Imagine using thammer and not embracing chain sword
I could only find tractors
A brand of spices
aaah gotcha
haven't really tried the hammers or the chainswords yet cause crusher way too fun
2.5 mil well spent


This is why

ew flak

yeah that was me, and I was sleeping. Good morning.
and no, I didn't include Delight in Destruction
72% pen
which is another 60%(Multiplicative) DR on top of everything else - assuming there's 10 bleeding enemies near ogryn
19%.
LMAO
and its defences
the og cope hammer
Considering how strong ogryn's weapons are now though, the only way you're going to reliably proc DiD is with power maul, or a zealot with lacerate or some shit
this is why we should remove ogryn
please don't
its the only way
he has the best designed guns 
im not sorry
i mean, in the power fantasy way aswell
DAKKADAKKADAKKA
ogryn does have the best weapons in the game atm generally speaking
ogryn doesnt have plasma though
I don’t know why, but I have a Deja vu of this conversation you two are having
And I feel like I’m the missing element to closing it once and for all
because i want ogryn to blow up
91% dr having mfs still dying first in my lobbies 
Heretics’ wounds don’t even cauterise
Ah, its just that ogryn is OP
If you get someone competent at the game its even more boring than a vet existing.
thats coz most ogryn players either RP as or actually have room temp IQ 
90% of pub ogryn players suffer a concussion minutes before queueing for a match
He really does just suck the fun out of the game if someone good is at the wheel of ogryn's brain hamster
He's definitely in need of some nerfs.
Wish I could find my math breakdown though
ogryn needs some of the stats deflated and more actual options for active defense
here we go
Why not make some use of Wounds, why not make Heavy Hitter benefit from you say, expending stamina for super-charged heavy blows
you can count on i think one hand the amount of optional cool stuff you can do
across the entire ogryn kit
and one of them is fucking POWERMAUL tech
DiD is interesting
but its reliant on wet noodle weapons
which is uh
also not great
it is interesting in the sense that it is a flat stat buff that only requires opting in to one of the strongest melee talents
(it isn't)
No, I mean the underlying idea
Attack enemies
get defense
Its just "Lol you get bleed to do it, and the best way to do that is with thunderous"
so it just makes bleed a massive problem
it also theoretically stacks well with the bleed on charge and vet nades
synergistic, in the most rudimentary of terms, but still an interesting concept
because ogryn weapons just outright kill everything else
Ergo: reliant on wet noodle weapons
which is also incredibly unfun
tbf, rumbler doesn't
unless you spend like 20 ammo a fight
and most ogryns just move enemies around instead of aiming at where the enemies were staggered to
rumbler is inherently more conditional just because the specific setups you have to do rely on enemy positioning
ofc u just queue for scab melee only with a surv vet and hit the gunlugger button every 20 seconds
buuut enemies like to group up a lot so that positioning isn't rare
it actually is relative to the aoe of the blast
you do it a handful of times per game which means outside of scab melee only it isn't nearly as oppressive as kickback
And is reliant on survivalist vet because of the lack of ammo
if you fire ~6 rumbler nades at clusters of elites chances are like 3 are doing the heavy lifting
mostly rumbler is just a frustration tool - moves enemies behind melee players which is infuriating
I want to hold enemies at a choke point, not them getting pushed behind me by explosives
positioning is for chumps
i hit random movement keys so the enemy cannot know where i am going
rumbler is like the least of the problem's with his kit
the ideal world is one where they give the kickback the rumbler ammo pool
the lack of interesting design choices in the tree, mediocre power level of melee weapons without those buffs(Mk4 cleaver aside)
ye if they want it to stay at its current power it needs to be limited
the way u make an ogryn weapon is to give it shitty stats and then +50%-ish damage from the tree (more with crunch) and thrust
so interesting
Why has the power maul gone unbuffed and unchanged for over a year.
Why do the mk1 and mk2 clubs still have light attack damage of combat knives.
paul has attacks with single target min cleave on like every armor type
it is deranged
Brutal Momentum is dumb and I refuse to talk about shield until that blessing is removed
but its a weapon that's riding explicitly on one blessing

