MY FAVORITE TACTICAL AXE BUILD - Auric Maelstrom Gameplay｜Darktide

[@pushrod3022]

Been watching you for years. You’re the John Wick of darktide. Gameplay is unreal. 😅

[@realest_JoJo]

Same here, been watching forever, and the John Wick of Darktide is a great description lmao, choco is the man!

[@Lanceliogs]

That first 5mins are very impressive!!! The gameplay is always great here! Thank you for the consistent very good quality content :)

[@Mineias]

3:20 absolute power fantasy right there

[@notputtingmynamehere]

Watching your movement has made me so much better at the game. I clutch out tons of solo games and get the revives now. Not sure why i didnt think about running back and kiting before

[@fabioeliasreisritter8827]

Chocob proving that almost every weapon is viable if you git gud

[@alternativeavenues7664]

This is why the only darktide I watch anymore is chocob. Every move he makes is a flex on worse players.

[@TheCompdept]

You mean what happens if the game backs you so they give you all the weapons for free and you don't want the grind like every other player does and then you play on a world-class PC with macro buttons that cut out the reload times and stuff for all the weapons in the game and how you can slide without everything running first or how the dogs like slow down unbelievably when they're right in front of him, unlike anybody else's game in the world that ever seen.... Man I've been complaining about the cheating crap this person pulled since vermintide. Play the game with a console controller with a video camera behind you. Proven your plan on an Xbox and do the exact same shit without any mods loaded. I'll bet you he's just a normal player.... Well clearly he's still a great player but the point is it wouldn't look like this on solo auric maelstrom. And you can do all the trash talking you want and responds to this. But I opposed it to this dude for a couple of years across multiple social media mediums and for vermintide and dark guide and he still won't do it cuz I'm right. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to play the game for a bed. Then look at his game playing go huh? Something's weird!

[@veryfilthycasual390]

@@TheCompdept idk what you're on, but they bash the dogs, thats why they "slow down". they have nearly 6k hours on vermintide 2 and probably closing in on 1k or even more on darktide. He's bound to be incredible and also be super min-maxy with his gameplay. There's no doubt in my mind they grinded for the weapons they have in darktide as theres, to my knowledge, no mod to let you spawn weapons out of thin air. They did use it for vermintide 2 if I remember as not only was it easy, but it was also mandatory to go into the modded realm anyways to play true solo with no bots. Kinda sounds like you're jealous, especially to do it for multiple years, you'll get as good as them eventually. Maybe.

[@fabioeliasreisritter8827]

@@TheCompdept The burden of proof lies with the one making the claims, bro. If you have proof that he's cheating, by any means, prove it and the community will see. From what I watch and from what I play, I don't see anything wrong. He's skilled and makes interesting builds. But if you prove that he's cheating, then it's another story. Until then, I'll still like his content. I learned a lot with his strategies and still learn new things with each videoqq

chocoB, i just tried this loadout and clutched my first auric game (with some help from fatshark's janky map design), thanks a lot

[@dojyaaan540]

Swapped to the Eviscerator after they buffed it and have been using it since. Until I saw this video. I love this axe so much. I feel like a true maniac with it.

[@leapinglizard3937]

I'm surprised at your choice of the Atrox over the Rashad axe, since that is favored for crit builds. Does it matter which Atrox type you use, or is mk7 the best choice?

[@Alex-gn6ii]

Mark 4 is really good with brutal momentum and decimator/headtaker. It can be super light spammy in horde situations and perform well. Mark 7 has a a great mix of the other two's move sets. I like mine with shred and decimator or headtaker. Mark 7 and 4 both have special attack chains that you can weave into lights or heavies to stagger lock elites and berserkers. I'd def recommend both of them to a zealot. Rashad feels best on a veteran imo

[@Bluecho4]

13:20 By the Throne, that's a lot of snipers.

[@706rikrik]

after patch this axe has little more dmg, but still weaker than before because of the perk change, usable, if they give some boost to the hit range will be perfect.

[@40K_Darktide]

you are incredibly good. I've already seen a few videos of yours and every time I wonder how you manage to save every situation in which you are alone. I would 100% die every time because I always panic in situations like this

[@dummy5036]

[@XYZ-eo8um]

Guess the shotgun fits Zealot more than Veteran

[@leapinglizard3937]

Always has, honestly. There was a skill in the previous feats (either at level 20 or 25) with the blessings in ChocoB's build, you could one-shot everything except monsters.

[@realest_JoJo]

As always your videos rule brother, and thanks for always posting the builds with the videos, gives me stuff to try out and weapons to work towards building, keeping my game fresh! thank you thank you thank you!!

