The Commissar Build | Darktide

[@rykenxiv]

Hey! Your Commissar looks exactly like my Commissar! Guess we both shop at the same Commissars-R-Us on the Mourningstar...

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

Seems its true!

[@Gobeldeg00p]

Missed opportunity to call it the Commiss-R-Us

@@Gobeldeg00p Damn it. I am disappointed in myself for not thinking of that first..

I can never run a vet build without field Improvisation anymore. Giving your Ogryn and Zealots more grenades on ammo crate usage is so powerful

[@Straddock]

@@bobthemexican8192 its generally not worth taking on pub matches. Especially when people decide to pick up grimoires, and first aid kits vanish. If you're playing with a group then it's a must-take

I've been using this same cosmetic setup on my vet. Love it.

[@thunder2434]

13G! Finally! My favorite weapon in the game gets some recognition at last! :D

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

Its simple but slaps hard.

[@CoolHatTom]

I love the fun and quick videos you make for your builds! For the chainsword, why not take Savage Sweep instead of Wrath? It gives increased cleave instantly and for a duration, and procs off the same conditions as Rampage. And thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate that you respond to comments so consistently!

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

Wrath has higher cleave potential, and is easy to cap and earn. You can also get it even into a single tougher enemy. Nothing wrong with savage sweep if you prefer it.

[@Sexploitsful]

Lethal Proximity does boost *all* explosion radii, Shredders included. So that's certainly something.

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

It boosts shredders? That's insane but hilarious.

[@AQS521]

This is pretty similar to my commissar build. Man, i really hope they add pistol sword dual wielding some day.

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

ME TOO

[@CHESTNUT246]

i just want basic melee pistol dual wielding so i can bring another primary

[@BigSamDaOgryn]

Swear I’m running this exact build, except I run field improv and dueling sword and laspistol. But man it’s fun! Nice build.

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

Laspistol and DS are goated and excellent picks for a commissar. Based aesthetics.

[@thatprofessorguy8316]

Is that you Commissar Cain HERO OF THE IMPERIUM?

[@shoulderpyro]

and here I am running around as a Death Korps squad leader, supporting the team, ample of grenades and using a power sword + lucius mk2 combo c: It might not be specifically tailored to anything, but by the Emperor if I'm on your team you are NOT dying until I say so!

[@supdude4292]

i dropped onslaught and the connecting node and subbed for the 25% more ammo which allows me to be more liberal with my bolt pistol usage

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

Reasonable

[@infrared6973]

I go weapon specialist with the bolt pistol and chain sword. My tag build always has a shovel and bolter or a plasma gun. Trench fighter is a must imo for the chain sword.

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

Same. Except for shovel, I use Mk4 without trench fighter.

[@infrared6973]

@@Reginald-sc9tk i like staggering a boss then stacking skullcrusher with shovel then blasting them away with my primary weapon after tagging them. Also everytime i stack skullcrusher and chunk a bosses health i cant help but laugh cuz It looks so absurd. Its even more hilarious with a concentration stim.

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

@@infrared6973 Shovels are nutty. its true.

[@Goofiestbloke]

This my build dawg

[@Garbones]

Was searching for commissar builds at gameslantern when I saw your two commissar builds, I knew I just needed to wait a day or two to see them lol Nice ones! How viable do you think sapper shovel and plasma gun can be on harder difficulties?

[@Khandones]

Both weapons are very viable on higher difficulties.

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

What khan said

[@Hrrrrrrrrrreng]

Only thing I’d change is the add to mag on melee just past weapon specialist. It feels great bc you always have that one crit in a mag to continue chaining weapon specialist. The revolvers can get two (33% at 10 stacks) and the bolt pistol three. Since it rounds up not down. And a third of your mag for 10 pox walker kills? That’s a deal to me. If you switch in the middle of a horde you’ll have a full mag before you know it.

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

I mention that talent. Its certainly a nice to have.

[@dkelrk1]

Seeing a lot of comments about having similar get up. Of course. Commisars all come from the same school don't they?

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

Yes literally. The schola progenium.

[@niksoncutts]

Doesn't the Mk13 Chainsword really need the Trench Fighter drill to help it clear mobs out? I always have problems with it compared to the MK4 on builds that don't take Trench Fighter, I think due to the light attacks not coming out fast enough vs the heavy sweeps on the MK4.

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

Yes. It does. In fact I'm talking about that in my next build guide funny enough.

