ye

#

three color variants too!

mystic pilot
#

at least you can LARP a commander

silver patrol
#

uhh couldn't you just get the normal commissar skin

#

yeah that

mystic pilot
silver patrol
#

in the end, krieg commissar are just normal commissars with gas mask (because the army does use gas)

hexed arch
#

that's the inquisitor outfit though not commissar

silver patrol
#

i mean they are part of the inquisition so

mystic pilot
#

I said larp as a commander

hexed arch
#

ehhh

silver patrol
#

close enough

mystic pilot
#

"Krieg Commander"

hexed arch
#

i think the krieg coat goes well with my hat

#

so what's the best mask for revolver

#

mark

silver patrol
#

zarona

hexed arch
#

interesting

silver patrol
#

it's the hardest hardhitting one

mystic pilot
#

dump stat is reload

silver patrol
#

i'd dump mobility

hexed arch
#

there are so many fucking amazing revolver skins and i don't have a single one

mystic pilot
#

@tall torrent

hexed arch
#

dude i fucking NEED this

tall torrent
silver patrol
#

i get the weapon customization mod and forget about overpriced skins

mystic pilot
#

dump stat on revolver

hexed arch
#

it looks so great though

#

and it came out with the inquisitor coat

#

i don't get it, why don't they just put every cosmetic in the store at once instead of making us wait whole months

#

don't they realize they'll make more money that way

mystic pilot
#

whoever is in charge of money making said the items should be limited so people are affected by FOMO

hexed arch
#

okay but if everything is in the store people can buy exactly what they want

#

dude, if everything was in the store i'd probably waste so much money on all the crap i want

silver patrol
#

FOMO pushes people to buy when they potentially wouldn't have bought anything

hexed arch
#

scummy business practice

forest lagoon
#

they won't make money if you can just buy whatever you want

#

making you wait for it so you can buy it before it goes is how they drive artificial value

silver patrol
#

FOMO + low quality skins = big money apparently

forest lagoon
#

gotta get it now now now before it leaves

hexed arch
#

how do you know it works

silver patrol
#

well did you study marketing

forest lagoon
hexed arch
#

that and battle passes

#

don't wanna give fatshark ideas though lol

solar tapir
#

penance pass inc

hexed arch
#

when do you think the inquisitor sets will make a return

tall torrent
hexed arch
#

i don't gaf about the operative skins i just want the revolver one

tall torrent
solar tapir
#

inc means incoming

hexed arch
#

this is what i want so badly and it was in the store 7 months ago

solar tapir
#

i wonder if anyone keeps track of which cosmetic sets have not returned in the longest amount of time

bleak kettle
#

wish i could attach sight to helbore ADS feels off

stiff glacier
#

damn this days havocs were ass.

-attempt 1. veteran wanders away from team the moment we enter new area, dies, rq.

-attempt 2. player joins match, complains of connection, dc:s 3 times and then cant join anymore

-attempt 3. Moment mission starts dude informs his w key is broken and disconnects

#

like how can i get this sort of games in a single evening in a row

orchid hemlock
stiff glacier
#

💀

#

im getting what people talk about havoc being as an experience

orchid hemlock
#

I love sometimes getting people in the lobby just to ask why they have inspiring barrage on their revolver

#

Just so I can see their answer

hexed arch
#

posts every store update on reddit

silver patrol
hexed arch
#

btw when does the store get new offers? every week?

tame lodge
#

Every 2 weeks

#

On Thursday

hexed arch
#

2 weeks?

silver patrol
#

yeah 2 weeks

hexed arch
#

does fatshark genuinely hate me?

#

all i want is a cool revolver skin

tame lodge
#

Last rotation was on the 15th iirc

#

So next is on 29

hexed arch
#

i gotta wait nearly a month, for a SINGLE new page

#

i get the fomo thing but why two weeks

#

you know fatshark should learn from bethesda, the atomic shop in 76 is way better

#

resets every week not two

silver patrol
#

holy shit no

#

besthesda is the last company anyone, and i mean anyone, should learn from

hexed arch
#

bethesda are greedy but at least they're smart about it

#

they know how to get players to buy things

#

while fatshark makes me wait two weeks for a CHANCE at a good skin

#

which i still have to pay for

#

and it might not even come back for months

Also no field improv; pepega

real loom
#

I saw someone using helbore rlly good but they were also bein bodyguarded by melee hive scum

#

And playing with the top players in game

hexed arch
#

it's the second most liked veteran build on the website but hasn't been updated for a year :/

#

worth a try?

real loom
#

It looks like the build isnt even completed

hexed arch
#

oh right weird

#

didn't notice that

real loom
#

But prob can fill in easy

hexed arch
#

maybe the rest of the perk points are free choices?

