I just think giving a way to actively build stacks wouldve been fun
it used to be a max of 40% but now I think it’s 35%
32% now 30%
Pour out a drink for Tactical Awareness
muh 2%
It's like 2% damage bruh
Rip
With the node that increases max stacks
that’s enough to kill myself over i think
see you all in the servitor bay
But now it takes 9 seconds instead of 16 to reach max stacks
Understandable
yeah exactly, that’s the trade off
With that modifier
IMO not worth it
Imo explode
regardless i’ll still be using it instead of weapon spec
what do we think abt the exe stance change
what do you mean by stack on your targets? like 1 + 1 = 2?
yes, or if you ping with 2 stacks and then get another 2 and ping again it’ll be 4 stacks
I see they buffed chain weapons
Good
oh i hadnt realised MMF stacks are now refreshed by melee weakspot hits
they do which is great
Is the reason I've always been bad at aiming the Helbore because the fucking sights were misaligned
yeah i’m excited, after the castgiators came out i was thinking “i hope exe stance gets some kind of passive toughness recharge too”
Oh yeah been meaning to revisit the assault chain sword on Veteran once I'm done using the Falchion
I do think the modifier that lets you mark enemies for allies should be changed to be active for its whole duration though
that's really nice. i can just ping the boss immediately now instead of waiting for max
yeah, the same applies if other vets are running it too
chain swords* still have nothing to stop multiple ragers with
Yea the Vostroyan skins ones we're just wrong lmao
are u srs
so thats why that gun always felt like ass
Yeah I figured I'm not sure if they'll ever get a meaningful buff like that
Lethal proximity is hilarious on the new bolt pistol
The old Helbore sights were deceptively lower than they actually were
Might be worth dumping mobility on that mark for the memes
you had to aim lower than you thought you did
The new bolter marks were the most roundabout way of adding grenade launchers to the game
They have to rework them completely. Chain weapons would be better if it worked similarly to the relic blade and falchion, where maybe once you rev it up it just does way more damage, more cleave, more stagger,
Grenadier vet stocks are through the roof
@neon terrace which Chainsword attacks stagger ragers again?
Plus I can finally take field improvisation
is it just sticky?
4 shredders that can cover a room
psyker regen feels so good
What’s the meta power sword setup again?
Oh hey revive speed affects helping allies too now
Uhh mk6 with cycler, sunder i think?
Brutal Momentum + Power Cycler
Sunder + Power Cycler
Depends what you're doing
Veteran Changes Good?
Lookiing at the Tree they LOOK good, but I cna't play with them right now
I see, what should the damage bonuses be?
Massive improvement
Theres still room for more changes (specially the keystone area) but overall a massive W
God is good
How big of a W?
theres a single minor node that gives +15% melee damage
zealots in shambles
Three tap crushers with sunder power sword
Tried out new talent trees. They've killed my veteran ranged build.
How’s the Lasgun builds now?
ok how
And that's after they got over doubled hp 😭
a small price to pay
veteran is just him
I'm interested, how exactly?
So, it was crit based helbore build, and now some critical nodes can't be achieved without sacrifice. But I have to bring toughness damage reduction for the team. Damnation.
Yeah it seems pretty good for stuff like Nuncio
Idk if it's worth getting Revive speed on curios
But at least neat
on curios not really
I'm just a helpful dude c:
Vet has a higher base crit chance now
From 5% to 10%
Zealots Look like their eating good whats going on?
Just a joke about how they've never had flat damage buffs on their tree
just stacking ones
yeah im basically just saying that this node being as good as it is is surprising on vet
And yeah revive speed is actually super nice in Havoc because of how much garbage can interrupt you
Five. But that's good point, forgot about that. "Opening Salvo" lies in quite unconvinient way.
Also reminding this has been added
That change is massive
Martyrdom Zealots eating good 😎
Nothing is worse than getting back up and overheaded by a crusher without being able to dodge/block
Or getting up in yet another firebomb thrown your way
what we thinkin bout the new falchion tho?
