V also very good if u take 15 stack MF
and yea I think it comes down to IIIa and V now
IV is pretty good into maulers, I think the advantgage to IV is you can run it with something like Tac Axe which isn't great against Carapace and still run frags and still have a solid anti-armor options available.
but the crusher changes have helped out IIIa for sure
The advantage to IV is less about the gun itself and more about what you can run with it
mkv have 90 adm against carapace
I think IV and V have same Cara adm yeah
mk4 only relevant for crusher really
no, IV is 95.68%
V is 72.77~90.12%
but it's actually not that relevant because V will 2 shot plasma gunners or 4 shot maulers in the head
with WOF the ttk is not bad on either
There was conversation about the zarona shotgun just magically forming 2 extra pellets from the warp for unyielding hits
And me and Path figured out that for some particular reason, the shot also seems to go by the actual center mass of the target for damage calculation for chest shots and not the armor that's actually on the chest
So it also just ignores the fact that reapers have flak armor
Nothing can weird me out anymore
Most normal day in darktide
My loose thoughts on Helbore has been V for max DPS builds, IV for builds that need anti-carapace and still do decent ranged damage, and IIIa for comfort / utility builds that still want to hit breakpoints.
The crusher change has made IV more niche.
I think helbore go-to now is IIIa with unyielding + flak
V is just worse breakpoints unfortunately
i cannot for the life of me remember each weapon mks
ist 4 and 5 the ones with slow and medium charging speed respectively
iv is slow
3a is medium
v is fast
Wait til you see how they work in payday 2 lol
What's shovel blessing?
And stagger cause falter breakpoints
Skullcrusher+decimator.
Faltuh
And its a mistake (mk IIIa)
how is power falchion now
Still mid
Nothing changed
Honestly even worse now that rager spawns are even higher
Like a piece of commemorative gear
It looks good
You don't really take it to the Frontlines
god forbid they make it good
Do you guys like the chainsword
Eh
Yeah it cool
Could be better
But it goes vroom
And that's all my chainsaw blood needs
That'll be the day
For veteran, which is a better gun for weakpoints? Infantry lasgun or heavy laspistol?
laspistol
The ias buffs were apparently inconsequential
Hopebros hyping it up for expedition had a rude awakening when expeditions died a week later
Me too, should be used more often š
Laspistol
Big finesse
Well, it's good enough for auric maelstrom and havoc 18
at least, it works for me
U can largely cope with it with frags
doesnt make any of what i said false 
it kind of got better
with unyielding flak being the meta perks for most melee now
isnt this le intended way for vet to deal with stuff u cant easily stagger considering most of his weapons dont stagger stuff easily
Unlikely
Considering that Fatshark amped some melee staggers with time
And Fatshark knows what they are doing
#rememberChainswordwithoutstagger
Or
Branx Pickaxe getting a better stagger on special attack
Youāre not gonna believe this but this is not veteran-exclusive: most melee weapons are not good at stagger
For example eviscerator sucks at stagger
TH sucks at stagger
Shock maul sucks at stagger
A lot of ogryn weapons suck at stagger
Evis15 is really weird because of the sticky stagger property on the l1 l2 l3
Still sucks at stagger
That's what happens when le funny special ball zapper gimmick
Oooh I know you want to use it - 
is there a melee for the vet that is as "low-investment" talents-wise as the tac axe
Duelling sword, unfortunately
have you tried rashad
i have, it's pretty good also
rashad needs more investment
me no like dsword except for mk5
iirc that's the one with one thrust and one overhead heavy
Mk5 has no stabs
powersword
they asked for low investment
I think power sword needs investment
i forgot which dsword mark i liked then lmfao
hmm
i think its pret low
sure it has bad dodges
but still very high damage output
U normally want to run it like a melee workhorse weapon
Not as a low spec ranged backup
unfortunately tac axe just kinda mogs everything when it comes to low investment melees
absolutely not
taxe needs rending strikes serrated blade weakspot damage etc to shine
Nah
Fortunately i like how the tac axe handles
is that the mk7
i main taxe on vet too
are u trolling rn
It really doesn't
you are going to take weakspot anyway
Like if you're really using it for a melee centric build... maybe?
