What are the best blessings for the double barrel?

#

And should I use Ammo Jack for the extra shot?

#

otherwise the former on other classes

sinful matrix
#

I've pretty much just started defaulting to flak/unarmored these days for trundling around in auric

#

Like regardless of weapon it just hits the most amount of armor types you're gonna see in a mission. If not that, its usually carapace/unyielding for the chunky weapons like Ogryn's melee

Seems completely normal to me. Nothing to see here...carry on

That is horrible

Truly the worst colour for a rifle

#

Bit sad, but should get the job done, 15s cooldown on the stimm, Devils Claw variant that has horizontal heavies and Desperado build, just whenever stimm is up, go whack some poxwalkers

echo python
#

Heavy Sword with Deathblow is a good weapon to progress both of those penances as well

#

Heaby sword

That was my 2nd option, but would have consecrate

Eugh

These are mission rewards that im using for this

First time i feel like surviving in baby havocs, with good psyker with bubble, guess thats what it takes

x9 stamina chad

burnt vapor
#

okay is that funny or actually good

#

because i dont know

vapid jungle
#

Its a lot of attack speed with the right talents that's for sure!

#

A more balanced answer is some combination of stam/health/toughness whatever you feel comfortable with and then revive speed and more toughness and health. Stam regen might be nice but hscum already has the fastest regen and tied for the fastest delay.

upbeat gyro
#

Next up bubble+inferno psyker since that carried the games

exotic temple
#

Vraks goes brrr. I would say on some of those longer shots some ads might help. The accuracy goes to shit after dumping 1/3 the magazine so the ads can rein that in a bit for longer shots. Close up doesnt matter

spark pelican
#

Why is hive scum so cheeks

#

Jesus

#

💀

tranquil fjord
#

is it though

spark pelican
#

Idk

#

Having a semi bad experience last run

#

I was put with low level players

tranquil fjord
#

ah

spark pelican
#

Yeah ;-;

#

This time hoping things are better

#

Would love to have more toughness stuff for a tank build

exotic temple
#

You have a bunch of tdr and dr in the tree but you also have a lot of talents that you can abuse for stupid amounts of survivability

astral canyon
#

youre not really supposed to tank with scum

#

you really need to get good at dodging

exotic temple
#

If you go rampage chem dep you get a bunch of innate dr. With gang tough, rampage, hcb, and chem dep it’s like 57% dmg reduc if I did my maths right.

spice cloud
#

Guys what are your go to blessings for the dual stubs?

tranquil fjord
#

desperado, run and gun

#

more crits for more consistent one shots, take float like a butterfly too

spice cloud
#

I see

tranquil fjord
#

id also recommend sticky hands for less spread too

#

on top of run and gun

spice cloud
#

Yeah i have all that

#

I played without run and gun now and i honestly dont see much difference.

#

I was allways using it before

#

I tried pinning fire and powderburn but i dont really know how much difference it made.

tranquil fjord
#

you could take sustained fire instead of run and gun

#

powderburn is ehhhhh

spice cloud
#

I had sustained fire before yeah

tranquil fjord
#

these are the most consistent buffs i find

rough peak

#

Okay things are looking better. I’ll try the shotgun

#

With the stub knives I’m going for bleed stacks

upbeat gyro
exotic temple
spice cloud
#

I tried bistol desperado

#

Was kinda fun.

dim moth
#

still think people are massively overreacting about pickpocket

spice cloud
#

Pickpocket is just infinite ammo.

dim moth
#

yeah but like everyone seems to point fingers at it as the overpowered talent on scum

#

when veteran has had infinite ammo since forever

spice cloud
#

No vet doesnt have inf ammo like this

#

But its not op either

dim moth
#

true

spice cloud
#

Its just super usefull

dim moth
#

their infinite ammo is better since it keeps the ammo in the mag

#

instead of still having to reload

spice cloud
#

I think of it this way: if i have inf ammo on a desperado build i wont make my team fume by picking up every ammo pack.

#

I think its better for all of us

dim moth
#

I don't pick up ammo packs on gun vet either :/

#

laspistol and helbore are straight up ammo positive even when shooting 24/7

#

you will regain lost ammo if you end up dying for some reason

spice cloud
#

Yeah vet can manage an entire mission without pickups.

