[@wolfrexo9966]

Is there a better gun I can use cuz the recoil is terrible on my one

[@wolfrexo9966]

@BriggsoYT help please

[@D1gglesby]

Hey, Crit Damage actually isn't a great perk because the +10% isn't calculated on the total crit damage, but instead the damage that is added over the normal damage (i.e. if a normal strike does 50 damage and a crit does 100, +10% crit damage would do 105 damage instead of the 110 you might expect otherwise). I haven't tested it with breakpoints so I want to bring this up as some alternatives might be good like +Flak, +Unarmoured, or even +Infested depending on what the chainsword is killing the most often.

[@BriggsoYT]

This is extremely useful to know, thank you! Everyday is a school day!

[@TheQcjoe47]

In doubt take flak/maniac or maniac/weak spot or even critical chance

[@Babidi111]

- What useful info, the Big E would be proud!

[@ShadeScarecrow]

What? Why tf did they program it like that. When I read "crit damage" i expect the base value of the crit to be increased. Thanks for sharing this info.

[@MourningZenith]

I'm really loving these build breakdowns. Also, just wanted to give a callout to your video structure; the pivot from build overview to gameplay footage just flows nicely and the out you give people who were just looking for the build details is cool. You seem like genuinely good guy, please keep it up!

[@BriggsoYT]

Thanks for the kind words, it's really appreciated. I will Deffo be sticking with this format for the foreseeable

[@wolfrexo9966]

Does this still work with the new update

[@wolfrexo9966]

@@BriggsoYTis there a way to make the recoil any better cuz my keeps going up when I fire and it really annoy as hell please help

[@fuzzwobble]

Tanner Lindberg blocked me from his channel comments for saying that 'Ghost is underrated as you can reliably proc complete immunity from ranged mobs'. It was relevant as it was a video where he was saying ranged mobs were hyper dangerous in packs. Screeched like a harpy that I "Don't have any solo auric maelstrom videos uploaded of me using it" and that I needed to upload them as evidence before I was allowed to give an opinion, spammed four messages praising himself like a twat while I was still offline, then blocked me. He will actively block any conversations even discussing off-meta ideas or theorycrafting in games, so you can't rely on his concepts being truly put through the fire. He just steals builds and information off the net and makes videos pretending they're his unique insights while trash talking the community. All this for a Single Player+ game too; it's not like you're fighting other people, for the Emperor's sake. Guy is a nutjob.

[@skipperg4436]

Who?

[@MJHKing1]

I genuinely think he's got a neurological disability. His behaviour is unhinged

[@dannykuang9433]

Personally prefer the MK VI power sword over any other melee weapon, doesn't get stuck with special revs like chain weapons, way better cleave when powered up, and a lot more versatility and movement in melee. That and it's push poke in head, swing 2x combo while powered up insta kills any ogryn, mutant, or rager/mauler you name it outside of a monstrocity. That being said, I run my power sword with the columnus v as well but am a 2x stealth build.

[@lupuscruorem608]

Im a powersword guy too but honestly cant say if its not just an aesthetic thing hah

[@dannykuang9433]

@@lupuscruorem608 it is one if the better looking weapons and honestly it’s ridiculously strong it’s sorta crazy to not just use it on the veteran because of its immense impact on both horde clear and elite/specials as well.

[@StCost]

i specifically shooce chainaxe to rend all the enemies, it feels nice to wreck them. dodge gets you unstuck anyway

[@Misterscout]

Psyker autogun build is nuts too. You melt everything.

[@ESO-ONE]

You ain't wrong this build melts

[@LukeGlitch]

Really loving your videos man and classic music in the background is so good haha keep it up ❤

[@civildude100]

Big thank you for this video! I am just getting back into darktide again and gave this build a shot. It's brilliant and I love just mowing my way through armored guys with the auto-gun

[@paulberry5750]

Thank you, I'm dying a lot with my current Vet. This build will help a bunch!

[@Yurikan]

I tried this build out over my stealth build since I love using the catachan sword and auto gun. Funny enough I have not had to use the krak grenade at all in the build since it handles the elites so well. Unfortunately, I our other two grenade options don't really do much in this build. The stealth build I use mostly for the sniper missions where you got to make it down a death corridor.

[@TheQcjoe47]

For your knowledge, close damage is under 25m and far is over 25m

[@aamacan]

Interesting how you didnt pick the earn 1% for killing a specialist aura since i would've assumed that you would as kuch ammo as you can get, especially since this a very dakaka build. Ill definitely give this a try!

