slender elm
#

yey

#

all of the penances

turbid ibex
#

None of the penances

slender elm
#

im kinda enjoying the bullshit that is stupid frag grenades from invis

#

mostly because bistol swapping without needing to reload is very nice

slender elm
#

On the other hand, I can underhand throw frags without breaking stealth

#

Does the damage apply?

#

Nvm it does

dense belfry
#

What Taxe mark was good against carapace again?

hollow ibex
#

they're ok

#

7 is the best mark'

dense belfry
#

Do i get this?

hollow ibex
#

if you have to dump a stat

#

better to dump thermal than charge

dense belfry
#

Never used a plasma before, it good against carapace?

turbid ibex
#

No

#

Its your standard specialist/elite sniping gun

dense belfry
#

What guns are good against carapace, if they even exist?

Do we not have a decent ranged anti-armor option at all?

tame lodge
#

Helbore

dense belfry
#

That it?

tame lodge
#

Hand Cannon Zarona Revolver

turbid ibex
#

hollow ibex
#

VAG can be pretty decent against crushers

#

tbh on vet

#

most weapons can be made to shred crushers

dense belfry
hollow ibex
#

HIV weapon

turbid ibex
#

Needle pistol

dense belfry
#

Oh. That one.

tame lodge
#

The rule of thumb is that there's no ranged against carapace

#

Except Helbore because helby is just that goated

hollow ibex
dense belfry
hollow ibex
#

a lot of things will shred carapace

hollow ibex
dense belfry
hollow ibex
#

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

dense belfry
#

I suppose that's a new way of looking at things.

hollow ibex
#

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

dense belfry
#

Yeah, who plays havoc anymore? Especially with how OtT crusher spawns can be normally.

hollow ibex
#

decent amount of people on this server ig

#

but i'm not into CBT

random sage
#

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

will you still be strong? yeah

#

is it a good idea? no

random sage
hollow ibex
#

yup

hollow ibex
#

yeah good luck with that in pub matches

real loom
#

I saw videos of ppl using helbore vet h40 and they need people covering them always and they play with the best players

hollow ibex
#

lol

#

yeah with coordinated teams on mics, it's obviously a different story

#

like i said above

real loom
#

Plasma vet has almost no weaknesses

hollow ibex
#

?

#

plasma can't horde clear

#

plasma isn't efficient against carapace

dry cloak
#

plasma is bad

hollow ibex
#

and also sucks against bosses

real loom
#

Plasma for special/rager/mauler

dry cloak
#

only quality is cleave

real loom
#

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

hollow ibex
#

well that's just taking a well-rounded loadout lol

#

which is what i'm advising

real loom
#

They are just weak to getting swarmed by armor/ragers/maulers

#

If no kraks left

hollow ibex
#

if you take psword

#

you automatically have a well-rounded build

turbid ibex
#

How do you get one

dense belfry
leaden condor
#

Do everything melee in exchange for being annoying as shit to use

dense belfry
#

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.

leaden condor
#

Chainsword's special is what a special should be

hollow ibex
#

So it’s worth the effort

dense belfry
#

Either that or cleave targets isn't the dump stat and i've been lied to again...

serene bough
#

I.e. it swaps the moveset and dmg profile to swap between AoE and single target dmg

hollow ibex
#

Hate it all you want, doesn’t change the facts

#

Just 1 hit

dense belfry
#

You get overrun (inevitability), and you'll struggle.

#

Basically; only special spam weapon with 1 blessing spot

dense belfry

It's so boring, too.

Click -slash,slash,slash- . click -slash,slash,slash-.

