guyz, you use the lastpistol to metl crushers and bosses

hard nexus
#

its not ideal

royal vortex
#

laspistol on a BP build has comical chastise damage into crushers

hard nexus
#

bp?

sterile basalt
#

Laspistol is one of the 4 guns that actually has built-in suppression immunity

polar nexus
#

keep the perks and jsut change blessings

sterile basalt
#

So BTE does absolutely nothing for u

Yes for some reason shotguns have suppression immunity

does autopistol have suppression immunity?

misty mason
#

With the 20% damage on switch talent, p gun so stronk

sterile basalt
polar nexus
#

ap is suppress first 😄

sterile basalt
#

So yea if you just want to not get bothered by suppression ever on zealot, use laspistol or shotgun

red pollen
#

Idk if this is common knowledge but martyrs purpose isn’t a flat cooldown reduction based on your hp like I read everywhere, it converts damage you take into cooldown, and it seems like it’s only purpose is to guarantee your ability is ready when until death wears off. Noticed this when a demon host refreshed chastise like 2-3 times per second while I was in until death beating the shit out of it with an axe

Boltgun is prob one of zealot’s best ranged weapons tbh

polar nexus
#

i use boltgun all the time

hard nexus
#

erm revolver is just a better bolter 🤓

red pollen
#

As long as you have knives and chastise

spare dome
#

i dont wanna mislead people

spare dome
#

but when i say i use bolter all the time

sterile basalt
hard nexus
#

the bolter still feels kind of underpowered

hard nexus
red pollen
#

Time to find the clip I show my friends when they say it sucks hold on

spare talon
spare dome
#

what i really mean is i use bolter sometimes and throwing knives a lot

polar nexus
#

bolter needs some talents and blessings

red pollen
polar nexus
#

it's not a plasma...

stone fern
hard nexus
#

why supress when u can just kill

stone fern
#

because killing is bad 😦

hard nexus
#

true

stone fern
#

seriously though the graia will legit never run out of ammo if you have one survivalist vets

#

ive used one to mag dump on anything that moved and never ran out of ammo

spare dome
#

yea it dakkas hard

polar nexus
#

imagine using a graia with 3 survivalist

sterile basalt
#

Survivalist doesn’t stack

polar nexus
#

that what happened to me yesterday

red pollen
sterile basalt
#

Auras can’t stack in general

polar nexus
#

it's not the point

red pollen
#

Auric damnation

stone fern
#

you may not like it but this is the ideal hoard clear melee weapon

polar nexus
#

you don't have to stay close to the one vet

#

you can just go back and forth between them

sterile basalt
#

So I’ll try bloodthirsty + rampage/momentum mk15 evicerator tonight

#

If bloodthirsty turns out bad I’ll go back to shred

Flamer does nothing without of chastise to crushers, where bolter can still kill in half a mag without it

we have nothing 2 worry about

sterile basalt
#

And if you had to, nothing really beats the (bugged) interaction between thunderous and DOTs

hard nexus
#

whats that

south folio
#

if the context is whether another ranged weapon can delete a mass group of crushers

#

then yes a flamer can

hard nexus
#

oh does thunderous apply to dot

south folio
#

(bolter main btw)

sterile basalt
hard nexus
#

oh

#

thats awesome

sterile basalt
#

It’s most definitely a bug

north sedge
sterile basalt
#

Because a similar interaction between veteran’s onslaught and DOT was patched out a while ago

south folio
#

oh yeah i would absolutely rate a flamer over the bolter for that

stone fern
#

fucking flamers are so awful i have legit only seen one flamer with burn and radius above 75

fuck it we ball im rolling the trash flamer

the bst

but

#

it works

south folio

yeah and i was generally comparing it to a generalist build

sterile basalt

if you want me to compare it to another build that specs for boss damage

i wish psyker had a bolt staff

alas

psyker's weapon arsenal taking Ls

hard nexus

yum 4 staves

median steeple

we aint ever getting another staff

hard nexus

it would be really funny if we get a melee weapon before a new staff

hard nexus

probably will happen

#

we got 2 new melees before a new staff

sterile basalt

okay well

3 handed force sword when?

