Change me mind

calm shard
#

I was playing like this for laspistol+falchion personally

tall torrent
vestal widget
#

ooh mmf laspistol thats another one i havent played for a while

orchid hemlock
cerulean flume
#

Thank GOD FINALLY

#

Delta 17 is done

hexed arch
#

btw every curio buff stacks right?

tall torrent
calm shard
#

but a more "normal" build for helbore imo

#

if you aren't a freak like I am and actually care about middle/right tree

hollow ibex
#

1 point away from skirmisher 😭

calm shard
#

marksman means you don't have to crit to 2 shot auric crushers

#

and makes sure you can 2 shot havoc ones on crit with exe

tall torrent
calm shard
#

I really don't recommend it personally

#

reciprocity is too good to pass up

tall torrent
#

I wouldn't either

calm shard
#

and you really feel the missing 15% melee damage when you do have to melee

tall torrent
#

if only falchion was good

calm shard
#

honestly having played with it a bit

#

it's probably best in slot sidearm for MMF Laspistol builds

#

or regular lasgun builds

#

you don't have the investment to make regular power sword less of a chore to use

hollow ibex
#

yeah falch's pretty decent as a ranged build sidearm

calm shard
#

and you can only throw so many kraks so you need a melee that kills hordes+carapace and doesn't have high investment

#

and its usual weakness into ragers doesn't matter just shoot them

tall torrent
calm shard
#

it's a lot safer than tac axe tho

#

since it has cleave

tall torrent
#

it's quite a bit worse dodge

#

and significantly worse stagger

#

and worse sprint bonus

hexed arch
#

is the atrox VII the only good tactical axe?

tall torrent
distant plaza
orchid hemlock
hexed arch
#

does the II have any benefits to it?

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

no

hexed arch
#

mmmm

#

welp

orchid hemlock
hexed arch
#

for my sniper build would a shovel work

orchid hemlock
#

Shovel is fine, but you will lack boss damage unless you have kraks

hexed arch
#

i've got a bunch of perks that give me pretty good ranged damage against bosses

#

i used to have the krak but without the perk that gives it 75% bonus damage what's the point of using it

orchid hemlock
#

I don't even remember if Helbore is good into bosses

hexed arch
#

i'd rather use shredder

#

if you have good aim probably

orchid hemlock
#

Kraks have become the norm due to how easy they are to spam now

hollow ibex
hexed arch
#

yeah but without the bonus damage perk why bother

#

with the perk i use krak without it i use shredder

mortal horizon
#

anyone have a good recon lasgun talent tree i could copy for now with the new tree? whats good for h40 for recon now, focus target keystone right?

#

cerulean flume
#

Which ability to get? Voice of command?

#

Executioner’s stance?

quick shell
#

u can use either

azure narwhal
# cerulean flume Executioner’s stance?

yeah, either work. Notably, voice of command provides AoE stagger and golden toughness (does not allow chip damage as long as it is up), exec stance provides stun immunity, wallhacks and passive toughness gen

cerulean flume
#

I like the toughness regen

azure narwhal
#

VoC leans towards team play and utility

cerulean flume
#

👀

quick shell
#

exec also offers ranged damage

tepid otter
#

depends on the weap I use mainly

azure narwhal
#

exec stance helps vet fall more easily into his frame

cerulean flume
#

Cuz I wanna pick off elites

quick shell
#

it's a more active playstyle imo

cerulean flume
#

Specials too

azure narwhal
#

yeah exec stance then

tall torrent
#

both abilities work with all weapons

azure narwhal
#

take the bigger they are subnode and ur good to go

tall torrent
#

stance makes u veteran pro max plus

#

VoC is a good fight reset tool that also gives team gold toughness

#

quick question, this isn't related to veteran but whenever the hive scum does the bubbly pool thing my fps goes to shit, any mod or sth to remove the effect?

calm shard
#

can't post mod nexus links or discord will ban you from what I've heard so y'know

#

don't

hexed arch
#

dude i know that mod

#

i thought it was only for the psyker bubble

#

thanks a bunch

lusty fog
#

is there a mod that makes ur flashlight good or visiblity better

#

without the healthbar stuff

#

i feel like i'm taking crazy pill when my teammate has way brighter flashlight than me

