It's certainly a strange choice to make the chainsword and combat knife have the highest damage stats out of the lot. Similarly making the melta and plasma the AoE weapons that deal mediocre single-target damage when they're usually terminator-killers otherwise, and the flamer is right there in the campaign.
>>
>>506679376
It's fucking retarded that neither have any meaningful cleave, they could have just made chainswords good against Minoris and the powersword for Majoris on up, you know...like the board game.

Brothers, what's the up side of using a Balance weapons?

I'm currently using the Thunder Hammer on Assault and have been pretty good with the Blocking version but it becomes tricky when going up against a Lictor because of it's erratic movements. I was thinking of using a Balance version on a run but not sure what's the benefits of it when Fencing can just parry everything better (imo).

when using block weapons are you just suppose to not attack so you can farm 3 stacks for adrenaline surge?

Is there a mod that lets me have more mastery points for my weapons? I'm tired of being forced to pick dogshit like "increased damage for 5 seconds after killing 10 enemies in quick succession."
>>
>>506687375
only good use for block weapons imo:
vanguard with melta
you block when something is about to hit you, you dont force the 3 stack, its just nice when it happens. you generally get it when fighting 5+ majoris wich is also when its actually valuable.
advantage of block weapons on melta vanguard: no gunstrikes, they are terrible, unsafe and interrupt melta-ing majoris packs
less ranged damage taken from block weapon is also very valuable when you are kneedeep in majoris (you get a less ranged damage taken buff as well, this is lesser known)
big melee damage is generally nice, you can just clobber down smaller packs of majoris with your chainsword/dagger. again, its dumb to force 3 blocks against smaller groups or single majoris. just block when you would normally parry and keep attacking them. this uses the 20% damage buff right away but damage with block weapons and some melee perks is already so high that they die in a few lights/heavys depending on weapon.
the 3 stack adrenaline really shines against melee bosses. carnifex and helbrute chainattack you, wich will give you your 3 stacks. if they dont do some aoe charge bullshit after you can dps for beeg number.
also vanguard has increased parry window, makes it a lot easier to perfect block.
also regains a lot of health, wich you are more likely to loose because you are using a block weapon. the melta also is cHP insurance since it reloads every 30s when you drop to lowlife, so you can regain that HP instantly with 1 melta shot.

block is dogshit on assault, don´t let anyone fool you. its obviously also absolute ass on bulwark since he just wants to reliably parry.

the answer for the crayon eater melee variant actually is to pick the crayon eater career with the crayon eater primary.
>>
>>506687375
2 is good enough. 3 if it's like a 1vs1 vs ravener or terminator

Ideally, it will give us a chance to earn additional cosmetics, and it's going to have an 'infinite' number of waves with scaling difficulty, leaderboards (this one is far fetched but would be a cherry on top).
And give us some prestige progression ffs, it would go a long way much like the horde mode.
>>
>>506683958
Round based mode with additional modifiers to boot. Allow for a three-way faction battle - spawn units from CSM and nidders so that they fight among each other but mainly target the player squad. Maybe let us play as chaos marines eliminating guardsmen and nids alike. Something like that

This must be some inside joke I fail to grasp.

fall of atreus is the easiest op to do solo for me because it has like 12 stim spawns, add a guardian relic to the equation and it's doable solo on lethal. just hide behind the train and you're set.

>>506689464
i really like jetpacks which is why i play assault. and i read it works on ground pound because its considered a melee attack
>>
>>506692338
red but blue is good also
>>
>>506693286
it does work on ground pound, but you have to activate it with ground pound so the duration does not run out while in the air.
getting off 3 perfect blocks and then ground pounding fully charged is doable, but anyone claiming they pull it off in a escalated situation on lethal is dreaming.
imo assault using block weapon is making a shit class even shittier. you WILL fumble at least one block and on assault you can´t reliably gain cHP back, because assault sucks massive dick. makes assault into even more of a stim-eater and i rather eat crayons.
you obviously also dont get nearly as many gunstrikes and the 50% increased gunstrike damage is one of the very few redeeming qualities of assault.
>>
>>506693116
welp guess it broke my game. it used to take 5 tries to start the game, but now i cant even get it to run at all

>>506690109
It's gonna feel and play like shit if they don't remove all their fun limiters like our pathetically low ammo capacities, over-heating on guns that are actually worth using, pathetic melee weapons, and requiring headshots to do any damage without running out of ammo instantly.
>>
>>506694224
they'll just tell you to pick a lower difficulty.
>>
>>506691617
They picked Salamanders because all they need to do is a reskin of the Alpha Legion Sniper who also has a scale cloak.
>>
>>506694537
Lowering the difficulty won't do much to fix those issues, even my Relic HB needs like 7 body shots to kill a gaunt on Average.

i actually liked Gadriel and Brother Ronnie Coleman, it's sad that this is probably the last we'll see of them.
i feel like the campaign could've used exactly 2 more missions to feel complete, one to flesh out Gadriel and one for Chairon. it could'e been something simple like just a mission that introduces Valerius early on and has him do something cool so we give 2 fucks when he dies

Chances are you'd have an ammo crate that resets after every wave but has a limit as to how much you can pull from it like with the harder difficulties for Operations, since I don't see them actually making massive fuck off damage/ammo economy improvements for the Bolters, considering they see 1 extra magazine for the ABR as an improvement

i'll be honest i don't even know what i want out of this game anymore lol.
i'd like alot more variety but that's not happening so i can cope with Astartes mode i suppose.
being so slow with actual updates (not patches/cosmetics) is killing this game, fast.

The game is dead, let the general die

The updates incoming are just piecemeal cosmetics

Then drop a couple of massive DLCs during the first two months to retain a 100k playerbase minimum
>>
>>506696592
none of my issues are with the gameplay loop actually, i quite like it. i suppose minoris are annoying and it's stupid how much more of a threat they are than majoris, but i got used to it.
my issue is with the content or lack thereof.
in an ideal world, this game would've had 10 more months in the oven, released with 1 more entire faction (necron or orks), horde mode, and a campaign that's 2-3 missions longer, and the tyranids would've had more varried majoris instead of Tyranid warrior + weapon.

