Jesus, that sucks. That being said I've used it on my zealot and it's annoying af because the animation for the bolter means you can't just quickly whip it out and delete something.

On zealot I swap between flamer or Mk12 lasgun, depending on if we need horde clear or special snipes.

Usually melee alone can clear a horde fine unless it's got lots of elites mixed in.

Yeah, the sad part of vet is that it's so loving strong and all the best performing guns are kinda just there compared to the chainswords, hammer, power sword, flamer, so on.

Obviously the bolter is crazy visceral and cool but if I have to see that stupid loving racking animation one more goddamn time

I'm viable ladies.

y'all seem unreasonably angry by the bolt racking. It's literally the only thing keeping the bolter from blowing any other ranged option out of the water lol. I'll take it any day as a trade-off to the power you get with it.

The bolt racking is the only thing that stops the bolter from being completely OP.

The Thunder Hammer for Zealot feels very fun to play around with, but I wish it did a bit more damage. Doesn't always one-shot even the normal zombies, despite how slow and unwieldy it is.

Edit:

I'll take it.
Though that Deathspitter blessing seems like a joke. Is Power just damage?

Finally got a heresy clear on consignment yard, run was pretty intense was spending most of the mission under 50% health and overall run was about 35 minutes.

Darktide has a very good flamethrower, no idea why the single flame puffs don't light up the halls like the braced firing mode. Love the fire effects when they light up the surroundings.

Took this one from blue to orange with so-so results? Started off with +7% reload speed and overpressure.

Do Assassination, don't shoot until you get to the boss, dump all your ammo into his big unmissable shield. If an elite dies and you get more ammo back just dump that ammo back into that shield and hope it's 0 at the end of the mission.

Alternatively use something that does splash damage, since dealing splash damage to any enemy apparently counts as a hit even if you miss the main shot.

I tried this and... look I know it sounds hypocritical but another person doing a worse penance (stay low health as zealot, try to speedrun) loving ruined it twice. Mine is obnoxious, theirs is active sabotage.

The bolt-racking on the bolter is like spinning up the Heavy's minigun in TF2. Hell, at level 30 you can even get an instant reload with your active ability if 15 rounds of constant bolter fire somehow isn't enough for whatever you're deleting.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Had an EASY no melee hit run going (on the train yard end stage, super easy to not get melee'd there) and accidentally aggro'd a daemonhost and it targeted me T_T

Was a 4 Vet run, which is insanely stupidly overpowered - we just deleted everything, at all times, with zero bolter/plasma too (1 Lasgun, 2 Autogun, 1 Shotgun, 1 chainsword, 3 powersword)

It's the recon series. The VId is fastest/lowest damage, the VIIa is slowest/high damage, and the Mk II is somewhere in the middle.

Which one though, only really the VIb is good (and it's not that good due to ammo efficiency issues on higher difficulties).

Yea, just damage but charmed is nutty I can attest to that. It really ends up netting you 20-30 extra bullets per ammo before your added crit chance. Hold down trigger and just barely strafe side to side to eliminate most of the recoil.

is it just me or have they turned up the rear end stabbing to 11 in darktide. you'll go into a room, check corners, go to grab something, and get stabbed by something that physically could not possibly have been there before you turned your back. it is so fuckin annoying! especially because each chip triggers the shield break sound/visual effect

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

I say I hate the store rotation.

Goons: "Why are you defending loot boxes????"

What the actual gently caress.


Rotating store being trash and having a very limited variety of items is poo poo. It has NOTHING to do with lootboxes.

Let’s review what you posted, because on a re-read it seems less that “some people can’t read” and more that you didn’t really think about what you wrote actually means.

FileNotFound posted:

Yes it's still gambling - but with mats rather than waiting for the store.


I'd need to play game to earn mats. It'd give me a reason to run a mission to earn mats to gamble more.


Logging in to check store and then logging out is far worse imo than logging in to grind for materials to upgrade stuff.

1. Gambling with materials that you would have to spend an order of magnitude more time to get without being able to see what you’d get = good vs the random store

Being able to see what you get and being able to not leave it to chance AND being able to use basic currency is pretty sweet by comparison, even with the poo poo timer. You didn’t say that you love loot boxes, but what’s the difference between having to waste your time so you can gamble? Gambling and loot boxes are functionally the same thing.

2. Paraphrasing, but I’d said that if you need a grinding mechanic to play the game that your priorities are out of order. Because the game part of the game rules and having to rely on RNG on a single blind chance kinda sucks.

3. Logging in to check the store — that you see 15ish random items that you’re not forced to buy —is in no way shittier than having a dice roll where you get to see one item that you’re stuck with. You could always just check the store when you play the game instead?

The store takes the dice roll and makes it free — you get fifteen chances to get random items in the shop without having to grind materials!

To be clear, the timer on the store sucks, but it’s better than having to roll the dice and being stuck with an item (which you can still do at Sire Melk’s).
