If you're grey you can't post pics
well that is a hinderance
For infantry las? Ideally mobility is 60 and the rest is 80
Helbore
Stability 60
Usable
Usable as in usable good or usable as in "meh its barely usable"
Usable good, barely off from perfect
I think you'll be fine
Oh I got thrown off by the hand cannon mention
Exactly
Dont get me wrong both weapons are certainly good but saying ds or knife is good against hordes is just bullshit imo.
Whats the best Dump stat for Helbore?
Stability
Thanks
whats the dumpstat for the dueling blade?
Push attack cleave profile is 6.5, with flesh tear its apply aoe 8 stack bleed. Its not the best but quite ok into horde.
that basically bromentum for bruiser
it's mobility
if it's there, it's usually always mobility or defense
that's what the power sword does
which nodes?
btw are you considered blocking when you activate the power sword now
was he using stealth
yeah
wtf is this damage
there is not really any way to build a melee vet from what i've seen
Vet damage is a bit silly now
Bottom right has a ton of stuff that benefits melee
Its standard because its really fucking strong
Vet melee was strong even before buff, it just that if you want to take smoke and survivalist before its so many tax nodes.
Hoo boy. I hadn't played in a while, but saw there was an update, and I was really happy to see a buff for the Vigilant Autoguns in the patch notes, because hey, the clicking on heads thing was what the Veteran class originally promised.
But after jumping into game to try it out, I very quickly ran into the stealth nerf that Fatshark slipped in at the same time - the introduction of a ranged enemy type with a carapace armoured weakspot.
They used to literally be called headhunters in the beginning
right, i think i remember that
i think i also remember them always sucking
even at release
Yes
But now they got buffed
Just shoot the body
Even with the nerfs
Vigilant CRIT should still hit hard against flak bodies
you should have plenty of ammo outside of havoc
So yeah I don't know what stealth nerf you're talking about
I'm very used to 2 shotting maulers body

An enemy with even less HP?
Should be easy work
they have no cleave right?
Better to shoot those guys in body most of the time
Except then that doesn't proc any of the stuff you need a headshot to proc.
no that's right
Don't need to

1.5
Yea it is what it is
In no world is duelling sword chad
you jelly of its perfect form
Not perfect either

Can't even clear hordes at a reasonable time
On my horde game

Kinda do when an entire squad of them turns up and you want to be keeping Ghost up to not have them melting your face off.
ghost?
You can just dodge
Blessing
twink sword
man, never heard of it
Weakspot hits automatically dodges ranged
femboy blade
the average dueling sword user
which may as well be true because tanner is the dueling sword spokesperson
Plasma gunner 1900 HP
Mauler 3700 HP
Yeah
Vigi 7 their bodies
Easy peasy
Also damn
That's a huge mauler buff
what's the best mark
also love that he keeps getting recommended to me on yt even tho i asked them not to
Oh, it's extremely funny when the forty gunner squad turns up.
I like mk9 as well tbh
Even tho it reloads a lot
iLas? Hmm maybe
Vigis? Not really
Laspistol? Yeah you better be careful what you call inferior
You're going to summon the horde
Unless you're talking about mk10
There's like
1 mk10 player
Ilas
I think they made all vig auto have the same zoom
@tall torrent I wanted to ask
Any secretly OP weapons this patch? 🤔
What’s secret
Idk
I'll probably check any mention of that in 10 minutes
No cap removal afaik
No mention
They also didn’t mention cleave change to vig7
Still shit
Still a budget self-defense melee
More cleave?
Less?
More

