#

A lot of the value from grenadier is from double nade

#

Which isn’t super helpful on Krak

quick shell
#

I run it on my havoc setup and honestly i should probably not

swift river
#

Hmm... If I removed both grenade modifiers, I could go Trench Fighter and Serrated Blade...

quick shell
#

what melee are you using

swift river
#

On this build, a knife

orchid hemlock
#

I don't care if people think this is shit

#

Witness me!

quick shell
#

is this havoc or regular

swift river
#

The XII lasgun? I've been using the VIc myself 😄

void dragon
#

if you run onslaught XII is your pal

swift river
#

But it chews through so much ammo...

#

Twice the fire rate but only like a third extra ammo

orchid hemlock
orchid hemlock
quick shell
#

i mean it looks fine for auric

#

but kidna abysmal for havoc

orchid hemlock
#

Havoc 40s

swift river
#

Heavy Recon? The XIV?

orchid hemlock
#

Yes

quick shell
swift river
#

Ah ye, that one chews up ammo too cause it uses more ammo per shot

#

I dunno, VIc always seemed like the best middle ground

quick shell
#

this kids, is why shock trooper was invented

swift river
#

True but I'm not using Shock Trooper on this build

#

So I need to conserve

orchid hemlock
#

It's just that with this build, you slaughter elites and specialist groups and have decent boss damage

#

Just try it once

#

Full refund

#

I promise

mystic pilot
#

Combat Blade, which blessing to go for after Uncanny Strike?

swift river
#

I use Precog but that's me

orchid hemlock
hollow ibex
#

Riposte precog FT are all good

swift river
#

Man, some people really ruin this game sometimes. It's rare, but there are some shit players out there.

mystic pilot
#

Man I need to practice those move sets for melee weapons in the guide

#

okay so the move set tell you what direction to swing your weapon right?

hollow ibex
#

It’s the light or heavy or PA

#

Or special

narrow widget
#

most weapons in this game are spam light/heavy occasionally push attack
there are a few exceptions like combat blade and power sword but those are rarer

hollow ibex
#

For example H1 means the first heavy in the heavy chain

#

So L1 H2 means light, then heavy. And the light would be the first light in the light chain and the heavy would be the second heavy in the heavy chain

mystic pilot
#

okay for horde

#

I push, then Heavy attack, then heavy attack and what light 3 attack?

hollow ibex
#

The curly braces mean loops

narrow widget
#

curly brackets are for attacks you can repeat

#

so heavy heavy heavy heavy light or smth

hollow ibex
#

So you can push and then just heavy forever

mystic pilot
#

and heavy 2 move is?

hollow ibex
#

Heavy 1 and heavy 2 are sweeping swings

#

Shovel mk1 moveset is stupidly easy

mystic pilot
#

okay but then you have this

#

Heavy 2 then Heavy 1??

#

so first swing at nothing, then second swing should connect?

hollow ibex
#

The number just indicates what order the heavy is in the chain

narrow widget
#

heavy 2 and queuing up another heavy gives you heavy 1

hollow ibex
#

Just follow the moveset tbh

mystic pilot
#

so first swing and second swing is jsut heavy 1 and heavy 2

hollow ibex
#

You don’t need to worry about whether it’s heavy 1 or heavy 2

narrow widget
tall torrent
# mystic pilot

this is because the heavy attack being chained from push atk is heavy2

#

I put push/push atk at start which indicates what ur atk chain going from push or push atk is

#

since push/push atk is smth u should do fairly often vs horde

#

the actual combo starters are marked with blue colored text/arrow in the moveset chart

surreal sentinel
#

What do you think of this: Orestes Mk. XII Chainaxe, Plasma Gun, and Krak Grenades.

grave hawk
#

do you guys like the sniper vet build from the guide

narrow widget
#

if it's path's guide I have full faith in it

#

that guy knows numbers

grave hawk
#

alright

mystic pilot
#

well that was interesting , while I was practing my combat blade, i got 1500dps on bulkwark from behind

