I don't like it though so you need to ask someone else on it.

maiden vector
#

With what I got, I can 3 tap crusher in head

unreal nova
maiden vector
#

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

Pls don't run CRIT damage and weakspot.

They're both bad.

cleave targets

maiden vector
#

Isn't cleave useful?

You only use it activated which has infinite cleave

#

So it doesn't matter

Vet players when they can't use Plasma Gun for 1 week:

hybrid flame
#

Didn't see a fix for plasma tanking frames

unreal nova
hybrid flame
#

I just read the notes

unreal nova
#

There is a fix, at least the forum thread.

lyric bramble
trim badger
#

Fixed performance issues related to the overheat/peril gain/loss in certain weapons.

hybrid flame
#

Aah, it was just vague

verbal osprey
#

Has anyone else encountered a problem with guns still firing even if the trigger was released or automatically firing when exiting ADS?

vale nova
#

Is Recon Lasgun - Accatran Mk XIV good for horde clearing?

trim badger
#

I don't think any ranged weapon is worth to shoot at hordes on vet

unreal nova
#

Or ranged elites.

trim badger
dry cloak
unreal nova
dry cloak
#

Especially with db

#

Use 2 ammo delete horde

#

Just make sure you have manstopper

trim badger
#

The rest would be trolling imo

true jackal
#

I mean in general it depends on what kinda horde we talking about

dry cloak
#

I mean sometimes free crit from zarona hipfire is nice for quick softening if you are alone for whatever reason

dry cloak
#

Because basic melee units are ,,bruisers,,

#

Or usually refered to as such

true jackal
#

shooting just base poxies? manstopper db yeah

#

manstopper zarona as well if you are running tat

mystic pilot
#

Hipfire splash target and aiming down good for single targets

#

I should consider doing combat shotgun + axe as my second loadout

dry cloak
#

Just remeber to take kraks

#

They save asses and boost your boss damage

upper dock
mystic pilot
#

My main loadout is hellbore lasgun + shovel with shredder

true jackal
#

ngl, the combat shotguns have pretty damn good boss damage

mystic pilot
#

So second is combat shotgun + axe with krak?

true jackal
#

can run any grenade in that set up, if you are comfortable at dealing with carapce with an axe

vale nova
#

Okay is Recon Lasgun Accatran Mk XIV a good gun in general?

trim badger
trim badger

Love shooting behind burgles

dry cloak
#

But thas agri

#

Zarona has a bit less and accatran is accatran

trim badger
#

I'd assume you wouldn't want to use any combat shotgun other than agri xddd

dry cloak
true jackal
#

zarona's a bit less is still very good

dry cloak

My skill has fallen

Simpky because i dont have that much time to play than before

rip the fire wall hack shotgun

trim badger
vale nova
#

Can you guys suggest a melee weapon to compliment the Recon Lasgun

mystic pilot
#

I have done only one run with it

true jackal
mystic pilot
#

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

vale nova
true jackal
#

rashad for combat axe

vale nova
#

Which weapon combo is the best for veteran?

mystic pilot
#

Depend on your playstyle

true jackal
#

like which 2 weapons?

#

something + power sword really

#

shits brokey af

vale nova
mystic pilot
#

"brokey" meaning its OP

true jackal
#

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)

vale nova
true jackal
#

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

dry cloak
mystic pilot
#

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 ๐Ÿคช

dry cloak
#

My vet is based on Polands best soldiers parody

true jackal
#

mine is johnny-las

#

the guy who found the las gun stc

#

trust me it's real lore

dry cloak
#

Chainsword is often used by people as a tool iirc

true jackal
#

it is a chainsaw

undone jungle
#

its a very very reliable chainsaw that can cut thru metal

mystic pilot
#

The only thing that isnt in game for veteran are flamer and meltagun right?

true jackal
#

missing hellguns (or w/e the automatic heavy lasgun that normal troppers use is), heavy stubbers, and those

#

and a bunch of melee weapons

mystic pilot
#

Yeah in codex Death Korps get just about what the veteran have access to

mystic pilot
true jackal
#

oh yeah that too

mystic pilot
#

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?

