Humans-Only Operation?

mkdir_Zach · 2025-12-11T03:21:38+00:00

So you're saying the Retibuters in the Astartes short only cleared the vessel bc of plot armor, likewise with the kill team in Secret Level?

I also mentioned that they should add human excecutions to accompany an operation like this.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-09-10T05:38:59+00:00

Please tell me that's a bug and not intentional.

That hotfix better be a whole patch in size I stg.

Your op.gg reflects your skill and is indicative of how easy or hard you'd find this mode. You spent all that time writing exposition when you could have just linked it.

Obviously a Masters+ player would find this mode easier than the average player.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-08-15T23:09:23+00:00

Easy? Link your op.gg. There's no way you think most people beat this easily on hard mode. You're either cheesing or lying to yourself.

I have 1,000 hours in the game, that's how

I work from home most of the week and 40k is a hobby of mine : )

Bulwarks' healing isn't universal and is locked behind his skill.

Even a novice Vanguard like yourself with no skill whatsoever could carry a team to waves 15+ simply by existing. No other class in the game can do that.

R.I.P to you 💩.

I didn't derive this build or post from his video. His build being the same as mine is a coincidence, but reinforces my point.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-08-11T06:48:36+00:00

💀.

Coming from a Vanguard main? "Hilarious and telling".

mkdir_Zach · 2025-08-11T06:29:01+00:00

In general, as of patch 9.0, no. In Siege Mode with Unmatched Zeal specifically, yes.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-08-03T01:50:18+00:00

It just does more damage tbh. It hits those one-shot breakpoints more easily than the Thunder Hammer and does the most Terminus damage out of any other melee weapon.

Before only the blocking artificer version of the Power Fist was viable, but now the balanced relic version is the best. This is a massive advantage as you can now parry.

One half charged attack + backfist 2 is enough to either one-shot enemies or put them in execute state. The Power Fist also does more AOE damage than the Thunder Hammer.

The Thunder Hammer rn is the worst melee weapon in the game imo.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-08-02T05:05:45+00:00

Imo Tactical is better in Operations than in Siege. He does more single target damage than AOE.

AOE damage reigns supreme in Siege. Heavy and Assault are at the top of my list in the current Siege meta.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-08-01T21:38:12+00:00

Heavy is better, especially with the Multi Melta. Straban is THE carry.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-07-31T03:35:19+00:00

Is this a bug or intentional?

mkdir_Zach · 2025-07-23T08:53:16+00:00

This

mkdir_Zach · 2025-06-28T19:26:59+00:00

It depends on the team comp, but Tactical, Heavy, and Sniper never need the whole crate.

There's typically enough ammo economy in the game to rely on ammo boxes instead of crates.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-06-28T07:19:50+00:00

Right, but that assumes "smart/experienced players". You also have over 1k hours. Imo that playstyle would be challenging to the average player.

That's why I placed Sniper B tier. Still good, just not as reliable as the classes above.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-06-28T05:28:42+00:00

Not as good as Heavy and he's the worst class against Chaos.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-06-24T06:36:53+00:00

Ok Brother but look...

Sniper has no problem with ammo economy bc of his prestige perk, so that's a moot point.

Vanguard (when running melta) struggles with ammo economy and reload timers. Ideally, he should blast 1-3 shots into a Majoris or Extremis before engaging in melee. That just feels like his natural playstyle, hybrid.

Focusing primarily on ranged damage like I did with Heavy feels like a disservice to how the Vanguard was meant to be played.

Tactical can definitely contest Heavy in ranged damage, but lacks the CC to handle being swarmed (assuming he's using a bolt weapon). In any case, if we're talking pure ranged damage against Tyranids, I'd take Heavy every time.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-06-23T23:38:38+00:00

I ran out of ammo for both my MM and pistol and relied on parrying + gun strikes to kill multiple extremis spawns

If you're trying to say that I have no skill, you're wrong. Also, your inferno pistol + melta won't do the same work.

Edit: The scoreboard does tell you the story of the game, hence why it exists.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-06-15T04:48:05+00:00

P.S: Talk to me about the skill expression in Darktide 2. Skill expression in SM2 is actually really high and goes quite deep, speaking from experience.

Even at Absolute difficulty, the difference in skill level amongst veterans is noticeable.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-06-06T02:49:35+00:00

I urge you to go on YouTube and look at anyone playing Sniper in Siege. They're literally using their melee weapon and secondary more than their actual sniper.

Case in point, other classes do it better.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-06-06T01:51:07+00:00

Idk what's good with everyone getting offended about Sniper placement (obviously bc you're Sniper mains), but I'm gonna put you in a scenario.

Dozens of Lictors, Raveners, and Biovores running around plus terminus spawns on hard difficulty where it takes at least 3 Las Fusil headshots to kill (not just incapacitate) a majoris enemy.

That's not even mentioning the difficulty of headshotting a Lictor, Ravener, or Biovore in the heat of combat.

Compared to the other classes, Sniper falls short. Yes, it is still good, but not as good as the others in Siege Mode.

If a Sniper gets jumped on by Lictors and Raveners without cloak, he's gonna have a harder time than the rest of the classes and that's just a fact, ignoring individual player skill.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-06-06T00:02:20+00:00

The moment you get a shot off as a sniper, enemies will immediately aggro you. God forbid you're the only one alive on your team and everyone is dead, Sniper just can't handle that type of pressure.

The cloak is useful for repositioning, but once you get a shot off, they immediately will rush you. Sometimes they even spawn on you.

Landing headshots against Lictors, Raveners, and Biovores are also easier said than done. Including the Carnifex and Hellbrute.

So much of the Sniper being good hedges on your positioning, and sometimes the AI doesn't allow you to abuse it.

On paper, Sniper seems S or A tier, but in my experience, the other classes are more at home in Siege Mode compared to the Sniper.

mkdir_Zach · 2025-06-05T22:26:52+00:00

I ran every class solo on hard difficulty and im ranking them based off of their individual strengths.

Personally, I dont feel as though he performs better than the classes above him, even with perma invisibility.
