its fine

#

I run 2 tough 1 stam

#

@outer wolf If you play Veteran, for H40 you would need extra health otherwise you get oneshot by a poxburster

old cobalt
#

for recon lasgun vet build, should I go with something with horde clear or something more like a DS?

outer wolf
#

will go x2 toughness + x1 HP and 5% HP each for the perks

covert fable
old cobalt
#

sworb it is. Time to get gambling.

#

I figure having a perfect roll on a Recon Lasgun, Hellbore and Bolt Pistol for ranged and a perfect roll on Combat Axe/Dueling sword should be a good start

covert fable
old cobalt
#

yee, thats why a mentioned the DS

covert fable
#

ahh

covert fable
#

I believe your main objective should be those specials when playing veteran

#

Not hordeclear

red portal
willow prairie
#

tfw flayer proc on burster

old cobalt
#

That's what I figured. I'd probably uhhh. either run...
Recon Lasgun / Dueling Sword
or
Hellbore Lasgun / Combat Axe

willow prairie
#

recon is extremely shit in hsvoc unfortunately

old cobalt
#

but its also very funny

#

:3

willow prairie
#

I mean yeah

red portal
#

But ammo efficiency RWcry

willow prairie
#

good ammo economy don't fix shitty ttk

willow prairie
#

combat axe with weapon specialist

old cobalt
#

yeah i plan on taking Hellbore for when I'm trying but there's also something so satisfying about seeing a hallway of enemies and just holding down m1 for 18 consecutive seconds

grand perch
covert fable
#

Combat axe has insane hordeclear also

old cobalt
willow prairie
#

combat axe horde clear is honestly meh in havoc

covert fable
old cobalt
#

Hellbore/Combat axe should be SERVICABLE in HC

willow prairie
#

bm make it keep up in auric storm but in havoc density it isn't fast enuff

#

plus it also pretty stamina intensive since you want to do pa when you accidentally hit non weakspot kill

old cobalt
#

yee ive been looking at heavy sword as well

#

My only issue with Recon Lasgun has been getting used to the falloff range

#

It hits HARD

covert fable
#

Tho its fun

old cobalt
#

Yee

#

Im just trying to get one good starter build on every character after wiping my account

willow prairie
#

why

old cobalt
#

and re-learning everything

old cobalt
#

cant miss progress if you dont remember what you had, and it helps re-learn basics

red portal
#

I could never wipe my darktide account seems like too much work for way too little gain.

#

Exactly 0 gain in my opinion

willow prairie
#

also playing on low difficulty is torture

red portal
#

True

#

Snoozerising

covert fable
#

I could understand wiping story games but darktide idk

old cobalt
#

I mean I never played the game seriously. At all.

red portal
#

First thing I do when I create a new character is getting taxied to damnation/auric

old cobalt
#

I picked what talents I had and if a gun was orange that was good enough for me

covert fable
#

You could probably get away with that now

old cobalt
#

so i wasnt losing like 500+ hours

#

It was mostly just me dicking around on zealot

#

So far I'm going...

  • Lasgun Shout Vet
  • Fury/Judgment Zealot
  • SG Gunker
  • Indom/Hitter Ogryn
#

Those are what I gotta work on

#

I got all 4 up to 30 and now I'm just trying to tweak builds for preference and figure out what weapon combos I find the easiest to use, because everyone knows the REAL meta is whatever the fuck you perform best with

#

and not what reddit says is the meta

covert fable
#

Try the infantry autoguns for vet

old cobalt
#

Vrakky boi real good

covert fable
#

Yessir

red portal
#

How is the ammo efficiency on the infantry auto?

covert fable
#

Probably piss

#

In havoc

old cobalt
#

you use it for bosses

#

and thats uhh

#

thats about it

red portal
#

So same as the bolter basically.

#

You use it to nuke monstrosities and possibly taking out a few gunners and snipers and that's it.

old cobalt
#

Or killing specials SOMETIMES if
A) You're out of assail
or B) The target has head armor

And that target is ALSO not in melee and is ALSO not being attacked by any other member of the--

#

you use it for bosses

#

for vet if you want a gun to use as an actual primary your options are basically Recon Lasgun and Hellbore

#

thats about it

#

at least from my research

covert fable
#

No

old cobalt
#

I haven't been able to find any builds centered around gunplay that DON'T use lasguns

covert fable
#

The db is fun

#

Double barrel

red portal
#

I'm tempted to use db on psyker

old cobalt
#

thats less of a primary and more of something you weave in between melee though

covert fable
#

Infantry autogun is better on vet than psyker i believe

old cobalt
red portal
#

I guess bubble for havoc maybe

old cobalt
#

bubble, yeah.

