Darktide Zealot | Making The Ultimate Case For Agile Tactical Axe Enjoyers | Auric Maelstrom I-E

0:10 : Build
1:40 : Combat
5:20 : 5 minutes of phone booth knife fights
I've done my joke Martyrdom Tactical Axe runs in the past but this one was something else. Thanks to Tactical Axes getting Agile in its Blessing Pool I got away with obscene levels of melee kiting through annoying masses. I opted for the Mk4 this time instead of the Mk2 just for its looping diagonal horde clearing light attack combo which makes for perfect synergy with Martyrdom's flat damage scaling along with a braindead easy mouse 1 spam to do so.
If you're wondering how I have different sights on my guns, skins on weapons you haven't seen before or weapons on mine and others' backs it's from the Extended Weapon Customization mod that's available on NexusMods in the Darktide Section.

Thank you Vamp, my favorite Darktide creator, for yet another Darktide video (also very nice clutch! Good job)

[@Vamp0613]

I was planning to have a chill run with my Martyrdom Tactical Axe setup but I was denied. This is probably the first run where I've ever considered having a secondary keybind to Mouse 1 for attacking due to the sheer left click spam I had to do alone for 5 minutes starting at 5:20 If this run doesn't convince you that the Agile Blessing is a godsend for the weapons that have it I don't know what will. Also someone please get me a hard drink to unwind from this.

Honestly clutches like this are so common at the moment with the influx of players. I had one yesterday where this guy had the audacity to tell me in chat I was taking too long, whilst I was trying to kite a thousand mobian 21st and bulwarks through that area at the 2nd medicae in hl-17-36. Bro...

@@Vamp0613 Hey Vamp! How do you have the sights with the new mastery skin on your bolter? I have the latest version of the weapon customization mod installed, but don't see the new skins...? Did you manually edit the mod, or is there a newer version I'm missing?

[@Vamp0613]

@@WadeGLouis check pins in its thread in mod discord. The author has to manually add them one by one since it’s actually a part instead of a skin on the game files.

@@Vamp0613 Ah, thank you! I found the plug in - much appreciated, sir!

you move and swing so fast at multiple points in the video i had to double check that i wasn't playing at double speed

@25:35 you got so unlucky and lucky at the same time. Fantastic gameplay. I have a long way to go.

This weapon always has highest survivability for me

[@KevinSmile]

This game is mezmerizing to watch

[@FreeCon01]

Are you using the weapon customization mod? How do you have the mastery camo bolter with the sight on top? Mine won't load the other visuals for some reason.

[@Vamp0613]

You need the latest version and it's a part on the gun instead of a skin as it turns out in the game files it's categorized there internally instead of with the other skins. The author has to manually add them one by one as weapon parts instead of as a skin.

agile blessing propaganda, we love it

[@inductr]

It's so much clicking I will try Keep Swinging mod. Then I need max attack speed (normally found in Finesse) maybe also a sweeping pattern weapon, which this axe don't do, but I will try. PS could you survive by just light attacking?

[@Vamp0613]

@@inductr with martyrdom stacks you can not quite sure if there’s enough damage per swing otherwise

[@chrisd3925]

I typically only light attack

[@RealHumRy]

i actually curious, why do you have to throw a knife before firing boltgun and flamer?

[@Pizza_is_old]

They're cancelling the draw animation of those weapons with a knife throw to start firing them faster