There's nothing particularly wrong with darktide at this point

they have murdered the kant shotgun

misty mason
#

The game is actually in a good state, it just needs more content and a review of crafting (which theyre doing)

calm salmon
royal vortex
#

it actually has a cleave limit now (although u still just hit like 1 pellet for the full stacks so its not quite as bad into non-ogryn guys)

sterile basalt
#

Update next week thumbsup_ogryn

misty mason
#

It's honestly what makes me a bit nervous about the next patch

calm salmon

I can't complain though. I have 1700 hours in darktide.

#

I've done everything you can reasonably expect in this game.

inner cargo
calm salmon
#

Just waiting for more stuff to do, more toys to play with, crafting update etc

misty mason
#

Things are pretty good at the moment. Like sure some stuff is a bit unbalanced, but there are a lot of viable builds/weapons

sterile basalt
#

Because next week they gotta release another cosmetic rotation and there’s nothing new

inner cargo
misty mason
#

And if they change blessings fundamentally, you know that balance is going out the window

sterile basalt

They had to patch in a set last Friday

its an awfully clunky weapon

with a fairly high skill ceiling

yeah, it's clunky if you're unwilling to learn how to use it

lets nerf psword+plasma+revolver+shovels lets kill vet too

I just hope they make a couple more melee weapons viable/fun for vet. I only really like the rashad and multishovel atm

omg no nerfs only buffs

Just nerf plasma uncharged cleave

arrowhead has fallen

Dmg (at least headshot dmg) doesn’t need tuning

now, note that i also hope for enemies to get nerfed in "amount that spawns" department

misty mason
calm salmon
median steeple
#

my opinion is

misty mason
#

my beloved

median steeple
#

I dont give a shit since I always used teh flamethrower

south folio
#

the fact that we can 2/3-shot crushers (and other elites) means that the game has to spam them for them to be a meaningful threat

misty mason
#

flamethrower is so awful haha

south folio
calm salmon
#

why the flamethrower in hd2 only has ~11 meters of reach I'll never know

#

that shit needs to be like 25-30

median steeple
#

still waiting for an armor that reduces flame damage

stone fern
misty mason
fading vale
#

flamethrower fun on bugs

median steeple
#

do not use it on bots oh god fuck that faction

calm salmon
south folio
calm salmon
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

south folio
#

but the game has multiple difficulties

calm salmon
#

(That's why the flamer needs more reach)

south folio
#

if you want an easier experience, just go down a level

#

but for people who play at the highest diff, there is no going up

royal vortex
south folio
#

i hope that i shouldn't have to argue that the highest difficulty should actually be difficult

stone fern
#

but no one has the time to grind 3 times as long to get the resources needed to craft shit

royal vortex
#

the game has a very solid wall where you get too good to be meaningfully challenged in most gameplay moments

sterile basalt
#

Oh yea if they’re gonna nerf plasma dmg, nerf carapace ADM

I don’t think the other ADMs need to be tuned down given they directly interact with ur breakpoints

south folio
#

you don't need the perfect rolls for good weapons

north sedge
#

only nerfs no buffs

south folio
#

you vastly overestimate the impact of crafting for the vast majority of weapons

median steeple
#

I mean dmg is prob not the only thing plasma is gonna nerfed for

stone fern
#

man i dont want perfect rolls i just want the perks and blessings i want

median steeple
#

you know it having inf cleave

calm salmon
#

I think everyone has a specific gripe with maelstrom

#

-which is going to change person to person

royal vortex
#

maelstrom is not more difficult in a way that you can skill through because most of the modes are "waves of stupid bullshit"

unkempt garden
#

Any tips on getting the shocking stuff penance? been trying for a minute now and just cant seems to get it

sterile basalt
south folio
#

if you're gunning for one weapon at a time, it's not particularly difficult to just get one weapon that has good rolls

