>>535853747
Nah, Darktide has way too many weapons as it is. It'll only lead to even worse powercreep than we already have.
Fatshark should instead try around removing weapons instead, since most of them are useless on Havoc anyway.

What's a Salvo?

>retard goes down
>loud, angry, sub-human yelling in voice
Why do I have to share the internet with slavgroids? Why can't we just fucking exterminate them from the face of the earth already?

A salvo begins when you start shooting and ends shortly after you stop shooting, generally when your gun's recoil fully stabilizes.

There really is just fucking nothing that can comfortably deal with both trappers and snipers. Shit, the best thing I can think of is rock + single stubber, because the rock at least swaps fast and then stuns the trapper.
I'm not missing anything, am I?

>>535865591
>rock doesn't kill them beyond heresy
???
kickback, gg, mk5 stubber all deal with every threat just fine

>>535865591
Return to Ripper mkV tradition

>>535865591
Ogryn is literally the easiest class to quickPay with

>>535866319
Rock bodyshot doesn't kill trappers, at least in aurics. Leaves them with a sliver of health, unless I need to have Payback Time active to hit the kill threshold or something. No Hurting Friends is virtually permanently active anyway.
>GG
Doesn't kill snipers through fences, and the little faggots like to hide behind those. In fact, it can't shoot through fences at all.

>>535866848
Ok then use kickback or mk5. It's honestly rare that you ever need to deal with every single threat, in the hundreds of matches on ogryn I've played with grenade gauntlet or rumbler the times a sniper is out of range or behind a fence where you can't at least knock it over and move on, and also no one else has a weapon to deal with it is miniscule

>>535868236
>and also no one else has a weapon to deal with it is minuscule
That isn't the problem.
The problem is that I must assume everyone else is retarded, and that I must deal with every threat.
I'm playing aurics for fun, not havoc. The novelty has worn off.
>It's honestly rare that you ever need to deal with every single threat
As a result, unfortunately, I basically do.

>>535868723
Ok. Mk5 ripper.

>>535869251
>>535866728
Something like this, yeah?
>missed the god roll by like 2%
Oh well.

>>535869775
take Blaze Away
Inspiring Barrage is optional, but useful if you want easy toughness gain in a ranged fight

>>535869775
Whatever it is to get 19 bullets, and then blaze away. Other perk is whatever you, toughness per shot is very strong though

>>535870963
>Whatever it is to get 19 bullets
I believe it's in the ballpark of 67%. It might be 66%. But I'm not even sure whether that gives an extra shell in the reserve.

>>535869775
Dumping ammo is a meme.
Collateral is the dump stat on rippers.

>>535873664
Ammo dump triggers the blessings early.

>>535854157
/hdg/ will say this is fine

>>535873860
not just early, it triggers blaze away and inspiring barrage on every shot, most importantly on the burst

>>535873860
And it's a meme still.
Getting 21 in the mag and 168 in the reserve is better and over all more damage. Take blaze away + can opener and you have an all purpose tool that can reliably kill all enemies in the game.
Also you only need inspiring barrage if you are bad at playing. It's the confident strike of ranged weapons.

>>535874218
why the h*ck would you want single target armor pen on your ogryn ranged weapon

>nobody snipes the snipers
>nobody guns down the gunners
do I take the heavy stubber pill and put my fate onto my own hands or persist with twin stubber?

>>535874218
>can opener
actually try this in a game and you'll realize it's a meme. Not only is it impractical but your melee will also just do more DPS and regenerate your toughness while you bash the boss.
Now go ahead and tell me about how can opener is good against crushers so you can out yourself as a drooling retard.

>>535873895
Because they all like men

>>535875934
>your melee will also just do more DPS
only true if you're a metaslave

>penance can only be completed in 'solo' session
>'solo' session requires 2 people in party to start

>>535877965
You can post here and see if some anons are willing to help or ask in the hub chat. If you need the zealot timed mission and/or the vet accuracy penances, I recommend the train mission.

Is there a good discord for rallying people for Havoc play? The discord I go to for Helldivers 2 is packed, and I can get a group together in less than 10 minutes. The Darktide one I'm in with Aquila the hun, Captain Kentucky, and so on has a shit load of people in it as well, but it seems like it takes forever to get someone to join a room.

>>535888450
Since last August, they've been significantly buffing all of the weapons but they also nerfed all of the enemies into the dirt, so yes the game has now officially been piss easy longer than it has been remotely difficult. Enemy spawn rates have been reduced, every enemy in general is MUCH easier to kill, and you need only see the webm in the post you replied to for an indication of how dangerous enemies are now.

You do know he's an avid gamer and has been involved in game development before, right? Not as a programmer or anything, but it's not his first rodeo.

>Hello there,
>first of all i know there might be topic that are similar, but iam a big fan of this game but iam so frustrated of havoc, iam a very good player, iam playing this game everyday but since i play havoc my fun just crashed to the bottom.
>For example the modifier Ritual is extreme bugged, sometimes its okay, but most of the time it spawn somewhere far far away, then spawns in 4 Bosses from 2 of them are twins, the normal ranged guys are extreme OP , they just two shot you. Its impossible to play as non meta build and even with meta build its insane difficult. I play auric maelstrom and doing well but havoc , its a whole other level of difficulty. Iam stuck between clearance level 19-25 cant get further because i derank most of the time, cause i loose all the rounds.

They've reached the point where bots are contractually obligated to shoot NEAR you for dramatic effect instead of AT you. If they hit you, it's pretty much by accident. The chin guns on the AT-ATs are basically the only guns on the bot front that don't pull their punches.

The average pubbie doesn't notice this because 99% of them are wearing the shield diaper backpack, which increases your hitbox size enough that the "near" shots will hit the shield. It really gets their heart racing while they panic and hide until the shield recharges.

>BTL
I swear, putting on Stance is equivalent to voluntarily wearing a dunce cap. I've seen 2, maybe 3 useful Stance arbitrators, in aurics, and that was exclusively because they did a fuckload of ranged damage by having to reload less, which becomes completely non-viable in havoc due to ammo constraints.
>inb4 muh survivability
You have a dodge button, fuckface. Learn to use it.

