How's the, uh, sapper shovel?

vale nova
#

It's working fine I guess

#

I still need to understand how blessings work

strange crow
#

Only saving grace is getting two must-take blessings

tribal tinsel

Aw man, really?
I've heard IRL shovels make a remarkably effective weapon if they're built well.

narrow widget
#

you're a vet so you have access to smoke grenades
those pretty much disable the ranged twin's AI

#

have you not accessed the talent menu

vale nova
strange crow
hollow ibex
#

the cleave on shovels is ok

#

they're just really dependant on powerful blessings

tribal tinsel
hollow ibex
#

because the base damage numbers are not great

narrow widget
tribal tinsel
# vale nova I have, following a guide

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)

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

go to the armory and hit brunts armory

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

strange crow
#

Hey path, unrelated question: for columnus mk8 iag, what blessings/perks? Same as vraks?

strange crow
#

Bet ty

#

And onslaught prob not worth for it right?

grim dawn
#

smth like this ?

strange crow
# grim dawn 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

grim dawn
#

so this ?

strange crow
#

Yessir

#

U got it

#

fierce arch
#

what would people say are the current "meta" builds, after the hivescum update?

grim dawn
#

what does blessing not available means ?

#

do i need mastery ?

heavy rover
#

probably yeah

strange crow
# grim dawn do i need mastery ?

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

grim dawn
#

oh so i ahve to play with it i remember now

Do they progress the event tiers faster?

fierce arch
#

is it me or us thge shock maul like, super good.

narrow frost
#

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

ocean idol
#

Would it not make sense for them to take smaller people?

#

same as for tanks

fierce arch
# narrow frost its really good

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

narrow frost
#

I do

fierce arch
#

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

fierce arch
# narrow frost I do

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

narrow frost
#

Skullcrusher + hammerblow

#

for talents its a versatile weapon

#

doenst need any talents to perform different

strange crow
# primal zealot chat is this good ?

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

not many ways to improve horde clear outside the obvious attack speed increase from talents

#

Shredder nades help

strange crow
fierce arch
#

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

primal zealot
#

shock maul is just peak mid tbh. not much can be done about it

primal zealot
#

yea its mid

#

its the absolute peak of being mid

#

profoundly mid

hollow ibex

would say it's a bit below mid tbh

fair shale

Agreed tbh

Power Sword

hollow ibex

i value melees that have actual unyielding damage

The shock maul felt better to use than the knife does, for me ig

so maybe that's why

fierce arch

And horde clear

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

personal opinion switch the vets smoke grenades out for the rad grenades

versed mural
remote sonnet
#

It is still one of the strongest non class specific weapon.

versed mural
#

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

thats what im saying shit doesnt make any sense

and for the mase to be super good at killing crushers and carapace then like, why is it mid teir

It is fine, serviceable.

until unyielding shows up

fair shale
#

That doesn't make it great.

hollow ibex
#

then it's fucking garbage

#

unyielding falls into the ST category

versed mural
hollow ibex
#

didn't i?

#

sometimes people don't care why something is mid

they just w ant the strognest weapon

hollow ibex

# fair shale Cept you got an explanation.

Sirosky gave a half sentence description that boiled down to “it’s bad against one kind of enemy and mid against anything else.”

#

and the power sword

leaden condor
ancient path
proud jolt
#

run and hold button

leaden condor
#

With all marks?

ancient path
#

unless i come across someone w zerker + knives

proud jolt
#

not all I think

#

I think one you gun butt

leaden condor
#

All of them have a bayonet but the mk4 does a weird chop instead of a stabby

faint beacon
# robust herald and the power sword

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

robust herald
#

I'm pretty comfortable with the game's movement so far I feel

fair shale
#

Power sword does have a skill curve to using it tbh

leaden condor
#

I don't like the power sword

ancient path
#

desperado uzis is definitely the most common played scum so you hit crusher/carapace walls and im happy to fill that void

leaden condor
#

It's janky

fair shale
#

It functions a little different to most melees

robust herald
#

how so

fair shale
#

Its slow and clunky

fair shale
#

You gotta turn it on

leaden condor
#

The special mechanic is jank

#

You have to constantly be charging it

fair shale
#

Where a lot of other melees dodge, PS wants to swing ime

robust herald
#

is that so..

