Drive me closer so that I may hit him with my sword
mobi
Morbi
I missed u
I missed me too 
I have been consumed by arknights
YAAAAAY
true
None of the penances
im kinda enjoying the bullshit that is stupid frag grenades from invis
mostly because bistol swapping without needing to reload is very nice
On the other hand, I can underhand throw frags without breaking stealth
Does the damage apply?
Nvm it does
What Taxe mark was good against carapace again?
none of them are particularly impressive against cara
they're ok
7 is the best mark'
Do i get this?
Never used a plasma before, it good against carapace?
What guns are good against carapace, if they even exist?
Do we not have a decent ranged anti-armor option at all?
Helbore
That it?
Hand Cannon Zarona Revolver
Needler
VAG can be pretty decent against crushers
tbh on vet
most weapons can be made to shred crushers
Needler?
HIV weapon
Needle pistol
Oh. That one.
The rule of thumb is that there's no ranged against carapace
Except Helbore because helby is just that goated
well if you go full meme and run 15 stacks mmf
Carapace having next to no counter sounds kind of busted.
a lot of things will shred carapace
there's a lot of ways to counter carapace
With a build for it, sure. But if you're not built for it, you don't have a good option, right?
you should always build to have an answer for carapace
on vet it's particularly easy
you can just take kraks
every kit should have an answer for everything the game throws against you
hordes, mixed hordes, bulwark/crusher spam, bosses, specialist removal
this isn't like a hero shooter where you're a healer or tank
everyone does everything
I suppose that's a new way of looking at things.
eh not particularly, it's always been how the game is set up, at least for as long as i've been playing it
there's more specialization in havoc with prebuilt teams
but that's an anomaly
Yeah, who plays havoc anymore? Especially with how OtT crusher spawns can be normally.
Buffing Crusher HP still feels like such a knee jerk response, especially since it really just made the things that kill them fast even more needed
Especially when they can have more effective hp than a chaos spawn (ranged weapons especially).
i love the laspistol
Some class builds dont always have answer to everything and are still strong
Like trauma and fire psyker dont rlly have answer to boss spam
God forbid they nerf psyker
many psykers forget this, but they have an entire other weapon slot that isn't their staff
i mean you can do a helbore build and never pull out your melee, shooting all game
will you still be strong? yeah
is it a good idea? no
That also conveniently has the humble dueling sword
yup
Helbore vets need horde peel
yeah good luck with that in pub matches
I saw videos of ppl using helbore vet h40 and they need people covering them always and they play with the best players
lol
yeah with coordinated teams on mics, it's obviously a different story
like i said above
Plasma vet has almost no weaknesses
plasma is bad
and also sucks against bosses
Plasma for special/rager/mauler
only quality is cleave
Psword for horde and bosses
Krak for crushers and bulwarks
If you invest in right tree it makes psword horde clear and kill armor pretty easily
What about a well squared build
How do you get one
Assuming you can be assed to power up the piece of crap.
Do everything melee in exchange for being annoying as shit to use
I'd rather use the chainsword to be honest.
Complete inverse of the PS
Good melee damage at the cost of a special that might be a hindrance if you use it at the wrong time.
Chainsword's special is what a special should be
Well itâs the strongest melee in the game
So itâs worth the effort
Correction, it's alt mode is the strongest weapon in the game. If it was the strongest weapon by default, it wouldn't be a pos when unpowered.
Either that or cleave targets isn't the dump stat and i've been lied to again...
I would much prefer it changes the moveset and enemy focus
I.e. it swaps the moveset and dmg profile to swap between AoE and single target dmg
cleave targets is the dumpstat since powered mode adds like 10 ish flat cleave on powerup
Like the crowbar?
Which⌠makes it the strongest melee in the game
Hate it all you want, doesnât change the facts
And also after using a mandatory blessing otherwise its dogshit too

Just 1 hit
You get overrun (inevitability), and you'll struggle.
Basically; only special spam weapon with 1 blessing spot
It's so boring, too.
Eh; to each their own
Nah, push
Click -slash,slash,slash- . click -slash,slash,slash-.
That, Ad infinitum.