>>535937571
You're right but the Stance is OP and should be removed.
The only reason why you are even seeing those retard shitters in your games is purely because Arbites as a class is currently the most OP power crept shit in the game, and then the cherry on top the shitters are using the "Ignore everything that can kill you" ability.

>>535937571
Taking a stance on the arbite's abilities

>>535874218
>>535875934
It doesn't matter. The pros and cons are tiny.

19 ammo blaze away may help hit a 1burst breakpoint for specific enemies (???), but this depends on the rest of your build. It certainly doesn't do anything vs Trappers and Snipers, you can kill those in one burst at 80% ammo. So if your main worry is trappers and snipers then dumping ammo for blaze away does nothing. If you're aware of some breakpoint then by all means keep running 19 ammo. It only costs like -1 magazine in total. Personally I don't notice any difference during gameplay.

Most ogryn weapons can handle crushers. Even the knife works now. CanOpener makes it a little bit faster. From my testing CanOpener brings it down from 10 hits to 7 hits. Which is something... but not insane crazy wow. Again this is build dependent.
Best use case for CanOpener is stab-shooting Crushers. This can nuke them down in 3 bursts if it's important to kill the crusher right NOW. (From roughly 70 shots to 9). Which is a nice ability to have. But if you don't utilize it during gameplay then CanOpener is also useless.

The key feature of the ripper v is the min pellet count, and we get that by default. Everything else is flavor and preference.

>>535938108
kek

>>535938083
>You're right but the Stance is OP and should be removed.
Stance is a crutch for retarded shitters who never learned the combat system and can't play the game. It is functionally useless to someone who actually knows what they're doing. It's not OP by virtue of doing nothing useful other than making you better at shooting, which is still worse than just bashing skulls in.
Claiming it's OP is indirectly admitting that you, too, are too retarded to dodge and slide and should go back to malice where you fucking belong.

>>535938182
I use my ripper with can opener and blaze away to mulch hordes.
And I run can opener for debuffing crushers and monstrosities.

It works just fine, and if I ever need toughness regen I just hit a couple of heavies or I just brace my weapon ripper gun.

>>535938324
>broo
>this ability that just lets you ignore all of the gameplay and makes you practically unkillable which then lets retards punch above their weight class isn't OP
It is OP, but you do not need it better you are at the game, I agree.
>Stance is a crutch for retarded shitters who never learned the combat system and can't play the game.
This is the main reason why it needs to be removed or heavily nerfed.
If an ability lets retards ignore the entire game, its mechanics, and ignore actually getting better at the game, then it is not good or a well designed ability.

>>535938397
that's totally fine. And if you play around with 80% ammo vs 66% ammo i doubt you'll notice much difference. In my experience the best use case for dumping ammo is here >>535869775 for the flechette and crit combo. Which is also valid.

i will now start using castigator's stance
thank you for bringing it to my attention

>>535938618
The problem with how "OP" it is, is that it lasts a limited amount of time, followed by that retard instantly eating shit because he didn't watch the timer while standing under gunner fire, instantly rendering it useless. Yes, it technically has a different skill set (awareness vs learning game mechanics), but you would be disingenuous to claim that the kind of retard that uses it also somehow has any semblance of awareness.
Every time you see some tardbitrator mysteriously drop from 100 to 0 for unexplainable reasons, it's because his Stance just ran out.

>>535938747
>you would be disingenuous to claim that the kind of retard that uses it also somehow has any semblance of awareness
this is a disingenuous statement

Well? Which one is it, faggot?

>>535938646
You should only be running flechette + cavalcade if you are running a gunlugger build. The main reason being so you can apply both bleed and burn onto the boss and delete its health. That's largely the only use case for the Bleed Rippers.
Otherwise, aka any other build, it's not that good since ogryn's crit chance innately is just shit.
Then you should just be running blaze away + can opener or blaze away + inspiring barrage.

>>535938747
Anon, only reason why any of the shitters have managed to even crawl up to auric is purely because they are using castigator stance which allows them to completely ignore the game.
If castigator stance didn't exist, they wouldn't even be there.

Also just because retards keep dying while using castigator stance doesn't mean that the ability isn't OP.
For a good example, retards keep dying even with ogryn now even if he was buffed high heaven with the rework, that still doesn't mean ogryn isn't OP.
It just means that retards are going to be retards and there's nothing you can do about it.

>>535939097
Because you're playing with retarded team mates.
It has nothing to do with their abilities.

>>535939501
one statement is about castigators stance, the other is a general feeling of shit teammates. Are you retarded? am I getting baited?

>>535939515
There is no "should". That's my entire point. Run whatever blessings you enjoy. Flechette works for non-looger builds as well.

>rolling steel
>down to 3 minutes by the time we even get to the fucking power cells

Ogryn isn't OP...
IF the arbites is the new standard

>>535944046
Ogryn is still miserable to play with retards because there is always going to be something you struggle to deal with, unlike every other class in the game. And obviously your retards never, ever, ever will fill whatever niche you're not good at.

>cousin okri is actually real and he was the voice in the trailer
Holy shit, 10 years of Bardin being a schizophrenic retard, namedropping Okri every 10 voicelines, and now we finally get him in the flesh.

Maybe Warpick will finally get a buff with the dwarf event

>gun: 200 dmg per shot
>gun mark II: 500 dmg per shot but otherwise identical stats according to the game
why would i ever use the first one?

>>535970549
what gun are you talking about

They definitely broke something with the most recent patch because I am getting a lot of crashes. I just crashed and had to reconnect 3 times in a single mission when I have probably crashed less than 3 times in the last 100 hours.

>>535970676
most of them. there are some meaningful variants but for example i dont understand why you would pick ripper gun mk V over mk II or mk VIc over mk XIV when using recon lasgun

>>535968938
>Kerillian blamed Bardin, Bardin blamed Kruber, and Kruber just gave me that long, patient look I’ve been seeing a lot lately, and ushered me back downstairs with a stiff drink and a pat on the back.
not gonna lie, this made me chuckle a bit. Man, I really hope we do get a Vermintide 3 so I can revisit these goofy niggers without feeling like I'm taking a step backwards from Darktide in terms of mechanics.

