skitarii-class

[indigo kestrel]

are numbers even allowed in naming?

[balmy birch]

iirc they should be allowed for Skitarii

I'm not sure; I never tried during my tests

[brittle mortar]

yeah quickpaw said they'd get numbers (like cybermastiffs)

[acoustic dagger]

Most excellent

[dense solstice]

Understandable

[indigo kestrel]

in that case Skitarii 01100110011101010110001101101011 will be reporting for duty real soon

[boreal reef]

Can you ask them to allow spaces in names as well

[acoustic dagger]

That's gonna be above the character limit

[brittle mortar]

if only

[acoustic dagger]

Your name can be like 25 chars long

[brittle mortar]

I've wanted that since release

[boreal reef]

[balmy birch]

but hey the upside (for me at least) is that the no-spaces thing means I gotta get creative with hyphens

for a while some of my characters evoked Blackout Club Voice-esque names

Call-The-Shot for ex.

[acoustic dagger]

All my char names are single word names so I didn't really mind

[brittle mortar]

it just makes me go mononymic because I hate hyphens

[acoustic dagger]

My skit name will be hyphenated

[brittle mortar]

Rawne, Caligula, Hecate, Gormog, Godwyn, oh I forgot about my Scum. he's actually called Nine-Toes. but that looks like it fits so w/e

[balmy birch]

honestly considering how much AI uses it, a take I've grown to agree with

[boreal reef]

Em dashes are the things AI uses a lot

[balmy birch]

I've sort of realized all of my characters' names come from mythology

except my Psyker and Zealot, Richtofen and Cricket respectfully

[acoustic dagger]

Constantina, Noel, Tacita, Valeria, Sledge, Sabot, Cynthxa, Clerinell. I'm basic af lol

[brittle mortar]

nothing wrong with names that look like they'd fit in the lore

that's what I like to go for

[balmy birch]

I've Hercules, Scylla (and Charybdis), Banshee and my main, Samedi

[acoustic dagger]

Yee

I'm just fond of old roman and old roman adjacent names in general

Made an exceptio for ogryn though

[balmy birch]

in general I like to go for codename (or as I pointed out, mythological) names

which is why Richtofen sticks out like a sore thumb but there is lore behind that name

[brittle mortar]

yeah those are evergreen bangers

Caligula for my Zealot is one of my favourites for that reason because it looks appropriate but is also just a good name for such a delusional piece of shit as the male Agitator lolol

[balmy birch]

Richtofen was the first character I ever made during the ol' days of the 2024 CBT

and no I will never stop calling it that

I remember, I forgot which CM it was, but they went around asking people 'did you enjoy your CBT session' during that period

speaking of old memories I still have a screenshot somewhere

I might try and find it later

a comment going like 'mfers be like fatshark lied there's only 60 weapons and then only use two'
and idk that comment never stopped being true

[acoustic dagger]

My pc was too weak to play dt when it released, I upgraded and started playing shortly after the unlocked and loaded update

[brittle mortar]

You didn't miss much then

Good time to get started

I fell in love with DT at release but it had sooo many problems especially regarding weapon crafting

[balmy birch]

same, I think DT's problems were plain to see for everyone tbh

[acoustic dagger]

I was dissuaded at getting on earlier because my entire discord friend circle which previously played the game (like dozen or so people) all quit the game for good because they couldn't deal with the old fuck-fuck crafting system

[balmy birch]

it simply needed more time in the oven

[acoustic dagger]

So when I heard that went away I decided to get in on the action

[brittle mortar]

Yeah they really missed the boat on making this game a big success by releasing it in the state it was in

[storm mountain]

YOU CANT RUN FROM ME.

[balmy birch]

remember when it launched and there was like

[acoustic dagger]

Been loving the hell out of the game since, 1.6k hours since lol

[storm mountain]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SOUR ONES.

[balmy birch]

100k people playing

[brittle mortar]

But it's not for everyone regardless

[balmy birch]

sour skittles are the objectively best skittles bro

[storm mountain]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'SOUR' SKITARII.

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/HHZz1w_WgAAkfgn.webp

[boreal reef]

The vanguards are the sour ones

[brittle mortar]

My friends quit playing mostly because they thought it was like, too intense? The game demands quite a lot of your attention and after 20 to 40 hours they'd seen the maps and stuff and realised they just didn't want to keep paying the same thing over and over with increasing intensity

Meanwhile I was like

[balmy birch]

idk someone said skittles and I am stating the objective fact that sour skittles are the best skittles

[brittle mortar]

INJECT THIS SHIT STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINS DOG

[acoustic dagger]

Yeah I'd say it's just about the most demanding and challenging games I've played. It's in a flux obviously due to balance changes over the years and playing with randoms but highest difficulty stuff makes me experience sensory overload sometimes

[balmy birch]

tide games in general aren't for the average audience, it takes a special type of gamer to actively want to juggle various hordes of enemies that each require their own way of handling them

[brittle mortar]

These same friends also didn't beat promised consort radahn so

[storm mountain]

Im autistic as fuck and I love darktide 🔥

[brittle mortar]

Just not built different

[acoustic dagger]

The "DIE ALONE OR SUFFER TOGETHER" phrase on the steam store page is some of the realest shit stated aboht darktide

[brittle mortar]

But I did. With a longsword and a dream.

[storm mountain]

they should like

totally release skitarii right now unoptimized

itd be so funny

[acoustic dagger]

The fact I also just love the game and it's setting is also a factor though. Wanted a 40k game where I play a john nobody ever since I first played dawn of war in early 2010s. Would not have stuck around trying to master the game otherwise I'm ngl lol

[brittle mortar]

It was never in doubt (I hated it so much)

[balmy birch]

tbf the tide games are maybe the best thing that happened to me in the last 6 years
unlike my fucking job

[jagged marten]

I made alot of friends through this server so i guess thats a plus

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1462923844519067711.webp?size=96&animated=true

[brittle mortar]

Yeah darktide has been a great community to be a part of

[acoustic dagger]

Ya that's always cool

[brittle mortar]

I was a Dota 2 player before this and Darktide is so much better for my mental

[balmy birch]

oh shit my childhood game sorta kinda

[burnt pelican]

team game teach you to hate other

[balmy birch]

grew up with Warcraft 3

[acoustic dagger]

I don't really feel like a part of the community tbh but I enjoy chatting about the game for sure

[young panther]

You know I check this chat sometimes without saying anything

[acoustic dagger]

We know

[young panther]

And it's fascinating to see the two camps of people where one calls them Skittles and the other Skitties

[acoustic dagger]

For every active chatter there are 10 lurkers

[brittle mortar]

I don't really know how it happened since I just showed up in this server to learn more about how to play Ogryn aaaaand oops I'm a mod on the subreddit/discord/forums/twitch stream and a playtester and a content creator

[young panther]

That's how I got mod on most roleplay servers where I had mod

[brittle mortar]

Haha the testers also called them skittles

[acoustic dagger]

Yeah it's always a pleasant surprise when you randomly get invited to be a mod etc

[storm mountain]

I call them what they are. Twinks.