Itâs one of the very few weapons where push needs to be part of ur combo
Idk I think it works as it is
Yeah
Psword is less boring then dueling sword what everyone uses
It's not that it's boring it's that having to spam specials is just tedious
Try pushing more
Itâs not the easiest weapon to use
And I understand why people hate it
Also fucks with muscle memory for other weapons
At least it does for me with relic blade
Idk I never have that issue
It hasnât bothered me personally either
But muscle memory prob varies from person to person
Theres a way to make special take less longer
But I need to learn to do it more
Special+block swing
Yeah block cancel is basically mandatory
no thanks I'd rather mindlessly swing my axe and watch everything in front of me disappear
Can I kill God? đ¤
𫵠
Relic Blade's moveset is just fantastic in general ngl
Hm. What's the maximum number of bleed stacks again? 16?
Was wondering about which Chain Weapons would benefit more from having Bloodletter.
they would benefit more it it was uniform at 16 stacks
Really, which one? Chainsword or Chainaxe?
Thunderous Chainaxe
Which I am excluding from since I'm asking for Veteran.
The damage ticks from bleeding counts as hits for Thunderous, right?
Yup
Ok.
Now for a horrendous thing I am using.
A combat knife with Finesse as the Dump Stat, 25% Maniac/Unyielding, Haymaker and Lacerate.
Using it in an Anti-Ogryn build with a Bolter for man-sized threats.
if haymaker is the blessing i'm thinking of, i don't think it works against stuff larger than man-sized
Yes.
that's the chance of instakill on mansized enemies yeah
The Bolter and Krak grenades are the main anti-Ogryn weapons.
The knife is for the rest.
I bought the Rolling Bones dice, just to be safe.
Mate, the Knife's dump stat here is Finesse.
oh the humanity
is that the ass blessing that applies bleed only on non-weakspot hits
i mean it works... in theory... sorta
Yes.
truly a strange blessing
I am Victor Frankenstein.
i don't know how well it holds up to, like, h40 hitmass (or h40 amount of crushers) because i haven't seen someone run that build in havoc but i'm pretty sure it'll be fine in auric
In all seriousness, I was wondering on what to replace Lacerate with.
The bleed is secondary (not really important).
Might swap Unyielding for Stamina, since I found out that push attacks count as "Heavy Attacks".
I donât believe they do
according to the guide, knife has an exception for haymaker where push attack apparently can trigger it, but i don't think push attack triggers other heavy attack blessings - it does have a similar (? identical? not sure) damage profile to the heavy though
Yeah, I noticed getting Haymaker stacks when I do push attacks in a match.
Tried again in the Psykhanium against a Mauler, and it works.
as psyker, knife can (or at least the mk6 can, and idk if its still the case) also proc Smite's Electrocution-on-heavy node with the push attack, so I guess either the damage profile is the same, or there's some heavy-attack check variable that applies to knife PAs too...
They do. Like taxe and every other PA.
I was wondet by a playg orgrim today
Nah
Theyâre more the exception than the rule
Most PAs either share profiles with lights or have their own
I was not talking about the dmg. AFAIK they are considered heavies in terms of: does this talent/blessing proce or not
but @tall torrent may know better
tac axe push atk is heavy atk
question: when would you pick/avoid Taxe or Knife as your melee?
I responded to the guy about this already
Yeah but I was not talking about dmg profile. As for the ''exception'' I am not sure, I have always read PA were considered heavies but that may be specific to some weapons.
Profile typically refers not just damage but also stagger and cleave
Prob other things as well
All afaik
Havenât actually looked into the games code
no, it only counts as heavy atk if the push atk uses a heavy atk profile
That makes sense
so PA on the knife is considered heavy too?
or is it just the attack following the punch?
question
since when did the Antax Mk III Conclave-issue Tactical Helm (or the green Veteran helmet with the Rebreather) have a red visor
A week ago I think
they added that on the first patch of the year i think
yez
sorry but its nowhere near rashad level
does veteran pick up once you get a different ability? the weird focus mode is kind of not it for me atm
Rashad-lite
VOC is an easier ability to learn with
im playing bolt pistol survivalist and its SUPER ammo hungry
is this normal?
im having to take like 80% of the teams ammo lol
Do you have that one thing that gives you extra ammo?
