Yea

[narrow frost]

I agree

[tame lodge]

Shut yo mouth

[narrow frost]

others are just more broken

[tame lodge]

[prisma vessel]

S Tier weapons?

Rumbler

[narrow frost]

tier 0 melee, game breaking I assume

[tame lodge]

My goat Evis15 is right there (biased)

[tall torrent]

Ur goat is washed

[prisma vessel]

@narrow frost this reminds me to try that taxe on Rampage crit-max Hive Scummer

[narrow frost]

its dumb

1 taps in H40

cleave through a horde with 3 swipes

[prisma vessel]

Delicious.

[narrow frost]

was a 2 tap a mauler

idk what buffs I had

[tall torrent]

Tac axe and combat axe both op on hvs melee spec

[true jackal]

it's foul

[prisma vessel]

Yeah Rashad I know Already worked that

Rashad on Meleescum is pretty disgusting.

[sly orchid]

evis can pump so much damage with bloodthirsty

[hollow ibex]

Wat build?

[tall torrent]

Tax axe is just a little bit behind Rashad for hvs imo

The only things u lose are mauler crit 1 taps from full hp

And like, light atk rager 1 taps

[prisma vessel]

I can see that. But Taxe helps me feel more like an angry hornet with how fast that fucko is.

[hollow ibex]

MkIV or MK VII?

[tall torrent]

VII is best tac axe overall

[prisma vessel]

7 here.

[narrow frost]

I think it was something like this

when I was playing

[hollow ibex]

But cleave cap no?

[narrow frost]

idk, I was trolling in a solo

[tall torrent]

IV has the same

But less light atk damage

[hollow ibex]

Wait IV still has cap on the lights?

Bruuuuh

[tall torrent]

U have 3 cleave

Ur not hitting much to begin with

And heavy atks have 3 CDDC

[prisma vessel]

oh shit

new episode of Fionna and Cake dropped

YUSS

[hollow ibex]

Lmao I guess that's true

[hollow ibex]

So for this are we using the normal combo or just light spam for horde clear?

[narrow frost]

lights

its rashad

[hollow ibex]

Oh this is Rashad

Thought it was the taxe build

[tall torrent]

Rashad and tac axe kinda interchangeable in builds for hvs

[narrow frost]

yeah

[prisma vessel]

Rashad mah ballz

I use this

With dual 1911s

[narrow frost]

any testing on removing Bm from Caxe if you take all the cleave increases?

[prisma vessel]

Based and Chadly Zooka Enjoyer

[narrow frost]

Deci/Ht

I want to try it but havent yet

[quick shell]

Rashad (everyone)

[tall torrent]

Not worth

[tall torrent]

Rashad on other classes is a tier1 melee

But on hvs it’s t0

[quick shell]

zealot

[tall torrent]

Yea not even close

Zealot doesn’t get as much damage

Zealot only barely gets into crusher 4 tap with Rashad on martyr (no ult use)

Hvs with rampage hits crusher 3 tap

And human elite 1 taps

[prisma vessel]

Whaaaat

but

Scum is Glass Cannon without the Cannon!

[tall torrent]

People legit think zealot melee is better than hvs melee and it’s so funny

[prisma vessel]

It does feel amusing

[fair shale]

HyperV does a lot, huh?

[prisma vessel]

considering HVS Rampage alone makes prett much any weapon cracked. I took a Chainsword with Rampage and it murderized everything with ease

[tall torrent]

Even if hyperV didn’t exist
Hvs melee still mogs zealot by miles

[upper dock]

So what's the go-to ranged weapon for Veteran now that Plasma Gun is nerfed. I am always out of ammo with the recon

[tall torrent]

Lots of gud options

Also no plasma nerf in recent times

[fair shale]

you running shocktrooper?

[narrow frost]

probably means the frames drops

[tall torrent]

Only 1 bug with plasma but I think graphics driver update fixes it

[fair shale]

I don't think I've ever run out of ammo for recon in my life

[upper dock]

Plasma gun casts lag when fired

[narrow frost]

update drivers

[tall torrent]

Srsly tho they shud make it so psyker gets massive fps drop whenever they use any warp atk

[narrow frost]

lmao

that would be so funny

[tall torrent]

To accurately depict the dangers of reaching into the warp

[fair shale]

Is it just me or is communal psyker hate at an all time high?

[narrow frost]

imagine if peril affected framerate

[tall torrent]

Be lore accurate and all that

[narrow frost]

higher you are the less frames

[tall torrent]

It’s not just high it’s also fully justified

[fair shale]

Oh I agree

It just feels really common now

[tall torrent]

It’s morally correct to not like psyker

It’s 40k after all

[hollow ibex]

People are realizing the truth

[tall torrent]

Every 1% peril you generate. Reduce framerate by 0.5% and add 2ms input latency

[narrow frost]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/886742356529922172/1145863884545204335/attachment.gif

[narrow frost]

that'd be amazing

[tall torrent]

Stacks do not decay

Lasts until mission end

[robust herald]

Psyker??? Hah, never heard of her!

[sly orchid]

i would get 1 frame per 4 minutes

[tall torrent]

Accurate depiction of warp communication

[fair shale]

Uncapped limit

[tall torrent]

Well

After generating 200% peril you’d already have reduced ur framerate by 100% down to 0fps

Just crash to desktop

[fair shale]

Sounds like the psykers problem

[tall torrent]

Well it pretty much always is

2 of the 3 biggest fuckups in 40k universe are from smth psykers did

[true jackal]

whats the one that isn;t?

[fair shale]

2 of the 3?

[true jackal]

haw in heaven (old ones are psykers) great rift opening (eldar highly psyhicially active) and the horus heresy (the emperor is a psyker)

how tf did I write haw

[tall torrent]

Necrons fucking up

[tall torrent]

Necrons fked up and weren’t psykers

[fair shale]

What do you consider them fucking up

[tall torrent]

Forfeiting their flesh & soul

[fair shale]

I agree

They do too, iirc, for the most part

[tall torrent]

So yea 2 of the 3 biggest fuckups in 40k universe are from psykers doing smth bad

Eldar fucked up and created slaanesh

Magnus fucked up and basically doomed humanity

[fair shale]

Ig that depends on perspective but

Big E was dooming em anyway and he's also a psyker

[tall torrent]

Yes but Magnus was more direct

In any case humanity’s fuck up has psyker involved

[low shale]

So what is a good Blessing for the Power Sword?

[low shale]

I did Mobility as the Dump stat 😭 😅

[tall torrent]

It’s ok just not as good as cleave target dump

Not a big deal u can just roll another

[fresh spire]

is stacking thrust worth on bosses

[tall torrent]

No

[fresh spire]

hmm so the best havoc setup for DS4 would be like precog/uncanny + carapace/crit or unyielding?