#

But its way easyer with puckpocket

#

Im just not so sure about gunsilnger improved.

dim moth
#

getting crits is a somewhat easier task than killing a specialist/elite

spice cloud
#

Is it even worth it to have?

dim moth
#

I have had instances of running out of ammo on gun scum because elite/special spawns dry up

#

and my teammates have suddenly acknowledged that those enemies exist

#

and kill them

spice cloud
#

Its not like non special hordes are any threat anymore.

#

And i can still activate desperado and suddenly have ammo againKEKW_ogryn

manic wolf
vapid jungle
#

Vets ammo abuse is limited to lasweapons hscum is not restricted in this way

#

Thats what pushes it over the edge to me anyway.

slim holly
#

does the hyper-violence added damage benefit from multipliers like close damage and can it crit / hit weakspots?

tranquil fjord
#

i think the added damage is applied after multipliers

spice cloud
#

Guys what blessings for infantry autogun?

#

Dumdum and deathspitter?

bronze glade
#

yup

spice cloud
#

Allrighty

#

I like that gun on scum

bronze glade
#

vraks iag?

#

yeah well it's op

dim moth
#

you know a thought just occured to me that playing exe vet to compare shock trooper infinite ammo to gun scum infinite ammo with randoms

#

I may be too good at exe vet

#

and I actively starve pickpocket users of ammo by single handedly clearing the entire map of elites/specialists

rough peak
exotic temple
#

I’d rather deal with you being too good at your job than not being good enough

rough peak
#

Yeah

#

any day

#

I've dealt with bad randos for too long, competent players are a godsend

bronze glade
#

idm bad players

#

as long as they're not toxic teammates

#

the bar's really fucking low

tranquil fjord
exotic temple
#

I get really aggravated on ogryn because of this. It’s like I’m tanking the horde and the crusher just please kill the specialists

bronze glade
#

and teams still somehow piss me off

rough peak
bronze glade
#

competent players make the game more boring tbh

rough peak
#

I've been burned enough times I don't care if it's more boring, it's nice

#

sure it's a rush to play out of your mind and dominate everything, but, sometimes it's nice not to have to as much

patent bone
#

I'm gonna try the double barrel

#

Looks fun

dim moth
#

reloads and does it again

#

still hasn't killed anything

rough peak
#

Yep

bronze glade
#

they just need to shoot at unarmed civies that are no threat to them

#

then the accuracy goes up

dim moth
#

that's also something I had a revelation about recently somewhat unrelated

#

I don't really see dumbass knife zealots or recon lasgun veterans super often anymore

#

because all those dumbasses are arbites players now

bronze glade
#

arbi shotgun players are so fucking bad

dim moth
#

magdumping their gun into hordes all game and somehow still has shit damage

#

eats all ammo

bronze glade
dim moth
#

arbites runs ahead out of coherency and fucks the entire team over with spawns the entire game

bronze glade
#

while i was playing the asshole arbi shotgun build

#

naturally my damage eclipsed his

exotic temple
#

Which is really sad because it’s kinda hard to miss with a shotgun.

rough peak
dim moth
#

they don't miss

#

they just have comically shit target priority

rough peak
#

My accuracy isn't as bad as I make it out to be, but, it's not good either

#

It's probably average

I like it more then dual autos tbh.

I dont know why i dont like those.

spice cloud
#

Whenever i play a melee class with no real ramged option that sniper will atay alive for 5 minutesKEKW_ogryn

exotic temple
#

I swear sometimes I get bot team mates but that’s an insult to the bots because they will 180 no scope a sniper from half the map away

spice cloud
#

Like i beg you please shoot it instead of my back.

#

How does support works for Hivescum ? Could you heal ?

spice cloud
#

Buff them a lot

#

And heal corruption

exotic temple
spice cloud
exotic temple
#

So you have to take crate without a cartel stim and find the green stims to heal

spice cloud
#

Its better to go for strenght cdr or atrack speed and atun immunity.

exotic temple
#

Th crate will heal corruption but that’s all the base healing it does

spice cloud
#

Sounds kinda funny tho

exotic temple
#

It’s really awkward and most people Hoover those up

spice cloud
#

Healing on a pretty low cd sounds kinda busted tho.

exotic temple
#

Well it’s not often you find green stims back to back though

spice cloud
#

True.

exotic temple
#

It would be interesting if you had a coordinated team but that’s a lot of work when cartel stim exists.

spice cloud
#

I mean in the end if you dont loose much health the cartel special will allways be better.

livid raven
#

people did try no custom stim crate builds at launch

#

that shit is awkward

fallen grove
#

does Adrenaline Smiter work with Hyper-Critical? No, right?