>>535972002
Bigger number isn't always better. Fatshark isn't too clear about this shit, guns have a ton of hidden modifiers.
Ripper Gun Mk2 has the highest total damage potential, but the lowest DPS due to a very low fire rate, and the widest pellet spread.
Ripper Gun Mk5 has the highest fire rate, highest DPS and the highest minimum pellet count, making it the most effective at long distances, but also possesses the most exaggerated recoil in the game.
Ripper Gun Mk6 has the highest Finesse bonus, meaning the most Critical and Weakspot damage of all the other marks. It also has the lowest recoil and lowest bloom. This is the best Ripper Gun if you go for single-target.

VT2 is really missing push attacks and special attacks for all weapons. I still give it points for having so many more weapons than Darktide does. How the fuck do we still have 0 dual-wielding? And zero polearms

stance is just boring. no cool effects or animations, just temp god mode. nuncio has felt anemic since release. so BTL is the patrician's choice.

>wanting to play specific missions has been effectively killed since arbites release
if i dont already have teammates by the loading screen then the lobby will remain empty. but if i do quickplay, there's a 90% chance its the snoozefest story missions, wtf.

Psyker anons, how often do you hardcast brain burst? I take it, but mostly for the % chance trigger talent.

It feels rare that I'm in a position where I have a viable target, nothing threatening happening right next to me, and 2.5 seconds of free time to stand still and charge up the ability.

Should I be making more effort to use it more?

>>535978456

far away ranged elites, thats pretty much it. sometimes i throw on an oldschool BB build with the fast charge node and soul siphon

>>535978456
a few times a match to kill a special or a gunner. Snippers and especially bombers are what I use it on most. I snap the target with the left click hen dodge behind cover. Sometimes there's like 3 chaff on me in which case i just dodge with good timing to make up for the negative dodges i probably have.

>should go back to malice where you fucking belong
I mean really, if you don't know the basic mechanics you should actually go to Sefoni and re-do the combat tutorials. Including the optional ones that most players probably skipped when they started playing.

ARE YOU RETARDED?

>>535939786
Nerftrannies are so irrational. Shitters have been in your snorics since forever, Arbitrator didn't change that.

My dream 40k game is a starwars battlefront esque squad shooter with every faction as a playable character, multiple classes each with combat abilities and weapon loadouts.
This game HAS to be made at some point.

>>535975317
I'm right about that, though perhaps I phrased it poorly; the movement system is the most obvious example, but ratclick also has a much more simplistic damage system that you can really notice when you switch between it and shopclick. Both of these things (movement and armor/weakspot systems) are very clearly a progression of more basic systems present in the older tide games, though there are aspects of ratclick that I feel fatshark regressed on in shopclick (i.e. character builds.
>>535975935
It's been a hot minute since I last experimented with ratclick's weapons but I'm 99% sure all of the melee weapons have push attacks. Plenty of weapons would benefit from special attacks, though; some sort of armor breaking function would make the heavy mace actually worth using in some capacity, for example.

>>535994624
there was a fan game in similar vein but it was canned even before Gay's Wokeshop decided to copyright strike everything under the sun, don't remember the name
also MMO, Eternal Crusade another canned project

>>535939786
It's not just Castigator's Stance; it's also the dog flat-out invalidating two out of the three disablers present in the game. I remain fully convinced that Fatshark's thought process when designing Arby was something along the lines of:
>how can we get better player retention with this class?
>well, the biggest demographic in vidya by far is "casuals" so how can we grab that group?
>casuals don't like to think of themselves as casuals, so if we give them a padded jacket-tier level of retard-proofing, they'll be able to punch above their weight and feel more skilled
>this will encourage them to stick around longer
And it worked extremely well in pulling players for all of a week, before fatshark decided to release a game-breaking hotfix and then take their annual swedecation immediately afterwards.

>>535995775
i think this type of game can be made now, it definitely would have been held back technologically years ago. SM2 showcased large set pieces and enemies on screen so it can work, but like every game the quality would be largely dependent on who's making it so it'd probably have a cash slop shop

>>535995775

This can happen but only if they get a triple A company to do it. I don’t trust any of them is the issue. Anyone else is simply not going to do it Justice due to lack of resources. That said, if there was a time when it’s most possible, it’s definitely now.

>>536007551
Red Solstice 2, maybe

>>536003108
I was talking about Sienna's mace. It's technically "armour piercing" as per its description, but in practice it's very very poor in fulfilling that role or in fulfilling ANY role, really. Giving it a special that, I don't know, softens the armor of any hit enemies would work wonders for its viability, and would be thematically appropriate considering it already gives flame ticks on heavy attacks. Better than just tacking on increased armor pen, at least.

>>536012059
>but in practice it's very very poor in fulfilling that role or in fulfilling ANY role
The mace is Sienna's best default weapon outside of flamesword memes. It's a strong switch hitter that can do everything decently well. it's just overshadowed by Flaming Flail's explosive power.

>>536014552
nice

>>536014798
>best
never liked the mace, it has a weird arc with the swings
I recall dagger being really fun though with heavies

>>536014798
>The mace is Sienna's best default weapon outside of flamesword memes
The game has been out for 7.5 years; there is absolutely no reason to single out base game weapons lmao. And even if you DID want to do that for some legitimate reason, the mace still falls behind the other weapons. It has been the least-used Sienna melee since launch and that has never changed. It can't "do everything decently well," it's mediocre to outright bad at everything. It's slow, doesn't deal a significant amount of damage per swing, has clunky attack chains, and has low stamina to boot iirc. Just an all-around poor weapon.

Not by using your melee and trying to play him like a Zealot. Use a gun with good ammo economy like the Helbore, or just the Plasma Gun or Bolter, and you will match Arbitrators' damage numbers. If you want high impact melee gameplay, play literally anyone else.

>>536018456

you would think that roguelites are trying to bank on replay value but their replay value is shit because you get bored with it

It's arbitrator you can use anything you want. Hell enjoy the chainsword for once.

