Yes, that's why I know that you can dodge blue attacks and red attacks, and why I also know that if you interrupt a gaunt's pathing with a dodge you won't be able to catch it with a parry. Retard. Why do people who are bad at the game insist on giving their two cents?

Fun, if a bit too damn reliant on hogging up all the grenade drops or a Tactical in the squad.

Sniper servo gun too OP
There's no point using the normal or the plasma version, they need to buff both since nerfing the sniper will make the class literally useless
My suggestion is that the normal servo doesn't eat up charges when shooting at Minoris targets and only eats minimal charges against Majoris/Extremis targets allowing it to be spammed while plasma servo only fires fully charged shots at maximum speed instead of common shots
>>
>>562517848
I like the charge but a majoris is going to load up a blue parry attack at some point while I make my way there or in the middle of my triple stab.

plasma just needs a projectile speed increase or not consume if it misses

Anon, if they started working on a new class there wouldn't have been any content for months on end. They couldn't even meet deadlines they themselves set before. Honestly, we'll be lucky if they release anything reasonably big content wise in the coming months.

I'm not, I'm just curious why that build even exists when it's so reliant on drops or a Tactical. I run Precision Servo Gun + Melee Damage Amplification

Turrets should present a directional option when interacted; to prevent cheesing the decision only lasts for 5 seconds before it defaults to a normal turret and cannot be changed again once activated; can only be recharged until its destroyed

W for normal turret
A for flamer turret
S for plasma turret
D for missile turret

Each version has their pros/cons as well as ammo charges
>>
Nerf the turrets but make them be placeable by the player himself. Half the time they're obscured by boxes and only useful if you lure enemies towards it, which isn't supported by the codex
>>
Librarian would be difficult unless its class skill is only Smite and 2 other meme skills like Psychic Blast (small AoE fart) or some kind of buff/shield.

Apothecary is much more doable since they already have the backpack tech added from the Techmarine and its even more easy since the Apothecary's backpack implements aren't active and 90% of the work are done with the Narthecium and Reductor Pistol.
>>
Servo Gun AND a sentry drop at will would make Techmarine TOO good and would require nerfs on both elements.

Just make it so Telorian can't use any throwables and instead he can place his turrets. Maybe place some pick ups around so that he can collect "gear" to put together a sentry while on an op or something.
Only nerf I would add if they really wanted to would've been 1-2 turrets per boss fight.

Needs some kind of health-related defensive perk, like more health, faster CHP recovery, slower CHP drain, ect. Servo gun variants might need another look but its not that bad. Otherwise hes fine.

Why don't they let us pick our equipment as part of our loadout. Obviously melta bombs shouldn't be included, but everything else is fine

>the class that literally shits out armor needs more defense
I agree, /vg/ always has the dumbest players for any given game.
>>
>>562517259
Combat Squad Resupply should have the effect of Secure Stockpile and vice versa. Tactical has so much going for him that not also having the best equipment restoration perk in the game on top of the rest of his kit isn't going to pain him too much, and Techmarine having so much of his talent tree revolve around using equipment, but then having the worst restoration perk in the game, is really stupid. Tactical, Assault, Vanguard, Heavy and Sniper all have equipment restoration perks that are no-brainer picks in their rows and have conditions so easy to proc that you will be doing it by complete accident most of the time (Tactical "procs" his simply by being in the game for a minute), meanwhile Replenishing Salvo requires at least a little bit of conscious effort in comparison and is competing with a faster Servogun cooldown and Augmented Tarantula.
Also the name of the perks are more appropriate for the other effect.
>Secure Stockpile... resupplies your grenades?
>Combat Squad Resupply... increases your grenade stockpile?
Shit makes no sense.

Can I get a rundown on the instigator compared to the oculus? Is there any value in using the non-heroic instigator?
>>
>>562520220

>>
>>562532347
It's honestly shit. The only carbine worth a damn is the vanilla one since it has a semi-auto version, tons of ammo, and doesn't have a scope that blocks your vision.
>>
>>562532347
>instigator
worse than oculus, an already bad weapon
>heroic instigator
better than oculus but that isnt an accomplishment

Oculus is actually pretty alright on techmarine because he actually gets perks that buff ranged weapons.
>>
>>562533148
Grim. I guess I'm using carbine on two of vanguard's loadout slots then.
>>
>>562533447
I use it for the arena bosses when I'm playing vanguard, since you get to switch out right before.
>>
>>562532347
In my experience, the Heroic Instigator is alright when you're dealing with the Heldrake and Vortex Beast, but otherwise I just use the accuracy full auto Carbine. Occulus feels like a shitty middle ground between the two and once I leveled it up fully I stopped using it
>>
>>562532347
The Instigator is dogshit, the Oculus has a final perk that does 10% more damage after you've used a class skill which makes it useful for Techmarine after using its servogun or a Vanguard who wants to magdump headshots after a grapple.

