Oh I just realized they nerfed duty and honor
Like 10 suppression value or something
Now you shout more for cc? Its still quite valuable
Recently ive been using shout for emergency stagger since tac awareness was nerfed
Mutant grabbed someone, for example
duty and honor nerfed
Exe gang stay winning
gold toughness is still gold toughness
Not as easy to spam anymore so it does require some thought on when to use (I agree with this decision l)
Indeed
just got a bomb ass game in H40 with infiltrate and bolter, insane boss dmg, lots of team res
Im trying to do havoc with exe stance helbore now over voc
Im not very good at helbore yet
Genuinely love the idea of less piss toughness
Line up
100% uptime is not possible anymore yeah
fair enough
i played bolter with exestance on H40, it's pretty damn good
w/ a squad that has 0 gold toughness too
tbh I tried ilas with exec stance at the start of the patch, with marksman focus. Genuine amazing dmg, it's just the armor that's mostly the issue, but nothing krak cant fix
Join the recon side 😈
krak is nice for rotten armor, basically a must tho
In auric you can damage max the ilas and have it 1tap mostly everything that isn't heavily armored
rotten armor is bad for every gun anyway lol
Its just not a competitive pick for havoc bc armor elite balls
i played a lot of ilas be4, I think it's better than people give it credit for, especially for shocktrooper talent.
for general gunner/reaper picking and general special killing, and hell, even for horde
it's reliable
ofc, in H40
Better flak armor ADM and larger hitbox would be much appreciated
and tone down the stupid recoil
Sometimes I whiff shots that I cant believe how close they are
wah
ilas mk2 can't even fire at full speed at most ranges
they were already good against armour lol
true
yeah infantry autogun does basically the same thing
just don't shoot armor with it
both have very high maniacs damage which is where gun builds shine anyways
ilas however does not have good boss damage unlike most other gun build guns
also get rid of the useless gimmick of consuming more than one ammo per shot
infernus helps tho, alot
i'm not topping boss dmg with ilas for sure, but always at least 100kish at the end
Yes I agree but the fuse time, extra nade, and talent tree changes involve far less point tax for using
thinking of taking VoC with revive shout instead of gold toughness now lol
Pls don't
revive shout is like 2 nerfs in one
cause then you'll have even less uptime on it
as long as revive shout has the cd and aoe penalties it'll continue being bad
In general its not advisable to build into abilities or talents that compensate for poor performance of your team
But esp with shout since it nerfs both the radius and the cooldown
i hear that
That being said, revive speed on curios seems to be gaining popularity
Im not sure how I feel about that
imo it just shouldnt have those penalties at all
instead make it so once someone has been shout-revived they cant be revived with it again unless theyre manually revived at least once or die
it already has opportunity cost bc it's a talent
and instant revives are also kinda bad, imo
the player never knows they're about to be revived instantly, that just leads to immediate bonkage
Handmaiden lightspeed revives inside 5 CWs ptsd
you do get protection when youre revived
its like 1 second of full invulnerability and 3 with a big dr buff
Revive shout is only good when you rez 2 or 3 people at once
Which ofc is a very rare and unlikely scenario
mercy group res mentality
Sir a second VoC nerf has hit the Vet Class
Honestly glad the actual issue was addressed but I’m staring at the psyker buffs in disappointment
it'll be interesting to see what effect it has on havoc
psyker was def a net nerf with psykenetic aura
It sadly doesn’t address the nuclear shit too much either seeing they can levy it with a Warp Charge build
CD talents bad
Also gives psyker shit ton of CD in warp charges
Ah yes 45 percent cdr lmfao
As usual psyker is an exception to FS’s game design principles
not on vet tho; inherit suppression immunity
none tbh; i can tell ya that
take Just A Dream out back and shoot it
Nerf Psykinetic's Aura to only apply to the Psyker but put it back to 100%
CDR on warp charges should be an upgrade, at the absolute end of the tree
game is so buggy today 🙁
doesnt it already only apply to the psyker
Beast of Nurgle digest my teammate for eternity until he leave
cursor bugged on screen
couldnt mark any targets at all with focus target
and now spectating players is just blank
It should just be replaced with something else entirely
It’s funny how fatshart has taken the stance that cdr bad
And then proceeds to give psyker 45 percent cdr for playing the game
Least braindead FS moment
Yes yes it was already there
But basically everyone else got their cdr nerfed
Warp charges is prob the single biggest source of cdr and what do they do?
