and the beauty of 1 is
it's braindead
see a crusher? light spam
see a horde? light spam
see a boss? you get the idea...
Is s2 moveset that bad?
What's the best dump stat for a power sword? Mobility or cleave?
yes because it relies on heavies
cleave target
and heavies on falch
are totally dogshit
not the falchion, just power sword
because fatshart doesn't know how to balance the game for shit
yeah i was talking about PS
oh that part's about falch
but actually it's pretty much the case for PS too
so that works 
lmao works for me
do yall prefer the dueling sword or power sword? im just trying out random stuff while i learn vet
Duelling
powersword has great cleave when dealing with a lot of carapace
duelling is more of a single target thing with bad cleave
dueling stab heavy feels pretty strong yeah
especially with weapon specialist
but generally powersword is very strong
it's just slow
and higher skill floor than all melee weapons for vet I would say?
Wait wait
So your telling me
The mark that’s with more heavy damage
Is better for light spam
And the mark with more light damage is better for heavy spam?
just check pinned guide
well it's not heavy spam
I’m just trying to see the pros and differences between each
it's a normal moveset which incorporates lights and heavies
which naturallly makes it worse
because that means the moveset is contaminated by the very slow heavies that falch gets
which decreases your damage output overall
this is on the old crusher hp but with mk1 your ability to chain light / push attacks so rapidly
completely offsets the damage bonus from heavies
I like my generalists
So I like power sword more
mk1 is easier to use
but neither is that good

has anyone else just lost all motivation to play darktide
no update & bad event
hi Madeline
nah its not the lack of updates or shit events
im just sick of playing a game owned by such a comically greedy company
idk, idt my gameplay is affected by the mtx store
because I wouldn't call the two DLC classes greedy really
but then again this game stopped me playing warframe after playing that for 12 years, so I've lost all motivation to play one game at least
core gameplay just stopped being satisfying there, where I always feel satisfied queuing up any auric game here
what happened now
killed the best helmet in the game and turned it into a paid cosmetic
I thought they'd own it like they did with the cross-class head cosmetics for arbites
but it was prob too similar to the paid
even if its a bug its scummy and underhanded as fuck to immediately turn it into a paid cosmetic
especially when it looks the exact same
i doubt a single person ever complained about the free helmet looking too cool lmao
Thing is, that could have been already made and someone just messed up and added the lens to the free thing due to spaghetti code and likely incode naming.
yeah whatev
the cosmetic being made was scheduled before the bug occured, it's a bad situation but it is what it is
Why is this a surprise to some people when this has a theme since game release 
Including the shop treatment
newer players get baffled
I mean
Anyone who isn't desensitized to it should be baffled
it's not a nice strategy for the consumer
Maybe a sense on entitlement?
I tried ilas
why does it suck so bad compared to other guns
or maybe im the problem
laspistol feels like a superior ilasgun 🤔
Because it is.
Literally what everyone suggest if someone says they like the Inf Las is for them to try the fast mark of the laspistol.
Because it is

Except for like
Maniacs or something
Even masochists must surrender to the truth: the most iconic weapons of the setting are quite meh in the best cases
Honestly, the inf Lasgun needs an entire new special to be relevant against it's Lasgun peers, it just doesn't fill a niche the others don't do already
Passive charge mod is a game changer for the helbore
True, being able to go back to clicking heads with the sniper gun is so good (idk why the concept of releasing to shoot was used to begin with).
We should get a new class thats just like one of the catlyon abb humans
Cats from Cats
Not new class
Like background
For vet
Tuff
I just wanna have an excuse to yell NYA at the top of my lungs mid match 😭 😭 😭
Just do it
Professional canonically barks
Cutthroat canonically growls
Loose Cannon
@unreal nova sorry for the ping i totally knew i had the clip. i fucked up bad not seeing it;
it wasn't pinged at any point and audio-wise i could mostly only hear the burgle at the time iirc. i only realized visually with the frozen effect on the camera
but im not actually sure how i killed it here tbh lmao. it just kinda gave up
when it stood up i literally yelled 😭
"GYAAAAA shit 😭"
You staggered the host into a chasm
So its instakilled
lmao get hole'd idiot
Floating demon dies to fall damage 
Nothing, not even the warp demons, can match the power of the greatest evil that is gravity
releasing to shoot goes against 26 years of fps experience in my case
Unchallenged, undefeated, undeniable
Even Fromsoftware bosses crumble beneath him
By the Emperor, I'm a miserable Veteran. I can barely survive Hersey. Y'all are just built different or something.
yes




Why are power swords used, but falchions are not? They seem similar enough
power sword is legit top 3 melee weapons in the whole game
Yeah, I can definitely see that, but im wondering about the falchion
Falchion is <half of power sword’s dps
Less than the rashad while needing to manage the heat minigame
I mean, on base they're about the same, but the blessings are what sets them apart (power sword blessings are fucked up).
