and trying to say that it's good to have HP in case you get hit by a burster

old cobalt
#

you and vror are the only people ive ever seen that don't run health on vet to hit 201hp

Tbh I run tough tough stam personally

im still waking up

tall torrent
#

And no it’s not down

#

It’s straight death

trim badger
#

Wouldn't just having 1 single 5% +hp slot be better than 1 21% hp tho?

hearty panther
#

Just don't get hit

tall torrent
#

Because burster close range blast is 50 corruption

U will just die

When your bubble inferno psyker dies what will you do now toughness defender?

#

The player base does actually have like. A spectrum of what they enjoy.

tall torrent
#

It’s just an insurance pick I don’t see what’s particularly wrong with it

tall torrent
#

Going toughness instead is like 1 extra shot from a gunner u can take

hearty panther
#

My insurance is being the best player ever.

snow valve
#

but it doesn't matter what you pick at anything other than high havocs

#

you could run with green curios

open fossil
#

All the enemies that are going to fuck you are gonna do damage to your health anyways

void dragon
old cobalt
#

It is absolutely wild that this chat will actively dog on players for choosing the curios that they perform best with because its not the meta

snow valve
#

if we are thinking about optimising a build i am already in the high havoc mindset

old cobalt
#

Like. If you perform best with it, USE IT.

honest quiver
open fossil
#

I mean there are some pretty clear and obvious metas tho

#

Like duelling sword

trim badger
#

DS still meta after all the nerfs and fixes lolololol

snow valve
#

but also you have to have your conversation around an envelope, are you looking for the best thing to slot in or not?

open fossil
snow valve
#

if not then you're just talking in circles

old cobalt
void dragon
honest quiver
#

it's not that deep of a game

#

people getting shit on for picking certain curios is insane

trim badger
#

Guys I know what we need to diversify Darktide

old cobalt
#

yeah thats kinda crazy

old cobalt
trim badger
#

We clearly need Darktide Versus mode

void dragon

#

I think its important to debate this shit tho cause otherwise i wouldnt know why what im choosing is particularly better

snow valve
#

i agree with stinger here

fair shale
#

I do too

#

I like knowing why I do somwthing

trim badger
honest quiver
#

what is "better" is relative, as evidenced by what people have been arguing about here

#

if you really want to know what is better, consult the data

void dragon
#

Yeah, it is not so clear what is the actual meta, specially with so many followers of the Games lantern builds

tall torrent
old cobalt
#

TBF I also feel like people asking questions in this server don't specify enough. If you want a question answered, specify expectations. State what you want to do, what difficulty you're playing on, what you are willing and not willing to change, etc.

stuck gorge

there was a clip of a trapper pulling someone from a one way drop

so basically the same thing

trim badger

That's all

old cobalt

oh god vet can actually get

quite a lot of health

void dragon

Vet can get like plus 300 hp

#

If you put all your eggs into that basket

#

Lmfao

old cobalt
#

My health curios bring me to 233 HP, 115 Toughness lmao

trim badger
#

Hmm

old cobalt
#

i def need to uhh

#

fix that

snow valve
#

i think there's enough damage in vet tree that skirmisher is not needed

void dragon
snow valve
#

i still 1shot mutant in head with poke without skirmisher

old cobalt

okay i gotta ask

#

did they buff recon lasgun???

they buffed vet

wh

void dragon
# trim badger I was finding the build :(((

Hey, I'm not shaming, I do like the thrill of taking more damage because at the end of the day, being aware of corners to slide sprint will be more defense than any toughness

old cobalt
turbid ibex
#

Wake up

old cobalt
#

ok

turbid ibex
#

Its been a whole year

old cobalt
#

tbh at least its not tf2

trim badger
old cobalt
#

its been 9 years since the last tf2 major update

trim badger
#

My acc with DS headshots is very high

old cobalt
tall torrent
trim badger
tall torrent
#

And the ammo pick is minuscule in the grand scheme of things

mortal aspen
grand perch
#

marksmans is not really needed for plasma

trim badger
honest quiver
trim badger
honest quiver
#

that's why they said plasma

trim badger
#

And I'm clarifying it's mostly for tHe DS

honest quiver
#

i am aware you are using marksman for DS

old cobalt
#

question: what to yall bind ping to for FT?

void dragon
#

I swear sometimes I don't understand the process. Feel that we know what is kinda good but we have no idea what actual meta is, specially since it changes per weapon ever so slightly

honest quiver
#

just enjoy the game

#

experiment, read the data

snow valve
#

the meta changes based on what our game goals are though

#

like, what's your comp?

