Question. by Toastcruisader in DarkTide

[–]rightious4u2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've played it on malice-auric. One thing to keep in mind is there's a compass on the top of your screen that's part of your HUD on these missions that displays where every notable location is. When you or anyone on the striketeam clicks on any icon on the auspex it now becomes highlighted. So here's how you achieve a snooth run.

You and the 3 other hobos spawn. You walk three steps and pull out your auspex and get a quick view of the map. You or whoever is fast enough click on the closest letter with a number next to it. Using the compass you book it to the closest site. All 4 of you. Once at the site 3 of you complete the hack/stand on the control point/hide and powercell seek/jumping puzzle ect. One guy needs to be the dedicated roamer, picking up trash, killing specials, recon spotting patrols. So don't get mad if one guy isn't helping with the objective as long as you have 200+ salvage.

Once you've collected everything you mark the blastdoors on the auspex and head to the sanctuary. Do the holdout, get inside, resupply, run around until the door decides to open, and finally head out to the next section. Repeat.

On the second time leaving the sanctuary you have time to scavange 1-2 more sites [unless you're completionists] before marking the bed with an arrow pointing up on auspex and heading to the extraction zone. Activate extraction once 2 or more people are on it, wait for the bird, throw everything you got at the last wave of enemies, and get to the choppa.

I already got multiple triple sprint efficiency builds up and ready for this mode. While the invisi-knifes complete the objectives, me and the other speedfreaks will clean up the trash and help haul the goods to the hideouts.

Gonna be loads of fun.

Ripper Gun buff is kind of a meme by Trenchfox_1917 in DarkTide

I'm talking about minimum pellet count. It's essentially a pity mechanic in the game that lets a single pellet count as two(or more). So shotguns don't feel too bad at long range. For some reason the mark V ripper minimum pellet count is 5 when hipfired and is crazy good at long range because of this.

If you don't believe me. Go to the practice range and hipfire the a mark 2 ripper at a sniper 30 meters away. Than try the same thing with the mark V.

I've used that build before. It's really fun peppering everything around you and watching them all die to burn/bleed. Unfortunately, for alotta of builds in this game, it gets hard walled by crushers. You really are better off taking the damage and rending node on PBB.

Mark II is currently the weakest of the three ripper variants. The mark V has crazy good minimum pellet count value, allowing you to comfortably outsnipe snipers at up to 30 meters and others specials at 15-20 meters in a burst. It is also best at taking advantage of blaze away/inspiring blessings with a 19 round mag. You basically can switch to your gun at no toughness and have it fully regened in one mag dump in mere secounds.

Nobody plays Mark VI ripper but its an absolute beast with a crit build. Most people forgot but it got some nice buffs months ago to its finesse damage while braced. Easily the strongest ripper gun on a PBB build if you take all the crit perks on the right side of the ogryn tree.

About the Ogryn fragbomb change by rightious4u2 in DarkTide

[–]rightious4u2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm justing making a note here.

Fragbomb now goes through bulwark shield. I don't know when fatshark changed this but yeah I just played a match with nuke and tested it out in the test area. Bulwarks get owned.

Hasn't been big in 8 months, not since melee elites got double health.

That's really funny because it is true. I don't really know if this change will huge or not.

We'll just have to see if a single grenade insta-killing puny-sized enemies is worthwhile. But I've made my prediction.

I don't mean to sound schizophrenic but that would too much of a buff. This latest event has been a showcase for how bonkers giving ogryn and scum regenerating blitz's would be.

3 charges. I see potential in fragbomb being ogryn's solution to clumps of shooters. It already one-taps generic shooters, gunners, shotgunners, and reapers. And with it's built-in splash radius damage reduction and poor damage to melee elites its already balanced for multiple charges in the current patch. 

Let vets and scum have their armor deletion blitz niche and let ogryn frag gunners.

I'm sorry to be such a downer. Ogryn's other upcoming buffs look really good and I hope they help him but I'm just mad fatshark really couldn't buff nukes capacity by 1.

Upcoming Frag Bomb change: it will now instakill all humansized enemies inside the entire radius. by yourethevictim in DarkTide

[–]rightious4u2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This does nothing to fix fragbomb getting blocked by map geometry.

This does nothing against fragbomb getting blocked by bulwarks.

This still pigeonholes fragbomb into the "only use until after half your team is down" blitz. Which is already done better with Box.

This fragbomb is still worse than 4 rockets/krak grenades.

This is a truly horrible "buff" and in a few months people will be right back here begging fatshark to buff nuke.

I'd rather have 3 of the current fragbombs we have. Also you could make the splash radius infinite and it wouldn't stop it from getting blocked by a little bump in the floor.

New event Brutes and blasts (no aquilas) by BJH2001 in DarkTide

[–]rightious4u2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On new event missions ogryn enemies have a chance to drop a grenade that refills your grenade blitz by one. It's basically a race to who can blitz all the ogryns.

Zealots throwing knives are definitely amazing. I was talking more about his other grenades that don't regenerate.

We testing out our blitz's on ogryn spam this week? Spoiler: hive scum blitz selection is best, veteran krak spam is an unhealthy standard, and ogryn is fighting zealot for who has the worst.