#

is it like

#

FGS

fair shale
#

It has a different sort of flow to it

robust herald
#

cuz I have lots of experience with FGS

fair shale
#

You legit have to repower PS every 3 swings

robust herald
#

makes sense

leaden condor
#

I thought it lost the charge after its first swing

robust herald
#

what are some good sub outs for PS?

leaden condor
#

Like the power maul and whatnot

fair shale
#

It used to be 7

#

Those were the days

fair shale
robust herald
#

krieg shovel..

leaden condor
#

I like the shovel

robust herald
#

I've been using rashad and that's been fine

faint beacon
leaden condor
#

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

fair shale
#

Rashad just works

robust herald
#

yeah

#

rashad isn't like

fair shale
#

Its one of the most just works weapons in game

robust herald
#

hard to use

faint beacon
#

Rashad is literally

robust herald
#

or wtvr

faint beacon
#

Oh no

fair shale
#

Things boring as fuck tho if I'm honest

robust herald
#

you just spam heavy and it's easy

faint beacon
#

It’s one of the easiest to pick up

robust herald
faint beacon
#

Light spam into hordes

#

Heavy into single targets

#

Push attack if ragers

robust herald
#

yea

leaden condor
#

I am partial to the shock maul

fair shale
#

It Just Works™

robust herald
#

it's kinda boring for me tho tbh

faint beacon
#

Tac Axe is literally what if we took the Rashad

#

Right

hollow ibex
#

falch's actually ok on some builds

faint beacon
#

Made it smaller

#

Deal a bit less damage and have a cleave cap

fair shale
#

Tac Axe is Rashad but fun

faint beacon
#

But give it knife mobility

#

You know

robust herald
#

does sound fun...

faint beacon
#

The best in the game

leaden condor
#

Taxe

faint beacon
#

Can also stagger ragers and mutants like the Combat axes

#

Tac Axe propaganda WILL be spread by me

robust herald
#

idk if I'm looking for something super mobile tho

fair shale
#

Mobility is good tbh

faint beacon
#

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

robust herald
#

I see

hollow ibex
#

for helbore side arm i go between taxe and falch

leaden condor
#

I tried plasma a couple times

faint beacon
#

Helby IV + Tac Axe

leaden condor
#

It felt like doodoofart

hollow ibex
#

falch's pretty decent as a sidearm

faint beacon
#

Falchion is potential man

hollow ibex
#

given that you'll be using the gun most of the time

faint beacon
#

I really hate to say it

robust herald
#

so what keystone do you guys like for vet? I think I wanna take the right branch

faint beacon
#

Meet Potential Melee!

hollow ibex
#

WS>MMF>>FT

faint beacon
#

Hey

robust herald
#

because tagging specials seems like something I cba in doing all the time

proud jolt
#

lucuis shotgun I WANT

faint beacon
#

Don’t talk shit about Focus Target

hollow ibex
#

what do you even take FT for lol

#

i don't have a single build that uses FT at this point

faint beacon
#

Self + Team buffs

robust herald
#

what's WS again

faint beacon
#

Usually doing it in Havoc

#

Weapon Specialist

hollow ibex
robust herald
#

that's the one I was thinking about using

faint beacon
#

MMF = Marksmen Focus

faint beacon
robust herald
#

it seems like the justices keystone for arbites but for vet

faint beacon
#

Remember

#

They can kill it

#

You still get the buffs

hollow ibex
#

nah at that point i'd rather run MMF

faint beacon
#

Tag and forget

faint beacon
#

Terminal Warrant is actually worse WS

robust herald
hollow ibex
#

it's like they took the best part of WS

robust herald
faint beacon
#

WS is literally one of the best Keystones in the game

hollow ibex
#

and chucked it out the window

faint beacon
#

You get 3 melee kills

#

Now you have 100% Crit on next kill

#

And on that ranged kill

robust herald
#

that sounds. insane

faint beacon
#

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

robust herald
#

yeah

#

I was thinking WS sounds exactly what I want out of a hybrid

faint beacon
#

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

proud jolt
#

hey if anyone wants to krieg up let me know, Ill join you

faint beacon
#

Now if they could only tweak the Infantry Lasguns

#

All would be good

hollow ibex
robust herald
#

what's the dump on helbore?

hollow ibex
#

stability or ammo

robust herald
#

I'm considering grinding to damnation and just doing karnak suicide rush to 30

#

get it done quick along with my masteries

robust herald
#

ammo seems. Important

hollow ibex
#

i mean ammo's fine

#

given shocktrooper

#

but i don't think stability matters at all

leaden condor
#

What's stability do?

fresh thistle
proud jolt
leaden condor
proud jolt
#

glad I was able to grab this

leaden condor
#

Smelbore

hollow ibex
leaden condor
#

So unimportant if you're using the one talent that negates all that?

proud jolt
fresh thistle
#

did the devs buff the shredder auto pistol?

leaden condor
fresh thistle
leaden condor
#

I really like the laspistol

#

It's really fun with the weakspot kill keystone

hollow ibex
#

it's usable/decent now

#

whereas it was literally a bb gun before

proud jolt
leaden condor
#

I kinda wish we had a regular stubgun equivalent of the dual stubguns

surreal rune
#

its such a slog to rise up through the difficulties on a new character

leaden condor
#

They made it a lot easier with the new update

surreal rune
#

i still have to get up through all of it

tepid panther
#

Which mark of Tact axe is best to pair with Helby?