That helps
Well helps me shoot more with other guns idk bout bolt pistol much
But youâll get more ammo from it
how much r u shooting
bistol doesnt have much ammo and if ur shooting a lot a lot then it makes sense
Good point ^
use your melee more
did you hit their head
Yes
Did you get the right build
What the heck is survivalist
Ammo regen aura
Oh the aura
Taking anything else is practically heresy so I dont remember the name lel
yeah I was probably having to use it too much
First of all its not heresy
this hardened skin is really fking with my ammo economy
Heretic
if im not hitting heads everything is taking like 3-4 shots to kill
Unless you talking havoc then sure
Rot armor?
no
What u talking about?
pus skin
""Some of the enemies in this sector have been "blessed" by their foul gods, hardening their skin."
- Affected enemies are green with lots of drippy particles
- Ranged damage reduction equal to 1 - (10% + 1% * havoc order rank). So higher ranks have less dr, and lower ranks have more dr (89% at rank 1, 50% at rank 40)"
"new" havoc modifier
I already have my frontline slayer vet ready to go
yeah just like rotten, dots circumvent the resistance
Ok den
double barrel with manstopper and flechette mogs pus
...
psyker wins again... fk...
And keystone?
weapon specialist
Taking puncture is probably wise
I played ws infiltrate bistol yesterday
Ammo economy is not great but you rarely need to reload
I think I have lethal proximity and point blank on it rn
rotton armor hard counters ranged
atp just go for the melee and save ur bullets
I can try swapping one for puncture
Lethal prox is no brainer so you swap point blank I guess
didnt feel like an option in my game tbh
too many gunners
It very much depends on usage
idk much abt current breakpoints but when I played puncture let bistol hit some 1 tap breakpoints
chuck a nade and slide in
Well he's not headshotting consistently
waste a krak on gunners??
Lul krak
bistol imo works best w frags
Defo prefer frag with all these goddamn damage reduction shit going on
cuz you get much more value out of the increased aoe from lethal prox
ehh... idk. im not sure trading my boss and armor killing was a good idea with our comp
we were destroying bad spikes by kraking out layered spawns
u could use power sword or rashad
You have a comp?
somewhat. it was havoc so we tried to cover our bases
ur supposed to use melee against armor anyway
run and slide towards gunners
Or infiltrate, and grenade
idk... thats taking me out of coherecy into a killing field
ill just try punture
:3
coherency is for nerds
Thats what you do on all the other classes...
just know how to keep urself alive and ur fine
Dash abilities also ignore range damage during movement
are kraks better to run than frags or is there a reason to use frags?
Hordes is reason to run frags
Espceially if you run helbore for example
And stagger
Very eide stagger
yeah it just depends on what you need in the kit
frags are horded/mixed horde/stagger/space generation
kraks are carapace/ogryn/boss damage
ah aight that makes sense, been playing vet working on masteries and wasnt sure what the big difference was
Kraks are ,,fuck you in particular,, type grenade
might switch to kraks for a bit, been using plasma and falchion which is already pretty decent for hordes
Frags also stagger so you can practically chuck it at anything
keep in mind if you want it to deal dmg directly to bosses youll have to hit them
so u need some aim
Or play arby and keep chucking kek
What about smokes?
Might shame me for this but I find Smokes so much more manageable after installing the Clear Smokes mod
Chuck at enemies, screws their aim
Melee enemies also occasionally lose vision and stop trying to hit you
make your local bubble psyker feel inferior with this one easy trick
and also automatically receive -1000 social credit whenever entering a havoc lobby
not because smokes are bad but because the community thinks smokes are bad
Does not affect melee enemies
and then also thinks ranged enemies are super oppressive
I've seen someone's video testing with a rager
1 min
https://youtu.be/kWNb7mu06As this one
Had some discussion on how Smoke Grenades would work on melee enemies, got to the psykanium and then I finally got it.
It seems that each enemy is assigned a flag on how aggressive they are, it can change on some random amount of time or when you hit the enemy, so they can start aggroed or can stop being aggroed on any hit.
This video shows ho...
