It does not matter if you run the infinite horde clearer if you're also going to clear your teammates at the same time

#

We fuckin love Fatshark btw

slow sky
#

both are part of the sword weapon family

tame lodge
#

True

slow sky
#

they all grab from the same attack template file

#

the light profile overhead thats on one of the heavy sword push attacks matches the ds5s light overhead

#

when that got increased, it affected both

tame lodge
#

Oh yeah I remember that

#

I went around saying dueling sword buff

#

It was funny

slow sky
#

stuff like this is why most weapon tweaks rarely ever bump the attack itself, but tweak other properties of the weapon

#

adm, first target, weapon stat lerps, etc

#

stuff like that is what differentiates them

#

cuz the weapon types look at that base profile and put it in their own stat mold

tame lodge
#

Finesse is different story
Mk2 h2 crits ends up dealing more damage than dclaw because different finesse

slow sky
#

-# this literally means the thing that sets apart duelling sword and devils claw is literally just raw finesse and adm

tame lodge
#

Welp we all know dclaw is shit anyways

slow sky
#

careful thats duelling swords brother

tame lodge
#

Dclaw still shit btw

#

Maybe if we addressed the flak Adms in the room

#

Ah who am I kidding

#

Fatshark knows what they are doing

#

So dclaw will forever remain shit

#

We fucking love Fatshark

dont worry
my parry blessing thats definitely gonna get in will change it

tame lodge
#

The voices in my head told me it's a blessing that has an AoE insta kill on perfect parry

#

Already making a build with Lethal proximity

#

I don't know if it's because it was a long day

#

Or if it's because I started thinking about the templates

#

But my head hurts

#

There's an actual non zero chance that the shovel and the Rashad share templates because they are both considered combat axes in the code

somber axle
#

release that tension

#

it's wild how often people are having headaches and stress and don't notice it

it's not going to fix any other causes for headache but it'll help you relax a bit

what weapons benefit most from new Withering Fire? besides plasma

grand perch
grand perch
#

I suppose helbore could get funny cleave with hotshot too

#

Never tried

desert viper
#

it's really fun

slow sky
#

it increases its cleave from 3 to 4.5

#

with hot-shot, it goes up to 9

#

(hot-shot is -X% hitmass of the listed cleave, the description is wrong)

#

however without withering, hotshot would be bringing it up to 6

#

elites like shotgunners and gunners have 5 hitmass

#

so hotshot alone is letting it hit two, but withering fire doesnt increase that, itd need to be over 10

#

youd need to have the weakspot strength node on ability activation on that to just barely punch above that to hit 3

grand perch
#

Assuming you keep hitting lined up heads

peak salmon
#

how about double barrel shotty?

open ravine

#

If it has around 1.5 cleave withering lets you hit like

#

An extra fodder enemy i think?

#

I dont remember exactly what was the breakpoint or the enemy

somber axle
turbid ibex
somber axle
#

Is that guide incorrect/outdated? Because if it isn't then Withering Fire/Hotshot Helbore does consistently hit 3 at one on lined up headshots. With Helbore you are always aiming heads. With Gunners/Shotgunners/Ragers you can catch them through chokepoints somewhat consistently in my experience

willow prairie
turbid ibex
#

Then idk

#

Prob outdated then

somber axle
#

The guide shows that Dregs are all at 4 hit mass, Scab Plasma is also 4 hit mass. Scab Shotgunner is 5 hit mass, not 4.5

#

Asking because if that guide is outdated I should stop recommending new players use it to check hit mass values

#

Dreg Shotgunner as an example

#

I don't know where they got the 4.5 hit mass from tbh

#

Unless it was changed after the guide was finished and then the guide was never updated

#

Oh wait 4.5 for the WiFi+Helbore base

#

But still

#

That's a fair few Elites you are consistently hitting extras on without the need for Marksman

turbid ibex
somber axle
#

Only Scab Shotgunners have 5 hit mass requiring you to pick up Marksman for the extra strength to cleave a third

turbid ibex
somber axle
#

Yeah so the guide should be fine

#

They may have just been assuming Scab Shotgunner hit mass was the same hit mass for all those others I listed

#

Scab Rager and Mauler have 10 hit mass too so Marksman would just barely push it over the edge into an extra there as well, not just a third for Scab Shotgunners

#

It's not a Manstopper DBS but the Helbore WiFi Hotshot cleave can be pretty useful

#

Doesn't plasma have like 18 cleave on hip fire and 105 on charged shot

#

So you jump to 27 cleave with wifi?

