Boltpistol actually has better breakpoints than plasma for havoc lol (because of puncture)

#

Even tho it costs 1 more point to run

unreal nova
tame lodge
#

Always Prepared?

tall torrent
unreal nova
turbid ibex
#

not needed

unreal nova

#

nothing more than that

#

a third of the reason plasma is among the best is because it's at least 1 point cheaper than every other vet gun

unreal nova
#

Also, couldn't one skip always prepared on Bistol as well if needed?

turbid ibex
#

reload is pretty slow and it only has an 8 shot mag

#

compared to plasma having like an effective 30+ shot mag

#

and also a really big reload cancel

forest lagoon
#

I think I got lucky with the stats

turbid ibex
#

Stopping power has to be 80

forest lagoon
#

so nothing about the maxed out damage?

turbid ibex
#

Stopping power is also damage

hollow ibex

@tired egret

twin sapphire
#

if you're short on plasteel/diamantine rn sure use it, but you can get a better roll

distant escarp
#

Any pointers on making the infantry lasgun work for havoc?

unreal nova
distant escarp
#

Infantry lasgun

narrow frost
#

I can get reliable 1 taps on specials with the heavy mark

#

and 1-2 shots on elites

#

depending on faction

unreal nova
narrow frost
#

works better in dreg seed

#

scab is fine

distant escarp
#

Do you think MMF is better than focus?

narrow frost
#

unsure

#

I've tried both but havent felt a difference

#

here is my run

#

H40

strange crow
#

Ainz You use deadly accurate on it too right?

narrow frost
#

with build in comments

#

erm

#

yeah

#

also

#

I pair it with smokes so I can have uninterrupted time to get headshots on ranged enemies

#

easier to line up heads

narrow frost
#

MMF if high uptime with headshots but FT is more general

#

but again, I didnt feel a difference

grand perch
#

oh thats me

#

too bad i missed april fools checking up on that alt, i should have swapped the values to 71 thermal 69 charge for a day @tired egret

distant escarp
clever badger
#

W luck today, only took like 1 mil

#

Tried some whacko ogryn rippergun build that the dude said you needed a 66% ammo, that broke me twice

hollow ibex
clever badger
turbid ibex
#

66% ammo on ripper means stuff like blaze away/inspiring barrage proc on every shot

clever badger
#

Indeed, but at the end of the day while I was using it all I could think was "Why am I using a ripper gun in the first place?"

grand perch
#

LET IT RIIIPPPP

toxic reef
#

they're fun

tough nova
tame lodge
#

This says a lot about ogryn weapons

#

They don't got ammo

#

And one of the proper builds has you dumping ammo stat

toxic reef
#

the ammo dump is not that big tho

#

and any other class would do the same if they could get a 19 mag weapon with blaze away

torn root
#

assuming 66 is the min max

#

is there really a diff between 60 and 66 like how much ammo?

#

is it something dumb like on IAG where its only 20 shots?

tame lodge
#

Iirc ripper at 65% gets 19.8 in the mag

#

And 66% is 19.92

#

💀

#

60% is 19.2 so 19 it is

torn root
#

uuuuh

#

so does that translate to the same amount of bullets per mag or like?

#

i guess it's relevant for the increased ammo

#

maybe?

tame lodge
#

It's rounded down to 19 if I'm not mistaken

#

And since BA and such uses 10% of the mag

#

It gets rounded down to proc every shot

turbid ibex
tidal fox
#

67?

tame lodge

You ruined it

#

Damn I really prefer how the VII infantry lasgun handles
How much better does the Iia than it? I don't like the fast semi auto fire rate even with FullAuto

#

Or are their purposes kinda different

tawny badger
#

well the IIb deals less damage with a faster fire rate but you're gonna be shooting enemies in the face either way

copper vector
#

Yeah
I've heard the IIb has higher ammo economy and damage over a period of time than the VII, but it's kind of difficult to handle for me
And is the slowest ilas just dead? The IX I think?

tame lodge
#

It has its moments of 1 shotting maniacs iirc

copper vector
#

Man I can never seem to headshot charging ragers consistently
I had the same problem with the ragers and plague monks in Vermy2

spiral narwhal
#

Im feeling a bit bored, csn you guys give me some weapon builds? I usually run Kraks, plasma and combat knife

spiral narwhal
#

I do like lasguns everynow and then, but what mark you think is the best?

past peak
spiral narwhal
#

Sorry but i have the iq of a ogryn and i only remember the lasguns by colour, what one is that?

quiet lark
#

(talking about inflas)

somber axle
#

Never reload only shoot

#

There's also Boltpistol Lethal Proximity Puncture Shredders with Grenadier/Tinkerer and a melee with Uncanny like Knife or Shovel for just always throwing grenades that empty rooms

#

If you want a laser pointer that cleans mixed hordes well you could also try Recon Mk XIV Dum Dum/Deathspitter with Withering Fire

#

Also if you haven't yet then Helbore Exe Stance Marksman's Focus is a fun build but make sure to bring a melee like Tac Axe because investing into the bottom left means you have less talent points for melee investment

#

What mod are you using to get recon on ogryn?