#

So it's braindead I see

mystic pilot
#

"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

true jackal
hybrid flame
#

Shovel gud

mystic pilot
#

Is close combat weapon ๐Ÿ˜€

#

How do combat knives perform in combat?

strange crow
#

It's still better than DS horde clear lol

mystic pilot
#

DS?

true jackal
#

dueling sword

#

or the nintendo ds which I would assume has terrible cleave

mystic pilot
#

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

robust herald
#

if you want both good single target and horde clear, taxe isn't a bad choice

azure narwhal
#

The bleed paired with the att speed does the job for you

maiden vector
#

What tunes are on power sword?

#

Crit damage and flak/carapace?

robust herald
#

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

mystic pilot
#

Additive ooof

robust herald
#

yeahhh the crit damage perk is buttcheeks

#

only time I ever take crit dmg is on a blessing, the bolt pistol

hollow ibex

What's the most up to date talent builder online?

maiden vector
#

Well, I make this

And this

hollow ibex

and take sunder or brutal momentum

as the second blessing after pc

true jackal
#

5 rubles

maiden vector
hollow ibex
#

they're both stronger

#

sunder lets you wreck mixed hordes by vastly increasing your cleave

mystic pilot
hollow ibex
#

brumentum lets you kill more per swing on normal hordes

maiden vector
#

And what's better?

#

Bm looks like work with L and H attack, while sunder only on H

maiden vector
hollow ibex
hollow ibex
#

Though I prefer brutal momentum

Anyway, what stat to suffer on Kantrael? Also, what about tunes and skills?

dry cloak
maiden vector
#

Only now I use bolt pistol bc it nice

Orthus update was ages ago

Ilas now if a weapon on madmen and the clueless

Anyway back to gun

maiden vector
#

I have flak + carapace

#

But I think better would be unyielding or maniac instead of carapace

robust herald
#

carapace unyielding

hollow ibex
#

prob prob flak unyielding

#

ilas is shit against carapace

maiden vector
#

Yeah

robust herald
#

oh then yea flak unyielding

did they patch the plasma bug?

oh makes sense

burnt pelican

And dreg shooter body shots too

robust herald

I just do flak unyielding for like 90% of my guns besides a select few

#

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)

i figure its cus the shovel n helbore require more from the player than most weapons

strange crow
#

That too

spark helm

I suppose. Shovel is easy enough to understand. Helbore takes a sec to adjust to but it's not a straight ballbust

primal zealot
#

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

fair shale

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

#

braindead easy gun

#

still does well

lilac eagle
#

If recon did the same damage per shot as infantry, it'd be pretty spooky lmao

spark helm
#

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.

strange crow
lilac eagle
spark helm
# maiden vector You spray and pray

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?

true jackal
#

I mean if you are shooting at hordes sure

#

you ads and thing is laser accurate, aim at heads

spark helm
# lilac eagle Yeh we're, or at least I'm, saying the kantrael is better than the recon las

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.

true jackal
#

kills groups of shooters way faster then the infantry

lilac eagle
#

Do all lasguns pierce horde enemies or just the infantry?

mystic pilot
#

man its too bad this shotgun pattern

hollow ibex
spark helm
mystic pilot
#

the Lucius Mark 22c can't be a mere skin for combat shotgun

lilac eagle
#

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

hollow ibex
#

so maybe one groaner

strange crow
hollow ibex
#

ilas is just kinda ass in general

maiden vector
lilac eagle
#

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

hollow ibex
#

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

real loom
#

Ppl would hate lasguns being strong

maiden vector
#

No, bc stub guns already ass

#

And was ass

mystic pilot
primal zealot
mystic pilot
#

hotshot lasgun or "hellgun"

hollow ibex
#

relentless strikes is like onslaught

#

an abstraction

lilac eagle
#

Its how they do the damage model

strange crow
maiden vector
hollow ibex
#

means nothing

maiden vector
hollow ibex
#

nope

#

that's just visual

maiden vector
#

Also Plasma

dry cloak
#

Still revolver is up there

#

With plasma loosing some ground because of heslth buffs

#

And helbores getting biggest buff in theyre life. Proper ironsights

maiden vector
#

Reloading without speed reloader is ass

lilac eagle
#

Simply dont miss and kill everything first, then you've got loads of time to reload

