Infantry is alright
Literally nothing changed except for vigilants in the last year
i forgor
can confirm, tried so much to make this garbos work
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
and all the brautos have less impact than a peestol
ufff i loved used vraks
obesefisht hates brautos
Pretty sure brautos have actually a lot of impact
nowhere as much as Shredder
Still staggers scab ragers irrc
what about columnus
takes a lot of shots
kinda meh on the dps department, but easy to control
brauto on scum's prob the strongest brauto
power falchion when they added that
(still not very good)
Like 5 months ago
is it good tho?
it's got its niche
Hard to remember because it didn't exactly leave an impression
but it's mid
ah ok
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
We all wish it was better
It’s only 8-10 buffs away from being good
its looks cool
"only"
Owned
Ye
I count diff aspects of buffs as different buffs
what are the buffs
It’d be rly cool if their push attacks were heavy attack profile
what would that mean
rager stagger?
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)
Push atk energized can break rager combo
i see
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
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
Tried using the plasma gun
congrats
Big drawback is the firing speed
it fires pretty fast if youre not charging (which you shouldnt do anyways)
i severely dislike that from the gun, charging it should feel rewarding but m1 spam is so busted that is detrimental to use
True, to make m2 worth it, its aoe should be 5m in radious with projectile damage and no falloff
make it one shot everything even bosses 
So true
But yeah if they nerf m1, the gun is dead imo, so they should make m2 do something instead
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.
noe
as per pinned guide, confirmed by the author himself (Guide WIP)
making each pellet count as a separate hit/attack would def have some domino effect
could be funny tbh
should i make a bolt pistol build
damn why lol
:3 ive been using the plasma gun, holy peak
but i still HAVENT GOTTEN toughness curious 🥲
grenade bistol build with focus target
Eh
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.
MMF bistol 
it's so beautiful
wow
ah ok thanks
one day i will have three 17% toughness curios on ONE character
the secret sauce
This mod is amazing, although it does break my heart everytime I get godrolls for characters that aren't ones I need them for
My Scum has more 21% HP curios than my zealot lol
does anyone have a fun exec stance bolter build
Ain't no way vet hits up to 8k with heavy sword. 
500 hours in game and I have one 17% toughness curio
But I guess if I try to farm I can get more
Do you use you Melkbux to roll curios:?
what is melkbux
yeah then
If you go to Melk and select mystery acquisitions you can choose "Defensive Curio"
the la are almost always bad
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
i like it
No. I'd rather keep them for weapons. What I like to do sometimes is to use 'bonus chance to get curious as a mission reward' x3 and just run easy damnation missions.
For weapons, you just get them from Brunt's Armoury
use your Melk currency for curios only
Hopefully this doesn't come off rude
so with weapons what you want to do
the LAs are almost always awful
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
You need to level them up. I'm always short on steel
and thats true it is way easier to roll weapons in armory
if short on steel, easiest way to get more is higher difficulty, completing a weekly Havoc, or a Damnation+ Mortis trial
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
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.
which weapon?
it depends
Am complete new player, so, just whatever is effective in the longrun enroute to max difficulty.
well thats subjective haha
From what I seen so far -- not just different gun types, but even different mark models with perks.
do you use lasguns or what are you interested in
Have no preference right now.
Still the default gun --
most people will say that gun is bad but its acctually my favorite
Just talent points, since the tree is refundable.
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
TIL
is mainly a weapon with the dump stat you want whcih 9/10 times is
mobility
except for the las pistol then stability
Yea, he explained that to me, 'general dump stat is 60 mobility'
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