calm salmon
royal vortex
#

and some of the hard ones reduce the game's combat significantly (i.e melee maelstrom)

south folio
#

especially if you are willing to lower your tolerance level for stat distributions

royal vortex
#

i have a gripe with almost every maelstrom mode, i would call that more than specific

stone fern
#

what the hell am i supposed to do with this

fading vale
calm salmon
stone fern
#

and yes i just upgraded this to make a point

south folio
#

either way, people overstate how grindy crafting is
I agree that crafting feels bad and that it's difficult to reach the last few percentages and to get t4 blessings, but ultimate those differences do not matter much for the majority of weapons

misty mason
#

Would bolter work?

royal vortex
#

because theyre not really a harder challenge as much as they are a twitch mode incentivized by giving you more dockets

calm salmon
#

it makes it way easier to see just how fine 69% is in a stat

median steeple
misty mason
#

Or agri brauto?

calm salmon
#

for a few weapons you need specific BPs:

Flamer with 76%

Ogryn shovels with 77% or more in all three damage stats

#

shit like that

south folio
#

and the crafting being poopoo is no reason to keep the game as easy as it is

fading vale
calm salmon
#

but most weapons don't care if you roll 65% damage or 80%

#

it just doesn't matter

stone fern
#

can we all appreciate the fact that i knew this flamer would brick just to prove a point?

south folio
#

like, i queued for a hishock non-auric and i quit midway because it was so boring

stone fern
#

forget what i said i take back everything

fading vale
#

oh yeah regular damnation is basically easy mode

royal vortex
#

i have to be like physically impaired for a non-auric hishock or auric hi5 to feel interesting

#

royal vortex
#

i also hate that there's basically 0 challenge content you can run with a premade of 4 besides twins hard mode

#

and not just kinda

#

wm1 through it

fading vale
#

just change crit damage for now and keep showstopper cause all the other flamer blessings outside of blaze are useless

royal vortex
#

i think private mission modifiers you can select that don't add reward but make the game harder would be dope

#

like deeds from vt2 or smth

fading vale
#

what's not bad

polar nexus
#

you could chose your handicap and get a reward

stone fern
#

it has blaze away as second blessing

fading vale
#

yeah I just mean keep showstopper for now

#

because none of the flamer blessings except blaze do anything

#

and change crit and leave a spot open

not necessarily conflicting, but the rng in this game is very too much

stone fern

like one layer is enough

misty mason
#

Yeah I suspect they'll make it less rng based but more grindy

south folio
#

there's a better implementation if they had a clear ideea of what the system was meant to be, but it's certainly too grindy and the rng seems meaningless regardless of whatever they intended for it to be besides being a time gate

they should also strip out a bunch of redundant blessings (looking at you impact)

ive thought about whether or not melee enemies need a suppressed state that slows them and its like u probs shouldnt even do that because then "damage vs suppressed enemies" isnt even conditional and that is simply lame

stone fern
calm salmon
#

Yeah

#

so the rng is bad

#

but like

#

its not monetized so its not as awful as it could be

south folio
# inner cargo And then there's rashad

sure, though at the same time, it's an interesting case of where you would actually take +unarmoured compared to the other usual picks if you want to reach a certain BP
And, while it is an example of a weapon with tight BPs, it is, at the same time, the rashad

stone fern
#

i dont even want t4s this is fine for me

I wonder if brutal momentum would be better if there were zero melee weapons that could hit one-shot bps

Quick question for general builds do yall use bolter or flamer more?

sterile basalt
south folio
#

either works really, though I'd pair throwing knives with them

royal vortex

there's a lot of overlap if you're using fury of the faithful for armor downgrade

south folio
#

i lean towards bolter currently because i dislike bulwarks and am running a hordeclear melee (chainsword)

sterile basalt

but I run flamer if running the combat knife

Uhhhhh bolter bad tho

you will be

royal vortex

but flamer leads more towards short-to-mid-range density clearing (not exactly hordes, it's really good for huge elite swarms more so than poxwalkers) while bolter has a bit of flexibility in that once you have it out you can kinda snipe guys

unless you're suppressed

i run it a little higher nowadays so that people stop commenting on the texture quality

You'll take my textures?

