u can have it up permanently
Marty boosts are so powerful at lower health, even whilst there you're almost as tanky as a different, non marty setup at full health.
Sure, if you dodge every attack and not ever get slotted
bro forgot 100% uptime ๐ญ
I have no riff with Marty but that's a bit of concentration
In Auric it's ez pz though
this is what TDR is for
actually its a good thing the average pub random doesnt play martyrdom knife zealot anymore
i mean it's a good thing loner is fucking gone
there's also Inexorable, which is no harder to keep active than weap spec
idk
crit is also pretty much entirely passive
that's just a really... bad way to describe zealot
especially given vet is ALSO highly conditional
You still only get a good 2-3 hits depending on who you're fighting/difficulty and min maxing your hp
as is basically every other class in the game
you don't unless ur literally just facetanking
at which point, go down in difficulty
it's still situational
no more so than basically any other damage buff in the gmae
you deliberately need to be low health to take advantage of martyr
like if we're claiming vet is not situational
vet is barely situational
Is revolver exec vet a good idea
because a lot of their buffs come from simply interacting with the game
And zealots... don't?
what
You need, to be low health.
go my child and steal all the ammo
There is no other class with that kind of condition for their damage.
Really not hard to do, and inexorable?
or piety?
GOOD this makes it UNIQUE and GOOD
Not really I just did a havoc 29 with a crit build
The point is that it's still situational.
hi yes im good game design
No martyrdom
MMF is headshotting, Focus Target is spotting (which you should be doing), and WS is weapon swapping which is what you anyways
Don't get me wrong, it's great but it asks of something that no other class does.
fun but terrible ammo econ
That's pretty damn situational.
Still less situational than Zealot
I haven't played stealth veteran hardly at all yet. Going to grind that for a while next.
I'm not really sure I understand the stealth ult. You disappear, reposition, then as soon as you attack you suppress enemies around you and get a damage bonus for a bit?
Inexorable is moving, piety is killing things, marty is taking damage. at best marty is conditional, I wouldn't really say it's situational. any good marty user will keep it up for the entire game without issue
u can also throw frag nades underarm and not lose stealth. but yeah that's it, it's not very good.
chuck nades
Yes. And you can chuck nades in stealth.
But that is like
ts peaks
you can also use it for objs and repositioning
The only really big benefit for Shroudfield unfortunately.
fun node
generally worse than voc tho
stealth has a lot of utility in higher difficulties, but shroud actually offers huge damage spikes, and i dont really think vet cloak does?
it offers damage sure
Well, I guess stealth itself being a benefit but that can also be an issue.
30% damage
For 5 seconds
yeah from playing VT2 I know you can use stealth to res teammates and whatnot
yea infiltrate is generally considered to be one of the worse ults???
30% damage is pog, 5 seconds i snot
idt anyone is arguing against that like compared to the other shit vet has
look at exec stance and shout like
it sure seemed like it on paper but I wanted to ask
cloaking so fatshark cant see it to buff it
shout isn't as good at securing revives, but can do a similar job, and it has a LOT of other use too
Well that's the problem, finding good Marty users 
isnt as good at securing revives????
no
u can literally knock everything down near u and get a free like 5 whole ass seconds
you can't stagger 5 gunners across the room
it technically isnt tbh
stealth can just cloak
ok true
there's also final toll, and there's stuff that potentially walks up after etc etc
tbf
if there's a bunch of ragers/maulers/crushers whaling on the rez target
infil can't really do anything about that
dont even try ๐ ๐ฅ
voc will knock them all on their ass
that's what my friend the krak nade is for
so i think they're about the same
oh yeah
i guess u wouldn't do that huh
idk, I can't comment on infil
but playing shroud zealot
you want cc on infiltrate
on infil
I can say I think it's far superior for revives than shout is
what ranged weapons are good with infil
krak does not provide that
it's not worth it at all
doesn't matter
doesnt matter lol
vet ranged is good
take the best weapon for your keystones
infil doesn't really interact with range beyond "u do a bit more damage"
It's pain without CC
man
seems like there should be something there
like "use stealth to run up right next to someone and use double-barrel shotgun to blow them away"
alas
you are free to do that though
right
u can do that with any ability tho lol
and therefore combos with weapons that hit hard like relic or thammer
can we get shade kerillian in darktide ๐ฅบ ๐ฅบ ๐ฅบ ๐ฅบ
shroudfield is pretty close, no?