That, Ad infinitum.

tall torrent
#

It’s one of the very few weapons where push needs to be part of ur combo

leaden condor
serene bough
real loom
#

Psword is less boring then dueling sword what everyone uses

leaden condor
#

It's not that it's boring it's that having to spam specials is just tedious

hollow ibex
#

It’s not the easiest weapon to use

#

And I understand why people hate it

turbid ibex
#

At least it does for me with relic blade

tall torrent
#

Idk I never have that issue

hollow ibex
#

It hasn’t bothered me personally either

#

But muscle memory prob varies from person to person

real loom
#

Theres a way to make special take less longer

#

But I need to learn to do it more

#

Special+block swing

hollow ibex
#

Yeah block cancel is basically mandatory

wild vortex
#

I just refuse to learn it so I don't use PS

#

Hm. What's the maximum number of bleed stacks again? 16?

narrow frost
#

16

#

Explained in the guide in the pins

marsh condor
#

Was wondering about which Chain Weapons would benefit more from having Bloodletter.

dry cloak
#

they would benefit more it it was uniform at 16 stacks

marsh condor
#

Really, which one? Chainsword or Chainaxe?

dry cloak
#

both

#

eviscerator is a chian weapon and gives 16 stacks with blood letter

marsh condor
marsh condor
tame lodge
#

Yup

marsh condor
#

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.

stable socket
#

if haymaker is the blessing i'm thinking of, i don't think it works against stuff larger than man-sized

silver patrol
#

that's the chance of instakill on mansized enemies yeah

marsh condor
#

The Bolter and Krak grenades are the main anti-Ogryn weapons.

#

The knife is for the rest.

silver patrol
#

are you running haymaker

#

oh the misery

marsh condor
marsh condor
silver patrol
#

oh the humanity

tame lodge
#

I don't have issues with haymaker

#

But lacerate oh lacerate

silver patrol
#

is that the ass blessing that applies bleed only on non-weakspot hits

stable socket
#

i mean it works... in theory... sorta

silver patrol
#

truly a strange blessing

marsh condor
#

I am Victor Frankenstein.

stable socket
#

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

marsh condor
#

In all seriousness, I was wondering on what to replace Lacerate with.

tame lodge
#

If you want the bleed still, then flesh tearer

#

If not then uncanny

marsh condor
#

The bleed is secondary (not really important).

#

Might swap Unyielding for Stamina, since I found out that push attacks count as "Heavy Attacks".

stable socket
#

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

marsh condor
#

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.

#

I was wondet by a playg orgrim today

hollow ibex
#

They’re more the exception than the rule

#

Most PAs either share profiles with lights or have their own

thorn lark
#

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

tall torrent
void dragon
#

question: when would you pick/avoid Taxe or Knife as your melee?

hollow ibex
thorn lark
#

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.

hollow ibex
#

Profile typically refers not just damage but also stagger and cleave

#

Prob other things as well

#

All afaik

#

Haven’t actually looked into the games code

tall torrent
thorn lark
#

so PA on the knife is considered heavy too?

#

or is it just the attack following the punch?

swift jolt
#

#

since when did the Antax Mk III Conclave-issue Tactical Helm (or the green Veteran helmet with the Rebreather) have a red visor

im playing bolt pistol survivalist and its SUPER ammo hungry

#

is this normal?

#

im having to take like 80% of the teams ammo lol

lunar maple
#

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 you’ll get more ammo from it

narrow widget
#

bistol doesnt have much ammo and if ur shooting a lot a lot then it makes sense

lunar maple

Good point ^

did you hit their head

Did you get the right build

What the heck is survivalist

Oh the aura

Taking anything else is practically heresy so I dont remember the name lel

prime wyvern
dry cloak
#

First of all its not heresy

prime wyvern
#

this hardened skin is really fking with my ammo economy

slender elm
#

Heretic

prime wyvern
#

if im not hitting heads everything is taking like 3-4 shots to kill

dry cloak
#

Unless you talking havoc then sure

prime wyvern
#

no

slender elm
#

What u talking about?

narrow frost
#

pus skin

prime wyvern
#

""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)"
narrow frost

"new" havoc modifier

hybrid plover
#

Pus punishes ranged

#

This is a good time to bring out.

