So how about that krak nade buff though
Yes
Ammo nerf
Hopefully so
That's it
krak is 1sec explode now, have seen a lot less "wasted" kraks in the last 2-3 missions I was in
Anyone found a use for the new boltgun mark?
Cc
you mean not memes?
nice
Still feels worse against crowds than the MKii
I would say its better imo. You can get more at once
Just does less damage
Yeah but it kinda felt like it fails the second anything above a poxwalker came near you.
Honestly though i don't see its value for cc, slow to deploy and slow to reload with low mag count
oh with the big aoe it has does the bleed blessing work good?
It does
Oh right bleed blessing memes. Should do that
Personally i wouldn't use it for much but its nifty i think
So it's just an outright downgrade from the iiB, damn.
if it doesn't it should lol
Just go pinning brittleness instead
You sure? I think I'm remembering wrong then
Bolt-pistol MkVI might be a decent panic stagger.
I haven't heard anyone talk about the chain sword changes, disappointing?
Never use it lol
No idea, haven't used a chainsword in ages. Shovel > everything.
No one used Chainsword
I'm someone so I don't count
But I haven't played dt today
So dunno
Actually just got into Psykhanium
did they change how the infiltrate effect looks or am I just going insane
i swear it wasn't that bright
I use the chainsword! Great weapon; best against maulers.
I like bolt weapons for armor shred and also for just general use.
Big bullet go boom
Did any content creator post a new plasma vet build? I hate working with the tree and just want the "meta" build
the patch has been out for 7 hours there is no meta yet lol
well some content creators had early access
Also; there isn't a "meta" unless you're hunting specific specials or enemies
Welp. Enemy Plasma gunners
there absolutely is lol
yes
I will definitely be eating my gun
So grenade boxes only give vets up to 3 'nades now.
And you can't pick them if you are 3/4 full.
Or am I bugged to heck?
Probably bugged
might be a bug, they combined the +1 nade and double nade perk, could have forgot the flag to allow pickups or something
Enhanced Blitz Arby's will only Regen to 3 grenades instead of 5
Like, I can 60 sec to 4 full or 5% RNG.
new best vet melee imo
power sword VI for pure dps
cbt axe III for blend of dps & defense
tac axe VII for defense
Also, IDK why ppl say much changed with DS4... I still poke things in the head in 4 hits.
And Path is always unamused by my build.
I will not fall for taxe propaganda

just make it dodging pls
skirmisher actually does something now yeah
I mean you can slide out of dodges so close enough
I've never found a meta. I just run what I think is fun.
I love the commander build with bolt pistol, and chainsword.
costs +1 dodge tho
I'm pleased to tell u that with the new dmg talents
rashad is back on menu for vet
what does threat mean?
4 tap 6k hp crusher with decent consistency (pretty high dmg spec tho)
it means its an auto take for infiltrate
I don't like it
granted I only use infiltrate on a fucking meme max damage melee vet
I can't use reaction emojis but I am making an ugly face
lowkey actually think PS6 and rashad are roughly equal atm for vet depending on what u prefer
playstation 6 
i dont know who rashad is but he sounds powerful
damn ig im saving on rerolls this time
gigachad weapon
what do yall think about deadshot with the new stamina regen and stamina talents
I hope we get a high capacity autogun for veteran and zealot. Drum mag all the way.
Want to vberify something: Deadshot does not work for plasma gun, correct?
mid villain, will smith was the better fit but idris did good
Am in the psykhanium rn, the stamina bar isn't popping up when I'm charging it.
can power sword mk6 one shot bulwark or is that a shovel thing only
Wait Rashad is also giga broken?
j means you're lower on the priority list for enemy targeting
I hope we get this belt fed stubber that Fatshark has been teasing us with on the talent screen, for about 2 years now
u can 2 tap both ragers
4 tap the newly giga buffed 6k hp crusher
hit for ~3k on ogryns
(without agile engagement active)
I think u might not even need unarmored?
marksman's focus buff is crazy actually, thank you obesefish ๐
been using this on damnation just now, its kinda really really ass
finally i can move
like giga ass
@orchid hemlock it's not as fast TTK as power sword VI but it can stagger bulwark and crusher on weakspot hit with overhead
and the push atk is medium stagger vs ragers, whereas power sword is light stagger vs ragers
it's kinda better to think of rashad as DS + PS6 hybrid in role atm
bro upgrade yo weapon ๐
yeah when I get some trash to throw into it
sure
but tbh this should be fine
but its really not
Weakspot damage
Did they get rid of "Determined" passive?
ugh but the melee talents are so much easier to reach I dunno if I want to lose attack speed or desperado for the rending
and just shoot everything
its built in on vet now
15 stacks is obvious because big boy dps increase
bro has ass blessings, ass perks and unupgraded stats and wants to complain the new sword isn't instagibbing
LETS GO
it takes like 3 hits to kill a goon enemy
fr fr
whats up with that
New sword is good
Maybe I am just too used to the braindead Rashad swinging, but so far I don't really like the Falchion movesets much lol. I know, probably skill issue and I just need to get used to it. 