It's as close as we're gonna get
that's what i do because i take WS anyway
and DB + WS is a classic
db ws my goat
๐
not how I play huntsman
Knife + DB WS with Infil is pretty fun
huntsman gets infinite ammo and with the right talent can shoot without breaking stealth
shovel better
I've done it with the shovel too, also fun
Does the shredder frag bade count towards "Long Bomb" penance
did someone ping me
bros first h40 was a trio
im microscopic sry
Yeah someone was asking about the meta loadout for h40 and he said it seemed to be oriented towards keystoneless but he deleted the message like immediately
I'm assuming he misunderstood and immediately corrected himself
The guide lists a havoc build for veteran
I guess he noticed considering he immediately deleted the message so

When are we gonna get the better Kriegs cosmetic please obese dolphin
Do they ever put two of the same regiment in a row?
When are we gonna get fucking cadians
I am so fucking sick of the kriegers
And their wonky looking gas masks
I am so fucking sick of watching krieg players use SHOVELS and NOT HAND AXES
The 40k krieg kit DOESNT EVEN HAVE SHOVELS!!!!
We got 110th Cadians already
THATS RIGHT!!! NO SHOVELS!!!! THEY DONT EVEN USE SHOVELS IN KILL TEAM EITHER NOOO ITS EITHER BAYONETS OR HAND AXES OR A BIONIC ARM
I want them to stop putting cadia stands on everything
There's a wonderful elysian mask ruined by it
I want them to make cadian cosmetics in this game actually good
TRUE
did you know
somehow every cadian cosmetic has major issues
CALL OF DUTY HAS A MUCH MORE FUCKING FAITHFUL RECREATION OF THE KASRKIN THAN DARKTIDE????
cadian light armor (both) have incomplete mesh render in 3rd person
cadian heavy armor has collar clipping and arm render break in 1st person
cadian officer armor has really bad arm render break in 1st person
I think a lot of the cosmetics are pretty shitty but I slop them up anyway
Like the Zealot 110th helmet has had a bug ever since it released and they never fixed it lol
there's only ever been 1 good veteran torso cosmetic unfortunately
The havoc gear looks better than anything they'll sell me
I love me some bluesteel
as good as the black ones look
i refuse to go through 50 games of CBT to get them
just play >10 havocs, its heresy difficulty with some extra shit (literally)
I'll hold your hand 
again, just play low level havoc
you can knock each one out in ~20min
yeah, like i said, i want to have fun
I look at Havoc and that shite looks ridiculous.
its really not
you get a gameplay modifier and a handful of debuffs at low havoc, high havoc is hell though
now that ill agree on
also my sibling in religion there are literally lfg channels
I actually have issues with LFG
more than pubs
thats where most of my games are from
at a certain point i just stopped caring
I dont care if people play dogshit builds in aurics, but it starts to become annoying when you get into the late 20s and they refuse to take criticism
anyone know the best way to do the long bomb penance
no god no
please
just remove havoc
they'd have to remove the ranking system for this to work, so won't ever happen
i'd be ok with that
start of hab dreyko, there's a very high overlook. wait for horde to spawn, toss a nade down as far as you can.
done.
which nade?
had a zealot today that said he was "blasting in aurics" but he was struggling to achieve 10% of the team's damage as a hammer zelaot with chorus
with wounds, but not taking marty
frag/shredder
I mean rank base quick match
That would be like an upgrade from the usual quick match because at least you know you're all more or less the same level
given the havoc player base is already very small
idk if it'd work
and people prob don't want to QP with total randos
when ranking
no ranked system
this is pvp esports logic
The problem with the current one we have is everyone is getting pre-judged
pls dont bring that here
anyone is allowed to participate regardless of their havoc rank
I mean, I think the flak jacket looks ok! Sad that it hasn't ever returned in the rotation...
yeah but why would you want to play with someone of a lower havoc rank when playing havocs
fanny pack ahhhh cosmetic
you look at their build? or see what was their highest havoc they have done
but like it shouldn't really matter
if you are good enough at the game, anyone can reach rank 25
The good part about having a quick play for havocs is that you can't be prejudiced
which is better than the current system because everyone is looking if you have a certain title, you're using meta talents etc
or you're not gonna get invited
if there's a quick play, it would be very rough unless everyone loaded into the 60-second prep lobby (and probably we had the ability to change classes in said lobby)
I dig it!
Extra snack pouches.
:]
I dont think it's possible given the fact that their is something to loose with the ranking system
this isn't riotgames that has a full fledged banning system that punishes people with bad sportsmanship, and even then look at the issues that plague their higher ranks
just remove havoc, the entire system doesn't make sense to begin with
If you're against havoc then just dont play it 
add another difficulty after aurics which is equivalent to havoc 25, and use the rotating modifiers to give people variety
auric is too easy, I want fatshark to still let me play a harder gamemode
Me personally i'm at that point where I find auric being too easy
but not enough to be at H40
Need extra pockets for all the extra ammo ๐
in fact I dont have a problem with havoc 40, I just dont understand why this whole ranking system is necessary
no it doesn't
because anyone can join any game
engagement numbers
I think someone else said it best.
It's more of a challenge tower than anything.