Unfortunately IAG5 mogs everything on psyker
Any words of wisdom for a new player?
Keep your heads down and don't mention the one who saved the Ogryn...
Don't worry about it
dont spam your gun into the horde no matter how appealling their heads may seem......
kill them all
no one ever said 'i need less dakka dakka dakka'
uhh, don't forget to push/shove
nah what am i saying run bolter and magdump the crowd
wheres knife gremlin
you're going to HATE the new plasma gunner c:
Honestly the coolest thing about the Psyker rework is Just a Dream
It's like Sienna Unchained but better
And you can make it even better with damage reduction nodes
It's like you're playing Path of Exile with damage conversion mods
Well
I never took damage as a psyker
So I see it as nothing 
(it's pretty fucking good)
darktide when the tide is actually dark
Wife kinda skull dragged me through the plasma guy event on auric
Psyker can tank hits better than Vet now
no joke
I can eat a plasma shot in havoc and it'll only do like 30% of my hp as psyker
Being introduced to DT by wife is crazy
still hurts like hell of course
But i did unlock the hellbore lasgun
But it saved me last run
wait how did you unlock auric before unlocking helbore 😭
She likes the funny ogryn
you can queue for higher missions if your team can queue for them
Yeah ogryn good
I didnt, she was squad leader
thats a thing?????
you can technically have a lvl 1 in Maelstrom
which would be an "experience" to say the least
The experience was hell
The greatest piece of advice that I genuinely can give you
Is that your dodges refresh if you stop dodging for 0.85 seconds
Boom, there
You learned dodge management
You are now havoc 40 ready
You're welcome 
Does it pause the refresh if youre sprinting?
it's pretty sad how few players know how to dodge
I had an Arbites fully die in my last game lmao
as long as you dont hit dodge
Blue bar (toughness)
U want to keep that at max as much as possible which involves killing most things fast most of the time
Dodge to avoid attacks
Dodge/slide to avoid ranged attacks
Push often vs horde to make space
Aim for head with melee and ranged attacks if you can (except for 2 enemies)
Overhead/stab attacks are better on single targets, sweeping attacks are better on hordes
always kidnap the nearest pox walker to an airlock
Dodges do not give iframes vs melee
Your wife dragged your underlevelled ass into an auric outgunned?
She sounds based, is she single
Does it for range?
no but sliding does
Yes. I had shovel, shovel didnt do much
That's uh
An accurate description of current shovel on the meta

But don't worry about meta
That's a thing for like
A thousand hours in
more like lvl 15 when you get a power sword
That’s a thing like
10hrs in
i love the ppl in here like SHOVEL ACTUALLY SECRET META OP WEAPON!!?!?!?!?!?!!
Shovel is fine as long as you bring a heavy hitter gun or, like, kraks
which ironically will suck ass until you get the mastery up
Then at 2 thousands hours you kinda just say fuck meta
I hope u love the power sword as much as ur wife
shovel is FUN and that's all that matters
🛌
What does power sword do?
everything except move fast
it's all you need
activate power mode every 2-3 swings and it is good
if it drops the input ur done for
gg
1 swing c: because no mastery yet
I leveled it when it used to have 3 charged attacks per special
now it's 1 charged attack
I wonder how many people the power sword filtered because of that
looks at reddit
A lot
that many
Unironically the answer is everything but being agile
Basically
Everybody that says relic blade is better than power sword got filtered
Because u have to gaslight urself to believe that
It filtered redditors cause they dont like the 1 powered swing, I don't like it because it feels weird to me. We are not the same
yeah my mouse side button cries whenever i bust out the psword
ironic that the literal greatsword is like 3x worse than the 1-handed psword for single target
PS just fucking nukes everything
Pord
Not 3x worse
1h psword just needs a rework but that weapon is radioactive
It’s like 13% worse rn
fs cant touch it without their office being firebombed and darktide reaching "overwhelmingly negative" on steam
On single target
ah ok
For the 3rd time
😭
I haven't tried the new zealot changes :c
to be fair, everytime they touch psword. It's a fucking huge nerf
You will not nerf the PSword or else....... even though it should absolutely deserve it with how fucking insane it is right now lmao
Ps power to effort ratio is not great compared to other top melee weapon. That's the main down side of it.
just like plas gun fr fr
2 taps post change crushers
it used to have Infinite cleave and 3 charged attacks with 7 if you got Power Cycler
It takes 3
What if we got there ANYWAY
fym its literally just WOOONG SCHWING SCHWING SCHWING WOOONG SCHWING SCHWING SCHWING
Barely off from 2
Unfaltering propaganda
oh wow that's a lot better than when I last saw it
plasma gunner complaining, i take it?
That and the crashes
So power sword when I unlock it
And is keeping the infantry autogun the move?
and probably the crashes
As it turns out getting +80% damage makes a decent difference
oh yeah.
the crashes that happen like every 3 matches lol
it's literally 69% it'll go up in a few days
iag suck ass bro switch off of it fr
havent crashed once, works on my machine 
one day fatshark will learn to actually do QA polish on their builds
but not this day
Admittedly the complaining about the BS the Plasma Gunners can pull is deserved
The QoL is immaculate
oh shit lol and I thought the +50% weakspot on dodge node was insane
Borovian spam light have same boss dps as ps6 
Is the hellbore better?
Two +10% melee damage nodes
Sustained assault +20% melee damage
Riposte +20% melee damage
IJ keystone +20% damage
It'd assume they're mainly joking IAG is good.
Helbore is also good but an acquired taste
until you can get Shocktrooper node, Helbore is ass
Nah it doesn’t
It’s behind
oh yeah that'll do it :p
Still its so fucking weird how PF needs Rending Strikes to juice out some really good damage
Even before vet buff it was behind
Its like 2 or 3 seconds different in psykhanium on plague ogryn.
what changes did vet get with new update
its peam fr
Many
New talent tree nbd
Execution Stance is funny now
Helbore is peak
borovian pickaxe? lol i never tried that before
i hope they fix vermin tide 2 pickaxe.....
Bruv
It gets the same treatment
i used to use borovian before they made the karsolas heavies better
Pre-patch
Power sword ~18s
Branx ~19s
Borovian ~21s
Post patch
Power sword ~14s
Ogryn’s damage got nerfed so maybe 1s slower than before
remember that Kruouk stubber whatever it's called
not Vigil
Krourk Twin Linked stubbers
which attacks do you use for the branx numbers? heavy or lights?
Every exe stance build I slurp up ammo
Still can't hit a broadside of a planet, good gun 
Light + special is highest sustained single target dps for Branx
With torment too
consume more ammo
do not be sorry
Thrust + crunch is better alpha damage for breakpoints
Ya
thx
you're the veteran you deserve all the ammo because you're john ranged weapon
But worse for sustain vs big health pool
john gun
The only think i dont like about pick axe is the push is slower than small weapon.
yo wheres john darktide when you need him
especially make sure to take big ammo packs when you only need a little bit of ammo
Played a game with @faint beacon last night where I was at like 4 bullets for my gun for a solid 3 minutes in the game
And I see scoreboard
Some random arb with ext shotgun took 6-1-1 ammo and did 1/3 my damage
Only 3?
Rookie numbers

