Usually means have range on melee.
So you can hit them before they can even hit you.
Grenades + shout
Oh, I know. Been TacAxing on my Ganger. Trying to find a melee for my gun build tbh.
A melee that works with only the faster aspd on stam and hypercrit.
attempting my first ever solo of any kind, wish me luck
(and that my son doesn't wake up)
havoc?
and of course he wakes up the instant I hit start
quick question, which hellbore mk do i use for a DMR build?
lookign at the dmg and stuff i would pick MK IV but all guides say MKIIIa despite it having less dmg, why?
i do asume surgical and armorbane are the pics for it
ok, got 1 power cell solo at leat
though I had bots
progress
it would probably be easier with Infiltrate but I wouldn't learn as much
Never armorbane
Helbore Adms are too good so armorbane is pretty much useless
And if you just 1 shot everything, like Helbore is able to, you get no value from Armourbane
Mk IIIa has a rate of fire that's in the middle of all the marks. It's a lot more forgiving if you miss a headshot so you can quickly make a follow-up shot. You can oneshot a lot of enemies with it once you get marksman focus stacks going
what do i use instead?
Surgical Weight of Fire
i see
Personally I do like running armourbane on it so I can support my team during boss fights. Brittleness and the damage bonus from marksman focus goes crazy
Mk4 is the hardest hitting ranged weapon in the game
But it's a bit slow at charging shots
now i understand why, thanks people :3
Yeah, also be aware that weight of fire is a bit anti synergy with surgical since it speeds up your rate of fire
Which is again why I personally prefer armourbane. I find the base fire rate more than enough, plus it gives more chance for the crit to stack
Imo the second blessing is down to preference
Yeah, go with what feels best. As long as you have surgical you're good to go
this doesn't matter at all
to be fair
True, but it's more that I don't have to fight the ammo loot goblins 
no, it's literally almost impossible to go below 600 ammo in any case
I’d argue unless you’re insane enough to do it more for team support but like…
Helbore just nukes things
Yeah that's the problem with Armourbane
That's me, I always pick the team support option when given the choice
It's on a weapon that is too good at 1 shots
gestures name
Mk V feels a lot like what a regular infantry las should feel like
Also weight of fire on mk V is hilarious, give it a try if you haven't yet 
It's not optimal but dear lordy does it get absurd
dead things can't hurt the team? 👀
What's up, rejects?
what's the best melee weapon for hordes to use while ure using executioner with laser recon?
inb4 power sword 6
thanks!
Do smokes mess with all enemies or are there some that can still track you through it?
👍
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
impact smoke when
impoke
smoke should be a secondary grenade that vets have tbh
lowk might make him top 1 class ngl
Make it a little worse tho
Or you know they can just give the improved grenades perk for free
To vet
Yes we should give vet what is essentially a better bubble shield to have as a baseline blitz

I think vet is in a fine spot rn tho ngl ngl
maybe tune up/down some weapons (esp ps6) and he's good to go
Make it a little worse tho
Who genuinely takes smoke
Ive never seen anyone take smoke
havoc players
🪳
Was it that streamer
Armor, forever the issue
TRUE. You can just use recon las and onslaught for armor.
It wasnt instantly killed so that means someone was throwing
We need regen on rockets
There are people on this planet that actually think this
pls don't, there's people here that will read that unironically
I'm one of them 😈
hey. Im fresh off the training lines of Kreig, looking for some more corpsmen to join, in a veteran class squad in a mission or two if anyone's down?
.....did you just say Krieg?
Hush now
Its viable

how about clubbing crushers to death with a profane heavy sword?
I just kite them in circles on my zealot and yell "for the emperor" and related preachings a lot until they die of nuisance
ykno i had to make a shotgun specific class but with agrinappa or whatever its pretty damn good
got the biggest mag i could so 17 shots that can do like 1.2k-4k
whats the meta these days? i havent played in forever and just stole the squad leader off of darktide.gameslantern.
Guide in pins has recommendations
what ranged goes good with weapon specialist?
