If you feel like you want to know what you're doing, go stealth and play the objectives
what do you mean by "know what youre doing"? like just hitting my shots?
He means if you are a competent player who is capable of being self sufficient
ah
Which grenades do you guys think are best in havoc nowadays?
then exec stance it is
Exec stance takes more skill to play because you can’t use it as an oh-shit button
I like having smokes more than the others I'm ngl
all have good use cases
Yeah
I think I’m on team smokes
kraks good for bulwarks and bosses (crushers are a dead species)
ig i can kinda use shredder nades with exec as a kinda oh shit button
not very fast but
They might've overdone crushers I'm ngl
its 35% less crushers and further 15% less in havoc
but it feels like even more of a decrease than that
i went from seeing crushers every two arenas to like
one pack per match
It feels like 90 percent but I'm not sure if that's because rot armor gone too tbh
It's probably cuz there's much more of everything else spawning
well the numbers they said were just their estimates of the effects of the changes on average. in my experience it feels more like 70 % or so in havoc
well when rotten armor comes back around we'll see, it specifies rotten armor packs are also reduced
So it feels like there's less crushers comparatively as well
crushers costing more to spawn will mean that the director just spawns other things
so i suppose it makes sense
trappers can go fuck themselves
Im ok with this
I got very tired of the constant 20+ crusher clown cars quickly
Garh fuck my power port got very hot playing darktide
Now i can't play dorktide while overheating my laptop
Coming back to darktide. Last I was on, havoc wasn't a thing.
Am I expecting to get trash talked by sweats?
okay you have a lot of catching up to do hahahah
Well havoc isn't instantly harder than auric
so you should be alright
Lol gonna be weird being that level 30 playing Malice-Heresy until I remember everything again.
Awesome. 
play the event, it gives extra resources and has rly strong modifiers that trivialize difficulty
hai whats new : 3 whats up in vety class
Hey hey
Shrimply just throw yourself into a havoc 40
You'll learn the game real quickly that way

so true bestie
God this reminds me of when I actually took one of my closer friends who's way more of a casual for this game than me into havoc 40 because they were curious about it
that image of the guy from all quiet on the western front
the before and after the war
LMFAOOI
Literally said to me "who even are you and how did you manage to get to this rank if the game's like this"
I can’t decide if I actually want grenadier for frags atm
It’s rly good for frag but idk
I think if the build can fit it, it can come in clutch to have
But I also don't think it's necessary.
I will say
If you're running bistol and don't have grenadier tinkered frags
What's even the point 😔
I’m only 2 shotguns and flamer away from finishing ranged section overhaul
Also sent u the dot comparisons in dm
If I'm running bistol I am investing full stop in carpet bombing the entire map
I saw
what will you do after
2 melee left
At least toxin seems
I think ogryn after arb?
I’m actually curious about og weapons’ stats tbh
but this alrdy is in progress
Karsolas and power maul are prob the best melee weapons rn
yippiee
Even above FGS, Rashad and power sword
Absolute 180° that the paul had
karsolas my goat
Beware of who you call ugly in high school
2 of the 3 are
Bruh seriously? 💀
Am I going to have to play ogryn again
You'll get to cleavers and find out that they are good at hurting naked things
Yea. Just my opinion tho
hopefully yes
Perhaps one day
I think mk4 ain't terrible if you have some rending for it into armor
IV is generally good with 2 main weaknesses
Dreg rager stagger (because FS gave its H sweep 0.5 maniac stagger ADM)
idk shit about cleavers ngl
And carapace damage (but u won’t fight crushers that much)
They’re sorta like heavy sword / knife hybrid
I mean there is the concern of maulers
They’re highest move speed weapon for ogryn
Just stab body, it’s like 3 hit and sustained stagger
It’s not that bad
Main issue is Dreg rager stagger
Boasting good cleave damage distribution into naked enemies
But it's awkward to hit chest on ogryn since
U can immediately tell the difference when 6 Dreg ragers swing at u and ur melee does nada
Tall
Mauler isn’t ogryn tho
Aka infested unarmored unyielding and maniacs
It’s not that bad actually
I use max height og and I can still do it very consistently
Just look at feet

(I’m not into feet fyi)
I'm a little worried by how many chadgryns you put here
allegedly
I’m much more of a 颜控 person tbh
Anyways
Looking forwards to the punches adms

It's going to be really funny
idk what that means
Basically “judging a person’s appearance’s beauty mainly based on their face”
so youre a face guy then
dont think i ever heard of that kink before but go off
btw path do you still have the gif of the two guys and the speech bubble
i lost it
It’s not a kink it’s just that I appreciate prettier faces more than large boobs or ass
That’s about it
thx
Path getting to the Rippers and noticing that the bayonet is the best part of the weapon
bayOwOnet
mfw when someone says they play shovel unironically
Rippers are kinda ok they just need more consistent damage
I know they're ok but that's not the narrative I'm going for
Although I'd love more ammo on them ngl
the consequences of ammo being the dump stat
Best dump btw 💀
it is the lowest stat so i call it the dump stat
Yeah but like
You're not getting collat as the lowest stat
So
Schrodinger's dump stat
also I updated class base stats sections
i wish they'd change the blessings on ripper so they'd always proc every round instead of 10% of mag
so that way you could actually dump collat
hey is it just me or does tox bomber gas last way longer than I remember
Not that I can tell
But what I can tell is that there's simply fucking more of them now.
