With what I got, I can 3 tap crusher in head
Auric?
Yes
Vet have ping button damage buff
If you manage to have 6 buffs + ping crusher with 6 debuffs at the same time, bolt pistol 3 taps it
Considering that not only you would damage it, you can easily just 1 tap it
Yes, but how would you deal with 10 of them?
Well.. grenade
But really, the Bistol is more a specialist hunter gun. But it's not havoc so whatever is fine for you.
I mean, yes, but I can do more damage to crushers with that thing and other stuff is already die from 1-2 shots
cleave targets
Isn't cleave useful?
Dayum
it doesn't have infinite cleave
10.9 vs 11.7, difference is negligible
I just got 60% mobility sword
Activated cleave is still mega high
wouldn't call either 10.9 or 11.7 mega high either
Did they fix the plasma stutter yet?
you better hope they make a patch this week or you won't be able to play with plasma for a month
How nowdays ppl farm plasteel?
ation

hello vets
did the patch fix plasma gun?
dang
Can't wait to suddenly see a bunch of psyker dies
HAHAH, MY BULLSHIT CL-
should have yes
they forgor to add it to patch notes but have updated them now
psykers just do the meme:
Blows up mind with pancake,
Muh fucking pancake.
- Psykers mind goes pop instead lmao
I like to do mortis trails for my farm
Usually i play havoc atleast one match regardless of the level, low or not then aurics
I left a commnt and they added that
So yes it's fixed now
I really wish you could prestige classes
Just get true level mod
Xbox player
Rip
niiice
like the most important fix of them all lol
Vet players when they can't use Plasma Gun for 1 week:
Didn't see a fix for plasma tanking frames
Pretty sure hotfix isn't out yet? Didn't get it on Steam.
I just read the notes
There is a fix, at least the forum thread.
I purposely overheat it to bomb heretics. ๐
It does show now
Fixed performance issues related to the overheat/peril gain/loss in certain weapons.
Aah, it was just vague
Has anyone else encountered a problem with guns still firing even if the trigger was released or automatically firing when exiting ADS?
Is Recon Lasgun - Accatran Mk XIV good for horde clearing?
I don't think any ranged weapon is worth to shoot at hordes on vet
Plasma, to get to the trapper.
Or ranged elites.
That's shooting through the horde, not at a horde!!!
You should not shoot hordes in general
Shotguns
Technicalities. Just make sure you kill an elite with it. XD
Actually true but only double barrel
The rest would be trolling imo
I mean in general it depends on what kinda horde we talking about
I mean sometimes free crit from zarona hipfire is nice for quick softening if you are alone for whatever reason
Horde enenies as in pox wslkers and infected people
Because basic melee units are ,,bruisers,,
Or usually refered to as such
shooting just base poxies? manstopper db yeah
manstopper zarona as well if you are running tat
Sooo fun
Hipfire splash target and aiming down good for single targets
I should consider doing combat shotgun + axe as my second loadout
was this not just about the staves not causing peril explosions?
My main loadout is hellbore lasgun + shovel with shredder
ngl, the combat shotguns have pretty damn good boss damage
So second is combat shotgun + axe with krak?
can run any grenade in that set up, if you are comfortable at dealing with carapce with an axe
Okay is Recon Lasgun Accatran Mk XIV a good gun in general?
There's 2 lines now in the post
Fixed majority of weapon and ability overheat/peril explosion not working.
Fixed performance issues related to the overheat/peril gain/loss in certain weapons
Is that the fast firing one?
Yup
Then yes
I do use Combat Shotgun in H40
Love shooting behind burgles
I'd assume you wouldn't want to use any combat shotgun other than agri xddd
When it comes to combat shotties. You want either agrippina or zarona. Accatran is for mad men
zarona's a bit less is still very good
On h40 sure. On damnation i can use everything
My skill has fallen
On damnation you can do grenade only run xddd
Simpky because i dont have that much time to play than before
I value fun higher than in game resources
I think my shotgun is agrippina
rip the fire wall hack shotgun
Does it load a slug shot upon using special?
Can you guys suggest a melee weapon to compliment the Recon Lasgun
I dont know. At least i think when i used special it didnt spit fire or explode shell
I have done only one run with it
power sword is the boring answer
Combat axe
I mean at least i want to do thematic without gimping myself too much. Hence the kriegsman hellbore + shovel
And now Krieg combat engineer shotgun + axe
Any specific variant ?
rashad for combat axe
Which weapon combo is the best for veteran?