A lot of them
The ones that shine brightest are Double Barrel, Revolver, and Bolt Pistol
But any single shot breakpoint or low mag weapon does well
I run agri combat shotgun with weapon spec and it does great
the agri shotgun has been shining lately 
ohh okay thank you 🙂
could anyone share a giga havoc 40 vet build please?
also, is there any really good builds using any shotguns or are people mostly using plasma gun
havoc build in the pins
DB's a pretty common pick
you just need a WS build, like in the pins
ty ty
It's not games lantern that's for sure 💀
anyone got a helbore lasgun build i can steal?
Pinned guide
Closest is enforcers
does it not matter which hellbore
mrk i use?
Not really
V is highest dps
IV is the hardest hitting ranged weapon in the game
III is pretty solid middleman
they all work relatively the same but diff charge speed and damage
also diff special action (which is melee)
the strongest one is more of a delayed swing while the other 2 are stabby stabs
IIIa feels nnice tbh, IV is too slow and V is just a little under for damage I want
you can get pretty fast if you build the blessings
er
pick the blesssings
theres one that lowers charge time on chained charge shots
if u dont wanna run that tho yea
surgical chain of fire my beloved
Recommend las pistol build for practice lel
it sjust very strange with helbore
its shape/sight is just very weird
like i can chain headshots like a madman with revolver
but helbore? shits hard to aim
The sights are crap, mod it
Weapon Customization mod is probably the single buggiest mod to ever be uploaded to Nexusmods
hmm
should i crit build with agrinapa shotgun?
it does crit weakspot really well but
im running it as an allrounder build which seems pretty damn good
suppose crit is only really good against like bosses
it can handle everything else without much issue
even then its pretty good boss daamge
depends
if you're using it primarily as a sideram, prob not worth it
but if you're using it as your main gun, then yeah it's worth
crit's very important on agri
because most of agri's damage comes from finesse
and crit allows manstopper to do silly thinsg
ya i'm not super experienced at this game yet but my experience in vt2 was that crit was quite good on anything with a high attack speed
zarona but you can do the same thing with agri
Here finnesse modifier defines that
main gun yea
was just trying to see what worked
meme build but it's funny
also why does like every build on gmeslantern have the +stamina curios
i feel like theyre doodoo
compared to getting a good bit more toughness/hp
Because uh
Stamina is used
When running
Getting away from stuff
And blocking
Being though isn't enough, you also need to run away or catch up with your teammates
1 +3 stam on vet is pretty good. Really depends on your melee tbh.
Oh my god it's the anniversary armor
I am totally not buying it but it's cool that they have put this special armor on sale again
Is there any good build for havoc with the typical laser infantry laser( the tipical one of the astra militarum miniatures)
Recommend laser pistol instead
Anyone have a good vigilant autogun build for vet?
Cause they are; not needed
When you know how 2 micromanage it
just use this build with vigilant and use tactical axe psword or duelist with it
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a7f4ac3-039f-424a-a98c-3b57bba86bb8/abc-always-be-chooting
Thank you mate 
i think the vigilant was good only in close range tho infantry is a better all rounder up to you which you prefer
as for melee pick something to deal with armor/carapace enemies
Tac or Dsword probably
Hmmm
No field impov
I usually dont play without it
To support my nade ogryns
duelist mkIV just heavy spam also works and has very high survivability
#feedyourlocalgrenadeoggy 
Duelingsword?
i don't run field improv anymore unless its corruption in havoc and we don't have stim hive scum no need to
Hmm. I usually run it as courtesy to the random zealot/ogryn/hiver on my team that cant regen their nades. Since i usually only play auric/mael.
dueling sword unyielding/carapace with uncanny/riposte
Yeah, i have that. Standard
Also good shredder nade synergy
tactical axe is also relly good tho idk what is the best mk and what to run only leveled and left it
so new event dropped out of the blue
T'day?
and its more ogryns
I havent played anything today yet
nvm found it

i've been playing the invis bomber veteran its fun
it's really really fun LMFAO
endless crushers, bulwarks and reapers who also drop grenades and explode when you kill them
I've been running an Exe Stance/Marksman's Focus tree using Helbore Mk IV and having a blast
Imma try the vigilant autogun exe stance build someone shot me above later
I hope the carapace pen is ok
PLINK (blue indicator) 
At this point i feel like they should make it node you cant go around as always feels "selfish" if its not there as impact is huge.