99% of all situations you're best served with the ammo version full auto bolt carbine in the first slot, a Melta rifle in the 2nd slot and the heroic Instigator in your 3rd slot.

Regens everyone's grenades every 60 seconds, granting everyone infinite grenades.
It's continuous btw, meaning the timer keeps going no matter what. So you can use a melta bomb right before the timer ticks to 60, and then immediately have another melta ready to plant for example.
Essential on siege. You'll regularly be killing whole hordes and multiple extremis at once with them there.

It only regens the grenade type you last picked up.
You still need to find a melta bomb to have "infinite" melta bombs, and their spawn rate is lower than the other grenade types.

You said there is never a reason to stop running it. That is objectively false. During missions where equipment is not allowed, you cannot generate equipment. This means Secured Stockpile is entirely worthless in the given situation. Thus, it should be switched.

Gene Stealers are literally made to fuck genetic material into women without killing them and sending them on their way. I forget if it's the earlier or later generations, but they make individuals who are outright Adonises or bombshells that can woo the pants off of anyone in order to penetrate society's upper ranks. You could have a Sister get insta-lossed by a Chad Gene Stealer clergyman she discovers is part of a GS Cult that's infiltrated her convent or something. Maybe he finds out she can't have kids, so he throws her into a pit with the more mutated ones for some horrific gangbang action, or the Patriarch of the Gene Stealer Cult uses her as his own personal flesh light.

Glassiest Cannon to ever be glass and a cannon. Zero fucking survivability or super armor, forced into using Balance weapons, and no ammo regen means you have to be excellent at resource management and not getting mobbed by sword warriors/spawn.

In exchange you get the best extremis killing ult in the game and all of his best primaries are headshot weapons so with a sufficient opening he's the only class I've seen that can out and out delete a Neurothrope in a full skill activation+mag dump. As other anons have said, it has shit grenade regen but if you're using the equipment perks you're playing him wrong.

Servo Gunstrike is jank to get used to but legitimately amazing and such great quality of life utility that it's hard to go back. 10/10 will die because you tried to gunstrike while your servo gun was busy killing 4+ Majoris and not the Ravener ripping your ass off.

He's fun and decent. Right beside Sniper in the "This thing needs to die now" department but under Tactical in overall metacomp placing. I just got him l25p4 yesterday, last dude I needed to max out, so now I'm just having fun testing other shit.
>>
>>562532347
Base Instigator fucking sucks. Damage and fire rate is too low to do anything. Heroic Instigator actially is a good weapon but the ammo economy on it is hot garbage so only pull it out if something needs to die asap. Also don't listen to people who say the occulus is bad. The 2x headshot variant is good and the scope makes it laser accurate so unless you're retarded and zoom in down a Tyranid's trachea you'll be fine using it like a midpoint between the base autocarbine and a sniper rifle. As far as the regular carbine goes, most use the ammo auto variant for shoving the gun in something's mouth and holding the trigger down until ready to execute. You're not gonna hit shit with it past 10m though so it's effectively a melee weapon in your primary slot. Marksman Carbine is fine but you need ammo regen for it and thus anyone who can use it has better options.

Anybody with a brain should have been able to realise that asking people to pay for a voice pack DLC not even included in the season pass that doesn't touch anything less than every single line in the game wasn't going to go over well, especially when they were prattling on about it having "over 500 lines" without making it clear that number included translations. If they had just managed expectations from the start I honestly believe they probably could have gotten away with selling it separately without having it blow up in their faces and being forced to refund everyone and give it away for free. I do like it for what it is now that I actually have it, but it definitely isn't worth five bucks just to hear my Skyclaw howl like a wolf whenever he takes off, as entertaining as that is.
It was simply unfeasible to do something like this with the treatment that a lot of people anticipated and never should have been attempted. What they SHOULD have done is give the already existing characters some new lines for when they're taking up a different battlefield role now that their voices are interchangeable. Would it really have been so hard or expensive to have the voice actors they apparently have on speed dial to do some new combat barks for using the jump pack or auxpex? Maybe even take it a step further and add in some squad banter for it, like Decimus ribbing Scipius for choosing to be a Jump Pack Intercessor instead of an Eliminator that day. If they were going to expend any amount of resources on voice acting beyond the minimum for new operations, then it should have been for this.