#

The double barrel.

prime wyvern
#

I already have my frontline slayer vet ready to go

hybrid plover
#

yeah just like rotten, dots circumvent the resistance

slender elm
#

Ok den

hybrid plover
#

double barrel with manstopper and flechette mogs pus

prime wyvern
slender elm
#

Bistol does have puncture

#

What u running

prime wyvern
#

ummm

#

the two close range ones I think

slender elm
#

And keystone?

prime wyvern
#

weapon specialist

slender elm
#

Taking puncture is probably wise

#

I played ws infiltrate bistol yesterday

#

Ammo economy is not great but you rarely need to reload

prime wyvern
#

I think I have lethal proximity and point blank on it rn

narrow widget
prime wyvern
#

I can try swapping one for puncture

slender elm
#

Lethal prox is no brainer so you swap point blank I guess

prime wyvern
#

too many gunners

slender elm
#

It very much depends on usage

narrow widget
#

idk much abt current breakpoints but when I played puncture let bistol hit some 1 tap breakpoints

narrow widget
slender elm
#

Well he's not headshotting consistently

prime wyvern
#

waste a krak on gunners??

narrow widget
#

if you have voc just run in and shout

#

oh ur using krak

slender elm
#

Lul krak

narrow widget
#

bistol imo works best w frags

slender elm
#

Defo prefer frag with all these goddamn damage reduction shit going on

narrow widget
#

cuz you get much more value out of the increased aoe from lethal prox

prime wyvern
#

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

narrow widget
#

u could use power sword or rashad

slender elm
#

You have a comp?

prime wyvern
#

somewhat. it was havoc so we tried to cover our bases

narrow widget
#

ur supposed to use melee against armor anyway

prime wyvern
#

gunners

#

im not shooting crushers or maulers lol

slender elm
#

Run at gunners

#

Profit

narrow widget
#

run and slide towards gunners

slender elm
#

Or infiltrate, and grenade

prime wyvern
#

idk... thats taking me out of coherecy into a killing field

#

ill just try punture

#

:3

narrow widget
#

coherency is for nerds

slender elm
#

Thats what you do on all the other classes...

narrow widget
#

just know how to keep urself alive and ur fine

slender elm
#

Dash abilities also ignore range damage during movement

ebon lynx
#

are kraks better to run than frags or is there a reason to use frags?

dry cloak
#

Hordes is reason to run frags

#

Espceially if you run helbore for example

#

And stagger

#

Very eide stagger

hollow ibex
#

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

ebon lynx
#

ah aight that makes sense, been playing vet working on masteries and wasnt sure what the big difference was

dry cloak
#

Kraks are ,,fuck you in particular,, type grenade

ebon lynx
#

might switch to kraks for a bit, been using plasma and falchion which is already pretty decent for hordes

slender elm
#

Frags also stagger so you can practically chuck it at anything

tidal fox
#

so u need some aim

slender elm
#

Or play arby and keep chucking kek

tidal fox
#

it'll stick to bosses if u hit em

#

but for carapace armor it'll home onto them

junior grail
#

What about smokes?

#

Might shame me for this but I find Smokes so much more manageable after installing the Clear Smokes mod

slender elm
#

Chuck at enemies, screws their aim

#

Melee enemies also occasionally lose vision and stop trying to hit you

calm shard
#

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

narrow frost
calm shard
#

and then also thinks ranged enemies are super oppressive

It is very funny to have 3 better psyker domes in your backpocket tho

narrow frost
#

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

calm shard
narrow frost
#

The video is just not well tested

calm shard
#

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

Any vids on it or pics of it

slender elm
#

I kinda hate mmf for recon

#

It's poor at consistent headshots

#

Just take ft

calm shard
#

MMF unfortunately mandatory for funny shoot forever build

#

you need the stamina for deadshot

slender elm
#

Whole thing stinky

calm shard
slender elm
#

Just take ft and hose people

#

And shout

calm shard
#

any melee that kills crushers

#

shoot everything else

slender elm
#

Please dont encourage people to horde clear with ammo

#

At least bring frags

calm shard
#

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

slender elm
#

But its so shiiiit

calm shard
#

it's really not that bad

slender elm
#

🤮

#

This is what I would run

calm shard
#

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)

don't really need mods for the helbore

sweet coyote
#

Full auto hellbore into a beast of nurgle? Bye bye

calm shard
#

or you can do it by learning the timing yourself :)

sweet coyote
#

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.

