# ripe quest FF14 expansions

i started the free trial of ff14 and honestly had a pretty good time
but i think the #1 thing keeping me from playing it is the sheer fact that once i get to the more current stuff im going to have to pay a subscription

delicate shadow
#

I couldn't do the levelling

spare talon
#

i think the subscription is priced fairly and its cool that you can just drop the sub anytime and pick it back up when you wanna play more
but its just the sheer fact that its a subscription

ripe quest
# left iron

It always spooks me when a command's feedback is "Ok."

spare talon
#

that is keeping me

ripe quest

There is a little man in my computer

i can spend 40 bucks on a game and put in 1700 hours

why would I ever pay a sub

#

why is powershell so awful (I know that's just a command prompt)

but holy shit powershell is terrible

Stan mixed up eric clapton and jimi hendrix too

ripe quest

like who made the syntax for powershell AND WHY

Stan isn't a real person. He's just an AI experiment.

calm salmon

fading vale
#

in Linux I can figure out basically any of the commands easily but the syntax for powershell is just an enigma

spare talon
# calm salmon i can spend 40 bucks on a game and put in 1700 hours

thats also true
but i think the main thing for me is if i decide i dont want to play for a short while, canceling it to resume later means ive basically put down the game completely until i am ready to go all in again, i wont have the option to pick it up for a day or so without paying more than i want to

# fleet zealot Dear god i thought grim dawn modding was terrible

DRG modding is such an unfun experience. It's like, kinda interesting because you can do some cool stuff but also like, it took me 2 weeks to learn and implement a custom overclock and I got super upset when I realized I had to unlock it because of it being a new OC and not a replacement.

fading vale
#

overclock gating is my 1 complaint about DRG

ripe quest
#

I was fresh off of Terraria modding too, which is actually a really supported experience that has like, readable code.

proud scroll
calm salmon
#

like one a week or something?

proud scroll
#

SHOULD I SWAP SHRED TO RAMPAGE?

#

i wanted to do crit build

calm salmon
#

imo anyway

fading vale
#

well when I played you were limited to uh, a few a week or something I forget exactly

#

now I think you can play a billion hours and unlock faster

proud scroll
#

can i run it with crit build without shred?

#

like aheavy sword

fleet zealot
north sedge
#

At least two guaranteed from deep dives plus whatever machine events you find

coarse birch
#

itll be worse but yeah piety is still good

proud scroll
ripe quest
# calm salmon like one a week or something?

Do machine event to turn blank cores into a random OC, you get 3 picks as for what it could be but it's just for if it's a cosmetic/weapon and which class. You can get a blank, weapon, and cosmetic OC from the weekly and you can get them from the Deep Dives.

proud scroll
calm salmon
#

I dunno. My experience with DRG has been:

  1. Where do I find anything

  2. How do I start a match

  3. Getting called a [redacted] in a difficulty 1 mission because I was brand new to the game and had no idea what I was doing

#

Had that, and just kinda gave up on it

fading vale
#

I put like 500-600 hours into it

#

probably took 300-400 to get all the overclocks

fleet zealot
# proud scroll oh is that not good?

Mk15 has a hard damage cap of 4 so any extra cleave is just stagger usually best way (or most brainless way I found to play it) is to go rampage perfect strike into a crit build

proud scroll
#

ugh sad

calm salmon
#

yeah I don't really understand why games put such massive time-gates on mechanics

#

just

fleet zealot
#

Once your keystone and scourge are ramped up you have +55% crit chance

proud scroll
#

rampage shred no?

calm salmon
#

make a game that's fun to play

ripe quest
#

Rampage + Shred is pretty decent as well.

calm salmon
#

there's no reason to have such massive locks on shit

coarse birch
#

yeah shred works fine too

fading vale
#

outside of that DRG is purely fun

fleet zealot
fading vale
#

that was the one annoying mechanic

north sedge
#

Eh you just eventually get it all by playing

fading vale
#

can we please stop suggesting perfect strike on the 15

ripe quest
#

I think OCs are the biggest issue with DRG but literally everything else is 8-9/10.

calm salmon
#

rampage+momentum is the only thing I'll suggest for mk15

ripe quest
#

You don't need them on 3's and 4's and once you get one or two for a weapon you like it's just small improvements from there.