Drop a single melta bomb on it and it'll stagger. Keep in mind that every time you do this, the average pub player will immediately sprint from the other side of the arena to drop a second melta to pull it out of stagger immediately, but never engage with the mechanic outside of that

>>562737708
Trygon is up there with tyrant and primes for one of the top 3 bosses in the game imo.
He stays out to combo often enough for me. I think they updated it a while back so he stays out more often though.
Just make sure you have a tactical so you always have meltas, and get good at hitting him with them. If your squad are top tier melta snipers, you can chain stunlock him into multiple meltas and really rape him bad.
Get good meleeing him too. The longer you can keep up with him and parry his combos without getting knocked over, the longer he'll usually stay out. Mainly just don't get greedy with gunstrikes, and watch out for delayed attacks. His tail whips are perfect dodgeable, and easier to PD than they look.
I don't think you can PD his vertical dive, but you can iframe through it, so don't be afraid to stay up his ass.

It's not. It's ridiculously disproportionate. You're playing on absolute+, in a co-op game designed around three players where like 99% of the playerbase has never even beaten a regular absolute. And that's on top of nerf modifiers just turning off essential mechanics like major sources of healing, major sources of damage, major sources of damage mitigation, or outright buffing enemies even further in many ways.
Sometimes the hard weeklies aren't even worth it. And those pay out an extra 185.
>>
>>562750428
I rarely ever see my teammates parry/block the Trygon enough for it to perform either its blockable double talon swing or its unblockable reared up lunge.
There's also an attack it likes doing when its burrowed where it sticks its tail out to do a single AOE shock attack that I always see done after a teammate is revived.

>but I'm not sure if your teammates can see the skulls assigned to you since they'll only be able to see skulls assigned to them
You can only see your assigned enemy, and your teammates can only see theirs. They really should've made it to where all the enemies that only one person can kill are marked, and have them be marked by having the icon of your team's classes above them so everyone knows they're there and who their targets are. Really basic shit that Saber should've done but didn't.
>>
>>562760860
The problem is that you get no indicator that an enemy is marked for an ally until you hit or shoot them. Slavs couldn't code something like all enemies show up marked but have the enemy that is yours be colored red.

To be fair the devs have completely wasted the potential of SM2 to fuck off and sell their other garbage horde shooters, as well as dropping most SM2 support for SM3 right after launch.

The logical conclusion of this concept was reached. There's nothing that can be added to an entire new game that can't be just tacked on to sm2. People screamed for sm2 for years and when they got it they got into it for like 2 years and quickly lost interest.

Just admit this series has limited reach and (you) just like giving GW your money

That's why I've been bashing my head into the stone wall of trying to make the Auto Bolt Rifle work.

Trygon is not more Kino than Imurah.

Imurah 1 > Primes ~ Tyrant. The Primes would be higher if they didn't get bullied so hard with the right set up. Imurah is everything I wanted to see in a sorcerer fight. I love how his disk when he flies around actually warps the ground. He's got the skulls, seemingly opens a tear in time and space to bring the Volkite reactor from Machanus Divinitus into the arena, has shadow clones and fake out combos. Legit, they should've kept the game in the oven for another 2 years so they could've added more awesome fights.

>it's cones,
which is fine because the more threatening enemies come to you in bunches and the smaller ones get smote in a single following blow or are just fodder for ground pounds
>>
>>562828169
the more threatening enemies are packs of ranged tyranids, who spread out away from you the moment you approach them, and chaos in general, who strafe around you and teleport to all sides of you
also enemies that go for you while you are mid terminus fight, who never approach from the front because the terminus enemy is occupying that space
also easier to get thropes with an AoE bubble than it is whatever the hell the fist has, it clearly has some sort of height limit
>>

nta but i hate how different weapons have different values for how many enemies get killed by a ground pound
>>
>>562828370
>who spread out away from you the moment you approach them
Which is fine because you can stand 12m away and still one shot all of them
>and chaos in general, who strafe around you and teleport to all sides of you
get one shot on the approach or even on spawn if you're standing correctly
>also enemies that go for you while you are mid terminus fight, who never approach from the front because the terminus enemy is occupying that space
And a big circle is no better when you're getting spine banked/plasma cannoned, you need to back into a better position no matter what which is naturally going to make shit funnel in
>also easier to get thropes with an AoE bubble than it is whatever the hell the fist has, it clearly has some sort of height limit
Most certainly not, it has a very clear cone you just stand further back.