[tame lodge]

It's morally correct to hate psyker

Fatshark knows it

So they keep buffing psyker

What are you going to do? Hate Psyker? That's already what you should be doing anyways

[fresh spire]

columnus or vraks

IAG

[tame lodge]

Vraks5

[strange crow]

Isn't it more like a 9.4% to 11.2% total damage increase depending on the armor type?

Or were you basing it off the mk14 or sm?

[hollow ibex]

Yeah just roughly saying

[strange crow]

Fair enough

[hollow ibex]

Based on 30 percent finesse

[fresh spire]

is there any benefit to going over 100 health on vet/psyker for havoc

like will it prevent me from dying to shit

beccause you just need a single curio sub to reach it

[tall torrent]

u don't die to poxburster in 1 hit

[narrow frost]

psyker gets health DR so its not needed

[maiden wharf]

Trying to do On Overwatch penance

Can someone help me pls

Do I need to start at the start or can I join midgame and still do it

[topaz scarab]

which is the better way of acquiring and upgrading a weapon

buying from brunt armoury and upgrade it from there

or getting one from requisition weapons and upgrading it

[maiden wharf]

I say requisition if you found your favorite weapon as it usually gets really up there

If not then brunt armoury

[topaz scarab]

am in abit of a pickle

as you see

the chainsaw i found

its ethe

80% damge

or 80% penetration

like

why cant i have a chainsaw that have all the stat at 80%

[maiden wharf]

I guess you just cant get what you want

[topaz scarab]

its ether 80% penetration but 60% damge or the other way around

[maiden wharf]

I just grabbed whatever, upgraded it to the max, and its my go to weapon (Dueling Sword Plasma Gun main)

[topaz scarab]

ok yea many weapon are also like this

bruh

so for chainsword

is it better to have better damge

or better pen

[tall torrent]

dump mobility

[topaz scarab]

also

whats the diffrent betwen the chainsword

and chainaxe

[verbal token]

The movesets.

[tame lodge]

Chainsword excels at hordes of poxxers
Chain axe excels at flak and carapace

[verbal token]

It is also important to note that one chain axe mark is better for single target damage while the other has more sweeping attacks.

[topaz scarab]

ah

huh, so thats why it chew through shield soo good

[verbal token]

Also, no weapon can have 80 in all stats. That’s how it is.

[mellow halo]

do I want to power up my psword as much as I can?

[verbal token]

For optimal damage yes, but it is not exactly mandatory. It still works without being powered up, but it could be better.

[mellow halo]

I feel like it just doesn't do enough damage without charging it

[verbal token]

Well yes, it is a bit of a wet noodle when unpowered.

[mellow halo]

true

do I just spam the power button then

[tame lodge]

Every 3 swings with power Cycler

[mellow halo]

yeah I have power cycler 3 now

yes? no?

[lyric path]

You can always trust a veteran to have your back

[rustic hemlock]

why does the spearhead boltgun take forever to be able to fire after swapping? how do i skip the animation?

[tame lodge]

Always go for charged attacks

[mellow halo]

should I just not light attack with psword?

[tame lodge]

You only light attack with Psword 6

[mellow halo]

is mk6 or 3 better?

[tall torrent]

yes

[tall torrent]

6

[scenic sigil]

Anyone else use the Shock Maul? I can't tell if it's a heavy tank killing weapon or a crowd-control one (and what to build around/with it)

[tall torrent]

it's both but doesn't excel in either

it's supposed to be a stagger-oriented weapon but it's not actually good at stagger

lol

[scenic sigil]

A bit like the chainsword then? I guess

[tall torrent]

chainsword is not actually good vs big targets

[scenic sigil]

Yeah, I noticed since it can't seem to get through carapace armour. It does have the versatile trait though

[topaz scarab]

lmao

[obtuse turtle]

What weapons are good for veteran right now? I've never used veteran before

[dry cloak]

Maybe just play

Everything is good imo

Viable i should say

[native hamlet]

generally it could be ideal to balance out horde clear and single target damage between your melee, ranged, and blitz, with pinching in cc whenever

so like if you have a combat blade, boltgun, and krak grenades, you're really good at mobility and single target damage, but you would spend a long while fighting to clear a horde.
keep teammate's build in mind too, esp if it's someone you know and is competent. if they have a lot of horde clear stuff, you could run this and be oki doki too

[native hamlet]

there's two ways

one you could take one motion talent that's at the top of the tree. it's pretty nice

or alternatively, if you have less than 15 bullets and more than 0 (so like if you fired a single shot/the clip isn't full) you can draw to the boltgun and immediately reload, and right as you're about to take the mag out, you sprint to cancel it

think it's slightly faster than one motion. clunky at first, but i assume will get more comfortable the more you do it. like plasma reload canceling

[proud jolt]

btw loving new bolt pistol mark

the explosive raduis is crazy

[strange crow]

Rn the big 3 melee are power sword, tac axe (saves a talent point), and combat axe

Best vet ranged for havoc are helbore, plasma (fps issue notwithstanding), vigilant autogun, and recon

If you’re just doing auric though you’ve got more top options for ranged like revolver (actually cracked) and infantry autogun

[proud jolt]

yea the hellbore smacks like a cannon

love this thing

[stark holly]

I just hit lv 30. It seems like it might be a good idea to buy and hold "perfect" stat distribution weapons when they show up in the armoury exchange so that I can upgrade them in the future if I want.

I understand that different weapons have different stat options, so there is no universal rule, but would it be accurate to say that the 60 stat for most ranged weapons should be mobility whenever possible and maybe stability for some of the slower firing weapons?
And for melee weapons, I can dump cleave damage if its a single target focused weapon, but I am not sure what to do for AOE focused weapons

[fair shale]

You can buy them from the tab under the shop

A bit of gambling as a treat

[proud jolt]

yea buy the shit grey

[fair shale]

As a general rule of thumb you normally dump mobility or defenses for all weapons

Power sword specifically dumps cleave targets

[proud jolt]

you can get good stats, and then upgrade

[fair shale]

Yeah

[proud jolt]

I use to buy the grey weapons and make them all green, then sacrifice them, for fast level up, but I think they nerf the system

too much STONKS

[strange crow]

Actually collateral is a more ideal dump than mobility for ranged weapons, with a few exceptions such as boltgun

[stark holly]

yea, that makes sense

[proud jolt]

I mainly go for ammo/dmg

[stark holly]

But i think for something like the helbore lasgun where thats not an option, it seems like ammo or stability would be good options

[strange crow]

Yeah stability for helbore

[proud jolt]

having precise aim with that is important

[stark holly]

im surprised to see dmg. I would have thought people would always prioritize damage on like 99.9% of situations

[proud jolt]

sometimes the guns will have it as the lowest stat, which I always destroy those weapons

I know some people really like having max stamina, but I dont really care for it

But then again, I dont do massive optimization builds

[strange crow]

Damage is actually something you can dump for knife if you want 80 mobility bc first target affects its damage more

[proud jolt]

I build for fun

[strange crow]

And obv damage is what you dump for flamer and inferno staff

I personally just run 60 mobility knife though

[proud jolt]

the knife is crazy, I feel like I need to inject fent to fully have the rat experience

my first 500 mastery weapon

[proud jolt]

I Do enjoy running some quality of life mods

like this one which tells me whats needed for penaces

[shadow dagger]

oh i just forgot to track it

you love to see it ig

[stark holly]

I have been mostly playing on Heresy and I have not really had any ammo problems at all. But I also tend to prefer melee gameplay whenever possible.
If I run a powersword + plasma gun combo, do I really need 80/80 Ammo or will I run into trouble if I try to run a 60-70 ammo plasma gun, especially when I start to move on to harder difficulties?