#

do you trust your teammates?

honest quiver
#

or just listen to whoever says they're the best h40 player in the game

trim badger
#

@tall torrent will reconsider ammo but marksman is a must stay tho, it helps shredding bosses so much faster

old cobalt
#

I wish we could bind ping to multiple keys :c

trim badger
#

Also reducing crusher thresshold to only 3 hits with my setup but hehe

hot aurora
#

what ranged weapon can i use to kill snipers or long range targets? on several guides they use revolver with 1 ammo or plasma gun but i dont like any of those 2

old cobalt
#

or have per-class/character keybindings

honest quiver
trim badger
old cobalt
#

ya like I want ping bound to T and M2

void dragon
# tall torrent Wat

That's more of my feeling, it's not so easy to notice for me what is actual meta for each case, feels quite easy to fall into gameslantern builds instead

old cobalt
#

for vet

mortal aspen
tame lodge
trim badger
tall torrent
old cobalt
#

I want to be able to ping without ADSing but auto-highlighting what I am at is -real- nice

fair shale
#

I have ping bound to MB5

hot aurora
tame lodge
#

Long range targets?
Vigilants, Lasgun, Laspistol

void dragon
tame lodge
#

Bolter

trim badger
snow valve
old cobalt
#

but its great

hot aurora
#

oh ok i thought it was hitting like a cone i didnt see any projectile , i guess i will just train plasma more i did only 2 games with it

snow valve
#

that's why the plasma is meta

old cobalt
#

i mean i still use revolver on like my zealot because I love how quick the little bastard is but

tame lodge
mortal aspen
#

double barrel shotgun is the best sniper killer

honest quiver
#

triple barrel

snow valve
#

best sniper killer is arbites dog

void dragon
tame lodge
#

It's actually Throwing Knives

trim badger
void dragon
old cobalt
snow valve
#

bolt pistol is my favourite gun in the game

mortal aspen
#

revolver kills crushers

sonic pecan
#

are the new marks on bolt weapons still trash or did they hotfix them

old cobalt
#

but also who cares revolver

snow valve
#

it's so fucking delicious when you have puncture and lethal proximity

void dragon
trim badger
old cobalt
#

I wouldn't say its the best gun in the game, but if you asked me to ONLY ever use ONE gun? Bolt Pistol.

trim badger
#

(I still laugh at them nerfing bolter ammo)

tame lodge
#

That being said

trim badger
#

(it did nothing)

snow valve
#

you smack a horde point blank and stagger them for enough space to drop your shredder grenade

tame lodge
#

AoE for the AoE god

#

Crowd Control for the cc throne

snow valve

and then pound bleed stacks on the monstrosity

tall torrent
snow valve
#

speak for yourself

old cobalt
#

i wont tolerate that kinda slander

snow valve
#

bolts for the bolt god

hearty panther
#

I like the sound the new bolt guns make if nothing else.

old cobalt
#

BP is gr8

tall torrent

Most dogshit breakpoint gun ever

snow valve

pistols for the pistol throne

trim badger
old cobalt

Because it feels fun to use and i like the sounds it makes

snow valve
tall torrent

They cooked its design into well done

snow valve

you know what I love though, SPEARHEAD BOLTGUN

FUCK YEAH

on my nades vet built it onetaps gunners head, flamers body, and oneshots all specials

void dragon
old cobalt
snow valve
#

bolt pistol is genuinely just a fun, solid weapon

#

it's not a plasma gun

old cobalt
#

I like the bolt pistol because it sounds beefy and looks cool

snow valve
#

but it is the next best thing for vet

sonic pecan
#

should have added plasma pistol

old cobalt
#

its just fun

sonic pecan
#

:/

open fossil

Should've added melta

should have added basilisks

you cannot argue about what is fun

#

because fun is subjective

honest quiver
#

why do people glaze that gun so much

old cobalt
honest quiver
#

i like actually hitting the things i'm aiming at personally

mortal aspen
#

the new bolter is really fun ngl

honest quiver
#

i have it on my zealot, it is cool, but idk

old cobalt
#

I use revolver on my zealot

honest quiver
#

not gonna use it on vet........

old cobalt
#

but i do swap to BP sometimes for the memes

tall torrent
old cobalt
#

If something is fun but bad, lower the difficulty.