I will never forgive them for not using the campaign jetpack mechanics. A clear case of lazy game design, a cheap replacement, instead of saying "this shit is fun lets do what we have to to make it work". You can just tell these devs are soulless capitalist husks. May god have mercy on SM3 assault they'll probably remove the flying next and just give him a dash.
>>
>>562827871
It wouldn't be so bad if the dogshit enrage mechanic didn't exist and you could actually reliably stagger whatever you manage to close the distance on. Only a retard would think enraged Devourers are fun to fight.
>>
>>562828979
if you don't know how to set up his perks and play him, sure

>>562831558
you understand that being able to shit out 150+ damage in a straight line every time you dodge, infinitely, dodging as many incoming attacks as you like back to back, as well as generating free armor literally whenever you do it, is somehow bad?
do you know what the word "understand," means? it doesn't mean "my ignorance has made me confident in my position"

I'm noticing that the guy you're arguing against provided an exact example of why he thought assault was strong, and every time you're asked why it's not or why vanguard is strong you don't actually talk about gameplay and instead deflect with insults.

Been trying to play pvp as classes I don't usually play. Pvp class levels are my last grind outside of ordeals, which are basically cheevos, which turn me off cause they want me to do shit I simply don't want to do, like go replay the singleplayer campaign a bunch.
And wow, they actually made bulwark drop his shield if you shoot it enough. One heavy can just pin you to death now.
As if ground pounds, power whirls, krak grenades, shock grenades, vanguard grapple ganks, and getting pinched from any angle weren't enough weaknesses.
At least shield rush is can be helpful for getting away or chasing someone down, when it doesn't instead jank out and switch your power sword mode in front of a firing squad, or auto aim into the wrong person and let your almost dead target get away.
>>
>>562833767
Assault may be shit as a team member, but the class can absolutely fuck. If I needed anyone to solo shit after everyone gets their asses kicked, I'd want it to be a competent Assault. At the very least, they can run away better than anyone else.
>>
>>562837558
How did you get the one where you have to spot a Lictor before it ambushes you? I swear they don't spawn in until they're about to leap. Haven't even gotten one by accident.

>>562837907
Not him, but what I did was go to the one campaign mission where a lictor is scripted to hang out near the elevator in Servant of the Machine, and shot it until it fell of the chains and restarted the mission. I have all of the rewards already, so I have no reason to grind out the ones I'm missing

He has the worst selection of primaries in the game. Even worse than techmarine.
No access to even a power sword. Let alone the power fist, strongest melee weapon in the game. Chainsword, knife, and power axe are still better on him thanks to his free dash attacks and better melee perks.

Jump pack can do virtually everything the grapple can do at this point, but way less janky, plus more. No fiddling around with the shitty reticle, and it's not even enemy permitting, so you can use the ground pound just to get around faster, like teleporting down big slopes, or getting over obstacles entirely.

Armor on gunstrikes is much more useful than armor on grapples, and you need to use a prestige perk for the latter. Speaking of gunstrikes, assault has the best gunstrikes in the game, and hands them out like candy with the heroic fist. Inherent -50% contested hp fade is more valuable than his meme majoris heal perk too. Forcing yourself to sit through like 15 majoris executions to heal one frame trap sniper shot is cuck shit.
Also phobos is gay. There I said it.
>>
>>562837558
Assault in PvP is a high skill, high reward class
It's a complete 180 compared to Operations
Meanwhile the Vanguard having shit primaries and a debuffed grappling hook is the worst class in that mode while in Operations he is mandatory especially in long and Chaos missions

Tactical > Assault > Bulwark > Heavy > Sniper > Vanguard
>>
>>562840338
Having bad primaries is better than no primaries, Assault cuck lmao. Also, the melta is infinitely faster and more useful for horde clear than anything Assault shitters can manage. Have fun dying and scrambling for CHP regain while Vanguard remains immortal.

Line of sight doesn't stop them leading the shot so you can overshoot cover, and the plasma ball leaves a trail that does damage so that's what killed you

You're not competing with assault's waaaay superior melee unless you specialize your primaries for horde clear or warrior/thrope sniping. Meanwhile assault can do both, even snipe thropes decently with his beefy secondary, or just fucking punch them out of the sky with a fist, OR rake them to death with the heroic power sword, plus rape the shit out of end runners like ravenors, lictors, and terminators.
So enjoy mopping up fodder and desperately eating my execution sloppy seconds to get back 1% of your hp at a time while I save you from extremises.

