I'm not saying so many should be or that they shoukd have significant effects, but it cant be denied that psykers skill tree has much more impact on how you play than Zealots. if you compare Zealot to a more moderate example, like Scum and Vet and Ogryn, they all have talents that have smaller but notable impacts on your playstyle, whereas Zealot has none. if nothing else, the keystones should change something, which is true for almost every keystone in the game except all 3 of Zealots
i dont think a blue talent should have as much weight as it does
and same goes for so many other blues
and it's not that hard to make both vet and zealot trees better, the current forms are pretty close to perfect
i'm saying its not the type of improvement that will like... actually win or lose you games unless you're in a very specific skill range where the numbers help close a gap and that range will be very narrow
darktide is too messy to get too caught up in the details
because gains get very messy in how reliable they can actually be
relic blade is actually only 5% stagger off from reaching crusher stagger lol
weird cases like that do happen
pretty okay pathing too
i do hope that bottem right pathing gets killed lets be real
that shit is literally not finished
look at it
i hate the bottom right path so much
Saw someone ask for Sunder on relic in general
yes and if you need that then its only a short matter of time until you're past that point, or you're so early in learning you can't make use of it to cross any real gaps... i agree with you that there is value but the game itself gives so much value to player skill that its almost not worth getting so exact about things
that's fair, but some of them doing something adds a lot more flavor. sustained assault has a cool effect on your playstyle where you swap back and forth for damage boosts. super cool skill
they took all the leftover stuff and put it into a branch
This thing is so perfect
this is not a valid argument against trying to make things better
do you mean malefic momentum
sunder can be balanced pretty easily too tbh
sustained assault is literally just +damage in disguise
its hit things for damage
It's literally all toxin related except for a random ass +1 blitz and coherency radius
that's Pyskers, but Vet has one too. pretty sure it's called sustained assult
agile engagement
sample collector isn't entirely toxin
but even some toxin stuff there is kinda just there
it is, i saw vt2 slowly turn into a more boring game (still fun tho) because they never lowered value on player skill but kept giving value to stats. I think that choices in tide games being spikey and encouraging players to not think too hard on all of it makes for a better game overall
the right tree is chem focused
after like a decade of these games
the right tree is a fusion of toxin, chem and whatever else was left
it's kinda confused
those two and sample collector exist so you can get chem dependency without investing into toxin. sure sample collector benefits from toxin, but you dont need the toxin bonus for it to be good
nah this is just your personal bias talking
+75% coherency radious in our lord's year 2025
it's the least confused side tbh
coherency radius is underrated tbh 
left side having hyper critical, weakspot damage, swift endurance and ramping backstabs
so you took it?
so called "gun" tree smh
ramping backstab is so wack too
pretty sure its also FS design intent, they've made compromises more recently by adding in real stats in game but they still aren't up front and center... i've just come to agree with the games intentions on approach
Coherency means nothing without line of sight
no, they just aren't doing a good enough job at it
this guy gets it. the gun side is the confused side
your interpretation does not equate to fact
Left tree is more the crit tree than the gun tree
I prefer shooty shooty pew pew desperado with twin stubb pistols, vulture's and boom bringer with lots of crits
neither does mine, but I'm not the one arguing against trying to make things better
It's fun as hell
i'm not going to pretend to be a game design pro but i was trained and close enough to the industry before bailing to see there is intent in those things
I tend to if I'm next to it already. especially on Psyker though since the cdr from earlier in the tree is shared. Scum's are less important to share though
I took scratch summer classes when I was 7 I think I outrank both of you ngl
nah, it just simply is them not doing a good enough job at it
Is crit stub pistols the meta? Idk, nor do I really care as it's funny to spam dodges and get an ungodlu amount of lead to inject enemiez with
I think stub pistols are considered scums worst ranged weapon xd
I made it work well tbh
i don't think stub pistols are anywhere close to meta
I consider anyone who says that dumb and stupid and smelly
for any hivescum build
they're very very mid
Idk, I got a build that gets good value.
but they can be fun
a tiny damage bump and baked in run n gun is all they need imo
You need to worship crits and crucian roulette + run and gun
Like bad mid or average mid
i'd rather use dual smg at that point
for actual damage
Idk my funny pew pew does plenty of damage
i tried shredder and it's pretty cool too despite being obviously worse
Dual stubs have hellbore degrees of hipfire autoaim
Do get the funny instakill crits for the guys and crucian for real fun
hypercrit only works for melee
I like the stub pistols as a special sniping secondary on an otherwise melee build. has enough range and damage for quick single kills, while having an ammo economy about it. not the best for it, but does the job well
I saw it work with guns though..
ammo economy?
works for guns too
in this pickpocket?
they changed it??