Mk2
The best one

i cant hit unarmed breakpoints with it anymore :(
But it really doesn't need any investment to function
I think itās not needed cuz it will PA a lot anyway
Do you run unarmored perk on it?
And itās not angled that well for maximum BM value
Melee centric doesnāt need them either
š
Trench fighter wep spec go brrr
give taxe infinite cleave 
It's good.
Arguably its best trait for vet is that it's a very good complement for ranged heavy build because you don't really need investment for it
Tac Axe is good if you invest into it but also good if you don't. Nice weapon.
is the power sword better then the power falchion???
yes
if you can get around the concrete boots
really I dont feel like it is but thats just me I like the falchion much better'
you should use the weapons you enjoy š but power sword is definitely much much better than falchion
Yes by a significant margin
Also Iām updating guide now AMA
meanwhile power sword is one of if not the best melee in the game
how are u doin
ok thank you which is the better mark to pick?
6
ok thanks I will give it a go
you also need power cycler for it to function
Checking shovel code rn
for three powered swings
Check pinned guideās power sword section
could u add infested adms for weapons considering rotten changes
I have updated some weaponsā perk setups following 1.11.6
Uhhhh
ok I will go take a look at that thank you
where are the guides located???
U can usually assume itās somewhere between 0.8 to 1.1 @quiet lark Iāve never seen infested ADM be ludicrously high compared to base
It kinda also doesnāt matter that much since it canāt be improved by rending/brittleness
nvm got it
gotcha thank u
what about infested adms being a lot lower
At worst itās prob like 0.5?
But that should be quite rare
And frankly I donāt care enough about 1 mutator in havoc to have to rework every attack in guide
valid š
Are you a lefty or righty?
right-handed
finished updating shovel section
conclusion: still mid af
Any advice on the combat shotgun? I cant quite seem to get it to work for me at auric level missions. Is it even good?
The agri variant is the best one for general use
And there isn't really any specific way to use it besides getting its stats right
I like to use it on an exe stance/weapon spec melee build as both a quick pullout sniper with slugs or 1-2 shells, as well as a sustained fire anti gunner tool
Yah though building for it is a bit weird
I have a really dumb idea
@hollow ibex I think I'm gonna largely scrap example builds in guide
veteran is basically just this
if krak, take tinkerer
if stance, take TBTA
if VoC, take D&H
if infil, take marksman
go either longshot or one motion depending on ranged weapon
go trench fighter drill if not using tac axe or duelling sword
go weapon specialist if using any among power sword, combat axe, revolver, boltpistol, DB shotgun
go marksman's focus if using helbore lasgun
š
We should give vet the hs treatment
It'll be funny
A weird bug: when using the Demolition Stockpile ability to replenish Shredder Frags, the effect sometimes fails to trigger properly. You watch the 60-second cooldown finish, see your grenade count rise by 1, only for it to instantly drop back to zero.
The Lone Wolf perk causes the same issue with Arbites Grenade regeneration. Occasionally you gain one grenade, yet it vanishes right away.
This glitch happens randomly with no consistent trigger pattern. Has anyone else run into this same problem?
Kuli confirms it
The question is, how does this happen? I've been digging through the code all morning, but I can't figure out what's causing it.
frankly I think hive scum is largely 3 builds as well
I meant goofy tree rework
I think example builds are still helpful that just want X build at a glance
Saw this happen with smoke grenades last game and it confused me, thought it was server lag
Did this start happening recently?
there's still this
SO THAT'S WHY MY SMOKE COUNTS FELT OFF
I was playing with them yesterday and I could definitely tell something was off.
Cue the infinite questions āis this a plasma buildā 
"is the dueling sword good w this build"
"can I get onion rings instead of fries with this build"
"will this build honor Lebron's legacy?"
DUELING SWORD WAS NEVER THAT GOOD
Uh oh naughty word
rip Cy the liberals wont like this one
I put in 2 example builds but the main focus is actual build logic now
one sniper, one hybrid
Might do more example builds in this lighter format
Where pretty icons :(
me lazy
can't you just use gameslantern
grenadier...