dry cloak
#

Thats where weapon specialist comes in

maiden vector
#

But need to end Kantrael first

maiden vector
dry cloak
#

Bolt pistol has worse modifiers

#

for headshots

strange crow
lilac eagle
#

Iunno, boltgun has always seemed kinda goated to me

#

Horde disruption, anti-armour, long range

maiden vector
# dry cloak for headshots

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

dry cloak
#

Not everyone is using that

maiden vector
#

Well, there's keystone and executioner stance

dry cloak
#

And lasguns get better results from marksmans focus

strange crow
maiden vector
#

Indeed, I use bolt pistol and bolter with commander voice

dry cloak
maiden vector
#

Only downside of bolter is long ass reload

#

Bc it's damn bolter

And as expected revolver is gonna be much better sidearm than bolter

And fits hybrid builds obv

dry cloak
lilac eagle
#

Bosses I just mag dump and it normally works out fine

frigid rover
#

im told weakspot damage is worse than it looks on paper due to how its damage calculation is handled

dry cloak
#

That would be correct

lilac eagle
#

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

strange crow
lilac eagle
#

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

strange crow
dry cloak
lilac eagle
#

It was a thing in Vermintide right?

dry cloak
#

Specific to one weapon and it was a quick stun on a cooldown

#

So no not happening

true jackal
#

the very very fast swap speed is ment to some what represent it

lilac eagle
#

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

strange crow
#

Isn't it like 1 button press to swap your weapon?

dry cloak
#

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,,

tall torrent
#

Wouldnโ€™t mind it

mystic pilot
#

how is the boltgun used?

strange crow
#

Magdump bosses

#

Or hordes of elites

mystic pilot
#

so melee for the normal horde units?

dry cloak

#

15 shots of fuck you

dry cloak
#

More if you have the perk

lilac eagle
#

Its only 4 extra shots

dry cloak
#

I used it as a sniper and worked better than other weapons

quick shell
#

In the time it takes u to get the bolter out other weapons have already killed an elite

true jackal
#

it's worse at quick snipping them

dry cloak
#

Need to check vigis again after buffs that were givd in bound by duty

true jackal
#

good at taking them out

quick shell
#

Yeah

dry cloak
#

Its called proactive gameplay

#

Also exe stance exists

strange crow
#

Exe stance helps other weapons just as much though

#

Helbore generally is the best special sniper vet has rn

dry cloak
#

Some more than others

#

Yes

strange crow
#

And vigilant autogun has much better ammo sustain

dry cloak
#

You dont have to tell me things i knoe

tall torrent
strange crow
tall torrent
#

Boltgun is diff playstyle

strange crow
#

That's what I'm saying

tall torrent
#

Itโ€™s not bad at sniping

strange crow
#

Yeah but that's not its focus

tall torrent
#

It kinda is?

strange crow
#

Wym?

tall torrent
#

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

strange crow
tall torrent
#

Boltgun in general requires more talent spec

#

Itโ€™s around the same cost as helbore

strange crow
#

Fair enough

fading yarrow
#

Does the current unintended dodge buff mean Havoc should be piss-easy atm?

tame lodge

Pretty much

Except ogg because they don't have the lingering dodge

topaz scarab
#

i gotta ask but

#

why do people use the shovel

#

beside the kreig cosplayer ofcause

mystic pilot
#

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

tame lodge
#

And the bonk SFX gaslight them into thinking it's good

#

Pavlov's Shovel

mystic pilot
#

hey I really like it. Are there any better melee at early levels for crowd control? ๐Ÿ˜›

tame lodge
#

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

strange crow
tame lodge
#

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

quick question. when do veterns unlock assault chainswords?