calm shard
#

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

sweet coyote
#

Ok, give me a few.

calm shard
#

takes ~1/4 charge to 1 shot headshot dreg gunners

#

about 1/3 for scab gunners

#

1/3 for flamers as well

sweet coyote
#

My argument is that ROT will always win, it's forgiving and flexible. Since ammo is a non factor on hellbore with shock trooper.

ebon lynx
#

Yeah it just isnt for me, id much rather use bolt or plasma

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

unreal nova
slender elm
#

possible but fucking hell

#

it has happened too many times

#

i need to adjust my approach

analog mural
#

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

distant mural
#

If its just qol nobody cares.

#

Healthbars wont make u better at the game

analog mural
#

You can keep track of the exact health values of all enemies in the game?

#

It noticeably improves your decision making

distant mural

I roughly know how many hits it takes with each weapon.

#

I also just hate healthbarsKEKW_ogryn

analog mural
#

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

man, i just got fucking run down by 12 crushers

#

out of nowhere

#

not a special mode or anything

unreal nova
#

And FS doesn't read complains.

#

Why ppl care so much about cara dealing weapons.

#

Cos of bs like that.

#

12 maulers, sure.

slender elm
#

spent all my kraks and there was still 5

unreal nova
#

12 crushers force it.

slender elm
#

team also somehow fucking off looting

It ain’t a fking toy you wave infront of your litterbox friends for them to be jealous of

Its definitely information that gives an advantage but the information should come with game knowledge and skill as opposed to a mod

unreal nova
marsh kestrel
turbid ibex
#

what the fuck is that

hollow ibex
#

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

turbid ibex
#

it doesnt even have weapon specialist

hollow ibex
#

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

turbid ibex
#

general rule of thumb: dont fucking trust random gameslantern builds

dry cloak
#

smaul is a actual melee

hollow ibex
hollow ibex
turbid ibex
#

nvm then

#

now i feel bad

dry cloak
turbid ibex
#

no you dont

marsh kestrel
#

well fuck me sideways

#

what do ya'll suggest then?

#

I just wanna be a space cowboy

turbid ibex
#

if not on havocs you can swap out tinkerer for whatever

marsh kestrel
#

lemme ask you smth

#

if the big iron is gonna be killing heavies

#

why the kraks?

turbid ibex
#

for crushers and bulwarks youre still gonna want to throw kraks

marsh kestrel
#

are we deadass?

#

THEN WHY FUCKING BOTHER

#

omg dawg

#

this build is niche asf

turbid ibex
#

no?

marsh kestrel
#

I tried on my own

#

failed

#

tried reddit

#

failed

turbid ibex
#

revolver is a damn good sniping gun for specialists and most elites

turbid ibex
marsh kestrel
#

can't it two shot crushers tho?

#

I think it's fine

turbid ibex
#

it can ig?

marsh kestrel
#

but?

turbid ibex
#

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

marsh kestrel
turbid ibex
#

nade

#

kraks

#

it ignores their shield

marsh kestrel
#

low blow

#

nah jk

#

I'll check it out

#

can I maybe still use the smaul?

#

it's safe

turbid ibex
#

again if not on high havocs you can swap out tinkerer for whatever else

marsh kestrel
#

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?

turbid ibex
#

because zarona has better breakpoints and an actual ads

marsh kestrel
#

ammo eficiency is probably an issue too

turbid ibex
#

eh idk

marsh kestrel
#

it fires faster

#

so

turbid ibex
#

you have survivalist and pretty much everything you'd want to shoot at dies in one tap

marsh kestrel
#

but the agripinaa is generally not the way to go, yes?

