or activating the buff for melee

hearty panther
#

every ten seconds, yeah

faint beacon
#

Tbh

hearty panther
#

which is just the general gamepaly pace

faint beacon
#

MMF can drop really easily

hearty panther
#

after damnation

faint beacon
#

if you forget you can't upkeep it without killing something via ranged headshots

#

vs WS

mortal aspen
#

still better than just getting passive benefit

faint beacon
#

where its just play the game

#

get stacks

hearty panther
#

like i do have to actually think about landing a couple intentional headshots first

#

just to be sure

faint beacon
#

that im shooting a poxer in the head

#

but I need those MMF stacks

hearty panther
#

ill shoot a crowd but never just one

#

if i have to shoot a poxer to then get a gunner 1hk breakpoint

#

ill just put two shots on the gunner

#

same result, dont care

faint beacon
#

if I went from 10-0 cause of downtime

#

and then a horde shows up with no elites in play yet

hearty panther
#

yea

faint beacon
#

im going to shoot them in the head

hearty panther
#

thats when i hit the crowd

#

cause one shot will get you a couple 3 stacks p. easily

#

on most weps anyway

faint beacon
#

literally just shoot 3-4

#

and then Melee

hearty panther
#

yea

#

it jsut depends on the gun

#

3-4 shots of a bolter

#

a bit less forgiving than 3-4 shots from your vigi auto

faint beacon
#

Vigilants you might get some collat kills and just

hearty panther
#

plasma gun still lol

faint beacon
#

really only need to kill 1-2

hearty panther
#

one shot, max stacks, go ham

faint beacon
#

bet Combat Shotty is vile with it also

midnight wyvern
#

it feels fantastic with MMF yea

hearty panther
#

zarona

#

my bae

#

sprint around, land a melee crit, swap, special shot at head level

#

Houston we are go for launch

faint beacon
#

Agri CS probably can get some stupid BPs

hearty panther
#

but yea tunnel vision

#

very strong

#

60% replenishment at max is downright nonsensical

#

16% toughness per second from xstance alone

midnight wyvern
mortal aspen
#

and people will still say zealot has better toughness gen

midnight wyvern
#

so ill just solo run a havoc 40

#

ezpz

hearty panther
#

Much less situational

#

Second Wind still the best toughness node in the game probs, second only to Walk it Off if at all

faint beacon
#

Veteran has one thing thats arguably better which is passive toughness regen (Catch a Breath)

#

but Zealot has a lot more situationally good ones

hearty panther
#

Pair that with the newly improved IJ nodes and it's very easy to stay alive even when you aren't fighting but just running

faint beacon
#

Veteran's toughness regen comes from either Ability

#

OR

#

Killing things

faint beacon
#

buffed version is

#

SO LUDICROUSLY good

hearty panther
#

Also very good yeah

#

Basically what it used to be lol

#

On launch

faint beacon
#

Zealot basically has inverse CaB

#

with that and its just so fucking good

#

Admittedly CaB is also insanely good but if you get hit at all it goes down

hearty panther
#

Yeah Zealot still the only ones who can hold block and dodge and get all their toughness back. Arby still has to have the stamina available.

#

Or their dog I suppose.

faint beacon
#

stamina or simply stagger enemies

#

Veteran has it a bit harder either being not hit at all or Kill enemies before your team does

#

Psyker-

#

Ahem, moving on

hearty panther
#

Anyway so I run Born Leader without shame

midnight wyvern
#

I run it with all TDR generating nodes with exe stance and a plasma

#

spam generate all toughness so my team can still die

faint beacon
#

if we get Gale to go on about how busted Psyker is

#

we'll be here for a day solid

midnight wyvern
#

it would prob be better on shout so they regen into gold

#

lol

hearty panther
#

yea in havoc especially it can help guarantee your teammates get bumped into gold

