I mean braindead OP
Better
Mk4 devil's claw is also pretty good
Power Sword you got to be a little smarter
How so?
I'm a level 17 Vet who only has 10 hours in game so far. I'm not that high up on the totem pole yet🙏
This guy's heavy attack chaining with DS
All you do is heavy attack, but its a god awful generalist
Wildly bad for hordes ime
I mean its still good against hordes
You can get a devil's claw at level 4
So like the hellbore's bayonet?
But better
I asked a mauler if the light attacks stagger and he called me a slur

ngl i've never used a hellbore

sorry its heresy
The charge up.....🤤
Cuz I remember back in vanilla it felt so bad
The helbore is my plan for when the Plasma Gun gets delete from the game files by an intern
LOL
Helbore beats plasma for dedicated sniping already
I do wonder how bad will the vet be once either shout gets nerfed or once they rework the plasma
If you shoot your helbore and find yourself thinkg "by the heaven my shot has been stopped by a wall/several ragers/my clown teammate" then equip the plasma gun and it will just shoot through all of that
Plasma isn't even vets best gun rn
nahh plasma is still king
ES is better than VoC
I usually die before that happens so I'm all set
Chat what patch is Tongs playing on
Same one as you
plasma hasn't been the best gun for some time
Melee exe is kinda really fun
Tried it today
need to take weapon spec off and full send
ES is goated
Memes aside yeah Plasma's still good but not a free win now, Bolter if you can stomach the rack animation still slappeth
I'm using agri combat
that works well with WS
Melee exe gets some respectable brittleness and crit, also like 260 toughness
I love seeing my name on the top left
please spare yourself. don't take onslaught.
"Aw man, my target is surrounded by a thick horde of poxwalkers. If only there was a weapon that could punch through all of them and hit my target."
The humble Locke Mk IIb Spearhead Boltgun:
Also any recommendations for talent builds? I'm just going with whatever my scatter brain thinks is "yes....this do well"
I either go back to WS or lobotomize my build for MF
basic template
You can't spell Laughter without Onslaught(er)
the laughter you'll hear is people laughing at you for taking onslaught
Why krak?
Because they're good now
ez mode for when learning the game
you can take frags if you want too
Ohh alr
Frags are good if you're having trouble with hordes
I choose kraks for bulwarks
Dump a krak or two on a crusher patrol and W key
^
Tbh the main issue for me with this game is just figuring out weapon stats and how best to distribute em
No problems here, offiver
Normally you dump mobility or defense
Dont worry about it this early
it's usually mob or def
There's a couple of weird weapons
plenty of exceptions tho
Is this swap worth it
Plasma wants 69 thermal and 71 charge or something
Are those the things you don't worry about or just invest heavy into?
a dump stat is typically you want something at 60
The difference between 60 and 80 mobility is normally negligible
while everything else is at 80
I mean if you always aim for headshots then just stay with MF
No I mean dumping BiD and +25 tough
Ohhhh okay
Ohh
I'm considering swapping so I can have a full exe build
But if I don't want to loose exploit weakness and agile I have to cut the +25 and BiD
and this is over having WS
Also 2 more questions from me then I'll buzz off:
- Does it matter the starting stats on a weapon when you first purchase it?
- Does it matter if I buy stuff from the Requestion tab rather than the Brunt's armory tab?
but that 15% attack speed is kinda sexy and might matter for tac axe
No
No
- Yes
- No
I mean yes in terms of looking at the max potential stats
but for actually starting stats no
That would be the faded in yellow right?
Yeah
Also sad I don't like Killzone because I want the -.25 stam delay if I can
Ohhh okay. I appreciate the help with this
you can path from stam regen to killzone can't you?
I just said I don't like it
MMF pathing does kinda suck
Have you been doing any of the event missions for the free crafting mats? You get a gorillion
If not I'm down to slam a couple games
I've been doing a few in between story missions
How so? Is it from the stuff that get's dropped by enemies?