#

this build came out before havoc though so it might be shit for it

stiff glacier
#

it was on old veteran skill tree so its broken

hexed arch
#

bummer it looks interesting

#

the squad leader build is apparently the best one

#

most upvotes out of any veteran build and got updated only a month ago

#

i mean it makes sense, plasma plus the power falchion

turbid ibex
#

Lol

#

Lmao

real loom
#

Plasma is meta, psword mk6 is probably better to use than falchion

turbid ibex
#

Psword is a contestant for best melee weapon in the game at the very least

#

Falchion is mid

narrow frost
real loom
#

Psword is good but low mobility

turbid ibex
real loom
#

Has like no dodge distance and 2 dodges I think

turbid ibex
#

Mobility is the single downside it has

real loom
#

Vs. Shivs

tall torrent
#

it's below avg but not worst in game

real loom
#

Is the 3 at 100% mobility or at 80%

tall torrent
# real loom Vs. Shivs

shivs are among the best and quite significantly above avg, don't think it's a fair comparison here

tall torrent
#

but u shud have 80% anyway

#

cleave targets is power sword's dump stat

real loom
#

Builds with knife/dueling sword and pistol is just asking for your team to get killed and you having to "clutch"

#

They cant deal with horde and are just good at saving your own life

sharp epoch
tame lodge
#

Shield weapons with 2 dodges

orchid hemlock
#

Wow it's not updated

#

Thanks Games lantern for not filtering it

mystic pilot
#

@hexed arch

#

thats what he meant by "not updated"

orchid hemlock
#

I never have been to the games lantern discord

#

I wonder what it's like 🤔

hexed arch
mystic pilot
#

over

hexed arch
#

damn

#

i saw a newer one though

#

hold up

#

i might do this one with a shovel

mystic pilot
#

thats more reasonable, time wise

hexed arch
#

it was updated like a month ago

#

so probably up to date

#

i love the revolver but not the kinfe, hence the shovel

#

i hope it'll work since you're slower with the shovel

hollow ibex
hexed arch
#

you think?

#

it has 80 upvotes seems valid

turbid ibex
#

Some of the most upvoted builds there are abysmal dogshit

#

Do not trust gameslantern

cursive steppe
#

yes

#

we all should trust rannick to do our builds

hexed arch
#

well what about the one with 400 upvotes

cursive steppe
hexed arch
#

seriously?

cursive steppe
#

do not doubt

vestal widget
#

the top rated psyker build is an elaborate prank

hexed arch
#

400 veterans can't be wrong!

#

Just look at havoc 40 builds whatthefuck_heresy

mystic pilot
#

what are good alternatives to plasma gun in the Havoc build?

hallow drift
#

They know most people looking for builds just download the setup without looking, and then you can see them in the wild like an animal tagged for research

silver patrol
#

i should make a guide with 0 knowledge when the next dlc class drops

hallow drift
#

If you can write it confidently enough you’ll definitely get some people

silver patrol
#

yeah, i'll even put some fancy big text

#

maybe i'll ask chatgpt to make a description or two

hallow drift
#

I like going to work and letting the nerds do the math, then coming home and making adjustments in case any talent just launches straight up broken

deft crystal
#

Do yall like the power sword and plas combo

#

or the knife and plas combo

silver patrol
#

no i hate them

hallow drift
#

Lowkey hate the power sword

hallow drift
#

Plasma is okayish but I prefer Helbore

#

^^

deft crystal
#

The POWER SWORD IS SO FUN THOUGH

silver patrol
#

helbore more like

hallow drift
#

For like 3 swings

silver patrol
#

HellaBoring am i right

#

(it's fun use it)

hallow drift
#

Or you could use the Mk1 shovel and use an entire weapon’s moveset

deft crystal
deft crystal
hallow drift
#

I don’t think I used the plasma gun until my veteran was like level 70 lol

#

I used to slut for the laspistol

#

At some point Helbore went from poopoo garbage to the hardest hitting weapon in the game and I haven’t looked back

#

Occasionally I play WS DB vet because it’s a hilarious meme and I need melkbux

deft crystal
#

plasma still outdoes it

hallow drift
#

I like ethically shooting anything with a gun

#

Makes the Zerg hivemind happy

tall torrent
#

I hope they're cooking with plasma rework

mystic pilot
# tall torrent vig auto 3

hah. I only ask because I dont have the perfect stats on plasma yet. I got one with Thermal being dump stat. Tried it out on lower difficulty. Really liking it

#

learning to get hang of using PS for horde/mixed horde and Plasma gun for singling out specialists/elites/monstrosity

bleak adder
#

I really hope they buff power falchion a bit because it's my favorite weapon conceptually but it obviously underperforms

