uhuh

frank basin
#

they like railgun

tall torrent
#

plasma is not horde clear

tight cave
tall torrent
#

plasma is really good at killing specialists and ranged elites

frank basin
#

which is a single dmg dealer

tall torrent
#

bring a melee weapon for horde

frank basin
#

althrought they aren't good against hp boss

#

so don't waste ammo on bosses

tight cave
frank basin
#

but too slow

tight cave
#

uhuh

frank basin
#

horde soft meat walk faster

#

and it just come say hi you before you fully charge the gun

tight cave
tall torrent
frank basin
#

i used for horde so funfun

tight cave
frank basin
#

boss has thick health, they tend need dps'er not burst dmg

tall torrent
tight cave
frank basin
#

i foreshadowing the thunderhammer

#

but the plas dmg is like 1,5k

tall torrent
#

plasma is not rly a boss dps weapon

tight cave
# tall torrent what about it

i mean doesnt that make plasma just being outclassed by any weapon in the game? Bolter may also kill specialist and also do what plasma cant

tall torrent
#

not worth the ammo sink

tall torrent
frank basin
tall torrent
#

and boltgun needs frequent reloads, plasma doesn't

frank basin
#

plasma offer more rds

tight cave
frank basin
#

@tall torrent how many enemies pen through from a single shot mk2 boltgun?

tight cave
#

if its not horde clearer, why does it even need cleavage? Whats the point???

frank basin
tall torrent
#

that's where cleave matters for ranged weapons

tight cave
#

havent even thought of that

frank basin
#

you can score double kill specs if they lining up

frank basin
#

oh right plasma can shoot through certain thickness of the wall

tight cave
frank basin
#

they act like railgun

tight cave
#

daaaamn

frank basin
#

you can shoot enemies behind cover

#

but light attack is lesser cleave value

#

which is charge come shine in

tight cave
#

is plasma any good for sniper build or hellbore/bolter is better?

frank basin
#

sniper slow shot high dmg not worth on weaker specs ranged enemy, but the bolt and hel are like dmr type worth killing

#

idk if you are gun fan that dmr is fitting for bolt and hel

#

plasma can work like only light attack

tight cave
#

wait, with infinite cleavage i can pierce infinite amount of enemies until its stopped by carapace, right?

tall torrent
tall torrent
tight cave
#

or i got it wrong

tall torrent
frank basin
#

cant shoot through thickess wall

#

cover is acceptable

#

Sorry path but the patch notes say infinite so you're wrong trol

sly orchid
#

it was like a 100 cleave

tall torrent
tame lodge
frank basin
#

you need grass touching, i think you obsess with excel stats stuff in this game for far too long

mystic pilot
#

Yeah i was parroting Fatshark's words

tame lodge
#

No but you see

#

M2 explodes on contact

tame lodge
#

And explosions are infinite cleave

tight cave
#

excel is best thing that happened to humanity.

tame lodge
#

So technically speaking

#

M2 is infinite

frank basin
#

lorewise plasma is explosive gas lob thingy not a railgun

tame lodge
frank basin
#

fs make it railgun instead just wacked the weapon

tight cave
tame lodge
#

Yeah I have a bad habit of breaking sentences like that

#

Yes it's a bad habit

#

I'm not changing chadgryn

tight cave
frank basin
#

path being dataslaver for far too long in this game, i played Toxic commando without seeing nerd dataslaver around here tell; x y z this weapon stats suck, you need this make build better

tame lodge
#

That or poorly written haiku

mystic pilot
tame lodge
#

Ngl

#

Prefer plasma railgun instead of grenade like

frank basin
mystic pilot
#

But it doesn't keep going through multiple objects like a railgun might

tight cave

Toxic Commando is a different game

This is the scale on how FBC failed

They compared it to Redfall on that gif

i havent even saw this game released

it was that bad i guess that it was not worthy of drama

i hope they retcon firebreak by just saying they ran out of volunteers and thats how the hiss broke out

tame lodge

The volunteers ate the mold

#

Lol

tight cave

havent got a hand on it

sly orchid

control is a really fun game

#

and the lore is really neat

tight cave
#

i enjoy poker night in inventory 1 personally after its remaster, dont think that with darktide and marathon i would even want to play something single player from AAA

tight cave
abstract moth
#

Guys is autopistol still buns?

tight cave
#

wasnt it supposed to be just bad?