#

er 2570dps, nice crit

narrow widget
#

dps doesn't really matter that much tbh imo
moreso how little hits does it take to kill the elite you're focusing on

chrome ruin
#

what stat do y'all dump on the recon lasgun? Mobility?

chrome ruin
#

oh that makes sense, it's basically a laser pointer

#

ty

surreal sentinel
#

Reiterate: What do you think of my build? I use the Orestes Mk. XII Chainaxe, the Plasma Gun, and Krak Grenades.

narrow widget
#

where horde clear

grave hawk
#

sounds like you are going to get overwhelmed easy

surreal sentinel
#

Chainaxe. The Mk. XII is built more for horde clear rather than the Mk. IV, which is moreso for single target.

#

And in a pinch I can pull out the krak grenades.

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

Chaxe has great horde clear

narrow widget
#

idk I don't play chaxe

surreal sentinel
#

chaxe has remarkable horde clear.

#

I just went with what looked cool, and those looked cool, and it works phenomenally for me.

mystic pilot
tall torrent
#

chainaxe has tolerable horde clear

narrow widget
#

my goat power sword could never just be tolerable

topaz lance
#

Chain axe unfortunately is overall a very mid weapon. It works.

surreal sentinel
#

I like it a lot.

grave hawk
#

ive got 1 extra point

quick shell
surreal sentinel
#

idk

grave hawk
#

Shovel Helbore

quick shell
#

and is this havoc or auric

grave hawk
#

either

quick shell
#

if havoc, tinkerer

#

it's required for kraks

grave hawk
#

aye

#

thats where iwas thinking too

surreal sentinel
#

I've got tinkerer.

quick shell
#

if ur not taking tinkerer in havoc, dont use kraks

grave hawk
#

yup

narrow widget
surreal sentinel
#

I normally play Psyker, so my Veteran build is okay.

grave hawk
narrow widget
#

oh wait I'm illiterate

#

I thought you said you already had tinkerer 💀 💀 💀 💀

grave hawk
#

do we know which mark is suggested for helbore

hollow ibex
#

V for chads

quick shell
#

I think it's entirely preference really, but iirc one was a bit better?

narrow widget
#

p sure it's either the slow one or the middle firing one

#

but I could be wrong

hollow ibex
#

It’s preference

narrow widget
#

yea

grave hawk
#

im assuming IV is the slowest

#

then IIIa

#

then V

narrow widget
#

ik iiia is good

#

but then again helbore is good

hollow ibex
grave hawk
#

IIIa it is

#

i might end up going V

hollow ibex
#

V with weight of fire is very funny

grave hawk
#

im using weight of fire

hollow ibex
#

Try V uwugryn

grave hawk
#

aye aye

slender elm
#

Should I go wep specialist or ft for bolter

mystic pilot
#

huh

#

krak grenade "sticking" targeting is weird

#

it would "bounce" to the guy next to the target I was aiming at

narrow widget
slender elm
#

True...

#

It's also generally more useful

narrow widget
#

ehhhh

#

I don't like how long it takes to get max ft stacks

mystic pilot
#

the krak keep going for the plasma gunner and the mauler

#

when IM in front of them

#

but if I go behind them it will stick where I throw it

#

it wont even stick to the gunner in front, always either the plasma gunner or the mauler

slender elm
#

Carapace armor detected

hollow ibex
#

Yeah it prioritizes enemies with carapace

mystic pilot
#

I mean... I just watched it do a 90 degree yeet toward the carapace

slender elm
#

Ye, magnetic

#

Lel

mystic pilot
#

sometime it would bounce from the plasma gunner to the mauler

slender elm
#

That seems to be a design choice

mystic pilot
#

I would throw grenade at the right one

#

then it bounce to the plasma

slender elm
#

Melee armor higher priority

mystic pilot
#

then the mauler and then kaboom

#

I mean its just funny to see it bounce two targets to get to the mauler

slender elm
#

It is yes

#

But logically you wouldn't krak a plasma gunner

#

So game decides ooh mauler

mystic pilot
#

I was talking about it bouncing from the gunner on right to the plasma gunner, then bounced to the mauler before exploding 😛