hollow ibex
#

you can check in the armory

mystic pilot
#

yea well I got an assault chainsword

#

and Im only 13 on Veteran

hollow ibex
#

nice

#

enjoy it but make sure you take kraks or something that can kill carapace

mystic pilot
#

Hellbore + Shovel (or any melee) build

leaden condor

#

Mhm

mystic pilot
#

well that's an easy switch on my talent build

hollow ibex
leaden condor
#

I don't like the frags

#

Every time I try frags their performance seems rather weak for chaff

hollow ibex
#

2 frag = kill hordes/mixed hordes

#

frags can be very powerful

#

and you get a lot of them

leaden condor
#

That's kinda annoying though

#

You gotta toss one and then switch back and throw another just for some chaff mobs

leaden condor
#

Bro you can see in that clip that you had to immediately switch back to the blitz lmao

hollow ibex
leaden condor
#

I'm not downloading a mod just for frags lol

hollow ibex
#

ok your call

#

the point is that it's a powerful, regenerating blitz

#

turns out AOE DOTs are really good

#

who would've thunk

leaden condor
#

That you need two of to do anything lmao

real loom
#

In high havoc isnt 2 frags not kill horde

mystic pilot
hollow ibex
#

crazy how times change

#

everyone used to know that frags were amazing

#

now i have to explain to people why frags are good

#

jfc

leaden condor
scarlet prism
#

Kraks canโ€™t kill a horde of chaff

#

Oh Iโ€™m orange now sick

leaden condor
#

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

hollow ibex
#

kraks and frags are good at two different things

#

just take whatever's best for your build

#

both are great

leaden condor
#

I guess

#

I don't like them personally

scarlet prism
#

Does bleed damage increase exponentially or linearly

#

Or does it stay the same

leaden condor
#

I would assume each bleed stack does a set amount of damage

hollow ibex
#

idk if it's exponential, but it's def not linear

#

only toxin is linear

#

ah yes

scarlet prism
#

So it caps at a certain point?

#

Is bleed chip damage any good for dealing with armor

hollow ibex
#

bleed is good against anything other than carapace

#

unless you have a lot of rending

#

there are caps on all DOTs

still dove
#

what is the best vet build currently?

real loom
still dove
#

ty

still dove
real loom
#

Its different then other but they said perfect is 69 thermal, 71 charge rate

#

I think 68 thermal, 72 charge rate works too

stark holly
# scarlet prism Does bleed damage increase exponentially or linearly

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

scarlet prism
#

What exactly does strength do

#

Does it just increase melee damage

true jackal

damage, cleave and stagger

#

it's very good

modest stag
strange crow
#

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

quick shell
#

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

strange crow
#

DB is fun, and as boring as other ppl say it is I find recon pretty satisfying

fair shale
quick shell
#

I mean I'm gonna get a recon for variety

fair shale
#

You do get effectively infinite ammo tho

quick shell
#

yeah that's why im going for it

#

plus ive got a bunch of autoguns on my zealot already

strange crow
quick shell
#

i assume recon just dumps mobi?

strange crow
#

Collateral

quick shell
#

or

#

yeah

#

collat

fair shale
#

Yeah, iirc the good variant doesn't pen anyway

quick shell
#

dump ammo because u have infinite anyway 4HEad

#

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

mystic pilot
#

recon las? is stability still a good choice for dump stat as well?

stuck gorge
#

Dump collat

#

you ainโ€™t staggering nothing with it

still dove
#

cleave damage a good dump?

narrow frost
still dove
#

thx

scarlet prism
#

Iโ€™ve had a lot more fun with the power falchion compared to power sword

#

Whatโ€™s the dump stat for falchion

strange crow
# mystic pilot

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

mystic pilot
#

duty of honor for Iron Will

hollow ibex
#

what weps?

strange crow
mystic pilot
#

shovel or any other melee

strange crow
hollow ibex
#

yeah prob drop the 15 stacks to take iron will

mystic pilot
#

done

#

so demo team is consistent enough with the 5% chance?

