How goes the grind, brothers?
>>540335409We have different priorities, apparently.
>>540336291Is that bolt pistol any good? Does it shoot 1 bullet or does it actually fire a burst when you gunstrike?
>>540336559It fires a burst during a gunstrike. It's good, it just burns through ammo like a bastard. The only one I'm legitimately unhappy with is the combi-melta.
>dark angels chest doesn't have the clothFUCK SABER
>tactical didn't get power axeso surely when they add lightning claws he'll get that, right?
>>540336559It has a niche. For the gun strike, it does damage as if it fires one bullet, the burst there is just cosmetic.
>spend a day attempting hard weekly>do my best but get some bad luck with spawns>multiple attempts where we get to the last section>one attempt where we get two helbrutes during the darkness section with gun termies just spraying>give up>try it again next day>absolutely shit the bed the entire way>fumble parries>blatantly fuck up dodges>fully die 3 times>teammates drag me to victorywhy can't this shit be lethal+fuck man
>>540340520lightning claws are a power fist variant tho
>>540341229>guy with chingchong name joins>locks in bulwark>bulwark nerf modifier active>tell him>he swaps to heavy>heavy nerf modifier active>tell him>he swaps back to bulwark
>>540342487I mean, you can still use the ability to heal people but you've got glass bones and paper skin. Not defending his actions, just saying is all.
Test your faith.
>>540339126True. They dropped the ball with this supposed "biggest customization update yet".
>>540340520Tactical is a generic battle brother, he's not getting shit for melee, because if he did, he'd quickly become the most busted class in the game. The only thing holding Tactical back from the level of Bulwark in melee prowess is the LACK of melee weapons. Consider that when the only thing putting him that high is Battle Focus.
And again for people who might not have seen it. Techmarine's perks and vaguely where the devs intend you to go/what to do with his perks.
>>540344876>making every single PvE map assault friendly so he can get the same air you did in the campaign?>no, absolutely not>retroactively added turrets to every PvE map for tech marine?>yes, of course
Am I going to have to start running Bolt Carbine SMG on Sniper because Fusil's boss damage (hard) on anything than the Neurothrope is trash?
>>540344876>Arc Cleave>Bloodrush>Marked Prey (forget Unstoppable for a second)>Insane Attack+>Quick Cycle>Inflammable RageHumor me here, Techmarine has the potential to hit Bulwark tier damage the moment he procs his SG which starts setting enemies on fire on top of the melee boost. The minimum melee damage boost you're seeing here is 40%, and I don't think it's going to be that low. Melee might sound boring, but it sounds like one of his best builds.
>>540345281Why not run Stalker? It has the added bonus of minor ammo recovery in its best damage track.
>>540345180it's infinitely easier saber will still find a way to fuck it up and make enemies glitch on them
>>540345281melee build sniper was always the more entertaining option
How feasible is it to run Bolt Rifle (grenade launcher optional) and Chainsword on Tactical at higher difficulties? I notice they both struggle against Chaos.
>>540345281Did they nerf the Las Fusil or is it a bug?
>>540345317>omnisian axe: the class>woah why he have melee build?who knows, it is a mystery
>>540346651Nobody here expected the glorified pencil pusher to be good in melee, dude. Many people here were expecting him to not even have a primary weapon before the data leaks said otherwise.
>>540346651That's not what I said you retard. I said he's going to have Bulwark tier damage, not that he can't melee.
>>540345281You want to run block knife (or heroic knife if you want to proc the dodge buff) and burst with the charge attack out of cloak after building up proc. That'll chunk the boss. Btw, how are the semi auto bolt carbine compared to the full auto variant?
they're just mad because they genuinely forgot the omnisian axe is a thing
>>540347378>Btw, how are the semi auto bolt carbine compared to the full auto variant?Good against Nids, shit against Chaos like all bolters.>>540347628>Trying to save face after you blatantly didn't read my post
>>540347752Don't respond to him. This faggot always turns up to shitpost whenever the thread activity dies down. He thinks he's doing everybody a service by being an obnoxious faggot.
>>540347874>This faggot always turns up to shitpost whenever the thread activity dies downI have't even posted today yet :v
I genuinely believe the devs used images like pic related to determine the shade of colors tied to specific chapters. It would explain why some paints look so horribly scratchy, like someone rubbed a metal brush along the surface of your marine. They confused pencil etchings for paint scheme.
>>540335409mine looks exactly like that lmao
>>540345532las fusil bossdamage was always trash outside of neurothrope.
>>540349431Why the fuck would they do that?
>>540347378I really don't want to run anything melee considering how much of a clusterfuck the games get on Hard, especially forgoing fencing and having to run the melee cloak damage perk. Like I'll do it if I have no other choice but I'm not there yet.>>540345443Lower burst than Fusil kind of sucks but I know the ammo economy is better, might have to make the switch.
>>540335409I got the most important part out of the way first.
>>540347378Sounds good on paper. The result is zoanthropes flying around freely and, together with ranged majoris and biovores, absolutely pummeling the team while the sniper fumbles around with his pocket knife trying to get procs. Its all so tiresome
>>540351215Stalker is for that.Knife is for getting meaty damage when the Carnifex stumbles itself, or the Helbrute takes a long recovery window.
>>540347874Yeah we have a literal shitposting schizo that trolls the thread for (you)s. Be advised. He made himself known to the steam group when it was first made.
My hopes and dreams that will probably not be realized.>Iron Hands Chapter PackPretty much guaranteed to get a new helmet with some scope eye on it.Current bionic right-arm given a left version.Two new chunkier bionic arms.Chunky bionic legs.Heavy Iron Halo in the form of some fancy gizmo instead of an ornament.>Raptor PackClean chest, no or minimal aquila (painted on?)Pouches, grenade belts, ammo belts, sheathed knives, comm packs, the whole nine yards on every part we get.Decals and icons that come with little kill tallies and shit next to the chapter icon and squad roles.Vanguard omni-scrambler backpack.Sniper ghillie chameleoline cloak
>>540351215You don't need to invest in anything to shit on zoanthrope as a sniper. Just shoot your gun at them. You take your knife out when you need to do real damage to things you can't damage well with your gun.
>>540350178You have to learn to be comfortable with melee at high difficulty, even as a sniper. You can easily get huge melee burst damage safely out of cloak as well, so you have to use it.
>>540351996lol, here's what you're getting>head, with and without icon>chest>left/right shoulder>bunch of decalsenjoy
All I want is a set of plain Mark 7 armor, solid legs, big ol' pauldrons, and a proper scowling helmet.
A full set of mark 8 armor for deathwatch stuff would be cool, too.
>>540354525>>540354573Possible 2/3 chance depending on if the redacted champion is Deathwatch-themed akin to Titus in the prologue, or a Retributor to tie into Astartes II. The only possible "get fucked" option is the Blood Raven tie-in to DoW4.
>>540354780Honestly a Blood Raven pack would be nice.
>no damage fags who both died in the vortex beast fight want me to just sit there for 4 minutes with a tentacle up so they can respawn and continue doing nothingI'd rather lose
>>540357548if the beast aggroed and downed you first they would have rollsloped for 4 minutes for you to come back
>>540358076maybe they would've tried but based off what i saw for the parts of the mission i was present for (and still out damaged them) it wouldn't have been too successfulI really have to just drop to lethal or ruthless or something and practice the beast fight
was bored so I redid it and dropped the loadouts, rolling for what I'm going to play today.
>>540358304You've lost me on the 6, 7 and 8 part.
>>540358304>>540359830Oh wait no I just misread. I blanked the part after Heavy that explains it.
>>540359830I dont know how to fairly divide the classes
Duellist is a good perk when taking block and I will die on this hill.330 gets increased to 412 on Assault.330 gets increased to 495 on Vanguard, almost as big of a window as fencing (660) for a way better effect.
>>540361364Consider: what about anyone who is good at hitting the timing without the extra leniency
>>540361919Sometimes you get fucked by things out of your control that could have been salvaged by a bigger window.
>>540361364Yeah people really underestimate a change from 330 to nearly 500. For context, that one change in reverse on light attacks sent For Honor from an "attack first with your 500ms light = lose" game to most people being unable to reliably even block 330ms light attacks.
room codes? any battle brothers playing?
>>540363996>>540361364Change Vanguard's to a 100% bonus and the pres perk to 50% and people would use it.
>>540344876he should just be able to call them in from orbit and set up defenses where he wants. I hope these wont just be static and level based.
>>540364648>Your ability is in most instances worthless because the majority of maps are 50%+ interiors where you couldn't call it down
I'm positively surprised at these numbers and hope this game keeps on going unironically even with it's flaws