And a 3-loss, 1 de-rank sounds... very forgiving.
^
Its already forgiving and if you can't rank up, then you don't deserve to play at higher levels yet
which is how every game work anyway
no, because a level 1 can join a havoc 40
the ranking system is all irrelevant if you turn the nameplates off
rank correlates very very roughly with skill because there are players who are good enough to duo or trio h40
from what i've seen, it doesn't mean jack shit lol
which means there are players at clearance 40 who might not be able to handle a "normal" h40 lobby but got carried
all the true survivor h40 players i've seen in the wild are trash
ive seen people with true survivor who struggle with 19s ๐
and if even they can get true survivor/h40 with that level of skill
it should be pretty achievable for good players
it just takes time and patience
Nomad title, my beloved.
I don't think I could be that good of a player...
no matter how far i throw my grenade its not blowing up before it hits the ground lol
I consider my self decent, but I'm not that good
i'm not good either but understanding what needs to be done for the team to win in havoc and having decent fundamentals is enough to climb, as long as you crutch on meta weapons/builds like i did
Gameplay question, friends.
Is a no keystone vet a viable thing? I've heard from a few folk it's good, but I am now among vet mains.
I think.
I think it depends on what you're doing
no keystone can work but iirc a lot of the good nodes on the vet tree are 1 or 2 away from the keystones so picking up a keystone ends up being most bang for your remaining skill points
e.g. almost every build is 1 or 2 away from focus target because the middle part of the tree (demo team -> tactical awareness -> 25 toughness -> bring it down) is great, and usually you want skirmisher on the right branch of the tree which is 2 away from weapon specialist
I remember seeing some revolver build without any keystones
or infantry lasgun but since they buffed MMF, why would you not want to get a keystone
I'm still just waiting for a hellgun
Idc if they won't allow you a melee weapon with but I just want some dakka but laser
if you throw it from the top of the starting bridge on the targets below, it should airburst
you can use ping to tell you the distance
i did it finally
now i gotta do marked for death penance but idk which gun to use for it
which one is that?
"during a single use of volley fire, hit enemy weak spots 4 times using a weapons secondary action, without missing a shot"
Your dude looks like Cadian border patrol with a disabled spouse and no government sanction
Christ, man.
('Twas my attempt at s funny roast)
๐ญ
@hollow ibex
I have been using tactical axe 
He just wanted to sneak you some extra ratling leftovers--
You are BASED
You know elite ball
When i finish my masteries combat shotgun and axes are gonna to be my mainstay on my krieg. Go go Death Korps Combat engineer!
just hit weakspots four times in a row while exec stance is up? use whatever non-shotgun weapon that can ADS that you're comfortable with. that should be an easy one.
Get a lasgun with 80 damage. Hellbore or infantry. ADS and hit specialists with headshots.
so it counts if i just have the torch on?
secondary fire is ADS on most weapons
or brace
torch is considered special rather than secondary
hm okay thanks, ima try it out
The torch helps me shoot because GAMES TODAY ARE TOO DAMN DARK
Oh yeah torch on infantry lasgun has been super handy
I will not adjust the slider until the image is barely visible, I will make sure I can see the image, thank you
It also tell my team where I'm looking at and light them up
facts
Your team pays attention to you?
yeah
and i don't play lights out because it's fucking ass
every single vision blocker modifier is just annoying
the only one with any identity is vent purge
because the snipers are funny
i'm ok with vent purge
Mine usually just runs off and forgets about me until the swarm takes me out
pox gas identity is making me quit the mission immediately because it needs a global cooldown
My team ignores me.
I will never ignore my team.
I acknowledge my build is suboptimal. But somehow even Ogryns are faster than me. Im sincerely perplexed when even they are half a kilo away and I've been trying to keep up
Only when i light up targets for them
And they kill them before I do
My mouse was screwy when I used Focus Target.
So... my brain attributes to not liking it.
lights out kills my eyes
discord functioning as ever
Good Lord--
run knife and you'll never have to worry about being too slow 
Why do most of the recon lasgun builds have Combat Blades? Is it the best melee out of the Veteran melees?
fucking hell fatshark needs to remove that plus 33% to overwatch talent
no
it's mostly a good mobility stick
and strong single target damage
Speedy shanker.
horde clear is extremely mid
whats this no too?
to the knife question
ahhh ok good
I want my power sword to be awesome. It's literally supposed to cut down to the atomic level.
But nooo... carapice has to fucking be the deciding factor beyond level 2--
chat what does this holster even hold
flare gun
Power sword is maybe the best weapon in the game for carapace
recon lasgun (the Mk XIV specifically) can fill horde clear for single target weapons
power sword is one of if not the best anti-carapace weapon in the game though?
By the way, for the Recon Lasgun which mark should I use? Or which one is usually used
Is why I call them blind or blind or half blind.
