[@YouLookBeautiful2day]

Bardin is the coolest one

[@Vatt-Ghern]

With the shield and axe, I've found possibly the best attack combo. "Shield bash, strong attack strong attack, repeat" Essentially pushing them twice, then one sweeping cut, then repeating it. That patterns is insane at controlling hordes.

[@-cody_]

been running a very similar build lately on ranger veteran for the past few months and i gotta say, man i love the grudge-raker. it may have a few weaknesses but it's just so much fun to use. glad to see you back choco🙌

[@ryanw531]

ChocoB here taking pushing the payload very seriously.

[@bludablaz]

@chocoB - Will we see you playing Darktide this September?

[@budlikycz2445]

I can barely manage on champion with 3 other peeps. So my question is How on earth are you doing this on Cataclysm when this supposed to be End of Times as it says in the difficulty select screen xD Man this is impressive

[@joshuataylor7151]

Cata true solo? No shot that's insane

[@Killer85500EXE]

Bing chilling ranger

[@GorcStew]

Hundreds of Bardin players saw this and started shot-gunning their friends in the back :/ lol Nice skillz :D

[@G1ingy]

As much as I like the design of Grudgeraker I can never get it to work. What is the weapon even good for? Even looking at this video the weapon's damage seems rather pitiful, taking two shots to kill a Packmaster. What does this weapon do that a handgun, crossbow, etc. can't?

[@Jyeoi]

How doe find specials so fast

[@ryaneggert112]

Get the hell out of here. Kiting the rat ogre and pushing the cart up the circular incline? What amazing feat are we going to see next?

[@Pimpus526]

Oh wow, lost run. It’s so refreshing to see someone making a good try. Really appreciated.

[@supanjibobu372]

My only gripe with the grudge raker is that it sounds like shooting a bb gun. Where is the chunky double barrel gun shot sound fatshark?

[@LichDecay]

If I were in that situation, I think I'll try to push the boss off the cliff with my ult or bomb. This looks really fun, nice try!

[@themainman2827]

All Vermintide heroes shoulde be dwarves, that is lore friendly :v

[@Musewhisperer]

I just tried a few games with this build, which seems to be a variation from a RoyalW/Cheese build. It's absolutely incredible. The amount of TH generated is unbeatable, and you can handle chokepoint flanks easily.

[@yapierce]

I see you've finally started making regular videos again.

[@snutterbips]

Love your vids as always! Would you be willing to do a quick updated settings guide?

[@Vulcanerd]

I actually really like the grudge raker, but I hate running a shield build unless it's a secondary weapon like GK or WP.

[@zankaa8031]

Grudge + Cog is my go-to combo

[@ThermalSpace]

i dont get it. this is hands down the worst build ive ever seen. u cant kill anything, and waste ammo on shit ads, that cant hurt anything else

[@DOIL1981]

Well, the title says it’s his favorite build…doesn’t claim to be meta 😬

[@sobbo123]

It's tough for true solo but works great in normal games. Every build has some sort of weakness. This excels at hordes/unarmored enemies with the grudgeraker and is good against elites with the axe+shield. Its weakness is specials. Also with a strength potion and ult, you can clear patrols. Keep in mind his breakpoints are off or built for something different and hunter is better than scrounger.

[@mintcake6895]

wtf why did the hookrat suddenly stop moving right before hooking you?! 6:44

[@NyarlathMar]

It's happened because packmaster was attacked by a gas rat. It's an old bug which affects all monsters (but ratogre/mino/spawn can totally ignore gas by doing combo attack).

[@mintcake6895]

@@NyarlathMar wow this is great info, thanks. Does it affect hook because the gas bomb landed on it or is it because of the gas DoT from the fart?

[@NyarlathMar]

@@mintcake6895 Due to a bomb hit. After that monsters can move only inside poisonous area (green splash on the ground is the actual border).

[@mintcake6895]

@@NyarlathMar I see. When you said "monsters can only move" do you mean the boss monsters like spawn?

[@sivel7493]

I wonder why I never see anyone using the push+heavy1+heavy2+repeat combo of Axe+Shield, it has GREAT CC capability, really great cleave and decent dmg for hordes. I NEVER die when I use that combo when playing with...well, any bardin career.

[@hevityaus631]

I do lol. After find out this combo I love to play with AXE + Shield

[@maboris]

Choco also did it in the video!

[@sivel7493]

@@maboris yeah but the thing with this combo is you can just keep on doing it and you're pretty much invincible with hordes. But I suppose choco kinda wants to show off the grudgeraker as well :/

[@sivel7493]

@@hevityaus631 yeah, so much thp, so much stagger cc, even with stormvermins mixed in hordes it's still so good with the shield bash heavy.