the light attacks are the same damage profile as mk3b club now
so they should be good
but they're like 40% slower than the mk3b
so they just end up unuseable
Doorframe slam 
the l3/l4 on the shield are also just worse attacks in every way than the l1/l2
yeah, more "interesting" design choices
I think l3/l4 are uncapped though
I think. I'd need to double check.
h1 is single target oriented but has 13 cleave so its like y bother
Which is why they have lower damage.
no they also have lower cleave damage
i think the shield could be fairly interesting if it was a weapon oriented around stagger and skullcrusher utilization like the current iteration of the crusher
where certain moveset chains rewarded you more for knowing stagger animations to get value etc
make it so heavy 2 knocks crushers onto the floor 
but the lights are terrible and the h2 is so bizarrely designed
that and the PA could be given finesse
but thats illegal for ogryn
take a swing
on shield
the ideal world
the single target rotation for shield should be h1 push attack
yeah I don't understand ogryn's philosophy there
bad crit multis, bad headshot multis
the h1 has good block chain times (compared to other ogryn weapons) why is it used just for block canceling
on. . . everything
it just makes no sense
the only reason we ever run crit is for achlys stubber
because it gives you like 120 flak damage instead of 66
burst limiter override is terribly designed and the crit node literally exists just for charmed reload
which is bizarre
Flechette Ripper also uses it somewhat well
crab has a suggestion of breaking weapons down into finesse archetypes, so some get more of the curve's bonus from crit or weakspot instead of the current split
and u could just
it turns out that precognition is only marginally better than uncanny strike (assuming that it's up all the time and on a crit weakspot)
this is so sad
make ogryn's finesse interactions largely more crit dependent
because randomly deciding to hit a dude harder is incredibly stupid which is ogryn af
i hate 2 sec precog anyway

the riposte + precog dream is joever
Can you do something about rippers too

I know, you're not a dev, just a tester
why one thing is 2 secs, another thing is 3 secs and another is 6 secs
so best case scenario nothing happens 
I just want a higher effective range than 8 meters on my rippers