#

its so silly

slender elm
#

Yeh, it bouncing to the plasma gunner is expected because carapace helmet, bouncing again to mauler is silly

#

But plasma gunners are easier to kill

#

So it makes sense

#

I've been running around with rashad

#

It feels like my cleave is quite shit for such a slow weapon

#

I have bromentum too

austere mica
#

Because it is

#

And your angles aren't great from bromentum

tall torrent
#

ok zealot sections done

mystic pilot

WOOOO! third mastery completed

slender elm

I miss my chainaxe

mystic pilot
#

Martyr is the one that want bonus wounds and have them depleted yea?

hollow ibex
#

Yup

slender elm
#

Ye

#

I'm seeing people running around with 4 wounds on non martyr zealots and im not sure if its worth

#

Worth the skill point i mean

hollow ibex
#

Marty is a lot of fun

#

And good

#

You’re still really durable tbh

slender elm
#

non martyr

rugged jasper
#

Whats the best build for Veteran? I'm new to the game but feels like I'm not using Veteran to the best it can be

slender elm
#

Also seeing people with 7 wounds and i just facepalm

Yah then cringe

what other talents assuming standard build template

MF keystone?

oh ok

I play this for plasma

but for vig auto, swap 1 point somewhere for rending strikes instead

#

prob grenadier

makes sense

thank you

ill try both

i dont think ive ever used the vig autogun before

hollow ibex
pseudo fiber

#

Is the "no keystone, infernus, recon lasgun + dueling sword build" still a thing? Haven't played in a while and wondering if I should build something else before trying to actually get into higher difficulties again staregryn

signal temple
#

Anyone have a half decent PS plasma build they would be willing to share

hollow ibex
tall torrent
#

and the exact build I run

slender elm
#

Uh huh

#

I'm running shout and ft, guess I can try something else

#

Also do I want reload speed nodes for bolter

tall torrent
slender elm
#

Will do

tepid otter
#

Anyone else having Backend errors

hollow ibex
#

swap speed is too slow even with OM

slender elm
#

I just run it for the crit and ammo from reserve

#

What else u gon take tho, ft?

hollow ibex
#

the reload is very not worth it on bolter, it's what

#

1 round everytime you proc WS?

#

FT or MMF are way better options

slender elm
#

Hmm

#

But reload speed on ws

hollow ibex
#

you get 3% of your ammo back your mag with every 3 melee kills in the best case scenario

#

3.3%

slender elm
#

Yeah so i can proc tac reload

hollow ibex
#

you can proc tac reload by just not magdumping the full mag

#

instead of wasting a keystone slot

slender elm
#

But full auto go brr

#

Lel

#

Right

#

I feel like I dont hit heads often enough with bolter, but eh, I'll try mmf

agile mortar
#

For the fast

hollow ibex
#

mobility doesn't make much of a difference to sprint speed

distant mural
#

Bolter needs exe stance.

#

Idk why everyone picks shout when they wanna snipe.

steep flower
steep flower
slender elm
#

Shout staggers so you can put a shot in before everyone gets back to killing you

# quick shell But it can also do nothing which is the issue

Nah; extra grenades, faster heal = you don’t just sit in the med pack for 5 years to heal up & corruption heal so you don’t get 1 shot by a burster or even poxers if you already have corruption
Yesterday vet had FI and it allowed to clutch hard vs rotten cause str stimm + rockets is balanced; i can’t tell how many i fired that game but atleast 10+ KEKW_ogryn

#

If there was a way for your teammates to know you had it without needing to tell them(or drop a crate), I feel like it would be taken a lot more

@sudden cedar remember yesterdays havoc? How many rocket clutches i pulled out?

