I think I've killed like 6 Crushers in a magdump once because of all the critical hits.

Okay, someone help me out, I swear there was a data mine early in the game’s lifecycle that had prototypes of the trees we got, icons for unreleased weapons like the melta, and a cutscene model of a genestealer, but now I can’t find it on google.

It's fun to start a second ogryn because you can spend half a damnation's worth of plasteel to put Haymaker IV on your starter club and bonk the poo poo out of malice.

I don't know poo poo about chain axes. Bought this good set of stats for my zealot but it seems like Hadron may have been unkind to it. Suggestions? I normally play Crusher, knife, or Devil's Claw. edit: Also is there an option or a mod or something to bind the Battle Cry to a single button? My zealot halo with the hideous voice modulation needs more screaming.

Todays vet build on a theme: Melee focused with stealth based on a Striking Scorpion, really fun with the colomnus infantry and the new chainsword. edit: dropped the two points on the right that I just used for columnus shredding and went down to grab all weapons rending to boost the melee a bit higher.

If I had that I’d probably replace Infected damage with flak armor damage I guess. I never remember blessing names so no idea what thrust would be replaced with but maybe just a better version of it? I do like using heavy attacks. My problem with axes is light attacks get briefly “stuck” in every enemy you hit, which doesn’t happen with any other weapon, chain or otherwise. It’s like your attacks bounce off of armor with every attack.

That's the OG axe, and the lights are great for bruisers and stunning ragers (the saw damage it does that "catches" as other people describe now staggers ragers! it feels pretty good!). And when you rev it the first heavy attack switches to an overhead swing which solved my other problem with it which is it being hard to use a heavy rev vs single targets. Just spam heavy for hordes, have a great time.

I normally play Crusher, knife, or Devil's Claw. Afterwards I'd maybe test it in the Psykhanium to see if you can hit good breakpoints on Ragers and Crushers. If you're just a few HP's short of one/two-shotting them with the right attacks (including with Thrust stacks) then it might be worth slotting in +damage vs maniacs/flak/carapace, but otherwise don't bother. Oh yeah and the +30% impact strength talent is a cool pick for the OG chainaxe, since it allows you to stunlock Crushers with light attacks to the head. It's still faster to do the heavy special attack, but if there's multiple Crushers then you can whittle them down much more safely that way.

You can alleviate the "stickiness" of the light attacks by aiming your camera at head height. The locking action centers your screen so if you aim at roughly that level it won't feel nearly as jarring. It's a bit hard to explain, but within a few runs it becomes second nature. I'm a certified Chain Axe Enjoyer even before its recent buffs and proselytize its love and light. The axe beckons us all, do not resist its call.

Another option is to replace Thrust with Slaughterer or Thunderous. Thrust is fine, but for me the big draw for the Mk4 Chaxe is that its light attacks are extremely strong. Heavies are for clearing super-dense hordes; everything else you spam lights at.

I think chainaxe is pretty flexible though, so it can really be personal preference

Depending on your talent build, Bloodletter can be a very good option too. The special immediately applies maximum stacks of bleed (at rank 4) even if you immediately dodge to cancel the grind channel, so you can just move on to the next target in a lot of cases. It offers a lot of sustained boss damage as well.

Playing around with that vet melee stealther build, I think it's way more fun than zealot stealth. I don't think backstabbing bigguns as zealot is as useful as the huge amount of bonuses the vet stealth gives, and for bigguns the vet can just bombard things with grenades. The vet one you just use as a reactive survivability tool, fighting until your toughness pops and going dark to either get a new position or just exiting immediately for a huge toughness refill and damage reduction boost. The melee attack bonuses make it not feel any different swing speed and damage wise as a full melee zealot build, and then you're just so drat fast. It rules. It's more selfish than shouty captain veteran but if things go south you can always stealth pickup at least 2 or 3 of your teammates with the 2 charges.

I finally got an almost perfectly optimized plasma gun (one of the blessings is level 3 instead of 4) and this thing just cooks. I feel bad because I just tag things for the damage bonus, and everyone else wastes ammo/grenades on stuff I'm just going to vaporize in one second.

If you have the right keystone modifiers you're still providing a damage and/or toughness buff to your teammates.