But didn't dethrone any of the previously good weapons on Vet
this is good
shit doesn't need to be meta defining to be good
I dont know about this
damn that's a HEALTHY boy
this sword has zero armor pen?
Decapitator
Heh
You were set to failure

marksmen focus doesn't look just terrible now
Can the 200% cdr talents stack during their 3 second duration?
decapitator overload lmfaooooo
can yall focus
bro pick better blessings on god
and better perks
ok yall are fucking trolling
on the base
you're fucking trolling w overload ๐ ๐ ๐
Which base?
anyways what are the new bolter marks like
oh my god they buffed the chainsword 
'can yall focus'
My brother in the Tau'va, a new update just dropped, everyone is going wild!
whatever im out I forgot darktide discord is full of garbage
No one cares about it
No treble?
@tropic halo Everything you do will generate threat on the enemies, making it more likely that they will attack you over someone else. This allows you to not only drop all threat you have with Infiltrate, but also generate less for a certain duration after leaving stealth, therefore.. saving you.. from getting instantly targeted in whatever potentially awkward situation you may have moved yourself into.
which stat do i dump for the falchion mobility or heat management?
Basically every weapon sucks at body hits
mobility
Don't even know why you're bringing it up
gotcha
Have you seen dclaws base body against flak
Fine... I'll break out the kuli guide....
Not heat management
Falchion compared to Relic Blade has longer uptime but also longer cool down period
ya right here
You want heat management up there
okay so the new bolters are straight worse than the other counterpart damage wise
but have enormous explosions that stagger
I can work with that tradeoff imo
LETHAL PROX LETS GOOOOO
๐ฅ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ
They saw that the new paid class was all about stagger then added ranged weapons all about stagger
like damn
vigilant autogun with voc and marksman keystone is the best shotgun build ive played
ah thought as much good to know
i feel like literally all veterans will now be grenadiers
going to be a little more interested in kraks with the new crusher hp
mostly on my recon build though
it's a bit wack they buffed the krak so hard
although honestly it has a respectable TTK on crushers too
Yeah, even my mk5 ogryn can't One-shot them now, that's crazy
They were necessary changes
and i wonder how hard krak CAN hit now, with double throw and the +75%.
fair
I havent seen a really devistating crusher train yet, maybe that will convince me to krak
crusher guaranteed onehits crushers but i think its just guaranteed to do that
as opposed to actually having 6500 damage
Shorter fuse and 1 extra nade makes them significantly better to use
but i need to test once creature spawner works
I need to see how tinker kraks do against crushers
There's a DH at the other end of the bridge, cant shoot to that direction 
i love buffed crusher health, they were so weak before
its overkill against crushers
It seems bugged but I tested the mk5 on solo play and you can 2 special heavy attack them, they definitely are beefed up
Was the rumbler touched?
Is this also the case in H40
No
surely tinker krak 1shots auric crushers?
regular krak 1shots auric crushers
Still can one shot crushers
ah nice
Im more curious about H40 crushers not auric
I forget how much dmg kraks do baseline
crusher is no problem
are Kraks still pretty much only single target?
the scab plasma is the new problem
hard to test now since i cant spawn monstrosities
cancer af
i got a few multikills on crusher packs
it's a plasma gun, those shits HURT
they have an aoe with decent (not oneshotting anything) damage
but way smaller than shredders
Yeah you usually chuck them at bulwarks and reapers, or monstrosities to stun
sorry I should've clarified I meant like outside of stuff super stacked on top of each other
it should hit groups of crushers fine
had one spawn on a ledge out of bounds and snipe us 200 feet out, was legit
hilarious gun
Now that crushers are meaty idk if its worth using in h40 on crushers
Then no, it's still very limited
if you run into a scab plasma patrol + bulkwark
until they make shredder not knock everything I cant see how they wont be the best
it could be run ender
i think they specifically intent krak to be the anti crusher weapon
pretty sure
Ok thank you
Crushers are pretty inconsequential enemies if you can avoid the over head, which is easy to do
even if you tinker em
Reading Bruiser, I see no mention of stacking, so I'm assuming only one instance of the cdr talent up at a time for Tactical Awareness.