Does anyone else agree that the ability modifier overwatch needs to lose the +33%
6c is the good one, XII is a meme bullet hose, XIV is very good with a specific left tree deadshot build
Oh. Whatโs the difference with 6c and 12?
6c does better damage and has better accuracy but shoots slower and has less ammo
Blue has debuffs to mobility and reload speed.
As well.
The swap speed is also longer.
Since when--?
Have I been using the worst one??
Is it better than the Vraks Infantry Autogun?
no
Forever basically. Power Cycler and Sunder.
Ammo efficiency and ease of control, yes. Otherwise, vrak do more.
Mk 6 is effectively just better than the Mk 3
So, basically 12 > Vraks > 6c
The only thing they share is that they are magdump into boss guns, lul.
VIc is also better than XII.
Dang it.
โข_โข
So which laser is better
the only guns that do kill carapace are the Helbores and Bolters
so like
Zarona can work too
Wait then what the hell have I been killing
Wasting ammo.
maulers are flak
We talking crushers if cara.
If you are shooting then outside of malice or uprising, you shouldn't be playing higher diffs.
Unless you are doing hellbore or dumping bolter to open a path.
I use exe helbore all the time and I shoot them in havocs
That's hellbore.
I'm talking recon like what he's using.
Ok the 6c deffo rocks
It's one thing to shoot to apply stacks of burn, but actual magdump is baby or easy difficulty only thing.
Wait so I wasted all my resources getting this thing to 500? And perfect stats + blessings?
Oh, is a good weapon. Just don't shoot crushers.
Oh
you didn't waste anything you're just using it wrong
recon las is good horde clear so you can take kraks or an anti-carapace melee
Some weapons aren't just made to be good at everything
Hey, even the dueling sword is meh on hordes.
they're fine because every hit staggers them
Just shoot the head always
just dont expect hordes to die quickl;y
This ain't real life, we dont care for center mass
Is the chainsword a carapace thing or a horde thing
This ain't Ready Set Go where we must factor in the height over bore
Also the power falchion
I love tickling goats too
exclusively horde
Is meh. You want to clean up fast or risk pile ups.
it's one of the "can't kill crushers for shit" melees
What about the Power falchion
Only hordes. Throw in anything else and you will cry.
has god awful stagger though
not anything else chord still kills maulers and below in reasonable time
just crushers
You will go old and die before it dies.
So basically:
- Power Sword for carapace
- Chainsword for horde
- Power Falchion is the middle child
krak grenade
power falchion isn't middle child so much as it is below average at everything child
Naw, scab ragers are a nightmare.
power sdword is better at horde and armor than it
have you tried hitting them in their flak head which 2 shots them
or you use Mk IV which is a mistake
XIIIg has good single target heavies
Try doing that when there's an actual pack on you.
At 300 ping.
So Goddess knows what and if you are hitting.
Maybe all up to Tzeentch.
I love when the pack of 4 Ragers rushes past the actual melee builds towards me
power falchion is mid, I wouldn't recommend it
4? Pretty sure they are 5 in malice and more in higher.
man wouldn't it be crazy if I've tested this exact thing before?
So i turn to engage with my autogun only to be smacked harder and faster than your mom when you've gone to bed
5 then
300+ ping.
your dollar store wi-fi is not my problem
Whoa whoa whoa. How the heck you get them to move at you in meat grinder??
mod probably
Mod.
Lame
Should be built in..
How am I supposed to practice without getting my team killed?
Also, meat grinder is 0 ping anyway, already different from playing on a server.
And you also forget, it's not just ragers but mixed bs on top of it.
would the mixed bs not make it harder
Could be harder.
with scab ragers? no
Throw in 5 bulwarks being an ass and GL hitting the karks.
scab ragers aren't a threatening or inconsistent enemy type on their own
even with 40 of the thing
no I'm saying because the clip you very clearly did not watch has mixed enemies
Nesting doll Bulwarks are the true endgame
getting flanked by ragers in mixed hordes is fucking nightmarish
Also when you get stuck on terrain
and then the flamer shows up
The train level is wonderful for that
Anyone remember when bulwarks blocked EVERYTHING in front kf them?
yup I remember
Ragers scare me more than maulers. I think they're my least-favorite elite after Gunners
Love it when there's an unsee-able sniper all the way at the beginning of Rolling Steel when you're carrying those stupid energy cells.
I actually dont recall that. I feel like I could always shoot at their arms and legs
bruh what the fuck is it with HIV desperado players and taking a bunch of ammo. 
Because I just assume it's that one vid where there's 1 of everything which is unrealistic in gameplay. Also missing 2 trappers coming from weird directions.
it's not one of everything it's 2 bulwarks like 8 or something maulers the scab ragers, and bukcetheads
if it was a real match there would be more bulwarks, less ragers/maulers, and no bucketheads
Yes, FS did something. 2 trappers is minimum now.
because maulers/scab ragers don'ty spawn on dreg missions
This is what I mean, ANY lag is a factor in a real game.