So the clouds ends up feeling longer since theres just, more clouds in general.
I can't wait to snipe some heretics from Waaay back hehe
can anyone help me with the on overwatch penance? been trying a few times and cant seem to get it
im a voc veteran
I can help in ~30 mins when I’m home
awesome thank you
Honestly depends on the team. I got the build for staying back with bolter and chainsword and for the mission, I think I got it on the train but anything not Espionage should work
Still there?
yerp
do i send my player info or steam friend info? first time doing this sorta stuff
Either is fine
Give me a moment verifying file integrity
1 sec, still verifying
is 72% ammo and 68% thermal resistance bad on the plasma?
Check if u can actually hipfire 8 times without venting
it does
do I trsash it or do I replace my 60 charge rate plasma with it?
sick. the extra 8% ammo on the old one isnt that meaningful?
Oh wait
U said less ammo
No
U want thermal & charge rate to be specific numbers
Other 3 stats being 80 is priority
so scrap the 68% thermal one?
Unfortunate but yea ig
Has anyone paired the Deadshot talent with the plasma gun?
doesn't work
Dang it
deadshot is also generally not very good
Check pinned guide
Plasma is quite flexible with builds tbh
U can do WS or FT depending on what ur melee is
Trying out dueling sword
I just found out it had the parry ability like the catachan sword
they stole the one unique thing dclaw had and gave it to dsword to replace its poke ability
DS fell off with recent balance change tbh
Yes but less defensive and more offensive
I mean, is why it's hard to balance. You nerf the damage and it's now part of the pointless to use group of weapons.
it's not pointless
Well, it's kinda is but not in the dumpster section.
nah it's still a very safe single target weapon with high mobility
I'd say low t1 ~ high t2
but it's nowhere near pointless
definitely not pointless
Agile dsword meta trust
my build good? using plasma and PS in havoc 40. 6 stacks of redirect fire lets me two tap crushers with PS.
do u need serrated blade
also take precision strikes
i swap between it and field improv; it feels weird using field improve when I just have smokes though. sometimes the bleed lets me finish off enemies left on a sliver of health.
what could I drop to make it work? also, i thought precision strikes was bad now.
6 stack FT, longshot
no it is good (especially since power sword has good finesse mod)
tinkerer even
I have doubts on the consistency of that crusher 2 tap, as well as the usefulness of it
I think I tried that and the breakpoints are identical.
it works like 70% of the time. I either need 6 stacks of redirect fire and 4 stacks of FT, or I need 6 stacks of redirect fire and 4 stacks of skirmisher, or I need 6 stacks of RF and agile angeagmeent. Need exploit weakness and stacks of slaughterer for all of them too.
Are u sure that’s super relevant of a breakpoint to hit?
I’m assuming u run carapace perk with this too
That’s a lot of investment for an enemy with such low spawn rate
I do. I didn't know what I'd gain by investing in precision strikes which is why I tried for the 2-tap breakpoint. like IDK what other breakpoints I could meet by dropping 6 stacks of FT or longshot
Better damage into everything
30% weakspot in this case outperforms 5% damage from 6 stack RF because it’s in a different multiplicative bracket from +damage
And idk why u have to build for a specific crusher 2 tap with so many strings attached when crusher doesn’t even spawn that much now
does that change any breakpoints though? from my testing I still have the same breakpoints into other melee elites and gunners.
