early havoc like 1-20 is still kinda chill, like playing auric
above is much much harder though
I stick to the host for self protecting me from griefer use rocket trying kill me.
i once watched a hive scum fire 10 or more rockets from their RPG's and got a direct hit every time while we were on a ledge. tf ;-;
Hit the barrel?
they always hit an enemy every time. and im pretty sure half of them were crushers.
@clear isle i hate stereotype payday 2 player kick people going down or in custody when griefer attempt killing me
are you sure they weren't using swan song? its a skill you can use when you are almost dead and gives you infinite ammo (including rockets) for like 10 seconds
I think its nerfed now though so rockets dont work
but it used to like 1-2 years ago
I was playing as demoman build m32k launcher and sociopath perk katana
That was like 4 or 5 year ago
The dude use m202 flash to kill me
thats wild, I never saw a hacker in darktide all my 600 hours
Could be the brute and blast event
oh maybe
Yeah i hate someone trying kill to send me to custody so the host would kick someone downed or custody too much.
Explaining wouldnt help because the griefer deflect it
yeah it really sucks, Im glad I stopped playing pd2 since then
Grew hating pd2 glazer then
it wasnt a hacker they just went back and forth from an ammo crate i placed and i spent the whole thing watching them ;-;
after the last heist was added I just dropped it

mmm delicious ammo
Wait pd2 stop adding stuff?
yeah man last heist was June 2023
crude awakening heist
They only do maintenance and bug updates for the game now
I got pd3 recently, it hasn't been too bad
Im broke rn can't afford game or dlc
I have only 6 hours on it though so I didn't get too deep in yet
After my $3000 spent on games and dlc
3000 damn
Is fair, i didnt get into much because expensive dlc and fewer weapons, skill is pd2 skill
Life time*
I only bought the base game when it was on sale, due to steam it only cost $7
better price than the $40+ others paid for it on release
Im proud to spent shit bunch games dlc than going roblock spent mtx money on short life span cash grab games or cosmetic on dying platform

Look at this lmao
Is only in a zombie shooting game, is a lootbox rng to get high tier weapon
man what 😭
Dude spent $40 robuck just to get minigun from lootboxes roll in zombie game that isn't popular today and has like
It used to be popular in 2018
2016 their release
But theres dev split a guy used to work other guy stole entire his asset and work and become greedy
Im in one server guy got stole by other guy he got pissed call lawyer, and nothing happen
TwThOwOse whOwO wwemain
So thats why so brimestone a guy spent 40 dollar for minigun roll chances on this dead ass game
40 dollars on roblox is wild
I think over 5 years on roblox I only spend like 5 or 10 💀
Roblox isn't worth spending on most game you find most game just dead and move one after few months
Except if is a sandbox high quality game like theme park tycoon 2. Few playing, but people use creativity to build something.
In the end of day, roblox just disposable video game made by amateurs most of it. Unlike steam here like a plaza offer bunch of games
I can ask a hive scum for good cheap games i goes random steam key black market buy discount price lol
At the time it was popular, and I bought some cosmetics
So they carry over between games
Yeah the cosmetics lol