Still the sapper shovel. Mark VII anointed.
and they are interchangable
good news
thats the good mk haha
alrighty.
shovel dump def. k
inflas?
infantry lasgun
ah
yes sir
that too
which channel is that?
this channel
k
the pinned section
📌
am currently at the store now, just wondering if some 60 dump mobility guns are worth getting now.
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
Vigilant Autogun agripinaa Mk IX green redeemed
infantry lasgun Kantrael Mk IIb blue anointed
recon lasgun accatran Mk VLc gray profane
what are the dump stats?
all 60 mobility.
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
& helbore is a gun that can rotate in? or is it an earned item?
it can rotate in when you unlock it
yea, I'm only casual, with my family.
that one is good too but reliant on your aim
gotcha.
well then either lasgun is a good choice
gotcha
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
Quick question, can you sum how to make curios to orange & slot 3 perks?
yes by consecrating them
My younger brother shown me, but that awhile ago.
what trust level are you
from base profane, or doesn't matter?
any rarity
check the pinned guide
18
oh, right i have to go to a place on the ship
ty
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
thanks for the current invite, but i'll take it up when i have a gaming window. i just played earlier with a cousin of mine to close the night, & am just in the shop rotation after of matched.
nonetheless appreciated.
for sure man
why are there so many prison pants cosmetics but basically 0 prison tops
where matching set
Palettes can have contrast and all that. I guess in the case of the prison cosmetics, it's just that maybe: being an inmate.
just did combat blade + shredder pistol + infiltrate + weapons specialist and its fucking insane
its like playing a mosqutio that can also easily kill them
even for damnation and up?
ill try the assault chainsword again
yeah devils claw is what i use on my auric/havoc too
when im sniper anyways
gun can do everything that isnt horde
shredder auto?
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?
either way is good
Whatever works on havoc usually works outside, might be abit overkill in some ways though.
well i try to snipe with a helbore so idk how much bonus health will help me
you cant avoid getting bapped in the head by some random poxer while you shoot, forever
and other times you need to melee
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?
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
are Blessing Points refundable, or is it just 'click everything, everything will be unlocked'?
Everything unlocks at 20
You get all blessing on each weapon
But you can prioritise
After getting to lvl 20
Priortise?
As I -- I don't have to unlock in numerical order?
No
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
& weapon masteries, aren't mark-model specific, it's only gun type specific?
alright
You have to spend enough points to get to certain blessing levels but you can max out a few that you want around 15
Its weapon family specific. Then you can change between the marks after certain lvl of mastery achieved
15 blessing points, or 15 mastery?
which number would that be?
Mastery
& that's weapon mastery? Trust level being, character level? if I'm understanding the game correctly.
Yep
Look at it later
Experience the game first
What ever you do until you unlock auric is gonna work
Have fun
unlock auric?
5th dificulty
k
Tier 0 means mandatory because core
i never would have thought that Vet with Mk VI Heavy sword would be almost just as good as melee heavy sword psyker. 
Vet with a high cleave melee is very strong
Tier 0 "Absolutely must get"
1 "Pretty good, but not as mandatory"
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. 
So, from the pinned guide, 'Headhunter' is a tier 0 blessing for the Infantry Lasgun mastery.
Would it be favourable now, to get all 4 degrees of Headhunter? Or spend some on Tier 1 'Ghost' & 'Deadly Accurate'?
dont change your blessings until you can unlock the 4th rank for them so you get the maximum bonus
Try to max headhunter ye
4th rank?
the points you put into the blessing
That's the primary blessing for headshot guns
is that the bar on the bottom of the church windows, within the Blessings Menu?
The one with the roman numbers
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
Penance progression bar
so far I'm seeing -- the windows whose icons I unlocked, they all have I-IV each.
ah