Is crazy how power cycler makes the Psword so busted beyond understanding
Without it it would be so inconsequential
shit basically causes space and time collapse in on itself with sheer dps
i mean power cycler is the thing that makes it not trash
Well...maybe not, but not as bad
trve, without power cycler it would be dreadful.
Its more amazing to me that they designed the powersword to be best in class for 1 swing and utterly laughable and bad when uncharged
originally it had more than 1 powered swing at base right?
now its more like they tried to balance it by making it require power cycler
which didnt work lmao
I wish it took the SM2 approach where activating changes moveset
Or at the very least the weapon was serviceable without charging and the charge mechanic had a cooldown but hit even harder than it does now
It was supposed to be like the heretic captains, one swing supercharged, but the issue is that the base damage is depression inducing
sm2's approach is flawed cause the changing moveset dont matter
u just spam power rakes and power waves
but yes good concept
Are you kidding me
lol
waiter, I require 1 mil more credits, please
It's literally unusable
Literally unplayable smh
I haven’t used plasma guns yet. What’s the issue with the stats?
It is 1% away from being a 10/10. Charge rate should be 69% and not 70%. Thermal should be 71% as it is
I see. And then have stopping power at 80?
yes
I like how sm2 has all those moveset chains just for all the melee weapons to exclusively spam 2 attacks all the time
@tired egret
me when my light attacks do 1 dmg
heroic pfist is like the only weapon where u can light spam
power axe has like
3 attacks
and it's the most varied one of them all
its unironically the chainsword
the punch is nice stagger
the should bash is goated
the double stomp is fun asf
the funny kick after first light is decent for stunlocking
dt chainsword left such a bad impression for me that I just don't bother with it in sm2
u technically only need anim cancel and shoulder bash but all of the attacks have their use
well here's the thing all the good attacks on sm2's chainsword arent with the chainsword xdddd
its still one of the most fun weapons cause the moveset involves your marine using his big ass frame
yea that's the only way to make chainsword good
"not use the chainsword"
I was actually gonna put "swap to ranged" as single target recommended combo for chainsword in my guide
well sm2 doesnt have the stupid sticky shit, it has bad lights 
considering getting BT champ in sm2
fun fact there's 1 move where u charge it and u sew someone and its only used for animation cancel 
yea ik
my beloved
it's the only szn pass 2 item I actually like
When playing sm2 i didnt bother with anination cancels or what not
No one will stop me light spamming chainsword or fast stance powersword
fast stance power sword is nice
I'd like to get used to balanced but block just better
I just have problem with how thunder hammer was handled in sm2
block is still the best but ive been enjoying balanced xenophase
actual nuke of a weapon
nah its good
once u get used to it
its a nuke
think I'll hold off on it still
deathwatch aesthetic is better imo
fun fact balance hammer rn has the highest raw dmg outside of 2 charge blocks
so it can be used a lot more offensively since u dont need to get 2 charges
It certainly doesnt feel like it
well idk when u played
At least in my experience
but balance weapons got patched this and last 2 patches
December
yeah u didnt get the buffs
In this run we use the Buffed Balance Hammer on Assault with a full Jump Dash Attack Build. The Jump Pack Dash(JPD) can now be used to cancel out of melee animations. This will allow Assault to play more aggressively while still able to avoid damage. This benefits weapons that have slow animations like the thunder hammer more than others. You ca...

u can do the exact same shit 
whatever floats yo boat 
doesn't balance just have more dmg than block outside of block 2 charge rn?
that's what im saying yeah
yes
but its especially important on hammer cause it makes u do less attacks to kill things on a slow weapon
but xenophase ps does less dmg than relic balanced ps
shame
doesnt matter caue the attacks that matter do 20% more
is the helmet for the Trooper Gerrent Juker skin considered the karsrkin helmet or is there a difference?
What’s the havoc “meta” for vet
plasma gun to beam elites from distance and power sword everything else 🙂
it is the kasrkin omnishield helmet
bugged & clips into itself tho
hey , a newbie just starting vet - is building for nades a viable strat?
yes
i heard plasma gun is good and i wanna get that but the other thing i can't decide on is the melee
i think basically every vet build takes some nades talents in any case
try the shovel
probably the best weapon for new players
using it rn.
decent at everything
the spike one
mk1 is the one that doesnt fold
yeah that's the one
Ive also seen that vet has some power weapons , they any good?
