darktide the best veteran build period.

[@TannerLindberg]

Uncanny strike is awful please stop asking about it. It shouldn't be used just about every in any build. It's especially awful in a build where you have the plasma gun to one or two shot crushers.

[@drizzletegu]

Obviously it's not good at all on vet because he already has so many options both weapon and talent wise to deal with carapace, but I'm a fan of it on zealot and gunpsyker. I like playing a lot of different builds and weapons on all classes and it opens up variety when I know my melee can kill a pack of crushers fast, especially in a scab only.

[@be.a.7462]

@@drizzleteguI do feel like in scab only malestrom you are forced in anti armor only path…. So your build is going to be very different from an average run through you go through….. most malestroms don’t have scab only…. Same goes for any auric mission…. If you are going to focus on scab only missions you will run different tier weapons and items as a whole

is uncanny strike good should i incorporate it into my build?

Hey there I just started playing and its been kinda hard to find good content to get into the game. Most Ive seen just felt off so Im super glad to have found your videos. Sad of course that you stopped playing but hey what ever makes you happy. Just wanted to thank you for doing those guides and wishing you a great one

[@Ty-rs6lk]

this has been my go to veteran build when I don't want to try and just want to complete the maelstrom. This and your columnus build, pretty much.

[@revx1000]

You've sold me on the idea of trying the Competitive Urge node.

[@prich0382]

1:18 Tanner, Max Bleed Stacks is 16, not 8, so 2 crits for max Bleed Stacks

[@TannerLindberg]

You are correct. I mis spoke when I said that it doesnt change the point at all

[@devilsmessanger]

yey ! please do best Ogryn build next !

[@vladimirvojtaml]

Bro I tried the Knife on Vet and holy fucking shit it has so much mobility it is crazy. Suddenly I can survive so much better in Maelstroms whereas with power sword I would just die. I think PS actually needs a buff because the knife just shits on it lol.

[@2purplerefrigerators]

no close quarters killzone? I think I remember you recommended it a decent amount before. is it not worth the points like for the emperor or is it just not enough value to consider taking over demo stockpile?

[@TannerLindberg]

It isnt enough value. But I flip flop on it man.

[@Perseius1]

I still prefer the meta build with marksmans focus and columnus5 you did half a year ago. Not taking demo team is kinda insane tho. Thats 30 nades easy on auric mealstrom. Your words.

[@TannerLindberg]

It is. Thats why I showed a version with it

[@TannerLindberg]

The plasma gun is just so strong. That if someone valued it over the nades that's actually understandable.

[@bl1ndrag3]

this is how I've been playing vet for months now. works so well.

[@Shion_VI]

This build looks awesome. Can't wait to try it. Also - is there an optimized headhunter autogun, marksman focus build? Or are those guns so poor compared to plasma gun and columnus that it isn't worth building?

[@TannerLindberg]

It's worth trying but it is much worse than the p gun

[@Shion_VI]

@@TannerLindberg Fair. The 3 round burst Headhunter is my favorite gun. I'll just stick to that for fun time rather than try time.

[@armata_strigoi_0]

​@@Shion_VI Same, the Mk III just feels so satisfying to use.

[@leonturner]

This video is extremely helpful thank you. I will say tho your presentation comes across as needlessly confrontational to the viewer, for example 'cdr is the best stat in the game and if you disagree you are just inexperienced at the game' ☝🤓 Like brother idk what you mean by cdr but you're already calling me ignorant before i can even piece together what that might stand for.

[@TinyGreyOwl]

This is nice. Keep it coming.

[@UnknownRex]

Tripple blessed bullet. A true man of the emperor.

[@sweetlue2007]

You had me cdr for curios.

[@TannerLindberg]

what are you trying to say?

[@googlygoink]

Pretty much the build I use, the two optional nodes at the top left i dont take, and I spend those to flesh out the keystone at the bottom. The way the damage bonus stacks and refreshes makes it a near permanent 12% damage to your team, as if you pop 4 stacks on one enemy, then another 4 stacks before the buff runs out, youll get 8 stacks with the full duration. Kill one more enemy with a single stack? Thats another 10s of full stacks. The lingering damage buff stacks are fully additive and refresh all other stacks. So even if you never use all 8 stacks on one enemy (you will sometimes) you're going from a team wide 7.5% buff to a 12% buff. Toughness node is more optional but I find in high pressure situations with anlot of ragers or shotgunners or other elites you will be popping it every kill and that is a huge toughness generator for your and your team, on top of shouting for gold toughness.e

[@professormoriarthus]

8:05 tactical awareness tooltip states 6s cdr on "specialist" kill but ragers are classified as elites? i never paid attention to this detail before as i always include this talent in all of my vet builds anyway, but yeah...

[@TannerLindberg]

no you're right i just de fact to saying ragers when talking about it but there is a difference.

[@professormoriarthus]

@@TannerLindberg alright no big deal, keep on keeping on, i love all your darktide stuff

[@moki2905]

Great info. does dmg to unarmoured hit any significant breakpoints on the knife though?