@muted kayak I’m loving the new rifle lol it’s finally fully blessed 500 power

#

Is the mk3 shock maul way better than the agni because I feel like the attack loop for the mk3 is just better with groups and with single targets vs

hollow ibex
#

they're all similarly (mid)

#

mk3 is slightly better

strong umbra
brisk umbra
#

What's the good Lasgun now, Recon or Infantry?

toxic reef
#

recon is prob better still

tame lodge
turbid ibex
#

prob ilas but being better than recon aint that difficult

tawny badger
#

is that recon slander I hear

turbid ibex
#

recon is alright

hollow ibex
#

they're both just aight

#

recon takes less skill tho

somber axle
#

Playing the IIa iLas and spamming shots as fast as you can feels like a Recon that actually cares about headshots anyway

#

But then a Recon Mk XIV with Dum Dum/Deathspitter will carve through a mixed horde to grab a trapper by the throat and melt them

#

Good Lasgun is Helbore

#

But Recon and iLas are fine

#

Laspistol is good too

brisk umbra

proven silo
#

how do u use the plasm gun? i suck hard just blew myself up

#

what is it even good for

tame lodge
#

Good at killing human sized elites and specialists

#

Usually 1 shot headshot

#

Reapers at 2 shots headshot

#

18 cleave on uncharged shot so it can go through a good number of targets

tame lodge
proven silo
#

feels so clunky

#

but i think its a reaally powerfull weapon that i just suck at using

tame lodge
#

It is pretty good

#

Also the reason why you only use uncharged shots is because charged shots damage to ammo ratio is just not good

#

Almost 3 times the ammo usage for less damage than 2 uncharged shots

turbid ibex
#

also really slow

tired harness
#

what blessings are you guys using on shovel

distant plaza
#

Mk1 uncanny+skullcrusher
the rest (and for more informed opinions) read the guide

quiet lark
#

i prefer decimator to skullcrusher but both are good

slow sky
#

Decimator is better for general use

#

Skullcrusher is however exceedingly strong in specific circumstances

#

Due to being fucking stupid

#

Shovel is just in a weird spot where its like kind of an impact weapon but also kinda not so it can take advantage of it but only sometimes

jovial lava
slow sky
slow sky
#

A weapon with good impact

#

Impact does have a place, its basically how much stagger your weapon builds up

#

But its a lot more specific in its use case cuz majority of the time when it matters, its whether it can get a specific enemy to stop doing something for a few seconds

#

Like ending a ragers combo, or canceling a crushers overhead, or staggering a bulwark so his shield is open, thats the kinda stuff impact is for

#

It matters in the context of skullcrusher because thats a damage taken debuff that applies on staggering enemies or hitting them while staggered, but only is in effect whilst they're still staggered

#

If youre staggering left and right, that shit is everywhere

unreal nova
slow sky
#

And its no small amount either, t4 skullcrusher is +40% damage taken per proc, up to +80% damage taken

#

The folding shovels trigger it twice on a special hit, with the rip benefitting from the first 40% while adding on the second after
And the og mk1 has a special stab that staggers to the head, which can be followed with a push (adding more skullcrusher) then the push attack from that to slam dunk on a dweeb with the high finesse overhead

tame lodge
slow sky
#

Yeah but the folding shovels are for dweebs
The mk1 is for real gamers

tame lodge
#

It's a shovel dawg

#

It doesn't matter

#

It is still mid tier

#

Refer to the previous crusher 1 shot for more proof

tawny badger
#

tried out the power falchion and damn

#

this needs weapon specialist fr

hollow ibex
#

Ironically I think it’s best on MMF builds where you’re using your gun most of the time lol

tawny badger
#

so the falchion is best on builds where you dont even use it

#

😭

Does anyone elses shovel only do the first attack when heavy spamming while sprinting?

heavy sword

tidal fox
#

Heavy as in it drags you and your team down,

jovial lava
#

just curious to try out stuff

#

I use the skullcrusher already on a bunch especially with ogryn

slow sky
#

which also has skullcrusher

#

a notable example is the fact that hammerblow stacked up allows it to stagger ragers out of combos

jovial lava
slow sky
#

just hammerblow

#

with it being a blunt weapon, it already has decent impact and hammerblow scales off of that

#

it increases the mauls stagger by 2.25x just by hitting shit

tall torrent
#

why does it have to have a x0.5 maniac impact ADM

tame lodge
#

Because Fatshark dawg

#

Just accept it

hey guys I need help with on Overwatch penance could someone help?

toxic reef
#

and if you find someone to help stil do expeditions

umbral falcon
#

cant remember the exact name theyre all the same

I read on web that if you die at the beginning and stay dead you will be done with this

It can literally be 10 secs in one direction.