Make it even easier to max out
My six shot revolver build got nerfed! (It's now 7 shot)
Oh yes I’ll need to try revolver sniper again lol
I know
but it was
we were talking about suppression doing things because someone said it didn't
not that it did on vet
big if true
Isnt it kinda insane Covering fire is kinda bonkers but almost no one mentions it ?
With six shot, the last round to be reloaded always reloaded 2. So either that now reloads 3, or another round is added somewhere else in the reload sequence
It’s fixed now boys!

Spit your shit
The warp charge builds literally dngaf about the changes
i mean hot
Maybe the power falchion was the friends we made along the way
....
No, I want my fucking good melee
It’s like yeah it’s nice it has its bugged ranged fixed
But now can you actually tweak it
Thanks
So yeah, the last round magically reloads 3 bullets, just tested it. Shot 3 times, reload, put one round in the cylinder and went from 4 to 7.
Shot 6 times, reloaded. Put 5 rounds in the cylinder and went from 1 to 7.
Shot 7 times, reloaded. Put 5 rounds in the cylinder and went from 0 to 7.
neat
I don't expect it to affect high level havoc players much, but definitely I suspect it will affect players who are playing at the lower levels from what I've seen. The CDR nerfs have had pretty noticeable effects so far.
Snipervolver stocks have never been so high
Does it skip the animation for the extra Bullets?
I don't know what to picture here
😭
Melee vet still not nerfed
The strat might be to use the tactical reload talent. Use only 5 rounds and then reload from the reload speed buff. Animation puts 3 rounds in the chamber, get 5 back. the other 2 rounds are comfort rounds
It just reloads as if the gun still has 5 shots. But it will calculate the magazine size magic magically add numbers to your HUD
Like literally, as my character is closing the cylinder, not adding any more rounds, the HUD is still ticking up from 5-6-7
I got 7 more rounds on this 5 rounds revolver
wish more rifles were viable
Most of them are tbh
Unless we’re talking about havoc
But havoc is a special little boy
havoc is mainly all i play
so yeah most arent
the day every weapon is havoc viable is the game this game is cooked
Balancing around the meme game mode has has absolutely no consequences for the game whatsoever 
lol i mean not every thing has to be viable you can make them work as they are
big if true
Wish I could have a better experience at havoc
Woe, 15 thousand dc/crashes upon ye
Then it gets all the cool modifiers
While you get dog, burster and mutant waves at mael
Yeah
does plasma/psword just use “the build™”?
sounds like a vet problem
He’s good dw
Power sword
and revolver?
Okay because I asked in Zealot and Arbites already. Which Veteran personality is the “nicest”
Or just outright the nicest
Professional
nah screw being the nicest
professional
Cadian has a soft spot for the Ogryn tho, Loose Cannon is a gigantic asshole but in a good way imo
i cant wait until loose cannon starts talking about the necrons
does boltgun collateral do nothing for stagger breakpoints even with havoc modifiers
what is taxe mk7's horde clear combo, its moveset scares me
or is the bump to mobility more important
push heavy > light, looping?
the pinned comments has a guide
oh shit
god you already start to see videos of darktide youtubers complaining about the cd nerf and stuff
Auric Wise Zarona Revolver most likely

Fireteam also got buffed
Idk if that 2.5% extra is gonna help or not
It’s still good if you have basic ammo conservation
Ironically, loose cannon seems be the nicest (towards their team)
Even if they are scoundrels
did they decrease the special effects on an energized swing
Meh imo
Visual effects?