It's worse higher the lag is.
i switched to a MMF build
because WS was feeling bad
due to failed weapon swaps
and now i can't get headshots because server says no
ok
It was over a year ago at this point I believe. The size of the block area was way larger than the shield and they opened themselves up less.
guess MMF and WS are both too good, so fatshart is making FT the only functioning keystone 
Actually, if it rolled scabs, 5-6 scab ragers, 2-5 maulers, 3-5 bulwarks, 2-6 plasmas is pretty normal on damns nowadays.
ah overcompensated on ragers/maulers and not enough bulwarks
Also gunners, shotgunners and reapers.
Realistically I rely on the shredder grenade and the melee teammates to handle bulwarks. I decimate their heads if that proves faster in the moment, or if im behind them -- i.e. dumdum rounds
I
am not going out of my way to test melee only with the chainsword to kill ranged enemies
I only use chainsword as a sidearm for gun builds that just shoot armor anyways
makes up for its downsides so I can just get value out of what it's good at
Yeah, but they do affect your positioning and ability to move if they get to free pelt you.
Also no 2-3 scab bombers making life hell.
yeah but in a real match I would just shoot them
and also most of the armor horde too probably
From behind cover.
Thats the neat part! There is no cover
The idea is, it's bleah in a real mixed horde situation with too many armoured bs. It's just gonna do nothing or latch on a bad thing.
Bombers can nuke you from spawn spots you can't shoot at times.
Oh no, I meant for me and you
We rarely get to have cover, and if we do find it its not for long
Or you have to risk diving to pop them.
Whatโs the dump stat on the power sword
Cleave targets.
True, but I meant more for the enemies.
Ah
You want the one for +2 hits on charged and sunder or something else.
Wait till u find out that the game doesnโt fully renders the clothing on ur arms (holes in them)
Forgot names.
When we are spamming melee swings, does it render the animations for everyone except the player?
It seems like the player gets the little slash lines only, which would make sense to conserve resources
Power Cycler and sunder (havoc) or bromemtum(auric and below.).
Ty
I think you can just use Path's guide for it imo.
Cos the game really seems to like the. 1-3 good blessings, some meh ones and too many just why is this here ones.
I want to believe they each serve a purpose
I want to believe.. but its hard to
Good luck with ranged kills on needler.
On that... 36~ damage.
Yeah, wuts up with that one..
Fatshark.
too lazy to make new blessings that actually interact with the weapon
here is a bunch of blessings that do virtually nothing but already exists so less effort
There are still better ones if we open access to ALL avaliable ones.
why yes, here is +50% cleave on weakspot hit on the weapon that can cleave a poxwalker at best
But then we could get blessings for things that make even less sense
[Sarcasm] I would love to have a strength increase with every 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round fired from my helbore
I hope you like rapid fire no charge shots.
Actually that's why I've gone with the autogun.
And then taking a holiday to reset it.
I wanted speed with some emphasis
Because you do need to stop shooting for like a sec to reset it.
Right
It's kinda stupid.
They could have just made it every other shot or every 3 shots but nope.
Forces a burst fire
Only the those 3 specific shots are buffed, no more.
Thing is, the reset timer is also jank on high ping.
Which for what I want works just fine.
At that point you gotta pray Tzeentch is on your side that day.
I haven't had the displeasure of noticing that yet
Oh, when it happens... you'll be like someone fighting against Creed's hidden Baneblades.
Omnissiah help me..
What would you prefer?
deathspitter kind of blessings
I want to experiment with both see which suits me better.
You mean the pits? That's like...on all the Veteran's cosmetics ๐
But killing is sketch on lag though. XD
simply don't have lag
Only 1 is okay. And that's the rogue trader one.
The way I play currently is to use executioner stance as much as possible to chain the stacks. And outside of that shoot weakspots in bursts. Im trying to maximize dps
on what weapon
no, if u go into 3rd person (or have someone inspect ur character in 3rd person), the clothing that covers ur arms have their mesh degraded and have holes in them
it's pretty cringe
i hate salvo blessings because they make you play in a dumb manner
Infantry autogun
this has been reported and never fixed
Im more than open to corrections/suggestions
Is it loading low LoD models?
Yea, I've never seen that before
LoD helps but it's like
LOD = 2 means past 2m the issue shows
lol
even max LOD doesn't "fix it"
Oh.
just the base mesh needs to be fixed
Infantry autoguns has great blessings in DumDum, Fire Frenzy, Deathspitter, Speedload
Is that how LoD works in this game.
tho maybe i'm just too hivescum pilled
To be fair, most ppl don't purposely stand still.