I did say a melee build 
no
i dont recall them changing it
it doesn't work for guns
it should be melee only
It doesnt????
it is melee only
yes it doesnt
Lemme test that thesis
NEVER did
I wonder how busted as fuck it would be if it did work on guns
I did it with the combat shotgun slug round
Regardless the build I have is fun
you did not bro
hyperviolence stacks on ranged, procs on melee only but in practice that's almost useless
Revolver
IAG one shotting literally everything on a crit
its literally coded to be melee only
but hypercritical no
you can just test it, it's very easy
this is what it looks like
probably not mucch since the best ranged weapons fire so fast their damage per shot just isnt that high
If's brainless af how I play my build.. but it's fun
56 kills per mag with vraks V inf auto
they should make hyperviolence work on and for ranged attacks
Imma get a clip of my hoohoo haha build
assuming its doing enough damage to actually proc it
and i can only assume its doing that against groaners
yea it does over 800 per crit with enuf buffs
1 tap flamer if hypercrit worked
what??
1 tap all shotgunners
r u sure
yea
it also just doesn't work on anything with a ranged attack, i tried on a poxwalker
yea FS tooltip been bad
can't ranged weapons have critical strike? or is it called something else
bro you need to read the messages you're replying to more often 
oh you meant the "strike" part. I've never noticed that distinction. granted, usually critical effects inpact both melee and ranged unless explicitly stated to not
yeah strike usually means hit, not shoot
if someone said "strike them with the gun" you wouldn't think to shoot them usually
okay turns out I was wrong about hyper critical with ranged after all. I had claimed that because I was able to one shot a plasma gunner with combat shotgun slug round with hyper critical but could not without it with the build I had tested it with. whatever the reason ut happened then, it didnt happen this time 
yeah but it didnt one shot with the omly difference being hyper critical or not 
probably hitbox shenanigans or something else
nah I was shooting chest
possible 
it's okay, everyone makes mistakes, thank you for testing and letting us know. Here enjoy some gorl snacking
I hadnt tried it many times, just enough to be confident I couldnt one shot on a crit and then used hyper critical and saw if it one shot or not. didnt really try again
I have finally taken the agri combat pill
It is the shit
Except for the reload but thats mostly fine
Weapon spec carries
tbh I'm using the one with the stagger shot
base shot didnt feel strong enough, and the fire one felt like it had too much spread. the other one hits just right for me though 
also only like it on Scum. always feels good, but runs out of ammo too fast. pickpocket carries tho
https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/lLp8orQ4HTK0Xgs7u?invite=cr-MSxoQU8sNDYxODYxMDcy&v=94 This is the build I got
Watch Untitled by eleanoire and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal. #warhammer40000darktide
I am testing in the psykanium atm, but I've used in Auric and I've had plenty of fun and killing with it
The reject can have a little bit of corruption as a treat
Struggles a bit at long ranges, but that's what the rockets and my team is for
What is best braced auto?
fastest or the slowest
And inf auto again?
Is my build exactly the most efficient? Probably not, but I have fun with it and like dodge spamming and firing at enemies.
I'm doing funmaxxing

my favorite feeling one is I think the brown one. the one with the middle fire rate. Vraks is nice for desperado though since it dumps fast enough to get more reloads off
I tried em all and the shredder so far i like the braced the most i think.
Yeah i feel like higher rof is better for desperado
Embraced Autogun 
Infantry autogun fucking slaps on scummer
closest I will get to playing an orkboy
With never ending dakka
Even the shredder autopistol slaps with desperado lol
Shredder autopistols sound cool and nothing beats a crackhead with silenced uzis
I did run them since release of meth addict
Just no carapace killing
But time for change
agri brauto is pretty good with desp
Been feeling like the crowbar is a bit underperforming am I crazy?
Pistols were fun too
my only problem with autogun on scum is that it's just point and fire. if you take the whole ranged tree, it's pretty braindead to me. so I skip the ranged keystone section and pop over to chem dependency, using desperado as my only source of infinite ammo 
it's not underperforming, it ||outright sucks||
No youre not
Although I am trained in pleasing ladies and didn’t have issues with finger being numb so
Idk meth addict is great
Crowbar isnt exactly impressive, but it's solid. it does the job 
Anyone try combat shotgun or smth with the despacito yet?
despacito
Thats what its called 
I like combat shotgun with pickpocket but not desperado. desperado gives free reloads which is great for it, but the downtime of the ability is high enough to feel like I'm not using the gun enough, plus the reload is too slow to really keep the ability going for a while. it feels good with depression, but leaves uptime to be desired without pickpocket, so I run the other two abilities with it and spec into pickpocket
When i have pickpocket i just never stop shooting lol
The penance with tghns regen on stimm crate takes forever by the way goddamn
Its the last one left for me.
And i want that goddamn iron skull
Reckon there's anymore classes comin' after the scum?*
Yeah its really stupid and just shows me how useless it is
reasonable lol. I dont really either except for anti armor, which is why I use the shivs, rampage, and rpg with it. makes for an actually really nice hybrid playstyle
sorry, typed the wrong word, meant to type scum
I think we still might get a new class, but tbh it might take a super long time
arby technically is, failing the lex by not reigning in the situation before and having to atone now
Like a year maybe
skitari comin after the holiday break probs
reckon since we have a rogue trader on the mourning star, we might get a class that isn't necessarily human?