#

IIRC there was a whole stink about Hyper-Crit not triggering any on-kill nodes a while back

#

But I don't remember if that was changed in any hotfixes

astral canyon
#

You can test it on psykanium

fallen grove
#

I will, just wondering if anyone knows off hand

trim wind
#

Or look at patch notes!

fallen grove
#

it looks like they do trigger together in the psykhanium, guess they patched it after all

Hold up, this is fire?

low harbor
#

spotted 1 mistake tho

#

bolt weapons' explosions don't hit base armor type, they hit center mass (which is different)

#

and the ranged attacks can hit any hitzone like normal, only explosions are limited to hitting center mass

bronze glade
#

a good YT video guide?

#

impossible

low harbor
#

good guide

bronze glade
#

smh

zenith fern
#

Full of misinformation and not well search?

low harbor
# bronze glade still a B-

8/10 because of the bolt weapon mistake, and he didn't go into that much detail on the ragers' differences

#

I think it's worth noting that dreg ragers have different behaviour based on the distance you're away from them when they start combo

#

and u can actually control the attacks they use by playing around that

#

additionally there's a massive mass discrepancy between dreg and scab ragers

#

scab ragers are much harder to cleave through and their carapace center mass makes this more apparent

#

an attack with 9.5 cleave can hit 3 dreg ragers, but won't even cleave through 1 scab rager

crude dagger
#

Almost like it's harder to pen armor over skin

calm aurora
#

8/10 because of the bolt weapon mistake > ?

zealous ravine
#

8/10 not enough tides

low harbor
main wagon
main wagon
#

Danke

low harbor
#

Basically

#

Stick close to Dreg ragers

#

If u dodge too far away from them it only makes them harder for ur team to deal with

main wagon
#

Makes sense yeah

#

I try to teach my guys how to disengage safely because positioning is the one thing I see them struggle with the most rn

#

Having an escape plan that makes like half the horde instantly not your problem is massive

#

Two of them also have a habit of pushing and dodging further into the horde/map rather than looping back to the team who's carving through everything else

upbeat gyro
#

Living My hivescumlife, litemode, alcohol

main wagon
#

So I'll hit em with "youre all alone up there big dawg"

low harbor
#

It’s also worth noting that

#

The more u try to kite Dreg ragers

#

Because of their attack changing based on distance

#

The harder they’re to kill for melee players

main wagon
#

Basically they cover your entire window of opportunity in "damage" yeah

#

I've seen a couple times where they've tried to use FGS/Relic range to their advantage just to get hit with cascading combo speeds

crude dagger
#

You guys fight ragers head on?

#

I just blow their head off

#

I don't care to engage ragers

main wagon
#

In small groups of like 2-3 they're fine for me

#

Once I can fill my entire crosshair with ragers I pull out my gun

crude dagger
#

I can barely handle 1

#

But i can handle 30 of them when i shoot them

main wagon
#

Gunscum is a bit more generous in that I pull out my gun whenever the enemy can be pinged

#

And even if it cant

crude dagger
#

Scum specifically? I tap them 1-2 times with needlebefore they can touch me

#

They die fast

main wagon
#

I recently reorganized my gunscum for two +3 stam and 1 toughness curio, and took the "kills give enhanced cleave" talent

#

Feels so much better now

livid raven
#

i found the rare shield mode ogryn in the wild

crude dagger
#

I like sheild

main wagon
#

I like shield as a concept

#

My hand does not like shield in practice

livid raven
#

yeah but you prob shouldn't go into braced shield mode in front of a horde of dogs

#

in aurics

main wagon
#

Arbites I can do just fine but Ogryn shield genuinely gives me wrist pain from holding LMB

livid raven
#

some players just go on shield mode and do nothing else

#

and think they are helping

main wagon
#

I got a buddy playing shieldgryn who's seen the light of "taunt on block"