and you have to put points into them
ohhh, the skull windows I'm yet to open up icons for.
So the blessings windows-icons I opened up so far, they each have I-IV.
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
yea. so, favouable now to max, say 'Headhunter IV' for Infantry Lasgun mastery?
or better wait till the rest of windows are unlocked, or max gun mastery?
is plasma better with exe stance or shout
Preference but exe stance highlights nice
maxed out
you have to spend an amount of points to unlock the next tier of rank.
thats the skull thingy
ah
k
so you have to put points into other blessings to unlock the next rank for all of them
ohh, that skull lights up in a circle.
also leveling up the mastery improve the perks you can put on your weapon
the diamonds
my lasgun
gotcha
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
what's that 2nd line?
yea, much as I'm interested in Darktide, I'm casual in the sense that, I game with my family, til my computer gets a generation upgrade.
the currency is for the items he carry.
Yeah, that's what I'll be next playing to unlock.
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
ahh gotcha
noted
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 😛
there's the option to consecrate this to orange trascendent?
Ye
@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
ahh
This involves breaking/surrending gun?
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
plasteel and diamantine
aahhh ok
So empowering a weapon is different from weapon mastery. There a set number of times for weapon empowerment?
empowering is raising your own weapon, not mastery, level
this is the individual weapon's level
Ah, so that's what it is.
im certain you didnt read a damn of texts game gave you
it influence your weapon's stats
there are guides in game for that
It's a lot to read, I haven't yet a full window to sit down for it. So far, am cross-checking with the shop's available weapons.
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)
I mean -- do you have to empower the weapon, say, 200 times, to get to 500? Or is 1 empowerment, for example a +10 increment?
each empowering is +10 level added
noted.
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
gotcha
yae, that's what I've been managing so far -- ctrl-F crosschecking with shop guns, & the Veteran talent tree.
Will be going through the guide when I have a long sit-down window for it.
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
yea, that's what I've been doing
The guide also mentions '71% charge rate'?
Is it both stats, or an either/or for plasma gun shopping?
@tired egret
Ah, so both stats then.
Lul
yeah but if you're poor
dump thermal like hurlbut said
right
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
it works but keystoneless isn't really ideal anymore
since all the keystones got buffed
not for the recon brittle build
keystones still suck for it
i can get rending now with the tree changes
recon brittleness build also isn't very good
its really hard to find
if you're good enough, a loto f things work in havoc
doesn't mean the setup is good tho
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
but it still fun for me tho lol
yeah as long as it's fun for you and it works
3 second kill time has double to about 6
i personally see way too many newb vets
that do nothing but spray recon las
and end up bottom of the scoreboard
it's just a low skill floor, low skill ceiling gun
very easy to use, but limited damage potential
I cant wait to put away the recon las after I finish out its mastery
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
if im sitting above 50% im dumping into the horde
How do you use recon las on vet then?
Ok but what is the right way to use it
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?
So basically just shooting specialists and elites like 95% of other guns
Man i wish refining curios didnt need fucking diamantine
curio system is so ass
headhunter infernus
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
the pinned guide covers blessings
its not headhunter is dumdum
try headhunter
he plays it differently from the meta
very well
i play it like how Reginald plays it
best melee is probably powersword or dueling but i like the knife
does reginald really play recon las that way lol
I shoulda done another music video...imagine the technicolor rave party. Anyway - Accatran lasgun + vet = dead whatever you want. Have fun slaying heretics responsibly. This thumbnail is so cursed.