Ah yes the yearly 6 month holiday break
Bcz I don't imagine the game would be too alive at the 5 year mark
rogue traders don't recruit armies of xenos
Then again vt got necromancer after a billion years
they recruit xenos though
Vermintide is still holding on so i have hope
they recruit singular xenos
xenos mercenaries even.
they have been cooking up new classes at a decent clip recently, and if we get new missions too thats bonus
i doubt they are going to add orks or kroots as a class
pfft imagine ork freebotah as a playable class, ogryn adjacent size

much as i'd love to see some freebootas, and kroots, i was mainly thinkin' those eldar that run off to be mercs.
never going to happen but still funny to think about
Ye I mentioned that vt got necromancer after a long time of sienna not having any dlc class, but there's a huge difference
VT isn't forced online
Its not but it is
It's p2p so there's only very small server costs
You can play dt solo too
ey, what about gretchen freeboota?
eldar running special ops into atoma secundus to prevent the full on warp incursion
Meanwhile in DT you are forced to use their servers for multiplayer
Which isn't needed in vt
i'd love eldar weapons but i don't think fatshark is going to add classes that can't use the generalist/recycled weapons
True but then someone with a wood computer hosts and the fun is over
what about Ogryn TWO
hadron def working in the dark on something mechanicus related to the dark age of technology side of tertium too, big time secrets
gretchen freeboota?
is that a mercenary gnobblar
Looks like nosh to me
or whatever they call the goblins in 40k
space marine trainee maybe
True, but that's the only reason the game is still up till now (also fatshark servers aren't much better than that lmao)
gretchen
not fully modded, but undergoing trial
too small
all I really want for a new class is another Ogryn class, just so Ogryn weapons and animations can get some love and reuse 
feel though if anything, maybe some beastmen?
beastmen wouldn't really have anything new would they
Dont you dare even speak about those
reskinned minotaur inc
there are still non-chaos affiliated beastmen that i'm sure still see employment from rogue traders.
Ewwww
cause beastmen in 40k did start out on the side of the imperium til' the inquisition decided it wasn't purging enough things.
could be a full melee class, maybe.
not any worse than psykers
yours maybe
least these furries ain't that uwu crap
men of iron enemy faction
they're a buncha' farm animals given bloodlust, not hyper sexualized or infanticized.
everything is carapace!
Leaked beastmen gameplay
AAAAAA
i'm just sayin' for furries, beastmen at least ain't as cringe as furries in real life.
Furries deserve my fear and respect, anybody who chooses to walk around in those suits in blistering ass weather and do tricks and shit...
Well.. yeah... I gotta respect that endurance.
Remember that the upper end of medical, engineering, and software dev is like 95% furries
they're big, they're ugly, they're fierce, and the imperium technically does have its own daemons like a living saint and the like.
Also from my own experience I find the antifurries far outweigh furries in terms of cringe, I'd rather be in a room with 10 furries than a single one of those edgy fucks.
Probably somehow smells less too 💀
Correct
Do note however that edgy anti furry 13 year old is a pre evolution to extremely gay adult
eh, i dunno, see way too many of those UWU types. though i guess i can't say they're all like that, got a friend whose a furry and he ain't that cringe.
I see the furry "community" as less a community and more some bigass subgenre that is found without different niche cultures.
isn't there also like a sub-group that wears red arm bands unironicly?
The drugs is where the endurance comes from
bafflingly hilarious too.
You can find nazis anywhere if you look hard enough
Being a furry and a Neo is such a weird juxtaposition.
KEK
pretty sure those guys worm their way into everything and are almost universally despised
Femboy nazi is a horrifyingly existent cross section
Accurate... I've seen too many Neo femboys or those who are obviously somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum whether they admit it or not out there.. though the ones that are are usually hyper closeted.
Yeah...
Its probably 90% self hate that needs a target
what are we gonna do in the gas chamber adolf?
And 10% needing to find a group to identify with
also 
There was in fact a project (that wasn't deployed) to spike his food to slowly feminize him and make him less violent
The british were really throwing everything at the wall
Just normal 3 am Darktide convos
they like to do a little trolling in bermingham.
If you suffer from living in B*rmingham you're likely to be a bit loony
Perhaps even being a bit of a ... jonkler...
speakin' of trolls actually, i'm surprised actually that there doesn't seem to be any equivalent of such a think in 40k.
Slaanesh
no actual trolls.
no, i mean literal trolls.

I think that archetype of creature just falls under certain daemons
even though trolls in fantasy wern't really even daemons, but mutants or something like that?
They were just trolls
either way, IS there even any troll equivalent in 40k? like some kinda xenos known for regenerating flesh quick, and being a big dumb monster with a big stick?
oh yeah, reckon ambulls might ever get added as an enemy type some day?
like an ogryn?
do ogryns have inherent regen?
cause i'm pretty sure ogryn are the ogre equivalent, not made through chaos radiation, more of a thing that happened on a high grav prison planet.
Trolls are dumber than ogres too
Trolls aren't made through chaos either
I think very old editions had some trolls in chaos armies
Relics from warhammer fantasy
Am I crazy or is Hive Scum penances insanely quicker than Arbites.
they localized 100% of the penance grind time into Enhanced
They are just all quite natural to complete and you dont have to go out pf your way too much
Unlike all the other classes lol
Hivescum will prolly br the first class where i actually just get them all by playing normally.