#

what am i using, a candle ? 😂

calm shard
#

lets you choose the other weapons flashlights

#

(and yes flashlights are different per weapon)

lusty fog
#

damn

#

that's crazy

#

which gun has the best flashlight ?

tame lodge
#

Iags and iLas iirc

calm shard
#

yeah

#

ilas have the big flashlight

lusty fog
#

I used las gun I think

#

Their flashlight felt the same for me

#

I wonder if it's because I play the game on low

#

what’s the best recon las gun variant?

the hipfire recoil for Boltgun isn't that bad

tbh i felt like the burst autogun had the worst recoil so far

#

god forbid controller has reduced recoil in a PVE game

#

If people get mad, they can do special//elite duty instead of pushing it on me.

shell bane
#

Is 20% health curio worth maxing or should I just wait till I get a 21%?

#

How harsh is the RNG on getting 21%s

slender elm
#

The wait is long af

shell bane
#

Alr guess I'll max it then

slender elm
#

I'd just prioritise weapon/class variety tho

unreal nova
#

Just use a 20 till a 21% shows up.

formal ice
#

1% isn't worth it

#

Only if it's 2%

#

Because it's double

shell bane
#

Wouldn't wanna waste resources on something I'm gonna switch out real soon

#

Same goes for 17% toughness I assume?

#

I got a 16% one

unreal nova
#

Yeah. Only one you need to be sure is stam. +1 is big. But they come more often and if 410+, is real.

#

Wounds is lower power better cos cheaper to change.

#

But only for zealot martyrdom anyway.

fresh nimbus
#

I haven't heard a backstab sound warning in weeks...it hurts T.T

#

And my "kill dregs with melee" contract seems like it's only tracking like...2 kills at a time?

dry cloak
#

So if most of the enemies weat black armour its nit gonna count up much

fresh nimbus
#

Yeah I counted the ones I killed in the mission, definitely more than two unfortunately.

dry cloak
#

Also a thing

#

Kills in coherency count

#

So if your friendly ogryn kills s dreg it will count if you are close

slender elm
#

My stupid chaxe ilas build

#

Idk how to improve this shit

#

Except running a less stupid weapon i suppose

jaunty herald
# slender elm

Replace Field Improv for the talent that gives bleed on melee attacks to the right side of it

slender elm
#

But moar grenades

jaunty herald
#

The regen every 60 secs is good enough

slender elm
#

For the team tho

unreal nova
slender elm
#

Eh fair

unreal nova
#

Is more important for havoc tbh.

slender elm
#

Not really playing havoc

unreal nova
#

Where you need to minmax everything due to limited stuff.

slender elm
#

I'm just here be like chainaxe slow and cleaves poorly

#

So bleed application limited

unreal nova
slender elm
#

Yeah im using mk 11 or something

unreal nova
#

Cos one mark has a horde clear push atk like Rashad.

slender elm
#

Ye not that one

unreal nova
#

The other is heavy for hordes, lights for armour.

#

I think.

slender elm
#

No, other way round

vestal widget
#

iv is latched lights horde clear hevies

#

xii is horde clear lights and latched heavies

slender elm
#

That's the one ye

#

Rashad moveset but no hordeclear

unreal nova
#

Ah.

vestal widget
#

the lights on the xii have huge stagger so horde trash flops around a lot

#

i think the chainaxes have cleave dmg cap, unless they removed it when they did the evi's (I haven't played chainaxes recently)

slender elm
#

Damage only extends to 4th enemy, so it says

#

Maybe I should just play rashad instead 🤔

unreal nova
slender elm
#

Sad, oh well

#

Do I want bleed talent on rashad

unreal nova
#

Just need stamina lul.

slender elm
#

probably just get more nades for more bleed

fresh nimbus
#

Man, I understand this game is about moving along the map, but people need to stop with this "you gotta be sprinting forward at all times" crap. Like sure move when you can, but not when there's only one dude on the team who seems to be able to handle crushers and you leave them with no ammo e.e

#

And yeah, shredder life forever

slender elm
#

let your team die lol

unreal nova
fresh nimbus
#

The funny thing is watching them lock in all of a sudden once i'm downed by like the 8 crushers the dude pulled

slender elm
#

my ammo usage on ilas is negative

#

i actually generate more ammo over the course of the mission

unreal nova
#

Is why I took a liking to just burny stick or desperado/pickpocket pewpew.