math-wise the value of precog and riposte are the same if you do it by a simple effect * uptime comparison
and the way the weakspot/crit stuff works makes this math easy
precog does have higher value if you have it up all the time, though crit ultimately has nonlinear scaling on zealot because of the existence of scourge which means that crits enable more crits, and then there are BPs to mind
Speculation, but, the way FS decided to balance these is to make consistent effects, like WS damage increases, have short duration, and unpredictable effects, like crits, on a longer duration
they could at least match the timing with duelist
true. they do need to nerf duellist to 2 seconds
this is why I play ogryn
and remove +crit damage from it
no big brain talks about uptime
why tf is it giving both weakspot and crit damage
duellist improving my chainsword clear by a good margin is a very "funny" interaction
I feel like for most of these comparisons on dps and similar, isn't it still more important to look at the different breakpoints they provide (except for monstrosities) since even a 20% increase in damage wont do any difference if the amount of attacks are the same
+100% crit weakspot on a weapon that doesn't have any finesse falloff with targets hit
sure but then there's complicating factors like uptime
in which case I simply consider uncanny strike to be the best just because of that
in my mind, there's no competition so I'm not going to bother testing BPs anyways
and having to also factor in the probability of critting and not critting
I did do some testing however, and for most things the breakpoints dont change much on the dagger, I may have missed some interaction with uncanny not sure but for all I tested it's the same amount of hits most of the time, uncanny wins somewhat more often against crushers since you dont crit all the time, but against most other things its more or less no big difference as far as I saw
simple as
me when I put +10% elites on my plasma gun and it changes zero breakpoints on any enemy in the game.
i wouldn't know what to do with them tbh but i can always give em a look, i've personally never felt like they were bad tho tbh. they def feel off atm with kickback being so dominant tho
was the testing you did between
- [(uncanny & mercy killer) VS (fleshtearer & mercy killer)]
or was it - [(fleshtearer & uncanny) VS (fleshtearer & mercy killer)]?
Just tighten up the shot grouping so that more pellets are landing on target at longer ranges
Not a huge change, in the grand scheme of things. It just makes them more reliable guns, instead of being hallway clearers.
One of the problems is that there’s literally no reason to use any Ripper Mk other than 5
Yeah, and that's the other issue.
Mk5 has the best damage at any range other than point blank.
You can use Mk2 for Flechette build, but that doesn’t build into the strengths of the weapon at all, if just changes its role completely 
And the mk5 has recoil issues where its impossible to get fast follow up shots
its okay on regular damnation, I'll admit.
Where a wave of specials is uh
4?
and Hi-Int STG is 8
It’s also very OK on Auric
I dunno. I find myself getting swamped by specials on auric with the mk5
because the recoil is just so bad
It just isn’t Kickback, is the problem, I think, and how stupid ammo economy is with Scavenger
That said, rippers have the best feel when it comes to just shooting a gun in a vacuum.
actually, uncanny/riposte, fleshtearer/mercy, and fleshtearer/precog. Important to note that I cannot trigger the precog or riposte without installing mods I cant be bothered to install, so essentially, uncanny vs fleshtearer/mercy vs fleshtearer
I actually feel like an ogryn
the effect on target being that of an ogryn though is just feelsbadman
so mercy killer makes no noticable difference in breakpoints, and against trash it is redundant, today I learned
Sure, ogryn shouldn't have the precision of Exe Stance veteran(Sideeyes the achlys) but it doesn't feel great not being able to kill a single scab stalker at 15 meters without wasting a bunch of ammo
Ripper Mk5 description is ironic, because it mentions an experiment with making pellets in a ripper more packed, so that Ogryns could engage enemies at longer distances, and further it failed, because Ogryn’s character wouldn’t allow them to engage punies at long range
And it’s the only Ripper variant that doesn’t seem terrible to use from the get go 
they added them back in p17
They were just recently re-introduced into weapon inspect cards, due to community feedback
So you haven’t been missing out for long
needed a break from darktide
not from salt this time
just. . .
I've done everything there is.
Mostly just waiting on a balance patch at this point.
now's a good time to see if putting +elite on my knife actually put me past a BP or not
i'm prob going to enjoy darktide for as long as it lasts
i already enjoy it in the overpowered ass state that we currently are in and i can't wait for balance stuff to come
The game is still plenty fun for me, especially if I try to deviate from the usual play styles or concentrate on perfecting them
that could do something alright, but if i recall correctly it only gives effectively 6 or 7% due to dmg reductions, might be wrong here tho, just have a vague memory of reading about that
prob just mixed it up with something
there's nothing that'll reduce the effectiveness of +elite damage
besides diminishing returns if we're talking in relative improvements from stacking another source of +elite damage like from psyker's aura or if you're a vet
Like I said, 1700 hours.
That's. . . a lot.
I had a longer break from it a while back, but I just really enjoy the game loop tho, and I know that I end up in shitty situations mostly due to some bad desicions on my part, but that is part of what I find enjoyable, learning from my misstakes
No surprise I'm at the point where I'm waiting for a fresh product.
you might be right here yeah
Yeah, I'm not actually salty with the game this time around, unlike my break last year during the great ogryn purge
between may and august or thereabouts
+elites does let me reach a crit-weakspot one-shot on dreg gunners if duellist is up
I've just experienced everything darktide has to give me, and gotten as good as I care to at it.
i thought it let me reach a BP on shotgunners it seems i'm wrong on that
its something at least ^^
25% damage perks need to be rebalanced
though, all of the weapon perks could use a rebalance in one degree or another
now is that worth it vs whatever it is you are not picking instead tho?
Kinda feels bad to look at +10% elites and know that its just worse than +25% flak on basically everything
yeah i'd like them to throw out the current perk system entirely and make some of the current blessings "perks" and keep some other blessings "blessings"
cuz straight up numerical buffs are boring and also who wants to do bp testing with the possible permutations
u
also me apparently
+elite damage (with +carapace) does let me reach a Duellist crit weakspot + weakspot 2-shot on maulers
shut up rebders
rebders
oh well that's good enough for me and i don't want to test other perks
+elites and +carapace it is
hey that's pretty neat still, dedicated to kill the elites, in an instant
yeah is nice
duellist letting my chainsword one-shot dreg shotgunners with a PA
just as god intended
Swift Slaying