Unyielding flak is better for vast majority of cases
Are u only checking first target
yes
I still don’t know why u specifically go for a niche crusher breakpoint
b/c I couldn't find any other breakpoints I wouldn't meet if I invested in the crusher breakpoint. I basically couldn't find any other breakpoints to build towards since I found the PS sword kills rager blobs in 3 swings no matter what I do, and that it 1-2 taps maulers/plasma gunners too even if I don't have Precision Stikes.
U can 2 hit both rager types with first target damage
with light attacks?
Yea
I don’t even use FT for power sword
And the other thing is
I don’t think raw dps breakpoints matter as much vs crushers compared to stagger (which u get from other 2 grenade types)
They don’t live long under concentrated fire and you’re not gonna be the only one attacking crushers
whats the fastes combat axe
III
i tried rashad with the ignore hitmass and strength on hit
but it was so fucking slow
and it's still the best one
how u build atk speed on vet
By taking the attack speed talents?
does vet have any melee ones?
one i think
afaik vet barely even has attack speed in general
and you basically always take it
Yea
And WS
still slow as balls
whats ws again
Right side keystone
oh weapon specialist
yeah i mean, its like the only weak point of the weapon
didn't try the mk8, but i think the other marks are even slower
btw do weapons have a different acceleration value in sprint
yea
because sometimes when i start sprinting with the combat axe it's like
being immobile for a second
headtaker
headtaker is the strongest strength blessing in the game
decimator is one of the worst
all my homies hate decimator
flak and cara or manic
unarmored and unyelding maybe
unarmored/flak + carapace
or flak
prob do flak and unarmored then
always nice to handle a rager horde with it
nvm it two-taps those as well on headshots; I'm just bad at getting headshots
even still why do u not choose the more dmg option
ive wanted to like crusher but it just
its so slow for what other weapons can already do decently
crusher?
I want to if it lets me kill faster. however, rn in the psykhanium I am getting the same breakpoints on all melee enemies
havent tested all ranged yet
I did the math too, u don't actually need 6 stack FT for crusher 2 tap
4 stack FT tag + slaughter max stack + skirmisher max stack + EW active is enough, and this is assuming u don't crit in either of 2 hits
so u should just take precision strikes
whats EW?
exploit weakness
thx
I'm gonna play a bunch a games with this tomorrow
leave PS blessings/perks as they are?
math here
412.5 x1.25 x1.25 x(2+(1.65+1.32)x0.6x(1+0.3+0.25)) x1.4 x(1+0.15+0.15+0.2+0.25+0.2) x1.05^4
this is with precision strikes
gets u over 10k
carapace + whatever other perk u like
tho personally I think unyielding flak is best atm
because crushers just don't spawn that much, and neither mauler nor plasma gunner is so high hp that u need to take carapace perk for them
also for maulers u may want to bodyhit to cleave through (and hit 2) for stagger anyway
and all of this is still assuming u don't crit
but u will, given desperado & reciprocity
flak means u can 1 hit scab shotgunner & gunner
and may 1 hit scab rager with activated heavy
and better mauler body dmg
and better bleed dmg (frag)
I am right in understanding that the shared Exec Vision only last the 6seconds no matter the uptime you get? Or does it last for the duration of how long you have Exec active through active killing
the former
Noice
why is it
guys any advice on using the powersword? its so awkward to use for me it feels so clunky
Power and then sword
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWX6LSMRecY&list=PLP-FRAIIeIoci539nBVL_mL_tnXi36lkx&index=4 Blessings might be off on this but the attack combos should be good?
The Achlys MK6 Power Sword is a very powerful veteran weapon, one of the best weapons in the game. The only drawback it really has is its poor mobility. If you can learn to fight around that weakness this weapon goes crazy.
just turn on swing 2 or 3 times (i forget how many power cycler adds) and then turn on again
i think its turn on, swing 3 times, then turn on again
also yea cycler and sunder are usually what ppl say to do
With the MK VI you go into the light stabs with a heavy? So the combo would be special, heavy, light, light or is PA more efficient?
i guess its just a playstyle issue then, idk why it feels so weak to me D:
will probably give it a few more games and see how it goes before i go back to my old reliable chainsword
Are you using the special frequently?
its really strong but heavily relies on knowing the timing/combos
and yeah u gotta use the energy basically all the time
otherwise its a butterknife
im trying to use the special every 3 swings but i find it doesnt do enough damage before i turn the special back on
especially against ragers and the heavily armoured enemies idk what they are classified as, carapace?