Depend on your playstyle
Is power sword that good?
"brokey" meaning its OP
with the sunder blessing while active thing has like 40 cleave (that's about 40 pox walkers) and will kill most of them in that one swing
and can kill crushers very quickly
the only thing it somewhat sacrifices is mobility (and fun becuase you have to spam the activate)
So I can use that with recon lasgun aswell right
can use it with anything, I don't, as I don't find it a fun weapon to us at all
activate heavy heavy
activate heavy heavy
over and over
Thematic buulds are fine and dandy but after some time you will play with every weapon available
Dont worry it'll be a good bit before i run out of loadout ideas Kreigsmen can have. Especially with the codex giving them a good list of wargear.
Eventually ill do chainsword and power sword but i would like it if there was an officer costume to go with them ๐คช
My vet is based on Polands best soldiers parody
Chainsword is often used by people as a tool iirc
it is a chainsaw
its a very very reliable chainsaw that can cut thru metal
The only thing that isnt in game for veteran are flamer and meltagun right?
missing hellguns (or w/e the automatic heavy lasgun that normal troppers use is), heavy stubbers, and those
and a bunch of melee weapons
Yeah in codex Death Korps get just about what the veteran have access to
What about "long-las"? Which is well a sniper version
oh yeah that too
Cant wait to get my hand on a boltgun
Oh grenade launcher too but you know thats taking away from Ogryn
Can anyone tell me rashad combos?
light for horde
heavy for not horde
"Death Korps Watchmaster may replace their laspistol and chainsword with 1 boltgun and 1 close combat weapon"
Hell yeah, NCOs and they dress same as their squad mates
incredibly
Shovel gud
Crazy single-target damage by spamming push attack but not the best horde clear
It's still better than DS horde clear lol
DS?
Ah which the Krieg cavalry sword is a skin for
Good to know. Lol you would think the dueling sword would be better at hitting several targets than the combat knife just because of its reach
if you want both good single target and horde clear, taxe isn't a bad choice
You can "fix" it with talents even though this won't ever really matter that much, but just for info, weapon specialist + serrated blade pretty much fills in that gap
The bleed paired with the att speed does the job for you
never crit damage
crit damage gives you a laughably minimal amount of damage. it's an additive 10% so it ends up really being less than like 3% more damage
go with carapace unyielding for psword, or carapace maniac
Additive ooof
yeahhh the crit damage perk is buttcheeks
only time I ever take crit dmg is on a blessing, the bolt pistol
carayielding
What's the most up to date talent builder online?
what are these translations ๐ญ
and take sunder or brutal momentum
as the second blessing after pc
5 rubles
Why?
they're both stronger
sunder lets you wreck mixed hordes by vastly increasing your cleave
Thank you
brumentum lets you kill more per swing on normal hordes
Sunders cleave effect is what matters
Prob sunder overall
Though I prefer brutal momentum
Anyway, what stat to suffer on Kantrael? Also, what about tunes and skills?
Mobility
Why do you want to hurt yourself
I played up to Orthus update with it and feel fine
Only now I use bolt pistol bc it nice
Orthus update was ages ago
Ilas now if a weapon on madmen and the clueless
Ifnyou want similiar experience go with graia vigi
Seriosly
not on lughts out
the convenient and accessible full auto mod
๐
If you want to use las weapons helbore andnrecon lasgun are rihht there
If someone wants to mod. Sure
real talk, that should be an accessiblity setting not a mod that you have to download
Ehem...
Agreed
Anyway back to gun
What to use on tunes and skills?
I have flak + carapace
But I think better would be unyielding or maniac instead of carapace
carapace unyielding
Yeah
oh then yea flak unyielding
did they patch the plasma bug?
