no rending in this build btw
Oh? So it can still drop?
really? figured going fast would be important with shivs lmao
I did it on Despacito build with Vrak (my beloved)
cheers boys
fucken weird
Yup but you will never know if it is ready
unfortunately you wouyld be incorrect
yep lmao
Crowbar with the Push blessing is so good, especially when you're drugged up and your piss mode is active
A down normally fixes it from what I can tell
you just can't really compete with 2.5k per light swing at insane attack speeds paired with effectively infinite cleave
Kerfus, I am told you like the IAG on skoom. Which one and why take it over brauto
It'd be nice, but everything else is just more important
We'd finally get the weapon sights we've been asking for
OK MLG Darktide player
what blessings should i put on crobar?
Ol columnus goes brrrrr
Superiority and bash
scum itself and the shivs already has huge movement capabilities
this one
graia brauto go bRRRRRRRRRRRRR
The class does have some areas where it does feel weak, mainly in its team utility. other teammates dont benefit alot from having a hivescum in the team.
I love that the mastery skin for the crowbar is just a regular red crowbar
and I dunno, just... fast. Quick reload. ADS is good for sniping.
Vraks iag goes more brrrr
It goes so hard
"this class is glass no cannon"
okay the vraks feels like an excellent alternative to the uzis
Question: How does anyone know how much damage the rocket launcher does to a monster? <.<
is unstoppable force not good?
It also brings back memories
Legit I prefer vraks to uzis
it is but like they're already pretty fast
i might try vraks instead of uzis and swap to chem dep just because i dont find vulture fun
gonna mmiss the bash on the uzi tho
great to knock back the burster
Hmmm, I suppose not needing speedload does free up a damage perk. I will try it out but I hate aiming on principle
My issue is trying to find 1 node to cut
well i rarely ADS with it
mostly if there's a special at mid range I wanna doornail
usually just run in and
Fully charging the heavies may not be possible depending on the situation, so the damage and cleave won't affect you. Superiority is good because the stacks fall off one at a time.
For whem chem dependency is fixed
TRUST ME BRO
Shit looks like a lizardman, just squint a little
Im honesly considering dropping like a butterfly
its the extra dodge with ranged weapon node
By zooks I think you mean bazooka
Hell yeah
I like blackouts but they sorta just dont regenerate properly
But it looks like a lizardman if you squint bro, commisar's gonna have words for you bro
I use blackouts on my rampage build because as an oh shit button they can't be beat

but bazooka in all other cases
There a weird dicothomy in the hive scum's tree where all damage sources buff either ranged damage or melee damage that gets buffed rather then any instances of both being buffed. which is a huge difference from classes like the veteran as can be seen in the skrimisher talent.
are braced autos any good now or is infantry still the way to go
Yeah don't get my love of Zooks as recommendation
(I also don't want to get used to leaning on chem nade because that shit WILL get nerfed)
yeah
do i look the type to care what he says
I like Zooks.
i mean im p sure bazooka's initial direct hit also scales with ranged damage so it doesn't not fit
whats the best melee weapon for a melee build for rampage?
but hive scum also has the easiest source of infinite ammo ever
so like
just shoot everything
Saw, Crowbar, Shivs, Rashad
Sounds like Rashad or the slashy shivs
You may not care about what he says, but you will care when he's got that bolt gun pointed at you. Don't take no trait that looks like xenos filth
or stab everything
True. Just did the no ammo auric mael earlier. Was fun but had pox bursters pushed on me by teammates a few times ๐
Is that so... So a desperado build with everything up will hit like a thunder hammer zealot without making me use a totally gimped build against anything that's not a plague ogryn
interesting
I had a walker long jump at me
Bursters are wilding recently.
Like 20 feet
rashad pretty easily if you're looking for the overall best melee, but that isn';t to undermine how strong the other options are either
Wish I recorded video
ill dodge that too
I've been jumped on by entire groups that were completely silent, it is maddening
Btw any ui mods updated?
Rashad + Bromentum + Hyper-Violence
Taking universal weapons on the hive scum class? Icky, stinky.
yeah more or less, although you might miss havin a different blitz just for their unique utilities
the strikedown shivs are pretty good
Specifically ones that let you choose what buffs you wsnt to show
I mean, Arby's best gun is old Combat Shotgun

they're my favourite weapons to run on a rampage build
But muh class fantasy
this is a completely fine opinion to have! :D
It's a shotgun
I mean its on the class
Still very on point ๐
rashad perks?
Whatever you want dead most
But it's not the right shotgun, gw is frowning at you right now
my class fantasy is cosplaying a coked up blender and rashad fulfills that pretty easily
If I'm running desperado, I don't want blackouts because blackouts are for escaping and I am not interested in escaping, as long as I keep holding down trigger I will trust the Vulture's Dodge procs and just keep shooting. I also don't want to use chem nades as if things are going to die I want them to die by bullet. So zooka remains the correct choice.