You are a Master of Darktide bro....nobody is better at this game..I like it so much watching your videos...keep my sunday always better^^ XD

[@Noobfist]

I use a Tactical axe aswell but Had to change to the other version... the uppercut keep missing even point blank for me.

[@Jdub365]

Tac2 has great single target dps, Tac4 has great heavy combo for stagger. What does Tac6 have going for it, other than what choco can do with it?

[@hearmewhine2467]

One day pants will convince choco to mix a toughness curio with his health ones… one day. :D

Why the max health curios over toughness?

Would be epic if you would give some explanation in your vids why you make your builds the way they are so we understand the choices 👌🏻

[@rupturedpheonix3750]

Words and ideals can not explain their logic, it is that of gods

[@chocoB777]

Yes, I think that is a great suggestion and in fact I have considered it. However, since I am not a native English speaker, I may give uncertain or incorrect information, and since my concept is just a game play, I may overcapacity. I would like to help you all, but I don't think I have the capacity to do it consistently. Sorry

[@Aruka-g4p]

ChocoBさん参考にZealotやってるけど、どんどん作りたいビルドが増えていって時間が足りない　これも強くて楽しそうだなぁ

[@cali4806]

ChocoB can you try the chain axe? On a zealot please if you can. Thanks! I love the look and its overall fit for a zealot but the stickiness of it makes it a less viable choice for high difficulty

[@zihkar]

Chainaxe is a weird one, the light attacks are clunky if misused and should be used to stunlock low end units. I find that the weapon works best as a heavy spam mixed with push attacks when needed. If you run block cost above 30% on it and give it brittle + bleed on specials it can do great things. The special rev used as a push attack is also a very important part of it since it comes out at a different angle giving you an open horizontal strike around shields and into targets like mauler bodies. (where they are weakest) Block cost + flak or maniac is what I prefer on it. Flak being my main choice because ragers struggle to break the block cost stacking solo. Pair the Caxe with a gun like the colum mk v auto gun for maniac killing in cqc when there is groups. Make sure to run one +3 stam curio for the extra blocking/sprinting power as it goes a LONG way with the block cost. Also Impact talents make it solid at pushing things around, but not needed.

[@cali4806]

@@zihkar thanks!

[@chocoB777]

Yes, I am considering playing at some point. I don't think it is a bad weapon, but it is very player skill dependent and requires practice and familiarity

Would you ever show your keybinds for sliding? Great vid as always.

[@Axehilt]

Was surprised to learn you use Mutant Damage Resistance. Wouldn't you get more value out of something like Revive (when not soloing), Sprint Efficiency, or 4% ability cooldown?

[@RodoMars]

Because perks doesn’t really matter at high levels. As long as you are skilled enough in this game you can do auric missions with profane weapons without problem as long as the rating of the weapon is higher or around 350 to reach some break points on damnation.

[@Axehilt]

​@@RodoMars Value is value, whether you can or can't make it through Auric with a profane weaps or not. So your response feels weirdly superficial unless you honestly (and wrongly) believe everything is exactly equal in value so that there's no wrong choice.

[@RodoMars]

@@Axehilt yea i probably phrased it badly. i did not mean perks are completely useless, perks surely have their values. i just mean he probably dosent care that much to change the perks, since it really doesnt matter that much to him with 10 more percentage of elite damage.

[@Vineor]

Obv do what you please, but i hope you keep making the emperor proud with this lieblichen display of movement/positioning.

Just started damnation with my zealot and all I have is a crusher but i want a decent axe so bad. I hate the rng and shop dependence in this game but it is what it is. Just gotta keep grinding I reckon. Atleast I have a good fire shotgun.

Love this weapon to happy they gave the third attack more range great video :) Nvm they didn't

[@clayp6415]

A lot of games lately my team has died and then I survive for maybe 10-15 minutes alone on auric. My problem is I can't keep pushing forward and get stuck, run out of ammo etc. Spend too much time in one area and the game floods you with specials and elites. Its very hard to make progress alone on auric , doesn't matter how efficient you are the game just keeps sending more and more.

[@lotrlmao1648]

Hi Chocob, I have been rely on your Darktide gameplay videos to enjoy the game that I cannot play. Thank you for your videos. One question I wonder, are you a male or a female? Your pfp is female but there is possibility that you may be male.

[@iGuy28]

True high level darktide play is marred with tons of subpar weapons and talent; only to win due to *on and off the court fundamentals, NNOOOO **_funny_** business.* If you got the fundamentals, you can just as easily bring profanes in and still win.
