and trying to say that it's good to have HP in case you get hit by a burster
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
Fucktard jimmy blasting a burster with a hellbore while its within 6ft
Burster 100 damage
Vet hp 97.5
Post your ordodockets rn
1 5 percent Hp on my curios
Well when I play havoc my vet has 98 hp so no way I could reach 201 thresshold
If you have my team squads, it is not a question of if, is a question of when
101 sorry lmao
Oh that sounds reasonable
im still waking up
It’s not for 200 threshold
It’s for the 100 threshold to prevent instakill
And no it’s not down
It’s straight death
Wouldn't just having 1 single 5% +hp slot be better than 1 21% hp tho?
Just don't get hit
Because burster close range blast is 50 corruption
again, this does not fix squadmates shooting them
U will just die
When your bubble inferno psyker dies what will you do now toughness defender?
voc
I rarely see bubble nowadays on Havoc anyways
If your squadmates are gunning bursters in friendly range at high havocs you were already lost.
Seeing lots of venting shriek
Start smoking for him I guess?
TBF You're also assuming high havocs.
The player base does actually have like. A spectrum of what they enjoy.
It’s just an insurance pick I don’t see what’s particularly wrong with it
Would a +5% work for that?
Going toughness instead is like 1 extra shot from a gunner u can take
My insurance is being the best player ever.
but it doesn't matter what you pick at anything other than high havocs
you could run with green curios
All the enemies that are going to fuck you are gonna do damage to your health anyways
Feel that HP curio us better for melee builds to avoid that scenarios, and full thougness for the gunner that must clean ranged fodder or specials at distance
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
if we are thinking about optimising a build i am already in the high havoc mindset
Like. If you perform best with it, USE IT.
the whole "meta" conversation sucks
DS still meta after all the nerfs and fixes lolololol
but also you have to have your conversation around an envelope, are you looking for the best thing to slot in or not?
Literally lmfao
if not then you're just talking in circles
I use meta in games as a STARTING POINT of what to explore. There are 100% games I will choose off meta picks because I'm just better with them
It is? I usually like it to figure the highest I can go to figure from there what I want
it's not that deep of a game
people getting shit on for picking certain curios is insane
Guys I know what we need to diversify Darktide
yeah thats kinda crazy
its ok im black im carrying
We clearly need Darktide Versus mode
A new DS mk?
Give it uh, a decade lol
We don’t need trappers sniping crossmap to net someone
I think its important to debate this shit tho cause otherwise i wouldnt know why what im choosing is particularly better
i agree with stinger here
somehow finds a way to glitch people into walls like hookrat does
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
Yeah, it is not so clear what is the actual meta, specially with so many followers of the Games lantern builds
Basically
Health curio for insurance from burster instakill
Toughness curio to take 1 extra shot from gunner
You decide what matters more to u
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.
I managed to glitch someone into a wall my first life as hook rat purely on accident
there was a clip of a trapper pulling someone from a one way drop
so basically the same thing
For vet it's pretty clear IMO, the only thing I'm doubting is skirmisher or the +25 toughness being better
That's all
Why can’t u take both
LOL
Cuz moar good stuff elsewhere
Where
Ergo, there is no clear vision of the meta
My health curios bring me to 233 HP, 115 Toughness lmao
For 1 talent pick the meta is not basically clear?
Hmm
i think there's enough damage in vet tree that skirmisher is not needed
"cuz moar good stuff elsewhere" end quote
i still 1shot mutant in head with poke without skirmisher
Nah this not worth
they buffed vet
I was finding the build :(((
no tf it aint
yeah no i feel like my damage straight doubled
Back in 2024
no i mean like with the last patch
Mega stacking hp while taking less toughness on vet is not the play
The last patch was in 2024
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9f58a4ba-9a0c-4cec-8d03-9f4535122a62/dream-vet-havoc-40
Field improv instead of serrated blade if no Beacon Zealot
Still doubting if skirmisher or 25 toughness better
That's all this is what brings them biggest numbers
wh
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
tf you call the last content update then?
ok
Its been a whole year
Drop marksman and ammo
Ez
tbh at least its not tf2
I'm not dropping ammo when I'm the only one shooting gunners
Marksman destroys everything tho
its been 9 years since the last tf2 major update
My acc with DS headshots is very high

Red nodes’ value went down from CDR nerf
I'm aware but marksman still marksman
And the ammo pick is minuscule in the grand scheme of things
that's not a hard breakpoint to meet, because everything oneshots mutants with a poke to the head
marksmans is not really needed for plasma
Who says it's for plasma
your build...