[young panther]

I wonder where the two ideas came from or if people just independently decide to pick one of those two options

[acoustic dagger]

It's nice to be recognized as a level headed person

[young panther]

Skittles definitely feels like people could come up with on their own

Skitty though 🤔

[acoustic dagger]

That's the twin linked stubber lump...

[white blade]

I call them Skittles cause of tabletop

[acoustic dagger]

I call them skits because less characters to type

[balmy birch]

I call them 'oh shit I still have a box of them left unopened, unassembled and unpainted'

[jagged marten]

Skittering skitarii

[white blade]

Could be tech thralls

[balmy birch]

I straight up have a box of Skitarii Rangers somewhere in my apartment

[storm mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/overwatch-balderich-charge-gif-12822782

I need to know

If I can do that as Skitarii. . .

[white blade]

I have a bunch of marines but I haven't played consistently in a few years

[brittle mortar]

you're wondering if the skitarii are powered by jet engines?

[storm mountain]

No I wanna know if I can have the servo-skull to let me trimp the map

Let me get to the extract point in 35 seconds without doing anything

[violet garnet]

Are Skitarii in the game yet. Im out of PS Plus

Femboy skitarii as a joke is funny like

Just like the rest of 40k "memes"

[acoustic dagger]

I mean the drawing not the joke itself

[hazy pawn]

Not realy as far as i see, also, i didnt see it from some one else.

[hazy pawn]

If joke funny once - its a bad joke, or you not using it properly.|| (or you are boring >:) ||

[noble turret]

Correct

[acoustic dagger]

You're not gonna believe this

Most 40k memes are indeed... bad

[hazy pawn]

Well... yes, sometimes... but that meme is funny, deserve to live(especialy after talks about skitarii body form), and the only problem, is that i have only this picture, because I WONT GO to find another, i dont want that shit in my serch history.

Adept and adeptus is different words.

[night berry]

I didnt think the joke could be killed further but you did it

congratulations

[hazy pawn]

I just notice the damn letter difference.

[unique obsidian]

an adaptable adept of the adeptus mechanicus

[night berry]

nah, yall just have no sense of whimsy and happiness

[unique obsidian]

Omnissiah also tells me they're adopted 😥

Do you think Skitarii characters will be allowed to have numbers in their name, same way the cyber-mastiff has?

[hazy pawn]

I hope so.
A lot of people that part of mechanicus cult have thoes numbers.

[little mesa]

what did I do

[hazy pawn]

Funnily enough, thoes numbers might mean a lot, one of thing - number of clone...

[unique obsidian]

if numbers will be allowed for Skitarii, expect to see a shitload of C-3PO's

oh no, you killed it, if I have to explain it

[hazy pawn]

I just dont get it, was it joke or rage... One of things people of mechanical cult known for, is low social skills/awareness.

I do wonder which of our Rejects will get along nicely with the Skitarii and which will hate them?

[hazy pawn]

Depends, skits is as veterans are soldiers too, and some are more human in mind.

[unique obsidian]

they're still Mechanicus so following strict protocol is probably in their blood/circuits/whatever

[hazy pawn]

They are not "Mechanicus".

Its different castes.

One cannot become another.

[unique obsidian]

as an eternal Psyker Loner player I do wonder how my spark-head will interact with the metal boys

somehow I suspect he will hate them

[hazy pawn]

I expect the same way as arbiter or zealot does.

[unique obsidian]

yeah Loner doesn't like people who are fanatically loyal and serve greater authority

despite sounding like a self-centred prick Loner quite often takes pity in the fate of the little man in the Imperium, he feels for the regular citizens

[boreal reef]

The loner would probably regard the skitarii with pity

They don't seem to revile and persecute psykers to the same extent that zealots do

[unique obsidian]

True, but the loner might treat the skitarii the same way he does the Arbites probably

since both the Arbites and the Skitarii serve a "greater entity". One is brutaly loyal to the Lex and the Imperium, the other is brutaly loyal to the Omnissiah

[hazy pawn]

Well, as people in fatshark said, there is really low content on skiits, so this is good opportunity to find new chemistry in squad of different warhammer archetypes.

Information that i know, i got from people who had to explore it, or got it from other who did, and a bit from homebrew with them.

[unique obsidian]

On June 22nd all vox communications in Darktide will just be one phrase: «Skitarii tomorrow!»

[boreal reef]

I'm thinking it would be funny to have a skitarius named "Ate-All-The-Powder" and occasionally drop a "skitarii tomorrow" in the mourningstar chat well after the class has already been released

[unique obsidian]

Do it

I'd love to hear new vox lines from our old man KX-8 about the Skitarii

[silk lantern]

Cobes

[regal cobalt]

Coatium

Or

Robeium

Choose your drug

[lunar flint]

Radium carbine? Entire squad takes steady corruption damage throughout the mission, especially the toaster boy carrying it.

Extra damage when it's fired.

[lunar flint]

Why M1 and not Lee-Enfield? GW is British.

[silk lantern]

Cause funny ping

Also isnt lee enfield bolt action

[lean glen]

No bolt on the weapon, and it would seem that a lot of media shows it as a semi-automatic rifle.

[copper raven]

There should be a meme of arbitrator and hive ganger side eyeing skitarii for having double quantity of unique weapons compared to them

[lean glen]

It is, though it's one of the nicer actions of it's period.

[silk lantern]

Skitarii has the same amount as scum

[lunar flint]

Yes but galvanic rifle is supposed to be modelled after a "Martian hunting flintlock", so neither bolt-action nor semi-auto.

[silk lantern]

3 melees and 3 ranged

And arb has 2 melee and 2 ranged

Idk where you got that skitarii has double their amount

[lunar flint]

Stock looks like the M1, but front looks more like Lee-Enfield with added metal.

[copper raven]

What

But 5

[lunar flint]

Unlike many other 40k weapons, there doesn't seem to be pistol/special/heavy versions of the galvanic rifle.

[silk lantern]

There's a carbine Galvanic

[silk lantern]

[jagged marten]

https://klipy.com/gifs/steven-ogg-rifle

[copper raven]

I don't know

But 5 exists

I am point it out

[pseudo meteor]

Thicctuna pls let the galvanic rifle have a ping like the m1 garand

[lime mauve]

Or Kruber's repeating handgun for that matter

[silk lantern]

Debatable

[hazy pawn]

Funnily, skiits who wield those - doesn't care or suffer from it, either because of some special augmentation, or just the amount of flesh they have.