The timing on the balanced parry is meant to be more prediction based than reaction based, though with how saber decided to make fencing parry the best of both worlds this isnt a particular strength on balanced. Balances currently has a better stagger AoE that has a 3.5? 4.5? Meter radius as opposed to fencings 2 meter radius. In that sense, balanced can give you a better control over a horde if youre able to pull off parries. The stats on balanced weapons are also usually superior to fencing weapons in terms of damage and speed, but this isnt true for all weapons mind you. Current patch also gave balanced weapons higher base damage so theres that too. If parry is all you do than fencing is still the best option.
>>
>>506687375
No, you just attack whenever you have a chance to. 3 stacks is only when you know you have a high chance of getting it (warrior whip combo or ravener combo for example), but many of its benefits are not directly tied to it being 3 stacks. The damage buff is based on stacks yes but each stack is a 30% damage buff that lasts 2.4s after youve began an attack, and is therefore very easy to maintain. Similarly, the ranged attack defence buff is immediate gaining 1 stack, and its a massive 60% defence against ranged attack.

Those Ultrasmurfs should have showed up in the campaign instead of the Smurfs just soloing all the problems in the sector

Vanguard has actual mobility and has a ton of perks that aids in survival such as ranged damage reduction and healing on execution. Assault only has gunstrike armour and its often not even the best in slot depending on map/faction/weapon.
>>
>>506709063
Vanguard's final perk lets them heal 10% for every Majoris kill.

Assault has no heal. Even Heavies and Snipers can regenerate armour and health by just shooting.

SMG sniper is extremely fun.
go invisible, charge a melee that has like 20 damage modifiers, you're still invisible for 2 seconds, enough to empty an entire SMG clip into their skull, whatever you hit with it is now exectuable, execute it, by the time the execution is finished your camo has recharged and you go invisible again, rinse and repeat.

i don't understand fencing.
like i get that it makes parrying easier, but if i'm already good at parrying and learned all the parry windows, which are not that hard to begin with just follow the animations, doesn't that mean i should just use balanced since it's functionally the same thing + better damage?
>>
>>506736680
Fencing used to give you extra frames and converted them all to parry frames, then it converted all frames into parry frames, then it converted all block frames into parry frames and frontloaded the parry duration, now it just frontloads the parry frames and can only parry enemies on screen rather than any attack that occurs. This was originally very valuable because you could parry any attack on reaction and chain parry with no delay assuming you succeeded the parry (or just infinite parry before the first set of nerfs added back in the vulnerability frames for missing your parry window) but now there's no real point to fencing weapons and you should just use balanced (or block if you really want) for pretty much anything other than the knife (Almost all knife combos can be interrupted mid-attack so reactive parry is still solid).

TL;DR Fencing had a purpose, it no longer does, so don't bother with it.
>>
>>506737176
i see. it's interesting seeing it go from the mist broken weapon to the most useless one
>>
>>506702897
The only time you should bother with balance is with a Vanguard wielding the combat knife and the perk that buffs your perfect parry window by 50%. Its not quite as good as a fencing weapon but its not that far off, and the balanced relic knife attacks way faster than the fencing one (which not only increases your dps but lets you slip more attacks between parries).
>>
>>506739782
I like balanced more than fencing on sniper. I like going invisible and charging the hit all the way, it does x2 out of camo so the higher the base damage the better for it. Also like the other anon said, parrying in this game ain't so hard that you need large windows for it. The animations are good and telegraphed

>>506706103
>early quarter 2 or very late quarter 1
I'm guessing the latter, since we're 4 months into the game's life and we're nearing towards the end of S2. Personally, I'd like them to switch the release of horde mode with PvP stuff from S3, since it would be a bigger draw then an afterthought PvP (even with extra maps). Or just swap the free updates from S3 with S2 altogether. There's need for a more random PvE mode.

Tactical too OP as usual
Assault is kek
some of Sniper and Heavy's perks are useless, also no extra ammo for Sniper or more headshot damage
Also Heavy does not have more Iron Halo duration and durability
>>
>>506765603
This will just force Assaults to just speedrun to find mobs and get killed faster that way since sticking around with their team will get these mobs shot to bits by the time they ground pound.

What they need is a perk similar to the Vanguard where instead of healing per execute, every gunstrike heals them, at least with that they're forced to cooperate and stick together.
>>
>>506766116
Nah. My idea is better.
>>
>>506764910
Assault and Bulwark are the designated melee classes. But unlike Bulwark, Assault doesn't have any option for health restoration. Nor does it have a big ass shield. Armour regen on gunstrike is handy but situational. Seeing as melee is the worst designed part of the game, assault suffers the most.
The best perk for Assault on that prestige list is no knockback on gunstrike, because then at least it should cacel out health damage taken during a good amount of the time.
>>
>>506767731
I don't think that's how it works.
You'll still take damage just not get stunned.
>>
The disc twirling takes too much HP

You get hit once then some shitter shoots at you and now you're dead
>>
>>506767935
right but gunstriking when you've contested health restores some or all of that health. So if you get hit during gunstrike but before you actually shoot, you'll get the health back, as well as your armour pip. There's still about a half second where you're fucked if your hit, but its at least something.
>>
>>506767731
Assault is supposed to simply not get hit. That's its design, using its mobility to avoid the damage to rather than mitigating it, and that's why it has dodge perks that increase the dodge window and give ability charge on perfect dodges.
It's a neat idea, but they failed to give assault the ability to zip around by making it rely on external circumstances to get back charges on its long ass ability cooldown.
Give it a third charge, halve the cooldown, make the dodge perks baseline and replace them with either parry perks or damage perks, then reduce the size and/or damage of the ground slam but give it a nice modifier if it only hits one target so it still wrecks extremis and the like.
>>
>>506769785
Its impossible to fully mitigate damage. That's not the type of game. And definitely not with dodge only style.
Also it's just not aesthetic. Vanguard's the zippy mobile looking type.
>>

Like with all bolters (minus the infinite ammo GL build that tries as hard as possible to act like the bolter it's attached to doesn't exist) it only becomes "tolerable" when you get it to the last tier. Of course, it's only ""tolerable"" when you get the accuracy version and build the class to get as many pierce bonuses as possible and exclusively use it to mag dump into Gaunts/Tzaangors and let everyone else deal with Warriors/Thousand Sons

They have 6 fully confirmed successors, 1 suspected successor, and then the Steel Confessors who are absolutely Iron Hands but the AdMech won't admit it.