#

That's a funny amount of cleave

open ravine
turbid ibex
tall torrent
#

18 is already more than enough

open ravine
#

Does it hurt plasma to have more

tame lodge
#

5 dreg ragers 🗣️

turbid ibex
somber axle
turbid ibex
#

Because youre not putting that point on something else

#

with that point u might as well get field improv/serrated

somber axle
#

Hey Guide WIP do you know about the Carapace stopping cleave thing off the top of your head?

open ravine
tall torrent
#

yea, carapace ends all cleave on contact

somber axle
#

Ah ok thanks

tall torrent
#

the only exceptions are

somber axle
#

Then yeah Mauler doesn't change

tall torrent
#

if atk innately has bypass to carapace ending cleave

#

or

#

if atk doesn't use cleave system at all

somber axle
#

Scab Ragers have Flak heads so you still cleave then

#

Just not Maulers

open ravine
#

They made carapace end cleave because plasma would nuke crusher, scab rager and mauler spams

tall torrent
#

mauler yes

#

scab rager with headshot yes

#

crusher still wouldn't be worth shooting

somber axle
#

Oh I meant for Helbore WiFi/Hotshot

dry cloak
tall torrent
#

and plasma with 18 cleave can cleave 1 mauler already

#

not often u need >20 to cleave more than 1

somber axle
#

Also yeah Recon Mk XIV has 3 base and with WiFi/Deathspitter can pick up some consistent extra elites

open ravine
dry cloak
#

Yes

tall torrent
#

rising heat also gets u over the >20 cleave breakpoint pretty easily

#

so yea plasma just doesn't care for withering fire

open ravine
# dry cloak Yes

Not bad but I like medium recon as it feels like it gets better DPS

dry cloak
#

Because it has better dps

open ravine
#

Heavy version of las weapons feel like they need some love

willow prairie
#

medium recon is the best one

#

highest dps + ammo efficiency

open ravine
#

In a perfect world they would be made into hotshot las weapons with a decent amount of carapace and flak damage

willow prairie
#

there no reason to use the other 2

Recon lasguns in codexes is nothing more than a pattern of lasgun

somber axle
#

Still hoping one day we get proper Hotshot weapons and they just disable backpack slot cosmetics so we can have the funny tubes connecting from the back into the gun as a full model without worrying about backpack cosmetics clipping

#

We deserve it too

#

Plus if they disabled backpack cosmetics for the weapon it would mean any skins for that weapon could affect the connecting backpack too

#

A lot to hope for but I can dream

#

Give us Hellguns

tame lodge
#

But don't worry

#

Fatshark knows what they are doing

turbid ibex
#

What even are hotshot lasguns

tame lodge
#

Laser lmg

somber axle
#

Yes

#

Recons are more like Lasgun SMGs

somber axle
#

Hellguns are LMGs

#

I guess the hard part of the backpack weapon thing is like where does the backpack go when you swap if the tube connects to your ranged weapon? Probably why they never did it

#

Either you hide the whole weapon + backpack or you end up leaving the connecting backpack but disabling the tubes/weapon

#

Just a lot more work

pseudo fiber
open ravine
# turbid ibex What even are hotshot lasguns

Hotshot refers to a higher quality las weapons that uses more energy to gain anti armour traits

