From who

faint beacon
#

Infantry is alright

hollow ibex
#

vraks is still op

#

braced are still shit

#

VAGs are good (i hate them)

silver patrol
#

Literally nothing changed except for vigilants in the last year

amber mortar
void dragon
silver patrol
#

I think it's amazing how you need to brace the fastest firing braced autogun just for it to have the same firerate as the vraks but with way worse dps

void dragon
#

and all the brautos have less impact than a peestol

amber mortar
void dragon
#

obesefisht hates brautos

silver patrol
#

Pretty sure brautos have actually a lot of impact

void dragon
#

nowhere as much as Shredder

silver patrol
#

Still staggers scab ragers irrc

hollow ibex
#

yeah agri has good stagger at least

#

agri brauto

amber mortar
#

what about columnus

hollow ibex
#

infantry auto?

#

it's fine

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

kinda meh on the dps department, but easy to control

silver patrol
#

I tried brauto on scum

#

It's brimstone I'm afraid

hollow ibex
#

brauto on scum's prob the strongest brauto

amber mortar
#

power falchion when they added that

hollow ibex
#

(still not very good)

silver patrol
amber mortar
#

is it good tho?

hollow ibex
#

it's got its niche

silver patrol
#

Hard to remember because it didn't exactly leave an impression

hollow ibex
#

but it's mid

amber mortar
#

ah ok

hollow ibex
#

i like it as a ranged vet sidearm

#

it's good when powered on

#

but when powered off, you are in for a very bad time

#

so it works pretty well if you're maining ranged anywya

tall torrent
#

It’s only 8-10 buffs away from being good

amber mortar
#

its looks cool

turbid ibex
amber mortar
#

all of my buids trees got deleted

#

i need to catch up

silver patrol
#

Owned

tall torrent
turbid ibex
#

what are the buffs

tall torrent
#

It’d be rly cool if their push attacks were heavy attack profile

turbid ibex
#

what would that mean

hollow ibex
#

rager stagger?

tall torrent
# turbid ibex what would that mean

Mk1 push atk, instead of using smiter L, make it use smiter H (same atk as the heavy overheads)

Mk2 push atk, instead of using sweep L, make it use sweep H (same atk as mk1’s H3)

turbid ibex
#

and what would that change

#

in terms of gameplay

tall torrent
#

Push atk energized can break rager combo

turbid ibex
#

i see

tall torrent
#

Mk1 push atk + L3 loop can be spammed for single target dps (better than heavy attacks but costs stamina)

#

Mk2 can do push atk + H1 for better horde clear & mixed horde control

mystic pilot
#

aim is worse than hipfire against infested?

#

wack

void dragon
#

man, the single best run i had with randos in the event has been with me running around invi, tossing nades and stiming them all because NO ONE TAKE THEM! why obesefish made the properties of the stims so unknown? no one wants to get drugged unless i do nurse work

cerulean flume
#

Tried using the plasma gun

narrow frost
#

congrats

cerulean flume
#

Big drawback is the firing speed

void dragon
#

but it hits quite hard and can pierce a lot of enemies

#

its a VERY good trade

turbid ibex
#

it fires pretty fast if youre not charging (which you shouldnt do anyways)

void dragon
#

i severely dislike that from the gun, charging it should feel rewarding but m1 spam is so busted that is detrimental to use

silver patrol
#

True, to make m2 worth it, its aoe should be 5m in radious with projectile damage and no falloff

sharp epoch
silver patrol
#

So true

#

But yeah if they nerf m1, the gun is dead imo, so they should make m2 do something instead

mystic pilot
#

looking at the stats in the guide. charged has pen 2.0 to normal shot's 1.25 pen, charged shot also make an explosion the moment it hit a terrain surface.

hot thorn
#

so does onslaught apply per pellet for shotguns?

hollow ibex
#

would be pretty crazy if it did

#

actually prob not crazy

#

just ok

mystic pilot
hot thorn
#

but thanks for the info!

frigid rover
#

man thatd be very snazzy if it worked that way

#

devs, pls buff.

turbid ibex
#

making each pellet count as a separate hit/attack would def have some domino effect

primal zealot
#

could be funny tbh

still dove
#

should i make a bolt pistol build

sonic kayak
still dove
#

damn why lol

prime wyvern
#

do eet

patent moth
#

:3 ive been using the plasma gun, holy peak

#

but i still HAVENT GOTTEN toughness curious 🥲

still dove
hybrid plover
#

I mean I guess if you wanna run a boss killer krak build for funsies

#

But honestly weapon specialist is usually better for bistol if you want to actually use it.