hollow ibex
#

VII

strange crow
hollow ibex
#

mk iv can be quite good, but not on vet

robust herald
#

what's a good melee for cleaving thru mixed hordes

strange crow
#

Power sword

#

Or db shotgun KEKW_ogryn

robust herald
#

hmm alr

#

does taxe work too

#

im not lvl13

leaden condor
#

I like the good ole chainsword for that

strange crow
robust herald
#

ic

#

I'll just use rashad till then ig

strange crow
#

Tac axe is usually used as the go-to budget melee since you don't need trench fighter

robust herald
#

I won't be long till I hit lvl13 anyways

strange crow
robust herald
#

I just don't like how slow rashad feels in its lights

strange crow
#

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

strange crow
robust herald
strange crow
#

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

robust herald
#

yea idk tho I like my cracks

strange crow
#

Fair enough

hollow ibex
#

youve been liking what now?

robust herald
#

my krak grenades sah

#

they make the biggun' go boomy

proud jolt
strange crow
proud jolt
#

ah the old helmet

#

I have the jacket and pants

strange crow
#

Nah that's the newer version

proud jolt
#

oh really

#

that helmet is fire

strange crow
# proud jolt

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

proud jolt
#

oh ok

#

yea I collected both versions

strange crow
#

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

strange crow
proud jolt
#

you like the steel more than krieg

#

my other favorite fit

#

vox soldier

strange crow
#

Yeah lol if you can't tell by my name

#

That's fire too

proud jolt
#

yea lol

#

i also collected the command hat

latent ridge
#

guys do you know any good skin to fit with this? im waiting Fshark to take back the black version of Vox

latent ridge
#

yeah

#

im using the militarum backpack, but still missing something immersive for field operations

#

this is my favourite look with the new map

proud jolt
#

strange crow

latent ridge
strange crow
#

The "rust camo" one

latent ridge
#

tan vox caster? nope

#

strange crow
#

Nah it was released in commodore's vestures with the cosmetic set you're wearing in the pic

latent ridge
#

i've one seen the black vox and green one from the rn shop

strange crow
latent ridge
#

that one would be the one ye

#

damn

#

why did they separate it?

strange crow
proud jolt
# strange crow

figured I ask you, what is the main rifle for the steel legion is it the lucius

proud jolt
#

ah ok

#

whats the VOSS lol

strange crow
latent ridge
#

i took your pic to remember when i see that on shop again

strange crow
latent ridge
strange crow
#

Folding stock and everything

#

Oh you didn't purchase it with the helmet?

latent ridge
#

no

strange crow
#

My b lol ig its still sold with the bandana then haha

latent ridge
#

it was a headset and a eye protesic

proud jolt
#

tried to make a death head, fire or not

latent ridge
#

thanks for the assistance!

strange crow
#

Ofc ofc

latent ridge
#

#

gn guys, have fun

strange crow

Unfortunate cause I like helmets a lot more

latent ridge

#

HOW DO I DROP A PIC

strange crow

I think u gotta get the Convicts role

Which u get by just talking in the server

#

It doesn't take too long

strange crow

Bet bet

fresh thistle
hollow ibex
#

he's the one writing the vet guide

fresh thistle
#

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

hollow ibex
#

what weapons?

fresh thistle
#

Vraks infantry autogun MK V and the chainsword XIIIg

#

Was using the tax axe like you guys suggested but didn’t feel right

hollow ibex
#

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

proud jolt
fresh thistle
# hollow ibex

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 staregryn

hollow ibex
#

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

fresh thistle
#

How bad of a spot is infiltrate in right now?

#

And how did it get in such a bad spot

hollow ibex
#

worst vet ult by far

hollow ibex
#

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

fresh thistle
#

Oof ThinkHmm man that hurts my heart to hear that one of my favourite veteran abilities is the worst in the class pepe_sad

hollow ibex
#

yeah same

#

used to main infil

fresh thistle
#

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

leaden condor
proud jolt
#

whats a good autogun build, I Never use any of them

#

thought about giving them a try

hollow ibex
#

just gotta build around it

leaden condor
#

Thats why I don't like them ig

#

And the delay

hollow ibex
#

grenadier gives you 4 of them

#

they're very powerful

#

and you regen them quickly

livid hill
#

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

faint beacon
#

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

hollow ibex
#

could be interesting

civic knot
#

why cant I change my ability??

tepid panther
#

70 thermal/ 72 charge rate is good for Plasma, right?

hybrid plover
#

and yesn't

#

sometimes it is, sometimes it isnt

#

gotta test it

surreal rune
#

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

leaden condor
#

Isn't 70 well past that

silver patrol
#

70 or more is completely fine

open ravine
#

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\

tepid otter
#

but das just me

agile mortar
#

what's dump stat on plamsa?

strange crow

Otherwise dump charge speed

ah XD
may I ask why it's optimal?

#

question what material is the chainsword made out of?

#

carapace i'm guessing

azure narwhal
hoary gorge
#

where did you get this idea from

fresh thistle
obsidian shoal
#

Where can i get Plasma gun?

#

and a power falchion

dapper coyote
#

Just level up in time and buy them

#

Or use melk coins and hope to get one
