MERCANTILE HL 70-04 IS AWESOME - Damnation True Solo Gameplay｜Darktide

[@ryanthelancemain3871]

10:35 Chocob straight up punches a rager in the face. Knocks him out cold

[@bigbalticbox]

God I fucking hate fighting those guys. I wish that was all it took to sit their asses down

[@sander4656]

Morrow says "I know stealth isn't your thing" at the start, to a knife invisibility zealot lol

[@K41ZR]

Damn dude you pull off some wild shots with all that dodging and weaving. I aspire to that level of awesomeness

[@Bluecho4]

This map is so cool. The new mechanic for blasting open walls. Villain lines on the radio (a sorely needed insight into your enemies). An environment that's a mix of medieval city and cyberpunk (as if you're running through a far-future Mordheim). It's just a great time.

[@thetrav2100]

this mission is insane!!! the difficulty is by far the hardest ive seen, ive played it on lvl 4 no mods, and it felt like damnation with mods, they def have some hidden modifiers but i like it

[@samuelmuise5633]

I would say it has more to do with the level design than the actual number of enemies. take the coloseum for example. this is the only area as far as I know that gives snipers decent line of sight at that range and attack angles. this also isn't taking into account gunners who can suppress you in a similar fashion. inconvenient spawn locations will always make for more difficulty. take water treatment plan which is the opposite. once you get to the end, over half the enemies will get funneled down to 1 or 2 directions making your life much easier so long as you hold those areas. the constricted map design does make bombers harder to deal with but in general it's a lot easier than the big open spaces on mercantile

[@dionysusdelight1440]

They also just increased difficulty and reduced damage to enemies overalll last patch

[@thetrav2100]

yah ive been hearing that, its a good thing, i member when the game came out it was just too easy now its a real challenge in the higher difficulties and mods@@dionysusdelight1440

[@hennexdayz8959]

I love how the npc just stand around if u invis in solo. It feels like slowing down time in cyberpunk.

[@tobiasnenseter8044]

Your vids are the things I think about when I end up in a potential solo clutch scenario, I use what I see you do as inspiration (and tips & tricks). Problem is that I mess it up sometimes, but it is very fun to try to save the game, especially when you succeed or almost do. However the feeling I have many times is: "Darn.., I used the wrong build, I do not have my "get out of jail 4 free" cards."

[@HardBoogers]

I love your videos because I try so hard to move/decision make like you as a psyker. I think your zealot build is the fastest out of all of your other builds. Legend!

[@tysonsmith8761]

Your videos always seem to reel me back to the city of Tertium.

[@deforesttappan6478]

I love how they say get out of there before you get overwhelmed! But in truth it is they are getting overwhelmed!!!

[@Shachza]

chocoB's just straight up LARPing as Konrad Curze now. EDIT: Punching that scab rager in the nose for the kill... XD

[@Hasshodo]

As a vet main, this new patch has been a mixed blessing. Love the new map, but I wish Fatshark had left vet alone

[@sivel7493]

honestly, the keystones made vet wayyy better compared to last patch imo, I will say the middle keystone is probably the best out of the 3 and there definitely gonna be some number changes in the future. Especially the left one.

[@phantomeye5199]

Now that was totally impressive work on true solo all by yourself. Well done!

[@HarveyChen0723]

20:51 Almost game over by a split second, what a god like game replay, pure awesome.

[@madlarkin8]

16:48 as well... like 4 HP lol

[@CastellanMaben]

Looking at them scab gunners with them fancy backpacks makes me want the hotshot lasguns the Kasrkin get.

[@Atoll-ok1zm]

Man I've tried like 10 runs with randoms and I have yet to win on damnation. The trick I think with this mission is to just move fast. Cause otherwise there are tons of long open rooms where shooters will accumulate and shred you. For whatever reason randoms like to murder every single poxwalker before moving on and it makes us fight so many extra hoards.

[@reddeviledeggs1001]

I always get wiped out at the ampitheatre. I noticed my only win came from closing both of the gates. And hanging out by the entrance (where you first enter the theatre). Psyker with shield is also essential considering the gunner spam.

[@Yorushima]

There's a yes and no to this. Yes, you shouldn't be greedily picking a fight with every enemy that falls in your sight-line, in particular ranged enemies that have caught onto your presence before you've found equal grounds to engage. Most pub members I've run alongside will try to beeline through gunfire, retreat into exposed corners when overrun, or (the cardinal sin,) trade blows with bruisers, ragers, and maulers without dodging or even repositioning as needed. Darktide and Vermintide both require you to think of the map layout and potential kill-zones you'll get pushed into, but Darktide hits that harder with the significant increase in ranged units. No, you shouldn't be rushing for the end of the map. It may not seem obvious but like Vermintide, hordes, monsters, patrols, and specialist squads spawn when location triggers have been hit. If you haven't fought off the previous wave of threats before sprinting into the next one, you're liable to get sandwiched, starved (for ammo/supplies), and forced into terrain that works against you. My assumption is from 15:00-19:40, chocoB didn't push forward until the mobs were thinned out sufficiently enough because the open field has more options for running around (even with a Daemonhost smack dab in the middle of it). With the enemy volume at that point, you have to assume you'll be forced to give up ground constantly, and that's harder to do in the underground cellars afterward. The trick with this mission is to hash out in advance where (and where not) to fight. As you said, there are tons of long open areas with poor cover, places that are unideal for engaging on the enemy's terms, places you are better off drawing aggro from and then pulling back to narrow tight corners or zones with good cover so that you can get to them before getting shot too much. It's a newly released map, so figuring that out might take a bit of familiarity first, but once you have that down, it's not too different from any other map with the same issue.

