get a pre-made group and do the Repair mission that involves replacing the coolant. After you finished the final objective and are heading to the Valk, don't kill any of the pox walkers spawning on your right and set up on the bridge close to the Valk. It helps to have two Ogryns for this, one with a shield, just start pushing and holding the horde there for a bit till it looks like the spawns are petering out. Press your Charge button and you should get it! Did it last night with goons to get it done.

Yeah I'm planning this eventually, at least the doing it with friends thing. We can all get the skin!

I think I just had to put this down for a while until another patch or two fixes the stability problems. Darktide, you're a beautiful game and the combat is tons of fun, but you're the crashinest, disconnectinest game I've ever tried to play in my life.

I have a brand new 30 psyker. Any tips for builds? I really do like the idea of the force sword survivability build.

Here is what I'm rolling on my Psyker.





For feats you don't really have many choices besides toughness on quelling in tier1 and peril resist per warp charge in tier2, everything else ranges from not good to actively doesn't do anything like quell speed.

Force sword: grab whatever force sword you can with deflector if you want to block bullets, stuff like dueling saber and combat knife are still decent choices and highly mobile if you are content with just blocking normal hits like some kind of none-psyker space peasant, the shove and shove attack are both very easy to spam and stagger a lot of enemies immediately similar to a ogyn shield shove, use the basic shove often.
Dump stats for the sword are probably damage and first strike and maybe mobility, warp resist only if you don't intend to use the special action but it's rather good, it goes from costing 45 peril to use to 13 at 79%, mobility is important for living for dodge distance and movement while charging heavies in my option and otherwise you are just using the sword to make space before going back to a staff.

Voidstrike: Transfer peril is top tier and will let you just constantly chain into hordes without stopping to quell, dump stats are blast radius and charge speed with quell and warp resist just being "nice" to have high.
Purge: I don't have too much experience running it compared to void, but it's a flamethrower, it does flamethrower things, dump stat is cloud radius and probably a little quell speed, try to get high burning for 15 max stacks and high application rate.

For curio's I'm running max health and 10-12% block efficiency on everything, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if block efficiency didn't do anything for peril blocking because :fatshark: I just haven't tested to see the difference, would love if someone did though so I wasn't just relying on gut feelings of it doing "something".

Sadly can't offer any tips for actually getting these items besides watching the shop like a hawk and picking up good bases and hoping the upgrades hit the right blessing, I used a 300~ force sword for a long time because it had deflector.

In closing, being able to block bullets is fun and let's you distract gunners with a shield your veterans can shoot past.

Crusader I'd guess. The tabletop RPG Wrath & Glory had a Crusader class that used power sword and thunder shield. Plus "Templar" might get confusing as zealots already refer to veterans by that name.

I think the most recent patch borked something with my game. I've been playing without any cashes or DCs since launch. I've had one game out of six where I didn't CTD, and I've crashed multiple times in the social area. Really sucks now that I've found a build I like and fell into a nice groove with my zealot.

Also, the Stub Revolver has absolutely beautiful sights, both hip-fire and iron. I love this thing. Most other guns need sights as clear as this.

I don't know, I'm finding it kind hard to pick out individual ranged enemies while aiming down sights with the boltgun. Admittedly, that might be because mine only has a Stability of 46%. I really need to find a better one.

You didn't make characters in VT, there were 5 and that was it, they never added any new characters to 2. The subclasses just got added to the characters and they each had 3 on release that you could swap between freely once they unlocked.

I would imagine this will be largely similar, there are 5 slots currently I think and only 4 core classes, I bet for awhile they'll only add subclasses to those classes so you won't need to make another character anyway.

Then if they ever did add another full character class, they would probably add a slot at the same time just so folks who have made 5 characters for whatever reason don't have to delete one.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
I'm still trying to evaluate guns properly, how do these compare? I just saw the heavy one in the store, and I think heavy is generally preferable for recon lasguns, very slightly worse overall modifiers. Headhunter is probably a better Blessing right? Although I can reroll that. Something just feels weaker about the Heavy one right now, but it's only a blue for the minute so maybe it will be better when upgraded?

Not comparing individual traits, but the viias big thing is that it takes two ammo per shot but has innate punch through higher than most other lasguns, which makes it really good at chewing up hordes and even sometimes getting elites that are being shielded by mobs. I generally prefer it over the ii. The Vid is the opposite spectrum without punch through but with the ludicrous firerate that gives it a very high dps without losing much accuracy. In general id say a good talent for the whole recon line is infernus if you can get it, they have a higher base crit than other lasguns. Iis just kinda in the middle, fine stats but it doesnt have the special abilities of the viia or the dps of the vid.
