veteran-class

[slender elm]

Or just psword slap

Is that the blessing or the node

[hollow ibex]

Blessing

[slender elm]

Ok

[limber sequoia]

is power sword + frags good, or would you just play dueling sword

[stable socket]

up to preference mostly, both have their use cases - dueling sword is strong and safe in single target, not super great into hordes, power sword is a bit less safe but has higher burst damage and deals better with density

[limber sequoia]

Makes sense, ive generally seen frags + dueling sword and kraks + ps paired together

[stable socket]

it also depends on difficulty/how coordinated your team is

in aurics and below you want a loadout that can handle everything in game because you're usually quickplaying into a team with a random comp, whereas usually (but not always) in havoc you will have someone who can kill soft targets (all non-carapace/boss) extremely efficiently which frees you up to do special sniping and burst down crushers/monstrosities/captains/twins, in which case you can run an unbalanced/overspecialized build like ds + plasma + krak/smoke (which would not be fun to run in auric) and do just fine

personally it feels like i perform better with power sword than dueling sword but there will definitely be people who feel the opposite way and i've seen plenty of good vets succeed with dueling sword (and other weapons like combat axe/tactical axe/devil's claw) so it really is down to preference

[limber sequoia]

[slender elm]

I wanna do a bleed stack vs bigger targets but it seems not viable?

Running plasma anyhow

[narrow frost]

Bleed probably helps more with cleaning many enemies then hitting 1

For example you need to hit a crusher 10 times to kill him, would bleed lower that at all?

[slender elm]

Which is kinda derp but then i do play that in vt2

[narrow frost]

On the other end if you hit 5 enemies and bleed them all it might save a few hits because how cleave damage works

[slender elm]

I would rather just hit him with special once and then disengage

Since he's slow

[narrow frost]

I can't think of anything that plays like that outside psyker and needler gun on scum

Maybe a fully buffed shredder nade

But that ain't gonna kill elites unless you dump alot of nades

[slender elm]

It's either that or i stack as much bleed as possible on bosses

So yeah, im a bit disappointed

But no biggie

[narrow frost]

Vet has a lot of competitive points so it's hard to justify the bleed

[slender elm]

What do I take for chain axe tho

Thrust?

[narrow frost]

Headtaker plus slaughter/thrust

[slender elm]

Ok den

[narrow frost]

There might be some funny interactions with the brittleness blessing but it's very niche

[slender elm]

Also how do you build for bolter

That thing is the clunkiest shit

[narrow frost]

Collat/mobility dump. Flak maniac, surgical pinning fire

There is a lot of tech with it

Uhhhh

1

If you unscope after you shoot it will reset your sway

So, shoot unscope shoot unscope

2 there is a minor reload speed increase

Press q (previous weapon) 2 times when the new clip touches the bottom of the gun

Very minor time save but I find it fun

[slender elm]

Classic qq cancel...

[narrow frost]

Yup

Welcome back VT

[slender elm]

I hate it

So do I just shoot everything with it?

[narrow frost]

Bolter is a great mid to long range anti elite and special with full auto mode for close range elites/boss damage

[slender elm]

Full auto? Wait what

[narrow frost]

Hold down shoot without ads and it releases the rest of the clip full auto

[slender elm]

I thought its semi auto and burst on hip fire

[narrow frost]

Ah

Semi auto I think sorry it's late

[austere mica]

You can do this with sprint

[narrow frost]

Also depends on mark

[austere mica]

Sprint is usable for all reload cancels

[narrow frost]

Yeah

[austere mica]

Freaky sub second recon reload

[slender elm]

Unless im blind and stupid it said semi/semi on the other mark...

[austere mica]

What weapon is this

[narrow frost]

Bolter

[slender elm]

Bolter

[austere mica]

One mk of bolter is 2burst/semi

The other is full auto/semi

[slender elm]

Huuuuuuh

[austere mica]

One fires a minimum of 2 shots a trigger pull

[slender elm]

I'll look again after work

[austere mica]

The other doesn't

[slender elm]

I had the burst mark

[austere mica]

Though the 2 shots thing isn't that bad

[slender elm]

Ammo and clip size pain

[austere mica]

It let you perfectly tap out a crusher 4 shot

[raw needle]

just q cancel it 4head

[robust herald]

recon lasgun lots of fun on vet

[topaz lance]

I like One Motion on the boltor

[toxic reef]

soon™

[twilit lotus]

Recently began trying the helbore

Found it very nice

[dry cloak]

Which mark?

[twilit lotus]

Lucius V

[dry cloak]

Mk5

Ok

[twilit lotus]

It was the one on when i got it

[dry cloak]

The fast one

[twilit lotus]

Yeap

[dry cloak]

Try others

[twilit lotus]

Which one ya recommend

[dry cloak]

They will slower but harder hitti g

[twilit lotus]

Hmm i dont mind that

[dry cloak]

Its really up to what feels the best for you

I used all of them and stuck with mk5

A lot of people use mk4 to have really high damage

[twilit lotus]

Aight, im still leveling the weapon

[dry cloak]

And mk3a is mice middle ground

[twilit lotus]

Ill try em all out

Thanks

[livid hill]

Finally... its over...