They could buff Crushers to 20k HP and people would still find a way to kill the crusher before your krak detonates for the penance ๐
Removing bulwarks and reapers is far higher priority
shredder should probably not knock ogryns tbh
But idk about h40 crushers guess we'll have to wait and see
you get more and they explode pretty much on impact but their individual damage isnt as high iirc
train could be scary now, krak might be nice to have around... solo ones aint shit still
what's even better with auric cruisher hp is that it feels even better to use spearhead on em.
Half mag on the crusher, does it kill now?
Does bistols lethal prox still apply to krak nades? might make it slightly more consistent
They should lower the rate of fire of that enemy, too oppressive. They are tanky as well.
They should make it so scab plasmas can't fire from out of bounds ๐
They are basically mauler's with guns
Caparace heads and flak body iirc
but they have sniper accuracy
thinking of going with this+laspistol for gun vet starting oin new patch
with that enemy now introduce to the game, the cooldown nerf hurt.
It does but the radius was too small to matter much.
Might be different now, not sure
lol im such a moron, they have a fucking BUCKET HEAD and I was head shotting them all game XD
debating on if BiD is worth it over just swinging over to the right and getting skirmisher
so my infernal habit of dodge sliding turns into DAMAGE
maulers I gut shot like a psycho, of course
Yeah, just like the mauler's you must body shot them
must bodyshot them?
Now that it boost while sliding it might be worth taking
exe stance to 1 shot a mauler im crying
Must? No, but many weapons benefit of hitting the flak over the body, instead of the Caparace bucket, specially ranged weapons
I know it's a very sad day
got chink in the armor?
its much easier to keep up now
it's SO close
at an impractical distance you are never going to shoot them at for max longshot boost
and they still live
have you tried moving forward as to add your movement speed to the lasbolt's velocity so it does more damage? 
Really wish they copied the "or Ally" part from the Ogryn and Psyker CDR talents. New Tactical Awareness takes "Find the Specialist before the Dogs or the DoTs" minigame to a whole new level if you run Infiltrate.
would have to drop something that gives more damage for it
are we so back?
Never left, genuinely, just got better.
Can't you rapidly charge shot into quick tap to kill?
At best, we might have kept pace with the other classes, but probably not.
Get both
Why not
man
Suggest veteran build utilizing lasguns and power sword
mind showing the build?
Speaking of the new unit, what's it made out of? I genuinely didn't pay attention, just killed it with weapons that would already check armors.
just spitballing my usual scuffed gun vet build for the new layout
flak body and carapace head
giving up shocktrooper might be worth the crusher oneshot
no
or dropping one toughness talent at the top
no
Mm, makes sense with one infantry lasgun run I had. Figured it was similar to maulers
well see it that way
skirmisher does slightly more damage than BiD tho
if you oneshot loads of crushers you dont need to deal with em in melee 
you probably get there with the ranged backstab perk yeah?
Dump stat on falchion?
Uptime should be really interesting for the next week if it's working.
saw a video of the revolver two shotting a crusher
With all the new talents.
does that look like their back to you
though that's not a half bad idea if I use infantry autogun on gun vet
take that+raking fire
bane of burgles
Mobility is usually the safest bet. I haven't bothered with some testing so generic dump stats are my go-to.
I'm saying the 30% ranged backstab instead of long shot, thought it might kill
25??
Longshot is good.... that's gonna take a minute to digest.
oh
reading comprehension moment
still I'd have to headshot a crusher from behind and that's easier said than done
with their gamer posture
Never learned but do you need to be fully behind them or just hit a zone that's considered behind them?
lol just take infiltrate :^)
now that i can't oneshot crushers, i feel like precog is a good replacement for thrust
No problem but it's never a bad thing to understand if you're trying to make use of backstab effects.
So, what's the general opinion on new power falchion, is it good?
Usually, on my zealot I just sneak in backstabs on mobs and solo goons when they miss.
immediate psykhanium testing seems to be any thing past their arms is "behind"
Apparently it's not as good as a power sword but it's not a slouch of a weapon by any means so far with what I've been doing. Nice horde clear, similar combos to the mkx relic for the mk1 p.falchion so if you're familiar with that, use it the same way. I didn't exactly pay attention to monstrosity and boss damage but feels good enough. Not like you're going to be at a total loss using it.
how are the new autoguns? anyone made a fun build with em yet?