You wanted more dmg right? I dunno why they could not do it but i did it
Even got dmg on melee crit (agile will be better imo tho cause instant switch to ranged cause exe stance or grenadier for more aoe)

GOTTEM

Hi all . Can anyone please help me with a build Soecifically for the adept assasin penance. This penance entails getting 250 critical hit kills with weapon specialidt active. Somehow after like 25 matches i only have gotten 48/250. i am using recon las gun and dueling sword. Obviously i have weapon specialist. Is there a build that would make this go faster. Open to any set of talents and weapon combos.
Also could use help with a good way to get fire down range penance which entails killing 100 ranged enemies from 30 meters away. Any tips locations for quick kills? Im 30/100 after 82 matches
These are my last two veteran penances
Any crit weakspot kill in 10 secs count. Just very RNG past first shot.
Same for the melee part, if they die by melee weakspot crits.
They might not be hitting crit weakspots though.
you guys were right, it wasnt too bad
Or enemies are dying to burn.
Is why Bistol is a pain outside of doing it on lower diffs.
You rely on the bleed to meet breakpoints.
But that does not count towards it.
Its only crits surely magdumping into the horde is enough š
You need to hit specialists.
Maybe elites as well.
Hordes do not give credit to it.
Revolver is usually the main choice.
Big hitarea for heads.
If built correctly, you just 1 tap reapers as well.
So any special/elite works barring crushers.
use double barrel or combat shotgun, get three kills in melee for ranged weapon specialist, shoot into horde, repeat
As for down range. Just shoot things on other end of bridges lul.
double barrel shotgun
Ok ill try the advice . Do i need a specific crit build ? Or is just. Generic weapon specialist build ok . I just copy paste based on gameslantern as i dont usually play veteran since my aim is questionable at bedt
Thanks
You do it so you can possibly get multiple kills per buff.
You just need good aim because the killing blow MUST be a crit weakspot.
keep in mind most gameslantern builds are abysmal dogshit
even some of the most voted ones have extremely questionable choices
Tbh all of them are
I know⦠i checkedā¦

but the vast majority is dogshit
Well, the private ones might be decent or just why.
I cant tell the difference because im a mid veteran.
It'll come with time and practice
Also depends on what use case you're looking for
E.g. a countersniper build would need very different things than a frontliner
its been a while since someone mentioned squad leader build....
squeader
...it runs power falchion now
i just thought "oh he fixed weird talent choices by now"....and then power falchion
and still uses tinkerer with frags over grenadier
no demo team. but born leader
yeah no, still shit
Honestly. This isn't the worst bit if it's meant for like aurics at most.
Fair, even the most shitpost build can be fine in auric
In the right hands
I used to run serrated edge with a shovel build in auric
Was it optimal? No
Was it hilarious? Definitely
Is fun though.
I should know.
I did that nonsense as well.
Kinda bad now with the uncanny nerf.
Tried, was not amused.
I rather just onslaught brrrrrrr.
And yes, keystoneless brrrrrrrr
Look, they are both bad in different ways.
After all; you can kill with a gun and even with a toilet brush if youāre good enough

Im assuming the shock maul is the toilet brush
I kinda like it 
Rag doll goes brrr
I will be doing the mastery on that the hard way soon
you never know fatshark might give it brutal momentum...
Dclaw actually
If you're silly enough you can get 75%-85% crit on a Recon and use it through Aurics and Maelstroms LOL
It's definitely overkill and the talent points for just that extra little crit is better worth elsewhere but it turns it into an infinite ammo gun
I thought that was the shaving razor
what is the toilet brush then
Its an allegory to dogshit builds
shiiiiiiiiit
š
was gonna make a toilet brush build based on what you answered
Have you heard of murders with it?
