Aight, big brain idea. Can you try labbing out a talent tree redesign w/ Fatshark and their testing team? I'm thinking like, 2-3 rows of 6 talents. They'll mimic our current tree but it's far simpler and we get an overall power reduction, I'm thinking it'd create a better balance environment.

drowsy steppe
# lusty turtle Depends what you mean by bloat

well from my opinion, which is not really well informed because I havent played Psyker in a long while. The top nodes are almost always mandatory to pick for survivability alone. The blitz and ult upgrade nodes have clear good and mid picks to take. Also why isnt there much freedom in node selection. What Im referring to is, certain node movements are locked, if the prerequisite nodes for them aren't taken. But the tree made it appear that you can take them.

I guess having a lot of toughness nodes is justifiable since Psyker has low base toughness. Which feeds into the idea of the class being a glass cannon class. Biased on my part: Psyker could use a higher base toughness

forgive me i thought u were a football fan cuz british

even on psyker, it's hard to be punished when you can build to have extremely consistent toughness regen and being the class that has less reasons to be in melee distance of enemies

you don't already know?

coarse birch
#

Thats one of my fav games

#

And i cannot think of the connection

lusty turtle
#

Like, CK and ET are great at ranged or if theres a special nearby, but all vet toughness requires kills

#

Not a single node lets you sustain any other way EXCEPT the one for being far away

coarse birch
#

I am both aggressive with psyker and i usually take one method of quelling peril and like 2 toughness regen nodes and i rarely have issue

hushed agate
# ivory marlin Whats warhammer?

A war hammer (French: martel-de-fer, "iron hammer") is a weapon that was used by both foot soldiers and cavalry. It is a very old weapon and gave its name, owing to its constant use, to Judah Maccabee, a 2nd-century BC Jewish rebel, and to Charles Martel, one of the rulers of France.

ivory marlin
#

Oh ok

#

Why did they make a movie about that

hushed agate
#

The war hammer was a popular weapon in the late medieval period. It became somewhat of a necessity in combat when armor became so strong that swords and axes were no longer able to pierce and ricocheted upon impact. The war hammer could inflict significant damage on the enemy through their heavy impact without the need to pierce the armor.

thammer isnt anti armor is a wild take but you do you

#

i wish to listen

vestal pine
#

no

vestal pine
#

ironhelm is beter on afterdelay dept but then it cant usually oneshot crushers

south folio
#

with the ironhelm, the solution is to just settle for non-ult twoshots which is, as you say, easier because it has a shorter afterdelay

#

or have a damage buff from SA or martyr/judgement for an fotf oneshot

vestal pine
#

fotf usually oneshots either way

#

and also no ulting for this comparison

lean lark
hushed agate
#

Not this argument again

south folio
#

alright without ult, it's a twoshot with a short stun after each special for ironhelm

vestal pine
#

6 marty stack and desparation cant oneshot it, probably works with either backstabber or SA full stacks

crucius can reach one shot with duellist, + cara, and marytrdom

and aside from special bps, you can always just finish off with normals if need be

#

lacerate just has inanely high requirements for what they consider "anti-armor"

#

it is not enough that they are good at it
they have to excel at it to be considered anti-armor

i dont use taxe7 because it's still not entirely fixed and 2nd light attack is still an ass, but if you use tax7 with piety, you can use whatever as ranged

vestal pine

true

#

you did seen my caxe and taxe and chaxe build right

they take different ults and keystones for maximum diverseness since i wanna match them like how i would do Set matches

ember yew

i don't really remember what people post with builds here lul

vestal pine
#

kek

#

and if i switch my caxe ranged into ironhelm ass shotgun

#

and chaxe was for quite a while lawbringer

#

im kinda forced to take something

#

that resembles a shotgun in my brain for taxe lol

#

guess i can write off laspistool as a shotgun

#

hope we get a las-shotgun one day

#

really would be cool

#

actual magfed """"""shotgun""""""

hushed agate
#

The closest we have is a illegal modification for the las gun

#

That disfocus' the beam and makes it really wide

I forgot what its called

ive never played with a weapon this ignorant in my life

i dont have to think

vestal pine
#

Shotlas - An illegal modification of a standard Lasgun popular amongst the techwrights and armour-mongers of the world of Footfall, the "Shotlas" is rigged to discharge more energy per shot, at the cost of beam coherence, with the weapon's shots swiftly losing power and becoming ineffective at longer ranges.