I know what video you are talking about
This doesn't really line up with my personal experiences with smokes
I disagree with it
And I defend those suckers
1 min
Reeks to me of psykanium jank
I do, and yeah they don't really help in melee
Gonna start after I get my krak penance
It is very funny to have 3 better psyker domes in your backpocket tho
Smoke cloud effect: 5.5m radius, lasts for 15s; disables HUD nameplates of allies; players inside smoke are considered 'concealed' which alters the line of sight distance requirement of enemies during target selection; if a player holds aggro of an enemy who is in melee combat, the smoke has no effect on enemy perception; if a player holds aggro of an enemy who is in ranged combat, then the smoke makes the ranged enemy stop firing and change positions (this includes Sniper; Reaper is less likely to reposition); Gunners and Reaper when they are inside the smoke cloud's area of effect themselves keep firing at a player's last known position; Pox Hounds cannot lock on a player who is inside smoke cloud's area of effect and will keep circling the cloud; Trapper and Flamers need to be closer to players in order to start their shooting action; no effect on Bombers, Mutants, Poxburster
Smoke effects
Slight addition to this is that enemies also cannot draw line of sight through smoke either, not just on people inside of it
The video is just not well tested
Reapers and Gunners both have bugged AI when walking+shooting that sometimes allows them to continue firing with no LoS in any scenario smokes included, but the expected behavior of smoke is that ranged enemies should stop shooting instantly
Wha a good spam gun build
The classic Recon, Exe Stance, Marksman Focus build
MMF unfortunately mandatory for funny shoot forever build
you need the stamina for deadshot
Whole thing stinky
recon lasgun is not going to use ammo with deadshot
it is just as infinite as gun scum
or slightly more since you reload less I guess
also Mk XIV recon lasgun has cleave so it actually has good hordeclear
unlike the other two
But its so shiiiit
it's really not that bad
no deadshot means no ammo, FT means no stamina
point wasted on field improv which is solely a tax node because you can't afford serrated blade
you also don't have enough crit for infinite ammo recon
tinker is situational on shredders, and that situation is "you are using bolt pistol+grenadier and committing to spamming them"
How does mmf help with stamina ? (I run mmf with hellbore cuz I like to snipe stuff but I don't see how it gives stamina)
The right subnode, it gives back stamina
Oh yeah thx seems I can't read two lines
Is there anything lawbringer variant does better over the mk 1 on falchion?
Just different moveset really.
Ah I was trying to mess around with it but it felt awkward to use ngl
Its kind of good aw long as its powered.
And it has more dodges then the normal powersword.
A little but safer and more mobile.
yeah cause it SUCKS
just tried the helbore for the first time, it is not very good at all lol
Hush hyena; FI is where its at

Man, it's the BEST rifle. I have tried them all.
https://fximgur.com/a/Kx8MGGw cry about it
With a couple mods and using the right mark/build/blessings it's a beast. On par with plasma, but with less cleave. More sustained DPS.
don't really need mods for the helbore
Full auto hellbore into a beast of nurgle? Bye bye
or you can do it by learning the timing yourself :)
Nah, DPS is way higher. You can't time it that fast.
Say I average around 4k dps manually, same mark and everything if I use full auto mod, I hit 6k
Also cuts down on another thing you have to put computation and skill into, you can just hold down button and click. Focus on positioning instead of timing shots
For that I think the MK 5 is slept on like hell. The fast charge, and with unyielding/carapace you hit the same breakpoints as 3a.
Same per shot to bring a crusher down, but much faster shots.
you can't maybe
I may not be perfect but I'm sure as shit not going to be getting a 50% increase just from a mod correcting my rhythm xd
And besides that learning shot rhythm is a skill component for the helbores
And especially for the Mk IV partial charged shots and learning those breakpoints is important too
Ok, give me a few.
takes ~1/4 charge to 1 shot headshot dreg gunners
about 1/3 for scab gunners
1/3 for flamers as well
My argument is that ROT will always win, it's forgiving and flexible. Since ammo is a non factor on hellbore with shock trooper.
Yeah it just isnt for me, id much rather use bolt or plasma
Is that a mod??
So u are basically cheating
I love playing hellbore, I'm an auric scrub but I love to sit back and snipe specialists, especially those trying to sneak up from behind
Sure. I have every mod I can find to make my life easier without going full on aimbot. Arguing against automatic commands/macros etc is pointless, you're never going to be as good as the machine in timing.
https://fximgur.com/a/jhpdn9y humongous helbore
I don't want to be that guy
But if you say that Helbore is not good then it's a skill issue
If you say that it's annoying, yeah understandable
If say that it's not for you, yeah understandable
I was lying, I definitely wanted to be that guy

death to macros
might as well macro everything and go afk 
And that is exactly why its cheating. 
