drowsy perch
#

the mkVIc of recon las is pretty good

#

with crit build and such

#

laser minigun basically

silver patrol
#

they should give onslaught to hivescum

#

doesn't it have shit finesse

drowsy perch
#

idk

#

doesnt even have it as a stat

silver patrol
#

it's pretty low, something like 1.3 irrc

hybrid plover
#

Recon has like no finesse

drowsy perch
#

but with the blessings and talents that add crit chance while aiming

#

you can get basically infinite crits

hybrid plover
#

Infernus is strong tho so

silver patrol
#

uhhhh

hybrid plover
hollow ibex
#

apparently recon las finesse is .75

latent star
#

The main issue I find with recons is if I fully build into a recon I can make it about as effective as a similar Helbore build except it eats all the ammo.

hollow ibex
#

so actually not as bad as previously thought

fair shale
#

Recon will crit through weight of fire anyway

hollow ibex
#

but it's still not high enough to run with MMF for example

#

for reference helbore finesse is 2

#

as is ilas

hybrid plover
#

Headhunter is not very good for recon at all.

drowsy perch
latent star
#

Helbore MMF build with the fastest mark (mark 5 iirc) is pretty fun.

hollow ibex
#

yeh

drowsy perch
#

let me upload the video

hollow ibex
latent star
hybrid plover
hollow ibex
#

to not take

#

headhunter is a good third option

#

but we only get 2 blessing slots

#

brauto moment 😭

latent star
#

I think I'd drop infernus before dumdum honestly (not saying to drop infernus)

drowsy perch
#

infernus is just free damage since i just hold m1 and spray

#

with constant crits too

hybrid plover
#

Honestly I don't think it's a good choice even with dumdum not being there. Because you never get more than +25% crit chance

wild vortex
drowsy perch
wild vortex
latent star
#

I suspect infernus is overrated because if you're on target most enemies should die before it ticks many times but it stacks super fast and is unique to recon play style so

hollow ibex
#

so it's actually more effective in practice than you'd think

#

also fire is a strong DOT

#

not as strong as tox obviously, but stronger than bleed

drowsy perch
#

the issue isnt that i run out of ammo

#

actually there is no issue

hybrid plover
#

Infernus if anything kinda invalidates Headhunter even more.

latent star
#

Yeah, it's just really inefficient for what vet usually wants to do with ranged (kill specialists instantly).

drowsy perch
#

its just that being able to kill an entire horde with maulers and not even having to reload

#

so good

latent star
#

It's not a bad blessing in other contexts

hybrid plover
#

You'd be able to do that without headhunter and probably better with dumdum

drowsy perch
#

nuh uh

wild vortex
# drowsy perch

on an average, you had between 2 and 3 stacks of HH at any given time. And it took you 25 seconds and a whole clip to kill the crusher. And afaik this is not damnation HP Crusher, much less auric

drowsy perch
#

that means less crits

hybrid plover
#

Because you're just doing much more damage overall.

hollow ibex
#

i think some recon las vets are just allergic to their primary slot

drowsy perch
#

more crits = more shots

latent star
#

I'm team dumdum (you can tell by my opinions)

hollow ibex
#

reincarnated psyker mains

drowsy perch
#

they do not grasp my silly laser minigun concept

hybrid plover
#

Yes but you kill them, slower

#

Like noticeably slower.

wild vortex
drowsy perch
#

yes

wild vortex
#

ok

latent star
#

Sometime I wanna do three wound curio suicide psyker

wild vortex
#

not much point to continuing the convo then

latent star
#

Not because it is good

#

But because I'm the poxburster now.

drowsy perch
#

i dont have infinite diamantine to replace this shit constantly

#

also

#

loser city meta head or smth

#

have some fun for once

latent star
#

It's fine, check in with the armory regularly for +toughness +16 or higher and stam +3 (that isn't 400 rating)

#

Vet is very toughness focused and you will feel much better if you can run 2 or 3 good toughness curios

#

250ish toughness let's you honey badger a bit

hybrid plover
#

I don't even think headhunter actually helps with ammo efficiency that much either.