The only big issue I've seen with cosmetics was on the Krieg coat when it first released
And the little pack on the chest was like...flat
Two dimensional
I really like DumDum. Its just hard to flank the enemy on a consistent basis
LOD affects the distance at which objects are rendered well
The commissar set feels like that.
DumDum doesn't really deal with flanking
As in the 1-5 thing.
Isn't that the one where you get damage boost for shooting them in the back?
that's Raking fire
Oh. Ive mixed them up
I thought it was more than just m.
DumDum is +6% damage on close range hit, up to 30%
If they are close enough even flanking, is fine.
yes
2 = 20m shadow render
assuming u have lighting quality set to medium or higher
Ah. Right. I haven't been sure about that one. I think it would be helpful for if I can shoot some close ones and then some far ones, but usually I pull out my sword to make space for me to shoot something far away
Oh, so this is why 5 murdered my PC.
if you shoot in bursts i would just use a vigilant autogun tbh
Ill have to try that.
I originally wanted to do the helbore but it just felt too slow especially when I needed to be mobile because of the constant swarms.
i would consider the revolver or the plasma gun
But I also want to try melee vet. Seems like I could benefit from experiencing different playstyles
Currently off. The current patch tanks my PC hard enough I barely have 60 fps on below low.
Melee vet is usually pistol sidearm.
Those all felt really slow too. The bolster is great for single target, and plasma helps do horde clearing. But Im not fast enough for single target unless its a boss, and again I rely on the melee for horde
plasma doesn't really do horde clearing
Oh?
it's a straight shot
I thought that's one of its strengths. Shoot at ground and splash?
you can shoot it into the horde if you really have to, it does cleave a ton, but it's a waste of ammo
uh no
It can, but only on maps with tunnels.
you see an enemy and you shoot it
Hey what blessings do ya'll use on the Inf Lasgun. I've been using Headhunter and Ghost, but... I dunno if that's the best combo
it's really geared for being anti-specialists
It just slices through any not cara stuff on the way.
Huhm. Currently im yhe one getting rid of the specialists anyway
So you're saying the plasma gun or the bolter will give me better damage output in general than dumping ballistics ?
they're lower ammo econ guns that have better TTK vs things that need to die fast
Interesting...
Oh, bolt pistol != bolter.
I have been looking at the shotgun..
bolt pistol is the less damaging and less clunky little brother of the bolter
Less clunky depends.
boltpistol is what happens when u take a good weapon and castrate it
If you know the ADS shuffle every shot, is fine...
happens with the bolter too tho
Otherwise... pointblank or 0 accuracy past first shot.
Acknowledging that this game allows for people to do what they want with what we've been given, so there is no one "right way" to play; what do you all recommend as a playstyle for the weapon I've been running then?
It's just a step to the right...
Yeah, but one is magdump in midrange, the other is more a specialist killer.
Which weapons are you running
Look, we can all agree it needs like +5 damage. I hate trappers running away with 4 hp left after bleeding.
They work for melee ws as well btw.
As long you run VIc.
VoC?
Not efficient like semiauto or single shots.
But if you lean more towards the melee end, can work.
I think it needs recoil fix
They said they tried and it didn't work, remember?
Recon lasgun can certainly be spammed more
I would just use them to take out specalists and elites and use melee otherwise
Thats essentially what Ive been doing.
Ive become pretty good at shooting enemies in the face after 70 hours of veteran..
they said they decided to do a bandaid fix with the actual recoil fix delayed till a later date
I dunno, stabbing faces funnier.
So delayed for 2 years?
But they're diseased and gross and ugly
Why do you think extra stabbable?
Agreed

I wonder if they lied about the fix and hoped ppl forget.
that's kinda hilarious
It's FS. I swear if the fix turns it into always firing straight, will just laugh.
Prob got pushed to lower priority
I guess. Kinda sucks when said gun is the epitome of mediocre at best if not used as a statstick.
sticky surprise
more explode
Beeg boomies, yes.
Bolt pistol is good tho๐ญ
Ah shit i thought this was general lol. Bolt pistol is good but i feel like itโs best on arbites
no bolt pistol is so fucking annoying to use
it is just that tiny bit short on damage into every single enemy you want it to kill no matter what
meaning you have to shoot them again and it makes me do a double take every goddamn time
that I shoot a flamer and they don't die on a headshot
or a gunner
or when I have to shoot a reaper a third time because I didn't expect this god fucking awful miserable excuse of a gun to just barely not kill them in 2 shots
Like just about every other gun in the game would have
Itโs why i added my followup message. On arbites itโs good because you have so mmay damage buffs it can reliably start one tapping most things
It really isnโt
The dev who was tasked to fix it
Not very successfully might I add
Its good on all classes equaly
Meanwhile humble vet on the side 
Vet hits better breakpoints than arb
Yeah but i havenโt used the gun on vet so I mentioned arb cause i know it cam be good on arb
Itโs ok on arb
Itโs good on arb
bistol is a potentially good gun that is just so mid by itself
it kinda makes it mid everywhere else
Itโs just ok
It doesnโt do anything exceptionally well
And it doesnโt address arbโs biggest weaknesses
falling asleep mid match?