#

I still play with it

hollow ibex
#

Unlikely though

bleak adder
#

They must!

silver patrol
#

Duelling sword buff you say?

sharp epoch
bleak adder
hollow ibex
#

Fatshart takes ages to do anything

#

Falchs probably not high on the list of things that will be changed

hazy comet
#

you think the power sword is nerfed? i can't shred hordes anymore.

turbid ibex
#

what are you running

#

because its still one of if not the best melee in the game

hazy comet
turbid ibex
#

you need to equip power cycler blessing

#

you have 3 powered swings with it

hazy comet
#

oh

#

thanks i will try

turbid ibex
#

its straight up mandatory for the weapon to work

hazy comet
#

yeahhhh im not using this in maelstrom xD

turbid ibex
#

nah

#

like i said

#

its one of if not the best melee in the game rn

#

as long as you run it with that blessing

hazy comet
#

no i mean, not using it unless i max the mastery

turbid ibex
#

and then either sunder or brutal momentum for the second slot

#

eh you only really need at least the third level of the blessing

#

since thats the minimum for the 3 swings

torpid sundial
#

I tried using psword again and I hated it

#

Pfalchion just feels way better to use

sharp epoch
tough nova
#

Ew.

drowsy perch
#

i was running revolver but tried out spear boltgun and it feels p good

#

doesnt really work for a sniper build like revolver tho'

tough nova
#

It can pick off specialists well enough with the added benefit of a high dps mag dump. Just gotta get used to releasing ads between shots to reset that god forsaken jank.

torpid sundial
#

after trying both mk for the power falchion, I find mk1 to be better despite not having the heavy light horizontals

#

maybe I'm tripping but the light strikedown and heavy uppercut just does consistently more damage to elites and crushers

#

while the mk2 requires heavy heavy light combo for ST which is kinda slow

drowsy perch
#

basically 1 mag killed a nurgle in a few seconds on damnation

orchid hemlock
drowsy perch
#

focus keystone with the high damage revolver

#

and other various shooting related abilities

really effective if you hit head

Helbore or plasma

livid hill
turbid ibex
#

plasma gun wants 69% thermal resistance and 71% charge rate

mystic pilot
#

Yep the best possible stat layout

#

Its the only one i dont have the perfect stats for on my veteran. I have to earn more, then roll plasma guns, then earn more, repeat

#

For now i have a plasma gun with thermal dump stat

turbid ibex
#

tbh thermal dump still works

warped drift
#

How is charge rate dump? Is the change noticeable

turbid ibex
#

charge rate makes your shots take longer

#

so its better to not dump it

warped drift
#

Yeah is that worse than having <8 shots until 100%?

turbid ibex
#

imo yes

warped drift
#

Ok thanks. Makes sense, I don't often need all of those. I've been playing with a 71 thermal 69 stopping power plasma and it's not the move, too many things survive body shots

turbid ibex
#

dumping stopping power is an awful idea

#

since thats also damage

tame lodge
#

We were talking about how poisoning the Dregs seemed like a bad idea

#

Nurgle and all

#

But here's Hive Scum anyways

turbid ibex
#

ehh nurgle is more disease and infection than general toxins from what i know

serene pawn

Can I post photos of my veteran?

#

Everyone be like “lmg for vet!” Meanwhile I’m like “greatsword when?!?!?!”

dry cloak
#

If vet getting a 2h melee its gonna be a polearm

livid solar
#

I love the dueling sabre, I do not care what you say it is the best melee weapon. I was playing the train mission and while everone was dealing with the hoarde, me and the boss were having a 1v1 like out of a 40k book

distant dune
#

Give Vet a custodes polearm :3

dry cloak
livid solar
#

I just love the image of a chaos ogryn hitting a guardsman with a thin ass sword, and the guardsman chanelling the energy of Caiphas Cain and parry his attack and also decapitate the ogryn afterwards

dry cloak
#

Ciaphas used a chainsword no?

livid solar
#

aye, but still a good dueler so it applies (kinda)

distant dune
livid solar
#

wish they added the militarum power fist

dry cloak
#

I think giving dueling sword to vet and zealot was a mistake. But oh well i dont desing the game

dry cloak
livid solar
#

to be fair, the range will probably be shit. But if they add it I hope it will be a high damage weapon

Also does anyone buy weapons from melk?

narrow frost
#

Melk is really only used while leveling and for curios

dry cloak

I did, before the crafting update KEKW_ogryn

umbral scaffold

I think the only times I bought them now were when I was low on diamantine or wanted a mastery sacrifice without using plasteel

