Mid asf
Only saving grace is getting two must-take blessings
Aw man, really?
I've heard IRL shovels make a remarkably effective weapon if they're built well.
you're a vet so you have access to smoke grenades
those pretty much disable the ranged twin's AI
Wait we can change grenade?
have you not accessed the talent menu
I have, following a guide
Yeah in-game they have mid cleave and only good single-target damage thanks to being able to run uncanny and decimator at the same time
And you didn't notice the fourth row on the talent tree lets you change your blitz? Very odd.
Ah I have got shredder grenade
because the base damage numbers are not great
one of the choices you get to make is which grenade you get to use
shredder frags (an upgrade of your base grenade)
kraks (anti-armor)
and smokes
Anyway, yeah, shredder is good against chaff, smoke disables ranged units, krak grenades obliterate armored enemies.
(I'm not being hyperbolic in the slightest, krak grenades deal insane damage but have very high damage falloff)
I remember krak grenade from SM2 😆
Yeah I may have exaggerated a bit my b
i want shovel buffs
Fr
Also how do you guys get better rarity weapon?
I agree
consecrate them at hadron
im on Ill need your friend code
Once you unlock Hadron, you can speak with her to consecrate your weapons.
Be warned she's a bit of a bitch but at least she's mostly professional
Ok, it's 893015331
i will stand for NO hadron slander in this household
is voice of command still good ?
Alright I'll try that
idk i havent played for a long time xd
it says the code is not long enough lol
Yes. Free toughness regen, knocks enemies away, can give gold toughness and can even pick up knocked down allies (though that increases its cooldown)
Wait let me see 😆
Ok send me yours cuz it's the same
VoC still cracked and infiltrate still gets mogged by it but they made exe stance better and it now works with hybrid builds
2761964179
are those weapon still good ?
Chainsword has unfortunately been mid for a long time
mmmh so what weapon should i get ?
run power sword 6 if you want the best
Huh it's not showing any name. You can try the profile name, it's LordBeerus
is that your steam? or the game
Steam name
For plasma:
- you want to dump charge rate (the perfect roll of 69 thermal resist and 71 charge rate is nearly impossible to roll)
- perks are flak and either unarmored (for dreg bomber 1hs) or maniac
- blessings are gets hot and rising heat
nvm im dumb
are we allowed to post link ?
yea
lol
oh were those numbers your steam code lol, I meant the ingame one
this ?
Nah you're not dumb you're just coming back from a tour behind the front lines
anyone got a good infantry lasgun build?
😆 now I get it
I sent my invite anyway on steam
Done
when is this build finally going to be good 😭
Just so you know, helbore is just a better infantry lasgun. It's more powerful and cheaper
I'm using this build
Is it good?
nice profile pic lol
It's mid but no longer the running gag here on the server
do you have a link for a build ?
Plasma and power sword build from our lord and savior path.exe
Let's GOOO
What weapons
hi path
I already sent him your plasma + power sword build lol my b
Vet build is usually some variation of this

U can drop right side’s 25 TGH as well, situationally
hopefully you didn't make any further tweaks I missed
Arbites looks something from Judge Dredd
Also grenade tinkerer isn't necessary outside of havoc
ok and how do you roll weapon again
Buy from brunt
go to the armory and hit brunts armory
Go to armory exchange, buy from brunt’s armory the weapon u want
Until u get stat roll (max potential) the way u want
Favourite the one u wanted
Sell the rest
Go to hadron
Consecrate x4
Change perks and blessings first
Then empower to 500
Hey path, unrelated question: for columnus mk8 iag, what blessings/perks? Same as vraks?
Same
how does potential works again
smth like this ?
As you consecrate a weapon, the five yellow stat bars increase until their max (denoted by the second percentage in the brackets and the faded yellow bar)
For power sword you want to dump cleave targets
Sadly not cleave damage
so this ?
what would people say are the current "meta" builds, after the hivescum update?
not that i care about meta but i wonder whats up there
currently thinking of various cool builds
Same as before as far as I know:
how long ago was before? how many months
Before being days before hivescum dropped
i mean what update was it before hivescum? i forgot
1.9 released September 23
Was titled "Bound by Duty"
probably yeah
One of the effects of leveling up mastery is earning more blessing points, which can be spent to unlock and upgrade blessings for a specific weapon
I'm guessing you have blessing points unlocked but just haven't used them
oh so i ahve to play with it i remember now
yeah
didnt we use to gamble before tho ?