#

Also some people just don't like staffs like

#

A fair amount of people use off-meta picks just because they're more enjoyable

willow prairie
#

how it feel to spread information

#

work on gunpsyker though

hollow ibex
willow prairie
#

take 3 buisness day to kill elites

#

smh

#

aka your role

umbral scaffold
#

anyone got good infantry lasgun build laying around ? for auric stuff mainly

#

i havent played any other class besides arbites since it came out so forgot everything and dont know anymore

hollow ibex
#

you start by not taking ilas

narrow widget
#

you start by swapping ilas with the almighty bolt gun

umbral scaffold
#

so ilas sucks major ass ?

#

boltgun is the best and i use it all the time on the god allmighty arbitrator

midnight wyvern
willow prairie
#

if you want to play ilas use laspistol

void dragon
#

the iLas has inverted falloff damage (farter target is it deals more damage) which doesnt work well in current Darktide

#

Recon has better mid range performance, so better for what you will be facing

#

and Laspistol has good crit rate plus beast mobility

#

both weapons will do work

willow prairie
#

this game server is ass

formal ice
willow prairie
#

oh hd2

#

wrong chat

#

also darktide server is ass

formal ice

what with swedish dev and shittiest game server in existence

Me tweaking the fuck out over the possibility of a new melee for vet

midnight wyvern
#

I just want it to not only be the dogass mortis shit

#

all I want

tall torrent
#

If power falchion is borderline overpowered then vet will have 2 good melee weapons for actually fighting enemies

candid pasture
#

helgun when

faint beacon
#

Cause PS >>>>> Falchion this is a given

#

PS is just that busted in its current state

hybrid plover
candid pasture
serene bough
#

Exe stance, MMF, both rending nodes (MMF subnode + rending strikes)

#

But as others have eluded to its not the strongest option right now

candid pasture
#

did an executioner stance kant lasgun build that can one shot headshot everything bar crushers and maulers in the auric meatgrinder

#

you will get brow beat for not taking shout tho

hybrid plover
serene bough
#

No shout in auric is acceptable to most people but in havoc you'll definitely get some scorn from my experience

narrow frost
#

Bring revive shout they'll love you

#

I bring wee woo vet Into havoc cause the reactions are funny

candid pasture
#

but yeah kant 9 inf lasgun is the way to go for headshots

#

headhunter and deadly accurate with all the weakspot stuff and you'll be laughing

serene bough
#

Best ilas mark is IIb, you can reach all the same breakpoints with far greater ammo econ and rate of fire

#

Mk9 can do some interesting crusher killing but i wouldn't say its too practical

sly orchid
candid pasture
#

i may be stuck in my ways as i swore by kant 9 in beta til i dropped the game for a bit hah

sly orchid
#

i want 2 ranged and 2 melee

hybrid plover
serene bough
#

Kant 9 used to be king but it had a heavy fall from grace

tall torrent
sly orchid
#

im not talking about 2 falchion marks

#

im talking 2 entirely new weapons

tall torrent
#

But the truth is the “new vet stuff” they promised is prob ultimately just the arb dlc class for us to buy KEKW_ogryn

serene bough
hybrid plover
tall torrent
#

1 new weapon with 2 variants is not enough to justify 10 months of nothing

sharp hamlet
#

Honestly, I am indifferent about the new melee. Still no volleygun.

sharp hamlet
#

I require maximum BRRRRT and recon las just doesn’t hit anymore ☹️

hybrid plover
candid pasture
#

kinda wish they'd combine shock troop, fully loaded and add rending into one keystone node replacing marksmens focus to make a "hellgun" or something capstone

hybrid plover
#

If you really cared for practicality, you probably wouldn't be using one to begin with