I am going in extraction now I will try it

unreal nova

Then just not getting hit by anything in melee.

I never played extractions before

unreal nova

Just gas to it.

#

Be careful of the lightning.

umbral falcon

It will kill in 3-5 strikes.

umbral falcon

i assumed since they were asking they didnt want to cheese it but we ball

toxic reef
#

oh right that's the first node in this expeditions rotation lol

unreal nova
#

Gotta warn them.

#

Opposite of fun.

granite tree
#

I did 😄

#

solo with 3 bots 😄

#

extraction was best option thanks guys

toxic reef
#

you can do the same for other penances like that

#

10 auric missions without getting downed

#

tho just don't use this method with random ppl that are not in it for that

granite tree
#

OMG

#

you are right

#

I will definetely join solo and extract swiftly

toxic reef
#

ye you shouldn't have any issue on south africa servers

#

since that works for penances on regular maps as well

#

they're always dead

umbral falcon
toxic reef
#

they are doing it solo atm tho

#

just on dead servers

umbral falcon
#

Could do a priv for the same result

toxic reef
#

not solo

Aiyah

Unless someone trying to get penances as well. XD

uneven kiln
#

Is there much of a place for back stabbing stealth build for vet similar to shade from vermintide or is it just kinda not good

strange crow
sly orchid
#

but you wont walk through enemies

uneven kiln
#

Didn't realise zealot had one tbh

#

Fair enough

#

Might make me come of psyker for 2 seconds

strange crow
#

Lol

#

Vet infiltrate is funny though cause it lets you drop a couple underhand frags

uneven kiln
#

It doesnt seem particularly good tbh

#

Cause shout exists

strange crow
#

Yeah infiltrate kinda struggles to be on the same level as that and exec stance

turbid ibex
#

Infiltrate is good for bomber builds or if you want a one point ability

#

And the +30% damage for 8s is nice even if the uptime is dogass

unreal nova
turbid ibex
#

But overall exestance is pretty much just the best ability on vet rn

turbid ibex
#

I'd like if the movement speed bonus also lingered after exiting stealth

unreal nova
turbid ibex
#

Why make it decrease

#

The damage bonus doesnt

unreal nova
#

But the damage boost also doesn't work if you upkeep the stealth bit.

#

Since stealth breaks the moment stab.

turbid ibex
#

The damage boost lingers after you exit stealth tho?

#

And it stays at 30% until it ends

unreal nova
#

Yeah. So is like swapping speed into damage base, but prefer the speed to fade out than blep.

turbid ibex
#

Why does it even need to fade in the first place?

unreal nova
#

Just feel.

#

This also assumes TDR is now baseline.

turbid ibex
#

I'd like if they made more changes before baseline tdr

unreal nova
#

What else can they really do? Buff it so that invis kills extend stealth? Would be too busted.

turbid ibex
#

Movement speed linger, slightly lower cooldown, slightly longer lingering buffs

#

Reworking the +1 charge node

unreal nova
#

That's just removing the +33% cooldown penalty.

turbid ibex
#

That works

unreal nova
#

We already pay a talent tax for 2x uses.

#

Why longer cd?

#

Should zealot fury be taxed +33% CD for 2x?

#

No, right?

desert viper
analog mural
#

Here's the difference

#

Zealot=chad vet =chud

unreal nova
desert viper
#

vet stealth should offer you attack speed after you come out of it

#

finesse damage and attack speed on exiting stealth

#

the threat node should be changed

#

maybe something like applying brittleness to everyone around you

turbid ibex
desert viper
#

why

turbid ibex
#

Attack speed also not really needed with the +30% damage buff being there

desert viper
#

yeah but it's objectively worse than zealot stealth and the buffs that it gives you

turbid ibex
# desert viper why

Makes you effectively stay stealthed to most other enemies while you pick off the priority targets

desert viper
#

I don't see how giving it attack speed after you come out of stealth wouldn't be a welcome change

desert viper
turbid ibex
#

It would just help against crusher packs pretty much

desert viper
#

and that's not a good priority to have?

turbid ibex
#

Yeah but like

#

You probably already have tools to deal with them

#

And it doesnt help in the same way low profile does

desert viper
#

that's fair

turbid ibex
#

Like 30% bonus damage is already a pretty significant boost

unreal nova
willow prairie
#

problem with infiltrate is like the stealth is literally doing nothing but fucking your team over

unreal nova
willow prairie
#

actually maybe change it to smt like ranger vet ult?

unreal nova
#

Or do minigames.

