nice for bulwarks and..... yeah

lavish flame
#

Faster swap

twin wagon
#

hi grawr

lavish flame
#

Hello

ripe quest
#

It definitely needs a buff. I still like the idea of doubling base damage and halving adms as a side thing.

fading vale
#

I mean agri isnt going to quickly kill multiple bulwarks

lavish flame
#

On vet its solid AF

ripe quest
twin wagon
#

Agri let's you open the bulwark and throw a knife at em

gray ice
lavish flame
twin wagon
#

Or open them up for more efficient plasma shots from vet

ripe quest
fading vale
#

they just need separate bolters for vet and zealot

twin wagon
#

yes

lean lark
#

i disagree

twin wagon
#

Give zealot a homemade bolter

lean lark
#

but im not gonna bother bashing my criticism

twin wagon
#

Or a combi bolter flamer, that could be fun

lavish flame
fading vale
#

I loved bolter when you could use it as a shotgun rather well

#

now it's just gonna kill fewer things than literally any other gun

lavish flame
#

The fullauto is just bad by design

fading vale
#

and run out of ammo faster

lavish flame
#

Duh

tall palm
#

give us the godwyn fatshark staregryn

ripe quest
fading vale
#

also if they deleted player suppression from the game entirely that would be great

twin wagon
#

Combi bolter/flamer when, what if our zealots want to snort promethium after unloading into a patrol

dense field
#

But yeah

#

More variants more gooder

ripe quest
twin wagon
lavish flame
tall palm
#

if we were to get any bolter variants im thinking it'd be a pistol

lavish flame
#

Thats like saying revolver needs a buff cos the pistol whip is ass

#

Or helbore needs a buff cos the hipfire is ass

fading vale
#

has there ever been a player that is like, wow this random bullshit wiggling when I ADS is fun and engaging

twin wagon
#

It's been ages since I had to take cover outside of psyker...

tall palm
#

a bolt pistol would be kinda shit seeing as in lore they only hold like 8 rounds a mag

lavish flame
#

So i cant comment

tall palm
#

forget i mentioned it

fading vale
#

how does it make cover useful?

ripe quest
#

yes

#

totes

twin wagon
#

That is assuming the cover is working...

#

It doesn't even for min size psyker on occasion

fading vale
#

I would never ever play like that, nobody really uses cover and half the time you get shot through it

#

I'll just run at them with things that don't get suppressed or melee them

twin wagon
#

That is the bigger issue
When cover works then they can increase shooter and gunner numbers heavily as well as buff shotgunners back to dangerous levels

#

or introduce the beta ambushes...

lavish flame
#

Ngl i dont mind suppression that much.

#

But i also dont use the MG12

twin wagon
#

It shouldn't affect throwing knives

fading vale
#

it just makes specific guns feel really terrible unless you are a vet

#

which is pointless

ripe quest
# lavish flame Helbore hipfire then?

That weapon is a slow firing precision weapon. It hits hard and doesn't get a mechanics change when hipfiring, so you want the ADS for the accuracy. Boltgun has a damage dump on the hipfire, less accuracy and control for far higher DPS. The ADS is for precision. It's not a comparable weapon for this.

lavish flame
#

It hits as hard as precision weapons

ripe quest
#

That's what I'm saying

surreal solstice
lavish flame
#

Emergency mag dump

ripe quest
#

I don't see an emergency magdump on a helbore

lavish flame
#

It does that job fine

#

A poorly aimed mag dump still stops you from getting pasted by a single crusher

dense field
#

Bayo

lavish flame
#

Working as intended

tall palm
#

blessings for the revolver?

#

the og one

lavish flame
#

Hamd cannon surg

ripe quest
tall palm
#

worth putting crucian roulette on it?

lavish flame
#

Its not the primary use case of the weapon

ripe quest
lavish flame
#

Otherwise the ADS is pointless

surreal solstice
ripe quest
#

CR kinda works but it's just not fun. Revolver really likes the guaranteed crit.

tall palm
#

i have both stored tbh

surreal solstice
#

Crucian works well with newvolver

tall palm
#

so surgical and hand cannon?

surreal solstice
#

Or gloryhunter

blazing fossil
#

lol i forgot how good the HS6 is at killing ragers

tall palm
#

i have glory hunter stored i think

zinc talon

#

I like toughness, especially when there's gunner conga line
Tho it require a melee that can deal with carapace

oak ermine
#

Or just busy eating rashuns in the comfy confines of the scruffy vest

ripe quest

zinc talon
#

BOLTER HIP FIRE IS AN INTENTIONAL ANNOYANCE TO NEGATIVELY REWARD PRIMARILY AIMING DOWN THE SIGHT

#

TO MAKE THE GUN FEEL HEAVY AND SLOW TO BRING TO BEAR

#

IT IS RETARDICULOUS

surreal solstice
#

MAKE BOULDER FULL AUTO ONLY

zinc talon
#

just make the fuckin thing less accurate at the hip and stop making the gun primary fire at 5-10m and ADS sniping beyond