Honestly idk where to even check
Hold Tab in the hub area
you get bonus mats for completing event tiers
in addition to mission rewards
Should give you the reward tiers
tab and then E to cycle through if you don't see it
Oh alr
You get the rewards automatically every time you reach the next tier
It'll give you enough mats to juice up some weapons
Just need to pray at some shrines
If you're looking for specific base stats on a weapon I just buy them from the comissary until I get the desired spread
||The shrines spawn waves and sometimes bosses||
Every time I pray I hear the ||corpse|| emperor whisper to me, seems fine
Like truning into a stinky heretical puppet of Nurgle?
Yeah nothing like that will happen
Learned the hard way
As long as you have time to charge the helbore, specials/bosses are fake
You've already outplayed them
You can still progress if you skip the shrines by picking up the holy trinkets on the ground
I thought the shrines always spawned a boss or two?
I will ask what perks I should put on my curios.
I have these on my first one. the second one I haven't touched yet.
Blessings: 12% mas health
Perks:
10% Ordo Dockets
10% XP
5% Health
xp is good for leveling and that's it
so good until 30
otherwise common picks are gunner resist, toughness, stam regen, and cdr
With vet you wanna prioritize health since you already get a lot of toughness from the perk tree right?
vet synergizes with toughness more
though you'll still want to take some hp
1 hp curio is enough
because some enemies bypass toughness
yeh
or 3 perks
%health gets you very little, I just do one 18% health curio and then oops all toughness
Nah, you want to maximize toughness cause you get more benefit from iron will. Normally vet runs 1x 17 percent toughness, 1x 21 percent health, and 1x 3 stamina curios ime.
i do 1 hp, 1 toughness, 1 stam
3 stamina curio my sweet
With 3x 5 percent toughness on them
yeah 3 toughness, 2 gunner are core curio perks imo
So just have a mix match of 1 from each section?
I don't need 2 gunner because I just ragequit if they down me
Like 1 that has a blessing for health, one for stam, and one for toughness, then just even out perks with damage resist and stuff?
Yeah
Yes
All the curios on sale for me are only for health🥀
Combat ability regen is popular
makes sense for vet with the shout ability
Anddd I just upgraded the wrong thing.....
Bruh
The good curio perks are Toughness, Stam regen, Gunners DR, maybe hp, maybe cdr
Maybe 1 snipers if you have 200 hp
Lol
Appreciate it! Time to spend the next hour getting stuff sorted
How is it good now and not then?
Lol
Also when it comes to guns can I just keep my hellbore?
I have grown attached
hey revive speed is godly too
Helbore is probably the best sniper in the game
especially in havocs
For a dedicated duration sniper it is unbeatable
Nothing claps ups a bomber in the next area code like a helbore
If a teammate is reliably melting bosses, just main helbore imo
Infinite ammo, amazing breakpoints, good ADM's vs all, amazing range
Power sword/duelling sword will shred hordes
Ds does not shred hordes stop smoking
Running a combo of dueling and helbore
Or power
Idk
By shreds I mean delays so i can blame my teammates for not clearing it
tac axe
it does not shred hordes but it staggers them so they cant attack you
Then what is dueling good for if not dealing with hordes?
Poke through the eye slot of rager and crusher armor
duelling sword is strong single target
Always
but the literal worst melee vs horde in the game
Tac axe is amazing
nah that would be the knife
hits genuinely zero stagger breakpoints on anything that matters
knife is almost 50% better on horde lol
Its got bromentum clear, a base crit mod and high finesse, great stagger, high mobility
Its so good
Combat axe has perfect attack patterns
If you're short uninstall
combat axe is better than tac axe most of the time
Which should I focus on upgrading since I'm going to be doing Helbore anyway? Power sword, Dueling sword, or tac axe?
If you can't reach the top shelf don't join my team pls ty
Or just combat since I've been using that a majority fo the time
Any of those four are great up until the very very sweaty content
Just get good at melee with any of them and you're gaming
They're great past that
helbore is mainly ranged builds so prob tac axe
I use it close quarters👀
My vet is my only character of 6 that isn't min height
Might just go with dueling and see how that fairs
Yikes....