those are the blessings he recommends for the recon
tree is outdated tho
hp buffs doesnt mean the build is dead
reginald is knowledgeable
you dont like recon cuz bad players do bad with it
like recon is fun
you said it was bad
i don't blame the gun for how the players use it

i said it was a low skill floor, low skill ceiling gun
which doesn't mean it's bad
its a got a higher skill ceiling then you think
the more i see his stuff, the more questionable i find him to be
from not understanding middle school scientific method for testing
me when i aim and shoot and apparently that's high skill ceiling
yeah
cope
that's pretty pathetic
he is still gonna much better source than e and t-man simple because he is a playtester
if the bar is at mr. e, anything flies 

i mean mr. e is the dude
selling ilas assail psyker build
as part of his paid youtube membership
kinda mid
oh no
Mk XIV recon lasgun can run deadshot and that's a fun time tho
he's going to have to block you too
but then you can't run onslaught
and that ruins it
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
Can the Power Falchion preform in Auric mael ?
yeah
Dump stat / blessings?
Check pinned guide
Is Grenade Twinkerer worth?
mandatory for kraks in havoc
really good for the other two
not mandatory for either if you don't want it tho
would vet be good with a flamer?
can i atleast still have it when im goofing off or som
Is it more effective to separate 'dodge' buttonkey from the 'jump' buttonkey instead of the game's default of having them both together? (spacebar)
i don't have any problems together
but i also use a mod to avoid jumping when dodging
Yes, it's good to put jump on a far away key
in general is it more useful to run Carapace or Flak on melee perks?
depends on the weapon
Pword
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
carapace unyielding
Any keyboard suggestions?
Also, what is unyielding define enemy wise?
So preferable then to break the key apart then.
Bulwarks, all bosses except for traitor captains/twins, and Reapers
neat
but if you try to dodge while out of dodge you still dodge
But people panic dodge and hit dodge too fast and jump with the default settings
It's the 1st sign of a new player
Bunny hopping
yeah that's why i suggest getting the mod to avoid that
or keep it and get the mod
Either works
if I change jump from space my dumb ass will forget what button I put it on and not be able to vault shit
Rebind dodge instead 5head
5head?
where did u get the download link
what perks and blessings should i put on the dc, it's a weapon specialist build
shred rampage for blessings, perks look good
its in the pinned guide
thanks
Just broke through 10 million Ordo Dockets
I wish we had some sort of item shop to exchange them at
Kimty
is there a point to the survivalist aura? 1% of your ammo with a 5 second cooldown seems pitiful
surgical is pointless for any auto gun right?
its the most important aura in the entire game
good on vigils
prob doesnt matter for lower difficulties but higher up its borderline mandatory
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
Out of all of the Vet auras it's generally the best in higher difficulties
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
by far veteran's best aura since it allows the entire team to just use their guns more often
pew pew
I the five second cooldown separate per person, or universal?
seperate per person iirc
universal
when it activates, everyone in coherency with veteran (including veteran themselves) get the benefit
I’m asking about the cooldown
yes, it's 1 singular cooldown that's either on/off
not per-player
It’s one of the best auras in the game
It’s not mandatory but it is incredibly good
Now i have all the classes at 30
compared to the other two auras not taking it at higher difficulties is silly
theres no other aura that has a greater team impact in the game
A Survivalist vet is great when I’m playing zealot because it gets me my daggers back
<@&735928989146939404> account stolen
Who was it
idk, just got their account stolen and was trying to scam
RIP guy
I see
Or was you
if my gun is a helbore what melee should i use to prevent dying
dclaw is best for horde clearing
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
Based
What's the problem?
problem is that people queueing up for damnation aren't set up to do havoc difficulty missions
and bloody die!
Skill diff
Just carry
team game
cant do much if all your team is dead
or behind

