I'm at work and can't get to my PC to check the stats, but unless I misread it from a quick glance earlier, the loyalist 6th armor sets require 4,500 penance points, as the final reward on the penance scale.

I wonder if it would require a player to complete every single penance in the game to get to that level, or if there's a little wiggle room.

They look cool and power to anyone who earns them, but I know I don't have enough free time (or skill/luck) to knock out every single penance

I'm currently at 2470 PP. I have 10 of the Class cheevos to go (plus an extra one for the ogryn)at 10 points a go for 410 points.
There are 12 Tactical cheevs remaining (70 in offensive, 5 in def, 5 in team) for 80 points
There are 15 Heretical cheevs remaining = 150 points
There are 65 Exploration cheevs remaining = 90 on CT, 80 for Torrent, 80 for Metalfab 36, 100 for the Hourglass, 80 for Throneside, 80 for Carnival, 60 for Orthus Offensive = 570 points
There are 126 Endeavours cheevs remaining = 200 on CT, 150 on Torrent, 150 for Metalfab 36, 150 for the Hourglass, 150 for Throneside, 80 for Carnival, 100 for Orthus Offensive = 980 points
Total remaining points to obtain on my account: 2190

Add existing points, for total PP currently in game: 4660 total PP

You can skip a few.

VT2 is great and going back makes me miss the Ubersreik 5 and all the dialogue they have compared to the convict dialogue in Darktide. Also the handcrafted levels are way better.

Yeah, going between the two makes me realize how much more I prefer Fantasy. If the story is focused on humans, all anyone can say is "Emprah Emprah Emprah" and it makes you want an actual loving character once in a while. Rogue Trader has been a welcome, massive breath of fresh air for 40K in that regard.

Anyway, I really like this update.

It's hilarious to see pubbies suddenly stick together and bring their A-Game when penance titles are on the line. Ten Auric missions, zero deaths, purple title. Five Maelstrom missions, zero death, orange title. These are much better results than I've seen at any point in Darktide's release.

Lol I was on 6 out of 10 when I was melee dueling a crusher near the edge of a platform and a burster ran past my teammates who ignored it and then blew up just in range to blow me off the platform to my death.

Technically my fault and I’ll be extra situationally aware going forward but god drat lol.

There really ought to be a 2nd "big dude" class that can share weapons and cosmetics with the Ogryn. A hulking Beastman; chunky combat servitor; some kind of xenos merc; Fatshark has a lot of wiggle room in that category.

Anyone have any luck with the penance for smashing blue bottles in Carnival 2?

The penance suggests there's 12, but you can smash way more than that just in the first bit, so it must be like only blue bottles of a certain shape or something? Or maybe it means smash all blue bottles in the mission 12 times? Either way, I can't make any progress on it.

edit: It's a little shooting range off to the side of an early area, not smashing bottles in the map. Really poorly described penance.

Doing 7 auric maelstroms in row has made me very.... blech on specials. Oh look, 7 snipers. I guess the entire team can hunker down since there is too much horde to effective dodge anywhere close to efficiently.

A dozen mutants while we're hunkering? Time to be spent dodging instead of picking them off.

Bombers? Well we killed the first two, but the third one got a grenade off so we can give ground now.

What ranged weapons would you guys pair with the shovel and frag grenade for weapons specialist? How about power sword and frag grenade? I really enjoy the bolter but the swap speed is too slow for weapons specialist to be efficiency. I’m deciding between the columnus, plasma gun, and zarona.

musketeer build basically has zarona revolvers on lock. bash some heads, then quickswitch to pop some fool with your sixgun, switch back. the gun gets reloaded in your pocket thanks to the reload perk, you're basically maxing out your buffs constantly, it's exhilarating

Try the slug shotgun if using normal shovel or the lawbringer or kantrael shotguns if using foldable shovel.

Power Sword weapon swap can use whatever and the Mk7 recon lasgun is pretty solid as is the braced autoguns.

I honestly do not like the revolver for weapon spec, Plasma comes out at the same speed, has more ammo, cares even less about what's between you and the target and will 100% mulch any horde to bring your melee spec buff online. That and you don't need to ads, I'm actually tempted to make a Volatile plasma gun finally just for weapon spec.


I also want to try a Heavy Laspistol out, will have to give it a run and report back.

Bear in mind the term "on Chained Hit" for Shred. If any attack misses, your counter drops back to zero.

Tbh take Shred off and slap on Rampage. Rampage's text is misleading, it's a +power bonus not just +damage. Unless you're doing some kind of crit build on zealot I guess. Bloodletter is okay so it's kinda upper-mid of a roll. Grats on the 550 though!

Both correct. Repeated Hit sucks.