Martyrdom can now actually gain the full benefit of Martyrdom in difficulties above Malice (not counting that one buff in Mortis Trials)
i just yoinked a decent roll with 60 mobi and im not sure if that or heat management is the dump stat
And now they can get revived without being punished for their greed UwU
It has higher base mobility than the PS so probably mobility is the dump stat
Youre still getting weaker healing stims unfortunately
But idk how heat management works on falchion other than its probably good
They never healed anyways
According to the post it has longer duratio before overheating but the cooldown takes longer
Compared to relic sword
how's falchion
Anyone know if the enemy health increases are going to cause issues for Heavy Sword and Caxe?
uh
It wasn't
power sword reign supreme
Oh that talent
Eh
The cool down went down from 30 to 20
the team toughness share talent got buffed, seems pretty pog
Oh it's shit then
Also more stamina I think
think the field improv is better
20% share and 50% coherency radius
no, was always 50% stamina
So yeah
Gbitf still 💀
is the general consensus that issues are fixed or do some people still want new signature abilities
Yeah seems pretty good c:
Well the main issue was the lack of new weapons
lol
We're still using the same shit but tweaked a bit
I want new issues
Most issues fixed
good lort
Tactical Awareness nerf just for you
also is the screen blur from popping a stim while stealthed gone
Rip VoC spam every 2 seconds
Don't think so. It wasn't mentioned anywhere
I'll test it before sleep
Just realized with Chorus and Tac Awareness nerfs, how will I do Havoc 1 now 😔
long live permanent Exe Stance
Gotta stick to tutorial now
this is real and true
But that means I have to aim :c
I actually felt unkillable in Exe stance today
Is that new sword part of the powerswrod family or is it a fully new weapon?
the fov change is fucking annoying though
Can't believe they actually enticed us to pick the anti-ogryn talent for Exe
New sword family it seems
Oh! Nice
New
It has 2 marks
Yeah it seems pretty good now that it effects more stuff
and makes mark last longer
it is.
and I swear it also slows your camera rurn speed
turn*
Indeed c: though got to see if I can fit it in 😔
does the new covering fire apply to self?
or is it still
only allies
is it still garbage
This is the big thing
also longshot buffed??
8-second timer duration makes refreshing Exe lickety split
Should be pretty simple to test in the meatgrinder
Longshot finally beats the longshit allegations
🤌
psword + plasma eating good this patch lmao
8 seconds feel like an eternity really
But I used the ogryn subnode anyway, nice to have that additional bonus
I'm not sure longshot will really help out with new breakpoints on plasma
rip tactical awareness nerf, expected but still 
More math needed
Can barely screenshot the tree with these ads on gameslantern now 
also markman
Especially now that scabs got huge buffs
Plasma has bad finesse modifier, mmf doesn't do much for it
you really out here in 2025 not using ad block huh
20% strength for hitting weakspot with range weapon once
marksman
not mmf
Oh wait you mean marksman the yellow talent
PLAY SILENT HILL F
I know they said "reduced crusher spawns" but I do wonder if its "reduced" or the Fatshark reduced doubled
Available now
I've been dealing with them for so long, I barely even notice them unless they're this intrusive lol
How’s the power Falchion?
ooo mmf got buffed
Kinda laggy to be in matches atm, not sure if its just me
The weapon with lawbringer in its name and arbites doesn't get it? Bruh moment (just kidding, even tho it would have been sick)
GW moment
Servers are probably overloaded right now
almost certainly server sweat since the player count is pretty high and fresh updates
augh i lost all my builds
How're things looking
What in the God-Emperor,
Are you saying marksman stance applies to Melee Attacks right now?
yeah i was about to say the high aoe is funny but it doesnt do much damage so, im not sure hwat they were going for
Pretty sure pinning fire is a instapick
Thats only on the bistol
Oh whoops
The actual bolter doesnt have it
I love your pfp omg
👀
They're just off for now
but why?? guess its time to rng for a power saber drop...
Yes.