naw
Flak/unyielding flak/unarmored flak/maniac
should be
sadge ๐ญ
why would you do 25% unarmored
Yes they updated their patch notes to say so
Idk it used to help with 1 shotting dreg gunnes
dreg gunner breakpoint prob
oh makes sense
aight ill read them then
And dreg shooter body shots too
I just do flak unyielding for like 90% of my guns besides a select few
And what skills? I have Headhunter + Deadly Accurate, this was top on it long ago
like carayielding is nice on helbore
yeah that feels like a maybe knowing its them we are talking about but ill give it a shot to make sure
Yeeeeeeeee, look at this man, peak fr
I really want the commissar hat in rotation
because I wanna do a chainsword bolt pistol build
Report back
You can do that without premium clothes
yeah but it's not the same
if I'm gonna 40k nerd out as an imperial guard commissar I wanna 40k nerd out as an imperial guard commissar
Sunder extra cleave works on all energized attacks
Sunder extra heavy damage only works on heavy attacks
Currently you have no reason to use heavies on Psword 6
Well, I tested it and find cool
But man.. I want my flashlight being not meme

Not to discourage you but any commisar cosplayer was insufferable jerk that though he could order rest of the team around
At least i can nerd out as a Kreig. Kreig Watchmaster (NCO) use chainsword and pistol as base wargear.
eh krieg cosplayers are insufferable too but I take krieg to a bunch of my missions anyway
is watchmaster a part of the sets?
They dress same as the rank and file grunt
Rule of being a "leader" for combat unit; dont stand out from your subordinates
Of course kreig officers and commisars get to stand out a bit
(probably because they survived too long that they were hoping to die gloriously in battle quickly for The Emperor)
Unless you're Mordian ๐
Which one?
Lowest common denominator faction
Generally, if your aim is good ilas isn't as bad of a time as ppl need it to be.
Too busy making shovel memes to learn the game
i figure its cus the shovel n helbore require more from the player than most weapons
That too
I suppose. Shovel is easy enough to understand. Helbore takes a sec to adjust to but it's not a straight ballbust
srsly tho i groan very loudly every time i get a rando krieg larper cus 9/10 times im gonna be scraping them off the floor repeatedly
Its a lowest common denominator faction, a lot of people like them.
The more people that are in a sorta filter the more bad ones you'll experience
yea that too
Kantrael Mod IX
I'm old man
Damn.. I need to make 2 other lasguns god rolls too..
๐
Cant you just switch the marks ๐
^
No, I mean Helbore and Accatran
Ohh
Helbore not even 10lvl
If your rich it can be forced max lvl
Only my Kantrael 18 bc I played a lot with it before update
I think I can use it nowdays too
Luckily helbore is cracked and recon is pretty good (also easy to pick up)
Even tho I understand Bolt Pistol or Luk is better
I mean yeah it's still def usable, but it used to be one of vet's best ranged back in the day
I never understood Accatran lasgun
Wym?
Like, ammo efficiency is ass
You spray and pray
Maybe I'm stupid or use bad skills
Have to build crit and use talent that saves ammo on crit
I'm not entirely sure why you'd go the recon over the infantry las tbh
If recon did the same damage per shot as infantry, it'd be pretty spooky lmao
Kantrael can still put in work. The issue is often the pilot, narrow mark choices and the inevitability of havoc outpacing ilas. Before that? Totally fine.
The lies need to stop and people need to dig back in and land their headshots.
That's pretty much it lowk
Yeh we're, or at least I'm, saying the kantrael is better than the recon las
You can spray and pray, but being deliberate > indiscriminate. Most just exhaust its ammo by going full auto so frequently that they're not managing that situation at all. What is there to manage when someone is magdumping every other chance they get yk?
I mean if you are shooting at hordes sure
you ads and thing is laser accurate, aim at heads
I almost never care for better or worse and just stick to what the weapon is directly capable of. If I had to entertain it, recon goes much further as a weapon by comparison in my experience. Eventually things get to a point where the recon lasgun ends up doing more for less effort, even with more ads play happening in the moment. It can light up monstrocities, it can burn pockets into hordes where needed, it can shred most specials and some elites in a passable amount of time, etc.
kills groups of shooters way faster then the infantry
Do all lasguns pierce horde enemies or just the infantry?
man its too bad this shotgun pattern
only mk xiv recon las has any meaningful cleave
Good question idr.