>>540365013fucking teleport it or have it punch through the earth. Don't call it from orbit for all I care, summon it from the damn warp! I just want to place it where I want when I want.
>>540365032For all the game's flaws, it has a fun gameplay loop when you're not getting fucked.
>>540355331Seriously. They're probably by far the most popular successor chapter among players.
despite the fancy parry attack moves, the block power axe is the best one
despite all my rage I'm just a rat in a cage
>Bitched about how Heavy's cosmetics all look like he ransacked a boneyard, how it's all scrappy and shit>Have only just realized what the solution wasMortifactors, it was so damn obvious.
do you guys use locking? im dodging forward here, it can let you attack from farther away too, sometimes when you melee an enemy you magnetically glue to them with locking you can force that to happen. and it makes ranged melee attacks mor accurate like the power fist or power sword rakes
>>540368384I know keyboard users use it to guide power fist shots towards shit in the back of a horde, but it's borderline impossible to use on gamepad because it's also tied to executions. Meaning 90% of the time the moment you touch it, you end up snapping the neck of a staggered gaunt.
>>540368384I use it on vanguard and for specific niche cases to check how much health an enemy has left. I rarely use fist, but when I do, and when I want to magnetize to an enemy with shadow stab, I also use it.
>>540368384is this how you grind the jumppack dodge assault ordeal?
>>540341329Heroic Power Fist is going to be a Boltstorm Guantlet.
>>540354780Astartes 2 is going to be about the Deathwatch, so they could do both.
>>540367989Heavy should not be the class most suited to being a cannibalistic hunting-obsessed skull trophy keeper and yet here we are.
>>540368384how do you lock on pc
>>540374430X
>>540374949>Blowing kissies at peopleWhat a gay boy lmao
Is there a lore reason why the macragge blue weapons you unlock in siege mode do not look even remotely close to macragge blue?
>>540378629The deep lore of saber being incompetent and lazy.
>>540378629The colors in this game are all over the damn place. It gets especially annoying when the knee sections blatantly have different shades of the same color on the leg. Trying to match yellows between your helmet and knee is a hair pulling experience.
this game has some of the most horribly thought out PvP imaginable, you sit there waiting probably twice longer than you actually play PvPincredible how bad it is
>>540382097i just got carried by a lvl 48 in pvpcontrol de zone 150 vs 40 or something like that
>>540382097I haven't been able to get a single helbrute game. It's like all anyone plays is the 3 point capture.
>>540383148it was 200 vs 45, i was fun im a bit tired of operations
>>540383148>i just got carried by a lvl 48 in pvpmost games basically come down to which team will get burdened with 1 or 2 low level shitters that you cant carry.
>>540385042Why didn't you just reload your gun and blap him?
>>540388362cus i know is a real person and i got scared
>>540388362Melee goes through armor so shooting him probably wouldn't have done enough damage
>no customization overhaul>siege mode is underwhelming>still no chaos PVE>dumbass weapon and customization class locks>anything they do to the game is all about quantity, not quality1 year ago when I last played I was so hopeful for the things to come.Now I come back after hearing about 10.0 but it's just fucking bleak. What a shitshow.
>>540371942just use this set up and play assault normally. the bonus damage is cool
This is not okay, this is on substantial by the way.Yes its the Relic fusil.
>>540389650If there were no weapon locks, Tactical would blow everybody else out of the fucking water. He's literally only held back by having a limited arsenal of melee weapons.
>>540390780I said ages ago that sniper's primaries needed to be retuned because the disparity was ridiculous.You have to land headshots but you also do less damage than other classes that don't even need to aim.In saber's mind though sniper is just super OP because woah infinite cloaks and invulnerability.
>>540344876has the champion skin for techmarine leaked yet?we riot if not iron hands.
>>540391435There's nothing wrong with block chainsword and the auspex on parry skill really isn't all that good. Another melee weapon would not be a substantial jump in power for him.
>>540389168Speaking from experience, 47 stab wounds to the chest is slower and more dangerous and not worth it unless the enemy is in your face trying to kill you and you're literally out of ammo entirely.
>>540391938>Techmarine comes out the same time as the Raven Guard champion packI would laugh so hard.
>>540391959>auspex on parry isn't that good>free double damage gunstrike on parryI forget that the people who supposedly play this game are complete retards
>>540392165i wouldnt even be surprised at this point, saber is a master at missing obvious wins
>>540392210>parry>gunstrikeyeah, definitely some real mouthbreathers out here
>>540392165I stopped questioning these decisions long time ago. Saber are just incompetent in handling the releases and major parts of the game in general.The only thing that doesn't suck is the visual design - armors, details on wargear (there's some bullshit skull here and there on tactical's shoulder pads, sure, but I can turn a blind eye to this [for now]).
>>540392390I'm sorry sir blockchad, I couldn't hear you, what with you being dead for the entirety of the game and alll
>>540392683/vg/ continuing the trend of having some of the worst players of the game their general is dedicated to who also somehow think they are some of the best
>>540392950Oh no, your voice is so very very faint... If only you weren't waiting 5 minutes to respawn...
>>540391464All of sniper's weapons need at least twice the ammo count
>>540391959>and the auspex on parry skill really isn't all that goodAre you on drugs?
>>540391959>auspex on parry skill really isn't all that good>isn't all that goodI was not aware we were hosting a Saber representative today. Would you kindly, while you're here, make a note to quickly get to balancing and give that info to the developers?Thank you and please stop smoking whatever it is they sell on the streets of St. Petersburg.
>>540390348i will never understand the insistance on using the 10% refund on kill if nothing else actually boosts groundpound usage.
>>540391464>In saber's mind though sniper is just super OP because woah infinite cloaks and invulnerability.yeah if you are doing anything but sniping.
>tech marine launches>getting a lobby becomes impossible because literally everyone is playing tech marineit'll happen
>>540395107>i will never understand the insistance on using the 10% refund on kill if nothing else actually boosts groundpound usage.You mean besides the fact you're completely invincible while airborne if you take Unyielding Oath? When combined with Zealous Blow, Assault is the only class who becomes truly unkillable during the biggest hordes. He powercales massively the more shit is on screen.
>>540395743Big hordes aren't ever a problem for Assault regardless of the perks, unless you're a retard. The problems for Assault are ranged enemies scattered around the map plinking you to death
>>540396214Hordes exist = Assault becomes invincibleAssault becomes invincible = ranged enemies aren't an issue
>>540395424me? I'll be busy playing with Assault like I always have
>>540396480And when horde doesn't exist? When you have 10+ enemies just shooting at you from the edges of the map?
(You) there!Rank the operations based on how fun you think they are!
>>540368384I sometimes accidentally click it and don't know how I even entered this lock on so can't unclick it. It fucks me over since I can't see what I want to see and I panic and lose HP. Trap button, whatever it is.
>>540396719ranged enemies cant hit you if you move side to side a bit. ranged majoris are programmed to miss you. and you always have the option to jet pack onto a majoris or extremis anyways, 90% of the time they have a handful of minoris around them anyways so you'll get some refund back. its the stagger of ground pound that makes it good.
>>540397485Discombobulation, Exfoliation, Furnace, Brisket Engineer, Boxed Liberty, Falling Patriot, Requisitionary, Oberon, Vertical.
>>540395743>When combined with Zealous Blow, Assault is the only class who becomes truly unkillable during the biggest hordesVanguard clicks one head a few times and then does the same thing better.It's a tad unreliable because of the jank that hook has but vanguard is assault but better plus a primary and good team perks.
>>540398051Come on, you've played this game. You know it's not conveniently grouped packs of majoris that are an issue, it's the 5 little nidders on a ledge to your back/right, plus 3 more to your left, plus the sniper on a platform, plus the spaced out groups of goop throwers.
>>540399218>goop throwers.are you talking about the strangle thorn balls? jet back refund works on those too (so does sniper ammo refund). i've never had a problem i guess since i kill enemies so fast with ground pounds that refund themselves
>>540399007Assault's plasma pistol is leaps and bounds above every gun Vanguard has.
>>540399568>strangle thorns count as an enemy killWell, that's good to know. But no, I meant the shotgunners. It's easy to dodge one at a time when they're right in front of you, but when you have a dozen other things you need to avoid it's not that easy
>>540351431I mean, I kind of understand why he's here. You guys fall for the dumbest shit.Not saying he should be doing this, but still.