White Scars are useless, Games Workshop wants nothing to do with them and would love to retcon them as Chinks or Japs so they can market them properly. No one wants or likes Space Mongols. They're the most useless Chapter in the Heresy and after, only the Iron Hands have it worse.
>>
>>506803672
I find it funny that Jaghatai was Vulkan before Vulkan was cool; a guy wholly concerned with the plight of the common man, to the extent that he largely abandoned the thickest fighting at the palace during the Heresy to focus on protecting the rest of the world from the traitors despite being explicitly told that he would more likely than not die.

Good day/evening, Brothers! I am happy to announce that over the course of the last couple of days I have been working to bring you this update of the Dude Wall. Both image and website versions are now fully updated.

- Numerous new Dudes coming from latest submissions have been added to both Image and Website versions of the Wall;
- (Website version): Frames have been added to various Chapters, Successors, Unknown Foundings and Chaos Khorner;
- Missing name banners for some submissions will be added within 1-2 days.

The process of adding frames is slightly more taxing than I initially assumed. This is the reason that they appear to be added at random rather than in an organized fashion. But rest assured I will complete it.

There is also the matter of Phantom Links’ separate Wall. While it is an interesting concept I’d rather keep all Dudes together on the Wall. I believe it is the best place to display all our Dudes. Perhaps we can find an alternative solution to this conundrum – making a separate section just for Phantom Links, much like for example the Loyalists or Unknown Foundings.
I hope this will be a good way of handling the matter and that it won’t disappoint Brothers who came forward with the initiative.

Thank you for all submissions and as always, keep them coming, Brothers!

=IMPORTANT=
>**High quality version of the Dude Wall is already available on the website**
>**For more comprehensive info on submissions please refer to: https://rentry.org/dudewallsm2g **

Glory to the Imperium!

>>506808483
Assault scales well in Ruthless (except in Reliquary), just not in Lethal.
>>
>>506808483
keep faking it until you get to level 18. Then relax. Then start having fun at level 23. Then stop having fun at level 25 when you start doing lethal.
>>
>>506808483
i´d honestly recommend switching. assault fucking sucks. brings nothing to the table that other classes can´t do. even bulwark has more reliable melee damage, and he has a partyheal and refuses to die.

some times when i click block my marine doesnt block, like he just gets stuck or something. and gun strike are a trap because he pulls out his gun in slow motion and all the little nids eat your health
>>
>>506812758
gun strikes are not really a trap, just need spacing. they only suck balls with melta, since you actually just want to shoot the melta in melee
>>
>>506806460
Thank you Brother! Those frames are a nice addition. Your work's appreciated!

I wonder, why we didn't see any of the Grey Knights in the campaign? We got Deathwatch because xenos (and Titus being in its ranks ofc). But shit got real pretty fast once T'sons showed up on the block. I know GKs are supposed to be ultra secretive but an incursion like that would at least justify sending a squad down to Demerium to deal with the threat.
>>
>>506825160
The Imperium moves at the speed of bureaucracy for one, everything was done by the time any kind of news even reached the Sol system if it ever even did.
Further, the Grey Knights only care about daemons. This was an assault by the Thousand Sons with a single digit number of daemons, so the Grey Knights likely wouldn't give a shit until or unless it spiraled out of control and Magnus showed up.
>>
>>506825160
It took like 3 days from the TS showing up to the incursion's end. Calgar managed to receive a message and get there to help quickly, which I assume he only managed because he was nearby. For grey knights to get there they'd have to be in the general vicinity AND for someone in position to send them some info, considering the nid presence.
And even then, one greater daemon and some side dishes isn't THAT major of a daemon incursion. It's more ordo hereticus than malleus.

Scratch that. Anons >>506826491 >>506826578 laid it out pretty well, but how the hell were ultrasmurfs designate to deal with the daemon in Secret Level Episode? They had to have known or have suspicion bordering on certainty that it was chaos shenanigans of high magnitude (see pic related). I'm probably drawing at straws but the events shown in EP5 would warrant involving GKs. Or maybe it would more of a ordo hereticus thing just as well, as Anon mentioned >>506826578. Thanks for reading my blog, but I just like taking things like that apart and analyzing them.

Again, Grey Knights don't get out of bed for anything less than a full on daemonic incursion. Secret Level was just a clusterfuck of cultists and a possessed sorcerer in the middle of a literal shitstorm.
The last few campaigns the Grey knights embarked on involved them going after a specific daemon prince, and whatever else they happened to fight and kill along the way was of no consequence to them. Hell, the last time the Grey Knights fought tyranids, they "took heavy losses" from a handful of warriors that were ultimately more concerned by the daemons than the space marines and the Grey Knights were ultimately inadvertently bailed out by a daemon prince who took out the nids because they were in the way. They're hyper specialized and have little experience fighting anything else, nor do they have much desire to gain said experience.

Anon who in the last thread asked about model painting, here. I decided to get myself a GK Terminator Squad. I figured I want to start with something I can wrap my head around.
I gotta say, I'm really excited since this will a first for me. I want to put them together and systematically get to painting each one without rushing. A question, should I go with citadel paints or are some viable paint alternatives? I don't want to cheap out on that, but I'm curious if feasible to achieve similar end result not going for GW mandated ones.
>>
>>506872407
Last I checked citadel had some of the best metallic paints on the market, so since you're painting GK that would be a good option. For any regular flat colour I'd go with a different brand (my choice is vallejo, but I've not really tested around much). Shades and specialist paints I'd also generally get from GW.

Why does this matter? The skins are just cosmetics that have no bearing on the story or do you somehow think the master of the fourth company is in the game?

campaign is short but decent.
the multiplayer operations are a decent challenge if you want to solo them but they are built with multiplayer in mind. you're not expected to realistically solo any of them on the harder/hardest difficulties.
also the game is missing a bunch of content that's locked behind a gay battlepass forcing all of us to wait, it's basically early access.
get it anyway, it's not like it'll a big investment for you.

Well, they might as well pour all their resources (all of 2 people + the janitor) and focus on horde mode to release it with S3 or right after it in some kind of in-between update. It's not space magic to see that a mode with waves and additional modfiers will attract more people and bring more retention to the game. Not that it's so abysmally low, but larger group of players would be there to stay.