I wanna try and run Brauto on Scum, which build and mark should I go for?
All pretty good. Imo high rof to empty as many mags as possible before despacito ends
I liked graia and agri
Also liked inf auto and shredder
Comparable to TwinAutopistols?
no ammo used in mortis trials on zarona pretty fun :d
Can be done with Fanvolver?
probably but not having to reload on zarona is a bit stronger i think
You go vraks & hipfire everytime - turns out worst bruhauto is best on HS
Graia is nice too but braced mode takes time bracing too much… while having same firerate as vraks while hipfiring in conjunction with worse dmg & stagger
Argi is the worst due to 1 thing; firerate - after testing agri performed the worst, then graia then vraks
they gotta buff those braced guns man
What is it with havoc teams hating hivescum especially when they have a build that completely negates corruption (which includes damage from dog and chaos spawn grabs) for the entire team, have grenades that clear hoards or deletes groups of armor, have a guns that functionally have infinite ammo even without the shooting ability, and one particular gun that kills everything in 2-4 shots?
Youtube man said hive scum bad
they heard hive scum weak + no gold toughness

like if I had the choice between a stimbox hivescum or a zealot for a blight mission I will take the hivescum for my team every time just because immunity is better than slowly healing
not to mention the box also heals corruption
Hive scum is kinda better zealot lol
and 50% cdr from crate better than support zealot provides, ppl just hate scum for no reason
or giga crits for the whole team too
like the options are massive
the only bad option is the toughness one
and only because it only effects coherency regen
well the cd branch increases uptime for yourself too so you can actually have the crate up, dont rly like speed + str
so im just doing cdr + str
if Fatshark changes the toughness stim brantch to just buff all toughness gains/regen then it would instantly become a good choice for havoc stuff
fun thing about the tougness branch is that one of the 2 final ones is just straight up worse than the travel nodes
yep
but imagine if it buffed the entire teams toughness gains by 80-100%
that'd be great
yea would be nice
but i feel like the toughness branch in general is like super unfinished
other branches have all 3 choices of actually somewhat useful stuff
this has 2 and both useless
the most useful thing about it is the DR and if you really want to invest into it, the instant 50% toughness gain
but that's so little
but if it gave like gold toughness alongside the 16% DR that would be pretty good I think
That’d be too much
well I'm just going off the numbers already on the branch
if the regeneration were all toughness replenishment (or whatever is the generic stat) and then one of the final nodes was regen and other idk, something useful, would be nice
If it was replenishment it needs to get cut by half minimum
It should yea
but my point is the toughness should be actively gained rather than only via coherency
Monkey's paw: broken dodges for all non ogryns but stim box still gets glued to hands at the worst time until they get back from vacation
Oh ik it’s not getting fixed for a while
it really is always the worst of times too
if the patch is not coming today (it won't), there will be no more patches this year
Shouldn’t be
It’ll prob be next year
They alrdy finished the enforcer stuff for next shop rotation at end of year
they can't vault?
nooo!
it was a window
Not well
Oh they can vault. It’s just been broken for 2+ years 
You basically need to approach any railings at a ~45 degree angle to vault over them
might aswell say it's not a thing atp
But it is a thing; it’s just very inconsistent and broken
yeah let me just twist my arms at a 80° angle and spin in circle three times in a row to do this very basic thing
the angle only makes it more consistent
and everyone suffers from this, the vaulting system is just dog
ogryn is just more affected
literally fine on all humans
look at ledge prss vault
they really need to work on ogryn vault cuz it's very important to vault in dt
Thats the point
Humans
Ogryn ain’t human; its abhuman

Vaulting is great, especially when you launch yourself 30 meters
Cause have big abs.
Is there much reason to use the chem toxin shots with the Needle Pistol? Seems like the explosive shots are basically as good
Little did he know the game was primarily build for humans sizes in mind
Smh 
the explosive shots are very, very bad
if you use the bad mark (the one with the explosive shot), you want to stick to the toxin shot only as it applies thrice the amount of toxin stacks compared to the explosive shots
the AOE of the explosive shot is very weak so you should probably never use it
as long as there's infinite ammo, it's good for horde/mixed horde
it isn't
it is
it does 50 damage at best
It seemed like it was only applying 1 stack less in the meat grinder
if you hit an enemy with like 8 shots before
the stacks are in the pinned comment in this channel
the aoe has tiny explosion radius and does pratically no damage
i suggest using the version with the toxin aoe if you want to shoot into crowds
Is the one stack from toxin aoe going to make any actual difference?
it kills chaff pretty well
Fair enough
holy shit
I thought vaulting with ogryn wasn't a thing
does certainly more damage than the puny explosion
Sure, but it's very safe to just shoot a few darts into the horde and some of it may explode/be thinned enough to tackle with something else
the point of the explosion is to apply 1 stack in AoE to refresh/add
no
that's the other mark
what mark is he talking about
how can I tell which one he is talking about even
on death, the enemy explodes damaging near enemies
Mk6, actually 🤓
I think the point of the mk7 is for staggering
but there's other better options for that
lol
it's a very small explosion radius and it doesn't stagger much
yes
it's ok against hordes
I'm running it on a rampage dependence build
because it spread toxin
Mk2 has the "good" alternative fire mode, yeah
he didn't specify the mark
And I kinda feel like I'd rather just blender them down
it's not a lot but it beyter
only one actually explodes enemies
well, whatever - we got that cleared up.