Volleyguns are lmg las weapons and hellguns are technically no longer a thing but used to refer to hotshot volleyguns

somber axle
#

WAY more trouble than it's worth

#

This is why we can't have nice things

#

😭

twin sapphire
#

Specifically-1 ap compared to a normal lasguns 0 ap

pseudo fiber
# somber axle You're right LOL

I do think the backpack thing and like what role it would fill that recon doesn't are the big 2 they're thinking about with weapons like the hotshot

twin sapphire
#

Where longlas

turbid ibex
somber axle
#

That makes sense. We have the Recon Mk XII already filling that high capacity high rate of fire lasgun role

open ravine
twin sapphire
#

I want my longlas

turbid ibex
#

Too bad

open ravine
twin sapphire
#

I want a las weapon that’s just the helbore but without having to charge every shot and without the fuck ass iron sights

turbid ibex
#

Full on sniper weapons aint gonna work in darktide

somber axle
#

I know it's a meme in the community but one thing a Hellgun/Volleygun could fulfill is better suppression similar to Infantry Autogun vs Braced Autogun but people would absolutely hate it if the LMG Lasgun is just the Braced Autogun equivalent considering how the Infantry Autogun and Braced Autogun both sit currently in regards to balance

open ravine
somber axle
#

I remember toying with the Collateral stat and the talent to increased ranged suppression on the Recons and noticed it hardly makes a difference

#

We don't currently have a Lasgun of any kind that braces

turbid ibex
somber axle
#

So that could be a fun difference vs the aim down sights of all others

somber axle
open ravine
somber axle
#

Like you're suppressing surrounding gunners while shooting one gunner

unreal nova
tawny badger
#

my question is wouldn't a hotshot/volley lasgun kinda dunk on the recons

turbid ibex
#

Bracing is also worse than ads

somber axle
somber axle
unreal nova
#

That's about it. You just fail the stagger on a collateral dump.

somber axle
unreal nova
#

Is it worth it, not really. Most of the time, you won't be able to aim and shoot before it's too late.

#

Since those buggers tend to throw from cheat tier places or just places you can't shoot.

tawny badger
#

the types of throws bombers be pulling off

#

and their grenades still direct hit rejects

shut talon
#

advice wanted: Melee vet with lower right tree. Advice on the ranged weapon? I figured maybe plasma isn't that good since you kinda want to be swapping, and swap speed is a bit of ass?

tawny badger
#

well there's always one motion

#

but uh

turbid ibex
#

Plasma is one of the best ranged for melee vet

twin sapphire
tawny badger
#

revolver/double barrel are popular picks w/ Always Prepared

turbid ibex
twin sapphire
#

Hate those bastards with a passion

turbid ibex
#

Only exception i know of is revolver because it already has insanely fast swap speed

tawny badger

#

Someone needs to make this image but for tox and scab bomber

shut talon
#

plasma, revolver, shotty. Noted, thanks

turbid ibex
#

Plasma also can save a point compared to most other options because it doesn't need always prepared subnode

somber axle
#

there's Plasma reload tech for skipping animations but I can't remember it off the top of my head tbh

#

so you can save points on reload talents if you use that tech

turbid ibex
#

Tapping sprint at certain points in the reload speeds it up a lot

somber axle
#

yeah

#

I forget which points

#

it's important to learn though

#

also that guy that hates Krieg is going to be so upset at this shop rotation LOL

turbid ibex
#

I think its when you remove the canister, when you insert another canister, and when the thing on the back of the gun lowers

somber axle
#

the bright side is that the Helbore skin and shovel skin are nice to have (I already have everything in this rotation minus the new helmets + Mechanicus keychain)

shut talon
#

i assume onslaught isn't very good on power sword because of decently high ADM?

open ravine
#

Ever since Yarrick was revealed I have been wanting steel legion

turbid ibex
#

Power sword also kills stuff too fast for onslaught to even stack

somber axle
#

And like even on the Recon Mk XII it only slightly improves your TTK on Crushers which is already awful and doesn't get much better

#

It's just not a worthwhile talent

#

Pls do not shoot Crushers with Recons

steep flower
somber axle
#

Not directed at anyone, just in general. Recons can't even do it as a meme anymore LOL