Not like the relic blade where it's still a big fuckoff sword
Gotta turn the smack back on
and then just loop that
psword is janky but it's super powerful
its very "skill" based
way stronger than chord
seems like it takes some time getting used to
Is this for armoured ogryns?
i say "skill" because its fairly simple to use, you just need to know the timing
its kinda slow compared to just running around with the combar knife or chainsword
elites or specials
yeah you give up mobility for a fuckton of damage
combat knife is meant to be speedy, chainsword depends on mk
ps single target combo is PA + L + L
heavies are basically never used unless you're using mk3 (why)
heavies for sunder
i forget what mk
the heavies do go hard
if you can get it right
no reason to use it
simply attack more often
the only time might be mutie one shot?
can't think of anything else
gains stack once per attack, not per hit
loses all stacks on a miss
hard to do when the activation is like 2 seconds of potentional cucking
it's really not that bad with animation cancel
oh its one of those mf talents
unless once again you're using mk3 
idk animation cancel and i can tbe bothered to cheese it
it's not cheese...
im never gonna remember to do it
it's literally a game mechanic lol
it's super easy
activate and block and let go
or activate > push
it'll become second nature lol
its like how dclaw has a parry
gonna have a real bad time with ps if you don't animation cancel
i always forget it exists
my second nature is
heavy attack
my first nature is
light attack
like half my builds are spam or hold m1
I knowww. I just hate PA's lol
Never could get them quite right in VT2
hmmm
so
WS gives 33% ranged crit chance per melee stacked
which is 10
so you get 100% crits for 10 seconds pretty easily
combine that with no ammo consumption on las crits
and you got ultra infinite laser
obv running infernus
not sure what i should put the 2nd one
trying out immune to ranged on close kill rn
then dumdum
the 100% crit is only for one shot to be clear
if it was 100% crit for 10 seconds that would be broken
LOL
just for the next shot
but it's funny to imagine how crazy that would be
yeah imagine a vraks with 100% crit rate for 10s
you could prob delete a boss in a single mag
i mean, the crit chance stays at 100%
WAIT
i know why
because no consumption on crit
you never actually shoot
so as long as you keep hitting a crit you have a fuckton of crit
i was using vraks before
its very silly
not how it works
due to crit string
bro been spreading misinformation left and right
misinformation is only cool if I'm the one spreading them
idk that seems to be how it works
i will get video of test
after diner
after first shot which can kick off crit string, during which crit calculation does not apply, the shot following the last crit string's end will not get any crit chance bonus from WS and roll RNG as normal
maybe its a live server thing
nothing in an actual match i can ever replicate in psykhanium
but i had a 100% critrate (as shown by the crit chance mod) and an ammo that only ever went down on shots i missed
until the 10s was gone
the actual game servers have insane wacko shit that only works in the servers
like being able to stack stimm and supply on scum
for 2x the stim
or maybe it's just placebo
p sure show crit chance is just not always right, have had it show 100% before and then not crit
Don’t test it
Its ‚on next shot’; read the talent first…

Know this;
For 10s your next shot will be 100% crit if you get 3 stacks
Thats it; no ‚infinite crits’ or some other hogwash - 1st shot only
is shred on dclaw good
??
is it literally just that it also adds it to allies?
why is it worded like that
yes
It's worded completely normally?
i have made a silly build
crit build reconlas (fastest firing) with infernus and brittle talent
- WS because it makes it even faster
So, the same silly build that every veteran not running plasma does 
Although I tend to prefer Focus Target with my recon Flamer knockoff
idk if its the one everyone runs
but its very fun
laser drill
does rending also work for fire tho
Another one lost to mk13 recon onslaught
🥀
But some do it with VIc.
So like worst melee?
Well it's less bad and more awful to use
No cleave
Sticking on everything
Sucks
No stagger
That would be dclaw mk1
No dick No balls No ass No nothing
You can use the power falchion with paths sniper build in the pinned guide and do fine
Mainly because there won't be any specialists to deal with and by golly it can kill chaff
(The bare minimum)
Complete dogshit against ragers tho
@tall torrent redirect fire is saying +2% damage per stack instead of 2.5%
But isn't 3a better than Mk5 damage wise?
yeah, it's a tradeoff between charge rate and outright damage
so a slower charge rate is a whole lot more punishing if you miss
So the heaviest variant is dog?