this game have lootboxes now?
Yes for those who remain
Is the hivescum actually worth it anymore now that the never stop shooting thing got removed
You mean pickpocket?
You guys were using Desp pickpocket?
Yeah HS very worth it
Beat mobility in game
Insane melee potential
Since it was any kill and not just melee previously you could absolutely make it work.
Pick nerf wasnt that bad
I'm very aware, I'm moreso saying scum has a lot of valid playstyles
I always preferred melee builds personally so the nerf didn’t even touch me.
maybe not* for people who never switch weapons lol
some bros just want to play payday
you mean some people actually find playing OG Marksman Focus Vet: Actually-Moving Edition 24/7 to be fun?
there is a maelstrom modifier that's kinda like that
it's ventilation purge and then just ranged elite spam
What is the best class for parry spamming
Theres no class for parry spam
arbites for perfect block spam
arbites perfect block is pretty nice, it's the only class with the ranged secondary that can pull it off : shotpistol!
as far as a parry, devil claw on zealot is my pick. this talent is overlooked, for good reason, but is a massive buff for that one bad scenario of parry spamming - disabling block break!
i believe it also can proc when reviving others, though i have not tested it myself.
hive scum has really good stamina recovery from regained posture, hive city brawler turns low stamina into a 20% damage buff , and the attack speed stimm lab has a great secondary effect with stamina cost reduction that can enable silly parry spam as well.
Does anyone even use regained posture?
no, lol
but it's kinda nuts to see it in action if you dodge constantly and use stamina.
and that the infinite sprint talent is baked into the class lol
What
Just you dork
the one that also gave increased sprint* dodge angles to ranged fire.
I was running it today with combat blade kekw
That all it did. How is that infinite sprint?
Oh edit
I think I just played with a cryptid. Level 95 psyker that kept dying and calling the level 2400 and 1100 hive scum bad over voice because they let him die. I wasn't certain they were real 😭
sorry, my mistake. it let your sprint dodge even without stamina!
Ah yeah, well remembered
I got sad that my caxe build only has 35% crit, so i made a 100% crit caxe build
oh it was even one of the few talents they put into early dev blogs
in your face apparently used to be in your face and unload
Huge if true
now its shortshot
Reminds me of everyone writing "ANAL [inserate literally any rogue talent]" in wow world chat back in the day
Anal eviscerate... hehe
Peak humour
death knights always win that game
Only back when you lost stamina during exhaust
Its infinite humour fodder
Anal wrath
Anal regrowth
desecration and obliterate
Anal demonic imp 
hand of gul'dan
Hahahaha
execute
Anal Misdirection
Slightly heretical but enjoying this with caxe
Extra 25-40% crit makes it feel way better against cara
And does wonders vs monstrosities
Could swap the aura and ditch maxed out chems
wheere are my scum lords i need help
- I have +unyield on needle pistol, lets say it lets me do 1k dmg per tick at max stacks on a boss...if i swap to a melee that does not have +unyield, what happens to that 1k?
- what happens if the pistol does not have +unyield but the melee does have? lets say non-unyield is 1k at max stacks and i swap to melee with +unyield
melee has tox stack on crit to maintain / add stacks
Damage perks are applied based on what weapon you have equipped
But does the needle snapshot buffs or does it actively update?
So when uou switch to melee your damage will drop if you dont havs uny on it
Err the dot
my creature pawner not working and the stupid reaper dies 2 fast lol thx
The perk damage is not locked in when toxin is applied
Actively update
You can see it go up and down if you swap back and forth
so if i use pistol as an adjunct, theres no reason to have unyield since ill pop 5 needles in a boss then swap to melee with +unyield and then itd buff up the tox?
Yeah pretty much
i am enlightened
Hypothetically crit chance could be more useful to apply more stacks
But 1-2 extra stacks 5% of the time is shit
i just popped a reaper with tox without +unyield, swapped to +unyield melee and it didnt buff the dmg?
Have u reloaded the psykh since u respecced
Do you have the near/far ranged damage talent
first ss with no unyield pistol
second ss with +unyield melee out
nope
i did notice the +unyield did make the number like 170 or some shit but since i took it off its just not worky Q_Q
Im 100% sure so reload everything and check again i reckon
Chem toxin adms are so ridiculous.
im in a truesolo psykh does that matter
cause i just put +unyield back on and its still 138 lmao
Did u reload the psykhanium
Mk6 knife enjoyers
I was running it earlier with knoife 
ok something weird iwth truesolo i took OFF unyield nad now its doing 118 dmg, so idk wtf is happening lmao
Counters push spam stamina cost.
Slippery cust and 36% stam regen for always max stam even with spamming PA memes
fug it goin bak to work
True solo is really buggy
basically goal is that if i stack just a bit more dmg i can 1 hit every elite gunner in h40
Some things just don't work properly there.
So take any testing there with a grain of salt.
Got quick and deadly?
In Your Face would get you there if you dont swap back to melee
(Only applies when your ranged weapon is equipped)
i have no spare talent points, otherwise id love in yo face
and no quick n dedly
i just think i need to test in real game cause i think +10% range elite would let me 1 hit scab elite gunner when non-critting non-headshot on h40 alongside flak
then everything else is still either 2 hit kill (like mauler / dreg rager, regardless of perk combo) or 1 hit (still 1 hitting flamers n stuff, though i usually do 2 since it takes a while)
1 hitting every elite gunner would be so huge lol
and for unyield i just swap to melee anyway for bosses so dont need +unyield technically with +1tox on crit
I had no idea shivs gave back special ammo on regular enemy backstab kill
Ya
Also.
I've found a stimm crate build I actually like using
The world is coming to an end apparently.
U should just be able to shoot a bigger target in the psykhanium and math it out, right?
Send pics
U should also send build pics
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a18d9fe7-b9a0-4364-8d2e-58cfdad4226b/toxicological-terror
No. Not taking pickpocket is not a mistake. 
Chem bomb with strength buff is kinda bonkers ngl
It's very much a melee heavy build. Just with a lot more toxins.
I would but needle pistol just a dumb gun idk if I trust it unless I actually use it xD
idk wat was going on but i restarted game and it allw orks now, +10% elite dmg lets me now 1 hit body every elite gunner on h40 lol, except non-crit non-headshot no external buff leaves plasma at literally 32 hp
I like it. Just a rampage build w/o rampage and that isnt a criticism
Yep. Literally did that by mistake
And realized
It's pretty darn good.
And yeah pickpocket is unnecessary. Just a comfort pick when i know im gonna br playing more defensively bc im tired
Im skeptical about toxin mania still but you do have 5 sources of toxin
It was objectively bad pre splash damage existing, atleast on rampage builds
@mighty belfry you can just take Close and Deadly instead. Theres no way its getting less value than toxin lame-ia
It's the blackouts
It's a guaranteed buff for them.
And Chem bomb
And it's also not hard to get value from it with knife light spam
And splash damage being there, ya
I genuinely think Close and Deadly is kinda overrated
Uptime isn't as great as you'd first think.
Hmm
I have a really stupid idea now
Crit do toxin. Heavy sword, max crit with perfect strike and chained deathblow. Light spam for max toxin proccing
With stimm crate.
nothing i love more than leaving a havoc 40 after clocking a loser with a terrible attitude
oh boy
I just wanted to get the bad experience off my chest. I like your idea though.
It could either be a terrible idea because the sword itself ain't gonna do much
Don’t know how it’d compare to weapons that already have inherent tox like the cleaver because that also does good damage
Or an amazing idea because perfect strike is just gonna let me proc toxin on entire mixed hordes with little interruption
It's the fact that perfect strike procs on crit, which cuts down hit mass immensely and makes your swing not care about carapace
Including bulwark shields
So every crit is gonna proc toxin on a lot of enemies in swings
Cleaver can’t do the same? I mean I know it needs a bit more investment for cleave but how valuable is hit mass reduction versus a cleave increase? I’d assume the hit mass reduction is a bigger help
Not at all. Because there's nothing for bonesaw that makes it ignore hit mass entirely.
cleave stat is the damage distribution across your max number of targets, where hit mass stat directly increases your max number of targets iirc
i got a bone saw build that works in h40 but then its literally just good at boss dmg and killin crushers n maulers fast, its not that good still no matter how hard u try to make it clear a few trash mobs xd
rather just use dclaw
yea it aint gon compete vs the bone saw but with practice you can get good clear speed on a rot pack if u parry right
i usually dodge and move in a way where only one or two overheads might hit me out of a whole pack, so ill eat the second for a parry, or parry same time as a dodge so a 2nd wont hit
its like a lot of practice tbh but it has okay clear speed, not good but okay* XD for carapace
also handles ragers like a motherfker, not even needing to use parry
love my Dclaw, works great on hive scum too so bonus
can just take infinite ammo needle gun for crushers too
yea sometimes i just give up and abuse needle
Oh i agree but toxin mania also has uptime issues
This but chainsword bc of its unique cleave damage fall off
I'm aware. I just think in this particular case
Running +550% cleave is a great meme if nothing else
I have so many sources of toxin that would benefit directly from it.
Otherwise I'd run something else.
I havent tested it for a couple patches
But yeah you have 3 aoe tox sources
Makes sense
This guys chainsword build makes me want to punch a baby in the face
wats dat
Its a talent