#

He just tanks sniper shots and starts cackling while they kick the air

#

Occasionally while I'm orbiting the team like an angry electron I'll just see a sniper kicking the shit out of a support beam and go "oh hey there's one back here"

crude dagger
#

I'm still getting used to actually using block

low harbor
crude dagger
#

I'll use sheild and maul on arby and never fuvking block

blocking can be pretty good on arbi shield

sorry but i don't believe it

#

I'm not a H40 gamer, I'm speaking strictly Aurics/Maels

crude dagger
#

I forget to block cause i didn't need to for like 80% of the mission

low harbor
bronze glade
#

arbi has a lot of stagger, but there's also a lot of things you won't be able to stagger immediately all the time

crude dagger
#

Ill push though

bronze glade
#

like snipers

low harbor
#

And for the weapons that don’t

crude dagger
#

I just blow snipers

low harbor
#

They usually have high dodge stats

main wagon
#

I regularly go through missions on Arby with the least damage taken and sometimes it's <100 lol

bronze glade
bronze glade
#

because arbi is fucking stupid

#

and i know i can get away with it

crude dagger
#

I turn snipers into red mist

#

I see red line and they're dead

#

I don't care to play gimmicks and cheese with my food

#

I just kill them and move on

bronze glade
#

ok because blow has another, much more prominent meaning KEKW_ogryn

crude dagger
#

No, sniper is the last thing I would blow like that

I’m sure

This is the way

Like if i can help it, I'll just kill most any elites and specials before they can touch anyone really

Idk if i can finesse a rager I'm blowing its head into fine red mist with my bolter

I love being the eliter deleter, but then nobody mows the lawn

#

When I start mowing the lawn, nobody deals with the specials

#

I love Darktide

crude dagger
#

I do both

#

I usually run my gun for bossing and melee for mobbing

#

Because there's not a lot of bossing i usually don't stray from just shooting whatever i feel like

Damn so scum really isn't getting more cosmetics huh

Arbites hasn't got any new stuff either, I wish I knew why Fatshark don't put anything together even if it's just basic recolors or small asset swaps.

I've been AFK on the mourningstar and I just shifted my mouse to turn towards the shop and hit something solid

I still had my controller plugged in from playing Shadow of War

I am not playing controller darktide by choice

Only necessity on the deck because it has paddles

#

This is just the Tallarn desert raider set

#

Just a recolor and it already looks great.
I wish they would do this because I'd absolutely pay for it.

#

I don't feel like backlash from recolors in the slop store concerns them at all, considering the rotation we just got

#

They could just sell some cosmetics from the other classes, swap some pouches

Recolors are fine if they look good

I wouldn't pay for a recolor

Scum and Arbites don't have Havoc 40 gear

#

Which, personally I think is absolute bullshit

pallid quail
#

yea that was lazy af of them. like i know gw can be rly nitpicky about maintaining the purity of their product but surely they couldve just copied an existing model n called it good

zealous ravine
#

fatshark ran outta arby budget forever

stable kindle
#

It's not like the Havoc gear is tied to any actual models

pallid quail
#

idk i dont have intimate knowledge of how gw interacts with their licensees

#

kinda wish i did tho

zealous ravine
#

all i know is that they have weekly meetings and everything goes through them

pallid quail
#

if i was like insanely rich id buy gw or at least a huge stake in it

crude dagger
#

I'd be fine with that

pallid quail
#

n then get the best team to make a huge 40k mmo

#

with every major faction

crude dagger
pallid quail
#

like wow but even bigger

crude dagger
#

If i was rich i would make a warhammer game akin to monster hunter

zealous ravine
#

im ok with a warhamemr mmo if the combat is good

#

usually mmo combat is uh some doohickey sorta thing...

crude dagger
#

Depends

#

Ff14 has rotational combat

zealous ravine
#

yeah i dont like that combat type

pallid quail
zealous ravine
#

sm2 combat is defo uh

pallid quail
#

1 dimensional

zealous ravine
#

defo lets you do stuff every 5 seconds

crude dagger
#

Rotational gameplay requires thinking, and good balance to do

zealous ravine
#

then you gotta wait 5 more seconds

crude dagger
#

I like where winds meet combat

pallid quail
#

imagine tho like every faction having different classes n lvling mechanics n whatnot

zealous ravine

i liked new world combat but that gam is exploding soon

ArchAge?