I was running Vigil + PF
oh that was me sry
let me be the first to greet you in exec stance main territory
oops tee hee
Wife is saying if I do like the lasguns I should swap to the recon when I unlock it
Fact or cap?
fact
fact
didnt give him enough ammo smh
It’s a very easy gun to pick up and do decently well with
fact
faucet
recon goes brrrrt
It’s alr
I find ammo to be a more limiting factor than CD kinda
Fact, either that or Helbore
depends on how you prefer your Lasers
Eh. I like the things I shoot to die after
That's my only preference
yeah but fast rate of fire or slow rate of fire
Recon is hosing it down till it dies
Helbore is blow its brains out with one well placed shot
it is, people taking ammo when theyre so full as to waste the pickup is like my 1 berserk button
Watching the Arby take the ammo whilst at 70/80 ammo
I have minimum 2 mags remaining in my Vigilant
you must be mistaken, thats a clip from DRG
big nitra vein
thx

Sending it to fatshark as we speak. Expect a buff soon buddy
So far all the laguns ive seen are semiautomatic
recon is full auto
And helbore has a charged shot mechanic
Is it retain damage like the other lasguns or does it take a dip to account for it being full auto?
Takes a dip per shot
what’s different
That's why you brrrr
Lower damage per shot but faster fire rate
Majority of the damage with recon will come from the burn on crit blessing
So itll need crit traits
Nah
Majority of damage is the gun itself
Burn is usually at most 1/3 of its damage
Crit build is good however and u should go for them because shock trooper saves u a lot of ammo
Whats shock trooper?
Las-weapons’ critical ranged attacks don’t consume ammo
Oh nice
what’s different from old exe
So power sword (when I unlock it) and recon lasgun (when I unlock it) then look for shock trooper in the mastery
i haven’t played vet in a min
10% toughness replenished per second
While its active
Shock Trooper is talent on the bottom left of vet's talent tree
Not a mastery thing
best thing they added this update
Ah, im a while away then
10% of max toughness per second
Ogryn highlight now boosts duration to 8s
oh boring i wish they upped the damage
Was Plasma gun Flak/Unarmored or Maniac/Unarmored?
ok that’s peak
it doesn't need more damage lol
Unarmored + flak rn
Well, 14 bs that can kill someone in 3 shots even on lower diffs. What da thunk.
they always die at first drop
lmao
hate losing it bc of ogryns taking years to kill
Thank
I did it (against my will)
yeah I fucking hate doing the event, im alr done on the kill things for it and people suck dog ass
so I just leave
fuck that
I’m doing the event to farm plasma gunner kill penance + lights out mission penance
Me after dragging gale through 4 lights out in a row
You carrying him?
but doing it solo is akin to CBT
Do not use power sword with no mastery
Gale carries?
understandable
So, carrying.
I need to get used to the shenanigans my teammates pull so I can use exe/hellbore more
cuz damn fuck me dead that shit is stronk
plasma exe is really funny for the event yeah
BOLTER MENTIONED RAAAAAAHHHHH
shooting them through walls 
Plasma exe is even more ammo hungry than boltgun lol
Helbore slaps for anything that isn't a rotten armor crusher