Because the shops for Melk and Brunt are useless anyways
You buy grey items to roll for the stats you want and upgrade it.
I like talking to the NPCs
@eternal venture True
Only really possible if you have a pile of materials hoarded
oh wait nvm grey item is not disabled
pile of docket specifically
Indeed they aren't.
Grey item not disabled 🙏
initial focus target/support build
And materials too
did they change the heavy sword what is the purpose of this weapon lmao
Horde clear
It's so streamlined 🥲
I didn't think we'd ever be able to do that on Vet
RIGHT?
no more spider webs
Also oneshotting muties with the strikedown mark
This is almost as big of a buff as the Hellbore finally getting sights
Does pretty well vs. Ragers too
oh shit right the hellbore sights
I'm a fan of the Falchion now though
What's the difference between the mk4 and mk6 bolt pistols? does the mk6 just have one less round and less damage?
Bigger explosion
Mk6 has bigger boom
Don't forget One Motion got buffed by 100%
hooooly shit
can the bigger boom proc the bleed blessing?
the bleed was never aoe
lmao
vet is so busted right now haha, no more tax point
It's so nice
#nerfvet
SO much better than before
Finally, after all these years
Just gotta wait for some fun new ranged weapons at some point
actually with crushers being buffed are krak nades worth bringing now
Probably
plus we get 3 now
Kraks also got buffed directly
and 4 with nadier
And shorter fuse
giga buffed
720p screenshot does not help 😂
But what a difference
WORKING SIGHTS AFTER TWO YEARS
kraks are in a fantastic position now, not only are they a really short fuse and you carry more, but it's almost free to take the 60sec grenade regen perk so you can use them liberally
This has been the only gun I've used
Question, what does ranged finesse strength refer to?
NO FUCKING WAY DID THEY BUFF KRAKS
weakspot damage
they did!
Yeah
Oh so it's just finesse?
lol why on earth did they buff krak grenade
They buffed crushers, so.
Slow >:(
i thoguht they were already pretty amazing
because crushers also got buffed
Weakspot and crits
Great minds think alike
they're so much better now
Vet getting buffed feels like a dream
I stopped using kraks after doing the penance with them
The 2 limit held the back a lot
yo guys how do you build the MK1 power falchion in terms of perks and blessings
oh yeah this is just straight up required lmao
damn i always thought the damage was owrth it anyway
yeah baby! the direct buffs are just +1 krak and 1-second fuses, but indirectly it's also a LOT easier to pick up grenade perks for minimal opportunity cost thanks to the new Veteran tree layout
Where text go
Not really
YEAHH
Specially with their positioning on the tree
Time to put another 400 hours into Vet
now if you see a big guy with armour, you can just throw a krak at them and not worry about saving them for a Spawn or something
it's great
veteran grenade economy has never been better
The Vet moment of throwing a krak grenade at a crusher only for your teammate to kill it before the grenade has gone off will finally be reduced
Time to finally pick up vet again my first level 30
Power falchion set up and new vet build anyone?
Ill take pictures of the vet build I made by going “that seems useful”
demolition stockpile, the blue node right above VOC, is basically mandatory since most everyone's still taking VOC
so almost every vet build is gonna be regenerating +1 grenade every 60 seconds
Neat
Are the marksman focus modifers worth it
Also
Or nah
mkIII boltgun is slower and deals less but it feels very satisfying
Did commodore update?
Cause I'm debating taking them on the helbore
Not yet
Blowing my head off
Wasn't everyone already taking this?
I'm personally going to play Exe a lot more
They have been datamined tho
Just went “that looks neat”
I wasns't, at least
redirect fire is always good
it's so good
Youre the exception then
Yo what new weapon cosmetics?
that's a FT subnode?
Noone has posted them yet I'm afraid
yar
Seems every is getting 2 helmets tho
oh wait
Free grenade regen is one of the strongest things you can get
Neat
i read wrong
Hoping for vigilant/Helbore skin
I like that all the vet nade nodes are not easily accesible
opportunity cost was too great considering my build, it was too far out the way
things are different now with the new vet tree layout
It was right above shout
not only is grenade regen more meaningful, but it's less cost
got a screenshot of the old vet tree?
