as you can see towards the end

#

please ignore my horrible gameplay those like i said it was my first game on

slim pagoda
#

whys it feel so bad firing plasma gun at rotten armor on h40 like nothing really happens lol

narrow frost
#

because they have 75% damage reduction

#

and plasma doesnt have good carapace adms

hollow ibex
#

plasma being bad against armor fatshark

tall torrent
calm shard
#

and the heat xd

slim pagoda
#

yea its just bad go psyker or idk what else do u run

narrow frost
#

hit them in the head with melee

calm shard
#

or use the actually good carapace guns the bolter and the helbore

#

and be the exe+MMF veteran you were born to be

turbid ibex
#

hit them with the command grab

slim pagoda
#

u mean like a shovel

turbid ibex
#

no

#

the veteran buster

steep pier
#

well on havoc 40

#

crushers have 9600 health dont they

#

so with that damage reduction of course plasma guns not gonna feel good

I'm wondering if they're doing this event to work more on making contaminated stimms less jank tbh

#

Could be hopium though.

tall torrent
hybrid plover
#

I figured. Still would like for staggering to actually matter. And I don't even mean the red stimm causing stagger immunity

#

It's just really jarring staggering something only for it to completely ignore it for the stimm animation

Does anyone know how to transfer character data from Xbox to Steam?

tall torrent

#

You'll first need to configure a qubit in an XOR configuration using your standard Hadamard operator. Then you'll need to communicate the entanglement via Bluetooth. Afterwards you'll decode the qubit onto your computer using your own operators, after which you'll need to attach the necessary Steam class files

#

Mfw bulwarks walk into melee then inject stimms

umbral scaffold
#

You wanna know something that saddens me? The blue shock maul's left overhead heavy + light combo has this little flourish the character does where they swing the maul around, because the light comes from below and naturally you'd flip the weapon to do an overhead

#

And the sad part is that light attack from below does not have head priority

#

So it's cool, but not really good

agile mortar
#

guys here's an idea
Felinid character creation options DLC for Veteran

south river
#

Which is the best combat shotgun for vet/which blessings ?

calm shard
south river
calm shard
#

I mean yeah it should slot in almost exactly the same if that's the build I'm thinking of

#

the WS melee one

#

less horde clear but hey agri slug going through an entire line of maulers

#

Any good heavy plasma pistol builds?

slender elm
#

what

dry cloak
#

Theres no plasma pistol in dt

slender elm
#

its not in sm2 either

#

only regular plasma pistol

dry cloak
south river
#

Oh ffs, sorry Heavy Las Pistol

slender elm
#

oh lul

#

not sure if las pistol is good on vet, the class heavily relies on the firearm to deal with specials

unreal nova
slender elm
#

snipers will be pain

#

and probably bursters

unreal nova
slender elm
#

with what

unreal nova
#

The las pistol, the fast mark at least, can totally be used to shred things afar.

#

Never used the heavy mark so don't ask me.

#

It's a better inflas.

slender elm
#

i think i only used heavy mark, on psyker

unreal nova
#

The heavy mark is niche.

distant mural
#

I like heavy mark to pop heads.

slender elm
#

thonk

#

not sure which mark im actually using

#

but i run it on DD psyker for easy stacks

unreal nova
slender elm
#

might be that one

#

on vet tho

#

no fucking clue if worth

unreal nova
#

Cos at least for auric and below, it's great allrounder with decent magdump into boss face damage.

#

Actually, more than decent.

#

Is good.

slender elm
#

I just run ilas and pop heads lel

calm shard
unreal nova
calm shard
#

it is effectively just a direct upgrade to the infantry lasgun

slender elm
#

But damage falloff...

calm shard
#

crits don't care and you shouldn't either

slender elm
#

Do I have enough crit here... im mmf...

unreal nova
#

The gun loves finesse as well btw.

#

Just need to be good at aiming, like I said earlier.

slender elm
#

I don't think my aim is good either

unreal nova
slender elm
#

Yeah

#

Doesn't mean I land those headshots lel

unreal nova
#

I'm just saying, you are basically punished more on the inflas compared to the laspistol.

slender elm
#

Ok

unreal nova
#

Plus, mobility.