turbid ibex
#

The way i see it is that the stealth is supposed to be a way for the vet to approach enemies safely for the close range skirmisher stuff the right side of the tree wants to do

willow prairie
#

yeah except this isn't that kind of game anymore

#

the AoE bolter pretty nice on new event

4 stacks of fire's dmg is very meh

quiet lark
#

hmm yeah

#

that's fair

#

also i was wondering if you could / would be interested in adding weapon swap speed to the guide

tame lodge
#

It's why Fatshark should buff fire overall

#

The only reliable good source of it is Flamer

#

But it's whatever since Fatshark knows what they are doing

old prism
#

fire is scary until the interaction with rending is changed

all dots are

Fire is the second best base dots in the game

#

In the burn in holy fire universe

#

But it low-key could be better

#

But it's whatever

#

Fatshark knows what they are doing

turbid ibex
#

It wouldve been better if zealot had burn synergy on their talent tree

#

And if immolation nades actually applied burn

olive halo
#

guys, is it just me or is it really hard to see the ranged enemies in this game?

#

After spending pretty much all my time in melee and then trying to take a more ranged role, I realized its really hard to see heads a lot of the time

toxic reef
#

they either glow in the dark or telegraph their attacks at all times p much

olive halo
#

I mean its easy to see the lasers yeah

toxic reef
#

I mean even the muzzle flashes before they start firing

olive halo
#

but half the time their heads are just barely peeking out behind cover, without highlight I wouldnt have known where to shoot

hollow ibex
#

you get used to it

junior haven
#

most enemies have a green glow or they're running right at you.

olive halo
#

also, does the helbore have the same spread as the infantry lasgun?

#

I'd shoot at stuff half the time and it wouldn't die so I was wondering if it shoots straight or not

toxic reef
#

idt it has much spread at all in ADS

mighty python
#

Would you guys recommend focus target or weapons specialist for a plasma gun build?

toxic reef
#

both are good

#

focus target prob best, but I don't like it so I run weapons specialist

mighty python
#

Ty!

arctic ridge
#

WS arguably has more utility regarding hordes.

#

while FT can be worthwhile during Maelstrom modifiers / Havoc where there are continuous bosses.

#

Gotcha, ty

forest lagoon
#

Stats any good?

silver patrol
#

no

#

you want 60% mobility

turbid ibex
#

or reload speed

#

cause always prepared

silver patrol
#

yeah but you are going to reload it manually sometimes

forest lagoon
#

It's 69%

silver patrol
#

what

forest lagoon
#

Look at it

silver patrol
#

yeah it's 80%

turbid ibex
#

meanwhile crit bonus is at 60

forest lagoon
silver patrol
#

because if that one is 80%, another stat isn't

#

and you don't want the good stats to be below 80%

#

the good stats are the ones that give damage, the usual bad stats that should be at 60% are mobility, collateral and so on

forest lagoon
#

So the whole thing is dogshit because of one stat being too high

silver patrol
#

well it's not optimal because a damage stat is too low

turbid ibex
#

and because of that one stat being too high another stat is too low

forest lagoon
#

yeah ngl I'm just gonna ignore you lot

silver patrol
#

lil bro is hilarious

tame lodge
#

It's quite literally the most important stat for Revolver

silver patrol
#

considering you are shooting crits at the very least a solid 70% of the time

turbid ibex
#

asks if stats are good
gets told no
"im going to ignore you"

tall torrent
hybrid plover
silver patrol
#

it's maybe the worst, and every gun is going to have the total so yeah, the stats aren't any good

tame lodge
#

that weapon is dogshit because 1 stat is too high

hybrid plover
#

I mean in a sense that 60% to 80% crit bonus isn't like, gamechangingly different where it's just outright unusable as with all weapons

#

But yeah I wouldn't dump crit bonus either.

#

Reload speed or mobility are the usual dumps for revolver.

mighty python
#

The current plasma gun I’m using has good stats but the charge rate is 80%. Is that ideal? I saw a guide on steam that said it should be like 71% percent

upper jungle
#

what are the pros and cons of weapons specialist?

tall torrent
tame dragon
#

Weapons specialist makes the knife feel a lot better. I don't use it too much for the ranged stuff but it can be helpful even on the recon

hollow ibex
#

WS doesn't really synergize with recon

turbid ibex
#

recon prefers ft way more

hollow ibex
#

yeah FT synergizes with anything that does damage lol

tame dragon
#

Not at all, but I like having the node that gives brittle, at least for the 500 maulers featured in this event

hollow ibex
#

onslaught also isn't very good, i'm afraid

turbid ibex
#

also that

#

onslaught is pretty much a trap

upper jungle
#

does the revolver and the chainsword work well with Weapons specialist?

turbid ibex
#

revolver is one of the best weapons for ws

tame dragon
#

Any singleshot weapon works great with ws

turbid ibex
#

helbore, bolter, laspistol/ilas in question:

upper jungle
#

is fully loaded worth it with the revolver?

turbid ibex
#

which one is that?

upper jungle
#

gives you extra reserve ammo

turbid ibex
#

ye

#

revolver and bolter are the two ranged weapons that really want that node

#

well probably bistol too

upper jungle
#

what about bring it down? i'm trying to find perks to sacrifice for WS

turbid ibex
#

bring it down is a must have for pretty much every build

upper jungle
#

shit

turbid ibex
#

you could recreate your build using this site so we can see what to remove

turbid ibex
#

yes

#

any decent combat shotgun for veteran?