#

alright

#

if the caxe gets assault shotgun

#

and

#

chaxe gets lawbringer shotgun

#

what would taxe get

#

:/

hushed agate
#

Seeing as Grendel may be on the more radical side

#

As being part of his warband we could get access

#

Although personally id prefer if they just made up a new las weapon that splits the beams into multiple

#

Could have like a weird dome shaped barrel

#

Or some kind of glass that separates it

#

Something like this maybe?

#

Damn this image sucks

#

There

vestal pine

just destroy some lens in front of hadron that'll dissect the beam enough

imagine helbore but it fires shotgun shots instead

then when the light hits it

then it becomes gold

btw does knife piety still work?

meager bison
#

It's co-op too.

#

They basically edited the map to work in a straightforward flow.

#

The whole thing obviously didn't take a lot of effort, but they did it so well it was just amazing to play.

#

If there was some sort of meta progression, I would unironically have bought the "mode" as a normal full-price game.

and its the one that endured the most from the invoc nerf

I like hadron

#

Fucking despise zola though

#

She is such a boring cunt

#

The game trys to make her seem interesting with the twins fight and the seer/sefoni

#

But no amount of backstory will get me to like a character that has 0 personality

spare dome
#

Zola really is the worst figurehead

#

She's also immensely unprofessional lmao, and that was before we had the twins stuff.

rocky marsh
#

i just find hadron'

#

s lines very cringe

spare dome
#

Hallowette literally does a better job of managing mission comms during a mission than Zola does.

hushed agate

And Hallowette is just a money monkey.

hushed agate

I dont much like hallowette either but i think thats my bias speaking

If she was disconnected from the money shop id probably like her

Never heard anybody shittalk Lohner for selling hats.

hushed agate

spare dome
#

Truly devious.

rocky marsh
#

knife light spam > heavy spam
change my mind

spare dome
#

I hate her character, she's a shifty con artist and charlatan. But she's much better written than Zola, despite Zola having roughly ten times the screen time. Not including journals.

#

Zola is a single personality, nervously overwrought, and her actual value as a mission leader is intensely suspect. Especially when you stack her up against Morrow.

hushed agate
#

Actually baffling how much spotlight they put on the equivalent of white unbuttered toast

spare dome
#

Her existence should have been airlocked ages ago for incompetence.

rocky marsh

#

Swaggers cool but i have yet to hear him interact with anyone other than rannick and hadron

rocky marsh
#

might be swagger

spare dome
#

But yeah Hallowette is made to not be liked

#

Zola was made to be liked

#

In terms of character design only one succeeded here

hushed agate
#

Tbh besides what i mentioned earlier i like hallowette as a concept

#

but she doesn't seem to have much substance beyond

#

Being a jackass i guess

spare dome
#

Actually I should rephrase that Zola is meant to be empathized with but all I think is that she's a dumbass

hushed agate
#

What are you supposed to emphasize with her about

#

That her unlisted assassination mission got shut down because it was unlisted?

#

Tbf i think ranicks reasoning for wanting to pull us out is stupid but there is nothing to feel bad about for her

spare dome
#

She's an Atoman native and you're meant to care that she cares about succeeding at the missions in general.

hushed agate
#

Thats dumb

spare dome
#

But I mostly just see Rannick as entirely correct that she's overly invested emotionally in every mission she touches.

spare dome
#

I also don't see why Zola gives a shit about Atoma at all beyond being born there.

#

We don't have a backstory that makes her connection to the place clear to us. And all we know is that the place is shitty, dangerous, and gang infested, and has nearly killed her her entire life until she got out.

#

It's like Al Capone being wistful about saving Alcatraz.

#

So for us it just comes from nowhere.