#

naw they'd break our shoulders and wrists cuz of the calibre

surreal solstice
#

Worth it tho

ripe quest
#

Hard to compete with that.

autumn shadow
zinc talon
#

the whole thing is human sized bolters balance out the recoil of the mass reactive shell by being intentionally, silly stupid heavy

#

because legion issue bolters are one and a half or twice again as big

#

so the thing needs to be laser beam accurate at the hip, eventually, standing still

#

slow to shoulder

surreal solstice
zinc talon
#

and then generally pretty close shot groupings with trigger discipline

#

it needs to fire at a delay to your movements

ripe quest
#

Just give it ripper mechanics where the ADS is a brace that is full auto and the hip fire is a single fire or burst.

zinc talon
#

so if you're swinging right and shooting the shots come after your target because of the weight of the gun being brought round

autumn shadow
zinc talon
#

they have to go a certain distance

#

as a safety to the operator

#

kinda like how rpgs don't arm themselves for 30 or whatever feet after being fired

autumn shadow
zinc talon
#

that's why you can nail a smol every now and again and he just looks at you

#

and stabs you for six health before you end him

#

the round didn't go off

surreal solstice
zinc talon
autumn shadow
#

Wouldn’t most of the recoil be from launching that large of a calibre out of the barrel so technically shouldn’t it be less recoil than it is?

surreal solstice
#

...what whatthefuck_heresy

dense field
#

I can't read that

zinc talon
#

so there's 2 bits to it

#

generally self propelled rounds died after the gyrojet

#

but the bolter uses both

autumn shadow
#

It wouldn’t require as much force to just eject it out of the barrel than to fire it solely from the barrel

zinc talon
#

it's a .99 caliber cuz james workshop has never seen a real gun in his life

#

the round itself has powder, that's what you see coming out the barrel

surreal solstice
#

.75 i think

zinc talon
#

but that's to throw the mass reactive shell far enough it ignites itself

surreal solstice
#

And .998 KEKW_ogryn

zinc talon
#

and also the detonation arms the mass reactive bit

autumn shadow
zinc talon
#

there it is, lol

#

yeah, everyone's right

autumn shadow
#

It shouldn’t have as much recoil since that’s the case

zinc talon
#

it's a self propelled 40mm grenade with a .50 caliber powder charge behind it

#

cuz the bullets are so heavy the powder needed to achieve the same thing would rip the gun apart

autumn shadow
#

Do we know the equivalent powder charge that are actually in them

surreal solstice
#

Even GW doesn't

autumn shadow
zinc talon
#

also, some guy in Northumbrian Cuckinton-on-Shite county, england, wrote the schematics for the bolter almost fifty years ago

surreal solstice
#

I mean in terms of technicalities, GW stuff is mostly hillarious

zinc talon
#

yeah it's best to play it fast and loose on this kinda stuff

autumn shadow
#

But we need the schematics for the sized down rounds

zinc talon
surreal solstice
#

WHAT THE MOTHERFUCK

autumn shadow
#

It’s beautiful

surreal solstice

autumn shadow
#

Weapon customization mod

zinc talon
#

so I'm uh

autumn shadow
#

And extended weapon customization mod

zinc talon
#

well I don't think it's possible to even know which rounds those actually belong in

dense field
#

Belt fed drum cylinder magazine

zinc talon
#

they look to me like revolver or bolter rounds

dense field
#

It would be perfect if it was also a bolt action rifle

autumn shadow
#

That looks more like a medium artillery sized round

zinc talon
surreal solstice
oak ermine
#

It unfortunately is a headhunter Autogun, from the looks of it

zinc talon
autumn shadow
#

Also @zinc talon I’ve found that painting the weapon pink with for the drip makes any monstrosity look at least 50% worse