#

If it could go to lile

#

50% extra crit

#

Say less. That's actually neat.

drowsy perch
latent star
#

I guess it's an open question if dumdum kills faster enough for it to win on ammo economy

hybrid plover
#

But even then, there's one major issue.

drowsy perch
#

i can clear it without even reloading once

latent star
#

Probably depends some on what mark and play style you're using

hybrid plover
#

Because Dumdum buffs the fire DoT too.

latent star
#

If you're doing a slower recon with less spread and medium and close range only getting constant headshots is easier

drowsy perch
#

like ive used this build on havoc and its pretty damn good

latent star
hybrid plover
#

Making it better for crushers for the most part

#

Dumdum increases the actual damage value.

latent star
#

I think it's a bit better into maniac and unyielding and maybe flak too

#

Don't remember fire dot adm off the top off my head

hybrid plover
#

Not enough to be really noticeable for flame DoTs tbh

hollow ibex
#

onslaught doesn't help fire DOT except for crushers

hybrid plover
#

But yeah about headhunter

hollow ibex
wild vortex
hollow ibex
#

we've all seen that type in our games

hybrid plover
#

The main issue. Is that you usually will be critting before you'll ever see the full benefit of it in the first place.

hollow ibex
#

because you're not going to be shooting at mauler heads

#

so you can't even proc HH

hybrid plover
#

Because once you crit, you lose stacks.

wild vortex
hybrid plover
#

And it resets on every crit you make.

#

Which make headhunter kind of a trap blessing

latent star
#

You would need to calculate %weakspot hits and how much more damage you get from the extra crits and faster infernus but I'm pretty sure dumdum comes out comfortably ahead on damage and probably similar for ammo

hybrid plover
#

It doesn't actually do what you'd think it can do because vet's innate ability to crit often just defeats its purpose.

latent star
#

Also variable for your crit when firing but headhunter isn't good enough to merit an excel sheet atm

hollow ibex
wild vortex
#

wouldn't have happened if he didn't respond to every single thing with "nuh uh"

hybrid plover
#

This ain't even like a meta thing. It's just that the blessing in question is just

#

Actually not useful for even what one would think it's useful for.

latent star
#

I should hop over to Hive Scum chat and ask about needle blessings, get some real madness started.

hybrid plover
#

I could tell you.

latent star
#

Oh I know

hybrid plover
#

Stripped Down and Run n' Gun are the only real choices chadgryn

wild vortex
#

hey Stripped Down is nice!

hybrid plover
#

|Not actually but those are my preferences.|

hollow ibex
wild vortex
#

you can actually charge a gun line with it

hollow ibex
#

unironically

latent star
#

Desperately getting a specialist to 1© HP so I can get toughness on my needle kill

hollow ibex
#

i mean what else are you going to run

latent star
#

Stripped Down on a class like Hive Scum is legit good IMO

wild vortex
#

I actually run Riposte with Stripped Dwon

#

because why not

hybrid plover
#

Desperado (why the fuck are there three different things with the same name) is also pretty good.

#

And the one that gives crit on melee that I forgor the name of 💀

hollow ibex
#

Desperado?

hybrid plover
#

The blessing

#

Not the ability.

wild vortex
#

I find it unbelievably stupid that guns have blessings that reward you for meleeing someone with the gun

#

like who the fuck thought that was a good idea

hollow ibex
#

i forget that's a thing

hybrid plover
wild vortex
latent star
#

Throw your gun at someone when out of ammo like a real soldier.

hybrid plover
#

If you run a build constantly going back and forth between melee and ranged, it's actually a decent idea.

wild vortex
#

I have heard talk about helbore bayonet spam being a thing

#

once upon a time

latent star
#

Does DoT damage calculate only when inflicted or does the damage update every tick if your +damage / rending changes?

hollow ibex
#

it does update

drowsy perch
#

always

#

recon las got no recoil

#
  • perk that uses stamina for better aiming
candid agate
latent star
#

Wouldn't you just go immediately out of stamina on a recon with Deadshot?