My bh is a drug dealer
oh huh still the same
Low finesse smh
honestly i just dont wanna use rashad cause the other weapons are so intresting and ive used combat axes too much
this is ocmpletely real and true
shit roll, recycle trash, 0/10 weapon return to brunt
that's fine, you dont have to use the best option
hivescum's unique class weapons are still very vvery very strong with rampage
Shit roll, punch hadron in the face
this does NOT kill the bruiser
I think I just had the single worst net Ive ever seen
It loses its sainted status
Shot me through stairs and a fence
bazooka does not scale with ranged damage unfortunately it's bugged i'm p sure
I had one through 2 sets of boxes
2 days ago
Gonna turn you into a servitor that exists to flush ogryn toilets
The real sleeper melee with Scum is the chaxe. I am not joking. Its basically Rashad but you can kill Crushers instantly.
it's okay for crushers on a desparado build but the other two are less janky
is it the light attacks again
Nah, shes gonna do that to kerfus
Hyper critical slashing shivs trust
PLEASE tell me the Mk IV light attacks have a brand new even funnier breakpoint on scum
nah it scales and is good
eh i mean, i dunno
as stated before there's a use-case in a pretty geneeral build for 'em where they fit the best
It doesn't work if kills are from dot
Of course, swing my chainaxe side to side
hell yeah
Im aware
Absolute noob here, question regarding weapon stats: Do I have to buy/find weapons till I find one with the right stats? Like I've seen a video in which every stat was on 80% except one, they've said its the dump stat for that weapon
all melees are good on meleescum
desperado on braced works well i've heard, but iag is fvery good too
yes
I don't know about breakpoints but I do know that if you invest in some cleave it kind of just eats everything in front of you in one hit
you buy greys at Brunt until you gamble into a perfect roll
Makes sense, main issue was mobility, attack speed and damage was already great
But yeah need mods to do that because for some reason the nade regun buff icon isnt displayed at all
Unless in psykanium
you want your potential stats to line up with what you want them to look like, then you empower the weapon until those stats are filled out
so more or less yes
alright, thank you lads
Oh yeah, it works completely fine but only shows outside of meat grinders
it's really good, idk if it beats rashad tho
You don't need to close the gap with gunners when the needle pistol exists and can onetap them
Is the crit bleed bessing good on dual shivs?
It only shows in the meat grinder
Or do you still run uncanny?
honestly? i actually wouldn't doubt it that much, although i'd imagine the attack speed is a fair bit slower and it has less ccleave?
Sorry I meant inside
uncanny + FT is i think the best combo
Doesn't it only work with melee?
Not in the grinder
Really? Not riposte?
does anyone feel like really slow when using rampage?
Amd honestly melee kills are less likely to proc it than ranged for me
would be my 3rd pick, but we only get 2 blessing slots
Makes sense
lol
How are you running your Rashad btw, I'd like to give it a go
here guys
Oh, it doesn't require melee but it does have distance limit, only with in 12.5 meters
I made a SUPER secret meta Rashad
Yes
i see the tanner stamp of approval!
Now I can forget the rocket launcher exists.
two wounded allies, two non-scum including an arby with no stim
scum both mark the med stim right by us as we're about to activate the shrine event.
Neither pick it up
But I still think it is only triggering per 20 kills (as in one stack per 20 kills)
๐คข
headtaker, bromentum, unarmored and carapace
After using both, I would say they are both incredible, so it comes down to taste, and chainaxe matches my drip more than the caxe
I just gotta find the mods that let me pin certain buffs so it appears
So I can check in missions
You get so much attack speed from rampage this is a non-issue, and you acan get cleave in the tree
It's meta truss me
perks arent even really necessary for aurics i find, i just took unarmored for the hyper-violence meme and carapace because i ts the only thing i even remotely struggle against
If you really want to go all in on mulching carapace
Cara elite
kerfus for a moment I was legitimately angry and was about to correct this. You got me, well done but also fuck you
oh boy time to play the game of can i get my hands on a real +3 stamina charm!
yeah ccara elite does also work i just like my big number from hyper-violence
Fair
I am a great baiter.
You could say.
A MASTER Baiter.
I might swap maniac out for carapace, thoughts? (ignore the 400 I am broke rn)
is rampage even good? it seems really restrictive
Restrictive?
its fucking incredible if you know what you are doing
Yeah
(IE don't stand around once it wears off)
very, very good
My favorite ability is still stimm pack
it is SO good imho
i also feel like im like WAY slower when its active, i dunno, maybe im too used to desperado
is this skill like....actually bugged? not just the description?
If you are a Based Vulture Enjoyer you will feel slow when using a melee build, it is true
but also, im malding cause IMMEDIATELY when swapping to melee, next mission is like 800 gunners off rip with no cover
no it works
Dibosia
what does sainted even do
I need a new modlist
damn...doesnt really feel like a lot
slide at em
Its a mod for 500 power weps
makes it red :)
My sainted weapons are green
what does that do?
i just abuse slide and sprint dodge
Nothing, its cosmetic for those of us who enjoyed having red weapons in VT2
i like my guns yes
sliding effectively stops you from getting shot
also helps filter out visually useless golds from rewards
@random shuttle what is the mod for the weapon naming btw
fact some may have not noticed, when ramapge ends your heart beats really loudly and superquickly (in game
the crowbar is just not working well for me, its so awkward
NameIt
And then, there's my legendary Revolver
K thanks gonna add that to my list
I do wish there was a QuickPlayButOnlyEventMissions option
Behold
Normal woman
Also numericui os dead right?
damn
yes but on mod server you can find a fix
i mean by the time it ends my heart is also beating really loudly and super quickly because of the amount of serotonin using rampage produces
you are an interesting lad thats for sure
The modding discord has a temp fix until it gets fully updated
Yeah Ill take a look I am in there
Like taking an E, but without the shitty next day

wha
Scum makes me feel actual primal emotions while playing, something I haven't felt since Slayer Bardin
we need a single stub pistol
Anyone know perks for dual semis
so i can call it "John Wick's fav"
oh yeah same
For Desperado?
at first i didnt really feel it but the melee build has me hooked
Rampage
@tender forge this is what im using
I just need breakpoint perks
grab shivs throw knife, ez (im shitposting ignore me
Thanks
Probably Pinning an the suppression one, icr what its called
dual shiv blending
Oh shit, myb, Flak/Maniac
And I'm running run n gun speedload
Desperado
Akimbo pistols
Gunslinger duster
Just as the God-Emperor intended
Lule
I used to abuse the cannon
Yeah I was bad how'd you know 
I have taken actual vengeance against a scab shooter that hit me in the back while I was killing his friends. Like he poked me and did health damage and I killed him, hit his dead body like 4 times, and felt actual rage and catharsis while doing it.