Also, dual autos vs vraks IAG (or another IAG if you prefer) for desperado vulture?
it's ok once in a while
I guess always yellow shots for elites on needle
Either works. Either you have better brace-fire weapon (Dual auto) or better range via ADS (Vraks IAG)
And you'd definitely favour the Vraks of the 3 IAGs?
It seems like the qualities that Vraks has over the other two are even more favoured on Scum
It has the best crit strings, ammo capacity, mobility and reload speed; so yeah, on these merits I would
You want crits on Scum/for Vulture's mark and just for an universal damage increase across all armour classes.
Groovy, just giving me some directions for when I next try tweaking this
Still not sure between middle or right keystone for generic melee shivs/needle build
Middle seems purpose built for shivs
But right is generically awesome, plus crit boost
I dislike Dependancy but it's not a bad keystone
Feels like right was built for bonesaw
Oh hey, it's the same version of DS4 that the balancing team uses
The entire right-bottom, right-most branch seems as if it were done with the bonesaw in mind 💀
Im back with another shower thought talent idea that could have been something if darktide had reasonable update turnarounds
Crits-give-toxin help for shivs there at least
But for spammy weapons, shivs still seem to 1-shot trash too much for chem synergy to really trigger idk?
Especially when in rampage
When using a stim, gain .3% toughness replenishment for every point of viscosity spent in the stim lab, and .3% revive speed for every point unspent.
The combined total of both effects caps at 30%, and resets on death.
Toughness replenishment, as in, not toughness regen in coherency? 
what's the purpose of it being on use and resetting this buff if it doesn't have a real duration
flavor?
I was jesting but fair, it does say what it is on the lid
Yeah, and also potentially punishing mistakes
So its not just a build up for the first few minutes of a mission and then just flat buffs for the rest of it
can your stimm be on cooldown when you get revived
I dont recall it being on cd when youre rezzed
oh I didn't quite understand, so you can stack it
Yeah
Its just flat small buffs that build up over the mission
And theyre the lesser used ones
And its explicitly tied to the viscosity of your stim, so now theres an additional layer beyond high effect high cd/low effect low cd
The toughness replenishment part seems a bit too easy to stack overall
unironcially res speed kinda nice on scum, since down time can mean death
Theres just too little done with the stim
drug class, looks inside 1 talent to use drugs more
res speed is good on anything tbh'
I use rev speed on scum in place of stam regen on my standardized curio setup
And its really nice
it is "banking on failture" but it will save runs
With the revive speed changes its not necessarily banking on that anymore
You can literally unnet some so fast you can do it mid slide
fair, I just notice myself getting stopped or having to stop while ressing a lot on Scum
It only takes 1 knockback to ledge someone too
Like sure you could consider some downs "banking on failure" but other times shit just happens
I just got yoinked into twins when queing damnation quickplay, I'm sorry to everyone whom I said had skill issue for not being able to play this class, damn
I was unfamiliar with your suffering
I think the last game I played was on hab dreyko and I was doing mid event scans on scum in the center hab room on the top floor
Turn around cuz I hear a burster and theres 4 crushers entering the room
Oh and theres another burster coming from the other direction at the same time that just didnt make enough noise cuz of the first one
I literally cant avoid that one with the wall of armor in front of me so I get bursted by it, and during the knockback instance I couldn't block so I got hit full force by one of the crusher side swipes
Down in literally 2 seconds and from the moment the situation was even able to be noticed, it wasnt able to be avoided
Sometimes it just happens
My point with that is the same can happen to your teammates
Even if theyre playing well shit can just happen
And thats where revive speed where you can fit it can excel
Good good but…
Like stimms need any more power than they already have

Scums stims are just a mess
Its not hard
Its ppl being dumb & bad & not taking certain key talents
Just like with every class really
tbf I was using stimm supply, but like still, damn
After a couple of half invested stims, youd have a solid 15% revive speed and 15% replenishment
Not game changing, but pretty comfy for a blue talent
felt like I was playing coughing baby
certainly makes more sense as a talent then coherency radius
Dude the cracks are so large right now
Exacly
Whats with
devs & coherency related talents? Do they play their game?
Well… they did… and quit cause ppl were calling out bs
Idk how its intact or how people havent pointed out that they are cracks

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't, thats expected from every studio, but they pay playtesters, do they not listen to them?
Karkers!?
stimmed/alchemist needs to eb done in one block or no?