[hazy pawn]

Ogryns happy for metal man.
Ogryns hope to get toys too.

[lavish smelt]

No, skits do get more and more irradiated as they use it. It will eventually kill them

[lunar flint]

Judging from the deluxe skins, we're getting galvanic rifle, arc rifle, phosphor blast pistol, paired transonic blade/razor, arc maul, and admech power sword.

So no radium carbine.

Unless they're not showing all the deluxe skins off.

[silk lantern]

It has 6 skins included

So skitarii will have 6 exclusive weapons

[lunar flint]

Galvanic rifle fires a guided projectile that produces a massive electric discharge on impact. Standard issue for Skitarii Rangers.

Arc rifle just fires a electric blast that can chain between targets. Considered a "special weapon" like flamers and plasma guns, usually issued one or two per squad. Added effect against vehicles and robots.

[gusty siren]

we saw a snippet of the galvanic rifle in action with the developer talk video

[grand saffron]

Sci fi m1 garand ass iron sights

I dig it so hard

[lunar flint]

Phosphor blast pistol fires gobs of napalm that mark the target, increasing accuracy for other squad members. Squad leader weapon usually.

[gusty siren]

it has the garand's operating rod on the left side

semi automatic SMLE-garand thing

in space

[lunar flint]

Power sword is power sword.

[silk lantern]

The question is how this one will work like

[lunar flint]

Arc maul is a super shock maul deadly to machines.

[silk lantern]

My guess is either another relic blade, completely new activation gimmick, or no activation gimmick and its just active all the time

[gusty siren]

as far as i know, the transonic blades should be active at all times?

[lunar flint]

Transonic Blade and Razor are super vibro weapons.

[grand saffron]

Yeah they should just be perma active

Literally kill people with vibes

[gusty siren]

Clearly when you use the powersword special it deletes the room with pure speculation and hype

[grand saffron]

Hype sword hype sword

[gusty siren]

and if it doesnt then it is my duty to scream on The Reddit about something they never promised..

Yees.....

[lunar flint]

The first few transonic hits appear to do nothing, then they "find the right frequency" to penetrate armor and slice the target to ribbons.

[gusty siren]

hmm

built-in repeated strike gimmick

[lunar flint]

Also a bit like a martial arts swordmaster whose strikes have a delayed effect, because when they find the right frequency the strikes are so clean the enemy takes a few heartbeats to fall to pieces.

[mellow gull]

if it does work like that the special attack would probably be a weak tuning strike that guarentees the next hit is in frequency or just builds up bajillion repeated strikes in one hit

[lunar flint]

The transonic weapons are really nasty on TT.

[gusty siren]

with all that flavor text i'd hope so

doohickies find the perfect resonant frequency to just shred things on a molecular level

while otherwise just being really good blades regardless

[lunar flint]

It's like 16% chance per hit to slice clean through terminator armor. Or tank armor, for that matter.

[gilded osprey]

are we thinking on going for the dual weapons first or the single sword

[gusty siren]

next to it and yeah now you're not liking it at all

hehe

[jagged marten]

the power sword seems interresting

[lunar flint]

Dual weapon is transonic. Single looks like the admech power sword you can arm Skitarii squad leaders with.

[jagged marten]

the skitarii on the left seems to use the weapon like a greatsword with 2 hands

[gusty siren]

i'll definitely be trying the twin transonics ASAP

[gilded osprey]

ah are we getting new kerillian greatsword

[gilded osprey]

thats nice

[gilded osprey]

its a shame they were run off the internet

[delicate tundra]

yes

[jagged marten]

if the power sword is an elven greatsword hmmm

[silk lantern]

Wait really

I didnt notice that

[gilded osprey]

and the dagger and sword is kerillian's...

[silk lantern]

Damn

Tbh im pretty sure most melee weapons have the character hold it with two hands when doing heavy attacks

[lunar flint]

Holding the activated blade. Nice.

[gilded osprey]

it seems a bit longer than other 1 handed sword

[lunar flint]

The admech power sword specifically has a serrated ricasso where the Skittle is holding it.

[young panther]

maybe the skittle is not quite holding the activated blade just touching the power supply ?

[lunar flint]

Below image right figure is another Skitarii Vanguard Alpha with Phosphor Blast Pistol and Power Sword: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/7/7b/Lucius_Vanguard.png/revision/latest?cb=20150420200229.

[jagged marten]

wait

the skitarii is using it as a katana

how odd

[lunar flint]

One on the left is a regular Vanguard with the infamous Radium Carbine. Because of their weapon Vanguard usually don't have any teeth, hair, or even skin due to severe rad poisoning. Nobody in the Admech cares, least of all the Vanguard themselves.

Too bad they don't have radaway in 40k.

Skitarii warplate is basically carapace armor over a Dune-style still suit.

Due to all the bionics, Skitarii also have a 33% chance to just ignore any damaging hit.

[glad pilot]

new

[honest magnet]

where new info

[spring ether]

the new info channel

[viscid sparrow]

Gameslantern got the Arbites talent tree & base stats on their website a few days before release.

[heavy raptor]

Do we know when the media embargo will end?

[lean glen]

Probably soonish? I remember getting the HS stuff soon after the trailer. Also, how do we feel on the reveal trailer for the Skits? I think it was good even though we didn't see all that much

[viscid sparrow]

I know chocoB uploaded their showcase of the Arbites on June 19th, assuming it holds the same for Skitarii.

[lean glen]

The BIG thing for me right now is also what weapons we are getting. With Skit being a new body type (breed in the code), will we have access to the human weapons or are we running in with ONLY our skitarii only weapons?

[heavy raptor]

I imagine we'll be able to use a bunch of the other universal weapons

[viscid sparrow]

They used the Veteran victory poses for some of the screenshots, so they share the human animations/skeleton

[heavy raptor]

Like caxe, taxe, chain sword, dclaw etc

[white blade]

Skitarii comes out, best weapons for it are CAxe and Vraks

[lean glen]

Maybe... what if we also get the power falchion? We have our own power sword after all\

[silk lantern]

lol

[viscid sparrow]

First Arbites Dev Blog was released on the 30th of May

[silk lantern]

falchion

[viscid sparrow]

That was about the Cyber-Mastiff

[minor pebble]

They could absolutely just rob veteran of all their unique guns bar the shovel and hellebore lol

[silk lantern]

hopefully they dont give power sword to a class with dlc priviledges

[viscid sparrow]

I don't think they'll be getting any "low-tech" weapons, so no auto/stubguns or non-chain or power melee weapons

[honest magnet]

aren't all skitarii unique weapon already showed in the deluxe DLC?

