Like it needed more weaknesses

serene bough
#

Oh I just realized they nerfed duty and honor

tame lodge
#

Like 10 suppression value or something

void dragon
serene bough
#

Recently ive been using shout for emergency stagger since tac awareness was nerfed

#

Mutant grabbed someone, for example

jolly plinth
#

duty and honor nerfed
Exe gang stay winning

turbid ibex
serene bough
#

Not as easy to spam anymore so it does require some thought on when to use (I agree with this decision l)

void dragon
bold sierra
#

just got a bomb ass game in H40 with infiltrate and bolter, insane boss dmg, lots of team res

serene bough
#

Im trying to do havoc with exe stance helbore now over voc

#

Im not very good at helbore yet

void dragon
slow sky
#

Line up

turbid ibex
surreal rune
#

fair enough

bold sierra
#

w/ a squad that has 0 gold toughness too

serene bough
#

Im not a bolter enjoyed personally

#

I like las weapons, ilas my favorite (rip)

bold sierra
bold sierra
#

with ilas, I was killing reapers in like 3 shots with exec stance and MMF

#

3-4

serene bough
#

Kraks being buffed is really nice to help with armor

#

But... rotten armor

orchid hemlock
bold sierra
#

krak is nice for rotten armor, basically a must tho

serene bough
bold sierra
serene bough
#

Its just not a competitive pick for havoc bc armor elite balls

bold sierra
#

for general gunner/reaper picking and general special killing, and hell, even for horde

#

it's reliable

#

ofc, in H40

serene bough
#

Better flak armor ADM and larger hitbox would be much appreciated

hollow ibex
#

and tone down the stupid recoil

serene bough
#

Sometimes I whiff shots that I cant believe how close they are

midnight wyvern
hollow ibex
#

ilas mk2 can't even fire at full speed at most ranges

midnight wyvern
turbid ibex
calm shard
#

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

turbid ibex
#

also get rid of the useless gimmick of consuming more than one ammo per shot

bold sierra
#

i'm not topping boss dmg with ilas for sure, but always at least 100kish at the end

serene bough
bold sierra
#

thinking of taking VoC with revive shout instead of gold toughness now lol

serene bough
#

Pls don't

bold sierra
#

or both

#

given you cant 100% gold toughness anymore, why not

mortal aspen
#

revive shout is like 2 nerfs in one

turbid ibex
bold sierra
#

lowkey joking

#

I tried revive shout and whenever I need it I never have it

#

so eh

turbid ibex
#

as long as revive shout has the cd and aoe penalties it'll continue being bad

bold sierra
#

I can live with AoE penalty tbh

#

it's not that bad, but the cd tho...oof

serene bough
#

But esp with shout since it nerfs both the radius and the cooldown

bold sierra
#

i hear that

serene bough
#

That being said, revive speed on curios seems to be gaining popularity

#

Im not sure how I feel about that

turbid ibex
#

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

mortal aspen
#

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

turbid ibex
#

its like 1 second of full invulnerability and 3 with a big dr buff

serene bough
#

Revive shout is only good when you rez 2 or 3 people at once

#

Which ofc is a very rare and unlikely scenario

midnight wyvern
faint beacon
#

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

warm schooner
#

it'll be interesting to see what effect it has on havoc

turbid ibex
faint beacon
#

It sadly doesn’t address the nuclear shit too much either seeing they can levy it with a Warp Charge build

hollow ibex
#

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

steep flower
#

not on vet tho; inherit suppression immunity

steep flower
calm shard
#

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

cunning haven
#

game is so buggy today 🙁

turbid ibex
cunning haven
#

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

hollow ibex
#

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

turbid ibex
#

i mean they didnt "proceed" to give it to psyker

#

it was already there before

hollow ibex
#

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

paper salmon
#

My six shot revolver build got nerfed! (It's now 7 shot)

tame lodge
#

DB going from 3 with 15% to 3 with 25%

hollow ibex
turbid ibex
#

what does that even look like when reloading

#

at least with the zarona

midnight wyvern
#

but it was

#

we were talking about suppression doing things because someone said it didn't

#

not that it did on vet

brittle turtle
#

Isnt it kinda insane Covering fire is kinda bonkers but almost no one mentions it ?

paper salmon
faint beacon
#

The warp charge builds literally dngaf about the changes

hollow ibex
#

Ah yes shriek at 15 second cd

#

Perfectly acceptable and balanced

tame lodge
faint beacon
#

I mean cool?