silver patrol
#

oh hell no, deadshot

hollow ibex
#

maulers have carapace heads

silver patrol
#

and plasma gunners

drowsy perch
#

also i need to swap the 25 flak to carapce

hollow ibex
#

pls don't

drowsy perch
#

no fucking idea why i have 25 to flak on it

silver patrol
#

god don't do that

hollow ibex
#

i strongly advise you

#

to test shooting at mauler heads vs. mauler bodies

#

with recon las

#

in the psyk

candid agate
#

because flak armour is a very common armour type and carapace armour is that strong against ranged weapons

hollow ibex
#

before you make a decision

drowsy perch
#

yea however

#

more crits on head

#

its funny infinite ammo build

hollow ibex
#

we got temu hive scum

silver patrol
#

bro is your objective to kill enemies or to get only crits

drowsy perch
candid agate
#

your melee also has infinite ammo and it does way more damage to carapace (usually)

drowsy perch
#

this build is the closest to a minigun yet

distant plaza
#

||are they trying to stack brittleness so the other players with actual carapace damage weapons can kill it? staregryn ||

latent star
#

It's generally not a great idea to shoot carapace with a recon lasgun, if you have onslaught you can do it but it's still not a great idea just a less awful one.

drowsy perch
#

i should put onslaught on the build

silver patrol
drowsy perch
#

also

#

its fun

#

who gives a fuck about meta

latent star
#

Fun is meta.

drowsy perch
#

i'll do silly shit in auric/havoc and win

#

like

#

this recon las build

#

easiest havoc i had done

#

i just had to hold m1 and win

distant plaza
#

were you shooting the crushers with a recon instead of his flak armoured buddies and specialist friends?

drowsy perch
#

no i usually just use kraks for crushers

#

the video was just a demonstration of how much ammo my ammo has

silver patrol
#

i can see winning havoc 20 with that

#

it's basically just maelstrom

drowsy perch
#

ive been having some tough havocs lately mainly because psycho shit is happening

#

you wanted to play havoc 20? 2 captains, 2 chaos spawn, and a plague ogryn be upon ye

#

aat the start

#

also i really should put bomber/flamer resistance on my curios

#

i die to fire more than anything else

silver patrol
#

i should really use 3 wounds curios

latent star
silver patrol
#

i am NOT going to do suicide bomber psyker

latent star
#

Look at me. I'm the poxburster now.

drowsy perch
#

man

#

assault chainsword is actually

#

so damn good

#

with crit build anyways

#

i used to not like it

#

also infantry lasgun tbh

#

when you get them working they work very well

sweet coyote
slate valve
#

Okay the recon lasgun is way better for a gunner build than the infantry lasgun

#

Noting to self loregryn

drowsy perch
#

yea

drowsy perch
#

i built both stagger perks on the infantry las

#

and its really good

#

but i realized its probably doing nothing in havoc

#

so hmm

tall torrent
swift river
#

Finally, Cadian Sergeant man is complete

hollow ibex
slate valve
#

I like my support sergeant build, chainsword is so much fun KEKW_ogryn

#

I run chainsword and bolt pistol or heavy las pistol although I’m sure it’s not optimal

silver patrol
#

How could they even fix the infantry las

analog yacht
#

it's got a lot going against it. The most immediate one is that the flak ADM is atrocious

#

the blessing options are a touch dire, it's super headshot dependent, and the close range damage penalty is very severe

#

the sights kinda feel bad too ngl

serene bough
silver patrol
#

Maybe no recoil

serene bough
#

id personally like it if they rehashed the IIb to be a 3-shot burst like the scab stalkers have

#

then make VII the standard, and give the IX innate rending

silver patrol
#

So just make them the las version of the vigilants

serene bough
#

just one mark, the others can remain mostly the same w/ damage buffs

#

im a believer in making the marks of weapons functionally distinct

analog yacht
#

the effects of low ADM are kinda exponential. Like recon las has 75% flak ADM which isn't amazing, meaning you need to shoot flak targets 1.33x as much as unarmored. infantry las have 49% at close range which is over twice as many shots compared to unarmored

serene bough
#

dmg fall off is also nonsense

#

just make it do damage consistently

silver patrol
#

Damn, 49%

latent star
#

I think they need to decide what it is supposed to be before they can fix it.