>>540400306>t. heavy player
>>540400318I usually like the cleaner look like your Blood Raven, but that Ultramarine looks great.
>>540403512I think Bulwark is the one class where looking elaborate still looks good. Other classes just look too busy at times.
The worst part about the heroic weapons is that they're not even objectively better than their most similar relic counterpart.
>join game>110 ping>leave>repeat 5 times>quit guess im not playing SM2 tonight
>>540406291110 ping is nothing, what a pussy lmao
>>540406576I don't think it's just the ping or rather input lag. If it's broken it's always a flat 100 and I see other players skip frames as well as xenos. Tyranid bugnig is standing still and with no animation I am simply hit... it's unplayable.
when are plasma weapons fully charged? there's a sound effect a bit after u hit full meter that makes it sound like it hits a full charge

>>540407307Its the techpriest to the left of galleo in the armory. You cant tp directly to him afaik
>>540405524Thats the best part. If they were any better, dmitri the game designer would have to think of something to make ops even harder.

What is the most troon-coded squad comp and what is the most chud-coded squad comp
>>540409474troon would be>plasma heavy>tact with grenade perk>bulwark heal flagchud would be>chainsword assault>sniper with bolt sniperthird could be anything cool like accuracy bolt rifle tact, heavy bolter heavy, maybe vanguard with marksman smgalso a team of tact, vanguard, sniper all with marksman smgs would be cool
>>540408684There's always been a disparity in their color. In the cinematics it's more like Baal red. Then in-game it's more like Mephiston.
>>540405524They're meant to be side grades more than anything. That said the combi-melta straight up sucks. By far the worst one.
>>540409872>troon would be>(most efficient team comp)>chud would be>(lone wolf "I'm the most important member of the squad" loadout on every member)Are you sure?It's the other way around. Every fag here argues for efficiency and effectiveness about every possible thing.Troons would argue that everything is good and use whatever they'd find "cool" even if it's provably detrimental to the team.
>>540410623if you're gonna have to complete stratagems for heroics, and each weapon is seemingly going to have one heroic variant, imo they should either be objectively the best variant or transformative enough to make the weapon feel different while being competitive with relic counterparts. half of them are just glorified trophies. it feels terrible for a heroic slot to be wasted.

>>540349592Carnifex and helbrute just have shitty tiny heads that don't stick out, and they move around way more.You have to be a fuckin crack shot with m+kb. Impossible to consistently headshot them on console.
>>540397485I like Inferno and Ballistic Engine the most, since there's no boss at the end, only waves.
>>540414579Sounds like a bug, it is impossible to constantly headshot bosses and seems like a serious oversight.
FPD3XHard weekly. Hold on to your butts.
>>540414564Yeah I'll own up to using it a lot, I really like how UB pops the dirt on the armor. It's a cheap and great way to make parts of your space marine look more dynamic. Its this game's equivalent of panel lining. It highlights all the cracks and scratches on the surface by somehow applying a darkened effect around them.
>>540413419Fair enough.
>>540397485fun1. Inferno2. Decapitation3. Ballistic engineacceptable4. Vox Liberatisunfunthe rest
>>540411983>"I'm the most important member of the squad"i have mostly experienced this was plasma heavies and bulwarks that run ahead and think they are good at the game. troons use what ever is meta or what ever is upvoted most on reddit. the chud squad uses what looks cool and is kino. i have left mid op when there is a plasma heavy because he left clicks and kills every ball of enemies, its boring.
>>540344876>equipment spamming target markerI don't think they realized they were just making a second tactical when they put this together.
>level tac to prestige 4>not once was tactical ever takeni thought this was one of the most popular classes? is there some kind of fill matchmaking system now?
>>5404148011/3
>>540417003I think they said they patched it so it would match you with lobbies that don't have the class you have selected already picked.
>>540416778To me it looks like Techmarine can plug the position of almost every single class in the game. The effectiveness of each build can't be pinpointed yet, but>Sentries buffing attack and defense as well as killing enemies themselvesBulwark's Banner with the AOE DOT.>Sniper Lock buildPocket Scipius that removes any chance of a shitter who can't aim being involved.>Plasma Shot+KillzoneTactical's Auspex except the Auspex is doing the killing for you.>Melee buildIs easily going to rival the highest damage numbers of Assault/Bulwark.
>>540344082what's weird is the individual black templars chest has the cloth on it. fuck dark angels, i guess.
>>540417340I was smoking copium hoping it would retain the tabard for tac and assault before 10.0. Of course they didn't get it, but bulwark didn't either?Wtf is that shit, Saber?
>>540410537>Then in-game it's more like MephistonNah, in the first game they were never vivid red like Mephiston. Mephiston is like in the 0-5 degree hue range if 0 is R255G0B0. Meanwhile Blood Ravens were always in the 10-15 degree range. Like a rusty red type hue.
Sucks cause I hate the default tabard and don't have the templar dlc. Guess I'll just keep rocking the belly cloth.
>>540408684I'm pretty sure Blood Ravens did not take part in any of the Tyrannic wars.
>>540417986They get brighter with every game, and now they don't even retain their gold aquila, it's properly officially black now.

>>540418241Evil Sunz Scarlet is the closest to what's in your pic. That's what me and my friend use. It has enough of that rusty, orange hue.
>>540420337The two classes I have at max prestige are crippled for this weekly, currently busy leveling others so I can even attempt it.
>>5403974851. Exfiltration - Reminds me of that Jedi Academy mission against Sarlacc. I really like Trygon Boss fight at the end, cool variety of locations, great dialogue and some set pieces2. Ballistic Engine - cool looking gimmicks and objectives, nice variety in locations, a basic, fun in it's simplicity mission3. Termination/Inferno - Like Ballistic but I find them more boring for no actual reason I can define. Remind me of DoW2 Typhon4. Decapitation - Great set piece with that defense alongside Cadian bros. I like Boss too, just sometimes don't feel like fighting him.5. Vox Liberatis - I like seeing Tsons and Nids fight, but that Daemonhost at the end for some reason is really boring for me. It's still half of a mission against nids6. Reliquary - The best out of Tsons only missions imo. I don't even get griefed at the end puzzle7. Obelisk - Darkness can get annoying, but I honestly have a fondness to this gimmick since VT1 Drachenfels missions as long as I don't have to play it all the time. If there were more missions to pick from, I'd like it more8. Fall of Atreus - by the virtue of elimination ends up lastVortex - I can't even rank it, because I only played it like twice. I keep grinding this new currency and this mission just doesn't end up on stratagems
>>540418825That's a GW decision. Every 40k game uses their official colors to choose from instead of a slider. DOW1 was one of the only games to do that, which must have been before they made that decision.
For what purpose do enemies in hard stratagems have damage reistance? Are the modifiers themselves not enough?
I'm about to just skip this week's hard weekly. Done like a dozen attempts every day since it dropped.9/10 attempts we all die in the first area.There HAS to be a fuckin hidden modifer. I can do hard dailies just fuckin fine.
>>540420773Fair enough. Godspeed.
>>540420968That's why you always need a tactical with a flamer, the damage over time really helps, and it gibs all the little fuckers almost instantly.
>>540414801>Any codes?>Codes, Brothers?>Why doesn't anyone post codes anymore?>Codes?>LF codes>CODES!?Mission aborted due to MIA battle brothers.
>>540420996The hidden modifier is worse teammates than daily stratagems, everyone who just wants their weekly injection of 350 triangles but isn't quite up to the level of playing hard stratagems for the variety and challenge is in the weekly, and a lot of players that ARE good have already cleared it and moved on.
>>540420996i don't have much experience with hard stratagems as i've just started doing them last week but the spawns seem insane. like helbrute + 3 sorcerers + usual deathball of spawn + rubric marines
Why isn't anyone posting codes?
>>540422503So you have like a day or maybe two to do a hard weekly before it becomes impossible. Got it.Gotta love having zero level gates.
>>540420996i had to switch to tactical to complete it
>>540422548Yup. Either you hit the inevitable helbrute deathball spawn and wipe to getting chipped to death by ranged terminators while the helbrute crawls up your ass, or you just drown in chaos spawn + rubrics chipping you to death from the darkness in the labyrinth.You need a dream team to like even have a chance.
>>540423123I didn't get a dream team but instead just got lucky that we only got one hellbrute spawn iircThe extra enemy HP just fucking sucks, the normal combos you do to down them no longer work
>>540422675Suck cock in hell, nigger.
>>540422762Level gates wouldn't help because the difficulty is high enough that even players at prestige 4 won't necessarily be up to the task (though you can bet they'll be way too good for normal strats to be any challenge, so they'll be doing hard anyways - the big issue of having no middle ground between substantial and absolute+). As a result to do reliably well you have to be able to more than pull your weight at the difficulty to have a good success rate.
>>540423579True, but it would help.And at least they changed the hard icon to the absolute one. I think it was set to the ruthless icon before. Craaaaaazy false advertising.
>>540419461If Sniper Lock has the basic sense to always target the Majoris furthest away from you, I can see it being really good.