#

But does it actually stagger enemies

tame lodge
#

Huuuuuge pfalch buff

#

🗣️

turbid ibex
tame lodge
#

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

paper salmon
# turbid ibex what does that even look like when reloading

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.

turbid ibex
#

neat

warm schooner
# steep flower none tbh; i can tell ya that

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.

hollow ibex
#

Snipervolver stocks have never been so high

tame lodge
#

I don't know what to picture here

#

😭

trim badger
#

Melee vet still not nerfed

paper salmon
#

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

trim badger
#

Ranged vet not buffed enough

#

Get ya shit done FS

paper salmon
#

Like literally, as my character is closing the cylinder, not adding any more rounds, the HUD is still ticking up from 5-6-7

tame lodge
#

I got 7 more rounds on this 5 rounds revolver

unborn socket
hollow ibex
#

Unless we’re talking about havoc

#

But havoc is a special little boy

unborn socket
#

so yeah most arent

atomic void
#

the day every weapon is havoc viable is the game this game is cooked

tame lodge
#

Weak Aura

#

Every weapon is viable if you have the skills

hollow ibex
#

Balancing around the meme game mode has has absolutely no consequences for the game whatsoever uwugryn

tame lodge
#

(delusional Aura)

#

lol i mean not every thing has to be viable you can make them work as they are

Silly, Pineapples can't game

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

what's the best weapon for melee vet

#

well, weapons

hollow ibex
#

Power sword

silver patrol
#

and revolver?

distant dune
#

Okay because I asked in Zealot and Arbites already. Which Veteran personality is the “nicest”

#

Or just outright the nicest

fair shale
#

Professional

violet yacht
#

nah screw being the nicest

silver patrol
#

professional

violet yacht
#

loose cannon has been EVERYWHERE

#

get the funniest

fair shale
#

Cadian has a soft spot for the Ogryn tho, Loose Cannon is a gigantic asshole but in a good way imo

violet yacht
#

i cant wait until loose cannon starts talking about the necrons

shadow dagger
#

does boltgun collateral do nothing for stagger breakpoints even with havoc modifiers

compact oracle
#

what is taxe mk7's horde clear combo, its moveset scares me

shadow dagger
#

or is the bump to mobility more important

compact oracle
#

push heavy > light, looping?

silver patrol
#

the pinned comments has a guide

compact oracle
#

oh shit

silver patrol
#

for every weapon actually (maybe not the falchion)

#

what power sword mark

bold sierra
#

god you already start to see videos of darktide youtubers complaining about the cd nerf and stuff

tame lodge
bold sierra
tame lodge
#

Havoc wise

#

Helbore and Plasma

hollow ibex
#

Is the good one

faint beacon
#

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

hybrid plover
#

Even if they are scoundrels

silver patrol
#

did they decrease the special effects on an energized swing

hollow ibex
silver patrol
#

yeah

#

compared to 3 years ago

hybrid plover
#

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

tame lodge
#

I don't think it changed

#

If it did, then I wasn't here

slow spade
#

There was a visual reduction patch like 2 weeks after release

#

But that was for Flamer and Purg staff being blindingly white

livid hill
#

Vet mains in shambles

slow spade
#

Vets on suicide watch indeed

willow prairie
#

yeah still have the highest damage in the game

#

they're sure in shambles

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

hybrid plover
livid hill
#

Did the covering fire change matter at all lol

slow spade
#

I wonder if Exec Stance + Born leader is a meme

slow spade
#

Minimum 2% toughness regen team-wide sounds pretty good

livid hill
serene bough
#

How do people feel about covering fire going 3s to 6s

#

Still seems bad

hollow ibex
#

As usual FS making buffs that don’t solve the issue

livid hill
#

Exec stance bolter is probably the best class to play bolter on

livid hill
tame lodge
#

Not timing

hollow ibex
#

It’s really incredible how they keep forgetting the lessons in successful designs

mortal aspen
#

I mean idk, for a DB shotty this could be a decent team buff

hollow ibex
#

And make the same mistakes over and over

livid hill
#

/j

mortal aspen
#

I don't think DB WS needs either Longshot or One Motion

tame lodge
#

So don't go running ahead

serene bough
#

But idk if its worth the point

void dragon
#

is Lock and Load worth using in any case?