I mean the talent tree
Ohhhh mb. Finals have me being stupid
Time to scroll up to see the perks converstation
I mean hipfire hellbore can't seem to miss headshots mid to close range
other than power sword what would you say is havoc-certified for single target?
duelling sword / knife
Knife has basically never failed anyone
but both take away a lot of ur mixed horde clear
what build for knife?
I'm currently hoping recon lasgun brrt/shout covers my horde issues
It will not
...ah
ur not playing desperado hive scum
So uh, to avoid pissed off teammates, should I completely rethink my weapons lol
What kind of final perk should I go for? I chose more xp and ordo dockets because yes
Just make the inferno psyker do it
Toughness or stamina regen
👍
Does veteran have a talent node for uninterruptible heavies
technically yes
and multiple
there're like 3?
Which ones?
ALR! Now I need a buddy to play with. @deft cosmos Looking at you
Lol alr
get back in the fight (when ur toughness breaks)
leave no one behind (when ur teammates go down and is within ur view)
executioner's stance (when it's active)
I gotta go do smth anyway
only one worth is exe stance
Yeah but im running toughness buff
it's ur choice
Ye
So it's kinda whatever
I'm still exploring all the weapons
Though my most recent discovery is that you dont take weakspot kills on recon las
It's a lot of spread
I could join, what region are u in
ur in EU?
At this point I might as well be
Damn it I just played hellbore just because we talked about it here and it still doesn't feel good
Tragically, it appears you are not born with helbore in your DNA, clam
It's heavenly. I like guns that go pew pew pew as much as the next gal but I like more oomphf
or steam code, whichever
I'm back and I'm raring to smooch heretics send me the code
Lemme checkkkkkk
Feels bad because I love Kriegs but oh well
Idk how to check lol
First time playing with anyone that wasn't random
menu - social - find players (bottom right) - click number - paste here
Prob
I can do it rly fast for u if u want
Sure! I just wanna level up and get dockets
well the catch is that ur just gonna spectate for like 15 mins
but it'll be quick
Fine by me lmao. Is Skagasaurus joining in?
The chat keeps moving and I can't copy the text because I'm STUPID I think
basically u jump off the map at start and I speedrun the lvl
Not a problem
Wait am I in charge of the squad? Bc if so that's a problem
Oh nvm
lol
anyone in party can queue missions up
Learn smth new everyday
RIP
Vet default build template
I got 20 talent points taht are usable
ik
Lemme readjust
start with this
u said u hav 20 pts
I'm getting off now
Alr, thx for playing and thank you for the build
if ur very new to the game I highly recommend getting creature spawner to practice melee
with artificial lag
It's too bad that For the Drip isn't shared between mod users, but maybe someday I will not need it to look this good.
All of which are so minor that I doubt anyone would notice them mid-match. Maybe the belt, but that's about all.
Not 100% certain the belt is clipping, the front might actually be obscured by the left arm.
Which blessings are best for the duelling sword?
Uncanny and whatever.
Ppl usually say riposte. I use agile to braindead harder and no think.
Alr thx!
There might be one more choice, but I just woke up and can't be sure.
there are much worse cosmetic issues than clipping in this game unfortunately
Like the fact I have to deal with krieg larpers.
Thrust if you play VT2. Very funni to hit muties with it.
Pretty sure that's just ppl. No need Krieg.
Gotcha!
Krieg larpers on their way yo be true to their regiment of choice and fold over and die the second things go wrong (or 5 minutes before that)
Thrust is probably the only thing that makes DS engaging for me
I feel like
I'm timing my rapier chargeup stages with saltzpyre again
Like those crazy ass players that hold it juuust right when they see the rapier draw back slightly
Do not worry, the artillery i threw on top of myself will take care of it 
Darktide hath shafted your expectations!
You're playing a game where ogryns understand jokes and philosophy
Yo infantry lasgun is way more fun than what I remembered it back in vanilla
They do that elsewhere
Like its essentially unlimited ammo like plasma
Inflas just feels bad

And isn't good enough to justify using despite that
Is a choice. Uncanny is the most important anyway.