Makes sense. Considering that, it's not too difficult to slide those kinds of things in even in close quarters barring untenable scenarios where one might just need to focus on facing things directly. And of course, infiltrate can also just be used whenever it's available to make the shot happen.
Raking fire definitely about to get looked at again by me. I've used it before plenty of times but want to see what it can do now especially with recent changes. So many more opportunities to squeeze things in.
i have

Build: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9fc24211-6faf-479c-9f5f-ff4895db3c44
what is the first clip? Auric?
yup
Well hey I wanted to have a more m1 garand feeling option, seems good
You try this with other melee options? I don't mind t.axe but I prefer something with more reach usually.
taxe is just my favorite, but i would recommend either power sword, the new falchion or some other safe pick, since youre not investing in melee talents really
Backstab?
It's 120ยฐ behind them
Flanking is 180ยฐ
darktide
Is that the same angle as vermintide? Never knew but I played the hell out of Shade
Then it's labeled wrong, cause I'm getting the extra damage at 180
uh
isnt it backstab+flanking in the desc?
or am i mistaking it for a zealot talent that specifies that
id post screenshot but it says +30% to Ranged Backstab Attacks
Mm, was just wondering. That's typically always the case for me with veteran when I'm not 100% sure about trying some combinations and just say fuck it lemme just use the strong option that doesn't need to be babysat with talents to squeeze out better performance.
whats the talent name again
covert operative
Covert Operative, second tier talent in the cluster. Bottom right of it.
ranged backstabs are flanking I guess
whoever writes those descriptions is illiterate
Yeah basically
funny thing is that they did use the term flanking for the first time this patch
Backstab should still be 120ยฐ
in zealot's tree
Did kuli update zealots yet
Darktide without Kuli guide would be rough.
Sweet
I saw that zealot was the only thing kuli hasn't updated
their developers are segregated i think
I guess the question is was it intended as ranged flanking bonus or did they really mean the 120 backstab
whoever writes desc for talents cannot communicate at all
with the people that code it
judging by the string name its intended
but idk
hard to tell whats intended
I mean that's assuming the developer implemented it correctly
we cant know for sure where the actual idea lies
i think what you wanted to say is that flanking includes backstab in it
that's such a stupid distinction
So if its a backstab its also flanking but not necessarily the other way around
I was curious if the zealot perk got a double dip for being both flanking and backstabbing
good question
I'm darking it, I'm gonna tide
"ranged backstab" lol
So seems like there is no such thing as ranged backstab or melee flanking
pain
The backstab is the 180 degree cone?
they shouldve used the term flanking
Flanking is what the commisar did to your mom after the reworks /j
Yeah ranged backstab doesn't exist and that probably wasn't well communicated to the front end boys
Ah
and yet zealot's talent does differentiate and uses both keywords correctly :^)
So I'm understanding the convo, are we discussing the degree at which the audio for ambush attacks play?
No, distinctions between flanking and backstabbing. Clarity of player interaction.
No someone asked what the angle for "ranged backstab" was and it turns out it doesn't exist and the talent should read "flanking damage" or "ranged flanking damage"
It's a front end typo for a talent that works in the backend
Is the audio que same at least?
Bro I don't even know what a backstab sounds like lol
Basically
If it's not on your line of sight
Then it plays the sound
It's similar to the crit sound without the orange visual iirc.
There's a sound cue for successful backstabbing in vt2 that has a similar mixing situation.
what are the best perks on helbore again?
I heard that there are no iframes for dodging in DT but mobs stop tracking your position during the dodge and that's how damage is avoided, is that right?
For melee yes
damn
You do get iframes when dodging for ranged enemies iirc
They also delay their trageting. When they actually shoot, they don't track
Something I've noticed
Unless your a gunner
To which, fuck dreg gunners
While I'm asking questions, how are smoke grenades supposed to work? I notice that frequently I'll throw one and dreg gunners will just continue to fire thru it
they lose tracking on you but they'll fire where they last spotted you
Haven't used them in a minute so I forgot but it's usually nicer to throw them into enemies to force them to stagger and give you time.
what is the dump stat for power falcion?
Mobility is often the safest bet
morbility
is there a single weapon where the dump stat isn't mobility?
weapons with collateral I guess?
Usually that's down to preference in some weapon cases
I don't like doing it typically unless I'm going for something very specific.