It's for the DS
And I'm clarifying it's mostly for tHe DS
in body mb
i am aware you are using marksman for DS
question: what to yall bind ping to for FT?
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
T
Wat
the meta changes based on what our game goals are though
like, what's your comp?
do you trust your teammates?
or just listen to whoever says they're the best h40 player in the game
@tall torrent will reconsider ammo but marksman is a must stay tho, it helps shredding bosses so much faster
I wish we could bind ping to multiple keys :c
Also reducing crusher thresshold to only 3 hits with my setup but hehe
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
or have per-class/character keybindings
dog whistle mod's pretty good
Plasma, helbore, bolt pistol, revolver
ya like I want ping bound to T and M2
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
for vet
Snipers? Shotgun
mouse scroll up

Same for special attack
Nah that’s way too steep of a drop lol
I want to be able to ping without ADSing but auto-highlighting what I am at is -real- nice
I have ping bound to MB5
*plasma can hit targets 20+ meters away ? i will try bolt pistol and helbore ty
Long range targets?
Vigilants, Lasgun, Laspistol
Don't underestimate my stupidity mate 
Bolter
Plasma has infinite range as all weapons do
plasma is a crazy sniper that can cleave through anything to get to your target, even if the entire horde is in between you will still kill the gunner with a crit bodyshot
bolt pistol is just revolver with some chest hair
but its great
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
that's why the plasma is meta
i mean i still use revolver on like my zealot because I love how quick the little bastard is but
How to say worse revolver without saying worse revolver 
double barrel shotgun is the best sniper killer
triple barrel
best sniper killer is arbites dog
Feel that Bistol is a more general use than revolver, the reload might not be as bad, but it feels bad for me
When you're on a job interview and they ask you about your weaknesses, so you say strengths that sound like weaknesses:
Lies, it's rock
Yeah, Bolt Pistol is if you want a revolver that does more than quickly pop specials
bolt pistol is my favourite gun in the game
revolver kills crushers
are the new marks on bolt weapons still trash or did they hotfix them
but also who cares revolver
Still trash

it's so fucking delicious when you have puncture and lethal proximity
Yeah, you want bolter to kill stuff like the trappers and flamers, revolver is more anti elite sometimes
They tried to add onto perfection
I wouldn't say its the best gun in the game, but if you asked me to ONLY ever use ONE gun? Bolt Pistol.
(I still laugh at them nerfing bolter ammo)
That being said
(it did nothing)
you smack a horde point blank and stagger them for enough space to drop your shredder grenade
and then pound bleed stacks on the monstrosity
Boltpistol is like the furthest thing apart from “perfection” lol everything about that gun is off
speak for yourself
i wont tolerate that kinda slander
bolts for the bolt god
I like the sound the new bolt guns make if nothing else.
BP is gr8
Most dogshit breakpoint gun ever
pistols for the pistol throne
Shhh it's My beloved bolt pistol, I don't wanna hear your heretic words
Because it feels fun to use and i like the sounds it makes
heresy
They cooked its design into well done
If they relit the candle on the front sight of that one bistol skin it would be s tier again
A moment of silence for the brother who has fallen so far into meta-slavery he has forgotten what it was like to simply have fun.
🙏
f
Boltpistol so ass that upon realizing it was the best sniping gun for arb at launch I was genuinely flabbergasted
f
Let's call us Frank and face the fact that good breakpoint weapons are fun
what's so fucked about the bolt pistol breakpoints man
Yes, but a gun does not need to have good breakpoints to be fun.
on my nades vet built it onetaps gunners head, flamers body, and oneshots all specials
Eeeeeeeeeee I don't know about that... Do you have examples?
Anything you have fun with. It's fun. It's subjective.
I like the bolt pistol because it sounds beefy and looks cool
but it is the next best thing for vet
should have added plasma pistol
its just fun
:/
Should've added melta
But you can have fun on objective events and goals
should have added basilisks
inferno pistol when?
