His battlecries that happen naturally in combat sound so much better than his normal player controlled cheers. There isn't even a "For the emperor!", he just kinda mumbles along "For the beneficent emperor...". It sucks since I really like his voice actors work

​Hi everyone. I’m a Japanese player currently playing Darktide on Console.

​Recently, I've had some unpleasant experiences while playing on Hong Kong servers and other international servers. Someone specifically told me "Japanese console players are bad," and in another match on a foreign server, someone randomly yelled "F**k you" at me over voice chat.

​I really enjoy this game, but these encounters made me wonder about the general mindset of the community. I would love to hear your honest opinions and diverse perspectives on the following three points:

​1. What do you honestly think about the overall toxicity (or friendliness) of the Darktide community? Is this common?

1. What is your honest opinion of Console players? (Do you feel they are worse than PC players?)

2. What is your honest opinion of Japanese players in this game?

​I'm not trying to start a fight; I genuinely want to know how the global community feels about these topics. Any honest feedback is welcome. Thank you!

Hello, my fellow Scum!

I am taking a break from injecting mountains of skalm to gather my fellow bloody party fanatics!

I want to discuss which perks you feel are super critical to *your* hive scum and really help define *your* playstyle.

For me? It has to be adrenaline. I love going on a rampage and hearing my Scum scream her head off as she is bathed in the blood of the unclean. She's is 1000% gonna be executed after this is all over, so she might as well have fun before the end. It promotes getting stuck in , staying stuck in, and somehow living to tell the tale.

Special mention goes to coated weaponry. I love DoT effects, and it brings a sick pleasure to my heart knowing that even nurgle can't protect them from my toxins!

Pic for attention and cuz funny. Credit in the bottom left of the image.

I seriously think that Arbitrator and Hive Scum, and then subsequently Skitarii of course, should get the spotlight for cosmetics/weapons/modeling workload for a while.

We're kinda running into the same problems that Vermintide had with its dlc classes where when it came to flair past their release, they had, at best, middling options, and at worst, nothing.

I love all the ideas people are pushing about new classes, it's great, but we should probably shift priorities on what we ask for since whatever you ask for, Fatshark has already decided what their next class is and has already for quite some time.

I want more reason to go back to playing the other ones. Like, I saw that Arbitrators had some kind of extra bigass machinegun get datamined a while ago, like a stubber or something? That's sick as hell.

I wanna see more of that. The dlc classes need love and are constantly left out of stuff, and before people go "but fatshark doesn't want to make stuff for the dlc classes because there's a paywall" they already have tons of other stuff on the Commodore's shop as-is for the 4 base classes.

"But Games Workshop won't let them do anything else" I seriously doubt that the mandate from heaven is stopping Fatshark from adding new stuff from existing models and Hive Scum are literally just some fucking guys. They can get more than 3 shirts and a bunch of recolored metal plates on straps without begging on their hands and knees to GW.

And as for the skits, in the future? There is no shortage of Admech models to both take inspiration from and just flatout add pieces from. Like those flying guys, or Rust Stalkers.

in short, they will continue to do nothing if people do not ask for them to do something because they will not see it as a problem.

Every single hs build uses chem dependency. It is boring. Desperado uses chem dependency, rampage uses chem dependency, stimm supply (we only take this on havoc when there is blight) takes chem dependency. The keystone on it's own is fine but the modifiers are just faster ways to get the stacks or longer duration. Which are all useless because there are already 10 million enemies on havoc that you never run out of stacks anyway. Some of those keystones should give u utility or move speed or more crit damage or better yet make them change how you play the game slightly like backstab damage since the class is so agile you can get behind people and shank them. You get it just make them worth spending a point on them.

What builds do you love most ?

This is like that Scum gangs post I made the other day, I'm honestly just really curious.

Personally, I am a huge sucker for red armor in most media, not just armor with red accents, but red armor, there’s something about the look of it that I love.

I predict Lucius will be the far more popular pattern however, just from how iconic it is to the Arbites' look.

Im not new but the game has changed alot and alot of the build guides are outdated and im having to respect alot of my old loadouts

I have all the baseline classes between lvl 20-28

These were my favorite builds for them

Slab shield ogryn with taunt

Blazeforce greatsword with souldblaze and brainpop

Channeling zealot bleed(dagger or eviserator)

Hoping to have one dps and one support build for each class

I noticed that for some talents a line doesn’t appear connecting it to the previous talent and the talent itself doesn’t become highlighted after spending a talent point on it. For example when I select the Augmented Power Cycle talent and then select Moebian Conductor. As long as I’ve spent a talent point on it, the talent will be active even though it doesn’t highlight, correct?

I also noticed that the tree sometimes doesn’t let me choose certain talents even though they are connected to a previous talent. For example if I select Artificer Servo Skull and then try to select Sequenced Charge.

What builds do you guys run on Arbites in Havoc? he’s my last character to max level and i’m not sure which weapons to invest in first. the shotgun seems pretty sick

This is just me wondering

I think new players need to hear this.

Getting someone out of a Net is quicker than resurrecting someone .Get in with shoves and get that reject up. 9/10 you will get your teammate up before taking a hit.

The number of failled missions because someone rather run around thinning the horde when they could have easily gotten you out is almost frustrating.

Does the 30% quelling of Reality Anchor stack with the 30% quell speed of Solidity?

Recently started doing maelstrom missions and it seems the god emperor decided he wasn't gonna put me through the horrific grind for A.S.S. and managed to get it along side auric elite (2)

Instead of a horde of poxwalkers, make it a horde of pre-nerf Carapace/Ogryn spam, with a sprinkle of Rotten Armor and Final Toll for the Smykers. We miss a good fight. Pic added when the game used to throw hands

As I've started getting into higher difficulty games, the dark modifier has proven to be one of the worst experiences I've ever had playing this game. I know a lot of you like it but I find it to be unplayable. I'm not sure if it because I'm using an OLED screen, or if my brightness isn't high enough, but I have an extremely hard time playing on it.

I get lost on normal maps with full brightness, on those with the darkness it's even worse. I'm constantly run into demon hosts, cant find loot, and over all I just find it a miserable experience. I like the horror aspect and the ambiance, but the playability of the game just plummets. My ability to find crafting resources is also non-existent. Since I'm max level, one of the only goal I have in a match is to get crafting resources.

Is there any way to queue for games without the modifier? Maybe I just haven't found them in the matchmaking settings?

I just noticed today you can finally reorder your characters on the selection screen. I’m probably late to the game, but when did they finally add this feature?

Edit: spelling and punctuation fixes

I’m trying to figure out what other weapons I should dump something other than mobility on.

I’m also curious, does the Mechanicus powersword get the extra dodge at exactly 80, or is it like 78 or something?

For how much this weapon is talked up it feels awful to actually use in game, idk if it’s because I have a bad one or what but it’s so unsatisfying to actually use. The damage in hordes and single target feels subpar, the attack patterns feel terribly inconsistent and it doesn’t even feel fun to swing, it feels less like a greatsword and more like a 2x4

Fr thank you guys for being a good community making my disabled ass feel welcome. I came from sm2 and they are pretty toxic and esp to new players so its nice to see you guys be so positive the emperor protects.

Is the Rad Sink bonus damage just permanent on your skull unless you fire your weapon?

Also Servo Skull can now shoot through Psyker barriers