#

unless they took a plasma shot

#

im which case lol big L dummy

faint beacon
#

Correction

#

Plasma gunner group

#

they're already instantly downed

balmy ermine
#

Just dodge

tame lodge
midnight wyvern
#

wonder what I should take off to run it

eternal venture
#

Ape is a big gamer

midnight wyvern
#

weapon swap speed

eternal venture
#

I usually run into him in super late night H40s

#

at like, 2 in the morning

faint beacon
#

ApeWithAButterknife

eternal venture
#

Forgot to respond to this earlier, but yeah

#

Exe is the worst for getting out of a corner since it, well, can't

#

VoC and Infil will at least let you scurry out of a corner and let your arb/ogryn deal with the 5 crushers you left behind hehe

faint beacon
#

seeing thats your get out of a jam button

eternal venture
#

It's really noticeable on maps like Silo Cluster and Chasm Logistratum, which force you into these nonstop tight corridors AKA death zones

eternal venture
#

I love smokes, but getting caught out without frags or kraks as Exe is painful

faint beacon
#

Smokes + Exe are insane

#

but like you have to be

eternal venture
#

You have to position really well

faint beacon
#

REALLY good at avoiding those bad situations

#

or run Taxe

eternal venture
#

Smokes + Exe is my favorite playstyle right now

faint beacon
#

cause thats mobile and can get you out of a bad situation

eternal venture
#

It's a lot easier on some maps than others

faint beacon
#

Stagger Melee thats good at horde

eternal venture
#

Like if we had the Hourglass maps in rotation right now, it'd feel even stronger

#

But this rotation has all of the crappy tight corridor maps

#

I hate chasm logistratum!!!

#

That little L-bend corridor after the hacking event is just brutal. There's a boss trigger in there, and hardly anywhere to backtrack to

hearty panther
#

everything after the mid event

eternal venture
#

If you get twins + a slug there, I hope you can at least murder the slug really quickly (AKA I hope you have an Evis/Hammer zealot)

#

Silo Cluster and Gloriana have the most brutal map starts, but get easier as you go on

faint beacon
#

WS Powersword

eternal venture
#

Logistratum gets harder after the mid event

warm schooner
#

Bolter krak exe mmf ws vet

faint beacon
#

shit nukes bosses

eternal venture
#

Ahh yesh PSword as well

hearty panther
#

counter argument
they also have nowhere to fall back to

faint beacon
#

Hence you better kill that thing quickly

#

or have a bubble psyker to stall the Slug for a minute longer

warm schooner
#

Tighter the space, more krak value

eternal venture
#

I had a H40 Gloriana run the other day with like 7 monsters and a captain in that starting area

faint beacon
#

(BON Cant puke in the bubble)

eternal venture
#

Somehow, we made it out alive

#

I love watching the puke stream swirl like a toilet bowl when you place a bubble on a slug

#

...Probably the most disgusting thing I'll type all week

#

And yeah Kraks don't have a target limit afaik

faint beacon
#

I've typed worse

eternal venture
#

clumping up a bunch of crushers into a corner and seeing them all pop is so satisfying

hearty panther
#

i fucken hate doming the slug

#

i get it, it works

#

really shouldnt be so good though

#

so lame

eternal venture
#

It's a very funny solution that works due to coding quirks

#

it's funny because even fire nade puddles will slip under a bubble

#

And flamer streams will pile up on the edges

#

But put a bubble on a slug? The barf stream just magically disappears

#

My guess is that it uses the same coding as a flamer, where the stream also just disappears the instant it touches the bubble zone. What's funny is that Trappers can still net you if they're right on top of you in a bubble, because the projectile technically spawns inside her before disappearing

hearty panther
#

its just all projectiles

eternal venture
#

yeah

#

I don't think I've ever seen what the projectile hitbox on the flamers looks like. I'm guessing it's just a box/sphere at the end of the stream

eternal venture
#

Yeah I love seeing Ogryns get netted inside a bubble because they're so fat

#

and then they go WHAT WAS THAT

fallen needle
#

Took the rest of the day, but auric unlockedchadgryn

tame lodge
#

Good enough

#

Get this Karker a havoc 40

hybrid plover
#

it makes me so happy

#

that veteran got the clearance for their asthma medication

tropic notch
#

@faint beacon due to crushers and bulwarks being aids I may take krak tbh

#

Shredder is so good tho

#

I hate how they all spawn together

midnight wyvern
#

😭

#

my teammates just DO NOT want to live

#

let me monstrous specialist in peace

native hamlet
#

plasma gun has high finesse right? since im using power sword with it, im thinking about using weapon specalist to buff my ps to better brawl against hordes and monsters while plasma should be getting a cool 33% crit chance for more inconsistant consistant crit damage

hearty panther
#

It has finesse.

