Kith posted:I have tried it on that difficulty, and it definitely isn't that hard if you use Focus Fire to extend your range and accuracy. You might be having difficulties reproducing that behavior because A) you probably don't play like me, who saves Focused Fire for thos exact situations and B) from the recording you posted, you appear to be using them on a Zealot rather than a Veteran.

Jimbot posted:I'll have to get that silly nonsense Zealot penance before they patch it. That armor is rad and no way will I ever accomplish that one without cheesing it (and even cheesing it is kinda difficult). There are several like this and I don't understand why they're so difficult. Even people with a combine playtime of 500k hours of the tide games will have trouble with some of them. It's honestly been kind of a pain in the rear end to cheese. I keep getting already mid-game lobbies with Zealots that are just completing the mission, people earnestly looking to pub tier 5 missions in their mid teens (sickos), or the rare occasion where I get to create a mission but there are no barrels or ways of self damage before the first drop down and I cant get any ranged mobs attention to come over and light me up. Spent like 2 hours trying this evening between myriad game crashes on mission start / hub reload. It's getting exhausting.

At this point I'm more concerned about killing 50 enemies stunned by my grenades within 10s. Outside of just chucking 2x grenades and whipping out a flamethrower into a horde I have no idea how that would work but then your team would have to be actively not killing things.

Just ask your team if you could try for that penance at some spot where you're likely to get a big horde, like waiting for the lift across the bridge on the water silo level. Have had two zealots in my parties ask to try that there, and the teams easily agreed to let them both times.

Is there a list of variants with different firing modes and alt attacks? I thought it was just the baseline stats that changed but I just found a semi auto only autogun and I’m pretty sure the base models are only burst

Cowcaster posted:what's the play for a psyker for hitting the weak point on the back of a beast of nurgle? just plinking it with basic staff shots? seems like trying to dig into it up close with a force sword strike (which would be my druthers) just leads to you getting swatted away by its aoe smash attack on the initial hit before the force strike goes off, which interrupts it, makes you take damage, and in one case gets yourself flung off a cliff to your death i didn't ever get a response to this so i'm bumping it in case a sibling has a suggestion because it came up again

I started pugging Haz4 just now and all four attempts died in the first 5 minutes. This last game I was with three sharpshooters and no one shot the loving sniper despite it being marked and them having zero melee pressure on them. It's 50m away bro I can't use my loving shotgun, one of you needs to press F!

Played my first few missions in Haz 3. Completed 2, though my other party members were level 30s so there was a bit of carrying there (level 5 Zealot here) EDIT: Game may be a mess but it is a real fun mess when everything aligns.

rideANDxORdie posted:Which braced autogun and which accatran lasgun do people like on veteran? I hate the way some weapons have different uses/feels but only a small change in name (MKII vs MK VII) or whatever. I'm getting close to 30 on veteran and haven't really engaged with the upgrading crafting but want to start setting aside good versions of these guns to upgrade eventually I posted about the Braced Autogun patterns a few pages back: Kith posted:The Columnus Mk II Braced Autogun is the all-rounder: it's got a nice beefy magazine and reserve ammo and its Braced stance gives you some auto-aim. Personally I dislike the Agripinaa variant because I like shooting a lot and its reduced ammo doesn't really enable that. The Columnus and Graia hipfire performances are more or less the same, the only thing that largely differs between them is the Braced stance giving either auto-aim or an increased rate of fire. I'm currently using a Columnus until such time that I find a good Graia to dump resources into.

Seems like that would kill a group of basic zombies on its own, if they don't fix that in a day anyway. Kaysette posted:I need more scrolls and wax seals on my top. Only reason I care about cheevos.

I just played a match with a level 20ish Zealot who was trying to speedrun the Torrent/Water Supply map on Endless Hoard malice. Within seconds I was pretty sure this was going to my third failed attempt of the night. It was the opposite. Guy was just a straight lightning bolt and we just struggled to hang onto his coattails. poo poo was wild.

DeathSandwich posted:@Kaysette: I think my point still stands. Interestingly enough, I got it tonight doing it only once (after having racked up 4 in a previous mission.) It shouldn't carry over but I guess it did. Considering I got Dream Team on a mission where we absolutely had deaths, that's weird.

Man, started leveling a pycher and I got to say the class seems almost entirely mediocre with the exception of the void staff. The most interesting thing surrounding the class is Soulblaze but as far as I tell it's hot garbage and doesn't even activate on common enemies. No wonder I don't see anyone playing as them.

Your brain burst is really the key ability and it IS good, I feel, it's almost needed on some of the higher difficulties, so long as your team can give you cover.

kalthir posted:Any tips on targeting brain burst? I'm struggling with getting the right enemy in hordes or at long range. While it's not always ideal, I feel like your brain burst has an easier time targeting specials if they're highlighted. That's probably just my brain playing tricks on me, but it is EXTREMELY accurate, and literally whatever your dot is currently on is gonna get selected. This is a good thing and a bad thing, as anything clipping that invisible line between you and the enemy before the lock on is gonna get targeted first. Thankfully Dregs and Scabs tend to be shorter than almost every other special, so aiming above heads is ideal. For snipers I usually just hold M1 and sweep where I think the sniper is sitting and it usually locks onto them no problem. Same thing works for hiding gunners, bombers, and other ranged specials. I don't gently caress with brain burst for bursters, and I don't think anyone needs any tips for targeting reapers, crushers, bulwarks, or maulers. They're so big it's hard to miss them. If you're aiming long range, definitely try to highlight them first. I feel like there's some stickiness to highlighted enemies, but again, I could just be seeing things. In a horde, just aim over heads. Most of the specials stick out like sore thumbs. Kaldaris fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Nov 29, 2022 |

Within seconds I was pretty sure this was going to my third failed attempt of the night. Like in Vermintide going slowly is always the worst option because you let the game spawn things behind you that sooner or later will get you and rise the chances of a wipe. If your team can go fast then go as fast as possible. Kaldaris posted:Your brain burst is really the key ability and it IS good, I feel, it's almost needed on some of the higher difficulties, so long as your team can give you cover. That part of your team giving you cover is the most important part of playing a Psyker. If your teammates can funnel a horde and keep it in place you can destroy it really quickly once you get something like the voidstrike staff and if they can kill quickly the horde you can be constantly on alert to kill specials and kill them once they appear. kalthir posted:Any tips on targeting brain burst? I'm struggling with getting the right enemy in hordes or at long range. Sometimes it can be difficult when they are in the middle of the horde but i noticed that if they are tagged I can target them more easily than when they aren't and most of the specials are taller than the rest so targeting at or above their heads usually works better than targeting at chest height.

deep dish peat moss posted:I do not believe this is true. I have nothing to base this on other than my own anecdotal experiences (and the confirmation of the two people I play with who said the game got infinitely easier after I told them this) but your overall damage dealt and damage taken is influenced by your total Rating value. For example, equipping a higher rating melee weapon will make your ranged weapon hit harder and will make you take less damage, even when you are not actively holding the melee weapon. You're right, I tested it too by swapping the melee weapon, and damage definitely depends on total item rating!

Kaldaris posted:I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling like that's the case. Watching one of jsat's psyker videos the other day he goes into how the targeting process work (or worked, in CB). It's basically a raycast from you, so it targets directly what youre aiming at at the moment of cast but in order to determine the actual target it first checks for elites/specials, before checking for trash level enemies. Wouldnt surprise me if there's an even higher check first for tagged enemies (which would be elites/specials anyway)