They never intended for us to mow down hordes in this game, the fact even the weakest mobs have dodge, parry, and execute mechanics on them, and the laughable ammo capacities make this clear.

I have no idea who this game is for, why give us huge cool guns if they don't want us shooting them too much, and give us melee weapons that have next to 0 cleave.

Did Saber actually think that whittling down giant hordes of enemies one at a time was engaging?

>>506960170
At the very least, Helldivers won shit at the game awards despite Arrowhead employees spamming explicit furry porn in their official discord and banning anyone who complained, had another PR guy have to issue a public apology because he spent an entire day going out of his way to be an abrasive dickhead to people, had multiple rugpulls when it came to rewards, continually nerfed everything while telling players their diminishing fun was a skill issue, had the CEP step down to a lesser position due to how angry the playerbase was, and revealed that the developers are absolute shitters who can only just barely manage to clear a level 5 mission with good spawn RNG.
Space Marine 2 might be an unfinished mess, but at least it's not that bad.

Half the people left within first week (going by steam numbers). The famed peak of 225k lasted whopping 2 days. And it's nothing that hasn't happened before SM2. For now it's doing fine in terms of players unless we take something like Helldivers as a metric for a game being dead or alive. In this case majority of titles fail the test.
The key thing is for the devs to get their shit together and actually play the game once or twice when they change something. Plus listen to players who play it (more then people making it apparently). Also, releasing the horde mode earlier, which is a tall order I know, would go long way.

He's right in the sense that the Operations classes are hard coded to be the one of the guys that show up during the campaign as the secondary squad you meet before each mission. It should be even more obvious with how absolutely fucking dogshit customization was at launch and the fact that you STILL can't get genuine customization of the CSM in Eternal War that customization was something that was thrown together last second

We might still get vanguard raven guard...maybe.
>>
>>506993614
i don't know what's recommended, to me, fall of atreus seems like the easiest because of the abundance of stim spawns and because a 3rd of it is taken care off by the dreadnought

True but the train bit makes things go by really slowly.
I always prefer decapitation for grinding.
Then again I think with enemy waves and extremis spawns being what they are, it's prolly all more or less the same it the exception of Reliquary.
>>
People saying that one melee type is useless while i think they both have their uses (by both i mean block and balanced, fencing is pointless just git gud at parrying with balanced lol)
Nids have alot of parryable moves -> balanced
Chaos are mostly ranged with rarer parries -> block
>>
>>506994538
Wouldn't that mean you should go for block on nis?
More blocks = more adrenaline charges to keep the damage going.
I haven't tried it yet so it's genuinely just theory though.
>>
>>506994765
no, no matter how many charges or damage buff you get parry will always be better, because you get I frames and slowmo to react to any situation, and you get some damage in, and most importantly, you interrupt whatever gay combo they're on. never think of the systems in a 1vs1 situation because it's always 1 vs a horde.

Good luck Brother!
The dialed up to 11 difficulty should be offset by higher damage output with more ammo dropping or more mags by default. Not to mention the player should be more resistant to chaff damage.
There's a reason why GL is so effective, because it basically makes you an astartes (outside of 2-3 shotting a majoris, that's a different story).

Very underrated primarch and i cannot understand why. He was there, on terra, during the imperiums hardest time. He was pragmatic, headstrong and took no shit. He literally told dorn to fuck off, he wanted to rescue civilians and didnt care about his autistic defensive plans. When heretics asked him to join them, he told them the emperor was a tyrant (true) but he would rather serve there than sell his soul (true also). And now i doubt he will be the next primarch to return because of space wolf fanboyism(a one dimensional, mary sue legion with zero flavor, liked by hormonal teens who want to larp as rune vikings in space, cringe and unremarkable). Russ lacks character to the point that he is more predic table than dorn. Muh vikang king he is so aggressive so strong so honorable muh executioner. Absolute cringe jobber.

Odd picks for next most annoying. Lamenters are just boiler plate "good guy marines" like the Salamanders are. I think it's boring but whatever. And I guess BR memes are a little samey but you can mostly ignore them.
I'd maybe go with Black Templars fans as the next most annoying. Lotta deus vult types get into them, similar vibe to viking larpers in Space Wolves.

Kind of new but I have to ask. What does Bjorn even do? All I know is that he's old. That's it. Everytime someone mentions him it's "He's the oldest". Is there any literature that fleshes him out more than just "He's old"? Because Dante gives that vibe off plenty as is.

Date is 1,600 years old. Bjorn is 11,000 and before the return of the primarchs, he was the last living remnant of the Great Crusade.
>>
>>507046196
He's a relic more than just old. There's just something cool about dreadnaughts in general and having a guy pull out "I talked to the Emperor you know" in polite conversation makes for an interesting character.
He' was basically what Guilliman and Lion are like in a way, at least in the way they react to the 40k Imperium. Except he only woke up in very key times so it was special.

Any tips on what weapons are best for tactical outside of plasma, melta and grenade launcher bolter? I want to try the other bolters but they feel underwhelming, which would be better?
>>
>>507052478
I'd go for heavy bolter. It's a solid rifle, even more if you can lay your headshots. Takes some getting used to, but I opted for it long time ago knowing that the time will come when they nerf GL one way or another.
>>
>>507052478
Try stalker bolter and the smg
>>
>>507052478
im trying to level the auto bolter, heavy bolter and carbine to try a storm marine approach where you run directly at the enemy and shoot without aiming using the spread perks. from stats alone seems like heavy bolter will be the best at artificer. carbine feels nice to play though, and really benefits from kraken bolt perk. idea being you charge in and then kill a majoris to refund all your ammo.
>>
how are you suppose to play melee combat at harder difficulties? i find when there are 3 warriors around me, ill block on attack but then another will stagger me and then i will just get stagger locked and i wont be able to block any further. are you just suppose to dodge spam around until you are in a position to fight 1 on 1?
>>
>>507052961
Ignore the weapon stats, they tell you almost nothing useful due to the way damage multipliers work.