lol tried it last night, plasma is damn strong
but things die so its okay
Also @faint beacon I think armorbane stocks super high for helbore rn
plasma exe MMF is comical
Worth it for mk5 and 3a
would rather use helbore or bolter
for 5 just take weight of fire 
Meanwhile Helbore is just infinite ammo
hellbore should be void from rotten armours ranged DR
Armorbane 2 taps maulers

why use 2 when you can use 6 shots
Pretty sure it isn't, but I'd need to test
(full auto helbore is very funny)
it isn't
He wants it to be
but it should be
It definitely takes more than two headshots on a H30+ rotten armor crusher
Oh lol
hellbore stonks
Nah
Yeah I agree
It can?
smokesssssssss
they see me with kraks and do the whole "can you use smokes" like my god
LET ME BE
No
There’s a mod that makes it auto charge
with mods, yeah 
with helbore passive charge mod
- skitarius
you can make it full auto
but that sucks all of the fun out of it
Outside that, are there any mods yall recomend?
numeric UI
just wait
Creature spawner
Whats that do?
Massive rending
I don’t use basically anything else tbh
spidey sense, scoreboard, psych ward, danger zone, markers AIO
nah it's very funny
Scoreboard if you care about that sort of thing
whichever one lets you disable visual effects
"even more" as if the game tells you anything
Oh?
Are there any ranged weapons I should avoid using on the Vet?
True Level if you want to filter out players from your havoc lobbies
Uhh
Boltpistol VI
Yea that’s about it
Whats havoc?
@tall torrent Just curious, Flak Maniac isn't the go to now, right?
Highest difficulty mode with a silly ranked system
braced auto guns
CBT

scoreboard so you can flame someone when they do better than you 
tbh I was mostly joking, only jerks filter other players out based on true level
So like auric or worse?
Harder
inspect on social is nice and inspect in party finder if you eventually get into havocs
Your balls will be caressed by 500 ragers
can be good to see what builds people have if you want to try them out
Would be great without its silly derank system
first by party finder, then 500 ragers, and then error 2014
is the Plasma Gun any good or the shotgun at least?
You mean 1000 maulers and 500 crushers all farting.
Plasma top tier
Shotgun depends on which
plasma bad
the combat one

dont let them gaslight you
I didn't even know there were variants tbh
@tall torrent Path, you saw what I asked?
game calls them marks
No
What did u ask
Id take the thousand maulers over the 500 plasma dudes
Is Flak Maniac still the go to or nope.
On what weapon
oh ok
Oh, was like... You can't go wrong with them way.
Are the combat shotguns good or do they shoot glorified confetti past 5 meters?
I tried using the Plasma Gun and I honestly don't like how it operates, specifically the charge up.
Agri is a slug for its special fire, zarona is duckbill and Accatran is Fire I think? I have never touched anything other than agri
lol
Blessings and perks for chainsword?
they're good
they're good now
Not sure how that matters when everything can be easily optimized
They’re more like irl shotguns than video game shotguns
If u want a video game shotgun, double barrelled
Yeah, but it's more. They are generally useful still, right? If you have no idea what to use.
Again I’m not sure how this matters when everything can be easily optimized
A lot of melee weapons go unyielding carapace now
Ranged weapons are either dps or breakpoint
If breakpoint it could take unarmored / maniac / unyielding / flak
It depends on the specific weapon
Unyielding carapace
Does the combo Rending strikes + Onslaught + Shattering impact actually stacks? Can I actually achieve 90 Rending or Onslaught and Shattering Impact count towards the maximum stacks of 16?
Shattering impact is of the same brittleness effect as onslaught
This specific brittleness effect stacks up to 16 times and don’t go above
So your total ADM boost would be 50% at best
Ah, gotcha, thank you
Big bummer
would be pretty dumb if both shrimpact and onslaught stacked
A man can dream
Back. Hellbore with volley fire is pretty neat
Watch Power Falchion Propaganda by Galeophobia and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal. Tags: #warhammer40000darktide
Still think its fucking crazy you can juice this thing to be just shy a 3 tap
can def get it faster based on path's clip
i think path's clip had it as a 3 tap?
this is mine with mk1
haven't decided which one i like more yet
We're both using MkIIb
but i do like the mk1 single target
However I bet Leakage might hit that Breakpoint
Plasma gunner can be 3 tapped by Vigi7 CRIT body shot at less than 12.5m
2 if you run FT
So yeah
Ain't shit