[heavy rover]

Welcome to peak

[heavy rover]

All three are good options, it's really down to what you're looking for
Mk IV is slow but hits hard, so it's good if you want to make each shot count
Mk V is kind of like an improved infantry las with its fastest rate of fire
Mk III is a good middle ground

Personally I like the mk III. It doesn't feel as punishing if I miss a shot

[tame lodge]

Mk4

Because fuck the guy on my sights specifically

[heavy rover]

Taking out large chunks of boss health with one shot will always be so satisfying

Especially with a mk IV with maxed out marksman focus stacks. Headshots after headshots is just chef's kiss

Oh we got final toll on a havoc match? As if that's gonna stop this big ass shot

[inner iris]

Does anyone feel autoguns are good these days I'm not sure how to build for them

[tame lodge]

Which Autogun

Vigilant?
Infantry?
Braced?

[inner iris]

Asking about all really

[tame lodge]

Infantry Autoguns are dps monsters

Vigilant Autogun is pretty solid pick, specially mk3

Braced are bad-ish

You only pick them for spray and pray reasons

[twilit lotus]

Hmm i am running MkV rn thanks for the advice! I will prob try out the MkIV next to get that contrast

[dry cloak]

Mk3 vigi is better agrip iag imo. Play very similiarly

[ancient path]

https://tenor.com/view/james-doakes-gif-1839872241505877979

[dry cloak]

Maybe a better choice is going incrementally. Swapping mark to mk3a and then to.mk4

[ancient path]

also with the fixes i can finally play hyper critical lol.

[twilit lotus]

Perhaps

Ill see if i prefer either, still lvling the gun rn

Thank

[dry cloak]

If you are above mastery 12 you shoulf have all 3 marks

[granite pine]

why does the plasma gun turn my game into a slide show

[fading yarrow]

Operative slots increased to 9

I deleted my Vet's daughter for no reason

[pine plume]

Wait you guys have multiple operatives for the same class? Why?

[fading yarrow]

RP

And also extra loadouts

I main Vet so I ran out of slots fast, and I'm on console so I can't uncap them with mods, so I made a second Vet and gave her RP lore

I did the same with Arbites, a male Fatalist for my main noir detective, then a female Maul for my Vet's ex-wife

The tertiary motivation to all this is that it lets me play with different Personalities without the hassle of Scourging at Krall's

[molten cedar]

Kinda wish there was a prestige option like in Space Marine 2 for your classes

It feels relatively easy to hit level 30

[stuck geyser]

are these stats ok? or should i gamba for another dump stat?

[pseudo fiber]

Red

[hybrid flame]

Go into inspect.
Look at what the stats do.
If it improves your damage or the number of enemies you can damage, it's not a dump stat

[low shale]

Came back after a long break what are some good builds?

[stuck geyser]

so mobility is the dump stat?

[strange crow]

You ideally want cleave targets at 60, cleave damage helps you kill stuff

[hybrid flame]

Almost every time

[stuck geyser]

im getting 2 answers

[true jackal]

usually it is, but for the power sword, becuase of the blessings you should take on it you can dump cleave targets instead

[stuck geyser]

scame: mobility 60
stoat: cleave targets 60

[stuck geyser]

hmm ok

what are the recommended blessings?

right njow i have slaughterer and power cycler

[strange crow]

Mobility is a dump stat as a general rule, but specifically for power sword it’s cleave targets

You want power cycler and sunder

[true jackal]

sunder or brutal momentum yeah

both fullfil the same role just in different ways and I think it's preference

[strange crow]

Path seems to just recommend sunder rn

[stuck geyser]

hmm ok i just copied tanner lindberg's power sword. im new to the game, does he know what hes talking about generally?

[strange crow]

Not always

He has a bit of a reputation here

[true jackal]

to put it lightly

[hybrid flame]

[stuck geyser]

reputation as a source of bad game knowledge?

[unreal nova]

To a degree.

[strange crow]

That but also being racist and stubborn and also a jerk

[unreal nova]

But the dump is cleave targets. Mobility dump will make trying to dodge with it even worse.

You always want to activate it anyway.

And yes, I say this with a mobility dump.

[hybrid flame]

You would think. But mob is the dump because it has a near unnoticable effect

[unreal nova]

Both are barely noticible tbh.

[hybrid flame]

True

[unreal nova]

Is just one is compensated with activation.

[strange crow]

Near unnoticeable but still does something, cleave targets at 80 has literally no effect

[stuck geyser]

wtf? why does the game freeze when i shoot with plasma gun? its doing it for my friend too

[tame lodge]

Plasma Gun nerf

Finally Fatshark

You've done it

[true jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-nodding-nodding-yes-horse-nodding-silly-gif-5152303604886252799

(it's probably a bug)

[stuck geyser]

everytime i do a normal shot, the screen freezes until it's shot

[cerulean echo]

same for me pal

[stuck geyser]

w

[hybrid flame]

This is what I get by trying to be nice.
Mob stat at 80 is the one that does absolutely nothing.
Cleave will beyond a shadow of a doubt get your more hits in a swing.
Reality is a thing. You should try it.

[tame lodge]

W nerf Fatfish

[cerulean echo]

game drops to 5 fps when shooting plasma

[tame lodge]

We love to see it

[unreal nova]

FS managed to unoptimise their game.

[stuck geyser]

0 fps

[faint beacon]

Unintentional nerf of plasma

Lmao

[cerulean echo]

L fatshark

[blazing notch]

just coming back to the game after a very long hiatus. Skill points bonked. Any big changes I should know if I used to be a Plasma Gun + Sapper Shovel andy?