[lean glen]

Yeah, we got a view of those

[honest magnet]

i doubt fatshark gonna give skitarii other class unique weapon

[silk lantern]

they did it with arb

crusher was zealot exclusive

[white blade]

Duelling Sword was Psyker exclusive originally

[honest magnet]

hmm... fair point

[honest magnet]

this i didn't know

[lean glen]

My thought's exactly. The Falchion would fit that, eh?

[viscid sparrow]

I think the Skitarii having a unique "breed" is more because they have unique character customization options, Arbites and Scum only had unique hairstyles/tattoo options, while Skitarii will likely not share much in way of customization with the other human classes.

[silk lantern]

theyre already getting their own power sword weapon so idk

[lean glen]

The customization for them seems to be wholly unique. I am excited on the voice modulation!

[silk lantern]

depends on how the activation gimmick will work for that weapon

im thinking it'll just be another heat gauge

[lean glen]

Skit's sword needs to be used before it can discharge like the force greatsword. Imagine that

[heavy raptor]

My prediction for the transonic blade: you will need kills to power it up(like the fgs) but once it's powered on it will stay powered as long as you are getting kills

[viscid sparrow]

They are getting their own version of the Arbites Shock Maul.

Although I think they are calling it an Electro-Goad judging by the steam page, probably uses the Arc status instead/in addition to the regular shock status.

[lean glen]

Something else that just came to mind; will the skits get the same cover shooting mechanic that the vets have?

[silk lantern]

prob not

[lean glen]

Damn

[silk lantern]

its pretty pointless

[viscid sparrow]

Calling that a class feature is a bit of a stretch.

[lean glen]

Only the vets can do it, therefore its a class feature

And I'll be real, I do use it from time to time before, and I have no idea if its just me, but it reduces recoil, maybe? I don't know, I like doing it.

[silk lantern]

it doesnt do anything really

[viscid sparrow]

Vets are also suppression immune, probably thinking of that.

[lean glen]

No, like when I am in cover and ADS, you peak over but are still in the cover. I swear, it's good to do if your team can keep the chaff off you and it makes it easier to pick heads of gunners. This might be complete placebo but I just like doing it. Makes me feel like a soldier!

[honest magnet]

id prefer heat gauge :<

[lean glen]

Hence my notion that we get the power falchion as another sword we can use. Like how arbites got th zealot's crusher.

[silk lantern]

i think its more likely we get plasma gun than falchion from vet

[silk lantern]

crusher also works in a completely different way compared to ASM

[mellow storm]

i wonder if this means one of the servo skull customization options will be the capacity to provide healing in some way

[silk lantern]

if skit power sword works off a heat gauge there wouldnt be much of a point in giving them falchion

[silk lantern]

hopefully not

[mellow storm]

agreed, but I think skitarii is gonna get both, tbh

[lean glen]

Damn, really raiding the vet's weapons eh?

[honest magnet]

maybe not healing, perhaps auto revive as long as you stay within a certain range?

[viscid sparrow]

Healing I doubt since it's deliberately limited to medicae servitors, stimms and a few zealot talents, but maybe the ability to revive allies? like the sub-talent for Voice of Command.

[lean glen]

I'm hoping for this. However, I think it would probably remove the weapon from the skull because the skull being able to shoot AND revive might be too powerful

[viscid sparrow]

I think it would keep the default las pistol but you'd be sacrificing an offensive option.

[lean glen]

Maybe, time will tell. Imagine if you can add all the mods on the skull at once

[mellow storm]

there's a good bit of overlap, conceptually and in lore and the ttg, so it's very likely, yeah.

Plasma gun, power sword, and power falchion are all I can think of that would fit and aren't already multiclass standards though

almost certainly can't

[honest magnet]

i probably wouldn't trade my flamethrower for an auto revive tho

[mellow storm]

I expect the servo skull will be akin to the scum's stim; there'll be 3-5 intended build options and you can pick 1.5-2 of them for the thing

[lean glen]

There's just one SKit that's bolted every single weapon to their skull. Hadron orders him to be killed for tech heresy.

[viscid sparrow]

I think the skull will have two default abilities, engage enemies almost certainly works like the Arbites dog. protect targets maybe involves double pinging an ally to send the skull to them?

[mellow storm]

i don't expect it to have any default functionality at all, tbh

[viscid sparrow]

I think the Dev Blog mentioned skull is modified using blitz talents

[inland garden]

😏

[mellow storm]

maybe "will follow you around and do basic attacks at one nearby enemy every so often"

[lean glen]

If that's the case, I am pinging the psyker because the Omnissiah knows they need the help

[mellow storm]

it's not impossible, but they didn't say anything about blitz talents, only that the skull is customizable

i think there's excellent odds it's got its own talent tree akin to the stimm lab

we'll find out though, I suppose

[viscid sparrow]

"Further upgrades to the Blitz ability unlock additional servo skulls, each fitted with specialised functions to expand and reinforce the Skitarii’s lethality against heresy."

"additional servo skulls" is weird wording

[lean glen]

Blitz MIGHT be the skull orders. Like, we get a revive blitz which might be interesting

[mellow storm]

it's definitely weird wording, but that implies to me different marks of servo skulls

[lean glen]

We have the Main Skull bud and we have skulls as grenades maybe?

[mellow storm]

e.g., one with a flame thrower, one with a rapid fire las pistol, one with an arc pistol, etc

having the servo skull be the skitarii blitz makes a huge amount of sense

[viscid sparrow]

Yeah makes sense that they only get one and modify that, rather than getting multiple.

[mellow storm]

I guess I missed that line when I was reading it, but yeah that definitely makes it sound like the servo skull is the skitarii blitz

and you can build into a few different kinds of skull that change how the blitz behaves

[viscid sparrow]

wonder how a potential lone wolf talent would work there, arc grenades are a thing and show up on the deluxe cosmetic

Then again Ogryn penance gear has grenades attached that they don't use in any blitz

[jagged marten]

you can have 3 servoskulls floating in the air

[viscid sparrow]

Has that been stated anywhere? I think one of the leaks mentioned an ability that summoned Servo Skulls.