zinc talon
#

that's what I mean

#

I have no idea what weapon that drum fits into

#

and I've uh, played a mission or two

autumn shadow
#

Ripper guns

#

Looks like a skin

surreal solstice
zinc talon
#

I don't think so, it's a 13 round wheel

#

12 maybe

#

it's the same setup as a revolver wheel

autumn shadow
#

But it’s inside the mag so you should never see it

surreal solstice
zinc talon
#

lemme see if I still have that insult before god in my inventory,

#

I'll check

#

oh, it's a double round per cylinder setup

cinder roost
zinc talon
#

so 22-24 total

autumn shadow
#

Yeah it’s bound to be ripper guns

surreal solstice

#

Mmmmm

hm

#

I want to say a shredder

autumn shadow
#

Must put on purgatus staff

#

Surely it points the barrel where the fire will go

zinc talon
#

yep, works pretty well on the voidstrike tbh

#

the purge I think comes out of your left hand though

autumn shadow
#

I also love just putting my melee weapon as the stick

left iron
#

We didnt get a single horde after the mid event at smelter, even in the finale feelspepospin

autumn shadow
#

thwack

left iron
#

What the fuck

zinc talon
autumn shadow
#

I have a laspistol with invisible mags

cinder roost
#

I think its a bug in the mod

autumn shadow
#

Yeah it happens when you change the receiver

zinc talon
#

so these are stubber rounds

autumn shadow
#

Yes

zinc talon
#

oh the dimentions squished it down

left iron
#

I almost killed as many ranged elites as trash mobs

zinc talon
#

there we go

autumn shadow
zinc talon
#

stubber rounds

left iron
autumn shadow
#

That’s why

left iron
#

What, it just removes the hordes?

autumn shadow
#

It prioitizes ranged enemies

left iron
#

Well, i guess it prioritized their wellbeing this time around

#

They all stayed home

zinc talon
#

they're clipped into the magazines, can't get a calibre just spinning the gun

autumn shadow
#

Measure based off the barrel exit

zinc talon
autumn shadow

Compared to ogryn standing next to puny

autumn shadow
#

Why

steep flame
autumn shadow
# zinc talon

Is it just me or does it look like a buffer stubby .50 cal

steep flame
#

kinda reminiscent of the ares shrike

#

only its spitting spent shell casings into your face

autumn shadow
#

What’s a few casings?

steep flame
#

more like its an engineering oversight that could be easily fixed

autumn shadow
#

Meh

desert vessel
#

is there an optimal attack pattern for XV evis

steep flame
#

is that the new one?

#

spam

#

for hordes atleast

#

spam lights and for heavier armoured opponents heavy spam

autumn shadow
#

For single I just prefer special heavy

desert vessel
#

do you special for maulers

zinc talon
#

bolter rounds

desert vessel
#

or is heavy spam enough

steep flame
#

in mixed hordes focus the heavy targets

steep flame
#

do what feels best

autumn shadow
#

For hordes with bigger threats isn’t it more optimal to do special lights?

steep flame

#

lol like hearing new dialogue, my zealot just told some psyker not to mention some saint again, as her name should burn your lips

oak ermine
# desert vessel is there an optimal attack pattern for XV evis

Spam light for many enemies in your face at once, except when a big elite is involved (try to kill the big elite first-most).
Special heavy Rev attack for big boys. Regular heavy for small elites or certain singular, non-elite enemies (but 2x light on their head might be just as good). Try to avoid Heavy 2, it’s painfully slow to chain from Heavy 1

autumn shadow
oak ermine
#

And special heavy revs for monsters as well, ideally their faces

blazing fossil

#

quick Q: for crit build zealot, what combination of curios will be best? 2HP+1TG or something different? or its just basically personal preference?

steep flame
#

still waiting for an admech class

autumn shadow
oak ermine
desert vessel
oak ermine
#

I play 3x toughness for instance

steep flame
oak ermine
#

Because I take big hits rarely enough that I would rather avoid taking chip damage altogether

steep flame
#

so thats probably where they've all gone

autumn shadow
#

If your playing crit zealot isn’t toughness almost always better especially with the one +50% toughness damage reduction on crit

oak ermine
ember yew
#

🍖

desert vessel
#

what curios do you want for martyrdom?

dense field
#

Wounds

#

duh

oak ermine
#

And the TDR on Crit is decent, but Second Wind and toughness from Fury also become much more relevant

oak ermine
zinc talon
autumn shadow
zinc talon
#

but that's every round you can see

surreal solstice
oak ermine
#

I saw some players with 2x wounds, but I personally prefer 3

zinc talon
#

bolter rounds are not stamped, because fucking of course

desert vessel
#

do I get hp on the substats? for martyrdom

#

or toughness?

oak ermine

k, ty

absolutely disgusted that no ones made a stormbolter skin for a brautogun or something

but that one is really op with HS

#

and usable with hammer

autumn shadow
#

I haven’t paid any attention but does the bolter eject anything to the side

lusty harness

Saw my first level 999 zealot today

yeah I can't replicated it

I’ve seen someone at I believe lvl 1763

so far max one i saw is 1400 Ogryn and 1282 veteran

autumn shadow
#

I don’t pay attention to that while firing I focus on heretics being split in half