hollow ibex
#

MMF bistol uwugryn

honest quiver
#

it's so beautiful

slender elm
#

wow

kindred shore
#

one day i will have three 17% toughness curios on ONE character

hallow drift
#

My Scum has more 21% HP curios than my zealot lol

honest quiver
#

i just kept getting god curios for my vet

#

i have an overwhelming amount now

molten hound
#

does anyone have a fun exec stance bolter build

keen wharf
#

Ain't no way vet hits up to 8k with heavy sword. ha

odd dirge
#

But I guess if I try to farm I can get more

south river
primal tartan
#

what is melkbux

south river
#

the currency you get from completing Melk's weekly contracts

primal tartan
#

yeah then

south river
#

If you go to Melk and select mystery acquisitions you can choose "Defensive Curio"

primal tartan
#

the la are almost always bad

south river
#

spending a couple grand gives you a chance of max curios

#

but it's still the main gacha game element left in Darktide from launch

#

which hopefully will be reworked or removed in future

primal tartan
#

i like it

odd dirge
south river
#

use your Melk currency for curios only

#

Hopefully this doesn't come off rude

#

so with weapons what you want to do

primal tartan
#

the LAs are almost always awful

south river
#

once you hit level 30, you go to Brunt's armoury and roll new grey weapons there

#

you look at the stat spread as you hit "Acquire" and roll greys with the spread you want

#

then you upgrade the weapon at Hadron's terminal to max

odd dirge
primal tartan
#

and thats true it is way easier to roll weapons in armory

south river
#

but for Melk currency best use is curios

#

you can get a weapon with "correct" or meta stat distribution easily from Brunt

#

but you can only roll curios at Melk's terminal

#

if you're playing casually though it doesn't really matter

arctic ridge
#

Recently got the game, just played a few matches with family, currently as veteran.

My younger brother explained to me about 'dump stat' for stuff.

Now asking the question here -- what's are the best specific guns marks versions, to keep an eye out for in the armory shop.

arctic ridge
arctic ridge
#

From what I seen so far -- not just different gun types, but even different mark models with perks.

primal tartan
#

do you use lasguns or what are you interested in

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

well what gun do you use now

#

primarily

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

ahhh i see

#

well

arctic ridge
#

Infantry Lasgun, Kantrael Mk IX profane.

#

Haven't spent coin on anything yet.

primal tartan
#

most people will say that gun is bad but its acctually my favorite

arctic ridge
#

Just talent points, since the tree is refundable.

primal tartan
#

if you aim good then its acc good

#

i see

#

well if you like i can send you my build its made for that gun or something similar

#

for that gun i would say

#

def mkvII is the best all around

#

but you can change the mark of the weapon as you level it up if you didnt know

#

so acctually what you should be looking for

primal tartan
#

is mainly a weapon with the dump stat you want whcih 9/10 times is

#

mobility

#

except for the las pistol then stability

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

yes

#

and im assuming the melee youre using is the sapper shovel

#

for that one you should dumo defense

#

if you like it and keep using it

#

i also use that

#

or the dueling sword ( dump mobility)

#

but as far as mks go you dont need to look for any as

#

you unlock them all as yuo level the armoury up

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

and they are interchangable

primal tartan
#

thats the good mk haha

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

for the inflas tho

#

as soon as you change change it to mkII

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

mkVII*

#

yes

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

infantry lasgun

arctic ridge
#

ah

primal tartan
#

yes sir

slender elm
#

read guide in pins

#

has info for everything

primal tartan
#

that too

arctic ridge
slender elm
#

this channel

#

📌

arctic ridge
#

am currently at the store now, just wondering if some 60 dump mobility guns are worth getting now.

primal tartan
#

depends which ones

#

and you dont know what build youi want yet so

#

just depends on that

#

if theres a sepcific weapon you want

#

roll in the brunts armoury

#

you should get what you want in 10 ish pulls

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

what are the dump stats?