steep flower

#

Yeah I don't know why I even suggest qol for this game, FS hasn't even implemented numeric UI and this game is like 3 years old now

hey everyone, new-ish player here 60 hours in trying to climb havoc. i've been using plasma gun with dueling sword, but i'm a bit stuck on the talent tree. i've been following some guides from youtube from some well known theorycrafting guy but i found havoc to be too chaotic with heavies to just rely on my sword, so i changed to this talent tree instead (can't post screen so i'll leave a link) - https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0c77c01-9edc-40d9-b11e-f124bc182a5a/look-at-talents-pls
is there any finetuning i can do or is this pretty much as meta as i can get?

quick shell
#

Tree looks generally fine, maybe 1-2 points that could be swapped around, but I don't think it'll seriously make or break the setup. Havoc just generally relies on player skill to keep track of and manage hordes

unreal nova
west dirge
# quick shell there's a guide in the pins

i know, but i was lookin for a more direct chat with people. about the points, i noticed a lot of people only taking like one toughness regen perk. i tried that and got absolutely demolished so i guess they rely more on positioning and dodging and teammates which i can't do with randoms

quick shell
#

it should just do something to show it's active on the medkit, that's all it needs

quick shell
unreal nova
unreal nova
#

It's just something you don't want to stack, but also good to know if it's worth dropping the medkit now or holding it.

#

Think everyone has only corruption damage before a wound, next station is a distance away.

#

Might be okay to drop now if Improv, but useless if not.

Guys what do you think, is it worth spending all 900 of my aquilas on the Commissar Yarrick bolt pistol skin?

Mostly more grenades lel

#

Indeed

unreal nova
#

Bleed gud when bulwarks are being a pain.

#

And your teammates simply refuses to hit them in the back.

tame lodge
#

I do get the whole comfort node thing (out for blood is mine)
But Serrated Blade still odd choice for Dueling Sword

slender elm
#

Is it?

#

Fast swings, rending nodes

west dirge
slender elm
#

Well dueling sword has shit cleave, serrated isn't going to help it

tame lodge
#

Dueling Sword's 4.5 cleave really gets beaten by the havoc horde mass

slender elm
#

Against armor i think its fine tho

#

Just throw a bunch of stacks on mauler

#

Or crusher

tame lodge
#

Dueling Sword is also a good elites killer so kraks might be a little redundant

#

Frags AoE bleed + Uncanny Strike interaction also exists

#

Which pairs perfectly

west dirge
#

Its prolly a skill issue on my part. In the 20 havoc range where im at i get so sucked in trying to melee crushers that i end up getting hit from behind or smth so kraks are just ezwin

slender elm
#

Dont run dueling then

#

Can do chainsword, hsword

#

Devil's claw

tame lodge
#

Dueling Sword does create some bad habits yeah

I currently don't know the shivs cleave

More than combat Blade light's

slender elm
#

Do shivs have access to perfect strike

unreal nova

I know 1 has less.

Because frags take too long to pop.

slender elm

How does this stealing stacks thing work

'Dot ownership'

Track record bad

unreal nova
#

Like, you pay less than $5 for L4D2 on sales.

#

You can mod it however you want.

#

Play thousands of custom maps.

slender elm
#

The fact that they lost to a sequel of a game they made, after that sequel is a decade old, is telling

unreal nova
#

Not all are good, but that's just workshop.

unreal nova
#

Valve edited alot of it.

slender elm
#

They made first, no?

unreal nova
#

If you saw the original idea.

#

Valve trimmed it down, made the loop as you see. Removed excess animations you can just mod back in.

#

Pointless bloat back when the avg PC has 100 GB - 150GB space.

slender elm
#

Hm

Back when a game being 10GB was a looooooot

slender elm
#

From says yes

#

Then again I've heard horror stories of interns shrinking a full size pirate ship to put in a bottle as a background decoration

hearty panther
#

Like Helldivers 2 put out a patch that slimmed the game from 150GB~ to 30GB.