HBR is trash, Stalker is slightly less trash, Plasma, or Melta are the only other viable weapons imo.
>>
>>507054418
You aren't, you just fucking die. Melee is for disrupting sentry calls and swinging a couple times to get something into execute range. Unfortunately Saber decided to emphasize melee combat and force you into it with the gimped ammo pools.
>>
>>507054418
fencing weapons can block all attacks if you just spam the button, it's kinda what they're for.
>>
>>507052478
HBR is the best all-rounder of the bunch, huge mag, decent damage, great pen, makes best use of the ammo regen
smg is decent, although you have to change your mindset about range, past like, half a grenade toss's range the thing becomes useless, dont even touch the marksman version, complete trash, its semi auto

the ABR's strengh on paper is better hipfire accuracy, but that is a dubious advantage at best, everything else some other gun does better

and for the stalker...it's an aquired taste...in theory great damage output when you click heads but for me it kinda felt unsatisfying, youre just better off playing sniper, with a real sniper weapon

Make sure the gaunts are all to one side of you, then throw in some heavy attacks to scatter them off you and recover contested health while you slap them. Throw in opportune gun strikes to recover armour. At least works for chainsword on lethal.

the boardroom idea was the warrior with the two swords gets to block but have blockable attacks, while the whip warrior gets no block and an unblockable attack.
so you melee the sword one and ranged the whip one.
i get what they were going for but yeah it doesn't really work.

It's good and how the base game should be. Turns the game into a horde shooter with a fuckton of enemies but your weapons are way stronger in turn. Adds new weapons from the files that are in the game like the assault bolter and he just added the axe weapons today which I've yet to try.
>>
>>507066061
Different tastes I guess, I find clearing hordes with a block weapon pretty fun.
>>
>>507054418
Its simple, make sure you know how to parry anyway because its a core mechanic
1. for classes that have other options you don’t melee at all if you can help it. Only use it as last resort or to push minoris away for gunstrikes so you replenish armor
2. You never play assault ever
3. You never play vanguard without lvl 25 and full relics
4. You never play bulwark without parry spam shock areas
Congrats you are now well on your way to understanding sm2 melee.

>>
>>507067808
block needs to be built around. its generally terrible. imo the only actually viable block loadout is meltavanguard
>>
>>507080353
i guess thats because you stagger the majoris with the melta, rather than with your melee weapon?

how is it "build around the block weapon" and not "build around not using the block weapon"
>>
Imo the main thing parry has over block is that it stuns enemies (+ gives slowmo and time to react + sets up for a gunstrike that stuns the horde surrounding you etc)

my suggestion: blocking two attacks in succession breaks enemy poise/stuns them to set them up for adrenaline hit.
>>
>>507080353
I've been doing vanguard with the machine gun bolter he gets (forget the name)
It's more useful in case zoanthropes show up, though yeah melta's really good for clearing gaunts which are the biggest weakness of block weapons I think.

i´m using the block weapon, against majoris groups of 1-3, upwards is meltatime.

nah, stacking up does not seem to be worth it.
perfect blocking 3 attacks to get maximum damage also honestly does not seem to be worth it, when i play i just get 3 stacks sometimes when shit has escalated, but i never wait for getting 3 stacks until i strike. it does not seem worth it at all.
are you playing a shadowstab build and having succes or what? have not tried that yet.

yeah, nah fishing for 3 stacks is never worth, a single stack is already 33% whick is huge in the melee world

i've had decent success with sniper
block once or twice, cloak to get the heat off and strike after like 2-3 secs of charging usually brings a warrior into finisher range, sometimes kills

other than that mostly assault's Thammer
jump benefits greatly from the higher base damage, minoris hordes are a snack, but you realy have to pay attention to not land in an enemy combo
engaged and you get the piss-pointer on you? get the hell outta there
whip-boi mistaking you for decimus? disengage
only time you should be near 3+ majoris at once is when you pounce on them with a fully charged, max damage jump, that'll put all of them into finisher, or kills them outright with a stack or some outside buffs, though, the majoris in finisher range are preferred, as you can armor farm them and invul-cheese

Power sword is just bad in general. It's damage is shit compared to everything else excluding the power fist. It's unintuitive as fuck with the stances and its perks are super underwhelming. It gets carried by bulwarks perks which don't require you to melee to get through a mission.

It’s advantages come from clearing out Minorises, due to the high magazine capacity, and high penetration. The down side is that even though it can have some pretty good damage by the end, it suffers from a slow rate of fire, which makes it bad for Majorises, but still fine with Minorises. Best way to run it is to focus on accuracy and penetration, so you can clear out the hordes while your team focuses on the heavy hitters.

am i schizophrenic or did lockon used to work differently?
it used to just softly focus on the target and display their health, now it feels like it hard locks your camera to that target so when you need to make a split second decision to make some distance the camera starts taking control from you to focus on the target which can be disorienting.
i used to mostly use the target mechanic to get a general idea of the targets health now it just keeps fucking me over making me roll into attacks instead of away from them

The Secret Level plot makes no sense from a tactical perspective.

Why'd they drop the marines away from the hole instead of into the hole? Why'd they shoot the statue? Just to call in an orbital strike. But then again why not just bomb the hole to start with?

>why not just teleport there
in almost every warhammer novel there's a reason why troops can't teleport directly where they want to.
something something disturbance in the warp, or forcefield, or jamming from enemy psykers etc.
just pick one of the above.

>why shoot the statue
they're there to eliminate demonic presence. the statue is linked to the demonic presence.
>why not just call an orbital strike
see point 1.

also you're not supposed to think about it too hard.
it's just 15 minutes of spacemarines killing cultists and looking cool while doing it, no more no less. if seeing that doesn't pump you up then you were not the target audience.

The secondary objective of the mission was to secure orbital strike coordinates so presumably they didn't know where the relic was, especially since it was underground. We never see the squad really needing to actively search for their target but presumably they just followed the straight tunnels and hordes of cultists until they arrived, and a search process would've looked boring on screen.
The statue (or maybe the daemon) was also clearly causing a jamming effect, because contact with the ship was lost when they dropped in and reconnected as soon as the action was resolved.