š¬ fair point
They exist. Anything is a weapon if you think about it.
hope they add brass knuckles soon
Pool noodle melee weapon when
If we're talking about dream mods
I want zealot relic to be a job application
Or like a bar of soap
Decided to keep a section for sample builds but itās rly just a dump of stuff I play
6 in there for vet rn (more than before) but itās less organized
Ye
original video is a YouTuber named "Supes" playing spiderman 2 (part 1)
I grab both, but reciprocity is better
Duck and dive is just really nice on vet who has dookie stamina regen
Yeah if you had to choose one, go reciprocity
yes
it's alr but usually u don't need it
Reciprocity is way better
Yall think the Skiitari will be able to use Vet's Plasma Gun?
yeah sure
if you buy a new class just to still use the plasma maybe you deserve to pay a fine
lmao
I'd hope so considering that half their weapons already look like the Plasma
For sure, but they share visible similarities
I'm referring to the large, glowing blue ribs namely
would be cool if they get a plasma pistol instead
inb4 arc guns are glorified smite
agreed
Servo skull will auto shoot one for you every 5 sec
Finally, a weapon that literally plays itself
I feel like they'd get both, with plasma pistol being the DLC class unique weapon.
i.e., Shock Maul vs. Arbites Shock Maul.
Or Plasma Calivers instead of Plasma Gun.
Watch it just not be admech at all
Tau class
For the greater good
T'au fans trying to sneak their T'au Girlfriends into any 40k media
does the veteran revive shout pick up people who are need to be rescued as well?
No.
could you fuckin imagine tho
a netted ogryn finally remembering he has the strength to go toe-to-toe with a space marine after a vet yells at him
ogryn ripping apart a human being 
ogryn when caught in a weak ahh net 
ogryn when he has to do a pullup 
ogryn when he has to push off a small fuckin hound off of him 
not an ogryn but Abelard from Rogue Trader was basically this
Abelard absolutely eating 5 boltgun shots from Argentaās spray and pray
āLord Captain, do you have an ibuprofen?ā
I hope Vet gets the plasma pistol if they add it
I'd appreciate something more nimble than the plasma gun with similar power and also
@pseudo fiber the new skulls helmet completes this armor set so well
It has some use lol
the returning black power sword also pretty nice tbh
How much is that again?
900 standalone (or 2900 for full bundle but the other items are all ass)
this one looks ESPECIALLY good soaked in heretic blood (imo anyway)
this is actually so fire
2026
Man, I am struggling to pick a melee though, because when a crusher or two does come, it takes forever to kill both of them. I was using the Power Falchion, but I have gotten so bored using that. Any recommendations?
power sword VI
power sword
Power sword mk6
imagine how many game you could buy instead of fatshark cosmetics
Imagine how many darktide cosmetics you could buy instead of games
Like 2 I can name rn
But Iām not gonna get them at full price lmao
goddamn
rogue and core
Nah
Detroit become human
Heavy rain
Iām not getting rogue core until after a while
New DT class will keep me busy anyway
Guide stuff needs updating too I just finished reworking zealot sections
5 example builds
Honestly quite incredible
U saw it?
Im gonna look now
I condensed classes to 6 sections total per class
Were there any more weapon updates
I updated shovel
But havenāt updated other weapons yet
Now that the 2 class sections are done Iāll do weapons
What is cut on the folding shovels
combat blade
:3
btw I think so far the most fun vet weapons are
double barrel shotgun and stub revolver
plasma gun is boring, recon lasgun is boring
I like plasma with exestance
Im sure you've been asked, but do you plan on doing guides or number crunches for the other classes and weapons at all? I also thought it was interesting to see your last one be just Vet then this one be Vet and Zel.
Lol true. Specifically the weapons for me is why im asking. I love seeing weapon stats and I dont have those anywhere that I know of on Arbites and Psyker. I dont play Ogryn or Scum so I dont really care much about theirs, but having a trusted guide for them would still be nice.
There's a weapon thing for arbites not as much detail and probably not up to date
Adm, stagger values, combos, thesaurus kinda thing
If the new class is what it may be I've been tempted to get in to this guide thing for a while myself
Especially since Path is so happy
So maybe that'll exist
Excellent, thank you.
I look forward to it lol
I might try it lol I'd have to vibe with the class
Yes
Itās a different attack profile
Love you
Fixed
heretics watching a pox hound after it tried to go up against a lore accurate ogryn
a loregryn, perhaps
i refunded that game after 3 hours
Is it actually now friendslop because public is extra unfun?