[tall torrent]

would recommend 80% ammo stat because there's no reason to get above 68.?% thermal resist, and a few points into charge rate above 71.?% makes very little difference (max dmg and stopping power obv)

[stark holly]

yea, makes sense

I saw a few reddit posts about this

I dont currently have a 69 + 71 plasma gun, so ill just use the 60 thermal resist gun I have for now and then upgrade later on

[hollow ibex]

don't trust reddit, youtube or gameslantern

[stark holly]

thanks

[lyric path]

did the devs really buff the shredder auto pistol?

[hollow ibex]

a while back yeah

[tepid otter]

What else did they buff

[hollow ibex]

idk depends on how long you were gone

helbore chaxe taxe

chord

combat shotguns

i'm definitely missing a lot

[dry cloak]

I would sya there are few yiutubers worht they salt

[hollow ibex]

yeah though usually not the ones that newbies get introduced to lol

[dry cloak]

Yeah

Thats the thing

[tepid otter]

Prolly like 3 weeks now

I also havent tried the new no mans land yet

that was after they nerfed it to the ground

[dry cloak]

You should

And prepare for a pounding

[tall torrent]

no man's land is fun

but that crater section's terrain collision is crazy

[burnt pelican]

I had to remove loads of mods this patch and I still get frequent memory leaks rip

is any scoreboard mod functioning rn btw

[burnt pelican]

ainz is ppbl the only one Im aware of that knows what hes talking about

in vm2 online builds are not that bad they are alright in darktide they are HORRIBLE

[wild vortex]

Reginald

Cole

[red portal]

Nah there are way more than just ainz

[silver patrol]

imo you can't really miss the mark in making a vm2 build

[burnt pelican]

yeah obviously he is the only one I know enough to vouch for him

there are others idk about qlang ive only spoken to him once he seemed to know whats up

[red portal]

I personally wouldn't use qlangs builds but they are fine.

[burnt pelican]

qlang plays a certain way thats different to mine, if u play his way his builds are great

if you know him you ppbl know what I mean

[red portal]

I haven't even touched darktide in over a month cause I'm burnt out

Vt2 is the goat

[burnt pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/both-agree-yes-good-gif-4591420

vt2 is great for when u wanna play the game and not have it memory leak every 2 games and experience minimal bugs

prove me wrong

[red portal]

Or have unplayable servers cause na servers are on fire

[burnt pelican]

oh yeah true that

[red portal]

No idea what they did to us east

But I am not playing with my American freinds anymore.

[burnt pelican]

let them come to you xD

[limber bane]

plasma gun still bugged?

ever since the hotfix I've had to play other primaries (revolver, helbore) and it just made me realize how disgusting plasma gun is

with both guns you need to be precise to tap heads

and unlike plasma it doesn't have fucking infinite punchthrough

so in a lot of instances chaff that run up ahead of specialists would just block the shots

[tall torrent]

update graphics driver

[limber bane]

I have, after a game or two it goes back to being shitty again

[stable socket]

is there a picture of smoke grenade radius? to this day i still have no idea how big it actually is, it feels kinda big but idk

[leaden condor]

I don't think I've ever seen a smoke grenade user out in the wild

Everyone runs krak grenades

[stable socket]

smoke's really good for turning off ranged in havoc (which can be really dangerous especially on more open areas)

not having krak means your team needs to have other good ways to handle armor/monstrosities though

[trail steeple]

Im running revolver with combat knife, and infiltrate and smoke grenades. Just for fun really / isnt my main.

But I can't decide which combat knife to use? I kinda prefer the mk iii as its like, the melee version of my revolver. So it all gels

But Im guessing mk vi is better as it has more sweeps for horde clear? But I keep fumbling it when I need to single target (push stab? Punch to heavy?)

Or should I always be revolvering in their face in those scenarios

Also... Im trying it with Always Prepared as people seem to reccomend it with Revolver. I dont know if I'm playing it wrong, but it doesn't seem very good vs Tactical Reload...

I have to leave my gun close to empty, kill some stuff in melee, then swap to it and I get 1 to 2 bullets back in the chamber?

Vs just reloading faster and having it ready to blast?

[final charm]

So being able to teleport bullets into your gun by just swapping your melee weapon which you already do a lot or have to pull out your gun and manually reload each bullet, I think teleporting bullets is fun.

[dapper coyote]

Man i would REALLY want to have a slug DB

[dapper coyote]

It's the tandem with melee usage

You can always reload mid combat or avoiding a panic moment when a specialists suddenly show up and you don't have the means to deal with it pretty quickly

It might look shit but its fucking based

Also Always Prepared is way better with DB

[strange crow]

The idea is to shoot once and then switch back to melee to constantly replace the one bullet you lose and never have to reload

[dapper coyote]

Allowing you to basically have Sv_infinite_ammo 1 as long as you have someone to die with melee and there's always that someone

[mortal aspen]

why do you think you need to leave your gun close to empty to use Always Prepared?

[trail steeple]

Ah ok, I tend to switch to it to alt fire unload quite often, so Ill try switching up how I use it and see if it feels

I totally realise im wrong cos everyone reccomends it, but it just seemed a bit lackluster. So assumed I wasnt using right.

[strange crow]

Oh yeah usually people use the mk2 revolver for it

[trail steeple]

Sorry, I dont 'need to' I just mean I might switch to and fire 3 to 4 shots.

[strange crow]

The one that doesn't fan

[trail steeple]

Ahhh

Now theres a big difference

Silly me, Ill give the other a go

Cheers all

[slender jay]

i ask this question here because i recently playing back veteran after finishing 100 game as hive scum and when i started using back the plasma gun i realize that my frame drop and make me lag a lot it happen mostly when i charge the weapon and shot it

[tame lodge]

It's bugged

[slender jay]

is that normal ?

[tame lodge]

Shooting plasma drops frames

It's bugged

[slender jay]

when that started to happen ?