fading vale
#

like what are you doing light spamming crushers

fleet zealot
calm salmon
#

rest in peace brutal momentum

fleet zealot
#

Maulers*

calm salmon
#

i miss being able to cleave through bulwark shields and crushers

coarse birch
#

i hope BM dies a slow and painful death

fading vale
#

ok savage sweep handles maulers and flak ragers if thats what your into

fleet zealot
#

I was face tanking whole elite packs mixed in hordes

fading vale
#

you still won't do any damage but

#

it's the same thing

#

except for carapace

calm salmon
#

either you have the bp to proc it attack 1

#

or its a dead blessing worth nothing

fleet zealot
coarse birch
#

and being able to proc it creates fuckin

ripe quest
#

It should def be a Caxe mechanic.

coarse birch
#

all the stuff it does

fleet zealot
#

Also swing angles are huge

ripe quest
fleet zealot
#

Not having a good swing angle on your attacks that could 1hit bp also makes it meh

calm salmon
#

this conversation just makes me think about the new weapon system though

#

are they going to abandon blessings

fleet zealot
#

Over BM

calm salmon
#

or are we going to keep them, just with a different way to get them

#

only fatshark and the playtesters know

fleet zealot
#

Since they gave taxes 3 cleave trying to bandaid them

fading vale
#

people would mald way too hard if they got rid of any current blessings

sterile basalt
fleet zealot
fading vale
#

I SACRIFICED MY LIFE FOR POWER CYCLER AND YOU DO THIS????

fleet zealot
#

And we are talking rashad users

calm salmon
#

like

ripe quest
calm salmon
#

tarkov tier overhaul

fleet zealot
#

Except rashad is actually better with new BM

calm salmon
#

for it to go over smoothly

sterile basalt
#

This week should have at least a small update before Thursday for cosmetic rotation
Then probably penance update in April

calm salmon
#

the penance update also has me scratching my head

#

who asked for that

fading vale
#

genuinely who gives a damn about penances

ripe quest
#

If they're adding new weapon blessings in the same format as we currently have them, and also adding the new format of the weird blessing/perk stuff then I think it's fair to assume that we'll get both.

calm salmon
#

there's like

#

2 penances that are dogshit

#

make every shot count and monstrous malleus whatever the fuck

sterile basalt
calm salmon
#

everything else is literally just "Play the game and you WILL eventually get them"

fading vale
#

I would say several zealot penances are dogshit but for different reasons

#

like the stun ones in particular

calm salmon
#

fair

#

I got all of them a long time ago

#

so I'm uh

#

clouded on my vision of them

sterile basalt
#

I still don’t have ogryn charge 60 enemies in one go

calm salmon
#

use shield

fading vale
#

they have penances saying "stun hordes" which is the worst way to use stuns

calm salmon
#

park ass in corner

#

wait until horde is around you

#

press F

ripe quest
#

It's a bit of a weird update. They probs dislike it so they're working on a new system, seems like it'll give us more penance cosmetics which I am 100% for.

calm salmon
#

its not like

#

hard

#

Just really weirdly designed with the new horde mechanics

#

poxwalkers spawning in 4 groups of 20

#

instead of one group of 60 like ye olden days

fading vale
#

also there aren't enough horde enemies anymore

#

yeah

sterile basalt
#

I also don’t have the one where u need to kill 120 in 30s

#

Frenzied killer 3 I think

fleet zealot
#

Yee variant horde system

sterile basalt
ripe quest
#

I got that entire line of achievements in one go when I ran Flamer on my first hi-int Damnation like a year ago or smth.

fleet zealot
#

I think they should change the staggered smaller horde so that each wave comes from a different flank

fading vale
#

I never feel the need to be like, I'm gonna wade through a horde anymore

calm salmon
#

there's 2 areas

fading vale
#

or that it's something I ever need to pay attention to

calm salmon
#

hab dreyko finale

#

and the door room

#

on the ammunition mission

fleet zealot
#

I feel it still lazor just depends on the director tbh

calm salmon
#

those are the only two rooms left in darktide that actually feel like old darktide but moar

coarse birch
#

you can get full hordes still

fleet zealot
#

Ive still gotten into complete mega dense hordes

coarse birch
#

but its less likely

fading vale
#

it's just so rare idk

#

plus everyone has horde delete buttons

fleet zealot
#

They just arent as common and most people know how to wipe hordes now

calm salmon
#

maelstrom is the most common

fleet zealot
#

So you dont even notice

calm salmon
#

since the AI director spawns everything at once in maelstrom

coarse birch
#

yeah the packs also cant get built up cause everyone has 30 cleave or can just delete it

calm salmon
#

a weird choice, but I get it.

