darktide: optimizing fatshark's "official" COMMISSAR build OMG MIN MAX COMMISSAR

[@TannerLindberg]

discord.com/invite/dodamagedontdie Yo wadda up

[@Jeficus]

I think a Dueling Sword and a Las Pistol would be a fun Commissar weapon pairing that is both functional and lore accurate.

[@prich0382]

Power Sword, Chainsword, Dueling Sword, Bolt Pistol, Boltgun, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Gun and maybe more are all Lore Accurate

[@cyberneticReverb]

the crash being almost a perfect segue into speaking about the ""Official™ Commisar Build"" was pure comedy.

8:40 you were thinking of "On your feet" because you chose the correct personality for your male Veteran

6:53 best transition ever!

[@CopeAndSeeth]

Unsanctioned build, take this down or I tell plebbit

[@bradwhale8956]

The guy who did the vid is indypride. He mainly does total war vids but he's done a lot for vermintide 1 & 2 and did some good build vids when darktide first came out. Not so much now though. He's the reason I got into the tide games so glad you didn't rip into him because he's a genuinely nice guy. All his vids are to help people and and fun gameplay to watch.

[@xQc_Enjoyer777]

Incase anyone is wondering his channel name is "milkandcookiesTW" now.

[@Aalienik]

I knew i recognized that name from somewhere

[@torbjornolsson4622]

Hey Tanner, I really like your new 'style' were you don't sound so hostile all the time, you have always had amazing game knowledge, I just couldn't stand listening to you for too long before though, no offense. Keep it up man.

[@MoreImbaThanYou]

Yeah, I like that more, too. It also sounds more authentic.

[@Fuzely]

9:25 Very true. I've started playing Darktide 2 weeks ago and I'm really relying on those to easily deal with armored until I can make a build.

[@TacticalReaper56]

Oh those little rules for interactions Tide games have. Dogs not getting tapped is the funniest thing around. They REALLY want you to use infested modifier on your shit 😂

[@infrared6973]

Ive been loving recon lasgun shovel here lately. Absolutely slaps everything with onslaught. Of course im gonna try out whatever you recommend though.

[@AN71H3RO]

I love to role play in darktide. My Kriegsman, with the basic shovel and slug shotgun, is a favorite. Even though it's as far of the meta as you can go. But i enjoy it way too much.

[@GFMarine]

Bro what do you have on the slug shotty? I've tried to use it but I can't seem to find a good feeling build for it.

[@clampcuttie8430]

I’m one of the “I played SM2 after HD, heard about Darktide now I’m hooked”players. It’s obvious Tanner has the most knowledge on this game, are most of your builds up to date post L&L update? Great content, thank you.

[@Gw2Zoke]

Optimized theme builds sounds pretty perfect to help show off some of the slightly lower tier weapons, not everyone can live on plasma rifle all day

[@nassiissan]

That thumbnail bahaha, thxs for all the meta builds.

[@kronosDking]

Psyker guide when

[@cibrig8719]

I saw the build and i didnt even look at it and knew it wasnt good, developer builds are NEVER good Devs play their own game challenge (impossible)

[@avalokiteshvara113]

It's not a dev build though, it's a creator

[@TannerLindberg]

Its a dev sponsored creator build​@@avalokiteshvara113

[@TheArnoldification]

Trust me it would have been way worse if the devs actually made it lol

[@babayagagaming123]

been having heaps of fun and success with a grenadier veteran build (shredders +grenade tinkerer+Lethal Proximity blessing for +50% radius) + Focus Target and out for blood , it doesn't need to be equipped in your current hand to benefit from the aura blessing , anything left still alive cops a rashad to the face (bromentum headtaker my preffered melee atm) which is usually just elites, i also found this set up for whatever reason fixes the shredder bleed radius i saw in a previous video, it fully covers the damage aoe now, (go into psykanium drop a grenade in the middle anything hit by the intial damage bleeds) and its quite the massive noticeable aoe difference when you have both Grenader tinkerer + Lethal proximity active and without even just one, wouldn't mind you min maxing a veteran grenadier build

[@Merth667]

Tanner is on fire these days ❤

[@ANDELE3025]

Upfront apologies for lore tism, but since fatshark themselves also to a degree failed: Power Weapon is/was actually quite rare compared to CCW/knife or axe in darktide sense, or even heavy sword as is the case with 2 of the rare named female comissars, in 40k at least tabletop and lore side with very few exceptions but most being recent (8th edition and now 10th). Bolt Pistol or Bolter/(and the mini version of the) Stormbolter were always the main weapon choice/you wouldnt want them near melee unless doing Power Fist memes, or its a Lord Comissar (fancier with red hat) or krieger (and a few regiments no longer supported) where a PSword+Plasma would end up the default (and even then often cashing in for a maul instead of sword). P.S.a few times frag nade was indeed the default wargear nade (but generally twas both frag and krak till nades became strats and sheet abilities).

[@JohanKylander]

Fatshark puts in whatever they think is fun and GW let's them get away with.

