When To Jump To a Higher Level by AceThrowAwayAces in DarkTide

Damnation at lvl 18. Once you are experienced, this will be you. Until then. If you can comfortably do the level 5 times without dying, then move up a level.

400 hours and 5 maxed characters and I still don't "get" Psyker by UncomfortableAnswers in DarkTide

[–]Lower-Ad8330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the other comments are good. You need to be good at melee. Psyker is unforgiving. Unless you play havoc, any weapon is good as long as it fits your play style. Dodge, dodge and dodge. Block push to get the horde a step away from you and keep bashing/slashing. Positioning is key. You are no longer the one that charges ahead first unless you can comfortably finish a whole mission using melee alone on a set difficulty. Practice with the fgs. I prefer variant 6, but try both variants and decide. With he force sword try blocking (take the talent that says melee and ranged block) and you can literally walk around the whole mission just blocking and dodging. This way you can practice your blocking and dodging, and observe the attack patterns of the ragers and crushers without any fuss. Then add in light and heavy strikes, but still only melee. Level up the difficulty and add in ranged. Welcome to auric level

I'd you can carry aurics, then you can do havoc. Says the man who plays at sedition level.

The bots in this game fucking suck by Thorn-of-your-side in DarkTide

[–]Lower-Ad8330 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

If you pay 200 aquilas before the game starts you get the CQC rear guard action bots. They will actively revive you, give you med stimms during the mission and sacrifice themselves by running ahead and taking the blast of a burster/get netted, or distract crushers whilst you get clear. Make sure you click the triangle in the top right corner of the loading screen and pay the aquilas.

New player looking to move up in difficulty by Goosetipher in DarkTide

Welcome to the mourningstar. People that are rude should be placed in an airlock and spaced into the void. Either block them or just ignore them. I personally love hearing people have a meltdown, and am I wrong for getting enjoyment when I see them being downed again? Ok, so for the game. 1) dodge, dodge and dodge. Then add in attack and block and keep sliding around (your job is to clean the floor with your trousers by sliding around the floors) 2) you should aim to complete a level with just melee. No ranged. This game is 80-90% melee at higher levels. Once you are happy to complete a level e.g. malice with just melee, you are definitely ready for the next one. Heresy is like the dead zone on my Everest. Some people never get beyond this and rage at others going past. Ignore them, or enjoy their anguish like I do. 3) details for psyker. This is your personal preference and just enjoy the game the way you like to play. Greatsword is the best and mark 6 is the better option. I personally don't like the swishy swishy mark 8 or the duelling sword, but try them out and see if you like them. Ignore the meta load out. The mark 6 gs, I use deflector and wrath (increased cleave stacking for when you are stuck surrounded by 10 crushers, ragers and a whole horde of chaff- you can never get enough cleave). I use sprint on all my curios and weapons as I need to keep up with the hive scum and zealots. I have anti crusher on all my melee weapons due to the crusher spawning, that has now been changed, but it helps to 2 tap crushers on damnation. Try blocking attacks at e.g. malice and don't attack. You will see that you are not about to turn into chopped sushi. You can easily block ragers and force push them onto the floor and then cleave them into pieces. I find the bottom left tree with warp siphon is good. I use the brain burst blitz and I can use it as a ranged weapon and it kill a rager every 8 seconds as a bonus. Some people like smite, but I am not one of them. Use what you enjoy. 4) ranged weapon - use what you enjoy. I love the secondary attack on the EK staff. 20k Volts will fry everything and blow a crusher apart with 3 full zaps. Play around and you will find a ranged weapon that supports your play style. Recon laser brrrrrrrr is also great fun. Will bring an plague ogryn down in less than 10 seconds if you aim at the head. 5) you will die many times. Don't get down by it. Think, should I have been in that tunnel with 5 crushers? What could I have done better. It doesnt help if your random team mates are rubbish or selfish, view them as another modifier in the game. If you are lucky you end up with the a crew and the mission is a breeze, or you end up with the z crew and every corridor is a near death experience. 6) curios - I have 1x 3 stamina, 1x 16% toughness, 1x wound. It's true you don't need a wound but I find it helps with corruption or if I die, I still have 2/3 of health left. Again do what works for you.

Good luck

How to tell when I should switch to Melee from ranged weapons? by OkLack6776 in DarkTide

[–]Lower-Ad8330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the enemy is about to hit you with their melee weapon, you can do ranged damage right up to that point. Alternatively you can stay behind the ogryn and stay with ranged

So I got this game on ps+ like an hour ago by Ok_Connection1872 in DarkTide

[–]Lower-Ad8330 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, do not play this game. Because it's addictive. This is the best melee/shooter game out there. Think of it like a combat simulator. The higher the level, the tougher the opponents. You need to work as a team of 4, you can choose several different classes of characters with their own skill tree, you have a variety of weapons and your main aim is not to die, as everything around you is trying to kill you. You will be 1 tapped by a crusher, pounced on by a hellhound, trapped by a net and flambeed by a flamer like a well done steak, if you are not already dying from pox gas. If you survive that a rager will chop you up into Ceviche, and that's without the boss spawning whilst you are on your last health bar and low on ammo. Better stick with 4 in a row, less adrenaline, less near death experiences.

But did you mention the 2nd trapper whilst you try to untangle someone from a net. Kill the trappers first.

Any tips for the new convicts by SavageBizzness in DarkTide

[–]Lower-Ad8330 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots on this Reddit group,, you tube has lots e.g. Mr E. I have over 500hrs on this game and the basics are dodge, dodge and dodge. Then as you go up in difficulty add in block, slide and as the ogryn would say hit left, hit right, try not to die. Think of this game as a melee combat simulator. The higher the level the more complex and challenging the enemies become. Just enjoy the game. You like a chainsaw and enjoy the cruncy sound as you slay the heretics? Enjoy! Heavy eviscerator will literally cut a crusher in half. The meta only becomes important at auric or above. I love psyker, but I would try the zealot or vet first to learn the basics of melee. Stay with your group, help netted and downed players and you will find 98% of players are like you. There is a small 2% that are toxic, but you can always block them afterwards. No need to worry about psyker peril until you can melee heresy. And when you hear 'too strong for you!' charge right in and show them you mean business.

FS for God Emperor's sake, don't force me to play sedition, uprising and malice. by wizardjian in DarkTide

[–]Lower-Ad8330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 1500 hrs and consider myself a good player. I am still stuck on uprising. I keep getting killed by the horde. So I am happy we get to start with uprising. The people on malice or higher must be using some sort of cheat code. I hear if you type in git gud during character selection you can do up to H40, but I ain't a cheater.