fading vale
#

maelstrom doesn't change that

#

do you mean auric

calm salmon
#

"Here's a horde of poxwalkers, elite patrol, boss spawn, and specialist wave all at once"

#

auric maelstrom I guess

#

i dont even think of the regular maelstrom that exists

#

I had totally forgotten it was a thing

coarse birch
#

yeah i forget that exists too

fading vale
#

auric just doubles the allowed "tension" in general

#

so it says hey I can spawn more stuff

#

until reaching a higher tension

coarse birch
#

HISTG in particular doubles the allowed special spawns too iirc

calm salmon
#

like I said: Poxwalkers, elite patrol, boss, specialist wave all at once

#

its 8 in regular, 16 in auric

#

and maelstrom auric just ramps their spawn rate

fading vale
#

maelstrom does not have anything to do with it afaik

#

it just has more modifiers and built in shock

calm salmon
#

auric maelstrom has less downtime between events

#

on top of all of the modifiers

fading vale
#

I don't think so

calm salmon
#

so special waves spawn faster

#

enemies don't respect teammates dying

#

stuff like that

fading vale
#

you are the first person that has said that

#

Tyr says it's only auric that makes a difference

ripe quest
#

yee Auric has the Tension mod

fading vale
#

which is quite misleading to players imo

#

nowhere does it ever tell you that auric is a new difficulty

ripe quest
#

Maelstrom itself from my understanding is just a normal mission with a bunch of modifiers applied, same modifiers that include Auric and Hi-Int n whatnot.

#

they got like, a list of addons for the mission

calm salmon
coarse birch
calm salmon
#

so you could with deductive reasoning find out through that that its harder than the other board

fading vale
#

yeah but it's not like you can choose to play decent damnation missions on the regular board

#

so

ripe quest
#

fairly sure when you unlock it it tells you about them being elite-persons related

fading vale
#

you are kind of forced into it

calm salmon
#

I dunno

fading vale
#

if you want to pick missions

calm salmon
#

I think we're kind of at the point of Darktide's lifecycle where the NPE just doesn't matter KEKW_ogryn

#

everyone knows whats up with auric

#

or have friends who do

fading vale
#

see pubs

#

going into auric while having 0 experience

#

and failing massively

calm salmon
#

that's a different problem

#

its less of a ladder

#

and more like a uh. . . getting smashed at mach 5 by a dump truck

sterile basalt
#

HiSTG will just throw hound, flamer and trapper one after another after another behind u continuously in a horde

fading vale
#

if they could reliably play damnation with different maps and modifiers then... idk

calm salmon
#

the real problem there is not intelligently disclosing that if you can do damnation hi-int, you should probably play heresy auric first before doing damnation

#

i dunno

#

maybe doing it the hd2 way would make more sense

#

Sedition>Uprising>Malice>Heresy>Damnation>Auric Heresy>Auric Damnation

#

all in one "spinnable wheel" or whatever

ripe quest
#

there are literally level requirements for difficulties

calm salmon
#

instead of two separate pages

fading vale
#

let's be honest the level system is pretty pointless

calm salmon
#

yeah it didn't stop anyone in VT2 either

#

god I wish hd2 had a level cap though for its difficulties KEKW_ogryn

#

speaking of

#

even a marginal gatekeep goes a long way in keeping the shitshow contained

polar nexus
#

i didn't know regular damnation could spawn 10 ragers and 3 crushers at the same time (like not auric, not hisg, just casual damn)

calm salmon
#

the only thing that really changes between the two is quantity of specials and downtime between events

#

like 10 ragers and 3 crushers isn't really a problem

sterile basalt
calm salmon
#

it is when you get 5 trappers back-to-back

sterile basalt
#

A lot more specialist & elite spawns than the week before

calm salmon
#

or 3 trappers, 3 flamers, 3 dogs, 2 snipers, 4 bursters

polar nexus
#

that felt like a lot, and i do auric most of the time

calm salmon
#

or whatever nonsense the AI director throws at you

ripe quest
# fading vale let's be honest the level system is pretty pointless

I don't particularly think this is a fair statement just on the fact that everyone involved here has surpassed the influence of the leveling system. It's just a progression system, for normal people it gives a steady stream of unlocks instead of everything all at once.