Yes thankfully that's gone
u want cleave targets at 60% max
@proud jolt thx for the run
pink got those navi proportions
What do the event shrines do besides summoning bosses?
Do they progress the event tiers faster?
is it me or us thge shock maul like, super good.
its really good
decent damage across the board with a minor weakness to unyielding
amazing stagger too
with the 2nd best blessing in the game
Skullcrusher
why navi are like thast?
Would it not make sense for them to take smaller people?
same as for tanks
Do people use shock maul in havoc? I mostly see vets with combat knives, or some sort of rending build with chain swords or whatever
I do
Usually it’s the same invincible vet combat blade and krak spam or rapier boss builds. Idk
I am very much out of the loop, don’t destroy me with facts and logic lol
Is there any teir list or whatever on blessings or is there a “this is a shock maul use it” build
I imagine it’s all flexible tho. Since havoc has infected armour and once that’s rotated out Kraks won’t be as used
Skullcrusher + hammerblow
for talents its a versatile weapon
doenst need any talents to perform different
so true
Considering the extra monstrosities in havoc
You better bring kraks if you're running Shock Maul
Because Shock Maul against monstrosities is 💀
chat is this good ?
wait lol my actual build has it
pros would look at my build and cry
same i feel like but i enjoy it and do good with it
GIVE THEM THE OLD KARSKING DOUBLE TAP
It's pretty good but a few subs I'd make:
- replace a toughness curio with 1 health curio
- replace longshot with one motion
- switch field improv for superiority complex
You can also regain some talent points to spend more efficiently elsewhere
- out for blood isn't necessary, you already have enough toughness regain and on your toes is better for that anyways
- always prepared isn't necessary if you've got the hang of plasma
- grenadier isn't too helpful for kraks
- if you're not playing havoc, you don't need grenade tinkerer either
That just makes it good against ragers and crushers right? Doesn’t perform any different with hordes at all? Get has like a bunch of kraks
not many ways to improve horde clear outside the obvious attack speed increase from talents
Shredder nades help
@primal zealot With the 3 points saved from out for blood, always prepared, and grenadier, you can get precision strikes and agile engagement
I’m just wondering how to improve the shock maul better ig
Is there anyway to make it super mega good, outside ig swing speed
Celerity stim would be goated I imagine
As well as maybe red stim
shock maul is just peak mid tbh. not much can be done about it
Peak mid?
would say it's a bit below mid tbh
Agreed tbh
So like what are the best vet melee?
Power Sword
i value melees that have actual unyielding damage
The shock maul felt better to use than the knife does, for me ig
Power sword and its not even close
knife has like 0 horde control
so maybe that's why
I mean yeah for boss damage maybe
And horde clear
psword is extremely good at everything
And adm
Idk I felt knife was really good with hoards, mainly for its swing speed.
boss damage, mixed hordes, elites
well it's terrible at dodging
that's the one bad thing
Knife is nowehere close to horde clear of power sword
the horde clear is good, but you don't stagger them
Power Sword removes everything infront of me
Boss? Gone
Horde? Gone
Crushers? 2 tapped.
Maybe I haven’t yet expierence what it feels like to be rushed by like, 20 crushers yet
I usually rock with knife but recently I wanted to get all penances done on my vet, and all masteries done
I have 1 penance left to go on vet
If you like knife you might like Tac Axe tbh
It feels like a knife but better for hordes
I mean mayhe, I just used to rock knife since I mainly stuck with like, 1 particular build with stub revolver and knife. Felt pretty speedy
Unc had a darktide video with it, its nuts, its like a wall of metal
HOLY SHIT IM PROMOTED TO CONVICT
WOAH
i can finally show my pics
Absolutely love whenever the portraits glitch out because this is all I can see
what's a good vet build for if you cba to tag specialists?
does knife rly need trench fighter tho ?
Without trench fighter it def doesn't feel as good as compromises your dps
personal opinion switch the vets smoke grenades out for the rad grenades
Honestly I’ve been running the knife lately and I really enjoy it
It is still one of the strongest non class specific weapon.