#

I've said it before but DarkTide would have benefitted from less story, not more.

frosty herald
#

I might be wrong

#

But are there just 0 gaols's in the elden ring dlc

spare dome
#

We didn't need any of the prison break scenes. Pulling a knife out of Zola is not a character connection. The entire traitor story does nothing and goes nowhere.

frosty herald
#

Not talking dungeons just the circle

spare dome
#

The game would have been 10x more intruiging if you just made a character and got dumped into the 'I am a Warrior' scene with Grendyl and then the rest is left for you to gather during and inbetween missions.

frosty herald
#

Imagine if the voice actress for zola couldnt work on darktide anymore and thats why she was put in the background after the mission

placid fiber
#

Sure some are angry wormies, but, you got cool wormies none the less

hushed agate
#

But

#

The prison ship sequence is poorly done

#

And needs refining

I watched so many 40K fans basically cream their jorts on stream when they saw Cadia as a home planet choice.

hushed agate
#

People who choose cadia as there home planet are fucking boring tbh

#

I only chose it cuz its the only way to get purple eyes

#

Which is weird

placid fiber
#

I think I only chose Cadia specifically for the eye colors...

hushed agate
#

SAME

placid fiber
#

and just cuz I could more than anything

spare dome
#

And yeah the lack of meaningful impact from backstory choices

#

Just reinforces my position tbh lol

#

They really tried to make a bunch of details meaningful but flubbed it

placid fiber
#

I mean I chose stuff cuz I could, I didn't really understand much besides Cadia was destroyed when I first played darktide

spare dome
#

You could have gotten better mileage by narrowing the scope of the narrative

#

All we need to know is a) you are cannon fodder b) for a guy named Grendyl and c) welcome to the Mourningstar. We're headed to Atoma.

#

The prison break only exists to set up Wolfer (which new cutscenes already do better) and Zola (who sucks)

#

It also stands as a tutorial admittedly but that could have been anything

hushed agate
#

I feel like if we didnt have at least some attempt at lore itd be boring

#

It warhammer after all

spare dome
#

Man, I could care less lmao

#

I'm here to kill shit. And they handle the story poorly enough that I'm the opposite of interested.

placid fiber
#

I mean it's cool they tried at least, but, I didn't get darktide because of the lore

spare dome
#

If they did it well then sure. Didn't happen though.

hushed agate
spare dome
#

I'm just staunchly pragmatic about this stuff.

#

Also have an english degree for whatever that's worth.

#

So it's pretty clear to me what did and didn't work narratively.

hushed agate
#

What does sta-nchi pra pragm pragmatic meanmegachingryn

spare dome
#

Lots of time and money and development was spent on establishing story beats that went nowhere.

frosty herald
#

It also feels like there are no stakes

vestal pine
# hushed agate Which is weird

lorewise cadians have that wierd eye color cause they are constantly exposed to eye of terror, which now exists as a grand rift to split the imperium into two halves

frosty herald
#

Nothing threatens the mourningstar or shows how dire atoma is

vestal pine
#

it is unique to cadians and apprantly their eyecolor is quite recognizable to others apprantly? idk

#

least thats what i remember

polar nexus
#

Unique to cadians

hushed agate
#

Laaaaaame

#

Let me say its a genetic error

#

Or sum shit

#

Laaaaaaaaaaaame

frosty herald
#

I wonder if cadians are warp resistance or have a weakness to the warp due to being close to the eye of terror

#

We know new cadia and new catachan exist

hushed agate
#

What happened to catachan

#

I thought they were doing fine

frosty herald
#

Nothing

vestal pine
#

when did neo catachan exist

frosty herald
#

They just colonised another planet

vestal pine
#

sounds about right

hushed agate
#

Catachans feel like the anime protagonists of warhammer

frosty herald
hushed agate
#

Do they even have flaws

vestal pine
#

galactic core? isnt that place right near the maledictum?

vestal pine
frosty herald
#

Imperium were like this planet sucks ass and cadians loved it because the fauna and flora was exactly like their homeworld

hushed agate
vestal pine
#

still a flaw

#

its like a simple phrase "if you cut of its head it dies"

frosty herald

#

thoonderstorm

#

also to be clear i didnt mean the game should never have had a story

i just mean of the elements fatshark had available and put together... well the term 'kill your darlings' comes to mind

"there are skyfires at the end event"

#

boom 90% of maps solved

open pollen
royal vortex
#

the only skyfire explanation i like is the one where swagger does it off screen and he doesn't even know if he did it right

open pollen
#

Also, is it weird I think this blockout looks better than the finished product? Something about this image is very easy on my eyes.

royal vortex
#

that's the power matrix mid event isn't it

open pollen
#

Clearly.

royal vortex
#

that room just kinda sucks in general from a gameplay standpoint

#

it's not a well designed event

open pollen
#

Probably my second least favorite, after the one on excise vault.