#

That thing lets you move like having a slightly slower than knife/ds out.

slender elm
#

Guess I'll try it

unreal nova
#

Dump stablility for fast mark, mobility for heavy. Personally just dump mobility if you cba to get 2.

#

It's more than fast enough unless you just played zealot/ganger.

#

On inf blu stimms and 100% tox resist buff.

slender elm
#

What blessings tho, dumdum and crits?

unreal nova
#

Think same as recon. Check path's guide.

#

Oh, I think it was ghost+infernus.

slender elm
#

Infernus ghost dumdum

#

Hmmmmmm

#

Dumdum is the mandatory one

unreal nova
#

Ghost lets you play budget psyker. XD

slender elm
#

I already have that on psyker running desperado lul

unreal nova
slender elm
#

Desperado is crit buff on dodge

#

So I can feedback loop my ee

unreal nova
#

Yeah, but ghost is weakspot hits.

slender elm
#

Welp, I generally don't need ghost on psyker especially when im clearing a room of gunners

unreal nova
slender elm
#

Probable

#

I'm not too impressed with infernus tho

unreal nova
slender elm
#

On fgs psyker it seems redundant

unreal nova
#

Still doesn't hurt to set it on fire before bonking. Things dying faster is always good.

slender elm
#

Perhaps, but more crits when im shooting sounds better

calm shard
#

I think it's +10%?

unreal nova
#

Especially meleeker or gunker with gaze.

slender elm
#

yeah its fgs meleeker with gaze dd

#

i only pull out the gun when i need to get a lot of dd quickly or i am unable to approach for melee

#

which doesnt happen in most cases

unreal nova
#

It is a good sidearm that doesn't need to greed ammo after all.

slender elm
#

indeed

#

im gonna try laspistol vet now

#

should i ws or mmf actually

unreal nova
#

You know the pathing has all the free damage nodes.

slender elm
#

ye

#

might not have enough points tho

#

that and do i want exe stance...

unreal nova
#

Specifically skirmisher.

#

Cos is laspistol, you can absolutely run around to reposition and pewpew.

slender elm
#

eh, can you dodge slide backwards?

unreal nova
#

It's literally like all the fast mobility guns.

#

Also, you can get 1 point in MMF and still path to Skirmisher.

#

Assuming you also want to grab the oggy+monstrosity damage.

#

You have more free points if you drop the clip size or shocktrooper.

slender elm
#

so i can neutral dodge and still slide, interesting

unreal nova
slender elm
#

hmmm

#

well i always forget to upkeep skirmisher when im swinging

unreal nova
#

Feels crappy to path mid and not take the oggy/monstrosity damage though.

#

Which melee though?

slender elm
#

currently fucking around with taxe

unreal nova
slender elm
#

yeh, but it is what it is

#

i would rather skip shock trooper if i had the choice

unreal nova
slender elm
#

isnt that max ammo actually

#

minor confusion

unreal nova
#

Clip size.

#

The other route.

#

Kill zone is free damage if you don't get melee'd.

trim badger
#

I don't understand people who say desperado is not better vet when range related stuff O_o

trim badger
#

Like You can see the stats at the end of the video

unreal nova
#

We still waiting for autoreload to return on exestance.

trim badger
#

More than double the one in 2nd place

#

Top special

#

Top elite

#

Top monstrosity

#

Both dmg and kills

#

Practically the entire scoreboard is highlighting me this is so... Desperado

unreal nova
#

I get it. Ppl just don't want to. Class is pay2win, but actually needs skills to a degree instead of Arby.

trim badger
#

????

unreal nova
trim badger
#

Well I know that

unreal nova
#

Is why the rocket buff is wat?

trim badger
#

The moment I saw pickpocket and that it worked with needle

#

I knew this class was gonna be mega silly

unreal nova
#

The only thing it loses in is raw hp/toughness numbers.