>>536028197

>>536032810
from the limited time i played it was quite fun, there were only 2 full-length missions at that time though, and most of the voice lines were some goofy TTS. I could see myself getting a ~100 hours of fun out of it with a friend or two, funplay was good and vehicle handling was good, wasn't buggy at all when i tried it. Had decent building mechanics and fortification purchases, something most co op games seem to lack. Weapon and attachment selection were pretty barebones but again, it was closed beta. I probably wouldn't pay more than ~40€ of it as it was but i imagine there'll be at least 10 missions in the final game. The cinematics were also really high quality, it felt like a good old-fashioned horde shooter with some modern elements

How do I not get hit in Vermintide 2? I am facing a horde, I see a Stormvermin swing an overhead, so I dodge to the side, but at the same time a second Stormvermin just happens to be tracking me, and he hits me just as I finish dodging. I genuinely don't know what to do unless I use a stagger-focused class or weapon.

>>536036896
Blocking, dodging, positioning, staggering

>>536036896
All of what >>536036972 says, but also remember to push enemies. The way staggers work in ratclick, you can shove an enemy more than once to knock them off balance (particularly useful for shield stormvermin, as two consecutive shoves will stun them, leaving them open for attacks). Combat in ratclick is a lot slower than it is in shopclick, but it's also a lot more methodical. Avoid situations where you're face-to-face with two attacking SV at once if you can; remember you can shove them and dodge backwards to give yourself a little breathing room.

Sigmar... I have failed you...

>>536036896
Dodge backwards and you can avoid like 90% of all damage in VT2

It would be impossible for any Gentile coalition under similar circumstances to attain the control which the Jews have won, for the reason that there is lacking in the Gentile a certain quality of working-togetherness, a certain conspiracy of objective, and the adhesiveness of intense raciality, which characterizes the Jew. It is nothing to a Gentile that another man is a Gentile; it is next to everything to a Jew that the man at his door is another Jew.

>>536072150
Some techpriests are just more resistant to body modification.
Not all of them start to instantly replacing their limbs. Also humanity in 40k is very much about the human form and purity of it.
So a techpriestess deciding to add breasts made of metal to her chest is just their way to appear more human.

Also there are the biologis who run more counter toward the more "regular" admech.
Biologis do use cybernetics, but they are more known to enhance themselves biologically and genetically, so stronger bones, denser muscles, more durable skin, etc. Which outwardly leads to appear more human.

>>536023086

Also to add to this, this probably sounds stupid, but does the lightning staff always hit the weakspot on the enemy?
Since you can't really control what the staff hits, right?
Am a novice psyker player so I don't really know.

I never want to hear a twin stubber again.

who wan pley havoc geimu???

>>536075714
Nice set and weapons skins, but fatshark is a piece of shit for refuse to change the shop, this will gone for months or years with under the current system.

>>536077841
IIRC it picks the hit location randomly.
You can go Warp Nexus/Warp Flurry for lightning or Warp Nexus/Surge for M1 spam.

>>536077406
>>536077841
Lightning staff has two main builds
>rightclick
You build that for crit (not necessarily aura, but it does help) with associated blessings. Warp Nexus and Warp Flurry are the ones you usually want. The usual dump stat would be Warp Resistance to run with either Shriek or Scrier's, with the latter being stronger on the shock staff. Lets you have pretty good DPS and stunlock potential, but gives up all of the safety of bubble. You almost always run it with EP warp charges. There are some breakpoints to be aware of, but I forget the exact details. I believe 25% flak and maniacs are the relevant perks for some crit + non-crit or other 2-shot thresholds, I don't remember the one-shots either.
You CAN afford to dump crit bonus when running it with bubble because you will need to quell manually, which makes it slightly more reliable, but be aware that this trades overall performance for ease of use, and isn't exactly optimal.
>leftclick spam
You build around Surge, likely still with Warp Nexus, but Transfer Peril isn't terrible either if you're good at aiming it. You definitely critmaxx for obvious reasons, and take the far left side nodes under Brain Burst. Surprisingly good even after fixing the bug that let you animation cancel for double the fire rate, but also exceptionally boring to play.

Especially when focused around rightclick, I recommend you bring a trash clear melee that can also sorta deal with mixed hordes. I use VIII greatsword with Wrath and Deflector. Flak because it's the most common armor type, and then I put infested on mine because fart-empowered poxers do become slightly inconvenient. Keep in mind that such a build has virtually no mobility and will creep around the map at glacial pace compared to knife psyker, but knife doesn't clear hordes well enough when the shock staff kinda needs it in my experience. You just can't kill trash with the secondary. Primary is alright but finicky with aiming for heads.

>>536079576
Oh right, and if you build explicitly for shriek, quell speed can be your dump stat.
Either way, I don't think the stats make that huge of a difference, besides wanting 80 damage 80 crit if you do care about breakpoints. I remember one of the steam guides explaining them, but I don't play enough psyker, and certainly not enough shock staff anymore, to really care.

Damn, people really do not want psykers anymore

>>536082076
Every single shotgunner has a grenade in his pocket that goes off when he dies and it spawns them in units of 8-24 and makes my fucking game crash. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea for a modifier? It is at least funny though how you can fling yourself around with the explosion.

>>536085843
Looks alright. Some pointers though:
You should always take the warp damage on crit in the top right, especially since you're already critting a lot.
Ditch the toughness on peril gain, it's kinda shit.
I'd avoid using unsupported Brain Burst unless explicitly running flame staff. You get effectively nothing out of it unless you actually make an effort to make it good, unlike Smite. Smite may be shit, but there are situations where even completely unsupported Smite is genuinely useful (mostly doing objectives, helping get a res off).
Not running peril block will make Deflector suck cock. If you can't find room for peril block, I'd suggest running +2 stamina on the sword. You don't need carapace on your melee at all, the staff should stunlock those.
You can potentially ditch Psychic Vampire in the keystone, if you need to somehow free up a point. It's good, of course, but I don't remember having trouble getting stacks up with Scrier's. You should be getting so many kills during, that you're back at max by the time it runs out.

I was thinking about getting Darktide for a while now. I've watched a youtube video talking about the game and apparently you loot items at the end of the mission but can also just easily craft the best version of them? If I understand correctly, this makes looting completely worthless. But why would you keep replaying the same missions over and over again if not to loot some good stuff? Am I not getting something or is this system literal goyslop for npcs?