I bet you can run a lasgun of some sort with ammo as dump as vet
Recon las with onslaught
I...personally wouldn't do that but maybe.
dueling sword iirc, some weapons with defense stat, ripper guns
how goods power falcion vs dueling sword?
Also weapons that dont even have the mobility stat in the first place
For recon lasgun, sometimes people can find use in dumping collateral to make using the gun in melee more liberal but 60% mobility is often never the end of the world. Having it at 80 for a gun like that and any melee weapon that accommodates that choice turns you into a pretty flexible mobile cretin.
Do dmg buffs apply to bleed or shredder explosion dmg?
Falchion should have better horde
falmer dumps damage
Im getting ready to power level falcion so I wanna know if its worth using over dueling
Throw wherever you're going
And stay inside the smoke
If you stay inside they'll stop shooting
Like infiltrate underhand shredder might be neat due to 30% dmg during invis and after invis
What about Rashad? ๐ค
not nearly as fast

Power Sword dumps cleave target
Just use it if you want, man. It's not really something that falls short of being able to address hordes and weaker elites.
I fucking hate that but understand why. Genuinely don't like it without the full cleave damage. It's not super necessary but I like that whenever I just happen to get forced into using it unpowered.
yea
power sword (cleave targets)
combat axe V (cleave targets)
infantry autogun V (ammo)
etc
Cleave target, not cleave damage
bunch of psyker stuff dump warp res too, or did, probably hasnt changed
Misspoke but I meant cleave target.
All but VoidSTRIKE dumps wr

Tbh, I think 60 to 80 cleave target is like
new boltgun fucking slaps
... half a scab bruiser?
VoidSTRIKE dump is Blast Radius because the bowling ball is the damage not the explosion at the end
It depends on the weapon
i lvoe that all of that came down to math shenanigans
But say
Power sword
Power sword
Unpowered
At 60 cleave targets
Is 10.9 cleave
Unpowered at 80 cleave targets
Is 11.7 cleave
On the big sweeps that is
this is activated
unpowered is 3.2 vs 3.6
too low to matter
What's mass of a scab bruiser again?
3.5
Right
Oh yeah
Fuck
I forgot about it
Woops I guess

But still
10.9 or 11.7
Anyway, can't seem to two tap crushers with power sword anymore
Unless crit or focus target
is the new bolter worth using btw
Yesnt
I heard its decent
a splash bolter?
Very nice in ws builds I've used.
speaking of falcion best variant and best perks?
Haven't used that mark yet but mk1 is relic mkx so pretty versatile and potent enough to not be lacking on debut.
Neither are lacking
I think people said mk1 is better
But I'm not sure
I use the same blessings on it that I would use for relic blade
Lol why not?
Maybe they're on cool guy time, idk.
can you elaborate? would it happen to be heatsink related stuff?
Probably should figure out which mod is doing htat
Yeah. Heat sink on headshots and on kill
Cranial wrath is prob the least shit options
Numeric UI lol
Cranial grounding and heatsink haven't failed me but wrath and cranial grounding are very smooth.
Fair enough
best perk attributes? Ive picked melee weakspot damage and elite 10% damage
I still prefer regular power sword
And my knife
new vet tree is ez
Melee weakspot is not good
Because of Fatshark math
I made a stealth build that has similar choices, I just dont get to use keystone on vet much anyhow meself
good yes, if I chose a non stealth build I'd grab the weap specialist keystone in screenshot
Vet only received one big nerf
vet rework path approved? 
The ability cooldown
They did the bare minimum
I didnโt realize that stacks refresh on weakspot hit
But the pathing is still ass
One of the testers saw that path didn't like the previous 7 buffs to vet
Then the tester locked in
Mmf?
vet is a top 5 class now so mission accomplished
This is basically what i already run for recon las and onslaught
Probably the same tester that path was talking to

NaV buffed vet 7 times
All the buffs missed the mark

What's mmf again?
Ah
Found the slaaneshi, get him lads
Marksman's Focus.
get him lads
very poor choice of words
also is the double barrel shotty any fun/good?
Its okay. We have grenades.
YES and yes
If your target isn't armored.
It's like
The best mixed hordes clearer
Or something along those lines
I particularly haven't used DB in ages
I see. So if I want to shoot armor with a shotty (don't ask why), I should stick with the slug one still
Yes
haha I know, but what if I insist
Which armor exactly? Maulers will suffer from body shots.
Best shottie
the one slug shotty 
I'm assuming when people say armor they mean carapace
because everything else is paper
I know the slug shotty at least can hit crusher and not bounce
slug shotty staggers crushers and opens bulwarks
Rotten armor. 