#

i thought it was this kind of weapon that you get over after level 3

abstract moth
#

Before it was pretty good

#

But I'm talking like years

tight cave
#

as i heard it is good on hive scum

void dragon
#

Shredder APistol should have better mobility profile imo, it has quite strong stagger and it's weakspots damage is fine but below Vraks

void dragon
abstract moth
tame lodge
#

And if you're lucky you get good weapon mods

void dragon
tame lodge
#

Like base pistol dealing 100+% damage

#

It's a really good game

#

Painful lows

or getting your ass pumped by giant blue man with horns cuz your tem def him

Literally go crazy with dual wield guns, I really hope diverse weight sharky put some dualwiled guns one the veteran some day

void dragon
heavy rover
#

Personally I'll still be running helbore despite the infantry las buffs

abstract moth
#

I mean there's literally more than 3 automatic las guns, why they don't add more variety, I want more guns and melee weapon too

void dragon
abstract moth
#

We still need a lmg gun as a veteran, imagine they could do like the veteran goes crazy when he keeps shooting without end that'd be fun

how the ilas change

errant carbon
# willow prairie how the ilas change

They buffed its ammo from Infinity to Infinity +20% (or Infinity +80% with Efficiency blessing). No improvement to Flak ADMs, no change to wacky inverse damage falloff. I'm not hopeful

willow prairie
#

fatshark when weapon have bad flak adm in 2026

#

on god buff dclaw

tame lodge
#

Fatshark buffed dclaw so many times that when they actually buff flak , the game will implode

midnight galleon
#

whas dclaw?

tame lodge
#

Devil's Claw

#

Parry stick

tall torrent
frozen dock
#

What's our ideal gun for elite killer/left side build?

cloud pendant
#

anyone figure out how the cleave node works with lasguns yet?

#

like i tihnk it works with recon but i can legit not tell

#

\it oculd be that im going through or just missing my first target, you nkow?

spice osprey
#

oh my god DB shout build is so good on expeditions

tall torrent
tame lodge
#

Infantry Las sub 2

cloud pendant
#

ok, can confirm, it does do something, definitely against hordes and less armor on auric diff

tame lodge
cloud pendant
#

in particular if youre running rending and britlle and burn on crushers and maulkers it will appear to apply at least a stack beyond first target

#

interesting

#

especailly interesting that it doesnt work on inf las , but of course it wouldnt lol

#

oh thats funny, leaving psykhaneum activates all the mobs to attack you rn

tame lodge
#

None of the lasweapons have enough cleave to pass maulers and crushers

cloud pendant
#

rending node, onsluaght, burn crits on inf ammo lasgun with enhanced weakspot damage is proccing it, dont know what to tell you

#

probably a bug

#

i do have the+10 strength on weakspot hits and cleave nodes and used this with shout

tight cave
#

best active ability for plasma build?

#

stance or shout?

errant carbon
tight cave
#

invincible?

#

i mean f ability

#

shout/stealth/stance

turbid ibex
tight cave
#

is it too much skillpoints in one segment? Should i get rid of some of them?

turbid ibex
tight cave
#

crits from reload is kind of useless i think

turbid ibex
#

And get iron will

errant carbon
turbid ibex
#

Not taking iron will is a massive L

tight cave
turbid ibex
#

Because you have better stuff to put that point in than cleave on plasma gun

tight cave
#

now it is okay i guess

tall torrent
tight cave
#

what about this section?