He was called up from the reserve companies too soon on account of the First Tyrannic war thinned out the Smurf's veterans something fierce. Titus probably saw that he was struggling to fit in and brought him along to try and break him out of his solitude.
>>
>>507167417
We don't actually know anything about his life prior to the events of SM1, but given his personality and his unusually junior status for a member of a captain's command squad, it can be inferred that Titus simply wanted to keep him close because of what a fucking dickhead he was to anyone he considered below him. A trait that seems to have not changed at all in the centuries between games.
Dude really needs to get beat until his retinas detach.
>>
>>507167417
>wasn't leandros an even bigger fuck up
What kind of cope revisionist history is this?

In the first game Leandros was soloing his own section of Graia because """Captain""" Titus only brought 2 Space Marines alongside him.

Unlike in SM2 both Sgt. Sidonus and Leandros were running solo and only teamed up with Titus on rare instances.

Because the powerfists most powerful attack takes ages to come out. As strong as it is its far too slow for the gameplay. Plus the hyper armour system is poorly explained and what you can tank through is very limited.

The powerfist also has laughable range and outside of cannon punch hilariously sluggish. The AoE on it also seems to be too small or the drop off is too extreme. Its also really not that fast considering its reach, and i mean the light chains.
>>
>>507155417
The truth is many of the weapon perks arent completely useless, but the the linear system is too limiting. In addition the choice of which perks belong in which tier is baffling at times - for example why do i have to wait till relic to get a paltry +10% damage again chaos? Meanwhile you also have a line is literally a no brainer, like ammo refund on hits etc. I can forgive most of the low hp shit because often times these aid you in getting chp back. For instance reloading a mag or ammo refund. For melee though theyre entirely meaningless because meleeing for chp is for some dumb reason less efficient than with a gun.
>>
>>507173998
weird how chainsword has a mega op aoe stomp, but fist gets nothing
>>
i thought bolt sniper had infinite ammo, it most certainly does not
>>
>>507174586
because its perk locked
its one less unit in AoE but you can use it from neutral and does not come at the end of your combo, this move clears gaunts on one shot with the 3x 5% melee dmg perks
the narrow hitbox (10 degree cone in front of you) is cherry on top
but you have to give up the longer hitboxes on the other charged moves

>>507173998
you should basicly only light attack to get to backfist 2 and thrust jab 2 quicker, those moves give you an armor back with a perk
its range comes from hitboxes in the heavy moves 2.5 unit sphere and 4/8 units in front of you, the light swings feel laugfhable because they are a 1 unit sphere, so 0.5 in front of you, hugging range
>>
>>507174469
probably got bungled up in the overheal fix, because it sure as hell feel like you only get cHP back from one hit per hitbox

but yeah, here's hoping the perk rework adresses that

2 weeks
>>
>>507175762
CS stomp for comparison
>>
>>507175715
it absolutely has not. maybe you watched some old video were the guy was abusing the 50% ammo perk being bugged. used to be that you could swap to bolt pistol and fire a mag into gaunts, then swap to bolt sniper and reload. the perk used to count the pistol shots for the reload refill as well, obviously a bug though.
>>
>>507177194
and here i sat thinking the guy just misspelled bot
but i guess this goes hand in hand with dudes saying the stalker has infinate ammo
>>
>>507174586
Its really not that op because its locked behind many light combo. A more optimal combo is to use either the kick or the shoulder charge since these have far bigger hitbox than they seem and come out quicker. Still, this only means that the chainsword is very versatile.
>>507175762
Yea but then again its not like its doing anything better than the other options, and this doesnt offer more depth than just 'avoid using these attacks'. Like i said, the fundamental design of the weapon is just flawed. Why give it charged attacks if its literally going to take 3.9 second (or 2.7 with the perk) for ANY increased damage? Just fyi, the charged heavy does 3.5? times damage as an uncharged heavy. The difference is massive - 53 vs 198 for example from what i remember in a testing. The weird hitbox also doesnt help, and what youve described aligns with my experience too. Like, why make half the moveset with only half the range?
>>
>>507178710
yeah, feels like they fucked up, meant to put the 1 unit sphere infront of the character, where the fists visualy hit and the "force bubble" appears
>>
>>507178518
stalker on tactical has a larger buffer, since he has emps wrath. you can empty the entire mag and refill via the perk and then empty the mag and reaload normally wich will give you all the ammo back, if you have a 100% hitrate. also pierce helps, but stalker and bolt sniper both obviously go for heads wich rarely line up.
everything considered its a lot of copium adding together to something servicable.
the "stalker is great" anons that posted in this general a while back had underdog syndrome, they just wanted to be anti-meta-chads badly. stalker is suboptimal. the bolt sniper is good since they buffed it.
>>
the only thing the marksman carbine kills with any efficiency is my ability to click, holy shit

>>507181123
Stalker bolter is a trash gun for both Tactical and Sniper

It needs more damage to be useable

All sniping weapons need an extra 2-3 mags at the minimum, the Las Fusil needs an extra 15-20 more shots

In PvP it's a different issue since it can instakill enemies on midrange as long as you land proper headshots, the Instigator is better since it sends 3 bullets and has a higher rate of fire
>>
>>507183381
I leveled it up the other day and it's good
The accuracy version is terrible, just a worst stalker bolter, but the regular version is fun as fuck
>stalk
>walk up to majoris
>spray into his ass and he's dead in half a mag.
Plus good at clearing hordes of gaunts as they try to chew on your ass.
Only thing is if the majoris are doing their usual dance or if you can't get a good position at the start it's fucked.
Also you pretty much can't ever execute since you need to make sure to get the headshot kill so you can regen your stealth again and keep doing it over and over.
>>
>>507187010
when people talk about the "marksman carbine" its the semi auto version
smg is flawed but servicable
144 unmodified damage in 3 seconds is nothing so sneeze at
>>
why does bolt sniper have 50% reduced spread when not aiming perks? can i play it like a shot gun?
>>
>>507188360
panic shots and fumbeling a gunstrike

>>
>>507188065
i love smg tact
>>
>>507181123
>>507183491
I will never understand people who say the Stalker is good on any class, you need like 8 headshots on a Majoris on Lethal to put it into execute vs like 1-3 on a Las Fusil.