#

I'm a day 1 playur and my most played character has like 400

#

I’ve got around the 1200 hours and my highest class is vet at around 400

#

Yeah I’m day 1 too

yep someone I squad up with is 1750 and change

and they have less hours than I do

#

Psucker

autumn shadow
#

Oh

olive raven
#

For certain psyker or dead shot vet, one stamina curios is acceptable

autumn shadow
#

Also is it just me or is psyker the most boring class to play

olive raven
#

For martyrdom, 3x wound is the usual

olive raven
ember yew
#

wheres my link to best martyrdom curios

surreal solstice
# zinc talon

You actually use scopes?
Because for me they are kinda bugged, recoil and spread is not working properly on full auto on agri infauto
Everything is dandy in psykhanium

olive raven
#

No.

autumn shadow
#

If your doing martyrdom wouldn’t it be 1 wound 1 hp 1 toughness

olive raven
#

Wounds are what give martyrdom power

autumn shadow
#

Or is it 2 wound 1 toughness

olive raven
#

And you’d want toughness as you already have a baseline HP

olive raven
olive raven
#

^that is not the best except maybe for farming

autumn shadow
#

Yeah

olive raven
#

The best martyrdom curios look like this

#

3x wound - Gunner res/HP/Tough

autumn shadow
#

I would take probably 1 corruption resistance over 1 of the gunner resistance

olive raven
#

It’s not really worth it, especially on Martyrdom

ember yew
#

its only for grimms though

#

if it was universal

#

would be ok

surreal solstice
#

Cor res is only useful against bonbon

autumn shadow
#

No normal corruption

olive raven
#

If you got some reason do grims, be my guest

#

But corruption isn’t that big an issue if you skills are there

autumn shadow
#

There’s 2 versions 1 normal 1 grim

olive raven
#

And actually push the bursters 💀

ember yew
#

should just combine them

wooden river
#

It's like how we have Bomber resist and... Tox Flamer resist

autumn shadow
wooden river
#

if it were generic fire resist, it'd be worth running

lusty harness
#

Should just be fire resist imo

olive raven
#

I really wouldn’t run corruption resistance as it won’t be that big an issue

wooden river
#

Corruption resist is useful for Twins hard mode

#

but that's about it

ember yew
#

its just bloated too much

olive raven
wooden river
#

Mutant resist is also dumb

olive raven
#

But it’s still horrendous

autumn shadow
#

Also if you are running the beacon of purity corruption resistance is useless

wooden river
oak ermine
#

By design, there’s been defensive properties prepared for each special enemy type IIRC

surreal solstice
#

Grim res is uselessy on marty anyway, because your health will be lower than corruption meter most of the time KEKW_ogryn

oak ermine
#

Maybe except the trapper?

olive raven
oak ermine
#

But not all of them are in use

olive raven
#

Imagine pre-fix fire giving corruption too 💀

oak ermine
#

Say, there’s no perk for bursters, but curio source code does mention a property like that

olive raven
#

Holy fuck that would be amazing

wooden river
#

but that is so so niche lol

#

Burster resist would be on all of my non-ogryn characters

#

100%

#

they're probably the worst special right now

olive raven
#

Also just

#

Play a like

#

8m from your team

#

So they can’t burster you

ember yew
#

question

olive raven
#

Never bunch up super tight 💀

autumn shadow
#

Doesn’t normal corruption resist counter burster corruption

wooden river
#

It does

olive raven
#

I’d assume it would

ember yew
#

does gunner resist affect shotgunners or just tratatata guys

wooden river
#

there's an argument for it on psyker/vet

oak ermine
ember yew
autumn shadow
#

Also does anyone else hate shotgunners with a passion

ember yew
#

where my

olive raven
ember yew
#

shotgunners resist on curios then

wooden river
#

since a single burster will fill up roughly 1/4 of your health bar as those two classes, before any damage resist and with 200hp

olive raven
#

Idk what curios you running on those 💀

#

Cuz it’ll only take an eighth of mine

#

On psyker

wooden river
#

yeah the two moddable slots are already taken by +gunner and +toughness/hp/sniper res anyway

autumn shadow
#

Can’t you just slide to avoid sniper

wooden river
#

no way you're only taking an eighth corruption from a point-blank burster lol

olive raven
#

Realistically the best curios perks to lock in are Tough and Gunner res, the third perk is a whatever