mortal aspen
#

again, you're not losing anything

#

because neither longshot nor one motion are that impactful for DB imo

serene bough
#

Fair point

livid hill
#

Also more bolter ammo is genuinely helpful

hollow ibex
#

For revolver sniper builds

#

Idk what else I’d use it for

void dragon
mortal aspen
#

the new bolter could use that 25% increased clip size

hollow ibex
#

Though I’m still tweaking it

#

And trying to figure out what I’d give up for lock and load

mortal aspen
#

Grenadier?

hollow ibex
#

Revolver sniper build lol

hollow ibex
#

That’s a candidate

#

For removal

mortal aspen
#

i mean grenadier is probably not that mandatory for frags

hollow ibex
#

I really like grenadier tho

#

I might try to see if I can get away with dropping SC

I really like you chadgryn

hollow ibex

#

NOOO

red robin
#

Closest thing is the mk6 bolt pistol

livid hill
#

IT CAN BE LIKE AN IMPACT GRENADE

mortal aspen
#

the new bolter is a grenade launcher

#

kind of

red robin
#

With lethal prox

livid hill
#

nnot enough

tame lodge
#

So don't worry

hollow ibex
#

Oh for a new launcher maybe

red robin
#

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

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

I think every single time I've heard Fatalist and Cadian speak its Fatalist roasting the Cadian

does the shout nerf even matter?

Fanatic is one booze away from Khorne berserker role

tzeentch loves to pull this kind of shit

Could be both tbh

shy raft
#

red robin
#

Damn, redirect fire is 10% at 4 stacks, is 6 stack node worth it for the 15%?

shy raft
#

Other voice isn't belongs to his beloved

hybrid plover
#

10% is already a pretty decent bump up.

red robin
hybrid plover
#

And 6 stacks is actually a tad harder to up keep consistently.

shy raft
#

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

Does Deadshot work for the double barrels double shot, or is it like the Plasma?

vivid silo
#

And yeah, 1shotting anything except Crushers and bosses is nuts

calm shard
#

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

crimson mica
#

So, is Fire team worth taking now with the recent buff?

calm shard
#

No :)

#

Unless you are 2nd vet in which case of course

crimson mica
#

Yeah, they should have buffed it to 10 percent to test the waters atleast.

tame lodge
calm shard
#

uh...huh

#

interesting

tame lodge
#

Yuh

#

Arby's not beating the can't kill crushers allegations

calm shard
#

oh that's nice

calm shard
#

might have to keep +flak on my gun build shotgun

tame lodge
#

What

#

Lmfao

calm shard
#

one shot bodyshot maulers on crit

formal ice
tame lodge
#

Because it doesn't have the captions so I can use at anything

calm shard
#

you need skirmisher stacked and full bore active but still

#

you can just rip through mauler doomstacks in seconds with this bad boy

tame lodge
#

Full Bore + crit

#

Are you telling me

#

That Manstopper

#

Can eat through a wave

calm shard
#

That's a GOOD POINT

#

give me one second

tame lodge
#

Of maulers

hybrid plover
#

i been saying for quite some time

#

The combat shotguns are actually unironically good with Manstopper.

calm shard
#

It already one shots fucking everything so it's not like I need no respite

hybrid plover
#

With WS of course.

muted peak
#

What is the dump stat in power falchion?

tame lodge
#

The weapon itself (mobility)

covert shoal
#

mobility is like

#

universally unhelpful

#

because the min mobility is still good enough

calm shard
#

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

steel veldt
#

Ascension via bolt round

calm shard
#

It might do this shit to havoc maulers

#

That is insane

tame lodge
#

That's hilarious

calm shard
#

god it's SO close

#

4167 bodyshot damage into flak is a stupid ass number for a gun with inifnite cleave

violet yacht
#

bro

#

i need that shotgun build

#

im losing braincells watching what thats doing

jade flower
#

So out of curiosity what are you all using in havoc in regards to weapons? Any suggestions?