the Lucius Mark 22c can't be a mere skin for combat shotgun
I was testing builds in the arena and noticed the slow firing kantrael was piercing like, 3ish of the poxwalkers
Iunno, I've rocked the kantrael since launch and the only thing I have issue with is carapace ogyrns
they only have 1.5 cleave
so maybe one groaner
If we're including havoc though, this is def not the case
ilas is just kinda ass in general
I'm not, I use Kantrael
Yknow what would be fun? Lasguns in lore can kinda 'bore' through stuff if you keep shooting the same spot, imagine a machanic on recons where if you hit the same spot a couple times in a row it does a bit of burst damage
Make them decent vs carapace if you can aim
i guess that's what brittleness is supposed to represent through something like onslaught for example
otherwise prob too complex of a mechanic for the game atm
Ppl would hate lasguns being strong
that's kinda what the hot shot lasgun is; more power to keep the "shot" on hit impact longer
not rly. it would just be like relentless strikes
i mean he's asking for the game to keep track of damage to specific parts of armor, which is definitely not something the engine supports rn
relentless strikes is like onslaught
an abstraction
I mean they track where bullets hit currently
Its how they do the damage model
Uhh revolver is the best vet ranged outside of havoc and vigilant autogun is one of the best for havoc
Why? If you shoot you expose flesh or bones and they not get protected by armour
that's completely visual
means nothing
I remember that mauler not get armour bonus after I exposed one of his part
Bolt pistol and Bolter literally exists
Also Plasma
Still revolver is up there
With plasma loosing some ground because of heslth buffs
And helbores getting biggest buff in theyre life. Proper ironsights
Reloading without speed reloader is ass
Simply dont miss and kill everything first, then you've got loads of time to reload
Thats where weapon specialist comes in
I would do Helbore
But need to end Kantrael first
Bolt Pistol can do same and reload whole mag
Bolt pistol is generally considered a worse revolver, and boltgun has much more niche application
Sidegrade not worse
Iunno, boltgun has always seemed kinda goated to me
Horde disruption, anti-armour, long range
But on auric it still pretty much 1 tap everything in a head, and if it's not, you have ping button for damage buff
If you you focus target that is
Not everyone is using that
Well, there's keystone and executioner stance
And lasguns get better results from marksmans focus
The first is not something you generally rely on vet ranged for and the other two are done better by revolver. Boltgun in havoc is also only is good at anti-armor if you dump an absurd amount of talent points for it
Indeed, I use bolt pistol and bolter with commander voice
I wouldnt say better. I get much better result from bolter if im going shooty vet.
Bolter is really good with exestance
Well, almsot anything better with it, bc all guns begin to 1 shot in head almost anything
Not all and some guns get zero benefit from exe stance
Well, I use only Lasguns and Bolters, so for me, it's anything

Anything implies whole of arsenal vet has acces to
Well yeah another benefit of revolver is you can run hybrid builds with it because it's much more potent for less investment. Boltgun on the other hand requires heavier ranged spec and has worse ammo sustain
Eh depends. Because i have more.trouble stsying topped up on revolver than boltgun.
And as expected revolver is gonna be much better sidearm than bolter
Always prepared solves that quite easily
And fits hybrid builds obv
I mean total ammo. Not in mag
I kinda go the same build every time, which is mostly crit + weakspot damage + toughness regen on ranged kill. I always go exe stance. When I go boltgun with it, it mostly just means everything not wearing carapace dies in 1 headshot or 2 body shots, and anything with carapace dies in less than a clip
Bosses I just mag dump and it normally works out fine
im told weakspot damage is worse than it looks on paper due to how its damage calculation is handled
That would be correct
Well I've already got all the other crit damage and ranged damage talents/blessings
So outside of melee talents, which I don't really use for anything besides poxwalkers that get close to me, I don't see what else I'd pick
Thing is revolver can generally do the same for less spec
With dual wielding being a thing I'd like it if they went back and changed how all the pistols worked
Like if I could use a melee and ranged weapon at the same time 'cuse its a tiny revolver, I'd use that thing a lot more
You pretty much can, just run one motion
HAHAHA get those thoughs down and to the trash it aint happening
It was a thing in Vermintide right?
the very very fast swap speed is ment to some what represent it
Eh, I don't like swapping. Plus, dual wielding melee and ranged is such a big thing in 40k, even for guardsman
I don't see a problem with it
Isn't it like 1 button press to swap your weapon?
The proble. Is game engine and second how tide game work
We here want many different things but those are very limites
Soni remember ,,Hope is the first on the road to dissapointment,,
It cud work like that in this game too tbh
Wouldnโt mind it
how is the boltgun used?
so melee for the normal horde units?