Atleast in havocs, curing that chaos and huge force multiplier for all the classes with good nades
fucking hell
ran into a game and im getting damaged by teammate kraks
high intensity too
so there was a gazillion bulwarks
and i have 0 toughness because kraks somehow hit me
???
Most likely event grenades dropped by the Ogryns
no no you can't be hurt by team mate grenades
all the Ogryns have a chance to drop grenades on death
event grenades?
Yes there's an event going on
it's the fun new event yeah
fuck
It's brutes (Ogryn spam) + explosives
how did i miss the notification
actually there's none
💀
fucking fatshark does it again

that's actually disgusting
how many classes can deal with nothing but bulwarks...
i only have 1 that can
and 3 if i bring crusher i guess
I've had Psykers and Ogryns deal with it fine in my matches
also Hive Scum spamming rocket launchers to wipe packs
yeah im playing vet so fuck me i guess
I just use lots of Krak and Helbore Mk IV
also it was high intensity so fuck my entire squad in general
genuinely not enough grenades
oh hey, a fellow traumatized player
and then i get a player like this
also the ogryn player is spamming lights? on not branx
hmm
heavy yeah
as in heavy cockney accent lel
sigh
maybe i need to stop playing like a brain damaged idiot
but im a tired salaryman
yeah cus they're green like toads
Same. I always take it. Feels Bad without it. MUST FEED NADES TO THE HOMELESS (My teammates lol)
ah well
this mode is unfun
have to deal with bulwark phalanxes and conga line of bursters at the same time
Whats the rewards?
Amazing they manage to sneak in events without zero notification of it
the brutes event is fucing pain
are they just spamming EVERY KIND OF OGRYN
The Event is amazing, thank you very much.
No it isnt
Do you get nades back on elite kill?
Yes
Insane
There isn't enough nades
I expect to see a limitless barrage of ogryn nukes and hivescum rockets
Wait I thought you were talking about the talent
It didn't say that you get grenades back in the event
I might have been blind
You throw a krak into a group of crushers and get one back guaranteed
But im always running the talent so I didn't notice
Oooh i see
If it is what you say, then its a good time for me to do ogryn frag bomb penance
But otherwise, fuck this event
Grenade spam is meh
Yeah, I think is the best time to do it
You get an almost unlimited supply of nukes as long as you manage to kill an elite
can someone suggest me a melee weapon for laser recon executioner stance build
how about the humble shovel or tacaxe?
Because it’s strong
Can someone more experienced tell me why aren't chainweapons more popular? I see many melee weapons in rotation on vet, knives, shovels, obviously power swords, but barely any chain swords/axes
mostly because latching mechanics are really annoying
The activated ability thingy?
And the strikedowns on chainaxe
Plus chainsword is turbo dogshit vs carapace so that doesnt gelp it
Anybody have theories on when we'll see the next update
When the event ends
What even is the event
Does it also count for grenade kills
Reload the guide webpage
I updated some weapons sections’ format drastically
ngl i kinda preferred the previous format, at least for comparing the different marks
I started playing SM2
lol yeah i saw
I'm so sorry for you
not as sorry as the SM2 bolters
That might get old with rocket launcher in the game.
can anyone tell me why i have 4 dodges with a relic blade on zealot?
is there a talent that gives you an extra didge?
dodge*
Can u show it
its not on the blade itself its on my nnUMERIC ui COUNTER
but i get 4 full size dodges before my guy starts to slow down
so why am i getting 4 full size sprint dodges with it then??
The mod counter displays +1 for some weapons
Afaik the new value shown by the game is the accurate one (despite them not changing the number of effective dodges)
It’s weird
I asked about it when they released the in game dodge bar function
man how does Vet always get the best drip
best drip but lots of reused assets
Whats the secret behind power sword?
usually worst tho
I kinda struggle with it when trying to use its special
activate + block cancel
Trench fighter drills also speeds up the power up animation
Hey, how should I be using Infiltrate?