hollow ibex
midnight wyvern
#

bolter, plasma sword

#

plasma gun is good

#

hellbore good

calm shard
jade flower
#

when you say bolter do you mean the rifle or the pistol?

calm shard
#

Like by a LOT

hollow ibex
calm shard
#

Zarona has a seperate ADS damage profile that has vastly superior crit/weakspot numbers compared to Agri

hollow ibex
#

Interesting

#

What’s the second blessing you’re running?

calm shard
#

Full Bore+manstopper

#

oh actually

#

Agri does about the same damage into flak

#

Loses hard into Unyielding by like several thousand damage tho

jade flower
hollow ibex
midnight wyvern
calm shard
#

oh hang on

#

Agri slug might one shot bodyshot Havoc 40 maulers

#

with exe up

violet yacht
#

whats that exe guardsman build

calm shard
#

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

sharp epoch
#

guys they nerfed shout again

tame lodge
#

Good

#

Still

#

10 seconds is too much

livid hill
steel veldt
steel veldt
covert shoal
tame lodge
#

5 is too little

sharp epoch
#

and in comparison to other classes shout is not up as fast as those abilities which offer better utility

violet yacht
#

how does opening salvo work with shotguns?

steel veldt
tame lodge
#

Idk I don't use chorus

hollow ibex
sharp epoch
steel veldt
#

golden toughness

tame lodge
#

Lasts 10 seconds iirc

calm shard
steel veldt
#

I still prefer shredders tbh

calm shard
#

That I was using for this demonstration anyways

hybrid plover
sharp epoch
#

I'll test out chorus

steel veldt
#

Shout is one time stagger with gold toughness

#

Chorus is like 6 staggers

#

with gold toughness

#

but higher CD

sharp epoch
#

it went from 15 to 10 seconds I think

steel veldt
#

Yeah

#

But he thinks that's not enough

#

I think that's enough Imo

hybrid plover
#

Because Chorus takes way longer to get back.

steel veldt
#

Vet has worse CDR

#

but yeah

hybrid plover
#

Even with the better CDR.

#

Because the baseline cooldown is much higher.

steel veldt
#

I do know, yes.

#

But that's why it's 6 staggers

#

and higher gold toughness

tame lodge
#

Chorus is 60

sharp epoch
#

With the tac awareness nerf shout is realistically 20ish seconds

#

Chorus is probably around 30-35 seconds

calm shard
#

oh wow narrowly 2 shots a havoc 40 crusher with MMF's rending

#

completely impractical and stupid

#

but funny

hybrid plover
#

if anything, this really just points to chorus probably catching a nerf at some point

steel veldt
#

That's why it's double

#

and it lasts like 8 seconds when you channel it

#

not 8

#

I mean like 5

hybrid plover
#

Ye. Meaning Chorus isn't safe probably lol

steel veldt
#

Yeah Chorus is gonna get nerfed 100%

tame lodge
#

Already did

steel veldt
#

Inb4 that Zealot guy on Reddit cries out how Zealot is already catching strays

tame lodge
#

Went from 100 to 75

hybrid plover
#

If they're starting to become this proactive with nerfing golden toughness, it's probably gonna catch another nerf.

steel veldt
#

VoC could not even give gold toughness I'd still use it

hybrid plover
#

Which, honestly. I'm okay with.

steel veldt
#

because of the voice lines

covert shoal
#

...based

#

so real for that actually

steel veldt
#

VoC as Cutthroat just gives me the skill to play the game

#

hearing "FOR CADIA!" envigorates me IRL

bold sierra
#

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

covert shoal
#

i use executioners stance half for the massive buffs and half because it just feels like you shoot better with the funny screen effect

steel veldt
#

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

covert shoal
#

yea

hybrid plover
steel veldt
#

yeah Shout is reactive

covert shoal
steel veldt
#

Chorus is proactive

bold sierra
covert shoal
#

more at 11

hybrid plover
#

Chorus can easily get cancelled out.