#

so run fullbore and flak instead on the CS instead of no respite / cara

cloud phoenix
#

many thanks

turbid ibex
#

savage sweep doesnt really work that well on vet because you have 0 sources of melee cleave from your tree

turbid ibex
#

get rid of the wound curio, mutant resistance, corruption resistance and toughness regen

#

replace one hp curio with toughness and the wound with stamina

#

so you have one of each

turbid ibex
#

you can keep the ones in there

#

but prob replace those health perks with somethng like gunner resist

upper jungle
#

not mention my vet a bit squish when it comes to health

turbid ibex
#

toughness will keep you a lot safer

#

since you can regen it a lot more easily than health

#

now for the actual tree

upper jungle
#

wait

hollow ibex
#

squishiest class in the game now lol

upper jungle
#

i can't find a toughness curio sadly

turbid ibex
# turbid ibex now for the actual tree

get rid of volley adept, one motion, opening salvo and close quarters killzone, swap leave no one behind with demolition team and competitive urge for the +25 toughness node

#

then use those points to path through desperado, skirmisher and exploit weakness to reach WS and always prepared

#

also swapping out FT for WS obviously

upper jungle
#

are the modifiers for WS worth it?

turbid ibex
#

always prepared is worth for most weapons besides like plasma

#

the rest not so much

#

also a big piece of advice

hollow ibex
#

toughness regen one is ok

turbid ibex
#

you ALWAYS want to take these talents in red on all builds you can

#

not taking them is a big damage loss

upper jungle
#

can you give me a few pointers on how to use this build now?

turbid ibex
#

keep swapping between your melee and revolver constantly

#

sprint slide frequently to upkeep skirmisher

#

also tbh i'd replace infiltrate for exestance

#

this is what my revolver build would look like

upper jungle

infiltrate is still good, right?

turbid ibex
#

its eh

upper jungle
#

imma try it with infiltrate if you don't mind at all

turbid ibex
#

sure

hollow ibex

#

quick topic: favorite vet personality and why, if anyone's up to share

turbid ibex
#

cutthroat

upper jungle
#

exestance with revolver is decent, my only problem is that i'm used to using my gun most of the time

hollow ibex
#

exestance revolver goes hard

upper jungle
#

infiltrate's good as long as you're not rushing into a group of enemies

#

imo at least

hollow ibex
#

because you get a aoe suppression effect on uncloaking

#

and enemies are caught off guard

#

and you get a pretty good damage boost

#

which you can use to turn frags into mini nukes

#

behold: stealth bomber

upper jungle
#

hate it when you get jumped by ragers, i can't be the only one, right?

unreal nova

do yall use deadshot on helbore or nah

#

I put surgical on mine but it takes forever to build stacks for it so I thought deadshot would be nice to cut down on that time by a good chunk

glad pelican
#

Any builds for vig autogun?

#

Trying to throw together a infiltrate version

olive halo
#

I think atp it'll be leaning more towards infiltrate rather than the gun

turbid ibex
grand perch
#

Yeh

willow prairie
#

deadshot on nothing

olive halo
#

whats your favourite big damage gun

#

helbore? plasma? bolter?

guns for me are either fun or utility

i dont really put that much focus into them anymore

fair enough

yee thats the slug mark

dry cloak
#

no its not

olive halo
#

?

dry cloak
#

agripinna is slug

olive halo
#

oh damn

hearty panther
#

accatran is the fire one

#

kinda dogwater tbh

#

but its certainly a shotgun

dry cloak
#

good enough for what i want it to do

hearty panther
#

ye

#

agrip and acca should have their ammo values traded tbh

olive halo
#

welp it is what it is

#

tbh I think im just gonna give up on playing ranged veteran and probs not touch havoc w/ this character

#

meleemaxxing is the real way to play the game

dry cloak
#

just give up on havoc

#

and you will be happier

tame dragon
#

I like using range and melee hybrid

#

This game just ain't built for pure ranged sadly

dry cloak
#

melee weapon is label as primary for a reason

tame dragon
#

They got some pretty fun options for melee at least. I love the knife

olive halo
somber axle
# olive halo do yall use deadshot on helbore or nah

No. Reciprocity and Surgical are enough for me even on the Mk V variant. You're charging shots anyway and at +10% crit every 0.3 seconds if you aim for 1 seconds that's 30% crit on top of Vet 10% base and +25% from Reciprocity already putting your crit chance at 65% just for one second of aiming

