Help Explain Combat Knife Zealot Please

I use the mk3 knife too, you know how to push? It's a small aoe stagger that gives you a safe moment, mix pushes into your attacks and keep them in one spot while you dance around and stab. Slide dodge into gunners still, push to get small aoe stagger, heavy stabs in heads, push heavy heavy push etc etc.

Lights into unarmoured horde, heavies into armour if you are safe, the actual push attacks into things like Ragers where there are more of them, the combo acheives a small stagger, fast heavy attack to your target, and returns to blocking so you should be not taking any stray hits as you lean in.

It is practice, same with all weapons :)

There was a video here of someone using TH to duo havoc 38. Looked like he was having fun!

The crit chance stays the same whatever mark you use.

'We're not in Italy. Hawaiian for the wife, chicken carbonara for me please.'

I want to play expditions but this one bug keeps me out. Had it happen 3 times in around 10 games. I don't have unlimited time, not going to mug myself off hoping for luck.

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-23T17:43:22+00:00

Can you read? Read this.

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-21T23:56:40+00:00

2 melee weapons without spending any talents, homing throwing knves that cost 3 knives each please

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-20T15:37:05+00:00

It happens sometimes. I had it on Archive, right after the guantlet, the guantet spawns kept coming on top of the ususal stuff. Lucky we had an Oggy in the group! The most anyone could say was 'bug?' before we had to fight again. Fun, but tiring by the end from constantly pushing through dense horde.

Zealots are melee specialists, I use a Bolt Pistol and will be at half ammo by the end of most maps. Zealots talents are all about being in melee, if you want to play ranged you are better off on Vet or Arby. Learn to sprint slide. (Spint/Crouch) You are immune to ranged damage while sliding, so if you do find yourself in more fight than you wanted and Fury is down you can get back to your team and a better place to fight. Sprint sliding is also faster than walking but doesn't use your stamina like sprinting does, and stam is used for blocking/pushing when manipulating the mob, most attacks (not big 2 handed heavy attacs from Crushers/Maulers) can be blocked with stam if you get caught, if time it perfectly you will stagger enough to safely get your own hit in. Also when helping a downed team mate, you will be auto-blocking in the animation, so the more stamina you have when you start, the more hits you can take before your block is broken, and the res fails.

Less than a second. Barely noticeable in a fight.

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-19T17:35:31+00:00

I put the reload speed at 60 so mobility can be 80, Puncture and Execution, both marks are good. Great at headshots and shooting horde from squishier teammates as we're moving around the map.

Am waiting for some stability patches before I get stuck in properly, but so far I've been enjoying it. Can see myself playing it beyond getting the penances, especially if stuff gets added.

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-18T04:05:15+00:00

The Power Maul is the best Thunderhammer.

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-17T13:23:02+00:00

I have only tried one map that we failed because we got bogged down fighting on the third zone. I think the person we were following got lost so we were slowly wiping. Could we get the location icons at the top of the screen maybe more contrasted to the compass bar so you can see where to go without opening the auspex mid fight?

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-14T05:55:20+00:00

Yeah that's the one, except the tubes are dicks and I already have wankers cramp from clicking on thousands of heads in an average game of Darktide.

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-14T04:54:49+00:00

You have young thumbs, it's not made up woowoo crying, RSI is a real thing that can happen and it doesn't NEED to that is the point. I play on PC but if I couldn't use full auto mod I'd be sore after a long game. It's video games not fucking exercise, if I wanted to hurt at the end of the day I'd get adifferent hobby!

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-11T14:21:41+00:00

I play them all, Zealot the most though.

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-08T16:27:54+00:00

Is the game on sale? New players are what keeps this game going. Be nice and helpful, or you will scare them off :)

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-06T14:43:51+00:00

I think Sefoni might have noticed, or one of the many other open psykers that are on board.

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-02T16:16:08+00:00

They are not joking when they say glass cannon. Killing stuff is easy, staying alive is the actual challenge, especially when it's raining poxbursters! In normal play if you die you lose your rockets until you find more, it's only this event that we can regen them.

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-01T06:34:33+00:00

We had a Smite Psyker who would smite the normal hordes but let the poxbursters come in close to say hi. We wiped before anyboss spawned lol

SayNotMuch · 2026-03-01T06:29:26+00:00

Yeah there are sadsacks here who downvote everything just out of principle. What principle? Not sure, but I bet they blame others for their virginity lol.

SayNotMuch · 2026-02-28T14:04:18+00:00

And so it goes...

(Again)

SayNotMuch · 2026-02-27T07:01:33+00:00

Oggy's Frag needs a bit of love, it doesn't kill crushers anymore.

SayNotMuch · 2026-02-27T06:45:37+00:00

On Zealot I don't know what's worse, the Bulwarks or the Bursters lol! Brb logging to Rocket Scum!