An ogryn did that with a trapper the last mission I played 
it was a trapper they deserved it regardless of what they achieved that mission
Also since I started playing scum I've been getting so many "kill x of y enemy" penances done it's unreal
Trappers deserve to be clubbed, then stoned and pissed on for good measure
feels like they ramped up the director tbh
Good 
My friend had a trapper that was below them on a dropdown and it forced them back up the point of no return lmao
They 100% deserve it
Oof, that sucks. Bastard things
ayyy lvl 30 scum
Everytime I get queued into the twin mission I'm happy cause there's a lot of materials there, but also annoyed since that's the mission I fail the most
does chem from bonesaw counted as "chem toxin"?
yes
ty
I must know if Fatshark is actually working on fixing that cartel proud cosmetic
I want to wear it, but it's purple
hows the bonesaw for hordes?
And the mod crashes so fuq
Does the stim last 15 seconds like the normal ones?
Purple is good
@random shuttle Had an idea last night, I don't think its a good idea but what do you think about a single wound curio on Scum? Since its so fragile, 3 toughness doesn't do that much more than 2 of them, and wound covers for your fragility by giving your team a third shot. Sometimes going down just happens and a single mistake can down you, so I hypothesize that a third strike might cover for that. Yes yes, skill issue, just never get hit lmao, but I think everyone if they are being honest knows that's not actually always possible.
If you go down, you die
Wounds are pointless
Unless you're like. . . just playing regular difficulty board
I would never
Not on the blue gangs cosmetics it ain't
But in Aurics, Maelstroms, and Havocs, wounds are worthless due to this
Now I just look homeless
Fair enough, just a random shower thought
Just join the water cartel
We will take you with open arms
Fuck no
Blue team for life
all 3 of them
I know what you are
Purple is awesome
I mean ofc, go for it, there is no GAMING police here
Nuh uh
just for me it would be a waste of curio ๐
Yeah huh
Nuh uh
That's it, next time I see you it's on sight
No more water for you either
Water cartel controls 70% of Imperium population
since all humans are 70% water

Next time I see you I'll just point at the Water Cartel corpses in the torrent
"These yo homies?"
question, how are we handling carapace enemies when we run out of bazookas? I feel like HS cant really handle armor, looking for advice
Fair
Lord Magleviathan
All of your arguments are invalid, sorry
Yes, and they died valiantly.
Next question.
Lady Steel
"Bruh they in a CART. That's invalid af"
Easily the second best boss name (behind Lord Magleviathan, which is peak)
They're banging
THEY DIED PROCTECTING THEIR TURF WHILE YOU COWARDS JUST LET THE HERETICS TAKE OVER EVERYTHING
Dan Abnett wrote LORD MAGELVIATHAN
Fuck, now we're getting fedcoms
Bitch we in charge of the Tithe. We had other shit to do
I have fallen in love with gun hivescum. This is a clip from damnation with a braced autogun with only 200 power. You never have to stop shooting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS-bjE3WQaQ
This was on damnation with my lv21 Hive Scum. My Graia MkIV braced autogun was only at 200 power so this gives you an idea what you can do with mobility, positioning, and endless dakka as Hive Scum.
I hear Lord M is a chick, is this true?
vulture mark vs dependency for Desperado? they both feel pretty good
My problem with it is the downside is ridiculous for an ability that is weaker than scriars gaze, and it punishes you for having good teammates who can kill hoards effectively, especially on higher difficulties.
wait do people think margrave is a family name
Jakka is trying to start a gang war
thats a noble rank
Lord M transcends our puny weakling understanding of gender, sex, and role. They simply are.
So Yuri then?
fr this ability is toxic with desperado since they just steal all your kills
by the time you dive 2 gunenrs they wipe out the horde already
Expect a train to drive through your house at 3:34 AM on tuesday
I was a chick in the 40s, no one could possibly understand my sexual preferences so che-che-che-check your privilege
type shit
do we think they intended stim supply and chemical dependency to have antisynergy even though they're on the same side of the tree
nerfed at last minute
it used to work
Tank beats train
It was a hot fix nerf to prevent game ruining issues
oh lol
You've never seen an artillery train, have you?
nope
oh i see the problem, it would shorten its own cooldown lol
planes beat artillery train
We have more tanks
yeah but it wasn't doing it right
(planes also usually beat tanks)
Yep
the weakness of train is some guys with angle grinders
It was pretty much instant for some reason
Mh
I sometimes feel bad for my teammates when I use scum
They don't really get to kill stuff when my ability is up
Like in what world are you meleeing hoards for 20+ seconds when flame staff psyker is in the game
Karen
they just have to get to the tracks 20 minutes early
We aren't talking about planes here
Well I could be wrong but I think the only ones with planes right now are the heretics and the inquisition so everyone else is kind of fucked
Moebian 21st and 53rd air force still in play
the 53rd probably doesnt have a huge number of valkyries considering their tactical role but they should have some combat aircraft
my ogryn is no shirt no shoes the only cosmetics allowed
fatshark still unable to foot the bill for recoloring the female body bra depending on cosmetic (this would cost five minutes that would be better spent on shop cosmetics)
I'm very certain scum won't stay as it is rn for long but man
Ill look back upon this version fondly cause it's so damn fun
what are good blessings on shiv"?
uncanny riposte probably?