#

Whether we consider it high finesse is somewhat debatable I suppose.

native hamlet
#

interesting

midnight wyvern
#

I can confirm from hours of research in the past 30 seconds that it does indeed do damage to the head when you shoot the head

hearty panther
#

More damage to the head!

native hamlet
#

i think ur onto something

midnight wyvern
native hamlet
#

i guess a better question would've been if plasma gun would benefit much from weapon specialist as it's mostly crit chance and then the qol perks below

midnight wyvern
#

it definitely benefits from the funny perks above it

native hamlet
midnight wyvern
#

WS reload thing is just nice for Plasma because its reload takes 42 years

native hamlet
native hamlet
midnight wyvern
#

are all

#

goofy ah talents

native hamlet
#

what if 50% damage for doing darktide combat 🤔

midnight wyvern
#

that is certainly a combination of words

native hamlet
hollow ibex
#

Take it if dumb

frank basin
#

i didn't know head is mauler like

midnight wyvern
#

carapace yea

faint beacon
# midnight wyvern

this right side combo is pretty much the Bread and Butter of every Vet build now

tame lodge
faint beacon
#

Well-

#

you're weird... and bumpy

hollow ibex
#

Tbf kinda hard to afford right side if you go MMF

#

Costs so much to reach the damn keystone

sharp epoch
agile mango
hollow ibex
#

Tbf you can afford both

midnight wyvern
#

I'd take right if I could afford it

#

but my build works for what its made for

hollow ibex
#

You just need to make… compromises

midnight wyvern
#

good nuff

hollow ibex
midnight wyvern
#

yeah MMF makes for some interesting builds

#

some shit chonks

agile mango
midnight wyvern
#

Marksmans focus

heavy rover
analog yacht
#

I'm still a touch dubious on mmf ngl

heavy rover
#

I was able to run it in havoc 40 if that's any encouragement

analog yacht
#

oh yeah it's 100% viable in h40

eternal venture
#

It's more than fine for high Havoc

#

Arguably 'better' for a few select weapons than WS (basically Helbore)

analog yacht
#

but I more mean is it meta

eternal venture
#

Uh

#

I suppose?

#

Since the meta is being able to deal with gigantic blobs of armored units with massive health pools

heavy rover
#

Eh, who cares if it's meta. If it works it works

eternal venture
#

and MMF enables some weapons to deal with that

analog yacht
#

between the pathing to it being mid af and the damage bonus still being kinda clunky

#

idk it is still a damage bonus though

#

which like WS doesn't get

eternal venture
#

More damage is always good

#

The pathing to get to it is a little subpar yeah, unless you run Helbore

heavy rover
#

Ah, I've always been running helbore since the buff

calm shard
#

.5 second stamina regen my beloved

tawny badger
#

did somebody say hellbore buff

midnight wyvern
#

yeah

#

they're giving it deadly accurate

little fox
#

If I wanna just braced auto gun and shovel can I still survive the late game? Assuming im not playing like a fool

hollow ibex
#

yes

#

aurics at least

#

high havocs will be hard lol

little fox
#

Well what's the most dakka I can go while still remaining in the realm of possibility

hollow ibex
#

recon las mk xii or vraks iag for dakka

little fox
#

Recon las does satisfy the dakka urge even if it takes 500 bullets to kill a crusher

hollow ibex
#

you should generally be meleeing crushers

#

or just krak them

little fox
#

I was making a joke sir

cunning haven
#

should i swap agile engagement -> +25 toughness and reciprocity -> close quarters killzone?

i use recon + powersword. no real breakpoints needed just tryna be ammo efficient. i feel like my current talents dont proc often enough

hollow ibex
little fox
#

Oh lmao, first day I was googling flak vs carapace, how they interacted with various munitions etc

#

But I'm autistic so fair

Veteran build for Warhammer 40k: Darktide, using the Achlys Mk VI Power Sword and Crucis Mk XI Double-Barrelled Shotgun. Created by fyrestone5775.