#

That's about it.

trim badger
#

It's just silly

#

escape any unfavourable matchup by using nimble + jittery

unreal nova
#

And I guess no real DR, but you have god dodges and immunity.

trim badger
#

if desperado run vulture's Dodge and now you're immune to almost everything

unreal nova
#

Lul.

I think people are sad on vet because they can't waste ammo on horde

#

Unlike scum

#

And the saddest part?

unreal nova
trim badger
#

People new at the Game are not gonna realize this about scum and not buy the dlc

#

It's easy to see from the steam page something like Arbites

#

And you get that it's a guy with a dog

#

And a shield

#

It screams "I'm tanky"

is this one of them twitch drops? ain't never seen these cosmetics before

But they see scum and they're like "WTF is this supposed to do"

That's a steel legion cap iirc

#

And I hope I'm right

Otherwise the steel legion fans are going to kill me

tropic halo
#

That frame looks like is from WH+

trim badger
#

You do need to be immune or at the very least have big DR against ranged

#

For you to push in

calm shard
trim badger
#

Now vulture's Dodge, that is indeed braindead easy

#

And OP xddd

#

But yeah I think Rampage and Desperado themselves are pretty alright

#

But vulture's Dodge and Pickpocket needs nerfs O_o

calm shard
#

desperado is in no way fine on its own

#

empathic evasion is not fine on its own and that's conditional ranged immunity

trim badger
#

It is tied to a cooldown

#

If anything it's chem dependency that boosts this into oblivion

#

Not desperado itself

trim badger
#

Sorry

#

By critting

#

And Psyker can deal crits very often with weapons like recon or flame staff

The prison outfit is tied to each individual character

You can change it using personality scourge

blazing jetty
#

Yeah, but you can change it back any time

still interesting that it is completely impossible to have more than one color

is executioner the only viable option for helbore? i never see a helbore build with voc or infil

#

also i'm already familiar with the guide

sly orchid
#

Exe is more favourable for the damage buffs

#

Voc and infiltrate are better for melee builds

hexed arch
#

doesn't infil also have 30% damage though?

tall torrent
sly orchid
#

Up to prefference

#

But exe also has a longer uptime and wallhacks

tall torrent
#

Stun immune + giga toughness/s makes a huge difference

sly orchid
#

Ill try an exe melee build

tall torrent
#

Infil is the weakest of the 3

#

Stance and VoC are roughly equal

hexed arch
#

i like voc not because it takes no skill to use but because it gives veteran a support role

Haven't tested H40, but even in damns with chem 'nades, at 60.

So not really complaining.

dense belfry

They changed marksman focus so you don't have to stand still?

yup

That's a good change.

only issue now is the bad pathing

Gonna test it, if it looks too dog, i might have to still keep it

sweet coyote
#

Beyond survalist/shock trooper/onslaught, any other nodes a must have?

hollow ibex
#

onslaught is bad

#

it's only somewhat useful against crushers

but to begin with, you should be meleeing crushers anyway

#

shooting them is incredibly inefficient

as for builds, see HOTE guide in the pins

Set most things on low and FPS limit on 90, psykhanium is now fine and not hitting 99% on GPU constantly, looks still ok

Maybe traxis means like, a regular infantry soldier? It seems to mostly designate enemies you see fairly regularly

tall torrent

It prob means traitor

livid hill
tall torrent
#

A guy with power sword/maul and void shield is not mere foot soldier

livid hill
#

Well he's a commander I meant

livid hill
# tall torrent It prob means traitor

Ur probably right....... but the more obvious conclusion is they just wanted them to sound cool and as if they had a nomenclature when they really didnt

turbid ibex
#

Iirc the enemies that have "traxis" in their callout code are all either scabs or the dreg shotgunners/gunners

tame lodge
#

Scab Flamer is Traxis
Dreg Flamer is Deltacron

turbid ibex
#

And dreg gunners 100% share all their callouts with the other "gunner" type elites

#

Dreg shotgunners have a few unique callouts i think tho

livid hill
#

So it could just mean like, specifically a guardsman who defected

turbid ibex
#

But prob quite a few shared with scab shotgunners

livid hill
#

Idk abt dregs though

#

Arbites nomenclature is more obvious because everything is sextus-(something)