#

if you dont like lower difficulty, its not fun for you

#

that doesnt mean it cant be fun for other people lmao

tall torrent
#

It can be fun for others

honest quiver
#

jeez this is getting aggressive

tall torrent

I also don’t rly care what other people are running

honest quiver
#

do u guy s wannt a see a pupy

pseudo fiber
#

Yay

honest quiver
#

dog g :)

tall torrent
#

I’m not gonna pretend like it’s well designed because it’s the furthest thing from it

old cobalt
#

other people know that game exists?

tall torrent
old cobalt
#

What hellbore models are best for what btw?

#

If I'm gonna be trying it out

tame lodge
#

Mk4

#

Best for everything

old cobalt
#

got it ty

tame lodge
#

Mk3 is best for beginners though

#

Mk5 is faster charging

honest quiver
#

for my build i chose Mk V because it's the most ammo efficient - 2 shots per, fast charging, bayonet special, etc

old cobalt
#

Why is MK3 > MK4 for beginners?

honest quiver
#

mk 4 uses 9 ammo per shot

old cobalt
#

I -do- like ammo efficiency

honest quiver
#

mk 3 uses 6

#

i think it's 6 anyway

old cobalt
#

im running Mk. XII Recon right now

honest quiver
#

lemme make sure

tall torrent
old cobalt
#

3a is 6 on charge ya

tall torrent
#

Because for a lot of enemies u don’t need to full charge to 1 shot

#

IV is also very unwieldy with the long charge time

old cobalt
#

So
Mk. IIIa for ease of use
Mk. IV for best all around
Mk. V for ammo efficiency?

tall torrent
#

Ease of use is V tbh

#

IIIa is balanced all around

old cobalt
#

time to gamble!

tall torrent
#

However IV saves u some point spec on damage because it hits so hard u kinda don’t need superiority complex or longshot for it

old cobalt
#

ill probs skip on 4

#

and probably use Mk. V

tame lodge
#

Casual Helbore W as always

old cobalt
#

oh sweet

#

i got 60% stability in 2 rolls

tame lodge
#

Mk4 is the hardest hitting ranged weapon in the game
But really slow charge and the worst bayonet

honest quiver
#

i tried to switch back to the mk V from mk IIIa and i got a bluescreen

old cobalt
#

n e a t

honest quiver
#

god is telling me something

old cobalt
#

is it optimal to concencrate whites to greens or blues for sacrifice?

tame lodge
#

Greens

honest quiver
#

damn i might use the mk IIIa

trim badger
#

I love mk4

honest quiver
#

V is way faster but that little damage boost is nice

trim badger
#

Reapers begone

old cobalt
#

MK4 is just the "fuck you" cannon right?

trim badger
#

Haven't tried it in Havoc against plasma gunners tho

old cobalt
#

if the MK4 cant delete it nothing can?

trim badger
#

Probably yeah

old cobalt
#

I take it run Surgical + Hotshot for the Lasgun crit build?

tall torrent
#

Armorbane because plasma gunner & crusher

old cobalt
#

got it

tall torrent
#

Most of the rest don’t matter much

honest quiver
#

goated?

tall torrent
trim badger
honest quiver
#

the 10 stack requirement is a bit steep

hearty panther
#

The 15% rending payoff isn't enough

hollow ibex
#

makes sense on mk5/3

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

i need my RPM

void dragon
#

Aside from MMF I mean

hearty panther
#

IV returns to its rightful throne as a ranged thunder hammer.