[@Ayeshire]

can’t believe he said that

[@20days4life8]

I'm new to darktide. Do the different curios objects matter or can I just re bless stuff

[@armata_strigoi_0]

You can refine 2 of the perks, so you wanna make sure at least 1 of them + the blessing is good to begin with. The object itself is irrelevant, they're just skins.

[@Xhaleon]

Wonder what should be the right percentage for Rending Strikes to be more useful, especially since its self only. Presumably they set it low because its always active, but would it really be that bad for the overall game if it was much higher?

[@TannerLindberg]

it would need to be ATLEAST 25% or 30% for me to even consider it.

[@TannerLindberg]

it got nerfed it used to be 25% but it got nerfed since people were always using it not becuase its good look at plasma gun it escaped nerfs while the mk5 didnt. they nerf based on play rate not how strong.

[@Xhaleon]

@@TannerLindberg Youre right, it's been so long but I do remember the nerf now. If FS would rather tweak the numbers than rework the node entirely, they could try splitting it up to have different values between weapons, ranged and melee. Gonna be complicated though.

[@Stormbreaker613UA]

Build for Scout Laz Gun MK 7 + Chain Sword (Cadia mk13) + Krak nades?

[@lumburgapalooza]

What do you think about swapping the "Redirect Fire!" tag buff for "Duck and Dive"?

[@infrared6973]

I like MK VII shovel with this setup and I hate the new sight on the plasma gun. Also you can still play with a circle reticle but it changes all of your sights to that. Incredibly annoying thing fatshark did. I guess I could play around with them and find something I like for all weapons cuz I hate the small crosshair the plasma gun has now.

[@torm0]

Are you opposed to running mods if playing on pc? There is a mod for swapping out crosshairs for any you want on nexus. It's not that difficult to set up and you can pair it with a mod to change the crosshair colour.

[@infrared6973]

@@torm0 im not on pc thats why im complaining about it. If I were on pc id have every mod imaginable. Im complaining about this change specifically because console Players cannot do anything about it. On console You either play with what reticle they give you for each weapon or you can choose one but then you have to use that one for everything when really I just want the circle back for plasma. You can play with the circle reticle the scatter one or whatever its called but it makes some of the other weapons a bit weird. Ill have to fool around with them and see what I can come up with. Playing with the circle makes controlling recoil weird cuz of the way the sights expand when youre shooting and it made the kickback reticle odd. Extremely stupid change if you ask me they shouldve left everything as is. I cant imagine a good reason as to why you needed to change every reticle in the game and then restrict our options after the fact.

[@torm0]

@@infrared6973 To be honest I'm not happy with the change either. Even with the mods the back catalogue of crosshairs has changed and I preferred a lot of the old ones to choose from. I already had a mod to change reticle size based on accuracy so was just a downgrade overall.

[@infrared6973]

@@torm0 the only one that really bothers me is the plasma gun change because the one they have now is like some cs go weird extremely small sight and it makes it so that my target priority is way off since the change. You can be off by like a milimeter but thats all that matters cuz its a single shot weapon. Switching from target to target and lining up headshots and things is just so off with the new sight I hate it. I mostly use the braved autogun because of it but i want to use the plasma gun. Also even if they nerf plasma idc cuz i love its single shot and I love how much dps you can output before you need to reload. As much as I love the revolver I hate spending all my time reloading. Agripina braced autogun is my new favorite gun. Ive tried playing with plasma my shots just not the same so I stopped using it unfortunately.

[@torm0]

@@infrared6973 Honestly if I were in your position I think I'd just choose assault for everything. I already use assault for plasma anyway.

[@Halfgnomen]

Are you hopeful for the itemization update or nah?

[@project1game648]

Hey Tanner, this is off-topic for this video, but I remember you mentioning in one of your previous videos about the Fallout franchise that Todd kind of stole the IP right from the original dev team, who were trying to buy it back. I tried to search for more info about it, but I couldn’t really find anything. Could you let me know where you found out about this? I'm just very curious about this topic atm. Thanks

[@TannerLindberg]

Mostly just storys from black isle employees to tldr it when black isle when under. They auctioned off all ip.s fallout was one of them Todd went in with a blank check alot of employments mortgaged their houses to have the money to buy it back. But they couldn't gather up more money than Todd. It's a big part of why fallout 3 is so awful.

The Nerf wasn’t barely a nerf it was more of a tune up with its crits mainly for gun psycher but it’s still top tier S gun for automatic weapons

[@TannerLindberg]

It lost 1 crit during its crit burst and survivalist got nerfed. That's the major change.

[@prich0382]

You take Columbus when on Hunting Grounds Modifier, that's where is shines over the Plasma gun, because you just get a narrow door way or choke point, aim there and when you dogs gun, just open fire and they all die so much faster then with Plasma Gun

[@torm0]

I think the best set up for columnus is now flak + crit chance because of the crit change. Dum dum + either deathspitter, fire frenzy, raking fire or stripped down if running duck and dive.

I don't think he plays Ogryn. But really, take the +25 Toughness nodes, the 10% DR nodes, 2 Toughness Curios, The Best Defense, Smash Em, Batter, and Delight In Destruction. Now the only things that can really kill you in melee are Trappers, dogs, or an overwhelming number of Crushers.