Tried making a semi-sniper vet build
Using the helbore and falchion
I still need to do some testing and play around with the nodes to see what sticks and what doesn't,though
No but it was 100% right above shout
Gimme a bonkers build rn
@umbral scaffold
thx
I like just being a sniper for the team tbh
As in picking off elites with executioner's stance
It's not disabled for me
Just not updated
It seems
I meant the place to buy guns mb
Oh
I call commodore the slopshop and the armory exchange the commodore
Infiltrate icon on gameslantern looks weird
Does the crusher HP buff affect auric/havoc too?
Scrambled cause it's stealthy, duh
Weakspot damage and crit damage
It got missingno'd
now would it be worth bringing the extra grenade or nah
I got the tickler
I also wish we could chain stealth timers after using Infiltrate
Like if you could extend the stealth duration with headshots ala Exe Stance
Hey it’s dumpstat is mobility right?
what the hell 
Yeah
Those were already in the game before
yeah the knife buff
The Accatran's best friend
it was 20% brittleness though
Exploit weakness got replaced
They really buried shock trooper all the way down the left tree 
not a flat +20% damage
I'd say it's usable now
Question: what’s the best keystone and Ult for a Bolter Veteran for High Havocs?
i am makin new plas-knife build
It's really just
You just spray till you have 1 bolt left in the magazine
And then keep going
Is it optimal? Probably not
vet now summons a portal directly into the warp
Okay nevermind doing some testing in an ideal scenario you can just continuously bolter fire and still have time to reload
Just need to make sure you have at least 1 round left in the magazine
This shit is so goofy
I need to test how it does with the new mark, though
So is chainaxe activated bad like the chainsword was?
i went all in with all the perks on the right

Is VOC still mandatory?
Honestly tactical reload might be dumpable with volley adept
Now that I am testing it
Plus volley adept doesn't decay it seems
There's probably more of an argument for Exe Stance in Havoc now
Anything below Havoc, run whatever you want
That's nice
But Exe is great personal surviviability now on top of your killing potential
I need to get back to H40 to really test it
We all got reset back to H30 today
I just wanna make the helbore more viable
Any easy way to know how much rending you need to pen carapace? specifically for infantry autoguns
I will live and die by that lasgun
Helbore is plenty viable!
Let us know when you do.
My beloved
Might not be for a bit lol
Helbore is legit one of the best vet guns
I found my niche and I am happy with it
Helbore is really good
No such thing as easy
I recall when it was bad
They always were
Arbites
Or well
It's just one of the few guns that actually takes practice
People said they were
It wasn't ever bad, but it was a lot harder to use before the buffs
Just wondering if Onslaught + rending strikes + Chink in their Armor is overkill lol
in a game where plasma existed
It's more so the one gun I never refused to drop
It's litteraly just for Crushers too
I just found that it tickled that itch in the folds of my brain
Helbore is the closest thing we have to a longlas right now, so I'm ride-or-die on the Helbore
Sniping is fun!
Hell yeah.
The only scenario in which I'll drop the helbore is if we get a true longlas or other sniper rifle equivalent
Like a needler
Got a no items available screen for Melk and the requestions at the armory. 
Yeah the item shops are quasi disabled
Yeah same
Or a Purgatus Crossbow
or something similar
Skill issue
True
I am only dropping it if we get another weapon that I can frankenstein into a sniper rifle
(the vigilant doesn't count, I don't like it)
I'm not home from work yet, but can I have an updated veteran build
They got buffed btw
How so?
Ayo
Zarona revolver and bolter can also be used like snipers
Yeah but I could never truly enjoy those
A part of why I like the helbore is the charge mechanic tbh
i thought this said "transfem into a sniper rifle" for some reason
Seriously… why nerf the Headhunter Autoguns??
It was a buff
They got buffed
I mean, whatever makes you happy and go out onot the frontlines.