Uncanny and the finesse damage one
If it gets nerfed it will be basically unplayable for all but six people
If it gets buffed it will become absolutely oppressive
I think its in a good state right now
depends on what you're using it for
Honestly, if Fatshark doesn't cater to people who can't stay alive, I can't see it changing much.
But if they give it more passive survivability outside of the ults, it'll definitely catch some damage output nerfs which would be sad.
since uncanny is only 45%
is it just me or do the hive scum and veterans get along?
rampage
and the tox knives special kills crushers real good
o
yeah prob uncanny+riposte/precog then
cutthroat at least
no
Yeah this is the big thing, lose some glass, lose some cannon, and that would suck
the bra and underwear arent separate entities
anyone know the actual cleave values on the crowbar
some of the vets would have been hive scum if they werent tithed lol
but so much as part of the bodies's model
father I crave the damage
Professional gets along with Outlaw the most, BH second most.
Then again wiping out gunner hordes with zero issue is kind of insane
(though probably appreciated by your teammates who arent immune to them)
its not a simple recolor
It should be no more complex than changing skin color
people saying desperado is bad is crazy to me
hm, thoughts on the best weapon to finish the 'kill enemies with heavy attacks while cartel special is active' penance? Using crowbar, but doesn't seem ideal
Yeah BH is friends with all the usual "professional" voices like Savant Psyker, Cutthroat, Professional vet, etc.
I'm on a whole different vibe playing this class with doom music ngl, makes the experience so much more visceral
Maybe they will remove the time extension on ranged kill in desperado and instead give an increased base time of it
With the most snippy they get with eachother them lamenting that BH ended up being a killer for hire rather than killer for a cause
That may work
probably rashad combat axe? big fat cleave heavy
really from the dialog that i've heard seeing as i play as the professional vet he seems to get along well with the outlaw
the bra and underwear is baked into the body model proper (look how weird they bend following the curve of the bones)
Is stimm supply bugged? I dont think its supposed to use your stim without proccing dependency stack
thanks, I'll check it out. spam lights for armor, heavies for hordes?
Maybe one of the heavy swords that has the repeating swipes on all heavies past the first one? Should cut through hordes like butter
yes confirmed bug
I see
cutthroat doesnt xd
outlaw gets along with fellow friendly personalities
whats the difference between both marks of the needler ?
man, I haven't used a heavy sword for a long, long time. Good thought though, hordeclear was kinda always their thing
Then again for all the ease with which I can clear gunner hordes I really do struggle on boss damage (on the human guys, the shielded ones)
idk about that
I love how the Outlaw calls out the Anarchist for being the worst of the worst. And calling out the Maul for just being a psycho
Man the stims are a major let down too. I wish they had unique effects and not just regular stims but worse...
whats the best keystone modifiers for rampage?
toughness regen and weakspot stacks
I hardly remember to use regular stims outside heal and cooldown so I thought I would be using them more as scum
you just kinda use heavies for everything and run brutal momentum headtaker iirc
But thatโs more me
but imo adrenaline is fine with no modifiers added
since it gains stacks on hit and is not capped per swing
The types of explosions they do. One is an aoe that spreads poison and the other is an explosion.
You're talking about rigging, I am talking about texture space. The two are barely related. Changing the color of the undergarment would be no more complex than changing skin tone, which I am guessing is done with a filter rather than an entirely new texture as that would be enormous. But, even if that were the case, that each skin tone is its own texture file, you could do the undergarment with a filter. Its white so just an RGB tint would do 100% of the heavy lifting.
Worst case scenario, separate out the texture file for that mesh. I have no idea how much actually references that texture space but I'm going to guess "not much".
Anyway my shmoopsies, by dingleberries, my delightful crusty toblerones - time for sleepies. Goodnight!
really ? I tested in simulacrum and didnt really see any real difference other then the toxin dot dmg on the toxin
Night kerfus, sleep well o/
Goodnight!
the AOE poison spread one also gives less poison stacks on crit/headshot compared to the other one
Tbf the anarchist is just a straight goblin
slash shiv or stab shiv?
stab
I prefer slash shiv
but then I play melee with a toxin build not melee damage
Stab
rashad heavies are overhead strikes aren't they
can you stack bleed on that?
why would I want a cleave based heavy attack when the main appeal of weapons like the kinife or shives is cutting through hordes with good light spam
it's barely any extra cleave tho
Good info, thanks. I prefer the mark VI personally but they are both decent.
and your ST combo is total ass
cleave is cleave
it might bee light spam one of them goes sideways and with brumo mulches hordes
my single target combo is pressing weapon special 3 times
it's like 1 cleave lol
light for hordes, heavies for single target
been a while since i rashaded
so with buffs, you prob cleave one more poxxer?
welp hive scum is my favoite class
yeah
who then DIES
bitch deserved it
if rashad is lights then yeah probably heavy sword for heavy attack kills
Class is SO fun, my only trouble is surviving any poxbursters...
I used catachan sword for it, the heavies are horizontal slices back and forth
anyways the main appeal of slashy shiv is the faster lights
Also needle gun doesnt proc ranged kills nodes?
... push?
them having extra cleave is just kind of a lil' bonus that I don't think about
how do you get more critical hit chance on scum?