#

i think its viable personally

#

but i dont know much about perks, there may be better way to arrange skill tree

turbid ibex
#

Might be worth dropping the right toughness regen and/or longshot

tight cave
#

i guess, i could get extra ammo if i drop 2 of them

#

i am lvl 24 vet so i need to compriomise

tall torrent
#

Longshot and out for blood are good but not necessary

#

Case dependent

tight cave
#

i guess i cant do any better with this now, have no skill points left. lvl 24 for clarification

#

or for plasma i should go for sniper concentration?

hollow panther
#

I think running focus target on most builds is fine, even with plasma because giving your team extra damage on bosses or crusher spam is always nice

turbid ibex
hollow panther
#

The marksman focus keystone is good but i think focus target is better in most cases

tall torrent
tight cave
#

you mean gun specialist?

tall torrent
tall torrent
#

lol

tight cave
#

how?

orchid hemlock
#

WS by far is the best keystone

tight cave
#

i see many crit here, okay i get it now

#

i guess for my recon build i should also go for this tree

hollow panther
#

I can see that, guaranteed ranged crits and good melee buffs is nice

tall torrent
# tight cave that many?

15% melee damage
Skirmisher 25% global
Exploit weakness 20% global
Agile engagement 25% melee/ranged
Desperado 25% melee finesse, 10% melee crit chance

#

Reciprocity 25% crit chance

tight cave
#

cant get any more than that

tall torrent
#

Drop the ammo

tight cave
#

and for recon i should move to the bottom right crits as well?

tight cave
orchid hemlock
#

Recon has bad finesse modifiers

tight cave
orchid hemlock
#

Sniper?

tight cave
#

left keystone

#

purple one

orchid hemlock
#

Do not use MF at all

#

Just stop at shockttrooper

turbid ibex
#

Left keystone recon is shit

tight cave
#

i should go for right as well?

cloud pendant
#

i go no keystone for recon

turbid ibex
#

Dont

orchid hemlock
#

Nope that's outdated

cloud pendant
#

vet is only class that can be viable without, and it still is

orchid hemlock
#

Keystone is much easier to get now with new tree

orchid hemlock
cloud pendant
#

tell it to my h40 run yesterday

orchid hemlock
#

At the very least just take WS just because it's busted for melee

turbid ibex
#

There is legit 0 reason to not take a keystone

tight cave
#

so what is best keystone for recon

turbid ibex
orchid hemlock
#

Gotem

cloud pendant
#

ive done h40's with my brother

#

and hes a fuckin dipshit

#

so you play with him now and ill go veteran no perks

#

probably be easier lol

#

is it peak meta?

#

no.

orchid hemlock
#

Sorry, opinion invalid cus I'm the "better" player

turbid ibex
#

What kind of setup are you even running where you cant spare a single point for keystone

cloud pendant
#

but you cna make some really fun no keystone builds that are h40 viable was my point.

#

ill post it

#

its gonna get roasted but its really fun

orchid hemlock
#

Sorry the peak tree is no tree

#

Just use grey weapons

cloud pendant
#

hmm, doesnt want to let me post iscreenies

turbid ibex
#

Grey name

cloud pendant
#

do i need to get apporval from mods or something

turbid ibex
#

Need to talk more to get ranked up by the bot

#

You could post a gameslantern link

tame lodge
#

Since there's no better player than me
I can confidently say that

cloud pendant
#

yeah, what a pain in the ass

tame lodge
#

Get a keystone

cloud pendant
#

oh well

Keep chatting

He ran h41 solo

Holy what a beast pogryn

#

but have you considered this footage of egoist higui sleeping with a rannick body pillow

cloud pendant
#

and rannick isnt even wearing a sihrt

#

scandalous

tame lodge
#

Blindfolded

cloud pendant
#

no the scandal is that he only has one rannick body pillow

#

well that makes it easier

#

they have the same bpm

#

fuck it ill mkae gl

tame lodge
cloud pendant
#

so i only recently added the cleave and the getting folks up shout ability to try em out, but i usually run bring it down and superiority ocmplex instead

#

its fun

turbid ibex
#

This build is dogass

tough nova
#

No keystone worked maybe 1 1/2 2 years ago for a grenade build

cloud pendant
#

i mena, if it gets me to the end of h40

hollow panther
cloud pendant
#

then it works dont it?

tough nova
turbid ibex
cloud pendant
#

😄

#

it works fairly well

turbid ibex
#

Genuinely fucking how

cloud pendant
#

nah bullshit aside, im def getting carried, im getting carried with meta builds too