#

For pubs.

slender elm
#

burny stick? psyker?

fresh nimbus
#

Las ammo perk is love, wish I was using a lasgun sometimes

unreal nova
fresh nimbus
#

Can confirm, dnd burning hands is effective

unreal nova
#

Pull out sword for uncanny if too many armoured.

unreal nova
fresh nimbus
#

I just toss a shredder into the enemies who are staggered in teh flames

#

It's satisfying

unreal nova
#

They just gotta die is the mindset.

fresh nimbus
#

Ammo permitting

unreal nova
#

What ammo? Cooldown bar lul.

fresh nimbus
#

I meant for me killing the stuff my friendly neighborhood psyker has rooted in place.

slender elm
#

ew smyker

#

also just rip and tear

tame lodge
#

Pog smyker

fresh nimbus
#

I'll throw the chainarang next time

unreal nova
#

Also, I do run headpop burny so, no perma stagger.

#

The CC is death by burns.

Void Strike just sucks at 300 ping, even on lower diffs.

steep flower
steep flower
unreal nova
#

For that run.

#

EK needs slight buffs to alt fire, still okay since I just play heresy. Purga is... sus on 300 ping. It may or may not stagger. Same like flamer tbh.

#

You just compensate by spamming more.

unreal nova
#

Plasma already feels bad taking around 0.6 secs to feedback after the charge.

#

That's longer charge, then an 0.3~ sec before projectile actually launches out.

#

Then good luck with it actually hitting, or fake hitting.

hexed arch
#

is a bolter pistol good for a sniper build?

silver patrol
#

no

#

bolter pistol is kinda stinky as an actual ranged weapon

#

the Helbore is what you are searching for

tough nova
foggy linden
steep flower
lusty fog
#

so i got two bolt gun, 1 with 66% stability ( the rest are 80% ) , 1 with 60% reload speed ( the rest is also 80% ) which is better

lusty fog
silver patrol
#

but the one with 66% stability is the better of the two

steep flower
lusty fog
#

gotcha

tall torrent
lusty fog
#

also is there a vid on build that combine powersword and boltgun

#

i havent seen any so far

steep flower
# tall torrent Collateral

Imagine sprinting with boltgun
Colla makes sense to have 80 on both marks cause mob really does not give anything substantial

It’s just not relevant

steep flower

#

There’s not a single weapon with collateral that doesn’t dump collateral

slender elm
#

sigh, tried some power axe in sm2

#

it is absolutely infuriating that doing proper parries is impossible due to latency

#

fuck it, im just gonna chop dudes

fresh nimbus
#

not going to lie, I dumped mobility on my boltgun

#

Though I'm pretty sure either way you go doesn't matter, they both aren't really going to change your gameplay really

narrow yacht
#

so is dueling sword parry supposed to work against plague ogryn stomp? because i just tried it since i was already trapped in a corner and it killed it instantly from like 20% health

#

on damnation so not like it has an insane amount of health but still

tall torrent
narrow yacht
#

so it will work against a crusher or mauler? i'll have to keep that trick in my pocket then that would have saved me a couple times

#

i have 6 TB storage in my desktop and i can't bring myself to download the game again even though it's one of my favorite games ever

#

should also note that's just the size of the DLC i own it doesn't download the maps you don't own, so there's a whole other map they released recently to factor in on top of the 464 GB

what's the DS dump it's finally time to stop using the 62 damage slop i've been using to level it up

turbid ibex
#

cleave for the mk4 and defense for the others iirc

unreal nova
narrow yacht
#

not cleave on the mark 2 also?

tame lodge
#

I personally wouldn't dump cleave on any of the DS

#

(slight hit on unarmored damage)