#

Sextus might mean like enemy or smthn

patent moth
#

yummy flames

tame lodge
#

Arby's also has call out for mutant

#

Veteran seeing a mutant

livid hill
#

Im stupid and not an actual game balancer but wouldnt many of the problems be fixed by just having fire weapons interact with the cleave system but also just letting them have high cleave

#

It doesnt make sense that fire can just go through someone like it has mass anyways

hollow ibex
#

rn weapons and abilities bypassing game systems is really strong

tall torrent
#

Because unlike ur melee/ranged attacks which have specific direction and hit one thing after another

#

AOE hits everything at the same time

#

How do u determine what gets hit first to consume the budget

livid hill
#

Ppl complain abt them being op and it makes sense to me now that they literally just ignore something other weapons always have to contend with

tall torrent
#

Let’s say u set 15 cleave budget for flame stream

#

What happens after it hits 2 maulers

#

The flame VFX effect still plays but nothing gets hit?

livid hill
#

Idk how does cleave work for shotguns? Would that be applicable?

tall torrent
livid hill
hollow ibex
#

i mean i think it'd work fine

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

assatran special is subject cleave limits

#

why isn't flamer/purg?

tall torrent
#

But shotgun is not a continuous VFX like flame

hollow ibex
#

the only difference is that flamer is continuous

#

but that shouldn't matter for cleave at all

#

it's totally irrelevant

#

just make the fire sputter out

#

and how it plays is far more important than how it looks

oof havent played my vet in a year, all my old presets have been reset D:
is there anything like the ogrynomicon for vets?

I personally think flame weapons can be nerfed more easily by reducing the rate at which they apply DOT stacks

hollow ibex
#

i guess that's fine too

livid hill

but then psyker will suffer 😭

#

Easy solution: less carapace

#

Or make carapace enemies have some sort of weakness you can exploit with a low rending weapon

#

I once read someone suggesting that carapace armor should be able to be "shot off" of crushers without enough fire that rn would just deflect off of them and I like that a lot bc it lets ppl with high rending weappns like volvo have their fun while also making it physically possible for a low rending weapon to pierce them

#

Maybe underneath the carapace is like unarmored or something so its like extra easy to hurt

#

Idk again I'm no game designer but I feel like crushers are a poorly designed enemy........

#

Also do people still think exec stance is underpowered? Bc i disagree but i think it'd be cool if you could ping enemies you can see with exec stance thru walls

calm shard
livid hill
#

I love exec stance i wont lie

#

They can "limit" this dick as I throw a krak grenade at them

livid hill
#

I love psyker

calm shard
#

oh then I just shoot them with my helbore

#

or beat them to death with a shovel

#

or axe them to death with a tactical axe

dry cloak
#

i think brain rupture should do more damage and bypass armor

calm shard
#

on psyker I stab them twice with force sword and they disappear

#

nobody knows what happens to them

livid hill
dry cloak
calm shard
#

if some weapons aren't objectively worse into carapace then what would be the point of running the ones that aren't good into crowds

#

I don't mind the weapon sandbox too much as is now for melee weapons

#

The "low tier" melees do still fulfill niches just not the commonly expected ones

livid hill
#

Also what purpose do crushies serve that isnt already fulfilled by maulers and bulwarks/gen

livid hill
calm shard
#

dclaw, chainsword, heavy sword, etc. are all actually pretty good as sidearms for ranged builds

#

because they have crazy good horde clear, and if you're already using your gun/blitz/whatever to kill armor

#

you kinda don't feel their bad armor damage

#

and also pretty good primaries on zealot because fury of the faithful doesn't give a shit what armor the enemy has

#

and pretty good primaries on hive scum too because they have so much damage it just doesn't matter

livid hill
dry cloak
#

so many people dismiss those because ,,bad into carapace = bad,,

dry cloak
silver patrol
#

that's because most guns can't deal with carapace

dry cloak
#

true

calm shard
#

Dclaw 7 can actually kind of kill carapace

silver patrol
#

or can at a great ammo cost

calm shard
#

That parry strikedown combo does far more damage than a weapon with such shit ADMs has any right to be doing

livid hill
dry cloak
#

on damnation crusher clown cars dont exist basically

livid hill
#

And crushers obv block your shots and are a huge target that sorta shields other enemies from your fire (sorta like bulwarks tmu?)

dry cloak
#

unless its a histg

dry cloak
livid hill
#

Like im thinking crushers should also knock other enemies over or kill them when they attack?