Yeah, I know it’s a bit of an odd way of playing with it, but I run uncanny strike and then the blessing that gives you strength on weak spot hit-I figure that since strength gives you cleave, that will help with horde clear since I’m using the mark that has the horizontal slash on heavy 2. It seems to work quite well honestly
I’m not saying it’s “meta” or recommending it necessarily, it’s just something I’m trying out. I played with the power sword for a long time but the dodge is rough, even with 80 mobility
I like the shock maul a lot, actually. It has something like 95% damage into carapace, and with thrust the horde clear is quite good. Light/heavy alternating gives you a nice side to side sweep
Why? I’m not gonna lie, it gets a bit irritating coming on here and having people say “X is mid” and then just not elaborating on it
thats what im saying shit doesnt make any sense
Darktide is mid 😎
and for the mase to be super good at killing crushers and carapace then like, why is it mid teir
the horde clear is mid, the single target is mid, the unyielding damage is horrid
i swear people look at a weapon and be like "erm, this doesnt kill literally everything in the game, mid."
your mom is mid
"this weapon doesnt kill nurgle and give me a orgasum in the same combo, weapon mid"
By comparison to other options available its mid
Like
How else are you supposed to quantify what's good and what isn't?
sorry but calling the smaul mid is like the least controversial opinion to have on this server
How so?
Quantify it
.
it's not something i have to explain
You already got your answer
bruh
most people just know lol
The single target seems fine, honestly
it's passable
It is fine, serviceable.
until unyielding shows up
That doesn't make it great.
Why not? Someone asked you a question, explain your answer. I don’t think that’s unreasonable
i elaborated above
didn't i?
sometimes people don't care why something is mid
they just w ant the strognest weapon
You did, yeah. Thank you, that’s all I’m asking for
so if i tell them something is mid, they just move on
if you want to quantify it, go grab that datatide mod that reginald uses and get data to compare weapons at your skill level
some of these people have the communications skills of a rock
Use what you like and figure things out for yourself. That’s what I’ve been doing and I’ve been having a great time with this game. If you want the super meta combination, run the plasma gun and the dueling sword. People will optimize all the fun out of a game, I swear
Guys, its mid, not bad
chill out
You’re right, honestly, I don’t know why I bothered asking
i don't get the weird hostility over this lol
Ask question
then again, i've seen people make weapons like the smaul, chaxe, chord, etc, work so 🤷
It’s not the answer ffs. It’s the condescension and refusal to explain reasoning

yeah there's freaks making even the shovel work 
Cept you got an explanation.
would you say the shovel is mid? 👀
prob a bit above average
but i'm biased
i really hate melee with poor unyielding
Shovel defo better than at least shock maul
a lot of people just like shovel for the THUNK
yeah definitely
It's not Power Sword tho, the metric by which all things are measured
mk3 shovel my beloved
Sirosky gave a half sentence description that boiled down to “it’s bad against one kind of enemy and mid against anything else.”
No numbers, no metrics, no nothing. Sorry, but I’ll pass.
I’m done, fuck this. I have no idea why I even bothered asking
like i said, brains as smooth as a whetstone
what
I’m going to go actually play the fucking game
cunt
No, you fuck off, dickhead
like all of this was totally uncalled for
you wanted an assessment on how a weapon performs
i gave it to you
Buh-bye, cocksucker
i'm not going to have this shit memorized off the top of my head
real tbh
and then we have this cunt right here adding nothing to the conversation except insults
Dude, you expected him to have an excel spreadsheet ready with testing methodologies and shit?
actual NPC behavior lol

Regrettably you're gonna have to try harder than that to bait me man, unlike you who I can just say "ask question, get answer, get angry about answer" to
That’s what a true veteran would do
"erm, mid not as good as powersword" and you wanna call me an npc lmao
Fucking imposters
thats fine, whatever

am i wrong?
on any of those accounts?
Thats why you keep typing
@fierce arch is a NPC ✅
shock maul is mid ✅
PS is better than shock maul ✅
looks like i'm right on all three accounts
everything checks out
The game has the numbers of its damage in game, just go to the weapon and look at its numbers
except i did
and you were still being a dickwad for no discernible reason
other than the fact that you couldn't handle the truth
that smaul is mid af
grow up
I have unlocked all the penances for veteran, lets goooo
incredible, that much time on vet, still totally clueless.