Snipe elites
Unless you're ranged hivescum or running a flamer/inferno staff you don't wanna waste ammo on hordes
Lowk gets mogged by other weapons in that regard though
Nah
15 shots of fuck you
Yeah lol
More if you have the perk
Its only 4 extra shots
I used it as a sniper and worked better than other weapons
In the time it takes u to get the bolter out other weapons have already killed an elite
it's worse at quick snipping them
Need to check vigis again after buffs that were givd in bound by duty
good at taking them out
Yeah
Exe stance helps other weapons just as much though
Helbore generally is the best special sniper vet has rn
And vigilant autogun has much better ammo sustain
You dont have to tell me things i knoe
I think itโs vig auto 3 tbh, if u discount stuff like revolver/plasma
Fair enough lol, but I think we can agree both are better than boltgun
Boltgun is diff playstyle
That's what I'm saying
Itโs not bad at sniping
Yeah but that's not its focus
It kinda is?
Wym?
Ur obviously gonna go for 1 taps on gunners and specials in the first place with it
It just happens to be a gun that also can do mixed horde
Well yeah obv but doesn't that require more talent point spec than the other ones mentioned?
Boltgun in general requires more talent spec
Itโs around the same cost as helbore
Fair enough
Time to spend every night trying to get H35 and a downless run before it gets fixed
hive scum only dodge run
as the tooltip said its great at crowd control
you can hit several people, light attack is fast
and you can push them back in defense
beside the cosplay aspect, I really enjoy swinging that shovel in light attack constantly
Blessing stick
And the bonk SFX gaslight them into thinking it's good
Pavlov's Shovel
hey I really like it. Are there any better melee at early levels for crowd control? ๐
Yeah
Chainsword
Combat Axe
Heavy Sword
Chainsword poxxers performance is pretty good
Combat Axe and Heavy Sword will just kill 4-5 of them in a single hit
But remember
It is ok to like mid things
Even Krieg
There was this one veteran with Krieg cosmetics
That I kid you not
He'd just press W
He wasn't bad when it comes to melee and shit
But he'd just press w towards gunners
We had to revive him like 15 thousand times
He was living the Krieg rp
the Meme Krieg rp
Real Krieg RP? Map would be dead as soon as he looked at the heretics 
"Suffer No Traitor, Heretic, and Cultist to live!"
quick question. when do veterns unlock assault chainswords?
you can check in the armory
I feel like krak grenades are the default pick for most vet builds
Mhm
well that's an easy switch on my talent build
i'm 50/50 between the two blitzes prob
I don't like the frags
Every time I try frags their performance seems rather weak for chaff
1 frag = stagger
2 frag = kill hordes/mixed hordes
frags can be very powerful
and you get a lot of them
That's kinda annoying though
You gotta toss one and then switch back and throw another just for some chaff mobs
I have my blitz set to switch back to my last weapon after a throw
Bro you can see in that clip that you had to immediately switch back to the blitz lmao
I'm not downloading a mod just for frags lol
ok your call
the point is that it's a powerful, regenerating blitz
turns out AOE DOTs are really good
who would've thunk
That you need two of to do anything lmao
In high havoc isnt 2 frags not kill horde
so its all good, no issue?
which you can get back in short order. what's the problem?
crazy how times change
everyone used to know that frags were amazing
now i have to explain to people why frags are good
jfc
I'd rather just have a krak
I don't really need them too
I need it to blow up the gang of crushers that spawn in
Usually just using a melee like the shovel to keep swarm enemies off me is enough and someone else on my team will clean them up
kraks and frags are good at two different things
just take whatever's best for your build
both are great
I would assume each bleed stack does a set amount of damage
So it caps at a certain point?
Is bleed chip damage any good for dealing with armor
bleed is good against anything other than carapace
unless you have a lot of rending
there are caps on all DOTs
what is the best vet build currently?
Plasma gun power sword with shout or executioner stance
ty
whatโs the dump for plasma?
Its different then other but they said perfect is 69 thermal, 71 charge rate
I think 68 thermal, 72 charge rate works too
The overall damage will be quadratic since the damage per tick goes up (approximately) linearly, but the number of ticks of damage also goes up.
This is mostly on relevant if you apply a bunch of stacks and run away though. If you are constantly fighting the enemy, you will probably be applying fresh stacks constantly
ty this helps
I mean if you wanted to be meta then you'd take reciprocity, desperado, skirmisher, and exploit weakness (bottom right of the tree, below infiltrate ability)
Those will boost your damage a ton
To do that you'd drop the keystone modifier, rending strikes, opening salvo, longshot, and out for blood
Also for helbore you def want shock trooper over kill zone
Shock trooper gives you crazy ammo sustain if you take surgical blessing on helbore
hmm
I really like db vet
very fun playstyle
feels very smooth (when ur inputs actually work)
i might try a recon lasgun ranged heavy setup
that sounds fun
DB is fun, and as boring as other ppl say it is I find recon pretty satisfying
I don't like it cause it has no feeling, personally
I mean I'm gonna get a recon for variety
You do get effectively infinite ammo tho
yeah that's why im going for it
plus ive got a bunch of autoguns on my zealot already
"We have hivescum at home" ahh
i assume recon just dumps mobi?