NTA but I hit L25P4 on everyone last week and have spent the past few sessions just enjoying testing builds in bog standard Absolute runs. It helps that SM2 is a combo of my two favorite game genres but I learn something new every time I play. Is this game perfect? Fuck no, but taking a look at perks, builds, seeing how things mesh and sussing out what rakes I'm stepping on not only has made me better but it's genuinely enjoyable.
A couple examples just for posterity.
>Heroic Bolt pistol with full headshot perks makes for a good budget Carbine after a melee execute because of that massive 50% headshot boost it gets.
>The basic relic balance knife is actually pretty good at mowing down Minoris because it has triple the cleave of all other options and works well with sniper due to exacting focus.
>Tactical with Plasmas can combo plasma boost and the plasma guns universal "kill 7 enemies to make the heat stop" perks to wipe the entire wave if you get the stars to align and kill seven minoris in two shots.
>Block Knife and Power Gladius may as well be called Carnifex B Gone with how consistently you can stack adrenaline or three perfect dodges on those things, making up for one of Sniper's bigger weaknesses. But don't use Block Knife on Sniper.

Yes, it's better than all those weapons because it not only does damage to lots of things at once, it also has its own ammo regen
>>
>>562910260
Completely differently and you either love it or hate it
>>
>>562910549
Except the part about having zero range so its not only worth less than a good melee weapon but also actively works against vanguard's primary build which requires softening up targets at range
>>
>>562910752
>has a perk that increases range damage after grapple
Oh you're just retarded
>>
>>562910260
Best primaries in the game, but poor ammo perks, so you gotta conserve more than other classes.
Deceptively strong with melee if you spam stomps, especially if you spec into them. Obviously the other classes are better with melee due to having an actual melee slot though.
Being able to ignore ranged damage with your shield can make you a very good ranged tank. Being able to just stand in front of a firing squad of snipers and devourers, or soulreapers and just blow them away with plasma shots or something is very valuable.
Very good at horde clear.
Can have trouble in high difficulties or especially siege due to the high chances of multiple melee extremises rushing them down, unlesa you're using the heroic bolter, but the heroic bolter isn't his strongest primary, and his primary is his bread and butter and how he shines imo.
>>
>>562910669
>>562911236
Thanks for the run down. From playing I’ve noticed the heavy bolt rifle is pretty bad, and the plasma pretty damn good. What heroics should I prioritize getting?
>>
>>562911236
You don't need to conserve with the heavy bolter and multimelta, especially the former. Just pick the accuracy version for the heavy bolter and the ammo version and the 2 ammo regen perks for multimelta. As long as you kill 5+ shitters with the multimelta you'll always gain +1 ammo.

It's the heavy plasma and pyrecannon that has shit ammo economy and shit magazine size.

Saber needs to fuck off and let players decide which melee they can use (with varying effects) and double/triple every gun's ammo counts. The Heavy shouldn't be starving for ammo boxes/crates at all.
>>
>>562906836
Sniper and Vanguard are made of paper, Tac and Heavy are decent, but depending on the Strat or if it's Chaos, they're only slightly better off, Bulwark can turtle up and eat Assault Cannons while also charging banner (I did this one time and it was comical watching my banner get recharged instantly by like 4 Terminators hosing my shield), Techmarine can probably put up the best fight if he has a Turret nearby, but Assault can not only gain invincibility on his jump pack, he can also use it to fly away. A Sniper can still get clipped even when cloaked, and he's cooked the moment it goes off if he hasn't put enough distance between him and the enemy. Assault also has a better dodge that hurts enemies, so even if he's just playing passively, he never needs to leave defense to be offensive.
>>
>>562911682
HBR is a fine gun, it just doesn't make any sense on Heavy. If you're going to play other classes, the heroic fencing knife is a must have, the heroic bolt sniper is okay if you really want it, the thunder hammer is great, some people swear by the power fist, everything else is whatever.