#

This was definitely more important when your game had to physically fit on a CD ROM

slender elm
#

That and they keep firing people who know to to fix the metaphorical elevators, and people can only use stairs

hearty panther
#

Even with prices being a bit crazy right now I can go out and pick up 1TB of space on an SSD for about $100-200. Ten years ago that was almost a grand.

(Depending on the write speed you wanted anyway)

hearty panther

its like arbitrator with exe shotgyn bur way less tankier and with a worse gun

azure narwhal
#

I can... sort of? See your point
Mixed horde clear being your primary strength is definitely not a bad thing, it's true that it is not exactly "exceptional" at carapace however WS route gets all right side melee buffs making whatever melee you bring fairly good at that. Cole uses shovel

#

Also definitely not tbh

#

Arbitrator has nowhere near the ranged pressure sustain

Ah

Them even pulling out melee...

Is like rolling a god roll plasma.

No wonder why so many find on overwatch that hard.

Even on recon, you get to path to the -0.25 stam delay, but they don't even block.

If ye return to post convos

#

Both are good but zarona kicks harder overall with exe and MMF

quick shell
#

yeah that seems about right

#

is that all headshots tho

azure narwhal
#

Hence, railcannon build

azure narwhal
#

But i think they might be looking at the specials

#

You just m1 spam

undone trout
azure narwhal
#

Agri slug is fun but slow as damn

undone trout
#

reload speed on special kill

azure narwhal
#

It doesn't outdo zarona

undone trout
#

plus if you take the mmf slot that increases stacks to 15

azure narwhal
#

Which just has to spam m1

#

You can if you like, however it is a little redundant

#

Again both are good

undone trout
#

also fairly certain agri m1

azure narwhal
#

Just depends on what you want to do

undone trout
#

is equal to zarona m1

#

it has a bit more rending to it i think

#

plus if you take the extra rending on mmf

#

idk id love to see you showcase it because my setup is not done yet

#

weapon is shit

azure narwhal
#

I'll get on later and show you, shore. Also you don't have to bother with that, if you want more damage you can just grab 15 stacks of MMF n call it a day

undone trout
#

fuck me does this setup annihlate bosses though

azure narwhal
#

Ye, mmf combat shotty is great dps overall

#

Though being selective with targets regardless doesn't hurt, so you don't go ammo hungry

undone trout
#

yeah

#

surely the ranged weakspot node at the top is a far better option?

#

and the reason i say agri is better is because it synergizes more with the ranged backline role

#

you get the distance damage buff and wont be targeted by melee as much

azure narwhal
#

Also again up to you but both work

#

Exe stance and confirmed kill let vet frontline well enough

slender elm
#

exe stance is so weird

undone trout
slender elm
#

like, you just need highlighted targets to die and you get extended duration?

azure narwhal
#

So if you don't have friends

#

Forget about backline and safety

#

Pugs are literally microwave brain

undone trout
#

ye tru dat

azure narwhal
#

So yeah

#

This is why i don't make pretentious or support builds

undone trout
#

tho my real thinking is finding what synergizes most with the build and brings everything together

azure narwhal
#

Ye, course

tall torrent
dull goblet
#

can I run focus target with Helbore or do I need Marksman Focus? I find it hard to maintain stacks especially while being horded from behind lol

tall torrent
#

It’s a more generalist bonus

#

MF just scales with Helbore’s damage model a bit better

slender elm
#

Oh

dull goblet
#

Thanks thats great to know, I'll keep on trying MF but I find it hard to weave in melee and maintaining stacks at the same time

slender elm
#

Should i be shooting at crushers if i have exe stance on then

#

Your build did take the node for big bois

#

For plasma

unreal nova

they're rly just an enemy type made for u to melee

and no, wouldn't shoot them with plasma, complete waste of ammo

unreal nova

Better to not waste but... Shrugs.

azure narwhal
slender elm
#

Ok den

tall torrent
#

in lower diff u can shoot them with plasma cuz u don't get a lot of them + they have less hp + u have more ammo than u need

unreal nova
frigid rover
#

bounce lots of rounds off of crusher heads so your teammates roll their eyes at the dumb veteran magdumping crushers
then outkill everyone anyway

slender elm
#

Does not taking melee damage include damage to toughness

#

For overwatch

unreal nova
#

You cannot be hit after by melee.

slender elm
#

I see

unreal nova
#

They can shoot you to 1 hp and you'll still get it.