#

Space marine 2's co-op mode has the most artificial difficulty ever

#

the campaign was hella good, I'd recommend SM2 for anyone wanting to get into 40k but the co-op experience is complete ass and people are willing to play the most mundane hack n slash gameplay if it means they can customize their character

Never used smoke once

fervent quest
#

which sapper shovel do you like more? I keep going back and forth between the mk1 (the non-folding one) and the mk7 (the blue "light" type folding shovel)

silver patrol

mk1 is the most versatile melee in the game maybe

Why does imperial guard armor have pecs

#

Or is that just the loose cannon's pecs deforming the metal because he flexed once while wearing them

It is one

tame granite
#

this smith and wesson got me moving like an invasive species

#

Vet is my most played and least effective class lol...

steep pier
#

2 runs and 1300 of 2000 enemies covered by smoke grenades

past peak
steep pier
#

My most played class is psyker probably just cause space witch is cool

#

But my favorite gun is still helbore in darktide as a whole

austere mica
#

Very fortunate choice

frigid kite
#

Does Helbore feel... Better with Surgical?

austere mica
#

Probably

#

I don't see why you wouldn't run it

frigid kite
#

I started trying one out but no mastery so no surgical and i felt like going back to my recon so bad

austere mica
#

You also probably didn't have breakpoints so that would help

frigid kite
#

breakpoints?

austere mica
#

Specific amounts of damage required to kill x target in y number of shots

#

Helbore is the kinda gun that fishes for 1 taps on everything

frigid kite
#

ah. Yeah fair. I think the Helbore i'm using is 79/80 though id' have to check

austere mica
#

Feels bad if you miss that

frigid kite
#

it's a lucky roll i got'

#

ya it's 79/80 damage at 260 mastery

#

ammo only 48/80, stopping power 44/80

#

so that probably factors in

#

tier 3 No Respite and tier 4 Infernus

serene pawn
#

Is in this servar level?

frigid kite
#

huh?

slate karma
#

The melee on the light version also stuns ragers

austere mica
#

You can 1 tap bulwarks and reapers pretty easy

slate karma
#

As i have found out

steep pier
#

the mark 4

slate karma
#

I like the blue version the most

steep pier
#

Has the chop

slate karma
steep pier
#

The green and blue stab

slate karma
#

Stab stuns ragers

steep pier
#

Mark 4 does the most ads

#

The 2nd highest dps one has the highest hip fire dmg

#

The real issue for most people with helbore the iron sights

#

But I see helbore as a Las gun equivalent of a bolt action sniper

slate karma
#

I really dislike the standard las guns sights because it jumps around so much

steep pier
#

Well classic bolt actions had iron sights some modern scopes need batteries etc to work properly and some don't last very long iron sights last longer and don't need anything fancy to work just a feel good classic touch for a krieg weapon

#

Another thing they resist very cold temperatures well

drowsy goblet
#

Its old, it has a bayonet, iron sights that are wonk, but it at least packs a good bunch and is too cool to not use

steep pier
#

The real clinch is that using a more modern scope you have to raise your head further up which makes you easier to see and hit

drowsy goblet
#

If i end up playing veteran more again, i think i'll give helborne another try

#

Its just such a nice gun i wish more classes could use it.

#

On zealot it would be insane.

steep pier
#

that would be nice yeah also did you pick up the krieg dueling saber skin

#

I'm waiting on the green and brown color regiments to be added for my vet they have the black n grey and blue n grey I'm waiting on the other 2 main colors

slate karma
#

The saber imo is like the best weapon in the game

steep pier
#

It's build dependant on vet

#

I like heavy sword n shovel on vet

#

heavy sword is great for hordes and most things outside carp

#

shovel mk1 just overall utility

slate karma
#

Saber and bolt pistol

steep pier
#

I like bolt pistol on psyker

#

Good reliable hesdshots

#

Bolt gun is good like revolver but more ammo

steep pier
#

Human bolter is a bolt gun to a astartes they get bigger ones

slate karma
steep pier
#

see you using regular commissar stuff or krieg commissr

#

the kriegs have their own commissars to lol

slate karma
steep pier
#

lol yeah

#

The thing The kriegs with red details on the greatcoats

#

are the krieg commissars which we probably won't get that outfit

#

the 4 main regiments black and blue are different one regiment different parts of it use green or brown

#

Then the siege regiment used green n black

#

The 158th

slate karma
#

Im not that deep into warhammer yet

#

Do you do tabletop?

bleak kettle
#

what mark for helbore IIIa or IV

silver patrol
#

i think the IIIa is the worst one

#

or maybe it was the V

#

anyway IV is cooler and can twoshot crushers

bleak kettle
#

thx this havoc 40 helbore build i'm looking uses IIIa for some reason

calm shard
#

none of the helbores are bad

#

the worst helbore is still one of the best guns in the game

bleak kettle
#

was given dueling sword + double barrel for havoc 40 its great haven't tried helbore yet was gonna try helbore with shovel mkI uncanny + skullcrusher