No
All 3 marks are good
Its pretty much up to preference which one you pick
respectfully how is that ur conclusion from that message lol
Though mk4 has fallen off a bit cause less crushers and ogryns in general
No
Mk4 is the hardest hitting ranged weapon in the game
But its still solid
I think the only thing that is strictly worse across the three variants is the bayonet on the heavy. The rest is preference
There's just not enough worthy targets for it
So it felt offended and ended up letting their younger siblings shine
I think
I miss my crushers
me too 😞
get better on your aim then
I don't get it so I'll ignore it
Carapace spam was the only thing saving the game....
we're getting shieldvermin equivalents with skitarii launch so hordes will be a little harder to clear shortly
Wont matter with the power creep
make every enemy carapace
flying poxbursters
flying enemies in general would be kinda dope I think
evil ass servo skulls
flying.. nurglings? are those a thing
if you throw them hard enough
Well, if you fastball special one, does it count?
Flying things are Slaanesh related from memory. You create a companion from your own flesh that looks and acts like a Cherub.
bulwarks but theyre grunt and elite enemies
lowkirkyahuinely will go good to break up the monotony
if I see anything resembling a bulwark shield on a trash mob I'm going to explode
bulwarks already are elites
trauma
nah theyre so slow its practice headshotting them
helldivers is hilarious because there's a team that's doing a thing called uh
custom galactic war I think
and from what I hear it's just completely undercutting the main game
i applied to their discord and was denied
I chose to ignore it 
😌
-# provided you can actually get in
dont think i heard of it
crueler than the job market
I find it hilarious that they keep saying "oh this mod isnt made to bash the devs" and it's like
it's gonna be used to bash the devs no matter what
what does the mod do
takes arrowhead a week to fix a fun bug but a year to fix fleshmobs going underground
this is a post holding the invite for the new "Custom galactic war" mod it currently includes but is not limited to. custom modular mech arms (and shoulder mounted lib) growing balance changes closer to being a horde shooter with jacked spawn rates custom biomes and points of interest and a custom war table with an evolving story ran by the modd...
custom modular mech arms (and shoulder mounted lib)
growing balance changes closer to being a horde shooter with jacked spawn rates
custom biomes and points of interest and a custom war table with an evolving story ran by the modders
and special armed seaf soldiers that exist outside of citys
from the post
finally... a reason for light pen
I wouldn't know, hadn't really gotten a chance to try it out myself
Will fix
I tried Havoc 24 with green variant. It no longer oneshots some enemies in the head compared to meat grinder auric 😭
And doesn't kill basic gunners in the body half the times
It's gonna get nuked when they change anti-cheats imminently
did they actually confirm theyre doing that
I'm sure with you 100% that's the cheater going to figure someway how to bypass
Game guard can be broke by easy anti cheat via lua script so I'm not really surprised
kernel level my a*s
The dev team said 1 of three things will happen, they will charge money for it to update it more (unlikely imo, arrowhead will get involved if that happens) they'll stay on an old version of the game, or they drop it
Hmmm maybe they probally gonna drop it
I can't remember what mk is the green variant. Maybe try the mk IIIa?
Every patch AH always try to patch the medal and sc drop cheat but the cheater always fingure way some how to bypass it lol 😭
Lowkey I think they should remove the game guard at this point
image.png lol
I made ammo my dumpstat on a lucius-lasgun
you need convict role for image permissions
I'm running exe stance deadshot shocktrooper veteran
How doth one acquire it
yap
deadshot 
was is die problem
deadshot is pretty much a meme
stamina drain is bad and theres better sources of crit chance
yeah the drain is abysmal
I agree
what better sources
reciprocity and surgical
where are they again
surgical is a blessing and reciprocity is at the bottom right
oh recioprocity is on the commando tree
I already run surgical gang
I'd show you the gun I got but
NO EMBED
lol
do you want me to dm it
lmao
the drip on a scab gunner never ceases to amaze me
replace maniac and carapace with unyielding and flak
and you need flak for scab gunners and shotgunners
Oh
Lucius does not need flak to kill those
I instakill them
lmao
I even cleave through and get collateral kills on them
My biggest concern is boss damage
I guess I could swap maniac with unyielding
I do good but not good enough
Especially captain/lieutenant shields, I cannot do enough damage
dont shoot shields
yeah if you just spam m1 with your melee you do more damage
even with no investement
they also have a damage cap i'm pretty sure and melee attacks almost always reach that cap
3a is the green
can we normalize racism against daemonhosts
dont we already do that
Make it more apparent
This is based
basedpilled
you thought zealot-psyker racism was bad? you aint seen nothing yet this coming update
skitarii racism is not real, it cannot hurt you
No
They are victims
And very loyal to the emperor
So you should be kind
And grant them the emperor's mercy
At EVERY single opportunity

why is executioner stance preferred over voice of command?
strange, my mkIIIa build does headshots well. what talents/blessings do you run?