fading vale
calm salmon
#

damnation has made me sleep though since I started doing auric only qp

#

the special waves just uh

fading vale
#

it's not like once you hit 30 you are magically ready for the hardest mode

calm salmon
#

big 💤

fading vale
#

but it seems like people get that impression

calm salmon
#

you could throw practically infinite regular enemies at us

#

and we'd be fine

#

its the specialists that end games

#

and them being locked to 8 and large gaps between them means very little threat to the team

polar nexus
#

god damn

misty mason
#

Hey you don't need to be ready for damnation if your team is 💀

left iron
calm salmon
#

I wonder how darktide would feel now that I have an unhealthy amount of hours in HD2 though

polar nexus
#

my fault for being taken by surprise tho

left iron
#

And then they get bodied for 20+ hours straight and leave a negative review

fading vale
#

plasteel/ordos are also part of the problem

calm salmon
#

the bots are literally everything wrong with Darktide cranked to 22

ripe quest
calm salmon

I get the feeling darktide, even though I'm out of practice, will be even easier after the shitshow that is helldive bots in HD2

I wish arrowhead cared about balance more

#

but fuckin whatever

#

I'll just go play MGS5 on objectives

#

that's still entertaining

#

but not really what I signed up for

fading vale
#

like the other day we all brought barrages and shield gens and just tried to stand in the middle and hope for the best

#

10/10

ripe quest
#

That's a small minded take

calm salmon
#

now I make pubs go brainexplode.gif

#

every time I use them

#

Stun bile titan>throw 500kg bomb

#

guaranteed kill every single time

fading vale
#

wait they stun titans?

calm salmon
#

yep

fading vale
#

lol

calm salmon
#

they stun everything

#

for some reason bots its half as effective though

#

bots get stunned for ~4 seconds

#

bugs get stunned for ~8

#

give or take

#

its probably closer to 3 and 6

fading vale
#

I haven't tried stuns

calm salmon
fading vale
#

too busy malding at impacts being so inconsistent on chargers and trying to figure it out

calm salmon
#

not really super effective at the end of the day. Definitely a bug tool

calm salmon
#

its 2-4

fading vale
#

yeah I know

#

and sometimes I throw 6

#

and the charger isn't even bleeding

calm salmon
#

that said, it also depends on terrain

#

some reason divots just eat all damage

fading vale
#

occasionally I throw 2 and it dies

calm salmon
#

you can prone next to a 500kg bomb

fading vale
#

and it's just like come on

calm salmon
#

and live because the divot it creates on landing eats all of the horizontal spread of damage

fading vale
#

like clearly I threw 6 nades under the charger and this time it doesn't even flinch

#

ok

calm salmon
#

my favorite is when you shoot a bile titan so much it has no ass

#

all of its body armor is missing

#

it has no armor on its legs

fading vale
#

and then nothing can damage it

calm salmon
#

and its still walking after you

#

hd2 is fun

#

but it has a long way to go

#

Much like darktide on release I suppose.

fading vale
#

they need to work on charger and bile titan weakspots at least in terms of game feel

#

that's my biggest annoyance

calm salmon
#

the head is the weakspot

#

what

#

Pretty sure no one at Arrowhead is like. . . actually playing this game enough to really understand the issues

#

Which, you know fair.

fading vale
#

oh sorry for thinking THE BIG GLOWY BITS MATTER

calm salmon
#

They're already putting 40-60 hours a week into it

#

but like cmon

#

Get some on the ground experience with the game

#

before belittling your community

coarse birch
#

yeah ngl i dont play much but i was really confused when people told me that weakspots on stuff are not the big weakspots

#

that you get to shoot when you dodge the charger

calm salmon
#

"Use your stratagems more"

-1 stratagem

+50% stratagem cooldown

+100% stratagem call-in time

#

like what the fuck

coarse birch
#

so i was like "oh if i dodge it i get rewarded with shooting its weakspot"

fading vale
#

I mean the community deserves to be belittled for the railgun reaction

#

much like the DT deserved the pearl clutchers comment

calm salmon
#

I mean, nothing really feels good to use against bugs though.

#

If you removed chargers and bts

scarlet wraith
calm salmon
#

all of the sudden you get the same choice as bots

scarlet wraith
#

Auric and maelstrom are pretty big jumps

calm salmon
#

but since chargers and bts exist

#

it completely warps your weapon selection against "end-game" bugs

#

so I get WHY people went all manbaby about the railgun

calm salmon
fading vale
#

500 and mechs are the easiest but you also have arc thrower, recoiless, EATs

calm salmon
#

I may understand why, but there are limits.

fading vale
#

and orbital rail cannon

ripe quest
fading vale
#

I mean there are options

calm salmon
#

If only the orbital rail cannon actually oneshot bts

scarlet wraith
#

Yeah the railgun 'hurr durr they hate us 'cause all weapons bad' train was completely imbecilic

calm salmon
#

and wasn't on a 210 second cooldown

#

315 after mission modifiers

fading vale
#

it's cooldown is too long yeah

calm salmon
#

I really wanna use a 5:15 cooldown item to not oneshot a BT

#

real fuckin fun

scarlet wraith
ripe quest
#

Damn Puri blocked me.