#

And Maybe they should spawn alone*

narrow frost
#

They do knock over allies

livid hill
#

Not hating, just like

Its not that "coolio"

Only 2 more levels and ill have my vet at level 30

faint beacon
#

Personally I think they should tone down the Flak damage on Devils Claw

#

its a bit too much

turbid ibex
#

I think they should tone down your damage vs flak

hexed arch
#

which helbore mark should i take

dry cloak
#

Because its a simple trade off between power and speed

mystic pilot
#

V is the fastest firing (but lower damage per shot)

#

IIIa is middle ground

#

IV is the slowest but most damage per shot

#

V may be the fastest firing but it only beat out IIIa by 12 shots per minutes on the fire rate

i prefer open sights usually

I don't like DTs hooded sight

hollow ibex
#

yeah there are some hooded sights that i like

#

not the one here tho

mystic pilot
#

at least there are mods that can give you sights and scopes you want on your guns

#

I kinda want american springfield m1903 rifle iron sights on it just so something american is included in the Krieg aesthetic 😛

#

i like to think the mechanicum has a handful of 20th century or earlier weapons hidden deep in some vault that they worship as archaeotech

#

the whole aethestic of the Death Krops of Krieg is WW1

Do you like the sights on it?

I don't think it has the blessing

brave acorn
#

Were you just talking about making quick follow up shots then?

umbral scaffold
#

Yeah

brave acorn
#

Well we know how bad lasgun is with recoil. Exe stance is really working for him there

tall torrent
#

they just made inf las have high visual recoil

#

but it's just that, visual

#

it does not translate into actual recoil

brave acorn
tall torrent
#

the only variant with actually noticeable recoil is mk2b and it's still very controllable

hollow ibex
#

the visual recoil feels really bad tho

turbid ibex
#

with the way it moves you'd think youre firing a 50 cal or something

#

not a fucking laser gun

#

specially with how the other lasguns stand almost completely still while firing

wheat stratus
#

do you have to take the bolt pistol out for Lethal Proximity to increase nade radius?

turbid ibex
#

no

#

lethal prox is always active regardless of what weapon you have out

inland trout
#

i cannot for the life of me figure out how to make shotguns feel...effective

hollow ibex
#

which shotguns?

#

the build varies

inland trout
#

both the double barrels and combat shotguns

#

more to the latter

hollow ibex
#

combat shotguns can be built to work with your typical weapon specialist build

#

they're finesse weapons except the accatran

#

which is just a shit weapon

#

you can build combat shotguns for single target damage or multi target damage

inland trout
#

you're telling me shotguns are more of a WEAKSPOT weapons???

hollow ibex
#

yuuuup

#

at least CS are

inland trout
#

so thats why they feel like shit

inland trout
#

i'm guessing infiltrator is not a optimal choice for shotguns

hollow ibex
#

infil kinda sucks generally

#

but can work with DB

#

on a weapon spec build

umbral scaffold
#

Infiltrator is more for the utility than the damage bonus, I'd say

#

Thoughness refill, drops aggro, movement speed, suppression when reappearing, makes revives easier

slender elm
#

Damage boost on grenade

inland trout
#

well, what blessings are recommended for combat shotguns on a executioners stance build

hollow ibex
#

depends

#

do you want to focus on multi target damage or single target?