Teammates + so many DoTs in the game right now
Dependency
not unless you kill with the 30 impact damage
There's options
Get good at using the uzi bash to knock them away like you would shove with a melee
Shoot them when they are still far away
Run the fuck away and let your team handle it
drugs, chemical dependency keystone (melee), vulture's mark keystone (ranged), and float like a butterfly up top
original chainsword or mk1 devil claw could also work for heavy horde clearing
is adrenaline frenzy worth it or is chem dependency just better?
oh this was meant to reply to activating ranged kill nodes lol
mk1 dclaw is really ass
chem dependency is only really good with desperado/rampage
to keep them active near permanently
Then again vulture is borderline invincibility
i mean it doesnt work with stim supply now lol
that last one is really important right now, you need to run from bombers you see because people are just blasting them when they get close
Ok fellas lowkey
Stimm crate tox build with bone saw kinda fun
and yeah keystone straight doesn't work with stimm supply
its all wide sweeping heavies if you're just rtying to get the most amount of trash killed per swing, and you still have the parry to fall back to for defense
honestly i think it's really only good with desperado
Since most recent patch, pushing feels extremely risky because of teammates.
adrenaline is too important to skip
free weekend means your team is out to get you
for rampage builds
honestly, does the toxin tick proc any on kill nodes?
Poisonmaxxing is fun
So the difference, mainly, between the 2 shiv marks is one has cleaving heavies and one has single target heavies? Both have cleaving lights :\
its the free weekend doing it
sample collector :)
yeah but only raw "on kill"
Yeah the corkscrews are just better
I just use my comical mobility to push up, kill a few guys and retreat to do it again once it's safe again
Correct
is it a good idea to mix chem melee with bleed?
cleaving heavy shiv's lights are faster and have better stats
it's a testament to how good the gun is that I wouldn't give a shit if it didn't proc anything, mind you
i think the modifiers on the cleaving heavies one are better for the lights as well, but single target damage is less straight forward
works well with shivs
Yes.
the needle gun is so fun
a LOT worse on melee builds
Crit is more important imo
I think both versions of the shiv are balanced and play in the exact same way as both versions of the original knife, with the cleaving heavy one needing to do push attack spam for single target
No joy or whimsy
how do you single target with the sweeping shivs? Tried it in the psychanium and couldn't figure it out
i love plinking a guy while running by and then he falls over behind me like 5 seconds later
I think also the net code for the game is slightly worse.
Lots of poxbursters exploding early, or late.
I've had a couple instances of them exploding with no animation either.
push attack into heavy
both do a stab heavy after the push attack, otherwise... and both push attacks look almost identical to me
I need to grind out another 20kish plasteel and 2 mil gold to fix up the rest of the weapons on my hive scum to try em out
Dunno
the difference between them single target wise on a tox build is not a lot
check the killfeed, one of your teammates shot it, guarantee
I suppose needle pistol is about as upgrade agnostic as you can get though
Just gonna clarify
Bonesaw dump is just mobility right? No other stats?
even raw stats are largely meaningless outside of mag capacity/total ammo
That's the thing though, there was no kill feed on it. Poxburster just spawned from a wall and it was just me.
yeah i legit dont know what to take on needle pistol
no idea then
I remember path said only things matter on it are mobility and ammo and that's it
bonesaw seems like it really wants wrath and then refined lethality is good
Here I thought the mk1 was the cleaving one due to the lights being cleave attacks, how wrong I was >.>'
shock and awe and deci
the only thing the needler wants is crit, which is easy enough. Interesting to note, the perks on the weapon DO affect toxin damage, so carapace and unyielding are the choices.
Wrath and Shock and Awe is my pick
The blessing that grants ranged attack immunity on sprint is really good.
The needle doesn't need much stats or blessings to be effective.
I've seen some jank behavior, like bombers spawning into a hallway, and both immediately dropping bombs with almost no delay, dogs running out of doorways directly into a takedown with no leap, stuff like that. But I think that kind of jank has always happened?
Oh deci? Why not wrath?
shock and awe is your cleave talent
Does deci increase dot damage?
rashad kinda fucks on hive scum ngl
and then deci is both cleave and damage
hmm idr if deci is only melee strength
rashad fucks in general
nah deci strength isn't global
Fuck
deci is power
sweep or stab shivs for adrenalin frenzy?
no, it's Mstr
Anything, none of blessings affect Chem Toxin, only intitial needle
Scummers out damaging flamestick Psykers
prob stab shivs if it's an actual melee build
Ok then I may be dumb because I ran both wrath and shawe
We is da best
carapace/unyielding, then stuff for crit bceause crit increases dot stacks applied
keep your outdated terminology out of this omnissiah sponsored chat
well then you have a LOT of cleave lol
Welp time to swap wrath for deci
i remember it being a pain to keep up but i might be thinking about chained weakspots
damage modifiers won't do anything unless you keep the gun in your hands while the DoT is active
Slashing with hyper critical and points into chems, trust
what're the perks on rashad? flak/carapace?
it is a pain to keep up
Yeah I think it's good since I am kinda poison maxxing?
I was told saw needs a lot of cleave
dats why it's mid
I'm toying with the idea of adjusting my ranged build from vulture to dependency
Make up for the damage loss with my chems
not hyper critical because I don't like dying, but this is infact exactly my build
i like refined lethality because it makes most enemies a casual 2 shot
if you're not toxining them down
i'm running unyielding and +2 stamina currently but i dont have a +3 stamina curio yet
Trying to kill damnation enemies with these 200 rated shivs sure is something... especially since I only have 7 talent points... I'm definitely switching back to the mk1, tho, before I keep leveling up...