The powersword is the best melee in the game, maybe
the sword and the other sword i cannot pronounce the name of
power sword is top 3 melees in the game
the falchion exists, supposedly
falchion is ok
but we aren't sure about this
god i hope fatshark adds a semi auto to auto toggle
carpal tunnel on vet has been my biggest hurdle
i know i gotta get it
I havent played SM2 beyond the campaign
seems to me like the big draw of SM2 is more the mp than the singleplayer
the opposite of SM1
doesn't mean it shouldn't be made in the game itself
i'm just saying that fatshark can't be relied on to add the most basic functions
ever since warframe added a toggle like that i feel like it should be in every game
Yeah but
idk , im pretty new compared to yall
Darktide blows SM2 out of the water in gameplay so I never bothered
i have 50 h and most on oggy so idk
Fatshark more or less makes good updates, its just that youll have to wait several months
Roughly 1 update per quarter
several years
oh then im used to that
And updates will sometimes hit but other times feel lackluster
Ive been mostly in favor of the updates coming out
damn i thought it was worse based on how ppl talk abt it
Then again I havent played darktide in a few weeks so im somewhat in break
Disliking FS is trendy, but its also trendy for good reason
but this feels just like warframe to me but with like 4 less smaller updates
the cosmetic shop
i heard
among others
and i do not like that but ya gotta make money somehow
wish they made it in a better way but i understand
yeah but i thought the cosmetic shop's reason to exist was to make free updates
not also sell dlcs anyway
One of many reasons yeah
Im not bothered too much by these things personally
I quit for a year and came back to 2 new classes, new missions, new weapons, etc. and didn't even feel like I missed out on any good cosmetics tbh
Except maybe Vostroyan for the Helbore
Game is still fun
I was kinda disappointed in the Arbites because it plays fantastic but I kinda thought it would have some effect on the story and the only change was removing the funny inquisition moments of Morrow saying "ya gotta prove yerself" and then Rannick shooting someone
Like you get one intro cutscene and then they sorta cease to exist in the story in any meaningful way
I'm surprised others are upset with the current event because I've been having a lot of fun with it but if you've been waiting ages for new content and haven't taken a break it probably isn't too interesting
it's a rather big step down from the ration event
and the one before this was also trash
What was the ration event?
ok so
well, it had a lot of it, but basically the community was split between recovering rations (a pickup in the map) or destroying them
if at the start of the day, pick up rations side was winning, all the stimms were buffed to give you permanent bonuses for the map
if the destroy side was winning, all guns had double the ammo and infinite cleave
also most trash enemies were replaced with moebians
That's really funny but also how was destroying food making guns shoot infinitely
What was the one with the radio operator? That was fun
it's justified by the fact that destroying food means tertium rebelled for lack of food
so i dunno, you gunned down some people
Wouldn't you have less workers and less labor for the manufactorums so less ammo crafted so less to go around
If they're rebelling they're not working
no idea lol, it was a bit nonsense, but still
Tainted Airwaves or something
Funny event moment of shhh don't think about it is fine
i mean, if you picked up the food (it's tainted)
The thousands of ogryns and hundreds of poxbursters don't make sense either but it's still fun
I remember liking it
Were the moebians spiking their rations with combat stims or something
I can see a desperate Wolfer or a cult of admonition play doing that to try to get the average groaner/shooter to be more of a threat and then it backfiring hard
oh also
if the pick up ration side was winning, there were increased monstrosities spawns
fun?! funnn?! how DARE we.
if the destroy side was winning, you had mutant wawes
i think
good times, it was genuinely a fun event
The last event I played before I took a year long break was something about the Moebian 21st becoming infected and having a lot more flak/cleave values so it messed with people and basic hordes killed a lot of players in quickplay
that sounds just like the moebian mutator
I'm very down for dumb fun I'm just always curious if there's a fun story reason to make it more fun LOL
where the random trash is replaced by moebians and yeah, they alone are a pain
I enjoyed Pacific Rim and like Godzilla movies
I'm ok just turning off my brain to have fun
That Moebian 21st event was so funny because no groaners no poxwalkers just infected Moebian 21st dudes and I could swear it gave the average quickplay group more trouble than the Ogryns and Poxburster trains I've seen this event
Look away for 2 seconds and the Psyker is down again
yeah you can't just keep swining against the trash like usual, your can't kill them fast enough, and weapons like the knife or the duelling sword just eat even more shit against those hordes
the ration event gave you double ammo and infinite cleave on guns tho you mowed them down still
It was so funny watching people try to Dueling Sword their way through 21st hordes and get bullied
The new Dueling Sword parry is neat
Why'd they remove the quick jab stagger
because it was pretty ass
it doesn't make sense, it's just kinda ugly and a bit silly
That's fair I'm just surprised because Devil's Claw is already the funny parry sword
a strange slash from the top?
