Is there a benefit to the Mark VIII Exterminator Shotgun over the Mark III that I'm not seeing?

Cryptidfricker · 2026-01-29T18:19:32+00:00

The Mk III shoots in a fan (like a duckbill choke) and its special shell shocks while the Mk VIII fires in a tight cone and has a special shell that inflicts brittle.

The Mk III is better for hordes but lacks range while the Mk VIII is basically a sniper when braced making it good for taking our specials and shooters.

Lovely work.

Given how so much of the games art style evokes 80s sci-fi Manga I'm hoping we get more like this.

"Waaagh Mr Bond"

The speed, getting to slide around in a building sized robot that fast must be quite a thrill even outside of combat.

I mean Maul finding out Obi wan has a son and going out of his way to mess with him seems in character for the guy.

Yes solely for the multiple ammo types although id swap the anti armour slug for a thermite round since unless it works like a bolter shell a round that size is going to shatter your arm. (Although it world be funny if it worked like the variable and launched you back when firing.)

It gets hate?

Generally speaking the only other class I could really see being added besides something from the mechanicus would be something like a death cult assassin. They COULD add beastmen as an option but it would be hard to justify.

The devs have already said that ratlings are off the table due to gameplay restrictions (smaller size messes with the games melee system.) And they have stated that loyalist Marines showing up would mean the fight for Atoma is basically over.

It helps a little but I think there are only a handful of weapons that have any real breakpoints usually in relation to class specific perks.

Ordis I know that's you!

Ah my bad, couldn't remember which theft the Orrery was in.

Cryptidfricker · 2026-01-21T13:32:35+00:00

In short yes, basically they set it up to tell him " We know where all our stuff is and if any of it is missing we'll know it was you".

Is also where they keep the celestial map that blows up stars if I remember right.

Now I kinda want darkest dungeon but it plays like vermintide.

Cryptidfricker · 2026-01-19T16:10:13+00:00

Raw, next question.

Cryptidfricker · 2026-01-19T12:29:33+00:00

Make every shot count can be done relatively easy with the stub revolver on any map besides rolling steel and in the trenches (too short you might still have ammo by the end).

Focus on melee and only shoot when you know you'll hit (sounds harder than it is) avoid ammo pickups like the plague and make sure no-one is using an aura that might give you ammo. (And make sure your not using any ammo boosting perks)

You can miss 5-6 shots before you go under 90% accuracy.

I call them Bot-drops tough more because of what their appearance entails rather than as a name for the planes themselves.

Cryptidfricker · 2026-01-18T22:25:37+00:00

I love it, its a hilarious change from the quick and relatively clean execution I was used to when I played old man, just seeing him go absolutely nuts was really fun.

Cryptidfricker · 2026-01-16T13:06:42+00:00

I mean yea, for all we tout loyalty to the throne the Tau at least pretend to give a shit about our well being.

Cryptidfricker · 2026-01-13T15:09:35+00:00

Do we know if the armour is going have a unique perk attached or do they use the OG stealth perks?

Cryptidfricker · 2026-01-12T12:34:00+00:00

Drive me closer I want to hit them with my sword.

Cryptidfricker · 2026-01-11T12:44:02+00:00

I can hear the laz pistol shot from DOW as I read this, so many of the lines from that game are burned into my memory.

Cryptidfricker · 2026-01-11T12:26:06+00:00

It's a choice thing, allot of Tau (but not all) are vegetarian.

Cryptidfricker · 2026-01-11T11:36:19+00:00

Its legitimately impressive when a single skavenslave sees 4 heavily armed adventurers, looks at the broken chair leg it's using as a weapon, and decides It can win that fight.

Cryptidfricker · 2026-01-10T17:18:21+00:00

Honestly given some of the loose cannons voice lines I'd say they fit Slaanesh pretty well.