bold sierra
#

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

covert shoal
tame lodge
#

Speaking of Cadia

covert shoal
#

inb4 they give ogryn an ability that transfers gained toughness to them

tame lodge
#

Why's "Cadia stands" not a VoC line

hybrid plover
#

Honestly, this just put Exe Stance stocks through the roof.

tame lodge
hybrid plover
#

And good. Because Exe Stance is actually very good.

covert shoal
#

the fact that cadia was A. an option and B. a fucking asteroid belt in the menu

#

totally broke me

tame lodge
calm shard
bold sierra
steel veldt
#

I'd like it

covert shoal
#

btw

hybrid plover

what's the best combat shotgun mark if i'm running executioners stance and ranged focus

calm shard
covert shoal
#

ok then agripinaa which is what i was already using

#

great

calm shard
#

I have also been experimenting with Agri which you can see above and it's...a fascinating gun

#

I'll say that

covert shoal
#

i assume the accatran is a total meme

bold sierra
calm shard
#

Eh actually

covert shoal
#

imagine a PB headshot with full buffs with that thing though

calm shard
#

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

bold sierra
#

I kinda hoped the 25%+ ammo talent brought double-barrel to 4 shots xD, but guess not

covert shoal
#

its so funny

#

you press button, click rager

#

no more rager

#

etc.

hollow ibex
tame lodge
#

So it would round up from 1.somethinghigherthan0 to 2

bold sierra
#

4 extra bolter shots has been VERY nice for me tho

sharp epoch
#

15 > 10 seconds of golden toughness is huge

covert shoal
#

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

sharp epoch
#

It takes like 3 seconds to build a tree 😎

covert shoal
#

much longer to copy one unless you have a picture of the whole thing

bold sierra
#

depending on situations tho, it's nice having chorus when you're trying to push forward through a line of gunners or sth

sharp epoch
covert shoal
#

it makes the enemies head disappear

#

so it just feels fun

sharp epoch
#

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

i have been running power sword combat shotgun

bold sierra
covert shoal

cause its fun

#

and i like it

shy raft
#

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

Anyone got a Pure Cadian Build

shy raft

Arb still has tons of support and best solo class

wild vortex
bold sierra
#

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

wild vortex
#

to say nothing of remote detonation

shy raft
#

dog and shock mines are best support in the game

#

but arby isn't a main damge dealer, he is control guy

amazing damage dealers if built as such

#

Dog whistle mod is one of those mods I feel are a little cheaty for me

shy raft
#

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

sharp epoch
#

I just feel like its one of those mods that play the game for you, like its auto targetting every eligible enemy

calm shard
#

because the reason dog was so overpowered back then was because it was bugged

sharp epoch
#

bleed fully stacked

shy raft
#

It was glorius but yeah

hybrid plover
#

it was annoying

shy raft
#

they nerfed so much that dog build isn't viable in havoc tho

calm shard
#

it was one of the worst states the gameplay has ever been in

bold sierra
#

wha

hybrid plover
#

the game straight up became unplayable for a time because of that stupid bug

calm shard
#

if I am ever playing arbites in havoc it is dog build

bold sierra
#

dog build is very viable in havoc wym

#

still is

shy raft
#

not in 30-40

hybrid plover
calm shard
#

I run full dog build arbites in Havoc as my go to build because micro managing the dog is fun

bold sierra
#

wym

calm shard
#

and it deletes mixed hordes like crazy

bold sierra
#

ive benn dogging it in h40 with ease

wild vortex
bold sierra
#

yes xD

narrow frost
#

imagine if there was a dog solo video

bold sierra
#

tho maybe against rotten armor, u need shock mines but generally dog is amazing still in h40

hybrid plover
#

actually,

sharp epoch
#

I wish they kept the 3 dogsplosions

hybrid plover
#

yes

#

wow

#

hi ainz

#

literal documented proof that dog is viable in h40

bold sierra
#

dog is like the easiest sniper/bomber/net counter ever

#

and gunners/reapers

narrow frost
#

I'm of the mind that there is no dog builds

#

you either take dog or not

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?