Damn, those things are unbreakable.
is it just me or is power falchion shit
damn I didn't realize how much I miss DT lol
Desert Tech?
my falchion is only 300 power but im not particularly impressed with it so far
dorktide
Ah.
mine is maxed out and it didn't impress me either
I legit expect a hotfix buff for it
I think that even a small change for it could swing it into "best weapon"
with the new melee and some of the other ones getting changed, whats considered the "best" one
power falchion doing 800 per powered heavy strikedown is .... questionable
Tried fashion on mixed middle and right branch. Pretty powerful in my hands.
it's still mk6 power sword
@grand perch u the vigilant build dude man?
If it just had better flak/carapace multipliers it'd be universally loved I think
Best melee?
Power Sword 6
Rashad Axe
With Psword being king
Then we have dueling sword, knife, tactical axes
Dueling sword is peak. Always wished to parry DH to death.
tac axe got better?
Vet got better
I know its really boring but knife on new melee vet is bonkos
lol
im thinkin thisll work well, though probably swap maniac for carapace
puncture only applies stacks to the target not the AOE
Better swap MK, I guess.
The falchion has one big issue
Taxe also got buffed in the last major patch before this one
yeah i know, i just like puncture
ah ok
oh speaking of flak, idk if you were around for this but Scab Ragers have Carapace chest now
I don't think any 1 shot breakpoints but I think there is a 2 shot breakpoint, would have to test for sure
Useful on maulers. They're tough now.
yeah thank you! I think it's really up to me to actually boot up the game and check out the changes lol
lots of stuff got updated. im excited
The falchion can't be better then the power sword, since it uses the same new heat mechanic as the relic blade.
And it can't be better then the relic blade because zealots would bitch to high heaven (kidding, but its true)
yeah just noting stuff I remember that would be useful :p
When was the last time you played?
But the answer is yes
appreciate it
So its in this.... sort of not quite there yet state, I think
yeah idk what the Falchion was suppose to be
right after they do the new crafting system with Hadron
I think I played a few games during that update and then Helldivers happened
So I must say it's shit
I spent almost all my dockets getting a 69/71 plasma gun just to find out I don't actually like using the weapon. Not my best decision
Oh UnL
Yeah taxes have been buffed since then
And now vet just got better
Darcy died for this kek
And our guide writer just stated that taxe 7 is top 3 melee vet
But as the Taxe is shit guy
Has anyone mentioned long-las today?
I must say that it still shit
yeah, fuck snipers
Just don't mind me saying that
anyone got a screenshot of the helbore's new rear iron sight
it's okay. i hate it too kek
lowkey I can only play the game with Rashad, and maybe dclaw. knife and taxe never clicked for me
Remember vigils autoguns? Something like that.
Hey
Once they remove the cap
I will stop saying it's shit
Until then
i haven't played DT in ages and never used autoguns
Yeah, yeah, jokes on me. However...
was thinking about jumping back in to see how veteran tree rework looked but i'm actually annoyed they changed helbore irons, i like express sights and they were perfectly adequate
pretty sure like 90% of all vets think they were shit
granted I haven't seen the new ones though
most vets couldn't aim anyway so
not like having a rear post is gonna change anything
I like that they put weapon swap speed so accessible
love my fast switch bolter.
Do unyielding and Cara for perks
lol
True that it's now even worse for ling range shooting. Yet, more useful for close engagements. Still bad imo.
Wish the falchion got sunder
the express sights were perfectly accurate anyway, if people couldn't line up shots it was literally skill issue
if you can't line up shots using the crosshair without irons its a skill issue
It's not about accuracy that been bad back in the day, it's about a huge heap of metal in front of your eyes that reduces your field of view significantly. But now it's both.
express sights leave the entire field of view above the barrel unobstructed
werent they misaligned anyway ?
front bead and rear notch are all you need
Some were
True, but I'm more used to track target, not to flick my scope to it.
was it just certain skins ?
Yeah

dude is arguing about making a gun in a video game more accessible for an audience that generally doesn't even know what express sights are
did they fix those at least ?