Inf las is somewhat tolerable with MMF considering your aim
Yeys
I mean even with bad aim you will eventually get headshots with it because of the holy amount of ammo you have
C
ctrl
I have dodge on space and jump on alt tbh
so that while pressing shift I could just press it with my palm
Both of you should be shot
Say what you want, i can slide without taking my finger off of anything, ever
spacebar

I feel like that's almost the first thing everyone should do in DT + VT tbh
its the second after jacking your fov to max
I remember when i first got VT years back
Literally the first thing i got told was
Keep your dodge on space and only for that
Left back button and B.
Bruh my brain is hardwired to press tab whenever I press alt
And fov on vermintide no more than 95 because they do not know how to do fov and it will fuck with range perception
I will keep this in mind when i use my controller to play devil may cry
I'd be on 135 if I could

Okay tho but the fact its actually noticeable
Stormvermin glaives look MUCH further than they really are on max fov
Because they haven't implemented it well
What? I play on controller. It is dire when you see 3 PC players dead first.
Choosing to play tide games on controller is something only you can do, but that's good because it makes you unique

I tried playing DOTA 2 on controller once even. Yeah, that one's a no.
Ok
Not that though for the love of god
Out of all the games
You chose one of the most input heavy MOBAs
And went
"Controller 👍 "
But is just, used to controller on L4D2.
One button king.
Lol jokes aside i get it
I played console for the longest time
I miss ps exclusives like
Bloodborne is gone
But eh
Technically...
Coughs.
ShadPS4 is putting in that work
Though i still am like
Very stingy about stuff i like
So i want to wait for it to truly be a stable experience of the original
Because needing mods to run the game stable when its so ancient and i have an overclocked 3070 is quite funni
And then PC port is a buggy mess.
Like always lol
Even ghost of tsushima
One of the best ports imo
Has its fault
Being memory leak
This is just DT.
Gotta restart every 2 hours
Like, it somehow has worse performance than higher settings Cyberpunk.
Lmao
3 mods i never take off
Guarantee ability, weapon swap, weapon special. In vermintide, things happen when i press the button, here i have to do it 200 times
Buti feel like its gotten worse performance wise
Idk y
This update so
It has.
Jittery
I went from low med to .ini edited below low.
Still lost 25~ fps.
Playing at 35 FPS avg is like...
Oof
Pretty sure I should be able to get a stable 60 at least in most games on med high.
DT? Nope.
Dt optimization is non existent
Enjoy your cinematic 24 fps.
Also memory leaks happen way too often
DT either runs buttery smooth at max settings or it plays like absolute trash for me and sometimes the difference is restarting the game
Yeap
Just FS things. I just spam push. I miss my 11 stam.
Just gotta spam and hope you push.
Pox bursters are currently most dangerous enemy ingame
Idk if they fixed their range yet
Kinda but no.
I always crounch slide back with high mobility weapons xD
They now randomly don't ignite.
Still impossible to push in certain situations.
Game is in a concerning state rn xD
Ive had a lot of bursters not explode after they get pushed like 3 times tbh
More, they don't care when you say NO.
That was there from before tbh but i see it more often now
Lastly havoc special spawns rn are broken i think
Everyone on 40s agreed they seemed overtuned
Like bro 10+ specials waves

I had exec stance and it looked so stupid
I saw 3 trappers at once on malice, so you tell me.
Think winding down to zzz, goes to malice. 3 trappers constantly.
Trauma arises.
The director loves to spam lately ime
Its not sending out mixed specialistsb
Its "oh one bomber didn't work? Two more"
Is mixed, just... 3+ of every one of them.
3+ dogs, 3+ muties.
Like, this is malice, not auric, what even?
And is like the min is 2 at once.
But a third is always ready to pop out on a dime.
Explosion radius yeah, but I think there's something different about pushing them now, sometimes it doesn't work
I notice that if you push them before they start their audio cue indicating they wanna blow up they just consider your push as a minor setback, stand up again and then start the jump like nothing happenned
To be sure I have to get my gun after the push and finish them off
I wish we had 3 more of these
I want to make an infinity gauntlet meme
Also why didn't they give us this master piece
what's the use of the Sapper Shovel stab? Not the one where you flip it, the one mark where it doesn't do that
what's it good for
it's slow and deals less damage than a light attack
useless
I think it's for the stagger
It's also faster, might be good to bully rager.