[tame lodge]

Dec 2

[slender jay]

if that so i gonna then replace it with a boltergun in meantime it can be fix

[proud jolt]

Bro, sorry for long response I was in bed, but yea the scoreboard works

[burnt pelican]

No worries thx

[barren nexus]

guys i just came back to the game and i left before the talents rework

can anybody tell me wtf is going on

wth is the mastery system

[final charm]

They got rid of the pull blessings off weapons and now you just earn them by playing or sacrificing weapons. still a bit grindy but more consistent.

[topaz scarab]

or if you hae alot of money

just buy a bunch of the same type of weapon and sacrafice them

[gray meadow]

Yeah when I came back I thought the mastery system just have extra bonuses. I like the new system my vet was lost in an update long ago it made replacing his gear a lot easier

[barren nexus]

thats what i did back in the day so now i have these bad boys

dunno if theyre still viable or not tho

or the perks are shit now

[tame lodge]

Shovel with poor First Target stat

That one is chalked

Throw it in the trash

Or maybe you don't have the resources for a new one yet

So keep it until you can go for a better one

[barren nexus]

i have a shit ton of shovels of the lowest rarity

[gray meadow]

Question is building weapon mastery in missions based on actual weapon use or just having it equipped?

[barren nexus]

i bought them in bulk from the mecahnicus

imma head back here and ask more questions later as my friends are holding me at gun point to play league with them

[narrow relic]

upgrading rarity is pretty cheap, the only thing that cannot be changed about an item is the stat distribution so choose a good roll and you can spend materials to max its rarity, perks, blessings, and power

[distant plaza]

equipped

[gray meadow]

Ok ty

[barren nexus]

guys i need some help on the talent tree

it is confusing af

[dapper coyote]

Which one?

Vet keystones can be summed as

Headshot maxxing - marksman focus

Tag for extra dmg - focus target

Melee + Gun wombo combo - Weapon Specialist (WS)

[barren nexus]

im running shovel and boltgun for now

ill be going for WS

[dapper coyote]

Vet abilities are

Wallhack lmao - Exec stance

Fuck off for a few mins - Voice of command (VOC)

Bye bye / a res with no one disturbing you - Infiltration

[dapper coyote]

Im not sure if WS is good with big bolter but WS is fucking based so go ahead and do some trial with it

[hollow ibex]

You'll want a weapon with faster draw for that lol

[dapper coyote]

Yea, that's why im not sure about with the big bolter lmao

[barren nexus]

i just threw together a make shift build together cus i just wanna play a few runs bfr i go to sleep

imma ask yall for opinions to fine tweak tmrw

[crimson mica]

Does the plasma gun lag for anyone else?

[trim badger]

Yes it's a known bug

Alongside lagging when reaching high peril

[crimson mica]

Yeah, it seems to affect console players as well

[tall torrent]

cloud radius 5.5m

update graphics driver if u can

[tribal tinsel]

Good power sword build, blessings/perks?

[hollow ibex]

carayielding, brumentum/sunder + PC

[true fern]

what should i be running on power falchion?

[tribal tinsel]

Gotcha. I can never remember.

[hot dragon]

I think people runs at least one blessing to reduce heat

[hollow ibex]

carayielding, wrath + energy leakage/wrath

[balmy flume]

Am I a Heretic for saying I still prefer the original Power Sword over the Power Falchion?

[hollow ibex]

no, falch's mid as fuck

Guys, I have a hot take. I think Darktide is fun

[rustic hemlock]

[civic vessel]

I did a Spearhead Bolt Gun + Combat Knife bleed build but i think it's leaning far to much into bleed meme. Just doing Heresy stuff but also trying to figure if I should swap Puncture out from the Bolt Gun

[hollow ibex]

puncture's good on bolter

[civic vessel]

Hmm guess so. I should pop this on Lantern for proper advice asking

[distant plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/neo-roman-gif-26847864

[civic vessel]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a093e27e-fb87-4359-8ef0-70f2f42ef152/bleed-8 Would appreciate advice especially on Blessings for the Combat Blade and if I should swap Skirmisher+Exploit Weakness for Agile Engagement and Onslaught

[strange crow]

Punctures what you use for most boltgun builds (especially on vet) so def keep it on

[civic vessel]

maybe swap out Serrated Blade for Agile Engagement?

[strange crow]

iirc meta knife build is uncanny + flesh tearer for blessings and flak + carapace for perks

But if you run the meta knife build def keep serrated

You don't need field improv if you take serrated

And don't bother with onslaught for anything except recon mk12

[civic vessel]

Thanks, so just to recap Lacerate+Uncanny for CB blessings? And I can swap Field Improv out for Agile Engagement?

[strange crow]

my b meant flesh tearer + uncanny, and yes field improv not needed but I'd choose something else over agile since you aren't gonna have it up that often in melee

[buoyant aurora]

Does the brittleness talent work on monsters? Didnt really see the difference with max stacks

[hollow ibex]

yes but the impact is limited

[strange crow]

Yeah but it won't make as much of a difference than on carapace

[civic vessel]

Copy that, any recommendations? Always Prepared I guess? I feel like I autopilot into Field Imrpov so much

[strange crow]

Imo just replace weapon specialist with focus target and spend your leftover point on redirect fire

Idk how much you gain from weapon specialist

[tame lodge]

I disagree

[civic vessel]

I suppose if they die from bleed it doesn't count towards activation of Agile Engagement?

[narrow torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/kung-fu-panda-finally-a-worthy-opponent-our-battle-will-be-legendary-battle-fight-gif-24829111

[buoyant aurora]

So taking it on Havoc for max monster dps is pointless?

Does it work on twins well at least?

[strange crow]

Onslaught is already kinda pointless outside of the niche mk12 recon build

[buoyant aurora]

Yeah Im actually using that xD

[strange crow]

Oh yeah my b

Then yeah it would have utility but its main value would be against carapace

[buoyant aurora]

Mmmm, okay I see...
Then its not really THAT useful as I thought it would be

[hollow ibex]

onslaught is shit on all builds tbh

[civic vessel]

Thanks, I'll give this a toss with Weapon Specialist side first and then Focus Fire after

[buoyant aurora]

I guess pure 20% dmg is better then

or was it 15%, i dont remember now

[strange crow]

I'm not actually sure, you should prob ask path.exe

[strange crow]

Oh also just noticed this but you don't really need rending strikes, the 25 extra toughness will be more useful

[tall torrent]

dot kills are neither melee nor ranged kill

[mystic lodge]

Glass cannon Vet is the most fun Ive had in Darktide so far.
Sometimes you fill the entire killfeed with your name
Other times you get neg-diffed by poxbursters and flamers, even poxwalkers

[tame lodge]

Rending/Brittle works on Carapace, Flak, Unyielding and Maniacs
So yeah it'll work on twins
However, most havoc people are running good weapons
So it ends up not mattering much

[mystic lodge]

#makerendingmatter

[tame lodge]

Rending already matters
Brittle is overrated

🗣️

[hollow ibex]

true tbh

[buoyant aurora]