#

But using offmeta stuff is fun

serene bough
#

Eh, IIb isn't that outclassed

#

Ilas family definitely not the strongest but you can still use and be pretty potent

candid pasture
#

i do headbutt with my chainsword and kant 9 occasionally because deuling sword plasma gets boring after a bit

serene bough
#

But they do need some well needed buffs

candid pasture
tall torrent
#

Knife is only fun when u meme build

#

Too op otherwise

hybrid plover
#

Because I've been given shit for using it on vet in havoc before

serene bough
#

Knife in havoc is basically a safety stick

hybrid plover
#

It's like people forgot that it's actually really strong

tall torrent
#

It’s ok but not as good as DS since u need stamina to max dps with it

candid pasture
tall torrent
#

It’s significantly stronger on zealot

#

Cuz duellist op

#

And second wind op

#

And zealot has way better stamina management (highest regen rate)

hybrid plover
#

Tis why I bring a stam delay at all times with knife

candid pasture
#

i guess if you can manage to bring "Rending Strikes" "onslaught" and the left side branch of the weapon specialist tree you'd be laughing with that letter opener

hybrid plover

hybrid plover
tall torrent
#

What perk

hybrid plover
#

You mean uncanny?

candid pasture
#

uncanny

tall torrent
#

U don’t have to run uncanny for knife to be op

#

lol

#

Uncanny is just a fast and boring way to achieve that

tropic notch
hybrid plover
#

I run my knife on vet with precog and executor lol

candid pasture
#

oh cool

#

idk, i don't thhink too much about melee stuff

#

as long as it can kill and make space im happy

tropic notch
#

Tbh I ran dbarrel knife in havoc when in came out

#

It was fun

hybrid plover
#

It has enough penetration that as long as you can hit good damage numbers, uncanny can be replaced.

Uncanny is mostly good because it buffs DoTs

loud kiln
#

Fellow veteran enjoyers

candid pasture
tall torrent
#

Knife is op because melee fundamentals are irrelevant when u can run at >7m/s and nothing can hit u and it’s among the highest single target dps weapons in the game

sly orchid
#

imagine precognition on taxe

hybrid plover
#

And vet has shredders

tropic notch

And riposte

taxe dont need it lole

Ok bet

Yea DS is not generalist melee at all it’s just an overtuned single target poking stick

tropic notch
hybrid plover
#

Then switch cara

tall torrent
loud kiln
hybrid plover

Uncanny on max stacks makes dueling sword do more than enough damage

tall torrent

Oh

hybrid plover

So uh...

tropic notch

Wait till they try power sword

serene bough

I still haven't used the dueling sword lol

tropic notch
hybrid plover
#

I guess keep carapace then

loud kiln
#

Armor catagories confuse me so much

tropic notch
hybrid plover

Or technically, maulers are considered "flak armored"

tropic notch
#

The vet build tm

hybrid plover

But they have carapace weakspots

loud kiln

I do onslaught with recon las

Recon vet….

i like boltpistol a lot

Lasmax

I might switch too a grenade focused build

The weapon’s design is ass

Everything is off

@tall torrent what’s something good I can run in havoc using ij on zealot?

sly orchid
#

prolly thammer

#

that benefits alot from IJ

tropic notch
#

Do I really wanna use thammer

hybrid plover
#

The concern is actually running thammer, ya

#

Crusher could work too.

loud kiln
#

Ill run, that's it, just run

tropic notch
#

If I’m using crusher I’m using crit

tropic notch
#

Yeah

My only character thats really havoc ready is arbites

What about combat axe?

hybrid plover
tropic notch
#

Will ij push it pass the bp?

loud kiln
#

I dont have a pub to run havoc though, and i don't have any elitist cosmetics to be picked up

tall torrent
#

If ur gonna run a dps zealot I think relic blade is current top performer even tho it’s nowhere close to power sword

sly orchid
#

dueling sword for pure damage

loud kiln
#

Low dif darktide with new characters suck though man, why is my randos half why back in the area 😭

tropic notch
#

It’ll help with its dodges

see comparison to uncharged psword lol

hybrid plover
primal zealot

maybe against a single poxwalker

hybrid plover
#

Nah it can still horde clear, albeit not as effectively

hollow ibex
#

yeah they learned their lesson

#

with psword

hybrid plover
#

Now uncharged power sword

hollow ibex
#

and made the uncharged mode actually usable

hollow ibex
#

unlike psword lmfao

primal zealot
#

and lets be real here in havoc when is there not a crusher all up in ya grill ?

hybrid plover
#

That's a different story

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

That shit is horrendous.