tall torrent
#

It’s just not a good breakpoint to build for

#

That’s 2 crit headshots with loads of conditional buffs

void dragon
#

Maybe not super buffed by modifiers but base ones I was able to, probably should try some mods on them to see the difference

hearty panther
#

-laughs in stims-

#

"DIDENT HURT"

tame lodge

"Ogryn too strong"

void dragon
tame lodge
#

canned laughter

tall torrent
void dragon
#

Doesn't sounds that hard

tame lodge
#

If you hit a 19500 HP crusher for 1950 Dmg or less

#

Those lines should play

#

Because that's the condition iirc

old cobalt
#

okay if i use hellbore i am

#

gonna have to not run VoC

tall torrent
#

Exe is situationally better

old cobalt
#

I know I just prefer it

void dragon
#

Voc is fine for cc, but not mandatory

old cobalt
#

Im a support slut

#

but hellbore seems like it'd benefit REALLY well from ES

void dragon
tall torrent
#

Exe be like
intended use: ranged dps
actual use: wallhack + toughness/s + stun immunity

old cobalt
#

VoC/Choir/Taunt/Bubble

#

I know what I'm about

#

i just want the wallhacks because like

tall torrent
#

Also exe fixes power sword’s bug lol

old cobalt
#

losing a flashlight and also having to charge makes aiming significantly harder

atomic void
tall torrent
# atomic void ?

If energized attack hits while player is stunned by an enemy attack at the same time, power sword turns off

tame lodge
old cobalt
#

If I run Hellbore I'll probably swap from VoC/FT to Stance/MF

tall torrent
#

However because exe stance gives stun immunity

atomic void
#

yeah i know the bug but had no idea exe fixes it lmfao

tall torrent
#

Power sword will never turn off

atomic void
#

im all for exe meta baby gigaxi

hearty panther
#

The 8 second duration node is so fucken tight

old cobalt
#

running MF on the lasgun build is probably way better was well lmao

#

no 5 point tax

atomic void
#

fatshark's masterplan to nerf voc by not actually nerfing it and just making the cooldown longer and exe stance more fun to use

old cobalt
#

its a shame you can't copy builds in game

atomic void
old cobalt
void dragon
old cobalt
#

So if I run hellbore alt build

#

looks like I'm running Hellbore/Power Sword + EXE/MF

hearty panther
#

Eight seconds of refreshing stun immunity. We love Xstance 2025

old cobalt
#

what do i talent into for the ES sub-tree?

hearty panther
#

8 seconds

old cobalt
#

ETP as well?

hearty panther
#

fuck is that

tall torrent
hearty panther
#

oh right

old cobalt
#

Enhanced Target Priority

hearty panther
#

no

tall torrent
#

It’s literally all I use it for

old cobalt
#

Counter-Fire seems to make the stance actively worse

tall torrent
#

The ranged damage bonus is a side benefit to help breakpoints to me lol

tall torrent
hearty panther
#

its so fucken good

old cobalt
#

so you DONT talent for elite highlight for allies?

tall torrent
#

I literally meme and run knife + DB with exe stance now

sly orchid
hearty panther
#

youll keep your stance up for a medically concerning length of time

tall torrent
old cobalt
void dragon
old cobalt
#

mmmh. So if I'm using infantry lasgun no

crude wind
#

Agree counterfire feels terrible now

old cobalt
#

but it might be good for hellbore

tall torrent
#

All my vet builds rn use exe stance and not for the ranged dps lmao

crude wind
#

I'm 8s node on every exe build

void dragon
#

Infantry lasgun WISHES it was Mk5 helbore

hearty panther
old cobalt
#

why not take both?

tall torrent
#

U can’t

crude wind
#

You can't

old cobalt

oh

Mutually exclusive lockout

crude wind

Counter fire just feels pointless

old cobalt

hearty panther
#

Nix is hacking

old cobalt
#

mixed C-F and ETP

crude wind
#

Unless you struggle to see regular dudes

hollow ibex
#

i like counterfire

#

that's the shooter regen node for ES right

hearty panther
#

Ogryn 8s just lets me play full melee vet

hollow ibex
#

not the ally highlight node

void dragon
crude wind
#

But you almost always get the full exe stance cool down duration with the 8s node