It still baffles me how hard Saber push drip feeding content. There's nothing stopping devs from releasing a lieutenant helmet and its "stock" variant, which should've been done with Mk VIII and now Mk VII. Well, maybe their metrics have to tow the line or something.It's literally a couple of minutes of work once the model is completely done. And it's been posted before, but "customization" update missed the mark by a mile. If this is Saber's idea of a rework/redesign then I shudder to think what sort of pants on head retarded plans they have for "Progression update"

>>540427303Load up a strat with the more minoris modifier (doesn’t matter if you beat it or not) and then switch over to the operation of your choosing. The AI director gets confused and still spawns almost nothing but minoris until you quit/play a strat with a different spawn modifier. Might have to be solo/host for the glitch to work, idk. StrabanBot is your best friend. Don’t be a retard and go in without relic gear since less majoris doesn’t mean no majoris, plus you’ll still get bosses and extremis

>>540451212We were in the middle of the labrynth and a horde spawned.Pretty open room. Lots of spawns spawned.Then a ranged terminator spawned, followed by another ranged terminator. One missile instantly blows through three armor segments. I don't blame him. This weekly's fucking brutal. Could've been me if I drew enough agro, and almost was. I was hanging on by a thread of hp by the end of it.

I have run Absolute Decapitation for the entire week and not once has this terminus enemy spawned in front of the saferoom before the HT
>grinding heavy flamer>hard siege mode>enemy: chaos>back to battle barge
More corpses.
>done grinding heavy flamer>take it out of heavy loadouts>forget it existsgenuinely a terrible weapon
I wish Fall of Atreus was a nidder mission
>>540458157Crazy how the bigger blaster is so much shittier than the medium one tac gets.Seems like heavy keeps getting shafted lately. It's my least favorite class, but some heavies can really clutch. They deserve something good.
>>540459067They got the best heroic and still is one of the strongest clas in the game
>>540459067The only problem is that you have to heavy stance it but since heavy flamer lets you actually dodgeroll straight out of heavy stance there's not really any downside
>>540459067>has to be heavy stanced>completely blinds you to what the enemy is doing>doesn't stagger often enough or wide enough to stop incoming attacks>tactical can just hipfire his and it's a smaller flame spout so it's easier to tell what's going onit's so fucking dumb
>>540459756But you don't need to be in heavy stance unless you need the big flame in the first place?
>>540459834the hipfire flame is a fucking joke on heavy, it's like 2 feet
I hate chaos spawns so much it makes me want to scream when you wiff a parry and you get in one of those impossible mis-timed attack chains with the delays and all that fucking bullshit.

>>540465904>white incels love 40kshocker
>>540459834hipfiring with heavy flamer is legitimately just melee range, you need to stance up to do more than burn what's directly in your face and sometimes not even that
>>540465875Plas Incinerator is the answer.
>>540465904I had an Ultra bulwark once and he was fine.

>>540467591thats absurd, we should instead complain about it endlessly here
>>540467591that's absurd. are you implying the game director was wrong reducing the range in the first place?
What will be the next "Bulwark Shield Rush" change do you think? Devs said more changes like that are coming.
>>540471620I really hope they just make Assault's dashes and roll into automatic (and free) jump pack dashes.
Give me fashion tips to make my dudes look great.
>>540472964Less is more
>>540472964
>>540472964Your knees are a canvas and shouldn't be ignored. Don't know what to put on them? Checkerboards, splits, any of the random two-part patterns that mean literally nothing. Almost no Chapter has any strict aesthetic adherence to the benign patterns that can go there.
>>540473270>>540472964Oh also, test your colors. You don't have to stick to the default assigned by the game to your Chapter. Most people agree the default colors in most instances are off. Ultramarine players are fighting over whether Alaitoc blue or Leviadon blue is actually the closer color, because the game's Macragge blue is way too light. We had dudes earlier in the thread discussing which red was more suited for the Blood Ravens, with Baal red being brought up as the closest to their DoW1 appearance.
>>540474007amazing, every word of what you just said was wrong>multimelta is a good weapon>bonds of brotherhood is a good perk>when matched with two fencingfags i sometimes get max melee damage>with duelist it's easy and hilarious to melee extremis>you can't get incapacipated if you stagger everything around you>don't remember what multi-kill does but it probably isn't plain wrong, just suboptimal
>>540474397>multimelta is a good weaponlol>bonds of brotherhood is a good perkLOL
>>540473520There is lighting and overall "feel" to consider. Khorne Red looks best because it fits the color tone of the rest of the game better, a Raven (or any primarily red chapter) in lighter reds will look like a clown.
>>540474397>>multimelta is a good weaponIt's really not, it's a helpful tool when you can't deal with groups yet but once you get that down you no longer need it.>>with duelist it's easy and hilarious to melee extremisYou should try without it, if you're parrying so early that duellist is helping you could stand to learn the actual timings. With balanced the biggest danger is parrying too late and not making it through the windup, not parrying too early.
>>540474397The problem with MM is it can't deal with the actual shit that leads to people dying.>Zoanthropes in the distance>Terminator in the distance>Poor boss damage, makes the Neurothrope look like a tank, presuming you can even hit it from where you're standing
>>540481216>All men are fashion artists the moment you give them a suit of power armor
>>540472964Black and metal colours don't work well in the game's aesthetic. Stick to colour schemes where the focus is on brighter colours.
>>540420795I hate it when people blame GW for every shitty choice that's 100% Saber's fault but this is one thing I can easily believe.However, the devs could have proposed a system where you just take the "official" colors and overlay at least two of them on top of each other. 50% Macragge blue and 50% leviadon blue would probably look like the fucking bomb. You want ushabti bone to be a bit darker and browner? Mix in like 10% flesh tearer red. It's so fucking simple, it makes the color customization infinitely more engaging than it is now, it doesn't step on GW's toes. Everyone wins.But Saber is literally incapable of making good design decisions when it comes to customization. It's all just so fucking bad.
>>540481404Most men can understand fashion they just don't give a enough of a fuck about it in everyday life. They don't give a shit about social pressures like women and value the expendable income more than they do the look (especially when good clothes and accessories are goddamned expensive). Basic practicality is more valuable.
>>540469506no longer ultrachoosing non sensical ultrachapters of ultrapve. im now ultracanonical ultramarinemaxxing
>>540481484*Most* of the blacks look like shit. Nuln Oil however looks great because it's a matte black. Every other black has this serious problem where it's both oversaturated and glossy, and it visually looks like ass.Nuln Oil for primary, Corvus black for tertiary, that's the winning combo. If you want a tertiary that's shiny to complement Nuln Oil without being overbearing and ass, Administratum Grey is a fantastic complement because it's borderline the same shade and its shine is subtle.
>>540481604>They don't give a shit about social pressures like women*about the SAME social pressuresThe majority of men most certainly care about social pressure, there's just not as much pressure on us to dress up.
>>540477732nta but my nigger try the multi-melta with the +75% ranged dmg in 10m mod, please! also the tech for the double shot. Multi melta is a monster with those
>>540482142I mean sure, just like assault finally becomes better than vanguard at something if you play on increased minoris stratagems. The heavy bolter and plasma incinerator don't need a stratagem specifically powering them up and exploit tech to be good.Plus, I personally only enjoy the HB. The plasma and melta options just don't appeal to me, so I'm not really interested in using them.
Hard Strats aren't enjoyable, so I won't do them.

Is the heavy heroic plasma-gun any good? Don't mean meta BIS, but just usable in ruthless?
>>540489241It deals more DPS but gobbles ammo the moment you learn you can spam reload/cool between shots just as fast without impeding its fire rate.
Speaking of heavy, haven't played it yet, gonna start grinding it now, any tips for it in general and for guns?
>>540490203It does not deal more dps.