[@lourencopinho5494]

​@@reddeviledeggs1001you dont need to close the gates. Just camp the entrance of the ampitheatre, you can funnel the heretics into a single chokepoint and it makes it a walk in the park, even on damnnation

[@milesg7877]

Buddy system. if someone iisnt following you swallow your pride and follow them. It will make it way easier for them as well

[@meluvsquki]

It's not about moving fast. It's called pacing. Notice he chooses to go fast in certain spots for positional advantage and sometimes he gives ground and goes all the way back for better position. If what you got from this is 'just move fast' you need to watch it again.

[@Hoozpoppin]

I got blown off the top level where the switch is by a poxburster in the last area where you extract, and ended up on the ground floor in one of the alcoves where enemies spawn. You can close the large gates to stop enemies.

[@Matt-uj9wl]

not necessary when you can kite like a demon squirrel.( and you are solo)

[@Spskhai10]

Been watching your gameplays ever since I started playing this game a month ago and I’ve been eagerly watching and enjoying your content. Have you done a true solo psyker damnation run? Asking as a psyker main lol

[@primedestroyers2170]

Very impressive. Now do it with thunder hammer and chastise the wicked

[@danielallen465]

Love your videos, helping me push Auric Maelstroms! Gonna start working on my solos then true solos.

[@Miithrandir]

when you switch weapon from knife to the gun, it really feels like Lucky Luke 🤣Amazing game btw

[@rastawar72]

nice run ! Back slide dodge abusing ! And great aim btw !!

[@codegoodwin22]

Your so fast. Do you use that trait of 10+ movement speed or thats just awesome skills?

[@davidfernandes1966]

Awesome vid! I learn a lot from these solo runs, was wondering if these builds are for solo runs? keep it up 👍

[@dannydoomno1]

I see you are able to do a super fast quick shot with the revolver, any tips on how to do this? Amazing game play btw!!

[@gokdenizgunaypolat7511]

Awesome Fight bro

[@Sangheilitat117]

1: Switch to your revolver 2: aim and shoot the enemy 3: switch back to your melee weapon

[@cshairydude]

This is how it feels to be Sly Marbo.

[@andriosgustav5578]

How do yoy do the solo in this game? Mods or smt?

[@DT-diztortion]

Does the game spawn less enemies when solo? I cannot play a game where the director doesn't constantly spawn trash from behind.

[@catedoge3206]

carryover is real. vermintide enjoyers are boppin darktide universe. let them know the name sigmar.

[@fa11victim39]

Will you show the build you used for this please?

[@basil.0]

very nice run! love your videos

[@goodhoonter3925]

Kinda wish you didn't get flinched by ranged weapons if you have toughness or it's reduced crazy game great video :)

[@OhLookItsTekona]

you shouldn't be flinched though? or is it bugged?

[@Batatero1]

Zealot literally has a talent that makes you ignore flinches called "Thy Wrath be Swift"

[@OhLookItsTekona]

@@Batatero1 that's for melee attacks though. hoonter was talking about ranged attacks.

[@ArcaneEye]

​@@OhLookItsTekonayou probably found out by now, but it also works for ranged flinch/stagger.

[@OhLookItsTekona]

@@ArcaneEye I know it removes flinch and stagger as a whole. I was saying that having toughness should already make you ignore ranged fire flinch by default, which is what hoonter was talking about.

How are you able to go invis withought using the ability?

[@CrazySemAn]

When I realized that stealth breaks the game and harms the team, I began to despise players with stealth

[@GMODNOOB99]

How do you mean break the game? Is it they dont help?

[@mardnm123]

@@GMODNOOB99 So, a coomon cause of wipes for me has been a stealth zealot/vet running into a room, pulling like 6 ogryns and 20 ragers and then going invis and those fuckers charging at the team while theyre busy fighting a horde etc. if youre 2 vets a psyker and a stealth zealot, you kind of need the zealot to take over frontline duties. If zealot just goes invis for 6 secs, the mobs will aggro onto the backline. I think stealth abilities are cool for solo play, not with a team, impact is too low if youre running 4 man auric damn, and your zealot has shroud instead of the middle one, which gives toughness, ccs enemies and boosts dmg/reduces toughness dmg or just the charge + guaranteed crit for repositioning/giving your teammates toughness.

[@GMODNOOB99]

Meanwhile the 'updated' Veteran tree seeing the giga Zealot throw hands here. 👀

[@youdontknowwhoiam4349]

Your build looks good, but wouldn’t mercy killer and uncanny strike be better for your knife since it already applies bleed damage from your skills?

[@chocoB777]

Mainly for Combat Ability turnover and boss DPS. The synergy of Bleeding and Critical can increase the critical hit turnover and ensure that Shroudfield can be used more often. Plus, the bleeding damage is effective enough for light spam, so it's less of a burden on AIM. I think your configuration is also common.