Collateral
Yeah, iirc the good variant doesn't pen anyway
dump ammo because u have infinite anyway 
DB playstyle is super fun, but it's also pretty involved
i need a brain off keyboard dribbler setup for when i cant be bothered
recon las? is stability still a good choice for dump stat as well?
cleave damage a good dump?
no, Cleave Targets is prefered
thx
Iโve had a lot more fun with the power falchion compared to power sword
Whatโs the dump stat for falchion
Why'd you drop iron will? Also note that demo team is gonna do a lot more for you and the team than leave no one behind
Gonna give you significantly more kraks that can help prevent teammates from going down in the first place
duty of honor for Iron Will
what weps?
He said helbore and shovel earlier
shovel or any other melee
Iron will is pretty much non-negotiable if you want an optimized build, def take it over the 5 extra stacks of marksman focus
yeah prob drop the 15 stacks to take iron will
One in 20 kills on average over like 2k kills a game is quite a lot
Plus as you get to higher and higher difficulties it will do more for you
but only off elite/specialist targets
Thereโs still quite a lot of elite / specials in that number
you will easily throw 60 or 70 nades with that talent if you're throwing them off cooldown
Also if youโre using kraks to kill armored targets
Thatโs gonna refund it self a quite few times
if you want res speed you can put it on your curios
Res speed chart for vet
well LNOB has other benefits beside revive speed
Which only proc when your teammates are downed
Banking on your teammates going down is not as optimal as preventing them from going down in the first place by blasting crushers
I thought the dumpstat for las weapons is pretty much always stability since there is minimal recoil. Why do almost all of the guides on gameslantern say to dump mobility for infantry lasgun
Because Gameslantern is not a reliable source
the stat that should be 60%
ah
should plasma charge rate be dump stat or
heh, 69
20 elite/special kills
U donโt get 1 every 20 kills
Not getting avg of 2k per game thatโs for sure
Itโs meh
If ur broke look for thermal dump
is this consider good
Not rly
Again, get a thermal dump one if ur broke
Charge rate makes ur shots be fired faster
?
I want to run infiltrate more but I just find way more trouble finding a use case for it over shroud on zealot
all those innate backstab bonuses do more than anything in the entire vet tree I feel to make it feel useful
i think every class out do veteran
you want wave clearing, zeolet or syker
you want high damge, those two too
veteran just seem
usless
Because it sucks
And got cucked
when you carry both krak grenade and plasma gun to kill those armored enemy, only for the zeolet to bonk them with his hammer
then i just ask my self, why even obther
veteran has the best direct team support stuff, their ranged specialization is still goodeven with pickpocket and dseperado on hive scum, they get good stuff but they're more an all rounder with room to sepcialize alot in guns or a bit into melee
yea psyker giga op
but vet is basically 2nd best class
just wish they could become a deamon host if they use too much of their ability
zealot get better feel stuff I feel that benefits from the positioning stuff of stealth that would want to run stealth over the dash or shout, while in vet I'd rather just be running shout unless i'm running a specific gun build
vet is quite a bit higher dmg than zealot
lol
thunder hammer is alot of fun but its hard to compete with big ranged
thunder hammer does 1 thing well and sucks horribly in everything else
the anti sapper shovel
shovel is a ton of fun and excels in everything but raw damage
duelling sword pretty op yea
compared to sm2 thunder hammer, yes
I don't think my ass is ready to speedrun Havoc 35
This was just an Auric H-I STG and I got doodled like a French girl and canoodled like one, too; died twice
also bonking stuff in one hit is great, except there's other weapons that can 2 hit and also do decently vs multiple targets 
TH's 1 taps are not actually good
shovel has good stamina, good sprinting and dodge (rip being able to get that extra point of dodge), strong blessings, good stagger with hte special being able to poke mutants out of their charge which is alot of fun, should be nice cleave, and is very easy to use, it just has low damage
if it was good at 1 taps I wouldn't be calling it ass
but it's not even good at 1 taps
Too much of a gimmick weapon ime
I just wish every class got executioner sword as a universal.