Vostroyan is fixed now allegedly
nice
express sights are literally more accessible than front and rear posts, particularly rings, especially in video games where depth of field can't be properly represented. this is why a lot of games that have ghost ring/peep sight irons just enlarge the aperture
how is the new bistol mark
What do the new sights look like again
I saw them in a clip and they look a lot better
people were having a hard time aiming with them, that is the opposite of accessibility. There was no tutorial on how to use express sights, people didn't get it. So they changed it.
it's literally line up bead with a rear notch
if you can't do that, idk what to say
okay dude you're a god gun nut
the game even does it for you
How is Weapon specialist compared to marksman focus rn? need it for my Recon/Falchion build
gun vet feels so much nicer to play because I can actually get exhilarating takedown and melee talents now xd
skirmisher is also a FAT damage increase
Stronger but neither synergizes with recon
wtf is an express sight
Idk but who cares
Feels weird not taking tac awareness and bring it down tho
hmm so WS would be better since it synergies with falchion?
I just need a visible front post that isnโt 3 pixels
Yes
though WS is still just used with big single shot guns mostly
Like revolver or dbarrel
They're not lasers tho ๐ข
it's a front bead and a rear v notch
they're the simplest irons besides shotguns which have just a front bead
I need to rebuild my power sword to reliably 3 shot crushers now
they're called "express" sights because they're specifically intended to be fast acquisition on target, mostly seen on big game rifles
you want the most field of view and the clearest sight picture
turns out some people find one of these easier to read
awful
Have Vet builds really changed all that much? Gold toughness is still the king, even with plasma ripping through it, and shredder frags are still better than smoke and krak. The only thing I see changing is that Marksman's focus might be the best keystone now with Recon Las builds but that's it
the left one is so much better
the "best" build might not change significantly, but many builds are now possible that do pretty well that weren't even considerable before
๐ซ
exec stance is way better now
for starters
tree is far less taxed
Either way the helbore's sights, combined with precision demanding fire rate remains a real headache.
oh wtf yeah left iron sight is way better
you dont get punished with no nade regen for not taking voc anymore at least
better pathing
less skill tax means infilitrate and exe stance are worth taking now
I play havoc a lot and build viewer losers are constant I just want some decent variety to be good at high level play
Suggest build with Marksman Focus plox
smokes are better, and kraks are genuinely worth taking now that crushers are SO fucking tanky good lord
How's Brauto/IAGs now?
Big nerf to vet ability cooldown though. Hurts infiltrate particularly badly
Useful in Havoc?
right but when is it just one crusher
The gap between the best and other options has closed significantly
brauto still ass
IAG still death laser that annihilates everything you point it at
just like...a bit more now
In Havoc too?
3 veterans and 1 veteran commissar is peak team
i dont play vet much, but dosent this rework have the same problems as the other 2 reworks? all the good shit being at the very ends of the trees?
have smokes changed? i guess they are faster to pull out but that wasn't really the issue with them
smokes cost a fuckton of skill points to bring
Not really?
they were -3 skill points to take because of where they were located
Nope. At least trench fighter and iron will now in the middle.
now they're not super out of the way
Commissar uses shout, the other 3 just mow everything down and shoot enemies that the commissar marked. I recommend y'all trying that out.
infiltrate has no business being 45 seconds
but now you can get smokes, tinkerer for them, and grenade regen super easy
Vets gets elite superiority now pretty early
it'll only take fatshark another two years to figure out infiltrate does not need a long ass CD
Its great
so you can have the better psyker bubble as your blitz, and it doesn't delete your build variety options
iron will costing nothing is a huge improvement to their tree
infiltrate doesn't feel too bad, but I'd be surprised to see it in havoc regularly
hello guys
holy crap MMF + Exec stance makes you so dang tanky, I finished a Havoc 33 just now and took 0 dmg
I'd be surprised to see stealth in havoc at all regardless of how good it is
also rip the devil's claw the dueling swords now just do everything better
Braced is good with exec stance on auric and below
Just because of how easy it is to fuck up and get someone killed by aggro dumping on them
is serrated any good?
any builds
Only with knife really
any links..;
vigilant auto gun seems to slap ass
@galeophobia how good is onslaught, skirmisher, and the ws nodes?
Is it that bad?
im taking serrated just because the other 3 talents in that row dont seem that appealing to me lolol
No it's that good, or at least fun with exec stance
hihi!!
it's great vigi auto
hi
Even in havocs?
Take serrated because serrated power sword is funny
do we see vigilant autoguns being more useful? still seems like hyper nieche
Take serrated because it adds two extra stacks to chainsword bloodthirsty
yes, I used to run vigi auto on zealot a bunch before the patch too, it's got pretty good breakpoints for elite killing especially with surgical

and VERY ammo efficient
What about crushers?