#

I think at best someone argued quick spray to stack it on a Crusher then swap Knife or something and you could have Infernus Fire and Lacerate Bleed ticking on the target

#

but if you're running Knife you already have Uncanny so

steep flower
steep flower
somber axle
#

I love the thought of Infernus Fire and Lacerate Bleed ticking on a boss tbh

#

it just feels like overkill for almost anything else

somber axle
#

that could be funny

shut talon
#

can i ask if there's something obv not good with my tree?

somber axle
#

Sure share the tree and people can give advice

shut talon
#

thanks!

#

that said, I appreciate all the input esp with onslaught

turbid ibex
somber axle
#

What weapons?

turbid ibex
#

But could improve

somber axle
#

But yeah the only thing I'd say is that you could improve it with at least one +25 toughness node

shut talon
#

prob power sword and plasma/revolver

somber axle
#

it's a solid tree overall

#

Agile Engagement would also be worthwhile

#

I'd drop Serrated and keep Field Improv to afford a point into +25 Toughness or Agile Engagement but if you find you're fine without the extra toughness it's fine

#

You have a lot of the most important pick ups

shut talon
#

swap serrated blade, maybe?

somber axle
#

Yeah

#

Power Sword gets some value out of Serrated into Mauler packs but it's not needed

#

Agile Engagement would be a really big boost to your damage

turbid ibex
#

Replace rending strikes with +25 toughness, get rid of the revive speed talent for agile engagement, replace either serrated or field improv (you only want to take one or the other) for something else

somber axle
#

Oh yeah that's good advice

turbid ibex
#

Im also not sure how useful tinkerer is for smokes

somber axle
#

You don't need Rending Strikes on those weapons

#

Tinkerer doubles smoke duration

shut talon
#

I can prob take out demo team for a toughness node

turbid ibex
#

If you go revolver you'll want both the +25% ammo and always prepared

turbid ibex
#

Demo team is way too good

somber axle
turbid ibex
#

Better to replace the revive talent next to it

shut talon
#

Noted!

#

I'll see how this works out on plasma for now (spend 1M and no 71/69)

unreal nova
#

If you find one.

turbid ibex
#

60% thermal also works if you cant find the optimal roll

shut talon
#

is 60% thermal better than 60% charge speed

unreal nova
#

Just upgrade till 68 thermal and check in uprising.

turbid ibex
unreal nova
#

If you can shoot 8 times, is a good one.

unreal nova
turbid ibex
#

The higher the charge speed, the faster you can spam hipfire shots

#

Also dont bother with charged shots

#

Way too slow and ammo inefficient

there are some stages to the plasma reload where you can quickly switch to your melee and back and skip to the next reload stage

fading canopy
#

power sword plasma gun laspistol combat knife fgs electro staff

#

and uhh

#

idk

turbid ibex
#

bolter does not have the ammor to make shooting crushers viable

fading canopy
#

relic blade and heavy eviscerator i guess

fading canopy
#

three crushers

honest quiver
#

the first stage is when you remove the twisty bottle cap at the bottom of the gun, replace it, and you see the little eject button re-engage

#

then you switch and it proceeds to the spinny thing on the top

honest quiver
#

once your ammo counter goes from 0 to 150 switch again

#

then ur ready to roll

fading canopy
#

u just skip the long inbetweens

So every time I try the basic bitch plasma + power sword build, I'm easily overwhelmed by packs of elites - really highlighted by the current modifier. The power sword has low stamina and a weak dodge so I eventually get surrounded unless I've got a nice kiting area. I also can't stand the activation as a separate action every 3-4 swings. I don't know why it's not popular but I vastly prefer the power falchion (Mk IIb). For context I have 1.2k+ hours on the game, vet is true level +232 and my current Havoc rating is 32 so I think I should know what I'm doing. I feel like I must be missing something.