Alrighty, guess I'll switch it then xD

[tame lodge]

Maybe you can convince people to run devil's claw

Since devil's claw sucks against flak armor

You'd get value out of brittleness against the twins

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

[true jackal]

parry rinda

[tame lodge]

(or literally every other flak wearing enemy)

[buoyant aurora]

Impossible, each game I get it seems like everyone is just using the "unfun" weapons as I'd call them 💀

I mean understandable, people wanna win

[civic vessel]

good to know thanks, i just did a casual Heresy run, seems good so far, i do like the burst of damage from Weapon Specialist and Agile Engagement but keeping in mind that they're flexible if runs go awry

Minor bias that I have is being in Asia region where everyone goes off on their own and tries to speedrun

[mystic lodge]

no need to convince, I already use it. It suits my playstyle tbh

I use krak against crushers and IAG against gunners/specialists. Devils claw can take care of everything else, especially hordes of groanders sneaking up on my ass

its not a fast killer but its a safe backup weapon for a ranged-focus vet

[faint beacon]

DC is fucking insane on scum I will state that lmao

my friend did 100k over me with it when I was running Taxe Vet and we did 2.5x the total of our team

DC Scum is crazy dont sleep on it

Is this still obtainable? Or is it gone for good?

[tall torrent]

not yet released, prob next Thursday

[fair shale]

Shop defo rotates on the 17th?

[steel sapphire]

Oh really? Sweet we’ll see ig haha

I was about to ask

[tall torrent]

perhaps

[civic vessel]

oh yeah what are some good mods for this game?

I only checked nexus to see if there was anyway to stop the game from abducting my mouse whenever i alt-tab

[true jackal]

the auto fire and auto melee mods are recommended

healthbars is nice, scoreboard is fun to gauage your stats (the nexus download is broken for that rn though)

[civic vessel]

scoreboard = combat stats mod?

oh no it's a diff one entirely huh

[true jackal]

if you want that one rn you gotta go to the modding discord

crashes the game unfortunately

[hollow ibex]

scoreboard install is a bitch

this is what im using

[civic vessel]

thanks will give it a scan

[uneven acorn]

do y'all use deadshot on your lasgun builds?

[tame lodge]

Nuh uh

[uneven acorn]

📝 thank

[civic vessel]

Dum2 Infernus for me all day

o the Talent, naw too much brain, Guardssman no need for thoughts

[crimson wyvern]

https://streamable.com/2d7a4x

is this new?

dont remember two inspection animations

[fair shale]

Its been in game for as long as i remember

Knife has a unique anim for inspections too

Balances on the tip of your finger

[civic vessel]

What's the reasoning behind Bolt Pistol having Collat as the dump stat?

[strange crow]

Collateral does nothing for most ranged weapons except make enemies duck behind cover and become harder to hit

Only instance where 80 collat helps is boltgun on vet since it lets you open up bulwarks in 2 shots

[true jackal]

also most the weapons that dump it don't gain a stagger break point between 60-80

[civic vessel]

interesting

[true jackal]

so the performance literally doesn't change between 60-80, same amount of shots to stagger either way

[civic vessel]

guess i wasted resources on a few guns huh

well everything is still usable

[true jackal]

the difference between 60-80% of like mobility isn't often very much either

[civic vessel]

I must farm more Diamantine

[pulsar gorge]

hey I havent checked zealot talents tree since the update and I noticed the game deleted my saved talents for the one shot boss hammer build, did they changed something in the talent tree that could have changed this build?

[strange crow]

Yeah the whole talent tree got reworked

Pathing and everything

[pulsar gorge]

I was using Mr. Unc Zealot build from 2 months ago Im assuming it doesnt work anymore?

[calm shard]

there's two for knife

[fair shale]

Whats the other?

[calm shard]

balancing it on your palm xd

[fair shale]

Oh fuck yeah I think I've seen that once

Biggest selling point of knife use is the cool inspection animations

This game just like CS frfr

[strange crow]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ffa4c9e-ac31-4635-999f-03c50a33aacb/uncs-backshots this one? It should work tbf it looks up-to-date

My b I misread your original message

[pulsar gorge]

I just copied the one I saw in his video lol

I don't know if that one is up to date

[tough vine]

Soon please

[topaz scarab]

which is better to run

executioner stance

or voice of command

[tall torrent]

they're roughly equal

[topaz scarab]

after running executioner stance, i do miss having a oh shit bail out of jail card

[tall torrent]

depends on what u prefer

not the same purpose

[topaz scarab]

yea, one for taking on target, the other is more team work

though

[tall torrent]

one turns veteran into veteran pro max plus

[topaz scarab]

i do find my self in more oh shit i need to run moment when running executioner

[tall torrent]

the other resets melee fights and helps ur team more

[topaz scarab]

like, i miss being able to just press f and then run

[tall torrent]

what diffs are u playing atm

[topaz scarab]

diff?

[calm shard]

paying for premium veteran subscription

[tall torrent]

difficulty

[topaz scarab]

usually herecy

i asume its this game aqruivilant to hard mode

also the amount of time the game just throw crusher at me make me realy wanna reconsider krak grenade

[tall torrent]

not really?

hard would be havoc 31+

standard would be auric

[topaz scarab]

so you telling me i been getting my shit kick in on baybe mode

[tall torrent]

wouldn't call it baby mode

just, practice mode (hard)

[fair shale]

Heresy is the first real difficulty ime

It's where more real hordes start showing up and enemy health tweaks are more apparent

Good place to learn things

[topaz scarab]

and also am missing one wound

[fair shale]

You'll get used to it, promise

[tall torrent]

think of it more like, by default ur supposed to only have 2 wounds on human characters, <heresy just gives u more to ease u into the game

not the other way around

[lyric path]

question how rare are we stealth vets?

[topaz scarab]

prob more executioner and voice then stealth

but then again

[pulsar gorge]

ah my bad I thought I was in the zealot class chat lmao

[topaz scarab]

they prob in stealth so i never seen em

oh god

am running out of scroll

why so many fucking veteran accessories have this shit on

[hollow ibex]

rare and good ones basically don't exist in the wild

[bleak jackal]

thougts on the falchion?

[lyric path]

hey wtf am i than i'm a stealth vet and a EXCUTENCER stance vet

[hollow ibex]

mid

[stark holly]

when using the plasma gun, sometimes the shot just cancels. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I cant tell if my mouse is dying or something

[hollow ibex]

yeah i main ES now

used to be a stealth main

[bleak jackal]

dumpstat plasma gun?

[distant plaza]

69 thermal, 71 charge rate ish

[bleak jackal]

nice thanks

[stuck gorge]

ranged weapon primer doc is in the owners trash lol

[hollow ibex]

from 2023 tbf

[stuck gorge]

oh well, we'll get to see it unpinned someday soon

🫡

[tall torrent]

I am making steam version

[small mason]

Does anyone else lag when using the plasma gun? I use mods if that helps.

