
enemy that benefits you
Just make it corrupt you at double the speed dogs do trough toughness

trapper the weakest link on the team right at the start of the fight and never have to worry again

Frankly they should heal you
wrong reply
they should delete every enemy in the game except for groaners 
They should bring back the VT 2 trapper
Just kidnaps you and brings you across the map
clearly never played with smokes before 
Okay the shoot through enemy units. I'll let them cook on that.
Immunity to damage?
Yeah you've lost me there.
If it can't shoot through enemy units the trapper is useless
Cleave cap whatever
But the awful suggestions (there are like 4 more) are why I think they're lying
I do think it's a little bullshit when they can shoot through like, ten crushers sometimes. Maybe a cleave cap of some sort.
Not a full on, they can't shoot through.
But not being able to be damaged while trapped sounds so dumb.
Plus, you are not immune to damage at all while pounced by a dog wtf is this person talking about
Where the hell on this website do I try to join up with people for a game?
There are also party channels if you scroll down
Why would they, sMoKeS aRe BaD
Worst blitz in da game
But don't know that they're not immune to damage while pounced
Like, what
Like my dude have you even played Damnation
Yeah getting pogryn overheaded while dogged was pretty fun
100 health removed instantly 
Pounced by dog
The tox flamer:
chaos spawn overhead is fast enough to do it twice ;)
Nurgle spit feels like a free save sometimes
Oh no a bit of extra corruption and slowness anyways
Nurgle spit has the same relationship to me as mutants.
They can save you. Or be the literal worst thing in existence
Going from I love you mutant to I hate muties all in the same minute after you got mutant chained into a pox burster.

The mutant catching you as you're in cover trying to avoid a salvo from a gunner line in a Havoc 40
gunned down before you can even touch the ground
If there is any reason why I've started to love smokes as much as I do, that's a major one.
They have saved me from this exact scenario a bunch of times already.
Smokes are BOMB. Been loving them when they first released.
They're honestly replaced shredders for me at this point since I tend to run Helbore as long as I have Shocktroop, there honestly isn't any real need for survivalist for me
It's a tricky but very fun build to run and it's done me wonders in h40
I just saw the Helbore post, can you guys updoot it so Fatshark keeps buffing it? Thanks
Honestly if there is one thing I want FS to do, it's making it that aiming down sight charges the shot innately
I know there's a mod for it.
But that should just be a base function of the weapon imho
Nah; forced things are not well regarded
I get that. But this is the one case where I think it makes complete sense.
currently it discharges automatically if you hold for too long
One of the biggest things that makes the Helbore user unfriendly is how it fires.
I think it's ok as it is now, the sights are just bad
Could just make it that it specifically doesn't do that while aiming down sight. And even then, it takes so long that it doesn't really matter much in practicality.
sights can definitely be annoying to use
That I can agree on.
Had a psyker in our friend group who died 4 times in his heresy game say the reason we lost our auric run is cuz he wasn't there for crowd control
The real reason we lost is cuz that poxburster i pushed exploded instantly cuz he got knocked down by a mutant charge
is that a thing?
so unfortunate
it happned in less than a second that a mutie charged but he was already in front of the burster
but i guess its an AOE
Wait you guys were doing an auric run and he died four times in their heresy game?
Auric Heresy?
I'm confused.
We had helped him earlier in a Heresy run
in which he died 4 times
he then spectated our Auric game and said we lost cuz he wasn't there

