What's a good way to deal with crushers as Psyker that isn't Voidstrike staff? Voidstrike rules, just looking for other answers

The single target Psyker sword, Deimos I think it's called, will nuke a crusher nicely with a charged heavy attack. I think just one hit but possibly a second quick follow up is needed, been a minute since I ran it.

I mean, if you want- resources are shared between characters, unless you want a new voice or to change your height there's no real reason to make a second character of the same class.

PSA: There’s a mod you can use to change your character height. There’s also a mod that increases the character creation limit. There’s also a mod that lets you heavily customize any gun, such as attach functioning flashlights to any ranged weapon.

Mods in this game are Real Good, basically. Nexus Mods is where you can acquire most of them.

Yes, they should be fine. There's been no outcry over issues at least.


Fatshark's stance on mods is that as long as you aren't using a mod to literally cheat, or be able to effect another player's experience directly while playing, it's a-okay. And I guess Microsoft is okay with it too for now, though I'm sure some assholes will end up ruining it somehow.

The only way you'd know of someone is using a mod without telling you is pretty much gone now since Cheer got added, I'm struggling to think of any mods you'd be able to notice a difference.

Brain Burst or Surge staff. Or I guess Smite if you’re willing to just wait for your team to kill it.

I got a Trauma staff with a brittleness perk on it and it makes Crushers vulnerable to Assail while also knocking them on their rear end. Haven't brought it into a mission yet but that seems good.



e: Eh it's not CRAZY good but it'll probably keep a herd of crushers on the floor while I whittle them down or the team gets around to killing them.

I'm looking for more like a battle rifle than a marksman one. I got sick of everyone stepping into my shot and want something that fights closer up.

I've been trying the Vraks 7 Headhunter and it's not bad, but open to other things. Vraks 3 with its burst was miserable even though I've seen some folks swear by it.

Vraks Mk. I is single shot when ADS. It feels sort of like a kinetic version of the Mk. XII Infantry Lasgun. With the full auto mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/87) you can mag dump too.

Plasma Gun.

Seriously, the only reason to be pulling out your ranged should be dealing with carapace/bulwarks/gunners and deleting specialists from existence before they threaten your team. Your other job is to be a solid frontline that can yell your friends toughness back up. A lot more classes have ways of dealing with shooters now so it isn't entirely Vet's job to, and the rifles all require you to ADS to get accuracy past a certain range (your face) and more time investment than a normal shot or charged shot takes with a Plasma.

Chainsword/Plasma is my preferred loadout for such a build and it's some real good fun let me tell you.

What're good plasma blessings anyways? I only started veteran this patch so I have 0 blessing stockpiled for their uniques, and I imagine the patch changed them up anyways so most info is old by now

Plasma believe it or not has always been pretty blessing agnostic because all of the blessings were poo poo, stats and perks are more important.


But now Gets Hot! gives up to 50% crit chance and that's kinda nuts so imo one of the BIS. The other one I use is Shattering Impact because the changes to rending make it actually valuable for hitting breakpoints on carapace things and helping keep monsters softer while shooting them.

Plasma also have very few blessing so shouldn't be too hard getting the right ones at t4. A good plasma can one shot bombers, and one shot headshot trappers with a normal shot.


edit:

here's the Plasma I use-

Have you accepted The Void as your lord and savior?
Partner and I graduated from T2 to T3 and so far it feels like people there are tagging the daemonhost way more often. Unsure as to why, but welp. We'll rescue you later.

Almost had a team-saving run last night soloing a fairly massive horde, taking down all the specials, unlocking the achievement for dodging halfway through it, then sprinting off to rescue them. Next room had a couple of shotgunners so I threw down my dome sh... threw down my... *mashes the gently caress out of F*... died.

I don't know what the hell it is or if there's some sort of movement delay but using my skill just doesn't work a lot. After mashing a few times it usually comes out but on reflex it's 50/50 if it'll happen on the first press. Nothing else in the game feels laggy at all so it's weird and infuriating. I don't remember it happening with the base skill so it's possibly something to do with a delay after quickly aiming down.

I have noticed this too, and with some other actions. My theory is that ulting does not have absolute priority to cancel some other animations/actions. I have zero support for this theory other than vibes

Very nice, but consider the following:

Instead of knocking a crusher down, you could kill it instantly, and the three standing behind it!

Yeah as much as I love the Trauma staff, they massively buffed the Voidstrike to the point all the other staffs are pointless.

I assume the next balance patch is gonna tune down a few of the outliers like voidstrike and assail knives (probably slower cast speed or increased cooldown, maybe with a feat to compensate).

I expect sometime before the december holidays we will see a new map or two and next year we'll probably get genestealer stuff that's been teased for a year and with luck a weapon crafting and customization overhaul.

I figured a plasma shotgun would be the easiest, most disappointing implementation, so that’s probably what we’re getting.

I just hope something is done about weapon bloat and they let us just customize a generic shotgun into the "lawbringer "kantrael" "agripinaa" versions instead of diluting the pool of weapons we get from missions/shop/melk.