Fate worse than death

#

Textures are for the weak

sterile basalt
south folio
#

probably not

#

not something i've benchmarked

#

i'm cpu-bottlenecked anyways

#

i do it primarily to reduce heat generation since i'm on an ultrathin laptop

sterile basalt
#

They should add a benchmark feature to this game

south folio
#

yeah it's a shame that's missing

sterile basalt

#

Do u play 1080p or lower

south folio
#

yeah i'm on 1080p

stone fern
#

just play on geforce now

sterile basalt
#

If ur on 1080p then -1 prob does things

#

Mine is at 1477x831

south folio
#

it's a laptop with an rtx 3050ti so the gpu is doing fine

sterile basalt
#

With multiple Upscaling things going on

#

What frames are u getting

north sedge
#

arco should play helldivers 2 (because i want to see what fucking pixar movie he turns it into)

full nebula
#

is that darktide at home?

south folio
#

just that the CPU is an APU and power bottlenecked since it's like a 25-40w draw

misty mason
#

Buzz lightyear

south folio
#

i have steam overlay off so i don't know how many frames i'm getting

south folio
#

but there are noticeable dips during intense scenarios

sterile basalt
south folio
#

so whatever the framerate where the human eye can't smoothly interpolate the framerate

#

i've got that off as well

full nebula
#

im just not gonna by new games anymore, nothing is optimized on release

south folio
#

though i have OBS in the background

#

i at least have a 30-series so that i can just flip DLSS on

full nebula
#

may as well put it a year in adavance

sterile basalt
south folio
#

frame gen?

#

i just have nvidia reflex on and that's good enough for me

#

since i don't particularly care about the perceived frame rate

#

as long as the input lag is low, i'm fine with it

full nebula
#

play on like 60 locked?

coarse birch
#

Arco if you ever get a pc you need to keep your settings

south folio
#

i have it on 50 capped at the moment

stone fern
full nebula
#

i have to play unlocked, when theres ton of explosions i dip from 120-140 to 50

#

good optimzation

south folio
#

since that seems like it's barely above the threshold where my brain can see it without feeling like it's a slideshow

coarse birch
#

Whats your monitor arco

south folio
#

it's a vg248

#

144hz 1080p

#

i used to run a desktop with it

coarse birch
#

Panel?

south folio
#

TN/LCD i believe

stone fern
south folio
#

but my laptop is only hdmi 2.0 so i can only get 60fps/1080p

#

yeah i've got stuff like "shut up windows 10" or whatever it's called

coarse birch
#

Rip

#

No dp?

south folio
#

i reasonably turned off some stuff as much as I can without getting into the dubious tweaks

#

yeah no dp unfortunately

coarse birch
#

Sadge

stone fern
south folio
#

i could potentially grab a DP to usbc but the hdmi is good enough for me and i won't be reaching 144hz anyways

full nebula
#

i have a 3060 laptop and i have to use ultra performance and dlss to get like 100+

#

even then the average is like 70 with fluxuationm

south folio
#

p much
i got that set on ultra as well

#

at least there's the sharpen option to make it look less fuzzy

full nebula
#

also running 1440 with max textures and subsurface scattering tho

#

i have a lot of the other shit tuned down tho

coarse birch
#

I upgraded my monitor and need to test dt settings a bit to see if i can come closer to my refresh rate

full nebula
#

refresh is the game changer

#

going to like 120 at the minimum is so nice

south folio
#

yeah i miss that

north sedge
south folio
#

i grabbed the monitor since i was originally only playing hl2dm

#

where i was getting 200fps anyways

coarse birch
#

Im at 144 rn new monitor is 170 which i prob won't notice

south folio
#

i do wonder what high framerate + nvidia reflex feels like

coarse birch
#

Upgraded for the panel anyway

south folio
#

must feel pretty damn good

full nebula
#

youd be surpirsed how much you save just turnning down fog and shadwos and whatnotr