When baneblade
next patch
Heavy flamer please, and a side order of Power fist
so 2031
3040
:l
There’re just way better designed & more fun weapons above it
counterpoint: Bolt pistol
you cannot argue about what is fun
because fun is subjective
why do people glaze that gun so much
cause we find it fun lmao
i like actually hitting the things i'm aiming at personally
the new bolter is really fun ngl
i have it on my zealot, it is cool, but idk
I use revolver on my zealot
not gonna use it on vet........
but i do swap to BP sometimes for the memes
Almost everything is more fun than “I missed the 1 shot by 100 damage”
Lower the difficulty.
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
It can be fun for others
jeez this is getting aggressive
I also don’t rly care what other people are running
Yay
dog g :)
I’m not gonna pretend like it’s well designed because it’s the furthest thing from it
who said it was?
holy shit GTTOD??
other people know that game exists?
Badly designed ≈ not fun to me
got it ty
for my build i chose Mk V because it's the most ammo efficient - 2 shots per, fast charging, bayonet special, etc
Why is MK3 > MK4 for beginners?
mk 4 uses 9 ammo per shot
I -do- like ammo efficiency
im running Mk. XII Recon right now
lemme make sure
IV is the game of “how much do I have to charge it to 1 tap”
3a is 6 on charge ya
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
So
Mk. IIIa for ease of use
Mk. IV for best all around
Mk. V for ammo efficiency?
time to gamble!
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
Casual Helbore W as always
Mk4 is the hardest hitting ranged weapon in the game
But really slow charge and the worst bayonet
i tried to switch back to the mk V from mk IIIa and i got a bluescreen
n e a t
god is telling me something
is it optimal to concencrate whites to greens or blues for sacrifice?
Greens
damn i might use the mk IIIa
I love mk4
V is way faster but that little damage boost is nice
Reapers begone
MK4 is just the "fuck you" cannon right?
Haven't tried it in Havoc against plasma gunners tho
if the MK4 cant delete it nothing can?
Probably yeah
I take it run Surgical + Hotshot for the Lasgun crit build?
Surgical + armorbane
Armorbane because plasma gunner & crusher
got it
Most of the rest don’t matter much
goated?
Meh
Used to run the one that made it recharge faster but yeah armourbane seems better now with them plasma gunners
the 10 stack requirement is a bit steep
The 15% rending payoff isn't enough
on mk4? armorbane is overkill imo
makes sense on mk5/3
It’s alr still
i need my RPM
Question: is that true even on Havocs? Does it need only Exe stance to reach the 2 tap on crushers in that difficulty?
Aside from MMF I mean
IV returns to its rightful throne as a ranged thunder hammer.
Ur not 2 tapping havoc max crushers sorry
It’s just not a good breakpoint to build for
That’s 2 crit headshots with loads of conditional buffs
Maybe not super buffed by modifiers but base ones I was able to, probably should try some mods on them to see the difference
"Ogryn too strong"
x4 times health crushers are spooky
canned laughter
U need to do ~4.9k per shot to 2 tap a havoc crusher
Doesn't sounds that hard

If you hit a 19500 HP crusher for 1950 Dmg or less
Those lines should play
Because that's the condition iirc
VoC is not required anymore
Exe is situationally better
I know I just prefer it
Voc is fine for cc, but not mandatory
Kindred spirit! Hi-five
Exe be like
intended use: ranged dps
actual use: wallhack + toughness/s + stun immunity
VoC/Choir/Taunt/Bubble
I know what I'm about
i just want the wallhacks because like
Also exe fixes power sword’s bug lol
losing a flashlight and also having to charge makes aiming significantly harder
?
If energized attack hits while player is stunned by an enemy attack at the same time, power sword turns off
You get stun immunity
If I run Hellbore I'll probably swap from VoC/FT to Stance/MF
However because exe stance gives stun immunity
yeah i know the bug but had no idea exe fixes it lmfao
Power sword will never turn off
im all for exe meta baby 
The 8 second duration node is so fucken tight
mfw
fatshark's masterplan to nerf voc by not actually nerfing it and just making the cooldown longer and exe stance more fun to use
its a shame you can't copy builds in game

wait til they fuck it up by removing the CD tax/AoE reduction on Only In Death
That's a genius synergy I would never figure, time to give my Exe stance builds a Psword then
Eight seconds of refreshing stun immunity. We love Xstance 2025
what do i talent into for the ES sub-tree?