hollow ibex
#

People use it because they don’t like PS and want a power weapon

#

But falch is significantly weaker

#

PS also handles elite hordes quite well if you take sunder

brittle apex
#

Weaker in just raw dps? Or in other areas

tame lodge
#

Stagger too

#

Cleave

quiet lark
#

uptime for powered swings

hollow ibex
#

Yeah the stagger is huge

fair shale
#

It's generally just worse

hollow ibex
#

And PS has way better uptime than falch

tame lodge
#

Weak in blessings too

#

So it really is hydrogen coughing baby bomb (power sword) vs _____(falchion)

hollow ibex
#

Dw fatshart gave falch a 3 percent damage buff

tame lodge

All hail Fatshark

# hollow ibex And PS has way better uptime than falch

I find that having an extended unbroken period of swinging is more useful than just raw uptime of clicking to charge every few swings. It doesn't always go off even with the guaranteed action mods. Do you sprint / weapon swap cancel?

sharp epoch
#

ps will go off if you swap weapons or break your combo or get hit

hollow ibex
#

If you work around that the downtime doesn’t even matter

#

When falch is down it’s really down

#

For a while too

#

Not to mention it has way worse damage output and horde control generally

#

Can’t even reliably stagger ragers 😭

orchid hemlock
quiet lark
#

i think fgs is better tbh

orchid hemlock
quiet lark
#

but undoubtedly ps is one of the best weapons in the game (top 2/3)

orchid hemlock
#

Best weapon in the game is shovel change my mind

willow prairie
#

it's top 1 melee

#

then fgs

#

then caxe

orchid hemlock
#

Top 1 vibe check

turbid ibex
#

except mobility

#

but from what i remember falchion mobility isnt even that good

#

just decent

willow prairie
#

falchion compete with caxe

#

but when unpowered its dogshit

sharp epoch
#

i think shivs are up there

tall torrent
#

shivs are high t1

turbid ibex
#

theyre good but not in the same level

sharp epoch
#

also ogryn pmaul too

willow prairie
#

knife > shiv tbh

sharp epoch
#

knives heavy a lot slower or im just bad at using it

willow prairie
#

pmaul is probably ogryn best melee in havoc atm

tall torrent
#

power maul is t0~t1

#

I put it in t0 even tho it's a 1 trick

turbid ibex
tall torrent
#

but it's insane at that 1 trick

willow prairie
#

yesh but it actually does it niche very well

#

exactly

tall torrent
willow prairie
#

otherwise it kinda dog outside h3

tall torrent
#

power maul is just flat out best mixed horde control melee

#

better that everything else by significant margin

#

but it's not good at pretty much every other metric outside that

#

monster dmg meh

#

carapace dps is ok with skullcrusher but not amazing

pseudo fiber
sharp epoch
#

its pretty good to pair with on those twinlink gungryn builds cause you can just melt bosses and cara

willow prairie
#

you can't melt boss and cara with pmaul

sharp epoch
#

with gun

willow prairie
#

your damage dip a lot after initial activation hit

Oh true

The shovel and helbore are nice, I will agree

somber axle

It feels like they put Krieg in rotation a lot more often than others

amber vortex
#

Because casuals like them

#

Memehammer, you know?

somber axle
#

Gas masks are cool but the Krieg gas masks lack the same style imo

#

They lose a lot of the intimidation factor of the other designs I've seen

#

How the look vs how I wished they looked

amber vortex
#

Ugh, that pic again

somber axle
#

Yeah it has probably been shown a lot LOL

amber vortex
#

How many times has that been posted on the reddit?