#

or?

turbid ibex
#

zarona is the better one overall

marsh kestrel
#

ok ok

turbid ibex
#

for sniping specialists and elites

marsh kestrel
#

oh shit

#

I forgto point blank is a thing

#

and synergises with weapon specialist

hollow ibex
#

eh point blank doesn't really

#

because WS already gives you crit

marsh kestrel
#

tru

#

also couple questions about the bigger iron build

#

why no exh takedown?

#

why no deadshot?

#

why no marksman?

turbid ibex
hollow ibex
#

what sort of build is it intended to be to begin with?

#

like primarily a shooting build?

marsh kestrel
hollow ibex
#

or primarily a melee build with revolver?

turbid ibex
marsh kestrel
turbid ibex
marsh kestrel
#

gonna be shooting the big iron a lot

turbid ibex
#

you will but youll also be meleeing a lot

#

revolver aint a lasgun so it wont get you infinite ammo privileges

marsh kestrel
#

yeah

#

but can I still use the smaul?

#

like I said

#

safe, plenty of utility

#

good but slow horde clear

turbid ibex
#

maybe?

#

idk i havent really used smaul at all

marsh kestrel
#

I like it

#

haven't used it either tho

#

but from what I've seen

#

and heard

#

I'd like it

turbid ibex
#

is mid

marsh kestrel
#

idk dawg

#

anyways

turbid ibex
#

try it out ig

marsh kestrel
#

how many conditional buffs is this gonna have?

#

do I gotta do a whole ass ritual before each shot or?

hollow ibex
turbid ibex
#

and if it doesnt work out use power sword

hollow ibex
#

this is what i run on a snipervolver build

turbid ibex
#

no exploit weakness?

marsh kestrel
#

you have agile engagement

turbid ibex
#

or superiority complex?

hollow ibex
#

i may drop grenadier for sc

marsh kestrel
hollow ibex
#

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

marsh kestrel
#

this build

#

does it need a lot of conditional buffs?

hollow ibex
#

not particularly

marsh kestrel
#

like do I gotta activate skirmisher, agile engagement, exploit weakness and mark for every big guy or?

#

what are the breakpoints?

hollow ibex
#

mark for big guys with ES up

#

idk if you even need skirmisher up tbh

marsh kestrel
#

my bad

#

was looking at the other build

#

wait no I wasn't

#

you don't have ES

#

holy shit I'm an ogryn

hollow ibex
#

wait what

#

i do have ES

marsh kestrel
#

I'm fucking illiterate

#

EW

#

not ES

#

actual ogryn over here

#

anyways

hollow ibex
#

oh yeah no EW

marsh kestrel
#

can you test it and tell me which buffs I need for enemies?

hollow ibex
#

if i went all right side i'd be running a melee build

hollow ibex
marsh kestrel
#

when it's on cooldown?

hollow ibex
#

will need skirm and prob AE

#

you could drop gren for more reliable breakpoints

#

but ES has such high uptime that id c

marsh kestrel
#

so basically

#

playing normally

hollow ibex
#

i'd rather have gren

marsh kestrel
#

since you'll be sprinting, sliding and killing with melee

hollow ibex
#

yeah there's always going to be hordes that you need to melee anyway

marsh kestrel
#

I mean tbf this is basically my build

#

with a few things dropped for focus target

hollow ibex
#

it's not terribly different from your build, no

marsh kestrel
#

do I really need reciprocity?

hollow ibex
#

it's a really good idea to have it

marsh kestrel
#

yeah but I already have other sources of crit

#

aiming for half a second gives 80%

hollow ibex
#

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

marsh kestrel
#

duck and dive

#

stamina is always good

hollow ibex
#

So increasing reliability is good

hollow ibex
marsh kestrel
#

ok

#

reciprocity it is then

hollow ibex
#

Reciprocity is just much stronger

marsh kestrel
#

and ur sure this build will be good?

hollow ibex
#

You never really run low on stam even with deadshot

marsh kestrel
#

what was bad with mine btw?