royal vortex
#

nothing really spawns and the room isn't very conducive to having stuff spawn and be fun to fight

merry flume
#

it's ok but people suck at killing specials/elites so it falls apart the moment one person folds

royal vortex
#

unlike say refinery delta end where you could fix most of its issues by changing up spawn locations n stuff

merry flume
#

when nobody kills tox bombers and tox flamers so you can't see anything

royal vortex
#

that can happen on any part of any map

open pollen
royal vortex
#

the event has minimal unique gameplay and significantly reduced spawns compared to traversing the level normally

#

which is

#

bad

open pollen
#

I hope they consider that and the Excise Vault mid event for refurbishing

royal vortex
#

also on the topic of "chunks" i predicted the intersection of the mercantile and warren maps

#

kind of

#

but i thought the area you'd go through an airlock in in warren would be a playable area that you'd fight through

serene geyser
#

why does quickplaying an auric give +20% exp?
why would they do that

royal vortex
#

once u know what you're looking for you can find the really easy-to-modify terrain bits where something interesting is just blocked behind a fence or some wood boards

vestal pine
royal vortex
#

quickplay used to not have any rewards

merry flume
#

I think Darktide should get one mission that has a solo section just for funnies

royal vortex
#

and then they added some to incentivize doing it

open pollen
#

There's a lot of Out of Bounds areas I hope we get to visit in future maps. The distillery floor in the Carnival gives me Assassination Arena vibes, for instance.

serene geyser
open pollen
#

And the spooky red church

royal vortex
#

that's the cool thing about dt maps i think

#

the "reusability" also offers you perspective flips and ideas for new areas within an existing zone

merry flume
open pollen
#

Folks really gave FS grief about reusing parts of maps but I really dig the concept myself. I just wish we had more maps to make use of it.

royal vortex
#

also fatshark does a really good job of creating areas good for different gameplay styles which is one thing i can consistently give them praise for in maps

serene geyser
#

there should be more assassination missions i love that my reward for a mission well done is gang banging some punk in carapace

royal vortex
#

take an exe stance bolter and really try to shoot from as far away as you can on like magistrati or enclavum barross

#

you will ascend

lusty turtle
merry flume
#

I hope they reuse more map parts because it all gears up for practice for the chaos wastes mode

lusty turtle
#

Gimme more throneside

royal vortex
#

we got 4 for one of them

#

i think

#

the chasm terminus zone i wanna say

serene geyser
#

chaos wastes random builds were so goddamn fun after 500 hours

lusty turtle
royal vortex
#

inter-zone void would be so fuckin cool to see more of. i still want a big Moebian Iron Mine tileset

#

like the underground stuff from vt2

royal vortex
#

there's only a few outliers

fleet zealot
#

does orthus offensive count as a torrent mission? in that case

open pollen
vestal pine
lusty turtle
vestal pine
#

sometimes it's annoying

royal vortex
#

oh this is chasm logistratum mid event

#

this is another bad one

merry flume
#

orthos offensive is such a cool looking map with rtx on too bad raytracing kills my frames

royal vortex
#

this one is a really bad data interrogator because there aren't multiple

#

there's a singular one you always have to go to which creates 0 variability

open pollen
royal vortex
#

(do not get me started on warren mid event)

merry flume
#

hehe big servitor

lusty turtle
#

All events should be the gloriana finale from now on

royal vortex
#

anything with a single data interrogator in a mostly-open room is super repetitive and lacking gameplay

vestal pine
hushed agate
fleet zealot
#

the worst mid event imo is the hourglass power cell giant fan mid event

vestal pine
#

but gloriana finale was definitly icing on the cake

fleet zealot
#

it's absolutely bipolar and i'd take a boring data interrogator spot over it any day

open pollen
fleet zealot
#

either you have a team that does the event perfectly and it's done in less then a minute

royal vortex
#

i quite enjoy the relay station mid event

fleet zealot
#

or you have absolutely brainless clowns

#

who sit in a corner

open pollen
#

That's more a team issue than a map issue, no?