#

in a game so bad tyope

coarse birch
stone fern
#

swedish optimization smh

sterile basalt
stone fern
#

for the love of god can they disable models in inventory

full nebula
#

hmmm

#

i never actually thought about mods for performance

#

i might have to look into that

polar nexus
#

does nvidia reflex hurt perf?

sterile basalt
south folio
#

a bit yeah

#

costs a bit more GPU

sterile basalt
#

It’s not native implementation

south folio
#

and draws mildly more power

fleet zealot
south folio
#

for me it was +3 to +5 more watts than usual

#

but you get noticeably reduced latency in return

#

the mild dip in frame rate is worth it, though you're primarily seeing benefits from nvidia reflex if you're GPU-bottlenecked

#

which is often not the case

#

you do see a benefit either way so it's nice to just flip on

full nebula
#

my biggest latency prob is servers

#

smh

south folio
#

😔

#

darktide's network has been pissing me off more lately because i keep getting randomly DCed

#

i know that others have had it worse in it

#

even though they can play other games like helldivers 2 fine

royal vortex

"others"

u will NAME me

I think the image quality here is pretty good

For 1477x831p

stone fern
#

ah yes 1477 the standard resolution

sterile basalt
royal vortex
#

this is my favorite example of the game simply deciding u die

full nebula
#

this is 567322566x16572356 scaled down

royal vortex
#

i shouldve known when i got the ghost hit

sterile basalt
#

I went extra mile for optimizing my game to look as good as it could with minimal GPU heat

full nebula
#

I have an entire external fan set up to keep my gpu as low as possible

coarse birch
full nebula
#

i can keep it like 68 degrees playing auric

north sedge
south folio
#

i have my textures set to the extent where you don't notice the downgrade if you're blurring your eyes, but you'd definitely notice it if you concentrate

don't forget to chastise after the first hit when you rev with a chain weapon

so that the entirety of the chain crits

hey guys, working on gear improvements on my zealot. I'm chain sword melee with the zarona revolver that I pull out for any big guys or ranged threats to pick off with quick headshots. What blessings/perks should I be looking for?

median steeple
#

god I wish stormvermin were better

#

its so sad

coarse birch
neat hound
#

I usually only use it for larger enemies, wouldn't carapace or unyielding be better than flak?

#

Do gunners count as flak? I use it for gunners/snipers, the armored ragers, ogryns, and monstrosities

vast basin
#

dreg gunners are flak torso, mostly unarmoured. scab gunners are almost all flak

left iron
#

Mine currently have Chosen levels of mdef and matk

vast basin
#

good perks for zarona are maniac/unarmoured or maniac/flak. elites probably works too

#

maniac gives you that juicy one hit flamer headshot without a crit

neat hound
#

that's what I just rolled up... my old pistol isn't that good and already one shots flamers, trappers, gunners, snipers, and ragers

#

so the biggest concern I feel like is the ogryn enemies and monstrosities. I think the ogryns and monstrosities are all unyielding? Do the monstrosities count as unarmored?

#

sorry, I'm still trying to learn this game and what bonuses/modifiers apply to what enemies, so it is all a bit confusing

he feels like he is balanced around people who are chronically high APM and need stim toys

well he is essentially just a chariot, so yes

i think my last skarbrand campaign every one of my neighbors declared war on me on the same turn and I just got ganged

vast basin
#

yeah generally you want to be the one declaring war as skarbrand

fleet zealot
#

i see

vast basin
#

simply steamrolling the faction as soon as you encounter them

#

you dont really want to hold that much territory as skarbrand

fleet zealot

see i'm like, grimgor was my love in tw2 when i started

bset boy, face smash keyboard, conquer, expand, get black ork doomstack

I think taurox is a fun one for that

Skarbrand is more of a wrecking ball tho

taurox gorebull doomstack is good fun

and the fact you can just ignore supply lines, upkeep, and control is pretty nice

i don't like their tempo it's too fast for me, even tho i thought i would like taurox and skarbrand