Look at the ADM
I tested it. They are literally weaker in terms of damage vs Carapace.
This makes no difference to me considering I exclusively play the game at 66% audio.
Yeah I tend to listen to a podcast or music while playing
What kind?
I haven't even gotten home yet from work
Oh, so you're the sort of guy that ignores the Bomber stomping around 3ft behind him.
Good to know.
Like c'mon man

game good, servers fucking dying xD
Weapons needed?
loving the reworks
I listen to music/podcasts at an appropiate volume to hear them
Why are you listening to music instead of the Darktide soundtrack.
this is pretty barebones
I usually listen to podcasts
Disposal unit my beloved
It's music sparsely
Darktide soundtrack is GOAT
Yeah I love it
Imperial Advance gets me in the mood to Magdump the Karnak Twins.
I just tend to enjoy it more in my spare time cause I tend to focus too much on the game to notice the OST
Bro emerged from his slumber for new update lol
So I might just have Immortal Imperium playing when I'm doing the dishes
That's why you take kraks with vigil, no?
You take joe mama
^
I always take that
That or a good melee
DN is a great talent now
What's DN
💀
DEEZ NUTS
DeathNutter?
You used to be able to. I know that it was one of my favorites. I enjoy sniper rifles, and I don’t particularly like non-ballistic weapons.
I am rather fond of the Chainaxe.
The Benevolent Helbore:
Bro's shooting carapace with Vigi

Did any guns get nerfed?
Boltgun has less ammo now.
Again… I don’t like non-ballistic weapons.
Well fuck
also to answer my own question; no
LOL
Use Scavenger, Noob.
amazing
Boltgun has less ammo
Sybau
Bricked fr
me when i take off my glasses
Dedge
Fatshark nerfed boltgun just to make way for Baoelter
God I love trench fighter drill
You WILL use Scavenger.
You WILL passively support your Team.
You WILL have a reason to engage Elites in Melee instead of turning them into Spaghetti Chunks with your Boltgun.
Again… in the interest of a fair conversation/argument, you used to be able to. The ADM currently is too low. I never played Headhunters after they got renamed to Vigilants granted, but prior to that, Marksman’s Focus Headhunters had good TTK vs Carapace.
I never could use it
Not that I disliked it
No
Just never really had the chance to

Okay cool.
30 fucking Crushers upon ye.
what do you think about the chainsword now
I've yet to try it
Post update, I mean
it feels worse
Dies from ligma
the chainsword i mean
God it feels so good having a more streamlined talent tree
whats ligma?
I might actually play vet now the power falch is so good
The thing that killed Steve jobs
I still have no idea who Steve jobs is
he's the guy who invented the j*b application
Guy who founded apple
Okay I think for now I figured out the builds for my previous setups
big deal i found an apple too
Funnily enough, my friend said he had a dream where vet didn't get a rework
And I crashed out
and vet now had a rework
perils
Funnily enough, this is the second time I appeared in his dreams
At least that I know of
what keystone should i run?
Thats the aura
yeah i did fireteam
Fireteam is prob the weakest one of the bunch
weapons specialist is fun
They're all pretty good as far as I can see melee spec for melee and marksman focus for like reconlasgun
The amount of toghness regen per second you can get now is insane, especially with the +40% toughness regen from left keystone
but if you want something more generalized go with focus target
Marksman can also work for helbore now
But I'm not sure
+5% damage is kind of a nothingburger compared to replenishing ammo or faster move speed
I think focus target still works better with the helbore cause of the single shot damage it has
they got rid of the losing stacks while moving so i'd imagine it would work with anything you'd just get the stacks faster with a high rpm weapon
oh word??
You need to kill to get stacks
Stacks also decay insanely slow
so i should run the helbor then?
You sit at 12+ most of the time
Hits just refresh duration
Yeah but I'm just weird like that
And I look at everything through the lens of "does it work with my beloved?