[jagged marten]

i could swear i saw that we could have 2 additional

[mellow storm]

i don't think there will be a lone wolf equivalent tbh. Part of why I don't think the servo skull will have any combat functionality baseline; it's just a thing you could use to do hacking minigames from a distance or however that works, and you can spec into giving it combat functionality through the blitz

depending on how that works, either the skull gets some basic bitch combat functionality for use as the default blitz, and then all 3 blitzes are different upgrades to the servo skull. Or there's a different default blitz and the skull has no base combat functionality but you can spec into the skull to give it a gun and make it your blitz

[mellow storm]

this has not been mentioned in any official statements, as far as I'm aware

[jagged marten]

gaslit myself again

[lean glen]

Gaslighting yourself is a painful common affliction we all visit upon ourselves

[mellow storm]

I know some people around here were speculating about servoskull swarms and the like, I assume inspired by the awkward wording of that quote diligent mentioned above, but FS hasn't said anything about the skull other than that it's customizable and one of the options is a flamer

[lean glen]

Oh the spiked mohawk of the heretical skulls are dope... Oh no...

[viscid sparrow]

I think the "Core power system" mentioned in the steam description might be their equivalent to the Stimm Lab?

"Their core power systems fuel a wide array of combat abilities, each accessible at different levels and growing in strength as more core power is allocated to them."

Might just be weird wording again and it's just referring to the talent tree but the talent tree is mentioned in another paragraph.

[spring ether]

Skitarii and their emotional support skulls

[mellow storm]

no it is. My thought was the servo skull was part of it, but with that other quote you threw out, I'm now thinking it's put in the blitzes instead

[young panther]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WblMoLUhXTM

We payday these mfers xD

[jagged marten]

this might be the overall class resource

like psyker with peril

[mellow storm]

very possible

[haughty galleon]

For a monetary fee I can tell you guys if you're right or not after the class comes out. 🤝

[viscid sparrow]

Yeah there was that leak mentioning a "capacitance" resource.

[mellow storm]

I could see the class being a builder-spender

fight stuff to build charge, then use abilities to spend charge to do crazy bullshit

[marsh stratus]

just like in the mechanicus games!

[jagged marten]

isnt that cognition?

[marsh stratus]

yeah but it's used very similarly

[humble rock]

Tf2 engie

[vast hound]

mechanicus capstone where they get a kastelan robot

[viscid sparrow]

One thing I noticed about the talent tree is that it seemed to lack any operative modifier nodes, the kind that give stat bonuses like toughness or melee damage, they have been reducing the number those kind of nodes, Hive Scum only have four.

[jagged marten]

they want to put in actually interresting talents instead of stat padding nodes

[dense solstice]

Dunno why but this reminds me of that shotgun from tf 2 that uses resources as ammo

And you get resources back if your shots land

[heady aurora]

widowmaker

[polar dune]

death is conspire

[uncut cloak]

death is constipation

[vast hound]

death is congratulation

[icy lark]

Death is tax deductable

[wet ginkgo]

If we about to really have a servo skull ability or blitz that self revives teammates, i would think is a very slow revive and has limited few charges

[proven storm]

probably costs a blitz charge

[fiery onyx]

And can't be restored from grenade boxes

Instead, a long cooldown

[neat laurel]

yeah i assume it would be a long cooldown like the dog explosion but longer

maybe a minute?

or 2 if there is multiple charges

[proven storm]

same with using it on an objective

since it's implied you can do that

[fiery onyx]

True

[proven storm]

Reddit be like "I hope it's not healing but healing"

[warm pulsar]

[proven storm]

Cleansing wound corruption...

IS HEALING

That's more valuable than the health you get back!

[frank kestrel]

I dont think a lil healing will break anything tbh

Its not like we didnt have any so far

[uncut cloak]

imo it will be healing in the form of reviving allies at range

[proven storm]

It will?
The only class with definative un resourced healing is zealot and that's on a 2 minute cooldown and only works on themselves
Scum can do it if you use a crate meme build and find health stims which again is a resource.

healing on command only costing a blitz is flat out gamebreaking

[frank kestrel]

We have medipacks

[pallid rock]

If they do get a ranged pickup I look forward to the epic crash outs from people getting rezzed still inside the elite blob that killed them

[proven storm]

Which are a resource?

[frank kestrel]

Nah i dont think it will be gamebreaking

The heals might also be a resource

Als might not be a full heal

Maybe only half or a quarter

I think theres way more broken stuff still in the game anyway then a lil heal

[jagged marten]

healing should always be a scarce resource

[pallid rock]

If they had CD heals I think a couple of play testers would have broken NDA to protest lol

[unique obsidian]

if we'll be able to name these little guys, as we can name the cyber mastiff, gonna name mine Bosco

[void ruin]

It would be tbh

No other class would have a healing factor like they would if that were the case

[uncut cloak]

imagine helping your teammates

https://tenor.com/view/brain-empty-brain-out-brain-meme-brain-no-brain-meme-gif-1120718379326435330

Damn

[wet ginkgo]

All I am saying it should not be recharged

It has few uses for the entire duration of mission

[wraith hinge]

Or if it did have a recharge I think it should cost like a single charge of Medicae per use

[jagged marten]

im trusting the playtesters

except that epic cole guy

hes behind that soulblaze buff

[karmic verge]

The only true healing support i can think of in a tide game was saltzpyres warrior priests ultimate upgrade that let it auto revive and heal any damage taken in the last 3 seconds. So it required strict timing

[proven storm]

he is the reason

[karmic verge]

I dont believe that perk broke the game so perhaps smth similar could exist in darktide

[proven storm]

but that couldn't cure you from being on last death

given how darktide health worked a heal would bypass such a mechanic

[young panther]

You know

I rarely use any wound items I see people with like 20 or more wounds
meanwhile I just have those 3 woundse and I wonder "why ?"

[heavy raptor]

Martyrdom

[young panther]

why have a gajillion wounds

[jagged marten]

he is evil

[karmic verge]

True but they could in theory cap it in some way.

Heal up to the next wound so it's basically just a buffed version of existing corruption removal i suppose

[jagged marten]

martyrdom

[karmic verge]

Are they zealots?

[jagged marten]

if you see zealots with 4 wounds its fatmangus

[karmic verge]

If they arent zealots i cant think of a reason

[wraith hinge]

Played with a vet the other day with like a gajilion wounds

[young panther]

I do get a lot of zealots in my games so potentially

I rarely if ever pay attention whether or not the person I am looking at is any of the 4 regular human classe

[karmic verge]

Maybe they plan to die alot

[young panther]

its probably a mix of Veterans and Zealots

[heavy raptor]

Martydom zealots get various buffs per missing wound

[young panther]

but isn't martyrdom only up to 5 stacks ?