[tall torrent]

update graphics driver

[topaz scarab]

this is alot of bullshit

an entire firing line just standing there

[tall torrent]

sprint & slide

[near knot]

yes and nothing worked for me, restarting fixes it temporarily but the problem keeps coming back and I just switched to bolt pistol

[tall torrent]

try updating graphics driver

[near knot]

im on the latest one

recently installed

[tall torrent]

ok then idk

[topaz scarab]

then get new graphics card

[tall torrent]

newest for Nvidia is on Dec04

[near knot]

its a game issue

[topaz scarab]

i havent updated my driver alot

it still work decent

[near knot]

i have a 5070 ti bro

[topaz scarab]

oh 5070

[near knot]

i dont need a new gpu

lol

[topaz scarab]

glad i got my 5080 when it was

uh

pre ai clusteruck

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3547365607

try this

[near knot]

i dont have performance issues, its just the bug with plasma gun thats it

[topaz scarab]

oh the plasma gun

yea alot of people been having that

same for me

but then again

i dont use it

i use bolter and auto gun

[near knot]

me neither, not anymore

i use bolt pistol and tbh its better for me

[topaz scarab]

plasma just dont have the respond i need

i dont fancy using melee half my game and wait 3 second to shoot

my auto gun can shred monster and armored just fine

seriously, auto gun is soo good

i can see why most people dont use las gun

litearlly flash light

anyone know how to make good drip out of the poisoner stuff

like, is this even consider good

or do i just look like a zealot

[fair shale]

Do you like it?

[topaz scarab]

its eh

but not like i have a choice

free ware do be kinda shit

[fair shale]

Then its eh

Cosmetics don't mean anything unless you like or dislike em

[grave geyser]

on paper it looks like the bolt pistol mk iv is better than the mk vi in every way; what the hell? what am i missing here?

[uncut ore]

This penance gonna drive me mad

"just run shout + plasma gun you literally can't loose"

I CAN

Scoreboard mod says i'm doing just as good as the rest of my team, or better, but like I can't not die at least 1/10 times while running public games

[hollow ibex]

iv is just better

vi gets an explosion on impact

which generates light stagger and damage

but isn't worth it on vet

[topaz lance]

Been playing exe boltor a bit and was wondering if someone has a build I could compare what I'm doing against.

[pine plume]

Pick arbites

Profit

[uncut ore]

have to pay for arbites

-profit

https://tenor.com/view/broke-no-cash-gif-25565154

[pine plume]

Take out a loan

For 2000% interest

[topaz lance]

with how messed up the hitboxes are at the moment this is gonna be torture no matter the setup

[dreamy spade]

What's the blessings for power sword on havoc? I see power cycler + sunder/bromentum

How much does sunder even increase cleave by? Surely wrath does more?

Also, is mobility dump stat if you're not taking bromentum?

[true jackal]

sunder increases the cleave to like 40

which is more then you will ever need

[pine plume]

And that +20% damage on heavies is juicy

[dreamy spade]

Slaughter does more?

[pine plume]

But you only have 2 blessings slots, and power cycler is a given

[dreamy spade]

Yeah so power cycler + slaughterer?

[true jackal]

slaught gives significantly less cleave then sunder

and the power sword doesn't particularly need damage

[mystic lodge]

Exe stance turns Veteran into this

[true jackal]

again 40 cleave is 40 hit mass of cleave

that's 40 poxwalkers (give or take)

[dreamy spade]

Jesus

[pine plume]

Also sunder is instant

[pine plume]

Which is nice when you're mobbed by 10 rangers

[pine plume]

That's what I have

[tall torrent]

power cycler + BM/sunder is optimal
sunder is way better than wrath, not even close
wrath is at best +250% cleave, sunder is x400% cleave and can cleave through carapace
cleave targets is dump stat

[pine plume]

You can dump cleave because you get cleave from sunder

[tall torrent]

even if u don't run sunder, cleave targets is still the dump stat

10.9 (60% cleave targets) vs 11.7 (80% cleave targets)

u don't cleave any more of things that actually matter

[dreamy spade]

Got it, thank you

What about single target attacks, most of them are horizontal?

[tall torrent]

sunder makes power sword the strongest mixed horde melee in the game

[tall torrent]

push atk -> L4 -> L1

[pine plume]

Isn't it different for the 2 marks?

[tall torrent]

Mk3 is not as good as mk6

But the actual inputs are the same

They just use diff atks

[dreamy spade]

Yeah I wanna run it with weapon specialist to compensate for lack of mobility but the crit modifier for power sword isn't that good

[pine plume]

I'm pretty sure for one of them it's lights and for the other it's heavies into hordes

[tall torrent]

Wdym crit modifier

[pine plume]

Don't remember which is which

[tall torrent]

Crit chance or crit total damage

[dreamy spade]

Crit damage

[tall torrent]

No?

U hit for >5000 damage in 1 atk with all relevant buffs on carapace

[dreamy spade]

Ah yeah, the carapace crit damage is like x5

Everything else is less than double

[tall torrent]

most weapons don't hit double their weakspot total dmg on crit weakspot total

[dreamy spade]

I was just looking at body to crit

[tall torrent]

U do realize this is not energized atks right

[dreamy spade]

I thought they just increase strength, they increase finesse too?

[tall torrent]

Diff atk profiles

[dreamy spade]

Didn't it use to cleave through carapace?

[tame lodge]

By default carapace stops all cleave with a few exceptions

If it USED to

Then damn

What was Fatshark cooking

[tall torrent]

don't remember

but carapace by default ends all cleave on contact

[tepid otter]

Now we just need the same gun like in the art

[unreal nova]

Just use knoife or ds and shout. If you learn to melee, you can even get it at lvl 3.

I saw someone did that, lvl 3, shovel only.

[crimson wyvern]

So happy to see executioner stance make a comeback

So proud of this chat

[azure narwhal]

It's stupid rn anyways tbh, hard to ignore

Melee has never been easier

And with confirmed kill it's pretty much full resistance to chip

You just outgen everything

[dreamy spade]

I'm wondering what competitive urge uptime is like in havoc, it calculates to around 40 enemies killed to proc

[tall torrent]

Not worth most of the time

could try tho

if u smth like power sword + plasma u have ~1 flex point for havoc

it usually comes down between grenadier or right side's +25 TGH

[tepid panther]

Anyone got a bolter build?

[dreamy spade]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0945ff3-4116-469f-a869-e7d8e4ddf8ff/slashy-bashy

Gonna try this, hopefully with all the damage buffs and guaranteed crit, revolver will do it's job in havoc

[tall torrent]

take precision strikes

born leader not rly worth if u don't play exe stance

[dreamy spade]

Really? Weakspot DMG is weak no?

