ChickenHeart posted:Had a mission where the ranged Karnov twin appeared but our team was also built for ranged so he stood there and ate his bodyweight in bullets over the span of 15 seconds. They're meant to be fought as a duo so he'd be hitting you at range and throwing out AoE denial fart mines while his twin teleports behind you and does spin combos on you. Very much the makings of a nasty boss fight, but currently they're kneecapped appearing solo and without a shield.

What IS that shield thing in terms of lore anyways? Is it basically the same as the psyker shield and just powered via mind magic+warp energy? Is it some device? Is it just something from this game with no prior equivalent in 40k?

Take your pick really in terms of what it is in Darktide, here's a pretty big list of a lot of 40K shield types that it could be: https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Force_Field edit: in 40K tabletop terms it would be likely an invulnerable save such as the type given by an Iron Halo or Chaplain's Rosarius.

It's a Vortex Shield. Not familiar with the lore but I do believe they're technology.

There is about a 99% chance that they will alternate invulnerability shields and you got to swap between the two of them.

I think vortex shields are meant to be man portable versions of void shields. They don't deflect incoming fire but instead absorb it and deposit the projectiles somewhere else through dark age technomancy. That's why stuff like fire and people can move through the shields while munitions get swallowed up.

This game is so addicting. I don't even have anything I'm progressing towards right now, I just want to play more Damnation because it kicks rear end.

My way for dealing with a snipers as a knife zealot is to run directly at them while ducking and weaving until I'm in charge range and then I just stab them in the face.

I honestly think it's better to link to resources because usually those get updated for you automatically. Some of the OPs in SH/SC are hilariously out of date.

ninjoatse.cx posted:I have been playing this game off and on since beta and have never seen a good crusher from melk or the shop Same, I had to use brunt's to roll for decent 360+ crushers along with whatever the shop had I picked up overtime, still missing skullcrusher 4 but tier 3 blessings are usually good enough, melk or the emperor might give me that t4 one day. Took a lot of dockets and a bunch of plasteel rolling failures though. If looking to roll from Brunt I highly recommend getting the auto-discard mod and just buy one at a time and discard <350 items, otherwise you will spend a lot of time digging 300 modifier greys out of your inventory to sell.

There's a Brunt's armory mix where you can set variables like how many to buy at a time, what you want the minimum star value to be for it to stop, automatically sell under a certain amount, etc. it will even estimate how much you'll need to spend to get the value you are looking for. So you only press the button once, it does its thing, and you end up with the items that meet your criteria and it sells the rest. I am now always short on dockets. I have plenty of everything else. I buy from Melk's if I see a good blessing that I need so I can break it down.

It really is great they finally found the volume control for crushers and cranked it up a year later. Also I do find it weird that Maelstrom missions are technically less rewarding then just doing quickplay since you don't get the 10% plasteel from quickplay.

For secondary missions, how are they rewarded? I remember getting bonus for each scripture you find but I did a mission yesterday and we found 2 and got no points. Was it always this way?

Hmm maybe it's bugged? I have noticed no one wants to do it anymore. Especially grims, so even if it isn't the reward isn't enough.

Dockets are useless until you blow your 500k wad on trying to get decent rolls on a fancy gun before blowing all your plasteel with Aunty Hadron, to finish with a gun with excellent stat allocation but +1.5 stamina, + 8% crit damage and two lovely blessings.

Dockets are very useful until you've rolled all the perfect weapons you care about, which is a variable length of tome based on a per player basis. Still useful to me at least.

Its not like you dont get dockets for not doing it in a mission It's just +-4k extra dockets (out of +-15 - 20k) if you bother with the scriptures. I imagine for most people that's not nearly enough incentive to bother with em.

I thinknsceiptures and grimoires would be more valuable if they affected the quality of the item you receive at the end of a mission rather than just giving you extra cash.

That said once you start playing the game regularly if you aren't reading patch notes when they come out idk what you're doing and will never understand not reading them.

Fatshark relegating important information to patchnotes and blog posts and never providing ingame tool tips for new features has been their MO since Vermintide 1. There's a reason that mods giving you a better info breakdown are so popular.