I want to love chainsword and I know it was changed too but when I need to clean up Carapace or Flak it just falls apart
It's still fun sometimes but wow it's not a good weapon for this event
Also yeah the Dueling Sword counterattack being a slash is odd
Probably just because it looks like they reused the animation for the devil's claw parry
And going from that weird lifted and angled hold to a thrust is just silly
Maybe if they gave the parry animation something unique that set it up for a thrust it would work better
I remember messing around with blessings, perks and talents to try to get a rev one shot on Crushers with it and it was doable but that was before Crusher HP got buffed
Idk if that's even possible anymore
i assumed it wouldnt be good since it's so short but the combat knife feels pretty good so far
2 revs to kill a Crusher even when you build around it and sacrifice horde clear is still so agonizingly slow
is combat knife ACTUALLY good at higher diff?
yes
uncanny strike is on it soo
basically most weapons with that are good
Combat knife is just good
It has weaker horde clear vs other weapons like Power Sword, TacAxe, Rashad Axe, etc. but it's a strong mobility tool and a good can opener. It's fine but you will sweat more fighting a mixed horde than using other weapons
hate it
having no clear when enemies are swarming is not for me lmao
it's not like it has no clear
I like chainsword just because feels
I like knife sometimes but you definitely feel it when you are slowly grinding away at a mixed horde
but it's certainly a much, much better melee than chainsword
then again, most melee are prob
I think shovel is my personal fav, not because it is one of the best (it's not) but because I love the WHUMP sound when it hits things
is that a zealot node
I like the 2H Chainsword on Zealot more than the 1H Chainsword
its purgation flamer
isnt that what kracks and chainsword is used for?
imo the chain weapons just need a buff overall
Infantry Lasguns and Chainswords need love yeah
oh i thought you were asking for zealot
Chainsword need to be less about that garbo latch on special
i have not seen an infantry lassgun since the start
I wouldn't rely too heavily on Kraks because you have to prepare for when you don't have a Krak grenade
all chains weapons, really
like i see autoguns more than them
even the revolver
like infantry lasguns , what are their good use outside of flashlight ?
I saw some iLas users with the Cadian cosmetics going SM2 NPC mode
But yeah it's just such a low tier Vet weapon and it doesn't help than the Laspistol does the exact same job better
im using the recon las to do some clearing and its working fine so far, not sure if im trolling or not
better job , more mobility
The iLas needs more to set it apart from the Laspistol imo
do you have the node that makes critical shots dont cost ammo?
for laser weapons
yeah
then should be fine
It doesn't have a unique identity other than weaker Laspistol with funny sights
i barely use that gun tbh
the ias needs more to set it apart from the helbore if anything
literally outclassed by every las weapon
Ewe, helbore
its a worse hellbore yeah
It really is
the sights are ok ish on i las
bro it has recoil
That's just because goofy playtesters said the Lasguns felt bad so Fatshark added recoil
i las yeah, weird how the high power charge rifle doesnt
or the pistol
but the infantry mas produced wet tissue paper model has
or the recon
guess thats why the guard dies so much lmao
yeah idk why the devs added it
when i was leveling up my vet
i can remember dropping it instanly for any other gun
no damage , no mobility , recoil.
only good thing is that its ammo is good
which is the same for most laz weapons lmao
Eh
Helbore and ias are several cut above the laspistol and the recon in ammo efficiency
so ammo efficient it's basically a waste, can't even fire all of that
been using the helborn and laspistol and i swear iv never actually gone into the red lmao
i've never gone below 600 ammo with the helbore
headshot for days lmao
maybe they buff it?
honestly maybe that have stats and see how little its being used
rly?
i stared when the hivescum came out
its been like this for years??
yeah
this bad
i don't think it has been touched since release
it was meta back then
the game changed but the weapon didn't
now its lore accurate useless
ive gotthe same with a gas mask. i love how the armor looks
Better drip than the krieg
I don't really hate the krieg, honest, but they're my least favorite regiment
Their fans can be annoying sometimes
thtas kinda why i like the Cadians. other than saying "Cadia Stands" every 5 min they don't have a "thing" that gets pushed like crazy. just badasses with purple eyes
I think its kinda funny how, at least in my experience, the fans of the regiment known for being arrogant and prideful are some of the chillest people I've interacted with in the hobby, as opposed to krieg fans for instance
Honestly, think the krieg would be cooler if they dropped ww1 and went full religious zealot
Like, death masks and stuff
I just never liked the Krieg lore "Oh, your elites rebelled against the Emperor and the military sacrificed everything to take the world back? You've gotta sacrifice your young people forever."
You mean their clone test tub babies? Thanks Lyons, thanks for getting rid of the best part of the guard
Heard the new krieg book was good, probably because Lyons wasn't writing it. Gonna have to pick it up when I have ready cash
What are the ideal stats for the infantry lasgun?
Take laspistol instead
Guessing lasgun doesn’t perform very well atm?