Probably has something to do with them actually having a pretty dire background and experiencing the loss of their fellow soldiers at some point before
There was a visual reduction patch like 2 weeks after release
But that was for Flamer and Purg staff being blindingly white
Vet mains in shambles
Vets on suicide watch indeed
Exec stance + Born Leader is the new Support Vet build UwU
noooo, my crutch is sligtly less absurdly overpowered
😭
i'm switching to zealot, itsover
and now, it's time to use exe stance
Did the covering fire change matter at all lol
I wonder if Exec Stance + Born leader is a meme
LMAO
Minimum 2% toughness regen team-wide sounds pretty good
BASED
Nothing
As usual FS making buffs that don’t solve the issue
Exec stance bolter is probably the best class to play bolter on
Hopefully they realize the issue soon
The issue is that it can't proc on himself
Not timing

Shout this louder so the idiots in the nordics can hear
It’s really incredible how they keep forgetting the lessons in successful designs
I mean idk, for a DB shotty this could be a decent team buff
And make the same mistakes over and over
I don't think DB WS needs either Longshot or One Motion
Just make sure to have your team next to them
So don't go running ahead
Thats what I was thinking
But idk if its worth the point
is Lock and Load worth using in any case?
again, you're not losing anything
because neither longshot nor one motion are that impactful for DB imo
Fair point
I like it because TRIPLE BARREL SHOTGUN
Also more bolter ammo is genuinely helpful
7 shot revolver
For revolver sniper builds
Idk what else I’d use it for
you have one of those? i dont have a revolver build so far
the new bolter could use that 25% increased clip size
Yah
Though I’m still tweaking it
And trying to figure out what I’d give up for lock and load
Grenadier?
Revolver sniper build lol
i mean grenadier is probably not that mandatory for frags
I really like you 
m5
Middle mouse
Trying alt key for d claw
So I get out of the habit of dodging while parry fishing
Inb4 instant death
Ngl
I hope vet gets a little grenade launcher some day bc i really wanna use it alongside his infinite nades
Same
Given the state of rumbler doubt FS will add another one lol
NOOO
Closest thing is the mk6 bolt pistol
IT CAN BE LIKE AN IMPACT GRENADE
With lethal prox
nnot enough
There are going to power falchion it
So don't worry
Oh for a new launcher maybe
All I’m saying, id love to get a power maul type of explosion melee that has a explosion radius blessing
Break grenade vet moreso
its genuinely not half bad
with a bunch of the other toughness generation nodes you can really juice your teams generation
60% toughness replenishment
That personality encountered so much factions that tertium is just a vvacation for them
one day bro is going to start going off about some "freaky robots wearing human skin" as if hes seen necrons
man that new ammo capacity makes so you can shoot 3 bullets of revolver and reload one and get 3 instead
Wh'ch makes sense why they are no longer believe in emperor, depressed, ptsd-ridden unhinged villains
If I had to fight against drukhari in melee, fight against chaos space marines, left for dead in a trench for eeks with drowning in blood, fight against khorne berserkers, I'd be same
What
wait does he actually say drukhari?
i thought it was just aeldar
I’m so fucking upset they just refuse to address the issue with the melee
It’s doodooshit
vet has less survivability than psyker almost
Yeah, drukhari
Wait, 5 shots becomes how many?
nah that's still psyker
Professional encountered enslavers, which makes SM run crying
it's very good actually
Professional also fought with Imperial Fists
Born Leader is genuinely a good node
It is just directly competing with Demo Team.
Which is also a very good node.
7, shoot 3 and you have to reload only one bullet, but on the process you reload 3
Ooo
Ahem
Make a poor version of it, it being rumbler
So a poor version of rumbler
How does 7 shots interact with crucian?
do we have a place to read all the lines
i NEED to start looking into the dumb shit these guardsman have gotten up to
I'm not sure
Loose Cannon had to dig latrines for scions
Professional fragged their comissar
Loose Cannon kileld an innocent soldier over food
Cadian, well, cadian.
last shot gets around 67% crit chance
Nutty
Fatalist and Loose Cannon generally get along cause of their realist views
Judge led a rebellion against with workers and starving people against corrupt imperial officals,
Fatalist my favorite Arb tbh
Agitator killed inccocent women and children and burned a whole hab block
the main draw of born leader is better close order drill consistency
Fanatic is an alcoholic
it doesn't matter pretty much
Fatalist is most sane person on the team
Fanatic is a alcoholic that dosen't even remember their sermons
Maul planning to arrest rogue trader herself
I think every single time I've heard Fatalist and Cadian speak its Fatalist roasting the Cadian
Maul is more insane than judge
Everyone roasts cadian
Maul is an actual sadist
Nah some of the psykers are sympathetic
Watch Loose Cannon + Fanatic Interaction by Galeophobia and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal. Tags: #warhammer40000darktide
Seer's beloved is either a shard of emperor, or a tzeentch demon
Savant cannor control their skills
This is a good one tbh
does the shout nerf even matter?