[tame lodge]

We take those

https://tenor.com/view/zyzz-uptempo-zyzz-fist-bump-gif-25235668

[faint beacon]

Double down on it you fat fucks and make it actually have drawbacks on M1 spam

[tame lodge]

It's also really funny because Fatshark bugs are funny like that

[faint beacon]

They’re always like the most random bs that’s game breaking

[faint beacon]

Vigil auto and Helby users stay winning

[blazing notch]

it appears i tuned in at either the perfect time, or the worst possible time lol

[faint beacon]

Apparently plasma gun tanks FPS when firing atm

Which is hilarious

[blazing notch]

Lovely

So instead of nerfing my gun they are nerfing my pc

[true jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/milkcord-milkshake-the-bell-tolls-for-thee-spykids-bel-gif-17377360833881604023

[faint beacon]

Fatshark 🤝 unoptimization

[faint beacon]

How it feels seeing the unintentional nerf

[tame lodge]

Ok just tested

My game is bottlenecked, right, so the plasma always looked funny

However

I'm not plagued by fps dropping when shooting it

[hollow plank]

Oh let me fix that for you! Manifesting frame rate drops for you twin

[tame lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/bane-dark-darkness-batman-dark-knight-gif-18217991

[strange crow]

No reason to be snarky lol, cleave targets 80 compared to 60 is a 0.8 difference in cleave. Unless you're trying to cleave 12 dreg ragers instead of 11, what breakpoints would 11.7 cleave hit that 10.9 doesn't?

[tame lodge]

Sunder with the casual 40+ cleave

[true jackal]

brutal momentum also just ignores cleave last I checked

[unreal nova]

DLSS or no DLSS?

[strange crow]

Only for 3 targets though

[true jackal]

oh yeah they somewhat nerfed it

either way, while cleave targets does technically do something, the blessings you pick on the weapon mean it's irrelevant

[tame lodge]

Didn't check

https://tenor.com/view/pfft-trying-not-to-laugh-laughing-holding-laugh-covering-laugh-gif-10899551814881068905

Already turned my PC off

[unreal nova]

Oh. Just wondering.

Turning off DLSS fixed my Box of Boom stutters.

So, curious.

[candid lantern]

whats yall go to auric builds?

You can run whatever you like in aurics.

Is really just skill.

Shit's bugged

[stuck geyser]

can you show ur fps while doing that?

[tame lodge]

I'm not sure why it's N/A at the top right corner

[stuck geyser]

hm

[tame lodge]

but I was testing the explosion

[stuck geyser]

so plasma shot doesnt freeze my screen in testing arena

[tame lodge]

you cannot detonate plasma atm

[stuck geyser]

but in mission it freezes screen

when i normal shoot

[tame lodge]

m2 build finally real

[cerulean echo]

more me the more enemies around the more fps drops

[stuck geyser]

theres enemies in testing arena

[cerulean echo]

like a big horde around

[serene bough]

This is wild

[stuck geyser]

it freezes my screen a bit when i try to charge shoot at 100%

[tame lodge]

it autovented because I was spam clicking

dude

it autovented

a charged shot

lmfao

[serene bough]

Perfectly balanced

Working as intended

[stuck sable]

is anyone else getting crazy stutter when shooting/aiming when using plasma gun?

[tame lodge]

lots of people

it's bugged

@tall torrent

[stuck sable]

ah okay thanks love that

[tame lodge]

I know you love psyker

[frank basin]

Fatshark broke the game

[tame lodge]

so here's infinite m1 psyker no talents for your enjoyment

[tall torrent]

lol

lemme guess

psyker can't explode rn

[slow spade]

The fucking plasma gun recoil bug is back?

[tame lodge]

Uh no

Plasma is dropping fps

[slow spade]

Oh arguably worse lmao

[tame lodge]

And it can't detonate on charged shots

[slow spade]

Lmao

Charged shot meta UwU

[tame lodge]

Because psyker can't self explode

Unless rmb electric staff

Or inferno

Which means M1 psyker is back

[slow spade]

Hell yeah

[tall torrent]

nvr left

[slow spade]

Funny times with Fatshark

[fading yarrow]

What Tzeentchian esoterica or DarkMech scrap code do FS have running around in their backend

[tame lodge]

Well machine gun did

[slow spade]

Reminds me of the time I touched an audio file and started a shader crash when modding Stalker 🙏

[frank basin]

In going check forum

[slow spade]

I love spaghetti code

[stuck geyser]

well plasma gun doesnt drop my fps anymore, just restarted

maybe some memory leak things

[frank basin]

Anyone mention the plasma and psyker staff broke

[fair shale]

I have to restart every 3~ games lately

And if I go into a havoc at all the game is severely unhappy

[stuck geyser]

dang

[frank basin]

Okay there’s people mention psyker staff doesn’t make you explode

[tame lodge]

Plasma is broken in 2 ways

M1 is dropping frames like crazy

M2 can't explode

[fading yarrow]

Bro I was trying to play a match with my friend yesterday and I got an unreal amount of disconnects after having no issues all day

[fair shale]

They defo borked something last update, hope this one feels a little better.

[fading yarrow]

It took a full restart to get the game juuust stable enough to reach extraction

[stuck geyser]

i tried psyker m1 and exploded

flamer

[shrewd matrix]

it's everything except inferno staff and surge rmb

[stuck geyser]

i can keep powering up force sword and no explode

[fading yarrow]

I hope the Aquila boots return with the Armageddon rerun

[native ocean]

I have them on my psyker, they're fire

[proud jolt]

u refering to these?

[fading yarrow]

Indeed

[proud jolt]

ah okay

yea they are fire, I have them on my vet

not the green ones though

[robust herald]

[tame lodge]

Collateral

[robust herald]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-thinking-monkey-thinking-think-money-gif-9734025314392564509

[robust herald]

what mark should I use

[tame lodge]

VIc for starters

[robust herald]

is that like the ideal mark

I was using mk12 and that's pretty fun

but also idk how it goes so

[stuck geyser]

krak vs smoke nade? which would u guys pick?