[hollow ibex]

30% is ok

it's the weakspot damage perk you typically want to avoid

[tall torrent]

u have power sword & revolver

[sharp epoch]

teamwork is overrated 🥱

[tepid panther]

For the boltgun is mobility and collateral interchangeable as dump stats?

[tall torrent]

For veteran dump mobility

For z/arb, dump collateral

[tepid panther]

Gotcha.

Are the weapon combos in hammer of the emperor doc still viable?

Because the tact axe one seems odd.

[hollow ibex]

yeh

[hollow ibex]

which one?

[tepid panther]

Mk 7

[hollow ibex]

horde: H L PA
ST: L H L

there's a few ways to go about that one, but those are the combos i use

[topaz scarab]

hes holding an lmg

wheres lmg for veteran fat shark

am tired of these magazine size weapons

[stuck gorge]

LMG that doesn’t require reload so I can waste my entire ammo supply before first exe stance use runs out

[languid stump]

Would other weapons like the melta gun and the grenade launcher be a good addition to the game or not

[stuck gorge]

we already got the rumbler, don’t see why we can’t get one for vet at this point

[near knot]

What is y'all's fav voice for veteran

For me it's cutthroat even though he can be insufferable about cadia but his ability voice lines go hard

[hollow ibex]

cutthroat

hes a bitch and im all for it

[topaz scarab]

which one should i sacrifice

like

i gotta keep one to use

[tame lodge]

Professional

Always reliable everyman

[topaz scarab]

yea

the cutthroat is abit too

well

a cunt

and the the uh

thats the other one again

[tame lodge]

Loose Cannon

[topaz scarab]

yea

hes abit

he doesnt really sound like a guard

[near knot]

Loose Cannon is goofy

[jaunty tinsel]

Professional is the one i run

[topaz scarab]

i think a lossed cannon fit sedition best

not sure i see why profestional would end up in jail

and uh

cut throat

i doubt they would fucking jail a cadian

[strange crow]

Nah loose cannon the goat

[topaz scarab]

whats the best mark for the infantry auto gun

seem like the varks is the best to me

[strange crow]

Vraks highest dps and more meta, but columnus has the upside of being more controllable and has less adm falloff, thus better at longer range

Agri has high damage per bullet but low fire rate and lots of recoil

So usually worse than the other 2

[near knot]

He is my 2nd fav after cutthroat

But he still kinda goofy

[strange crow]

Yeah that’s part of the charm though!

Talks like a true hiver imo lol

[near knot]

Yeah he is the funniest of them

[strange crow]

Just a chill guy yk

https://tenor.com/view/chill-guy-chill-guy-just-a-chill-guy-relax-gif-1579445140409713118

Clear opposite of cutthroat imo

[tall torrent]

cutthroat kinda needs voice modifying helmets to sound right

[near knot]

Cutthroat is everything but chill

[dapper coyote]

Thank you Magis Oblivious

My fav line from loose cannon

[near knot]

THERE IS ONLY WAR

[strange crow]

He’s simply too goated fr

[dapper coyote]

Mf manipulate bodyguard Ogryns on the mission lmao

[strange crow]

Master manipulator

They’re lowk bros though

It’s heartwarming lol

[dapper coyote]

Male Loose Cannon is somewhat trustworthy and having coping issues

Meanwhile female Loose Cannon is just unhinged

[strange crow]

Oh yeah lmao I use male

[jaunty tinsel]

any of those reasons can easily be the product of abuse

insubordination can easily boil down to "the officer doesn't like you"

[near knot]

My fav thing about loose Cannon is he doesn't know any codenames of enemy specialists and just gives up

[strange crow]

The Imperium is supposed to be comically inefficient and nonsensical at times

[jaunty tinsel]

i like to believe my professional was ordered into a suicide assault by a vengeful officer so he broke orders to get it done

[near knot]

Traxis something something... Kill the bomber!

[tall torrent]

[jaunty tinsel]

also sedition is as miniscule as saying "gee maybe the abbott shouldn't be having 5-course gourmet with waste while the people are starving"

like right between the lines it gives that very example

you gotta take this in the context of a North Korea style dictatorship where it comes down entirely down to politics and the personal opinion of your prosecutor; if he/she doesn't like you and you have no political protections, then literally any human error can be used to screw you over

likewise if your prosecutor likes you or you have powerful friends, you can be as Un-Imperial as you like until an Inquisitor shows up

and even then

i see the Professional as basically a Morrow Jr, and Morrow was lucky enough to run into the Inquisition right after fragging a Commissar, the Professional wasn't so lucky

well, technically he was, but you know what i mean

[dapper coyote]

Im playing vet as a zealot at this point lmao

Melee first and maybe use the gun

[topaz scarab]

pretty sure that was always the point

you wont have enough ammo to purge all heretics

[dapper coyote]

Maybe for lasguns, but not for others

Im having laughs whenever i sniped a sniper using fucking DBs

[topaz scarab]

what ever the shotgun 40k have, these are def not 12 gage

[dapper coyote]

Maybe KS23 4 Ga shotguns lmao

[topaz scarab]

hehe, nice

[near knot]

I always thought vet and zealot have way too similar playstyle

[hollow ibex]

eh not really

[topaz scarab]

is the only way to empower stuff is to reach mastery level 20?

[dry cloak]

to 500 yes

[hollow ibex]

i think you can empower up to a certain level early on

but then to 500

you need to get to 19

[topaz scarab]

well that fucking sucks

[hollow ibex]

yeah it's a grind for sure

[dry cloak]

its better than old system

[dapper coyote]

Mom can we have Relic Blade?

We have Relic Blade at home.

Relic Blade at home:

[near knot]

Overall vet is better imo

[floral creek]

Do I need the extra grenade talent when running kraks?

[near knot]

Yes and the grenade recharge talent

[primal zealot]

morrow whacked a commissar ?

[dapper coyote]

Yes

Because corrupted by Khorne

[jaunty tinsel]

the commissar deserved it, he was possessed by khorne yeah

[dapper coyote]

But he didn't know he was corrupted

[jaunty tinsel]

but that's irrelevant to Imperial law

[floral creek]

Yea the commissar was falling into the angry sickness

[jaunty tinsel]

even if he was, it's not morrow's position to do that

[dapper coyote]

True, but Morrow is the guy you can trust

[floral creek]

[dapper coyote]

He pulled a UNO reverse card

[jaunty tinsel]

my point is just that morrow is essentially the professional

if things had gone slightly differently

[hollow ibex]

yeah zealot got kinda cucked lol

[dapper coyote]

I wished Vet gets more zealots melee weapon lmao

Hey everyone gets Hsword, now pls gib one from Zealots armory

[tall torrent]

nah

evis, relic and TH shud stay zealot exclusive

[dapper coyote]

Crushers?

[tall torrent]

they wouldn't even scale well for other classes

crusher is not zealot exclusive anymore

arb gets it too

[dapper coyote]

The big ol mace thingy?