Fuck kinda crash out did I miss in here
redditpill behaviour
Lmao
two guys coping when i told them smaul was mid
It’s unfortunately mid
Yup
and didn't immediately have an excel sheet with ttk statistics to present to them
who tf is coping lmao
and explain why the smaul is mid
bro i didnt even ask for any statistics that was the other guy
no you didn't ask for anything. you were just slinging insults the entire time
stop throthing at the mouth over this discord and "chill out" lmao
when i responded to the other guy
says the guy who stooped to mudslinging right off the bat lol
don't dish it if you can't take it
actually pathetic
bro i took it fine, you're the one arguing over it
🪞
you took it fine, as in you started immediately using insults for no reason
i feel bad for all the people around you
Seething so hard they can't even type right
anyway, I want this fit anyone else
i wasn't even talking to him and he just starts insulting me for answering the guy that asked the question 
Id take that big ass sword tbh
isnt that just a powersword
heavy power falchion 
I got the actual steel legion cosmetics (not the bum fit they made shortly after the game's release) so I'm all set
Can we collectively gaslight everyone into thinking the Tac Axe is bad again
Thanks
Two handed at the very least.
We only have a small PS.
its got that thing on the middle isnt that a powersword
You don't have to tbh, Tac Axe is a kinda special snowflake weapon.
i have the steel legion fit aswell
Is the fuckin snake eater remake locked to 60 fps
only perfectionist thinks that

You’d be surprised
Most likely, yeah.
Impeccable taste good sir
honestly after seeing a vet drop a high specialist kill count with a shredder autopistol I don't know what the fuck is good or bad anymore, or what those two words even mean. let alone mid or mediocre
SAP's good
mini vraks
Its better than Smaul 
I remember when SAP was literally the best gun in the game tbh
my favorite fit is I have an cadian gaurd armor
Way fucking better than Smaul
The only things good or bad are players
Nah man the devils claw is defacto bad
It’s weird because it seems bad but when you learn how to use the Tac Axe it can pull Rashad level bullshit
mk 7's ok
Ain't no redeeming qualities on that mf
usable at least
Unless you’re Hive Scum
With Rampage Adren
Then it goes from shit to actually playable
Hive Scum with so much rending it forces DC into viability
tbf that's one of those combos that can make any melee weapon in the game work lol
hell adren even by itself
Nukes H40 bosses
is very powerful
Teehee
idk, i feel like mentioning rampage is weird because rampage has alot of bugs with it. like some of your talents arent even triggering when they're supposed to with rampage
When it had a niche as a parry stick I'd have agreed but they gave that to DS
hivescum is one of those "wait and see" classes rn, at least when fatshark gets back from holiday vacay
Yeah, I'm saying that it's not unique anymore and that was the use case for it
Hive scum is incredibly good rn
Dclaw my beloved
HS is unironically incredible
ehhh...
It’s just balanced out by the filter known as
heavy sword?
Survivability via movement
You don't have to believe me but I've been playing tide games since vt1
Hive Scum
Scum is genuinely incredible if you know how to move.
ah aight
Honestly I’m gonna say HSw for Heavy Sword
yeah obv but thats not all the problems with it
https://youtu.be/iuHBgwdZq3U?si=LnZu3CAzAQRKuqNs vibing to this rn
In life, war. In death, peace. Pick up your shovel, Guardsman. This is an anthem for the resolute, the self-sacrificing, the unbreakable soldiers of the Death Korps of Krieg.
This track is a tribute to the humble entrenching tool, the most trusted companion of every soldier from the penitent world of Krieg. A rhythmic and percussive march, the ...
Hive scum is giga busted in a good player’s hands. In the average player’s hands , you’re floor POV
It's perfect
it really is, I've been avoiding the scum chat because just so many bad, horrible takes on the class there
What blessings for Vraks IAG?