The Heavy Plasma Incinerator is top dog, arguably the best weapon in the game. Both its Relic max "fire rate" version which increases charge speed, and his Heroic version which trades away charge attacks for actual super fire rate. The accuracy Heavy Bolter is the only good version. Pyrecannon has hitbox issues but still melts bosses. Multi-Melta is a noob trap.Don't sit on Iron Halo. The moment you even get an inkling of a hint that ranged bullshit is about to happen, pop it. It recharges pretty quick with Field Adjustment.>>540491004It doesn't overheat when spamming cooldown between shots, so yes it does. Downtime for the charging variant kills the headstart it gets over a boss fight.
>>540490330heavy bolt rifle is shit
>>540490330it's balancedhipfire wrecks accuracy and rate of fire. never hipfire. even when the enemy is pointblack. especially when the enemy is pointblack, ignore the armor. you can trade. just keep firing.getting to relic weapons is painfuldo the melta last, or at least secondplasma has an arc and needs to be charged to deal proper damage
>>540491159Why does saber keep pushing the melee meme on heavy so hard?
>>540491457No idea, they seem to believe inherent weaknesses of the class where they feel like shit, that they intentionally slotted into the class as a trade-off for how good they are elsewhere, should for some reason be curbed with piffling perks.Heavy's melee damage can get meaty, sure, but it doesn't help his stomp. The wider radius already staggers everything around him, and his regular melee attacks are painfully slow, so you're just outputting gimped chainsword light attacks that take three times as long to hurl.
Did they fix deaths to count as incapacitations?
>>540491159why is multi melta a noob trap?
>>540481604Most intelligent men at least. Fashion and design is basic shit like pattern recognition and color combinations
room code doko?
>>540494857New players struggle with horde management more than anything else in the game. The Multi-Melta is the most immediate and obvious answer to getting rid of hordes. In exchange, you lose any and all ability to deal with the following beyond face range in a sufficient amount of time.>Neurothrope>Zoanthropes>Biovores>Warriors with Venom Cannons>Terminators spamming missiles>Enlightened Tzaangors>HeldrakeIt also deals pitiful boss damage in general, so even the big dudes it can hit like the Hive Tyrant and Carnifex just kinda shrug it off.

IMPERIAL FISTS ARE GAY
What do you think of magpies?
>>540497443They at least made one good choice with the boss in making the relic activation deal a baseline amount of damageSo while you won't be decimating the boss as quickly as a team with tactical, heavy, and sniper, you still do it in a reasonable number of activations.I really see it more as an environmental danger, like the termination boss, where the actual enemy you're fighting are the enemies spawning in the meantime.Plus, it's not particularly hard, especially compared to the mission preceeding it. A party that makes it through the mission but loses at the boss is exceedingly rare. It doesn't end up feeling that bad, perhaps a bit anticlimactic.
>>540497443>you wanted to fight in melee with your melee class in this melee focused TPS?>here's a gorrillion hit combo with no opportunity to do anything between attacks

>>540497443Get fucked, meleeshitter. This is a coop shooter.
I just started, maybe 22 hours in with the campaign and some easy operations to get my feet wet.I've become attached to the heavy, but i have questions.i hear multi melta sucks, and i actually enjoy the heavy bolter, but warriors and traitor marines just fucking block my bullets. Will this get better when i get my weapon tree filled out, or am i doomed to just plink at bad guys.Heavy stace is slow, and my dps isn't high firing from the hip I know i'm tanky and i should be near the front because of iron halo and just how thicc heavy is, is there a tech to heavy stance and move around?should i stick to heavy even? I've played everyone but tactical and vanguard to 5-10 and i just liked how heavy bolters feel. I do miss melee being a thing, but i appreciate the range and ability to mad minute waves of small shit.finally, what's the tech to level fast, get a carry in higher tier difficulties, siege, just spamming the short ops?
>>540509795You either parry then shoot or stagger them out of the stance with a grenade the n shoot them.
>>540509795>but warriors and traitor marines just fucking block my bullets. Will this get better when i get my weapon tree filled out, or am i doomed to just plink at bad guys.there's a perk down the line that increases the amount of damage done to blocking enemies, but you should just stop firing because it will still count as a bodyshot which deals 1/10th of headshot damage. when someone is blocking you either stagger him (grenade, stomp, fully charged plasma pistol) or change to another target.
Anybody else noticing a massive disparity in the game spawning way more ranged enemies lately?
>>540509795>Heavy stace is slow, and my dps isn't high firing from the hip I know i'm tanky and i should be near the front because of iron halo and just how thicc heavy is, is there a tech to heavy stance and move around?there's a tech that makes you immobile in heavy stance instead lol. you get used to it. Instead learn to switch it on and off quickly (absolutely rebind the control from middle mouse button if you're on pc). also notice how you can dodge out of the heavy stance but can't parry (or the other way around? haven't played heavy for a while now) to squeeze as much damage as you can before you get forced into melee.
>>540509795the reason why melta is bad is that nobody knows how to use it correctly, you use for cc and start manfighting them. iron halo is nice, but you should be using aggressively to close the distance from shooters, youre better off forcing the melee fight than try to have a ranged duelnow if you really want to kill things, you use the flamer
>>540510494>add a soulslike close combat enemy that dominates every mission>ayo ya niggas notice theres more ranged enemy now?game director's face when
>>540358304rolling
>>540511356I mean, like across the board. Tyranids spawning nothing but venom cannons and devourers to the point warriors with bone swords seem novel.
>>540496294Yeah fuck that mission, nothing but venom cannons, devourers and bramble niggers. Not worth 15 triangles.

Getting real tired of public shitters on these hard lobbies who can't stay alive for two seconds.
lore wise who actually uses thermal pistols?
>>540516938Do you mean volkite or melta? Dante uses a melta pistol, even killed the swarmlord in a 1v1 with it after jettisoning his armor's power unit and being stabbed through one heart and his spine.
>>540516938What pistol are you refering to when you say "thermal"Plasma, melta, or neo-volkite?
Will the Blood Angels Champion pack be for Assault?
>>540517394>>540517405i meant inferno pistol. an ultramarine reiver wouldnt have one would they?
>>540490330plasma is by far his best weapon. charged shots demolish majoris and extremis, deal solid bossdamage. uncharged shots 1shot minoris at ridiculus speed and low opportunity cost and are great for restoring chp. heavy has ammo issues, since he is the one ranged class that only gets bootleg ammo recovery when prestiged. his ammo refill talent when at 0 ammo is dogshit.
>>540517749Yes, the Raven Guard title was misleading, because the actual prefix was BA and not RG.
>>540517394first born assault troops, sergeants, anyone who goes cc weapon+pistol, but mostly blood angels (who devolped them/kept them after the fall between the heresey and 40k), also sisters of battle seraphim and leadership can use them. So can inquisitors.Volkite pistols are more 30k leadership, and 40k specialized troops (i think there's a lieuteant, and the bladeguard who can take it standard) but that's just pistols, volkite on tanks and dreadnaughts is slightly more common.>>540517405no one calls plasma weapons thermal, but i take your meaning.
>>540517893>an ultramarine reiver wouldnt have one would they?standard issue, no, but there are some weapon combos in the game that don't fit standard loadouts, so it's just one off character stuff vs grunt weapons.
>>540510739Melta weapons in this game being anti-swarm weapons that are shit against single targets is so retarded when you remember melta weapons are, like the power fist, specifically meant to rip through tanks and other heavy targets.
>>540519327The same can be said for any weapon in the game. Power sword can cleave through any warrior in a single swing but it doesnt because its vidya logic.
>>540516938Great Crusade Imperium used Volkite weapons en masse, in the Dark Age of Technology those volkite guns are just scavenger/emergency guns for explorers.
>>540520016volkites were kinda uncommon, they were supposed to be standard issue for legionaries, but bolters were just cheaper and easier to produce
>>540519921Making enemies spongey is one thing, making melta weapons the exact opposite of what they're supposed to be would be like making the bolt sniper rifle a shotgun.
>>540520765Kek. Nice.
>>540520765atta boy
>>540520765me when those chaos zigs drop
as vanguard is it worth diving in with hook when you dont have an execute? i find he just sucks when you are behind, hes a win more class. assault can always jump in and disrupt the enemy
>>540522734I do it because it looks and feels cool
>>540522734yes, you want to force a melee fight with shooters
>>540522734Is it a Rubric Marine/Warrior with a Devourer?Then yes, don't let them fire
>>540522734You zip in with the hookDump headshots with your bolt carbine and unga bunga meleeSpam E for execute
>>540522734Just click a head a few times and you'll have the execution you need
>>540522734Outside of executing, it's good for staggering shit that will kill you fast at range like Terminators.