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

also remember you can change the mk for each with some time

#

the recon lasgun is lots of fun for casual play and easy to build

#

the infantry lasgun is what i use in auric

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

it can rotate in when you unlock it

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

that one is good too but reliant on your aim

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

well then either lasgun is a good choice

arctic ridge
#

gotcha

primal tartan
#

i prefer infantry but the racon is a spray and forget kinda deal

#

infantry is a more precise gun

#

recon is also just as fun and good

arctic ridge
#

Quick question, can you sum how to make curios to orange & slot 3 perks?

primal tartan
#

yes by consecrating them

arctic ridge
#

My younger brother shown me, but that awhile ago.

primal tartan
#

what trust level are you

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

any rarity

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

ah so yes

#

you can go to the shrine and upgrage them

arctic ridge
primal tartan
#

its the npc shop that glows orange

#

with the skull

arctic ridge
#

ty

primal tartan
#

yessir

#

if youre looking to build play the event missions they give you a lot of crafting materials

#

thats what im doing you can join me if you like

arctic ridge
#

nonetheless appreciated.

primal tartan
#

for sure man

drowsy perch
#

why are there so many prison pants cosmetics but basically 0 prison tops

#

where matching set

spark helm
#

Palettes can have contrast and all that. I guess in the case of the prison cosmetics, it's just that maybe: being an inmate.

drowsy perch
#

just did combat blade + shredder pistol + infiltrate + weapons specialist and its fucking insane

#

its like playing a mosqutio that can also easily kill them

hearty snow
#

whatre the good crowd clearing melee weapons

#

aside from power sword

drowsy perch
#

devil claw is great for hordes and unarmored

#

shovel is p good at crowd control

hearty snow
#

ill try the assault chainsword again

drowsy perch
#

yeah devils claw is what i use on my auric/havoc too

#

when im sniper anyways

#

gun can do everything that isnt horde

south river
hexed arch
#

what's better for veteran curios 2 toughness and 1 health or 3 toughness?

#

i know at least one health curio is mandatory for havoc but is it still good outside of it?

dry cloak
#

either way is good

unreal nova
hexed arch
#

well i try to snipe with a helbore so idk how much bonus health will help me

slender elm
#

you cant avoid getting bapped in the head by some random poxer while you shoot, forever

#

and other times you need to melee

arctic ridge
#

Currently looking within the "BLESSINGS MENU" of my equipped gun.

So am I reading this right --

Blessing Points of the eagle-in-church-window that are both beneath the skull, are the blessing points I have that I can spend for the gun...

... while the Blessing Points of just-the-eagle that's below both, along some row of checkmarks, are is the EXP bar for my gun & its bank of blessing points I can further unlock for it?

slender elm
#

Yes

#

Man, I keep running into gunner squads and returning fire with my las pistol then getting shot to pieces

#

I feel like ghost is not the blessing I need, rather I should play safer

arctic ridge
# slender elm Yes

are Blessing Points refundable, or is it just 'click everything, everything will be unlocked'?

slender elm
#

Everything unlocks at 20

dry cloak
slender elm
#

But you can prioritise

dry cloak
#

After getting to lvl 20

arctic ridge
dry cloak
#

There counter to left of the blessings that say which lvl you can unlock

#

You can have lvl 4 blessing with some not taken at all

arctic ridge
#

& weapon masteries, aren't mark-model specific, it's only gun type specific?

slender elm
#

You have to spend enough points to get to certain blessing levels but you can max out a few that you want around 15

dry cloak
arctic ridge
slender elm
#

Mastery

arctic ridge
# slender elm Mastery

& that's weapon mastery? Trust level being, character level? if I'm understanding the game correctly.

slender elm
#

Each mark is unlocked at certain mastery levels

#

Yes, trust is character level

arctic ridge
#

noted

#

oh, the I-IVs are different degrees per blessing type.

dry cloak
#

Yep

arctic ridge
#

From the pinned steam guide, what does 'tier 0' 'tier 1' blessing mean?

#

IV?

dry cloak
#

Look at it later

#

Experience the game first

#

What ever you do until you unlock auric is gonna work

#

Have fun

arctic ridge
dry cloak
#

5th dificulty

arctic ridge
#

k

slender elm
#

Tier 0 means mandatory because core

keen wharf
#

i never would have thought that Vet with Mk VI Heavy sword would be almost just as good as melee heavy sword psyker. ha

slender elm
#

Vet with a high cleave melee is very strong

mystic pilot
keen wharf
#

yeah but the fact i somehow hit 8k with heavy sword on no idea what is kinda hilarious since i wasnt using headtaker, i was using bladed momentum/perfect strike. cataaaaaaa

arctic ridge
mystic pilot
#

dont change your blessings until you can unlock the 4th rank for them so you get the maximum bonus

slender elm
#

Try to max headhunter ye

mystic pilot
#

the points you put into the blessing

slender elm
#

That's the primary blessing for headshot guns

mystic pilot
#

in your mastery tree

#

4th is the maximum bonus

arctic ridge
slender elm
#

The one with the roman numbers

mystic pilot
#

press I

#

click on Masteries

#

click on your gun

#

and that's your weapon mastery where all blessings for that weapon are in

#

you unlock them so you can add any of them to your weapon

#

20% is the maximum rank

arctic ridge
#

so far I'm seeing -- the windows whose icons I unlocked, they all have I-IV each.