[golden goblet]

I hope skibidii has a good fun glass cannon build

[wraith hinge]

Maybe 🤔

[young panther]

you don't need more than 6 wounds maybe 7 wounds

[heavy raptor]

Yes, so you require minimum 6 to get the full benefit

Max you can get is 7 anyway

On heresy+ that is

[balmy birch]

zealots have some stuff that works off of their wounds, like damage resistance if the damage bleeds into the next wound and being empowered for every wound missing
in a way it helps them get a boost when shit hits the fan if you pardon my french

[young panther]

fair enough

I do not have a high opinion of zealot players

for I can at least commend them edging those wounds

[radiant steppe]

Skitarii approved statement

[karmic verge]

I prefer zealotry to the machine god. I feel the zealots are misguided in their faith and dont worship the true aspect of the emperor as the omnissiahs avatar

[prime minnow]

Zealots with 6 Wounds: Real ZealotHeads, Martyrdom Approved

Other Human Classes with 5 wounds: I dont like you

Ogryns with 6 wounds: I REAALLY dont like you

[brittle mortar]

It is now, yes. You can get there with 2 wound curios and the +2 wounds talent so you have 6 total and then you'll be at max stacks with 5 wounds missing iirc.

There's also a zealot build that doesn't use martyrdom but does run the +2 wounds talent and uses the various other talents that interface with wounds for tankiness benefits

It's called "Fatmangus"

That build runs full hp curios too

It's pretty funny and surprisingly good

[muted atlas]

You think they’ll have different coloured cloaks? I know the red is a mechanicus thing because its mars. I would love to use other colours though

[radiant steppe]

Gimme a black cloak for penance

(I know absolutely nothing about lore at all)

[fiery onyx]

give me black clothes with red glow and i will be very happy

[haughty galleon]

It's unfortunate that it got popular because it's a funny build that is exactly the kind of buildcrafting I stand for but it's popular so now I gotta barrel them.

[summer vector]

so ur just a hipster

[haughty galleon]

Yeah that's a good way to summarize my buildcrafting ideology for specifically Zealot.

[dense solstice]

Who the hell even came up with the name for it

[haughty galleon]

My knowledge is it just was a gameslantern build named that, but idk if it goes back further than that.

[wheat timber]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/b/bb/Stygies_VIII_Ranger_Alpha.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20170924222428

Close enough

Honestly kinda like Arbites, they do just look cool by default

[haughty galleon]

Unless I'm missing something with the build it's existed with Zealot since patch 13, the whole non-maxed wound tanking thing was something that I've experimented with for a long time. Don't know what to think about the health curios though, there's a reason they weren't ran prior to fatmangus becoming popular on that build.

[wheat timber]

I always love the honeymoon phase of a new class when you get full stacks of just them

[fiery onyx]

That looks awesome

[wheat timber]

“The guy who made the build just says made up stuff that sounds funny, and wordmangus has been one of them
So you have stuff like dopemangus, and then now you have a zealot build thats about being a fat fuck, so fatmangus”

[lime mauve]

The original creator was a fat man named Gus

[wheat timber]

Not sure why Tyrant got thumbs downed, there’s a couple non-offensive skitarii color schemes. That black one is Stygies VIII, Ryza has orange ones, Metalica skitarii look cool as shit

[dense solstice]

Wait

Has there been a confirm on if we’ll be able to chance the color of the metal on our guys?

[lavish smelt]

We did just get a little loredrop saying that skitarii from multiple different forge worlds are on Atoma, so I'm almost certain there'll be different color schemes

Maybe we'll get a Branx-flavored one, even

[wheat timber]

Not that I’m aware of*, just posting other colors that exist in universe

[lavish smelt]

The steam store page mentions "choosing material types" when making your skitarii

[wheat timber]

Skittle Skitarii as everyone picks different colors

[dense solstice]

Lemme get that rusted gun metal

[mellow storm]

I wouldn't expect any other colors, but it's not impossible. Really just depends on how many cosmetics we're actually gonna get for the class, tbh

[lavish smelt]

We'll get a feature highlight on their visual design this week, it might have some more details

[mellow storm]

yeah, likely

[wheat timber]

Need to sleep and just wake up to new class tomorrow

[jagged marten]

I mean

It probs changes color with forgeworld

[silk lantern]

or itll be like scum where each cosmetic set has 4 color variations

[young panther]

Purple Skittles Purple Skittles

tbf the only canon ones I know

Mars, Stygies, Graia, Metalica, Ryza, Lucius, Agripinaa

[dense solstice]

It’s gonna get worse the closer it gets to launch

[wheat timber]

do you think skitari get access to powersword and plasma rifle from vet

[round oak]

seems probable since skit mini have em

[crystal token]

Skitarii are shown using a power sword in the trailer

So they will at least get that

No idea on Plasma though but it would fit I think

[dense solstice]

No?

[dense solstice]

Those are class exclusive weapons

[dense solstice]

They dead ass get their own type of power sword

[dense solstice]

Thank you prawnicus

[hoary raptor]

Any names ideas for skitari?

[rose spoke]

"dead ass" lmao

[crystal token]

Yeah that's the one I think!

Unless I misinterpreted what it was

[remote scroll]

this is a skitarii power sword

meaning its not an astra militarum power sword

[round oak]

they'll probably get plasma gun tho since its in their miniatures kits

[hoary raptor]

I’m curious for the ranged weapons they be using are these another version of the veteran but with seviator skulls?

[dense solstice]

This gotta be bait right

[remote scroll]

these are the deluxe edition skins, and just like all the previous classes, these are all skins for the new class exclusive weapons

[round oak]

plasma caliver, close enough https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Plasma_Caliver

[dense solstice]

My guy

The plasma gun is vets class exclusive weapon

Skitarii isn’t gonna get it fam

[noble turret]

Crusher was zealot exclusive

[hoary raptor]

Fatshark might introduce something like this in for the skittari if GW doesn’t be a douche about copyrights

[round oak]

then again vet didnt get flamer so who knows

[dense solstice]

By this logic right

Vet shoulda gotten relic blade

[noble turret]

They did

[opal thistle]

they prob will

[dense solstice]

You are going to make me pick up a smoking habit

I swear to god

[noble turret]

Maybe stop being wrong

[dense solstice]

Show me right now

Where vet’s relic blade is

[opal thistle]

no because that's specifically a crusader weapon and veteran has no archetypes like that

[dense solstice]

Nah nah

It’s a power weapon

Vet uses power weapons

[strange talon]

I was brainstorming some the other day. This is what I came up with:

RustInPeace
ByteMe
GlitchPlease
RAMpage
ArcAidMachine
NeilArcstrong
ArcRanger
ArcsAndWreck

[woven nebula]

power falchion is a shittier version of the relic blade

[opal thistle]

whereas plasma gun is pretty widely used by admech forces

[opal thistle]

but vet isn't supposed to have every power weapon?

what is this logic

[dense solstice]

I could strangle you for rage baiting me bruh

[hoary raptor]

I’m thinking A.W.E.S.O-0from south park Lmafo

[hoary raptor]

Those are good so far

[noble turret]

This is literally vet relic

[dense solstice]

I’m talking about the actual weapon

[opal thistle]

arb shock maul and arb shield & maul are both power weapons too, they're not on vet and shouldn't be

[dense solstice]

The two handed sword

[opal thistle]

ogryn's power maul is another power weapon, and obviously vet doesn't get that

[hoary raptor]

Fatshark needs to add the halberd for the vet, pysker and zealot I swear

[dense solstice]

My point is right, classes have their exclusives

[opal thistle]

where did u get the impression that vet is the "power weapon" class

[opal thistle]

yea and plasma gun is not a veteran exclusive thing

[round oak]

vet miniatures have no 2h power sword. They do have flamers though. Why aren't u arguing for vets to have falmers. It makes more sense.