Is that too much to ask?
i just dont understand why stealth and smoke nades cant just work like how they do with bardin in vermie

smokes are okay but infiltrate is literally useless
make the third grenade a remote detonate melta bomb like in sm2 maybe, idk.
very high damage very small radius ig
yes that's kind of kraks but kraks are specifically anti armor and home in on everything idk
idk i just dont get why the third ult for vet needs to be so bad and why havent they changed it
is there a veteran build where you can stay on plasma most of the time like how recon lasgun shocktrooper is, or is plasma just relegated to killing range elite/special then back to melee?
stealth bomber is funny but yeah stealth doesn't really have synergies otherwise
nope plasma ammo econ is not great
its also functionally identical to zealot's stealth, the only difference is random stats
zealot stealth plays very differently
not ime
and actually has a meaningful playstyle
big sadge

it comes off cd way faster
is way shorter
doesn't give anywhere near as much toughness regen
and zealot actually has backstab synergies
two very different implementations of stealth
Is covert operative worth it?
it's trash
Thanks, the +30% damage seemed tempting but would probably only work if allies drew aggro right
Is lock and load worth it for bolter?
Is weapon specialist better for bolter and plasma builds?
Since both have low uptime, gonna be using melee a lot
Ok, yeah that tracks.
So focus target instead for bolter?
or mmf yeah
Why is mmf good on bolter?
bolter already has good finesse and MMF buffs finesse
finesse is crit/weakspot damage
FT is good too because it's just damage
Yeah but it feels like it wants me to be less mobile, and then I canโt keep up with the team
Not sure how to make it work
run with a high mobility melee like tactical axe
and swap between them as needed
usually i snipe with the bolter for a while and when the team moves up, i move up with them
Yeah Iโd continue running FT, seems more versatile
Thanks for the tips
You can also keep exe up in melee
How do you do this picks
mmmf~ yeah~

Do Onslaught proc with melee weapons?
1 stack brittle per melee is basically useless
Only works on light spam knoife.
So it can be proc then?
Just curious
So... lul.
Yes
Just not enough to be useful in any capacity
I cannot begin to list the problems with this statement
Uncanny, I know.
Is just, that's one of the fastest aspd melee vet has to apply it.
And if you managed to be unlucky enough that you did 0 crits.
In melee
Wasn't this about applying onslaught in melee?
I know, but this is a, what if thing.
Is the assault chainsword considered good? I feel like Iโm struggling with it
Meh.
Thatโs a shame, itโs cool
pretty good against hordes, bad against cara still
Basically meh when the meta is 500 armoured in your face.
I put the +25% damage against flak and carapace on and bloodletter but it still doesnโt do much
So what is a good weapon for heresy and above then?
Anything, but you must have a gun that can delete armoured if your melee can't.
Or kraks.
Anything goes below Havoc 25 tbh.
Then spec it to shatter armoured when out of kraks.
Because chainsword really sucks on armoured.
What melee weapon do you guys think the guards on the Morningstar use
Is that the brittleness one?
Do not onslaught.
Shattering pinning might work.
I don't remember since I dislike the pull out time on it.
But you need the maxed blessings first.
Look at my veteran take on one of the guards on the Morningstar
Fellow lasgun enthusiast
I wanted to try it
Prepare to be dissapointed
Don't listen to him
Correct
What
He just "non-beliver"
I believe in ogryn supremacy
Flashlights are bestlights
What skills are needed on Accatran lasgun?
I dont use recon lasgun?
Reccy or what?
Recon lasgun
I know ogryn is strongest but sometimes its about strategy
The strategy is i keep them from you
And i take them at range
Im a ogryn player but sometimes I like to yell at people with my veteran ability
Is funny
Colour?
Is it blu, green or brown?
I dunno, what is better?
Oh you mean the color of the gun
I thought you meant the color of the Lazer
Blu is funni boss delete but ammo inefficient and wait for things to burn to death. Green is tryhard, most ammo efficient of the three, can kill without waiting to burnout yet still shoots fast enough to shred bosses, also doesn't suffer the downsides of slow reload and slow pullout of the blu. Brown is more damage, but at 1.5x damage for 2 bullets per shot with minor cleave. You want to go in on damage for this but is really only for non-havocs.