That's 8 headshots on a target bobbing and weaving like they're Muhammad Ali, and that's for ONE Majoris, while 10 more are on the screen.
>>
>>507190701
for me its people claiming that assault is good. i get baited into trying it again on lethal with bots to test shit out and i get completely dumpstered, while i can complete a run with any other class. assault sucks so fucking bad, yet people pretend its le best melee class
>>
>>507187010
why the fuck would you use it on sniper (except for pvp)
there is literally 0 synergy there
>>
>>507191187
Just tell them to post their playthrough of any Chaos op on Lethal and they suddenly disappear.
>>
>>507190701
its "half the damage, double the ammo" of the sniper rifle, though missing x.5 HS multiplier.

sniper is just way easier to use since it makes better use of cloak and requires less hits

i suppose on tact it fills the niche of "i wanna do sniper things, but i aint sniper"
>>
>>507191565
I prefer the plasma on Tactical when I wanna play a scuffed sniper.
>>
>>507191330
I just gave you the synergy. Go invisible, pop a head while invisible, get camo back by popping a few minoris, do it again.
>>
>>507192303
i fail to see how that is in any way simmilar to playing sniper
>>
>>507191330
Troons who think they're "breaking out of the meta". They have to deny reality from every facet of their lives.

>>507192891
Ranged weapon that bursts down Majoris in 3 shots? Sounds really sniper-y to me, far better fit for the role than retards who run the Stalker.
>>
>>507193296
so, GL is just like playing sniper too?
>>
>>507193438
That has an aoe, so no. Are you actually this stupid or are you trolling?

You would be correct that the GL is the superior Tactical weapon however.

assault is good vs nids since the gaunts bunch up so much and you can get 100% cooldown on ground pounds.

so with fist its always worth it to charge up if you can? one charge seems to deal a ton of damage, i was just spamming lights and dodging

You're the one being obsessed about "playing the best weapon" here mate.
>>
>>507195479
yeah, you get non-shit hitboxes and 80% more damage for half a second of holding the button
but as other anon also said, holding it for longer than what is needed for the heavy variant of an attack is a waste, since you only get the HUGE multiplier when you charge it for the FULL duration, which is very rarely feasable, or worth it

So, I'm looking to get the game now that it's on sale and has had some time to work out critical bugs.
I can't figure out if the gold or ultra edition is more worth it. On steam, at least, it says the gold is $68, and comes with game+season pass.
Ultra says it comes with that, and an ultramarine pack, but for $75.
And the ultra marine pack is only $5. Is there any reason I should but ultra over gold+ultramarine pack?
>>
>>507197942
nta, but consider this
>decloak with fully charged and boosted shadow stab and spook a bunch of mobs
>hose down a bunch
>headshot between 1 to 3 enemies to recover cloak
>repeat
the carbine gets a perk that lets you auto reload on a finisher, so you dont even need to actively reload
problem is ammo reserves, so doing melee damage wherever convinient is a necessary
>>
>>507190701
It doesn't have any use considering there are only 2 kinds of enemies

Shitters who wasting precious ammo is useless and you don't get enough

Majoris and above who take forever to kill even with headshots so ammo is inefficient

In SM1 the Stalker bolter is good because you're fighting Orkz and outside of the shielded ones they don't take forever to kill
>>
>>507197942
>all of snipers shit buffs ONE shot per camo
No?
The two bigger buffs are buff while in camo and buff while standing still
You can have a perk to stay in camo a few seconds further.
Targeted shot, lingering concealment, and targeted shot.
It works for any of the weapons
The only perk that really only works for a given weapon is the third core perk where you have to choose between a perk that helps one of the 3 weapons (sniper bolt/stalker bolter, smg or las fusil)

I'm aware it's still buggy but I heard there were crash-after-every-match level bugs and those are largely gone.

>>
>>507198330
Is there any reason I should but ultra over gold+ultramarine pack?
That depends. If you want to have "a complete package" in terms of cosmetics selection ( having all the champion skins on top of what BP offers) then yes. Ultra Edition is the way to go. Unless you care for that kind I would go with Gold, but only because it has BP and this still only gives you cosmetics. All other updates are free.
The game still has a lot of kinks and bugs, mind you. But it's playable, that's what I will say. Ultimately, it's up to you, Anon.

Now, I haven't played PvP in some time so my knowledge of it might be slightly outdated. It is a 'OK' mode if you want to play the side if you're bored doing operations, but damn is it an afterthought. It really shows. No map pool to speak of, matches tend to be one sided. You need to coordinate with other people which is difficult when your average teammate has an IQ of a banana peel. Saber put some PvP content on their BP but my guess is, this is just a filler to appease total of 20 people who play this mode.

I hope not. Leandros may be a bitch as far as we're concerned, but he's an excellent fit for a chaplain. His uncompromising adherence to the faith and the codex is perfect for that role. When I learned that the chaplain was him all I could think was "of course, that just fits perfectly".
To take that moral nuance away and just say that no, he's just a bad guy who was wrong all along about everything would be a shame.

Grey Knights, since I like the fact they are powerful psykers and are essentially walking anti-chaos entities. They make good use of (maybe the most) advanced tech available and are a distinct chapter in terms of their design.
Also, I have a soft spot for Terminator armors.

Man, I haven't played the game in a while and coming back to it really kinda soured me on the game some. I still love it but now I'm just feeling like it had potential it didn't live up to.
>>

it really is just a couple modifiers away from being amazing but the devs are unnecessarily stubborn.

It's just so frustrating. I feel like they somehow missed the point of playing as a space marine. I'm not saying I want some boring power fantasy where I can never die but holy SHIT do you feel weak. Especially considering the way that each class feels before hitting max level and unlocking all your weapon upgrades and even then it's not great.
>>
>>507244176
I see what they were going for with the "barely hanging on by a thread" style of gameplay they said they wanted to emphasize. I just wish they didn't turn everything into a massive bullet sponge, while deliberately forcing you to use melee to achieve that effect.

That and, they don't have to have you be in that state perpetually for the entire run, balance is key.
>>
>>507244494
Yea I know exactly what they were trying to do but it makes for a poor space marine game in my opinion. My psyker wearing rotting prison rags with a sword he found on the ground and a staff a guard shoved up his ass shouldn't feel stronger than a space marine.
>>
>>507245067
Agreed, if they kept that sort of gameplay to just boss fights or something it would be more fun.