fleet zealot
#

and your team just gets whittled to dust

royal vortex
#

events probably shouldn't be a breather from regular gameplay

hushed agate
misty nova
fleet zealot
#

the map issue is that it's too variable depending on team coordination

merry flume
#

or you get people who tunnel on pox walkers and get owned by all the disablers that spawn in the fire escape

open pollen
#

The Giant Fan mid event is fairly unique and downright iconic. I shan't permit its slander without rebuke

royal vortex
#

excise vault mid event has really good aesthetics

fleet zealot
#

most other events I can solo if given time

royal vortex
#

i wish they leaned more into "servitor graveyard" for this part though

#

the rest of the map is kinda just dusty

merry flume
fleet zealot
#

fan event i basically have to rely on my teammates , i need at least 2 competent teammates that WON't go try to waste time saving the 4th person being a fucking idiot

royal vortex
hushed agate
#

Oh to be added to the colony yeah id like that

lusty turtle
#

Honestly what i want is actual like

#

Setup moebian ambushes

royal vortex
#

you know what i want warren's mid event to be

merry flume
royal vortex
#

like the sycorax one

#

but you're being assaulted by moebian squads instead of 8 million poxwalkers

lusty turtle
#

Dude

open pollen
#

Personal favorite mid events. I'd say, Giant Fan in hourglass, despite Amelia's lamentation. The new one in the Void that you can speedrun is pretty toit too. And Archivum Sycorax! I enjoy the ones you can "Speed up" by doing efficiently. As opposed to the ones where the only speeds are "Slow" and "Slower".

royal vortex
#

and you have to do a data interrogator to open the next door (once) and u progress forward

lusty turtle
#

The moebians are so under utalized

royal vortex
#

the void mid event is really good

fleet zealot
royal vortex
#

shooter hell the first couple times you play it

#

cuz u dont know the spawns

fleet zealot
#

WE HAVE A FUCKING bounty on our head by the 6th

#

have fucking squads come after us led by an ambush captain

royal vortex
#

that map has multiple "mini events" that make the gameplay feel more cinematic

merry flume
#

reaper/gunner squad

fleet zealot
#

have it in the monstrosity pool

merry flume
#

all you hear is fire then 10000 bullets

royal vortex
#

the entire lead up to the end event from when you push the button to summon the elevator to finishing smashing the ice on the gears is sick

lusty turtle
#

I know story wise they make no sense, but twins should invade merchantile again

fleet zealot
royal vortex
merry flume
#

they laugh don't they

fleet zealot
#

t. captains need a soft rework anyways

royal vortex
#

also they need to unnerf traitor captains and fix magistrati spawns AGAIN

vestal pine
open pollen
# lusty turtle Setup moebian ambushes

Imagine a mid event's just a transport carrier crashing through a wall and you have to rebuff its contents, and then a second wave rappels from the ceiling. Something dynamic like that would be dope!

royal vortex
#

it's still broken if you dps check it with even moderate efficiency

vestal pine
royal vortex
#

you won't get anything but poxwalkers until the guy is dead

open pollen
#

Here's crazy idea. Mid Event Assassination Target fight.

vestal pine
#

just a random scab captain with his "killteam" of crushers n shit rush your ass

open pollen
#

Except we're the one's they're trying to assassinate

royal vortex
vestal pine
#

what was magistrati

royal vortex
#

where you get the guy down to half health and then he fart clouds to an area above where you are

lusty turtle
royal vortex
#

and you have to fight up the catwalk

royal vortex
#

u start in da sewers

vestal pine
#

ah right

#

you really wanna do the funny TP shit karnak twins do for normal caps

#

idk if i like that

#

i just want actual scab killteams

#

we already have patrols

merry flume
#

ambush squads that breach walls and use smoke grenades would kinda be funny

royal vortex
#

the magistrati fight just sucks rn

vestal pine
#

instead of a boss spawn,

#

like

royal vortex
#

the arena isn't very interesting and the guy just dies

lusty turtle
#

Brainblast moment

vestal pine
#

make it spawn a decently sized killteam spawn where captain keep reinforces enemies

royal vortex
#

scab captain when he drops off his weird cliff thing and just gets destroyed by 3 crackheads and an ogryn with a pickaxe

vestal pine
#

tbh

#

if he wanted to win he could've just surrounded the elevator with 20 maulers

open pollen
royal vortex
#

a funny thing i found out is branx fights a scab captain identically to a thunderhammer

#

because the heavies go way over the per-hit damage cap on the shield

#

so u lightspam it

north sedge
#

should add some version of the elite monsters stuff from vt2

vestal pine
#

and then wait for the shield off and then thrust his ass

lusty turtle
#

New elite "kill team" shooters, they use thw high skull faced helmets from the OG gameplay trailer

