What guns should I be looking for while leveling the Veteran?

All are viable, but the MK12 lasgun is S-tier by late game.

While leveling you can literally use anything that's blue because their base power ratings will be lower than anything you get at 30

Just use the gun with the biggest number as you level and you'll be fine - if you have a single target melee like a combat axe having a high magazine capacity gun is nice and vice versa

Once you get to 30 go chase weapons with base ratings from 350 to 380

Enjoy

Kantrael MG XII lasgun and the Boltgun are both top tier. Braced autoguns are also really good and really fun!

Below difficulty 4 you can do well with any weapon, though.

This Reddit post is definitely in line with my experience so far: https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/zh1l9l/i_battle_tested_almost_every_veteran_sharpshooter/

What are power stacks

I got a shotgun that has a blessing for +4% power when all pellets hit the same enemy and that seems both cool and lower numbers than I expect

This video says Power is a straight multiplier on damage:

Levelling Vet felt bad to me until I got whatever the "high capacity, high damage" lasgun is. After that I pretty much used Agripnaa Braced Auto all the way to 30. I tried the rapid fire Accatran lasgun a few times but it didn't feel great while levelling. I'm sure with feats and perks it's a fun gun though.

I wish they'd show a little icon cooldown in the HUD while blessings are active like they do for class feats etc

the braced autogun explainer has logged on

Mobility is absolutely the dump stat for Braced Autoguns. And most guns, really. The extra magazine size and reserve ammo will serve you EXTREMELY well since that's more damage per magazine and more ammunition per pickup. I highly recommend upgrading that gray.

I am extremely jealous of that gray roll and wish it was in my inventory instead of yours

at this point it's an "i don't know and now i'm too embarrassed to ask" situation but gently caress it:

are "dump stats," here & in general, something you want to minimize, or maximize? i swear i've heard both and i have no clue what the etymology's supposed to be either way

Isn't the penance just for a set distance? Take the recharge feat and the distance feat and charge at the beginning of a big encounter, then mash F and hope you get it

I always interpret "dump stat" as the stat that's not your primary focus but that you want all your leftover points to go into, the stat you 'dump' excess statpoints in, like "when your main stats are maxed dump the rest here"

Should be less than twice? I believe with the doubling feat your maximum move distance is 24 meters.

e: Oh wait 70m my bad

Apparently in the original beta the distance was 100m for the bull rush feat and it looks like they haven't updated the penance to reflect the changes

I haven't paid attention to psykers at all because I played one on the first beta. Does it make a squelching *blorp* sound while turning everything in a straight line in front of you into a fountain of blood?

Yea, the amount of weapons that are -fully- finished in the code is really sad considering how few we get in game. They need to be speed tracking all this out pretty quick.