but we can use the parry blessing here
just without counter so devil claw still has its niche
yup
they call psword OP and then do this, I can't believe it
i wish the achlys got a bit more love
its a bizarre weapon with a lot of weird oddities that just make it feel bad
the horizontal h1 has less cleave than the strikedowns
like you can never make it hit more than 1 target unless you have bm
but it has boosted 2nd target damage you will NEVER activate
Sounds like an unintentionally broken weapon like old Rashad
Antax was mostly untouched since release besides the bromentum change
And it's still good
i can name you a significantly larger of quantity of weapons that released in a bad to terrible state than ones that released in a good one
they should just delete psword altogether 
why does the achlys have both strikedown heavies and lights
the only reason the Rashad was bad was because the hitbox just didn't work
u had to look at the sky
now it's nearly an exact clone of antax just.... better
hmmm
what could u do with the achlys
i think this should be like THE push attack focused axe
also the main defining difference for the horizontal h1 vs the strikedowns is its better into maniac worse into flak
the HD2 devs seem kind of based
everything they say and do just kind of makes sense
and comes across well
I still want my Michelin man armor to tank more damage though
Hi stan
Josho
Josie
yeah that and people might think you are a girl
why are you so ableist
That’s rude
and a hyena
i have to find out how to bribe the combat team lead at fatshark
I'm sure that's what he wears daily while gaming
i will finance the achlys rework
erm misters of battle are actualy crusaders
sweets
Jorts are illegal in all 50 states and Puerto Rico
rules are meant to be broken
went to check all combat and tactical axes (aside from rashad ofc), nothing worth using, the only one i liked is atrox mk4 tactical and even that thing loses hard to any of two knifes
u didnt sleep
I tossed and turned the whole night
i only slept 3 hours
josho just uhh
What about basket weaving
sleep
His name is Motts

If a friend forces you to walk out onto a dock it’s called pier pressure
I was looking for a josho quote but instead got lost in the sauce of a thousand old stan screenshots
lmao
Oh lord
there are so many
You mean the ones you photoshop to slander me
yes I took the time to photoshop at least 200 quotes of you
Empires have fallen because of less
now imagine Steve doing it
Stehe
Stehe means stand in German lol
steve would decimate my ribs into dust
when are we helldiving again stan
that's why I have extra padding
Are you saying you’re dummy thicc
Soon
i also wanna helldive

Rome wasn’t built in a day
I am going to dine on the arc shotgun
are you fucking high
John I am making bed angels
Stan is on one, but, that's normal...
Jimmy?
John.
No
You don't like subs?
when are we gonna have a halo season 2 watch party
when my bitch ex wife stops making me pay child support
Jimmy John xD
alpfgm,asdimfas0MFWS
why did u decide to have a kid with a bitch ex wife
are u the typical 40 year old southerner
Arcotash
at one point they were neither a bitch nor ex wife
I mean if that's all you're doing to your subs, then I'm glad
my only complaint is on the spicy east coast Italian or the other similar one the meat and cheese like to slide out
LMAO
the story of the downfall of western civilization
my plasteel wages are docked
so you need like, an eating strategy for it
the Jimmy John's meta
Squish that sub
Yeah, sometimes the meat on our subs tries to slide out... That's why all u gotta do is back hand it to show it who's boss

the gamers out here are minmaxing subs 😭😭😭😭
what
it's already pretty dense so
I hate it when the meat slides out
Especially when you get them all oiled up, yeah the meat really slips out of my subs then
Melk did good for once
Just use your tongue a- You know what... I'm not gonna finish that sentence...
Oh are we still talking about sandwiches
ok next topic
bad stan
No please go ahead
stan what did i just walk in on
I love getting sprayed in summer
Ulgo was scared was going to see worse. Accidentaly clicked zealot chat
Stan please stop
Nevermind
Don't worry it's just Stan.
so the Achlys
Yeah best axe in the game right?
Ulgo Krourk fan.
h1 spamming meta
i think u could do some cool stuff with the achlys if it didnt have redundant moveset parts
I just don’t like how the Achlys looks. I like how the Rashad looks…
the h1 needs a bump to like 4 cleave-ish
👀
Who wants to kill 25 hunters and 15 devestators with me <333
Why do you hate me
the push attack needs to be significantly better
you were going off the rails too far
and then u gotta decide what to do with the single target parts of the moveset to make it flow a lil better cuz rn its just strange
Because you haven't named me yet? :3
I don't hate you
You’re literally punching me and kicking me and pulling my hair
We just want u to be better
STOP
No, keep going. You’re fine Stan
I'm gonna start calling stan "Egg Babe" if he keeps that up >.>'
You're beating this conversation into a fine scrambled stew x.x
Ketchup and curry powder is my go-to for scrambled eggs
SLAY
That’s… about as far as I can follow in Stan’s culinary footsteps. He truly explores and thrives in the unknown wilds of food
Ooo, curry powder sounds interesting on scrambled eggs
that sounds painful
@fading vale a godroll achlys caxe with thrust/marty/desperation/SA/flakiac one shots both ragers
on the h1
Then again I do that to my subs for myself from work, with oregano
amazing
the stuff of legends
Black pepper?
imagine relying on every buff in the game for breakpoints
its called SKILL