#

Long range high damage? Helbore. Fast firing? Recon. Mobile on the move firing? Pistol.

steep pier
#

the bug in quesiton for the helm

lunar maple
#

Lmao wtf

patent moth
#

OH WTF

steep pier
#

XD

patent moth
#

LOL

lunar maple
#

And I was enjoying the visor bruh

steep pier
#

well

#

that happend a lot

lunar maple
#

I started wearing the helm cuz of it

patent moth
#

i was thinking like a slight small

steep pier
#

so that helmet visor was removed

patent moth
#

NO THATS HIS EYEBROWS xd

steep pier
#

and they made a different one for commodore

lunar maple
#

It originally didn’t have a visor

#

So I’m like

steep pier
#

lmao

lunar maple
#

I got visor cucked

#

Visor teased

#

I was like ooo visor I’ll change to this helm

#

Come back to my peepers

steep pier
#

the eyebrows showing outside the visor looks funny asf tho

lunar maple
#

They have a cool lasgun skin in store

#

In psyker tab

#

Old faithful

#

Bought it

steep pier
#

lol

#

i have that for my helbore

lunar maple
#

Fits the cadian look

patent moth
lunar maple
#

No they have to charge us for the visor

steep pier
#

xD

#

a darktide youtuber someone in their server

#

showed that to me

#

so i saved it to show when people mention the helm

lunar maple
#

I bought the helm and pants

#

I might get the chest piece but I allready have the cadian tanker gear so eh

steep pier
#

i have

#

blue and black krieg outfits

#

im waiting for the other 2 common colors

south river

Do BigDom's H40 builds on GameLantern work?

tame lodge

There's a shitload of these

yup they're dogshit

if you need buildsHOTE guide in the pins has them

hollow ibex
void dragon
south river
#

but I was looking for a Recon lasgun build

hollow ibex
hollow ibex
#

this is a hybrid melee-ranged recon las build

south river
#

Does the Recon lasgun still have a build for melting Monstrosities?

south river
#

or is that long gone

tame lodge
#

Therefore dogshit

hollow ibex
#

though preferably mkvi

void dragon
#

had some players with questionable builds stick together and make runs, even havoc ones, a breeze

south river
tame lodge
#

The one with grenade on the name doesn't have enough grenade investments

hollow ibex
tame lodge
#

The one with easy in the name has grenade investments

#

For smokes

hollow ibex
#

from a private window

south river
#

I can use the link but then it doesn't show under your profile link

hollow ibex
#

oh a lot of my builds are unlisted

#

bc idc about publishing them

south river
#

I'll try this recon one

hollow ibex
#

you can also move ammo to bring it down if you want more boss damage

#

remember to use melee for hordes

#

gun is for specials/elites you can't kill immediately

south river
#

Can Rashad be swapped for power sword or similar?

hollow ibex
#

yeah def

#

rashad's just easy

south river
#

Used to be easier for me

#

I'm less competent with the twitchier weapons now

void dragon
hollow ibex
#

unyielding because i'm racist against bulwarks

#

flakiac is a perfectly valid alternative

hybrid plover
#

the grenadier and plasma ones are fine

#

inf las gun is

#

eh

#

but i mena

#

that's inf lasgun so

hollow ibex
#

i'm not going to waste time arguing over grifttuber builds

steep pier
#

Lol

hybrid plover
#

what???

#

big dom's fine LMAO

steep pier
#

Not that

#

I don't mind builds like that

hollow ibex
steep pier
#

Just noticed the extra part of their name

stable socket
#

the power sword + plasma build is basically the same as the one in the steam guide with a few questionable exchanges... except i really don't think slaughterer is the play, sunder/bm is probably much better

steep pier
#

Their a lot better

#

Then mister e's stuff

hybrid plover
#

oh my god discord did it again

hybrid plover
#

But other than slaughterer, that's a pretty solid build

hollow ibex
#

even if it's normally a very strong blessing

hybrid plover
#

and slaughterer isn't even bd

#

it's just not sunder.

#

which is severely overtuned

#

but like

hollow ibex
#

PS is like a bread and butter melee

#

and he doesn't even know how to build that

#

yikes

hybrid plover
#

why are they a grifttuber though

hollow ibex
#

cuz i think he is

#

all DT youtubers are

#

until proven otherwise

hybrid plover
#

man that's

#

that's a pretty bleak outlook if ill be honest

steep pier
#

Lol

hollow ibex
#

especially ones that come up with dogshit builds and say HAVOC 40 TRUE SURVIVOR!!!!