Quite the opposite, it has enough stagger to knockback crushers on weakspot hit. This is useful not only to provide an opening but it also procs skullcrusher which allows you to instantly buff your most damaging move on the sapper shovel, your push attack. Weakspot stab -> PA
Bruh they need to just add the balaclava on it's own as a cosmetic.
Balaclava beloved
Stagger anything that can be stagger
Including bosses weak points
It's entirely possible to bully twins with Voc combined
God i love spamming the stabbing actions on the captains and beasts
wait sapper shovel can stagger captains and bosses? dear god I've been sleeping on it
I can't confirm on the rest but I've been stabbing captains (unshielded) at the head and the weak spot of beasts in mortis trials for awhile now
I love the shovel it’s absolutely beautiful
With all the nodes that buff your melee capabilities it feels like your a lawnmower
And with bolt pistol to boost your shredder frags you liquify hordes
Fellas is the infantry autogun still good?
Vraks, yes.
Yeah as karien said just get vraks and slap marksman focus with exe stance
Time to get the dust off my sapper shovel then
I saw a Veteran wearing a commissar outfit can anyone help me track down what clothes they were?
Commissar boots
Yarrick boltpistol
Power Sword with officer's brocade
Dom's grenade build
Oh yeah. It's Golden fraggin' Throne time
Did he look like this perchance
Yes
That might have been me lol. Stygian Commissar's cap, Gregor Eisenhorn cost from the Inquisition Acolyte rotation, boots from this rotation ofc
Ahh
Also whats in the veteran shop now?
Her boots are also from the Acolyte rotation but you can get her hat from the current Commissar bundle
Theres a current commissar outfit?!!
Pictures of content in the shop
It was last in the shop 2 years ago lol
I love rotation systems 
If you're short on Aquilas there's currently a one-time offer of 4k for five bucks, if you haven't nabbed that yet
That got refreshed?
Also also. Commissar Yarrick's bolt pistol is in the Zealot tab
"If you haven't nabbed that yet," I mentioned. It sticks around until you buy it
I nabbed it lol and got my veteran DKoK outfit before this rotation and the vox caster backpack
I got the grey Krieg coat with it, too, plus the Commissar boots and bolt pistol
Hopefully got enough leftover for the Krieg Commissar hat when that rolls around
I have a BP skin I really like already

Dang that's a good one too
Seem the rotation theme is Yarrick and Armageddon Steel Legion
Any pieces from the new rotation that can be added to a DKoK outfit?
The commissar boots was from the last rotation?
Nah, I mean I used some of the 4k Aquila offer for the Krieg coat, then used more of it for the boots and skin
And not really, imo
Maybe the Commissar boots ig
Indeed.
yo is the plas gun still causing frame stuttering? I wanna use it
I believe the pistol is from Armageddon rotations in general and not necessarily contemporary to the Commissar Gregoris bundle, but I could be wrong
I think it's been fixed
The failure to explode on overheat has been fixed, at least
Oh the Yarrick boltgun skin!
My bad for not realizing it
can someone link an example of "shout veteran with mark, plasma gun, dueling sword and kraks."
Damn.. I want this shit
I would have more reasons to scream CADIA STANDS and TRAITOR
Gonna try to make a commissar build
Bistol. power falchion, VoC, gajillion coherency buffs
Do shredder frags and Puncture from the bolt pistol stack?
Ah cool
not dueling sword?
But in other cases, meh
Dueling Sword vibes def seem very commissar
Isn't it even shittier that PF?
Dueling sword is for pussies
Also, ye, DS is definitely commissar vibe
first I've heard of this, is this true?
As I know, DS just bad
Like, compared to PS
Its very good at very specific things
Single target damage and mobility
Power Sword is simply broken
DS is good for movement 
So uh if I'm trying to get into Havocs for the first time and wanna stack the deck, should I just embrace the power sword chargeup spam
I mean
already a bit resigned to using bolter/plasma gun lol
How can I amass large amounts of diamantine?