8 seconds
ETP as well?
fuck is that
Exe rn is basically arb’s EO highlight + passive toughness gain on steroids
oh right
Enhanced Target Priority
no
It’s literally all I use it for
Counter-Fire seems to make the stance actively worse
The ranged damage bonus is a side benefit to help breakpoints to me lol
Ogryn highlight
its so fucken good
so you DONT talent for elite highlight for allies?
I literally meme and run knife + DB with exe stance now
Isnt that built in now?
youll keep your stance up for a medically concerning length of time
No
no
I use counter fire with Mk5 for an anti fodder gunner Infantry lasgun if it was not garbo
mmmh. So if I'm using infantry lasgun no
Agree counterfire feels terrible now
but it might be good for hellbore
All my vet builds rn use exe stance and not for the ranged dps lmao
I'm 8s node on every exe build
Infantry lasgun WISHES it was Mk5 helbore
Disagree, it still feels good but 8s feels significantly better.
why not take both?
U can’t
You can't
Mutually exclusive lockout
Counter fire just feels pointless
tripping
Nix is hacking
mixed C-F and ETP
Unless you struggle to see regular dudes
Ogryn 8s just lets me play full melee vet
not the ally highlight node
Not when the small gunners are flying around surrounding you and shooting you from all directions
But you almost always get the full exe stance cool down duration with the 8s node
It's the bastards-with-guns-be-GONE
yeah i like it for regen
And you don't drop stance because someone shot the chaff unit you were about to headshot
because sometimes there just aren't ogryns to regen off of
so would rather have the flexibility of shooting trash to regen
I just use sheer volume of fire to solve my problems
permanent 10%\s toughness feels pretty good
It regens off any special or elite
like a god damn american
Not just ogryns
yeah for base ES right?
And 8s node
you cant miss if you shove 500 rounds downrange before the zealot can sneeze
yeah idk sometimes doesn't feel like enough
Nah the 8s window to kill a single special/elite is very generous
The counter fire is for the small enemies because those on higher difficulties will become an issue fast
If no oneis hunting them
it's not a single, i usually want to kill multiple to keep it going
and sometimes the game is just sending chaff units
it has no cd
There are sections that the game just sends fodder Nonstop
If u kill 1 elite/special every 8s it never runs out
Also highly recommend the ConstantFov mod so exe stance doesn’t narrow ur fov
that shit is actually so annoying
trying to melee
while having a fucking magnifying glass applied to the screen
@crude wind can we get exe stance to not reduce FOV at least as a game setting please
oh so you dont want the like
I fucking wish
Funny but I actually like it because I have difficulty to aim to small long distance enemies, and never had issues to melee while it happens
Legit hate that
you dont WANT your allies to kill targets highlighted by etp in some situations
Can we have it increase the fov further
Hahahaha
you need the specialist kills to extend duration
all those kills belong to me
Yes
i wanna see the fucking pores on the gunner shooting me from 80 yards
the more allies yoink kills, the less regen i have
elites count too
yeah both
there's enough for everyone
That node I only consider for lights out / vent purge
If they are yours you shall claim them before the unworthy take them
it's just 1 elite every 8s, and the actual CD is more like 20-25, not 30
I use it with a smoke build pretty fun
Honestly, the highlight for team needs some other benefits, I can't see a reason to take it nowadays
can i get a quick example of a left-tree build for ES/MF?
yeah which is why i don't take ally highlight to give them a legs up lol
i have never used any of those
If it made exe refresh from teammates’ kills then yes
I'm supporting my team by shooting those myself
for helbore specifically
thank
That would be busted I reckon
Make it one of those 360° videos
I went Field Improv/Opening Salvo for support/ammo econ on vet instead of trench fighter/serrated, that fine?
Sparkhead must be op, I told you my soul is that worth in this economy
R-Las build obvs
that's fine though i don't think opening salvo is that much value tbh
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
Opening salvo grants crit chance as long as ur ammo exceeds 80% of mag size
So wouldnt that be -real- good with Shock Troop?
Well
it's ok
I don’t think it’s that strong tbh
yeah i don't think it's worth a point
I’d rather take deadshot
i ultimately chose not to take it on helbore
No? Damn. I thought a self-cycling feedback loop that gave crit-chance and ammo econ'd be solid
Deadshot is ok for helbore rn cuz u get 0.5s regen delay for going to shock trooper
its less waiting for surge stacks
how the fuck does deadshot work on infantry las? Genuine quest
whats infantry las's altfire?
the flashlight?