So far it seems like a “Pick Up Captured Teammates” ability or an opportunity to run past the horde and stab someone troublesome in the back—but I find that often leaves me too far out ahead or vulnerable when I come out of stealth.
Is it more meant to reposition? But then what good is that, if the horde’ll just swarm you in your new spot once you come out again?
there is a bomber build in pinned steam page 30% dmg you get effects your frags you just spam them
you can use it to do objectives revive or pick up dead teammates with bomber build makes your nades much better
I’ll give it a look.
How to play correctly with plasma gun ?
no charge shot have good aim thats all
is the plasma gun that good?
im aware its the current meta or something
but my current choice is the vigilant autogun (maybe i would switch to a bolt pistol or whatever its called in future), since it can quickly fire on targets and one/twoshots most of the ranged,flamers, grenadiers
i find it annoying that i cant quickly eliminate a flamer or something if its at a medium distance
Yah just quite boring
oh boy boy! IMPERIAL NAVY COSTUMES!
what level can you get the plasma gun?
16
ty
Double barrel is better imo and more fun by far
Best counter sniper in the game
And also very strong overall
Huh?
Why doesn’t my double barrel do that?
Good
When I use it . Shit can’t hit anything further than 3 metres
Verily so
DB requires a very specific setup
Weapon specialist
Manstopper and Flechette
Iv tried it and it feels like I can’t kill stuff from range
And then you store WS stacks for far away specialists
It takes a single pellet for a crit DB shot to kill a sniper from any range
Damn
Alr
I mostly used them close by to get rid of the bulwarks or gunnerns
I mostly used smoke grenade to deal with snipers
WS DB should be constantly firing
Use it for horde clear, specialists, soften up elites
3 melee kills > fire gun > 3 melee kills
It’s super powerful
And very simple loop
I wonder how many vets only play Dueling Sword and think the horde clear in this game is ass
Because man DS hordeclear feels like ass after coming from other vet melees
Mr E told me that DS is vets strongest melee!
Every time I use DS, I play it for like one game and then go back to DC4
I have a friend who complains every month about DS not getting nerfed (he watches E and Tanner)
🤢
DS is dumb tbf but it’s not particularly strong on vet
PS would prob be too hard for them to use

i don't like how PS feels still better than shock maul worst melee i tried on vet by far
i like PF tactical axe shovel DS
...PS is the worst melee you've tried?
Is this like
A vibe thing?
Cuz I can definitely see someone not liking it for that reason
no the shock maul
The way that sentence is worded is throwing me off a lil
abandonment of punctuation in texting and its consequences
Hello sir I would like that coat please yes please help God help me God save me I hate myself
chills
i'm so sorry
Don't be
can't help myself
though i found hegel to be...impenetrable when i tried to read his work
zizek is more tolerable
Me when Hegel says: but
Thoughts on Recon 6c with Infernus in a WS build? Does it get enough RoF to be viable?
WS with recon definitely kinda meh
Take FT and hose targets instead
Brittle also boosts burn damage vs tough targets
and you get less weird stares when you shoot a crusher with your lightshow flashlight
Oh nvm I was wrong, ft doesn't give brittle its a damage boost
my previous points still apply
what's the most op build for vet on havoc?
lol what the hell is even that
Probably which nodes are meta and which are optional
sigh
at least im getting notches on my frag bomb penance
i definitely hate how vague the event description is
what's Tactical Axe actually good at?
serious question I wanna know how to use it right
It fast and kills everything decently well
so just general purpose? Nice
any good guns to go with it?
Whatever gun you feel like really
combat shotty?
Yes
It's a safe low investment melee weapon
So it can be paired with a good amount of ranged weapons
BTW, what combat shotty mark is best? Oh also what's the difference between the 3 axe variants
look at pinned guide
Agri shotgun is the best. The axes have different appearances, attack patterns and I believe the antax has a different weapon stat. The Rashad is the one worth using.
