Also, if you don't like plasma... Don't run it

#

You said flamers and trappers get you/your team the most

#

What about the revolver or shredder auto?

#

Those do great maniac damage

strong fox
#

yes more or less those flamers, even though i keep watching backline soimetimes it just wipes us

#

I run the bolt pistol is that any good?

#

or should i change to revolver

narrow frost
#

It's good but more of a buff stick then weapon

#

You really only take it for lethal proximity buff

#

Because there are way better damage dealers then it

it is very inconsistent but at best the demonhost will still change alert stages after you leave smoke, and at worst you will trigger it while in smoke

so yes it delays, but it will never allow you to move past it for free

#

unless we're talking about h40, which I am guessing the original dude asking the question is not playing, bolt pistol can reliably kill every special and elite with one crit body shot except mutants, ogryns, and maulers

but in any case rev is good, just stricter

strong fox
#

thanks for responding guys, i will try to use boltpistol and recon lasgun and practice to death until i become a better veteran, i guess using ogryn arbites and zealot gives you bad habits of just literally facetanking everything

full garnet
#

it definitely does
although a lot of it can be undone by just spamming dodge whenever you hear the backstab sound effect
and dodgle sliding in general is also very effective

and also lowkey vet can often be more tanky than zealot because of VoC and iron will lol

little fog
#

They're learning Vet themselves and finding it more difficult to stay in the fight than usual.

Or you can play like I do and face tank the horde whether it’s a good idea or not

what makes Rashad really good on vet

#

I've been trying to get used to it but I don't like when it stops cleaving enemies in a crowd

#

I got momentum to help with that, but

#

still happens

#

Also is there any vet talents that work kinda like the zealot stamina on crit perk?

dry cloak
#

Looks fine

slender elm
#

no melee attack speed and no tinkerer is kinda eh

stiff glacier
#

i feel tinkerer is no mandatory with frags

slender elm
#

what gun u runnin?

stiff glacier
#

infantry auto usually with that but double barrel works well if taking the ammo talent from weapon specialist

#

revolver too

slender elm
#

i wouldnt take the extra ammo node then

stiff glacier
#

i like having some extra

#

not necessary but preference pick

the weapon

stiff glacier
#

yeah most dont like falchion

narrow yacht
#

well unfortunately i do so i'll keep playing it, don't play my vet above aurics so not the end of the world not having the best weapon

stiff glacier
#

do so

#

always run what you prefer or like

#

you'll do better that way

#

than force something that doesnt click

tame lodge
#

It's a mid tier weapon but it looks so good

#

😭

stiff glacier
#

i like the one of its variants

#

cant remember which is which

dry cloak
#

I prefer 2b ,,the round one,,

stiff glacier
#

is it the one which's light attack string ends with stab

dry cloak
#

No

narrow yacht
#

i didn't even look to see there was marks but i'm using the mark 1

#

it ends with the stab

stiff glacier
#

yeah i like that one over 2b

dry cloak
#

Then its mk1

#

2b moveset clicks for me better

stiff glacier
#

im more of a combat axe guy but for havocs its been 24/7 chainsword

#

I love using Infiltrator with double barrel shotty.

#

Smoove off.

stiff glacier
#

its fun when you get the passive reload skill

#

just blast someone, swap to couple melee kills and blast again

surreal sentinel
#

Yeah. And then the +12% recharge speed for the ability on my Curios means I'm running around like a maniac killing everything in sight.

I really doubt it's not meant to be there

imma get the gate pattern helmet anyway

why would they have a whole fucking vizor modelled on the helmet if they weren't gonna use it?

How to use it:

  • Set the keybind to open the UI
  • Make sure to be in 3rd person mode to change your gear's look for a better experience
  • Select which slots you want the apply changes for better control (primary == melee weapon, secondary == ranged weapon)
  • Change materials and apply (if the option to apply automatically isn't selected)

Commands:

  • /save_drip -> save the current preset so you can load it later
  • /reset_drip -> restore the default look of you gear (save before using it if you want to keep the look !)
  • /refresh_drip -> re-apply the current preset in case it got overridden

Known issue:

  • If you change or refresh the look of your gear in first person mode some things may appear (like candle lights), going to the 3rd person and back fixes it
  • If your cursor disappear try opening and closing the window again
  • If the window goes out of screen it bugs out, use the reset keybind
  • Changing loadout mess the preset display in the inventory menu until it's opened again
  • The eye glow some helmets disappear when the mod is on
  • Can sometime crash the game when changing cosmetics

Implemented:

  • Show/Hide attachments (clothes only)
  • Change body masks to hide part of the body/hairs
  • Per attachment changes customization (clothes only at first, I need to make it compatible with the weapon customization mod)
  • Show/Hide body parts

Upcoming:

  • Add hairs to head gear without hairs (like helmets)
  • Named presets
  • Add existing attachments to items (from owned items only, including items from other classes for human characters and some npc gear)

Planned Changes:

  • adding Decals to the gear
  • Per loadout preset
  • Team wide preset (won't work with attachment specific changes)
  • Better UI
  • Custom material editor (with the existing material components, so no new color or texture)

the weird thing about a lot of the veteran commisary pieces is that the patterns don't match a lot of the time so you have to interchange sets

FRAG GAMERS

#

Do you find a tangible benefit to using grenade tinkerer for the frags?

#

I vaguely recall it being 50% in the past, but maybe I'm lighting my gas

calm shard
#

it's 50% with lethal proximity from boltpistol

mystic pilot
#

thats why its recommended on the bomber build in the pinned guide

tall torrent
umbral scaffold
#

I take it this means I need to throw the grenade and then switch to the pistol for the explosion?

mystic pilot

#

as you can see it explain the Lethal Proximity quite well

I was checking for info on the grenade specifically, so I didn't think of checking that blessing

#

Odd that it would work without being equipped, but I guess even Darktide won't be consistent on stuff like that

mystic pilot

its easier to do that than

#

"oh I have my melee out, I need to switch to my ranged. then yeet my grenade/boom"

are you trying to imply that recon las and infantry autogun are bad

stark holly

No, I’m saying lower damage per shot doesn’t matter when enemies have less health. So you would rather have faster firing rate

I wouldn't mind them lowering the duration and making it on dodge too or something like that

Maybe even having it stack immediately after starting to sprint, I dunno

At least it's better than it used to be

Then I have no reason as to why you shouldn't vet

Wo.

But tbf
Big man base sprint without stamina is faster than vet, psyker and Arby's

depending on ur enemies

Emphasis on base though

especially if your team just decides to rob all ur ammo and dont care about you

#

Any tips

hollow ibex
#

don't rely on just your gun, use your melee too

esp for horde clear and crushers

#

gun can handle everything else

cerulean flume
#

Yeah

#

I’ve been using the power sword for melee

hollow ibex
#

oh nice

#

there's really not that much more to recon las tbh

cerulean flume
#

If that works

#

):

#

Aww

hollow ibex
#

it's a pretty straightforward gun

#

you don't even need to hit headshots

warm cove
#

I dont understand how to use shotguns, vigilant autoguns, or braced autoguns. They all just seem inferior to the infantry autogun.

hollow ibex
#

shotguns and vig are strong

#

but both of those are very build-dependant

cerulean flume
#

warm cove
#

I also dont understand firearm melee attacks. Why not just pull out your melee weapon?

warm cove
tame lodge

You are right on your assessment that the infantry autogun is good though

hollow ibex

i mean, they're all good, arent they?

it'll tell you how to build the guns

there's a lot of ways to build combat shotgun

tall torrent
#

You just have been asking questions that the guide would have helped answer

dry cloak
tall torrent
#

And it’s not like u need to read the entire thing either

#

Just intro sections then skip to whatever u want rly

#

Obv this depends on how new you’re to the game

warm cove
warm cove
#

How do i use vigilent autoguns or shotguns effectively

#

because they all feel inferior in every way to a Vraks gun

tall torrent
#

Vraks mk5 inf auto is really strong yes

warm cove
#

elites and specialist, ok

tall torrent
#

I don’t think combat shotgun as good

#

You shouldn’t be shooting at everything in the first place

#

Mainly just specialists and ranged elites

warm cove
#

if all the weapons and choices arent equal, why are they presented as such?

calm shard
#

for the purposes of auric they might as well be equal

tall torrent
#

Idk I never presented them as equal

#

Some are pretty clearly better than others

calm shard
#

none of the guns are unusably bad in aurics and the only ones that are noticably worse are bottom of the barrel stuff like infantry lasgun and braced autoguns

warm cove
#

"aurics"?

#

you mean the maximum difficulty, right?

tall torrent
#

But for the difficulties you’re prob playing rn the discrepancy between weapons isn’t that large

calm shard
#

yeah the one called auric?