I remember you actually went to court in that one and the players were hilariously draconian

There were actual land disputes because Korean players took all the land for housing and farming

dusky wind
#

Star Wars Galaxies I think

main wagon
#

Ohh Star Wars specifically

dusky wind
#

yeaaaa

main wagon
#

Yeah Galaxies is the one that got "ruined" when Jedi became a normal class

#

AFAIK It was like EVE-tier for that player economy stuffs but an actual game instead of a spreadsheet simulator

dusky wind
#

yeaaaaa

main wagon
#

I've not heard a lot of people talk negatively about Galaxies but then again they do tend to be old-head MMO players, so there is a bit of bias lol

dusky wind
#

I wish I couldve played it when it was alive

main wagon
#

I think a 40k MMO would need to be more like New World/Once Human rather than a traditional tab targetting MMO in 2026

dusky wind

seemed fun

main wagon
#

Shit even go full Vindictus, just please don't make it as bad as that was

zealous ravine
#

im happy as long as i get to stab stuf with big melee weps

main wagon
#

Now that I think about it, Vindictus wasn't really MMO in the traditional sense, it's more like Destiny 2's kind of "yeah it's technically a massive online multiplayer game but..."

pallid quail
main wagon
#

Destiny the most you'll see players is at the hub, rather than one particular city in the game being a place where everyone conglomerates

pallid quail

no 3rd person slop

main wagon

Even on their planets it's a large expanse of nothing just so you can enter an instance

main wagon

i like first person melee mor personally

Thirdperson is the only way it should be

zealous ravine
#

almost like im a darktide player or something

main wagon
#

Not for melee

pallid quail
#

🤮

main wagon
#

But for an MMO?

crude dagger
#

Bioware made that

zealous ravine
#

dunno mmo doesnt necessarily need 3rd person

main wagon
#

Ehhhh

#

A whole part of an MMO is having your character

zealous ravine
#

i don need to look at my char always

crude dagger
#

If my mmo doesn't have 3rd person with paid cosmetics, I'm deleting it

zealous ravine
#

and first person is more immersive anyways

crude dagger
#

No way I'm paying 20 bucks to not see my own skin

main wagon
#

Unironically

#

Darktide you at least get to walk around the Mourningstar in thirdperson, and some actions and such let you see yourself in additon to getting different "hand" skins from them

i wonder when i last played cod

I've been enjoying Shadow of War recently and grew up on old school Asssasin's Creed so I really do struggle imagine how you believe thirdperson melee has to suck unless you specifically want something like Chivalry's 1:1 "your weapon hits exactly where you aim it" gameplay, but you probably wont find anything that technical in an open world MMO anyways

crude dagger
#

I don't know why anyone would want something to suck in any game no matter the reason

main wagon
#

Enough normies loved SM2 that GW could definitely get away with a thirdperson action MMO that wouldn't feel awful

I think you only really get the hardcore "I AM NOT CHALLENGED ENOUGH" players saying SM2 sucks

It's why tab targetting systems with bars of abilities on GCDs exist in the first place

Classic PSO2, genesis is weird

it just has file bloat from that fuck ass open world mode

I never got into ESO because it looked like it got very Korean MMO towards the endgame

so you have to download that, and then the real game

But yeah, that

open world mode did come with a complete shader/texture overhaul for everything including all the old stuff tho

I say was because I can't be arsed to play it but it's very much alive

Last time I played Warframe bowmag was still a meme and there was no open world

shotguns had to be nearly point blank (or also a headshot for slugs)

If you take the full damage tree, with crit or rending, it's a massive, noticeable buff to the team that lasts 15 seconds with a 45s cooldown. You can get that stim cooldown to 25-30s easily by killing things, so absolutely buffed half the time beats barely buffed all the time

COD zombies is fun. at least the round based ones.

mighty belfry

Pretty good benefits for a 27s stimm

#

And with sample, very easy to keep the corruption benefits near permanent

heady jungle
#

Okay so I’m doing two in strength and speed, one in damage reduction/toughness restore, and one in cdr

#

Just to edge in a little more usefulness without hindering the stimm cooldown too much

mighty belfry
#

Both of those one nodes are kinda pointless if I'll be real

#

6.25% CDR really doesn't do anything

#

Neither does the damage reduction one

heady jungle
#

Okay dropped the cdr and replaced it with level two damaned reduction :>

mighty belfry
#

CDR is only purposeful if you actually go the full branch

#

I suppose 8% DR isn't awful

heady jungle
#

I’m jist trying to think of some effective low cost combinations

#

With a fast cooldown

errant hatch
#

what does Stopping power do on my autopistols?