somber axle
#

I don't even like Krieg

#

I just think the design was done poorly

amber vortex
#

Though, I do agree, krieg hate withstanding

#

The cosmetics for krieg need a rework

somber axle
#

Maybe one day

#

I kinda wish they'd do more gas mask helmets like the Steel Legion helmet

#

It has the connecting tubes into the filter leading to behind the helmet

amber vortex
#

Watch steel legion get another set, for their redesign in 11th edition

somber axle
#

This is a good design

amber vortex
#

(The superior gas mask and trench coat guardsmen)

somber axle
#

I feel like the new AdMech is their main development focus right now

#

Probably why they re-released Krieg

#

They probably have Catachan saved for a themed week once they finish the designs

amber vortex
#

It sells 🤷‍♂️

#

I guess

somber axle
#

Someone posted a Catachan Psyker in driptide recently

#

Well

#

Yesterday I think

amber vortex
#

I don't think we've even gotten catachan cosmetics

#

Weirdly, we did get ork hunters? I think?

somber axle
#

Nope no Catachan yet

#

And they did put Catachan on the poll they did like ages ago

#

A lot of the other regiment names on that poll have been done already, a few multiple times over

#

The very first ever cosmetic they released for Vet in Darktide post release has the vibe of Catachan with the green camo look but it's just generic commando

#

And shares the model with a lot of other "commando" recolours

#

There was a manufactory worker style cosmetic set that used the chest too

amber vortex
#

How did we get ork hunters before catachan?

#

Crazy

somber axle
#

My tinfoil hat theory is that Catachan is the "save in case need money" glass box

#

It will sell very well

#

They don't need to commit to it right now because they have had Expeditions, classes, Skulls event, etc. as their primary focus for a while

tame lodge
#

Forced to lock in

somber axle
#

I do like how the current design has an empty-headed look

#

Like Pyro from TF2

#

Just looks mildly goofy

#

LOL

amber vortex
#

As I often call it

The sausage taster mask

#

It just looks wrong

somber axle
#

Why do you call it that? Some sort of like... German joke about wienerschnitzel or something?

amber vortex
somber axle
#

Though also "goofy" is probably not the vibe for a guard regiment

#

ohmygosh what is that gimp mask??

amber vortex
#

Probably

somber axle
#

If they ever make a clown costume it will be my main cosmetic going forward

#

We have clown pants already

#

FS don't make the shop cosmetics

#

they're outsourced

somber axle
#

I know they have to double check with Games Workshop on updates and things, and if Games Workshop doesn't give the greenlight it gets delayed

#

Because if so then it's probably still a "hold until need money" glass box

pseudo fiber
#

however GW has weekly meetings with fs

somber axle
#

makes sense yeah

tawny badger
somber axle
#

They're a lot more strict with their IP than a lot of others

somber axle
#

I think it's just companies trying to save money at worst, and at best they're trying to relieve pressure on their dev teams by putting some of the work elsewhere

somber axle
#

Which could free up Fatshark's own designers to focus on maps, weapons, new class stuff, etc.

GW are strict with everything

they're over protective

BUT i feel like people like to use GW as an execuse for everything

hearty panther
#

partially

#

what needs to be made REALLY FUCKING CLEAR

#

is that FatShark has ZERO PART in the shop cosmetics

#

they dont make suggestions

#

they cant point to work theyve done in the game itself

#

the process in its entirety is completely outsourced to a different company that does the work based off of GW's specs

#

they sold that work off before the game launched

#

well, that contract, specifically

pseudo fiber
#

I think FS does give some feedback

hearty panther

oh im sure

#

That shit gotta be the most inefficient way to make money

#

“Here’s some shit we pushed out”

#

No one asks for it

#

And it’s a toss up if people are gonna buy it or not

#

Like atleast if they did more polls for shit like

#

“Hey tell us what you’d be willing to spend money on”

#

And just put out a questionnaire with a few months of leeway

#

It’s not like we get more than 2 shop rotations a month anyway

somber axle
#

I feel like they're vaguely aware of what accounts are spending on what cosmetics

#

They can track how many people died in Expeditions

#

they've definitely got basic data analytics tracking for sales

restive mountain
#

Like the Krieg sales

#

And the drop troops

somber axle
#

the data is ultimately just ammo to go "hey please do this" at gunpoint when sales are poor

restive mountain
#

Those are like the only 2

hearty panther

they definitely make their money ill say that much