Professional seeing dreams about Khorne
Fanatic is one booze away from Khorne berserker role
Seer knows about horus heresy too much, knwos about primarchs and canr ecite all the poersonal dialogues mfrom that era
Loner calls the emperor ' cropse-emperor' probably fallen to chaos
Funny, no. It allows more conversative game play for veteran but no.
Seer's beloved is extremely likely to be a part of the Emperor's soul
Given the shit he says
Also can be changer of ways
tzeentch loves to pull this kind of shit
Could be both tbh
seer also dreaming tzeentch's realm
Damn, redirect fire is 10% at 4 stacks, is 6 stack node worth it for the 15%?
He has two voices in his mind, fighting over control.
Other voice isn't belongs to his beloved
Could be, but there's a lot of stuff that 6 stack node competes with.
10% is already a pretty decent bump up.
True, me drooling over 2% and 3% number buffs
And 6 stacks is actually a tad harder to up keep consistently.
Bodyguard killed so manu chaos berserkers that he and his ogryn platoon actuallu defeated and defended a lost position
He got punished for being doom-guy on chaos and ignoring orders
He is very smart, asks about imperial faith and questions emperor's divinity
oh man
zarona combat shotgun special shell can one shot headshot shotgunners on exe stance builds
Bully is too self-aware, to his own good.
with min pellet count
I think it’s like unaware stupidity that wraps around into being genuinely intelligent
https://fximgur.com/a/MO0A3Oz also exe stance shotgun kinda nutzo in general
ignore the fucked up sights I forgot weapon customization mod bad
Does Deadshot work for the double barrels double shot, or is it like the Plasma?
And yeah, 1shotting anything except Crushers and bosses is nuts
I'm astonished that the special shell of all things still one shots shotgunners
has to crit to one shot scab shotgunners because flak
cause the special shells base damage is horrible
So, is Fire team worth taking now with the recent buff?
Yeah, they should have buffed it to 10 percent to test the waters atleast.
Afaik plasma is the only gun that doesn't work with Deadshot
oh that's nice
might have to keep +flak on my gun build shotgun
one shot bodyshot maulers on crit
Why are sending the unoriginal gif
you need skirmisher stacked and full bore active but still
you can just rip through mauler doomstacks in seconds with this bad boy
Of maulers
i been saying for quite some time
The combat shotguns are actually unironically good with Manstopper.
It already one shots fucking everything so it's not like I need no respite
With WS of course.
What is the dump stat in power falchion?
The weapon itself (mobility)
mobility is like
universally unhelpful
because the min mobility is still good enough
all for the low low price of...playing exe vet normally
actually don't need max skirmisher stacks I'm stupid
It barely doesn't one shot without even having exe up xd
Ascension via bolt round
god it's SO close
4167 bodyshot damage into flak is a stupid ass number for a gun with inifnite cleave
So out of curiosity what are you all using in havoc in regards to weapons? Any suggestions?
Why not use agri
Zarona has better damage on crit
when you say bolter do you mean the rifle or the pistol?
Like by a LOT
Hmm
Zarona has a seperate ADS damage profile that has vastly superior crit/weakspot numbers compared to Agri
Full Bore+manstopper
oh actually
Agri does about the same damage into flak
Loses hard into Unyielding by like several thousand damage tho
with the bolter do you use the mkIIb or the MKIII?
2B
Agri does have a much higher rate of fire tho
funny no boss exist weapon
whats that exe guardsman build
IT DOES
Agri combat shotgun's slug shell can one shot bodyshot a havoc 40 mauler
Insane times
You don't even need skirmisher stacked
guys they nerfed shout again
He infused the souls of the local psyker population into that round
The Cutthroat is that based
How much would be balanced?
bro achieved nirvana and then immediately exploded
I think exe might straight up be the best choice now even for melee vet
and in comparison to other classes shout is not up as fast as those abilities which offer better utility
how does opening salvo work with shotguns?
How long does Chorus last again?