I guess just agree to disagree
True
bath is kinda just right here tho
Itโs just a basic serviceable special sniping gun
And as a special sniping gun itโs pretty mid
If bpistol had slightly more damage
and it really doesn't need to be much
it'd be pretty good
Pretty fast, pretty reliable, very good all round
as it is, it misses that breakpoint and suffers immensely
Arb can easily get it to one shot most things you would want one shot. Itโs good on arb. Iโm not saying itโs meta or anything
right but you can also just use a combat shotgun or something and do the same job with way less effort and better
right but that's what's being said, it's not good, it's passable
It doesnโt hit havoc 1 taps afaik
Only class that can hit havoc 1 taps well now is vet
And even for vet itโs just mid
kinda hard for it to be anything other than mid when the hellbore is right there
I donโt think itโs competing in the same space as helbore
eh, I guess
This may be the first time i have ever heard the two compared lol
there's stil the revolver and stuff too
the direct competitors against boltpistol pretty much all hit better breakpoints than it does (all of them can be pushed to 1 atk kill priority enemies in havoc)
the only thing boltpistol does better is AOE stagger which doesn't even stagger elites well
I do like the feel of the weapon
But missing various breakpoints like that is truly the worst
but
yeah
nothing worse than shooting something with ur 8 round pistol
and seeing it sitting there on 2 hp
feels awful
recoil is ass
reload is just a bit slower than where it should be
breakpoints are ass
yeah the recoil doesn't feel good, but the shooting itself is satisfying
Its what I would expect from a pocket rocket
Shooting 40k weapons in first person makes me wonder how people in lore who uses a bolt pistol doesn't snap their wrist firing
(Pls dont come at me I know its 40k)
there are different grades of standard issued more powerful/exotic weapons like bolt pistols, a commissar using a marine's bolt pistol would be both comical and deadly, in the literal sense
the same logic applies to astra militarum power fists
marine power fist would just implode you
I mean I would imagine it's somewhat similar to a desert eagle or other high calibre sidearm, but im pretty sure ur meant to 2 hand those 
Gaunt runs around with a bistol and psword
but yes
games take
HUGE
liberties
we literally have
shakespeare level ogryns
yeah
Donโt we have a brain chip installed
I completed everything on release, heard there's many changes since then
anything I should know?
is plasma canon and powesword still meta for veteran?
Nork Dedog was a genius by ogryn standards.
He could spell his own name.
not his surname.
i believe one of the ogryns has a bone'ead implant yes, but it is malfunctioning
check pinned guide
and yes they're still very strong for vet
and yet
he is a goddamn genius
btw even with proper bonehead chips ogryns are comically stupid by comparison
only the dumbest one (brawler) does and it's malfunctioning
all of them do
all? not sure about all
nah only 1 does
then again i do not play ogryn, this is literally what i hear in matches
really?
the rest talk abt wanting to get implants
ur telling me that the new ogryn personality
yup
isn't a bonehead?
no evidence suggests he is
Yeah they don't have Bonehead besides brawler
you're playing the same game where you can run up to a beast of nurgle and take nothing but a bit of corruption damage
i do not think they care
and frankly he doesn't even have imperial guard experience so
why do we have the smartest ogryn in ogrynkind history in what equates to a penial batallion

very unlikely he got bonehead
What is the lore for the new ogryn anyways is he a ganger
yeah
yup
he was muscle for a gang
Thet explains why he keeps saying doornailed
he's a ganger who tried to belittle everybody for no reason
u can't even blame him being mean/aggressive on ptsd or what not
cuz first of all he's an ogryn I'm not sure ptsd even applies
He is meaner than bully this is true
I havent heard the new ogryn much
I heard in-game (i think) he was cussing out professional vet
But thats about it
the first one doesnt seem to have a plasma build
there's a plasma gun and power sword build in the havoc tab
thx
LOL
maybe he'll sound better with some voice modulators
like cutthroat does
it's hilarious cuz i usually run tanky shield build with the bodyguard personality so i end up being a hero
only to get reminded at the end screen "you should pad your stats now!"
this still good or should I change anything?
definitely need changes
u can visit the surgeon and get a personality scourge for 50k dockets to get that choice again
thx is 50k a lot?
it's like 1 auric game's worth of dockets
do u have to complete the campaign first in order to do that?
or can u bail from the get go?
if ur on a fresh start acc and never did campaign, don't think u can skip like that
and these options doesnt really matter do they?