steep pier
#

Then sirosky should be a Darktide youtuber and do better

hybrid plover
#

the builds aren't even that bad KEKW_ogryn

hollow ibex
#

people can just read for themselves

stable socket
#

personally i would go for agile engagement instead of redirect fire but that's preference and if you do less hybrid and more shooting i can see redirect fire being better (plus it does work on allies), the build definitely works

steep pier
#

or be like rawk

#

Use the build randomizer mod

hybrid plover
#

you're acting like this man is out here trying to sabotage ppl or smth

steep pier
#

And do havoc 40 on stream

hollow ibex
steep pier
hollow ibex
#

where do i say he's trying to sabotage people

#

i don't even claim tanner/mr. e do that

steep pier
#

sirosky do you use dueling sword?

hollow ibex
#

no

steep pier
#

Good

#

that's just a crutch weapon

hollow ibex
#

any vet that runs DS on my team is automatically assumed to be dogshit

#

until proven otherwise

#

and i don't remember the last time i've been proven otherwise

steep pier
#

I like to use mk1 shovel

#

With helbore

hollow ibex
#

shovel's decent at least

steep pier
#

Helbore can be good

#

But player dependent

hollow ibex
#

DS just screams "i can't horde clear for shit, and i need my team to carry muh ass"

#

on vet at least

steep pier
#

lol

#

My favorite weird zealot build

#

Double barrel with chaxe

hollow ibex
#

DB on zealot sounds like pain ngl

#

you have to actually reload the gun

stable socket
#

i run ds/helbore/kraks a lot in h40 but that's just because inferno basically single-handedly clears the entire map so nobody else ever needs to worry about horde clear

steep pier
#

Dueling sword is a cructh that teaches bad habits

hollow ibex
steep pier
#

lol

hollow ibex
#

i still don't respect vets that run DS tho

stable socket
#

oh it definitely is a crutch, that's why i use it

steep pier
#

fair

stable socket
#

so i don't need skill

steep pier
#

Lol

hybrid plover
#

at least you're honest

steep pier
#

yep

hollow ibex
#

do what you gotta do for havoc

steep pier
#

I've had fun with soul blaze trauma psyker

hybrid plover
#

i can name like

steep pier
#

Or scrier with illsi

hybrid plover
#

two ds vets that i've encountered that are actually good

hollow ibex
#

illisi is... staregryn

stable socket
#

if rashad breakpoints weren't fucked i would use rashad a lot more in havoc

steep pier
#

Deleting crushers before zel with ds can hit it

hollow ibex
#

illisi is very sad

steep pier
#

it's still good

hybrid plover
steep pier
#

It is

hybrid plover
#

gotta put that 70% free damage to work

hollow ibex
#

can vet rashad still hit scab bruiser one shot breakpoint?

tall torrent
#

yea

hollow ibex
#

oh yeah true with right side

steep pier
#

You gotta juggle more tho

hollow ibex
#

anything goes

tall torrent
#

it's elites that are worth considering

hollow ibex
#

i don't run right side that often because it feels too powerful

#

lol

#

(in auric/mael)

hybrid plover
#

you wouldn't really wanna run rashad without it tbf cuz it doesn't really synergize well with anything but WS for vet

stable socket
#

how many buffs do i need to oneshot bruisers? e.g. if i'm mostly left side without agile/skirmisher/desperado will i still have the damage with just bm/headtaker?

hollow ibex
#

yeah

tall torrent
hollow ibex
#

very true

steep pier
#

illsi with scrier

#

Is a blender

#

For anything other then a boss in melee range

hollow ibex
#

that's 95% scrier being busted

#

and hard carrying illisi lol

steep pier
#

I don't use

hybrid plover
hollow ibex
#

try testing illisi horde clear with no buffs vs. say deimos horde clear with no buffs

steep pier
#

The skill for dmg increase o scrier

#

I use the move speed one

#

Instead

hybrid plover
#

tbf the actual ability still buffs your damage

hollow ibex
#

well you don't need subnodes, SG by default buffs a bunch of damage-related things

#

and you prob have warp rider

hybrid plover
#

it's precog that buffs it to high noon

hollow ibex
#

i hope

steep pier
#

No no

tall torrent
steep pier
#

It has a node

#

That increases dmg

#

But gives you extra peril

#

I don't need that

#

The big move speed increase tho

hybrid plover
#

I just didn't know a specific number.

hollow ibex
#

because it's fun

#

sunder psword just casually getting 30+ cleave when powered up

hybrid plover
#

Can you hit anymore than that? And does it even matter if you can with cleave distribution?