old cobalt
#

cf is shooter highlight

#

etp is highlight for allies

void dragon
#

It's the bastards-with-guns-be-GONE

hollow ibex
#

yeah i like it for regen

crude wind
#

And you don't drop stance because someone shot the chaff unit you were about to headshot

hollow ibex
#

because sometimes there just aren't ogryns to regen off of

#

so would rather have the flexibility of shooting trash to regen

old cobalt
#

I just use sheer volume of fire to solve my problems

mortal aspen
crude wind
#

It regens off any special or elite

old cobalt
#

like a god damn american

crude wind
#

Not just ogryns

hollow ibex
crude wind
#

And 8s node

old cobalt
#

you cant miss if you shove 500 rounds downrange before the zealot can sneeze

hollow ibex
#

yeah idk sometimes doesn't feel like enough

tall torrent
void dragon
#

The counter fire is for the small enemies because those on higher difficulties will become an issue fast

#

If no oneis hunting them

hollow ibex
old cobalt
#

okay so ES is

#

if you can kill 1 specialist every 8 seconds for 30 seconds

hollow ibex
#

and sometimes the game is just sending chaff units

old cobalt
#

it has no cd

stiff fulcrum
#

Can anyone help me with the just a flesh wound pennance

#

I need at least 1 person

void dragon
#

There are sections that the game just sends fodder Nonstop

tall torrent
old cobalt
#

o h\

#

thats

#

o h

#

okay

tall torrent
#

Also highly recommend the ConstantFov mod so exe stance doesn’t narrow ur fov

hollow ibex
#

trying to melee

#

while having a fucking magnifying glass applied to the screen

tall torrent
#

@crude wind can we get exe stance to not reduce FOV at least as a game setting please

old cobalt
#

oh so you dont want the like

void dragon
crude wind
#

Legit hate that

old cobalt
#

you dont WANT your allies to kill targets highlighted by etp in some situations

pseudo fiber
crude wind
#

Hahahaha

old cobalt
#

you need the specialist kills to extend duration

hollow ibex
old cobalt
hollow ibex
#

the more allies yoink kills, the less regen i have

mortal aspen
old cobalt
mortal aspen
#

there's enough for everyone

tall torrent
void dragon
mortal aspen
#

it's just 1 elite every 8s, and the actual CD is more like 20-25, not 30

pseudo fiber
void dragon
#

Honestly, the highlight for team needs some other benefits, I can't see a reason to take it nowadays

old cobalt
#

can i get a quick example of a left-tree build for ES/MF?

hollow ibex
old cobalt
#

i have never used any of those

tall torrent
void dragon
#

I'm supporting my team by shooting those myself

hollow ibex
#

for helbore specifically

old cobalt
#

thank

void dragon
tall torrent
#

Still not as op as psyker

tame lodge
old cobalt
#

I went Field Improv/Opening Salvo for support/ammo econ on vet instead of trench fighter/serrated, that fine?

void dragon
hollow ibex
old cobalt
#

actually

#

i might be misinterpeting

#

does 20% ammo mean

#

You have fired an amount of bullets equal to 20% of your mag

#

or

#

you have fired 20% of your mag

tall torrent
#

Opening salvo grants crit chance as long as ur ammo exceeds 80% of mag size

old cobalt
#

So wouldnt that be -real- good with Shock Troop?

tall torrent
#

Well

hollow ibex
#

it's ok

tall torrent
#

I don’t think it’s that strong tbh

hollow ibex
#

yeah i don't think it's worth a point

tall torrent
#

I’d rather take deadshot

hollow ibex
#

i ultimately chose not to take it on helbore

old cobalt
#

No? Damn. I thought a self-cycling feedback loop that gave crit-chance and ammo econ'd be solid

tall torrent
#

Deadshot is ok for helbore rn cuz u get 0.5s regen delay for going to shock trooper

old cobalt
#

kk

#

ill keep field improv but swap out salvo for serrated blade

heavy rover
#

Deadshot on helbore?

#

I feel like deadshot would work better on infantry las

grand perch
#

its less waiting for surge stacks

old cobalt
#

whats infantry las's altfire?