#

only bad weapons i've tried so far on veteran were laspistol + shock maul heard shredder autopistol is also really bad on veretan

slender elm
#

not sure where you heard that from

#

laspistol on vet is a heckload of headshot damage from the hip

#

shredder is kind of a meme? but then it does extreme amounts of maniac damage

silver patrol
#

laspistol is great

#

the shock maul, not so much

unreal nova
lost frigate

i feel like laspistol is better than lasrifle

steep flower
calm shard
#

yeah laspistol in its current state is functionally a direct upgrade to infantry lasgun

steep flower
#

Unless helly then they have their uses & both are amazing

mystic pilot
#

Which build(s) does las pistol go well with?

#

Clearly not bomber because it need lethal proximity fuse blessing that only bolt weapons get

unreal nova
#

You could skip bistol with tinkerer though

#

Usually having both is just funni.

hearty snow
#

are any of the autoguns good

silver patrol
#

yeah, all except the braced autoguns

#

who are maybe an insult to god

unreal nova
#

Only thing is that it KICKS.

unreal nova
#

And I mean strong recoil.

still dove
#

i’ve seen someone use lasgun for my first time ever yesterday

tough nova
# mystic pilot Which build(s) does las pistol go well with?

Honestly the gun is strong with its base stats perks and blessings. You can lean into MMF if you want but I like to use it if I'm running a lower mobility melee to help give me breathing room and effectively kill gunners without too much ranged investment.

hearty snow
tough nova
#

Also the special has a hidden benefit on psyker that gives you a ranged knock back

unreal nova
hearty snow
#

you literally do less work than on a mouse for recoil management

unreal nova
#

Unless you have two thumbs.

#

I mainly use it on scum since you leeroy into close range anyway.

silver patrol
#

vraks has worse than recoil

unreal nova
silver patrol
#

i swear that if you shoot it too much, even the sight lies and it just has random spread

hearty snow
silver patrol
#

no reason in particular

#

but it does says there

unreal nova
silver patrol
#

i'm sure it would be fine with tacaxe/chaxe/combat axe either way

#

even if you ADS i think it just gets a random spread at some point

unreal nova
#

The first 1-3 shots in ADS is accurate.

hearty snow
#

i only have the two Sitgryn

unreal nova
#

Then downhill.

hearty snow
#

and no combat knife in the shops yet

turbid ibex
silver patrol
#

power sword is probably fine too

unreal nova
hearty snow
#

oh sick

silver patrol
#

you just need something to deal with armor

#

for all intent and purposes, the power sword is a better shovel tho it's much clunkier

hearty snow
#

is there some kind of talent i picked in the build thats automatcally loading a single round in my shotgun?

silver patrol
#

yeah

hearty snow
#

in my stub revolver too

silver patrol
#

the left side of weapon specialist

hearty snow
#

oh its always prepared

silver patrol
#

yeah, it's nuts for low magazine weapons

hearty snow
#

is kill swap kill swap faster than just reloading my double barrel tho

silver patrol
#

much faster

turbid ibex
#

You dont have to waste time reloading

#

So yes

silver patrol
#

slash the horde, get at least one kill, shoot the shotgun, slash the horde, shoot the shotgun and repeat

#

you can't do that without always prepared

#

if the situation is calm and you can waste your WS stacks, you can reload the shotgun manually

tough nova
#

Its one of my favorite combat loops in the game

#

Manstopper with a guaranteed crit is JUICY

silver patrol
#

man i wish scum had the shovel instead of that shitty crowbar

fallow beacon
#

any quick way to get this penance done, feel like i've been on it forever

silver patrol
#

maybe try withe recon lasgun

#

it's a bad node for it, but still, you can shoot into hordes

slender elm
#

man im really liking the tactical axe

#

it feels viciously fast

tough nova
silver patrol
#

i know it tries its best

#

it's just that its best is garbo

tough nova
#

Sounds like a crowbar only day😏

#

Its the only way to fall in love

hearty snow
#

alright i tried the slayer build and its

#

alright?