#

that one

tall torrent
#

It’s second highest

warm cove
#

Why do things become equal at the highest difficulties?

tall torrent
#

They’re not equal

calm shard
#

man I don't know where they got that

tall torrent
#

For one auric isn’t the highest
And two if you know what you’re doing, pretty much every weapon is playable in auric

warm cove
#

Ok. but i dont know what im doing or how to learn

tall torrent
#

Some are still just clearly better tho

#

I mean yeah they should have been balanced but skill is typically as big a factor as equipment

tall torrent
#

I’d also like to tell u that this is almost the best “balance” state in the game thus far

full garnet
#

there are cruddy weapons but you can outskill 90% of scenarios

tall torrent
#

It used to be way worse

warm cove
#

Sorry, i know thats not really a 'struggle'

tall torrent
#

And what are the weapons you want to use

warm cove
#

im not dying much, im just performing poorly
Shotgun and vilgilant
also knowing when to use their alt actions

tall torrent
#

Which shotgun

warm cove
#

sorry, tactical shotgun

tall torrent
#

And for vig auto, use mk3

tall torrent
warm cove
#

yes

tall torrent
#

You can check both weapons in the pinned guide if u want more nuanced answers but basically

#

Vig auto 3, very general purpose gun, strong ammo economy, 1 bursts every important enemy to the head

#

You can run it with basically all vet keystones and it’ll work well

#

Combat shotgun, usually either serious range spec or melee hybrid playstyle, it’s a pretty mid tier weapon

#

It’s mid because it’s not a reliable 1 tap on important enemies however it does have good stagger which helps somewhat

#

Veteran is a hybrid combat class, you’re looking at usually 5:5 melee/ranged combat split and this can shift into smth like 7:3 if you’re using guns that have less ammo (and can’t afford to shoot at everything)

calm shard
#

or like 9:1 in the other way on heavy ranged spec with las weapons

tall torrent
#

If you wanted a proper ranged focus class, psyker and hvs do it better

tall torrent
calm shard
#

look if they can't live with born leader and 10 stacks of CK juicing them

#

it was already doomed

tall torrent
#

No u can just be hybrid and mog everything regardless of what ur team is doing

"Help me but only the advice I want"

hollow ibex
#

for single target damage, you typically use full bore no respite

#

for multitarget damage, you need to get a bunch of crit in your talent tree

and then take manstopper + firefrenzy/fullbore/no respite

#

that being said

#

either way CS benefits very heavily from hitting weakspots and critting

#

so going heavy on crit, for example through weapon specialist, is always a good idea

#

oh and accataran CS is shit

#

only use zarona or agri CS

warm cove
hollow ibex
#

because fatshart made it a while back

#

and doesn't know how to balance the game

#

and it got nerfed to shit

#

and then only buffed slightly

#

when zarona/agri got massive buffs

#

example of how to build agri

#

though this one is a slightly meme build lol

warm cove
#

why do you keep saying "build"?

hollow ibex
#

that's just the term for the talents and configuration of the gun you take

warm cove
#

Yeah of your charecter... not your gun, right?

dry cloak
#

Both actually

warm cove
#

but the configurations of guns are randomly generated

tall torrent
#

U can change perks and blessings on ur weapons

#

Only the stat roll is fully RNG where u cope with it by buying the weapon until u get an ideal max stat distribution

warm cove
#

this is exhausting...

tall torrent
#

I’m not sure how new you’re to the game exactly but this is pretty basic stuff

hollow ibex
#

you need both of them to synergize

warm cove
#

im like level 25
all i wanted to know why those guns felt suboptimal when i was using them, and how to use them properly. And i havent really absorbed an answer and im worn out from all this.
What im hearing so far is that this game with dozens of different choices and customization actually has very few correct answers, for some reason

@warm cove mate i suggest you lesve this server and experiment on your own hand

every game is going to have minmaxxed meta

it's not just a DT thing

And then comeback after your second character hits 30

second??

dry cloak
#

Yes?

#

You have 6 classes in this game

2 of which are paid

warm cove

honestly thats the most comforting suggestion ive heard so far

Idk what u mean by not getting answers when I told u how they’re used, what they’re made to shoot at, and gave u ideal perks/blessings for them

Idk what else is missing

you can worry about the meta after you've played the game more

Ah yes. Good ol funneling to most boring weapon in the game for the sake of dps

tall torrent
#

A properly kitted vig auto 3 plays noticeably different from Vraks 5 inf auto

warm cove
#

That just looks insane. He's letting himself get hit by an enemy while shooting one thats far away? and runs past/lets a bunch of enemies run past instead of killing them? why would you do that?
And he's spouting a bunch of code that i am not in the vicinity of understanding. That's been my experience for most of this.