#

it's too much, is what it is

hybrid plover

tbf that's not even the truly busted part of sunder

however

steep pier
#

Power sword

tall torrent
#

for most sweeping attacks

steep pier
#

Is much much weaker

hollow ibex
tall torrent
#

after first 4 targets u just do very little

#

cuz cleave distribution really sets in

#

H sweep profiles usually maintain dmg better into 2nd & 3rd

#

but after 4th it just doesn't do much

steep pier
#

at one point

#

You could get 9 swings

#

Per activation

#

Power sword is so weak now

tall torrent
#

mauler and scab rager are 10 mass

desert viper
#

I just don't want psword to slow me down to a crawl everytime I charge it

not to mention carapace just ending cleave

@hollow ibex what curio setup do you recommend for that lightshow build?

#

+max health +max toughness +gunner resist or other?

hollow ibex
south river
#

I have seen for Havoc a lot of builds using +revive speed

hollow ibex
#

revive speed is a valid pick

south river
#

but that feels like a pick for when things have gone wrong

hollow ibex
#

i don't take it for aurics/AMs, but for havoc might be worth it

#

bc i assume people WILL go down and it could fuck up the run

#

i don't play havoc much tho so maybe others will have a better sense

torpid grotto
#

even better in havoc

wild vortex
#

have you guys ever noticed this, my Arbitrator always has at least 4-5 curios on sale from Melk

#

but all my other classes always have at most 1-2

is this normal?

sometimes theres a bunch of curios available

#

most of the time there isnt

i've never seen that many curios in melk's before

he always has that many, just for my Arbi

obtuse elm
#

Actually the med or small is best probably

hollow ibex
#

it's preference (V is the best)

obtuse elm
#

Ye small

hollow ibex
#

V has the highest DPS

#

though III and IV have better breakpoints

#

III does suffer from a much lower cara ADM than IV and V

#

so keep that in mind if you plan on shooting crushers

obtuse elm
#

What blessings do yall recommend for infantry autogun

hollow ibex
#

Check the guide

wild vortex
#

Why is this game so fucking STUPID

hollow ibex
#

The ADMs aren’t the same

#

I mean it might not matter depending on how you use it anyway

#

By its further proof that V is superior 🙂‍↕️

hollow ibex
wild vortex
hollow ibex
#

I’m memeing

#

I haven’t tested breakpoints

wild vortex
#

Shoots really fast when Weight of Fire gets going

hollow ibex
#

But presumably iii has better breakpoints

#

Esp havoc

wild vortex
#

I found III to be a good balance

hollow ibex
#

For one shotting non ogryn elites

wild vortex
#

But I'd rather use V over IV if I had to

hollow ibex
#

IV is very funny tbf

#

And you can use uncharged partial shots a lot

obtuse elm
hollow ibex
#

Or unyielding crit

obtuse elm
#

Crit chance or damage?

tame lodge
#

Also it's the best one

#

Because

#

Big damage brain happy

wild vortex
#

I didn't like the swap and readying speed

Because I'm not autistic enough to memorize the cancellation patterns or whatever

obtuse elm

Also best blessings/perks on helbore?

mortal horizon
#

im using 5 right now, just died sad but first death, doing ok? idk, build feels a lil awk but i may not be running it ideal, i tried MF

#

i was having ammo issues despite surgical etc

#

i didnt run out but

#

i needed pickups was in orange by event

#

that normal? people say it has "infinite ammo" but i def was burning throughb it slowly

#

letting surgical stack fully each shot felt too slow

# mortal horizon that normal? people say it has "infinite ammo" but i def was burning throughb it...

very roughly speaking: mk5 helbore has close to 200 charged shots worth of ammo, so each survivalist proc gives you enough for ~2 shots. if you shoot as fast as you can, surgical is something like +20% crit chance, so you're around 30% crit chance total which means you can shoot ~2.5-3 times every survivalist proc and be ammo neutral. there are also crit chance talents like reciprocity that can give you even more crit

often you'll shoot more than this and slowly consume ammo, but you run out of ammo much much slower than other non-lasguns which is what people refer to when they say "infinite ammo"

mortal horizon
#

i DID have trouble keeping exe stance up

#

often reload would kill it

#

might be building for the gun wrong / slight skill issue on headshot consistancy etc

stable socket
#

if you take the 8s node that highlights ogryns you should be able to chain it as long as there are elites/specials to kill, 8s is a long time

mortal horizon
#

i think i need WoF instead of sustained fire

#

oh

#

i took human sized enemies

#

derppppppp

stable socket
#

that works too but like you mentioned sometimes reload is kinda long or you need to pull out your melee for a bit