Agri is what bistol wished it was lol
The active or the golden toughness?
golden toughness
Lasts 10 seconds iirc
build
That I was using for this demonstration anyways
kraks are crazy good
I'll test out chorus
I mean then why not make Shout last 10 seconds too? Why lower it to 7.5? Shout is comparable to Chorus
Shout is one time stagger with gold toughness
Chorus is like 6 staggers
with gold toughness
but higher CD
it went from 15 to 10 seconds I think
Because Chorus takes way longer to get back.
Because shout is 30 seconds
Chorus is 60
With the tac awareness nerf shout is realistically 20ish seconds
Chorus is probably around 30-35 seconds
oh wow narrowly 2 shots a havoc 40 crusher with MMF's rending
completely impractical and stupid
but funny
if anything, this really just points to chorus probably catching a nerf at some point
But Chorus is more powerful
That's why it's double
and it lasts like 8 seconds when you channel it
not 8
I mean like 5
Ye. Meaning Chorus isn't safe probably lol
Yeah Chorus is gonna get nerfed 100%
Already did
Inb4 that Zealot guy on Reddit cries out how Zealot is already catching strays
Went from 100 to 75
If they're starting to become this proactive with nerfing golden toughness, it's probably gonna catch another nerf.
VoC could not even give gold toughness I'd still use it
Which, honestly. I'm okay with.
because of the voice lines
VoC as Cutthroat just gives me the skill to play the game
hearing "FOR CADIA!" envigorates me IRL
tbh, I dont think chorus is as good as shout, even after tbh, if we're talking about gold toughness. And these days I'm seeing a lot more shroud and chastise than be4. CDR changes do kinda hit chorus quite hard lol, which is good
i use executioners stance half for the massive buffs and half because it just feels like you shoot better with the funny screen effect
I use it because Cutthroat says "Sever the head, the body dies"
And that's so edgy and cringe but also the most badass thing ever
yea
Shout is way more reactive, and that means a lot with the kind of density this game can give.
yeah Shout is reactive
man describes entirety of warhammer
Chorus is proactive
a lot of the times you just pop exec stance for the toughness regen lol
more at 11
Chorus can easily get cancelled out.
so more or less, I think chorus's safe
well, safer than VoC be4, cuz zealot's other abilties are a lot more on par with chorus than vet's with VoC
fortunately your ogryn cant eat your toughness regen yet
Speaking of Cadia
inb4 they give ogryn an ability that transfers gained toughness to them
Why's "Cadia stands" not a VoC line
Honestly, this just put Exe Stance stocks through the roof.

And good. Because Exe Stance is actually very good.
dude when i first booted up the game and was making my vet
the fact that cadia was A. an option and B. a fucking asteroid belt in the menu
totally broke me

straight up a fucking railgun
Exec Stance is still giga high skill ceiling tho I'll say, but it's pretyt viable on Havoc 40. Tho I doubt we'll see much of Exec stance in Havoc, given most players
btw
Running that with counterfire and enhanced in a vent purge
Was the comfiest thing ever.
what's the best combat shotgun mark if i'm running executioners stance and ranged focus
Zarona for boss damage, Agripinaa for general use
I have also been experimenting with Agri which you can see above and it's...a fascinating gun
I'll say that
i assume the accatran is a total meme
yeah I run enhanced with smoke, providing team with smoke-hack for bursters and stuff is very nice
imagine a PB headshot with full buffs with that thing though
It's like...a side grade to double barrel
They have very similar stats
You get more ammo and more consistent ranged damage with the combat shotty over double barrel
But obviously don't have the "fuck that entire direction" alt fire
I kinda hoped the 25%+ ammo talent brought double-barrel to 4 shots xD, but guess not
i love the agri special fire
its so funny
you press button, click rager
no more rager
etc.
Sidegrade in terms of power but very different use case tbh
At least 51%
So it would round up from 1.somethinghigherthan0 to 2
4 extra bolter shots has been VERY nice for me tho
I think chorus is better than shout with this new patch tbh
15 > 10 seconds of golden toughness is huge
yknow what we need
talent tree codes you can copy and paste for sharing and or not having to take like 3 screenshots
that'd be good QOL
It takes like 3 seconds to build a tree 😎
much longer to copy one unless you have a picture of the whole thing
I mean if we're talking about each use then yeah, chorus is better, but given chorus is like 2x cooldown, and I think it having liek what 8s of gold toughness? I think vet's shout is overall better, more readily available still, but not as much as be4
depending on situations tho, it's nice having chorus when you're trying to push forward through a line of gunners or sth
also
I'm talking about overall, with cdr and the effects included. It's much easier to get cdr on zealot to make book 30-35 seconds with either crits or weakspots. For vet, you gotta have a specialist to kill every 3 seconds to get that 15 second cd or its around 20-25 seconds.