Stay coping
.shrug
Wth do you mean I cant afford serrated blade
I mean that FI is a node you should only take
If you cannot spend the extra talent point to path through serrated blade instead
Is that weapon sight from weapon mod, or is it part of that skin
entirely modded
the only thing that isn't a mod is the weapon camo itself
Which is the "Fireclaw" camo pattern
was sold a long ass time ago
800 aquilas and it was that orange/red tigerstripe camo for every weapon currently in the game
whatever, more grenades for everyone
actually doesnt deadshot consume stamina per shot
how the fuck do you even have a stamina bar
if you're recon las
Stam regen nodes.
is it enough?
Dunno. I never run deadshot.
lol imma go try it out and see if i dont immediately die of exhaustion
yep, no stamina UNLESS you headshot poxer hordes
sigh
Well, explains why randos shoot hordes. XD
if this is the build being spread around, then yes
your stamina consumption is completely relying on headshotting trash
else u have none to work with in a regular combat scenario
Likely.
This doesn't seem fair
tool assisted bullshit
People cheat but claim not to. Worst ones mock vanilla players.
I guess if its a downloadable mod its free game to use, but still feels wrong its included imo
typical cheater behaviour
I usually don't care if they just keep it to themselves and not talk about it. If one needs help to play, well, they need assistance.
If running healthbars makes me a cheater, so be it. I'll cheat all day
The health bar mod just makes it easier to know if there's enemies on like lights out and other blind modifiers. Also what to hit first if you need to decide. Extra info type of cheats.
Those are less of an issue than say Skitarius or aimbots where it more visibly offers a clear advantage.
oh i was moreso making a shitty joke bout multiple hp bars over a rejects head
mods or no mods enjoy the tiding however you please 
for canon purposes ima assume said modders got fancy servo skulls giving them auspex
Oh.
is it me or does the fucking crusher overhead track you
i keep dodging to the side and get slammed anyway
They're harder to dodge
If an inch of your character is in the splash zone you get dunked on
With lag, mormal. Mistimed dodge, also normal.
possible but fucking hell
it has happened too many times
i need to adjust my approach
There are two types of crusher overhead. One where he stays in roughly the same spot, and one where he follows you if you try to dodge back too quickly
If you want them to do the stationary attack, you have to stick close to them then dodge as late as you can
The problem is when there is a group of crushers that are staggering their attack timings so you can't afford to stay close and risk an overhead
I only consider it cheating if it does something for you you couldnt do by yourself for example macros or spidey sense or full auto mods.
If its just qol nobody cares.
Healthbars wont make u better at the game
You can keep track of the exact health values of all enemies in the game?
It noticeably improves your decision making
I pretty much got it in my head at this point yeah
I roughly know how many hits it takes with each weapon.
I also just hate healthbars
Sure roughly. But that doesn't account for the damage already done by teammates, or any other factors
Yeah true
I mean i dont really consider it an unfair advantage tho
Its just healthbars after all
It is unfair, but not to the extent of skitarius or aimbots. Unless someone wants to prove to me they can consistently pull off a commonly skitarius combo at the same rate and accuracy (I mean more in the, not messing or slowing down) of it for a full H40.
we are not machines and that's why we have machines helping us
but at the same time, if you abuse the machine you might as well ask a robot to fuck your wife
Funny part is, chances are, the robot will do better.
I kinda see the point how it would help u but its one of the mods i dont really mind if someone is using it.
it probably will but then, you're supposed to enjoy the experience
Why live if you don't even enjoy these things yourself
It's just not apparantly visible so as long as the person using it isn't screaming about hitting the lowest hp whatever, I don't care. If they are, then they need to get it in their brains that not everyone runs it.
Yeah
Well, the wife is enjoying it so... She benefits?
again, it leaves yourself out of the equation
You can just go play more.
@tall torrent eh im looking at the chainsword combos and there seems to be an error with mk13g?
im not sure how you're supposed to get light 3 -> light 2 -> light 1
why have a wife
sigh
man, i just got fucking run down by 12 crushers
out of nowhere
not a special mode or anything
A classic.
And FS doesn't read complains.
Why ppl care so much about cara dealing weapons.
Cos of bs like that.