#

I only do Deadshot for funny Recon Mk XII memes with Dum Dum/Deathspitter and Withering Fire to offset the 2 ammo per shot cost

#

It's really not necessary on anything

#

Anything that wants crit has better/easier ways to get it either from Weapon Specialist and/or Reciprocity, or from blessings like Surgical/Headhunter

olive halo
#

but what people recommend on havoc veteran is to take out ranged enemies but you barely get like half a second to aim before some melee enemy is knocking on your skull

somber axle
#

Helbore always wants to be charging shots and the only exception is tap firing heads on the Mk IV to clear non-elite shooters but you will still be lining up shots and aiming down sights so you will naturally build your crits through fighting like normal

olive halo
hollow ibex
#

honestly mk iv uncharged shots delete most human sized elites already lol

olive halo
#

just shredder grenades or?

hollow ibex
somber axle
#

I wouldn't expect it to do that to ragers

#

Ah ok

olive halo
hollow ibex
#

depends on build

somber axle
#

Crit headshot Exe Stance MMF putting in the work for sure

olive halo
somber axle
#

I hardly ever notice it drop off and when it does I end up stacking it back up fast

#

But I also play more aggressive so I end up needing to dodge more

olive halo
#

not to mention if they're moving too

somber axle
#

I need to give another look to the Mk IV when I get home and play with the tap firing more

olive halo
olive halo
#

honestly it might just be the fact that its the helbore, might have a better time if I use infantry lasgun or vigilant autogun

hollow ibex
#

so serrated blade, uncanny strike, flesh tearer and weapon spec

#

on mk3

#

tho you can use the same on mk6, i just like mk3 more

#

for ranged buids i usually run falch or taxe

#

those two are much better sidearms

olive halo
#

I'll check it out

#

power falchion?

#

I rarely ever see someone run that

somber axle
brave acorn
hollow ibex

#

Once you get extra comfy with it you can play more aggressive

#

Infantry Lasgun is still very solid though

dry cloak
#

dallas

#

dont dicount shockmaul

olive halo
somber axle
#

Just still weak to Flak in close range

dry cloak
#

very reliable

tame dragon
olive halo
#

tragic

olive halo
dry cloak
#

will it kill fast? no

#

will it kill crushers within reason ? yes

#

will it keep you safe with immense stagger? also yes

#

difference between marks is mostly preferance of moveset

olive halo
#

fair enough

dry cloak
#

mk3 is better for sidearm

olive halo
#

Ive been using the psword, dsword, chaxe and sometimes shovel

dry cloak
#

mk1 for attack

#

try heavy sword of you have power weapon ranged

toxic reef
#

shock maul is p fun on zealot

olive halo
#

out of all the weapons I tried when I was doing their masteries, hsword is the one I have a very strong opinion on

#

and that is a negative opinion

brave acorn
dry cloak
#

everyone has a weapon the dont like

tame dragon
#

It's the duelling sword for me. Not because it's bad. I believe it can be strong. I hate the way it looks.

olive halo
#

aesthetic is very important believe it or not

#

I forgot which game it was, but there was 2 identical weapons (code wise), and the one with a better model and sfx had a higher winrate

#

^ tommy gun was the winner iirc

dry cloak
#

i dont like vets shovel

#

like at all

tame dragon
#

It's the goofy little stance it makes you take while using it. Thankfully the knife has uncanny strike so it can do mostly the same stuff

tame dragon
hollow ibex
#

shovel is mid

#

there

#

i said it

hearty panther
#

still good enough for me to dig ur grave with

olive halo
dry cloak
#

mk1 is better for bedicated melee builds imo

#

got more succes that way

tame dragon
#

I'll give the shockmaul a try. I'm using the recon lasgun with shock trooper so it might be good to have around with all these damn maulers

olive halo
#

I just realized, why is the zoom on ads for vigilant autogun way more than the helbore??

#

they're both iron sights

hearty panther
hollow ibex
obtuse crypt
#

hey guys im a veteran who like using the chainsword i just wondered what blessings do u prefer on it?