11 off of a 3 tap
To get 3-4 tap u need exploit weakness up
Whats that?
Veteran talent
this is why mk1 is better 🙂↕️
I see
It’s alr
i like living on the edge when fighting crusher blobs (0 stam)
I think falchions can use some minor buffs to the weapon itself and a revamp to its blessings
being a mk2b truther finally rewarded me
It’s a Rashad sidegrade
Bounty hunter open wounds
Which is really good
But admittedly it is unusual that powered doesnt really do much without rending strikes
The unpowered attacks are still ass unfortunately
No cleave
No stagger
No ass no cock no balls
i've been mostly using it as a sidearm on hybrid builds
when the juice runs out, switch to melee
It’s a 1 point cheaper but worse Rashad
Quick question, is this YouTuber's build good? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3U32dUIeEw A vet in my team did well, looking to really get into vet class now that it's been updated

The guy was a blessing for my melee tank ogryn
Why 69 Charge Rate 71% Thermal Resistance Plasma gun?
support
Looks inside
Shout, smoke and focus target
What about 70/70?
Cuz 69 charge allows for 8 shots
Gives one more shot at max without venting is why
68 being the minimum
that’s the only reason
shoots 8 times, fires as fast as optimisation allows
Man, that's incredible RNG to get
gl with it
Usable
obligatory @tired egret
Best I got is 70/70
That, alongside flamer 76 burn 64 dmg zdd
Is there an updated guide or some good builds you guys recommend? Never really got the hang of veteran before the update.
Good enough
am up to try any weapon
Flamer is not worth optimizing for tbh
The difference between 60 and 64 damage is negligible
I know
The difference between 60 and 71 charge rate isn’t
instinct still makes me wanna grind for
Same reason for psyker warp resistance not worth giga dumping
It’s just not relevant enough
lol
and man
unpowered is straight up ass
might as well just use your gun at that point jfc
i wonder if unpowered psword or unpowered falch is worse
It’s a 1 point cheaper but worse Rashad
and people say is dog water
It’s meh
Idk but i feel unpowered falchion feels bit better than Psword
it can do that at high heat to 1 bro
I vibe with falchion with enough practise
what would you drop for it 🤔
attack speed
i mean that's a juiced as fuck test lol
I like bad things too 
TFD
When looking at percentages on a weapon, is there anything I need to look out for?
heresy
most weapons have a dump stat
how do you mean?
but they are rare
It rly doesn’t affect the atk speed that much on this weapon
Stability