okay
not to jump to conclusions
is this psyker a smite user perchance
yep
the archetype really does just make itself here
Helbore in H40? thats insane and cool
Helbore right now is very, very good.
i've yet to run the hellbore even tho i have a goddy one maxed out
Just requires a bit more deliberation as opposed to other ranged weapons.
I prefer the Recon las, atleast untill they give me my hotshot/Volley
And it's also one of the best ranged weapons to use if you want to go real heavy on melee.
I feel like im mostly in melee anyway as a bolter/revolver runner atm
helbore directly buffs your melee in a perculiar way
oh?
hot shot
hot shot 1 significantly increases your cleave on weak spot hits
by the number, every enemy that's hit in the weakspot has 20% of their normal hit mass
👀
this is
is that a bug
possibly
i know hot shot 1 working better than 4 is
whether it's supposed to have the interaction that it works on your melee weapon as well is another story
i want to say it is
actually thats not new right, bpistol perk works for grenades
yes
Helbore+Powersword teck?
i've been having too much fun with it and helbore cuz the mobility is so quick that it lets you easily reposition
and combined with smokes, it gives you the opportunity to get shots off that you usually couldn't under ranged pressure
it's got a guerilla sniper sorta vibe to it
I've been using Knife Recon, been thinking about going Knife Bolt pistol so I can pick up Kraks and still have that horde clear,
Honestly, I do hate to be the bearer of bad news but tinkerer really doesn't do enough for kraks
awww
I thought i was cooking
It's just not impactful
It really should be more
But lethal does make it that you can take out more heavy armor with a single krak
so there's synergy there
but you don't need tinkerer to do that
I just wish either Arbite was lowered to Human or veteran gets a small tree rework and renamed "Scion"
arbites needs to be nerfed regardless
vet just needs some design and structure tweaks
both should happen regardless
worth it for DH killing otherwise meh
well uh...
you get to do 10% damage to plogryns with kraks now
🔥
if you run shocktroop and surv, you can dump ammo
if not, stability is a valid dump too
Gonna try the powersword and helbore
This is good enoguh for the powersword right?
is it only hotshot 1?
Not really. The increase for kill is tiny. You just chip more. It's only for armourbane penance where you lob them into scab hordes and such.
Tinkerer increases the edge chip from negligible to minor.
Good to know its tried,
it's still
something
whether it's enough is debatable
hot shot is bugged where the lowest tier has the most benefit
Dude I feel like I could CLEAVE GOD
Oh, it is. I'm a knoife 'nade gremlin.
Not really, as said only for that bloody penance.
The only time you are really gonna multi kill with it if you have h40 insane densities, but then you aren't 1 shotting without tinkerer.
Hmm. I guess this is the one case use for tinkerer
But honestly, it probably won't even reach far enough to deal with an entire wall of crushers like you can get in h40
Also, no. You are better off with frags or smoke in havoc.
You might kill 3-4 of them if VERY lucky, but not worth it.
Kraks honestly just need to be reworked
Yep. Is really only for newbies atm.
cleave targets is dump stat on power sword
oh i didn't see this
you really don't want to dump mobility on ps
You can, I did. You have to play really well with it though.
Since dodges are even more atrocious then.
Can enemies have multiple armor modifiers or no?
Like, scab ragers don't count as maniac at all?
Yes. Some have like 3 different depending on where you shoot or if it's a DoT.
I'm aware, I mean stacked
Like, is scab rager JUST flak or does it get affected by maniac bonuses
It probably doesn't but it FEELS like it should
flak weakspot
flak base
carapace torso
carapace center mass
Thanks, but this is still not what I'm asking. Contextually I'm going to assume you're saying, yes, there's only 1 damage type applicable
if your doing the whole Cleave tech, should you still have brutal momentum as well
since scab rager has no hitzones that are maniac
+dmg vs maniac does nothing against scab rager
yes because brutal momentum caps and the extra cleave will still give benefit after the cap
Sad. Ragers are the quintessential "maniac" in my eyes, so an armoured rager feels like it should still be classified as maniac in addition to armour types
@tall torrent do you have your Psword clip against the crusher
Whats the difference between base and center mass? 
Like i know soulblaze/burn is against flak
Damage type for non locational damage
Like DoT = base, explosion = center mass?
Yeah, torso and center mass sound like the same thing
unless center mass is like...belly
and torso is chest
yeah iirc DoTs will damage it to flak, not carapace
which is odd lol
no like fire in their tum tum
whodathunk
that tracks with base
scab faction usually flak torso unarmored head
not the same thing
Do you mean with different base than their torso?
yeah
reaper torso is flak but base is unyielding
but center mass is unyielding so idk lol
i think reaper is the only one with different center mass than torso
So idk what center mass means
or affects
Uh
Not atm
I’m going to bed soon
Base vs DOT
Center mass vs explosion
Unless there's another enemy apart from Reapers that has a different center mass than torso, then the stat seems to only exist for them haha
Reaper torso is flak
which mark should i focus on getting better with on the powersword, the one wih the push Stab, or the sweeps
when brutal momentum exists theres no reason not to use the push stab one, the mk6, to do both group clear just as good as the other mark while also doing single target flat out better