Recon doesn’t need it

cunning haven

my build is completely different. have focus target and shock trooper

#

and onslaught

hexed wave
#

Opinion: There should be a Steel legion specific Vet personality given the prevalence of the steel legion in the game (Morrow, Dukane) also goes without saying but add Armageddon as a selectable planet tied to the personality like Cadia

fair shale
#

Look I agree with you but man they'd have to do every regi atp

tepid otter
#

I think it'd be nice to have more personality archetypes than the usual gallows humor we have atm

#

Unless theres more idk about

fair shale
#

Idk

#

I never see Prof vets tbh

#

Its always loose cannons or cadians

little fox
#

Give me a krieg build where all I can use is flamers and a very overtuned shovel

obtuse raft
#

I'd be surprised if we ever get more voices. Each new one is more work than the last since every character needs interactions with every other.

fair shale
#

I was amazed they dropped an entire class with new voices

#

I was amazed when I learned one was Devora Wilde

obtuse raft

Ye if ever it'll be premium content

tepid otter

#

I'm not lucky enough to get a 69/71 plasma gun, but which one is better for the moment; 60/80 or 70/70?

tepid otter
#

On dmg?

fair shale
#

Oh dude thats old

#

You can straight up dump charge rate now

obtuse raft
#

Fatshark could probably fund darktide 2 by selling a 15$ kreig voice pack for all the lemmings

hollow ibex
#

@tired egret is still correct

fair shale
#

Didn't they fix charge rate affecting damage?

hollow ibex
#

they did

#

the current stat distribution is not because of that

fair shale
#

Why is it like that then?

hollow ibex
#

it's to have 8 uncharged shots, and the highest rate of fire

#

possible

fair shale
#

Fair enough

hollow ibex
#

reddit is wrong (shocker)

floral creek
#

I can fire 8 shots with both, the 60 one gets me at 99 at the 8th shot, the 70/70 gets me to 100% but does not explode yet

hollow ibex
#

well with 60 charge rate

#

you're taking a hit to your fire rate

fair shale
#

Tbh I like the slower shots but

#

I run optimized cooling blaze away

hollow ibex
#

but yes you can fire 8 uncharged shots with 60 charge

fair shale
#

So the slower shots gives me a lil more time to aim

#

I think if I ran the standard gets hot+other one I'm blanking on I'd like the firerate

First havocthumbsup_ogryn

You're all running shovel right?

primal zealot

early havocs are like malice or some other shit

unreal nova
fair shale
#

Havoc doesn't become a proper challenge till 25

#

Yeah

#

They get "harder" around 20

#

You can legit run through them till 16

fallen needle
#

huh. makes sense

unreal nova
#

You are probably still playing heresy++

#

11-20.

native hamlet
#

yeah

#

as you keep going, gradually enemies get tougher and you get less toughness and health

fallen needle
#

heresy is comfortable. damnation is 50/50. auric is when i ask the wife to hop on

native hamlet
#

you could probably already visually see the difference if you're in havoc 16

#

i think if you do an auric maelstrom you get auto bumped to like 16?

unreal nova
native hamlet
fallen needle
#

theres auric maelstromstaregryn ?

native hamlet
#

they changed the ui layout and i don't fully know how to navigate it yet

unreal nova
fallen needle
#

i started yesterday so probably a dumb question

unreal nova
#

You need to switch to auric difficulty to see it.

#

Mael is now heresy and auric only.

native hamlet
#

no damnation auric??

unreal nova
#

Mhm.

native hamlet
#

that is interesting

fallen needle
#

oof. i did my maelstrom on heresy

#

Was playing through the campaign of darktide and I finished a mission where they found the traitor on board. After that mission I wanted to get a cool helmet to match my shooters duty uniform and it turns out the shop keep was the traitor, AND THEY SERVATORIZED HER

IAG that is

remote sonnet

It is the fast firing one?

hollow ibex

middle child

#

the DPS is just very lacking

#

even with 15 stacks mmf lol

#

like i'll stop shooting, thinking the target is dead

#

but no

#

muscle memory from faster-killing IAGs (agri and vraks) lol

remote sonnet
#

Its good point is the ammo count.