[dense solstice]

Omfg I’m NOT TALKING ABOUT THE LORE WISE BRUH

I’m talking about class wise

[round oak]

whats that mean

[dense solstice]

You know how certain classes have weapons specifically for them other classes don’t right

That’s their class specific weapon

You can even see this in the character creation screen

[opal thistle]

of the existing 6 classes, only vet (imperial guardsman) can use plasma
but admech (the 7th being added) can also use plasma

[dense solstice]

Under the class details in game

[opal thistle]

idk why ur so against skitarii getting plasma

[subtle dragon]

ImHardDrive

[dense solstice]

I’m making a point right

[opal thistle]

knowing FS's recent weapon design track record it might even be the only good gun they get

[grand sluice]

tbf the recent guns are generally fine

it's the melee...

[round oak]

i mean skits did get their other funny looking gunner special weapon. So maybe they won't get plasma 🤷‍♀️

[opal thistle]

maybe not initially but could happen at some point down the line

[dense solstice]

And you know what’s gonna happen

Another review bomb

[opal thistle]

why

[round oak]

chinese dueling sword nerfs

[dense solstice]

Because you’re giving a class’ exclusive ranged weapon to a paid dlc class?

[opal thistle]

nobody was particularly mad when heavy sword and duelling sword were made available to more than psyker

and nobody was particularly mad when crusher was available on arb

which was also a class exclusive previously

[dense solstice]

Because that seems a bit unfair that a class can just access another class’ exclusive kit?

[subtle dragon]

ComputedYourMumLastNight

[opal thistle]

(side note I think DS fell off a lot from the uncanny nerf patch)

[dense solstice]

Yeah but do you know what psyker class specific weapons are no one else gets?

[subtle dragon]

YourMothersOnBoard

[dense solstice]

Staves and force swords

[opal thistle]

were u complaining as hard as u do now for crusher being available on arb

can't double standard this

[dense solstice]

No I didn’t give a fuck because that wasn’t the class’ premier weapon

[opal thistle]

ok so we doing double standard then

cool

[round oak]

So skits are getting force staves is what ur saying?

[subtle dragon]

InsertFloppyDisk

[dense solstice]

Bro pushing the goal post like craaazy

[grand sluice]

such a weird argument to be having

let's just find out in june

it's not that big of a deal guys

[dense solstice]

It’s not but still

@opal thistle aye since we’re going down this right

[subtle dragon]

CDeezNutsNBoltz

[round oak]

im just yyapping at this point lol, as long as it plays well idc, im sure its gonna be good

[hoary raptor]

We haven’t even seen early gameplay yet let’s chill on the arguments

[opal thistle]

tf u mean, arb was a zealot exclusive and u didn't complain then, but now u do this for plasma
just reads like double standard plain & simple

[dense solstice]

Go look up the premier weapons for every class in the character creator screen, and tell me which ones are shared between multiple characters.

Go on.

[hoary raptor]

This is why I play darktide

[dense solstice]

Go to that character creation screen and check details

Go look at their class exclusive premier weapons

[opal thistle]

they'll prob change it if they add plasma to skitarii lol

[dense solstice]

Ooooh

[opal thistle]

not the first time they change that page anyway

[dense solstice]

So I was right huh….

[opal thistle]

right about what

double standard?

[opal thistle]

couldn't answer this huh

[dense solstice]

I don’t give a damn about post launch weapons that got added and then changed

My point stands on something being a class’ premier weapon

The weapon that is exclusively linked to that class’ identity my guy

[opal thistle]

u know well that it's fatshark's decision on what's "class exclusive" lol

it's not ur decision or mine

but ur double standard is funnier to me

[dense solstice]

I get that, but you’re like beating around what I’m saying

[subtle dragon]

Pretty proud of that one ngl

[dense solstice]

My whole point

[subtle dragon]

Feel free to plagiarise

[dense solstice]

Hey the dlc class isn’t going to get vet’s premier weapon

Because that’s kinda a weapon tied to Vet’s identity

That’s been the case for every single class since launch

[opal thistle]

idk man plasma's identity to me is just "it's a good hybrid playstyle gun that's 1~2 points cheaper than the rest to run"

[dense solstice]

Their premier weapons have never been allowed on other classes

[opal thistle]

I don't have attachments to it

[white blade]

Tbh id bet on Skittles having plasma²

[opal thistle]

it's a cool gun and that's it

I'd prefer if skitarii get like, a different plasma weapon that does diff things, or an ability related to plasma

[dense solstice]

I don’t either but this argument is so dumb

[strange talon]

Skittles. I love it

[opal thistle]

but the former isn't happening on its release cuz we alrdy know the weapons they're getting

[subtle dragon]

Yeah just like they would never give duelling sword to anyone but psyker it definitely wont happen to vet

[dense solstice]

Dueling sword is not psyker’s premier weapon

Omg bro why is this point just being forgotten

[grand sluice]

imagine if you could put a vertical grip, folding stock, red dot sights and extended mags on your plasma 😊

[white blade]

Thanks, I did not come up with it

[dense solstice]

I would 100% agree with you if something like

[round oak]

USB-DTF
RivettingExperience
FrancisClamps
HereSkittySkitty
Four-O-Four
ShinyMetalBrass

[white blade]

Hired Gun went crazy ngl, I love kinda shitty DOOM 2016

[subtle dragon]

I know im just being irritating for the sake of it

[dense solstice]

We all got eviscerators or force swords for whatever reason

Matter of fact evis on vet does sound cool

[opal thistle]

and not good

cuz no stagger

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-kirk-tony-stark-avengers-kirkified-gif-4618820868378725995

[dense solstice]

Still, there’s the fun factor

[hoary raptor]

ClankyouUP

[opal thistle]

I'd honestly much rather they give plasma to skitarii and add a new class exclusive gun to vet via hotshot lasgun or hellgun

[dense solstice]

I knew it

[opal thistle]

because that's smth that only imperial guardsmen use compared to the rest

[dense solstice]

I knew it was gonna circle back to the lasgun

[hoary raptor]

Snapchatscore1mil

[opal thistle]

wat

I mean

could also be a rotary grenade launcher but

do we really want rumbler^6

[white blade]

Not to play with

[opal thistle]

or longlas

longlas can work too

[white blade]

Give scum double plasma pistols while we're at it

[hoary raptor]

Speaking of plasma pistol where is our plasma pistols fatshark? The traitor captains have one we can’t have something nice

[wheat timber]

I have a suspicion that while Scum was no energy/las weapons, Skitarii will have no traditional ballistics like the autoguns and shotguns

I could just be talking out my ass tho

[white blade]

Aren't radium rifles bullets but irradiated?