Shit ton of self buffs
The most important one being stun immunity
And constant toughness regen
The very same you have in build page, with the exception of Weight of Fire instead of Armourbane
Huh, that is strange
i wish the helbore was better
wdym 😭
It would be overpowered if it was better tbh
if you have your mmf stacks you will one shot all human gunners / shotgunners with a charged shot in havoc 40
you can one shot a lot of targets without full stacks with a crit or with executioner's active
mmf?
marksman's focus
I use VoC
well u will be missing a bit of dmg there then
could just hold for crit on those targets you can't one shot
seems like flamers need crit without executioner's
I'm curious
How?
actually in h24 you hit all breakpoints anyway
idk how man, just better somehow
maybe slighly faster charge time
The helbore is good tho
Unless maybe a krieg cosplayer is using it or something
🥀
But I agree
Even though it's good
It should be better
#buffHelbore
Pls no
buff helbore and bring new krieg cosmetics
also outlines
Helbore is an exe stance weapon tbh
Don't need to shout to get out of a bad situation if you have precognition to not allow that situation to happen to begin with.
Finished DB section overhaul in guide
pog
Also fixed
pog 2
Also I actually wanna do og weapons soon
pog 3
Veteran is an exe stance class tbh
The TLDR is just Karsolas / power maul / shield
And maybe cleaver
@heavy rover Fr?
yes
Either works imo, I set it to VoC for the team support with golden toughness
Which power sword mark is better?
6
With horizonal light attacks?
Yez
And what's the second blessing to use?
slaughterer/sunder/bm
Check pinned guide
it's already good
It is really good already
Thank you path
Unless ur using the fan fire version
Path
I need you to make Ogryns guns good


Ask Hank
Or ebic coal
I’m one of the guys that actually like ripper guns lol
Idk I think they’re balanced somewhat ok for melee og
Besides the twinlink
See there’s ur answer
Nah
He's ok with ogryn guns being sub brauto performance too

Oh well
Fatshark knows what they are doing
but do you know what youre doing
Yes 
Bold of you to assume I know what I'm doing
I Literally do

Because I'm shilling for Fatshark
Fatshark has never done anything wrong

It works but it noticeably synergizes with Exe Stance
yeah, that is true. I tend to run more team-focus builds so that's why I prefer VoC and even smokes lately
Having foresight of where enemies come from, combined with the ranged damage pushing breakpoints, and stun immunity giving you constant wiggle room if you're caught slipping by a poxwalker or something, all adds up very well for Helbore in particular
It's support in the sense that you can just shut down specialists before they become an actual issue in the first place.
And admittedly, the setup you'd want to use Helbore on, actually does provide some room for Born Leader
also toughness regen means gunners and such dont put as much pressure on you
So it can very much be support for your team when you're constantly circumventing chip damage for them just by being next to them and doing your job.
fair point
i love funny laser drill build
Which of the revolvers is better? Making a cowboy build and the one where you brace instead of aiming would be appropriate but it deals less damage so idk
Does have more ammo tho which is nice
2a is one of the best guns in the game
Damn
the bracing one kinda just sucks ass imo
its got horrible accuracy all round so its kinda just like a shitty closeranged revolver
lot less armor punch too
Damn, that's a shame, I find that one's aiming more comfortable tbh
im sure theres a use for it but overall the precise revolver is way better
and one of the strongest weapons in the game
if not the outright strongest in raw/crit damage
ranged weapon*
Boss killer
But it doesn't bode well for vet specifically
I'd run it on Arby or Scum though
definitely doesn't suck
<@&735928989146939404>
Thanks for the ping! I swear its every day with these things
i horde all the mr beast crypto bucks to myself

thank you mario
yeah
so good
Smoke grenades should extinguish Scab Bomber's flames
I will say it here and i will say it over and over again.
agreed
it'd be nice but it's not like smokes need to be stronger
why not?