distant plaza
#

another class

covert shoal
#

is fireteam worth taking now maybe

distant plaza

ive been having more fun with exe stance recon lasgun tho

#

taking me back to beta days

covert shoal
#

or

#

r

#

or

#

exec stance

#

ranged focus

#

infantry lasgun

frail citrus
#

also a valid option

covert shoal
#

its not actually as bad as people say it is

#

i dont get the hate

frail citrus
#

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

frail citrus
covert shoal
#

do you think fireteam is

frail citrus
#

some people will argue that's been the case for a long time

charred elm
#

I think i saw a support veteran build that looked interesting not sure if its any good though

covert shoal
#

maybe worth taking now

  • 7.5% damage for allies in coherency its uh
#

one of the aura options

#

it used to be +5%

frail citrus
#

i normally swap around some stuff to make it more team focused and to give me free lasgun ammo on crits but its decent

covert shoal
#

or is it still survivalist

frail citrus
narrow widget
covert shoal
#

is survivalist still the pick always

#

and every time

charred elm
frail citrus
#

yes

covert shoal
#

free ammo i guess

narrow widget
frail citrus
#

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

narrow widget
#

movespeed aura 😭

#

its good 😭

frail citrus
hollow ibex
#

Though I agree it’s good

frail citrus
#

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

narrow widget
frail citrus
#

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

calm shard
#

biggest offenders being the Vigilant Autoguns, Laspistol, and Helbore Lasguns

#

what are the best blessings for the agri shotgun

orchid hemlock
calm shard
#

if exe build then manstopper over no respite

hollow ibex
orchid hemlock
#

Isn't manstopper more like a DB blessing anyways?

hollow ibex
#

Yeah though it’s funny on WS cshotties too

hybrid plover
#

btw

#

auric maelstrom is cracked rn

#

and exe stance stocks are through the roof

tepid otter
#

what mod is that again taht shows stats at the end of matches

distant plaza
#

scoreboard

calm shard
#

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!

hollow ibex
#

15 stack MMF?

#

I should try again

calm shard
#

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

tepid otter
#

Are you using the special bullet on the Agri

calm shard
#

Combat Shotgun is actually freakishly strong on exe stance because of Man-Stopper carrying its stupid damage through the entire horde

tepid otter
#

Huh, got a build on it?

calm shard
#

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

hollow ibex
#

Deadshot

#

Hmmmmm

calm shard
#

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"

calm shard
#

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

hollow ibex
#

Yeah I’ll have to try

calm shard
#

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

How to best use smokes?

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

steel veldt
#

Got it thanks

#

What if the enemy stands inside of the smoke?

#

I do need 2000 enemies engulfed in smoke

covert shoal
#

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

hollow ibex
#

Yeah agri is a beast

covert shoal
#

with a burning passion

hollow ibex
covert shoal
#

once by accidenta nd the second because i didnt realize stopping power contributed directly to damage

calm shard
#

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

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

#

Failing that just like take a Helbore with hotshot and shoot vaguely head level into a crowd until it pops

#

Or revolver

steel veldt
#

right?

distant plaza
#

wherever you feel like grinding it out

covert shoal
#

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

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

I usually have the horde dw

I play on Auric

man the smoke penance does not take that long

I just hate not using shredders

And don't feel like using smokes

distant plaza
#

penance chase on fresh permadeath characters?

hybrid plover
#

Use smokes, and run the AoE Bolter.

#

Preferrably with Executioner's Stance

steel veldt
#

why?

hybrid plover
#

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

steel veldt
#

Where do smokes come in?

hybrid plover
#

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 often does it rotate? im new but i've noticed the same skins there for the past week or two

calm shard
#

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

hollow ibex
#

Aren’t scab gunners like 1700

calm shard
#

It's not for them

#

It's for 9 bazillion annoying little fucking gnats with lasguns that come alongside them

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.

Do with boltgun so fckn noice

meager echo
#

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.

distant mural
#

Playing with gold toughness is lame

#

And crutch

meager echo
#

then do it in your own lobby.

#

Most lobbies run gold

distant mural
#

I dont even play havoc anymore

#

I play auric

then why are you concern about what people run in havoc ?

distant mural

playing with talents and blessings is technically also crutch

#

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

distant mural
#

Im not a top 1% expert tho

meager echo
#

then you don't play enough havoc if you think most lobbies don't run gold.

distant mural
#

I think there should be more to havoc then book amd voc

I know most people do

I just think its lame