Only spawn as an "ambush", do not count as elite or specials, but are tougher more aggressive units sent to hunt you

royal vortex
#

and you have to fight like a roided up plague ogryn

#

that would be sick

spare dome
#

bring back nurgloth the eternal

open pollen
#

With the fewer, but tougher, enemies.

royal vortex
#

give the bosses ranged attacks that aren't stupid slow into getting vommed bullshit

merry flume
royal vortex
#

also i want more mid-tier melee elites

spare dome
#

good

royal vortex
#

where lightning reflexes has a purpose

spare dome
#

cause the vt2 fights are mostly a joke

#

and if it wasnt for captain having a shield these ones would be too

royal vortex
#

magistrati is boring af

open pollen
merry flume
#

people who would still try to get most kills while nurgloth was hard focusing them

royal vortex
#

chasm station is fun in monstrous specials

#

give us an area that's like chaos wastes final area

eeeevill arbites maybe

i remember my brain being blown away when skarrik pulled out his daggers to attack because it had been over 1,500hrs since i had last seen him survive for longer than his introductory voiceline

some shielded enemies would be nice

#

i dont really want shielded trash

vestal pine

hes kinda joke last i heard

royal vortex

i think u would do strange things to dt gameplay if u opened that can of worms too wide

vestal pine

i do want some shield stormvermin action in DT

#

though idk how it'd work since in VT2 staminas are easy to come by and the rat opens up to attacks if you just push 3 times

i also want psyker enemies that buff the bad guys

and twist my nuts with brain burst

merry flume

i think darktide should get shielded small/medium enemies

royal vortex
hushed agate
#

I cast full body carpet burn!

vestal pine
#

that is true

royal vortex
#

because you will get shot, take some toughness damage, and recover like 50% stamina

which is a lil absurd

vestal pine

i do wanna see some dreg psyker specials

#

like uh

royal vortex

because you had 1.25s stamina regen delay

that shit was insane dude i cannot believe i played through that

u have to

hard nexus

royal vortex
#

or u take like an inspiring barrage ripper 5 and shoot it at the ranged guys to suppress them and immediately refill the whole toughness bar

royal vortex
#

(inspiring barrage ba mk5 ripper is a lil underrated, it's sick)

vestal pine
#

but instead of doing shit to toughness it just straight chunks your health off

rocky marsh
#

is inspiring barrage a blessing or skill node

open pollen
#

You could also make it a LOS thing if it needed further nerfing. So it's more a "Don't stand out in the open too long" thing.

royal vortex
#

blessing

vestal pine
#

hard nexus
#

node

royal vortex
#

toughness regenned per 15% of mag fired

rocky marsh

oite i will try that

I died 2-3 times on ogryn and all were genuinely my fault

open pollen
#

Enemy psyker sheilds might also be neat.

royal vortex
#

with ripper's fire rate you can get like 2x your total toughness back (still capped at 100%)

vestal pine
#

if someone gave gold toughness at you you can just dump mag and befreeeeee

hard nexus
#

society

royal vortex
#

ogryn is the class most annoying to learn because you have worse dodges and a lot of your weapons feel like you're on some kind of input delay because of the swing/chain time

vestal pine

genuinely ogryn just feels that have a input delay

#

like the charge having input delay

:/

royal vortex

i have the funniest charge clip someone will ever make

hard nexus

#

let me find it

hard nexus
rocky marsh
#

my first class was ogryn and i was somewhat decent
(maybe because i played shield first) but eh

I feel ogryn heavies take a decent amount of time to wind up, so you really need to learn when to release assuming no thrust

nothing beats this

me personally

open pollen
#

You know, upon review, I might just dislike Data Interrogator mid events. Excluding Excise Vault, all of the mid events I don't care for revolve around babysitting a single data interrogator.

i’d survive

vestal pine
#

unless its a stubber i think the delay is between columnus and a flamer

#

gorgonum takes long as a bolter i think

royal vortex
#

have u ever fired a ripper once

i use ripper

royal vortex

with its fire delay and the worst fucking brace animation ever

vestal pine

oh right the brace

yeah with brace its worse than bolters

royal vortex

i mean when you pull the trigger it takes time before it actually fires

it's pretty bad

does it?