#

single target it's full bore no respite

#

multi target it's manstopper + fullbore/deathspitter prob

inland trout
#

Multi, sweep the room of ranged infantry

hollow ibex
#

and you'll need deadshot

#

to proc manstopper

slender elm
#

Is ws better in this case

hollow ibex
#

yeah that's an option too

#

lots of ways to build CS

slender elm
#

I mean he's relying on manstopper here

mystic pilot

#

more crit is obviously helpful

midnight totem
#

having a hard time deciding between the agrippina autogun or the braced agrippina for my melee stealth vet

#

Been experimenting with a buncha weapons in mid havoc and auric, mostly for the purpose of killing walls of gunners and specials

hollow ibex
#

braced auto is terrible on infil

#

actually it's terrible in general

#

but a bit less terrible with exec stance

umbral scaffold
#

I can't speak for the others, but the braced one felt awful to hit anything with, and bracing had this awkward delay where I couldn't fire

#

Meanwhile, the infantry one can ADS and the hipfire is still pretty decent, at the downside of being a finesse weapon

#

Though I didn't like the braced's body damage anyway, so I guess both are mean to click heads

hollow ibex
#

braced is meant for body shots really

#

it has like no finesse

#

and horrible accuracy

midnight totem
#

I like the double barrel, but I need to kill snipers

#

Eh, was testing out the graia autogun

#

Not enough body penetration, and agrippina has a bit too much horizontal kick

#

Guess its back to the revolver for me

steep pier
#

On zealot when I run db i always run chaxe

gentle lake
#

atleast

steep pier

With stealth bolt gun is decent

you can kill them from any range, in auric dont even need a crit, havoc you do

Haha, nice

#

Nah, double barrel isn't this vet's style. I only run it on my other vet

2 shots, auric. 50+ meters

void dragon
#

Genuinely i feel my brain is eroding, i ask people to slow down so someone can give me cover fire to advance and they are like "you are the only one who is behind". YES IM BEHIND BECAUSE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SPECIALS NO ONE WANTS TO LOOK BEHIND YOU JERKS! worse is that they aready died in the process of rushing but we managed to stabilize but the moment i die they die from all the specials i was killing WHAT A SURPRISE!!

#

"stop making excuses" they say, i feel so done...

primal zealot
#

my whole philosophy of combat essentially boils down to leading the charge. very ogrynbrained i know but ideally i dont see much of the rest of the team

#

cant get farted on by those special spawns behind if ur all the way in front

#

also like there is the possibility that ur causing more to spawn by hanging too far back

#

but i know that feel bro

void dragon
#

im quite the opposite, i have the urge to look behind and make sure everyone is moving forward without a jerk trapper behind them

#

its quite hard to advance when 3 muties are charging you and you have to dodge them while shooting a sniper line

tall torrent
#

do I rly wanna do this for every weapon hmmmm

primal zealot
#

theres only like 3 weapons that get turned on

#

well i guess theres the folding shovels

tall torrent
#

actually detailed numbers

#

dmg & stagger values across cleave distribution

#

and finesse curve

#

and attack ADMs

primal zealot
#

ah i see

tall torrent
#

it would take very substantial time & effort to make this in the first place

#

and it'd be a nightmare to maintain

#

even tho I think this is actually all useful detail

#

no

#

thx

hollow ibex

but i wonder if at a certain point

it's easier to just make an app that parses the source code lmfao

tall torrent
#

the calculations are not complicated

it's figuring stuff out and verifying them to be right that takes a lot of time

honestly most public game teammates won't go out of their way to save you if you arent within 10m of them

it just be like that

sometimes da team do be blind and deaf

considering it was intended to be something of a sidegrade to the power sword its uhhhhhh definitely not that

but the psword has been busted strong for fucking ever so idk

i would use it on my combat shotgun build but i want to switch things up

Yah

marsh condor

Ok.

I basically bought a trinket specifically for this knife with the RNG insta-kill.

tough nova
#

It has no effect on some of the most dangerous enemies

marsh condor
#

Even if said insta-kill's restricted to human-sized enemies, which I am aware of.

#

That's why I'm using this knife on a build that's otherwise largely built for killing Ogryns and bosses.

question: what value is going for flak on the bolter over caparace or unyeling? what breakpoint is reached with it?

tall torrent
#

carapace doesn't change it that much (4 headshots to kill crusher in auric) and u usually don't want to spend ammo on crushers with it

unyielding is monster dps (can't actually reach reaper 1 taps reliably)