With the weapon
i still need to try that
THATS BAD AT CARAPACE
Gotta be like top 10-20% to play HS tbh skill wise
lmao
Fatshark managed the impossible, they made a dlc class that actually requires you to play the game
dumdum fire frenzy i'd say
Never before seen
dumdum fire frenzy
Pre-Buff psyker
dude im so happy i got all the penances with vet
If you played pre buff psyker you can probably play HS
Thank you, and what perks would you recommend?
unyielding + crit chance
Psyker was my main for a long time until Arbites
Hive Scum is the "Let him cook" class: Its either doggypose or John Woo movie protagonist
Then now HS is my new main
Holy truth nuke
flak or unyielding and crit chance
they prob should've led with HIV
Nah tbh
Nah
I like watching the arb mains get skill diffed
dumdum and deathspitter
I like unyielding and crit chance more
starting with arbites conditioned a lot of people to play like morons
It would have been badly balanced if they had it at start
Basically if you’re used to having your HP get nuked from one mess up then yeah youll like it but the class is incredible
Ogryn with Mobility
This was bound to happen
this implies that fatshart learns from their mistakes...
okay so for me, despite being an arbi main, I have been no diffing AMs on scumbag with barely any issue
I mean I feel like all the classes in a good spot now tbh
Or silent gods
Well god bless you in particular man cause that's a rarity.
ehhhh
Nothing in between
it seems so
Appreciate the help, thank you everyone.
ngl tho I did have a bumpy ride with leveling the class lmao
I think that’s a common thing ppl had with scumbag tho regardless of class background
Was smooth for me. My leveling experience went from “hanging in the back then hanging in the middle then being the very front now”
Can someone give me a reliable tier list for ranged weapons?
I also maxed out my weapons at level 1 so that helped
There are very few bad ones depending on your build.
I've got a Focus Target type skilltree. Just wanted to know what ranged guns people are using meta wise
Helbore(variant up to taste) and Plasma are real standard good weapons tbh.
Combat Shotgun on vet is great, I like it with weapon specialist or focus target.
Revolver(aim down sights not hipfire) is great on vet rn
Vigilants…
helbore smacks, love it
You've got the ever consistent Vraks IAG
3 round burst vigilant autogun is goated atm
They require specific talents however but are incredible if you can aim at heads
I never cared for any of the autoguns
is the Helbore Lasgun a full auto? I saw its mag capacity and was like "that can't be right for a semi automatic gun" but it looks like a ww1 weapon
Columnus III Vigilant Autogun
There’s also Graia VII
Its a charge single shot like plasma
no it has charge up shots and hits hard more like a musket
and Agrippinna IX
that sounds really nice actually
I might try that
do
I'm stuck between the plasma gun and helbore now
it can HIT HARD
Is the best place to save builds, GL? For when the game updates?
Helbore is imo better than plasma if you can aim
If you want something that dumpsters enemies use the Mark IV
I like the plasma gun's feel but it's too chunky for my tastes
you can get shittons of ammo on your helbore the plasma will run out quick and overheats
Sure, I can't think of a better one.
so, is it possible to get an 80 alls for the autopistol? whats the best dumpstat for grinding them
Mobility
I dont know if I wanna do the middle since I cba in tagging enemies all the time for damage bonuses
even for hivescum tho?
so is it like it consumes more ammo the longer you charge
that sounds really fun actually
also it'll fit with my Krieger
Are you talking about scums autopistol or the shredder
Yeah that’s Helbys whole gimmick
the HS dual autopistol
You want to fire charged shots more
cuz I believe helbore is what Kriegers use
Correct
Mobi or Collat, personal preference.
yep
That’s their iconic rifle
coooolll
Is stability the dump stat for helbore?
Iirc yes
Nice
okay I'll max out helbore when I get to it then
me
Anyways for note taking if you want a rifle that’s basically a cannon
alr well i just rolled the "godroll"? from brunt, so neat
I'm gonna grind to damnation and then just power level with karnak twins to 30
I didn't find out how stat spreads worked till the other day but I've just gone and looked at my hellbore and stability is 62%
After playing scum so much I realize now how quick this dude can blow through ammo. I feel like I am always scrounging ammo
@robust herald
Mark IV Helbore
Blessings: Surgical + Weight of Fire
Perks: 25% Carapace + 25% Unyielding
oh this is just a random one lol
carapace???
can it kill carapace?
sabaton just came on, Im so in killing mood
Literally kills everything aside from like bosses and crushers
Yeah it nukes crusher HP on charged headshot lmao
And for those? Glorious power sword.
lol
What's the difference betwee mk3 and mk5?