#

i cant make heads or tails with the double barrel shotgun cause i cant seem to horde clear with it

unreal nova
#

Or summthing.

fallow beacon
tough nova
frigid rover
#

the general flow is like
smack horde a few times -> shoot boomstick -> repeat
as long as you kill at least one enemy in melee, you get a free boomstick shot
if you kill three before switching it is guaranteed to crit
so ideally you never reload and fire free, massively boosted cleaving-power, bleed-on-hit buckshot down the hallway until theres nothing left

#

its a little wonky compared to more standard vet fare but once you get into the groove it is very fun

hearty snow
#

oh wait carapace issss

#

not on hordes right

turbid ibex
#

Carapace is maulers and crushers mostly

stuck gorge
#

scab rager chest too

slender elm
#

basically anything that looks metallic and spiky

trim badger

Oh yea the armored part of bulwark / reaper arms too

mystic pilot
#

Did the DT mod server disappear?

#

Oh its my phone being weird

silver patrol
#

or you got banned

#

I said that because its back on server list 🤪

silver patrol
#

oh i read that as "or it's my phone being weird"

shell bane
#

Insane blessing roll

#

No idea what the guide thinks of it though

silver patrol
#

well they are only lv 3

shell bane
#

Yeah but I just got the gun so

#

I have no mastery on it

lone escarp
#

Wow I resisted the dueling sword due to how meta it is, but man, it solves so many problems for veteran. The mobility is so good

fair shale
#

I feel like Duelling is a Bell Curve thing

#

New players don't use it for whatever reason, average range players really like it, really good players don't use it cause it's okay™

silver patrol
#

wow he just called you a noob

#

(the weapon is good but it's shit against hordes)

lone escarp
#

No disagreement there its good for single target and zip scootin n' lootin

tame lodge
#

Bell Curve but all of them are saying "Dueling Sword is very good"

lone escarp
#

Still prefer the combat knife but parry as a get out of jail can be very nice

fair shale
#

Especially by the Plasma+DS+VoC havoc vets

primal zealot
#

simultaneously overrated n underrated

#

schrodingers meta

shell bane
#

Is the bolt pistol build from the guide meant to be used with weapons specialist?

shell bane
orchid hemlock
#

My life is yours if you do it

fair shale
#

How would you nerf ps?

#

Like ik it's ungodly powerful

orchid hemlock
fair shale
#

But i feel like less than 3 swings is gonna feel like ass to use tbh

orchid hemlock
#

@tall torrent any ideas?

stuck gorge
#

you gotta do a quick minigame to put them in the right way

fair shale
#

Tbh

#

I would take buffing it in exchange for running off ammo

#

That'd be weird as fuck tho to implement

orchid hemlock
fair shale
#

Tbh

#

When I stopped playing it was a little after PS nerf

#

Old PS to me is still the 7 swing monstrosity lmfao

stuck gorge
fair shale
#

Power sword on release(back when rng weapons existed) swung 7 times powered up with Power Cycler 4

stuck gorge
#

damn when I first started playing PC was only +2 swings even before itemization

#

I suddenly get why my one friend quit when he accidentally scrapped his godroll power sword while ago

hollow ibex
#

well now he can come back

thorny egret
#

okay I'm gonna give the Vigilant Autogun another try

quick shell
thorny egret
#

iirc this is BiS

slender elm
#

yeah

#

shoot heads, nuff said

#

welp, im a firm believer of taxe on vet now

#

its so comfy

thorny egret
#

oh totally

slender elm
#

Like this thing clears so well compared to rashad just by virtue of being fast

thorny egret
#

fast is good, yah

slender elm
#

And the single target combo is just repeated axe to face

#

That isn't slow enough for someone else to hit you

thorny egret
#

I on second current vet I use Tax, CB and shovel

hollow ibex
#

let's get that straight

#

taxe is good

#

but it doesn't beat rashad in raw dps

#

if it did, rashad would be pointless

tame lodge
slender elm
#

Rashad overkills a lot on trash innit

hollow ibex
#

it does, but it's still going to be faster than taxe

tame lodge
#

No such thing as overkill

hollow ibex
#

it can kill 4 horde enemies, including bruisers, per swing

tame lodge
hollow ibex
#

taxe can't do that

slender elm
#

Yeah I'd rather just swing more times on vet

#

Can't take hits at all

#

And I assume it has better dodge distance

#

Unless im placebo

turbid ibex
#

taxe has better mobility yeah

slender elm
#

It's what I need to murder heretics without taking as many hits, apparently

#

Veteran is more enjoyable now

steep pier
#

Just completed my make every shot count penance

orchid hemlock
#

FOR CREEEEEEEEEEED

lone escarp
#

If dueling sword is a bell curve thing then what do you enlightened folks use

#

I've been rotating between combat knife, ds and ps

tall torrent
# fair shale How would you nerf ps?

sunder x25% -> x50% mass (2x effective cleave)
reduce energized light sweep's first target dmg by ~15%
increase energized strikedown's first target dmg by ~15%