Alright this got me
its just boring
the upgrades aren't really that interesting
just fulfill this condition for a damage boost or some shit
upgrades boring, missions are tedious
Anyone else just beat pox hounds even after they died?
in my head i was gonna upgrade my guns to something resembling DRG overclocks but no
just stats
and SOO much recycled content
and the classes have a cool upgrade here and there like slicer getting a projectile on his iconic slice
but you get actually just 1 of those upgrades per floor
and they're competing with your weapon upgrades
whatever dead body ends up in the elevator with us
WTF?
every floor has 1 workbench
And you can get junk if you are fourth pick.
the workbench gives you an upgrade to your class abilities/weapons/a new weapon
usually its like +elemental damage or + armor breaking or something for weapon upgrades
and abilities get like +1 charge
but those you don't have to compete with your teammates over
So is just modded DRG but somehow worse.
but you can only pick 1 weapon upgrade or 1 ability upgrade, not both
or 1 new weapon if you roll something good
per floor
That feels like the unfun part tbh.
Fighting over each other for best or just what you want.
far far west removed that within 1 week of early access release
because no one really likes it
I mean, is obvious why it's bad outside of hardcore teamwork mode.
Instance the same choices for everyone or random instanced choices.
Either works better than shared pool.
Former is slightly more balanced per run but might be boring if everyone goes same build.
my biggest issue is just that its a boring game really
Latter is more RNG and can be unfun if you pull the shortest stick.
enemies dont drop any of the upgrade ore, so you're incentivized to just bum rush the 1 work bench and the 1 bio booster for upgrades and extract immediately while grabbing any nearby ore
I have done so before in another game. Was so weak, I'm better off just dying to save time.
and in between hordes nothing is really happening
Oh, speedrun.
I think ppl expected roguelike deep dives.
Not... whatever it is now.
i was expecting something like that + the big upgrades to feel like overclocks
True. Maybe small upgrades on the way but big ones when you get to a point.
2 recon Lasguns are scary, I ran a match recently where we both had recon Lasguns and it was a light show and a half
one of the 7603980997 of us occasionally get a banger
All Vet all Recon squad when
Would make that brittle on shot talent actually good
Onslaught? Not really recommended for recon las
If you're dealing with carapace with recon las at that rate you should be using your melee weapon instead
Any vet gunner good build ?
Yeah but what if 4 people take it
wouldnt really change anything
What if 3 people and a desperado scum
You could probably get away with it in auric if you're doing it for laughs, but it's not necessarily the best way to approach it. Good teams have everyone dedicated to a specific role so all of them running the same build is still more shitpost than viable
its still going to be capped at 40% brittleness
Right it has that ass cap
Yeah
yeah cause its just regular brittleness
Why can rending go to 100 whike brittleness only to 40 again?
Because the thicctuna demands it 
True true
Anyway it's fun to play gunscum and occasionally find the recon lasgun vet with onslaught
Are you talking like a spray and pray gunner or like a specialist/elite/countersniper build?
You can get more than 40 brittle, just needs to be different sources of brittle(ie not the same blessing)
what are the twitch drops
a fucking twitch badge
don't bother
is it really a drop if you have to subscribe
oh lol
Rip
3 billion aquilas
I was hoping for arbetus 2
mfs already complaining it's skitarii and not tech priest
it's darktideover
Classic
It's so good to see half competent 21st
man we are eating good this year
The new Darktide class, the new update for Space Marine 2, and Dawn of War 4 have a release date, finally. Total War Warhammer 40k will be tied with the new Armageddon war; the old Warhammer 40k games are back on Steam, new Chaos Gate game based on the Deathwatch. AND the release date for 11th edition
Feels good man
It does feel good
Skitari look cool
You get nothing
yo when is vet 6 š£ļø
bros still think people will play expeditions
ok the vanguards are gonna be cool
is this in game already
yessir
yay more shields
I'm guessing they're elites, one unarmored/maniac and the other flak
what if they are peons
anybody else kinda mad at the twitch drop?
small bulwarks
No. I never expected anything from those to begin with
I hope they're like shielded stormvwrmin
ye but you gotta admit the fact that even if you watched skulls on the official warhammer account you did not get it is kinda crappy ngl
I did and i noticed that with not enough time to spare
fat shark adding their certified shitter mode (((weaves))) before dropping the actually good mode
lol i did not even get the promt to get anything
ye cuz it was only a drop if you watched the special events tab
witch is so neeedlesly confusing
special events tab ?