and one that requires 0 stan
I’m glad you Stan me
I mean... yeah
Everyone should
it's just that shrimple
lol I'm not editing that
😌
You’re learning
One day I hope to make the perfect Creme brûlée
we should strive to have 0 stan
No, no, I think we should all start mixing a bit o' Stan in our lives.
😉
You can’t handle Stan? Sounds like a you problem to me
I used to have a roommate that tried to cook creme brulee for a girl like 1000 times as a pickup thing, it was weird
PREACH
lol
She must have gotten so much weird cream
she said no every time
I felt a disturbance, of course its Stan

stan are you ok
bro
Unless he starts making culinary masterpieces, we don't need to worry
I always confuse you
u have a doppelganger
theres no more ROOM
in hell?
@south folio boot up the game and tell me if the achlys has a faster chain time to the next attack after a push attack
immediately
Cats can’t twerk
u cant twerk
you sicken me
white boy
is this what a married couple looks like
they hop on DT to test stuff for their partner
binch
it sounds insane that the achlys would have a faster chain time to the next attack but then again there are stranger things
Welp my cat has found her throne
i cannot tell if i am a visionary or on drugs
like the netflix show
it looks like it does for the same reason the crusher does
where it skips part of the initial animation
just eyeballing it i'm holding it shorter than if i'm just starting up the h1 cold
that would be really cool if the achlys push attack did something useful
the other two axes also have this for PA -> light
iirc
lemme see if i remember correctly
I'm not sure Stan was the best thing to wake up to, but, what a morning already xD
nvm it seems to be the same
What

😠
I'm just a bit out of it right now lol
I need more pancakes with ketchup on them or something
Hey a good time, is still a good time. Even if it is a bit much to wake up to. :3
Ustotu is lost
I just haven't had any coffee yet this morning x.x
I'm starting to see how my managers feel, without that coffee in the morning...
Unlocked page 8 of the warbond
I found like 50 super credits in a trivial mission
Feels good
What's causing the crits to drop below a 25% damage boost?
They look real good
good question
i'm guessing that the rending from crits is contributing to the 100% cap?
Thank you
either that or its surpassing 100% adms on a crit for unyielding and flak
Because if you have like a 1.5 adm vs. A 1.25 adm for example that's a 20% increase in damage instead of a 25 but at first glance it shouldn't be hitting that low
god please tell me that it's not that crits are making it surpass 100% adms
a numerical coincidence, i hope
a coincidence i hope
PLEASE
it might be
i swear to god if this is how it works
crits have inbuilt rending so part of your return is from that
Guys stan hits yall hard
you then lose it when u have uncanny cause u already have the damage
He only fucked up 1 letter for me
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT
IT'S BECAUSE YOU GET >100% ADMS FROM CRITS
WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT
there is no way that it lines up the numbers of 115%, 150%, and 175% adms this perfectly by sheer coincidence
Good god you’re doing algebra for Darktide? That’s a new level of nerd
it truly is cringe pilled of me 😔
is this wolfram alpha or whatever
nah it's desmos https://www.desmos.com/scientific
and flak still gets +0.3 crit damage against it even in these deranged circumstances
at least i finally know what the crit multi of knives is
and now i also know that the knife is one of the weapons where the weakspot and crit multis do differ
Argus thoughts on my new tech i showed you?
The bees are mating season