olive raven
wooden river
#

People fixate on sniper resistance, even if it is useful for psyker/vet

olive raven
#

Cuz if you build it right, a sniper shot won’t break a full wound

ember yew
wooden river
#

it's a nice safety net for a fairly uncommon scenario (getting plugged by a sniper)

olive raven
ember yew
#

id swap that in like 3 secs

surreal solstice
#

I'd be more than willing to sacrifice perk slot for bursters until fatshits learn to fucking code their audio

wooden river
#

it's quite a bit though

olive raven
#

My zealot gets knocked to roughly 180-200? HP

wooden river
#

I run 1 hp/2 toughness on psyker and vet

olive raven
#

When I have 212 tough and 231 HP

#

without damage reduction outside passive nodes

#

If good balance is up it’s a bit better

wooden river
#

good balance is underrated

#

or at least, people don't talk about it that often

#

when it's realistically up almost the entire time during a horde

olive raven
#

It’s usually point tax, I take it over duelist usually

#

And usually cuz I have second wind

#

So the synergy is insane

#

15% toughness and 1/4 DR on dodge is wildly good

wooden river
#

it's very nice

olive raven
#

it’s great proccing good balance right before a mutie grabs me so I take a total of two HP damage

autumn shadow
#

We need the capability to go up the talent tree on connected nodes

olive raven
#

That

#

Jesus

#

God no

surreal solstice
#

Balance works on toughness, right?

olive raven
#

Player power would be insane 💀

olive raven
wooden river
#

Good Balance works on health and toughness

autumn shadow
#

It would mostly be used to avoid certain point taxes

olive raven
#

I’m in the firm opinion that

#

Using second wind/good balance

#

Makes you a better player

#

As it allows you to see when dodges are properly done

autumn shadow
#

Also psyker tree

olive raven
autumn shadow
#

Yeah

olive raven
#

You’d have the same point taxes

autumn shadow
#

But other trees yes

surreal solstice
#

I'm honestly having a hard time deciding between duelist and balance

olive raven
#

What weapon

wooden river
#

Depends on which weapon you're using

surreal solstice
#

Mk 15 evi

olive raven
#

I’d go good balance

#

Idk how good the weak point multiplier even is on an evis

autumn shadow
#

Also I’ve been loving the high attack version of the heavy sword recently

olive raven
#

But from memory is isn’t great

autumn shadow
#

The tan one

olive raven
#

That

surreal solstice
#

15 is rather good, imo
I wondered how it would work on bosses
With 4 crits in a row

olive raven
#

Doesn’t help 💀

autumn shadow
#

Isn’t it the the mark 9 or something

olive raven
#

Okay mark 9

#

Tbh HS6 is better

#

better elite TTK in exchange for horde clear taking two more swings

#

But mk9 is quite nice too

blazing fossil
#

honestly the heavy swords are tiring as they do nothing to carapace

autumn shadow
#

I love my mk 9 cause I put +25 maniac on it

#

The one shots are beautiful

blazing fossil
#

i'll take a rashad over the swords tbh

autumn shadow
#

I also run flak on it

wooden river
#

when we gettin dual rashads

olive raven
olive raven
#

Maniac > Flak for heavy swords

#

Deathblow + Headtaker best blessing combo

autumn shadow
wooden river
#

It's prob gonna be dual tac axes if we get dual axes at all

autumn shadow
wooden river
#

easier to wield

olive raven
wooden river
#

and they're more like hatchets

blazing fossil
#

here is mine, its fun but I hate going up against crushers with it

zinc talon
blazing fossil
#

mauler packs you can aim for chest

zinc talon
#

can't pare down the plasma or flamer to any smaller than about this

autumn shadow
#

This is what my sword looks like atm

zinc talon
#

oh well

olive raven
#

So the thing with heavy swords against crushers

#

Yea it’ll take 3-5 seconds to kill it

autumn shadow
#

💩

olive raven
#

But the trick is

zinc talon
#

they'll just have to make my plasma and flamer pistols after they're done making my bolt pistol

olive raven
#

Special->Heavy it

olive raven

#

alternate to keep them staggered

olive raven
#

Yea that’s why you make up for it with a ranged that’s good against carapace

#

Bolter, revolver, etc

autumn shadow
#

Bolter

zinc talon
#

I really should get around to actually using these

autumn shadow
#

Isn’t deathblow about on par with wrath on the sword

zinc talon
#

that rampage/headtaker 9 turned me off to heavy swords entirely, it was so silly strong back when I got it the game became unironically boring