#

Literally a wet noodle

hollow ibex
loud kiln
#

I wish darktide on consol could have the meat grinder configurable

hybrid plover
#

One of the reasons I just don't like using power sword is specifically because getting hit while attacking cancels the charge and that will get you outright killed at times because uncharged power sword is actually horrible

tall torrent
#

Just read enemy atks better

#

Totally not FatShark’s fault for not fixing bugs thoroughly

loud kiln

The one poxwalker knicking me from behind while horde clearing whatthefuck_heresy

so kraks actually not bad to run with bolt pistol

kraks are always good with any build

#

the best anti bulwark weapon

if it works for you, go for it

its what you are able to use effectively

well yeah of course

jolly quail
#

the game

#

i tried 1 and 2 and didnt like them

narrow frost
#

I literally just got it

#

and its my 1st Dying light

#

so I cant compare

jolly quail
#

oh fair enough

#

it shouldve been more or less in my alley but i didnt like it

#

the games were lauded for their movement but to me it felt like ass compared to the movement shooters i enjoyed

faint beacon
jolly quail
#

thres a new weapon right

#

thats pretty cool

narrow frost
#

who knows

#

literally

jolly quail
#

vet having only one unique melee weapon is kinda lame

narrow frost
#

we only have speculations and some code

jolly quail
#

exclusive i mean

narrow frost
#

they havent released any info

hybrid plover
#

yeah I'll be honest the lack of blogpost actually has me worried about the falchion

narrow frost
#

minor bit of trolling

jolly quail
#

yeah ive noticed i get much more updates on vt than dt

narrow frost
#

Yes

jolly quail
#

is vet the class that gets like the least love in this game or something?

narrow frost
#

yes

jolly quail
#

lol

#

theres always a class like that

jolly quail
#

unfortunate

hybrid plover
#

the veteran mains in chat asking for a molecule of a crumb of content

#

fatshark : 💤

jolly quail
#

ive spent all my time between vet and zealot for now

#

havent tried the other 3 yet

sharp hamlet
#

Pain.

jolly quail
#

lol its true

hybrid plover
#

well there you go

#

they're busted

jolly quail
#

lol so i like the two weakest classes?

hybrid plover
jolly quail
#

based tbh

hybrid plover
#

psyker on a fundamental level is busted but only "balanced" by how squishy they are

jolly quail
#

well arbitor looks cool but cant say im super eager to play ogryn or psyker

sharp hamlet
jolly quail
#

vet and zealot just have the vibes

hollow ibex
hybrid plover
hollow ibex
#

vet def makes top 5

jolly quail
#

oh well

#

its still cool

#

but even compared to my zealot looking at the trees i thought vet's tree was just much worse

hybrid plover
#

ogryn is busted, arbitrator is busted

sharp hamlet
hybrid plover
jolly quail
#

oh for real

hybrid plover
#

Zealot has The Build ™

sharp hamlet
hybrid plover
#

Basically, a good zealot build will always compose of a very, very specific set of talents and it's really only at the bottom where you can actually diversify a little bit.

#

Resulting in a very stagnant feeling skill tree.

jolly quail
#

i noticed arbitrator is insane yea but not surprising since new classes tend to powercreep in games like this

hybrid plover
#

basically, if you're not using knives, you're gimping yourself unfortunately

#

if you don't go middle left to get until death and duelist, gimped

#

as much as I want vet to get a rework

#

Zealot needs it more.

faint beacon
#

Vet and Zealot are both incredibly dated

jolly quail
#

so whats the zealot build

faint beacon
#

Ironically enough both of them are about on par with each other

#

Issue is when it’s any other class

jolly quail
#

too bad but ill keep on playing them i guess

#

really love their exclusive weapons

hybrid plover
jolly quail
#

thats so useful thanks

hybrid plover
#

now that comment about inexorable being zealot's "best"

#

that's debatable

#

but the pathing's got the idea right

jolly quail
#

so all the non circled/coloured nodes are like mandatory ?

hybrid plover
#

pretty much

austere mica
#

More or less

jolly quail
#

obv was already using knives and the forward charge with 2 stacks

#

alright!

