Nehru the Damaja posted:I downloaded the weapon customization mod and it's neat. Does the flashlight, when modded in, still bother daemonhosts? My instinct would be that since it's all client-side, it wouldn't, but I kind of don't want to test it. For the record, if you add a flashlight to a gun this overrides the special attack. For some weapons this is a useless (maybe not anymore?) sweep of the weapon stock or something, but you don't want to put one on Plasma because suddenly you can't actively vent except for a reload. And yes, it does spook Daemonhosts. And while technically the mod is client side, I'm pretty sure other players can still see the flashlight if you turn it on. edit: similar to how the For the Emperor mod worked, other people could hear you using it even if they didn't have the mod (or any mods) installed.

UP AND ADAM posted:What is the structure of missions. I've heard there's like a mid-mission challenge where you're doing a big hold-out against waves, or scanning artifexes or whatever, as a yard marker for the middle of the mission, but beyond that is there some reddit nerd diagram of the exact encounter structure and pacing of maps? I feel like someone should have documented this at some point. I feel like I could probably do this from memory for a lot of maps e.g. the Archivum mission goes:

I feel like deja vu asking this but - when you reduce staff charge time with Warp Flurry (or a better charge time stat I guess) do you reduce the amount of peril taken per cast, or is the same amount of peril crammed into a shorter period?

It reduces the amount, but only the peril generated while charging up and not the final cast itself. Like on my Trauma staff for example, the initial charge generates 19-20% peril while powering up and then an additional 4-5% when the explosion detonates. At max Warp Flurry stacks, the charge-up peril drops to 15-16% but the 4-5% remains constant. megane posted:all while the best music in the game plays (this is the "mid-mission event") correct

Certain pennances being straight up broken (vet resupply, for example) has really killed my motivation to work on pennances in general, even if there's obviously a bunch that I can do no problem.

KPC_Mammon posted:What are the important stats for a kickback? Out of the modifiers you can probably dumpstat Mobility and Reload Speed. Blessings you want Surgical and Full Bore, perks probably Flak and Maniac ideally but I'm running the blessings I mentioned plus Ranged Crit Damage and Reload speed because I had to change both blessings. It fucks out to a way longer range than you'd imagine and you can really just face punch all the baddies charging at you. I don't know if I'll run it more than my stubber long term but it's a fun change up.

toasterwarrior posted:wait why'd you want to dump reload on a kickback, it reloads after every shot Well admittedly I did a mixture of guessing at it plus looking at what I was running. I haven't looked at what the actual breakpoints are for the different stats of the kickback. But for me reload speed is one of my lower stats and it still felt pretty quick to me.

I gave chainaxe/bolter a run and its a fun loadout, chainaxe chewing up carapaces and bolter blowing up crowds is a novel combination, but it's really hard to compete with eviscerator/revolver, that combo is just the perfect generalist loadout.

The poor bolter really needs some work. It's clunky and slow and it's got low ammo and a small mag, and it just doesn't hit hard enough to justify all those downsides.

You want 80 damage/stopping power/range on the kickback, ideally you'd have nothing in mobility and 80 reload but reload is ok to sacrifice a little for 4-6% slower reloads in exchange for max range and damage. Surgical is top tier just because of the option it gives for guaranteed crits, full bore is a little bit tricky to actually use because you'd have to zoom in like 5 meters away from a boss to actually hit it, expansive is nice if you prefer to just shoot once into a crowd and melee after, blaze away is nice if you like to unload constantly into a crowd, but has anti synergy with surgical.

megane posted:The poor bolter really needs some work. It's clunky and slow and it's got low ammo and a small mag, and it just doesn't hit hard enough to justify all those downsides. It felt like the best way to use it was hipfiring two round bursts. I rolled one with 80% damage and good reload, I could understand why the magazine capacity was low but the swap speed feels excessively slow. As a Zealot I was keeping it as an emergency crowd clear without my beloved Eviscerator and I nuked a haz 4 beast of nurgle with a full magazine, but I just wish -switching to it- wasn't as bad as reloading it. For the moments when it is firing it's very fun. The chain axe feels hyperspecialized as a can opener and it "sticking" to shred on every light swing took getting used to, but it cooks on a wounded Martyr build. I bought a nearly perfect one from Melk and it rolled Rev It Up 4 as its last blessing and it's just such a fun little guy. In the end Evis+Revolver feels really really solid and I hope all weapons can find their way up to that level of stability.

I wish you could just bring up weapons without doing an H&K slap or whatever. At least it's not like back at launch where you'd do a big, slow rack of the charging handle every time you switched to the bolter.

The long animation for pulling it out is clearly intended to be a balancing factor to how strong the Bolter was, but it's just not worth it anymore lol. Especially since Plasma is so strong right now. All ranged weapons do have an animation or pull up time, it's just that some are so short it doesn't actually matter. I know at one point in a patch notes that Fatshark said swapping to melee being instant is intended, but going to ranged needs to take at least a minimal amount of time as a balancing feature.

Vet could use a little brushing up in spots but it's got some really great talents and doesn't feel underpowered at all to me. Smoke grenade is bad and the auras could use a few better options. The right tree in particular has some bad talents (stuff like 10% chance to throw an extra grenade) making a melee / close quarter vet a little underwhelming. Voice command is freaking amazing right now and paired with Tactical Awareness is almost always available.

I used to use bolter on Zealot to kill all kinds of elites. You could build one to take out Damnation ragers in 2 shots, meaning one hip fire mouse click. But now rager health rose more than bolter damage did and Pinning Fire was basically executed (note the increase to heavy enemy stagger resistance further cutting the true power of PF beyond the direct number decrease). So I still keep a bolter on Zealot because I'm stuck in my ways but I have to skew all its modifiers towards keeping its ability to kill Crushers at acceptable speed (6 shots). Ragers need 4 shots now.

With both revolver and knives my zealot is consistently #1 in specialist kills. It does not feel good at all to pull out the bolter, by the time you pull it out the specialist could of got out it's ability and doomed your team or some stray enemy on the side smacks you and you end up shooting the ceiling and floor instead with the recoil.

Especially since Plasma is so strong right now. Yeah I want to like the Bolter but it’s janky even with controlled bursts and kicks too much for using the sights long distance. I kinda wish they had bolt pistols instead with a compact, then medium size and space marine (size of a rifle) fuckoff humongous pistol with varying levels of power, explosive aoe and kick. Don’t know if that is possible but I’m sad as the Bolter is almost THE weapon of 40k and I’d like to use it but it kinda sucks compared to everything else. Kinda wish it was more like Ripper or revolver. On good news: the heavy laspistol has become my weapon of choice for my zealot. Yeah it’s not super powerful but it’s accurate, no kick and tons of ammo. Since I’m using my eviscerator 99% of the time it’s perfect for those elites out of knife range and, best of all, I almost never need ammo. Will easily pop the odd sniper or flamer tho. Love this pistol as the revolver felt too easy and low ammo count meant I’m competing with the rest of the guys for ammunition. Now I just milk what I have and give the rest a knife or the Emperor’s redemptive saw. Really nice choice so thank you. Speaking of Zealot: I’m going chant and knife throw but anyone got a fave similar build they use? Definitely laughing at cross play as I’ve seen a ton of combat knife zealots and plasma vets in games. Also waaay too many gun ogryns. No way I’m giving up my eviscerator as I love this weapon. Not even thunder hammer is as satisfying. Wish I could take flamer but the randos I team with love to ignore snipers. So anyone got a cool build? Thinking of damage with missing wounds but you guys know more than myself. Caveat: I play on Xbox