#

so I dropped it/heavies and transcended to krhshrrhshr

autumn shadow
#

Also this is the perk setup I use with my sword

compact hinge
#

But where's my pistol

dense field
#

MELTA

#

INFERNO PITOL WHERE

naive star
#

But momentum build instead with that Fury rush

autumn shadow
#

I left the gun on default cause I have yet to get a good gun to pair it with

#

Also you all would be jealous I got that sword as a mission reward it’s a 376

fleet zealot
#

Noooo

naive star
#

Id change Wrath in it

dense field
#

Wrath is not good on hs

compact hinge
#

If I had a ballistic knife secondary I would use it

autumn shadow
#

Can’t wrath give you more cleave overall cause isn’t the other one just ignore hit mass

fleet zealot
#

Cleave stat from wrath and sweep do not do anything on heavysword because the weapon already has massive cleave

naive star
#

Im on a lookout for knife, unlucky with getting good base to work with (also low lvl blessings)

#

RNG kinda steered me to the Heavy Sword, and its great at horde clear

olive raven
#

Deathblow is excessively better than wrath

fleet zealot
#

Ignoring hitmass lets you apply first target damage to 4 enemies and kill 4 elites in one swing

naive star
#

Yeah im running Deathblow+Headtaker

olive raven
#

There’s a massive different between ignoring hit mass and increasing hit mass you can cleave

fleet zealot
#

Cleave does nothing for hsword

autumn shadow
#

I want imidiatly

olive raven
#

If you basically

#

Line up

naive star
#

Deathblow allows you to deal full dmg to like 4 targets at once, so one swing often decapitates 4 targets

olive raven
#

8 ragers

#

You can ignore the hit mass on all if you weak point kill them

#

Which is fucking insane

autumn shadow
#

I get the point now

fleet zealot
#

Since it already hits through everything by default you dont need cleave

naive star
#

Im talking like expert on this matter, yet i got schooled it in here just few days ago 😅

fleet zealot
#

The new evi doesnt want sweep/cleave for the opposite reason, it’s horizontal strikes can only damage 3 enemies regardless of cleave

Also I had no choice but to reword both flat perks on the sword cause they were really bad

It’s much better than you think

fleet zealot
#

Crit is strictly better on dclaws and evis and chsword

#

It is much worse than what you think

#

Hsword has average crit chance and no synergistic blessings

autumn shadow
#

It has a base crit of 5%

fleet zealot
#

And it has a low/average finesse score

autumn shadow
#

If you get the extra finess perk and then the crit keystone the damage goes through the roof

fleet zealot
#

Dclaw, chsword and eviscerator are just better

dense field
#

You already have 25% crit chance from fury and 5% innate crit chance

#

It's enough

#

Finesse type damage only boosts the bonus damage you would get from crit/weakspot

dense field

fleet zealot
autumn shadow
#

That’s damage not bonus amount

fleet zealot
#

So about 15% actual bonus because hsword

dense field
#

It's not as good as you think, I have to agree

fleet zealot
#

Crit damage weakspot damage finesse damage is calculated poorly

autumn shadow
#

Then fatshark need to do a better job wording

fleet zealot
#

Dclaw rolls finesse and has a high finesse base so it benefits more with crit than hsword ever will

blazing fossil
#

whats ultimate crusher sniping bolter setup? this?

fleet zealot
#

Hsword always gets the most out of momentum and/or martyrdom

fleet zealot
#

Surgical to pinning or even shattering to pinning fire

blazing fossil
#

oh ok, ill farm one

fleet zealot
#

With damnation level numbers and bolters general clunkiness surgical is wasted on zealot

autumn shadow
#

Surgical to pinning

fleet zealot
#

You want to chastise and magdump

#

God game’s lantern on mobile sucks with all the ads

dense field
#

Do you specifically want to snipe?

fleet zealot
#

If you want to snipe go play vet

dense field
#

Then surgical pinning.

#

If you want to magdump then probably shattering pinning

fleet zealot
#

And use a surgical bolter for 1 match before going to the mk3 helbore, plasma, or revolver

dense field
#

Or cavalcade pinning

#

idk

autumn shadow
#

Even then on vet wouldn’t pinning still be better

fleet zealot
#

It is weird but shattering got nerfed recently

#

I dont think the tooltip is updated

Someone probably left as you were joining i guess

Enjoy your new strike team

lean lark
#

zealot runs shattering pinning with flak and cara if you want to use the bolter as anti-armor