I wish flaslights have more love for them
But you gotta be good enough to use it ime
Play gold or damnation
NOT operations
Just regular missions
I can also wipe whenever I want, atp I'm just looking for reliable cheese as training wheels 😂
I don't think vet is reliable cheese tbh
ooof
Vet is strong but they require input most of the time
Wait
wait so what class would be
I can make a Krieger commissar
Even power sword, for as busted as it is, requires a hit of a mentality tweak
Psyker
We have Krieg soldier and officer
Arb and Ogryn are the most training wheels classes in the game
Psyker is the strongest
lemme rephrase: I don't wanna be braindead but I'm looking for something, ideally vet, that can help ease me into this
My group and I always match
What havoc tier are you at?
Good ole shield bubble and voidblast spam
did an auric to start at 16
What do you want to use specifically
And when we do Krieg I wear the one with the special faceplate since I’m the leader. Now I can be a Krieger officer
Cause ime havoc 16 ain't too bad
Hav16 is much easier than auric mael
I'm fond of the recon lasgun and krak but am willing to ditch anything to optimize
Hav16 feels like heresy with a couple of modifiers
Nah, there when Krieg added first time, were helmet
Yeah
For 1,200 more money
I.e. default kit is soldier and default + helmet is officer
Bc helmet IS officer Krieg
You familiar with the good recon set up?
honestly I'd appreciate a straight up link to it
Give me like 5 minutes and I'll go find mine
Appreciated
party like it's the months of shame
DB is possibly the single strongest gun on vet rn
That's not Krieg
If you're good that shit will hit Purge Psyker numbers
What primary is it often run with, I’ve been running chaxe to solid success
Shovel is normal ime
I think Cole uses shout
Oh awesome
iirc you want to actually dump collat instead of mobi
recon lasgun for bosses instead of hordes?
And you take dum dum, not head hunter
Melts em with infernus stacks
Especially on lower havocs
So uh, what grenade and melee pairs with this?
Kraks delete bulwarks and crushers so you don't have to shoot them
Well
You can take PS and have an anti everything melee
I thought my recon was better so I'm gonna respecify collat dump and dum dum instead of headhunter
So if someone pings me with an uhm actually later I can legally kill them
def mk 12 recon ye
?
also what would you say are good alternatives to power sword for tryharding/Havoc non-throwing
Iirc the 12 is the most ammo effecient with the fastest fire rate so it stacks infernus better
Depends on how good you are, I like Tac Axe
Shovel is comfortable
Hard to go wrong with shovel
Uhm you should be dumping collat not mobi and you should swap blessings too
Hey, what's red and bad for your teeth
You mostly want the fastest firing one just for running internus or onslaught
Onslaught is Not Good™
Red gummybears?
Because you should not be shooting crushers with most things
LOL
Hm so spelling out: what perks/blessings would you advise for PS? paired with recon
Onslaught isn't bad, it's just not necessary
and thoughts on curios?
17 percent toughness, 21 percent health, 410+ rated +3 stamina
Then I personally run 3 toughness, 3 revive speed, 3 gunner resist
Afaik this is as optimal as you're gonna make a powersword
Plasma sword
Power Sword
Axe
Tactical Axe
Answer to basically every question of ‘what’s best melee for vet’ is almost ALWAYS psword
Dueling Sword
No.
Funnily, one of them has the Krieg entrenching tool skin and another has the Krieg cavalry saber skin
The plan was originally to be Krieg
For No Man’s Land
But not all of us had Krieg so we switched to Steel Legion
can i replace DS with taxe or power sword on a plasma weapons specialist build
Yeah
bet because DS is boring me
No horseback cavalry?
100%
Taxe is the true darktide experience
Play fotf martyr taxe zealot and let's see how strong those hands are
rampage hive scum can crank attack speed higher I believe
Haven't tried the Power Falchion, how good is it compared to the Power Sword?
Don’t need it when your regiment mass produces the mobile clown cars that are Chimeras
Ahh.