faint beacon
#

Stalwart is

#

Ludicrous

#

On Zealot

haughty mauve
#

too bad only book zealots make it to havvoc

hybrid plover
#

also

faint beacon
#

I’ll be honest

narrow frost
faint beacon
hybrid plover
#

while FOTF is generally zealot's best offensive option, book is good

haughty mauve
#

unless you're with friends not many will take a non book zealot it is what it is

faint beacon
#

I do…

#

Ainz does…

narrow frost
#

Host your own

faint beacon
#

Uhmmm uhh

#

Honestly FOTF Zealots chunking bosses will never not be helpful

jolly quail
#

btw is there a post or a google doc or something that details how crits work

#

its very nebulous

narrow frost
#

one sec

#

maybe there is

hybrid plover
#

honestly if I see a zealot running FOTF in havoc, I'm comforted that someone is gonna be doing some crazy boss damage

jolly quail
#

as are many other stats but i think i got most of the rest lol

#

this game not having a kind of keyword encyclopedia is crazy ngl

narrow frost
faint beacon
#

Whipped out the In Progress Vet Guide

narrow frost
#

ye

hybrid plover
#

why does arbitrator have psyker's crit chance

jolly quail
#

why the hell does arbitrator have more innate crit than vet

#

lmao

#

surely the sharpshooter type class would have the best crit rate

hybrid plover
#

the soldier

#

having the worst stamina delay

Umm

#

I like fury more too instead of afk simulator chorus it is what it is

hybrid plover
#

as if they even need it

faint beacon
#

Even though they have an insane uptime talent

faint beacon
hybrid plover
#

with the myriad of "15% damage" talents they have for some reason

sly orchid
#

I wouldnt mind vet having a more crit oriented right side path for its rework

faint beacon
hybrid plover
#

see

#

this is just a sign

#

that we need to nerf veteran

#

they're too strong

#

they keep powercreeping the game to get to their level

#

it's unhealthy

jolly quail
#

so how much damage do crits do? the guide was only about rates

narrow frost
#

depends on weapon

hybrid plover
jolly quail
#

ah interesting

hybrid plover
#

i.e

narrow frost
#

it varies per weapon with their own crit damage

#

and crit strings

jolly quail
#

and my orange hitmarkers are crits right?

hybrid plover
#

knife, which has a ridiculously high crit damage compared to other weapons

sly orchid
jolly quail
narrow frost
#

nope

sly orchid
#

Fatshark had the wonderful idea

jolly quail
#

thats crazy bro

sly orchid
#

Of changing hitmarkers

jolly quail
#

like just guess

sly orchid
#

With crit being yellow

#

AND REMOVING THE FUCKING WEAKSPOT HITMARKER

faint beacon
sly orchid
#

You dont want to know how unfathomably angry it makes me

jolly quail
#

yeah theres a huge lack of in game info for a game that is stat, hitzone etc heavy

austere mica
narrow frost
#

but lies

hybrid plover
austere mica
#

You just have to do the math yourself

hybrid plover
#

there are still things I just don't know and don't bother to learn because Fatshark is an enigma I am not equipped to understand unless I become a Tzeentch cultist

jolly quail
austere mica
#

It's not really number crunching it's just

#

Look at table

#

Divide crit damage by normal damsge

#

Get crit modifier

faint beacon
#

I love dumping 2.5k hours into a game and still only knowing surface level shit cause nothing is explained ever

hybrid plover
#

it's also true

jolly quail
faint beacon
#

That comment has like

sly orchid
#

Few people have true shartide knowledge

faint beacon
#

17 likes

#

LMAO

I'm not sure what deal Kuli made with Tzeentch to get the information that they have

#

But it is very appreciated

hybrid plover

That Gloriana run was gonna be a True Survivor

#

And then the servers said sike

#

Genuinely one of the most disheartening experiences I have ever had playing this game

midnight wyvern
#

do you fail tru surv if you DC?

#

I guess bot could death

hybrid plover
#

In that case, yes since the game was completely canceled out

midnight wyvern
#

oh lmfao

hybrid plover
#

We were at the end objective on the second part

midnight wyvern
#

the better DC

#

disconnect 2 electric boogaloo

hybrid plover
#

Everyone played their part so well that game

#

Mid objective was quick as hell because people knew the timings and I had the smokes to cover

midnight wyvern
hybrid plover

I pushed off like two pogryns at the beginning with my shouts

sharp hamlet
#

You’ll get it eventually my guy. I ‘member when I had a TS run ruined at the end of the smelter mission since a psyker overloaded lol.

hybrid plover
#

It's just that it's really annoying when it's the game that robs you of it.

sharp hamlet
#

Pain and suffering builds character and hardens the soul.

well fuck you too ducane...

