its not so much a garand so much as a rifle fed via a double stacked stripper/guide clip hilariously shaped like an enbloc

The chinks are spamming the forums calling people white pigs, uncivilized savages and most hilariously "worse than the japs" atm. The funny part is how they can just do it and none of the mods do anything. Racism truly is only a problem if it's not aimed at white people. Actual mask off moment there. Internet jannies give no fucks about racism, they just want to stop YOU from forming in-group preferences.

>The chinks are spamming the forums calling people white pigs, uncivilized savages and most hilariously "worse than the japs" atm
what the hell? why?
>>571806193
>and just so happens to ping?
A garand:
>open the breach
>load the rifle
>lock the gun
>fire 8 times
>ejects the last round as well as the en-bloc clip
The martian rifle
>load the rifle
>lock the rifle, ejecting the guide clip, which comes with its own ping because yes, stripper clips are designed to be slammed away by the locking mechanism depending on your rifle

The source of the ping in both cases is some part of the gun whacking the clip out and away from the rifle, but theres a HUGE difference between "at the end of the clip" and "signaling that the gun is now loaded

The only reason this makes sense as a design is because its still plausible, but that ofc the mechanicus would have an STC for a garand, but completely fuck up the superior method laid out by john garand

press your grenade key

>>571807196
You just point at them and push Q. It might be different if you also have the flamer, idk I didn't take that garbage. You might be getting confused because you do need line of sight, and it can be hard to tell if someone is behind some bullshit when they go down a million miles away.

>>571807196
hold Skill button and aim at downed guy until heal icon apereas

look in the general direction of your teammate (clear LoS)
tap G
watch the blitz counter go down by 1
pray it worked

>>571807196
It's really unintuitive that it initially teaches you to use the servo skull on hacking skulls with an entirely different button.

the prompt on the bottom of your screen will change whenever you're selecting a suitable target. hold G to aim, then release accordingly. if you want more surety/practice, then untalent the flamethrower servo skull; you won't be able to deploy anything other than the medicae option.

After crawling their reddit equivalent for a bit, there are multiple reasons.

1. They seem to believe that western servers have half the difficulty of HK servers, so to them when someone on the forums says "x is OP" then it's a stupid whitey playing on whitey-H40 (nerfed difficulty) ruining the tools they NEED to beat hong kong H40 (full difficulty)
2. They believe that fatshark balances as per fatshark forum feedback. They don't know that nobody cares what goes on there, and that Fatshark balances by metrics and playtester feedback and sometimes just pure arbitrary dev decisions.
3. They hate whitey because of an inferiority complex. I consider myself pretty racist but the way these people talk about white people is incredibly funny. Half the posts are whining about how whitey is racist, the other half is calling to burn whitey at the stake and genocide us, no joke. Those are literal posts I saw.

Chinese racism is incredible. I dated a chinese woman once and she's the most racist person I've ever met in my life, and I grew up in the American south. She was racist about black people though so it was cool.

When all of the actual movers and shakers on the team got poached by other teams, i.e. Arrowhead scooping up multiple former fatshark leads to work on Helldivers 2. Some other anon can explain the details, I'm too sleepy; let it suffice to say that Fatshark got Ship of Theseus'd in record speed and now can only just barely keep their engine's lights on, much less make any drastic changes or additions to what's already there. The remaining crew literally, without exaggeration, do not possess the knowledge to do so. If they are making Vermintide 3, it will have to be in a different engine (most likely Unreal because that's all the current team is trained for, iirc based on some anon's linkedin nosing).

It depends on how loose your definition of a pizza is, I guess. People were making them long before they had tomatoes, but they were a lot different back in ye olde roman days. https://youtu.be/eEgSGkp8nMA?si=-6sVhE8sS2F_rtX_

chinks have an extreme inferiority complex because in their country they can't even drink the tapwater without shitting themselves to bed, but their government insists they must measure themselves against white people and overcome them by being the superior civilization.

It’s gotten REALLY bad in the past few years specifically sadly.

there is not a fucking soul doing expeditions past the first two nodes, and on the first two nodes you take the risk that the people in your team are going to have just bought the game today and somehow managed to get themselves stuck in expeditions with no fucking clue how to win them

>>571810478

it depends. I can read the room and make a decision that maybe it would be better to heal now instead of gambling to go down and throw the run. Sometimes pre-stimming is the right call and its actually saved me in the past.