>>540530541you can follow this guide from /ldg/ on goriginally an anon made one for wan 2.1https://rentry.org/wan21kjguidethen someone copy pasted it and changed some things for wan 2.2https://rentry.org/wan22ldgguide
>>540530192No idea. Hopefully a mod comes out that brings back a lot of dow2 armor pieces. The eagle pauldron would be awesome.
>>540530761Cool, thank you. I'll make good use of those. I know /ldg/ is probably the go to place for that, but I figured I'd ask a practitioner. The Emperor provides Brother.
>>540529314its not even that bad. i unironically have more problems with the hover-flight of the trygon
>>540510649>also notice how you can dodge out of the heavy stance but can't parry (or the other way around? haven't played heavy for a while now)You CAN parry out of heavy stance but CANNOT dodge out of it.

Can anyone confirm if a neuro/carnifex can spawn right before the HT room?
>>540532324Yes
>>540533429The game fucking loves not showing me then.Did they nerf Absolute's chances to spawn a 2nd terminus? Haven't had one in fucking forever.
>>540533574just had carnifex and neuro spawn back to back at the crossroad and right after in infernoi was solo assault
Why can't you play as chaos operators in siege mode? All those cool as fuck chaos skins are wasted in the PVP mode that fucking NOBODY plays. I understand not wanting chaos operations but siege mode is just arcade bullshit.

Why does this shit always happen on friday evenings?
>>540527860Thanks homies.Fuck chaos missions
Sorry for jobbing, holy shit.
>>54053404080% of my terminus spawns in Decap has been right before the elevator.
>>540535027Don't worry about it, sniper is fucking terrible for chaos now after they added spawn. Like if I were to rank classes based on their effectiveness per faction, Sniper's now easy bottom against TS.
so vanguard is basically a bad version of sniper and a bad version of assault put together?
>>540535629He's a heal bitch who can become invincible presuming other people don't fuck his <33% HP grapnel execute loop. The problem is nobody can reliably not fuck his gameplan up, so he often ends up flying towards targets that are already dead.
>>540532235Blanks are like psychic EMPs though.Wouldn't Titus feralize or kill any nids near him? Or at least be immune to thrope attacks?
>>540530773>Space Wolf>A fucking' pajeetlol
>>540534543Probably something to do with the voicelines and them being tied to those models so if they allowed it youd have chaos niggers talking in operations. Then again you never really know with sabre.
>>540536084Does he have iframes during grapnel flight?
>>540536756Saber have a very poor grasp of English. People asked them to make Chaos-exclusive Ops where you play as the PvP characters, their personalities expanded, and have you fight the nids or the Thousand Sons because <insert power grap here>, and they thought people meant playing as the PvP characters in the Ultramarine Ops.
>>540536952The simplest solution is to just make the skins available to our ops characters. I don't really care about actually playing as >chaos the skins are really swag.
>>540536929He's completely immune the moment he fires grapnel. This is why for the longest while he was considered vastly superior to Assault, because it used to be the case that not only was Assault NOT immune during any part of his jump, not even with perks, but it couldn't even disjoint devourer cannon locks. And to make matters worse, devourers would always fire at you the MOMENT you launched into the ground pound, like the dive down triggered the shot. Assault just ate fucking shit early on in this game's life.
>>540536306Anon... that's a luna wolf/sons of Horus marine...
>>540535629>a bad version of assaultmy guy, assault is the bad version of assault. vanguard is the best class in the game (because of his busted heal) the Q execute loop is insanely strong, he can mop up entire massive waves by just pressing Q assuming he does not get stopped by his team (so this is a nightmare in pubs)neither his melee nor his ranged stand out, but killing everything except bosses at 33% is extremely strong. and he is not only invulnerable during Q, with prestigeperks he gets back 2 armor. he is also insanely tanky if built properly. he has nothing in common with sniper except the 2 armor pibs and he is miles ahead of assault. assault desperatly needs a rework since launch.
>>540537353Okay, now I get why people are mad at the dropfeed from Saber. That marine looks fucking baller.
Are they chaos spawn bugged or they doing weird dark souls delayed timing accounts or weird animation doesn't match actual parry window stuff? Chaos spawns feel like the only dishonest unit in the game.
>>540537668No, they're designed like that. Think the delayed Ravener attack, but that's their entire moveset. You're playing Elden Ring against them.
>>540537353Holy shit, what a rookie mistake. My bad. Still though.>A fuckin' pajeet>Saar! Do not tell the Chaplain Saar!
>>540537191>was considered superior to assault>was
>>540537668Just get used to it. Once you know it's spawn, and you see blue, put a mental note and wait for the jump.
>>540537425Thank you. Iron Kitbash is fun and I do recommend you trying it out of you like to customize your marines. It gives you mark 3 through 10 armor pieces and gives you more emblems by letting you pick an existing one then editing the secondary and tertiary colors to select other emblems like dark krakens and such. Even angry marines have their own symbol>>540537762Pretty sure it's just the map lighting. The skin tone is lighter in other missions
>>540537770Vanguard has fell off hard against Chaos, I'm being wholly unironic when I say Assault is better at fighting them.Plasma weapons are one of the few ways to rapidly stagger Chaos Spawn out of reinforcement calls.>Assault has the Plasma Pistol>Vanguard has nothing outside of equipment or wasting a grapnel shotChaos Spawn make headshot weapons even worse than they already were against the faction, after people were already annoyed by the tiny heads of the TS.>Assault has access to the Thunder Hammer, Power Fist and Power Sword, all of which mulch through these enemies no problem, and also his Plasma Pistol again ignores headshots for full damage even if it strikes them in the shin>Vanguard is stuck with the Melta Rifle as the only reliable option to damage a lot of enemies at once, because it's incredibly difficult for him to set up chain executes through headshots alone against Chaos, unlike Tyranids where he can dome a Warrior in a few seconds and start the chain
>>540538478Assault sucks because they can be shot out of the air by attacks that don't appear to hit them.
>>540538478nah, vanguard will always be miles ahead of assault until they rework the healing perks/lack of healing on assault. i solo´d every hard strat so far with vanguard, he is excellent at absolutely everything except at dealing with zoans and bosses if you are running melta, wich is what i do. but then again vs bosses the busted as shit heal really starts to shine again>boss spawns 6 extremis>180% health restoration all together, 210% including the terminusvanguard has been the essential top tier pick since they buffed the terminus heal up and raised extremis spawns and it will stay that way until they finally rethink the whole approach to healing.
>>540538478>>Vanguard has nothing outside of equipment or wasting a grapnel shothe has a primary and a secondary
>>540539179>Assault sucks because they can be shot out of the air by attacks that don't appear to hit them.It's called Unyielding Oath and it's a mandatory perk lock.
>>540539385have you tried staggering a chaos spawn with a bolt weapon when it's calling for reinforcements? If you start firing after it's quarter of the way through the call, you literally will not stop it. those things refuse to stagger. it takes 2, sometimes even 3 charged plasma shots when every other enemy is staggered in one.
>>540539462>Waste a perk that lets me work around shitty game mechanicsNo thnx. Just imagine dying to projectiles that don't hit you. Really good class design. Assault is garbage. That's why the worst players pick Assault, garbage class for garbage players.
>>540539179>>540539462the damage on jump pack charge is a noob trap. jump pack is good for the mobility and stagger, you dont need to charge it
>>540538478I dunno, I'm having little trouble setting up chain hooks on any chaos majoris type (axe helps if they get close), and I certainly feel more comfortable with vanguard against chaos than I do as assault. And I love assault, while vanguard is one of my less played classes. The main thing holding him back is the jank of his hook, but lately I've been figuring it out.
>>540539589melta staggers them pretty well. or outright killing it with Q, because the Q explosions from impact and execute deal 2/3rd of their health anyway. i just dont have that issue. generally reinforcement calls are not that scary for vanguard, you just kill what comes in. he only has issues with terminus enemies because his bossdamage is doodoo, especially with melta.but he is by far the best at dealing with masses imo.i´m stopping here because in my experience these discussions resolve around imaginary but-what-if scenarios where x happens and we both have completely different loadouts in our heads. a pointless back and forth. i just responded because the difference in overall power between vanguard and assault, fucking assault, is so vast its not even funny anymore.
>>540539864Anon, Unyielding Oath is mandatory. There's no asterisk attached to it. If you want to succeed on Assault and not want to kill yourself endlessly, you take that perk. It's the final piece of the puzzle that changes Assault feeling like wet tissue to actually becoming borderline unstoppable the larger the waves get.>Armor Reinforcement>Defense Mechanism>Hammer of Wraith>Unyielding Oath>Adrenaline Boost>Fortitude>Conviction>Fencing Power SwordThis is his safest, most get out of jail free build imaginable.
i think i get vanguard now. you grapple hook while aiming down sights. i have to double check but the scope bolt rifle dosnt have reload on execute so occulus is much better for this.
>>540540041it feels weird but the trick is literally>be right in front of the enemy you want to execute>Q a target behind himit will always stop you at the first executable enemy in the hooks path. obviously the targeting of that thing is still absolute ass, i´m not going to sugercoat it.
>>540537668Crab claws have delayed hits, tentacle arms do these weird big hits after some wind up, frenzy claw have big ass combos.
>>540540318instigator has reload on finisheralso you don't need to get them to execute if you have his signature, you just need to start seeing red on them when you're damaging them to know that they're below a third
>trying to get chaos armor sets>need 9 kills>have to sweat so fucking hard to actually get 9 kills before the game ends>niggers are getting 30-40 kills every game>i say they are aimbotting and cheating, but i dont know. this shit is painful as a 30 year old boomer. i fucking hate online shooters now.
>>540358304Hmm
>>540540696Don't know what to tell you. I hope back in and start bodying people left and right as a 32-year-old. Think it's because this game's PvP is Gears of War-lite with the kill times and general movement of the regular dudes. You just flank the enemy team and walk into 2-3 kills every time.You want easy kills? Pick Assault, stick with your team, DO NOT ground pound. Leap in the air, hug the highest LOS blocker you can like a big ass statue or tree or whatever, and start blapping people with your blicky. Nobody looks up, especially if they didn't see you jump up.
>>540540318and then you start to realize that you could have executed all of them earlier, no need to incap them. example: at 33seconds you damage a tyranid warrior with the execute aoe and then proceed to shoot it into incap. if you are playing on absolute ("damage" abilities scale with difficulty) an aoe execute does 2/3 of any majoris healthbar, meaning it is executable. you can kill entire massive waves just by softening up one target and then just Q´ing.the Q targeting is weird as shit and needs some patience, you really need to make sure the target is locked and then dont move your mouse at all because that thing will jump towards that one gaunt all the way across the stage on a whim.also >>540540354pressing X to check their health status helps. also if you get red effects on hit that means a enemy is at 1/3rd health.
>>540541115>an aoe execute does 2/3 of any majoris healthbarthats good to know
>Full health>Full armor>NPC vanguard grapples the gaunt I've just meleed>No other enemies active>No grenades>I get instantly downedAssault is truly a cursed class.
>>540542778whatever you take, you suffer>dont take increased ranged damage>neuro/zoans spawn>dont take 50% contested health retention>watch it fade away>take fist>watch it fade away>dont take fist>deal no damage>take aoe groundpound>do fuckall vs majoris>take singletarget groundpound>the cleave-system says your damage landed on that 1 gaunt next to the lictor>take dodge>lol lmao
How did they release a full White Scars package and not add cosmetics to add lightning to the leg; outside the champion skin only available on assault.What the fuck is this man
>>540544375the white scars pack is especially lazy in general. the red fur thing clips through everything. its static. absolutely horrible.
can you respec weapon perk trees? I'm pretty sure i just clicked random perks for the first 2 or 3 weapons I leveled up so I'd definitely like to make them Less Shit if at all possible
>>540546220yes
>reliquary>all three melee classes
>just giga carried my first game>last brother standing twice against chaosnig waves twice
>>540535502Sniper is still good. Just just use block knife if you struggle against spawn.
>>540540943>pick assaultYeah, except that's only useful if you're grinding for assault's chaos armor.You have to get 9 kills 9 times per class to get each class's chaos skins.
>>540540696BroJust play the Helbrute modeUnless your teammates are COMPLETE ASS, the game will last long enough for you to get 9 kills with a given class.Hell, if you get to pilot the helbrute, those kills count and you fucking annihilate other players with two shots of the plasma cannon or one swing of your thunder hammer.
vanguard is okay. its like a weaker sniper that can stagger on extremis on demand. then you have you own grapple aoe damage minigame. the op heal skill makes it so people arent mad for you playing him
>>540540696how are you struggling with 9 kills. my team will be getting stomped and ill always still get 9 by the end
how am i supposed to know an enemy is below 33% health
>>540525359He's an Imperial Saint. The Emperor spoke directly to him at the end of SM2's campaign.>defeat Imurah>Rise, son of Guilliman>attributed to "voice"
You can really tell how brown a heavy player is irl by the team perk they choose.
>>540555916default press X on keyboard and it locks on target, if the three small triangles turn into one red triangle the enemy is at 33% hp
>>540555916lock on to them or use your eyes to see when they start flashing red when you damage them
>>540553251chaos has such insane drip it might turn a nigga heretical
>>540408684Every single chapter color is a shade too bright and I will fight everyone on this. Even the blacks are not black, and the whites not white enough.
>>540555916Retards say "lock on", which is moronic because it fucks with your camera and ability to attack other enemiesLegends say "You know because you know how many headshots/melee hits you landed and whether you're at 33% or not"
>>540557206Helbrute mode is pretty damn fun so grinding these out wasn't too bad. I only have Heavy left.
>>540557459>>540557206>Space Marine 3 you play as an alternative universe Titus who falls to Chaos >PvE mode is Chaos vs Nids / Orks>Instead of classes, you can align with the Chaos gods in different ways to create your dream Chaos marine
Any fashion forward anons around? Want to bounce some looks off of you guys.
>>540557602the sign is a subtle joke
>>540540696Why? No one cares if you have the sets, they're all ugly, they don't translate into the PvE mode. Its the biggest waste of time ever.
how about playing the PvP if you want to play it and have fun? why does everything have to be grinded who cares if some chaos armors you're never going to see anyway gets left unlocked
>>540558914PVP isnt fun in the first place