on twitch
any stream on there
but the campaing is over now
i know i watched all of it but i did not see special event tab, is it something diferent from the stream it self ?
don't disrespect weave player (singular)
it is the same stream under a diffrent section in twitch
kinda like just chatting
you see that in the top left corner? That's the section
sometimes called a category
huh never used tha, well maybe next time
god i hope we have one soon
kinda mad ngl
like this was so confusing for nothing
at least i might get hive scum on sale so at least i will get one thing outta this
0010101111101101101110010 kill yourself 01001111101011
I was wondering what cosmetics but I already have these
I'm just kinda sad i couldn't get em
Cuz i like vet and i actually think this set looks nice
glug glug glug
Look mate, I know furries are hot but you should throw that in #skitarii-class
fuck happened
I was getting plapped
I wonder, is the skitarii power sword the third power sword variant that was datamined
It seems to be
p3 is new weapon type, not variant
variant would be p1_m3 (power sword 3rd mark) or p2_m3 (power falchion 3rd mark)
Ah I see
combat axe p10
One of them is a shovel
It's P3 :3333
DS might be cooked now
impossible
why so
the light atks have like 43% flak ADM man
this is more joever than inf las flak ADM
#win
what u don't realize is that because uncanny is reapplied and doesn't stay with u anymore
that 43% flak ADM is really seriously gonna stink
(and I also think mk2 is comparatively better because of this)
I understand what you're saying
But I'm just twisting this to say Mk2 is the best dueling sword
Like I've been doing
For a while now

I think it basically is now
IV is way too much of a 1 trick
it does nothing outside of heavy stabs
It's got ass in the name twice
So how do we feel with the trailer? Is the skitarii in the same tier as Arbites or Hscum?
arb tier
Good to see the 21st being somewhat good at fighting
So the pairing of It with the DBarrel shotgun legit? A single target monster with a horde cruncher dream team?
I mean, Arby itself was just dog in his trailer until the last reveal
honest recommendation
just use a knife
So yeah
Arbites tier 
Also one of the funniest images
oh and
Someone else pointed out the lasers are more piss yellow now
below arbies tier imho
Finally the toothpick of evil has been dethroned
some people will still crutch on it but
Because of recent stuff
I think the uncanny nerf really sealed it
What recent stuff? I thought we were leaning into that colour to make it feel like auto guns but in SPAAAASCCE!
So the budget is more numbers
Than quality
And dueling sword isn't a numbers weapon
Finally
So that means I can use the DS for my drip and not feel shamed of being a dirty casual? j/
The lasguns shoot yellow bolts instead of red now
Because the bolts are made of light
Star wars had red lasers, ours having yellow felt more to make them blend with normal auto guns tbh. Idk why it needed to change but I don't see it as bad tbh.
powder that makes you say skitarii tomorrow
No!
*Swallows ALL the powder that makes you say Skitarii on June
skitarii tomorrow
Is there a good build to use to complete Killshot Ready? All the ones I see on YT or on GamesLatern are outdated
Skitarii yesterday
which one is that?
kill things with mmf stacks
any weapon that's good with mmf, id take the 15 stacks for sure. helbore or infauto would be good options
vraks spam on aurics is prob the way to go for that one then
And it still mogs every option but maybe powersword lol
nah I think it's not high t1 anymore
low t1 and maybe even t2
Ok you mean for vet or in general
in general
You're insane
why
It still does everything, extremely safe, high mobility
i agree with path š
I think knife is directly superior now
I use both and DS is better O_o
And I'm the kind of psycho who has Big weakspot rate on both
DS only "advantage" is no stamina burn
And parry for easy anti ragers
And higher range
Higher damage
it's only 3 cleave
u can remove the s
it's single
what if we give the veteran a power chair?