#

so generally i prefer the 8s node, especially in higher difficulty where there's no shortage of elites/specials

mortal horizon
#

i also wasnt running any reload speed talent idk

#

i fucked it all up

#

still did ok tho

stable socket
#

also good QOL for lights out or rotten armor because you can see crushers approaching in the darkness/through the green fart gas

mortal horizon
#

do i want exhilerating takedown

#

or is confirmed kill enough

stable socket
#

uhhhhhh

#

the fewer top nodes you can get away with the better

#

cuz a lot of vet damage is further down in the tree

#

i think

mortal horizon
#

also wonder if ill notice the breakpoint difference without sustained fire, and i should try not swapping to WoF and first just try the ogryn talent + reload

mortal horizon
#

ill try without

stable socket
#

i've given up on breakpoints with mk5 because 1) with weight of fire it shoots really really fast 2) stimms and pus-hardened skin already fuck up the breakpoints

#

i just shoot until i see the kill indicator

mortal horizon
#

ya i played a pus hardened just now

#

was miserable

#

bad modifier to try it on first time

stable socket
#

imagine playing it with a gun that uses ammo

#

i played one pus hardened with plasma... the gun is already ammo-hungry in good situations

#

it still worked but it wasn't great

mortal horizon
#

not sure what i drop to grab focus target (or WS i guess)

#

figure focus target tho would synergize with helbore and exe better tho

#

drop reload speed? i felt not having it

silver patrol
#

how much do you reload with helbore

mortal horizon
#

maybe i shuold try it, i modified build maybe ill need to reload less

#

but V has longest reload so

#

maybe i drop to a lower model?

#

which keystone you think will work best for this? using shovel mk 1 decimator/uncanny

silver patrol
#

i think marksman focus is the choice to drop crushers with helbore

mortal horizon
#

cant afford the augment tho unless i drop 20% ogryn dmg

#

is it needed?

silver patrol
#

i think they are cool

mortal horizon
#

im guessing i need the rending node?

#

not much i can drop tho lol

#

kind of feeling like the answer is WS or focus target but ill try it without any augments on MF

silver patrol
#

WS is good if you switch between melee and ranged a lot, but i don't think you do that with helbore

#

since it has slow draw speed and needs to charge

mortal horizon
#

i kind of do bc i just love swapping to melee, but you're right its not really the theme of the build

#

FT feels natural to me

#

mark things, more dmg, better breakpoints

#

ez

#

i just am not sold on MF being good without its augments

silver patrol
#

it's 75% finesse

mortal horizon
#

alright ill try it

silver patrol
#

on a weapon that always crits

#

and has a strong finesse multiplier

mortal horizon
#

remember when it stacked standing still?

#

god that was so bad lol

silver patrol
#

yeah 2 finesse, that's pretty good

silver patrol
mortal horizon
#

im also opting into the as/bleed melee node, to make the shovel feel alot better

silver patrol
#

a bit surprised about that too

#

man, if only you didn't have to take that useless +25% ammo talent

mortal horizon
#

oh, what perks on the helbore you think?

#

unyielding, cara? or maniac or flak maybe needed for breakpoints?

silver patrol
#

Cara to drop crushers

#

the other not so sure, i don't think it needs flak to hit any breakpoint, you just kill stuff with headshots

#

prob unyielding

mortal horizon
#

why would my team in this havoc match not be showing

#

in recently played

#

damnit

#

ok now they're showing nvm

How does smoke grenade actually work?