#

But also Mk2 has a different heavy

#

Which likes cleave targets for the unarmored damage

unreal nova
#

Just dump mobility if you don't wanna get 2 different DS.

tame lodge
serene bough
#

I still weep for the loss of the darktide meme channel

tame lodge
#

Tbh just dump cleave on all the DSs

#

You don't care about hordes because you bring frags with DS

turbid ibex
#

tbh just dump cleave on all weapons

tame lodge
#

And mk2 is kinda hard to justify atm

turbid ibex
#

dump every single stat

tame lodge
#

It used to be Mk4 but better but now it's just there

But still

trim badger
tame lodge
#

I ain't losing on unarmored damage

#

In fact I gotta recheck

#

Before the nerf you'd lose about 60 damage on the pokes

trim badger
tame lodge
#

For some reason it does on dueling sword specifically

#

But it's only unarmored and infested

#

Like

#

Then we have evis/power sword

#

Anyways
You can easily make up on 60 unarmored damage on vet because vet is just that good

#

But personally
I wouldn't dump cleave on dueling sword

tame lodge
# tame lodge

Oh it also states flak but it doesn't change flak damage for some reason

tame lodge
#

Hmm

#

For some reason I thought that DS had cleave targets instead of cleave damage

#

I may just got Mandela effected

narrow yacht
#

too many numbers for ogryn mind, Krump think club fun club go bonk

azure narwhal
tame lodge
#

Mk2 was Mk4 but better

#

But now you don't have the quick heavy special heavy special

#

So the single target combo is annoying

azure narwhal
#

I personally just throw in a light

#

And cope with "but uh i proc uncanny a lil quicker"

#

Qq swap would be faster

#

But fuck that

tame lodge
#

#

It looks bad and i like looking good

QQ swap is annoying

it's not a particularly good talent

Id personally run something other than kill zone up top

there's better places you can spend that talent on

what do you guys recommend?

Show the rest of your tree

hollow ibex

maybe a nade talent, but yeah depends on the rest of your tree

tinkerer if this is for havoc

otherwise maybe trench fighter or rending strikes

depending on your melee

using psword

trench fighter then if you don't need tinkerer

still dove

ok bet thank you

Also is 62% thermal resis fine or is the dump stat still really specific

68 is gambling. 69 is guaranteed.

In my last game, an Arby was using the tactical axe, and he was able to handle like, everyhting. And it was so fast. When I tried that weapon as a veteran itt didn't seem that fast. Am I missing somethting, or is that one of the advantages of Arbites?

I build +31% health for all 3 low hp classes

I’ve also always been a toughness stacker enjoyer but fatmangus zealot has turned me onto hp’s value more and I’ve swapped to a 200HP psyker build and also think I like it.

tall torrent
#

DT just isn’t as much of a stamina management game like VT2

#

+2~3 stam is usually enough for every class besides ogryn (which u don’t need any)

#

If block efficiency curio perks were actually good I’d prob take that over +stam

junior grail
#

I miss attack speed trinkets

I wish block cost curio perks were good in this game

If they were x0.8 instead of x0.88 they’d actually be top tier for most builds compared to +stam curios

You honestly won't see a significant difference unless you did a dumb and dumped damage.

It is; bois prefer minor movement spd over 1 less shot on bulwarks to break their shield & stagger (despite the fact that sometimes that will happen that you will shoot the shield no matter what)

Hm so boltgun n powersword r just naturally slow

steep flower
# lusty fog Hm so boltgun n powersword r just naturally slow

Yeah; sprinting on boltgun is pepega move + despite it increasing movement spd on ADS realistically you don’t walk while doing so - you dodge cause most likely you will be attacked either by range or melee + it covers more distance than just walking

unreal nova
steep flower
#

Thats why mobility is a dump stat on it

steep flower
#

They get medium stagger

unreal nova
steep flower
#

Maybe maulers/scab ragers cause they can survive more but thats just pepega thinking - the moment you shoot them you most likely hipfire at them and not trying to hit the head - you shoot the body

lusty fog
stable socket
#

according to the guide, powersword apparently has pretty good sprint speed (+0.27) but the dodges aren't super good, so if you run boltgun + powersword just swap to melee when moving

lusty fog
#

I see

unreal nova
#

It's surprising if even one person joins.