[true jackal]

krak or shredders, smoke nades are really only good on higher havok difficulties afaik

[fair shale]

Depends entirely on mission and comp tbh

[stuck geyser]

when would you pick each?

[real loom]

Krak

[fair shale]

I'd take smokes for high havoc, especially one without a dome psyker cause they're budget dome in a pinch
I'd take Kraks if it's rot armor spam, they need tinkerer but they're great bulwark/crusher deletion tools
I'd take Frags if we have both of these things covered and I need something very general purpose I can launch into mixed hordes or most enemies and get a good effect from.

[stuck geyser]

hmm ok im progressing to auric atm so i guess ill stick with kraks

[fair shale]

Its genuinely never bad to be able to nigh instantly remove bulwarks

Them fucks en masse are run enders

[stuck geyser]

btw would you recommend this build? https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a027e181-5673-420d-a778-43e691b704ba/havoc-40-easy-veteran

unrelated but if u wanna help a new player some more

[fair shale]

Personally, no, ime PS really wants Trench Fighter drills, I don't think Out for Blood is worth it, and they didn't take Reciprocity which is like the best talent in vets tree ime.

Somewhere around here Bath had a good shell thats really easy to pick up and use

Also

You dump cleave targets on the Power Sword

[stuck geyser]

yea i was also looking at this #veteran-class message

ill prolly go with bath's

[fair shale]

Bath's just works.

[stuck geyser]

but idk how to pick the last purple nodes, like what situation

[fair shale]

It hits all the nodes you really want, and it leaves you a few to play around with/slot in what you like

[fair shale]

You can like just use WS(right) always

While you're learning it's a node that works off you playing the game

Its not like FT(middle) where you actively have to tag or MMF(right) where you have to aim.

WS simply rewards you for killing shit and swapping your weapons, being a hybrid

[stuck geyser]

ok tyvm

[hollow ibex]

rule of thumb: if it's a public GL build not from someone here, it's prob going to vary between meh or utter dogshit

[fair shale]

No problem

[proper otter]

is the power sword not making its cool sounds for anyone else

[fair shale]

I've heard it's been bugged

That and relic blade

I havent played anything but scum since scum drop tho so that is secondhand knowledge

[dim saddle]

wasnt sure about my vet cowboy/ bounter hunter fit till i saw him aura farm a cut secne with his revolver

[proud jolt]

So gents, whats your goto music to gaming if you play some

[proper otter]

i think its pretty funny ot listen to classical music when playing really chaotic games like darktide and helldivers lol

[proud jolt]

haha

I listen to country, which doesnt match the mood at all haha

[proud jolt]

ave maria or any russian classical song usually fits well, some get chaotic

russians making classical music is something else

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-darktide-rave-40k-kruber-gif-26978274

[proud jolt]

I would so lock in to Dschinghis Khan - Moskau

I wonder what moscow actually looks like on terra

[robust herald]

is weapon swap speed like a crucial node for helbore?

[dry cloak]

May i suggest ,,guzowianki,, my guy

[robust herald]

or is it like "eh you can ignore it"

[tame lodge]

While I'm not listening to anything lately
I used to go with hard rock/metalcore

[proud jolt]

I never even worry about weapon swap in any game I play lol, I always see it as useless, but I guess sometimes that .01 second buff can save your life

[robust herald]

hmm

does the helbore get buffs from Deadshot?

[midnight totem]

can kraks kill regular high havoc crushers and bulwarks or do they need tinkerer?

[proud jolt]

My music is Powermetal : sabaton/ beast in black or country : Charlie daniels / blackhawk / highwaymen

[midnight totem]

and did the patch fix power sword sound effects?

[tame lodge]

Yes
Does it need it? No

[tame lodge]

I fell off from power metal

[proud jolt]

oof

[tame lodge]

I guess 7 minutes of bangers were too much for me

[robust herald]

is precision strikes the better choice?

[tame lodge]

Always

[proud jolt]

you ever listen to the highwaymen, my personal favorite all time band

[robust herald]

ic...

vet building is kinda hard because I kinda want everything but I'm spread so thin

[proud jolt]

yea

Im currently running DPS with the helbore I was one tapping crushers in the heasd

[robust herald]

does the power sword need trench fighter drill?

oh apparently it affects the activation speed

alr I'll keep that on

[robust herald]

mine can't do that, I have to do like 5 headshots

[proud jolt]

its a combination of a bunch of perks

I forget what there called Ill have to get the picture of my gun, but it deals with the one perk that critical hits stack up the longer you aim

[robust herald]

surgical?

[proud jolt]

yea

https://youtu.be/gBOnxur1jkU?si=la8V92hKwMG4hKjZ

here is a good video on it

How do I get those pants ? what's clearance lvl 25 ?

[tame lodge]

Beat Havoc 25

[proud jolt]

yea I gotta do that, i want the moebian armor, but I dont have an elite group of sweats to beat havoc with

[fair shale]

Ime

Havoc isnt too hard 24 and below

You can defo cakewalk 1-20 if you play auric maels on the reg

[blazing horizon]

is it must be 25 ? or can I play higher one ?