#

the flashlight?

tall torrent
#

Ads

old cobalt
#

THATS WHAT IT MEANS BY ALT FIRE?

heavy rover
#

Yes

tall torrent
#

What did u think

grand perch
#

oh you thought it applied to helbore bayonet? KEKW_ogryn

#

thats legit funny

old cobalt
#

i never really thought about it

#

but ive literally never heard a game refer to ADS as anything other than ads

#

what psychopath calls it fucking alt fire? This isn't 1995, there are RULES in the game industry

#

ADS is called ADS and nothing else

hollow ibex
tall torrent
#

Because there’re guns that don’t ads in this game

hollow ibex
#

taking both is a bit of a waste

heavy rover
old cobalt
#

oh my god

#

yeah no they just straight up call it secondary action

#

this fills me with an unreasonable amount of rage

hearty panther
#

smh this is what u get for not reading the glossary first

tall torrent
old cobalt
#

they could have labeled it ADS/Block or something

tall torrent
#

Yes

old cobalt
#

idk just not SECONDARY ACTION

#

that makes me so unreasonably mad lmao

tall torrent
#

Not worth

hollow ibex
old cobalt
#

wdym both?

hollow ibex
#

they don't have either

old cobalt
#

Field Improv + Serrated Blade?

hollow ibex
#

oh

#

yeah don't take both

#

they're tax nodes

tall torrent
#

If u already have field improv don’t go for serrated

old cobalt
#

then i aint taking serrated

#

i like field improv

#

i can help :D

mortal aspen
heavy rover
#

Excuse me that's my job gestures name

old cobalt
#

what weapon cant ads or block

hollow ibex
turbid ibex
hollow ibex
#

a lot of guns don't ADS

old cobalt
#

THATS CLOSE ENOUGH TO ADSING

old cobalt
tall torrent
#

Serrated is ok on like 3 weapons

Power sword (cleave 40+ to distribute bleed to mixed horde)

Tac axe (actually hits things a lot to kill)

Knife (hits things a lot + mercy killer)

old cobalt
#

so for hellbore run percision strikes

#

for recon run deadshot

tall torrent
#

No

#

Precision strikes first and foremost

heavy rover
#

Holy shit I never thought about that. Sunder on power sword with serrated

turbid ibex
#

Sundae on pord

old cobalt
#

wait

tall torrent
old cobalt
#

if im not taking serrated or weapon swing speed

#

i can just take both lmao

heavy rover
#

Oh shit you're right

old cobalt
#

but if im running deadshot i 100% need a stam curio ya?

tall torrent
#

Ya

old cobalt
#

got it

#

ill swap my stuff out

#

Enough health to hit the 100 gate and a lil bit more, toughness and stam

sly orchid
#

I should swap headtaker to decimator on taxe vet

tall torrent
#

I still run headtaker

#

Don’t like Decimator

hollow ibex
#

i hate deci i hate deci i hate deci

sly orchid
#

But does take some skill to keep up

old cobalt

okay so on my curios running DR Gunner, +5% Toughness and 12% Stam Regen on 2 of them

with just enough time to go "Ah, beans" before I was suddenly cosplaying a cheese grater

It's not soo much that they are scary

It is more of the fact that I am always getting shot at

But I'm just dogshit if

Tanner told me just to "dodge the gunners" 😈

What I'm running right now is

Gunner / Gunner / Sniper
Toughness / Toughness / Toughness

but the stam/stam/stam was because i didnt have a stam curio

old cobalt

uhh

#

internet says if that happens just press tab

and it should fix

but that bug was patched like 2 years ago

#

so idk why its happening now

#

Okay I'll try that, thank you so much~

old cobalt
#

np!

trail night
#

Tab worked

#

So that's a thing I guess haha

old cobalt

we love bug fixes from 2 years ago lmao

#

aparrently this is a bug that just

comes and goes?

im seeing reports of it from the v2 launch and april but nothing recently

I need some advice. I'm playing a crit heavy laspistol build, but idk what to use for my melee. got a dueling sword atm but it feels way weaker than before, especially for crushers (my slowest to kill). any tips for what else I can use instead?

heavy rover
#

You can also swap trench fighter drills to get to field improvisation so you can get more breathing room for grenades. Plus it helps the rest of the team too

hybrid plover
#

Shovels a weapon that actually does strongly benefit from that alone.