ammo or stability
depends on if you want to dump ammo
stability is just free tho
You can use the pinned guides to look through each weapon and their dump stat
Oh? Didnt know that was a thing
All class channels have it
it'll also help with the acronyms
Though with recent rework of other three classes, i think is gonna need some changes 
yeah ig not strictly necessary
i'm taking it on the way to serrated blade anyway
There is only 1 weapon in the game that dumps damage stat
That weapon is the Zealot's Flamer
Why's that?
Because 4 damage or so changes nothing unless maybe uprising.
The Inferno staff would dump it as well if it didn't have warp resistance.
But funni even on knoife.
Yeah I like it even if it just means draining my energy faster on power falchion lol
Cant wait to get back from work and hop on dt
The new vet is so nice comoared to the old vet
Hersey unlocked 
Thankfully they actually kill chaffe hordes, it’s issues spring up when it’s a mixed horde
I still very much like it as a melee but it’s not PS level
Also give path like 3 months
Me and Ainz are slacking but acknowledged yesterday we should work on the penance section
darksouls sword hitting a wall gif
I’m prob just gonna use kuli’s guide for enemies
Not sure if I wanna keep working on that section
The scab rager being said wall
The penance section?
Enemy breakdown
Where did Kuli have his enemy breakdown?
Mr e isn’t good at build crafting ask regulars in the chats for builds
Jesus
Gotta love the work Kuli puts in
Really the only source anyone can agree on in this community
I'm always confused when I saw YouTuber builds skipping on Iron Will, I'm like how are you alive
One of vets best talents
they aint
Makes you able to handle shooter spam which is 90% of why youll take tick damage
Exactly
I always miss it when I play any other class and gunners actually hurt lmao
I think i skipped it on my current build. Might add it back in.
Also I'm following Bath's bolter builds which are great but no One Motion so I guess I have to get used to hitting Executioner Stance to pull the bolt gun out or give up Longshot lol
You should, it's so easy to get now lol
I kinda switch between superiority complex and iron will depending on my weapon setup.
Ill take both for certain weapons though. Mainly ones that don't need any benefit from lock and load or always prepared.
Iron Will is like 90% of your damage reduction
why would anyone ever not take it
not even remotely comparable with anything else
Its dependent. Like I said. Also avoidance is the game for me. Dont get hit. Lol
Its beautiful.....
Worst part of Bolgun is how nightmareishly slow it is to pull out. Lol
I guess on this shout build I could move the specialist reload speed one over to one motion instead for comfort
so you don't take any defensive talents at all?
Yea works
like if you're gonna sacrifice some defense, Iron Will is the last thing to throw away
It depends. If I am doing auric I'll take some and loose some damage. But on damnation or heresy I can pretty much not get hit so I take more damage.
Yeah I feel like with Kraks I keep "saving" them
with frags I just got apeshit USE EM OR LOOSE EM
more things to use frags on as well
though it is funny to throw them at random things
The grenade regen being guarantee was a nice change.
Yes lmao
I like to take tinker with krak, but I end up saving them as well. Frag is nice all around.
Horde. Yeet!
Hahah.
🤣
These event missions and snipers are outta hand though. What's with the 10 snipers in one room moments?
FT and not MMF? And you’re not doing crit bolter? 🤔
I figured out a way to build boltgun where it can 3 tap crushers without crit
And without shattering impact lol
So I’m running puncture + PF rn
Dude the spawns are insane, last night I was playing with a friend and I literally could not move from teh amount of ragers and snipers and what have you lmao
Need rending strikes to make that happen?
Why exploit weakness and skirmisher?
free damage
free damage
Yea but both Rashad and falchion benefit from it vs carapace
So it’s not that big of a deal

It’s like giving both ur weapons an extra carapace damage perk
Like a trapper's head... Totally not accidentally.
Been awhile since I've seen skirmishes stack.
Thanks I’ll try with normal bolter
it procs from sliding now
I feel like i can proc agile easier. Ill have to run and see.
I really want to make power falchion work better l lol
Yup, saw the build work out for a random teammate so thought it could be an exception. Got any builds to recommend? I'm up for trying any weapons.
youtuber builds will work just fine for auric and probably even high havoc (if that's advertised). may not be optimal, but might as well try
One of my favorites
If you like grenades
You’ll like this
I do, haven't used the shotgun so happy to find out if it's good
Takes advantage of the massive damage you can stack from infil and skirmisher
To delete mixed hordes with bleed
Yeah last night in a blackout mission I turned a corner and just had like 10 snipers aiming at me. Blasting into the darkness mid horde and dodging snipers as insane.
Hotfix to make Infil 30s CD fatshark pls
sounds great, which enemies do you target with the grenades?
Deserved for being the most annoying elite
Frag so anything really. It can stagger basically everything anyways. So good use whenever r
Gonna test it after dinner, thanks!
You get regen grenade every 60s so don't be stingy. Lol
Anything short of crushers. Just stealth and drop two grenades.
Whenever a big ass horde shows up
Esp one with a lot of elites
Death to all plasmagunners
Otherwise make good use of shotgun and Rashad
Every three melee kills switch to shotgun and fire into the horde
Free crit and infinite cleave
Smoke Grenade stonks
WS with that ammo reload is amazing on shotguns and revolver.
Also has the Devil Claw sword always been this good? I feel like my journey to master all the other weapons and coming back to the devil claw it seems way stronger. Parry literally everything it seems.
They’ve buffed it repeatedly but still sucks
I mean anything will work on vet with right side talents
But Dclaw is still not a good weapon
Yeah it falls short on certain parts on raw damage, but that parry window sometimes almost makes me feel immune. Parry like 5 hits at once.
Yeah one sec
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d51275b-f9c4-4494-9b88-bfafbbbf4981/terrible-vet-build @steel surge try this
anyone got a build for recon for the memes
@steel surge if you want krak take off grenadier for nade tinker
or take both