He’s talking about tac axe
Antax trades finesse for cleave
O. Different attack patterns still but it seems most people prefer the 7 i like the 2.
Yea but 7 has ✨gold✨ on it😍
By this alone I know he isn't using a las weapon
whole squad of krakers, still mogged by shredders
Do the shredders have more range or something?
Frags have 10m blast radius and spread bleed equally
Frag is more damage than krak usually
yeah but there is a lot of armor
Good
I did a later with a kraker and they outdamaged me
More targets
You can also like
Uncanny Strike
Totally fair and balanced interaction
Krak is better if u can manipulate slots well
it was also archivum so stuff grouped up harder
but this one it was all me doing the grenade spam
I think frag is still usually better if u can afford 1 flex point into grenade
yeah prob, this is just my fuck it shredder build
infiltrator underhanded throws for the dmg boost is nice as well
Tinkerer is only for crusher 1 tap in h40
And a bit better boss damage
But usually u want to save it for ogryn groups
ye im aware
Frag with grenadier is more flexible
I have other krak builds
U can throw it to break gunner formations and blast mauler/rager mixed horde
like db shovel one
And still for stagger ogryn
Is 79% shredder 61% mobility good enough for the chainsword ?
I'm gonna go insane if I have to gamble more money at Brunt's
It’s fine
nah you need that -1% tbh or you cannot do havoc
/s of course 😛
not worth spending more of your hard earned coins
the power falchion sucks they said
It does
Don't look too hard at scoreboards, they only tell 1 story and its often not the weapon
Power falchion is the meta i understand the first stage is denial
🤡
im not allowed to? on whose authority
i mean i wasnt serious ofc about meta it was more a joke
Okay+™
🙏
all delusion is built on hope
High key. That alone would make it so much better.
Let alone it being complete ass while unpowered 😔
yet i feel i must comply
Did you send my picture to Khan @slow sky?
I sent it to a.a cuz he made fatmangus
Either he sent it to khan or he found it on his own
Cool cool cool
Real
still way better than mk4 tho
I still don't believe you
(I say with no testing done about the buffed mk12 lights on my part)
I also made that meme on my phone
I fucking hate the font ngl
it's just better in basically every way
ur still wrong then
more like, far too often
literal
yea, ur wrong then
💀
Mewgenics
I'm trying to figure out why the wireless connect mode on my mouse sometimes has weird lag
noe
I do
SMH
I really thought they were going to discuss pbb
It's just that
Gunlugger is kinda eh
#buffGunlugger
I might be genuinely dumb
I never realized that my wireless mouse came with an adapter that could plug into the wired connection (charging) cable
no wonder the wireless connection felt wonky with stutters
Eh it happens
I recently cleaned my PC
Didn't connect the Ethernet cable well
And played on wifi only for like 5 days
Before realizing
Anyone using this build can tell me where to put that last skill point
Or suggest me please
remove 3 points and get desperado + skirmisher + exploit weakness
you know what
Infantary lasgun you're alright
i dont hate you
maybe its just the way the wind is blowing or the lack of fulfilling updates
Ah yes of course
Using wrong blessings on my favorite gun
Smh my head 😔
Ahhh i’m a little bit stucked, i also love this gun but i don’t know how to use it in havoc, do you have any build recomendations? The only thing i want to play is that laser recon
but can’t play it propertly on havoc
how are people killing with the double barrel shotgun at range? i have seen some clips where people kill like one gorillion things at once and its at a decent range too
i tried in the meat grinder and i cant really get it to kill a rager if i dont put the barrel in its mouth
I don't understand. This is just a charging cable
Thanks Orcka, i used a few months ago a build you suggest me with autogun infantry and it works awesome, since there is no much description on the page, what would you say are the flak, strong points of the build? i always have tons of problems with the hordes while playing laser recon, do you have any specific tips for this build you share with me?
that cable can be attached to a black brick thing which can be connected to the wireless connection USB
Hmm the only problem I have with mine is when I put it on the back. On the front it works flawlessly without any cable.
melee for hordes, range for specialists
I love that we still get recon users every other day in this chat unironically suggesting shooting hordes because ha ha Shock Trooper
vet players thinking they're hive scum 😮💨

If there was any class that should be able to just shoot everything provided it invested the points, it should be exe strance vet.