Ads
THATS WHAT IT MEANS BY ALT FIRE?
Yes
What did u think
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
imo take field improv OR serrated blade on a helbore build
Because there’re guns that don’t ads in this game
taking both is a bit of a waste
Here's mine that I run btw. Even though it's VoC there's enough flexibility in the build to swap to ES https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9f3c6424-3c04-4446-9875-2fcdecb5b950/flexible-helbore-havoc
oh my god
yeah no they just straight up call it secondary action
this fills me with an unreasonable amount of rage
smh this is what u get for not reading the glossary first
Because there’s no “aiming down sights” with melee weapon
they could have labeled it ADS/Block or something
Yes
Also don’t take both
Not worth
i mean some weapon weapons don't have ADS or block
wdym both?
they don't have either
Field Improv + Serrated Blade?
If u already have field improv don’t go for serrated
but some weapons have neither
Excuse me that's my job gestures name
what weapon cant ads or block
braced auto guns
Double barrel
a lot of guns don't ADS
THATS CLOSE ENOUGH TO ADSING
thats fair
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)
Holy shit I never thought about that. Sunder on power sword with serrated
Sundae on pord
wait
It’s also team support since ogryn gets DR with bleed and zealot gets crit chance
Oh shit you're right
but if im running deadshot i 100% need a stam curio ya?
Ya
got it
ill swap my stuff out
Enough health to hit the 100 gate and a lil bit more, toughness and stam
I should swap headtaker to decimator on taxe vet
i hate deci i hate deci i hate deci
Decent for bossing
But does take some skill to keep up
okay so on my curios running DR Gunner, +5% Toughness and 12% Stam Regen on 2 of them
any suggestions for Curio 3 perks?
At least 1 Sniper res
thaaaats what i was forgetting
Mutant resist
Sniper/Mutant resist and toughness bump
All bomber resist 😈
mutuant resist 
if i get corner trapped by another fucking tox bomber i just might
If there was poxburster resist I would take that shit in a heartbeat
Plasma + Tox Bomber combo
Box tomber
Wait does gunner resist work on plasma?
that's called corrupt resist
They asked for suggestions
U can’t run same perk on all 3 slots in 1 curio so it’s better to split them across multiple if u want to go for 2/2/2/3 mix
Ofc not
It reduces the corruption you get from the pox bursters, but not the actual damage
Never specified for good suggestions
im probably gonna go Sniper Resist, Corruption Resist, Toughness on curio 3
Nah
because Corruption resist is just "Resist everything that pisses me off in this game"
i mean that's a good portion of the damage tbf
i dont care if its meta i want to make a tox bomber watch as introduce his family to a heavy flamer
tox bombers make me want to become an active terrorist in game
I hate them with every fiber of my being why the fuck is their aoe SO GOD DAMN BIG
yeah no i hated leveling and going around a corner to see 6 gunners just waiting like the casting couch meme
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
Stam / Stam / Corruption
but the stam/stam/stam was because i didnt have a stam curio
stam recovery that is
That's also why like running exhilarated takedown with my helbore build
had that slightly off
I would still take SE over Stamina Regen tbh
Dude the new gunners are crazy 😭
Not a lot of vet melees have a push spam
Shot once and half my health is gone with 3 20% gunner res 💔
Yeah smokes are your best friend. Or kraks if you can stick them on their heads
because they'er doing literally nothing against plasma gunners
I'm always running smokes unless it's havoc with rotten armour or encroaching garden
lmao
I’m dumb
nah it makes sense
has gunner IN THE NAME
one would expect it to work on them
(it does not)
doesn't work vs shotGUNNERs either
they already nerfed them lmao
Especially if there’s more than one
yesterday
Holy shit
I just get shot once and half my body gets blown apart
They still do damage
yeah no i didnt play before their nerf
took a break to play 60 hours of CYBERPUNK
Don't abbreviate cyberpunk
That was a hell of a save
Fucking peak
I got cheated out of romancing Jackie, Takemura -and- Johnny. What did I get in turn? River?
I got fucking scammed.