[wheat timber]

I’m not all too familiar with their armaments in 40k

[opal thistle]

speaking of shotguns we should honestly get the scab shotgunner's shotgun

[wheat timber]

That’s why I said traditional

[opal thistle]

drum mag combat shotgun

dewit fatshark

[white blade]

We should get the bayonet on the shotgun

[grand sluice]

it'd be too strong

[white blade]

At least

[wheat timber]

Kinda like how a railgun is considered an “energy weapon” in lots of games even tho it’s just a super fast slug thrower

[grand sluice]

tho i think their version is pump

[dense solstice]

Fuck all that

[wheat timber]

But reloading with batteries make people go “energy”

[dense solstice]

Las carbine woulda been cooler

[opal thistle]

it won't be with that 1396 dmg on flamer headshot because 1 pellet hit the fueltank which has x0.2 ranged dmg

[wheat timber]

This one

[opal thistle]

shotlas

[wheat timber]

I mean that’s already the combat shotty with 15 slam fired rounds but

[white blade]

When can I load the entire combat shotgun with special ammo

[wheat timber]

It would still be kewl

Honestly really excited for sword and dagger

[opal thistle]

I still want more gud melee weapons on vet than more gud ranged

except hellgun & longlas

[wheat timber]

I missed the boat on VT2 but from what I heard it was one of the stronger weapons

[opal thistle]

wouldn't mind them first

[dense solstice]

Go master the falchion

[opal thistle]

it was/is cringe elf's best melee

[opal thistle]

unfortunately mid at best

[abstract seal]

i am happy for sword an dagger i was shade main in vermintide with this weapon combo

[opal thistle]

shade might actually be one of the branches of skitarii in the form of sicarian ruststalkers

[abstract seal]

i hope so

[wheat timber]

I hope the big update tries to address how player skill can eclipse a weapon’s actual usefulness, but I understand that’s lot easier said than done

[abstract seal]

tech assasin lets go

[round oak]

MagosRobotnik

[opal thistle]

MicrosoftClippy

[wheat timber]

Honestly I hope a lot of Skitarii have names in leet

[round oak]

WeaponizedMicroplastics

[wheat timber]

I know it’s not proper but the old school internet in me wants to see stupid funny robot names like in flash games

[opal thistle]

names can't exceed 18 characters unfortunately

[wheat timber]

I wonder if it’ll let folks copy+paste the Greek letters in or if they’ll have to actually write “Omega” and such

[sterile tendon]

skitarii in 19 dys

[dense solstice]

@opal thistle power leveling?

[karmic verge]

The math aint mathing am i missing smth

[harsh perch]

So is one of the new weapons a dual wield? 6 weapon skins and 7 weapons on display

[karmic verge]

Yes

[sterile tendon]

im using the meta timezone

[karmic verge]

Transonic blade and dagger

[sterile tendon]

razor and sword

[harsh perch]

Very cool

[sterile tendon]

funny ruststalker build

[karmic verge]

Now we just need to find some rust to stalk

[sterile tendon]

rust drops tomorrow

[dense solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/rust-rust-game-griddy-rust-griddy-playrust-gif-8692650118765186205

[sterile tendon]

rust is not dropping tomorrow i take it back

[opal thistle]

yk very well that I'm gonna run +30% XP on curios and with that QP bonus of +20% I'll be reaping 50% extra

[white blade]

They should like

Release Skittles rn

[karmic verge]

If only we could farm curios and put them in a chest for all characters to use

Is there a way to quickplay but only for a specific mission

[dense solstice]

Thing I was thinking about earlier

Those bonuses are great

But the real thing is gambling on the quick play and hoping you get into a mission with a high yield xp modifier

Unless you plan on just leaving til you get one you like

Like shock

[karmic verge]

They have different mods? So spamming quick missions like rolling steel isnt the way to go?

[dense solstice]

I guess yeah

[karmic verge]

There is also that one mission ive seen people speed run where it has basically no sections that force a stop so you can in theory run towards the exit and just do the last part of the mission

[dense solstice]

@remote scroll Hey I’m sure you have the answer for this

[white blade]

42

[dense solstice]

Doesn’t shock gaunt give the most xp for completion

[karmic verge]

42 is alwags the answer

[opal thistle]

don't rly care, that +50% is gonna do enough

[remote scroll]

shock gauntlet is a modifier which gives more xp, so high int shock gauntlet would give more cuz its 2 on one mission

[dense solstice]

Yeah there we go

[remote scroll]

quickplay is also not the most efficient way to farm explicitly xp

[dense solstice]

I mean for sure that’s a thing aswell if you have a team to speedrun the stuff

[sterile tendon]

300 expedition missions for xp

[white blade]

Isn't it twins hard mode suiciding

[karmic verge]

Please teach us the wisdom! I must speed run skitarri to level 30

[remote scroll]

it is

[dense solstice]

I figured

[karmic verge]

Wait so you rush twins then die

[sterile tendon]

does anyone evne like expeditions bruh

[dense solstice]

I like the concept

[sleek widget]

bell skip and die

[remote scroll]

ring the bell
enter the fight
die

[sterile tendon]

i mean its ok it just has literally 0 variety

[remote scroll]

get about a full missions worth of xp

[opal thistle]

well ik for sure we ain't speedrunning shit with ur bum on da team

[sterile tendon]

what

[sleek widget]

https://klipy.com/gifs/south-park-328

[karmic verge]

Oh yes the bell that makes them harder

[dense solstice]

Not the dead weight talking

[karmic verge]

Still havent found it

[remote scroll]

its right next to the normal one

[white blade]

You walk right past it without noticing tbh

[karmic verge]

The normal bell? There are two bells?

[remote scroll]

yes

[karmic verge]

Is it before their fight or earlier in the level

[opal thistle]

it's at the start

[white blade]

Spawn

[opal thistle]

u need someone who did the bell puzzle to get it

[karmic verge]

At spawn got it

[sterile tendon]

wouldnt you get to level 30 in like
