On the throw the barrels at the warehouse level, how do you throw the barrel to the middle post? There's a plank and everything pointing to it but I walk to the edge, jump up and throw and it misses every time. The second time I try to jump forward to give it some momentum, it works, but I end up falling in. How the hell are you supposed to get the barrel there without falling in?

If you stand on the beam that exists for no other reason than to help you throw it onto the one in the middle, you can easily throw it onto the one in the middle. Without jumping.

Regarding the grudge-raker, I think the whole "ranged weapons are for special skaven, melee is for clanrats and hordes" meta is something that the community has imposed by way of groupthink more than an actual intended gameplay dynamic. I've actually had people bitch at me for bringing a (blue!!) grudge-raker on hard even though I'm packing a two-handed warhammer that smashes up stormvermin like nobody's business and wiping out half the skavenslave hordes five-per-shot. Likewise, the witchhunter's dual pistols strike me as an example of a ranged weapon that it's just stupid to "save" for special rats; it seems pretty obvious that the devs intended them to be emptied into onrushing crowds. I mean, jesus; the reason I stopped playing MOBAs is because of the aggressive, insistent metagaming by the community. Do we have to let Vermintide get taken over by this straight-jacketing bullshit too? SO yeah, upgrade the gently caress out of that grudgeraker and kill some hordes with it.

the grudgeraker with reload speed and spread reduction owns because it's still decent at long range as long as you're not trying to get sicknasty esports headshots and it does comparable damage to the handgun to multiple skaven at close range and has a much higher effective rate of fire because every reload is two shots instead of one that one i wouldn't use over another orange with those two mods but 1) it's an orange and gonna own anyway, 2) health on kill + penetration on a shotgun seems like a pretty cool combination

Ranged weapons for specials is a good idea. Two that are good for the purpose and one that's okayish is plenty though. A good horde killer is a good idea. Biggest problem is that if you can't rely on your team to have a good special killer at range you kind of need that ability, so it's the de facto best pick for a lot of players. Pistols are okay for specials and useful in a lot more situations, and they're good. But a panic button like that is crazy valuable.

Use that orange grudgeraker, it looks awesome. Playing with goons the special vermin are usually the ones that die first anyway and if you wipe it's usually because people got careless running barrels on engines of war or something and the buttstabbers surrounded them. Play what's fun and what you're good at, gently caress the metagame

While the rifle is awesome if you find yourself constantly needing the range to snipe a Special that other guns don't give people should stop wandering the gently caress off. Being able to snipe is nice, it isn't actually required. Stormvermin die just fine up close too.

Eh, I can't count the number of times I've been thankful for being able to quickly shoot a packmaster in the process of dragging an ally away, or a ratling gunner spinning up his barrels, or point-blank a stormvermin, or take out a gas-lobber without having to chase him halfway across the map, or get the drop on a ratsassin before he can leap. I would like to give the shotgun and repeater pistol more of a try, but the pistol is just way too good at what it does. It's not that I want to show off my MLG 360 noscope skillz, it's just that the pistol lets you take care of a bad situation without having to break formation. EDIT: Also, holy poo poo is this a different game when you're not hosting. A lot of the crazy dance-y anti horde warhammer bullshit that I love just does not work unless I have 0 ping.

Spent several hours bashing our heads against nightmare Wheat & Chaff the other day, come back today and we finished first try on an ultra smooth and easy run. Then we proceeded to complete nightmare Well Watch + Supply and Demand first shot as well, no problem. I almost feel like Fatshark secretly made the game 90% easier over the past 24 hours that I haven't touched Vermintide. Glad to have nightmare completion out of the way though. Now I can get back to doing things that are at least slightly more loot-profitable than NM Wheat&Chaff/Well Watch/White Rat, which are pretty loving dire in that regard.

Had a great run on hard horn last night, I'm getting much more able to avoid damage and between that and my heal on kill weapons I'll use maybe one healing item if that. Pubbie team insisted on doing ammo room strategy, fine whatever I'll run out and blow the horn since I don't have a tome or grim. Rather than cheese the beam I hunkered down in the corner at the bottom of the horn fighting whatever rats didn't rush the ammo room and survived the whole encounter to jump into the lift with the campers at the end, hell yeah. Then got a crash to desktop during wizards tower that we were crushing with the same group which kind of sucked  Managed to follow it up later with the total opposite, one of those where you just know it's going to go bad immediately. People running off getting nearly downed by a basic horde before even reaching the pig pens. The whole time I was thinking "we're going to wipe on the rat ogre". Sure enough it hits at the inn and they refuse to kite it outside and dwarf and witch hunter both die, elf and I alternately downed but managing to pull through. Get up to free them and run back to get the tome, there's like 3 unused healing items about ok we're back on track. Wrong! Horde coming as we're about to cross the bridge breakpoint into the tower, hunter and elf jump straight over while I'm trying to cover the dwarf lagging behind who inexplicably turns around and engages the horde on the roof in the open instead of retreating to the bridge, even lobbing fireballs to clear poo poo for him and him having a shield he's downed again and dies and I already have a tome so that one's lost. When elf asked "beam or ammo room" and snarky hunter said "beam obviously" I didn't even bother arguing. Could not finish that game quickly enough. I should be doing nightmare but I'm just so attached to my fireball staff, I don't wanna switch back to beam :/

So I got an orange recurve crossbow for the WH with the eagle eye trait, the one that says it lets you zoom further. I tested two crossbows, one with the trait and one without, and it seemed like the zoom was the same so I figured the trait was broken like a goon was saying earlier. Turns out, the trait isn't broken, you just need to use the special attack button (the same one you use to fire the rapier pistol) while using the right click to zoom in and lo and behold, IT ZOOMS EVEN FURTHER! It's not a huge difference, but it's definitely noticeable and appreciated, so don't throw out those eagle eye trait weapons just yet!

Hmm. I feel like there's a big gap in player attitudes between Hard and Nightmare. On Hard, people seem fairly laid back and moderately skilled. As soon as you knock it up to Nightmare, it's like flicking a switch: everyone is either textbook-perfectionist or bloody awful, and the perfectionists aren't interested in anything but exploiting, collecting their loot, and leaving without a word.

I really enjoy playing nightmare, play hard with pubbies and nightmare with friends. Nightmare seems to have just the right combination of punishing but doable. I need to git gud before I can think about cataclysm. This is a great game. I've been using the repeater handgun on the soldier since I have a blue one, and I've quite liked it, it's a bit more forgiving when you've got some latency and miss a headshot than the arquebus is. I can't stand the repeater on the witch hunter though. Still haven't gotten an orange.