#

Whatever, right?

guess im just a big fucken idiot and it sucks to be me.

what. why is it visored

i wouldn't even complain if it wasn't poorly clipping through the helmet

this is unmodded

Because Fatshark

They made something to it

there is glass clipping out of it on both sides. how do you even do this by accident

But we have no patch notes explaining

I mean
Veteran cosmetic clipping isn't a new thing

this clipping is

i just hopped on today to see what dogshit cosmetics i wont buy only to find out they've randomly shoved a glass 3d model into this helmet

But if you ask me
Probably some internal name cosmetic change that also affected this helmet specifically

But I have nothing to back this theory up

weapon idea
Plasma Pistol
weaker Plasma Gun, but it doesn't blow up when overcharged (Just goes on a very literal cooldown) and maybe better ammo economy

nobody charges up the plasma gun so that's not really much

agile mortar
#

eh fair

narrow yacht

about to try my hand at on overwatch see how it goes, only one try right now

maybe make it another mark or a cosmetic

hollow ibex
#

Waste of ammo varlet

balmy ermine
#

Absolutely not

#

And besides you cant waste plasma gun ammo

#

As long as its fun

balmy ermine
#

Unless a rager just eats the shot like it was nothing

#

But you still got to shoot it so point stands

#

Besides your teammates dont need ammo

#

And if they did they'd beat me to it

hollow ibex
#

Truly guardsman cannon fodder behavior

balmy ermine
#

Well if all the ranged and specialist enemies are dead why does the zealot or pysker need ammo?

#

Have 'em use some of that zeal in cqc

#

And I just dont share ammo with witches

#

You get mind powers you dont need bullets

#

And ogryn is just ogryn

hollow ibex
#

Yeah I mean let’s ignore the fact that you’re needlessly expending holy munitions and taking ammo that other members of your team would put to better use

#

And charging shots is just a waste of time

#

Not just ammo KEKW_ogryn

balmy ermine
#

Nah

balmy ermine
#

And I promise mate

#

They are certainly NOT putting that ammo to better use than i am

#

If you need ammo to deal with chaff hordes as pretty much any class that's a problem

#

Besides I don't even run the plasma gun anymore

Its kinda mid tbh

Infantry lasgun stays winning 💪💪💪💪

yea and get quadruple penetrated by the other ranged enemies

Charge a sniper next time you see one with any melee weapon

They for sure aren't gonna shoot me

While they pick off your whole team in the back?

Because the ranged character is running at a sniper with a knife?

Usually the ones where they dont miss

So like

Malice?

Okay cause normally people know how to dodge them when you get into higher diffs

Yup

Thats best case scenario

u can shoot ranged enemies just usually not all of them

esp if u frontline or run ahead lol

I remember last night I had a zealot not wanting to backup for close spawn

Being honest

Never played another class besides vet

Tried arbites and ogryn

Wasn't a huge fan

Arbites just felt to easy

And I just cant focus on the game whenever an ogryn talks

#

Because its the funniest shit ever every time

balmy ermine

Id argue at least 20-30% of this games playerbase probably doesnt even know how to do a data interrogator tbh

Yeah it's the fatshark formula

Prime example that psyker doesnt need ammo

When you can harness the power of hell itself im gonna be a bit begrudging to handover the ammo

#

Now a gun psyker tho

Never want one

Ever

But in the 1/1000000000 chance I find a psyker that uses a gun it is fun to watch them try to be normal

Rule #1, don't trust your teammates

balmy ermine
#

Zealots a close second though

narrow frost

I pop every barrel before I walk forwards and I run away from bursters if I'm near my team

#

But it's not the class

#

It's the players

balmy ermine
#

I try to push the busters into crowds or ogryn enemies but usually someone sees them coming towards me and goes

#

SHOOT IT

#

SHOOT IT NOW

#

Which is just never fun

balmy ermine
#

Despite the fact that I think bigotry against stupid people is completely justified

#

Im not an actual one

balmy ermine
#

And now that im just not okay with

narrow frost
#

Vet isn't the ranged class though

spark helm
#

It's not like the class you're playing as can't also develop itself to be a shooter.

narrow frost
#

That's psyker and scum

balmy ermine
#

LMFAO

#

Thats bait

#

That is the hardest bait ive ever seen in my life

narrow frost
#

It's just game facts, vet has some of the highest melee damage buffs and doesn't have unlimited ammo. Psyker and scum do

narrow frost
#

Psyker also has higher finesse

balmy ermine
#

Marksmans focus

narrow frost
#

And what about those?

spark helm
hollow ibex
#

Please stop

#

I’m getting second hand embarrassment

Weird my caps locked right there

balmy ermine

#

Dogmatic opportunism.