#

Can't even correct him anymore.

scarlet wraith
#

Because it's 4x the power over the same amount of time

calm salmon
#

sit at extraction for 10 minutes

scarlet wraith
#

I just have to aim

calm salmon
#

and drop 20 eats on it

fading vale
sterile basalt
#

If I can only take 1 between bleed for the emperor / restoring faith for martyrdom

#

Which should I pick

calm salmon
#

The act of swapping to my gun and shooting once gives a hulk enough time to wake up

#

but I can drop a 500kg on a bile titan

calm salmon
#

and it can't move far enough to not die

sterile basalt
fading vale
#

if you don't have holy rev then I'd take restoring

#

but I imagine you do

calm salmon
#

that said

#

could probably just be the whole "bots have guns" thing

#

so everything feels faster with them

#

we love shitty gunplay mechanics

#

aimpunched x200

sterile basalt

ripe quest
#

Armor Pen, stuns have an AP of 6.

calm salmon
#

oh

calm salmon
#

so

#

hulks have AV6 on chest then?

#

so 50% stun time

#

compared to other bot enemies?

#

if yes: that'd explain it. Hulks are really the only thing I actually care about stunning. Everything else just instantly punishes you for leaving cover

IE: They get the eagle airstrike from god before I poke my head out

ripe quest
# calm salmon hulks have AV6 on chest then?

That wouldn't be entirely out of the question, their head is 4 AV and backs are 2 or 0 not that it matters. Tanks would be the only other enemy with similar AVs. Devs and below have 3 AV, with the exception of Walkers having a 4 AV faceplate.

fading vale
#

I think they should get rid of player headshot damage or something to that effect

calm salmon
#

You cannot prone against bots

fading vale
#

to me it's just a feelsbad

calm salmon
#

you WILL get oneshot by even dumpstier trash bots

#

its fucking stupid

#

if they hit your shoulders fine, whatever normal damage values

ripe quest
#

I mean if you suppress them they have genuine stormtrooper aim.

calm salmon
#

but putting your head directly in front of your body is asking to be randomly oneshot by literally everything on the bot roster

ripe quest
#

I'd have to see 1 shot BPs against players first though, if light armor gets 1 shot to the head by gun fire and certain bugs, but medium and/or heavy armor doesn't then I don't think it's too much of an issue.

calm salmon
#

bugs at least tend to get into giant groups

fading vale
#

I never want to get hit by a random rocket and just get insta deleted if I'm wearing heavy armor and explosion resist

#

or heavy armor with extra padding

calm salmon
#

bots spread out and chase every single person on the team so its extremely hard to actually suppress them effectively

#

which is just a function of helldive spawn rates

fading vale
#

or even medium armor with explosion resist

#

random 1 shots to rockets just feel bad

calm salmon
#

random oneshots

#

not even just head

#

just oneshots in general never feel good because they have zero counterplay other than "Don't move out of cover"

#

real life can suck my fat nuts pilestatd, make this shit fun first

#

if I'm playing tarkov and push a guy and get oneshot to the face fine, whatever. I explicitly signed up for that experience by playing Tarkov.

#

But poking my head out to do an objective in HD2 and instantly dying because one of 50 enemies shot my face is just infuriating

fading vale
#

tbf only sadists play Tarkov

ripe quest
calm salmon
#

this is why I main bugs

#

the only enemies worth worrying about are spewers

the more important issue though

REVERT THE HELLPOD STEERING CHANGE

calm salmon
#

no mountain for you

#

not allowed

fading vale
#

no small rock for you

calm salmon
#

no, you get to be deployed right in the middle of a patrol

#

because your team dared to not throw you into an empty field

ripe quest
#

I like the idea but there should be a way to 'slip' past the invisible wall so you can move through it instead of being funneled due to unfortunate spawn placement.

coarse birch
fading vale
#

teammate marks a bile titan or charger - sorry mate I can't steer over this rock

coarse birch
#

like your fine or you are dying to one thing

#

bad way of putting it but

calm salmon
#

I don't understand why people hate hunters

#

but then I go to the subreddit

#

and its everying yerkin off the slugger

fading vale
#

hunters are occasionally annoying because of stunlock

calm salmon
#

and it makes way more sense

coarse birch
#

i do get its supposed to just be kinda goofy though so like not the most balanced difficulty of all time is fine

patent patrol
#

I assume this is worth getting strictly for Rampage 4?

calm salmon
#

I've only used full auto weapons against bugs

#

because hunters are the number 1 threat on bugs

calm salmon
#

yeah, sure.