I remember when ppl called arrowhead out for not playing helldivers due to their horrible balancing decisions and they showed off them playing and horribly losing a diff 3 mission, funniest shit ever
Seems not so much + i watched some playtesters play… they’re good but… not impressive (especially with some takes that obv could be better)
forget playing their game, ppl out here developing games while having never played any game lol
have we ever seen a fat shark dev play
aren't some of the playtesters h40 players from this server?
i've been matched with one before
been a very long time though
For contrast; Pablo from Warframe actively plays the game he patches & developes in terms of changes & buff & nerfs and GUESS WHAT; community loves him
Cause he knows where to tinker & what to do & does not suck at the game he plays
Yuh
We lost mats to poodivers 
I'd say thats good enough to give an opinion on coherency radius lol
meaning they do ignore them
The response to our feedback of that talent was increasing it to 75%
Their loss of face; you can’t fix tarnished reputation
It was fking less?!
Lmao

150% coherency radius
It would still not be taken 
i don't think any value would make people take that node
until coherency regen doesn't get shut off so easily no it wouldn;t
Cause its vs;
1+ blitz
Toxin on crits
Feedback was "bro get rid of it" and "if you really want a coherency node, give it some of born leaders effect too"
Born leader change was pog ngl
Born leader toughness share would kinda go crazy on scum
He shits out a fair amount of toughness
Its the lower dr giving that toughness lower value that makes squishier
Melee one especially
A ranged VM scum can replenish 30% toughness on elite kill, 15% of that already being shared
Pablo my beloved
And the fact you have to invest into HP if you go havoc or you get 1 shot by bursters
Except for the Chinese community review bombing the game with the damage attenuation changes
Vet does too
But yeah lmao
well ok then
Psyker too; same 98 hp limbo
The Chinese community lf every game review bombs anything if its not a buff
Oh the recent recent ones?
I see the problem, stimm supply
Looks like latency
literally just fine 2 games ago
It makes it so your existence isn't entirely reliant on armour strip, other things work in higher levels
They just saw change and squealed in the corner
I know what happened
You staggered it to the point that the animation did not play but the attack was in motion
Extremelly rare to happen in this game
Also is that fking rotten armour in havoc?!
Its on now?!
Yes but after HS got added the havoc got reset; is RA back in havoc?
yes
heard it applies to melee now too
Rotten armour 
whoever thought that rotten armor need to be worse in havoc need to get shot
At least there is no healing
rotten stim:
Pre nerf healing + rotten armour + pre nerf blue stim 
What’s rotten armor again
Is it just basically they leave behind toxic clouds when they die
No because I literally lost 2 games yesterday because my teammates dodged crusher overheads onto me
why you walking into hammers
xD
why the server so ass now
the hampster is on christmas vacation
oh it default to the fucking eu server for reason
apparently because there 0ms of latency
here the gorls will power the server
The wheel going backwards must be why my dodges get refunded so often
They also get 80% damage res which decreases the lower their hp gets
*75%
Same pain
chat is this real?
Perchance
Imposter; chocoB already posted numerous HS vids with maxed out character
This boi is 29
amogus...
Either ChocoB got bored and for whatever reason decided to go 1 - 30 challenge or imposter/fanboi
No other way around
really fucking weird to impersonate a darktide player of all ppl lol
Vermintide player

Ok yeah definitely an imposter, I said hf to their gl and they thought I was insulting them lol
Hive fum
They replied "hf selbst" so I assume hf means something mean in german?
oh well at least it was a clean twins fight
Ye he dogshit

Are you able to tell what seed you're gonna get? Is so fucking annoying when I'm prepped for gunner seed and it gives me carapace hordes
I SWITCH TO AN ANTI CARAPACE BUILD AND THEN IT GIVES ME A GUNNER SEED
@main trellis Rotten Armour is back?
I fucking love driver nephi
@vernal sluice I have no idea what "hf" would be an abbreviation for in german that is supposed to be mean. Its more likely that he meant something like "hf you too" since "selbst" can be translated to "yourself".
I understand, thing is they absolutely assumed I was insulting them because when I asked them wdym in response, and spelled out 'have fun' they said 'oh I thought you meant the other word' which is why I wanted to ask here about it
Mhmhm
"an other" should be "another" so it would be any other word and not a specific one
But what do i know.
@vernal sluice Tread Lightlies are the real deal.
For Lady Steel! And for repping the hazard stripes look.
tread lightlies my beloved
Ah right.
But if you flip WC and Show i bet thats right
Probably because its the default option and most people wouldn't care really would they.
yeah
Its actually not
Truely?
Animal Gang here, I would like to say:
Water cartel is the lowest option on the list
The Iron Riders are too edgy
WC is both recognizable as a preexisting entity in the game plus the white on purple is a very appealing color combo
Yeah
From what I've personally seen iron riders seem to be the least picked
That's the reason
Ive only seen a few people talk about em
so yeah, I'm also guessing Water Cartel > The Show > Tread Lightlies > Iron Riders
I think Tread Lightlies are the default gang?
I can make a new ganger when coffee is done brewing to check but ik it isnt WC
It's so cool, dark and badass that people thought that if they picked them they would get shamed
Oh I thought The Show was named "The Animals"
Iron Riders are just speed freaks that have a chance to expire prematurely which is as high as the speed of the trains they are riding.
Water Cartel cosmetics are also easier to unlock.
I doubt that played a part in it.
Dude you don't need to be from Water Cartel to use their cosmetics
People didn't know that picking their gang
Because even tho you are from one Cartel, does not mean you are restricted to just use those cosmetics.