I think marksman focus wins over focus target with helbore because the additional finesse and rending means the single shot burst of damage potential is larger
is the armory exchange and melk store empty for anyone else?
is toughness replenishment coherency regen?
The fast firing infantry autogun with marksman two-shots everything without carapace now lmao
also I know it's pretty early but what's the dump stat for power falc? im guessing mobility
@tall torrent i have most of the ranged damage nodes this thing is a fucking mistake
Take some rending or Brittleness.
Also because you keep the extra damage between targets and you don't have to wait for stacks to mark a new target though I'd imagine you would do less single target damage because focus target can reach 30% more damage for the entire team
Hmm did they unnerf shock trooper to apply to all crits again or does it still have a internal cooldown
Kraks go brr, they one shot crushers, you get them back insanely quick and crushers spawn less often now
I want to get revolver to one shot a Crusher.
I believe been "fixed" for a while
avg boltpistol performance
lol
you know how your problem with boltpistol is that it does too little damage
WELL THIS ONE DOES LESS
Both the new boltweapon marks seem like a meme
Tbh I use focus target with the helbore almost exclusively on crushers/maulers
should make the explosion apply the bleed blessing
gun shredder frag
No
I don’t like it because it’s off in everything
well this one is worse :3
lmao
does it have the weird aimpunch on firing still?
ok but it sounds different
if it had the +strength on stagger blessing I'd imagine it would be ok
idk if pinning would make it better
the AOE stagger is pretty big so you'd proc it easy
it's like 6m~
I prefer my guns, but you do you.
I also prefer Frags
well that's the thing, you CAN build differently now and not HAVE to bring strictly elite-killing weapons now
what do you think I'm saying lol
Power falchion, yay or nay?
How the new veteran perks feeling?
it's peak
good stuff
the mk1 pushattack light combo is great for ragers
oh this new vet skill tree pleases me very much.
A…
More like
A good darktide update…
Peak Falchion
in this economy?
Does Rending Strikes affect ALL weapons or just melee weapons?
-# ignoring the drip
The same thing that I was saying. As long as you have some anti-carapace tool in your kit, it’s fine.
All.
Sweet, my lasrifle gets an upgrade. ty for answering
You know what I just realised the new bolter marks are for the arbites because it staggers more enemies than the standard bolter thanks to it's larger aoe and will synergies with the arbites stagger skills
Also no one answered my question: which Keystone for Bolter vet?
I think the mk1 falchion push attack light combo might be the highest dps into armor on the weapon
Any works
If you accept that it's a worse but more nimble Psword
Then yay
Weapon specialist
And which Ult?
if you want bosses to die very hard, focus target good with bolter
VoC
Focus target which I think is better or weapon specialist if you are going hybrid as you are less likely to hit a weak spot with a bolter
You would be surprised. But in general I really like Weapons Specialist. And VoC. Although VoC is so incredibly boring.
How are you less likely
I like it too but for a range focus I would go focus target
I wish VoC was removed from the game.
Bigger projectile means more likely to hit the body instead of the head
Its not
It is
Projectiles prioritise weakspots over body
Did the vigilant autoguns really need that nerf to their ammo and HS multipliers? Gonna check out how they feel but it needs to be a huge improvement since I could already hit the heads (and not kill things in a single shot) with them
nah screw that infil vet needs to die before anything else does
No matter the size
No
what if instead of gold toughness it just granted like 70% toughness damage reduction and refilled the toughness of those in range?
Plasma almost never hits the head
Their base damage is much higher and theres been other improvements as well
Specially maniac adm
Not to mention the ADM
It got a buff… of all things
For some reason
It got a buff cause it wasnt really good
sounds better, but make it like 40% for 10 seconds or something. Still strong.
Stealth isn’t good? That’s a new take. Sure compared to Gold Toughness nothing is good.