[tame lodge]

You can beat harder ones

[blazing horizon]

Alright gonna give it a shot

[proper otter]

is there a weapon tierlist most people agree on

[stuck geyser]

welp plasma gun m1 still freezes my screen

thats crazy

[proud jolt]

I want this armor the most

Moebian Gaming

[stuck geyser]

but idk what cauyses the plasma m1 screen freeze because i queue'd into a random pub and didnt freeze

now queued with friend vet and it freezes

[tame lodge]

It's probably tied to the whole overheating mechanic and how it's broken rn

My best bet is to way for the next hot fix

It we're lucky, in 2 days tops

[stuck geyser]

damn so vet is on the bench for 2 days

[hollow ibex]

Sorry what

How is helbore a discount plasma

More like the other way around though the weapons aren't even comparable

Typical clickbait slop from sloptubers

Not my taste

[fair shale]

Cause most of the big name ones spread misinfo like wildfire, ime

thats fine, everyone has thier taste

Because most of them are grifters who don't know shit about the game, don't try to learn more about the game, and feel entitled to spread blatant misinformation for a few clicks

[molten cedar]

That's dumb lol

[hollow ibex]

IIWII

I don't care that sloptubers do what they do, but it's just unfortunate that the people who know the least about the game

Are the most likely to be further misled

[fair shale]

I think it's unfortunate two of the biggest names in DT youtubing are morons.

[proud jolt]

damn

Yea no, the guy I watch just makes videos about having fun on the game

I did see some videos popping up on YT about 2 darktide YT's arguing

[tame lodge]

Thinking about it
It should be easy to take the DT YouTube scenario

The big names are mostly shit so you just show up and swoop in

And boom it's yours

[fair shale]

You gotta hit the algo tho

Like tbh?

Frip is probably the best DT youtuber for their following size but Frip doesnt do like

Build stuff

[analog mural]

I mean there are good players on yt they just don't do guides or build vids most of the time

Cause they're too busy idk, playing the game

[tame lodge]

See

Barely any competition

So just swoop in and take it

[scenic bronze]

After playing hivescum.. is.. is vet just bad?

[hollow ibex]

No

[fair shale]

No, they do different things

Vet is also a good deal more survivable ime

I agree there, the one hit dead playstyle is something, but mobility clutches alot more

After playing vet.. is.. is hivescum just bad?

No but like

[fair shale]

I think vet probably feels bad compared to hive scum if all you want to do is shoot gun

[tame lodge]

This is just hilarious

[fair shale]

Is that

Vet with DAPs?

[tame lodge]

Yuh

I remembered that the Loadout config mod

Allows you to use exclusive weapons

So you can do funny testing

[fair shale]

Neat

[tame lodge]

Then you realize that hiveman shoots a lot but vet has ways to make the gun better

More bullets vs better bullets

I need more boolets

[slow spade]

Vet just needs dual bolters

[scenic bronze]

Ouch

Death from above looking ahh

[robust herald]

it's like how you turn with your swings

"HAI-YAAAAHHHH"

do yall know if marksman focus is ideal for the Helbore?

the finesse strength seems

Kind of important

on the crit gun

I think imma make two builds: one with power sword helbore MMF, one with power sword recon WS

or maybe do power falchion or shovel with WS...

[wild wasp]

I've been wanting to ask this for ages but kept forgetting to - does vet have suppression resistance baked in now?

its probably obvious lmao

[robust herald]

I don't know but it doesn't... feel like it

[wild wasp]

Yeah the original node i remember removed it entirely. It was amazing on recon and revolver

[tall torrent]

yes

[wild wasp]

but like it doesn't feel like it nullifies it completely anymore, and im 99% sure it doesnt exist now

Thanks!!

[robust herald]

shock trooper feels really important on like. every lasgun ever

but especially the recon and the helbore

I've been getting tons of ammo conservation with shock trooper helbore and especially recon

[real loom]

Vet no longer gun class

[fair shale]

It never was

[tame lodge]

Hiver addition is good because we can just break the argument that vet is the ranged class by pointing at Hiver or Psyker

[crude widget]

Me instantly saying this in the voice of Caseoh lol

[robust herald]

vet is hybrid

[limber bane]

is it just me or did they break this game really badly

my plasma gun primary shots make me stutter for a sec

some games I can't ping til like halfway thru the mission

[tame lodge]

Plasma is broken atm

Yes

The shots are tanking frames

And it can't detonate on charged shots at high heat

[limber bane]

fucks sake

[hybrid plover]

Ya know what. I'm actually a little okay with plasma being kinda gimped.

Because now vets can actually try other things.

[teal valley]

plama gun

[robust herald]

Like the recon lasgun!

[tame lodge]

Brok

[robust herald]

it's funny because veteran has like what might be the coolest array of guns to choose from and literally everyone picks the plasma gun and recon las

[tame lodge]

[slate ocean]

The plasma gun when charging lag spike comes up for me. Anyone on this bug?

[robust herald]

ye plas is bugged

two steps forward, one step back ass updates

[slate ocean]

ok

[tall torrent]

they shud make it where psykers tank frames whenever they build up peril (this is a joke)

[fair shale]

No it isnt

Fuck em

Give em screen tearing too

Call it warp perils

[low shale]

Anyone got a good build for the recon lasgun and the dueling sword

[real loom]

It was when there was shredder vet

[fair shale]

Shredder vet existed for like

A patch or two three years ago?

[real loom]

Yes and they like are basically desperado hive scum now + patches back then was months/year

[sharp trail]

for shredder nades if i'm looking to save a point for elsewhere, do i give up grenade tinkerer or grenadier?