(also if you're in a scenario where you need to dodge, 99% of the time you want to have your melee out anyway)

#

NGL this may be not the game for me atm

#

I just did malice with rando and struggled quite a bit

#

The amount of control required is a bit much for me on controller

stable socket
#

it takes a bit of work/learning/experience to get the fundamentals down, at which point the game (generally speaking) becomes more fun

steep flower
unreal nova
#

It's really a game that either forces you to get good and solo or have friends to enjoy.

runic estuary
#

Hands up stinkys

unreal nova
#

If you play on dead servers.

runic estuary
#

I have a question

stable socket
#

but if you're not having fun right now and don't want to put in the effort/hours to learn (which is perfectly reasonable btw, no shade) then you shouldn't play because games are meant to be played for fun

unreal nova
#

Or just suck it up and play a less fun version at 300-400 ping.

lusty fog
#

I like how they mix up sections of map to make it more dynamic tho

runic estuary
#

Would it better to run bolter or plasma gun for end game content

lusty fog
#

I wish space marine did that

lusty fog
stable socket
#

weapon choice is largely preference, both bolter and plasma are good all the way up to high havoc

runic estuary
lusty fog
#

These seems doable on k + m lol, the problem is just that I'm playing with controller and only had a couple of months experiencing it

runic estuary
#

And when I do I like spamming krak grenades

#

Since grenades in this game feels really good to use

#

Although it would feel even better if the game wasn’t constantly crashing and error coding me

stable socket
#

imo bolter requires more skill because of the slower pullout + less cleave + you have to reload every 15 shots but can do boss deletion whereas plasma has faster draw, insane cleave and you only have to reload every 40ish shots (you have to quell every 8 though)

runic estuary
lusty fog
#

Helldivers 2 and space marine 2 ( I pirated the campaign) gives you time and space to take break in middle of combat but this game is a lot of fast reaction and multiple inputs

stable socket
#

so for pure special sniping plasma is probably easier to use? but bolter lets you magdump bosses better (plasma is vaguely ok vs bosses but not amazing). this is just my personal take on it though

runic estuary
stable socket
#

i run plasma + psword in h40 because i lack skill so an easier loadout lets me perform better

runic estuary
#

I think I’ll take the bolter please <:3

azure narwhal
runic estuary
#

And as for melee should I run a shovel or a power falchion for crowd control since my grenades and bolter do special/elite/boss/range damage

lusty fog
#

Oh when I did special and block at the same time, it did the odd animation

unreal nova
runic estuary
#

I personally don’t like the chainsword since I feel like I’m hitting things with a wet noodle

stable socket
#

vet's best melee is prolly powersword (mk6, the one whose push attack is a stab) by a long shot

#

it's kind of the metaslave option though, a lot of weapons can work

lusty fog
runic estuary
#

How is the shovel?

#

Specifically the one without the overhead strike mode

stable socket
#

meta is meta for a reason, it's relatively straightforward and you get a loooooot of damage for not much effort

tough nova
#

It is good

stable socket
#

i think the non-folding shovel is probably the best mark?

tough nova
#

Throw uncanny with skullcrusher and you're good

runic estuary
#

Writing that down

stable socket
#

you prolly want uncanny + some other blessing, and then take serrated blade for bleed to help with horde clear cuz iirc shovel heavy hits a lot of dudes but doesn't do that much cleave damage so applying bleed to everything helps you clear dense horde faster

runic estuary
#

Now for grenade perks. Should I have increase of damage of grenades or have more grenades

stable socket
#

yes

unreal nova
runic estuary
stable socket
#

i like having both

runic estuary
stable socket
#

the important one for high havoc when running kraks is increased damage though

#

cuz it lets you oneshot h40 crushers

runic estuary
#

Splendid!

stable socket
#

the "+1 max nade, 20% chance to double up" is good qol but not mandatory, i just like having more nades in case a situation goes real south

runic estuary
#

I see marksmen being the worst out of the three?