balmy ermine
#

You deadass said you can waste plasma gun ammo

hollow ibex
narrow frost
balmy ermine
#

That is the most incorrect take ive ever seen

narrow frost
#

You have to melee

hollow ibex
narrow frost
#

Vet doesn't have infinite ammo

balmy ermine
hollow ibex
#

Like saying vet is a ranged class

#

My man

narrow frost
#

And the melee buffs are way higher then ranged

balmy ermine
hollow ibex
#

You’re embarrassing yourself

#

And you don’t even know it

balmy ermine
#

Maybe you're just ass?

spark helm
#

They're mostly getting at the scope of what other classes have for ranged capabilities rather than the rest of the reality. Veteran absolutely can steer itself towards ranged gameplay, but psyker and scum can do it to a much more dynamic degree.

balmy ermine
#

Idk how you think you can waste plasma gun ammo

#

No

#

It literally cant

hollow ibex
balmy ermine
#

"Oh no! Someone doing something fun???!??!?!?!?!"

#

Also it has the single best ammo economy maybe in any game ever

spark helm
#

Well now the segueway has already happened so np.

balmy ermine
#

No the plasma gun

hollow ibex
#

Larping so hard he’s gone full ogryn

tame lodge
#

Oh

#

Yeah not the plasma

narrow frost
#

Vet can be built into having a lot of ranged buffs, yes. But is limiting himself by removing their highest damage increase which are melee based. Then you compare psyker and scum which scale ranged and melee without needing to have a different build. Vet breaks down into being the hybrid class, but if ranged is what you find fun. Go for it, I love both melee and ranged vet

tall torrent
balmy ermine
#

Explain to me how you even run out of ammo with a plasma gun

narrow frost
#

Higher difficulties spawn more enemies

primal zealot
#

anyone who thinks plasma has good ammo economy needs a brain transplant

narrow frost
#

Game is balanced around damnation/auric

balmy ermine
#

Like way wrong

#

Literally never have had an issue with plasma ammo in all the auric and damnations ive ran

#

While still disintegrating everything infront of my team

spark helm
#

It's not like the person is saying anything wrong in that veteran literally has ranged gameplay baked in to its design. Wrong in terms of the sheer ceiling of what ranged class play looks like especially now but not at all wrong in noting where the class actually juices ranged. Idk understand the point of denying that just because the clout coherency is high.

balmy ermine
#

But literally

#

He has an entire skill tree

#

That makes him surpass every other character at range

tall torrent
#

Vet’s talent tree is made for hybrid combat

balmy ermine
#

Or branch ig

balmy ermine
#

Yeah he can be a hybrid

narrow frost
#

Have you played psyker?

balmy ermine
#

If you cant keep up with scum or psyker with exec stance its time to re evaluate a lot tbh

hollow ibex
#

Ainz has the patience of a saint

#

Or he gets off on this

balmy ermine
#

Im starting to think you guys might be the vets im getting on my team tbh

Nothing commendable is really happening but np.

Probably the latter uwugryn

I don't mind debating with people, I'm just keeping busy

tame lodge

Or coils

spark helm

The glaze of the day was so clean lol.

balmy ermine
#

Do you just not pick up ammo during the mission?

tame lodge
#

No

#

I'm a Helbore player

#

Ammo is a myth

tall torrent
tame lodge
balmy ermine
#

Or you can speck into specific things

#

Like a sensible person

tall torrent
#

Ranged branch on vet is not as self sufficient as psyker/hvs because it’s much more oriented in backline sniping and you pretty much always need a good frontliner to enable u to do that

balmy ermine
#

Well thankfully its a TEAM GAME

#

And thats also a skill issue

tall torrent
#

Whereas psyker and hvs ranged don’t need frontliner and just auto mog everything

balmy ermine
#

If I can dodge through hordes in exec stance with an infantry lasgun and still keeping my stance active

#

You can too mate

#

You got this

balmy ermine
#

No it isnt

#

You can VERY reliably snipe from the Frontlines

#

And cut down the ranged enemies before the horde gets to you in just about 90% of the missions

#

Some less so

#

But once again

#

Its a TEAM game

#

You're meant to work

#

TOGETHER

tall torrent
#

It’s only rly a team game in havoc

balmy ermine
#

You're just actually funny

#

Like

#

This

turbid ibex
balmy ermine
#

Its unprecedented

narrow frost
#

With how the audio and slot system works playing right next to each other actually gets you killed alot

#

Like your burster example a bit ago

balmy ermine
#

Not at all actually

#

working together doesnt mean everyone is shoulder to shoulder like a riot squad

#

It means utilizing different skillsets to achieve the best outcome

narrow frost
#

Fair enough I did assume because that is a common misconception

balmy ermine
#

And i still dont see how psyker outclasses an even moderate vet with exec stance