#

but its fun through auric maelstroims and thats what i tend to play

#

i think im contributing to h40s but i know i aint clutching shit

turbid ibex
#

Tinkererless kraks, no skirmisher or exploit weakness, no superiority, no bring it down, taking onslaught for some reason

cloud pendant
#

onslaught is good for support, ime

turbid ibex
#

Opening salvo, the ranged cleave node, exhilarating takedown over confirmed kill

turbid ibex
#

Which is not something you should do with the vast majority of guns in the game

cloud pendant
#

i mena, its 8 shots to build 10% brittleness and some burn, switch to shovel, poke pushattack into heavy and that's 3/4 life gone

#

spray a few rounds into heads and your krak doesnt need the boost

turbid ibex
#

You could also just throw a krak to immediately kill them

cloud pendant
#

opens up the node

#

agreed, but this isnt meant to be meta

#

its meant to be fun and shoot a lot, provide support and give a hand

#

i'll admit im confused tho

tribal tangle
#

So how is not Chaos Wastes

cloud pendant
#

i get youre saying is hould run tinkerer, and on my non lasgun focused builds i always run skirmisher and exploit weakness

turbid ibex
#

Youre missing out on a lot of damage by not taking them

cloud pendant
#

then how am i supposed to do that and get to a keystone

#

while getting to inf ammo lasguns

turbid ibex
#

By getting rid of the dogshit nodes you also took

charred halo
#

is this worth having

broken reef
cloud pendant
broken reef
#

deadshot time

turbid ibex
#

Opening salvo, ranged cleave, shout revive, marksman,

#

Etc

cloud pendant
#

so you have played with these new nodes?

turbid ibex
#

Shout revive technically got buffed but i still dont think its worth the point, ranged cleave will maybe let you hit an extra fodder enemy sometimes but you shouldnt be shooting at hordes with recon anyways,

#

Marksman just doesnt have enough uptime and opening salvo is still opening salvo

cloud pendant
#

opening salvo usually regenerates around 5-6 extra magazines if no one is running crit chance aura over the course of a havoc game

#

thats the only reason i run it

#

im messing with cleave rn to try it out, same with revive

#

but i find that while marksman pairs well with rending and onslaught, unless im misreading ow that works

#

its also nice to get some damage boost on shout

turbid ibex
#

Its way too little of a boost

#

This is prob what i'd run for recon

cloud pendant
#

that plus the crit chance on the weapon and crit boost from headhunter frequently means ive got starting crit chance up to 25% on ranged hits, which means on headshots its critting way more often over the course of the match

#

thats all

#

ill look this over

#

i tend to skip non manditory touhness nodes and focus on avoidance

candid agate
#

new update brought back all the idiots it seems
tons of people who wont stick with the group and die alone

turbid ibex
cloud pendant
#

the rending node is covering a lot of damage output on rapid firing weapons

turbid ibex
#

You also should replace headhunter for dumdum on recon

cloud pendant
#

i know folks dont like it but its strong as shit

#

i dont fire it up close much

#

melee

turbid ibex
#

Close range is 12.5m

nova carbon
#

For those who don't have the long bomb penance - you can use the mortar nade in expeditions to get it almost instantly by throwing it at the floor

cloud pendant
#

id probably replace burn first

turbid ibex
nova carbon
#

Aparently the mortar ones count as nades for pennances

#

So it might work on most nade pennances

#

Have to test it tho

turbid ibex
#

Theres really not much of a point in running headhunter over dumdum or infernus

cloud pendant
#

ammo is basically it

turbid ibex
#

And you lose out on a significant amount of damage

cloud pendant
#

id really need to run a few matches and compare

#

i know im missing on steady damage, but the 10% rending, brittleness and crit damage im pretty sure works out to more than 30% and doesnt have a range limit

turbid ibex
#

Recon crits dont really do much

#

It has pretty bad finesse scaling

cloud pendant
#

thats true, but it adds up quickly, particularly against carapace and unyielding, ime

#

i'll work on the math in excel and see

turbid ibex
#

You really shouldnt be shooting carapace anyways

cloud pendant
#

im only shooting it while i am out of range to hit it with melee

somber axle
#

Recon crits are for shock trooper

#

Like all lasguns

cloud pendant
#

yup. flexibility of options in engagement, debuffs on targeted enemies we focus on as a team, weakening bosses, evading weapon weakness limitations