arctic ridge
mystic pilot
#

and you have to put points into them

arctic ridge
arctic ridge
mystic pilot
#

you still have to put points in them

#

and you get points by using your weapon in matches to level your weapon's mastery level

arctic ridge
#

or better wait till the rest of windows are unlocked, or max gun mastery?

charred halo
#

is plasma better with exe stance or shout

mystic pilot
slender elm
mystic pilot
#

maxed out

mystic pilot
#

thats the skull thingy

mystic pilot
#

so you have to put points into other blessings to unlock the next rank for all of them

arctic ridge
mystic pilot
#

also leveling up the mastery improve the perks you can put on your weapon

#

the diamonds

#

my lasgun

arctic ridge
#

gotcha

mystic pilot
#

if you dont have a lot of these

#

you would want to wait until you get maximum ranks unlocked before refining your weapon's perks and blessings

#

it take quite a bit to empower the weapon to 500 lvl

#

at least its easier to do perks and blessings first

arctic ridge
mystic pilot
#

you get those from the contracts you fufil

#

this guy

arctic ridge
mystic pilot
#

the currency is for the items he carry.

arctic ridge
mystic pilot
#

he has limit time acquisitions, all of the weapons/curio there are at 500lvl

#

the catch is

#

their stats are not always "perfect", all 80s and dump stat 60 is a very rare finding on them

mystic pilot
#

something like this? might as well get it

#

its only "1%" in each of those

arctic ridge
#

noted

mystic pilot
#

I dont need to get that as I already got one with a perfect stat I got from the regular shop

#

but that maxed out level is tempting 😛

arctic ridge
# mystic pilot

there's the option to consecrate this to orange trascendent?

slender elm
#

Ye

mystic pilot
#

@arctic ridge
Consecrate is the "color ranking" it add in the perk and blessing slots

#

Empower is the one that increase the level (increasing the stats up to the maximum on right bracket)

#

Refine change the perks

#

Re-Bless change the blessings

arctic ridge
mystic pilot
#

no

#

sacrfice weapons is the one you throw your extra weapons away, in return

#

you get xp added to a mastery you pick

#

Refine and RE-Bless only cost gold dockets

#

Consecrate require plastinium and diamondsomething (I forgot) which you get in matches by looking for drops

mystic pilot
#

Empower require all three

#

thank you magister

arctic ridge
arctic ridge
mystic pilot
#

empowering is raising your own weapon, not mastery, level

#

this is the individual weapon's level

arctic ridge
dry cloak
mystic pilot
#

it influence your weapon's stats

dry cloak
#

there are guides in game for that

mystic pilot
arctic ridge
mystic pilot
#

that's how the level influence the stats

#

if I got my lasgun to 500, the stats will be maxed out to 80s (and 60 for mobility)

arctic ridge
mystic pilot
#

each empowering is +10 level added

arctic ridge
mystic pilot
#

so another way beside keeping an eye out for the "perfect" stat layout is getting the level as high as possible so it take less attempts to reach 500

#

when purchasing the weapon

#

210 lv weapon take a while to get to 500 compared to one at 380 lvl

#

between 350-380lvl show up in the shop for me

mystic pilot
#

Armoury Exchange

#

check out the pinned guide for the builds. it'll save you time

arctic ridge
#

Will be going through the guide when I have a long sit-down window for it.

mystic pilot
#

when checking Armoury Exchange, first check the timer on it (exchange change every hour or so). Then just look for all 80s and 60. Then crosscheck with the guide's listed dump stats for weapons.

#

PLasma Gun is hard to find a perfect stat for. So you just look for one with Thermal as dump stat

arctic ridge
arctic ridge
hollow ibex
#

@tired egret

arctic ridge
#

Ah, so both stats then.