Infi lasgun is just bad
mob dump
or collateral
it depends
collateral usually a better dump stat than mobility
I don’t have an inf las atm. Going around leveling the gear I don’t use. My las pistol is just whatever I’ve got bc it needs to be levelled
first Pacific Rim was epic. The theme was fantastic
Las pistol is legitimately just better than infi las
Best thing about infi las is legit sights
yall prefer mark III or mark VI combat knife?
vi
Vi
it's just much better across the board
Depending on play style
id call my general playstyle "bad"
Are you focusing hoards or single targets?
vi is better at both horde and single target
Single targets with the mark perk for extra damage
Agree to disagree
it straight up just is lol
I've just had a better time with hoards with III
BUT WE ALL KNOW THE REAL WINNER IS THE CHAINSWORD
CHAIN GANG 4 LIFE
one day they'll make chainsword good in this game
It was good in sm1 tbh
maybe even this year
I like chainsword in sm² 🙁
You either used chainsword with life steal or thammer with one shot as assault in sm1 horde mode
yea that's like the only good iteration of chainsword so far
and the best part is, the 2 attacks that are good on it aren't using the chainsword
shoulder bash & stomp
Chain sword is the way
I didn't know they made more and it's probably for a good reason so I'll just enjoy the first one LOL
Also yeah the theme was amazing
I really liked how the jaegars moved like they had such weight and momentum to them
2nd one feels like Transformers movie
The higher in difficulty you go the more you will struggle to make it succeed vs other weapons. I've seen someone here claim they take it into Havoc 40 and I'm sure they make it work but sweat hard to do it
It's a real shame they never made a sequel to Pacific rim
Other weapons are just a lot stronger right now and if you like Lasguns go Laspistol, Helbore or Recon
If you really want to use Infantry Lasgun you can do it but good luck
It seems like an uphill battle on ice skates
It does pay off though
Inf las is havoc has been fun for dreg seeds for the rager and gunner 1 taps
Recon is what I normally use
There's Pacific Rim 2, no?
Recon is solid. I'd also recommend trying the Helbores. They're very clumsy weapons for the swap speed and reload speed but you can shoot Crushers with it. I've been doing an Executioner's Stance/Marksman's Focus Helbore build for the current event and it consistently 2 taps Crushers, 1 taps Reapers and Bulwarks on crit headshots
They collectively decided to ignore it
If you can get past the annoying learning curve of Helbores they're pretty satisfying imo
Is it good? I might go watch it
I just sorta assume that if something quietly dies and no one talks about it ever it probably bombed
Like Game of Thrones being such a weird cultural icon and then vanishing without a whimper after the fans hated the last season
helbore backline is actually much more chill compared to hybrid vet in h40
hybrid has to do EVERYTHING
I came back to Darktide because a few friends talked me into it
Yes if you're not a hardcore pacific rim fan
And end up pointing where it messes up with the lore and shit
Yeah and I can only imagine how much someone sweats bringing the Infantry Lasgun there instead
People can be hard-core about a single movie?
Idc about the lore it's basically just Godzilla but giant robots for me. Like all the story is fluff and the main event is the big monster battle
If the battles are fun I can enjoy it
How do you rate the battles in the sequel vs the original movie
infantry lasgun is same playstyle, just can't shoot as many things
That sounds kinda awkward as a backline support with your targets more niche
It's also about feel
I can't stand helbore but inf las reminds me of my fps days and rewards my good aim way more then helbore does
That's fair. Helbore is so much a love or hate weapon for how clunky it is
Feels like more than any other weapon you want a good cosmetic skin to make it feel less painful to shoot for how bad the default sights are
kinda want to play darktide but am sick in bed and my xbox account doesn't have the same builds as i have on steam 
nurgle kicking my butt today 😭😭
Double the darktide gamer then I am, only have darktide on 1 device
i actually started/tried the game on xbox first bc im on old gen so it was through cloud play and i didnt have to install it lmao
after i liked it i got it on steam bc im just overall better on mnk but i like my xbox for certain games like rdr2 and gta
yea which is why it's not as good
I just can't work with controllers with some games
I tried awhile ago and it's rough
Props to those who do play with them
Idk how anyone uses a controller in any first person game tbh
Or any game with heavy shooting
darktide is especially hard on the game-given controls. like you need to claw in order to dodge backwards and pull your grenade out at the same time
or switch weapons
more like
It's also bad because of jump/dodge being same keybind
get fucked controller users
I can't play controller on any game lol
you're second class citizens
idk any game that has custom controller mapping tbch
accept it
I tried Darktide on a PS4 controller and even though the controller was more comfy irl it felt painful trying to flick shots in game
Dark Souls and racing games tbh
I can't escape mouse and keyboard ever
I guess my experience is pretty narrow, didn't think that it was an Xbox problem
yeah basically 3rd person games and driving games
i'm sick sorry
Even stuff like Resi, Silent Hill, and Dead Space I prefer KB/M
You're fine ik what you meant
I play controller for Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Wilds because the person who designed the controls for console users was being silly
But for shooters I need my mouse and keyboard
i am on the hunt for a controller actually, as much as i hate to admit it
cause ninja gaiden on a keyboard just does not work lmao
you can set it up if you're not using like a default PS/xbox controller
I have set up some customization on my 8bitdo
best melee w/ helbore? ps6? (non-havok prolly, I don't play this game much anymore)
taxe7 or mk1 shovel in my experience
Taxe is fun
Not as fun as......