God I love the fact that malestroms are just congalines of madness,
I feel bad, I'm in havocs, can complete 17-19, go back to malestrom to practice, and end up dead constantly,
meanwhile psyker teamate just yelling at me how I suck and should qit being in his lobies like.
If I'm in havoc why can't I handle Malestrom?
Cos auric maels are closer to H25.
Teen havocs are spicy heresy maels
so good practice?
For normal maels, yes.
The problem is more, ppl are a billion times more disorganised on mael than havoc.
trying to get my buddy into it and its, not been good, we have been getting closer the more we play so yea,
No demotions to force teamwork.
Figure out what’s downing you the most and start learning how to play those better
Its chip.
it really isn't much more than chip
its positioning, I get laser focused on fighting things, I don't se my team mates moving, I try to get better but with pugs, it hurts
common question incoming. Dump stat for plasma gun?
@tired egret
lol
Bro my very next pull was 69 thermal 71 ammo. SOOO CLOSE
Just another 2 million ordos to go
Thats quite bad
So general situational awareness; that takes time 
Majority of ppl lack it
I know, but its so frustrating of like "Okay we're fighting we're fighting," and the next thing I know I turn around its the 3 dudes I thought were my teammates are All Crushers,
I used to be a zealot main at launch, so Meleeing things and fighting them isn't a problem I'm trying ot be a team player but I just end up a pancake more than most and its starting to drive me nuts
Need a coach? 
yea maybe next week, Its 4Am whre I live and I got a few chores before work starts,
tomorrow at 8
Its noon here
nightshift life :TM:
Am or pm your time?
8pm, I work from 21:00to7:00
Thats gonna be 4am for me so nah
Earlier
its curently <t:1755597746:t> I have chores to do before <t:1755622826:t>, I'm got work tonight, (( <t:1755658826:t> ))
I can't get coached tonight, or this week, but I'm off on Saturday-Monday, so how about, <t:1755935100:f>
Thats a day i will be outside of town
Add me on discord its gonna be much easier to communicate 
68 thermal 72 charge rate?
Also works btw. Just gotta test.
the 69 thermal is the important breakpoint right?
So 70 70 is fine. But any lower on thermal and I can't squeeze an extra shot.
Would be nice if the simulacrum actually let me test like a sandbox
68 is possibly ok too but you need to check, its not a guarantee
I don't think 70 70 is possible unless theres some serious decimal tomfoolery going on with the 80 stats
Luck based, got some weapons like that before.
I've just kinda avoided the plasma gun this entire time... why not just dump charge speed? It's hardly ever charged anywas
Grab something to deal with armour, Combat Axe, Chain Axee, Power sword, duelling sword, Shock Maul
or does charge speed affect the single shot fire rate too?
im about to just use this 71 therm 71 charge 78 stopping power
This rng is a lil silly
At that point, just thermal dump as much as possible with charge rate as other.
Losing damage is bleah.
Fixed an issue where the “Hot Shot” blessing was scaling incorrectly over the tiers, while also remaining active while the secondary weapon was not wielded.
It's so over?
Fixed an issue where the “Hot Shot” blessing was scaling incorrectly over the tiers, while also remaining active while the secondary weapon was not wielded.
Dev Note: The blessing will now scale its value 20/30/40/50% over tiers 1 to 4 as intended, instead of the incorrect and reverse scaling 80/70/60/50%.
OH COME ON
50 billion indirect nerfs to vet
I was so happy being able to cleave with tac axe in high havoc
Finally its fixed; ppl will have to cope and thats ok 
Hotshot nerf is wild man
Its not a nerf; its a fix
0 reason to use that blessing ever If I'll be honest lmao

Me millionth Bloat blessing that serves 0 purpose
what about chainsword?
The fix nerfed it
I know its now working as intended but damn lmfao
Its not the best vs elites due to carapace dmg & not being able to stun even a reaper unless you use a heavy attack rev
Unless you use it as arby its not great now
Is that "hotfix" out?
Yes its live now
Great.
Now they should fix lethal prox and piss everyone off that uses crushers/grenades
I legitimately just built a helbore to try the cleave the world thing,
hm
And holy damn it was fun, Little frustrated aboute the double standard with the bolt pistol.
Yep, I was the final Straw
On the bright side you get to use the helbore as the helbore 
did arbites get a new outfit
Which is the best stats structure for the Plasma gun ?
@tired egret
In fact, no one got anything new, shop hasn't rotated yet
I'm not mad about Fixes, I'm frustrated that Bolt Pistol applies to ALL EXPLOSIONS but not anything else, the ability to have extra Cleave on a Powersword with a helbore, THAT was fun
Don't worry, lethal prox will be fixed next update to bring vet in line 
Too OP
we need to nerf this class
so why shouldn't we all play Zealots?
Because the builds are incredibly boring
And the ranged damage is significantly worse
Everyone should just play Ogryn.
Or Arby
And all of them should play gunlugger or ogrynheimer
so the ammo shortage is real and everyone complains about it
Gah what do I even use as a Gun anymore lol
Just kill crushers with your autopistol
Damn Parent issue, I knew my parents growing up, so couldn't get brainwa-I mean trained in the schola

Better Veteran spotted
technically a veteran could do it faster and with les bullets cause of stacking rending and 10% rending on the tree
Is 10% rending really .. that.. good?
No

It just makes stupid things possible, like killing crushers with a recon
Onslaught though...
only notable thing it does is make the Vigils actually useful against maniacs
I thought Onslaught was a Meme?
that is required for it on top of 10% rending
It is.
It is yeah lol
killing crushers with recon lasguns/infantry autoguns is most definitely a meme
But we are talking the 10% rending here, another meme pick.