#

is bloodletter any good or am i better off with rampage and cleave

olive halo
#

I put wrath and shred on mine, idk if thats any better though

obtuse crypt
#

should defo replace wrath with savage sweep much more cleave

olive halo
#

they're both 200%, its just about how long they last and how you activate it

#

so hammer of the emperor recommends savage sweep on the mk4, and wrath on the mk13g

obtuse crypt
#

also i havent played in a while is the lagun nerfed bc i feel like its really bad

#

especially since recon lasgun exists, recon lasgun with onslaught and infernus just shreds everything so fast

#

which makes the infantery lasgun feel just so slow in its ttk

hollow ibex
#

esp on vet

hollow ibex
obtuse crypt
hollow ibex
#

you're better off spending that point somewhere else

brave acorn
#

It hurts to admit that

obtuse crypt
hollow ibex
#

ilas is just still mid

#

despite the help it received

tame lodge
#

Not really

obtuse crypt
#

its a good dmg increase to all armored targets and it also help your team doing more dmg too

tame lodge
#

Except your team don't need it

#

They'll be running good weapons

obtuse crypt
#

i have the game open with onslaught 1900 dps on mauler wouthout 1500 -1700

hollow ibex
obtuse crypt
#

how is that conisfered bad

#

u tell me 200-300 more dps wont matter if u have 10 maulers swarming u?

tame lodge
#

It's a 3700 HP enemy

hollow ibex
#

you should prob have your melee out for 10 maulers

tame lodge
#

And you only dealt 1900 damage

#

You shot a whole mag too right?

#

So you'll be using

#

20 mags

#

For 10 maulers

obtuse crypt
tame lodge
#

Yeah how did you get 1900 dps

obtuse crypt
#

took 16 bullets

#

from 225

#

i can kill a whole group of maulers without reloading so idk what u mean

tame lodge
#

You took 16 bullets?

#

That's 15 bullets too much

distant plaza
#

if it took you more than one shot
you weren't using a jakobs

obtuse crypt
#

ok show me how to one shot a mauler with recon lasgun

tame lodge
#

Wait

#

Onslaught is 2.5

#

Stacks 16 times

#

So you shot 16 times

#

And only got 40% when you stopped

obtuse crypt
#

prob shot more than 16 times bc i have high crit and shocktrooper

#

it just consumed 16 ammo

tame lodge
#

That's 16+ shots too many

#

Just use your melee dawg

#

Save yourself a talent point

#

Drop Onslaught

obtuse crypt
#

but i like to go brrrt

#

i rarely have to even meele

tame lodge
tame lodge
tame lodge
hollow ibex
#

vs. maulers. first one is onslaught. second one i swapped onslaught for killzone

#

like i said, onslaught really only matters against crushers

obtuse crypt
#

i dont like to rely on killzone tbh

tame lodge
#

Actually

hollow ibex
#

i have a 99% uptime on kz when i play

tame lodge
#

Fuck that

#

Run Onslaught all you want

#

Fatshark wants you to

hollow ibex
#

what's not to like about kz, besides it being mid

obtuse crypt
tame lodge
#

After all

#

They put it in the game

#

If it's in the game, it's to be used

#

And Fatshark knows what they are doing

tribal tangle
#

Best blessings/perks for plasma these days?

tame lodge
#

Flak Unarmored

#

Gets Hot Rising Heat

#

And before you ask

obtuse crypt
#

actually i would say they dont bc onslaught kinda is op, and it makes high armor dmg guns like bolter look not so appealing bc they require more skill

#

lasguns are just point and click

tame lodge
#

No, the changes to plasma didn't change how you still use it

obtuse crypt
#

and have basicly unlimted ammo

tame lodge
#

But don't worry

#

Fatshark knows what they are doing

tame lodge
hollow ibex
tame lodge
#

Onslaught is not op

#

Is just daylight robbery

#

But don't worry

hollow ibex
#

and onslaught only really works on the Mk XII

tame lodge
#

Fatshark knows what they are doing

hollow ibex
#

which is the worst of the recon las

turbid ibex
hollow ibex
#

oh low skill floor lol

#

low floor/ceiling

obtuse crypt
hollow ibex
#

there we go

tame lodge
#

So ignore the noise

#

Just run recon onslaught

obtuse crypt
#

the fast fire rate is insane with crit and infernus

tame lodge
#

Fatshark wants you too run Onslaught

#

Run Onslaught

turbid ibex
tame lodge
#

You don't care about adms

#

You don't care about caps

obtuse crypt
#

^^

tame lodge
#

Fatshark doesn't want to care about it

turbid ibex
#

It is bad

tame lodge
#

But don't worry

#

Fatshark wants you to run it

hollow ibex
tame lodge
#

So run it

hollow ibex
#

adms? is it a crayon flavor?