#

It's literally just never lose hp to melee.

slender elm
#

Not been to malice diff since forever

#

So lets see

unreal nova
#

Depends on playstyle.

#

I dodge way more so the latter is easier for me.

I'll just shovel with my db shotty

citrs r where it shines best

undone trout
#

nice

#

i am curious to see the agri on the same setup, as well as runnin tactical reload with slugs

azure narwhal
#

tactical reload is quite a big tax tbh

#

you'd lose out on dps on the long run since ultimately both combat shotguns are just m1 spamming contest

#

special is just kinda there

undone trout
azure narwhal
#

out for blood? it's okay

#

not exceptional

undone trout
#

think about how much time you spend reloading with the shotty

#

thats a dps loss

azure narwhal
#

you already have mmf and exe stance buffing reload speed

#

dropping good damage talents is a larger hit

#

you can refer to some build skeletons in this chat's pins

undone trout
#

executioners stance doesnt buff reload speed?

azure narwhal
#

oh, just MMF then, forgor

undone trout
#

mmf is only 15% max

azure narwhal
#

i mean, if you want to take it by all means

#

i don't find the need for it

#

and out for blood is unneeded toughness

#

vet has toughness sources by the gallon

undone trout
#

if anything, you could probably repurpose the 10% melee attack speed buff

azure narwhal
#

depends on melee weapons

#

some allow for it

really i just like out for blood for when im getting swarmed in melee and cant refresh executioners stance

#

that with tactical reload probs makes taking a talent away from 10% attack speed just fine

#

since duelling sword lel

#

also isnt tunnel vision overkill?

tough nova
#

The arbites update provided additional reload speed baseline to shotties iirc. the reload speed is a luxury for the most part you can generate better value elsewhere

still dove
#

is charge rate being the dump fine?

tall torrent
still dove
azure narwhal
#

allows you to outgun quite a lot

tough nova
#

There is a sweet spot with thermal/charge rate i think you want 71 charge rate 69 thermal for max shots before overheat without wasting stat allocation. Someone probably knows for sure but it looks something like that.

still dove
#

yea i saw

#

im going to try to get it rn

tough nova
#

Godspeed.

quick shell

it's a fucking pain tho

unreal nova
undone trout
#

i guess if anything could go, its longshot. really do think the 25% extra reload speed will increase dps far more than 10% more damage at short ranges. if you're going agri sniping longshot looks better but with that zarona playstyle i dont see the necessity

unreal nova
#

If you can shoot 8 times in a row, it's a good one and you get microsecs faster quick shots.

undone trout

whats the deal with Marksman? 20% strength on weakspot hits for 10 seconds after combat ability

Psyker ignoring half of the game mechanics because funny

Psyker skipping mechanics imo is fine

#

the real issue is that there is no real cost

#

high peril should be near a death sentence that unlocks your capacity to level Atoma

#

if you stay too long on it you SHOULD die, and not just on 100% explosions

narrow widget
#

high peril burns you for actual hp instantly turns psyker into bottom tier class tho lol

void dragon
#

sure, but probably high peril making you take increased damage would be a good argument, specially since you can make yourself immune to some damage via shield or Emphatic evasion

We talking about the E video where he says Veteran needs like a shit ton of nerfs even though it was already established changes that were needed to Vet even before the rework? LMAO

void dragon
#

that is how unimpactful it currently is

#

as for Veteran, i feel giving it some internal CD for its nage regeneration, so it doesnt generate a full batch of nades n a single rager swarm, would be good enought to go

#

you still would need to manage grenades, but you still can use them the most, which feels like a part of the class identity, for good or ill