I am never ever relying on my knives for carapace damage outside of using the special to assist in stacking toxin
Right, and nothing else does anything except maybe crit chance. Bonus damage on the first tick is better than sorry nothing
i feel like outside limbsplitter, none of the blessing options for the bonesaw seem that bad to run
i get shock and awe though its about the same number of extra hits but up in one kill instead of 5 attacks
Crit chance + stam probs best value
limbsplitter is such a joke blessing lmao
whats better for shives, precognition or riposte?
on every single weapon
Stam also only active while its in your hand
Precog
precog for life 
Could be good if the cooldown was shorter.
doesn't shock and awe only make a difference for mixed hordes? still seems like a nice go to choice thou
is it cause more damage is just guarenteed?
How much mobility do you need to gain the last dodge? 80% ? on the crowbar
50
60
even then it would be really awkward to use effectively
Which needler mark has better singletarget
i got 60 but it stayed at 4
identical
Well, yeah, 50
VI
I looked at the base stats for the hive scum class... they really love giving these new classes a 0.5s stamina regen delay... only this one they also gave 2x stamina regen as well :\
what refinements should i put on shiv? like flak and unyielding?
i think explode needler has better crit/weakspot stacking
Mark only affects alt fire pretty much
nothing can go over 80 and for some inexplicable reason the inspect shows stats at 100
Sure, but its free stam when it is in your hand, not like anything else does owt
bro they have 75 base toughness and only 2 toughness nodes on the tree one of which is optional they need it
yeah i know but you cant get the 5th dodge at 80%?
Fair, I just find it funny
Aaah oki tyvm
Then which one has the propagation on special instead of stagger
good ol fake stats
negative
presumably they had plans to add red weapons with stats up to 100 or something like that at one point
Thank
who the hell knows man
hello
fatshark is an enigma
I wish they did lol
60 power is alot but I feel like not enough weapons have enough potential in a single swing to invest in that over something smaller but way more uptime like headtaker
Yeah, I suppose. Maybe 2s cooldown and also have it give 100% strength.
this shit is the worst
Just a thought... Decapitator might be a very strong blessing with Hyperviolence now being a thing
they are using item stats to drive home that we are shitlord nobodies and equipment we consider god tier is basically junk as far as the Imperium is concerned

im assuming whatever the plan was that resulted in the 80 maxes has been abandoned but they dont want to change the weapon code at all lol
the inferno psyker touching every enemy in the horde removing your blessing's damage boost for the entire mission
Is that the one that's power on chained attacks?
well stat changes would also massively fuck the already tenuous weapon balance
I mean there are mods that do it so its not that complex
Ahh is it one of those thats cucked by DoTs? Laaame
it has to be deliberate
I remember the good old days when you had to roll for the blessings too and there was no way to change them lol
I remember when we could only change one perk
Idk hive scum feels underdeveloped. His chem tree doesn't even work, you don't get stimm addict stack with box
decap is finesse bonus on 1 shots
you'd just make 80% 100% and not change any of the actual numbers lmao
up to like 25% that stacks up to 5 times
I think some of the playtesters have said that too
multiply the display %s by 1.25
Likely wanted SCUM to be a december release for crimbo money
decapitator is gonna stay bad until full rework
most weps feel shit into armor thats about my only complaint
โOh man. I donโt like these shivs starting outโฆ they must not be very goodโฆโ
Me returning to them at level 29: โHoly fuckโฆโ
I think i just had the dumbest team imaginable
Sadge, I wasnt aware it had issues with DoTs, but makes sense that it does
I remember when it was huge news that we could change either both perks, both blessings, or one perk and one blessing in an update
THE god weapon
it's not issue with dot
the way the game defines one shot makes decapitator trash
it's issue with literally any & all dmg
The old endgame was grinding currency for RNG weapons lol
it should just be reworked to work like headtaker
I am become lawn mower. Cutter of grass
One of them fall off a ledge, okay, happens. Someone else, trying to get a shortcut down to them, jumps off the SAME ledge. Then someone else, does it AGAIN
kids these days dont know why we have this emote 
3 people died doing the SAME thing
Guess we have to wait for second release where they will completely rework like 2 out of 3 trees and reset our skills again
hm, rashad heavies are all vertical, lights are horizontal
same with antax
they 100% made bank off this update
whats a guy gotta do to get a +3 stamina curio around here goddamn
new cosmetic drop + that one-time bundle for 4k aquilas
I love when everything releases in december at once because of crimbus.
plus new class
Yeah, however it would be less of a problem without DoTs being at play, an tbh, given Hyperviolence is a thing it might carry it even if you miss the odd one shot you'd still be getting juiced damage a lot of the time. But yeah, Psykers exist and the warpfire stick isnt gonna get nerfed any time soon (even though it bloody well should)
with good deluxe cosmetic
i dont think antax gets brumo which is the key for rashad being awesome
Ashes of Creation coming to steam in a week and I can't wait
but yeah i was misremembering it being good for getting lots of heavy kills
I already own Star Citizen so I'm aware of how beta titles like that play out
decap is not enough extra finesse to make the weapon 1 tap important enemies like elites
the deluxe cosmetic is shit
they're off same weapon type, identical blessings
I am also making bank this update (if dopamine was money)
oh i thought it was a tacaxe
it's ok to be wrong in this chat
welp, I'll try the rashad in normal play cuz seems awesome, time to try a heavy sword instead
The reason you take either Antax or Rashad is Special Attack vs Finesse
I prefer the commodore's one myself
Nah he's right
I like the special attack more than finesse
I'm trying to find something to do the heavy attack while stimmed penance
crowbar wasn't it
On its own, no, but if you hit a trash enemy for like 5K damage on Rashad an that it keeps stacking if the damage keeps going up, it would translate to big Hyperviolence procs
THIS IS WHAT WE COULD HAVE HAD, PEOPLE
heavy sword prob
if you want to know why decapitator is bad download the healthbars mod for a game
(though I very much like the crowbar otherwise. Can opener is dope)
the commodore's shop has 1 good cosmetic for hvs and it's the reaper mask
Mk IX horde clears entirely with heavy attacks
+deathblow
That new class sucks HARD !