DLC ammo perk for vet when
and tbf
you kinda can shoot everything with vet already
but it requires using helbore
or running really inefficient meme recon las builds
I tried Hellbore and I am not that convinced about its horde killing ability
but maybe I am just bad
nah vet is a hybrid combat class
it's not a horde kill gun
well yes, so it cannot be used as a shoot only gun
vet hasn't been the ranged class for over 2 years now
the actual ranged class is psyker
shoot only is not shoot only if it cannot deal with horde...
i guess maybe if the rest of the party is there to babysit it and deal with horde instead of it
you'll need your teammates to horde clear yeah
but you could literally shoot all game
so long as you stay out of reach of hordes
and the team can handle
it's doable sometimes even with pubbies
Sometimes I feel like the actual everything is Psyker, if you're good enough
Yea it’s the most op class
Psyker BB is the ultimate ranged weapon
Nope that's Psyker
🙁
Vet ironically has better melee stats with the talents than Zealot 💀
Power sword fucking melts holy shit
I used to unironically hate it because it was "meta" but holy shit I was missing out
3 shots crushers on havoc 40 with my build
all my homies hate PS
Yeah PS is bad and they should buff it 😎
PS mobility is godsfucking awful and the whole weapon should be deleted 
see PS is actually a really good weapon to learn melee fundamentals
noobs often crutch too hard on high mobility weapons
STARES AT DUELING SWORD
the funny moment when PS is a high skill ceiling weapon apparently
"just block and push occasionally"
it unironically is
that's the trick
yes, i don't like feeling my characters feet have cement shoes on 
in comparison to the other Darktide weapons, it is indeed a high skill ceiling weapon lol
fucking shivs
it's worth it to turn into god every 1.5 seconds
you're a Vet, you inheritly have cement shoes om
tacaxe, my beloved, disagrees
meanwhile fucking Hive Scum gets built-in 0.5 stam delay and something stupid like 500 stam regen
I want a rocket launcher vet
i ain't gonna deny the damage potential on that weapon is through the roof
laughs in Ogryn
most based take in the history of this chat
hmm. prob top 6 vet melee?
lower if playing in pubs
if it can take down carapace easy and give me mobility I'm aight
ps feels like a stick up my ass
although if there was a mod to like
make it active the special so I dont have to constantly keep track
but unlike the DS you need to actually put in effort
would be bearable
can you count to 3?
sometimes it's hard to tell if the swing actually hit something and counted towards the powercycler
you know because it fucking died
what?
and if it's not powered on, you don't do shit
if I can hear the audio cue of it slashing shit
hard to tell
having to constantly track that makes it so tedious just pass me the uncanny strike bro
it's very fucking obvious
i've been on this discord for years
and you're the first person i've heard complain they can't tell if the PS is activated lol
if you can't tell from the cues
I can tell it's activated
the fact that everything in front of you is dead should be a pretty obvious sign
that it's working
just not when all 3 swings are going through so I can cycle the special efficiently
although this doesnt happen commonly tho so it's not that big of a deal
being slow in pubs is just a death sentence
I just noticed that this thing's push is kinda strong?
do weapons have varying push profiles (outside of shield-bearing weapons)?
hmm
seems like a normal push to me
most shud be same
shield weapons have better push
in vt2 polearms had better push radies and shields had the best
blud chose violence
Hi Question: I would like to do havoc 40 eventually (im level 3 lol) I want to use revolver for sure, but what is the best melee to acompany it for all the hardest content in the game? so i know what to start leveling, thank you!
Power sword VI
revolver doesn't really scale well to havoc
hmm interesting, ive seen vids where ppl use shovel or axe thought someone was gonna say one of those XD
The only issue it has is ammo
It’s actually insane breakpoints
well it isn't popular at least
The avg havoc player when asked to use anything other than duelling sword
and it's an invite metagame
Is the plasma gun not great atm or am I just bad at it from taking a hiatus?