[hollow ibex]

Tinkerer

[sharp trail]

i'm guessing the radius boost from lethal proximity is more than enough

[steel sapphire]

Hey guys, does anyone have both variants or all variants of the death korp helmet and or armor? Im newish to the game but i just found the death korp pack and got that

But i saw a guy on the dawnstar with a different looking helmet and only caught a glimpse of it and Just didn’t know if any of yall had it or any other kind of death korp stuff

is the combat blade any good?

I shamelessly bought the whole krieg set for vet because of the helbore lasgun

[mellow halo]

like is running a bleed build worth it

or am I better off with some other like power sword whatever

is plasma gun bugged? whenever i shoot it drops my fps like crazy and i cant do shit

[tame lodge]

Yes sir

[tall torrent]

yes bugged

[tame lodge]

Yeah
Usually not worth going for a bleed build

But

If you're going for it

Avoid lacerate

[mellow halo]

wait why avoid lacerate

aren't you supposed to apply bleed stacks?

[hollow ibex]

Lacerate is fine

He just has a hate boner for it

[mellow halo]

oh

🤔

[hollow ibex]

Between flesh tearer and lacerate I think FT might be slightly stronger

But the difference is really not that noticeable

[mellow halo]

ahh okay

[hollow ibex]

Assuming you use mk3 knife that is

On mk6 I'd just go tearer

[fallen sequoia]

now we just need a steel legion commissar (If it doesn't exist in-game yet)

[fair shale]

There's 2 or 3

[robust herald]

this class is really squishy, is that just me

the problem for me is it's both really squishy and really slow

like I get 3 dodges at most

[tame lodge]

Because knife works best when you hit weakspot
Lacerate doesn't want you to do that

It's simple as that

High finesse weapon and the blessing just wants you to play it wrong

Peak Fatshark trolling right there

[dapper sparrow]

hey so apparently the plasma gun is KILLING people's FPS since this hotfix

[tame lodge]

Yeah

[robust herald]

how do I make the class less squishy? do yall have a certain way around it

[tame lodge]

Iron Will

And not getting hit

And Out for blood

And not getting hit

[mellow halo]

What's the name of the talent that restores toughness passively after a specialist/elite kill

It's not Exhilarating Takedown

Or is it

[robust herald]

ic

[tame lodge]

Yeah confirmed kill
That one

[robust herald]

I think it's also cuz

no toughness curios

[mellow halo]

and voice of command and press F to win

[tame lodge]

Basically your best way of surviving as vet is kill and kill and kill

[robust herald]

yea

im having trouble with that because of so many people stealing kills

And the only body hits I managed to hit were criticals

Easily killing the target

Before bleed did anything

I'm too good at this shit

[jaunty tinsel]

what is out for blood?

[tame lodge]

Any kills replenish 5% toughness

And by default melee replenishes 5%, with O4B you replenish 10% by melee kill

[jaunty tinsel]

nice

[tame lodge]

Throw 2 frags at a horde and whenever they die to the frags bleed you'll replenish 5%

Bigger they are is Execs node

[neon pecan]

Post ur hardest Vet fit

[tame lodge]

I have a better question

[stuck geyser]

good curio stats?

for plasma gun / power sword build (from this https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a027e181-5673-420d-a778-43e691b704ba/havoc-40-easy-veteran)

[tall torrent]

I use this

[near knot]

too bad plasma gun is broken now I cant finish my build 😅

[strange crow]

Your choice if you want the 3.6 seconds off voice of command that 3x combat ability regen gives you

I much prefer 2x gunner resist for almost 40% total reduction and 2x toughness to get 248 toughness

3 stamina is def a good choice though

[near knot]

its good but gunner damage resistance is kind of mandatory imo

[strange crow]

GUYS DID YOU SEE THE JEFICUS + TANNER LINDBERG COLLAB?

IS THIS PEAK???

Whoaaa how'd you get them thighs out??

[tepid otter]

awooga moment

[tall torrent]

1 hp, 1 toughness, 1 stam

[strange crow]

Oh wait yeah I missed that the build he linked doesn’t have any health curio or even a health perk

Bro a Minecraft skeleton

[stuck geyser]

do you have a complete build page? would help a lot, im already using ur talent tree :D

[strange crow]

The second most recent pinned message in this channel is his old (now outdated) guide before he started the endeavor to port it to steam

Mostly you can search for his messages in here as I do

[robust herald]

what mark should I use on the shovel?

[strange crow]

For curio perks he runs 3x stam regen, 2x revive speed, 2x toughness, and 2x gunner resist last I checked

[stuck geyser]

are all of these the stats you add?

or is the main stat included?

[strange crow]

Yeah

[stuck geyser]

ok

and the main stat is just toughness?

on all

[strange crow]

Nah

Main stat for 1 should always be health on vet

Other two can be toughness, but you can also replace 1 toughness for 1 stamina

[stuck geyser]

ok

why does vet want stamina?

ive never seen any other classes need it on their curios

[strange crow]

Zealot usually runs stamina

[stuck geyser]

i mean i havent seen it on psyker or hive scum

[strange crow]

For vet its useful if you want to push/block more

[stuck geyser]

ah ok

[strange crow]

Or on the offchance you wanna run deadshot lol

[stuck geyser]

yea i do that a lot to stab with power sword

[strange crow]

Yeah for weapons like PS and knife that rely on push attacks its useful

[stuck geyser]

ok tyvm

[strange crow]

I personally run 2 toughness but that's cause I'm kinda rusty rn

[robust herald]

what mark do ppl typically run on shove

l

[strange crow]

Whatever floats your boat

It's not rly a meta weapon so you can run whatever

[narrow frost]

Stamina is preference, it makes some weapons that use push attack able to be spammed more, but vet has easy access to stamina talents so its not taken often (focus target and weapon special both have stamina regen)

[tepid otter]

I like the mk 1

[narrow frost]

I use mk 1

[strange crow]

I also run mk1 when I use shovel

But the folding attack is funny

[robust herald]

yea I think I like mk1 too

[twilit lotus]

Mk1

[robust herald]

I alr have high single target with kraks so

[hollow ibex]

Mk3 is really funny

[strange crow]

Mk3 looks coolest imo

[robust herald]

what does it do

[robust herald]

I have that one shovel cosmetic on with the bullet holes

[strange crow]

how much help does it need

[tepid otter]

"You have my attention"

[hollow ibex]

I just run it on a typical WS build

With serrated blade

[strange crow]

You no longer want h1 in the horde clear moveset?