#

it sucks to not have a tool for spewers

calm salmon
#

but eagle airstrike is right there

#

I'm more than patient enough to wait the 1:45 or 2:30 depending on mission modifiers for it

#

and just running away

#

if it means hunters are a non-issue

#

I can feel it in my bones though. Las-16 Sickle is going to be dumpstered by Arrowhead next patch.

#

Because its everything the old breaker was

#

but with infinite ammo on top

fading vale
#

it seems like devs struggle with player feel bad mechanics

calm salmon
#

we just cannot have good primaries in this game.

#

The devs want the game to be stratagem simulator

fading vale
#

to me it seems simple, don't have mechanics that exclusively make you feel bad

calm salmon
#

and have only included primary weapons to make it seem like other games

fading vale
#

and this includes DT of course

calm salmon
#

that's my only explanation

ripe quest
#

Breaker is literally the same exact primary that's good at what it used to be good at still. It got a minor slap on the wrist.

calm salmon
#

Like, think about it.

fading vale
#

the sickle is overpowered for sure

calm salmon
#

Bots? Autocannon EVERYTHING

#

literally EVERYTHING

fading vale
#

but it's not like breaker got worse

calm salmon
#

Bugs? AUTOCANNON EVERYTHING

#

except BT

#

but that's what the 500kg is for

ripe quest
#

I do think Sickle will be looked at but my only complaint is that it's better than the Liberator at a good number of stuff, but that doesn't make it better than everything available.

calm salmon
#

"use your stratagems more" should not mean "Use your stratagem weapon on literally everything"

fading vale
#

well it also has infinite ammo

patent patrol
#

Which one do y'all think, stats wise, is better?

fading vale
#

which is eh

calm salmon
#

and Arrowhead hasn't really figured that out yet IMO

ripe quest
calm salmon
calm salmon
#

full stop

#

its not even a debate to me

#

it does everything the lib does but better

patent patrol
# fading vale left

Ok. I'll see how it turns out. Obviously the one on the right is a 4/4 so.

ripe quest
patent patrol
#

we'll see if I can match it.

ripe quest
#

It's not better than all of the primaries, so I don't think it'll get any form of major change. Breaker got slightly less ammo and a QoL shift for being the #1 goto "meta" weapon.

calm salmon
#

MG-43 makes you stop to reload and stalwart gets hardstopped by medium armor bugs

#

so. . .

#

one of the above+GL or autocannon

#

with AC you can just take the EAT-17 too for BTs cause no backpack

#

with GL you need to hmm and haw over backpack or EAT-17

fading vale
#

hmm and haw

#

Sickle/arc shotty is great for flamethrower

calm salmon
#

I tried arc shotgun on dif 3

spiral anvil
#

Flamethrower kills chargers so fast lol

fading vale
#

ok stan

calm salmon
#

I literally couldn't keep up with the spawns on dif 3

#

I have no idea how the fuck people think that thing is good at helldive

patent patrol
#

So remind me. How does one use the Heavy Sword.

calm salmon
#

when there's about 200% more hunters

#

and it can't even one-shot them

ripe quest
#

My list is just, don't use Lib Pen, Peacemaker, Counter Sniper, Dagger, Scythe, and Laser Cannon for bugs. Lots of stuff has a niche available or is just a good statistical weapon.

calm salmon
spiral anvil
#

The strong point of arc shotty is not dps, but you can easily kite and shoot without aiming

calm salmon
#

from the new premium warbond

calm salmon
#

and actually kill shit at the same time

patent patrol
calm salmon
#

the arc shotgun has no role as far as I care to think about it until it gets a reasonable pump speed

ripe quest
#

Arc Blitzer is an extremely mobile 2h weapon with 3 AP and good CC.

spiral anvil
#

It has the fastest TTK vs hunter

#

Literally just click

ripe quest
#

I wish we had like, a throwing knife equivalent for HD2 to combo with the downtime.

patent patrol
#

Me personally, I've been playing Battlefront 2 2005 recently.