Gib to everyone pls

[tall torrent]

nah

big 2-handed mace isn't rly an imperial guard thing

[dapper coyote]

Fuck

You're right

[tall torrent]

also I finally finished all vet melee weapons in steam guide

falchion so mid

making these 2 was absolutely abysmal

relic blades (TBA later) will prob have to be 2 images for each variant

[topaz scarab]

god why did they make the plasma rifle lag your game bruh

this is soo ass

[tall torrent]

update graphics driver

[topaz scarab]

why

[rustic hemlock]

plasma still cooked?

[woven mirage]

does updating drivers fix plasma gun bug?

[topaz scarab]

the heck does the game do to require a new driver

[rustic hemlock]

lmfao

[topaz scarab]

making an effect requiring a new driver is stupid

like

the game is several years old

[tall torrent]

it did for some people

[topaz scarab]

am not playing battlefied 6 here

[topaz scarab]

what is even the point of that weapon

since theres the axe

or enegy sword

[dapper coyote]

We have Relic Blade at home man

-# literally cope blade lmao

[tame lodge]

To appease a certain public

[primal zealot]

and what public might that be ?

[rustic hemlock]

ok so as dumb as it sounds

updating nvidia actually fixed plasma

lmfao

[stark holly]

I have the plasma issue but I’m on the latest drivers on my amd gpu

[mellow halo]

am I just dumb I'm getting dumpstered with the power sword

gr...

Does plasma gun still want the 71/69 split?

[uneven acorn]

do you have power cycler on it and trench fighter?

[mellow halo]

power cycler 3 bm 4

[uneven acorn]

are y'all waiting in between shots for your lasgun spread to reset or just blasting at max speed

[mellow halo]

I might just be dogshit at the game

[uneven acorn]

ye and the uhh
+10 percent attack speed node in tree
for that it's worth remembering you don't always need to power up your sword

it doesn't do good damage without powering it up but it can kill dregs and stuff

[mellow halo]

ahh ok I should get that

[true fern]

i`m once again asking chat what am i supposed to use on power falchion

[tepid otter]

I got crainial and leakage on it

[true fern]

i`ll try that, im using crainial and heatsink

[azure narwhal]

Cranial + wrath

Make sure to have at least carapace on your perks

[sharp epoch]

im on latest driver 😐

[barren nexus]

Guys ik this might sound dumb

But I see stats such as mobility has 20/60

Do i improve them by upgrading their mastery?

Does the mastery act like a soft lock on the stats

[tall torrent]

Empower to max to get the number on the right

Mastery is basically an unlock track of getting higher tier perks, blessings and allowing u to empower weapon to higher rating

[barren nexus]

Ah so it does act like a softlock but I'd still have to empower them myself to get the rating on the right

[dreamy spade]

The mobility is genuinely shit on the power sword

I take weapon specialist for it

[spiral temple]

Yeah done it will do it again maybe it didn't register

[dreamy spade]

i've found you can animation cancel slightly faster using block

[barren nexus]

guys is this viable

[tepid otter]

I'd roll some more

[final charm]

maybe a mobility dump one but not bad

[remote sonnet]

You want to keep Damage, first target and penetration at 80, defence and mobility can be whatever.

[final charm]

is a 5% difference in penetration noticeable

[remote sonnet]

Yes, because your crit and everything scale with it, too.

[barren nexus]

might as well keep rolling

[dreamy spade]

Is power sword horde attack just L1 L2 L3

[spare cobalt]

does the curio's stamina reduction perk effect deadshot?

[dreamy spade]

Not directly no

[spare cobalt]

got it, thx

[mystic lodge]

What the fuck is with these silent poxbursters

[tepid otter]

sneaky beaky like

[stuck geyser]

plasma gun still destroys fps?

[vale nova]

What's the best weapon for veteran?

[floral creek]

Exclusive?

Plasma gun

Power sword

But that's subjective

[proud jolt]

Gotta say, I'm not a fan of the plasma gun, well that and the meta, I enjoy using the las pistol way more, hits hard and has a million more shots

[floral creek]

The lasguns are always good

Very reliable

[proud jolt]

I did a run with 78k boss dmg with it

Then you have the recon lasgun with 1000 rounds

You just melt everything in sight

I like running the new power sword for vet

I don't like having to constantly activate my weapon every swing so I enjoy the new one more

[floral creek]

Totally understandable

[floral creek]

[proud jolt]

This from my last run

The 74k is boss and the 744 is reg enemies

A fun gun is the revolver, you can make that hit hard

[weary knot]

There is a mod on nexus to fix the plasma problem, anyone tried it ?

[heavy rover]

Helbore

[remote sonnet]

What's plasma problem?

[agile mortar]

Sapper shovel dump stat?

I assume it's mobility

[weary knot]

Plasma Gun performance issues, frame drop while using it.

[remote sonnet]

Oh, I never notice it.

[crude widget]

Alright fellas, I’m finally level 30, what should I do now?

[topaz lance]

Play the game.

Ugh, I take kraks not because I like them but because with the recent patches masses of Crushers/Maulers are one of the most annoying threats in the game. I really hope they do something about the spawn rates/balancing. On top of that, the hivescum tube makes kraks look like firecrakers. Just make frags viable again Fatshark, I'm begging you.

[dense belfry]

aim for Molbility 60% cap.

[wraith locust]

Frags are good

With rotten out of rotation kraks don’t feel as necessary

[topaz lance]

They are! But I've been overwhelmed by a pack of carapace one time too many.
I also play auric mostly. I cannot into high havoc

[wraith locust]

That’s reasonable

[proud jolt]

I like using the shredder grenades

[prime wyvern]

whats a versatile starter melee for vet

[pine plume]

now you can finally play the game

[full salmon]

I wonder what gun do people even use that can deal 1K+ damages on boss in less than a second dude

Those lv30+ players clear the boss so quick I didn't even get chances to join the force 😭

[full salmon]

Prolly duelling sword :p

[pine plume]

Prolly plasma or boltgun or mk5 iag

[full salmon]

Mk5 ?? are those from other classes?

[pine plume]

No

It's a mark

[full salmon]

Even my boltgun can't do that much damage, or just Idk how they refine and rebless their weapons

[azure narwhal]

Melee is almost always going to be your go to for monstrosities, and there are plenty of ways to do it, power sword for example is an infamous vet boss killer

Well it's the best vet weapon in general but

You get the point

[full salmon]

The stats of those weapon tell me heavy attack of Duelling sword dealing more damage than either powerswordd or axe but someone they manage to outdamage duelling sword

I just find it confusing as hell

[azure narwhal]

There is a lot of modifiers to read into you, you'd have to take your time learning how damage is calculated

[wraith locust]

Shovel

[azure narwhal]

So in conclusion

Just test stuff yourself

[wraith locust]

Or Rashad

[prime wyvern]

mmh shovel