which stalker variant do i go: damage or ammo?
>>540572710For sniper or tactical?
>>540572781tac, generally
>>540572805Neither. Use the accuracy variant of the bolt rifle. It's an automatic stalker rifle.
>>540572882no
>>540573360You're missing out you ungrateful faggot.
>>540572710>Damage variant adds 1 damage>Ammo variant adds 18 roundsThis is basic math. 9 x 36 = 3248 x 54 = 432

what heroic weapons are good? I'm drawn to weapons like the phase sword and the combi bolter because I think they're cool but really I don't know if these are worth the points
>>540575002Right now, honestly? None. Burst bolt pistol and firerate plasma are ok.
>>540575440It's the same guy from earlier. Just a shitposter.
>>540571546you're supposed to rush forward while it's out of the bounds and fight it from one of the lower platforms. It's so tiresome, every mouthbreather I play with tries to fight it right at the elevator exit.
>>540575509I have no idea what you are talking about its a genuine question. is there controversy over these weapons or is this some gay general drama? if its the latter don't tell me I don't care

>>540572647I like to have a fairly basic look but with just a little drip. Unfortunately, this is the look Saber supports the least. They just dump the gaudiest items possible.I really wish they had delivered on the big customization update they promised so you could individually turn off little skulls, laurels, ropes etc. They're just so fucking bad at the customization part of the game.
Not sure if Dude Wall anon is still lurking, but I'd like to update my Imperial Fist dude. It's the 2nd row, 2nd dude from the left (red helmet with a 5 on the knee)
>>540579784Received.
>>540577078but those posts are about non heroic stalker variants I was asking about heroic weapons...sorry I don't understand
>>540578615>Saber had no choice but to backtrack their decision.Ftfy. Campaign was a solid enough product for me not to believe it was just a mistake in captions. It did say "Mysterious Voice" first time around before it was patched out. Besides Big E has already been known to talk to select few while on his holidays within the Warp.
>>540582202No, it said Calgar at first. Then they patched it to voice.They could take this in a few interesting ways e.g. it was the librarian who served with him when he was captain. Could introduce a cool new character for the third game.
>>540582202>It did say "Mysterious Voice" first time around before it was patched out.You have that backwards.
Do you guys think there would be a Horus Heresy version of Space Marine made?
>>540583374No, that's pointless. It's just a smaller, needlessly limiting setting. HH doesn't have xenos, less imperials and less chaosy Chaos. Not only that, both games in this series already piss off playerbase when evil marines are the enemy and not Xenos. If devs wanted, they could make Chapter specific units here anyway, but we are far cry from fully representing chapter agnostic stuff here evenNatural evolution for any Warhammer game is to include more and more diverse factions, not less. Which is why Mechanicus game will eventually turn into just a 40k tactics game where every faction is playable ultimately, it already has Mechanicus, Necrons and Votann. Same will happen with Space Marine series, every update to SM2 will keep expanding game sideways, providing more content, while sequel will come with new enemy factions - most likely Orks and Necrons. Throwing all of this variety just to focus on Marine mirror matches would be stupidly wasteful.
Took me 4 tries with the same team but I finally did Absolute Vortex.Really helped to get the helbrute at the very start.