smokes can be good in havoc but they're honestly kinda pointless in anything lower
cause they're really good and arguably vet's best nades on certain maps / modifiets
arguably is doing all the heavy lifting in that statement
point is smokes are very good as is and don't need a buff
smokes should be a good pick all around but they fall into niche. 🥀
smokes are good at what they do and what they do is good
the literal only problem is the visibility
smokes aren't really niche, i wouldn't say that
whar
it does require more proper execution than just
throw at horde
throw at ogryn
Smoke cloud effect: 5.5m radius, lasts for 15s; disables HUD nameplates of allies; players inside smoke are considered 'concealed' which alters the line of sight distance requirement of enemies during target selection; if a player holds aggro of an enemy who is in melee combat, the smoke has no effect on enemy perception; if a player holds aggro of an enemy who is in ranged combat, then the smoke makes the ranged enemy stop firing and change positions (this includes Sniper; Reaper is less likely to reposition); Gunners and Reaper when they are inside the smoke cloud's area of effect themselves keep firing at a player's last known position; Pox Hounds cannot lock on a player who is inside smoke cloud's area of effect and will keep circling the cloud; Trapper and Flamers need to be closer to players in order to start their shooting action; no effect on Bombers, Mutants, Poxburster
good in a gamemode that prob 3% of players play
how is that not niche lol
bubble and smoke really don't add much value outside of high havoc
Games enemy AI is just too fucky for me to rely on smokes, that is my personal opinion.
I may suck and my smokeless havoc 40 runs will probably suffer, but I enjoy the other nades far more.
i mean i don't think that's much point talking outside of high havoc cause everything is more than fine outside of it
yeah, outside of havoc you can run even the most shitpost build and be fine
they could use some buffs to utility
smokes have value in solos and duos auric
smokes/bubble are just a waste of outside of high havoc
stam regen or fire extinguishing
ok so you went from a gamemode that less than 3% of the playerbase plays, to a gamemode that prob 1% of the playerbase plays
thanks for making my point
idk why you're so mad 😭
ok you don't need to care
can we kiss already 
🤷♀️
hold it, niche and useless are not the same.
well he's not the one dying on this hill, why would i argue with him 🤔
wdym dying on this hill, we expressed the same opinion and you decided to chase it with me
idk why you're being rude like
and feel better 
i don't think i said anything against you
You guys have no idea how many times i've died to Scab Bomber spams
i think i have an idea lol new spawns have been crazy after crusher changes
A smoke grenade build would’ve fixed that unironically
Smokes countering them fckers could be a great thing
all u need is one decent vet and theyre not a problem
biggest injection of TOX since launch
the only times I've noticed games lost to bomberspams is when we have dogshit ranged capability
smokes don't do anything vs bombers actually i fear
1 every 100 games with pubs (unless i'm the one playing vet)
smoke moment
yeah if I play vet specialists are rarely big threats
I mostly play Auric Maelstorm & Havoc 40s as Vet and i still think Scab Bombers are the bane to my existence.
but then occasionally you might get a shout focus target vet with their head up their ass targetting the shotgunners
do yhou play exe stance
to be fair the bomber changes made it so they can chuck 1-2 bombs before even being in anywhere shootable
Shout and Stealth i hardly use exe stance.
the problem is they fill a niche thats remedied by player skill, i.e. dodging ranged damage and positioning
theres your problem
exe stance is an absolute hard counter to specialists
if youre running stealth and shout your gonna struggle more
and have less control over the game
That's a really hot take ngl
is it?
you could make the same argument for bubble to an extent, but inferno staff 5-fold tops vet mixed horde damage, doesn't obscure your vision, and provides buffs to the team
i mean ES does actually counter specialists pretty hard
it's pretty hot for the general community rn
i think shout is still seen as the meta option by many
pls
dare I say it lets you have the most control over the game
I mean, shout is just amazing i could rev everyone in exchange for ES?
depending on your skill level
the few times ive played with smoke vets the amount of smoke spam is obnoxious
hmm 5 foot smoke wall or 15 foot funnel of blue flame…
if people go down people go down but I guarantee you bombers would rarely be an issue if you run exe
That was probably me
Alone
it just needs more skill
💀
stealth fills a niche exe doesnt fill tho
lemme test that sometime
But regardless, i stand by my statement
youd have to find a teammate that replaces your shout tho
prolly gonna need a chorus zealot
Smoke greandes should extinguish Scab Bomber's flames.
or your stealth also replaced by zealot
that would make smoke tooooooo strong
smoke is already really good in the highest difficultiues
which is what i was saying before being told i was dying on a hill
why would you be dying on a hill bro 💀
alone xd
have the redditors from r/darktide infiltrated vet chat
because he thinks that a blitz only good for h40 doesn't need changes
well firstly, they
No no I agree
#buffSmokes
god forbid it gets a bit more utility to make it relevant outside of h40 lol
I mean what else are you thinking to add to smoke to make it more viable
I dont mind it sticking in a niche
putting out fires and tox gas
would be my vote
but i said exactly what Dave said lol, that if it were to extinguish fire from bombs it would be too strong
i know path also has ideas
exactly
why doe… smoke being able to do more would be reddit chungus pog…
i mean if you only want smoke to be good in h40, keep it the way it currently is
bring back the smoke bug where u could go out of it and itd be considered still in 👍
i will simply continue not taking it
this would just make it absolutely insane
Im sorry this is outrageous
lol what
there are ways to balance it
it could be a delayed effect
it wouldn't even outlast pox gas
it'd still be weaker than bubble
smoke dominates higher difficulties? 