And maulers
crushers? I either just FotF Thunderhammer them lmao, Maulers can be dealt with vigi auto ez
in the case with vet, power sword and stuff. Also now that krak is goated you can use it too
Helbore feels pretty nice now
I havent done full testing with vigi auto yet, just going with what I got from before the buffs and how good vet's tree is rn. A lot of ways you can go about it now
Ima be real. The CDR nerf does actually make shout a bit less appealing
Rachud?
i can 2 tap auric maulers unupgraded with useless perks
buffed krak REALLY rounds out a lot of loadouts
mainly cause of Right side tree
u have 3 kraks and u get both nade regen talents pretty easily now
rashad is much easier to take now that the good melee talents arent tucked in the bottom right
early trench fighter is probably one of the nicer change yeah?
that said the 15% melee damage node is a little less accessible now
someone agreed with me on the playtester team
they kind of still are?
except the 10% AS
bottom right has good talents
have you played high havoc its "oops all Crushers" the game
but you dont need to fuck off 5 points just to reach attackspeed and melee dmg ot hit breakpoints
yea?
wow they nerfed tac awareness hard
now that's a name I haven't seen in a while
I think they buffed krak range slightly, i've gotten a few more multikills on crusher packs I feel like
i been here u been gone
it's less crushers now tbf, and krak got 75% dmg buff with that one node I think. Either way they're always bunched up together, ez multi-kill most of the times
tru ๐
I'll make a build and send it here, you guys let me know what to change
also, shovel + uncanny + serrated blade OHHHHH boi 300dmg+ bleeding tick crusher
it's great
change class to ogryn
Bruh
or arbites
ogryn stinky
so now marksman focus is good?
arbites does everything vet does and doesn't die
Keystone good. Pathing bad.
they don't have shout though?
before this patch they were easily the weakest class in the game. I don't know how they are now but it was a bad life to be a vet
arb is broken along with ogryn
it pairs REALLY well with exec stance's toughness regen, makes you so tanky
did H33 taking basically 0 health dmg
Send build
keystone itself quite strong
but has the weakest pathing of the three
With doggo
shout got "nerfed" in that our cd talent got nerfed
id need to remake it cause they nerfed a few things in my build
and now with the new node you can be the Arizona ranger with the big iron on your hip (6 shooter)
also plasma bois lol
how would yall build your power falchion?
tac aware you mean?
yes tac awareness got nerfed
damnn heheh im trying to fix my build cant find a better pathing :<
the 15% clip size thing?
shout didnt i think
yup triple barrel shotguns and six shooters are now a thing
Perks its still a toss up honestly but so far
Cranial + Wrath
Flak + Maniac
amazink
Why are people not sending any builds
flak + maniac only affects non-empowered break points right? id personally do carapace and unyeilding

I played exec stance with inf lasgun and MMF in H33, it was actually so goated lmao
just go on games latern for them
Vigi autogun shreds maulers like very few other guns in this game do

I haven't checked the patch notes but iirc it had an absurdly high flak ADM
gameslantern is filled with bad builds ngl
I don't trust any of them
Like 1.40 or some insane shit like that
time to copy paste the worst builds possible!
shredder, survialist, shout, and weapons specialist. How original. Would you like fries with that sir?
hopefully we get sth similar for inf autogun sometimes, some kind of crit blessing or buff would be dope
wat did I do to u
google any vet build ever and its those nodes I'm just poking fun
I don't like shout, gimme marksman
This is my go to build. 30 flex points
uh
im gregnant for 30 flex points
probably doesn't need to be buffed
I get 31 flex points on my go to build but itโs close enough to yours
What build you all using for recon lasgun?
that screenshot is without onslaught btw it only has chink in the armour

I mean, I have other ones
idk what ur complaining abt
I'm stealing that one
Send a marksman focus one too pls
shredder, survialist, shout and marksman's focus probably. could also go for executioners stance aswell
with onslaught the Vraks IAG hsa the highest DPS of any gun in the game into every single health type EXCEPT for Unyielding
Because the Bolter is still higher damage into unyielding
wat weapons
Vraks IAG is number 1 for everything else though
Gun is absurd
Until like 15 meters where damage falloff kicks you in the shins, but still
yay
we have a consensus on what the best sword roll is yet?
recon las he says above
Which sword
no morbing
is it really a problem if i dont have bring it down on recon/knife
ok but what melee
not anymore really
new sord funnt
you can get a higher damage boost by dodge sliding every once in awhile to keep up Skirmisher stacks
what weapons??
i see
Seeing the average build recommendations in this channel:
will try
If you have skirmisher and exploit weakness, you really don't need bring it down