#

does it just act as a los blocker?

stable socket
#

from the pinned guide:

#

usually you use smoke like psyker bubble

where you throw it down and stand in it and ranged stuff can't see you

I dunno if they've changed it

south river
void dragon
south river
#

Full of stupid, you can manage up to about Havoc 21

void dragon
#

had havocs that felt harder than aurics because team rush to die stupidly

south river
#

Havoc 1-19 is roughly the same as what we've already got

#

sometimes easier

void dragon
south river
#

Above 20 you then get a bit more thrown at you and boss spawns are more RNG

#

I've had Havoc 29s that went really smoothly

#

and Havoc 21s where you get Twins, Pogryn, Chaos Spawn and Captain at the same time

#

Above 30 you get the toughness grace period debuff and enemies get harder

#

I'm stuck around 29-31 at the moment

void dragon
south river
#

Once you're above 30 the team needs to be using voice and communicating

south river
#

it can throw in some weakened monstrosities

#

on top of actual boss spawns

void dragon
#

bugglucky i call it, also know as ObeseFish-ed

south river
#

if you get Twins in the first room you are basically guaranteed to succeed

#

because then you know they're not gonna be dropped on you later

void dragon
#

its quite funny ngl

south river
#

but yeh over 30, I've hit a wall on pubs

void dragon
#

managed around 35 back in the day, but i just dont feel the passion for Havocs because the modifires dont feel like "This is a mechanic that has a counter" but more like "This is a trainwreck of HP go punch it, there is no way around"

south river
#

right now Pus-Hardened Skin and Stimms is not such a bad modifier

potent talon
#

H40 wreaks my shit

south river

Pus Hardened Skin is really fucking with my FPS though

void dragon
#

so much Obesefish needs to fix, so many ice ages need to pass for that

#

me sad

#

because i know they will find way to not fix sheep

#

then again, Im a fatalist

south river
#

I think a bit like Vermintide 2 they'll just focus on other modes rather than properly fixing existing ones

#

Weaves flopped so they focused everything on Chaos Wastes

#

then Versus

#

so if they do add another game mode this year, they'll probably just leave Havoc to rot lol

silver patrol
#

I hope they finally add chaos wastes to dt

OH killshot ready.

wild vortex
midnight galleon
#

rebind the ping to T and press T before you kill any specialists

#

I made that mistake, if you did

#

nope wait thats focus target

#

So for killshot ready you actually really benefit from a heavy rof weapon

#

I used the Vraks Infantry Autogun and got many headshots and then while at 10 stacks got as many other kills as possible

#

I was also informed you could switch to melee once you get the head shots and the buff would refresh as long as you kept getting headshots, so you can do something high cleave like powersword

#

mixing up the talents 😛

how to get good with powersword?

rely less on dodges

learn how to block cancel

the charge block cancel push combo is especially helpful

mortal horizon

ya i use that a lot

how important is having the 10% as node for it?

midnight galleon

and penances

#

sorry

Atk speed?

It helps noticeably

mortal horizon
#

sorry ya the 10% attack speed

is the answer here to lose the 30% reload node?

#

wanting to do the revolver/powesword hot swap thing

#

feels like i should have trench

don't need weapon swap speed either

The revolver swap speed is already so fast that hot swap doesn't do much.

you dont need reload nodes bc ur keystone ones auto reload

# tall torrent I think it's the default pick tbh

The only reason to skip it would be if you intend to basically sit in ranged almost 100% of the time. Which is sometimes viable on Helbore, but the draw speed on the rifle is real bad so the talent is a huge difference.

austere wedge
south river
#

but some maps cause players to shit the bed entirely

#

one of the main reasons I've been playing the FatMangus Zealot exclusively in Havoc for weeks now is that eventhough I'm not the best player and I'm not reliable to clutch if overwhelmed, I can reliably use Shroud/stealth to res the team if everyone else gets wiped and I have some kiting space

#

but then you get into matches where some players just seem to have no idea what is going on at a basic level; they don't funnel enemies into chokepoints, they don't stay inside psyker bubble at all, they ignore priority targets (I've been on teams where 2 players will leave to fight other random enemies during Twins fight so either I or usually psyker end up getting focused by melee twin with no help), etc

hollow ibex
narrow frost
#

Yeah

austere wedge
tidal fox
#

not 1 bullet

#

depends on the weapons they got

austere wedge
#

well roughly

tidal fox
#

and also in harder missions more elites spawn

#

so that effect is always occuring every 5 secs pretty much

#

over a minute youre getting 12% ammo fulfilled every minute pretty much