#

That's it.

hollow ibex
#

yeah basically lol

remote sonnet
#

In term of damage per mag, it is higher than the other 2.

hexed wave
#

all steel legion cosmetics should have the steel legion patch and i think it was simply overlooked in the other cosmetics. also it should be on the left boot as well

tepid otter
#

the patches or iconagraphy i mean

hexed wave
#

the first one that ever came out has a white patch with the aquilla on it, then the long trench coat has no symbols at all

Maybe it was on purpose KEKW_ogryn since we're playing as a bunch of rejects with secondhand gear supplied by the inquisition

#

Two questions about executioner's stance

Does it apply to grenade damage
Does the ally highlight refresh on an ally kill or just yours

hollow ibex
#

ally highlight is just shooting yourself in the foot tbh

#

hurts your own refresh

wraith lion
#

Does Infiltrate's +30% damage apply to frags

hollow ibex
#

yes

#

as does CQKZ

#

(hence stealth bomber build being reaaaaally fucking funny)

wraith lion
#

Thank you for determining my build

#

I assume throwing a grenade breaks stealth?

hollow ibex
#

only overhand

PEAK

grand perch
#

especially since you can extend ES duration to 8 seconds

#

thats an eternity to kill any 1 marked target

#

extremely potent combo with smokes and perfect counter to plasma gunners

hollow ibex
#

you're going to take both the ogryn node and ally highlight

grand perch
#

you should see how eager people hunt specials, and especially plasma gunners, in havoc now

hollow ibex
#

boy i sure do wished i had that many talent points to spend!

grand perch
#

you easily can

hollow ibex
#

i'm not doing that shit in auric

#

all the specialists belong to me

hollow ibex
sharp epoch
#

ally highlight isnt really that detrimental now that tac awareness is so bad ironically

hollow ibex
#

i just want it as an extra source of ES regen

sharp epoch
grand perch
#

its not

#

and i have proven it

sharp epoch
#

doesnt it say right here

hollow ibex
#

fatshart lying? surely not

grand perch
#

see how long it stays active for ogryn? thats me extending it

sharp epoch
#

guess the text is wrong

#

exe stance vet is back guys

native hamlet
#

damn spearhead boltgun is cool. feels nice dunking on a boss if you have the space

tepid otter
#

new variant is my favourite so far

#

despite what people think KEKW_ogryn

hybrid plover
#

i'll be real

#

i feel like i would have been better off with exe stance

grand perch
sharp epoch
hybrid plover
#

i feel like if you actually know what you're doing, it's just a better ability

#

way more practical uptime

sharp epoch
#

yup

hybrid plover
#

much more impactful down the line because of the extra damage and honestly

#

information is a powerful thing even when you're going more melee focused

sharp epoch
#

and what I used shout was for the full toughness refill, exe stance does the same thing but better

grand perch
native hamlet
#

i thought it was only bistol that got it. been liking that one on zealot for stagger utility

sharp epoch
#

I still don't take born leader, demo team is just better and I don't got any extra points

hybrid plover
#

it's kinda nuts when you have a good setup for it

tepid otter
#

was it you that gave me that bolter exec stance build

native hamlet
#

unsure if im using it wrong, but trying to get damage for the more damanging bistol felt rough, so for some builds where i got throwing knives i take it for stag. feels nice

tepid otter
#

Its bonkers, i love it so far

hollow ibex
hybrid plover
hollow ibex
#

it's old design

#

and needs to be updated

hollow ibex
#

like arbi doesn't have anything like that

#

their support talents also affect the arbi itself

native hamlet
#

i would love to take it for altruism, but not enough i feel. i could compromise, but the greed is too much

hollow ibex
#

meanwhile vet gets dogshit like covering fire lmfao

tepid otter
hybrid plover
#

i'm glad people are starting to realize it's legitimately not bad at all

hollow ibex
hybrid plover
#

more controllable, stagger is very helpful

#

on exe stance it can still hit meaningful breakpoints

hollow ibex
#

i prefer the original myself still

native hamlet
hybrid plover
#

hipfire being more accurate is really nice too

native hamlet
#

oh really? that's sweet

tepid otter
#

its glorious

native hamlet
#

i usually run run n' gun on bistol so haven't noticed much. that's a neat feature

hybrid plover
#

and unlike regular bolter, you don't end up overshooting your mag by mistake because of the lower rof

native hamlet
tepid otter
#

that was like my main issue before too lmao

#

poggers of a gun tho

hollow ibex
#

i really think the new bolter shouldn't have the ammo/mag penalty

#

the damage penalty kinda sucks

tepid otter
#

the clip doesnt even look all that different too, size wise anyway KEKW_ogryn

native hamlet
hollow ibex
tepid otter
#

someone mentioned another update comin a few months from now too, excited to see whats new on that one as well

hollow ibex
#

should be a winter update

native hamlet
#

oh yeah, how's exe stance? last i tried vet, everyone would laugh if you were thinking about it since it didn't offer any breakpoints