quick shell
#

The extra nade node isn’t worth on kraks really imo

#

They often stick to the same target and therefore do nothing

stable socket
#

it's more for the +1 max when highrolling demo team

#

if you get a bunch of nades back it means you can use 4 in the next bad fight instead of 3, but if there are more helpful nodes this is prolly the first one i'd cut

#

20% chance for double krak damage on bosses is vaguely helpful but unreliable

#

for the purple keystones all are good, i'd take the one that you are closest to (usually focus target or weapon spec unless you're running a lasgun build)

#

cuz the meta vet tree is 1 away from both focus target and weapon spec (i.e. you can take whichever one you want)

runic estuary
#

Okaaaaay

#

So don’t take left tree never?

distant mural
#

U can its not bad.

runic estuary
#

Because the idea of standing still kinda….kinds sounds asscheeks

distant mural

So you’re playing old style vet?

Before he got keystones?

distant mural

With exe stance i have no keystone

Potential ideas

dry cloak

Imo keystones on vet are a very big investment for questionable reward.

distant mural

Especially middle keystone

runic estuary

Is it that good or no?

slender elm

No keystone is thonk

distant mural
#

Imo

stable socket

i run focus target because plasma needs a lot of help for gunner 1shs breakpoints in h40

distant mural
#

Its not a lot of dmg and its just one enemy at a time

#

Yeah or for breakpoints

stable socket
#

but it depends heavily on your weapon

runic estuary
#

Well if I’m running bolter

stable socket

idk the bolter breakpoints

distant mural
runic estuary

Than I won’t be getting new break points

vagrant dagger

So I check the armory and melk for power swords now, because I've been told repeatedly it's the best vet melee and I want to offset my skill issues.

Just to make sure, you still want to dump mobility right?

stable socket
#

being able to put 20% more damage on twins is also nice because there's no such thing as killing them too fast, but it's possible that there are better nodes

#

if you get 60% cleave targets you can use that as well cuz iirc you don't lose any important cleave breakpoints if you run power cycler + sunder (which is a strong option because it lets you cleave mixed horde at head height without stopping on mauler heads or crusher chests)

vagrant dagger
# distant mural Yes

Ok good ty
i recently got one from a mission, already purple and in the high 400s, but with 60 cleave

distant mural

Also constantly tagging stuff annoys me

distant mural

I dump mob

I can think for myself

Ok cool, mobility dump is fine

#

But cleave targets is better

distant mural
#

What does 80 mob do for you?

#

U dont get an extra dodge

#

So what does it do?

quick shell
#

80 cleave target does nothing because psword damage and cleave is so high anyway

#

Literally nothing.

unreal nova
#

Don't waste time arguing honestly. That guy will just say to disagree.

quick shell
#

True

distant mural
#

Like thats what it does

#

And what i want from the p-sword

#

Again what does 80 mob do?

lusty fog
#

It seems very tough in higher diff yea

distant mural
stable socket
#

i think it's because sunder psword has 43 cleave with 60% cleave targets when energized

vagrant dagger
#

so i launched the game for a sec to check whether my psword has 60 "cleave targets", but alas it's 60 "cleave damage"

#

it's not good in either case

stable socket
#

and you will probably never need to go from 43 to 44 cleave

slender elm
unreal nova
quick shell
#

Mfw sunder gives me 400% cleave

lusty fog
#

Damn

unreal nova
#

Maybe.

quick shell
unreal nova
#

Increased mass in havoc moment.

stable socket
#

ok it turns out h40 maulers have 10 hit mass and crushers have 12.5, so if you're attacking into insanely dense mixed horde there's a chance that 80 cleave target will let you hit one more poxwalker than 60

quick shell
#

But yeah I’ve dumped cleave targets and I’ve seen my power sword get stuck in one single situation

Which is rotten armour into crusher packs

because unlike the other guy when i see rotten armor i fuck off and use kraks

in rotten i only use kraks for crushers

Outside of havoc there's basically no way you're gonna need 43 cleave