[@niksoncutts]

@@Reginald-sc9tk Oh that's awesome! Yeah without that 10% attack speed I always feel like I'm getting pressured by mobs and pushed back, but with it gg ez, mobs SLAPPED

[@erickraft8698]

Onslaught really isn't going to add much to the build. You can only apply a max of 8 stacks with the bolt pistol and after 8 shots with puncture a crusher is going to be long dead anyway. It's really better for IAGs or recon lasguns, something that applies max stacks very quickly with low damage and low penetration. Unless you're planning to run up and M1 carapace enemies with the chainsword to apply brittleness before shredder-ing them you'd get a lot more mileage out of fully loaded and superiority complex imo. Superiority complex is going to add a similar amount of carapace damage and also affect a lot more enemies than brittleness.

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

You may well be right, though I find the brittleness effects are not insignificant when spamming into hordes. Perhaps it will require a deeper dive to determine its general effectiveness over other options some time. The slow season is coming.

[@erickraft8698]

@@Reginald-sc9tk you really only get the full value of brittleness against armors that you can't penetrate which is pretty much only carapace. Flak armor in darktide is pretty much a joke that could be pened with your fist. Once you're stacking brittleness on enemies whose armor that you can penetrate your added damage is reduced by 75% or something like that. That being said if that bit of damage is enough for you to hit comfy break points on trash that's a good enough reason to run it.

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

@@erickraft8698 That's exactly it. I can't say I'm sure it does hit nicer breakpoints in this case but that was the intent of selecting it. I forget if brittleness still effects bleed stacks too, or did they change that?

[@erickraft8698]

@@Reginald-sc9tk it should. Afaik it affects all DOTs.

[@Adalore]

I am normally very good about ammo, I at least have the ammo perk on for my revolver though, that lead into the reload is so long, esp because I am running quickdraw and crit rend, I paid for that 20% crit after melee kill, I get to spend it.

[@thelightwithin7121]

Can you use Heavy Sword MK Vll with this build? I'm new to Darktide

[@mharris8585]

Heavy Sword MK Vll would pair well with this build. The heavy swords do great with everything up to flak armor and the bolt pistol will make up for its shortcomings with carapace armor.

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

For sure. Dueling sword would go well too

[@BlueEyesWhiteViera]

@@Reginald-sc9tk Most targets die in 1-3 hits, you're only applying 7.5% brittleness at best. You'd be better off with the 10% rending talent and even that won't change breakpoints or TTK on any targets.

[@Reginald-sc9tk]

@@BlueEyesWhiteViera I'd have to spend some time testing it - but it should have some value on monstrosities with bleed and all that, should it not? Certainly it may not be the right talent and you may well be right in this case.

[@harassingactsofviolence119]

Bolt pistol's Lethal Proximity increases grenade AOE by 25%, along with Grenade Tinkerer's 25%, while Execution's 20% bonus damage to staggered enemies applies to bleeds during grenade stagger. (So does 25% rending from Opportunist on chainaxes and various blunt weapons.) There's a bunch of other interesting interactions with bleeds and rending effects. Can any of this take enemies over a 1-grenade breakpoint so you don't need to throw 2? Not really, but shredder damage isn't about breakpoints. Think about how much ammo and weapon swings 1 free grenade per minute saves. V a l u e! So I'd argue that with a melee weapon that's amazing on its own (new spam chainsword) and a weapon that doesn't scale great with talents (bolt pistol is still a pistol no matter the investment) it's sane and viable to use the bolt pistol as a sprint stick and buff baton for a full-on grenadier. I'd personally go as far as dropping Scavenger ammo aura (which gimps the thematic aspect) to go through the center 5% damage aura and maybe even dropping Weakspot damage (heresy!) to grab 20% double nades, 5% nade on elite kill, and (critically) Agile Engagement's 25% damage boost and +10% melee damage before it. Serrated blades if you've got a high cleave weapon. Bolt pistol has made grenadier vet the strongest he's been.

[@Poppenheimer69]

А почему? Не сочти за подкоп, просто хочу знать, чисто для себя. Альтернативный билд, или супер глубокие объяснения не нужны. В этой игре просто столько спрятанных чисел, механик и косяков, что порой даже нормально выглядящие билды на самом деле не работают. Автор видео с 5000 часов в Дарктайде вывезет с любым билдом, так что интересует критика, т.к. сам я особо не соображаю.