hollow ibex
#

it's great

#

used to be pretty hard to use well, but not anymore

native hamlet
#

unsure if the ult itself was bad or just was how it was back then with the balancing

native hamlet
tall torrent
#

wallhack + toughness/s + stun immune is good

hollow ibex
#

stun immunne is what gets me killed lol

native hamlet
#

nice

distant mural
#

Exe stance with bolter is peak now

native hamlet
#

maybe i'll changed it up. so used to defaulting to shout for every build. gold toughness is cool and all, but been wondering about more offense

hollow ibex
#

i just don't use shout

#

shout boring

native hamlet
#

esp since havoc peeps like to soak up more dmg than usual

distant mural
native hamlet
#

yeah. i like the support but im worn out from using it all the time

distant mural
#

Exe stance is also much better support imo

native hamlet
#

yeah! the wallhacks look awesome

distant mural
#

Gold toughness is nice and all but getting rid of snipers and disablers preemtively is super usefull imo

fair shale
#

I think smart use of smokes and exe stance is cool

distant mural
#

Yeah pretty much anything thats qnnoying you just see and delete it

native hamlet
#

funnily enough today was the first time i brought mk4 helbore into live gameplay and about all my 4 missions with it were lights out

#

wallhacks would've def helped there lmao

tall torrent
#

a lot more dmg for gun

#

tho it's kinda more ammo limited than CD limited

native hamlet
#

at least it's got utility incase you're running dry

distant mural
#

Whats cooldown?staregryn

#

Never have that with exe stance lol

native hamlet
#

do y'all take the "highlight all human shooters" or "ogryn and up are outlined" nodes?

distant mural
#

Yeah ogryn for more time

grand perch
#

I've been using ogryn now pretty much always

native hamlet
#

ah okay

distant mural
#

And take all the reload buffs u can get

native hamlet
#

oh right cuz if you kill a highlight it refreshes

grand perch
#

Eh not really needed

native hamlet
#

i was thinking people can already see big guys so not needed

grand perch
#

MMF and WS already give reload speed anyway

tall torrent
#

Shooter is better max uptime depending on ur gun but ogryn is nicer for going after the stuff that rly matter

distant mural
#

I take tactical reload and speed on elite kill and its a must on bolter imo

sharp epoch
#

the ogryns are a bonus

grand perch
#

Bolter, shotguns and plasma can do with reload speed, sure

#

Most others it's kind of a waste

sharp epoch
#

plasma reload speed is not needed

tall torrent
#

Plasma no need for reload speed

#

Only boltgun

think i can get rid of redirect fire for boltgun/power sword? thinking i can give it up to slot in either iron will or agile engagement not sure which

sharp epoch
#

you didnt have iron will? 💀

grand perch
#

Then again some people swear on always prepared for plasma and I don't see it

fair shale
#

Tbh even prior to tree reworks I didnt see it

#

Just learn the animation cancel

grand perch
#

Vet rule #1
You will take iron will and you will like it

native hamlet
# sharp epoch you didnt have iron will? 💀

i had it, but i keep toggling it on and off between theorycrafting. i haven't gone into a mission without it yet (and i had shout so gold toughness was more preserved). i assume i will get my ass kicked if i dont have it haha

Animation cancel cheesy and lame

#

wtf helbore partial charges are ridiculously powerful

#

mk4

native hamlet
#

true

#

iirc i didnt even need to charge to kill about all specials except mutie on the head with max mmf lol

fair shale
#

If youre effecient you normally only have to reload on the inbetween elevators

sharp epoch
#

unless its havoc

fair shale
#

If its havoc i think you should get over yourself and learn the anim cancel tbf

native hamlet
#

yeah. that's what i ended up doin'

#

theres an animation cancel for the plasma?

native hamlet
#

sometimes it's nice seeing it fully play out, but winning (or prolonging death long enough for funny moments) is too much of an opportunity cost

native hamlet
fair shale
#

Technically by animation canceling i am playing the game more cause I'm pressing more buttons

tall torrent
tepid otter
#

How do you do it

hollow ibex
#

when the circle thing on the top during the last part of the reload begins rotating