And they probably did not know that to begin with, as Tongs said.
Tbh I picked WC because of the preset lore and liking them on Munda
The scheme is a bonus
I picked The Show because my ganger is called "Doctor Needles"
Wearing another cartel's cosmetics? Heresy.
The Show probably has all those wannabe egdy people who think they are creative or funny.
I like the show scheme tbh
If you don't use tattoos of your gang then there's literally no sign of what gang you are from
I use the non gang affiliated tattoo that still looks water cartelesque
Has the mourninstar on your back and the waves on your sides/stomach
Remember when people used to complain that Hive Ganger would just be Veteran but criminal?
Same was said for Arbitrator
A lot of Veterans are criminals tho... 
Mine is
Exactly
They simply have survived long enough to not be scum anymore.
My vet is a conscripted hive urchin
Schola Runaway.
Don't use the gang tattoos because they include the face and I want to customise that separately.
I don't remember the lore of my vet, but I remember the lore of my Ogryn, in which he was a miner his whole life until he said "you know what? Fuck this shit" and joined the Imperium army before going to jail for missing on duty
Yup, full body gang tattoos will override face tattoos
@unique spire So instead of mining ore he's mining heretic skulls?
Yeah
I even got like, furnace worker cosmetic for them
I think before I swapped voices i mine was a miner too
My ogryn got so much voice changes that he now got lobotomy
Apparently so
Ive only seen
Iirc 3 people in this discord and like 2 outside of it talk about em/wear their cosmetics
Anecdotal tho
I use one of the Iron Rider legs, but that is because it is very much not noticeable that they are Iron Rider legs.
And yes, that's the point.
Water Cartel drip is immaculate
@limber cradle Alright they are actually from the Water Cartel, not even Iron Riders 
Good decision
Iron Riders didn't look like what i wanted
Red and black is a pretty overplayed color scheme when it comes to videogames tbh
I think I'm going to tune a scum build just to do rotten armor btw
Id wear these pants irl ngl
I like that Rotten Armour is back
Personally I associate it with the disposable "these guys are evil SHOOT THEM NOW" mooks look
I don't
yeah and they made it fucking worse
I personally am infuriated we went from one season of rotten armor to blight spreads to blight spreads+rotten armor
turn literally every havoc game into a slog
How did they make it worse in your opinion?
Incentivizes dot and aoe spam now
red and black is just broken colorscheme, needs to get nerfed ngl
I agree tbh
Red and black is the color scheme of my edgy 14 year old self before I started to enjoy actual schemes
@unreal stirrup Sounds amazing.
I remember reading somewhere that apparently a psychological study was done about this and the color scheme is subconsciously associated with aggression and a 'no quarter' attitude which is why no modern armed force would ever employ a color scheme like that
I'm very curious to see what you come up with, it does seem like consistent carapace damage is a challenge for scum
Especially ranged / desperado scum
Yeah I think that's probably the way
Rampage/Needler/Boosts to uhhhh
Rockets
Rocket with +1 use and Tox
Tox on melees
carapace damage is only problem for ranged scum so thats ez solution :d
Probably shivs?
Tox melee goes nuts
Shivs are good into cara and tox is tox
It's so low effort, teams will just fucking name themselves the Redblacks and see nothing wrong with that
https://www.ottawaredblacks.com/
shivs and knife murders carapace
blud using mouse with battery
Wireless mice op
don't have to drag the stupid cord when aiming
have a large desk smh
I thought of getting a wireless for some time to consider the less wiring around my desktop
But ended up getting the LG G502
pooping rn ama
I have a g502x lightspeed
why is that shit over 120€ 
Could not tell you
cause people pay it 
Pretty typical price for a higher end gaming mouse tbh
i love rotten armor!!!!
Is the plasma gun ineffective against them?
melee and ranged
Plasma is kinda bad into cara anyway, let alone with rot armor
rotten armor used to only have ranged dr
what is that sound lmao
Iirc that bitch takes 4 shots to kill 1 crusher without modifiers
That's silly that's the whole point of the gun in the lore lmao
A pool noodle hitting the side of the pool
not having krak is hell
thats the most accurate thing you could say
fwop
I mean just look at it
krak propaganda
Youre in scum chat man
You don't need to convince anyone to try crack
Im ngl that looks like chem nade prop
whats this mod even about that i keep seeing in some peopel 
Nerf veteran 
Ogryn all over again
is dumped stability any good on bolt pistol i feel like the talent tree gives a bunch of stability and scum loves mobility
skitarius
what does it even do
you can configure it so it does combos for you
or just remapping what left click does, so you can just hold down left click for light attack spam etc
reeeee it's literally playing the game for you reeeeee
Exactly.
Dump collateral
Spread:
No
Yes
You can't control what angle the game decides to shoot the bullet at
Thank you
Just shoot it very close
Duh
Had my first "okay yeah this class is silly" moment yesterday. Was a havoc 34, relay station, huge area that is after the drop down after first event.
2 teamies go down. Just me and another scum, both with about 10hp left. Had a Captain, 2 monsters and got knows how many elites and specials. He was on rampage and I was on box, both shivs/NP.