Unless it's high Havoc level hard it's not the end of the world to solo cary damnations
its not damnation level
that's the point
Auric is just higher spawn rates
Damnation, stat wise is the same
If the event is too hard just lower the difficulty
Shrimple as
yeah its psycho
got 3 captains, 2 chaos spawns, and a plague ogryn, all at the start of one of the missions
I personally want something harder than auric Maels in my events
Gives me something to push for 
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)
i lag so much on the event missions
I think they needed to add to gas, because without it
The shit ton of stimms would make it too easy to blast thru the level
dumb q, does the event count as progress towards the pox gas penance?
Especially health stimms
Yes
excellent, ty
i suppose
because BigFish think that's the only best option to "challenge" the players
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
They did make tox bomber recently
You want another 
DENY DENY DENY THISDENYTHISDENYTHISDENYTHODDENYTHIDTHIDTHIDDENYTHIIS
Looking for a late game build anyone got a good link to look at
good
means less time spent playing a tox gas mission
easily the worst modifier in the entire game
the pinned guide has a few
Late game like havoc or do you want to have fun?
at least its not another Pox Burster
scab burster
increased damage radius
explosion will also throw out a bunch of shrapnel that does high health damage
due to carapace armor
Meta & Fun
Idk if that's possible 😔
Then I'll take Meta
I think the guide has a good starting tree
But the best melee by far ATM is power sword
This "guide" looks very out of date
Which one?
oh nvm this is just a list of everything
The first one on the pins was made just a couple months ago
not what I'm actually after lol
So the heat mechanic with the plasma gun how does it work
Never used it before
Should explain it in the guide
But it's just something you manage by releasing the heat with the alt attack
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
mmm
vent faster you mean
just not doing anything let it cool down "slowly"
Oh no. Purple and stims are back
Just an FYI to all Krieg Vet enjoyers out there while this cosmetic is still in the store:
THIS torso piece allows you to craft the CLEANEST and most INSANE looking trench raider krieg set EVER
great boots too
What’s the difference between mk IV and mk VI for bolt pistol? I’ve been gone for some time so I haven’t played around with it too much
why is the one on the left looking kind of shy
it looks like he got to poop
idk thats just some chud from the store page
one is explosive with massive AOE but has less penetration and direct DMG and one less in the mag. I prefer the explosive one though for grenade vet (its jusst so much better)
One fires bolts that pierce through enemies, and the other does less damage but makes bigger explosions
pair the AOE one with a grenadier build and put staggered enemies 20% dmg blessing and the 25% explosion radius blessing and see hordes disappear from 3 shots in the middle of them @astral breach
Gotcha that’s the variant I’ve been using I figured it was an aoe difference I enjoy the aoe over the piercing
The pins don’t have a recent one for the new bolt pistol lol
Always been quicker just to ask here tbh
Theres a third now?
bro stanced up like an unc
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
Yeah, check the pinned guide. Its very current
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
I think rotten armour got rotated out
pus hardened is back though
Today? I was playing some havocs the past couple days and I think every single one had rotten except one lol
yeah, just got back from a game after the reset
Ah yeah I prefer the aoe much better usage out of the staggers
What’s a good build for the fast asf las gun
recon las?
Has there been a sale recently?
I've been getting a lot of team mates who have green titles or no titles
rookie numbers
Yeah there was, I think it was a 60-75% sale
I haven't used a single title in almost 700hrs
Obligatory titles mean nothing
though tbf I have neither ASS nor True Survivor, might have used one of them if I had
"carapace is ruining the game"
Looks inside
Shoots a crusher with the autogun
I mean, for once I'd agree with Mr. Pee
carapace walls seem to have become FS' answer to player power but it's just really tedious
The 5k crusher health update...
it's 6.5k hp auric (9.75k havoc max)

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
as an Ogryn player, I don't agree. Not because Ogryn can't kill them, but because it completely invalidates much of Ogryn's already small arsenal
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
i mean you just need ONE slot in your build that can kill crushers
there's a lot of ways to skin carapace cats
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.
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
yeah a lot of it is Ogryn issue tbf
but even otherwise I don't think carapace walls are an enjoyable solution
Hypothetically, if I could take Ogryn weapons on human classes, I just
wouldn't
ever
Ergo buff psyker
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.

Like i think that ogryn should be decent at dealing with armour no matter the weapon because they are a ogryn.
woe, mk3 knife be upon ye
Jokes on you
bounces off carapace with a squeaky sound
That's what I run
BB me fave
Bigass knife
orgryn needs to suffer

At this point even Mk IV does as well without every single melee damage node
auric was unplayable for months
until arbi came out
every match a rumblergryn shit
Like

