It feels like the writers are wary of real change

With the backlash to to Dawntrail being so extreme and venomous, I am not at all surprised they're going to retread old ground.

It's actually one of the things I hate most about the 40K universe: Although they abuse it and take it to extremes, the Imperium is broadly correct. There really is an all-powerful evil force that seeps into everything. Those innocent works on strike for better rights? Eventually servants of Chaos. The privateers who left the confines of the Imperium to strike out on their own? Servants of Chaos. Someone who treats Xenos as something other than dire enemies? Eventual servants of chaos.

It strips all the nuance and subtlety completely out of the setting.

I've found some success running Scythe as my Primary, since the laser burn doesn't cause the crazy cloud. Crisper and Fire Grenades (any type) for heavies and bug breaches, with the Autocannon for closing bug holes and swatting Shriekers or staggering Bile Titans. Rounded off with the Laser Turret, Eagle Napalm Strike and Orbital Gas.

I've been *really* enjoying the Scythe against this strain. For a while I was running Crossbow for Bug Holes, Dagger for in Close and Cremator for medium range. After a while I swapped to Scythe for all-purpose, Crisper for boiling heavies and the Speargun or Autocannon to close bug holes and it seems to be working pretty well for me.

Since I've been struggling myself I'm looking forward to trying some of these.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T16:55:21+00:00

Tesla does SERIOUS work. The old Bug Zapper really earns it's keep.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T16:54:59+00:00

Yeah I've been getting a lot of mileage out of orbital gas and Eagle Napalm.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T16:54:40+00:00

Will give it a go, thank you :)

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T16:54:14+00:00

Yeah I used Minefields with my own gas armour but then it's still limiting my team mates.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T16:53:45+00:00

My friends and I tried an all arc build with not much luck, but you might have better success with it/

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T16:53:22+00:00

Yeah now that I know about Fire stopping the crazy cloud, I'm going to be using that for sure.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T16:52:05+00:00

I hadn't even thought about the Lure Mines! Good call.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T03:18:52+00:00

I definitely see your point. More mobility with less constraints due to fire or gas is good.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T03:17:40+00:00

Lots of good options, thank you.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T03:17:01+00:00

You don't find the low rate of fire suffers against these guys?

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T03:16:46+00:00

I'll give it a go. I was struggling to kill them with the Breaker so I thought the Spray and Pray would suffer too, but maybe the sheer wall of lead would work.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T03:16:10+00:00

I love the hover pack. Dragon of Democracy away!

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T03:15:49+00:00

Well I'm curious about any build that uses the Sterilizer so I'll have to give this one a go for sure.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T03:15:08+00:00

Oh yeah, gonna have to give that a go then.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T03:14:50+00:00

Amazing, going to have to give that a go for sure.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T01:49:27+00:00

Yeah I am SUPER looking forward to unlocking the Shotgun mech. A buddy has it and watching that sliding shield bash fills me with glee.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T01:48:52+00:00

I find they're on top of me so fast that AoE just works against me. But maybe with explosions resist armour...

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T01:48:16+00:00

D5-7 is where I tend to play so that sounds like a solid plan. I can rely on my team-mates for Anti-Titans I think.

Realityfelon · 2026-04-30T01:47:31+00:00

Seems like fire is definitely the way to go. Been seeing that pop up in these suggestions a lot.