I am speechless
Without words
I stole my friend’s railgun for that clip btw
Thief
does flamer count as a bullet for up close and personal?
Thats why he looks so confused
Wanna helldive?
NOO ARGUS DONT DO IT
Im hoping on rn
hop on hd2
I'm on HD2
good
It doesn't show you online
i invited you
Failed to join
1000kg bomb when
cuz i joined you
Wtf just happened
@frosty herald are you playing with us
Im playing with josho and derpy
And me
Oh nice
Blu fang is me
Running heavy armor is a style
It's a lifestyle choice I won't lie
I tried running heavy armor
and then bots just insta killed me anyways
so I said nope
I like it
I need more shiny armor
it didn't seem to do anything at all
So uncanny is redundant if you crit?
no
just a bit less damage increase than expected
well, on heavies
You got headshot anyway
yeah reduced benefit on crits though still beneficial
Helmet do nothing
e.g., this is the ratio of (with uncanny strike)/(without uncanny strike) on non-crit hits
but this is the ratio of (with uncanny strike)/(without uncanny strike) on critical hits
yeah there is still something weird feeling about limb damage and what not, being insta killed or headshot whatever when you look like the Michelin man with heavy armor and extra padding just feels wrong
Dear friend
I like light armor too much
Arrowhead should implement actual helmet protective
So you could go precog riposte and not cry
I swear I'm cursed
Scout user
How did you deal 380 dmg to me
gaming
the light armor with extra padding has been feeling pretty solid
Extra padding looked like it only tanked a extra hit or two
I run medic light
Im perfectly sane
Don’t worry its a 6
another hit or two is enough for me to mash stim
Why is it everyone on my friends list hates the idea of allowing randoms to join us