Or is it orthos damnation

You'll maybe be fine

#

Also how viable is knife in auric

#

It feels like it does 0 damage to armour

Unless I'm using it wrong

fleet zealot
fleet zealot
#

you need uncanny strike

#

then it is precog, executor, or if you are so deadset on going bleed and i'm not gonna argue with you about it, go flesh tearer

perks, maniac, flak, unyielding, carapace, and elites all good/great choices

Who cares about teammates though, you do you

knife is viable

It is working and it is fun

Silly poker go brrr

fleet zealot
#

it's just takes a lot of work and avoiding fatshark traps

for mediocre rewards

dense field
#

You just need a lot of effort to get mediocre results

fleet zealot
#

basically as C tier as C tier can get

#

We rate every other weapon off the BiS, I'll rate knife off BiS too even tho people seem allergic to it

dense field
#

It's addictive

#

all these animations

compact hinge
#

I just saw a very small very fast knife zealot once

fleet zealot
#

and knife with BiS and used properly is fine

dense field
#

and speed

compact hinge
#

And decided that should be me

dense field
#

If the knife was a tiny bit better it would be mainstream

fleet zealot
#

yea that is the problem cause buff knife and you have all the crit damage weakspot damage perk enjoyers with their lacerate flesh tearer knives

coming in and doing sub 200k damage

Well, now I'm in a really nice comfortable place with my zealot so far. could use some upgrades but at this rate I just want a great crucis 2 for shroudfield-momentum stuff and a knife for the chastise-fury setup.

#

Crit backstabs feel pretty good.

dense field
#

Get a good claw or a HS before the knife

fiery ingot
#

im also grinding for the claw

#

keen to try it with piety setup

dense field
#

It's a very fun weapon

wooden river
#

Stealth Knife is fun, but I always end up back at caxe and crusher/ironhelm

#

running around as an axe gremlin is more satisfying to me in the long run

blazing fossil
#

ok 1 shotting muties is bringing me back to the hs6

dense field
#

caxe is just great

fiery ingot
#

well caxe is the best out there from what i've heard

wooden river

two of the three caxes, that is

fiery ingot

It's a great all-rounder weapon

good thing you can make the others look like an Achlys with the commisary skin

fiery ingot

im looking to a knife solely for the piety flamer

and melt away maulers

dense field
#

Try a taxe instead

#

It's fast too

wooden river
#

mk2 taxe was my beloved back on launch

mystic ether
# dense field Get a good claw or a HS before the knife

Personally just give so little of a shit about the hsword. I know it's solid as hell but I'm just not interested at the moment. If a solid hsword just lands in my lap, like anything else, will just get used to feel it but it's knives and hammers for me right now.

placid fiber
#

So... did I miss anything in the last, like, 3 days? >.>

mystic ether
#

Knives, hammers and revolvers.

placid fiber
#

They added 2h hammers?!?!

mystic ether
#

If I ever get my hands on a good lawbringer shotgun it's going nuts.

fiery ingot
#

i think they're talking about the weapons they are into rn

mystic ether
#

Zealot got me back on my crit backstab shit again.

dense field
#

Well if the knife FEELS good to you then go ahead

mystic ether
#

I mean, if I want better damage, I'm gettin me mallet.

#

mallet(s).

#

still need a better crusher.

wooden river
#

I got a near-perfect Crusher like a week before it got buffed

#

I was initially sad until... well, it got buffed a week later

#

then I was a very happy zealot

mystic ether
#

Is one of blessing combinations to aim for thrust and headtaker?

wooden river
#

(except for the fact that I don't have the cool paid skins for it)

mystic ether
#

Thrust is the big important part for momentum setups from what I'm aware of.

dense field
#

Or thrust and slaughterer

mystic ether
#

Since I want to keep doing shroudfield stuff for the three kinds of bonks.

dense field
#

Thrust is the big important part for hammers, period

mystic ether
#

Was going to ask if that blessing carried itself into other builds. Good to know.

wooden river
#

For Crusher? Or Hammer

dense field
#

Hammers are such a horrible weapon to roll

mystic ether
#

Thunder hamemrs.

wooden river
#

Crusher just wants Skullcrusher

#

Oh for hammers

mystic ether
#

I got one with thrust and some hit mass ignore blessing idr.