I KNOW BUT IM BROKE
i have ZERO spoilers
i dont even know if songbird is male/female
Female
it’s like a whole another story
time to uhhh
try ES
it will be scary going in without my panic button
VoC into "run the fuck away" is peak combo
How do you romance an engram
its called being asexual
AI-sexual
THEY REALLY DO\
monky dinking mik
Bilbo from hit movie the hobbit based on hit book the hobbit?
Big if true
which armor set is this?
Wdym by ES
exe stance
Drugs are good for you 
thanks for the info y'all have given me. so much clarity for what to go for in my builds, and alas another worshipper of the iron will cult
yall anyone know the name of the mode that lets you pick mission that arent in the rotation atm?
I've been moving on exclusively to ES tbh
es is crack
holy shit
i popped a combat stim and es and even a crusher just got melted
didnt matter i was using a recon lasgun
dead
i wasnt even aiming at the fucking thing lmao
Is anyone else having issues pulling their grenades or stims?
I've tried rebinding but nothing still.
Yeah just acts like I'm not pressing it when I try to pull the grenade or stim out
PC
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~
np!
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
Well I really appreciate the help, thanks so much!
input needed!! https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0029988-54e1-4fe6-abb8-34248d5fedb3/kriegsman-enjoyer-exec-stance-version
Personally I suggest swapping out rending strikes and your WS side talents to reach shock trooper and extra modifiers for marksman focus
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?
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
I wouldn't recommend switching off trench fighter
Shovels a weapon that actually does strongly benefit from that alone.
Makes it far easier to keep a horde off of you
Hmm yeah that's fair
feel that the bleed benefits them more, since they already have rending the bleed will do more damage on big targets
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 🙇
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
honestly if tunnel vision cooks, i'd rather drop out for blood for it
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
i think i will swap O4B with tunnel vision
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
i feel like no one has yet read the descriptions
i try to put some funnies in there
Oh woops I'm on mobile, screen cut off the description lol. I'll give it a read
Helbore without shock trooper feels pretty shit ngl
with the mk V ammo was never ever a problem
with the other marks... maybe?? i still never have an issue with it
It sucks ass
nope
But I just wouldn’t use helbore if I’m meleeing a lot
that's nice
in this case it may work out
i'll give it a shot when the game's working again
me and me CqC marksman helbore/Rashad: skill issue
I mean none of that solves the uptime or ammo economy, unless you spend most of your time meleeing which I talked about already
Which bro said he’s not doing
So he’s just gimping himself with WS for the larp 🤷
if i use that stupid talent will you be happy and stop being rude!!
i literally said i would try it out
you need to be efficien with shots, and honestly in the ammmo pool of the helbores is quite good if you are shooting crits
the ammo pool is very good idk wtf he's on about
if it didnt influence ammo on mag it would be a dump stat
but apparently if you're not using shock trooper you're just bad at the game
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i guess i'm bad!!
shock tropper increases the uptime of your gunnning
you reload less
i understand where he is coming from
i understand YES
i KNOW
i said i would try it
my god
Bruh let the guy play the game how they want damn
in the heavier variants is more important, but even on mk5 reloading less because you have more crits done is a big dps increase
i'm sitting here telling you that i am going to use it and see if i like it
Jumping him like him not running a perk in a video game is gonna cause half the world to disintegrate lmao
its fine that you LIKE something, but please dont bad mouth an infinite crit machine
who the fuck badmouthed it
did i badmouth it???
did i not explain my reason for not taking it clearly and politely???
woawow@!!

great, i have awakened the heretics 
is there any build discussion that happens here that doesn't devolve into this nonsense
but nah, you didnt, but its not a bad talent to take even on that mk of helbore mate, sorry if i made you feel odd
also languaje
what??
nonsense, this IS the natural development of build discussion in EVERY game
Duck

you can swear in this server.

i know, im pulling your leg (still we shall use restrain to not fall into chaos)
anyway i got the idea, use shock trooper to boost uptime for exec stance, heard loud and clear
why aren't you taking Demo team?
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
And I low-key hate the Death Korp
i poop out a grenade every minute
They are the Ultramarines for the guard
Thats the Cadians.
i lay a grenade egg every minute
yeah, but 60s cd never feels enough
yes but what about second grenade?
Kriegers are so glazed and shoved into my face it bugs me
demo team is a fair swap though
tbh i felt like taking born leader because i didn't take field improv
have to contribute somehow?? ig???