Let me cope with what medieval elements in 40k i can find! How else can i enjoy things
Compared to power sword it's dog, by itself it's mid
But yeah power sword is king
Summary of steel legion being a chimera pulls up to you, suddenly 20 men in yellow flood out and start beating you to death
Then they all climb back in
Mid even when compared to other weapons
It has a niche
Lolol
But it’s just whatever
I stuck to krieg from a style standpoint more than anything really
20 morrows
Then i read about their story of paying penance
Pretty cool, since i play dark angels.
Dow4 intensifies
Only if primaris didn't suck balls
Well I mean their tactics are completely polar opposites
Of course
Yeah
Iron warriors-esque in a way
Anyhow. I hope the total war game turns out well really
For me its bleak because i just cant seem to enjoy most present 40k stuff
But its whatever, still new thing to play with
Look I’m just hoping even if it requires mods I can have my IG be the Steel Legion
Dkok is WWI inspired, Steel Legion is WWII Soviet inspired.
SL is more Fallschirmjäger inspired I’d say with how some of their camo patterns are
Maybe a mix of both.
The devs have been pretty open about being able to truly customize your armies so it’s entirely possible
I have 2 questions, whats the best mark for the power falchion and whats the best way to use the plasma gun?
Mk1 is the least shit falch
Y the wording like that?
Wat melee you recommend?
Whatever damage and stagger
Dogshit blessings pool
Whatever stimulates brain activity for you
Must be fun at parties
Power sword/dueling sword/combat axe
Even to the sapper shovel?
I like that weapon and all, but it's primary heavy just sucks for dealing with crowds
Shovel is probably stronger
Why is the dueling sword so powerful, do i not understand something?
Don’t need a brain for it mostly
The horde clear is ass
It’s mostly good mobility and single target
And a bot could play it
Whats the beat melee for hordes, can decently kill elites
You handle by dodging until your anemic horde clear whittles them down
Power sword or Rashad
Power sword or combat axe
While the horde clearing isn't that good
It does have the ability to 1 shot the first poxxer on light attacks
While also having 4.5 cleave
Rashad?
Caxe
a particular variant of combat axe
Damn lmao
generally has the best swing angles and doesn't have a useless stat iirc
So which one is better for general use or are they on par with each other
the achlys has a janky moveset iirc and the antax has cleave targets which is useless with brutal mometum(which is what makes combat axes viable)
Iirc?
rashad is the mark
That's the mark
Oh its one of those
Aye
It's the one that says Rashad
I should eventually get 80% damage but this setup feels smooth in Auric
Dump stat for the plasma?
@tired egret
Based name
But i have a 69 charge and 71 thermal plasma
Wdym?
Played my Helbore Crit build. It's okay, but I think I aught to give recon lasgun a try.
69 charge 71 thermal is effectively perfect, just get good blessings and traits
Also, might switch from marksman to stealth for my ability.
I've seen infiltrate be a great clutch tool
Infiltrate is fun and has its uses but is definitely the worst of the three
Executioner Stance seems too good to pass up for helbore though
Exec stance is insane rn overall
VoC is so broadly strong that I default to it
Voc is nice too
Executioner is definitely the sauce if I'm leaning forward in my chair
ES = VOC >>>>>>>>>> cuckfil
I prefer voc
Misread cuckfil and chickfila
I hardly ever pop it tbh, but I also play mostly on Heresy or Malice depending on if I'm chilling or if I'm leveling up a weapon.
Es feels powerful even if you only get a couple of resets
Tbh
I still kinda prefer voice?
Weapon specialist or focus target?
Cooldown isn't even a problem on my build, it's moreso that I rarely bother to use it. Hellbore requires too much concentration to use with it effectively.
I use Marksman Discipline.
I don’t like helbore tbh
What weapons
do you wanna nuke bosses or play hybrid combat more
Plasma and combat axe
Hybrid
We agree? Right?
weapon specialist for you then

WS is THE hybrid keystone
Ws
It's a good weapon, but it kinda requires a low-threat build since vet doesnt have all that good of a waveclear.