stuck gorge
#

One in 20 kills on average over like 2k kills a game is quite a lot

strange crow
#

Plus as you get to higher and higher difficulties it will do more for you

mystic pilot
stuck gorge
#

Thereโ€™s still quite a lot of elite / specials in that number

calm prairie
#

you will easily throw 60 or 70 nades with that talent if you're throwing them off cooldown

stuck gorge
#

Also if youโ€™re using kraks to kill armored targets

#

Thatโ€™s gonna refund it self a quite few times

calm prairie
#

if you want res speed you can put it on your curios

stuck gorge
#

Res speed chart for vet

mystic pilot
#

well LNOB has other benefits beside revive speed

strange crow
#

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

stark holly
#

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

narrow frost
#

Because Gameslantern is not a reliable source

topaz scarab
#

i gotta ask but

#

what is a "dump" stat

narrow frost
#

the stat that should be 60%

topaz scarab
#

ah

narrow frost
#

weapon stats only total 380

#

so 4 80s and 1 60

#

60 is least important

#

dumped

topaz scarab
#

should plasma charge rate be dump stat or

narrow frost
#

71 charge, 69 thermal

#

if you dont mix manx, do 60% thermal

topaz scarab
#

heh, 69

tall torrent
tall torrent
stuck gorge
#

ah well just cope for good rng and youโ€™ll get a grenade every elite/special kill

topaz scarab
#

yooo, might found a good plasma rifle

#

and its fucking gone

tall torrent
#

If ur broke look for thermal dump

topaz scarab
#

is this consider good

tall torrent
#

Not rly

#

Again, get a thermal dump one if ur broke

#

Charge rate makes ur shots be fired faster

mystic pilot
soft solstice
#

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

topaz scarab
#

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

hollow ibex
#

And got cucked

topaz scarab
#

when you carry both krak grenade and plasma gun to kill those armored enemy, only for the zeolet to bonk them with his hammer

hollow ibex
#

Just that stealth is not

topaz scarab
#

then i just ask my self, why even obther

soft solstice
#

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

tall torrent
#

but vet is basically 2nd best class

topaz scarab
#

just wish they could become a deamon host if they use too much of their ability

soft solstice
#

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

tall torrent
#

vet is quite a bit higher dmg than zealot

topaz scarab
#

zealot hammer in question

#

1 shotting everything

narrow frost
#

lol

tall torrent
#

thunder hammer is legit ass

#

worst designed melee in the game

soft solstice
#

thunder hammer is alot of fun but its hard to compete with big ranged

tall torrent
#

thunder hammer does 1 thing well and sucks horribly in everything else

soft solstice
#

the anti sapper shovel

topaz scarab
#

why use the shovel when the dueling sword just

#

there

soft solstice
#

shovel is a ton of fun and excels in everything but raw damage

tall torrent
#

duelling sword pretty op yea

frigid shuttle
fading yarrow
#

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

frigid shuttle
#

also bonking stuff in one hit is great, except there's other weapons that can 2 hit and also do decently vs multiple targets pain

tall torrent
#

TH's 1 taps are not actually good

soft solstice
#

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

tall torrent
#

if it was good at 1 taps I wouldn't be calling it ass

#

but it's not even good at 1 taps

fair shale
#

Too much of a gimmick weapon ime

frigid shuttle
#

I just wish every class got executioner sword as a universal.

#

Is that too much to ask?

livid hill
#

i just dont understand why stealth and smoke nades cant just work like how they do with bardin in vermie

narrow frost
#

its not VT

#

they tried something different

frigid shuttle
livid hill
#

and it didnt work

#

thats the thing

narrow frost
#

I'm using smokes rn in my havoc

#

they are working

livid hill
#

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

rustic hemlock
#

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?

hollow ibex
hollow ibex
livid hill
hollow ibex
livid hill
#

not ime

hollow ibex
#

and actually has a meaningful playstyle

rustic hemlock
hollow ibex
#

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

verbal osprey
#

Is covert operative worth it?

hollow ibex
#

it's trash

verbal osprey
hollow ibex
#

yes

#

or you run invis

#

but the setup just isn't worth it

verbal osprey
#

Is lock and load worth it for bolter?

hollow ibex
#

it's ok

#

shit pathing tho

verbal osprey
#

Is weapon specialist better for bolter and plasma builds?