Mark 6c
I have rn skills of +50% dps in weakspot and +5% crit chance on weak spot stack to 5
chillin
Weakspot damage sucks. It double sucks on recon cos recon has bad weakspot damage.
So what I use?
I talk about blessings
.
That's perks.
No, that's blessings
Use flak/unyielding and crit chance.
Perks.
Blessings is dumdum and infernus for blu/green.
I'm going by the actual English ver of the game. IDK how they translated it
This two exactly the same
Yes.
Don't bother.
K
Thing is, recon lacks the finesse of the other lasguns. It's crits is also meh and only there to support the ammo efficiency.
Yeah, cos all three has same mark name but diff numbers. Is usually easier to ask for colour unless colourblind to another level. Brown might be red, but to me, is brown.
Well, I think it would be good for that stupid 2,500 enemy penance
It is, just not for the WS one.
what vet build we like
whats the weapons for this
nothing specific, you can run whatever
but meta options are psword and rashad
with revolver/plasma/double barrel
Yes
Don't use it with recon basically. Recon is keystoneless or the other two.
How do you take a picture of the whole skill tree anyway
Yep, the removal of auto generating stacks made it more painful.
I have easiest and most tedious penances left
750 suppressed enemies (631 done), 7,500 shield regen (6,336 done), 2,500 bullshit, 500 grenade kills, smoke grenade and WS (31/250)
which power sword mark is better?
Shout just happens over time. Spam it. Invis suppression just spam in melee as long they aren't infected poxxers.
Mk6 by a long shot
Vet's best melee
Krak kills is much better now. It was PAINFUL before krak buff.
Yeah
It's almost like everyone was waiting on kraks to be viable lol
I barely see frags
Even less so smokes even though smokes are also good
I know, ppl question my frags.
I trust them still 0 damage taken 300 ping damnation clutch go.
Pick to complement your weapons.
Yep
Situation too
Smart smoke vet is great to have in havoc
Also nice if you roll bad this event.
This is pain

Also, what stat to dump on Accatran lasgun?
Collat?
Yeah.
All marks.
There is only one niche for mobility dump, and that's stagger tox bombers if you start shooting the moment they start the pull out to throw animation.
But it's too unlikely so...
Gun store sell one god roll
But my plasteel vent dry
Financial crisis
gotta say i did not expect the dclaw to feel so solid on this class
Just buy and fav.
Upgrade when you can afford.
I know..
Btw, Accatran is very fun
Like
You are crackhead
Just press lmb and never release
Can anyone suggest a good Infiltrate build for Veteran
I know it is. I have a nonsensical build just to spray pew pews at everything.
Anything to go fast since you are carrying batteries and such.
If no oggy or not safe for oggy.
I have no idea what this means
Still new to game
I take both the regen nade talents with shredder nades+uncannystike knife if I'm doing infiltrate. knife goes fast, rending helps the bleed from your nades kill everything fast
still gives tons of room for whichever keystone and ranged weapon you're comfy with, but I still take the talents near Weapon specialist even though its my least favorite keystone
Stealth means you are planning to do objectives.
So carrying batteries safely and such.
Okay
best used for pressing E on something or someone, but still nice for general use. the damage alone is not worth running it
Tbh I was going for the armour, says I need to suppress 750 enemies using Infiltrate
@vale nova sirosky likes this, I don't use it so I cannot speak to the effectiveness
Then run a melee build, just jumpscare things and stabstab.
that penance completes itself in like 2 missions as long as you're using your ability
Anything that doesn't have tentacles or aren't rotten will be suppressed.
Even if they don't show it.
Don't ask me how FS codes it.
By rotten, I mean the pox zombies.
if you're doing the penance for the krak nade make sure you're throwing your kraks into crowds of smaller flak enemies. anything with flak counts as armored for the krak grenade penance, and it takes a long time if you're only throwing it at elites.
Nice
Got it
Thx bro
No problem
Any cool new vet cosmetics from aquila shop yet?
Right right
With what better to do WS penance? Bolt Pistol?
Or just bolter
Bistol or Revolver.
Revolver if you play higher diffs cos you need the 1 shot crit weakspot beeakpoint.
I would do that on heresy, I'm not madman
Bc this is just tedious thing
You can test in psykhanium anyway.
Get 3 melee kills, swap and shoot something.
You want to try to get as many 1 shots in head before going for it.
Shiet you don't even need 3 kills cause the base crit chance on revolver is already so high
Revolver needs 1 if built for it.
Ya just the 1 tho