slender elm
#

Lul

hollow ibex
#

dump thermal like hurlbut said

arctic ridge
#

right

hollow ibex
#

i spent 2.5m dockets

#

and best i ended up with was 70/70 lol

#

for a gun that i use maybe 5 times a year

#

so i stopped rolling

thorny gorge
#

back after a long break, nice to see the no keystone recon build still works

hollow ibex
#

it works but keystoneless isn't really ideal anymore

#

since all the keystones got buffed

thorny gorge
#

not for the recon brittle build

#

keystones still suck for it

#

i can get rending now with the tree changes

hollow ibex
#

recon brittleness build also isn't very good

thorny gorge
#

i mean, its working in havoc

#

but scum is definitely the better DoT class

mystic pilot
hollow ibex
#

if you're good enough, a loto f things work in havoc

#

doesn't mean the setup is good tho

thorny gorge
#

carapace and flak still melt

hollow ibex
#

onslaught recon is a shadow of its former self

#

due to crusher buffs

#

not that its former self was even that strong to begin with

thorny gorge
#

but it still fun for me tho lol

hollow ibex
#

yeah as long as it's fun for you and it works

thorny gorge
#

3 second kill time has double to about 6

hollow ibex
#

i personally see way too many newb vets

#

that do nothing but spray recon las

#

and end up bottom of the scoreboard

thorny gorge
#

not sure how

#

probably not build the crit right

hollow ibex
#

it's just a low skill floor, low skill ceiling gun

#

very easy to use, but limited damage potential

mystic pilot
#

I cant wait to put away the recon las after I finish out its mastery

hollow ibex
#

also recon las is pretty bad against hordes outside of certain niche builds

#

so spraying into hordes like some vet shitters do

#

is incredibly inefficient

thorny gorge
#

if im sitting above 50% im dumping into the horde

hollow ibex
#

ok man

thorny gorge
#

judge how ever you want :p

#

but it works for me and thats that

turbid ibex
#

How do you use recon las on vet then?

hollow ibex
#

he already said

#

spraying into hordes

#

and crushers

hollow ibex
#

i do feel like

#

if you want to play that way

#

just play HIV

turbid ibex
#

Ok but what is the right way to use it

hollow ibex
#

pairing it with your melee

#

and using the gun for things you can't kill immediately

#

you know, since the gun is in the secondary weapon slot?

turbid ibex
#

So basically just shooting specialists and elites like 95% of other guns

hollow ibex
#

yes, not exactly novel

#

the main thing is meleeing hordes and crushers

turbid ibex
#

Man i wish refining curios didnt need fucking diamantine

hollow ibex
#

curio system is so ass

thorny gorge
#

makes sure you have shock trooper, onslaught, and reciprocity

#

that should get you to around 80 - 100% crit rate

#

and when you are really only shooting when you have high crit, shock troop will keep your ammo from disappearing

hollow ibex
#

the pinned guide covers blessings

thorny gorge
#

ik

dry cloak
#

its not headhunter is dumdum

thorny gorge
#

try headhunter

hollow ibex
dry cloak
#

very well

thorny gorge
#

i play it like how Reginald plays it

#

best melee is probably powersword or dueling but i like the knife

hollow ibex
#

does reginald really play recon las that way lol

thorny gorge
#

those are the blessings he recommends for the recon

#

tree is outdated tho

#

hp buffs doesnt mean the build is dead

hollow ibex
#

always thought he was questionable

#

but this is... yikes

thorny gorge
#

ok

hollow ibex
#

ig at least he's running WS

#

jfc

dry cloak
#

reginald is knowledgeable

thorny gorge
#

you dont like recon cuz bad players do bad with it

hollow ibex
#

no

#

i don't like recon las because it's boring

#

not because of the players

dry cloak
#

like recon is fun

thorny gorge
#

you said it was bad

hollow ibex
#

i don't blame the gun for how the players use it

thorny gorge
hollow ibex
#

which doesn't mean it's bad

thorny gorge
#

its a got a higher skill ceiling then you think

hollow ibex
#

from not understanding middle school scientific method for testing

silver patrol
#

me when i aim and shoot and apparently that's high skill ceiling

hollow ibex
#

to thinking that 1k dps against crushers is good

#

yikes

thorny gorge
#

to think i only get 1k

hollow ibex
#

yeah

thorny gorge
#

cope

hollow ibex
#

that's pretty pathetic

thorny gorge
#

nah

#

its cope

dry cloak
hollow ibex
thorny gorge
hollow ibex
#

i mean mr. e is the dude

#

selling ilas assail psyker build

#

as part of his paid youtube membership

thorny gorge
#

i think ima just mute you

hollow ibex
#

sure

#

because you can't handle the truth

#

easier to avert your eyes from it

calm shard
hollow ibex
#

oh no

calm shard
#

Mk XIV recon lasgun can run deadshot and that's a fun time tho

hollow ibex
#

he's going to have to block you too

calm shard
#

infinite ammo, cleave, can shoot everything short of crushers

#

forever

hollow ibex
#

ok but can't shoot crushers

#

literally trash

calm shard
#

gun scum without being gun scum basically

#

(except you have range and your wallhacks have longer than 15 meters of range)