#

Since both have low uptime, gonna be using melee a lot

hollow ibex
#

bolter doesn't work well with WS due to very bad draw time

#

plasma works

verbal osprey
verbal osprey
hollow ibex
#

or mmf yeah

verbal osprey
#

Why is mmf good on bolter?

hollow ibex
#

bolter already has good finesse and MMF buffs finesse

#

finesse is crit/weakspot damage

#

FT is good too because it's just damage

verbal osprey
hollow ibex
#

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

verbal osprey
#

Yeah Iโ€™d continue running FT, seems more versatile

Thanks for the tips

You can also keep exe up in melee

Do Onslaught proc with melee weapons?

austere mica
#

1 stack brittle per melee is basically useless

unreal nova
dapper coyote
unreal nova
#

So... lul.

austere mica
#

Yes

dapper coyote
#

Ah

#

I see

austere mica
#

Just not enough to be useful in any capacity

austere mica
unreal nova
#

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.

unreal nova
austere mica
#

I kinda read it wrong but also

#

There is no reason to need onslaught on a melee

unreal nova
olive mica
#

Is the assault chainsword considered good? I feel like Iโ€™m struggling with it

olive mica
#

Thatโ€™s a shame, itโ€™s cool

hollow ibex
unreal nova
#

Basically meh when the meta is 500 armoured in your face.

olive mica
#

I put the +25% damage against flak and carapace on and bloodletter but it still doesnโ€™t do much

unreal nova
#

No point.

#

That thing can hit single digits on cara.

#

25% of 3 damage is nothing.

olive mica
#

So what is a good weapon for heresy and above then?

unreal nova
#

Anything, but you must have a gun that can delete armoured if your melee can't.

#

Or kraks.

#

Anything goes below Havoc 25 tbh.

olive mica
#

Iโ€™m using the boltgun

#

Kraks are helping a lot

unreal nova
#

Then spec it to shatter armoured when out of kraks.

#

Because chainsword really sucks on armoured.

charred kraken
#

What melee weapon do you guys think the guards on the Morningstar use

olive mica
unreal nova
#

Shattering pinning might work.

#

I don't remember since I dislike the pull out time on it.

#

But you need the maxed blessings first.

charred kraken
#

Look at my veteran take on one of the guards on the Morningstar

maiden vector
charred kraken
#

I wanted to try it

maiden vector
#

I use Kantrael IX

#

Bc it oneshots or 2 tap

dry cloak
#

Prepare to be dissapointed

maiden vector
#

Don't listen to him

dry cloak
#

Correct

charred kraken
#

What

maiden vector
#

He just "non-beliver"

dry cloak
#

I believe in ogryn supremacy

maiden vector
#

Flashlights are bestlights

dry cloak
#

Since i started playing

#

And i simply prefer helbore

maiden vector
#

What skills are needed on Accatran lasgun?

dry cloak
#

I dont use recon lasgun?

dapper coyote
maiden vector
charred kraken
dry cloak
#

The strategy is i keep them from you

charred kraken
#

And i take them at range

#

Im a ogryn player but sometimes I like to yell at people with my veteran ability

#

Is funny

unreal nova
#

Is it blu, green or brown?

maiden vector
charred kraken
#

I thought you meant the color of the Lazer

unreal nova
#

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.

maiden vector
#

Ok, so, I use green

#

Mod VIc

dry cloak
#

Mark 6c

maiden vector
#

I have rn skills of +50% dps in weakspot and +5% crit chance on weak spot stack to 5

unreal nova
#

Do not.

#

Flak crits.

unreal nova
#

Weakspot damage sucks. It double sucks on recon cos recon has bad weakspot damage.

maiden vector
#

So what I use?

unreal nova
#

Flak crits.

#

Unyielding crits if you wanna melt bosses faster but... eh.

maiden vector
#

I talk about blessings

unreal nova
#

Oh.

#

Dum dum infernus.

unreal nova
#

That's perks.

maiden vector
#

No, that's blessings

unreal nova
#

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

maiden vector
unreal nova
#

Yes.

maiden vector
#

There's also blessing that scale crit chance of not proc crits

#

+5% and stack to 5

unreal nova
#

Don't bother.

maiden vector
#

K

unreal nova
#

Recon is too spray for it imo.