ok who da hell still running krak
in hk they only accept vets if u take smokes so i would say ues
Yes, i play on Hong Kong servers and they straight up kick or tell me to "go the hell" if i don't switch to smokes
bombers are a good place within the game right now
the only counter to them is killing them
their presence makes the game difficult and should not have any counter to their abilities through blitzes imo
ya that's crazy im sorry
well you're trying to party up with people who get off on CBT
so nobody is going to be right in the head 🤷
eh i think it's dumb some of the spots bombers can throw while being completely unshootable tbh
a fuckin bomber threw a grenade into the airlock
I'm from Asia man i don't have a choice. I'm not playing in western servers with 250+ ping lmao
I enjoy the difficulty tbh but it does get outrageous in expeditions
definitely try exe in your maelstroms first and figure out a build for that ability
if you havent tried exe much
im telling you tho exe is a drug
depending on your skill level you'll barely wanna use anything else
Is there anyone on asia servers?
I wasnt getting any games
Mostly on Hong Kong servers both lower and higher difficulties
Sometimes it do be empty yeah
The asia/oceania servers sound like a fever dream
Im in japan and play west coast servers tbh, but yeah those hoes were empty
I'm sorry but every time I hear something about HK servers
It just sounds so boring dude.
It really does just sound like they care far too much about winning.
guess the idiot left
Reminds me of the shieldgryn I ran into a few days ago that insisted I ran chorus
In my 40
He wants bedtime story
ultimate comp of 2 bubbles 2 book
And I just straight up told him actually do something other than sit with a shield and be useless
Rock a bye baby lullaby for babies to go to sleep is a soft and relaxing baby sleep music playlist with cute little penguins. Rock a bye baby lullaby for bab...
what if they just rlly want to read
I'm usually not that toxic but I'm not here hosting my lobby to cater to someone's desire to win
I just wanna have fun bro
Taunt shield ogryns that hold block are the only thing that triggers me
Planting shield against 1 weakened plague ogryn
Oh i wish I recorded this
PLEASE ATTACK BRO
My dude was doing FUCKING NOTHING
nah theyre the tank 🙃
OH THERES GUNNERS? LEMME JUST STAY IN ONE PLACE AND BLOCK THEIR GUNFIRE FOR NO FUCKING REASON OTHER THAN TO DO IT
tank for the wall behind you bro
Poor guy thought he was helping
Idk how people just stand there. If I'm blocking I'm at least walking towards them a) so I'm actually playing the game and b) because my waddle looks funny
He was annoying too so I don't feel bad about getting a little spicy about it
true and real
IM TONKING PLEASE KILL IT IM SCARED
Ogryn in the corner with the DH they also woke up:
This instills rage in me.
I've had ogryns just go and deliberately do that without saying a word only for the game to snowball because they expected the team to deal with it
Except it's a bit different when I have a horde that makes up the population of Madagascar
I always think it's funny in DT when people purposefully wake up a havoc DH cause "haha I'm gonna kill it" then the run snowballs out of control
I'm not even mad about waking up the DH
I like fighting DHs
It's more when it's the person that can't actually do anything by themselves to it also decides to take it upon themselves to make it everyone else's problem
If it's Asia, the only thing that matters is winning.
And the crazy thing is that if they simply ya know
Mention it
Maybe, we'll actually be ready for that fight.
If only this was a shared sentiment.
Losing is being a failure and you are taught death is better than failing.
Man that really does just sound depressing.
Nah I wish my randoms were instilled with this belief sometimes
Because death is better than shame.
Is why young me would spend 4 hours soloing a raid intended for 10.
Everyone left/gave up.
Honestly another thing about the winning
This is exactly why I don't like demotion.
Like it's just annoying that you can have a 40. Can't demote anymore and all but naturally you are still gonna get people that aren't and will join a 40 expecting a win with the most optimal setups possible to do so
@slow sky like that streamer you ran into one time 
Why the system is pointless, just let us pick whatever we want.