#

Makes it far easier to keep a horde off of you

heavy rover
#

Hmm yeah that's fair

void dragon
#

feel that the bleed benefits them more, since they already have rending the bleed will do more damage on big targets

honest quiver
# heavy rover You can also swap trench fighter drills to get to field improvisation so you can...

i'm not big on shock trooper with the helbore guns!! any other las gun i'd understand.
i find that it's better to have rending strikes at least to give us that little boost to our overall damage so we can hit certain auric breakpoints. i am willing to swap it for tunnel vision though, and i think once i'm actually able to play the game (it's scuffed right now for some reason), i'll test it out. on paper, it seems like a worthy swap.
field improv is... fine, and very helpful. i will consider the swap, but i'm not overly concerned for grenades on veteran in general since you get one every minute anyway. i prefer to keep TFD with serrated blade because of the fantastic bleed stacks. i will examine the speed difference between taking it and not taking it.

#

thank you for your input 🙇

heavy rover
#

Yeah, Tunnel Vision or Long Range Assassin are good options. I personally like running Long Range Assassin for more breathing room to keep stacks up

#

You can also swap the mk III helbore perks to carapace and unyielding. I also run the mk III on havoc 40's and have no issue with flak and maniac breakpoints

honest quiver
#

honestly if tunnel vision cooks, i'd rather drop out for blood for it

heavy rover
#

Yeah, good point on TFD and serrated. You won't be as reliant on shredders

#

With the mk III helbore and marksman focus you'll be popping off heads like no tomorrow, no harm with going for tunnel vision

honest quiver
#

i think i will swap O4B with tunnel vision

heavy rover
#

Yeah, give that a try

#

You've got a lot of toughness regen nodes like superiority complex and exhilarating takedown for your helbore. Tunnel vision helps you lean more into the power of the helbore

honest quiver
#

i feel like no one has yet read the descriptions

#

i try to put some funnies in there

heavy rover
#

Oh woops I'm on mobile, screen cut off the description lol. I'll give it a read

hollow ibex
#

Helbore without shock trooper feels pretty shit ngl

honest quiver
#

with the mk V ammo was never ever a problem

#

with the other marks... maybe?? i still never have an issue with it

hollow ibex
#

It sucks ass

honest quiver
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

if you're using the mk IV i definitely see why you'd want it

hollow ibex
#

Esp since Helbore gets a 12 round mag

#

Prob fine if you’re mostly in melee

honest quiver
#

nope

hollow ibex
#

But I just wouldn’t use helbore if I’m meleeing a lot

honest quiver
#

well that's just out of scope for these specific guides

#

just kriegsman larping

hollow ibex
#

Yeah idk I guess you don’t care about gun uptime that much

#

I do

honest quiver
#

that's nice

#

in this case it may work out

#

i'll give it a shot when the game's working again

void dragon
hollow ibex
#

Which bro said he’s not doing

So he’s just gimping himself with WS for the larp 🤷

honest quiver
#

if i use that stupid talent will you be happy and stop being rude!!

#

i literally said i would try it out

void dragon
honest quiver
#

the ammo pool is very good idk wtf he's on about

void dragon
#

if it didnt influence ammo on mag it would be a dump stat

honest quiver
#

but apparently if you're not using shock trooper you're just bad at the game

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

i guess i'm bad!!

void dragon
#

shock tropper increases the uptime of your gunnning

honest quiver
#

i never have an issue with ammo or uptime but i must be bad

like i get it

you reload less

i understand where he is coming from

my god

deep bone
#

Bruh let the guy play the game how they want damn

mortal aspen
#

no you don't understand

#

YOU HAVE MORE SHOTS AND RELOAD LESS

void dragon
#

in the heavier variants is more important, but even on mk5 reloading less because you have more crits done is a big dps increase

honest quiver
#

i'm sitting here telling you that i am going to use it and see if i like it

how do I reech this keed

why aren't you taking Demo team?

deep bone

I don’t use the Helbore specifically cause I don’t want to then run the krieger gear because in my head I can’t justify using it without running the gear

because he is crazy