It's the consequence of having a shop you need to rotate every 2 weeks.
Lot of it is just low effort trash, like being genuinely shitty looking or just a recolor of a previous thing, because they have to do *something* to justify the shop's existance and the type of shop model they use.
Also the other big reason is that Darktide currently only has a bare minimum maintenance crew working on it, who's only jobs are to maintain the servers, fix some bugs and then rotate the slopshop.
And that's what they do because they quite literally don't have the manpower or resources to do anything else.

What a nightmare huh?

What the fuck is going on with this event? The description states increased barrels and increased explosive enemies, but in practice it also has randomly exploding shotgunners, massively increased explosion physics, and the cranial growth modifier that used to be in havoc but got removed? It also seems like there are approximately twice as many gunners and reapers as are in usual snorics but that could be me getting bad rolls.

>>536168359
It's not fun at all.

>>536186734
yeah shotgunners drop a grenade on death (they do very little damage but push you around) and it's like double explosion strength. I haven't really noticed more gunners thoughever

I might be having a schizo moment but I believe that due to jank coding this isn't limited to barrels and also applies to bosses, I just got flung 10 meters into the air and 50 meters horizontally by a plague ogryn stomp

Im having a blast!

I know VT2 is old news at this point but how do you play Unchained Sienna? With Kruber all you need is big sword and handgun to clear hordes and instantly kill specials but with her im struggling to find a build that can deal with specials and armored enemies effectively.

these errors are cropping up non stop

Why do they keep nerfing auric difficulties?
Even with the most inefficient meme builds just for funsies, I'm literally falling asleep because there's absolutely zero density or enemies to whack at.

>>536205735
take a moment and think why they would want to make the difficulty playable for all platforms

>>536205735
>Why do they keep nerfing auric difficulties?
Because Fatshark is insistent on making havoc a "thing", even though practically nobody plays it or cares about it.
They want havoc to be the "end game" mode for the game, but it just isn't working because how havoc is designed is inherently shit, boring and plain un-fun.

>>536205735
Misinformation or you're retarded. The average auric game I play completely overwhelms and chokes my retards with enemy density while I'm left picking up the pieces. Groups of 5+ ogryn, the same amount of flamers on the screen at the same time, a dozen ragers, 3 snipers without an explicit modifier for them, etc. happens often.
If you don't notice enemy density, you're either being carried (likely by an arbitrator), or you're playing lights out/vent purge which are inherently lower intensity.

Aurics supposedly being easier is misinformation. That was only true for a couple weeks when fagshart fucked up the director. Enemy density is now back to what it was before the difficulty change, the game only feels easier because there are 2-3 arbitrators on average, and the class is so easy, the average brain damaged malicelet retard can semi-reliably survive, while any competent player effortlessly tops the scoreboard. Games without arbitrators (rare as they are) still feel the same as before.
Also try playing maelstroms instead. They're still pretty good, whenever it's not burster spam drowning out your audio cues.

>>536206165
I don't know man. I just had an hab investigation mission with two vets and a zealot that were slow even by console standards, and the only hangup the entire mission was that I kept getting interrupted by lone pox walkers at the tree. As well as excise vault in the hour glass, the mission I remember being the absolute most hellish in auric was putting me to sleep, even as I was rushing ahead I didn't really think there was much to fear. Something absolutely changed because it never feels like I'm in any state of danger anymore from mixed horde packs or gunner packs. I feel like havoc is literally the only way I can still have fun with the game now

>>536206881
Sounds like a mix between you being a better player than you were before playing havoc, and confirmation bias making you more easily notice when the director is taking a nap.
Sometimes whatever RNG the director uses to determine what to spawn, just leads to much easier games. Other times, there's a fuckload of bulwarks and flamers and fart bombers making it impossible to move anywhere while also not being able to see anything, and then you just get raped. Sometimes there's a sniper in front and behind and your 70 IQ teammates all die.

they will introduce havoc into map one way or another
just like aurics

The final blackpill is that difficulty is completely down to RNG. Any feelings of the game being too easy or too hard at a given moment are down to luck. I have had havoc 40 games with fewer special and elite spawns than damnation that I have sprinted through in 15 minutes, I have had incredible WWI-esque battles of attrition in normal snorics with special spawns every second, I'm talking 6-8 snipers on screen at a time or 20+ shotgunners or 3 pox bombers and 3 scab bombers, I have seen 8 bosses spawn on a snoric maelstrom on the first section of Clandesneedium and ledge the entire team, I have seen maelstroms with the monstrous specials modifier spawn one singe monster the entire mission, I have played a havoc 15 that spawned twins plus a third captain simultaneously while we were trying to avoid a daemonhost, etc. There is no consistency whatsoever to Darktide difficulty.

>>536208378
>a havoc 15 that spawned twins plus a third captain simultaneously while we were trying to avoid a daemonhost
All of what you said is true, but this one isn't necessarily RNG. Havoc will frequently spawn two bosses at the same time, one of which can be twins. I believe havoc also has set triggers on each map (might be multiple with the director choosing which, unsure) that have chance to spawn a boss, and then spawn another after a short period of time. ESPECIALLY in low havocs with inexperienced/retarded/hardstuck players, it's somewhat frequent that your resident retard keeps running forward even after tripping a boss spawn, and then forces multiple other bosses to spawn.
Thankfully, the last time I've had this happen in h40 everyone's balls were far too large to be bothered even by 5 simultaneous bosses. But I guess Chorus spam also helped a lot.

Fuck quickplay, everytime some retard goes down they instantly leave because they are faggots and then nobody comes in to backfill their deadweight ass.
Also the new option to turn off the fucking campaign doesn't do shit because it's turned ON by default, it should OFF by default.
And of course none of the shitters know to turn it off either.

>>536210634
>everytime some retard goes down they instantly leave
Still wondering why this is the case. It made perfect sense to me for the first couple weeks after arbites release. You get newfags and returning retards, both of which end up way out of their depth when deciding to up the difficulty, but the lack of onboarding and retention mechanics (short of mindless tedium) and content drought has caused the game to aggressively bleed players back to nearly pre-arbites numbers.
Yet the amount of leavers is fucking staggering compared to before.
More often than not, someone going down results in an instant leave. If not that, they are near guaranteed to leave if they die. Doesn't matter whether it's auric QP or maelstrom. I'd understand if it were leaving out of futility, knowing that downing/dying is an instant wipe because everyone else is retarded, but no. It's often the weakest player in the game, too. To which I say good riddance because bots are often more reliable, but that's besides the point.