Plasma is top tier
what's the best way to use it
ah
Popularity has nothing to do with how strong smth is
I feel like the bolter is better in most ways though, other than maybe ammo use.
It’s just a reference
Like a bolter can take down a large enemy like an ogryn way quicker, and deal with hordes way better.
Aim at head level
Hipfire vs specialists (except mutant & hound) and ranged elites like gunners & reapers
I always find it struggles with accuracy against specialists though
ye it's the closest to a beam sniper we have
really?
we just don't have scopes so
bolters are usually more popular on something like zealot or arby
for mag dumping or occasional sniping
WS plasma is also a p good way to hardly have to reload during a game
yeah I use WS with plasma, mostly for the melee benefits with it
I haven't done vet havoc since before the class reworks tho
I see
not that I would change much bar using kraks
idk i'm testing the plasma gun in the psycarium atm and even for dealing with ogryns, which i feel the plasma is most suited for, the bolter just generally feels much better
higher RoF, high DPS, and the reloading isn't an issue compared to the plasmagun when you have to wait for the plasmagun to cool down
you know you can manually cool down plasma by using special right?
doesn't need reloading
yes but that also takes a while
That subnode is entirely an IQ tax, just learn reload cancel
yeah ik but the cooling takes about as long as a bolter reload
No, u don’t have to cool it till 0
I also don't really magdump with plasma a lot
I usually don't
Then it’s quite fast
You shouldn’t be shooting at ogryn enemies (outside of reapers) in general
especially on vet with krak
Why not? depending on the weapon it's effective at dealing with them
Are u missing that plasma has a manual cooling button
No, Im using the manual cool down
from 100% it takes about 3 seconds to reach 0%. Bolter takes 2 seconds to reload
mag dumping is more of a zealot thing imo
Because it’s a complete waste of ammo even for the weapons that can do tolerable dps on crusher (except helbore IV)
Again why do you need to cool down to 0
that's all the best blessings at
helbore can in general afford to shoot crushers with reasonable dps across all marks
I imagine to reduce how often I need to cool it down
but I missed that the plasma gun does more damage at higher heat
assuming you are using shocktrooper with it
There’s not much reason to cool more than 2 ticks manually
It’s a weapon you’re supposed to not shoot as much (and melee more) with
what melee would you best pair with it?
power sword
If u want the best on vet, there’s only 1 answer and it’s power sword VI
they're a v good WS pair
apart from dealing with bulwarks, i wouldn't waste ammo on ogryns
Bolter has just a slow draw speed and worse ammo economy
that's what I'm using atm
yeah the ammo is pretty crippling and the slow draw speed has gotten me in shit before
slowest drawing speed is really what kills it imo
wish the bolt pistol had less of an issue with draw speed
it doesn't
Na it does have a problem and they should make it even faster also randomly buff its damage like 20% 
and maybe fix that recoil
i really can't believe they don't know how to fix the recoil of a weapon?
Been using a mod that helps fix the recoil "snap" on the boltguns
Makes them feel a lot more natural

I know Vet is printing nades for himself, but is there any talent that broadens this to the team? I am playint the current event on HS and keep getting a single nade added to my inventory every now and then (which feels like it only happens whenever I have a Vet in my team)
no
except the talent that enhances the ammo kit
you are playing the new event which does that
I was wondering if you had a modifier there that does this
Is this listed anywhere or am I blind?
it's not listed anywhere except maybe hinted at in the event's announcement
that's FS events in a nutshell
does things without telling you
tho I think there's an icon in the buff bar about grenades
Thanks fam, in this case I will keep going and kill 8 Crusher/min with boom bringer
Whats the good melee to pair with plasma pistol?