wat does it do
+15% close ranged damage for 3s on dodge
isn't that quick and deadly
Lmao
not close and deadly
It’s quick and deadly
For sooooo long i thought EE was empathetic evasion
yeah but thats your neutral state
😭
its empathy evasion. gotta avoid feeling sorry for these heretics
Or you could just not be a sociopath?!?!?!?!?
what is that, beloved?
I didnt say anything
"I CAN'T HEAAAAAAR YOUUUU"
Over the sound of the voices in my head*
Im not warp touched, this crazy is all me babbbyyy
hive scum being a tszeench psi op all along
to be fair, all the chaos gods are most likely involved due to nurgle throwing his weight around
Never let bro cook again
Is there consensus on what weapon is best for Desperado?
Dual Autopistols or Vraks Infantry Autogun
Thought so. But is one objectively better or is it situational to misson type?
dual autopistols has higher fire rate but vraks autogun has more finesse (single target dps)
you'd probably get better performance against enemies like reapers and Scab Ragers with the Vraks autogun
Thanks
np, it's harder to test as DAPs have more damage and more fire rate but can't aim and basically no finesse
while Vraks has always been a reliable ranged weapon even if it can't aim for head (maulers and plasma gunners)
So it's basically personal preference as both have their strengths and the details only really show up in the highest level difficulties
Dude managed to skip swift endurance, hyper crit, hyper viol, hive city brawler, street tough, pickpocket....
Its actually insane
and to think these are the people you see at the higher levels of difficulty
imagine the builds someone perma-stuck in Heresy or Malice looks like
I think that's more mechanical issue though
Bcz even with the worst builds you can compensate with mechanical skill
Lets be frank, it'd be both
Real
Darktide has always had the wackiest skill floor and skill ceiling of any multiplayer pve game I've seen
oh actually that reminded me of a time I found a lvl 30 Vet in Damnation with the starting aura
It could have been after an update and they didn't see that their skills were reset
This dude is a youtuber 💀
A sub 100 view-tuber tbf
Is there a list with photos of Tactical Axe and Infantry Autogun cosmetic skins?
should have most, since there hasn't been a new one recently https://warhammer-40k-darktide.fandom.com/wiki/Commodore's_Vestures
turns out alley rat is dangerous
it does if you click on the secondary images
if they exist
but the weapon models should give it away
otherwise you need mods to see them ingame
is devil claw parry a viable 'stay alive' melee solution solution for chem build scum against rotten armor??
that's a lot of stuff to parry
with ragers hitting you twice in some hits and the others just overheading you
i havnt had a ton of luck with shivs in general, so been thinking of alternatives like crowbar, tac axe, etc
hoping there something with a bit of stagger or something for areas since not every area is like psyk and lets me move around
tac axe is absolutely better than crowbar, but I think if you want anti armor with brittleness then cowbar is better
I'm not saying anything, but... the tac axe go crazy if you use macro and know how to set it up
ya im practicing a bit with the devil claw in psyk... its pretty great against small groups
but getting merked by big swarms
big swarms of what
just 'melee pressure' trial
is that mixed horde or
ya big mixed horde
and against 6 maulers, takes me awhile to kill them vs 6 dreg ragers
which i just 1 shot
check this shi out
ok, cleared it with tac axe and light spam / crate bomb
Check out my cheated gameplay guys it's so fast!!!!
This is not possible with human input bro 
I'm not wallhacking or anything
fuck kinda argument is that
You're trivializing the game for others
It's not about leaderboards and ranks
its still pretty fast axe
Every macro user I've played with just trivializes the game
Remember the goku spam psykers 
i get using like, an autoattacker to make the weapon easier to use on the hand but that's clearly just making it do something it's not supposed to at that point
how does a macro even do that? isnt the weapon attack speed limited?
animation cancel
oh
"how am i cheating i'm just using a macro to do 3x the damage i'm supposed to do" getthefuckouttahere
switch fast, animation cancel
yea I mean... they did't ban it anyway so.. why not
So true king
i do not say this lightly, but
well in any case, i'll try normal tac axe
bruh
it's not, it's just cringe behaviour
Hey, I say i'm not going to say anything; 😣 it's not cheating but ya know... it's a underhand tactic so I don't defend it or anything ~(>_<。)\
Using it to nuke captain void shield is fun as f so let me have some fun ヾ(•ω•`)o
u can surely play the game the normal way without macros
dudeee I play the game normal way like 300hr
i dont care either way, enjoy your game either way
I like that you are BASED

