ATOMA'S ELITE PALS [Flawless Auric Maelstrom Penance] - Darktide

If only Ogryn was a useful class.
Atoma's Elite Guard is a penance awarding the Master of the Golden Storm insignia, recently added by the Road to Redemption update for Darktide. This video records our first attempt at getting it done with the Officio Ogrynorum -- a team of four Ogryns.

1x Mk5 Shovel
1x Mk3 Shovel
1x Mk3 Bully Club

Officio Ogrynorum, aww NOICE

[@phantomeye5199]

Wow. That was fantastic to see 4 Ogryn ATOMA'S ELITE PALS are the best if elite squad mission. Very impressive. Well done!

[@oneeyeuk5444]

I believe the collective noun for 4 slabs is a 'patio'

[@diegohg8786]

Those heretics never stood a chance.

[@walterbishop4145]

just got an amazing discord team tonight was helping people get this penance as well as the auric storm achievement we ended up going 5 auric maelstroms in a row with no downs at all the missions were (and Im bad at mission names) -Power matrix (2 runs) waves of busters/mutants and nurgel blessed with 20% cooldown -relay station (one with the desert map+fan) (2 runs) hunting grounds + 20% cooldown - chasm terminus (1 run) hunting grounds with 20% cool down arguably these are some of the easiest modifiers for auric mael but still glad we got the team the auric storm and didn't go down a single time

[@seaturtleslastname8286]

Loving this patch so far! The puzzles are significant additions to each map not to mention there are a TON of areas that have been reworked or added entirely to accomodate them. The heretic idols are a nice bonus to find and nab for extra pepsi cans. The new unit and new combat modifier also make ever encounter and map different. In my opinion playing Darktide for an afternoon finally feels as good as VT2 for an afternoon. The maps finally feel like an interconnected and lived in city, the way helmgart did.

[@xstreamdray]

I always imagine that a full team of Ogryns will make any heretic shit their pants lol!

[@LukeUnnotable]

I felt the pressure here lol nice video

[@OrAngelicBlitz8633]

Didn't take too long for ogryns hehe well done!

[@topcat59]

Cool vid bro.😺

[@xrinn6]

slabs together strong!

[@47RoninGaming]

According to the steam forums everyone plays dt wrong.

[@alias-yv2ro]

Hello! What is the build you are running? I’m trying to run a similar build with shovel mk V and kickback! 😊

[@dariogentile9525]

4 Ogryns as a Familie fight for the good and batt

[@lsps5181]

The portrait frames you have, what reward do you get that from?

[@hankjw_dt]

Those frames are awarded to community playtesters.

[@paduk]

what are your thoughts on the changes to feel no pain

[@OrAngelicBlitz8633]

I'll give my 2 cents on it. It's less forgiving for getting hit, but it's more forgiving in getting stacks back since it's twice as fast. Feels as strong as before when proper defence is used more often.

[@hankjw_dt]

Deserved and good changes. Gunlugger could too easily gain massive tankiness value from it because getting shot doesn't deal any HP damage until you are fully out of Toughness. Now both ranged and melee have to play around losing & gaining stacks which is both more fun and more balanced.

[@horror9363]

Can you link that build of yours?

[@robowolfzane6666]

how did you get 237 toughness? highest I've gotten to is 194

[@hankjw_dt]

3x 17% or 16% Toughness curios with 3x 5% Toughness perk and a lot of +Toughness nodes from the skill tree.

[@paduk]

also is the no deaths player or team based (as in you so long as you dont die it counts)

[@FireAnt]

This one is for nobody on the team going down even once. Not even dying, but just going down.

[@BSOE3058]

Except for disablers of course

[@celestialbean3687]

How were you able to get 200+ Toughness?

[@hankjw_dt]

3x 17% or 16% Toughness curios with 3x 5% Toughness perk and a lot of +Toughness nodes from the skill tree.

[@kevcobypearson]

Well, i have 211 toughness with my zealot, isnt impossible, could have around 220-230 if they all had 5% additional toughness also

[@orionakd]

must new pal world game

[@ZaTheRunescapeNoob]

The frame drop at the start is from weapon customization.

[@GrondGrondGrondGrond]

Hank doesn't have Weapon Customization

[@hankjw_dt]

My game is unmodded (I play through cloud gaming) so that can't be it.

[@basedx.]

That's just darktide being darktide

[@user-dp3wq4to3b]

You make it look easy XD

[@asrieldreemurr1918]

yah they have full coms which makes it easier

[@FlokiDargo]

gunlugger go burr. think a buff vet or zelot would be good in the squad, shame its limited to teams of 4.