edgelord
yar, that's next
why can't my hive scum get those bras ๐
No, I understand why its bad, I'm just making a point. It would be less bad if DoTs werent a thing, because of Hyperviolence. But yes, if its cucked by any damage source, it is indeed bad
putting necromunda cosmetics in immediately would certainly be a choice
what do you mean "that new class" this is the hive scum channel
the borderlands vibe is real
A correct one
also scum may actually get new entries in the commodore slop shop
so there's that to look forward to
James Workshop may be less of a BITCH about them
that's like half the reason they made it lol
i hardly touched mortis trials at all, I wonder how the scum does in there
cuz arb skins not getting approved
We can only hope, the premium cosmetics for it at the moment are bad
fuckin' JAMES
hive scum probably does great in mortis if you get crit or fire
It means the Hive Scum class sucks HARD !
Arbites be rotting in casket already with no supply whatsoever
I like some of the masks
or maybe weapon swap if you're desperadoing
i still want more drip for arbite
I'm so out of touch
true, but they came out of the gate with fantastic cosmetics
people be complaining about the cosmetics store
yeah i was saying you sounded like a dipshit who meant to send that in general lol
alot of the premium stuff in the shop for scum is pretty samey, same for the arbite
When there's bigger issues like "please just sell everything at once instead of rotating it randomly"
I can complain about the shop's structure AND its content at the same time
alot of the stuff the other classes get are recolors of stuff that's already been in the shop but at least it looks more different from the base game stuff
it wont change but they did kinda improve the system
fomo shop is awesome i love fomo shop
Ah yes when I'm watching black but my bitch wife wants to watch red
they sell the premium in conjunction with slop...
slopmium
turn off the tv
your evil wife is powered by the sinister waves it receives
with no tv your evil wife becomes your normal wife
maybe you were the evil one actually
I'm incapable of being evil
I even give my subjects rights in CK3
and those are just pixel people
i can't have a wife or son that i hate because i have neither a wife nor a son
She watches blue because she is corrupted by Tzeench
shinji watching LCL orange
foreshadowing...
perks/blessings for the h sword? I haven't used one of these mofos in years
and mk?
get the fuck out of here kairos
the only head piece for the scum I like is the default goggles and maybe the revenant's mask, and all the preimum ones are close to the ones you can unlock
I can't come up with a name for second build
My first one is called "go go gadget daemonhost impregnator kneecap remover" but I can't make up something for hive scum
rampage and deathblow were my go to blessings but I think bladed momentum might be a solid option
time to try and remember to use stim off cooldown
the only premium cosmetic I like
but it can't compete with
HT and deatblow
mk IX is prob better
but mk VI is for chads
I like the scum look:
i never liked any of the mask cosmetics like that, like alot of the psyker ones
all marks are viable
I can't tolerate green hair because I can only see modern rappers
reaper mask is pretty nice
its moveset preference yada yada
psyker slopmasks have a Certain Look to them
yea but mark 7 tho..
FELLOW TRAIN ENJOYER DETECTED
Train is peak
you just hating a fella with style
yeah, the only difference on the marks for the heavy sword is how the heavies and I think some of the special hits work
all the special works the same afaik
hate how you don't have immediate access to the overhead
it's honestly a legit issue
I think one of them has the first heavy be a strikedown but the next one after that keeps chaining vanguard ones until you stop
when you want to one shot mutants for example
Sorry can't hear your sorry goldie ass from my monstrous train
l1 > h2
push attack > h2
flak maniac? I'll be killing armor with the needler
yeah one extra steo
honestly
yeah that's what i run
i think the specials are functionally the same but the swing is different, like the axes
what blessings r good on double barrel?
third barrel
you mean both barrels?
big talk for a fella who buy our drugs
I'm mostly looking for a mark with a brainless horizontal heavy attack chain so I can finish the penance. Gonna probably go back to crowbar or maybe rashad after
for HS that's mk ix
Cleaver
funny how the gangers have this big ass fuck you All Seeing I symbol
just to deter anyone, especially the arbys from shooting them
9 i'm pretty sure is the one that's nothing for horizontal heavies once you get to the second in the chain, but you an just go into training and test them all out
I forgot how much fun Chainsword is.. gonna do Chainsword Rampage for melee I reckon
sure, I could figure it all out on my own eventually, just trying to benefit from the experience of folks that have tried it on scum. Something to babble about
i haven't tried it on scum at all but I knjow its a solid weapon from my time using it on zealot back when it was class exclusive, and I have trouble telling the marks apart on some weapons, I mostly base it on the base model of the weapon but the heavy sword is one I can't tell the difference of since the different is very minute
the moveset
Also, Scum should've had a talent to sprint in every direction
dependency gun scum with the rending stim allows me to kill a crusher in one mag dump
thats
neat
am i correct in assuming that saws clear is just lmb spam
i know the omveset should be slightly different but I don't remember exactly off the top of my, just that one of them has the self chaining cleaving heavies that you have to get pass a strikedown to get
with some shoving
movement is back in darktide
I love omni direcitonal sprinting
push attack > heavy > heavy
i tihnk light-heavy-light-heavy also works for the saw
yeah thats the horde combo i think
thanks
fatshark pretty much tells you all the single and horde combos you need when they release a new weapon
I need people to stop shooting the horde im already meleeing
its just that for some reason they only have it on the blog post version of the patch notes and not on the steam patch notes
I'm sick of being launched backwards
is it a diagonal heavy sweep
That would be horrific
For everyone else
Sprint kiting while fighting back
get ogryn back up in mortis 3 times
go down myself
he doesnt pick me up
goes to his camera he apparently doesnt know you can do anything but light attack
not even a free weekend player they had 80 levels on ogryn
where do these people come from
i rep water cartel because that's the gear they gave me
Trying to farm heavy melee kills on stimms and some triggerhappy bastard keeps launching my ass 50 feet backwards by shooting the explosive horde im killing
DSP was in ya lobby
this game feels like a solo game every time theres a big patch
im testing crowbar horde clear times and the heavy combo is geuinely ass
like way worse than just light spam
wat really?