Nope
Cadia lets you pick cutthroat vet and purple eyes but thats about it
is that a voice? ctthroat vet?
Usually i use the knife, but im thinking of trying the chainaxe. Does someone use this one?
so these stats are not random anymore but depend on the mastery level which is increased destroying other guns, most efficiently same kind of gun, correct?
number on left = current
number on right = max potential
max potential is what matters most
and it's still RNG
and how I rerrol it?
and plasma has a very specific perfect stat distribution
Get another weapon
and I know the stats when I receive the gun or I must ugprade it to yellow first?
yeah doesnt seem to change
Upgrading rarity just gives additional perk/blessing slots
ok so I need to roll any plasgun with
80% everything else
69% Thermal Resist
71% Charge Rate
Yes
Yes
and how are perks and blessings unlocked and upgraded?
The stats on the right are pretty much the only thing that matter when rolling new weapons
which duelling sword is the good one
mastery leveling
I think its the mk4?
yeah prob
nice, thanks
and I can get guns randomly from mission rewards or buy them on some npc I forgot right?
so I don't need to store guns anymore right? even if they have good perks/blessing, they are only usefull to level up mastery or to be upgraded and used if they have good stats
yup exactly
thank you very much
this window needs a "plasma gun" filter
also seems this recomended sword from the guide didn't existed when I played "Power Sword
Achlys ยท Mk VI"
it's been in the game for a very long time
not on release?
oh idk about that far back
it's just been in the game for years
idk what the mark was back during release
No it was added in 2023
We have 20+ long maps now
3 short maps
3 arena maps
sweet, thanks
what's the difference between rolling guns on brunts or on "mystery adquistions"
higher chance to have higher numbers?
oh wait can't even chose the weapon type
Melkโs mystery rolls are โany itemโ
Only roll curios at melk
thx
Thatโs basically his only purpose
well maybe if I see a proper rolls gun on the selection I'll get it too
If ur low on resources, get plasma with 60% thermal resist
Itโs not as good but still fine
is current so bad?
Yea itโs prob gonna miss breakpoints
stopping power is for "knock back animation" right?
for triggering it
guide says
80% everything else
69% Thermal Resist
71% Charge Rate
but I tought charge rate is important to be 80 because... you're charging all the time
69 thermal is the breakpoint for 8 shots uncharged
if u cant get that, just dump thermal
Armor damage modifier
Charge rate affects hipfire (left click) prefire delay
didn't plasma used to shoot trough walls?
not infinite
How would you characterize it?
very high cleave through hordes
but it isn't infinite
infinite implies it has infinite cleave, like flamer or inferno
it's in the guide
this is a common mistake: neither have infinite cleave
any point going higher or there's no way to get more than 8?
u'd need specific blessings to go above 8
probably not worth then thanks
anyay once I reach like 80something I cooldown between shots
Optimized Cooling
About 11 shots
Pair it with Blaze Away
And suddenly you have too much power not enough ammo in your hands
plasma gun doesnt go kaboom anymore?
arent all shots charged shotsร?
when did this change? most recent update/patch?
Technically yes but I mean the secondary action
uh oh, i bought that one ๐ข
that's just for raising temperature without shooting right?
to reach the high temp treeshold where shots do more damage
Higher temperature shots dont do more damage without specific blessings
At least iirc
Charged shots do hit harder but itโs not worth it
and there's any point to cooldown button?
I can just click and it cooldowns too when it's high temp
this should give achlys? I'm only getting scandar
oh nice, thanks
and there's nofilter by gun type? I'm scrolling so much finding the weapon type I want
oh can sort by name
ah grey weapons cannot be sacrificed?
no, upgrade them once for maximum sacrificial efficiency
only costs plasteel and dockets, no precious diamantine
Open up masteries(?) In your character tab and you can spend points there
I think this is just worded a bit confusingly
Yeah itโs 20
oh I need to spend blessing points on useless blessings to unlock highjer lvl blessings right?
in mastery yes
thats why they have ranks you have to spend on
each level improve their bonuses
once you level them up the level of the blessing you can add is unlocked
Thats why we are here
20% is x80%
this is just worded as how the game calculates DR
What kind of crazy person goes gunner + hp + toughness
๐ญ
it's good tho
I made the build sections
read it first
I didn't put this on all 3 curios
I know
then u kinda don't get to judge
I will judge
When I eventually roll for plasm agun I'll shoot for 70%/70% therm/charge if I cant get the perfect one
I dont have every weapon with perfect stat. but most of them that I do I got from showing up in store or rarely from mission rewards
I have to yet "roll"
Lmfao Bloons meme
dump thermal
if ur not going for 'the roll'
that doesn't get u extra shots
and just wastes charge spd
no
but guide reccomends the oposite
flak and unarmoured
it's not a boss killer that's why