Crusher TTK with a right side Ogryn build using the Mk IV Cleaver is pitiful.
Ogryn has too many left side damage amps and weak inherent weapons.
Right side Ogryn is reliant on PBB
Right side build is pitiful in general
and then weak whenever it's down
ykw I just played demogryn today after so many months and it's so pitifully mid now
like genuinely
ammo whore harder
A lot of weapons need a look at. As weapon families
Even if you have ammo and PBB up, you still have lower DPS than a Gun Psyker even if you exclude Scrier's Gaze

less single target damage, but you have infinite cleave so idk
i don't see why it'd be materially weaker
carapace HP buff
scab hp buffs wouldn't impact rumbler that much
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
i'll take your word for it, i refuse to play rumblergryn
I probably also suffered a bit extra because event missions seem scarce on ammo anyway
I use rumbler as mass stagger device
it's fine for that purpose
Or trash horde removal
and for just piling shrimpact before engaging
but PBB is just no longer worth bothering with IMO
on any weapon
i downgraded from auric to damnation. Depending on the team its fun to run it
Pbb i mean
Well, if they keep dying then it does matter
Ngl I dont think there's anything that can solve the carapace problem
The good ol double dot
I use Rumbler to feel gross and disappointed in myself

if I am to speak on my experience with ogryn
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
Eh 3b and mk3 shovel are alright, Paul is also ok
But they REALLY need all the left side buffs
Pickaxes can work without
og weapons need help period
og melee is balanced entirely around u having left/middle for maximized melee output
I just want my fav class to get some love 
Same
They need to buff right side and up base damage on oggy guns
Otherwise only rumbler is worth using
All the melees other than picks and clubs legitimately need reworks
Hell, even the clubs could use some touch ups
I think all of them can use some help
even pickaxe
tho I think for pickaxe it prob should come in the form of new/buffed talents or blessing change
ANOTHER 10 BILLION TO PSYKER!!!!!

pickaxe would benefit a lot from another 10% reliable atk speed bonus
og weapons generally can be a bit faster
The fact that there's so much overlap between Arbi and Ogryn except Arbi has a better arsenal and better tree...
I also think swift slaying would make a really good addition to og tree
another clip to add to the DB propaganda pile
+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
I have been REALLY enjoying your stealth bomber build
It made stealth fun
it's the only way i've been able to make stealth enjoyable lol
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
inches away from clutching it
get sicked by a silent dog
gonna kms
it's never been more joever
I think that oggies damage should come just from straight numbers instead of buffs
dogs have been super fucked since the update
no idea what they did
half the time the dog is facing away from me and them fnaf jumpscares me or i dodge it but desync thinks it got me
Pickaxe is so much fun to use
Sigmar giveth and Sigmar taketh away
If I wanted to make a Veteran shocktrooper/stormtrooper build with Catachan and Combat shotgun what would I do?
Willing to switch to one of the Axes too
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
dclaw is good for everything but armor
which the gun can take care of
win
oh thanks
yea
so you wouldn't change anything?
im really good at flicking and my revolver set oneshots basically everything but mauler and crushers in auric/havoc
feels so good
you can flick the bolt pistol too
i've been using it for a while
but helbore is better for taking down specialists quickly
and from a distance
who doesn't
and also no scope tbh
i wish it had one
maybe a mk variant or something but probably never
https://fximgur.com/a/cGAG4ZQ aura farming gun tho
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
We neeeeeed longlas tho 100%
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
Longlas with the sniper's piercing pls UwU
Yeah it'd be cool but like...what would it do?
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
Nothing I'm just more joking about people who think it should be included
Where do you use the sniper rifle tell me people who want it
I'm not concerned about it being a sniper rifle I'm more concerned about "How do you make this not just Helbore 2"
Are there any in lore? 
look sick as fuck
need me a bolt action las gun
why does it work that way? don't care
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
Cycling a round is cooler
it's a laser
*battery 
Can you imagine a longlas with 15 stacks of marksman focus
It can do what a helbore can do but slower!
You start by making the plasma gun actual blow shit up

Why not Baneblade 1?