Damnation unlocked
buffed it so many times only to give its niche to an already overperforming weapon

Recon lasgun? I have one i just finished
True…
Is there a cap to rending? what happen if you go above 100%?
It gets converted into damage
At 25 percent
So effectively drops off significantly once your rending goes above 100 percent
ok cause I'm making a infiltration vet with smoke grenade cause f*&% those new plasma gunner
honestly that's the most hilarious part for me, used to get the DClaw on my "lasgun only" build but now i have to ask myself "why take Dclaw when DS is not only better, BUSTED even, but does its only niche BETTER?"
Smoke nades best nades
Tbh dont run infil run exe with it and shoot them through the smoke
Preventing Plasma gunner from killing the squad will be fun
Smoke is pretty useful
Dudes just seem to stop shooting and run through it
I saw some dude in arb chat talking about their exe bolter set up one tapping them
Correct
Smoke sets your engagement range
Pit fight in the smokers aley
Which is harder to use than "i blow thing up now" but infinitely more valuable
no plasma gunns allowed
Then again I only started playing last night so I may be wrong
Ive been playing this game since launch
A little before then actually
Smoke is incredible
smokes are situational, but the situation that they help is very good and not so rare
Well. Barring that one hiatus.
And that situation becomes more lethal and less rare the higher in diff you go
before krak grenade was more valuable cause mauler was the big threat in hordes now that the highest threat as move to plasma gunners smoke grenade seems better
Any words of wisdom for a new guy? Already have: learn to dodge and slide, aim for the head, and keep your toughness maxed out if you can
kraks are good now that they can kill stuff like new buffed crushers all the way to Havoc 40 (trinkerer) and other enemies like bulwarks and bosses
Learn how to use your melee, melee is in intrinsic part of the Tide games and not becoming intimately familiar with it is something you will feel as you climb in diffs.
Lotta new players i see treat the game like shooter cause low diffs let you
And learn sound queues
Learn the dodge, melee, block or parry dance and you will survive.
To easy to juat swing for the fences in this and not slow down for a moment snd block that one attack that gets through.
stay with team and make sure to have someone 1. being in charge of slowing down the hordes (crowd control) but not be the only one (have others with lesser like frag nades) 2. give cover fire to platers that are behind, the reason ppl dont move as fast is becasue bein harrased by dogs and other jerks, shoot them and they will aslo move faster
My main is Zealot so I got the melee combat on point, Block, push, side (back) dodge, sprint slide to dodge bullets. All important to be weaved inside your melee combat
until you meet the Plasma gunners, do we know if they have unique voice lines?
Also, yeah, shooting the dog off someone or taking someone out of the net from a trapper is always prio number 1
Flat out bar none
As they are elites and not specialist they do not have voice line
And i guess my niche advice is that revive speed is genuinely one of the best things you can put on a curio
protecting team > stay near eachother > objetive
Infiltration is nice to do objective while stealth or to go revive a downed teamate
Who knows, haven't heard them
Plasma gunners have unique lines but the audio balance on them is real low
neither me or my teammate who got blasted by an execution squad
So you'll hear them but you won't hear them
Na elite enemies doesn't have sound queus, only specialist enemies like trappers, dogs, snipers have tells that let you know
Elite enemies that are THIS dangerous should have some telegraph
No, you can hear elites when the sound engine isn't crapping out.
reason why ninja crushers are my bane
Melee i may have down? For the assault chainsword. Pretty simple to rev when you see a big dude or someone with armor
Sounds queues aren't only spawn in sounds. It's also alert sounds, shooting sounds, and targeting you sounds
And voicelines
Oh you sweet summer child, you'll see.
I've only heard plasma when it hit me
That's not ominus at all
I guess they have the plasma rev up but the rev is very quickly
i only know they have spawned because i got shot by those jerks, they have good range for being Shotgunners+
Too quick even tbh. Faster than captains which is dumb.
yeah, why they shoot so fast when it feels that they are shooting charged shots?
What would be the sensible adjustment for them? Lower rate of fire ?
I'm not gonna tell you not to use chainsword cause I find it very fun but I will tell you that using it in such a manner will sometimes lead to you ending up in less than ideal situations. But learning is half the fun.
Change them to specials or make them more noticable/have working sound queues/lower fire rate/nerf debuff
And you'll eventually develop more taste for melees