When you're fighting a boss or a bunch of armor you can really feel your not really getting cdr, while zealot can easily get it during all situations
Just use the builder site
Tf
is that the Agri shotgun's special ammo?
yes
yea
into havoc 40 maulers
agri funny
chorus better if you play havoc and good teammates
i have been running power sword combat shotgun
I mean I guess, but it's still longer cd, even if you're getting them cdr 24/7 with zealot. I suppose if we're talking fighting a boss in H40, then I suppose zealot can get consistent cdr than vet, but if your team's composition is right, with a decent boss-killer player, bosses ain't gonna last long enough to get close to 2 chorus or VoC uses anyway, so it's whatever imo.
however, it removes you as a damage dealer for 30s
still, op against 4 plaague ogryn and 1000 crusher train with rotten armour
it clutches very well and power fantasy more badass than vey
vet
having empowered by god-emperor himself literally
Yeah, it's one of the best abillities next to bubble and taunt, arb and vet have a lot less support now and shout was only like a half support since it was a single stagger
Anyone got a Pure Cadian Build
Arb still has tons of support and best solo class
Arbi's dog counts as pretty good support IMO. Free special and disabler deletion on autopilot
these days I get a pretty healthy amount of players that run chastise/shroud with Thammer, so bosses havent been an issue when I play vet, or hell I play vet with bolter and kraks most of the times so bosses die pretty quick anyway
to say nothing of remote detonation
dog and shock mines are best support in the game
but arby isn't a main damge dealer, he is control guy
vet and ogryn are
Shock mines are good, but limited. Dog I feel like is just an extension of the player like a ranged weapon not so much support. It's equivalent to throwing knives/plasma
if you set it to ranged-preference, the dog will literally hunt down snipers / bombers / trappers on its own
it's amazing
dog with electro, bleed and brittle are really good if you have a dog whistle mod
wait what dog whistle mod
Dog whistle mod is one of those mods I feel are a little cheaty for me
lets you command doge more easier
so, you ended up with guided missile and massive cc
one time when I was down, dog killed 10-20 gunner alone
in 20-30s
before nerfs, it was divine
removing plague ogryn within 5s
I just feel like its one of those mods that play the game for you, like its auto targetting every eligible enemy
you mean the bug fixes
because the reason dog was so overpowered back then was because it was bugged
bleed fully stacked
It was glorius but yeah
it was annoying
they nerfed so much that dog build isn't viable in havoc tho
it was one of the worst states the gameplay has ever been in
wha
the game straight up became unplayable for a time because of that stupid bug
wow that is some fucking cope holy moly
if I am ever playing arbites in havoc it is dog build
not in 30-40
it is
I run full dog build arbites in Havoc as my go to build because micro managing the dog is fun
wym
and it deletes mixed hordes like crazy
ive benn dogging it in h40 with ease
you could say you've been raw dogging it

yes xD
imagine if there was a dog solo video
tho maybe against rotten armor, u need shock mines but generally dog is amazing still in h40
actually,
I wish they kept the 3 dogsplosions
it can outdamge zellies now so why not, ehehe.
joking before getting roasted
what builds yall run on your vraks?
What I use for Vraks
hey guys im lvl 30 on every other character and starting vet now, what builds would you guys recommend?