It's any hit that interrupts your current action. Stun immunity stops you getting knocked out of terminal minigames, for example.

why

Kinda nice I get to play other classes and be the only one playing it in my squad :)

will classes ever get new cosmetics (dlc classes) or weapons? i feel like if fatshark wasnt retarded they could make a gorillion dollars off of skitari cosmetics (and then id pray theyd make me some pity scum cosmetics)

We need cooler helmets for skittles

The new Plasma Gun mk is kinda shit?

Mech power sword is actually ok, would be nice to have slightly fatter hitboxes on pokes

>>571815452
i imagine theres a magical number they have where theyre like "okay do enough people own this DLC that we can push new cosmetics" or some shit

desu I don't like any of the helmets so far but the default one is the least bad

I like the Sulphurhounds helmet

>>571814912
Boss killer stealth Zealot has a good reason to use them since your window of opportunity is so limited. Otherwise, I don't usually take them. That said, Skittles has both its stun immunity and uninterruptible tied in with other benefits, both of which I do want, so I actually run them on Skitari.

Nobody knows for certain so it's all speculation. Fatshark hasn't said much if anything at all. Aside from basic recolors and maybe the older mini if it's legally distinct enough from the Judge outfit in Judge Dredd are about all I can think of for them. Scum could be incredible even if they just have necromunda stuff, there's just so much wild stuff to pull from. Skitarii already have the pieces for the dog-horse guys and the basic boys, Ruststalkers and infiltrators should probably be allowed since we have their weapons and then I think we're out of ad mech boys that aren't servitors, the fly boys, and HH only. I want the hopilite weapons in both 40k and this so badly I don't even play ad mech

>>571815109
Because you only do heavy attacks on ogryn.

>will classes ever get new cosmetics (dlc classes) or weapons?
Arbites class released officially 1 year ago.
They have gotten zero (0) cosmetics and only 2 weapon variants, boltgun and bolt pistol.

So no. Skitarii won't get shit, no cosmetics no weapons. At best any weapons that get added will be shitty variants of pre-existing guns.

Never again, i used to enjoy playing melee classes in siege but if youre facing chaos it has become unbearable.

>>571817242
Rending matters yes. The rending talent is almost universally good on psyker.
If you're asking about the brittleness blessing, crit + strength blessings are more powerful. You can theoretically achieve a lot of armor DPS with rending, but you shouldn't need to, and if you desperately want rending in your havocs, bring someone else to apply it. You're the main DPS, you don't support. Bubblecucks are washed up, smoke vets are superior.

It would be cool if fatshark gave a new insignia or frame for getting havoc 40 every reset. It doesn't even have to be fancy just something that shows you have been playing it for a while. I guess a new frame every 6 months is too much work.

>>571818691
Unfortunately the arc maul starts with 2 heavies before you can chain heavy and light overheads. At least it has the same light attack moveset as the mk 3 bully club

>>571818434
the trouble with noospheric skull is you spend 25% capacitance to kill one gunner, and get at most 9% capacitance back from the kill
the more the enemy density goes up, the more shit of a trade that is going to become

>>571818841
yeah, that eventually you're going to need to grow out of chordclaw

I use it with my laspistol as a monster killer when i don't have the claw, and if go down or get disabled then i can still kill everything around me

the anon who said something about key jangling when I told him diagonals, uppercuts, and mixed movesets were garbage that ruined a weapon has probably killed himself after spending all day trying to figure out how to make the mechanic power sword work and failing because it's fucking ruined

>>571820835
I don't get the complaints about the psword and the transblades. They both feel great with all the melee steroids. Are your guy's masterys not maxed or something?
Falchion still sucks dick though