>>
>>562911682
HBR is high C or low B, its alright but will never rise above mediocre due to its very nature.
Heavy plasma is his best gun, its heroic is completely braindead simple but the ammo or charge speed variants still wipe half a dozen majoris at once from range if you can manage the downside. Multi-melta is really good for waves but you lose out on single target damage which leaves you vulnerable against terminus and extremis. Accuracy heavy bolter is a very good allrounder if you can nail the headshots (and even if you can't sometimes), but is more vulnerable to being rushed down and its horde clear is very linear. Pyrecannon is still a flamer, but its worse than tactical's flamer since you have zero range when not in heavy stance but worse melee and no auspex to boost it. Still amazing boss damage though.
Heavy really has to manage his positioning and target prioritization. Don't be afraid to spec into stomps, its a gigantic AoE damage that one or two shots minoris and can semi-reliably stagger majoris. If you get a parry off heavy stance and shoot them if you're able, it'll do more damage and get you the execute faster than trying to gunstrike all of them.
Heroic heavy plasma is his best gun for levelling all around but if you don't bring it get a plasma pistol secondary so you can insta stagger reinforcement calls or splash 3-4 majoris to soften them up

Melee heavy is a bit of a meme still but they're still very useful for staggering shit and saving ammo. Having a single point for a 40% melee boost is worth it so you can do one stomp and instantly clear every gaunt around you so they don't fuck up your parries against a warrior.

You get 91 shots with the Relic version and have two ways to get ammo back, one is using your side arm and the other when you hit 30% HP (which happens a lot more than you think, which you then just gunstrike/execute back up to). If you're running out of ammo you're not using your melee or side arm enough on less important situations.

>>562927278
You mean get a heroic weapon variant? Accolades shop, it's on the right of the armoury. You need 300 blue triangles per weapon though.
>>
>>562927278
you don't need to level up a weapon to get the heroic version tho. On the contrary, it's a common tactic to use the heroic variant to level up a weapon that starts off bad (bolt sniper ie)

The justification is that most enemy heads (barring chaos) are so big that chaining headshots isn't too much of an ask which also means bodyshots don't do nearly enough damage.

The one new class was 100% free but is currently lacking any meaningful cosmetic customization, an issue the devs said they'd address in the upcoming patch.

This is such an illogical train of thought that the devs have stuck to like a dogma. I can't think of any other coop pve game where headshots are the ONLY viable method to kill enemies at range. Its incredibly limiting and incredibly boring to play. Instead of headshots being a nice skillful bonus reserved for great players, its made piss easy for everyone all the time because its the only way to damage enemies.

And they haven't learned their lesson, because their new flop Commando game does this too.

>>563013460
If you want to score pad it’s very easy, don’t use finishers and try to kill all minoris before the majoris for nids. Instead of finishers keep hitting them in melee or ranged to kill them, depending on the stat you want to pad, like wise avoid gunstrikes. The synaptic shock kills don’t give you more damage so soam aoe to kill off minoris before moving onto majoris. Playing like this is very uninteresting and proves absolutely nothing about one’s skill, but if you want big number this will get you over 40k a game with the average random assuming they don’t wipe the minoris out too quickly.

Has anyone heard of the Night of A Thousand Rebellions? I was curious as to whether or not the Tanith were still kicking around in the 42nd Millennium and I stumbled across this event from 6th edition. Apparently, across the entirety of Segmentum Pacificus, Chaos uprisings took place in 999 M.41.

I just wanted to let my few Gaunt's Ghosts Chads know that, possibly, the war that spanned over 16 books, 45 years, in which countless men and women of the Tanith First and Only fought and died, had all of it's gains lost in a measly 200 years.

I can't believe it, honestly. Might we hope for a Gaunt's Ghosts reboot? Maybe the Sabbat Worlds themselves are fine and it's just the rest of Pacificus that's fallen? I mean, last we saw, Sek was dead, Sabbat was alive, and the Ghosts had been elevated to a proper honor guard position with Gaunt being made War Master. So there's no way they just rolled back all the gains made by the Regiment, right?

Double spoiler, fuck Celestine. Tired of seeing that slag everywhere.

Using a bolter with that modifier is just griefing yourself, use a melta/plasma or melee.

I realize my mistake now. I've got multiple threads open. Thankfully, none of you will know who the Zenless Zone Nigger is hiding amongst you. It's me, Skagwatcher, sorry :(

It's so fucking gay. Nids feel like chaos now that they increased the ranged warrior spawn rate, except I'd rather fight rubrics than ranged warriors. They're harder than extremis if they group up or enrage.
It's a shame too, since this weekly would've been fucking awesome if it was mostly bone swords and whips.

oh well just post codes if you need help beating the weekly