[@Daibonnaire]

At first I really didn't like shield weapons, I don't know what happened but now I simply love them. Gg choco :)

[@BullHorn7]

This looks fun as hell!

[@rayj745]

Man I wish they would buff the gruderaker. Blunderbuss too while they’re at it

[@actualteddybear891]

If you like shields and want a shit ton of thp and cc run hammer and shield and do the heavy heavy combo with drunken brawler. Great Axe is good fun with Drunken Brawler too

[@TheCompdept]

There's obviously differences between PC and console. I know everyone's aware of that, but I'm curious as to what most people's opinions would be in regards to builds and weaponry when playing on console. I see a lot of great concepts for builds online, but they're always geared towards PC and I'm wondering how well that'll translate. Some of the ones I've tried work really well and other ones seem to flop and I'm just trying to figure out if it's the HP difference. The horde frequency difference or if I'm just a terrible player. Any in all opinions are welcome as long as they're kind

[@danielsterling4918]

I know this is a pretty old comment, but the "breakpoints" are different, aka, the power/stat values needed are different for things like 1 or 2 shot body/headshots, whether or not you can stagger certain enemies out of attacks, etc

[@TheCompdept]

@@danielsterling4918 no, it's no problem that it's an old comment and in fact I appreciate any responses that can help. So thank you!! Since I posted that some of the things I thought were real.... Turned out to be real. Not only was the information dad in mind but employees have posted about the fact that PC has larger numbers of enemies where console has higher HP and DP for enemies. I was really trying to find out if someone had a website with builds based on console players because every time I find any websites with builds they're for PC players and then those builds are subjected to the difference in HP and DP from the enemies. I am at this point aware of the break points but when I posted this I definitely wasn't lol. Again, thanks for reaching out to help. Things like that are always appreciated. Enjoy your gaming!

[@angeljaime8548]

That shotty is ridiculous, i love it

[@Barghest.]

how i get this skins?

[@Jagaballer]

That was exciting to watch! ^^

[@InternationalAwesomeFoundation]

I gotta say, I've been a big fan of war pick/throwing axe, but I'll have to give this one a look-see.

[@Zigodu13]

Very good try. I wonder why you took the monster with you to the event rather than trying to kill it before, what was the purpose.

[@Ozzyozzysheesh]

How do I get dlc weapons that are higher than power 5? Bought my first dlc character and I can’t figure it out

[@陳彥廷-Taiwan]

20:00 why your map so bright, mine is so dark can't see anything

[@PROPHYZ]

it's doomguy - ehhh DOOM-Dwarf.

[@QuestionSpark]

Hey! I've just started trying true solo, would you be able to do a video on how to get better at it?

[@tommychappell6359]

What other ranged builds are there?

[@mothmanlives7212]

What’s the outfit he’s wearing?

[@clayp6415]

Always loved the grudge raker

[@scrump_cider]

Ain't no way he running the doom shotty build

[@sweatyslapfight7900]

I haven't played Vermintide 2 in forever and basically never touched the dwarf man. Can someone tell me how the special shield bash used at 1:36 is different from regular one. Also great content and run as usual

[@AloysNeverood]

It's the heavy 1, great for stagger and thp. The other shield bash you refer too I assume is just the push.

[@sweatyslapfight7900]

@@AloysNeverood yeah, was talking about the push, forgot the term for it. Thank you

[@nonamer6969]

what fov do you use?

[@connor8021]

what skins are those on the weapons?

[@JbMuz]

Its the Weave Skins from the Winds of Magic dlc. Cant use them in normal maps without mod on modded realm or some glitch.

AH IM GONNA GROODGE

What FOV do you use?

[@Оркизкланачернаярука]

[@marcoscorral3742]

Que gameplay lindo

[@MarkaTella]

I like to think that in every successful solo run on cata, why the skaven and north landers bother when one Uberseik 5 member can single handedly take out an army

[@Csatadi]

It's a bad true solo build if you cannot handle monsters with it.

[@zinstonehead]

He can he just doesnt want to.

[@boku5192]

Yea it was strange but it looked like he was trying to use the monster and kill it after he got the cart in place. I suppose there would be more bosses spawning on cata? So having one rat ogre chase him through out level was better, maybe? I think he was in really good position to kill him when they were at the rising circular ramp cause there was infinite ammo and he could have been grinding him down without much effort. But I suck even on legend, so what do I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :-D

[@Kill47er]

does this build still currently work