My friend is okay but he doesn’t like them extract early without sample farm
simply be at the point where you don't need samples
I only need them like plasteel once again
and then you still pick them up but don't have to trek across the map and worry about it when you lose them or whatever
Took about 13-more run get 60 common sample
60 is like 3 or 4 runs without maxing
the fuck are you and your friends doing
My friend level 50 did explore look out sample
He just go explore and do side objective
I rarely leave with less than 15 commons even when I'm not trying to max
but we do all the side objectives
unless low on reinforcements and need to leave
you will never get enough common samples for supers to matter
I don’t like those lock behind resources
so it doesn't matter
I brought donation access only already dislike getting look out more samples
7s give you more than enough supers
What was the name of 7 difficulty?
idk
it's our default have fun and still be challenging while fucking around difficulty
My friend and other his friend and random, me play high difficulty just trying farm sample
They trying to
if you play HD2 for farming samples you are playing it wrong
yes
I mean I'm just going off what you are saying
"sample maxing on high diff is annoying"
and I'm telling you that you don't need to sample max on high diff
you get 6 supers on 9
and 3 on 7
idk about 8
but that's really the only difference
7 yes 3
and supers don't matter
It was cap 3 super sample
So is a 7 difficulty
We play on 7 difficulty
Because that’s what I remember super sample max cap at 3
yeah imo 7 is the sweet spot but I haven't tried the new patch
that tunes down annoying heavy stuff
on terminids now I just bring mech and power fantasy all the bugs lol
and also have 500s for bile titans as needed
Since I carry two machine gun and EAT and one turret
One for me and one for my friend
I rarely use EAT we keep moving constantly
if you rarely use them then you should try a recoiless
I means the YouTuber explain is bad solo recoil with carry backpack
well
But good with team reload
people seem to think you need to run another backpack like shield
but you don't
I never run shield or whatever
My friend run shield
Recoiless is faster with team reload but doable solo
Helloooo I need help with my stealth zealot. Got a revlolver and I wann know if I should take it or keep the old one
This is my revlolver rn
Primary Weapon: SG-225 Breaker, Breaker Spray and Pray, Defender, Liberator
Secondary Weapon: Machine Pistol
Stratagems: Recoilless Rifle, Eagle Airstrike, Eagle Clusterbomb, Orbital Airburst
That's what I run on helldive bugs
This is the new one
extracts are still a clusterfuck of 15-20 chargers and 5 bile titans
but uh
You can win now
so that's nice
Recoiles is cracked
eh
I'd replace speedload with hand canon and ranged damage for groaners Idk
only kinda
Its really hard to say its S-Tier with that reload time
and how badly implemented team reloading is
Carapace?
speedload to hand cannon and groaners to uh, flak I guess
I'd put it in uh. . . high B-Tier for the time being, but that's pretty much where all of the AT is right now so meh
Is it better than unyielding?
or maniac
Bug specific, I should say - bots anything works.
Dealing more damage to carapace crusher head
You can run the Autocannon as your primary against bots and only "suffer" against tanks
I mean revolvers are one hitting flak already anyway, right?
Recoiless is much better than that
maulers and flak ragers not really, also helps with a couple other BPs
Can it penetrate again scout?
Yes.
Cool
I dislike scout a bit
Yea but if I take Carapace I can just headshot maulers to death
and from the front too
And that one shot more for flak ragers Idk
the only ones it can't are tanks and cannon turrets
IIRC it's still less damage than body shotting a mauler
but that's why God Super Earth invented the orbital railcannon
Hmmm
Carapace or flak that’s up to you
it also helps when you don't crit but
Well I'll just take flak and if I notice I can't deal with crushers anymore I'll switch it
that's what the crusher is for
I'm assuming we're talking about zealot
Yep
Revolver/Crusher as your ranged/melee
idk I just run flak maniac and obliterate everything with zarona and don't particularly care about shooting crushers
with anoint of course
Revolver and throwing knives for ranged elites/specials
crusher for crushers, bulwarks, and general melee work
and then make decisions for ragers depending on the situation at hand
melee/ranged works on them circumstances depending
the hulk head is a bit annoying to hit but yeah it can 2 shot them
@lofty hemlock If you have melee like combat axes or Eviscerator you can deal crusher finely
if only prone removed vertical recoil
plus you can always F and shoot crushers
makes sense that the AC would kick like a bitch standing up
I run a knife revolver zealot
but at least let me brace it correctly when prone
it just feels like sometimes when I shoot their head it doesn't hit their head
I think crab mentioned something about sights being a little wonky
almost all of the sights are misaligned
Its easier to just say all of them are but that's not explicitly correct
most of the red dots are aligned correctly
(Jar-5's isn't)
I find I usually have to aim a little higher or something
The aiming system try take realism hard to kill on moving target (like heavy weapon has slow sway)
If it's knife then yeah you can deal with carapace plenty fine
Is that AC scope?
Anti-Material Rifle
Huh
but I wouldn't be surprised if the AC has the same problem
I'll try to pay attention more to it the next time I use one
it's not the aiming system its actual bugged sights
but I don't normally use it cause I don't fight bots all that often
I have 50k bug kills and 8k bot kills 
I like AC on bugs too, idk I just get the dopamine from going boom with it
but I don't particularly care about optimizing helldivers, not that kind of game for me
I meant the mechanic where you move camera your gun reticle drag along and is not arcade shooter where camera crosshair to shoot
i like a mix of effectiveness and just using what's fun
fuck I've even brought mines to bugs recently cause it's funny
@sterile stone all of those accidentals were accidents
depends on the loadout
My fucking morter

and I like watching josho run into my mines
I mean, say:
Grenade Launcher/B-1 Supply Pack
you don't need the orbital airburst
Eagle 500kg and Orbital Railcannon on that kit selection does better
I hard disagree
Try drop nearby him trapping him with mines
It see funny
Grenade launcher isn't getting me a 64 kill chain combo
I threw mines on top of his gear after he died lol
Air burst also can kill BTs
Autocannon is and will always be my beloved
GL can't as far as I'm awre of
Only if they're actively leaving the bug breach - which is a bug
because an impact grenade kills them there
That's not true
or if their top armor is removed
I've dead ass had a BT follow me last match
And I've killed it by kiting it around a rock
I've been bringing lascannon to bots, is fun and the sound is nice
until a rocket hits you in the face but
There's suppose to be a upgraded version of it
whatever
That rocket hit you like bolter
The mech is fun to use
the mech is amazing
Just can't go crazy with wasting ammo
i cant wait till explosive dmr
bring mech + the default call in and be in a mech the whole game lol
When you shoot missile very close range: 💥💀🔥
it looks yummy so idc
i only had 4 accidentals
default call-in got removed with today's patch
no more 3 mechs a match per person

until it aggros bots and makes them call dropships
guys i think im in love with the sparrow piolet and im convinced she wants me too /j
the mech is useless against bots anyway
what
one rocket to the cockpit kills it