coarse dagger
calm salmon
#

"good CC"

doesn't reliably arc to multiple targets

gets stopped by shrubs

has 10 meter range

shoots corpses first instead of live enemies

#

and other issues

fading vale
calm salmon
#

there's not a single redeeming aspect to the arc shotgun

#

other than: infinite ammo

patent patrol
coarse dagger
#

I think the Turtolsky swords is cleavers nvm

fading vale
#

also heavy bruisers I think, and maybe mix lights

calm salmon
spiral anvil
#

Heavy + chastise you can cleave at entire row of bruiser heads

ripe quest
calm salmon
#

which is not at all helpful against 55 hunters

calm salmon
#

it can't even kill a patrol before they get a bug breach off

patent patrol
#

never heard of that one.

fading vale
#

bruisers are the meaty horde enemies

spiral anvil
#

Bruiser? I barely knew her

fading vale
#

bucket heads and flak armor dudes

ripe quest
#

I like it with a higher usage support weapon since it can just like, stagger a clump of bugs or bots as a quick switch type of thing. Super fun.

coarse dagger
#

only if she asks

patent patrol
spiral anvil
#

Arc shotty with flamethrower is apt combo

calm salmon
ripe quest
calm salmon
#

they have the same exact range

spiral anvil
#

You just need something to get hunters off of you, arc shotty does it well

calm salmon
#

much like the arc thrower

spiral anvil
#

Yes it can staregryn

calm salmon
#

it just fizzles out of existence

ripe quest
#

It has a pretty good range on it too, but after a certain point it runs into the Arc Thrower problem with terrain and has a narrow spread for whatever reason

calm salmon
#

there's like a ~1-2 meter dead zone in front of the barrel

spiral anvil
#

False

calm salmon
#

any enemies within that are completely immune to it

ripe quest
#

That def isn't true.

calm salmon
#

Look, all I can give you is my experience with the damn thing.

#

And all of these are issues I had with it.

ripe quest
#

You can hit enemies close range but due to the cone it doesn't hit an optimal amount of enemies, just 1-2 depending on density

spiral anvil
#

One game on dif3? staregryn

calm salmon
#

That were reliable and repeatable.

#

No

#

I took it to helldive

#

because like

#

let me judge the thing against helldive quantities of enemies

#

and I was the most deadweight I've ever been

#

literally just stratagem boi

#

because that arc shotgun was not doing anything

#

killing one enemy every 2 seconds is an abysmal state of affairs

spiral anvil
#

If you try to use it like a breaker it's not gonna replace it

calm salmon
#

its 1 enemy every 4 seconds

fading vale
#

also I feel like helldive should be kind of fucked up

calm salmon
#

yeah that's fine

#

but they don't have to make all of the weapons feel like shit

#

to do that

sterile dune
#

worth picking up from melk?

fading vale
#

yes

sterile dune
#

stats seem good, I think slaughterer is supposed to be good too right?

fading vale
#

basically perfect if you replace momentum and crit damage

calm salmon
#

replace momentum with thrust

ripe quest
calm salmon
#

critical with unyielding

sterile dune
#

ok badass

ripe quest
#

yes I'm talking about bugs puri

calm salmon
#

And it can't oneshot anything bigger than hunters

#

not brood warriors

#

not commanders

#

not bile spewers

#

its multiple shots on all of them

ripe quest
#

It can 1 shot warriors, it 2 shots bile spewers and nursing spewers, I haven't used it against artillery bugs but 90% sure it's way too high to use there.

sterile dune
#

now for the loaded question, what is a decent hammer build I don't have to use martyrdom with

ripe quest
#

Brood Commanders do take a few shots, I've found myself shooting the legs with my secondary. Blitzer is 3 AP so it does full damage to Brood Commanders and 50% to Hive Guard heads.

fading vale
#

can take HR over desperation if you are worried about survivability

calm salmon
#

since it shares all of the problems of the arc thrower

#

but with a 10 meter range

sterile dune
#

and what ranged weapon are you using to go with it?

calm salmon
#

which is the last place I want to be with bugs

#

I don't really wanna duke it out with spewers at 10 meters

#

god forbid hunter swarms

#

brood commanders/hive guards/warriors may as well not exist for as much trouble as they are

ripe quest
fading vale
calm salmon
#

or I can just use the sickle and lascannon

#

autocannon

#

railgun

#

spray and pray/breaker

#

and have none of the downsides of the arc shotgun

#

but needing to manage ammo in trade

ripe quest
#

Sickle is 2 AP and is a DPS weapon, then Laser Cannon and AC are support weapons that's a no brainer

calm salmon
#

Right, but my point is that I can just swap weapons depending on the situation

#

rather than shoehorning myself into an objectvely bad primary firearm

ripe quest
#

If I wanted an arc weapon and had a support weapon open I'd just run an Arc Thrower.