yea u can just keep on doing that instead of using macros lol
200hr left let me have some fun (TヘTo)
45s CD stim crate too long huh
I'm just using tac axe sometime, not like I abuse it, but I do use macro to spam light attacks, yes.

nah just learn to play normal
I smell pepega
it's not hard anyway
finger hurt
How old are you?

90
90 days?
Months would make sense
yeah but 90 days would be impressive
mandated edict: touch grass
I write too & play
My question about age was genuine
So how old are ya?
I'm 20 dude, in uni, writing alot
idk maybe u should play more relaxing games with less clicking, if DT without macro is painful for ur fingers at the age of 20
Why do you think i set a macro from the beginning, I dun wanna get trigger finger or something with finger
is booby trap pretty mandatory with stim supply?
no
is it even that good?
oh I do click like normal people for first 200hr like I say ~(><。)\~(><。)\~(><。)\~(><。)\~(>_<。)\
I use booby trap on crate spam since why not
Five second wait is a little brutal
But an immediate 7 stacks of toxin is nothing to scoff at
yea so why do u need macro now, I don't get the difference
and I have thousands of hrs
just seems like a lot of excuses really
all the end nodes are 45s cooldown, but i guess with chem dependency, curios, and stuff - i can still drop crates pretty consitently
Bruh… at 20 your fingers hurt that you use macros? Yeah nah; you’re finding excuses to ease your experience cause its easier & don’t want to experience failure (atleast in video games) due to said inexperience
You need to do better; you ain’t gonna get shit - stop acting like you’re made of porcelain

no but it is powerful, strong stagger & a lot of dmg
Yeah, but since the horde and the intensity get more insane, I just install a ghub and make it click for me, like too many enemies to click so I kind of got lazy too
yeah that's true, you're not wrong tho
We have hive scum cosmetic at home moment
See what i mean? Its not your fingers; its your mental state
Do better
uh no
I only use auto melee at the regular light spam speed
maybe someday... 👉👈
so just all excuses lol
just play the game normal
or the ranged option for semi-autos
or, if fingies hurt
take a break
do something manual
make fingies STRONG
build up clicking resistance
Hmm, the criminal chat is way more supportive than veteran chat somehow
Its not painful to him; its a convenient excuse but the point you made; @idle sedge ; play more relaxing games not darktide 
we all know he's not gonna do any of that and continue to macro spam lol
so this is what i got right now
i am a psyker chat envoy
Did they finally release the fucking hoods?
not the best scum player, but we've been having some mid-20s havocs where nobody has any anti-blight
where the hood at
no, it's for zealot and psyker
I mean for psyker
got chuu
it's for psyker and zealot
i love watching the team die to attrition because we do not have one of the few attrition hard counters
Those have been in the game since forever
i gonna uninstall darktide tommorow
because fuck the actul scum
take a break
holy crap i couldnt believe how much they ate blight
Ah yes pls say more BASED takes boi (i really wanted to say ‚bby’ but i resisted… AGAIN! ^^)
like bacon of purity would not save their ass
honestly, if they werent RL friends, i would just give up on them
hive scum hood yet hive scum has no hoods available
i find this curious
that's so considerate of you homie
Most likely; i ain’t the type to ignore it tho 
but i guess 45 second cooldown on stim crate wouldnt do much good if they eat that might blight too so maybe going for fervor is asking too much
Oh hush you~
maybe i should just get 2-3 defense nodes and call it