[hollow ibex]

I won't say it's a stellar weapon but it's decent enough and a lot of fun

[hollow ibex]

Light spam is funny

[strange crow]

Fair enough lol

But they didn't reduce its cleave?

[robust herald]

all I rlly care about is an easy to use melee tbh

[hollow ibex]

They didn't but it does have a cleave cap

Not that I've noticed it

[hollow ibex]

Yeah it's easy

[robust herald]

power sword is good but its ease of use is kinda nonexistent with how you have to move with it

[hollow ibex]

Yup psword is pretty involved

Especially when shit hits the fan

[robust herald]

ye that's why I've been looking at other melee options

[hollow ibex]

And you're chaining charge block cancel into push then light spam then charge block cancel into push attack and lights

[robust herald]

because I need something good and easy to pair with my Helbore

[hollow ibex]

Falch or taxe imo

[robust herald]

which is kinda hard to use for me as is when I can only get my keystone off with marksman

[hollow ibex]

Well taxe has a fairly involved moveset

[robust herald]

p falchion looks easy to use yea

[hollow ibex]

Falch is easier but worse mobility

[robust herald]

I get 4 dodges with falch which is honestly more than enough for me

[hollow ibex]

That being said mk1 falch can literally just light spam everything

[robust herald]

I dumped heat management on it and it's doing just fine

[hollow ibex]

Mobility is dump BTW

[robust herald]

💔

I'll reroll it's fine

[hollow ibex]

But if you don't use it much it's fine ig

[robust herald]

it's literally just a blue falchion

[hollow ibex]

Idk the colors but mk1 is the good one

[robust herald]

not IIb?

[hollow ibex]

Nope because falch heavies are dogass

And I is the best for light spam

ST combo is technically PA L

[robust herald]

holy shit

[hollow ibex]

But L spam works fine too

[robust herald]

what's the build for this?

[civic hull]

So is it Canon that vet shits out grenades in havoc or how does he get them

Do he hide them in there like a smuggler

Columbian style?

[narrow frost]

prison pocket

[hollow ibex]

It got nuked but it was all the standard melee talents

And rending strikes

And focus target

So mostly right and middle

And cranial energized

Oh on the weapon itself

Idk

I cant remember if it was on the weapon or a tattoo

Cuz the same number XIIV showed up on space marine 2's new heavy bolter

XIIV isnt a real roman syntax number so idk if its actually a typo or it actually means something

[ashen marlin]

[indigo wren]

what abt console?

[raw forge]

Any updated strat on how to get “on overwatch?” I keep getting shot once by a gunner and then taking like 1 pt of melee dmg to ruin my run

[tepid otter]

Is that where you avoid being melee hit for the whole run

[raw forge]

Yea

[tepid otter]

I think you can tank melee hits with your toughness , I rememver Overkill helping me out a lot.

Just kill chaff to regen some extra toughness.

[raw forge]

But that only works if you have 100% toughness right? Like if you go below 100% toughness you just take less melee damage to your health? Or am I misunderstanding how it works

[fresh thistle]

is tactical awareness broken or something?

[tepid otter]

Depends on what hits you me thinks, but just dont let it fall down below maybe 50% toughness, and remember to block

I remember being melee'd a bunch but my toughness managed to save me and I got the penance for it all the same

[tall torrent]

Keep toughness at 100% and normal melee atks cannot hurt hp

[fresh thistle]

Hey what’s a good shotgun to use on veteran

[tepid otter]

Double Barreled seems popular imo

There's Combat shotty too

[azure narwhal]

Zarona mk6 combat shotgun for chewing through carapace in seconds, double barrel for mixed horde destruction and no need to reload, aripinaa for railcannon sniping

All fun, and great

[stark pollen]

anyone ever encounter a bug with vet where whenever you shoot the plasma gun it stutters the game and eats like 2-3 clicks.

[junior grail]

Zarona shotty can deal with cara?

[azure narwhal]

Exe stance + mmf and bob's ye uncle of old

2000+ weakspot damage

On crushers

[hard prairie]

Well another fatshark moment 👍🏾

[limber bane]

why take unarmoured + maniac instead of flak + maniac on plasma gun?

to one tap dreg gunners in the head I assume?

also for h40 do you take weapon specialist or focus target

[shy raft]

Both are fine

Focus target is good for the team

[limber bane]

wait this is the godroll right

bang

[limber bane]

and does it make sense to take unarmoured over flak on plasma gun?

[shy raft]

Nope, carapace and unyielding

You are the boss damage and anti-carapace, why would yoıu take unarmoured

[limber bane]

why would I use plasma gun on the boss

when I can just throw kraks at it and a few plasma sword stabs to kill it

I play vet primarily melee

and pull out the plasma gun to snipe specialists

[limber bane]

am I missing something?