#

and also you have actual melee damage and a real answer to crushers lmaooooooooooo

hollow ibex
#

tickling crushers at 1k dps is a real answer

dim oasis
#

Can the Power Falchion preform in Auric mael ?

hollow ibex
#

yeah

dim oasis
#

Dump stat / blessings?

turbid ibex
#

Check pinned guide

pearl oasis
#

Is Grenade Twinkerer worth?

calm shard
#

mandatory for kraks in havoc

#

really good for the other two

#

not mandatory for either if you don't want it tho

young holly
#

would vet be good with a flamer?

calm shard
#

no

#

it'd be outclassed by the double barrel in every way imaginable

young holly
#

can i atleast still have it when im goofing off or som

arctic ridge
#

Is it more effective to separate 'dodge' buttonkey from the 'jump' buttonkey instead of the game's default of having them both together? (spacebar)

silver patrol
#

i don't have any problems together

#

but i also use a mod to avoid jumping when dodging

narrow frost
pearl oasis
#

in general is it more useful to run Carapace or Flak on melee perks?

calm shard
#

depends on the weapon

pearl oasis
#

Pword

narrow frost
#

Jumping removes all of your dodge frames and be accidently pressed when you run out of dodges since jump and dodge are on the same key

calm shard
#

carapace unyielding

arctic ridge
pearl oasis
#

Also, what is unyielding define enemy wise?

arctic ridge
calm shard
pearl oasis
#

neat

silver patrol
narrow frost

For jump

I forget that my stims are bound to alt

I just rebound jump to c

yeah that's why i suggest getting the mod to avoid that

No need more mods

Just rebind it

or keep it and get the mod

Either works

#

is there a point to the survivalist aura? 1% of your ammo with a 5 second cooldown seems pitiful

hexed arch
#

surgical is pointless for any auto gun right?

serene bough
hollow ibex
serene bough
#

prob doesnt matter for lower difficulties but higher up its borderline mandatory

hexed arch
#

i run a hellbore and i also have the full auto mod, so between charged shots i get like 1 stack of surgical, i think the perk that gives 50% weakspot cleave would work better

orchid hemlock
#

This is because regardless of the difficulty, there will always be a finite amount of resources on the map, which means the longer the mission takes to complete and the harder it is to kill things, the more ammo you will need to use

dclaw is best for horde clearing

taxe has a better cool factor over dclaw

because.... HACKING THEM ALL!

hot thorn
#

Why are the event missions on damnation difficulty on par with havoc missions

#

like the spawn rates are amped up insanely

#

fuck the pox gas and drugs

#

why do i have 6 bosses and 2 demonhosts per run?!

#

not the mention the endless horde

orchid hemlock
#

What's the problem?

hot thorn
#

problem is that people queueing up for damnation aren't set up to do havoc difficulty missions

#

and bloody die!

orchid hemlock
#

Skill diff

Just carry

hot thorn
#

cant do much if all your team is dead

#

or behind

orchid hemlock
#

Unless it's high Havoc level hard it's not the end of the world to solo cary damnations

hot thorn
#

that's the point

orchid hemlock
#

Auric is just higher spawn rates

Damnation, stat wise is the same

#

If the event is too hard just lower the difficulty

#

Shrimple as

drowsy perch
#

got 3 captains, 2 chaos spawns, and a plague ogryn, all at the start of one of the missions

orchid hemlock
#

I personally want something harder than auric Maels in my events

Gives me something to push for whatthefuck_heresy

drowsy perch
#

frankly im fine with everything EXCEPT tox gas

#

i hated it when i started havoc and i hate it even more now

#

sick of tox gas

#

(as one should be)

hollow ibex
#

i lag so much on the event missions

orchid hemlock
distant plaza
#

dumb q, does the event count as progress towards the pox gas penance?

orchid hemlock
#

Especially health stimms

distant plaza
mystic pilot
drowsy perch
#

and the tox gas resistance if you take 10 stims

#
  • buffs in tox gas
#

which is fun but

#

it still drains toughness

"throw more bodies, especially tougher ones, and more hordes at the players"

it cost them less than developing new enemies or smarter ones

I think the guide has a good starting tree

But the best melee by far ATM is power sword

stiff coral
#

This "guide" looks very out of date

orchid hemlock
#

Which one?

stiff coral
#

oh nvm this is just a list of everything

orchid hemlock
#

The first one on the pins was made just a couple months ago

stiff coral
#

not what I'm actually after lol

orchid hemlock
#

Has example builds

stiff coral
#

Oh on the main one

#

I see now

stiff coral
#

Never used it before

orchid hemlock
#

Should explain it in the guide

But it's just something you manage by releasing the heat with the alt attack

steep pier
#

You can use special to vent slowly or reload for full vent
And 100% charge being shot will explode you