I mean, you just run the talent that gives you your crate back when your stim gets back
which is max 15 seconds
Zealot too? Thats… weird… no vet…
with one point investment
crate uses stim, but stim restores crate- so whats the proper way to cycle the two
what
i thought crate consumes your stim
i guess i dont need sample collector then

this is also very good for the "do things while stimmed" penances
as you would be stimmed 24/7
don't need yes but also, can't skip i think?
ok you can skip
tis > nimble -> jittery
yes
huh, so with the 21s one, if you were in the area up until it disappears, it more or less evens out to perfect uptime
5 second crate expode+15s stim effect, so it comes back right when effect ends
Gives you tdr tho; that alone is worth it
I mean yeah, I was just talking about what it gives to teammates
you obv run it for yourself
no, both effects are only for u
I mean it's in the path for rampage as well
unless you go ruffian
no one used them before when they were optional
blessed stimms/long lasting is a tax node but you actually have the exact same amount of talent points to spend as you used to before it was a tax node because the +25 toughness node was made baseline
ah
and long last ing stims affects the supply effect im guessing - not sure if realy woth it
long lasting stimms makes stimms last 20 secs instead of 15 secs
i dont know if it actually affects the stimm supply augment for adding the lingering 15s effect
it's not worth the point though
Long lasting doesnt do shit for crate
And blessed stimms is pretty pointless for it too since crate already clears corruption
Cowbar
Woah kat calm down ok
I could be dancing around crushers takin them down one by one with my shivs. Then a crusher from the backrope charges a overhead, goes through another crusher and I see it as it's coming down and I'm splattered. No revive either because it just instant kills
Wait people die to blight ?? 
For that you have an option
For crate you don’t
Thats why its dogshit
Not to mention; blessed stimm works for crate so others when they kill get their corruption healed up… but… the crate is doing that already…
Dogshit design
block efficiency work on parry?
Crate builds have effectively 29 talents
Just like indomitable ogryns cause mandatory 5% tdr grey node on a class with already high tdr & dr
No
Its not a block
Get stamina if you want to parry more
been praciticng devil claw vs crusher.. its been... intersting
guys if i have around 30$ is that enough to buy both Arbites and Hivescum? let alone deluxes?
@mighty belfry Hey mate Finese stim on a pure melee build with shivs is good against armored lads inplace of rending right? Becuase of the multiplier that hsivs has for finese.
Forget about the deluxe; paying for pretty pixels on a game you most likely won’t stick is pepega move
eh. why not.
ok, devil claw vs mauler pretty easy by comparison, but damn its slow vs crushers
and its not even fair vs ragers, had to check if i had invul turned off
screw it i want a funky shotgun
arbites it is
try convincing me otherwise if ya wish
Time the parries
They're complete opposites. You want tankier but slower? And alot of staggering and control, pick Arbites. if you want glass cannon but fast, Hivescum. But in terms of class fantasy and drip/personalities Arbites wins all the way. (This is coming from a hibescum main)
Do what you like
Just don’t get a deluxe imo; not worth it

i dont even have warframe
age rating -_-
what about it
15 -_-
besides my dad has account stuff on my stuff
so yeah.
Ok wait 3 more years then
HOL UP
You are 15… and play Darktide… a brutal horde shooter with vicera, mutilation, blood & pain
why have you been asking about ages? Twice so far just today.... hm...... 
But warframe ain’t for you cause 15?
my dad is yet to increase my accoutn age
You either trolling or stupid
no
Oh…
That explains alot
Well ask him
Or better
Be useful; do chores, ask if he needs help, take the initiative
Work for it

somehow GOW4 has a higher rating than all the others ;-;
Back during The Burning Crusade we had a guild vote as to whether Glint's 12 year old brother Shadow could raid with us
We voted yes and he was goated
I was like 15 and was mediocre and cried during a raid bc I wasn't in the group that got all the good dps buffs
I was 15 playing wow and sad cusi couldnt make it to main raid gorup cus i sucked
That was my not getting let into art school moment
The world will regret that decision.
(That's a hitler reference to the uninitiated)
eh. lemme ask him 2 things rq.
nvm 1 thing.
because ive asked him before about increasing it.
he says that he picks what the supposed old enough age is.
and it'll most likely be a maturity thing.
what the hell, i can just parry sword cap forever
i wonder how well this works on rinda
i just spam parry
wow that was eay
i once parry-stringed a Plague Ogryn, keeping aggro for the entire time my friends were blitzing it :]
Yes; the only things you cannot parry are grabs & explosions
And ranged