The build
Zealot tree walked so we can die 👏
zealot vs zealot that screams
Having the damage modifier built in to the base ability now incentivizes people using it to actually engage into combat
Truly a sad day
is this a revolver build
or bolt gun
Brother this is an ALL build
It was alright but it didnt really do much on its own
I'd say that would be too far a nerf right now VOC basically makes you invulnerable I'd like it to be at least as good as the arbites "True grit"
i dunno i wouldn't run that with plasma gun
Yeah just check and they're kinda crappy now
We have become Zealot
are you guys saying they nerfed the vigilant autoguns
at least you could randomly stay on target before, now you have to reaquire every time unless you don't like firing quickly.
They got buffed
They changed em more like, I don't like how they did but I'm sure other people do.
What's the dumpstat for hellbore lasguns?
worse against hard targets?
WS has been the meta keystone for Plasma for over a year
Did you come back from launch? 🤔
A bit but against pretty much everything else its better
has it
Specially maniac
Stability
Recoil on the 3 shot from the center of the psykanium now lets you headshot a trapper by aiming at their crotch the vertical recoil is that much more
assuming mobility is the falchions dumpstat?
i thought the buffs were all about making them usable in accuracy and recoil
Most likely mobility
Exactly. You used to be able to get an appreciable TTK vs Crushers? Now, I guess they kinda suck vs Carapace. A sniper rifle… that can’t penetrate.
Longshot finally bieng viable. Never thought I'd see the day it finally happens
anyone know the blessings for it?
itll be good
Probably Cranial + Heatsink
thanks
Or
Thats just the crusher buff you're seeing the only thing that changed vs carapace is the single shot getting better
Cranial Leakage
precciate
They nerfed them vs the important hard targets. Still decent vs anything not Carapace.
uhh that wasn't on the changelog was it
Vigil autoguns or hellbore after this patch?
Lets hope their crusher spawn tweak 100% worked, because double health crushers in the same numbers they were will be interesting
Actually I'll take it a step further
It has been the best keystone for the majority of Vet builds 😈
Carapace were not the important targets for shooting
Helbore still king
No. Damage fell off by 50 percent per shot. Vs Crushers.
man not liking the new Falchion
Which gun?
just feels like I can run away from enemies rather than kill them
kinda hate the new falchion moveset
mark 3 or mark 1?
try push attack light into armor/rager very high dps
Maniac is a much more valuable target for guns because of how many specialists have it
that was like the only good move it had though
How does get feels now?
it's just not reliable enough
both marks?
both marks
troubling
Get?
the light-light heavy-> light heavy works well for horde clear
i'll have to check it out
na it just isn't working
back to good old mark 6
I can't run like the Falchion can but then again I don't need to
It's good to see PS becoming a monster tho 😈
sounds OP
Yeas but no
shame
Doesn't fall off on non 1 shot at least.
It's really hard to maintain
mk1 is alright ive been doing push light heavy
oneshot some trash and then you have like 120% finesse from one blessing yeah?
wrath any good?
rip
Not 99.9% to 0
ah yeah that's fucked
wrath any good?
A single teammate breathing on a target
815 hp on a scab bruiser is a hard ask with the falchion it feels lol
does the power falchion have energy leakage?
i wish it had other finesse blessings instead of that
Messes it up
Yes
yes
nice
Depends
I don't really have cleave values rn
So don't know if wrath is worth
I’m working with like 4% brainpower give me a break
How does vet feel now after the rework?
But wrath has never been worth
i don't imagine it has any problem cleaving while powered on
stronger
Cranial still does finesse rather than just weakspot right?
its much more mobile than power sword
and no annoying special spam i kinda like it
moveset takes some time to get used to
tbh i wish they also swapped the powersword to this mechanic
so i wouldn't need to use a toothpick as a weapon
Dueling sword has been found dead in a ditch
I guess Falchion dump is power output?