Havoc is least effort random modifier bullshit mode. It's good because it's hard but that alone doesn't really make it inherently fun. Most people that play them just play the least amout of Snorevocs it takes to maintain their rank.
Mortis is fun because you get to do silly shit. Clearing the screen with infinite ammo autoaim fanning revolver was how I got a couple last levels for my Shitarii.
The issue is the talking takes way too fucking long, the maps are boring and repetetive and honestly I would just have Mortis Trials but on normal maps. They already spawn shit on them for events, spawn a shrine that gives you buffs in the same places, but I guess that's too similar to Chaos Wastes and Fatshark has an allergy to that.
Expeditions are genuine unadulterated dogshit however. They're unsalvageable yet Fatshark tries.
Truth is Havoc, Mortis and Expeditions should have been a single mode. Take randomly generated maps (though I'd appreciate if they weren't all orange dirt, half of my hatred for Expeditions is because of that), add roguelike elements from Mortis that you buy in the safehouses and start throwing in Havoc modifiers at players the longer they go on - maybe one Havoc level for every safehouse, and since it'd be stupid to do all 40 safehouses in a row you can start from highest level you reached.
I just invented Chaos Wastes 2, didn't I?

>>571821014
Is quickplay just broken?

>>571821134
The mech power sword is a blatant head clicker, it sucks dick if you can't figure out combos which most players never do. It's like a 99th percentile of the 99th percentile skill to have.

>>571821253
No, it's working as intended, but certain penances that require mission completion have never tracked if you join partway through, that goes for failure states on penances that require streaks too.

>>571821275
>b-bro the combos
no one cares
you will never outscore someone using the most braindead shit in the game using your 5 step combo
the shivs hive scum spamming m1 does infinitely more damage than you and has no idea what a combo is, cope

Do the regular, non-powered attacks on the arc maul electrocute enemies or do you need to take electrocute on crit with them?

>>571821134
I agree that Transphobic blades are great, you get to have like 70% crit chance up at all times thanks to Skitarii steroids and Shred+Riposte.
The sword is mid at best though. The moveset sucks ass.

Why does Psyker attract turbo shitters?

Anyone try any of the autoguns for the skitarii shooting ability? Seems like a fun combo

so what's the best personality for skitarii

what is skitarii's class identity

I'm still leveling skittles and am trying to wrap my head around the stupid power sword. I can sort of get into a cleaving combo that's reminiscent of bret longsword. Bret LS was a more kino weapon though.

Idk if this is a dumb question or what, bud what's your opinion on the Punishment talent vs Scourge on zel? I run relic sword so I do a lot of horse clear so idk if the impact on punishment is better than the bleed on scourge. I don't run binded by blood to ramp off of the bleed, if that helps.

They work for me. Did you update the framework and mod loader?

is it a waste to use the voltaic talents without using the arc maul? because the power falchion and tranny blades have felt comfy for me + voltaic discharge

Redline protocols with the +1 ability charge node combined with horizontal chudclaw and 25% capacitance on kill gives you 5 stacks of basically infinite chudclaw. Pretty fucking rad to be honest. Shame redline protocols kinda suck overall.

>>571823092
if you aren't running charge and/or piety you're going to be critting VERY rarely on relic blade and will almost never get value on scourge
even with piety scourge can underperform pretty heavily since you get nothing unless you crit, and then the enemy has to survive another hit after that before you can start ramping up your crit and the buff time is pathetically short.

Loading in I figured that it was going to be a cakewalk. I assumed that maybe the vets were in a premade with the psyker and that they were just playing the low difficulty to play with their newbie friend.

I guess it was still a cakewalk. Difficulty fucking 2 afterall. But it was funny watching them die so much. I haven't unlocked the medical skull yet, so I wasn't able to res them from some of the pits of stupid that they jumped into.

>do progressively less damage
Wait so im not crazy and i actually hit like a wet noodle despite the white scar chainsword and the 150% melee buffboon?
Why the fuck would they do that what is the point?
Do you also have less health or do enemies do more damage?
Because after wave 15 its just a monsoon of rockets with the first hit basically downing you.

Claw is the answer.

I just realized, the devs nerfed all of the rending blessings on the the base classes because all of the skittle blessigns suck ass.

you running who are you? the little platform indicator you can have is very handy for spotting teammates who are going to be useless the entire match, if you see a playstation icon give up all hope.

that's irrelevant because the power comes from the arc. The moveset is still retarded.

man i wish there was a cursor hud option native in the game