another class
is fireteam worth taking now maybe
exec stance combat shotgun

Vet VoC (even tho I said its dead now) is still kinda good
ive been having more fun with exe stance recon lasgun tho
taking me back to beta days
also a valid option
ive been saying for a while now inf lasgun is a good weapon
people just dont want to admit it because its the starting gun
honestly tho i will say, vet is in a much weaker state than what it used to be
do you think fireteam is
some people will argue that's been the case for a long time
I think i saw a support veteran build that looked interesting not sure if its any good though
maybe worth taking now
canh you remind which one that is
if its the squad leader build, yeah it can be good. its a good baseline
- 7.5% damage for allies in coherency its uh
one of the aura options
it used to be +5%
i normally swap around some stuff to make it more team focused and to give me free lasgun ammo on crits but its decent
or is it still survivalist
no no thats fire team
no
no i mean
is survivalist still the pick always
and every time
it was this build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3U32dUIeEw&t=491s
free ammo i guess
movespeed is also good
only because getting free ammo for your team in my opinion is a better perk than extra damage
and will also be the better option
however, because survivalist doesnt stack (unless its the non upgraded version) then I usually swap to fire team
i would still not pick anything over survivalist tho personally
click on the link and the dude immediately says "smoke grenades are the best" lol
yeah this is pretty similar to what i run
but if you pick up a weapon that takes care of crushers you can swap your crap for shredders, which i like more for skirmishing builds because you get so many and they do decent damage over time
smokes are great situationally (as in theyre useless auric and below, havoc good)
yeah situationally they are good
but again, like survivalist i personally wouldnt take them over the other two
i am a big believer that most things in this game are good if you build and use it correctly
It's mostly just that the ilas is outclassed in its niche by several other weapons
biggest offenders being the Vigilant Autoguns, Laspistol, and Helbore Lasguns
back when ilas was meta 😔
is Keep Their Heads Down! worth anything?
Not really since most of the enemies in the game don’t care about suppression
no
most enemies are completely immune to suppression
- any guns that have suppression worth a damn have a fuckton of it and don't need anymore
I disagree
Also I need to get penaces for smoke grenades and kraks. And the movement speed aura, kill me
I'll do them after Zealot 2000 immolation
Mortis Trials it is!
what are the best blessings for the agri shotgun
full bore, no respite
if exe build then manstopper over no respite
Full bore still procs even if you hit multiple targets with manstopper?
Isn't manstopper more like a DB blessing anyways?
Yeah though it’s funny on WS cshotties too
btw
auric maelstrom is cracked rn
and exe stance stocks are through the roof
what mod is that again taht shows stats at the end of matches
scoreboard
no it's just
you one shot literally everything on an exe build with shotgun
and I mean everything
if it isn't a crusher you one shot it
you aren't going to get no respite value
so you might as well make those one shots have infinite cleave
And yes I am including havoc 40
I literally just tested that and it uh
It sure does damage!
yeah
super fucking easy to stack too
just shoot head level into poxboys
Zarona can't one shot bodyshot maulers in Havoc like Agri can
But doesn't have to load special shell to one shot headshot Bulwarks/Reapers
And special shell can mince hordes and shotgunners
Agripinaa special shell one shot bodyshots havoc 40 maulers
And the other 6 havoc 40 maulers behind them too because man stopper is a balanced blessing
Are you using the special bullet on the Agri
Combat Shotgun is actually freakishly strong on exe stance because of Man-Stopper carrying its stupid damage through the entire horde
I was running it like this
Skirmisher isn't necessary for breakpoints it just makes up for damage falloff or bad spread luck
So if you want to drop that for melee attack speed or whatever that's fine
Yes on a semi automatic weapon that relies heavily on crits for its damage
Zarona in particular has what I will now call the "Vraks damage profile"
Thing hits like a freight train on crits
And is a bit mid otherwise
Unlike vraks this gun is semi auto
And not that fast firing
exe crit bodyshot with zarona one shots auric maulers
Hits for like ~4.2K into Havoc 40 ones
Yeah I’ll have to try
yeah 4167
posted a screenshot of testing it into havoc 40 healthpools earlier
Zarona's special shell also one shot headshots dreg shotgunners with minimum pellet count in havoc 40
Scab shotgunners in auric, but they live with 500-ish health in havoc 40
stability
thanks
clandestium glorina is such a fuckin map
i swear its the hardest map in the game
and its only getting to and beyond the first obj
Those Power Falchion buffs, we are so back!!!!! (we are not back)
I love it’s bullshit
take tinkerer for double duration
throw them where you want to be
they block LoS into, out of, and through them
enjoy having 3 better psyker bubbles in your pocket
Oh also if you cannot see through them then you are not standing in them
Got it thanks
What if the enemy stands inside of the smoke?