Personally my favorite on vet is knife
i feel that and better audio alerts, its quite easy for a crew of 4 to down a player because their rate of fire is quite high
I feel like this game has been having more audio bugs as its lifespan goes on
Sound engine just can't deal with the increased spawn rates.
It's why you get less sound issues in lower diff.
That explains a lot tbh
Kinda developing
Like I love the shovel but it usually feels like im fighting for my life instead of actually clearing up the horde
Because amount of stuff is less.
Shovel is one of my favorites too, its very safe
Uprising usually has no issues, malice might get. Heresy and up, I have had it crash and burn so no sounds for like a sec or 2 often.
Higher the diff, the more likely.
The background music still plays though.
It’s much better if you take the bottom right melee talents
Thanks, more variety to test
have the inf las guns been buffed
cus my gf says they have less recoil and im in game rn
They were not touched
Optimized Cooling
Less recoil probably because vet now has suppression immunity built into the class
Just a guess
she's playing psyker is the werid thing
Ah.
Then placebo
the slow firing one shes using
There was no las gun change
Gonna guess dump stat on combat axe and double barreled shotgun is mobility?
Yeah
If you’re trying the build I linked it should have all the info needed
Doing the stealth bomber atm
Ah, cant send pics
Bottom right i have reciprocity, desparado, and onslaught
Reload speed is an honorable mention if taking always prepared on the weapon special keystone
But mobility is always safe to dump
If I go Ex-Stance and Marksman's Focus, do you think Laspistol MK2 edges out Recon Mk6c?
With the finesse gains?
Don’t take onslaught, just follow the build
Prob
Recon has never has the best dps
Just safe and very easy to use
The build?
Follow up, does laspistol still have an innate crit bonus, or did I imagine that?
it dooooo
like 15% i think
Thank you!
It should have an inmate 15% crit chance I’m pretty sure
the info in the pinned hammer of the emperor should he the inherent crit chance listed there
its outdated but
man, the penetration on the alt bolter mark is so bad
probably still accurate
Yeah, just lazy and my phone hates word docs.
How do people use their falchion
I don’t remember crit chance on any weapons ever being changed
Ive been using in my ranged builds and reg psword for melee builds
like combos or builds
Builds
i use it in place of any versatile weapon like rashad or shovel even though its either worse or on par with em :P
its just fun ig
It's alright given it knocks everything around Impact on its ass
i dont think regular powersword is actually good in pure melee builds
I build mine with the finesse on 1 shot talent and the reduced build up on headshot, than just use it like a power sword on cooldown instead of having to reactivate it
you hardly hit breakpoints and it straight up doesnt need melee buffs
if you're a sweat use rashad in pure melee setups tbh
if you play for fun then honestly the new falchion is prob good for pure melee
I havent tried Rashad for H40
New bolter's become my fav vet weapon honestly
I typically stuck with ps6 for h40
I do like the knockback and auto vent on reaching full heat on relic blade but I like building for damage with the vet one I use
rllyyyyy how do you build it? i havent given it a honest try yet
I've been using the buffed vigilant single shot lately
its absurd
yeah, but when I shoot into a conga line of elites it doesn't have the same kind of oomph
the aoe stagger is nice
Which hellbore is the better one?
I've learned that it is just not meant to be boss killing bullet hose like regular is
mostly depends on what you want but recently people have been shilling mk V with weight of fire
The AOE is nice but I just feel like I’d rather a proper anti elite weapon than a more supportive one
don't get me wrong, the new bolter still does really good damage
what does it do then
Hmm. OK. Trying to master it now. Using the MkIV, since its ADS damage was higher. Thank yuo!
people mostly use MKV like the inf lasguns but better
I never liked the big bolter and the bolt pistol is a fun mobile 1 tap deagle sorta gun so a version with less damage and ammo is less appealing to me
Oh! Ok. I use the Inf Lasgun all the time. Ill swap it and give it a shot.
i tried using it but it didnt feel enough to warrant a damage nerf
heyo
Giant AOE with a ton of stagger but a bit less ammo and damage, also no piercing through enemies
what's the best Lucius mark lasgun now?
scroll up like 10 messages (its subjective tho)
Run flak + maniac, use it as a marksman rifle for priority targets and if you get a big horde, pull it out and fire some shots to push the horde back
same as new bolter
inch resting
It mulches mixed hordes really well.
Thanks!
I’d rather a shotgun for close range, but the stagger on it from any range is appealing, stagger that group of plasma gunners that are 20 feet away