I was actually thinking about running krieg fit with power sword and helbore lasgun
@robust herald https://youtu.be/FCQd-5eYn2U
how good is the power sword on vet
What's mk5 do then
Sirosky iirc has a charged shot spam build with it
But it’s the worst of the variants
leveling up hivescum makes me really miss playing vet/having a good vet around. killing every disabler before they even get to the team is nice
I like the new power falchion
Its vets best melee weapon by a country mile.
oooh
Yeah
I tried the mk4 for a bit but didn't like its version of the bayonet
ESPECIALLY WITH HELBORE
I'd hope the power sword is the best, it's the power sword
The only thing comparable is like, FGS.
bring something lighter
all krump squads and its a free for all on whose getting trapper netted sometimes
also you get a bayonet
what's the dump again? stability?
Tac Axe, Combat Axe, Shovel, Falchion if you hate yourself like me
Correct
can it cut through trash mobs?
yes
Pop desperado and murder them, idk
awesomeee
The bayonet is very good in a pinch since you don't want to switch off the helbore if you can help it since it's slow to switch back to
alright y'all convinced me
if you hold the button you do a bayonet charge
Wait you can??
playing box because everyone plays desperato and no one has crusher kills
run and hold button
With all marks?
unless i come across someone w zerker + knives
All of them have a bayonet but the mk4 does a weird chop instead of a stabby
In my opinion especially if you’re adjusting to the games movement pick up something neutral or light in movement cause admittedly yes Power Sword is insane but fuck ups are costly on it
I'm pretty comfortable with the game's movement so far I feel
Power sword does have a skill curve to using it tbh
I don't like the power sword
desperado uzis is definitely the most common played scum so you hit crusher/carapace walls and im happy to fill that void
It's janky
It functions a little different to most melees
how so
Its slow and clunky
You gotta turn it on
Where a lot of other melees dodge, PS wants to swing ime
It has a different sort of flow to it
cuz I have lots of experience with FGS
Nah, FGS is way more automatic
You legit have to repower PS every 3 swings
makes sense
I thought it lost the charge after its first swing
what are some good sub outs for PS?
Like the power maul and whatnot
Level 4 Power Cycler is 3 swings
It used to be 7
Those were the days
Shovel is safe and reliable while you're learning tbh.
krieg shovel..
I like the shovel
I've been using rashad and that's been fine
Tac Axe, Shovel (it’s okay not the best nor worst), Combat axe specifically Rashad
It has the same sort of mechanic as power sword but its special is used for different things from the normal attack so you don't really need to spam it as much
Rashad just works
Its one of the most just works weapons in game
hard to use
Rashad is literally
or wtvr
Oh no
Things boring as fuck tho if I'm honest
you just spam heavy and it's easy
It’s one of the easiest to pick up
yeahh
yea
I am partial to the shock maul
It Just Works™
it's kinda boring for me tho tbh
falch's actually ok on some builds
Tac Axe is Rashad but fun
does sound fun...
The best in the game
Taxe
Can also stagger ragers and mutants like the Combat axes
Tac Axe propaganda WILL be spread by me
idk if I'm looking for something super mobile tho
Mobility is good tbh
Helby is a heavy weapon like Plasma
Trust me
Youll want it/appreciate it
That’s my like go too sniper build in Havoc 40
I see
for helbore side arm i go between taxe and falch
I tried plasma a couple times
Helby IV + Tac Axe
It felt like doodoofart
falch's pretty decent as a sidearm
Falchion is potential man
given that you'll be using the gun most of the time
I really hate to say it
so what keystone do you guys like for vet? I think I wanna take the right branch
Meet Potential Melee!
WS>MMF>>FT
Hey
because tagging specials seems like something I cba in doing all the time
lucuis shotgun I WANT
Don’t talk shit about Focus Target
what do you even take FT for lol
i don't have a single build that uses FT at this point
Self + Team buffs
what's WS again
makes sense with a coordinated team
that's the one I was thinking about using
MMF = Marksmen Focus
Even in uncoord
it seems like the justices keystone for arbites but for vet
nah at that point i'd rather run MMF
Tag and forget
It is
Terminal Warrant is actually worse WS
is it good in practice?
it's like they took the best part of WS
you have my attention
WS is literally one of the best Keystones in the game
and chucked it out the window
You get 3 melee kills
Now you have 100% Crit on next kill
And on that ranged kill
that sounds. insane
You get further dodges and faster melee swing speed
It’s encouraging you to embrace how Vet should be played
Which is a true hybrid class of the game
I can confidently say my main gun of choice which was notoriously anemic for a long time even though I made it work
The vigilant autos
Is pretty fucking insane now with WS
hey if anyone wants to krieg up let me know, Ill join you
and finish the tree rework...