I do need 2000 enemies engulfed in smoke
did you know that the stagger on the agri spec-ability is so comically high you can shoot a bulwark in the shield once and it'll flinch back
then just ADS it in the face
and onetap
i hate bulwarks so i find the existance of a bulwark fuckeruper to be funny
Yeah agri is a beast

i also spent 2 trancendants worth of consecration resources on nonmaxed shotguns
once by accidenta nd the second because i didnt realize stopping power contributed directly to damage
Zarona is also a bulwark fuckeruper
Minimum pellet count into unyielding for it is 16
So if you clip the top of their bald ass head with it they die instantly
fatshark make your game comprehensible without outside resources challenge
difficulty impossible
https://fximgur.com/a/4YlcDkG also exe stance born leader is hilarious
look at the psyker's toughness here
Trying to do the deadeye penance, kinda annoying me to no end
use laspistol as it will simply not do damage if you don't headshot them
should improve your aim 👍
throw em into the midst of a horde spawn if you don't care about you know, using it as a vet bubble
Used the stub revolver
Failing that just like take a Helbore with hotshot and shoot vaguely head level into a crowd until it pops
Or revolver
seems Mortis will be my friend
right?
wherever you feel like grinding it out
funny tip
if you throw a grenade at a basic grunt the tiny damage tick is occasionally enough to make them flinch
if you hit the in the face
heresy/damnation+ hab dreyko outro sequence is a prime place to rack up the smoke penance
Seems like Mortis should work really good as well, no? They just spawn fucktons of hordes
yeah
mortis also has electric smokes
every 20 sec
which you could get
you might have an easier time setting your region to south africa for 'solo' mortis trials
so you can have the horde all to yourself
man the smoke penance does not take that long
penance chase on fresh permadeath characters?
Here is my propaganda for the day.
Use smokes, and run the AoE Bolter.
Preferrably with Executioner's Stance
why?
AoE bolter can make good work of mixed hordes
Like shredders
And with exe stance, very often will one shot priority targets
At least on Auric
Where do smokes come in?
Not that smokes really "come in"
but if you're doing that penance
AoE Bolter's a decent fill in for what shredders can do.
It's also fun.
How does one get the Death Korps of Krieg skin?
90 damage on AOE

Patiently wait for it to come back in the slop shop
Is that the "Commodore's Vestures" shop?
How often does it rotate? im new but i've noticed the same skins there for the past week or two
Every two weeks
more like ~120
Not an insignificant number considering you regularly see packs of 4-5 gunners
And that amount of damage will kill every basic shooter around them
Aren’t scab gunners like 1700
It's not for them
It's for 9 bazillion annoying little fucking gnats with lasguns that come alongside them
You SHOOT the scab gunners.
The AoE is for the fodder.
When you're full autoing into a mixed horde, you will actually get quite a number of kills
7 shot revolver?
is there any talent that increases skill cooldown?
yooooo
Tactical awareness
i got my 80/80/80/80/60 combat shotty
dumping mobility ofc
Cdr and VoC nerf change nothing. If anything, it only prompts players to revert to using chorus and cycle cooldown to maximize gold uptime.
Still the best way to clear H40s.
Guys I like the chainsaw sword with the swipe shove attack, wich mark is that?
It's so goated
XIIIg
Thank you
I feel like you should have more a lot more damage compared to a book zealot and taunt ogryn, it still works but you cant play as aggressive
I like exe stance a lot more rn
I play it with stuff other than boltgun
Do with boltgun so fckn noice
Playing without gold toughness is exhausting. No one wants to maintain hyper-focused gameplay for 30mins+. Most of the time, you die from being one-shot in H40, not from inadequate toughness regeneration. Since no builds can instantly eliminate the one-shot thread, Gold toughness is mandatory for casual runs.
Wrong
Playing with gold toughness is lame
And crutch
then why are you concern about what people run in havoc ?
Why are you so concerned about people not using gold toughness?
playing with talents and blessings is technically also crutch
None of your business
because if you were good enough you wouldn't need them
That is because this playstyle catter to the casual players. I'm against the idea of changing the game just for top 1% experts.
i'm pretty sure nate's "playing without gold toughness is exhausting" is responding to blubbery's comment about swapping out book zealot for more damage in h40, instead of bath's comment about exe stance
Im not a top 1% expert tho
then you don't play enough havoc if you think most lobbies don't run gold.