#

with recon mark xii i can splashout a lot of debuff on enemies very quickly

#

expending little or no ammo in the process

somber axle
#

But you'd probably save more ammo on your Recon going Dum Dum + Infernus or Dum Dum + Deathspitter for faster TTK

#

I like Dum Dum + Deathspitter on the XIV

cloud pendant
#

i'll give it a shot, but last time i ran dumdum i found i had much lower damage for the match

#

buyt about the same kils

#

so i dont know how that one worked ouit

somber axle
#

Dum Dum + Infernus on the other two

hollow ibex
#

Dumdum is stupidly strong

cloud pendant
#

i mean it was the only change, but i getcha

hollow ibex
#

Which is why controlled testing is important

cloud pendant
#

i think of it as with this set up after 12 weakspot hits ive spent 5-7 rounds of ammo and my enemy is half as tough and at max burn stacks

#

fair, but i mean i looked at it over 10 games, not h40 admittedly

#

10 with dumdum and infernus and 10 with headhunter and infernus

hollow ibex
#

10 isn’t a material sample size

cloud pendant
#

fair, but this isnt my job and im not gonna have time for much more

tough nova
#

Play 1000 games and get back to us

hollow ibex
#

No amount of games will compensate for infinite factors impacting your damage output

#

Simply do a controlled testing in psyk

#

For something like this

cloud pendant
#

specifically on plasma heavy gunners and both ragers

cloud pendant
#

the testing it

#

so far

red robin
#

Any new science for ranged cleave talent?

primal bramble
#

trying infantry lasgun for the first real time which version do you guys like best

red robin
#

Blue one is carpal tunnel simulator

#

But instant sprint to ads and ads movement speed is neat on it

primal bramble
#

hmm okay

#

thanks

#

any secret methods i should be aware of, im used to recon

hollow ibex
#

Unironically

#

It matters way more than on recon

tall torrent
primal bramble
#

igy i see headhunter recommended on it so ill try to aim better

turbid ibex
#

Use infernus and dumdum instead

hollow ibex
#

I think he’s talking about Ilas

primal bramble
#

yea infantry lasgun

turbid ibex
#

Oh ilas

#

Headhunter DA then prob

primal bramble
#

flak and maniac?

frigid rover
#

my favorite lasgun is the little one i can fire with one hand

red robin
frigid rover
#

so snappy

#

it really does feel like EK staff m1 spam, but gun

primal bramble
#

hmm i do like IIb mobility

red robin
#

I wonder how the hitscan change feels on the infantry las

#

Apparently there’s like no recoil

frigid rover
#

thank fuck for autofire mod though

red robin
#

^

frigid rover
#

never going back

cloud pendant
#

some averages: with my build, 7 rounds spent to kill a dreg rager, 9 for scab, 3 spent for scab or dreg shotgunner, 5 for hound, 1-2 for sniper, 1-3 for trapper and either bomber, 3 for scab gunner, 2 for dreg gunner, 10 for mauler, 9 for plasma gunner, 15- 24 for crusher with on melee or krak, 9-15 on reaper, 111-15 on bulwark. more shot, but thats the cost, plus 12 ammo back per kill, which i didnt include

red robin
#

Oh I’m stupid

#

Didn’t read up that you was demo’ing infernus and dum dum

cloud pendant
#

thats demoing headtaker and infernus

#

i havent tried dumdum yet

#

for this test

#

I’m sad to see no devils claw changes

#

But like, I’m holding out on hope that there’s a future blessing rework that has devils claw getting nutty blessings

cloud pendant
#

devilsclw parry is worth a lot of mediocre crap imo

#

that shit is busted

red robin
#

Yeah

red robin
#

Claw sword hamstringed from abysmal flak adm

dry cloak
#

and shitty blessing pool

red robin
#

And fishing for perfect parries is anti-mechanics for darktides combat flow of avoiding dmg

#

“Just dodge”