Question: MMF stamina restoration works on melee weakspot kill?
i'm fine with swapping born leader with demo team though
Most krieg fans have no idea they shattered on Vraks, killed their commissars, and retreated
mfw krieg larpers die first every time
Armageddon Steel Legion are cool
Muh unfeeling suicidal krieg machine men
oh my god
Vostroyan are cool
born leader is peak
to be fair, they didn't feel good that morning ;c
Cadians are cool because they are the standard and simple
Veteran contributes with AoE from generating nades, ranged enemy disablers and bombers eraser or with some thoughness, either works imo
Another misconception about the Death Korps. They aren't all suicidal. They will without hesitation sacrifice themselves for the Emperor, but they aren't stupid.
Eleysian Drop Troopers are dope as hell
Yk whos cool?
Exactly
Catachan Jungle Fighters
me :3
Real
Yep
:D
all i wanted was some nice, straightforward feedback like imhelping gave
more like cataCHAD
Savlar Chemdogs are cool
my favorite would be the Maccabians if they had any chance of appearing
but I guess that's just the norm now for IG regiments lol
I like all the guard regiments their all cool
Most kreig fans don't understand the asthetic in the first place bro
I just think Kriegers are kinda overmemed
Nah, ww1 trench warfare
my only issue with Krieg fanboys is when they bring it into games
all of it
literally everyone understands ww1 german trench fighter aesthetic
because 99% of the time they're ass
They have French coats, german helmets, and british masks
i'm feeling targeted
its hard to find some direct answers for the topic of build optimization, i know, have tried a few times for some zealot builds with no success
the Vitae Wombs are also very French
look i put shock trooper on the build
if it helps, sorry
it's on the build
They are ww1 but people are like "ah yes kreig sounds german so they must be german"
shock trooper is on there
Kriegers Functionally use very similar Tactics to WW1 France and England
Where do I say that. Point out please.
My bad I came in here and thought we were just en masse hating krieg
your psychic attacks worked and i'm caving in to your demands
please just give me back my child
brb putting shocktrooper on my plasma build
Sirosky, you took his child?! (was it Astartes material?)
putting shocktrooper on my shredder autopistol
bro i need to look like that dude in the second pic. bro is HUGE
You have what 80 shots? It’s not as high as you think it is
what exactly is the point of this
i'm conceding
you win!!!!
I'm sad the only time I got to see Catachans in a 40k game is DoW2
You wanna see a fuckin funny Catachan dude?
uhhhhhhhh yeaj
technically he didnt because you dont believe it
when you said "uptime" it made my neurons activate
lol is that what this is all about
then again, he wasnt playing that game
(Not my model) His name is Harker and he manhandles a squad heavy bolter
Did I hear WALKING BARRAGE
i was mostly joking - in all seriousness, yeah you're right about uptime
Sounds like its time for a 5th WALKING BARRAGE
just trying to think about what to swap out to grab it
How about an 18th WALKING BARRAGE
goals.
drop Iron Will for it UwU
I love this dude
real predator vibes there
The simple solution is just to melee more
Nurgle told me it would work :3
Esp if you’re running WS
Ever single Catachan named character is the coolest dude ever
nah that's the dude that hunts Predators
@deep bone Their equipment is an ensemble from the equipment of the participants of WW1 in Europe, not just England and France.
i'm not but i think i've heard enough thank you
you and the five other people that told me to use shock trooper
They feel very heavily inspired by 80s action movies
it makes sense!!!
Ye they wear a mix
I mean, they arent?
It’s a cool Aesthetic
Sly Marbo
catachan? more like
To take ST you’re prob gonna have to drop WS anyway unless you want to give up some really nice talents
kittyachan
Catachan are cool
i'm not using WS...
omg his bolter even has payback written on it
god is that what warhammer minis look like??
Yes lmfao
Some of em
Unironically not wearing their Flak Armour is a good idea considering most of the enemies they fight have weapons that ignore Flak
how ugly
Nobody asked you
Oof
Can we keep this civil?
40k fans when you insult their ugly $70 minis
i like the big robot things
those look cool
it is fine to diss the minis of the GW game
the humans all look weird
Big Robot Things?
I really want them to add more veteran skins inspired by the other Regiments
So.. Necrons or T'au?
sure whatever
Tanith First and Only skin please
I want them to not reskin the same skin 40 times over