  • this makes it more reliant on push atk for single target dps and reduces its mixed horde performance
#

and doesn't change anything fundamental to power sword's gameplay rn

fair shale
lone escarp
#

Yeah I figured

fair shale
#

Or is that

#

Does Sunder make enemies worth 25 percent of their hitmass?

hollow ibex
#

thats a nerf yeah

fair shale
#

Okay, ty

fair shale

Been sleeping on taxe

sharp epoch
#

theres never that situation where I need to stunlock 3+ ragers and maulers so it's not needed for me

mystic pilot
tall torrent
#

both blessings are super strong

sharp epoch
#

Another benefit is you can take field improv over serrated blade since you have decent horde clear now

tall torrent
#

I don't take serrated outside of knife now

hollow ibex
tall torrent

not like I want to lol

hollow ibex
#

story of the vet tree

fair shale
#

I love a perk being reliant on having something that might spawn at the ass end of a mission

tall torrent
#

if they rly wanted every vet to have field improv they should have made it a class iconic

vagrant dagger
#

it would be good if it actually removed corruption
and not "remove corruption UNLESS it takes up an entire wound"

hollow ibex
#

i mean removing wounds would be insanely strong

vagrant dagger
#

probably
well i suppose i said good not balanced KEKW_ogryn

hybrid plover
sharp epoch
#

right now its pointless if yoy have a beacon zealot or a box scum

mystic pilot
#

Field Improv has way more than just "heal corruption partially"

silver patrol
#

read that if you are a nerd

#

you should skip it

sharp epoch
# mystic pilot

this is wrong, im pretty sure it only gives 2/4 grenades if you have 4

mystic pilot
#

tell that to Guide WIP 😛

sharp epoch
#

GUIDE WIP IS A LIE

mystic pilot
#

you mean *liar

#

he's here

sharp epoch
#

thats path

#

@tall torrent fix field improv tooltip it doesnt gimme all my grenades

silver patrol
#

it at least gave me 4 rockets

sharp epoch
#

ill test when im home but i distinctly remember in my games it doenst give me full grenades

silver patrol
#

Kuli's guide also says it gives back all the grenades

gilded raft
#

I think it depends on difficulty. In an h40 I got 2/4 chem nades on scum last time I had a vet running it

#

possible that you get 4/4 in aurics

silver patrol
#

havoc issue

sonic kayak
#

You get 50% iirc

gilded raft
#

yeah, I know, but you could interpret field improv grenade recharge as its own thing

#

not necessarily subject to basic ammo nerfs

#

since it technically nerfs the value of that one specific node for one specific class, an argument could be made that it shouldn't do that

sharp epoch
narrow frost
#

havoc 40 is -60% ammo gained

#

also applies to nades

#

from field improv

sharp epoch
#

weird cause nade pickups on the ground give you full

narrow frost
#

I think it gives nades based on how much ammo you get from crate

#

since crates only gives 40% ammo per charge, it gives 50% nades back (rounded up)

sharp epoch
#

thats so dumb

sharp epoch
atomic void
#

it's fatshark's baseline too

hybrid plover
#

Apparently it is now (why)

fair shale
#

Why is it such a bastardized game mode if it's their new balance norm

#

Thats my question

hybrid plover
#

With like

#

At most like 5% of the player base.

fair shale
#

By bastardized I mean "why are havoc modifiers fps tanks" and "why do combos crash the game"

hollow ibex
hybrid plover
#

"Why do the modifiers suck?"

hollow ibex
#

If you can’t play with 20 fps and crashes, maybe ur just not good enough

fair shale
#

They can be artificial difficulty

#

But literally why are they made when the engine clearly cannot handle them

#

Ts reminds me of blighttown on a ps3 sometimes

Even captions

Idk

i need to confirm something the shock maul on vet

#

is it worth using?

fair shale
#

Ime no

#

If you want a safe melee option just go for shovel imo

past peak
tame lodge
#

Just bring something that deals with monstrosities

so 3 no's and 1 yes

think i'll stick with the no

molten igloo
#

yeah but how are you gonna walk up to maulers and make them go aeghgejghghhg

slender elm
#

chainaxe say hi

molten igloo
#

took the infantry lasgun out for a spin

#

i feel like it'd be much easier to use if it had iron sights instead of a bobbing holo

tame lodge
#

🗣️

steep pier
#

well havoc is darktides equivacal of waste from vt2

#

chaos waste

#

i dont use shock maul on vet i love it on psyker

hybrid plover
steep pier
#

not even close

#

havoc 40 isnt nowhere near as hard as past 110 on weaves from vt2

#

not even close

hybrid plover
#

But its not even remotely the same concept as chaos wastes though

steep pier
#

havoc 40 is also much much easier

#

then citadel of eternity on cataclysm

hybrid plover
#

Weaves is more akin to Havoc. Chaos Wastes is an entirely different thing as a whole.