what's the dump on helbore?
stability or ammo
my vet's a krieger but I'm on malice atm LOL
I'm considering grinding to damnation and just doing karnak suicide rush to 30
get it done quick along with my masteries
that's what i dump too
i mean ammo's fine
given shocktrooper
but i don't think stability matters at all
What's stability do?
yes
I'm gonna feed you to a squig
glad I was able to grab this
Smelbore
affects recoil, accuracy and maybe weapon sway? i mean none of it is material tho
So unimportant if you're using the one talent that negates all that?
lol
did the devs buff the shredder auto pistol?
i run with ES so yeah
No they added a class that has autopistol but better
so they still havent buffed the auto pistol for the other classes fucking hell
it was buffed
it's usable/decent now
whereas it was literally a bb gun before
The ALMIGHTY Las pistol smacks
I kinda wish we had a regular stubgun equivalent of the dual stubguns
its such a slog to rise up through the difficulties on a new character
They made it a lot easier with the new update
i still have to get up through all of it
Which mark of Tact axe is best to pair with Helby?
VII
Mk 7 is always the way to go rn
mk iv can be quite good, but not on vet
what's a good melee for cleaving thru mixed hordes
I like the good ole chainsword for that
Rashad would work better than tac axe for mixed horde
Tac axe is usually used as the go-to budget melee since you don't need trench fighter
I won't be long till I hit lvl13 anyways
You forgot the mixed in mixed horde lol
I just don't like how slow rashad feels in its lights
Yeah trench fighter is a must have for rashad
Tac axe is still great in a vacuum but compared to rashad it's less potent in a straight brawl
Its main benefit is mobility and saving you a point
So more for ranged focused builds
What ranged weapon are you running btw?
helby
Oh yeah then tac axe will def work
You won't really have to worry much about mixed hordes when you can kill all the armored guys before they reach you
And if you still want more mixed horde clear than what tac axe gives you can run frags
yea idk tho I like my cracks
Fair enough
youve been liking what now?
the fit, was this the version you were refering too
Nah I meant the real steel legion one 
Nah that's the newer version
Yeah the helmet you have on in that pic was originally released alongside the coat you had in the first image and some minor variants of it were made later
The one I posted (which is based on the goated tabletop miniatures) came out a few months before the full set and was rereleased with the set
Haha fair enough, either one mogs krieg lol
guys do you know any good skin to fit with this? im waiting Fshark to take back the black version of Vox
You mean back cosmetic?
yeah
im using the militarum backpack, but still missing something immersive for field operations
this is my favourite look with the new map
rat fit
Would the brownish-yellow pack with the grey bedroll work?
The one you get from Hestia
ye im using that one rn
Oh whoops my b
dw
i use that one with scarf, looks infil OPS af
And I take it you don't have the tan/red vox caster?
The "rust camo" one
Nah it was released in commodore's vestures with the cosmetic set you're wearing in the pic
i've one seen the black vox and green one from the rn shop
too bad i got it now, it is not there rn
that one would be the one ye
damn
why did they separate it?
Ah tragic guess you know what to look for when the shop rotates ig
figured I ask you, what is the main rifle for the steel legion is it the lucius
Nah its the voss
It was purchased separately from the original set, it was just first seen in the same shop rotation. Also the original release for the set had different headgear
i took your pic to remember when i see that on shop again
It's a rapid fire carbine, looks most similar to infantry lasgun 2b
ah yeah i dont like the original, so i put kantrael flack helmet with pointer same color, i though it was fit for the unit
no
My b lol ig its still sold with the bandana then haha
it was a headset and a eye protesic
tried to make a death head, fire or not
thanks for the assistance!
Ofc ofc
Yeah yeah ok it is the same one still then
Unfortunate cause I like helmets a lot more
me too
HOW DO I DROP A PIC
I think u gotta get the Convicts role
Which u get by just talking in the server
It doesn't take too long
yeah the hellbore feels good
Lets go
rougeish recon vet
check dm
Bet bet
@hollow ibex are you the go to guy for everything veteran related?
that's prob @tall torrent
he's the one writing the vet guide
Eh close enough
This is currently what I’m using for my veteran tree and was wanting a few pointers to if I should change anything
what weapons?