This makes sense, right? RIGHT?
You can also pop the stimm first to shave a few seconds off the cycle
But then you have to dodge back into the aoe everytime
Wouldnt popping the stimm first make it take longer to refresh it?
The buffs stack
Since the cooldown only starts when the effect ends
I mean the stimm cooldown
It doesnt lengthen the 72s cycle i describe
Bc that is reliant on ability CD
But it does reduce the chance that Practice Deployment lets you skip back to step 1 ahead of time

TOTAL CYCLE DURATION = 72s or less
MINIMUM BUFF UPTIME = 40s (55%)
Desperado (the blessing thay gives +20% crit chance on dodge not the ability) is really good for dual stubs
Specially the spin shots
that makes sense but if im using it to jsut get the annoying lads to stop shooting at me so i can close the distance is it the best?
cus i am ap ure melee build
Spin shots have huge finesse scaling so more crit chance is really good for it
Use bistol
does a dodge count as a slide for that blessing
I have been converted to the toxin sword, but I take nades and hypercrit tho
Do you mean does a slide count as a dodge?
yeah sorry
like if i have my guns out and forward slide bullets
but 30$ is enough for both
what if i dodge with my shivs, if i pull out the pistols do i get the buff?
No
darn
Why elites damage on knife?
Something something breakpoints
I have carpace and unyielding no my shivs. Because there's simply nto enough dmg on thsoe fucking carapace packs
Yeah.
Preference.
Oh to clarify, its not the finesse multiplier that dictates why you go finesse stimm
Shiv ADMs are already really good and Uncanny makes them better if you use it. So you can afford to give up rending on your stimm
ADMs?
Armor damage modifier
ah okay
what blessings would you reccomend on ye ol shivs?
also i noticed cleaving normal hoards like mobien 21st is a pain. but i assume nbothing can be done with that with shivs?
Goblin. Is the lack of HC in your build only due to blackouts? Or Am i missing something?
Yes.
The regen eating
Is very noticeable on that setup
If you're not using them
I'd recommend it.
Because you'll get crazy horde cleaves
Ok did that. You took virulent strain instead of toxic mania. For big bois and monstrosities?
Yep.
How does a tertium welcome works with perfect strike?
It just gives you more melee damage on first target for overkill transferring
Any mix of riposte + precog + uncanny
I like riposte precog personally
can't you just punch them anyway
And put channeled aggression on
beta cuck
Shiv base cleave actually took a pretty big hit with the balancing update
Battering strikes is a good idea to take
didn't they just revert it back to launch value
Were they like that at launch?
anyway knife win again
I tried executor. Turns out you kill too fast for it to have more than 1.8ish average stack. So sad.
def go into havoc
That was in Mael. Going to havoc won't make that much of a difference.
you think you have enough rending without it in havoc rotten armor?
At least you fuck bosses. But there's other way to do it..
needler moment
Yeah. I need to stop using it.
Does lethal prox work with chem nade too?
Explosions AOE
critical chance increase on shivs doesnt increase the dmg of the crit itself right
yeah think im sticking to uncanny and precog for shis
uncanny riposte is much better
Any good ranged alternatives to needle pistol? Have had some trouble in havoc teams without dedicated ranged/special sniping
you can build shiv to have like 72.5% consistent crit adrenaline and more with dependency
tbh ranged is fine for needler
the other option is bpistol
but bp is ass and you only have 8 round per mag
you have to 2 tap everything
Yeah it’s fine just the small magazine has problems when it’s like 10 reapers and 15 gunners and no one is shooting them T.T
Yeah I know the density of them sometimes on havoc 40 means it just takes a while
or you can just run at them and melee tbh
stripped down on class that have infinite stamina
I am aware
With channeled aggression, ya
Heck you don't even need that. Shiv heavies already have a great carapace ADM
But it is nice to have.
shiv heavy + uincanny is already 100% adm
They're asking about without uncanny though
Which is also completely valid for shivs.
make horde clear kind of a struggle because flak adm
Precog helps a lot with flak.
ADMs aren't bad enough that simply beefing the hell out of your damage won't also suffice.
fuck it ill run precog ripost
Are you running hyperviolence and/or hypercrit?
Get someone else that can apply brittle and go for finesse on stim for some JUICY hyper critical procs
both and full rmp talents
purem elee build
You'll be fine then.
The rending on rampage will bridge the carapace gap
Try to mix heavies into your combos for mixed horde clear
You want to get a big hit in to start the hyperviolence ramp
oo good clal
it is better
At least it is now
is mk6 the one that swings wide
Yeah
That swipe is insane at abusing hyperviolence ramping.
the wide swing have deceptively good single target damage
so even if you cant pa spam it good
Also has higher cleave than you'd think for a knife
light does "worse damage" than shiv but hyperv my goat
And push attack also has very deceptive range.
Push attack light light
There you go.
Light do damage
so u dont bring rending rmapage talent?
I do now because the tree is compressed enough to fit it in.
Before, I didn't.