nope mobility
Mobility
ps6 feels so much better than falc
yeah light -> light -> heavy -> block cancel -> repeat was my horde clear
and vet not having any of the uninterruptible tech doesnt make the heavy part feel good
L->L->H->L->[H<->L]
maybe falchion is ok with weapon special due to +25% melee attack speed and the other buffs
i think thats the ideal horde clear combo but man i get interrupted so often
I tried it with Focus Target for the funny bolter
Try weaving pushing and dodging into the combo more often
man i don't want to return to the knife
I've never been interrupted in a combo in darktide tho lmao
here's my build that I've updated with the new tree. The notes down bellow have a lot of flexibility https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9f3c6424-3c04-4446-9875-2fcdecb5b950/flexible-helbore-havoc
"I've never been hit before"
the push attack gooes mostly into single target
not push attack
just push
i’ll give this a whirl
thank you friend
straight into second horizontal light
not really a fan of weapons with these tedious combos tbh
been using this for my basic bitch vet build
relic mk2 feels much better than this idkk why
New Grenadier vet is fucking ludicrous levels of OP
With the same double heavy light stab combo right?
yea mb it was push light heavy
yeah I need to try it out lol
now that I don't need to throw points all across the tree, it should be pretty funny
WAIT THEY BUFFED LONGSHIT???
I keep thinking the first heavy on the falchion (not sure which mark) is going to come from the right but its actually a strikedown
@hybrid plover
still running shred grenades?
yes
PA->heavy for horde clear idk if its optimal
insane
I think I have the other mark, because the one I was using was a strikedown on first heavy attack
thats the mkx
but they didn't do anything for fire team????
so there's still no reason to not choose surv
Move speed aura is pretty good
new boltguns are just superior
true but you can also get 5% movespeed from a stat node
eh they do less damage and have less ammo the new bolt pistol isn't better imo but the new boltgun is ok
oh right they added new bolt pistols right?
Yes
Do the crushers not come in big easily cloven hordes now actually?
Crowd control/stagger guns
why everyone decline my join request in havoc since update 😭
i could only join a lvl 1 game
Those dont make your teammates faster though
how do they compare to the revolver now
counter-point: Sniper in a horde
new bolt pistol cannot oneshot headshot gunners without a crit
who gives a fuck you're gonna be the only one in your own coherency like 90% of the time
wowzers
it has a 6m explosion though
I might actually run competitive urge on a build for the first time ever lmao
Shrimply crit on every shot
How's vet feeling? On par with Arby yet?
one good thing about the new bolter is Pinning Fire is instant 5 stack guaranteed UwU
no, but definitely feels better to play
I think it would be funny if the explosions caused the bleed blessing to proc
It's so good, vet is back
they don't?
god I still dream of bleed explosion combo
only on the target that is hit with the bullet
people are testing it rn but the new tree looks good
and the bullet damage is the one that kills the target, i imagine
according to the patch notes more of the damage is "explosive" so maybe it kills bursters better
new tree looking great I just wish they would buff fire team at all
So
Nothing changed
rolled first bolt pistol and it's already a perfect roll
old bolt pistol doesn't oneshot bursters though iirc
more explosive damage is worse rigth?
i don't think explosive damage benefits from finesse unless i'm wrong
Godwyn MkVI with it (New AOE BP) and its just
not really it's just that the new pistol does like 100 less base damage
Does new bolt pistol have any reason to not dump collat
If it directly affects your damage output then chances are its not the dump stat
well mobility is also bad
maybe if you want to stagger ragers/crushers better
It affects your accuracy while moving
no?
Is marksmans focus good now!!
oh nvm it does
On bistol it does
Better
Eh
You can move around and not lose stacks
Mixed
Exe stance feels amazing
should have been permanent and resetted on a miss/received hit
Yeah
over a full minute to lose all stacks
Isnt it 50 seconds
whats the newset hottest recon lagun build lads?
that's still really good
The stacks decay one at a time, you don't lose your full bonus at a checkpoint or in an elevator
can take talent to make max stacks 15
erm actually is 57 seconds
Ye
so you’re BOTH wrong
use havoc forged
or ts if you have it
Ill be looking forward to using MMF with exe
Helpful if you build for it I should say*
Ye it takes a while to lose all the stacks
Is games lantern updated yet I want to theory craft builda while im at work
btw does helbore dump charge rate
Never
Yes
Stability dump