#

sprint

#

plasma animation cancel is stupid easy

grand perch
#

Look at 1:55

#

There's a demo, three spots in the animation where you can speed it up

fair shale
#

Ye olde 3 stage reload lol

tepid otter
#

Oh I see

fair shale
#

Im ngl I love animation cancellable reloads

#

It almost reminds me of GoW

#

Or BF2

#

I love sweet spot reload mechanics

tall torrent
#

Having animation cancel is almost always better than not having them

fair shale
#

Idk

#

They're tech

#

I enjoy tech, is fun

little fox
#

I wish we had scopes or something, so many iron sights suck

grand perch
#

Scopes suck though... At least the ones you can already mod on

fair shale
#

Some irons are way better than others

#

The God Emperor's real contribution with the bolter was those irons

tepid otter
#

think scopes would be kinda weird considering youre just beset on all sides by enemies almost half the time

little fox
#

Not like a sniper scope, like a holographic or something idk gun jargon

tepid otter
#

Ohh

#

Kinda like whats on the infantry lasguns?

little fox
#

Yeah, just wish there was more of that tbh

#

I prefer just the auto guns and they're so bad for long range, only because of their iron sights

tepid otter
#

maybe they should add weapon customizations in Darktide next, have our rejects just personalize their weapons of choice

#

sounds kinda neat

little fox
#

I'd love that tbh, nothing major just slight modifications would be nice

tepid otter
#

yeah that'd be nice

#

itd still be the same gun, in essence

little fox
#

Being able to put a flashlight on more guns at the very least lol

dry cloak

#

Generally I prefer braces for dakka, but infantry is in fact my favorite. Haven't decided on which marks I prefer yet

native hamlet
#

for boltgun, cavalcade with puncture or cavalcade with shattering impact?

tall torrent
native hamlet
#

could boltgun stagger captains? im worried about it not being useful vs monsters and captains

#

unless i'm missing something

inland canopy
tepid otter
dry cloak
#

Shields yes

#

Health it depends

native hamlet
#

maybe more worthwhile on lieutenants cuz their shield is down for longer

tepid otter
#

yeah i usually mag dump when the shield is down sine it kinda knocks you back too

native hamlet
#

though it would be an ammo sink. not sure how to make that up without being greedy for ammo

native hamlet
tepid otter
#

ive just observed that i can get more dmg in by just melee'ing as opposed to mag dumping them with a bolter before their shield goes back up

#

im not sure if theres a dmg threshold before it comes back up or like a timer

native hamlet
#

maybe i'll try pinning fire. theoretically i should be able to fire once in a horde and get max stacks yeah?
then redirect to big ugly

native hamlet
#

based off martyrdom thammer experiences

tepid otter
#

yeah, there was some cases where they already had the shield back up almost immediately after taking a chunk of dmg

#

so i couldnt get my timing in

#

it just weirded me out since i cant tell which ones are the caps from the leftenants sometimes

tight plover
#

been thinking of getting back on the game, is there a way to get the lasgun and shovel to be godlike

fiery raft
#

how's the power falchion?

dry cloak
#

Good

fiery raft
#

what's the dump stat on it

dry cloak
#

Mob, defences or power output

fiery raft
#

ight

#

is there any like

#

tech with it to know

dry cloak
#

Same stuff as relic blade

fiery raft
#

never used relic blade

dry cloak
#

Reginald has quick tutorial on power flachion

#

Watch it and younshould know everything

fiery raft

alright

Check pins

fiery raft

hammer of the emperor?

dry cloak
#

Yup

fiery raft
#

is it outdated?

dry cloak
#

In perks section.

#

Weapons are up to snuff

#

This aint ogrynomicon thats always up to date

fiery raft
#

i just wonder about the new wep variants

#

and how good they are

dry cloak
#

The bolters arw fine. A bit worse for sniping but therwise prfectly fine

sharp epoch
tight plover
#

damn

#

i liked them

normal bay
#

You can make something usable. Exe stance + MMF to juice up your lasgun. take whatever melee nodes you can afford and run kraks for armour lol

odd sparrow
#

Lasgun is still good if your aim is good.