And it was still really good to run riposte precog
I know @limber cradle ended up liking it a lot when they tried it.
Thing is, riposte precog
Creates insane overkill damage on hordes
That ramps up more and more until you go over to a crusher and just nuke them
It's the setup that made me one shot Rodidn't in Havoc 40 lol
with knife or shiv
Shiv.
It's definitely very much possible with knife though.
Just. Not likely to happen to an extreme like that most of the time.
Stars need to align for that kind of damage on a boss.
what would you reccomend as blessings and perks on the knife
Same thing but uncanny is way more valuable for knife.
How's the hsword special now?
Good.
You should be using specials in your combos a lot.
i tend to loop h1 special on the 7 but looking at path guide maybe i should follow with lights too
also what do you put on the dual stubs in a melee build?
desperado/run and gun/pinning fire
thhx
run&gun, sustained fire
PF is not good cuz it's not good at stagger beyond the spin shots
To each their own
To be fair, people still willingly play staff psyker so maybe there's a bit of madness in everyone
Yes.
The light after special is, also technically its own special attack.
Medium stagger. Ignores hit mass override from carapace.
It's very good for keeping control of a horde.
Why is that your preference fivehead 
I don't like ragers
And splash damage
their both 18$ in aus.
Understandable
why cant i pick up stims with hive scumm?
You have your own stim, the Cartel Special.
but it doesnt heal
😭
or im doing it wrong
Damn dawg, that's crazy. Almost like a new mechanic you have to account for.
i have 30$. each of the DLC classes are 18$ AUSD. which one do i get.
What level are you on scum
No one likes cops
Be scum
you can tag the stim and ask your teammates to cleanse you
23
That requires teammates with brains and typing
but funny shotgun
Alright.
Your Cartel Special basically disallows you from picking up stimms.
funny shotgun = loud dakka
All you got is your own home cooked stimm
scum has more unique guns than the dog molester
Now I know
but shotgun = dakka
untrue
hmmmmmmmm
cops lie
shotgun dakka or drugs.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
bcuz funny doggo is there too
ykw fuck it i want drugs
Good lad
We'll get you started on some bongs and before you know it you'll be shelving pingers mainlining heroin
Yay 😄
[laughs in PC]
I actually don't think console players can see text chat during the match. Only at the end
I’m on pc too
Speaking of stimms
Just like me and women
There is nothing
[PING]
"hit me"
More maddening to me
two words kindred
I’ll hit you all night
JUST FUCKING TAKE IT
Because free attack speed wtf
I don’t leave stims behind
If it's something like desperado, I'll literally pop my ability just so I get value from eating a concentration stim before I move on
I had someone do that a bunch in a havoc last night
If I walk out of the room and there is an enemy, there will no longer be an enemy
And I told them, "embrace the drugs, stop leaving them behind!"
When I'm playing my scum, nothing hurts more than having to pass by every stim
Good ones too, like yellows and reds
SAME
I hate not being able to even buy them for your strike team in Expeditions
You straight up cannot interact with them
We have so much spare salvage because Im orbiting the team like the angriest electron
When you get a team that actually knows to stimm you when they're not gonna use it, it's a wonderful experience
Just lemme buy the ogryn who just joined with half HP and 0 fucking resources a stim
They should've given us a Killing Floor "throw dosh" button
Or at least a bank terminal to deposit spare cash in
So many times Im literally sitting there with full hands, full ammo + grenades, but one teammate is on the poverty line and I can't do anything for them
My good scum, what blessings are good on the tac axe?
I run shred and head taker but BruMom over shred is common
And unyielding/cara cause that's just my havoc default to throw on basically any weapon outside a handful
You can stare at them while you shoot once and buy more ammo to get that one penance faster
There a good way to use the crowbar
Decapitator + all or nothing
Make sure you take Regained Posture aswell
With Rampage, preferably
And Splash Damage
What bout the bonesaw
Nah
Shivs=TAxe=Knife ime
I'd argue tac axe is better because it actually has stagger and brutal momentum with hyperviolence
Is not very balanced.
Would thunderous + head taker work on chaxe
just do the normal headtaker + slaughterer combo
My guy pulls tons of bitches
Is running max stam on tac axe good good 🤔
As a perk? No
+25% damage vs armor is way better than +4% attack speed
Ah yeah as a perk been trying to get. Third stam curios but ain't dropping
i just spent 25k melk bucks on curios
literally zero 21% health, 17% tough or 3 stam
but i have like 9 stam, 1 max health and 2 max tough anyway so it doesnt matter
Hah
unlucky
I didn't realize that was a man
It's him, he's bitches
im just out here pulling my hawg
Scum all over the screen
🤣 🤣 🤣 🍆
Hive Scum
HogCranker
@mighty belfry was it you that was obsessed with health maxxing scum awhile ago?
Not obsessed.
But I was basically saying it's better than people give it credit for.
Fat scum
As it turns out
45% damage reduction does wonders for toughness retention when you need it.
"New Mod Showcase"
Enemies highlighted
Ain't no fucking way