tame lodge
#

Because Fatshark knows what they are doing

obtuse crypt
#

why so hostile tho

tame lodge
#

So run Onslaught

#

Because Fatshark knows what they are doing

#

And they don't want you to care about

#

Adms

#

Brittleness

#

Rending

#

If Fatshark wanted you to care about it

#

They would explain it

#

But since they don't

turbid ibex
tame lodge
#

They want you to just run it

#

And Fatshark knows what they are doing

#

So you should just do it

obtuse crypt
#

so can anyone who is not having a stroke can explain to me how onslaught is bad compared to not have it and what would be the laternative

tame lodge
#

The alternative would be using a better weapon

#

Or your melee

#

Why shoot too much when 1 shot does the job

#

But don't worry about it

#

Fatshark wants you to shoot a lot

#

Otherwise they wouldn't put Recons in the game

#

And Fatshark knows what they are doing

#

So run Onslaught dawg

#

Be happy

obtuse crypt
#

i like lasguns so whats the problem

turbid ibex
#

All of which will be much more effective at dealing with crushers

obtuse crypt
#

what better weapon

#

what ranged weps u like as veteran

tame lodge
#

You don't have to know that recons have 75% adm towards flak

turbid ibex
#

Revolver, plasma, helbore, etc

tame lodge
#

So you don't need to know how much brittleness helps it

#

Because Fatshark doesn't want you to

#

So don't worry about

obtuse crypt
turbid ibex
#

Though unfortunately the vast majority of ranged weapons are not really that good against carapace

obtuse crypt
tame lodge
#

Oh also

#

Iirc

turbid ibex
#

Like for vet its pretty much just helbore and maybe revolver if you have hand cannon

tame lodge
#

0% adm against carapace

#

💀

turbid ibex
#

Basically the multiplier that determines how much damage your attack will do against that specific armor type (maniac, flak, carapace etc)

#

Rending and brittleness increase that multiplier until it reaches 1x (the majority of adms are below 1)

tame lodge
#

This can't be real right

#

How's recon 0% against carapace

#

Brautos are like

#

1% something

turbid ibex
#

Chainsword is also 0%

tame lodge
#

Eh it's whatever

#

Fatshark knows what they are doing

tawny badger
#

oh yeah the lasguns are distinctly ineffective against carapace

turbid ibex
#

Helbore

tame lodge
#

Even the iLas is like 1% something

#

But tbf

#

They say that a bunch of ilases can kill a spaez Mareens

#

And normally they use ceramite

#

Yeah?

misty belfry
tame lodge
#

Sir yes sir

misty belfry
#

It's all part of the great plan :)

tame lodge
#

Oorah

#

So anyways

#

Ceramite isn't carapace

tawny badger
tame lodge
#

So the lasgun that can kill SM can't kill ogryn armor

tawny badger
#

carapace can be made of ceramite but also armaplas and/or other stuff

#

prolly just using some non-ceramite material

tame lodge
#

Anyways
Recon adms are ranging from 65% to 109% depending on target and distance on all the targets for that matter

tawny badger
#

I forgot damage falloff was a thing icl

tame lodge
#

Meaning it's only ever worth running Onslaught for carapace
But you shouldn't shoot carapace with recons

#

But fuck that

obtuse crypt
#

isince someone said the fast shooting lasgun is bad which one is better the medium or slow fire rate one

tame lodge
#

Otherwise they wouldn't put it in the game

#

And Fatshark knows what they are doing

tame lodge
#

Aka medium

#

Good rof, good damage, good ammo usage

#

The heavy one has a niche build

#

But costs more to shoot

#

Has slower rof

tawny badger
#

the high rof one is alright if you're an Onslaught merchant

#

then again all the recons get a lot of mileage off of Onslaught

turbid ibex
hollow ibex
#

heavy is basically good on only one build lol

#

but it is very good on that build

#

as recon las goes at least

Helbores don't have nearly the same fun as before when melee perks and melee weapon blessings were applying to the bayonet too but they're still ok for taking care of the odd problem here and there

simply play behind your team

I was

#

that's like the #1 helbore advice anyone gives

tender hill
somber axle
#

But the Recon balance is better now as a more versatile tool so it's fine and one of the good weapons to take into Havocs so I can't complain

#

Can perform solid against most targets other than Carapace and that's fine

somber axle
#

Helbore Dueling a boss

#

Affix bayonets

#

You will feel like the weapon is getting you hurt more than your team

#

I wouldn't recommend it if you want chill games

tribal tangle
#

Darktide is more melee than ranged generally

olive halo
somber axle
#

You will end up suffering and unless you like suffering you should go with another weapon

olive halo
#

Back to the vigilant autogun it is

#

Cuz somehow that one actually has a better sight and ads than any of the lasguns

somber axle
#

It is not like Plasma or Revolver letting you quick swap and adapt on the fly

#

Helbore wants to hard commit when you swap ranged so it requires a lot more emphasis on positioning

olive halo
#

I don't often use the plasma or revolver either

hollow ibex

#

My fav gun is the bolter, it snipes, it melts, it eats more ammo than the entire team combined

I think when people see others instagibbing Crushers with one two punches from the Power Sword while they spend 20 seconds uselessly spraying a Crusher they'll begin to see the difference naturally

#

But they have to fail until they can see someone succeed

#

Even if you go full Psykanium Warrior set ups the TTK is awful

#

And on genuine builds it is worse