#

is it a dump stat?

bronze glade
#

if it's dual autos you're talking about

#

and you're running desperado

#

dump stat is collateral

eager reef
#

realistically the only reason we dump mobility is bc it simply doesnt do enough over 60

errant hatch
eager reef
#

if the jump from 60 to 80 actually did something there might be a debate on some weapons

#

but even then on most weapons every stat but mobility affect damage in some way

#

though if i recal at one point zealots were dumping a different stat on one of the evis marks

vapid jungle
#

Bonesaw can dump crit just fine. The max mobility feels better.

eager reef
#

even psyker not dumping mobility is bc of how warp res affects damage

eager reef
#

easier to do with lower warp res

heady jungle
#

So do psykers dump mobility too?

eager reef
#

weapon dependant

bronze glade
#

for staves yeah you dump warp res or in the case of voidstrike, radius

eager reef
#

on alot of themn you'll dump warp res

#

force greatswords you do both depending on what you are doing with it

#

pysker is weird like that

#

then vet has some funny stuff with plasma stats

#

iirc 76% heat

#

anything more is wasted

#

but this is talking like super optimized

#

most people dont have a perfectly optimize plasma bc the stats are so specific

bronze glade
#

@shy solar

eager reef
#

there it is

#

it's wildly specific bc math

#

i have one that is 71/73

#

but i never use plasma bc i jsut dont like the gun

#

anyway, the tldr of mobility is that after like 56% the stat doesnt make a huge difference in min maxing terms unless you really want the marginal increase it gives

#

hence why it gets dumped

#

short of reworking the scaling on it that is unlikely to change

#

oh wait, stubbers may also not dump mobility and instead dump collateral

#

specifically the high RPM one, for the perks you take you dont want stuff to ragdollm, you want them to die

#

but even there the differnce isnt that big as it's stagger isnt great in the first place

dim moth
eager reef
#

if you play with needle and a melee that crits alot it's actually pretty easy

dim moth
#

a melee that crits a lot describes every melee on scum

eager reef
#

true

heady jungle
#

I use a combo of cleaver and needle for maximum chem uptime :3

eager reef
#

i find dclaw to be the most consistent even if tacaxe is better over all

#

but im a parry enthusiast

flat mist
# eager reef anyway, the tldr of mobility is that after like 56% the stat doesnt make a huge ...

mobility is underrated on some weapons, imo. bonesaw for example. 60% mob gives you +0.09 and 80% gives 0.27. shivs give 0.7 at 80%. given how slow bonesaw feels relative to shivs, it makes little sense to consider bridging the gap by 30% marginal. and bonesaw is a good example of having a damage modifier that is also marginal. you lose 1.2% crit chance going from 80>60% and a truly tiny amount of crit damage

#

bonesaw feels so much better with that extra 0.18 movement speed

eager reef
#

i have one of both and i agree. but in the end it'll be preference. i wish the gap from 60 to 80 was more meaningful

#

That said I absolutely do not want a speed meta

little laurel
#

So... if you use Long Lasting, and you have Stim Crate

What is up of seeing many scums using 3 wounds lately today lmao

#

and still get dunked hard

#

3 wounds or 3 wound curios

zenith fern
#

3 wounds

lost ravine
#

anyway that is the reason in itself because you lose out on some defensive stats

#

so really you just get dunked harder

rough peak
#

It turns out that relying on an extra down and losing stats you can use to prevent yourself from going down... doesn't work in practice

#

You can't always get picked up

#

Sometimes you can get away with it, but, without adequate players there to help you take advantage of the extra down(which even then you still can't always get picked up) then you're losing out on more survival

#

but going down more puts more strain on your team since they have to risk themselves going down to get you up

livid raven
#

yeah it only takes a down for the whole match to go to shit anyway

Does not matter when scum can still get down on a single crusher overhead

desperado isn't so good that you'd use a point for just 5 seconds

If it works on Crushers it's good enough

#

Maybe a tac axe is the way

tranquil fjord
#

but shivs also work on crushers

muted pivot
#

Since vulture builds get hypercrit for free

#

Just deal with Shivs being a little inefficient on a desp build then

#

They do get the job done enough to survive

tranquil fjord
#

if youre concerned with cooldown on desperado

#

have you used chem dependency

#

it gives more consistent cooldown buffs

main wagon
#

IMO rending stim makes shivs pretty dang good even with a desperado focused build if you’re feeling like they aren’t all that against big stuff

#

I recommend throwing 2 shivs, spamming a couple heavies repeat until out of crushers or knives

tranquil fjord
#

its easy to get a refund off of any chaff enemy if you push them, and then dodge behind to kill them

#

which is considered a backstab

main wagon
#

Yeah, and the backstab window is like a full 180°, very generous

I do love chem dependency but I want to go Vulture just for the sake of variety tbh