#

Would be fun if they added precognition but for perfect parries

#

60% finesse to nuke everything with wasted dmg from overkill

#

Hivescum might go off with that tho

tame lodge
#

No such thing as overkill anyways

does anyone know if shredder frag grenade can get the long bomb penance / trophy?? all i can find is that Krek definitely doesn't count

Pro tip

#

I got it recently with the modified grenade in Expeditions

or do i have to go in a game with like 10 skill points and default grenade 💀

You can get it with the shredder

#

Lmao

#

Wait hold on

tough nova
#

I think the heavy sword changes are pretty clever

tame lodge
#

You're not saying that dclaw is great into everything are you?

tough nova
#

No

#

Everything but big stuff. Crushers bosses

tame lodge
#

No no

#

No flak damage

red robin
#

I still think it needs help

tame lodge
#

Dclaw is not good at all

#

Because no flak damage

#

A single dreg Bruiser kills it

#

💀

red robin
#

Having underperforming weapons in a game where build diversity and rewarding combat mechanics is a lackluster feeling

tough nova
red robin
#

Claw sword has very bad flak adm

#

It suffers mostly if not entirely just from that one hamstring

#

Carapace dmg is entirely a whole different case

tough nova
#

I mean the carapace is more limiting imo.

errant carbon
#

It's like Fatshark wants armor types to matter beyond just "Carapace Yes or Carapace No" but they will only apply this logic to 3 or 4 weapons

tame lodge
#

No flak damage

#

Just as I said

I could punch metal and deal more damage than claw

Reminder that revolver punch has more dmg than claw light against flak

Veteran is probably the worst class for it

tame lodge
#

That says a lot about claw

#

Since vet is easily top 2 class

Zealot and hivescum are poor comparison cases, as they are million instances of melee dmg boosts

Or scum for that matter

Because dclaw flak damage is trash

red robin
#

That’s the main issue, with lackluster blessing pool being another problem I have gripes with

#

Rampage and shred being best in slot with skullcrusher being an alternative option for claw has me yearning for more options

In terms of fun in my case

More fun and enjoyment doesn’t sound like stuff to be against

does anybody have a good infantry lasgun build?

Change how you play with certain threats, bring a load out to offset weaknesses, etc.

lime pendant
#

I mean y’all are right, but you understand the sentiment behind the statement I think.

narrow frost
#

Weapons have different strength that can be increased by playstyle or build

#

It just comes down to figuring how how too achieve that

#

People call Dclaw weak but the same people I see saying that struggle against groups of dreg ragers

#

Which is what claw would destroy

tame lodge
#

Specially since shovel is mid

#

Hahaha
Dclaw not beating the gimme fuel gimme fire gimme Ragers or I'll retire allegations

WTF they nerfed VOC? wtf are they doing nerfing vet for like the one thing it can do while classes like ogryn and arbitrator got BUFFS?

They needed buffs

of course

Yeah Fatshark has this thing where they only control buffs on ogryn

#

Look at the buff on rocket, compared to ogryn buffs lol

Also vet is still incredibly strong

Shout is still pretty strong and you also have exestance

Oh and infiltrate got buffed a bit

hybrid plover

Vets just here's +100% damage for existing

hybrid plover

And honestly its still really strong

Ogryn is, +1.2% damage when you fart on a tuesday

And Gunlugger still not good

Solution: add manstopper to ripper and twinks and PBB is 100% ammo replenished

I like how it went from "Gunlugger is just PBB" to "Gunlugger is just PBB"

infantry lasgun is super awesome on expeditions

narrow torrent
#

Yay +50% cleave is quite noticeable on recon las ratJAM

#

Goes through a decent number of the specialists

last pewter
#

so, how are the infantry lasguns feeling for exe stance now?

jaunty tinsel
tall torrent
#

should have gotten flak ADM buff

narrow torrent
# jaunty tinsel how does ranged cleave actually work?