Still good enough to stagger them h40 ragers
And even 1 shot them
again, remove the s
If anything DS still needs dodge nerf xdd
Its not, people just like arguing over pointless details
Lmao
jokes on you i dont even know how to use dueling sword
Well you see
My narrative is that
Everyone wants bad weapons to be buffed
So
If we classify it as bad
I agree
Then I can go around saying
#buffDuelingSword
I really feel people don't hit enough weakspots to understand DS still mogs O_o
nah it's just not nearly as good as before
It is very close to before against every Target but crushers
Completely untrue
Could be, but on Zealot I feel nearly no thressholds have changed other than H40 crusher and h40 mauler
On Vet I didn't notice any thresshold change
Didn't try on Psyker yet
Actually go fight 10 scab shotgunners with it and you can immediately tell the difference
Heavy stab one by one is slow
Light atks do so little it might as well heal them
My Zealot required 2 stabs anyways
Yea then itās even worse
I meant both pre and post update
It is just quite a bit worse than before
Why tf are you light attacking non horde with IV
I also think II beats out IV now
This could be true
But I'm the expert at stabbing and lazy to qq cancel or block canvel
Because taking 2 stabs (1.5 cleave) to kill a single shotgunner is flat out dogshit clear speed
I'm talking about H40 obvs
And I'm not running thrust
Iām not either
So let's just slap thrust and problem solved 8)
I think it can crit 1 hit kill but
Itās just not nearly as good as before
I think crit build can largely mimic its previous performance vs unyielding (maybe a bit better) and gets close ish vs carapace given u crit enough
But vs basically everything else itās already bad or worse than before
Do you play any h40 games with it
I think itās safe? People prob still like that aspect
But idk I really donāt think itās even high t1 anymore
Thereāre just more flexible options that do more
If you dare suggest tacaxe is better than DS
Plus idk if u even need a dedicated single target poking stick now
Or was it has been
I'm plapping you
I didnāt say that
Good
On vet power sword mogs all
I'm not arguing that yea
And with crusher spawn reduction u can run like
No need for Chainaxe too
Sorry I'll keep using carapace on DS to destroy twins
Nah just in general
they're only 36k effective hp vs melee
less than 4 crushers in h40
and ur not gaslighting me with DS void shield ttk lol
It really doesn't feel this way in H40 for some reason
There has to be some nuance
but it is true
Whatās h40 is that a secret psykanium mode
secret expeditions map
I mean for taking down twins I spam smokes so everyone can focus on the sword twin first
The fact that they're releasing another expeditions level gg
Why
Understood, Iāll be leaving to the next room to chase a trapper
wdym it's the best gamemode smile
it's prob cuz ur elite/ogryn/monster dmg bonuses don't work on them
Maybe...
If anyone is interested
@tall torrent did you realize taxe4 has adms against carapace way way higher than the other two marks?
?
u mean light atks?
this is IV's light atk iirc
and yes it is ~49% carapace ADM
heavy atks are ~37%
@thorn lark
but this applies to all tac axe variants
Games lantern is wrong then?
wdym wrong
How do I understand the values in Pen?
oh I get it
it's because both IV's heavy atks use heavy smiter
which has different carapace ADM from heavy sweep
heavy sweep is ~37%
Ahhhhhhhh
heavy smiter is ~61%
this "penetration" stat says the first atk in heavy chain
which for VII is heavy sweep
But h2 on 7 is smiter iirc
Yes
Bout to start practicing with the Infantry Lasgun again. How is it configured optimally in the current patch of the game?
At the moment I have this:
Do ghost + headhunter
Any comment on the Perk selection?
Perks and stat spread are fine
I donāt like IX that much compared to the other 2 variants
But itās ok
What variant do you like? Since we live in a better era than my last spree, we can now swap variants without agony
VII is most generalist
IIb is best stat wise but crit muzzle flash is horrid
I don't tend to lean into generalist. I tend to lean into maximum damage per hit or maximum rate of fire per hit, but we have Accatrans for RoF
I'll give IIb a try but last time my right hand started to hurt
i like seven :) iib is better but i don't like spamming lmb
That's why I lean towards alpha strike on my semi autos
IX is only a little more damage than VII but shoots quite a bit slower
But it -is- a little more damage on a well-aimed weak spot hit
the damage is comparable to ix on most targets and the higher rate of fire is very noticeable and nice for targets that require multiple shots / if you miss
Hmm, I'll give the IIb another try as mentioned. Suspect more oof tho
IIb problem to me is just crit muzzle flash & flak ADM
But all inf las have bad flak ADM
They never buffed that aspect so they still meh
yeah, at this rate mk V helbore feels like what the infantry las should feel like
I notice the fuse delay on krak nades have been reduced, that's good
Lol, immediately got shit for bringing Survivalist instead of the toughness yellow
Donāt listen to the haters I always pick survivalist instead of the toughness yellow
Mfw opening salvo on an ilas
wait, people don't pick survivalist?