#

Also plasma gun shoots through bulwark shield

stiff coral

mmm

just not doing anything let it cool down "slowly"

The one from a few months ago idk if it was just a rework or completely new one in general I’ve been on and off the game for a year and a half lol got burnt out after 1500 hours on console

mystic pilot
#

Yeah, check the pinned guide. Its very current

astral breach
#

So I haven’t kept in the loop for all the changes

#

And rotten armor certainly has not helped

Fatshark have featured it on their launcher

The 5k crusher health update...

tall torrent
last marten
wild vortex
#

it shuts down cleave, making clearing much more time consuming. It shuts down a lot of ranged options barring very few, which then become meta. It makes dodging harder too iirc if they pen you in? Not sure

hollow ibex
#

i think crushers are fine

#

outside of havoc

#

can't speak to havoc

wild vortex
dry cloak
#

Like crusher singular should be a wall of armour that you need to deal with

#

But it cant be killed by 2 hits of some flimsy saber

hollow ibex
#

there's a lot of ways to skin carapace cats

wild vortex
#

pre carapace HP buff and generally increased prevalence of carapace, you could legitimately take PBB stubbers or rippers or mk4 knife into aurics and enjoy yourself. Now? You can (in the most technical sense) but it's just a massive pain in the ass.

cunning sandal
#

something something Ogryn has a problem with their melees (excluding Pick Axes) being the equivalent of pool noodles

#

and being hyper reliant on left side nodes

wild vortex
#

but even otherwise I don't think carapace walls are an enjoyable solution

cunning sandal
#

Hypothetically, if I could take Ogryn weapons on human classes, I just

#

wouldn't

#

ever

dry cloak
#

Ergo buff psyker

wild vortex
#

at this point Ogryn doesn't have "weapons", we have pickaxes, a club, a rumbler, a ripper and a heavy stubber. GG and Paul if you're feeling a little daring.

wild vortex
dry cloak
#

Like i think that ogryn should be decent at dealing with armour no matter the weapon because they are a ogryn.

wild vortex
#

woe, mk3 knife be upon ye

auric was unplayable for months

until arbi came out

#

every match a rumblergryn shit

dry cloak
#

Like

cunning sandal
#

Crusher TTK with a right side Ogryn build using the Mk IV Cleaver is pitiful.

dry cloak
#

If there wasnt a groups of crushers

#

But 1-3 in a spawn it is fine

cunning sandal
#

Ogryn has too many left side damage amps and weak inherent weapons.

dry cloak
#

If theres more its not

#

Simple as

cunning sandal
#

Right side Ogryn is reliant on PBB

slender elm
#

Right side build is pitiful in general

cunning sandal
#

and then weak whenever it's down

wild vortex
#

like genuinely

dry cloak
hollow ibex
#

that's the entire build

#

it's shit design

cunning sandal
hollow ibex
wild vortex
#

it's really not that great now

#

like it's alright

#

I did good damage

hollow ibex
#

i don't see why it'd be materially weaker

wild vortex
hollow ibex
#

scab hp buffs wouldn't impact rumbler that much

wild vortex
#

one of the big things it had going for it was the explosion burn DOT + interaction with Shrimpact

#

that's substantially worse now because the mob HP is higher

hollow ibex
#

i'll take your word for it, i refuse to play rumblergryn

wild vortex
#

I probably also suffered a bit extra because event missions seem scarce on ammo anyway

dry cloak
#

I use rumbler as mass stagger device

wild vortex
#

it's fine for that purpose

dry cloak
#

Or trash horde removal

wild vortex
#

and for just piling shrimpact before engaging

#

but PBB is just no longer worth bothering with IMO

#

on any weapon

dry cloak
#

i downgraded from auric to damnation. Depending on the team its fun to run it

#

Pbb i mean

wild vortex
#

I might try one more pbb game tomorrow with mk6 ripper

#

Doubt it'll be worth it

livid sphinx
#

Ngl I dont think there's anything that can solve the carapace problem

dry cloak
#

The good ol double dot

cunning sandal
desert viper
#

before the enemy hp increases his melees felt very satisfying and strong, but still manage to mock that sluggish feel