Different enemies have different mass that matches up to a guns cleave stat. Like recon las traditionally has 1.5 cleave which doesn’t really go through anything. With 2.25 cleave it’ll pierce various enemies and hit the dudes behind them

#

So with the range cleave node it can now clear trash even better, and also potentially deal with various packs of specialists/gunners faster with less ammo. Depending on how they’re lined up of course.

sullen scarab
#

Is ILAS IX still like Flak/Maniac, HH/DA?

narrow torrent
#

You also won’t get body blocked as much when trying to pick off anything troublesome in a pack depending on what’s doing the body blocking

darn, was really hoping to pick up some different guns for my exe stance vet
normally I run Helbore and sometimes Plasma and I just want some variety
also I got the Cadian Shock Troop set and wanna find smth that fits

if their objective was to make this gun better than before

way back when, when the game released, I was still a stickler for burst-fire guns, my opinion on them has definitely laxed

Best thing about the new expedition mode is the wider open spaces, ‘cause now my helbore lasgun feels right at home, one shotting almost any ranged opponent that dares exist in my sight line

bumped the cooldown to 60 secs

yeah that ruins everything

😐

#

I love the internet

still dove
#

lol if you have a psyker or ogryn ur fine

#

plus the cooldown curio nodes

crisp wraith
#

Didn’t they also buff the duration or strength of the increase in cool-down recovery on elite kill or something?

#

Either way. The revival node no longer shortens its distance or increases its cool-down, which I love, always wanted to use that more but felt the spam-ability was more worthwhile

ancient path
#

and now im ok

#

also lasguns feel gooood

tame lodge
#

Eh not bad

craggy relic
#

Yea- Im not familiar with cleave values to know if its good lol

#

Ik 3 is apparently high

turbid ibex
crisp wraith
#

Okay, I just saw a few duration increases in the patch notes for vet, and I can’t really remember every single node of every class, not even my main

turbid ibex
#

pretty sure the only changes vet got were the ability tweaks and get back in the fight being replaced with the ranged cleave node

#

otherwise completely unchanged

turbid ibex
#

also infiltrate damage buff

#

exestance lasts for 1 second longer and infiltrate damage buff lasts for 8 seconds instead of 5

crisp wraith
#

Ah, that makes more sense, I just assumed the cooldown speed buff got buffed ‘cause VoC still felt as spammable as before if not more

WTF so if your character is down and didnt get to extract, you just wasted 30 minutes of your life???

@tall torrent is the Helbore build in the guide good for the new gamemode?

calm shard

well infantry lasgun buffs have not changed my opinion on it much

#

still a big ol' "why would I use this over the laspistol again?" from me dog

north flint
#

im supposed to always full-charge the helbore right? otherwise its crap

calm shard
#

no

#

varies from enemy to enemy and what mark you're using

serene bough
#

How do we like the new game mode

calm shard
#

If you use MkV fuck it why not full charge not like it takes much time anyways

mighty python
calm shard
#

IIIa and IV have a bit more nuance

calm shard
#

Maps are open enough that even with them running way ahead of me I could just shoot specialists from the other side of the world

So that's cool

I think its cool too

The horde density ramps up quickly

calm shard

shame the horde is ALL FUCKING BULWARKS

#

Mk IX Infantry Lasgun has been fun for Expeditions

#

it's still not worth using it to shoot at flak ragers or maulers but that's fine for how quickly it sweeps all the specials/elites not covered in armour

#

also genuinely feels like it doesn't need Fully Loaded or Shock Trooper even without Efficiency tbh

#

so potentially solid for saving ammo

#

and talent points

serene bough
#

I havent used IX yet only IIb

mighty python
somber axle
#

I haven't even been running the new Efficiency blessing tbh

#

just HH/DA

#

also the wide open spaces make the reverse damage falloff feel like it barely exists

calm shard
somber axle
#

Helbores are definitely still better for taking care of any and all threats but the new Infantry Lasgun feels very cozy and low investment to shine

#

also idk if its placebo or what but it does feel like that change to how the lasguns detect headshots makes it feel a lot simplier to land consistent headshots spamming at a group of shotgunners

#

also I was kinda surprised at how non-threatening the new armoured dogs and the new Ogryn packmaster boss were

#

they both seemed pretty easy to deal with

calm shard
#

ogryn packmaster animations *SUCK

serene bough
#

I hadn't had the chance to really fight one in isolation

calm shard
#

why does he move like that

serene bough
#

I chucked those rocket heads at it and it died swiftly after

somber axle
#

I got the chance to sorta duel one when the rest of my group was tied up with hordes and specials, and they're really slow and predictable