Just, why? I swear the average game has 2 leavers, and the changes to quickplay make reinforcements impossible if the mission dropped off the board because fagshart is retarded as fuck. The only practical solution to the leaver problem is to exclusively play missions that only just showed up on the board lol.

I assume mobility is the dump stat on this?

>>536204593
>>536205021
>>536205512
so true

>>536212202
Unless you're using the weapon to run around (I assume shield pistol is slow af because shield mace is also slow af and stamina inefficient), or the weapon has another useless stat (such as collateral on most lasguns), mobility dump is the default.
I don't see why you would dump anything other than mobility on the shield pistol, since you're basically not using that stat on it.

I tried disabling group buff icons in the settings as some people have suggested but I still get crashes depending on the build I use and what my teammates have. It's already been reported by a lot of other people and Fartshit is already aware of it but it likely won't be fixed until next week.

>I am getting gaslit on games lantern
Well yeah, it's full of idiots.
I don't think there's any even decent resource for havoc. Jewtubers are disingenuous clickbaiters, redditors and other forum users are retarded, 4chan is constantly baiting or pretending to the point of even making discussion impossible, and gameslantern has an updoot system that will naturally be biased by retards upvoting popular or easy builds that work in their hardstuckie bracket.
Part of this is because nobody that actually plays havoc 40 regularly, needs any help, and anyone discussing builds will likely already have friends from playing havoc 40, or just inspect other players to see what they do and figure it out from there.

In a way, I would say that if you can't figure it out on your own, you don't belong in havoc 40 anyway.

It looks like we are slowly converging upon unlimited grenades for every class. Do we think they are going to give zealot a free grenade every 60 seconds with his rework? Will the Skitarii be able to 3D print his own grenades? Will they just bake the free grenade talent into veteran since literally nobody ever for any reason skips it?

>>536244201
Every blitz should be regenerating. Everyone picks blitz regeneration on every class they can, with maybe the exception of Ogryn for he relies on his blitzes less so than others and rock is a worse gun and so it's often like having no blitz at all.
Genuinely why would you pick Impacts over Dogsplosion, for example? They are only useful with Lone Wolf for regeneration.

>>536246335
The dlc class just bombs the entire map without fear of FF althoughbeit but i get what you mean

>>536246335
It's almost like they're different games and Darktide features much more dangerous enemies in greater numbers therefore you need greater resources to defeat them.
In VT2 you get 1, maybe 2 monstrosities a level and they get melted instantly. Your bombs are just not as valuable because several classes have power greater than explosives, Foot Knight for one can just stunlock the entire map forever.

>>536246719
Interesting hypothesis however darktide enemies are precisely not any dangerous because everyone can just btfo them so easily
It's like fatshark devs tried to have an arms race but never addressed that the player is way too OP at removing every threat so no matter how threatening things get it'll never matter because the enemy never gets a turn

>>536246692
if you mean engi they specifically reworked him to do that after darktide released
poisoned design ideology

>>536246949
What you speak of is purely on paper and not how it actually happens in game because in analysis you flawlessly look at enemies in isolation rather than at the entire wave as a whole. You can one-shot a Bomber with any weapon and somehow they are still the single most dangerous enemy in the game, ever wonder why? It's specifically because other enemies exist.
Don't go pretending like VT2 has ever been hard either. Sienna's Battle Wizard single-handedly rapes that game, and somehow this is her "weakest" state and still remains at the top of S tier.

>>536247306
what actually happens in game is that everyone uses shit that stunlocks or instakills enemies because anything that leaves an enemy able to actually attack you is utter dogshit because of how powercreeped everything is
the sole exception to this is shooters but they introduced bubble and gold toughness so you can ignore that threat also

In practice, everything in darktide is extremely threatening but the game teaches and allows you to just neuter everything so it can never be a threat

Listing shit that doesn't let you ignore that 99% of enemies exist doesn't change that, because in darktide you do have shit that lets you ignore 99% of enemies and just cookieclick them down

When people called it ratclick it was tongue in cheek but darktide unironically plays like an idle chore game to the point where the most popular mods are those that automate button presses

tell me more about how footknight can stunlock the entire map forever, you retarded clown

the funniest part about darktide is that the purple potion equivalent is borderline useless because every class gets instant CD resets out the ass anyway

>>536250289
getting hit in vermintide rewards you

>>536250461
no because unlike darktide, you dont have 1 free hit (unless you play the dedicated ultra tank class)
getting hit means your green is getting chunked and you have to start relying on temp hp, which in vt2 decays out of combat (whereas in dt it recharges)

that's sure to turn the entire game into a breeze!
did you know you can have infinite chorus uptime in darktide, which is like the warrior priest bubble but
>applies to every party member including yourself
>staggers every enemy so they hold still
>suppresses every ranged in a 1 mile radius
>leaves you and your team with a lingering extreme tankiness boost until you can do the next chorus
yet somehow retards like you insist darktide is totally interactive and le hard because ib can taunt a lot (a relatively low impact skill)

>>536251583
If it was darktide the bar would go up 2x as fast and bardin would start out with 2 morgrims bombs
there would also be half as many skaven slaves and instead there would be 2 patrols in every horde

>infinite chorus uptime
Stopped reading

>>536251939
This is the case for every single ultimate in Vermintide, even the best ones, and the class has nothing to do with it, you just need to hit the enemies. What insane nigger mental gymnastics.
Ratclick is a breeze regardless of what I'm running. I'm not sure how you can pretend this game is challenging. Chorus Zealot is half the power of Warrior Priest because not only are you dealing 0 damage while holding that relic up, your class also needs to sacrifice its damage potential for it and rely on your 3 teammates to actually do something. It's dogshit ability design but it's not as powerful as Mister Estrogen has led you to believe.