it's too slow, light spam does the same with less opportunity for the mobs to hit you
dafuq need to test
Must be their new born brother playing or some shit
poor cleave too, i find, though I haven't tested it
once he started getting swamped he pulled out a rumbler and then didnt fire it and died
genius
im getting mixed results but unless they're really clumped up the heavy combo is bad
that's why the heavy melee penance sucks, all the new weapons are better off spamming light
Lmao
2 ragers by default on heavy
hence why I'm here begging for advice lol
on heavy
also blinder regen might be broken in mortis?
i just tried one but i dont think i got any regen
im just spamming shiv heavies since I got to 500 with crowbar and saw ๐คทโโ๏ธ
might be chem toxin betraying me tho
The blinder Regen feels kinda broken overall
I feel like I should be regenning stun nades more than I am
Speaking of Mortis are there any special cards for Scum?
It has one weakness
Toxic dots don't count ๐
yeah its only 20 close range kills which is like one pack of infected
I wish the stims could be used alongside regular stims
i wish we could at least use healing stims off the floor
Not being able to use healing stims is a big downside
whats the best blessings for shredder auto?
if they're dying to toxin it may not trigger
The best blessing is Vraks 5
I wish they changed it so picking up a stim added that stims effect to your scum stim
Yeah that's right krakka craft me my shit. Judgemental fraggin' goldie scum. Make me my damn stimm. I've got an important meeting with rotters (bloodbath) laters so i'm gonna need it. Oops! Took you longer than five minutes. No tip. Fraggin ass
dual autopistols feel super mid
you cant get that on scum
so i would like help with blessings
What blessings and perks are you running
Yes you can
they're not bad, but really emant for desperado
That is the biggest trade off for using cartel stims which I don't mind
Yeah, if you're not running desperado don't run autopistols
desperado autopistols is money
Just use the needler
is the auto pistol just not good?
It's very good
good
what blessings are we using on shivs
Shredder is also good
what blessings are good?
not the best gun ever, but good overall
blaze/pinning
blaze away/pinning fire
That
inspiring barrage/pinning fire
Just damage stack
take your pick
i just got instakilled with my bootleg medkit in havoc 40 from twin's chem bombs
i think not being able to carry them is fair but not being able to use ones on the floor just means you need to get a party member to use it on you then pick their stim back up which seems like bad design
i thought it gave immunity? am i regarded?
I feel like you build your shiv entirely how you would build a knife, I canโt tell any difference between them outside the special
Yeah, blaze away + pinning on hive scum probably. Inspiring barrage is more of a zealot thing imo, if you're extra paranoid >.>
thank you, i just wanted a good auto gun but dont like the dual autos much cause they feel awful to use
I run either riposte and uncanny or switch out uncanny for flesh tearer
It's not good but run 'n' gun and speedload are super fun
dual autopistols speedloader desperado is pretty good imo
lets you just sprint at hordes and minimize time not shooting
would powderburn be better than pinning?
theyre good they just feel bad to me
Youโre not even running the holy trinity. What?
and powder only works on enemies that can be suppressed
what is this movement tech
which is... prob less than half the enemies in the game lol
The what?
The 3 most important perks for a HS
when do we get this weapon fatshark
Which are..?
i like blaze away over pinning fire for dual auto desperado just because i am draining the magazine over and over
Hello Tetoid
Because I have Vulture's Dodge
in essentially every other context pinning is superior
You said shredder
Are you talking about the dual auto pistols?
tbf i don't think you need all three nodes, but having at least tis but a scratch is huge
Not taking burst of energy is super cringe
blaze away feels default on the autos. Some room for preference on the other blessing though
On desperado
I slap on both of those for max dps on mine
no, the Shredder Autopistol, it is the single auto pistol
speedloader is super important for keeping desperado going longer
yeah it's pretty bad in comparison to the other options
Shredder is good
What for? My toughness is not being broken because of Vulture's dodge
On zealot
do you need speedloader for shredder?
no i think shredder reloads pretty fast
You will have moments where it is broken and youโll want it. Are you playing malice or something. 
base reload on dual autos is real slow
I used to use speedloader myself but later dropped it due to not being able to see a big difference in reload speed to me
its twice as fast...
I just finished few games on H30 and I had no troubles
Didn't have any curio options once I hit 8, so I gambled on a random melk curio... got a wound curio, guess this next run will be with +1 wound... :\
Sure
I think they should change it to be two different launchers