No havoc until after the update

oh no... they're gonna reset our havoc ranks aren't they

well yes

#

it happens every 3 months

Season 4 of havoc, aka around 1 entire year since Havoc has been a thing

Is vetren just the most popular class or something?

#

This channel is the most active one

hybrid plover
#

more that it's the channel where people tend to actually talk about

#

ya know

#

darktide

hollow ibex
#

i think psyker chat's the most active

#

though i have zealot and ogryn chat blocked

hybrid plover
#

zealot chat is basically general 2

#

ogryn chat is kinda on the same note as veteran chat

#

arbites too but also conversation about how busted it and ogryn are

hollow ibex
#

yeah zealot chat's basically just always off topic, prob got bored of talking about zealot a few months after the talent tree update came out and they still only had one build KEKW_ogryn

#

ogryn chat i have blocked because i just don't play or care about ogryn

hybrid plover
#

i dont even talk in psyker chat cuz if you even dare to try and bring up something even slightly offmeta, people will scream about misinformation

heavy rover
#

meanwhile in vet chat even the most shitpost build can be somewhat viable KEKW_ogryn

hybrid plover
#

like apologies that i tried blazing spirit on a force sword in havoc and think it's actually not that bad

#

obvs not the best

#

but it works

heavy rover
#

all I'm gonna say is, at one point I ran serrated edge with shovel. It wasn't any new game-changing meta but my god was it hilarious

hybrid plover
#

it is honestly pretty damn good

heavy rover
#

incredible KEKW_ogryn

hybrid plover
#

it also does fare pretty well on shovel

#

since uncanny

#

and decimator stacks do also increase DoT damage

hollow ibex
loud kiln
#

Shovel

heavy rover
hybrid plover
heavy rover
#

oh my god that's hilarious

#

i should run that

hybrid plover
#

decimator increases strength and strength damage boosts apply to DoTs.

loud kiln
#

Shovel is awesome

hybrid plover
#

that or all or nothing

loud kiln
#

Only real kreigsman weapon

That and the musket

and no shock troop

but yes I agree, I see the vision, and I ain't even mad at that point

#

oh wait yeah no shock troop

#

now that's heresy

hybrid plover
#

you know

#

call me crazy

loud kiln
#

Crazy? I was crazy once

heavy rover
#

they locked me in a room

loud kiln
#

A rubber room

heavy rover
#

a rubber room with rats

hybrid plover
#

if you took off bring it down and the toughness node

#

and then got shock troop and the delay node

loud kiln
#

The rats made me crazy

hybrid plover
#

i actually think this might not be half bad KEKW_ogryn

loud kiln
#

Bring it down being a secondary mission cars for those who don't know

hybrid plover
#

i mean tbf it is a game based on the tabletop so it'd be kind of criminal if they didn't put references

#

Pardon me frens

loud kiln

#

Is it just me or are the Boltgun and PSword made of foam now?

hollow ibex
#

to burn through stamina as quickly as possible

#

so you can use AON on shovel more efficiently

fading yarrow
#

Just tried to play an Auric Damnation run and I was doing absolutely nothin'

hollow ibex
#

did you remember to load your bolter and charge your ps?

fading yarrow
#

Yeah

#

I was even doing the push-stab into slash stuff

loud kiln
#

Did you empower? Give it the right stuff?

fading yarrow
#

500 in both, PS is Mk VI with 80 in all and 61 in Mobility, Carapace, Unyielding, Brutal Momentum and Power Cycler, Boltgun is also Carapace and Unyielding with Cavalcade and Pinning Fire

#

Maybe I just got too used to two-shotting everything as Arbites

it's still one of the strongest melees in the game

and bolter is still really good

Spearhead bolter better ngl, wish vet had it

#

For a gun focused class, it lacks the mother of boss damage

hollow ibex

He does?

Vet has Bolter, watchamean?

What's the best 2nd blessing on Psword? PCycler and Bromentum?

There's the bolt pistok

Heavy bolter, soon on your local ogryn -Sincerely a delucional ogryn

Wish there's Bolter variants, a lighter and heavier version

when people are bolter, they're referring to the boltgun