>>536252162
also the taunt would pulse and give him temp hp for each pulse
also his pickaxe would attack 2x faster and oneshot chaos warriors without charging

Sure rajeet

The only thing that can save Darktide at this point is making the females more attractive and putting skimpy outfits in the shop and adding an assassin in a skintight suit and she jacks you off with her feet

What fucking retard designed this penance? How are you even meant to do this when you can't even carry 4 boxes at a time? Keep up a streak throughout the entire mission while picking up boxes throughout?

That's the team that made and almost immediately abandoned Tribes III so personally I'm not taking any chances.

>>536258260
You don't need Sonic Exe stance to shoot them desune. My Helbore one-shots everything regardless. From my experience VOC actually gives you much bigger openings for killing gunners because it lets you facetank them. And, of course, it protects you and your teammates from them when you can't. Which is why it's such an incredibly versatile and general-purpose ability

>>536256453
the best part is that your reward are some shitty recolored convict pants

You guys are still playing this game? lol.

>>536249153
You also have passive HP regen with the natural bond necklace trait in ratclick. So if you're good enough to only get hit once every few minutes(not hard at all) you stay at effectively full HP the whole match.

>>536271463
Yeah, I like it.

>>536273696
Temp HP in general is a busted concept. Darktide's Toughness is the natural evolution because it makes health an actually valuable resource. In Ratclick you lose health, who cares, you literally regenerate it by killing shit because temp HP is no different from actual health and it's super easy to regain. But it's also why Ratclick's Zealot is so much better and stronger than Poxclick's.
In Darktide, melee hits will target your health through toughness (unless full) so it's not like it actually replaces health.

>>536275718
>(unless full)
Are you actually so shit that your toughness isn't always full in melee? it's the literal same concept as temp HP, except you also get full HP protection so long as you keep fighting.

>>536276295
because while you are in melee there will also be enemies not in melee

>Rodin Karnak's shield still one shots you unless you're a zealot
come on FatFuck, time to fix it

I'm about to play darktide for the very first time
what are the do's and dont's?
what is the best way to progress?
what weapons/perks should I avoid?
give me everything, I want to grind efficiently

>>536276790
which doesn't matter because fighting shit in melee refills your toughness and keeps it capped
with fading light 2 you start needing to dodge while fighting but you can still do it

>>536281085
you go ahead and try ignoring the gunners and see how that works out

What is the consensus on the Arbites male voices?

>>536280992
1. Dodging gives you i-frames
2. Blocking and pushing work in a 360 degree angle, becoming less effective the further away from the inner angle (your camera view) and the efficiency of either vary per weapon.
4. Sliding will make you invulnerable to ranged fire for the duration of the slide, but not to melee attacks or projectiles such as flamethrowers.
3. A sound clue plays whenever you are about to get hit from behind (a whoosh sound)
4. A sound cue plays whenever you are about to get SHOT from behind (sounds like a tech beep)
5. Every gun can reach a "Mastery Level" of 20
6. Every gun can reach power of 500 (you level them up by Empowering them, 10 power at a time). You can Empower any weapon as long as you have a sufficiently high Mastery Level. The Armory will sell you weapons with power level depending on your character's level. At max level (30) they will regularly sell you power 450+ levels. I recommend just playing with what the Emp'rah awards you at the end of a mission, until you reach a good level to start buying shit without wasting too many materials to Empower it.
7. Weapons vary in stats. You will see weapons have varying percentages in stats such as Damage, Penetration, Mobility, Warp Resistance, etc. all of which can reach a cap of up to 80% (no, not 100%). You level these up to their maximum cap by Empowering your weapon.
A weapon can have a max stats level of 380 combined. (Such as your starting weapon, it possesses 76% in a total of 5 stats. 76 x 5 = 380)
8. Search what the "Dump Stat" for a weapon you desire is. MOST OFTEN, but not always, this will be Mobility, Defence or Warp Resistance. This means that you will want that weapon to have a Mobility of only up to 60%, and every other stat will reach its maximum potential of 80% as a result. Some weapons have quirks with their stats either due to Blessings or unique mechanics and may have varying "optimal" dump stats.

Distant Third
Authoritarian - Delivery feels the weakest of the bunch.

>>536282726
This is the third general I’m in that I’ve seen this girl who is she

>>536282726
9. If you want to see what a stat does, find the Inspect button and hover your cursor over the stat on the bottom left. Do check, because the same stat in one weapon might have additional properties in another weapon.
10. Consecrating a weapon will give it a higher Sanctity (aka Rarity) level, which will let you add up to 2 perks and 2 blessings to it at max (Transcendent, golden color). You can check and level up every weapon's Blessings at the Masteries screen in your inventory.
11. If a weapon is of a Sanctity of at least Redeemed (green color) you can Sacrifice it to level up any weapon's Mastery level. Sacrificing a weapon to itself will increase the Mastery XP gain by 5 times.
12. "Discarding" an item will award you money and materials depending on the Sanctity and power of the item

I like the Authoritarian. He's very optimistic. He is friendly to pretty much everyone, and asks goofy questions. There's a voiceline where, no shit, he asks an Ogryn how to make friends. Another, he asks the Fatalist if he wants to see some new punishment system he has designed, and excitedly yells "THANK YOU LEXMATE!". He also flirts with a lot of the female Zealots and Psykers.

aaaaauggghhh nooo

>>536280992
both dodge and jump share same keybind, remap that shit asap
maulers(human sized welding mask fags with chain axes)/crushers (bigger than human, wields fucking rebar club like supermutant from Fallout) have overhead attacks that will fold you like origami, blocking is nigh useless, time your dodges right just before you bring down their weapon
speaking of dodging, use it when you need them the most(floor is on fire, dodging overhead attacks, getting behind enemies), certain classes get some benefits from dodging in skilltree usually good idea to invest in those
pox hounds can pushed when they lunge towards you
when teammate goes down, always check why he jobbed(could be sniper camping, just melee units curb stomping your friend), toss grenade or use abilities to get few seconds to revive them
game has kamikaze enemies that explode, shove them if you're in melee, call your teammate a faggot if he shoots it near everyone
use your stimpacks instead of hoarding them

You're not here for sightseeing. You're a strike team. Your mission is literally to get in, get the job done fast, and get out, with as little time wasted as possible. Don't scour every corner for crafting mats if that would mean breaking away from the team for too long, and/or not being able to get back quickly. You will lose time doing that, and possibly lose games by getting split up. You'll get more mats by sticking together and only checking corners during a lull in the action.