calm salmon
#

that's going to see you using your support weapon more often than my kit anyway

ripe quest
#

but like the thing is there for a CC tool if you're using your support weapon primarily.

calm salmon
#

you know whats CC

#

killing the fucking enemies

#

shits on power maul and crusher activation functions(Not really you, specifically, just the DT community as a whole)

BUT DUH CC GOOD IN THIS OTHER GAME

When outright killing the problems is far more effective CC just like it is in Darktide

ripe quest
#

Much like the Plasma Punisher the CC is larger than AoE weapons cover with damage.

ripe quest
#

Obv a Flamer would probs be the best choice for smth like that though, has good coverage.

calm salmon
#

They're using garbage weapons

fading vale
calm salmon
#

and then just die to hunter swarms because their shit outright cannot keep up with them

sterile dune
#

are those blessings ok?

fading vale
#

those blessings are what I run, and I do flak maniac

#

no respite is best in slot

sterile dune
#

ok cool, yeah I had a garbage perk so changed to flak and had to keep unyielding

calm salmon
# sterile dune like this?

fire frenzy for fullbore as your dealer's choice - its a player to player feel thing

Swap unyielding to maniac or unarmored if you're fine with FF

fading vale
#

and fire frenzy could be one of like 3 blessings

sterile dune
#

oh damn I didnt even see I had another reroll

maiden path
#

todd from breaking bad a real baller fr

#

can i get a fuck yea

ripe quest
#

Though the taser Crusher/Pmaul has my full attention because that is mega baller.

calm salmon
#

right, but all of the enemies crusher/pmaul stagger are problems and their CC is a 360 AOE with a fairly forgiving radius

#

the arc shotgun is straight RNG

#

either you get lucky and hit a bunch of enemies

#

or you hit one and have done nothing about the 40 others chasing that one

maiden path
#

this how todd tortured jesse

#

just scared the shit out of him with basketball related things

calm salmon
#

and the arc shotgun is blocked by dead bodies and shrubs

#

though like I said, that's an issue the arc thrower has too, but the arc thrower has a ~50 meter range on it

#

~100 if you use a teammate as a boosting pole

maiden path
#

todd used to brick 3 pointers to torture jesse 😭

ripe quest
calm salmon
#

And yet you'd freak the fuck out if you watched a psyker with the shock staff shooting poxwalkers

ripe quest
#
  • I'm fairly sure ADSing and hipfiring have an influence on arcing, should you try the weapon out again.
calm salmon
#

Actually, that's a little bit of a personal attack.

#

But the underlying logic is sound.

Hitting 2 enemies per attack is meaningless, especially if it didn't kill them.

I dislike you assuming how I'd react to that scenario. Arc Shotgun and Surge Staff aren't similar in function. Additionally, the scenario isn't representative of what I've been talking about. Hit medium enemies with it, stagger them in a cone infront of you. Warriors, Hive Guards, sometimes Hunters, and Brood Commanders in this case. Additionally, kiting is more present in HD2 than in Darktide just due to level layout, which is a strength of the Arc Blitzer due to being a 3 AP primary that can effectively shoot while running. The comparison is even more out-of-pocket just due to the loadout issues a Surge Staff comes with. You get your blitz w/ Surge Staff, in HD2 you get a secondary and a support weapon to add.

calm salmon
ripe quest

calm salmon

god awful TTK, inconsistent targeting, getting stopped by bushes, arcing to dead enemies first, inability to attack enemies in point blank range

#

there are no upsides to this weapon other than "Infinite Ammo"

I can CC hive guards, warriors, and brood commanders by simply walking

#

No, the real problem are hunters

#

and the arc shotgun can't do diddly fuck against them

ripe quest
#

If your main problem is a Hunter just use a DPS weapon, which you've already implied to prefer.

calm salmon

its not even a main thing. Its that they're the only enemy actually capable of killing a helldiver

ripe quest
onyx lodge
#

whats the difference between the two hammers?

calm salmon

Right, and I'm arguing that there is no role for the Arc Shotgun because the enemies its good against can simply be walked away from at default movement speed

and its hard to say its even "good" against them

with the awful TTK in trade for moving them back slightly