WS
Anyone has a WS build?
no, u just have to use melee weapons for it
Just play right
Half the time I just use the bayonet.
It feels soooo good with db ngl. Literally plays itself. Nothing like going swing>shot>swing>shot repeatedly
yea it's not good at horde
use an actual melee weapon
Is the bayonet still any good
at striking fear into the hearts of your enemies? yes
Not a problem if the horde isn't specifically after me.
Tbh I am gonna test a combo of weakspot stagger and weakspot cleave.
It can actually hit multiple enemies in front of you, so it's not completely useless. It also has great weakspot damage
but not enough to match actual single target dps melee weapons
Caxe is still better, but bayonet is okay in a pinch.
An axe is better than a bayonet? By the gods
For the Rashah, is there any knowledge of the weapon i should know like a interaction i should need to know
Is the Helby a one shot weapon or do you just click heads repeatedly
Nah it's fairly shrimple, good attack chains and the heavies kill carapace acceptably
Alright
Depends on the target and perks. I use crits so that I never need ammo pickups
Guys is power sword worth using on vet ?
Yes it's top tier
what perks and blessings do you recommend
power cycler
Power sword is good on all classes that have it. Not always meta, but always reliable.
(there's only 1 class that can use power sword)
Nice imma start levelling power sword thing ty guys
It's a 1 shot weapon that you will be shooting heads constantly
dont bother swinging it without charging its special attack
unless you need to stagger something to not die immediately
If you build for crit chance, weakspot damage, and crit damage, it can one-shot or two-shot headshot a wide range of enemies when charged up.
What blessing should I use though?
Power Cycler + Sunder/Brutal Momentum
Heavy attack does less damage to maniac than light, push attack can stagger ragers out of their attack chains in auric, idk about havoc
heavy atk doesn't do less maniac dmg than light atks
this got patched like a year ago
I have 2 talent points unsure where to put them
Wait really?
That was always funny to me
Mfw I oneshot a mutant with a light and do 25% with a heavy
u can check it in less than 30s
I mean yeah I can
@tall torrent i have 2 talent points, you have any suggestions
wat's ur tree
From the pic, i have the WS with always prep, shout with the gold toughness and then the trench training
25 toughness (bottom right)
agile engagement
Ty
(I assume attack speed affects charge rate)
no
Really?!
Man isnt this game's just so intuitive
I mean that makes sense to me
I’d assume attack speed effects fire rate but not charge rate
And yet Fatshark doesn't tell you 75% of the things
Truly a big fish moment
Does +carapace damage not affect any Plasma breakpoints?
not worthwhile to shoot carapace
Fair
Yeah that's just about it
what curios?
I always forget they doubled crusher hp
On maulers/plasma gunner you go for body
On scab rager you go for headshots
And shooting crushers is just waste of ammo
Long as its not carapace
Though the funniest thing to see is the textbook new vet player wanting to shoot EVERYTHING with recon las
Muh onslaught
I mean u can kinda do that because of shock trooper no?
Yeah true
hive scum but worse
Not worth
wow
@tall torrent I just wanna ask. Would you use Vraks on Ganger over the dual autos? Just a curiosity.
which vraks
What's the best build for a lasgun, voice of command vet?
chimeras for days
Exec stance
Every single squad in the Steel Legion have their own chimera
huh?
executioners stance
horses>cars
or at that
any vehichle
that's better
I prefer a baneblade over a horse
Death Riders are cool. But as an infantry squad you want to be in Steel Legion. Then you get a chimera of your own that protect you inside while getting to your destination and then give you fire support as you disembark and engage the objective
Infantry. What else really? XD
okay but i'm literally cosplaying as a demented bret knight on top of a horse with a spear
who charges futuristic weaponry
with a spear
yea it's the best gun for hvs
Ah. Was mostly curious. Trying to figure out a ranged build and trying to decide on a gun. XD
Graia braced and bolt pistol are also fun options
with an explosive warhead
anyone got some protips on playing vet in havoc? like what my role is and how to play it
using plasma gun and power sword
kill elite mixed hordes & snipe specialists
I know bistol, bigger boom? heh.