Whatever melee you find fun and enjoy using
Alternatively, I dunno, dueling sword
Knife
That's the meta, right?
power sword VI
there's also no plasma pistol in the game so ig ur talking abt plasma gun
Technically Field Improv kinda since you refill everyone's grenades to full when they grab an ammo kit. If things really go bad dropping an ammo kit and feeding the bazooka hungry Hive Scum or the Ogryn for a Frag Bomb could be funny. And if you've got Staff Psyker(s) someone can take extra hit(s) off an ammo crate to really go to town
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a01e69c4-3e67-45e1-ad8f-710c3077cd9e/the-humble-guardsman can someone give me an opinion about 10 this build for havoc pls
i want to play some default laser gun and not sure what build choose to play havoc
not sure anybody would recommend the infantry lasgun for havoc
ouch
i've seen people playing that laser bayonette on havoc and seems like way worse gun for me, so maybe there is someone who is actually playing havoc with this infantry laser
it's literally better than the infantry las gun in basically every way
except draw speed
yeah that draw speed it's really bad, considering how fast weapon swap should be
Missing a lot of damage & toughness
Questionable weapon picks
is there any decent infantry las gun build out there for havoc?
Infantry lasgun is just like, disgustingly bad tho
Why do you want to use it?
I really like how it looks plus i like the laser guns but probably recon lassgun is much better
no because any decent infantry lasgun build is going to be using helbore or laspistol to be excellent instead
false
i've beaten h40 with lasgun
you just have to play in a specific way
it fucks so harrrrdd
it's
a laspistol with directly worse stats
there is nothing it does that laspistol does not do better
it's not an unusable weapon by any stretch of the imagination it just is literally directly outclassed
Maniac damage
Isn't laspistol less ammo per clip, less reserve ammo and less damage per shot vs the ilas or am I missing something
the laspistol has better finesse
so it does actually do more damage
also much higher firerate
you basically end up taking the no ammo cost on crit anyway so the ammo doesn't really matter
I think iLas has reverse damage falloff and pistol has normal damage falloff for damage close vs far right
yeah, that's another reason why the laspistol is better
oh it also has less recoil
but then, every las weapon has less recoil
Was staring at the damage values/ammo counts on the pinned guide for the Mk II pistol vs Mk IIa iLas and felt that pistols performed better in my matches but the numbers were looking weird
I only really like using the IIa for iLas for the instant sprint to fire and fast fire rate
It sorta plays like a laspistol anyway
Mk II pistol finesse value is 2.075 vs Mk IIa iLas finesse at 2 but it's the reverse damage falloff that makes the iLas feel worse when you need it to perform
Plus blessing of iLas Headhunter helping feed it crits vs the guide recommending dum dum + ghost or infernus for pistol but pistol has +15% crit chance vs iLas at +5% so
Id prefer they make the ilas IIb a burst fire to make it more functionally distinct
EStance MMF keystone I’d assume seeing that’s how you can juice Inf Las up to Havoc Breakpoints
did they messed up some of the audio ques for fodder enemies attacking you from behind? im getting those hitting me when i get 0 warning
Has been like that for a while, from what I noticed
@tall torrent there's a bp with longshot on plasma?
not really?
no gun in particular
any gun that isn't a pain to use because it has a small magazine
or painful reload times
are you saying it's the type of thing that makes most guns good
i don't see why not
every
"time limited"
time sensitive
I more so meant that you can extend it a lot with the right gun
yeah and i meant that for that reason, you kinda want to avoid guns which can go offline for extended period of time
to the point of having the whole ability come off cooldown
Helbore and vig auto are good options
Plasma can be funny for wall bangs
just don’t whip out the shot pistol
ES shistol would go so hard
shitstol
stop it
that shit is trash
unless you playing damnation
you/someone being able to use it well is different from the gun statistically being shit in more cases then not
i won't claim the gun is amazing
but you right i’m not making no build on that carry class
i mean it's not that bad
but it's quite obviously not trash
it's the only ranged weapon that can let you block sniper shots
it doesn't yeah
shistol with manstopper + scattershot goes fucking hard
and anyone who claims shistol is trash
hasn't built their shistol correctly
it doesn’t break it if your don’t have full stamina?
or plays heresy and below where manstopper is bad
that shit gotta be new because i’ve been facefucked by a sniper using that thing
many times
aiming
i don't think sniper shots really drain that much of your stamina
shield works just fine for me
i’m not saying it drains most of it
i’m saying in the heat of moment you get hit by it there’s a good chance it could cost you because oh idk, not everyone is a shot pistol god and knows how to micro manage