#

I haven't seen what they do to the Arbites cyberdog yet so at least there's one last surprise to find out next time I play Arby

calm shard
#

oh also Mk XIV recon lasgun with the new ranged cleave talent is very funny

#

1000 degree knife through poxwalkers

Whats the cleave on that gun normally

or maybe it just already did that I'm not actually sure

could also throw in Marksman for the +20% strength and use Deathspitter on it instead of Infernus for a little more strength

#

burn through the horde to kill a particular elite/special hiding behind them

its probably nicer when theres 1 or 2 front liners though

Outside of the really obvious guns like the revolver and plasma gun, which ones really see any benefit from the extra cleave node?

hollow ibex
#

recon las xiv

#

bolter maybe

narrow frost
#

Wait how does plasma benefit from the cleave

soft solstice
#

The uncharged hits doesn’t have infinite cleave now, I think around 20 or so so a 50% increase would be noticeable

last marten
#

they tuned down it's cleave

#

perk tax for plasma thanks far shark

soft solstice
#

I always liked using the charged shots more anyway

last marten
#

veterans are gonna remember their gun explodes

drowsy perch
#

i love th ranged cleave perk

#

the revolver did NOT need 50% more cleave but by god is it even better

drowsy perch
#

i havent tested the perk on shotty but i imagine its good

#

db might be really good for it

soft solstice
#

I just feel like I wouldn’t notice too much of a difference on guns like the shotgun which already has good cleave, and that it wouldn’t be enough for some weapons

dry cloak
#

Shotguns adore cleave

#

You know what manstopper does

drowsy perch
#

like, extra cleave on dclaw is not needed

#

but boy does it feel so much smoother

soft solstice

I did notice some cleaving on the las rifle but it varied sometimes, like I was able to get a cleaving headshot on a scav stalker but not a dreg bruiser

well

hmmm

#

i think initially it would but then it wouldnt be as good

#

once you run out of enemies it stops doing as much

void dragon
drowsy perch
#

more cleave = less enemy usually

Also which node we are talking avout so i can find it

manstopper can be very inconsistent

mainly when you arent shooting hordes

drowsy perch
void dragon
drowsy perch
dry cloak
#

No respite full bore

drowsy perch

manstopper doesnt even say how much cleave it gives

dry cloak
#

Then yes the node is fire

drowsy perch
#

if ur crit build agri manstopper is usually whats taken

dry cloak
drowsy perch
#

if ur not crit build yea manstopper wouldnt be worth

void dragon
#

but if you are crit building?

#

specifically doing exe stance

drowsy perch
dry cloak
#

However if you are going with db this node is not needed

drowsy perch
#

its not like itd be bad

dry cloak
#

Because db is usually taken with weapon spec

drowsy perch
#

ok but

#

more cleave

dry cloak
#

Like ifnyou play weapon spec properly

drowsy perch
#

idk i just do whatevers fun

dry cloak
#

You have 100% crits on yout gun

dry cloak
soft solstice
#

I was mostly asking about the node since I don’t imagine it making much of a difference on something like the shredder or las pistol which are some of the guns I really like, and the guns I know would have high cleave like a revolver, I wouldn’t need to boost

dry cloak
#

Well it works best on guns with already high cleave

just put it on and go into the meat grinder

test it out

there is the creature spawner mod but mods borken rn caus eupdate

seems like kinda a bad pick for what is basically just all-rounder gunbuild

drowsy perch
#

tbh empower level doesnt reaally matter

#

you can always just upgrade to max from whatever level its at

dapper pier
#

Mastery requirements
I dont have those

drowsy perch
#

true

#

easy way is to just buy a bunch of the weapon, upgrade once, then sacrifice

#

uses a lot of money/plasteel but those are the easiest things to get

#

i do it for a majority of weapons beacuse imo a lot of weapons suck until you get the good blessings/empower level

dapper pier
#

Im choosing to put in the hours for it. Let me get used to the weapon, decide if i like it or not

#

Idk. The exe uptime has been phenomenal. And spamming las shots down range from a pistol is hilarious

drowsy perch

thats what i used to do