On which note, stick together. Everyone gets buffs from being together, the most important one being passive toughness (shield bar) regen. But also you generally work better as a team. Until you know what you're doing, and have a good build set up, you're kind of shit on your own. This means that you should pay attention to where motherfuckers are, and pay attention to the disable overlay. If there's a big red flashing icon on someone, they need your help. At least LOOK OVER THERE and consider whether you want to help them, and if it looks feasible to do so, drop everything else and go fucking help them. Your teammates will not do the same.

For the most part, you want to use perks that increase damage against an armor type that weapon is good at, or you absolutely must kill quickly. Some ranged weapons can instagib important targets like trappers with +25% maniacs. Check gameslantern to learn each enemy's armor type if you're unsure. In general, avoid meme perks like block/run efficiency or stamina. They're not useless, but you won't know yet how or why they can sometimes be useful. Elites/specials and crit stats are also very niche. Know your weapon and why you put them on before you do so.
Avoid blessings that require you to play like a retard. Most blessings that rely on blocking (including perfect block) tend to be bad, except psyker's force block.

Try recon lasgun with unyielding, crit, infernus, dumdum, with a melee that's good against armor.

what the fuck is the point of all the character creation points
nothing except Cadia in planet origin comes up, occupation or motivations also never show up

>>536280992
In general, an ideal build should be able to
>clear hordes of chaff
>at least survive against mixed hordes (chaff + bigger enemies of different armor types mixed in) but ideally kill them consistently
>kill armor at least decently well
>kill monstrosities at an okay pace
>be able to shoot snipers because your teammates would rather die to them, than pay attention to your pings
all at the same time.

Because carapace armor (big armored ogryns, some human sized enemy heads) is such a tough nut to crack, it's generally not worth shooting at. Very few weapons can do this with any semblance of ammo efficiency (vet boltgun/pistol with crit headshots and rending, revolver with crit rending if timed right) but they're generally still worse than getting in there with a melee weapon that's good against them. You can look up the meta for that yourself if you care. In general, your melee weapon should be what's good against armor.
Horde clear also sucks to do with most ranged weapons, because, again, it's too ammo inefficient. Only a few weapons do this good.
Because of the above, you might run into a situation where you have no other horde clear tools. Supplement with your skill tree. Veteran frag grenades are a good example here, and a reason to build heavily into grenade replenishment in the tree. But this will depend on your build. Frags are generally accepted as the best grenade for most content, but kraks are extremely powerful too, just in a different niche entirely.
Accept that your retards will uselessly flail when big scary health bar and scary music appear. They will be useless against bosses. You must be able to kill them, otherwise your retards die. Fire is good. Persistent bleed is good. Unyielding is their armor type. Lasguns and bolters have blessings for both DoTs.
If for any reason you end up with a build that can't kill snipers good (flamer zealot, some ogryn builds), prepare for your retards wiping to a single sniper.

>>536288374
Correct. I can only assume they planned to have a much more fleshed out RPG-like chatacter creation but realized just how much work that would be and decided to leave all those choices in as padding.

>>536280992
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, focus on having fun. Find one weapon you really enjoy, then build around supplementing its power and shoring up weaknesses.
For example: Like the bolter? Excellent. Great gun. Learn to aim at heads, don't magdump it except in emergencies or against bosses. It's good against virtually everything, but slow to pull out and has questionable horde clear due to its long reload. Pick your melee and grenade options accordingly.
Don't meta slave too hard. Everyone can build drooling sword + recon las and be effective, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll have fun, or become better at the game using that.

QRD on the classes:
Arbitrator is the power crept pay to win DLC retard class. The equivalent of putting on tard headgear and having the dog function as your handler when you inevitably fail to block push a dog or dodge a mutant. If you see your retards perform unexpectedly well, it's likely because of this. Very fun, very strong even at the top, but bad for learning the game since it's loaded with crutches.
Ogryn smash, ogryn explode. Easy to pick up, deceptively hard to master. Pretty different from the other classes. If you use any of the stubbers, remember that you're supposed to brace them. Stop moving and crouch for even more accuracy, they're actually decent at range.
Psyker is a space wizard glass cannon. Really hard to pick up. If you're just starting out, I recommend assail, it's fun and easy to use. Kinda shit for locking you out of psykinetic aura (left side, best skill in the tree) but that won't matter until later.
Veteran is the shooty class. Uses guns the best, and has the most ammo. You still need to learn the melee combat however. Don't be that guy who gets backstabbed and dies to random chaff.
Zealot is the fast unga bunga melee class. Possibly the best for learning the game. Only really has one build for generic content and doesn't become versatile until endgame.

>post limit again
Just ask questions.

>>536280992
>what is the best way to progress?
Play the game on the hardest difficulty you're comfortable playing, with +10% exp perks in all of your curios until 30. Yes, it's worth it.
Use weapons with high rating. Upgrade them to at least 1 perk and the best blessing they have. You can ask for spoon feeding in the thread. Don't waste your mats on crafting the perfect weapon yet, you'll end up broke before you know it. In the blessing skill tree, you usually only need 1-2 of the best blessings at level 3-4, depending on the blessing, for the weapon to be strong. Don't worry too much about having bad stats or whatever.
If you want to accelerate your mats grind, consider playing havoc. Be aware that this is the uber hard endgame mode. Win a maelstrom game first before you talk to the ruski whore, it catapults your level forward by a bunch. If you win a havoc game every week, you'll be rewarded with materials for it, with greater rewards the higher your completed level. You can just view this as part of the grind and not worry too much about gitting gud just yet. You'll want a maxed character with ideally a metaslave build or three to climb, anyway.
Once you unlock Melk, check him daily and do his quests. Melkbux are a virtually useless resource, only good later on for buying curios. You don't need to autism your curios yet, so just spend your melkbux on buying high level weapons to save on other mats. You might want to wait for a shop reset after getting to 30 however, because that gives you the strongest weapons.

I'm not even sure if this works if you win a maelstrom BEFORE talking to her. Might have to talk to her first. It's been ages for me. Just wanted to clear this up in case it fucks you over.