hollow ibex
hollow ibex
#

Though some is more preference

marsh kestrel
hollow ibex
#

Than objective fact

marsh kestrel
#

cuz shit changes

hollow ibex
marsh kestrel
#

ok

#

I was thinking it was older

#

perfect then

#

I hope to Emprah this shit works

#

prolly will

So, I’ve been playing recon las vet for a year, and it’s 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.

hollow ibex
unreal nova
hollow ibex
#

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

brave acorn
#

Iag doesn’t scale into higher difficulties imo

hollow ibex
#

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

unreal nova
brave acorn
#

I’d hesitate to try it even in hi-intensity dams. Too much carapace. It basically forces me to take a power sword

unreal nova
hollow ibex
#

with onslaught it'd be even faster

hollow ibex
#

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

brave acorn
unreal nova
brave acorn
#

Heck no

unreal nova
#

Technically, shooting crushers with plasma is the same.

#

Too expensive to be worth.

brave acorn
#

Think you got me mixed up with the other guy

calm shard
hollow ibex
#

he's talking about vraks there

calm shard
#

it's still absurdly ammo efficient just through sheer damage output

hollow ibex
brave acorn
#

“It” is the iag, not recon

calm shard
#

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

unreal nova
#

And not like, on a hellbore built for it.

brave acorn

I’ll give it a whirl one day!

unreal nova
calm shard
#

yeah

ember halo
calm shard
#

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

hollow ibex
calm shard
#

add One Motion if using the IIIa or IV

#

Mk V has faster swap speed and doesn't need it

arctic ridge
hollow ibex
#

thought they were all the same

unreal nova
#

The delay irks me.

calm shard
#

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

hollow ibex
#

fair

#

(mk5 is the best)

hollow ibex
#

remember to aim for the head

#

obvious, but makes a huge difference on something like vraks

unreal nova
#

It kicks up to head.

brave acorn
#

His numbers are a lot more consistent than mine, I was gonna ask

hollow ibex

void dragon

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

I think the lawbringer variant on falchion is starting to grow on meloregryn

Hey guys

Can yall help me out with making some fun builds for veteran ?

Or show me where to find some?

a lot more skill based than most builds but feels so damn good to do 6k+dps with penetration

hybrid pulsar
#

hey as vet players

#

why isnt executioner stance used more?

ember halo
drowsy perch
#

90% of the time VOC can be a lifesaver

hollow ibex
#

VOC is a press F to win pretty much any situation button

drowsy perch
#

i use it on my revolver vet and recon vvet

#

but usually VOC for everything else

hollow ibex
#

ES is more of a sustained upgrade

#

basically Vet++

tame lodge
#

Vet if he was good

void dragon
# hybrid pulsar why isnt executioner stance used more?

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

torpid grotto
#

Every team needs a main gunner - sun tzu

stable socket
#

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)

drowsy perch
#

basically +50% damage while in ES

void dragon
#

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

hybrid plover
#

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.

livid crystal
#

Is the salvo blessing good for the las gun

slender elm
#

No

drowsy perch
#

idk if salvo is good for anYthing other than like

#

low capacity mags

#

revolver and stuff

#

but even then its outclassed

slender elm
#

Wait we talking opening salvo or punishing salvo

drowsy perch
#

tbh i dont even know what the difference is

livid hill
#

More reliable headshots

slender elm
#

Opening is on first shot

#

Punishing is after first shot

drowsy perch
#

1st one is more AR than SMG

Huh

#

I meant the green one, not the super slow firing yeller one

#

OH YES

ONAY YES

I'm just here with my las pistol looking at you weird

very good headshot machine

it was what i was running for a while when i started playing psyker

Wish infantry las wasn't so shitty

infantry las does seem very mid

livid hill
drowsy perch
#

needs like better scope or less recoil idk

livid hill
livid hill
slender elm
#

I think better adm

hollow ibex

the visual recoil is so ass

#

without the visual recoil the gun would be much better

#

Popping ES and then hearing plink plink plink is super disappointing

better breakpoints yeah

Female loose cannon should get a 100% damage reduction at all times because she is. The best