[stable socket]

i think flak + unarmored is what the guide recommends because you already 1 shot trapper + scab bomber without maniac and unarmored lets you 1 shot headshot tox bombers

and scab/dreg gunners are flak/unarmored respectively (getting 1 shot headshot on them in high havoc needs a lot of buff stacking tho)

[swift rock]

Because plasma gun shots overpenetrate, and because for monstrosities you have krak grenades.

Plasmagun is also stupid accurate, even hipfired. Aim for heads and I'm pretty sure carapace armor won't save your target.

[tame lodge]

Yes

Look at Tox Bomber

Muhfuh tanky

Just go Flak + Unarmored

[limber bane]

bombers have unarmoured head hitbox

[tame lodge]

Yeah

[limber bane]

they get one tapped if you hs

[tame lodge]

That's why you go Unarmored

[limber bane]

ah you meant take flak instead of maniac

ok makes sense

[soft hound]

Infantry Autogun has been a strugglebus for me, as have the burst fire precision autoguns. Is this mostly skill issue or are they just harder weapons to use?

[frigid rover]

relative to what?

[soft hound]

Bolter, Las, shotguns...

[azure narwhal]

What build are you using infantry autoguns with

[soft hound]

Executioner's stance

[azure narwhal]

Keystone?

[frigid rover]

i use vraks inf auto fairly often for general purpose point-shoot ranged build stuff and it feels fine to me for the niche with sufficient dmg buffs
the niche being, i think, a flexible and accurate rifle you can also magdump big problems with if it comes to that
seems to have surprisingly decent dps on bosses too which i like

[soft hound]

(and Arby's)

The one on the far left

[azure narwhal]

Marksman's focus? I'm surprised you're struggling then. Exec stance + MMF autoguns are dps monsters

[soft hound]

The vraks I kind of fucked with, had a recoil pattern I actually could control.

[azure narwhal]

Send a talent tree

[quasi trench]

id like mmf more if it gave like, just one little stack on non-weakspot ranged kill
im not the adderall tf2 hitscan main i used to be anymore and the lil zombie bad guys move around a lot, pls understand

[dry cloak]

I say this not ironically tru columnus mk8 the middle variant. Or try agrippina the heavy variant

[frigid rover]

tbh if theyre dying a lot, most keystones wont save them

[azure narwhal]

It'd ruin the point of the keystone but i get it

[frigid rover]

i'd be willing to take a subnode or something, even

[azure narwhal]

I do believe that things like these are healthy for the game though

Every good/supportive mechanic ought to have a challenging counterbalance

[calm shard]

aim vaguely head level into poxwalker crowd and hold LMB

works for me

easy max stacks

[lime rampart]

Nah you want charge rate 60% rest 80% afaik

Doesnt matter too much now since you cant play plasma anyway atm

[limber bane]

nvidia driver update seems to have fixed it somewhat

[lime rampart]

Insane that the devs havent even acknowledged such a massive bug

[lime rampart]

Somewhat meaning? 😄

I even tried to lower all setting last night, made 0 difference

From ultra to low

[limber bane]

I did a few missions and it was fine, had to restart after a while cause it was starting to stutter again

but nvidia driver update also fixed a bunch of other issues I got since the last update

@tired egret

Yeah

[dreamy saffron]

so focus-target is meta now not weapon specialist? i havnt touched game in a bit

[tame lodge]

It's weapon specialist

[dreamy saffron]

and dueling/plasma still or powersword now?

[tame lodge]

Melee wise it's power sword

Ranged wise you have options

[dim saddle]

Nobody:

Vet plasma builds

[proud bluff]

How’s my Vet looking?

[dim saddle]

Stylish

[twilit lotus]

Ver nice

[soft hound]

I play vet as the ultimate 'remove all shooters always'

[dim saddle]

It's sort of funny to think that the Inquisition runs out of funding so they just start using water jugs and hoses to make plasma guns

[soft hound]

So my happy place is tapping heads with Lasgun with wall hacks, but I'm working on embroidering my horizons.

[azure narwhal]

Missing quite a few key talents needed for a good veteran build skeleton/basis

Try this when home

[stable orbit]

I thought vet was just for 1 shotting everything with the bayonet

[topaz lance]

Let's say I want to build las pistol with exe stance and MMF. What blessings should I go with?

[tame lodge]

Dumdum + Infernus/Desperado/Ghost

[tough nova]

I like infernus desparado flak and 5% crit

[topaz lance]

Which mark is the preferred one? I kinda like both, but I need to use the full auto mod for the fast shooting one

[silver patrol]

the one that does less damage pershot

[topaz lance]

Thanks, so full auto it is

[silver patrol]

yep

[tropic warren]

anyone got some interesting builds for vet that are a bit unusual? wanna try something new and i thought there might be some here

[fiery patrol]

hey. quick question. is rending strikes bad because carapace killer actually deal enough damage and for weapons that would otherwise deal little damage vs car. 10% is just not enough?

[tropic warren]

personally i bring a melee weapon that can punch hard and /or a krak grenade for carapace

[tropic warren]

word

[tame lodge]

Because after all
Rending affects Maniacs, Unyielding, Flak and Carapace

[fiery patrol]

but lets say i take it with a shred auto pis. then its useless because it doesnt do enough dmg to car to begin with?

[tame lodge]

So it'll depend on the weapon

[real loom]

Is plasma gun broken for everyone

[tame lodge]

Yup

Frame drops

Can't explode

[real loom]

🥲

[tame lodge]

Blame psyker

[real loom]

Why what is psyker do