Vraks infantry autogun MK V and the chainsword XIIIg
Was using the tax axe like you guys suggested but didn’t feel right
i'd make the following changes
red nodes in general don't do well with infil because of the very long cooldown
get back in the fight is very bad
and basically a never take
reciprocity, skirmisher, and agile engagement are very powerful talents
skirmisher is needed for the krak crusher one-shot on auric/damn
if you don't take tinkerer
though i guess you have bring it down already as well
but skirmisher is one of the strongest talents vet gets
agile engagement is good so i'd still suggest trying to squeeze it in somewhere
tbh in general though, vraks wouldn't be my pick for a WS gun
i'd go revolver, double barrel or maybe even plasma
FT or MMF are better for vraks
this is what i use for a vraks hybrid build
if you want send me a pic through DM, ill post it
Thanks for letting me know I’ll use this build that you suggested @hollow ibex
Soon as I get home from shopping 💀
With the wife 💀
Christmas shopping 
oh yeah my build uses exec stance
infil's in a rough spot, ES is much better overall
though doesn't have the "get out of jail free" aspect that infil has, so be careful about that
How bad of a spot is infiltrate in right now?
And how did it get in such a bad spot
worst vet ult by far
only got small buffs
VOC was always op
ES got major buffs
then the vet cdr talent got nerfed quite a bit
which hurts infil the most, as the talent having the worst cd
infil also doesn't really synergize with much, besides like frag nades
Oof
man that hurts my heart to hear that one of my favourite veteran abilities is the worst in the class 
Oof I see the second half of deadshot is horrible
First half of deadshot is great second half not so good devs should really remove the second half of dead shot
Frag grenades feel like doodoo to use ngl
it can be quite good
just gotta build around it
you need to drop 2 of them if you want to kill things
I wish it worked more like bardin ranger's uly
Like it created a smoke cloud that kept you hifden while inside it
Exec stance fucks but requires much more skill than voc, which is overpowered
I acknowledge its not the best way to run it but I've found that green reconlas and exec stance + weapon specialist is good
The blue reconlas doesnt do enough damage per shot to benefit from exec imo
But it does work
Yknow I thought about it for a bit
I wonder why Infil doesn't have a node or baked in thing where on Infil Kill you get 10% ammo back
I've been thinking about this just because then it would encourage not needing to take Survivalist and if you do take it, it wouldn't be utterly gamebreaking
could be interesting
why cant I change my ability??
70 thermal/ 72 charge rate is good for Plasma, right?
it'd be 68 thermal 72 charge
and yesn't
sometimes it is, sometimes it isnt
gotta test it
68 to 69 thermal and whatever amount of charge speed you can gather
68 to 69 thermal is the breakpoint where you can get an extra shot off from zero heat buildup
and also get two whole shots off after venting heat
69 thermal is definitely safe but 68 thermal can be finicky, thus you should test the plasma gun
Isn't 70 well past that
70 or more is completely fine
Potentially controversial take but I feel this skill should let ally kills refresh the ability as well but maybe at 2.5 seconds instead of the 5 seconds that they player gets\
Make it lower than 2.5 and I think it's ok, think it'll be a tad op even refreshing just half of it on ally kills
but das just me
what's dump stat on plamsa?
Most optimal is 68/69 thermal resistance, 71/72 charge speed, and the rest at 80
Otherwise dump charge speed
ah XD
may I ask why it's optimal?
Lets you get an extra shot off before overheating
what gun does this guy have?? a WOOD FINISH??
who does he think he is
i havent played for a while, is it a fomo skin
After 68/69% there's no extra benefit for further thermal resistance so the rest should go to charge speed to reduce the firing delay
That's jus the normal kantrael mk7
ohhh ive never used it
For good reason 
oh no
Avoid shattering impact blessing as it basically does nothing on plasma as it already has full pen on everything except carapace and even then it's at 90 and above pen
The frame and its many parts are made out of plasteel or imperial steel alloy. The chain and its teeth (the important part) are adamantium
??? carapace is armor type not material
where did you get this idea from
i just assumed seeing as carapace is armor so thought to my self maybe carapace is also a material
The armory exchange?
Just level up in time and buy them
Or use melk coins and hope to get one