CHAINSWORD
Ew
It is simple
It is sturdy
And it will hack without motor or power
And best of all it is quiet until you get to swing it
It revs and it rips and it tears. This i know
May I interest you in the latest Gamesir g7 pro 8k? Or if you can wait, the Cyclone 3? (Do note, I don't get paid for this or anything. I just rarely see a controller 'survive' 5 years of abooze gaming. And I kill OG Xbox ones in 1 week to 3 months.)
devils claw is overlooked as a good safety option for this cuz of the parry and is good enough at hordes and nukes ragers which is p much all youll need it for on a helbore build
I legit forgot how good fun hellbore is
Do you have to hold down the button for those shots? If yes, then thats a deal breaker for me
its hellbore
you not gonna tap fire with it 
🫃
Pretty quick shooting still, i just hate the hold down button to charge firing mechanism in all games
Like id rather take 0.2s slower reload and just tap it when ready
Than having to press it down to charge
Give vet a melta gun and give ogryn a heavy melta. Make blessing that the melta ignore armor.
Also a blessing that crits at or within half distance cuz Melta X tabletop keyword
wrong don’t you know dclaw sucks and dualing sword is right there !!!
i am going to PEE your FUCKING PANTS
dclaw has the post parry block frames and ds doesnt
starting to sound like kez
also how many frames ?
like .2ms
thats quite generous when considering how fast you can parry back to back
its what makes it so extremely safe against a blob of ragers, as long as you have the stamina to support it
that’s a lot more than expected
Hello veterinarians
If you are on PC, there's a mod for it: https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/496?tab=description
Okay, that actually might make me wanna try it out finally
Never ever fired any of em yet
My vet has sadly ever only used Vraks IAG and Plasma
I didn't start using helbore until the class rework and ye that mod helps a lot
helbore 5 with the 50% swap speed node is about as responsive as it gets, iirc it also has the highest DPS thanks to good fire rate but worst breakpoints
New weapon could be something to get me into playing vet more, since ive returned ive played like maybe 5 games on it (thats total for past 2 years)
so i would start with that to see how you like the helbore life. if you think "i really like this but i want to hit better breakpoints, even if it means my gun is clunkier and charges slower" then you can try the other marks
Problem is i have like 300k, constantly starved on those to level new weapons to 20 and then crafting em
it be like that sometimes
So the more niche ones get ignored for now
yes but there is taxe
Honestly you can do without the swap speed note
So I've been trying to get better with the Helbore
Reading back up this channel i see i should really be charging it most of the time?
I typically just use the IIIa (i think, the faster tap-fire one) a lot since i found the heavier charge damage ones to not make much of a difference
Might be due to my weapons being pretty low level
Alright, I'll get used to the slower Mark then
weight of fire blessing also decreases charge time on chained shots
yeah i overlooked weight of fire repeatedly because i was like 'ehhh but i could get something else a bit more exciting' and then i actually used it and nothing is more exciting than being able to actually shoot things at an appreciable rate LOL
That was one of the first things i went for, chaining charges quicker seemed pretty good
If you jump you can see over bulwark shields and head shot them
Honestly I feel that for a melee build falchion dps is about equal to the pow sword
*when it is powered
i feel =! facts
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news dawg
I should definitely stop raining on people's parade
That being said
I won't 
do you use the pa + l on the mk6?
yes
because it's a two shot
pa + l l l
how can you be as fast with a falchion?
its only a two shot if you crit those attacks
Animation cancel
same talents
idk man
also falchion's range is noticeably further than pow sword's pa
so I prefer that
That's not mk6
Mk6 power sword is the one people use
Yes mk3 and mk6 have different push attacks
I completely forgot the mk3 power sword existed
I do want to try the mk2 falchion now though
lemme try mk3 later in a match rn
but regardless the falchion's kill times are pretty respectable
not a h40 build anyways
ok yeah the damage is insane though getting locked out of the power swings everytime you get hit by anything is plain annoying
falchs fun until you lose power
ok that was fast
Hope it survives the upgrade process
would be a shame if it was nerfed in the next update
I realized I didn't have one on this vet, I had on my other that I had to delete for my scum
but that took a few mil at least
but it served me well for the H40 I did right after
had been ages since I did vet havoc, it was fun
vet havoc with bolter is good fun
oh boy that pack master
“He is very fast for an Ogryn. Very fast and very heavy, and he will keep up with you!”