We dodge kited around the area for about 7m and managed to kill absolutely everything, after a bit I broke off and ascended the entire building complex, stopped a ritual and rescue both team mates with my tox bombs while the other guy cleared up.
Nimble and jittery together atm feel absolutely ridiculous
With shivs, you are just anime teleporting about lol
First every Darktide imagine to make me laugh
Every?
Ever
Imagine????
Fuck
Image
been running boxscum a lot on havoc and just got a question. its a dependency boxcutter build but i have a choice between pickpocket + ruthian aura + 3 dependency, or 4 dependency, gunslinger improved aura without pickpocket
from my experience i dont seem to run dry with gunslinger improved but ofc i could be spamming it more with pickpocket in the build
I’d do 4 dependency with pickpocket 
Stim crate gives you a stack of dependency so it’s easy to upkeep stacks in comparison to other builds
yeah ik
i mean
other builds don't have a problem keeping the stacks either
just have to remember to press the stim button
atp id have to drop either jittery, float like a butterfly, coated weaponry (too vital in this build to drop), battering strikes, hive city brawler (hell no thats free 20% tdr) or punching above ones weight (considered this tbh)
god rykens instgib build is so fun
Why do you need coated weaponry?
getting that double onshot on elites is peak
its a box cutter crit build its very nice and drops my stim cd very quickly
its just a bit annoying cus punching above ones weight affects DOT damage
so im losing 15% DOT damage which kinda blows
maybe float like a butterfly? but man thats such a good node too 😭
mfw too much cake
i just run this for crate build atm
even though i was very sad that i had to drop jittery and i did not rly wanted to
I think I’d have to see the actual build to have more input ngl. Coated weaponry is probably the easiest to drop if you’re running chem nades or pocket toxin blinders 
i had to ween off jittery bc it was messing me up on other classes
i would never drop coated
yea
refresh on stacks is op
i think imma drop it down to 3 dependency
and so is double sample collctor
i lose like 300 dps on syringe pistol crusher kills if i drop elite 15%
because of the hivescum ive been itching to play one in a rougetrader ttrpg
which feels kinda bad
or maybe just dropping float like a butterfly
i mean dependency will always be there and dodge triggers are jank
You could drop the slide melee dodge node. 
whats your setup atm urely you can drop something else
and my ass isnt dropping swift endurance
no way
id use the one i made for darktide but with some extended backstory stuff, like the fella having a pet cyber chimp ( not a jokaero) who pick pockets people
slider 🫵
if you take slippery customer and regained posture you can do some silly things while carrying stuff
That’s true it’s only like 3 seconds and you’re not getting free procs since you’re not running desperado 
i have dodge and crouch bound to same button, 10/10 fun
yeah seems like the node doing the least here
and i am absolutely NOT dropping jittery
nah you dont even need regained posture for that
scum has enough stam regen where you dont lose stam even when carrying stuffwhile spam sliding
Plus if you’re using needle pistol for the big enemies, your melee is probably already handling everything else easily
you are stamina positive if you slide while carring batteries
while keeping full momentum
kinda crazy
yea
yeah needle is rlly just there for crusher ttk since box cutters melt everything including monsters and captain but just cant kill a crusher to save their own life lmao
and cus its needle
regained posture only good for stripped down memes but even that isnt very useful as you can run then spam slide a bit to regain stam and run again
yeah i dont abuse stripped down enough and im almost always at max stamina in melee cus not push attack reliant
as an aside i can no longer not take boom bringer, as a back up "oh shit my team is in fact cheeks" get out of jail free card
Is + finesse for stims just crit and weakspot damage?
i switch between chem nade and rpg
i like chem more, but rocket has saved runs that were spiraling
so does chem, i mostly decide based on team
like if i have vet with kraks i just dont bother with rpg
since i qp almost exclusively i have to assume that even if i get vets with krak their brain is too smooth to be make good use of them
unrelated but a got a 145 streak off a single rocket and that amuses me
What perks and blessings should I be running on a Needle pistol to compliment an angry women with her crowbar?
i run this
the perks are fairly flexible as it just uses active weapon perks anyway, but i like flak and unyielding
I am mainly using it to like, dome snipers I see while I am aggresively crushing peoples skulls in
on the instagib build i swapped to ranged crit on melee kill specifically to build stacks on armor and bosses
as my crit bounces from 41 to 81
so it's entirely possible that while under the stim i get a single kill and have 100% crit
i just shoot one more time and dont worry much about maximizing the stacks per shot
Crowbar my beloved <3
as 6 stacks murder anything i actually need to one tap anyway already
I love beating people to death with a crowbar
i feel i am forever getting the emperors most braindead and have to optimize damage so my team doest wipe to a plague ogryn
I am too busy sniffing my stimms
even though run'n'gun is arguably not super important so def kinda flexible, i rly like it for blue mode tho very fun
(My scums name is Stimmsniffer)
and if you actually optimize run n gun its also extra damage
all the blessings for sneedler suck
run and gun is like one of the very few that does actually something
well you can look at it another way, stripped down having 0 opportunity cost is pretty op xd
I am kinda shocked it didn't get anything special