[@agedgouda8809]

Hey Tanner, could we see an updated Columnus IAG/recon lasgun build for vet? Using the autos is probably my favorite way to play vet. I liked your marksman’s focus video involving the recon, but I’m curious if you find either of the other keystones to be generally stronger.

[@Americium-120]

What is this unsanctioned content creator doing? MilkandbullshitTW's builds are perfect, Obese Shark said so!

[@ignatusrailslayer]

Why are you going for frag nades when smoke nades are right there?!

[@zuluepsilon9880]

would you update a new gun psyker build?

[@amberlamps8709]

helll yeah

[@tastefulavenger]

Oh the vid in question was from M&C TW haha now I feel conflicted because he legit was the reason I even started taking Vemintide 2 seriously....this is just awkward. You've ruined my nostalgia with facts and logic!

[@tealmamba6150]

mm but how would one build a chainsword anyways? I know its not great but I do love it.

[@SkramaxVespero]

hm this works better with a duelling sword, my powersword ain't oneshotting crushers :/

[@TannerLindberg]

it does but that wouldnt be thematic tm also i literally show you how to do it in the video just do that

[@C4MG1RL]

A better Commissar build: Step one- play a psyker :p

[@Igelme]

Tanner, what weapons would you recommend that aren't plasma gun? I tried revolver/shotgun in the wep specialist build but they don't feel half as good and I'm tired of the plasma gun

[@spectre0969]

Bit of an issue in the fact that there isn’t really anything half as good as a plasma gun as far as I know, he said recently the torrent recon lasgun is pretty good and obviously the Columbus->vraks iag is absurd but idk if you’ve already played those and I don’t remember the build for the recon lasgun

[@Igelme]

@@spectre0969 I see. Do you have the columbus/vraks build? Yeah I figured nothing would be as good as the plasma gun, but at least I'm looking for some variance. Revolver/shotty were def not it. The duelist blade still feels good to me but plasma gun I've used too much.

[@richardbrown6421]

If u can tolerate the slower clunky movement of the bolter it can be insanely strong at bossing and anti horde. The fire rate buff from weapon specialist and pinning fire I think gives some of the highest dps in the game and imo it’s just fun to go brrrrrr into a big crowd. Kinda useless against crushers though

[@infrared6973]

Braced autogun is very good and recon lasguns are great too other then that I play plasma

[@uglybastard5706]

Boltgun, recon lasgun and the columnus are good choices but not plasma good enough tho

[@YizzTheEunuch]

Tanner your Commisar build here is almost exactly how I've been playing my boltgun vet this year. I use the power sword and the boltgun with almost exactly the same perks, blessings, and talent spread for the exact reasons you stated here. Makes me feel like I might just know what I'm doing 🤍

[@radium9]

Would you be able to post the build on gameslantern?

[@prich0382]

Tanner can you add the build to the Description please?

[@TannerLindberg]

Yeah when im on my pc again I'll drop it

[@Xandros999]

When we talk "10% base damage" isn't that better than regular 10% damage because it's going to be multiplicative?

[@prich0382]

I think so, As it increases everything else then effectively, rather than one portion of Damage.

[@drizzletegu]

"Base damage" is just damage, it's additive with itself. There's a steam guide that lists all the talents and what they effect in the code. What is multiplicative is power with damage.

[@Xandros999]

@@drizzletegu I tested it and you're right. "Base" damage is just damage. It's an irrelevant term.

[@pietrdavgar3744]

The thumbnail... Jesus, Tanner! hahaha

[@ButterPuddleonPC]

really bad? been destroying on it and its milk and cookies build not "official" build and u cant say the power sword is the oNlY Commissar weapon. look up Tithes

[@TannerLindberg]

You can best the hardest mode with no skills or weapon upgrades saying i do well with it os the worst thing you cam ever say about a build.

[@RPGandFPS]

He says its “the most common commissar weapon”. So you’re lying there. Not taking 30% weakpoint dmg, 15% elite damage and 25% ammo reserve its itself makes it bad. Then add taking desperado without taking reciprocity (where are you getting all your melee crits). Also taking exploit weakness over recopricity (where are you getting your melee crits). Taking Rending strikes over bring it down is just dumb. There are so many more issues that just make it “bad”.

[@infrared6973]

@@RPGandFPSbuilds like that are the reason why I see so many horrible vets playing with kraks and no survivalist. They really think anyone who creates content knows what theyre talking about.

[@RPGandFPS]

@@infrared6973 They have the fuckin bolt pistol and a chainsword and they need Kraks for armor?!? The rev attack is shit but I’d rather use that than waste my blitz spot and lose survivalist. Vet is such a skill hungry class and seeing SOOO many wasted points is triggering lmao.

[@fyiicheckforspies]

I never watch official builds for any game because they tend to get a lot of things wrong. Thanks for clarifying because I run into a lot of pubs skipping key Vet skills and are probably using builds like this

[@DeathEatsCurry]

God I wish Puncture actually applied to the point blank explosion. Knife + Boltgun would be such a fun combo if you could easily aoe apply bleed, and then rip into things with Mercy Killer.

[@ShupperDupper]

if ya want to have a silly time on zealot, i recommend puncture and use the throwing knives. they apply the bleed lol!