Welp, the sloptuber has now made the populace aware of modded wallhacks.
Great.
you can tell he's passionate about the game when he's titling videos "sloptide slupdate" lmao
blud has no marketable skills and no way to get off the train for a game he hates
Ridiculous take
what are basic crit chances of dual autopistols and dual stub pistols?
autopistols ROF are probably better choice for Vulture's dodge uptime, right?
probably but you don't really need vulture's dodge
how so?
i am not super great, starting to getting hang of auric, but still, something to survive for me is always needed .)
i know that desperado makes u dodge ranged attacks, but for melee and if it is on CD, i thought it could help a lot
it kinda creates a bad habit and situations where you're relying on vulture's dodge and an unlucky streak makes you not have vulture's dodge when you need it
you'd have to be quite unlucky for guns like dual autopistols, vraks and shredder to not activate vulture's dodge but it's possible even with 30% crit
i'd just rather use scum's powered up dodges, nimble+jittery or even alley rat is more than enough to create the distances you need
i guess, even with pistols i will always try to dodge melee anyway
i always use nimble, my reactions arent that good and fps sometimes make it even harder, when i hear the sound of enemy attacking me behind, when should i dodge? when the sound stop or right away? to get perfect counting dodge
answered in psyker chat
You practice; you improve
rough game
psyker kept licking the floor
happy with no downs and 260 health damage taken
So true bestie
Zeus pls
Ovenproof's extension
this video absolutely must be 20 minutes long btw
the only way to fit all the info in
Yeah its almost as if you're incentivised to pad out and churn out content or you won't stay on people's youtube feeds
I ❤️ the algo
Rage sells
Oi, you lads ok today? Been getting toxic HS players all morning for some reason.
Toxin is a pretty good DoT that’s why
Jokes asides, have the usual shit zealots moved out to HS or something. I don't see that many bad zealots nowadays
Probably agree with that sentiment
But jerks are their own class they don’t congregate on just one
Agreed on that. Just fuckin' weird getting two in a row like that. One of them bitched at a player going down and quitting which is understandable but then THEY go down and... rage quitted instantly. Like, dude, we serious here?
Yeah had somebody like that yesterday was throwing out the regarded word and calling people dumb for not wanting to use mics with him and he was next to useless (scum)
I think scum is just shiny new and has a bit of a main character vibe with how good some of the talents are
Does have MC energy, yeah. The other HS was the kind to run across the map but was actually decent but it was clear that the others in the team didn't know what was going on all too well (expedition on this one) We got clobbered by two bosses as the end and he just called everyone worthless MFers. I was trying to keep the team up and he was just fuckin' off and not helping with hordes.
Ah yes expeditions. Spread out and die mode. Not really a fan personally. Especially collecting a resource that I can spend on……
I like the change of pace and go to it from time to time but I 100% understand why people ain't fussed on it. I'm the same with Mortis in a way
Also, it REALLY needs a training mission to teach people what to do
The whole game needs a way to teach mechanics and strategies to players. Like why crit damage perks are mid
Also map positioning
There is this one map, where after the starting position and the first med station you enter this half open area with sand where there are 3 different ways to advance. One straight ahead through a tunnel (demon hosts like to spawn there), one right above that over stairs and railing and one to the left that leads to an open room behind which the rescue point is, which also leads left to the Elevator and the next sequence.
I HATE HATE HATE HATE IT when people go left,because the usually get boxed in and die, while going above on the elevated sidewalk is WAY BETTER
whats the best stim path for a desperado build? is it reduced cooldown? Or whats the best overall stimpath in general
Up to you and build dependent
im mainly going for desperado
Yeah it’s really up to you
Top left is probably the least interesting
Bottom left is good for desperado due to reload speed
Top right is good due to rending and damage
Bottom right is good due to cdr
use cooldown for more desperado uptime or strength+rending to use during carapace assaults
hmm, ok
i have both bottom paths filled out cause when im done with desperado ill stim and take out my melee and use that till its done charging
does the 6.25% reduced cooldown stack on top of the 75% one as well?
theres 4 or 5 of the 6.25 ones if im not mistaken
yeah but i typically dont really use the cooldown for 1 sec on kill anymore
i just use the consistent +25%
i figured that one would be better for just total overall reduction
it is kinda more consistent
sometimes you're not getting a kill every second
cdr also has diminishing returns
true but im only ever using desperado in a big fight where theres tons of enemies, but i can see how the consistency would be better overall
the cd only starts when you're out of desperado and if you kill the blob of poxwalkers too fast you also dont get to proc it anymore
its just comfier thats all
mostly preference tho
u either dont get enough kills or kill everything and dont have anything to kill anymore
or ur teammates can kill them too