#

after the enemy hp increases, I cry if I see 3 crushers at once

#

and I'm on something outside of pickaxe

wild vortex
#

Eh 3b and mk3 shovel are alright, Paul is also ok

#

But they REALLY need all the left side buffs

#

Pickaxes can work without

tall torrent
#

og melee is balanced entirely around u having left/middle for maximized melee output

wild vortex
#

I just want my fav class to get some love Sitgryn

slender elm
#

Same

#

They need to buff right side and up base damage on oggy guns

#

Otherwise only rumbler is worth using

wild vortex
#

All the melees other than picks and clubs legitimately need reworks

#

Hell, even the clubs could use some touch ups

tall torrent
#

even pickaxe

#

tho I think for pickaxe it prob should come in the form of new/buffed talents or blessing change

austere mica
#

ANOTHER 10 BILLION TO PSYKER!!!!!

wild vortex
tall torrent
#

pickaxe would benefit a lot from another 10% reliable atk speed bonus

#

og weapons generally can be a bit faster

wild vortex
#

The fact that there's so much overlap between Arbi and Ogryn except Arbi has a better arsenal and better tree...

tall torrent
#

I also think swift slaying would make a really good addition to og tree

hollow ibex
#

another clip to add to the DB propaganda pile

tall torrent
#

+20% melee atk speed for 6s after landing a crit melee hit
doesn't sound so busted given og's base crit chance is 2.5% and u NEED massacre to even get remote consistency for it

wild vortex
#

It made stealth fun

hollow ibex
#

it's the only way i've been able to make stealth enjoyable lol

wild vortex
#

Played it earlier today, forgot to take screenshot but I topped damage overall

#

It's so good

#

Just makes mixed hordes a complete non issue for your team

hollow ibex
#

yeah

#

turns out infinite cleave + dots is kinda really powerful

#

who would've thunk

static crypt
#

#

#

it's never been more joever

hexed arch
#

so i have a problem

#

i'm trying to do executioner helbore veteran, and i'm already pretty good at the executioner part, taking down specialists and elites consistently, but since helbore isn't a good close range option i'm looking for a good overall melee, other than t-axe

drowsy perch
#

which the gun can take care of

hexed arch
#

i did just complete my best dclaw roll

#

what do you think?

drowsy perch
#

i run it with cleave on multihit and cleave on single hit

#

w tho

hexed arch
#

idk i think it's a good combo for hordes

#

w for win or why?

drowsy perch
#

win

hexed arch
#

oh thanks

drowsy perch
#

yea

hexed arch
#

so you wouldn't change anything?

drowsy perch
#

i use dclaw on my revolver vet

#

not imo

hexed arch
#

meh revolver isn't for me

#

i tried

#

very much prefer the bolt and las pistols

drowsy perch
#

im really good at flicking and my revolver set oneshots basically everything but mauler and crushers in auric/havoc

#

feels so good

hexed arch
#

you can flick the bolt pistol too

drowsy perch
#

yea i had been running it originally

#

on my zealot anyways

hexed arch
#

i've been using it for a while

#

but helbore is better for taking down specialists quickly

#

and from a distance

drowsy perch
#

yea

#

i tried helbore but i hate charge ups/delays to shoot

hexed arch
#

who doesn't

drowsy perch
#

and also no scope tbh

#

i wish it had one

#

maybe a mk variant or something but probably never

calm shard
hexed arch
#

the concept of a scope in darktide seems redundant

weapon customization mod adds a few and they're a neat novelty

but like

#

yeah they kinda suck

pseudo fiber
hexed arch
#

i'm tired of the helbore

#

i want to be a quick and efficient and switch weapons constantly, i'll keep executioner but switch to melee specialist

#

and also bolt pistol

slow spade
#

Longlas with the sniper's piercing pls UwU

calm shard
#

I think the las weapon family already has every reasonable archetype of gun in it

#

Doesn't have a braced autogun equivalent tho

#

So I could see hellgun being something along those lines

#

But what would longlas actually do gameplay wise

pseudo fiber
calm shard
#

I'm not concerned about it being a sniper rifle I'm more concerned about "How do you make this not just Helbore 2"

pseudo fiber
#

The scab gunner is holding one

#

But there are a few "shitty lasguns" in lore

tame granite
#

need me a bolt action las gun

#

why does it work that way? don't care

calm shard
#

that's what the fucking helbore is man

#

it being more powerful but slower firing is literally meant to mimic it being a bolt action rifle because the kriegers are WW1 themed

pseudo fiber
#

Cycling a round is cooler

calm shard
#

it's a laser

steep flower
heavy rover
#

Can you imagine a longlas with 15 stacks of marksman focus

pseudo fiber
#

It can do what a helbore can do but slower!

#

I want a scab gunner batterypack and 3000 rpm

We already have knife 2 (and 3) and infantry autogun 2

So why not helbore 2