#

Maybe the brown mark.

maiden vector
#

It works insane on Kantrael

#

Sometimes you 1 tap Reapers

unreal nova
#

Thing is, recon lacks the finesse of the other lasguns. It's crits is also meh and only there to support the ammo efficiency.

unreal nova
maiden vector
#

Well, I think it would be good for that stupid 2,500 enemy penance

unreal nova
grave hawk
#

what vet build we like

hollow ibex
#

this is the general framework

grave hawk
hollow ibex
#

nothing specific, you can run whatever

#

but meta options are psword and rashad

#

with revolver/plasma/double barrel

grave hawk
#

Db

#

intersting

maiden vector
#

Keystone thing

unreal nova
#

Weapon Specialist.

#

The right side keystone.

maiden vector
#

Yes

unreal nova
#

Don't use it with recon basically. Recon is keystoneless or the other two.

maiden vector
#

I just look on progress

#

99/2,500

#

๐Ÿ’€

charred kraken
# hollow ibex

How do you take a picture of the whole skill tree anyway

unreal nova
maiden vector
#

750 suppressed enemies (631 done), 7,500 shield regen (6,336 done), 2,500 bullshit, 500 grenade kills, smoke grenade and WS (31/250)

cunning maple
#

which power sword mark is better?

unreal nova
azure narwhal
#

Vet's best melee

unreal nova
#

Krak kills is much better now. It was PAINFUL before krak buff.

azure narwhal
#

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

unreal nova
#

I trust them still 0 damage taken 300 ping damnation clutch go.

azure narwhal
#

All 3 blitzes are great

#

I see no reason to argue it besides playstyle

unreal nova
#

Pick to complement your weapons.

maiden vector
#

I feel like crackhead with recon lasgun

#

Everything without carapce just melts

azure narwhal
#

Situation too

#

Smart smoke vet is great to have in havoc

unreal nova
maiden vector
#

Also, what stat to dump on Accatran lasgun?

#

Collat?

unreal nova
#

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...

maiden vector
#

But my plasteel vent dry

#

Financial crisis

nova surge
#

gotta say i did not expect the dclaw to feel so solid on this class

unreal nova
#

Upgrade when you can afford.

maiden vector
maiden vector
unreal nova
#

Very fun.

maiden vector
#

Btw, Accatran is very fun

#

Like

#

You are crackhead

#

Just press lmb and never release

vale nova
#

Can anyone suggest a good Infiltrate build for Veteran

unreal nova
unreal nova
#

If no oggy or not safe for oggy.

vale nova
#

Still new to game

regal smelt
#

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

unreal nova
#

So carrying batteries safely and such.

vale nova
#

Okay

unreal nova
#

Otherwise, no point going stealth but penances.

#

This is specifically vet stealth.

regal smelt
#

best used for pressing E on something or someone, but still nice for general use. the damage alone is not worth running it

vale nova
#

Tbh I was going for the armour, says I need to suppress 750 enemies using Infiltrate

fair shale
#

@vale nova sirosky likes this, I don't use it so I cannot speak to the effectiveness

unreal nova
#

Then run a melee build, just jumpscare things and stabstab.

regal smelt
#

that penance completes itself in like 2 missions as long as you're using your ability

unreal nova
#

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.

regal smelt
#

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.

vale nova
fair shale
#

No problem

winter grove
#

Any cool new vet cosmetics from aquila shop yet?

fair shale
#

Pretty sure rotation is tomorrow

#

If thats what you're asking

winter grove
maiden vector
#

Or just bolter

unreal nova
#

Revolver if you play higher diffs cos you need the 1 shot crit weakspot beeakpoint.

maiden vector
#

Bc this is just tedious thing

unreal nova
#

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.

rich aurora
#

Shiet you don't even need 3 kills cause the base crit chance on revolver is already so high

unreal nova
rich aurora
#

Ya just the 1 tho

unreal nova
#

You need the buff for it to count. 3 is just guaranteed no matter what.

#

No waiting, no iffy counting.

#

Just pull and shoot and it'll crit.