wooden river
#

Thrust is necessary to oneshot elites and bosses with the heavy attack

dense field
#

Needs three to four stats high and specific blessings and perks

wooden river
#

yeah it's pretty finicky

frank night
#

PLASMA

wooden river
#

For the second blessing, Slaughterer or Headtaker is good for general use

#

Can't remember if Thunderous lets either hammer hit specific breakpoints

#

I think that used to be the case long ago

lean lark
#

thrust slaught/headtaker is the blessing combo for both hammers

placid fiber
#

lol a level 13 player joined and saw my level 8 psyker and just noped tf out, I don't even blame them xD

desert vessel
#

whats the dump stat on XV ev

zinc talon
#

cleave is pretty safe

fiery ingot
#

what are ranged options that pairs well with crusher? i've been running revolver but im keen to try anything really

zinc talon
#

check the range and find what % you need to hit tho

#

cleave always rounds up to the next integer

#

so if it's 9.001 you get 10 cleave

desert vessel
#

I have one with 30% cleave KEKW_ogryn

I mean, the mass it can swing through

#

and then get back to pulpin'

fiery ingot
dense field
#

The old one

fiery ingot
zinc talon
#

I'm getting to where any single target is 2 or 3 hits from dead with the crusher, or at least it's dead before it gets back up off the ground

#

so I'm tryin to learn how to jackie chan 1-2-3-disengage

zinc talon
#

and the bolter meshes really nicely with that

fiery ingot
#

im still a crusher amateur

fading vale
#

combo push attack headshots off of prior attacks so you get skullcrusher buff

fiery ingot
#

when do i special?

fading vale
#

mostly for CC

fiery ingot
#

oh

faint yoke
fiery ingot
#

the special isnt needed to do big damage?

#

bruh

#

i've been playing this thing wrong this whole time

fading vale
#

no the special is utility move, the special heavy barely does more damage

dense field
#

The special is for AoE CC

fading vale
#

but yeah just read what josho wrote

#

the big damage comes from high attack speed and combos and finesse damage on stuff like push attack

#

and utilizing skullcrusher in combos cause the only way skullcrusher activates is on targets that are mid stagger or on the floor

zinc talon
#

unlike the paul, the crusher's light swings are half damage and half blast radius size

#

so lights on most crushers won't discharge against more than what you connect the swing with

fading vale
#

the best thing about the special lights is infinite cleave

dense field
#

Somehow crusher is so boring to use for me. And I'm not bored by rashad. IDK why, probably the sound design.

zinc talon
#

the heavy attacks will stagger and push away, but only about as far as your weapon reaches

zinc talon
#

so it's a breather for you, not the room

faint yoke
#

Can never get bored with mk 6 heavy sword personally. Makes you feel like a space samurai

royal vortex
#

specifically for carapace the highest damage you can deal in a single hit is a charged push attack headshot

zinc talon
#

when they're already staggered

#

the power up's big help is the opening attack ragdoll

royal vortex
#

so if u knock a crusher onto the floor (which is possible but for the most part not happening) and can line up a headshot it's funny to do

zinc talon
#

since you don't not take skullcrusher, you need your enemy in the process of gettin laid out to hit your best damage output

#

so the power up light swing will clear a horde and a heavy will all but assplant a crusher and jostle the things right next to it

#

the advantage is now that they're assplanted, for the rest of their short little lives you can reduce the number of hits from 5-7 to 2-3

#

push attack is perhaps the best attack the crusher has

#

it does silly damage against weakspot, will ragdoll 3-4 horde

#

and the next three swings from light attack are whapwhapwhap weak spot increase attacks too

#

so push, attack, lightlightlight

#

and you've hit them 4 times with 5 of the top 6 hardest hitting attacks the weapon has

#

you'll even learn to work a power up in there somewhere as you find the time

#

and when you get the moveset down in muscle memory you can use it to conserve your speed while letting go aoe discharge attacks

#

but this'll tunnel vision you into gotta go fast like sanic gotta hit hard like reaper and actually lose overall nimbleness

#

that said when you gitgud you can use it to sprint faster than you can just holding down the shiftkey

fiery ingot
#

OHHHH

#

i see it now

zinc talon
#

you can s k e e d a d d l e

fiery ingot
#

i tested it in normal t5 true solo to take a feel of the weapon and its combos, but i didnt realize skullcrusher potential and how to properly make use of it, thats why i felt like the damage output was so low

wise fern
#

Retreating? Nah, tactical reposition to fight another day

fiery ingot
#

this makes a lot of sense now

#

but does skullcrusher damage scales with how much staggered the target is?

fiery ingot
#

more atk speed = faster combo?

#

or you're looking to one shot stuff with crits?

zinc talon
#

I like being able to seize the moment when a fights going poorly

#

it lets me charge the team into a room full of ranged enemies, stun everything up to bosses, heal everyone in range and make everything else cower in place

#

it's a nice pause button

#

oh

fiery ingot
#

oh i was talking about the keystone in particular haha

zinc talon
#

lol was defending the usual big damage chaser critique my bad

#

I knee jerked

fiery ingot
#

i like chorus but i cant play without chastise

zinc talon
#

fiery ingot
