For real though, I used melee weapons to a fault in l4d2 and love Berserker in KF2, so I dunno. (Payday has really lovely melee that they keep making worse, so we'll ignore that one.)

More than they usually do. I’ve seen it once before in a rat. And I see it now in men. Once one gets a taste for its own kind it can spread through the pack like a wildfire. Mindlessly chomping and biting at their own kind. Nothing but the taste of flesh on their minds. You know the thing about a rat? It’s got no life in its eyes. Black eyes like a doll’s eyes. Don’t seem to be living at all when it comes at you. Until it bites you. And then the eyes roll over white. You don’t hear nothing but the screaming and the hollering… McGavin fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Nov 23, 2015 |

Also, I heard someone saying that potions of strength work on grenades letting you deal a ton of damage to a rat ogre quickly, anyone know if that's true?

This is me exactly. Shooting guns into zombies isn't that interesting to me, but slicing, chopping, and pounding them to bloody bits just makes me grin like an idiot.

I figured out the secret to using the Wizard's Bolt Staff: don't bother with the crappy left click pew-pews. Even on Nightmare, a right click fire lance with the bare minimum of charging will gib through as many clan rats as you can line up. Fully charge it for storm vermins. A minimum lance will hardly even use more heat than the 3-4 pew-pews it takes to kill a little guy. It is, maybe surprisingly, not that great against roger the rat ogre. One of her big advantages is having unlimited ammo, with slightly longer reload/cooldown times between big shots. Wizard does better keeping the horde away.

After they killed their king and took his crown, that grudge got settled. Also, it's not just dwarves who hate orcs. If you're an imperial citizen, orcs are one of the things that are trying to kill you like all the time, along with beastmen, chaosmen, and diseases from eating the wrong pies. Wood Elves also have serious problems with orcs, who are always gettin into their forests and trying to start fights. Orcs would work best as a spoiler, showing up in the middle of a battle and fighting everyone. They're not your friends, but they can help you by fighting the ratties before they turn to fight you 'umies and stunty.

When Heroic Killing Blow procs on a Rat Ogre, does the Rat Ogre body stick around, or does it disappear in a fine red mist like the instakill animation on mooks?

The pew pew works really well against Roger with a strength potion, especially if you have a high regrowth rating on it. It's possible to heal enough that by the time you max heat, you've healed all that you would vent back down to normal.

It's ok to not like games man, you don't have to puzzle out exactly why. Take a break, come back in a week or two and see if it clicks better and the patch/dlc thing whatever it is that is coming up.

There's a tweet about the December 3 DLC, looks like you can craft poo poo using ore at the altar? The picture just shows a sword or a bow icon so maybe you can't choose which weapon exactly you'll get but hopefully you can choose which character at least. https://twitter.com/VermintideGame/status/668930929897906176

The artists need to be shot. It's the guy on the back of the griffons that carries a big hammer, not the griffons themselves.

It's possible that the sword and bow could refer to melee and ranged. Perhaps the question mark includes hats and trinkets.

The Griffin is considered the Royal animal of the Empire (sort of like the lion and the unicorn in the UK) so it features heavily in their designs. The hammer is not only a sign of the Emperor but also Sigmar, the Empire's main God, as the hammer has been passed from Emperor to Emperor ever since Sigmar was given the hammer way back when. So having the Griffin stylised as holding a hammer isn't actually that unusual, the lion and the unicorn on the British Monarch's coat of arms are holding the shield with the actual coat of arms on it, and the lion is symbolised in the UK all the time. So yeah, not that weird when you think about it.

The dorf's over-under seems popular enough, though. Is it just the extra shot people like or does it actually do more damage, or have more range, or whatever.

I don't know why anyone would want to use the grudgeraker unless you got some AMAZING rolls on a legendary, and even then you want your ranged option to be a special slayer if you're playing soldier/dwarf so it better be tailored for that and not killing swarms. Why use a gun to fruitlessly knock out a few rats when you could CLEAVE 'EM IN TWAIN?!  Maybe they just don't know any better, idk.

Inaccurate spread weapons like the grudge fucker are still good for taking out some specials. Hook guys and assassin guys get staggered and go down even if they're in a crowd. I got disconnected during the run to the wagon of two consecutive Nightmare&Grimoire games. On 'Machines of War,' we wiped out two stormvermin patrols - one with a strength potion and a bomb, because it was in the way, and the second during some horde fuckery by accident. I want my loot rolls, I'm ready to cheat now. I got something called a 'trueflight longbow' for an elf, it's orange and it has 30% more ammo, and 10-20% chance to regain ammo on a kill, and something else with attack speed. Is that good?