12 maulers, sure.
spent all my kraks and there was still 5
12 crushers force it.
team also somehow fucking off looting
Its degenerate behavior
It ainât a fking toy you wave infront of your litterbox friends for them to be jealous of
Vice versa the other way around too
I hold the view that mods such as these are not cheating per se, but moreso the player needs training wheels to preform better
Its definitely information that gives an advantage but the information should come with game knowledge and skill as opposed to a mod
But some still do that. Is why the snark.
wsg my fellow vets, can ya'll tell me if this build is good?
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0d75118-8def-459a-bfc6-c664a1f48103/big-iron-vet
what the fuck is that
looks like a revolver sniper build?
you're gonna have a bad time without the 25% ammo node unless you're shameless about hogging all the ammo
or you spend most of your time meleeing, in which case why bother with the build
it doesnt even have weapon specialist
yeah i wouldn't skip keystones
and also wouldn't take tinkerer on frags
would prob drop exhil takedown as well
and take an actual melee weapon instead of smaul
and a hp curio instead of toughness
general rule of thumb: dont fucking trust random gameslantern builds
smaul is a actual melee
im assuming they made this one
now that's just copium
why i use it all the time and it works
no you dont
đ
well fuck me sideways
what do ya'll suggest then?
I just wanna be a space cowboy
its not really
for crushers and bulwarks youre still gonna want to throw kraks
no?
revolver is a damn good sniping gun for specialists and most elites
yeah reddit sucks
it can ig?
but?
i'd still rather throw a krak and not have to bother with them
specially since it can sometimes multikill if theyre packed together
and it also deals with bulwarks
the gun or the nade?
nade
kraks
it ignores their shield
that name dude
low blow
nah jk
I'll check it out
can I maybe still use the smaul?
it's safe
again if not on high havocs you can swap out tinkerer for whatever else
good at horde clear (not fast at it)
and plenty of utility
btw if I'm not gonna be killing crushers with it
why not the other iron?
because zarona has better breakpoints and an actual ads
ammo eficiency is probably an issue too
eh idk
you have survivalist and pretty much everything you'd want to shoot at dies in one tap
zarona is the better one overall
ok ok
for sniping specialists and elites
tru
also couple questions about the bigger iron build
why no exh takedown?
why no deadshot?
why no marksman?
unnecessary cause already have weapon specialist
what sort of build is it intended to be to begin with?
like primarily a shooting build?
oh yeah, forgot
or primarily a melee build with revolver?
not really needed when you have confirmed kill
I mean it's literally called big iron vet
not very good
gonna be shooting the big iron a lot
you will but youll also be meleeing a lot
revolver aint a lasgun so it wont get you infinite ammo privileges
yeah
but can I still use the smaul?
like I said
safe, plenty of utility
good but slow horde clear
I like it
haven't used it either tho
but from what I've seen
and heard
I'd like it
is mid
try it out ig
how many conditional buffs is this gonna have?
do I gotta do a whole ass ritual before each shot or?
and if it doesnt work out use power sword
this is what i run on a snipervolver build
a lot closer to mine
no exploit weakness?
you have agile engagement
or superiority complex?
i may drop grenadier for sc
that too
SC doesn't really change breakpoints
unless you have ES off
yeah nvm i'm not taking SC, not worth dropping grenadier for
with ES on you can one-shot reaper and 2-shot crushers pretty reliably with crit
no need to take SC
ES already has such stupidly high uptime
not particularly
like do I gotta activate skirmisher, agile engagement, exploit weakness and mark for every big guy or?
what are the breakpoints?
my bad
was looking at the other build
wait no I wasn't
you don't have ES
holy shit I'm an ogryn
oh yeah no EW
can you test it and tell me which buffs I need for enemies?
if i went all right side i'd be running a melee build
ES and crit covers everything basically
when it's on cooldown?
will need skirm and prob AE
you could drop gren for more reliable breakpoints
but ES has such high uptime that id c
i'd rather have gren
since you'll be sprinting, sliding and killing with melee
yeah there's always going to be hordes that you need to melee anyway
it's not terribly different from your build, no
do I really need reciprocity?
it's a really good idea to have it
What else are you going to take in that row anyway lol
And more crit is always good
Both for melee and for snapshots
Revolver is extremely dependent on crit
So increasing reliability is good
Waste of a talent outside of meme builds
Reciprocity is just much stronger
and ur sure this build will be good?
You never really run low on stam even with deadshot
what was bad with mine btw?
Well it was when I last played it
Prob just the things I listed above earlier
Though some is more preference
and that was how long ago?