Las Fulsil a vast majority of the time and the Bolt Sniper rarely if you're able to push it, assuming you're doing Operations. Tactical has the Stalker that only gets vaguely tolerable compared to the rest of the non-GL Bolters when you have both the class and the weapon maxed out

They need more tyrant-style traditional bosses as well, rather than just fending off adds whilst you use E to interact with shit.

>>
>>507250925
Here's hoping, but my hopes ain't high. Problem is they went too big too quick, obviously wanting to ramp up the spectacle for this sequel but getting to a size of boss creature that's not feasible to fight toe-to-toe.

In terms of what's in the menagerie that SM could take on without gimmicky bs, all they could really go for is some form of tzaangor champion (probably too anti-climactic) or chaos lord/exalted sorc (which they'll likely be tempted to slap on a disc, ruining any fun mano el mano melee potential).

I dont think I will ever be good enough to true solo. Carrying dead weight is too hard.
>>
>>507265779
Multimelta is heavies' worst weapon. The basic melta is only strong because of vanguard's ability to deliver it right to the face of a majoris pack in under 5s, heavy really needs more range to be effective.
>>
>>507265779
Melta weapons are a trap that prevent you from learning your fundamentals and actually gitting gud.
>>
>>507268717
sniper is one of the easier classes to true solo.
you can go invisible to skip entire sections and pop minoris heads to refuel until the final area of each op, and even if you fuck up you get alot of room for error thanks to the I frames @ lethal damage perk.
you just gotta lock in for the final area of each op.

fixing game with 3 simple modifiers, so simple you can just mod them in, it's just numbers.
>Add two large ammo crate spawn points for every operation
>every single melee weapon of every variety gets +2 cleave, Dear Space Marine 2, you are a Horde game, start acting like one.
>nerf minoris chip damage to the ground, a pack of termigaunts should not be more harder to deal with than a pack of CSM

Instead of dumping more ammo crates, all you have to do is either give 2x bonus to the ammo pool of all of the weapons or give them a massive damage increase. Former would be more noticeable on Sniper's weapons and the Meltas and make GL Bolter even more broken, while the latter would make all of the Bolters actually usable and wouldn't make Tactical reliant on infinite ammo grenades and Vanguard reliant on permanent stagger from the Melta. Melee is fucked from the ground up since it feels like it exists primarily to make you bait out gunstrikes first and only ever melee to force ranged units into forcing giving you parryable attacks to fish for gunstrikes
>>
>>507279128
mentioning GL tactical is a moot point since he won't be around for long.

i just went for the simplest solution just to illustrate how easy it is to fix.
changing damage values means you have to properly rebalance every weapon accrodingly, not all bolters do the same damage.
meanwhile you can just plop a couple of these bad boys and everyone is happy.
melees main issue is you 're gonna be trading with minoris with most weapons which isn't viable on Lethal, which can be fixed by just increasing cleave and nerfing minoris chip damage like i said here. >>507277810
>>
>>507281903
It's already pretty simple to deal with a minoris pile in melee and come out without suffering damage on lethal, would be even more doable with more cleave. Just also make it so that non-headshots have an easier time killing them at range or something instead of trivializing them to no longer be a factor.
>>
>>507281903
kinda lame the campaign forces you to use the autobolt rifle or heavy bolt rifle all the time and they still haven't allowed gadriel and chairon to be outfitted with other guns or be allowed to pick up other weapons if ordered or set to auto

Is there anything gained from maxing out a weapon's mastery points?

I just maxed out the mastery points xp bar for the Vokite pistol and was wondering if it further bolster the weapons but doesn't show it.

you spend the mastery points for perks. that's all. you can skip grinding for exp by using an armory data.

>>507230996
I thought the short clarified. The reason warp doesn't affect him as much is that he literally feels no fear, even before he became a marine.
>>
>>507295408
I took that more as being part of his character. No fear isn't really a reason to resist more physical effects of warp sorcery from nemeroth or get a supernatural headache from the artifact in the second campaign (on that note, why does he seem vulnerable to it in the second game when he was resistant in the first?).

I know that. I'm talking about when you maxed out the Mastery Point bar that's right above the weapons. Is there any additional boosts to the Relic Vokite pistol or is nothing else gained after acquiring the Relic versions.

I don't agree you feel weak, but it depends on the class. Bulwark and heavy feel great.
But gaunt chip damage is definitely an issue.

Jokes aside you can't trade with a minoris horde on lethal using melee.

You weren't actually in a proper horde. 30+ and surrounded so tight you can barely roll out.
>>
>>507301976
I'll have to try it out. I've been using HBR up until now.
>>
>>507265779
You just need to level it up and pick the following perks (bolt penetration, +15% while in focus fire mode twice including the one at the very end) then pick the max accuracy version so you don't waste ammo

>Plasma
Too ammo inefficient and doesn't have the same speed/rate of fire/ammo regen perks like the Tactical
>Melta
Is okay once you pick the max range perks, ignore the naysayers
>>
>>507315003
I meant for the Heavy, I would still recommend the Plasma over the HBR on the Tactical however.
>>
>>507265779
It'll carry you through Ruthless, but Plasma for Lethal all the way.

The fact you can dump 6+ rounds into a Minoris due to how execute works really really hurts it's DPS, and then throw in the speed at which it overheats and it's overall a kinda satisfying to use but mediocre weapon.

//// INCOMING TRANSMISSION ////

Brothers! With this blessed Feast of the Emperor’s Light soon upon us, may the warmth of Terra's holy glow shine upon you and yours.

Let the unity of the Imperium guide your fellowship, and the resilience of the Adeptus Astartes strengthen your hearts. In this time of giving, may the Emperor’s grace shield you from the encroaching darkness, and may you find joy in the small victories, whether they be over heresy or holiday mishaps. From Brother DudeWall a most righteous and merry Christmas to you, as we stand vigilant in His eternal service!

Since tomorrow might be more busy than usual I want to wish you all the best during this holiday season and I hope you'll enjoy it to the fullest.
I also want to let you know I'm working on another update right now and I'm positive it'll be ready by tomorrow, but you can submit Dudes all the same. I'll include them.
I'm breaking the character a bit, but the occasion justifies it. Merry Christmas!

This would appease some, definitely. But if that's the case, then go all the way with customization. Add seperate sections for each of the remaining armor pieces that don't have them. In the current your of Our Lord it wouldn't be too difficult to implement such a feature, now would it?