and he has a shocking prod. Oh boy I can't wait to be staggered by the hit
😛
amoured pox hounds
carapace pox hounds 
well not nerf as in the Pack Master can see your presence with his hounds
Is it a monstrosity or an elite enemy
NO FUCKING WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
roaming monstrosity
Oh its roaming
consider it a daemonhost that you're supposed to fight
Thats cool
I like it
I think the only other thing i can think to really want rn is a shielded scab or dreg, just with like a plank board on their arm or something - summin which tanks a couple melee hits
Db?
double barrel shottie
And it looks like he can smack my cyber mastiff around😬
Meanwhile four krak grenades in my pocket: 
krak grenades my beloved
yeaaah they teased the pack master would have something up its sleeves if you were to sic your cybermastiff on it
I understand sometimes running smoke nades but why would you ever use shredders
They're good for DOT
It's like
12 meters of bleeding
Add 2 Shredders and Uncanny Strike into the mix
And everything dies
And the usual bomber build is 15 meters iirc
That's almost ogryn nuke (16 meters)
oh sheesh
so I guess if youre running some weapons that are shit with horde clear you can just pick up shredders and be ok
Yeah
hey guys sorry for the noob question but i'm really scratching my head.. i followed two builds for veteran which i recently started playing :
- krieg hellbore guide (https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9e08cee7-3443-4279-a634-e3450b786a57/the-krieg-storm-trooper)
- "squad leader" plasma gun guide (https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a565016-bd70-4fe0-8c82-1080bc73412e/veteran-squad-leader), without "focus target" cause i hate working :x
The thing is, I realized in the current event that the "meme" krieg build is actually a lot stronger than the plasma... I can One Shot reapers and bulwarks in the head with a charged shot, and just keep on hitting... whereas plasma is muc hharder to use, i get one shots too, but not always on crushers... Am I missing something ? Misusing the plasma gun ? I get that its more powerful when the charge is high but still its hard to maintain ?
Second question : i see veterans doing lots of kills with one krak, when I usually kill only one. What am i doing wrong ?
thank yoouuu
yes i have this one 🙂
For the the second one, might be the grenadier talent that gives one extra grenade and a 20% chance to throw two at once while only spending one
it should be if we go by lore
oh ok damn, can it be used to be strong ? What should I learn ?
Or just the general aoe of the krak
plasma is a bit of relic of the past imo
Currently the best way of using plasma is spamming m1
healthpools got bigger and it lost its killing power
m1 / m2 ?
There's this slot manipulation system
Where you get the crushers to move
In a way they get too close to each other
For havoc tinkerer with krak is necessary
So the Krak kills them
M1 would be the uncharged shot
M2 would be the charge
You can forego tinkerer if youre running aurics
ok so spam uncharged shots, then vent a bit to keep some heat and the blessings working (rising heat / gets hot)
in the meantime my krieg guy is gonna continue to helbore those monstrosities ^^'
If you just spam fire the gun will auto vent for2 more shots
So usually its best to just spam M1 and vent when there's downtime
I don't think rending is doing a lot for your helbore. I'd put that point elsewhere like more dmg to ogryns and bosses. And grenade tinkerer on kraks is for h40 crushers bp with bring it down...
playin lasgun vet for the first time and its so fun
what mark do people usually use?
Illas no? But people are enjoying the laspistol more
2b or 4
I use IIb for ilas but i wouldn't bring into havoc
I am weak
I am not capable enough to survive H40 in the current meta with an ilas
Back when havoc launched i beat h40 with the IIb because of ghost, that was nice
I havent played darktide in a month
Im hoping this update comes out soon
I would like to play again
helbore dumps stability right?