Than objective fact
cuz shit changes
An hour ago? Idk
ok
I was thinking it was older
perfect then
I hope to Emprah this shit works
prolly will
25% crit chance is good
What's a melee weapon that works well with the bolter (I'm addicted to this gun)
Falch or Taxe
Quick question about blessings --
When refining: is committing a blessing to a weapon, make said blessing unavailable to all other weapons?
Not anymore
It used to
gotcha
whats the best tac axe mk as a sidearm for stuff like maulers and such
mk7
ok yea already running that and it seems good
I feel like im becoming a bistol main
Infiltrate frag
Pay $19 and you get inf vraks ammo.
I thought bistol is op
On HIV maybe 
No, it's meh.
Ok den
mid tier in the most frustrating way imaginable
On scum with BOOM Bringer... hilarious though.
Want a 10m radius BOOM?
Hey bistol with 15 stack MMF hits good breakpoints 
And the swapping for buffs feels great
Uhh, swapping? It's a passive. Lethal anyway.
Ws
Oh. That.
I find it enjoyable to pull out me gun every few seconds and blow someone to pieces
And then back to axe
đŞ
finally
thats vet and arbitrator maxed
i dont really care about the others so it feels great to have those two done
grats
So, Iâve been playing recon las vet for a year, and itâs been a blast. However, ready to branch off into some other builds/weapons.
Anyone have some good suggestions for a fun gun to try next? Never ran plasma before, so that could be a thing.
if you want a gun that actually involves a bit of chest hair, try vrak infantry autogun
That's just limited ammo harder to control recon gameplay.
kills way faster
actually has punch to it
unlike recon
it's a pretty fun gun because you can just tap an elite on the head, and it just dies
Iag doesnât scale into higher difficulties imo
havoc?
or what are you talking about
because vraks is a beast in auric
the only reason it's not used more in havoc is because of ammo
but then you have hiv that has unlimited ammo sooooo
Is why vraks on ganger.
Iâd hesitate to try it even in hi-intensity dams. Too much carapace. It basically forces me to take a power sword
have you tried simplying stacking finesse?
this is without onslaught btw
Are you seriously reconing crushers?
with onslaught it'd be even faster
Tf
turns out, a very high rate of fire gun, with very high finesse can do some very stupid things
even against enemies that its ostensibly weak against
?
Shooting crushers with recon.
Heck no
Think you got me mixed up with the other guy
It was to that though.
no even in havoc vraks is a monster
he's talking about vraks there
it's still absurdly ammo efficient just through sheer damage output
i believe it
âItâ is the iag, not recon
I use it on exe MMF vet sometimes
Like yeah technically it's less efficient than a lasgun
But even in havoc it 2 shots most enemies at worst
And annihilates everything in the blink of an eye
Yes, but is like, are you telling me you are SHOOTING Crushers.
And not like, on a hellbore built for it.
Nah, thatâs why I said I had to run psword
I know itâs good, just donât enjoy it
So, if you do, then doesn't matter what gun you run as long as you can kill specials.

Ok, vraks IAG! Iâll give it a shot. Any builds that it works best with? Any need for keystones?
I have seen havoc 40 1-2 shots with it.

you can try this-- it's a well-rounded hybrid build
keystones you should prob take on every build tbh
Helbore can one shot H40 crushers barely with a red stim
Thus, 1-2 shots.
consistent 2 shot on a somewhat normal build
I always see people claiming helbore doing stuff like this, but whenever I see the gun in game, people struggle to kill much of anything. Just not pulling off consistent headshots?
Does discard weapons from the menu -- make money?
more like the helbore is a gun that you NEED to build for for it to be good
just using it like any other gun will not make it good
Iâll give it a whirl one day!
Also a hit or miss type of gun. You either like it or HATE it.
yeah
Iâve tried it in meat grinder a few times. I can see it being a gun that takes a lot of patience and focus
even when built for it and it's good you may still not like it
this is what I would say is the minimum investment the helbore needs to be usable
yeah not much
add One Motion if using the IIIa or IV
Mk V has faster swap speed and doesn't need it
Gotcha. Just clearing mark duplicates.
huh mk5 has faster swap speed?
thought they were all the same
Strong taste feel. Plasma is the same imo.
The delay irks me.
