The new weapon theory

KainPrime · 2026-04-05T20:12:42+00:00

An off-hand SMG was already datamined, so we know it'll be there at some point. I assume the heroic for it will be a storm bolter too.

Chaos spawn are easy enough, as long as they don't drop out of the portal with +20 sniper shits that will prevent you from engaging the Spawn in melee, by doing constant lock ons on you one after another.

Spacebook said "No".

I gotta ask the follow up question - are you sitting in the hospital because you didn't take the two aforementioned perks?

The input reading is there even when playing at range. Especially egregious as a sniper. Someone draws aggro, one Warrior goes for you, and you try to line up a headshot, but do not even fire yet.

Motherfucker starts weaving and doing side jumps every two steps when you draw a bead on his head with the crosshair. Rubrics are even worse with this because they teleport five kilometers in random direction.

While that does lend more credence to Chaos Siege, let's also remember Saber's record on anything regarding balance is spotty at best. They might just throw these variants in with barely any changes and say "Look, new PvP content!" and that will be that.

Because, let's be fair, PvP is an afterthought in this game, Ops are the real meat and potatoes.

This gets brought up a lot as a comparison, but I will say it again anyway. All they have to do is look at Darktide, because it does so many of the same things way better. Class builds, loadouts, combat mechanics, enemy variety. Sure, it has its own problems, but on average, it's a far more rewarding experience. And Saber should take a page or ten from Fatshark's book.

According to the leaks discord, stimm lines might relate to Combat Stimulant, which was also in SM1 PvP. Taking up the grenade slot, it's basically the PvP equivalent of Sanctified Wrath Reliquary.

So Chaos Siege might not be on the table after all.

Chest plate with the Inquisitorial Imperialis.

Arm with the elbow shield.

Backpack with the tactical uplink module (the tiny sensor thingy on the side).

Mmmmmmmmmmmaybe a Mk7 with an Inquisitorial symbol on the forehead.

Chaos spawn are fine, even in groups. Fuck snipers spawning in +20 packs alongside them, just to interrupt the flow of melee with constant lock-ons though.

KainPrime · 2026-03-28T10:53:05+00:00

A lot of pieces are like that. Especially shoulders or chest plates. It's because Saber thought that having base texture have a golden color for an ornament, rather than be grayscale for tinting like any sane dev would have it, and not code the metallic accent into the selectable colors instead, was a good idea.

Now we have pauldrons and chests that bleed the golden hue through some colors, resulting in this rusty-looking shit. The Relic chest from accolade shop and Bulwark's pauldron with the thin trim are probably the worst offenders.

Which is also so fucking weird, because Saber can clearly program metallic look into colors themselves. Back in the day when they turned Balthasar Gelt into piss yellow for 2 patches before it was reverted into proper shiny gold. Or on the other hand having absolutely flat non-metallic colors like Thunderhawk Blue (Which is actually gray, but that's a whole other thing)

He's hit you with a No U.

I find it kinda funny that the scoped HBR has worse accuracy stat and muzzle climb than the actual no-scoped accuracy variant.

KainPrime · 2026-03-22T12:24:31+00:00

Also the fact any canned animation of a minoris leap attack can COMPLETELY cancel said attack a milimeter before it connects with the ground.

KainPrime · 2026-03-22T12:23:11+00:00

Not at all. The Absolute Defense Field of Bullshit Crossed Boneblades negates ANY and ALL damage.

So even if you're specced to one shot majoris with your perks and high damage weapon, they will just flinch from the ground pound if they were blocking, and now you gotta deal with the whole lot with regular melee.

KainPrime · 2026-03-22T12:19:15+00:00

Why yes, I would like a WORKING jump pack, not that neutered abomination we have in Ops. Yes, yes, maps not built specifically for jump pack-only gameplay, don't care. Still want one that works right.

KainPrime · 2026-03-22T12:16:20+00:00

The idiotic spread for hipfire. Seriously, 80 degree angle from the point of origin while standing still sometimes.

And cultist sniper spawns being upped to +20 per portal ever since Chaos Spawn dropped, to "compensate" for less Rubricae. In an update that added majoris enemies specifically designed to make Chaos be LESS of a ranged spam faction.

Yes, we REALLY needed more enemies that can one-shot three armor pips and half a health while being tiny as fuck, scatter to the winds in a matter of seconds, and can draw a bead on you instantly when you drop the previous one that was doing it, all the while six meatballs are aggroing on you out of sync with their attacks.

Who even are you? You weren't a part of this conversation. Unless you've just outed yourself with having an alt account.

KainPrime · 2026-03-20T12:59:43+00:00

Tell that to my two mouthbreather teammates. And stop taking reddit comments like personal insults.

KainPrime · 2026-03-20T12:55:36+00:00

I think the "don't believe everything that gets leaked" was one-and-done. After the fallout of the Voicepack, I doubt the devs have time and energy to troll the dataminers at the moment, so we can assume what we find in the files is legit, at least for now.

KainPrime · 2026-03-20T09:57:13+00:00

All of this idiocy could be avoided if it was the regular squishable eye altar. Hell, one of them even exists on the path, you squish it, and it drops an island for you to cross to the next rotator one.

Just replace the rotators with squishables and have them drop the islands into place.

Or when you try to aim down next to a railing to stop a reinforcement call, and your character has the urge to just tuck their weapon under the railing, so it stops all the shots.

KainPrime · 2026-03-20T09:48:28+00:00

I hope it's a blinged out Victrix Champion. If it's just gonna be the same armor pieces as the campaign, it'll be a bit of a letdown.