yurp
noob question but uhh, waht does this mean
yiss...got a 60 stability from just running stuff
It's their marks
Also sorry
7
Not 4
4 is the old name
idk just cuz
to keep you on your toes
One of the theories say that it was to unify the models and shit
But then you have some dog ass changes so the theory loses force
Like eviscerator 2 got renamed to
Eviscerator 3
mk numbers is nothing compared to what the psykers had to endure
Since they made Trauma into Voidblast, should have just kept with it and made em all Voids, like Voidzap and Voidflame or Voidpuff or whatever
void-puff-puff-no-pass-puff
void is so ass as naming tho
especially when using premium skins and you don't tell them apart from a glance
shoulda called it warpblast
trauma was fine tho
realspace is a void, the immaterium is quite the opposite
surge is a bit eh, but surge surge is peak
it was, I don't care for the weird renaming
new name can be shortened to EK tho which is nice
I mean a lot of ppl still call them by the old names so
its as other said. FatShark didn't give plasma a high armor piercing stat on purpose even thought it was that on tabletop/lore
(it's actually pretty high)
It is
It just has shit finesse
Finesse is really what makes helbore kill crushers
It's also ammo economy. Shock Trooper with Surgical makes Helbore free to fire but Plasma will run itself dry if you're trying to shoot Crushers with it on this event
yeah if I can't get close to a monstrosity, I try to aim for its head or a weak spot like the pustule on back of chaos spawn. With the plasma
the sights on the MK IV helbore is so ass
is there a skin in game or mod that changes it
iirc, the vraks skin is better than default sights
this helps
but using mods on irons is kinda a pain
alternatively, you can buy one of the p2w skins
like vostroyan
Looking for 3 zealots.
zealot one channel down :]
guh
hot lonely zealots in your area
This zealot will make you pray in 30 seconds
is fullbore or manstopper better for the db shotgun?
Manstopper>>>>
is that just because of the bonus cleave?
It's infinite cleave
So yeah
manstopper specifically gives infinite cleave
DB on vet is always flechette manstopper
no reason to run anything else
and flakiac
@hybrid plover is game netcode fked rn
I just rubberbanded 4 minutes straight in mourningstar with my friend
either both our internet providers fked up or FS servers are on crack rn
Had a "crash" last night during havoc but it was two of us that crashed at the same time
Not an error code
Full on game crash
And this happened to me with @sonic kayak too a while back
Also. Tried to slide towards a fodder gun last night and went down to 19 health cuz they hit me in my frames
It's not happening all the time but there's definitely an inconsistency
This game is struggling rn
Ditto
no
bord
😭
Im starting to enjoy shovel + bolt pistol and weapon spec wayyy more than Shovel + Bolter and middle keystone
no
but it is the best scaling keystone for boltgun
MF is too much opportunity cost
WS doesn't blend well given boltgun's slow draw
Oh so at the end of the day, it is the best option for bolter
FT is also just, very good in general
Mf no changes at all
FT + RF is quite a bit more dmg for ur entire team vs enemies u want dead fast
Whats RF
Ohhh that one node, yeah that one is neat
what nodes are worth it with focus target?
left and right nodes
do you have any advice on how I could improve my build? mostly play havoc 30+
run weapon spec
you could drop grenadier
but overall build looks good
wait, why did you suggest weapon spec? also, without grenadier aren't you stuck with like 3 kraks?
3 kraks should be adequate tbh, but taking grenadier is also fine
i was memeing but WS kinda is stronger generally
really depends on weapons tho
I run mercy killer knife and plasma; is it better than focus target?
like is this the play?
oh yeah def run WS with that combo
also FT knife > MK knife
MK knife isn't that good on vet
you also don't need to take any subnodes for WS on that setup, unless you want to
so the last point there is really a flex point
what do you mean FT knife or MK knife?
what do you think i should put it in?
flesh tearer > mercy killer
pretty subjective
really up to your playstyle
grenadier, more toughness restore, plasma reload (eh)
Thoughts on invigorated node?
Don't remember it
Oh wait
Weapon Specialist node?
It's aight
Often not affordable though
I kinda want to sacrifice something to get it more often
It feels like infinite stamina,
Can fight the horde without thinking too much about it
Hmmmm maybe sacrifice the 15% elite dmg to get it? what u think?
Yeah superiority complex is droppable nowadays
Could but wouldn’t
what laser recon do you recomend for scream vet¿ since i have a bleesing that give bonuses for head damage i was wondering if maybe the one that has tons of bullet don't have much accuracy, but maybe with the other one i will suffer on hordes
pick your poison i guess?
vet's ability choice is not rly weapon dependent
i was thinking about the headhunter bleesing, would be more effective to play it with a more accuracy recon model?
all recon lasguns have the same finesse modifier (not that high)
I hav them listed in the pinned guide
hope falch gets buffed this update
thx!
what perks/blessings should I have on my knife if i use flesh tearer?
uncanny
Weapon specific. I skip on things like DBS.
But i also am addicted to the stam regen delay so 
That one feels niceee too
I thought it was a silly extra node but its fairly noticeable
Especially on weapons that use push attacks a lot like the knife. I can't play knife without it. Luxury node!
It’s almost always a tax node
There’re like 2 guns that actually would consider taking it by itself despite not going down further
what are some cool portrait frames that fit veteran
other than the ugly militarum-styled green boxy ones from hestia
I like that one
Is DB viable with taxe? Not sure how crucial uncanny is.
i assume one is the bolters, but what's the other one?