Shovel is mid to my understanding

normal bay
#

Just don't expect "Godlike"

tight plover
#

im aware that there are some RNG perks or such that can make a godlike weapon, i so was just planning on testing my luck

normal bay
#

Only works if the weapon is up to the task KEKW_ogryn

sharp epoch
tight plover
#

idk what it is, i dont like embracing meta or the actually too good weapons and such, i like harships and grind

#

so i thought perfecting those two would make for a nice challenge

sharp epoch
#

well just playing veteran would be off meta, they were considered one of the worst classes last patch

tight plover
#

hm

frigid shuttle
distant mural
#

Unless u play havoc u dont need to pay too much attention to that imo

calm shard
#

the meta blessings/perks for weapons are often core functionality that give the weapons their identities

fossil creek
#

What is the meta in this game?

fiery raft
#

i think its still plasma and ds

fossil creek
#

ds?

calm shard
fiery raft
#

but im likely wrong

calm shard
#

lot of class changes just happened

fiery raft
fossil creek
#

ahh

calm shard
#

Dueling Sword is like meta yeah

fiery raft
#

dueling sword is really good

calm shard
#

But every class has one unique weapon that's arguably better than it

fossil creek
#

rn im using the power falchion on almost all my vet builds

calm shard
#

or you're Arbitrator/Ogryn who obviously don't have it

fiery raft
#

i dont like using it cuz its a rapier

#

im not big on rapier

fossil creek
#

yeah same

fiery raft
#

i like combat knife

fossil creek
#

duelling sword isnt rlly cool

fiery raft
#

and im gonna try out the power falchion

#

but idk how good it is

#

i havent played since may

fossil creek
#

I think it's pretty good

calm shard
#

Path says it's a sidegrade to Rashad combat axe (top 5 vet melee)

#

IIb variant is much better

fossil creek
#

Using a wacky build rn

fiery raft
#

similar to the powersword?

fossil creek
#

Exec stance, infantry autogun, smoke nades

#

but mostly doing smoke nades for the penance

calm shard
#

the weird one with the uppercut/overhead single target stuff

fiery raft
#

fuh ive never used that

#

what's the lethal prox build on the bistol agian?

inland canopy
#

cuz it's up and down

pseudo fiber

party finder in a nutshell?

#

rottrn armor and stim 😔

midnight wyvern
#

rotten stim is way better than rotten purple

#

fuck rotten purple

willow prairie
#

encroaching garden ain't shit

#

90 crushers all body blocking the 10 purples:

tepid otter
#

what are rotten purples

midnight wyvern
#

like rotten apples

willow prairie
#

like its bad

tepid otter
#

im guessing its a modifier right? i meant what does it do to the enemies KEKW_ogryn

fiery raft
#

alice in chains

pseudo fiber
#

Rotten armour I don't remember I know they fart on deathb

willow prairie
#

green stim make every elite heal themself to full

midnight wyvern
#

its worse than that but its also not on every elite

#

and they're not always green stimms

#

the stimm adds health to them

#

so they can green stim at max health and get 2x hp on H40 lol

fiery raft
#

what role does the new bolter play?

#

like what's the main difference

#

it seems to be more of a sniping tool

turbid ibex
#

New bolter is more of a stagger/horde clear stick

fiery raft
#

i see it does a bit less dmg

steel veldt
#

I heard Cutthroat voice lines

#

I am really tempted to personality switch my Professional vet into the Cadian man

#

Just because of the combat ability voice lines Cutthroat has, ESPECIALLY VoC and Exe

#

"Sever the head, the body dies" goes so unbeliavebly hard.

#

Why did I pick Professional when I first started???

turbid ibex
#

Pros of playing VoC with cutthroat: amazing lines with an amazing VA
Cons: VoC 💤

pseudo fiber
#

He's the most popular pick

has anybody got a exe stance bolter build?

holy shit I need to personality scourge

or make new characters

#

Thats neat

#

May save up the dockets so i can change up my psyker and ogryn then

#

Not a fan of the red on them

#

But on vet and zealot i like it

steel veldt
#

I have enough Dockets to personality scourge but for some reason it feels wrong to do it

#

Then again choosing Pro and not Cadian Man whilst HAVING the choice because I picked my home planet as Cadia makes me sick

#

What is wrong with me?

for a havoc viable veteran, yeah! if you got any advice or a full on build

or any good/fun build tbh

I just started dipping my toes into Havoc just recently too tho so i cant say muchKEKW_ogryn

One motion getting its bonus doubled was also pretty big for it

Meanwhile ogryn is still stuck with +20% swap speed

ive just one tricked vet since starting so idk what other changes the other class had if im being honestKEKW_ogryn

#

played a bit of Zealot, but Ive only got it at level 20 something rn