Absolutely fucking not.
>>540587830I genuinely don't know what kind of game they think they have with some of these mutators but there is nowhere near as much healing as they think there isIt'd be one thing if it at least hit armor first the same way shit hit bonus HP in WWZ but holy fuck
*Murrs muskily at you*Brother, I have noticed your bulge.
Why can't I use the Bulwark's helmets as Tactical and Assault? Fucking cunt ass devs. These are the swaggiest helmets aside from the MKVII.
>>540588464Unironically a really nice Space Yiffer.
>>540534647>saturday morning>reseat GPU>everything worksYeah, OK. I'm not even gonna complain that I don't know what was going on, weekends are for gaming, not for fixing shit.
>>540537762Horus just did the needful.
>>540588778Victrix Guard are exclusively Bladeguard, that one actually makes sense being locked to Bulwark.
>>540588928No. These niggas don't have a shield, the big ass aquila or iron halos.

>>540582654To be honest, I played the campaign like 3 weeks ago and I think it said Calgar.
>>540591718It hasn't said Calgar since the first ever hotfix which was like the week after release.

Questions about roadmap:What do they mean by battle barge expansion? Did they elaborate?What do they mean by prgression update?And when it comes to stratagem rewards do they just mean heroics/cosmetics or expanding new concepts alltogether?
>>540594451Just think of the worst, lamest thing they could possibly do. That's exactly what they'll do.Just like with the "big changes to the customization" they promised.
>>540594451It means the battle barge (the lobby) is going to get one or more extra rooms.
>>540594451I'm of the belief the progression update is just going to be an infinite level counter. So people can see how sad we all are with our Lv300+ accounts.
>>540595139What if you will be able to use the elevator to get to the living quarters, get your own room and decorate it?
>>540595593That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard.
>Forgot i got krak and throw one at chaos spawn>Explode in my faceNot my proudest moment. At least chaos is dead too I guess.
>>540595864That area is already in the game, all they need to do is add decorations and let us enter. BAM! Battle Barge expanded!
well bros last night one of my RAM sticks died and it prevented the entire PC from booting up, problem was the fucking CPU led debug lights went on too so I thought the CPU or motherboard was bricked. Ended up flashing bios via USB, resetting and shorting CSOM, reslotting the CPU, reapplying thermal paste, etc. but turns out one ram stick whenever slotted simply prevented the PC from booting, other one worked fine tho. I went earlier and bought new 2x16gb ram and will request to RMA these old oneseverything works fine now
Should devs add some "infinite" drops, be they weapons or cosmetics to be more like vermintide/darktide's system where you have a bigger collection and progression reason to strive for higher difficulties? After you collect all armor parts and lvld to max prestige you just do ops for challenge or fun pretty much and only get credits (strategem currency too if you do those). Would be nice to always have something more to work towards, like difficulty specific drops
>>540596490It's not dumb because it would be difficult to do, it's dumb because no one but an actual faggot like you would want it to be a housewife simulator.
I have a feeling the Carcharodon pack is going to come with MK6 molecular bonding stud shoulders, since the game already has MKX variants.It'd be nice because that would at least open up some symmetry for the Raven Guard pack MK6 left shoulder that currently only gets to be "symmetrically" used with the Ultramarine pack Crux Termie shoulder, or its own Raven Guard embossed shoulder.
The Dark Angels genuinely repulse me. I feel an abhorrent sickness within me every time I look at them.
>>540596685But that same area also has the chapel, so you could pray to the Emperor instead.
>>540599045>Chapter based on a faggot poet's work are also a bunch of snivelling paranoid schizophrenics who think having a smidge of traitors in their legion is some damning only-happened-to-them death blow that cause everybody to turn on themIt's the fact that they don't even lean into the schizophrenia aspect to a comical degree, it doesn't exist until the plot demands it, and only within the inner circles where it's taken 100% seriously despite how dumb it is. They're a shit Chapter, with a shit color scheme, and a shit Primarch.
>>540599549*that would cause everybody to turn on them
>>540596561Would people seethe if they added Darktide weapon progression system to SM2?
>>540594451I hope for an area where we can test dmg, without having to install a mod

>>540596556Lately I had a similar problem, 1 of the RAM sticks seemed borked, I took it out the PC booted fine, next day I tried putting it back on and It booted fine again, not Idea what happened, prase be the Omnisiah.
>>540599341>shitpost my unfiltered dogshit opinion irl directly to leandros' face while wearing word bearers colors
I've just realized, why the fuck are the Carcharodons blue in this game? They've never been blue, they're slate grey to match the skintone of a typical shark every pictures in their head.
>>540606698"Technically" they're not blue, since the color Saber chose was Mechanicus Standard Gray. The problem is that grey has a pretty notable blue tint to it under bright lighting.Iron Warriors color is what I used. The shine reminds me of a shark out of water.
>>540601214Battleline Icon - Knee Is already in the game as a Lethal reward.
>>540607187Not a clean one. It has the roman numerals on it, and you can't make it invisible because it cuts out the shape of the numerals on the arrow, and you can't color it the same color because it pokes outside of the arrow.Iron Hands use completely clean arrows with no numerals to designate role.
>>540607394Set the numerals to White Scar just like the Battleline arrow.
>>540607750As I said, it pokes outside of the lines of the arrow. You can still see it.
>have to paypig for purple armorExtremely Homosexual
>>540606921Oh, here's my Vanguard Space Shark. I actually scoured through the colors some more and I think Grey Seer is the closest to their official shade.White face plate is on me, I'm a sucker for a contrasting visor to help make the helmet pop. Carcharodons do whatever the fuck they want with their armor anyway.
>>540609670>using the pointy shit from the White Scars pack to make jagged teeth decalsyou niggers are fucking inspiring sometimes with how you make the most limited shit work in your favor, fuck you.
>>540609989I spent years in the Forza Motorsport 1 and 2 decal creators, you learn to work with very little.
>>540609670>>540609989I went a step further with the white, helps sell that "great white" look. I like the end result.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okG97QRRUxoi knew it, block is always superior fencing trannies on suicide watch
>>540612467>*gets downed by a couple of tzaangors*AIIIIEEEEE SAVE ME BLOCK-SAMA
Do I really need to buy the Ultramarines DLC to get the proper color for Blood Ravens?
>>540612775literally never happensjust because you suck at block weapons, doesn't mean everyone else is
>>540620406I will just stick to fencing. It's not like you get more rewards for gimping yourself.
>>540620537that's fine, fencing is perfectly viable
>>540620406I have never seen anybody use block well in pubs. You fags don't exist.
Any ways to get that tiny scrap of xp without having to do a whole ass mission?
>>540625504switch loadouts during mission at first occasion and then exp something else for the restor play for a while and then wipe I guess
whoever said the Relic Heavy Plasma Incinerator was mid was a fucking liar, this thing is insanely good.
>>540626423relic or heroic?
>>540625504Start decapitation, run till mines placing and lose
>>540596685Said the guy in the male kisekae set system general
Are most ranged weapons still fucking trash?
>>540626872Plasma pistol is bonkers
>>540625504Play solo without botsOr with them but they will pick you up once.
>>540626630whichever is the special rapid fire normal shots
>>540623405NTA. I definitely don't use block well, but I don't use fencing well either, and balanced can go suck a dick.
Immediately killing a tzaangor from perfect parrying is enough to run fencing for me.
If you're good enough balance is just better stats and same functionality as fencing. Until you get 100+ ping tho...
What's go-to combo for power sword? Spam waves or just regular hit combo?
>>540630225You parry everything because every weapon is a nerf bat
>>540630225Power Rake is for shit not in your facePower Whirl is for shit in your face
>>540629692That's been my experience. Good damage, good cleave, good parry. All it takes is learning when to do it and you're set. The only thing that gives me trouble is when Hormogaunts turn into a fucking firing squad of like 20 and melt me from a mile away.
>>540611652Looks sick.
>>540630225You’re supposed to switch between modes to adjust to different situations.
