Yeah wow that's amazing. Maybe replace the specialist with 5% crit for more synergy? I'm pretty sure specialists are units that spawn in like the tox flamer and bomber which the bolter deletes anyways

And also don't crouch I think? There seems to be a bug where crouching causes certain weapons to become less accurate instead of the other way around.  It's most noticeable on infantry autoguns, but bolters suffer from that too if the crosshair widening when you crouch is accurate.

Internet Explorer posted:Making the crafting grind suck and then spreading out the ingredients all over the map was a poor decision, that's for sure. Everyone was doing this platsteel farm/speedrun/scatter thing on difficulty 2 before. I think now that the collective level is higher people are doing it on Malice now. Remove the crafting grind. FS really wants people to dig through the levels for stuff, what with random grim/scripture spawns and crafting. I don't really know why. You're already using the level for ammo and health items, and you're exploring it to flank enemies. Just give crafting mats for successful completion of the maps.

the ogryn machinegun is amazing for killing massive hordes or just mass CCing groups of shotgunners or charging hounds or plague bursters. you get enough ammo to run it pretty continuously and it does a ton of damage up close. its main weakness vs the grenade gauntlet is its reduced armor penetration, but when I bring the machinegun i usually bring a more single targetty melee weapon also if you choose the bleed talent on heavy attack you can make people bleed to death by hitting them with a gun over and over, bc the machinegun special bash counts as a heavy attack

I've also had quite a few battle-psychers who insist on charging ahead of everyone and meleeing everything. This is the best way to play the game at least up through Heresy except everyone has to be good at it

Yeah, there has to be a little bit of everything. I don't want to grind mats at difficulty 2. But I do want to get mats. But I don't want to spend all game looking for them. And I do want to be aggressive, because it's fun. But I don't want to be constantly charging into poo poo without a breath. You just gotta get a feel for your team. It's like dancing, I guess.

Also love how, much like the braced autoguns, it's nearly pinpoint accurate on the first couple shots in a burst, so you can snipe things with it by bracing and then just clicking lmb quickly to fire 2-3 round bursts.

bolter's a really good gun. they also modelled pretty effectively the feeling of you handling a weapon that's a bit too big for you, it's just sluggish to draw, and takes adjustment to get used to shooting. if it doesn't work for you, that's fine, there seems to be a pretty huge diversity of opinion on weapons here, but scoping and one shotting a sniper or mag dumping and killing two or three maulers is more than most other ranged weapons can dojuggalo baby coffin posted:the ogryn machinegun is amazing for killing massive hordes or just mass CCing groups of shotgunners or charging hounds or plague bursters. you get enough ammo to run it pretty continuously and it does a ton of damage up close. its main weakness vs the grenade gauntlet is its reduced armor penetration, but when I bring the machinegun i usually bring a more single targetty melee weapon it's slow to draw and pretty inaccurate at medium+ range, I have trouble hitting anything with it unless it's pretty close

The bolter is slow to draw and feels clunky, but there's no feeling like mag dumping into a horde, crusher, or monstrosity.

As for me, shock maul + bolter is really working for me. Being able to delete specialist and elites at range is a great complement to being able to wipe out a horde. Oh look, a sniper so far away he hasn't proc'd yet. *blap*

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:I recently tried some runs with the bolter on zealot with how much everyone praises it, absolutely hated it, wildly inaccurate It’s a super accurate rail gun that blows through light cover, like the gun from that Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. The iron sight isn’t ideal, it could be a wallhack infrared sight like that Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, but come on. If you were struggling with accuracy, either you had the suppressed debuff and didn’t realize it or the problem wasn’t with the gun.

380 is the maximum modifier total right? How does this new Recon Las I just picked up look compared to what I run currently? I feel like I'd need to change my playstyle for the current Punishing Salvo blessing, fire in bursts and let my sway reset before firing again. +20 against infested doesn't seem to let me one-shot walkers on center-mass so doesn't seem to do much for me.

So I ended up buying Vermintide 2 because of how much I enjoy Darktide (give DT some more time in the oven). Any newbie advice on weapons to shoot for etc? I also got the grail knight and the sister of the thorn because they seemed cool (may get the warrior priest for $2 before the sale ends too). The whole 'log in and check the store' gameplay thing is just not doing a lot for me.

If you like Kruber the DLC that gives him a shield and spear (Winds of Magic, I think?) is worth it. Fun weapon with good hordeclear, and on Merc it's incredibly fun and tanky without losing a lot of elite killing power. Plus that stab-from-shield special is sweet. Halberd is good but will require some practice to get the patterns muscle-memoried, but it's a very versatile weapon.

First successful difficulty three mission, disconnected right before the final boss died and got booted back to the ship with no credit. While I'm still having fun, this game desperately needs a good patch or two.

After hitting 30 on a veteran and now getting gear consecrated I’ve been able to play higher difficulties and find them much more enjoyable. It is very odd that lvl3 missions I would always find myself needing to use each med station but once I bumped it up to 4 I needed to less. I’ll look at everyone’s heath and they’re low and suffering from corruption and I’m sitting pretty with maybe 5 hp missing. Regardless, the higher difficulty games are more enjoyable but they are still plagued with bad players. I’m no pro but it is crazy how people will run off into hordes instead of waiting for them to come to them