It might be just the Mk IV specifically is slower than the other 2
But yeah Mk V is way faster at everything
I don't actually use either of the other helbores very often since I am a Mk IV purist xd
Thx for the tip. It works.
remember to aim for the head
obvious, but makes a huge difference on something like vraks
His numbers are a lot more consistent than mine, I was gonna ask
try pulling down 
Why do you think I start at neck? It kicks hard to head and with the stick down, it works out.
for most enemies, you only need a few shots anyway
True. On ganger, you can just spray with wild abandon lul.
Honestly, seeing how fast they kill basically anything is just insane. Ultimate glass cannon though! Have yet to purchase it
glass cannon moment

bro just taking a crusher overhead with his stiff chin and not even flinching
I ran ex stance expecting more from it
yeah it has the least recoil, and has reduced damage falloff just like agri
Is nicer on controller imo.
Less insane of a kick.
is there a build that makes decent use of the shock maul? so far mostly RLasgun focused builds work as debuff sticks for captains and their shields
but dont think there is enough of what the Smaul offers on its own for melee
Jesus. Donât know how that was achieved but fuckin eh
You could discard weapons???
I think the lawbringer variant on falchion is starting to grow on me
Odd move set but the uptime on cranial is consistent since it feels impossible to not get a headshot with its move set
oh that's just selling weapons
Hey guys
Can yall help me out with making some fun builds for veteran ?
Or show me where to find some?
the pinned guide
i like revolver sniper
a lot more skill based than most builds but feels so damn good to do 6k+dps with penetration
Iâve seen some revolver vets! Itâs pretty crazy to see how good some are with it
heavily depends on build
90% of the time VOC can be a lifesaver
it's harder to use
VOC is a press F to win pretty much any situation button
Vet if he was good
the ability to see where the bombers are before they toss any fart face or to down the ragers faster due the added damage is valuable as a main gunner, shout is safety for you and team but Exe stance make you a better version of your role
Every team needs a main gunner - sun tzu
i've been trying out helbore recently and the mark 5 feels really good to use - even though it doesn't have the breakpoints of the mk 4 it shoots so damn fast i can just double tap everything
and the initial draw + charge is so fast
it was final toll + stimms which further fucked up my breakpoints (sometimes i would one tap stuff, other times i would have to shoot 3-4 times prolly because of blue stimm) but at least it wasn't pus + stimms
the two complaints i have with helbore are the sights (i am not brave enough to delve into weapon customization mods) and the charge mechanic feeling very clunky at high charge speed (i got a mod to make helbores passively charge so that i can shoot on mouse click like every other gun in the game)
yeah ES + crit build + recon lasgun is really good
basically +50% damage while in ES
ES enables a lot of stuff, revolver/Helbore oneshots, shotgun specials hunting, Vraks autogun shredding anything with a weakspot
its a big damage boost, and the intel it gives is valuable
trading it for VoC isnt that easy, but it can work
unlike some other skill...*stares at infiltrate gaming
It's easier than some think
Because honestly VoC is not as good as it used to be at all.
The changes did actually kinda gut it a little.
It's good. But it's not the obvious choice like it once was and when I play vet, I honestly try to opt for ES nowadays.
Is the salvo blessing good for the las gun
No
idk if salvo is good for anYthing other than like
low capacity mags
revolver and stuff
but even then its outclassed
Wait we talking opening salvo or punishing salvo
tbh i dont even know what the difference is
I like the green lasgun for this
More reliable headshots
i use the 3rd recon las, the 2nd one is funny cause how fast it shoots but too much damage loss compared to the 3rd
1st one is more AR than SMG
I'm just here with my las pistol looking at you weird
las pistol is also nie
very good headshot machine
it was what i was running for a while when i started playing psyker
laspis is what ilas wished it was
Las pistol is what ilas should be
Wish infantry las wasn't so shitty
infantry las does seem very mid
Same brainsell âĽď¸
needs like better scope or less recoil idk
Its underpowered
The latter
I think better adm
Popping ES and then hearing plink plink plink is super disappointing
It should also get a bigger headshot ratio like what they gave to the uhhh
Helbore las
better breakpoints yeah
Yeahd
Female loose cannon should get a 100% damage reduction at all times because she is. The best
the fuck is your name 
He needs to pee too :(
Lasguns having recoil makes no sense too
How does a laser have recoil
i think they added recoil