steep pier
#

and god forbid you bring a ranged class

#

rampart monsters can spawn

#

any ranged dmg or explosive does no dmg

hybrid plover
#

If anything, Mortis Trials is honestly closer to Chaos Wastes in concept

hybrid plover
#

Even if they're not really the same.

steep pier
#

okay yeah fair

#

the thing is the only thing that made weaves fun was their modifiers

tame lodge
#

cough Fortunes of War cough

steep pier
#

the thing

#

after 125

#

you go into the zone of even trash stuff in vt2 one hitting you in weaves

#

121 its ranged focused classes

#

after 125 its pretty much every class

#

the thing is waste has modifiers i enjoy more then havoc

#

and the crafting

#

both are fun but havoc is a bit to strict

#

also much less variety still

hybrid plover
#

Havoc's modifiers are just overall kind of annoying save for a few.

ancient path
#

i love darktide

#

its a good game

ancient path
#

you right

i hate this so much lmao

novel stone
#

Whats a good melee to bring into havoc, im using a boltgun with it, been using the power falchion and love it but ik its mid so I wanna know what yall think

slender elm
#

psword, dsword, rashad, hsword

#

shovel

#

knife

novel stone
#

PSword still holds up?

#

Good to know

slender elm
#

its stil the best

hollow ibex
#

the strongest melee in the game

novel stone
#

I always loved using it but thought i was missing out on some other weapons

steep pier
#

It was the best then

slender elm
#

i decided i prefer to axe people in the face

steep pier
#

It could get like 8 swings with proper blessings per 1 charge press

#

So it was the best

#

Now it's still good not the best

slender elm
#

i've read otherwise

#

but eh whatever

steep pier
#

You needed pc 4

#

For the like 8 swings

#

It's still one of vets best melee but what I mean week 1 ps was the best melee in the game

slender elm
#

genuinely, i dont care

#

🪓

#

would be nice if they added a power axe

austere mica
#

Rashad is a power axe

steep pier
#

I want something different

#

That the sororias use the most

#

Power Halberd

austere mica
#

If we get a polearm I don't want it to be a power weapon

#

Because that eats the special immediately

steep pier
#

I'm still waiting for the maulers chain pole axe for zealot

#

There's also pre heresy stuff I'd love to see

#

Gteat crusade ogryns had

#

Charonite claws

#

But they were used by the auxilia which died in the heresy sadly

#

The issue they were so effective that just one of em could fight multiple chaos at once during ship boarding so we won't get that

#

These ogryns were made tk tear through regular and terminator plate astartes

serene pawn
molten igloo
#

double barrel did the trick

i got the pants really early into the game

when i went to read the requirements i realized i lucked out lol because i don't think i would ever be able to replicate that

austere mica
#

Now you can realize the best outfit for veteran utilizes two green items and whatever pants you want

molten igloo
#

yeah

austere mica
#

The height of fashion is the white shirt with green scarf and suspenders, the goggles on forehead/goggles on cap, and whichever pants you like that don't have the big stupid boots

anyone can make lucius mk iv usable in high diff?

clever crest

does anyone know a good build for shotgun veteran

narrow frost
#

Checking the guide in the pins

#

Path might have a shotgun one

#

If not it's really easy

clever crest
#

ourgh i tend to need a guiding hand when i'm branching from a build i'm already comfortable with

#

otherwise i just swap weapons that dont synergize with what i'm using

slender elm
#

I'm not sure how uncanny works, do I need to poke something first for it to apply

#

Since there's a buff icon

slender elm
slender elm
#

I see

#

So I need to poke that crusher in the face then my shotgun blast is going to magically bypass a chunk of his armor

unreal nova
#

Even smacking a horde in their faces before shooting works.

slender elm
#

I'm not sure that's significant unless its for bruisers

unreal nova
#

Profit.

slender elm
#

Wait I dont need to hit the ragers and it applies?

#

Hmmm

unreal nova
slender elm
#

Hmmmmmmmm

unreal nova
#

Lasts I think like 5 secs or so.

#

You can check the time yourself.

#

I'm cooking lul.

slender elm
#

K lol

silver patrol
#

it's still a damage buff on everything

unreal nova
#

But it applies to any hit done in that X secs.

#

So if you get good at juggling, heh.

vestal widget
#

iirc it only now affects melee and dots

#

might require melee to be in hand too, but not sure

-# that might be me confusing which projectiles inherit buffs at time of firing vs time of dmg, i know that was one of the changes to nerf assail weaving

silver patrol
#

it doesn't affect your gun