You got yelled at by someone who don't know things good
Wait. What.
Average darktide player
Fuck is a toughness yellow
Veteran dead because Skitarii exists
actually nevermind Veteran is eternal because Krak Grenades will always be amazing.
We've heard this for both scum and arbites lmfao I think Vet will be fine
Whatās the best mark for the helbore lasgun
Like the brothers Karamazov
Yeah it is but everyone went "Vet 2 vet 2 vet 2"
I think frag higher value atm
really, is it because they reduced the spawn rate of carpace armored enemies?
Huzza! we are free from the krak lol
I also think melee weapon perk meta changed from this
Im gonna have to play some more post that patch update
Most are unyielding flak now
how long ago was that?
guide getting old
all vet nades are very strong, esp with crusher changes i wouldn't say kraks are like THE nade
I actually updated guide a lot the past few days
I've been playing ogryn instead lmfaooo
Both vet and zealot sections are overhauled
Ogryn is stupid fun to play. The most halarious class to me
Ogryn weapon meta also changed a bit
Karsolas stocks back up
Cleaver stocks are up
yeah, you no longer need to so heavily focus on killing carpace armor
I've also been seeing a ton more vets running Infantry Lasgun lately.
this is great news, I prefer Karsolas moveset just for its horde clearing
its very effective at it
Karsolas is fastest mauler wave clear outside of sunder power sword
Itās basically just relic grade direct upgrade for most cases
thats amazing, I do want to be able to bully Mauler waves
Karsolas 2 hit mauler on H sweep lol
awesome
poggers
karsolas my beloved
love me my sweeping heavy loops
Currently mk3a
There's just
Not enough enemies worthy of mk5 or mk4
Mk5 is gud
Mk4 is also gud but less wieldy than mk3s and basically just for carapace
Hm, that infantry lasgun match made me feel bad
I kept thinking about how much toughness and instant rezzes I could give them if I didn't go full sharpshooter
Have we got patch notes for the next update yet?
I feel like I let the boys down
Stance is actually vetās best ult atm but people crutch on gold toughness too much
On god
But ironically stance is strong not for its ranged damage bonuses
Infinite toughness regen
if anything the ranged damage is the least noteworthy part of stance lol
Itās the stun immunity
Yeah but at heart I am a support ā¤ļø
you support your team by killing priority targets
Support ur team by killing everything
In fairness a support build with rashad + plasma + krak still kills all of the things
(Focus Target)
I also do focus yes
In fairness, the toughness shout isnāt just about toughness. Itās also rez and an aoe stun. If timed right you can stagger a charging group of armoured berserkers and golden toughness glaze the squad at the same moment, and that is essentially the uno reverse card
The trifecta is of course rezzing someone, giving everyone gold toughness and also knocking a whole conga line of chargers on itās ass so you can take their skulls for the golden throne
I love Focus Target + Revolver + Stealth + Ally Revive Speed curios
<@&735928989146939404>
Feels like Saving Private Ryan or Hacksaw Ridge when i'm playing that build
im glad people are actually realizing how good revive speed is
Maybe I should get rid of the secondary toughness/health bonuses for it.... Nah, just keep using VoC.
does anyone know when the veteren class is releasing?
never
i hope they release a cadian class
Yesterday
How are you late
Smh
Back in my day
the helmet is nice tbh
and black power sword is gud
which hlemet
I've never been a fan of krieg troopers very overrated
that specific helmet is decent
the rest make me think
why the long face
ye but u can make it work with a set that's not rly any regiment specific
like wat I hav
Iām him
do people still run uncanny on shovel
Itās ok but not entirely necessary
U can do Decimator skullcrusher instead
how the krieg trooper be dragging his guts after getting his legs obliterated