[@Exclusiive_9]

Agreed. This build is only useful if there is another vet on the team running ammo regen. Without it this build will eat up all the ammo on the map and teammates will be left with nothing.

[@BriggsoYT]

I honestly would go for survivalist if I could fit it in. I did try a couple of games using it, and it was a harsh cut. If you wanna go less melee orientated, you can drop Always Prepared and get survuvalist. I personally just loved being able to have best of both worlds of a melee swinger and 'dakaka' build 😋

[@Exclusiive_9]

You can easily do that with a plasma gun build. That's the one nice about the plasma... It opens up so many other possibilities for the vet as a strong melee with more survivability.

[@sebleonard8273]

Be more accurate

[@CommanderTavos99]

Nothing beats the shovel for me! =D

[@gregs7562]

That first build is great. Not long into the game & love that Autogun, prefer them to Las. Good explanation of a skill tree & i wasnt aware wrapons perks made so much difference

[@SilverWF]

No close order drill? No Confirmed kill? How do u regen? Just with shout and coherency regen?

[@BriggsoYT]

I find that shout is all i need personally. But feel free to tweak as you see fit!

[@CasualTS]

Oh no you mentioned Tanner. RIP comment section...

[@EcclesiarchNevsky]

just made my veteran lvl 30 yesterday and this is literaly my build XDDD thanks for the vid, now i dont need to reskill

[@bubuluslustikus5557]

close damage: in german its "nahkampf schaden" which would only be melee damage.

[@ImJubei]

Nice Guide man , Great Explanation and Overview

[@HUNKISDOMPER]

Very useful video! Thank you i have been suffering in high leveled mission but with this i won't

[@FatSultan]

MkV is a beast because of its weak spot damage, if you make a build stacking weak spot/crit it can clear 20 lined-up gunners/berzerkers in a mag. Which is just fucking ridiculous. Also, MkV-s best friend is the new combat blade with lac4+uncanny4 on the right tree Rambo build.

[@matthew2764]

Do you have a mod list posted somewhere? I really like how you can see the health bars

[@FlokiDargo]

run a simular build but on the recon lasgun. (final perk right side changed with crits on las weapons no use ammo) so much fun.

[@WTFAnyNameWorks]

Awesome video, thank youu !!

[@GothicMew]

Is it a setting for the extra stats during gameplay or a mod?

[@Vitox-mf6yn]

Hey i´m new to darktide so thanks for this build. Also do i have too turn on any seting to see the enemys hp

[@turnabol]

Amazing content as usual, thank you @BriggsoYT 🙏

[@_________....]

Are the infos about the damage you deal, the enemy healthbar and the amount of max ammo you can carry mods or can you activate those in game?

[@alexanderhikel2350]

Can you do a veteran build that utilizes the recon lazgun I’m so lost on building it thanks!

[@millenia111]

Is there really any reason not to use the power sword with power cycle? I also removed "always prepared" and put in "close order drill" which is almost a must

[@BriggsoYT]

No reason to not use a powersword with power cycler, its a fantastic choice. Another good choice too, i tried to make this build similar to the swingers veteran build and always prepared was a good option to have more up time on the melee weapons specialist stack. 100% understandable if you drop it for other talents. at the end of the day its whatever suits you 😄

[@xGrifDog96x]

Honest question, why do so many Veterans refuse to get the revive perk for the shout ability. Its so good

[@har7649]

It’s the 50% cooldown increase that ruins the ability. Most Vets understand that VOC is a free get out of near death card. So what happens if said Vet is able to get their cooldown so low, they have a semi-permanent ability that will make them and sometimes their team immortal. It’s been 2 weeks but I hope this answers your question.

[@die_glocken]

Here is a like and subscription from your local veteran main!

[@mrchips7622]

I'm using this on ps5 many thanks still viable ❤

[@georgeh7156]

Out of the three blessing, which two do you most recommend? Managed to get a lucky roll of fire frenzy and deathspitter which should i replace with dumdum?

[@laurynas8569]

Fire frenzy

[@Fatpuppet2000]

Looks good but ammos must be a problem without another vet's aura, no?

[@BriggsoYT]

Some missions that don't decide to give you much ammo can be rough, but I always try to save a mag or 2 so you can activate (melee) weapons specialist.

[@giovannigiorgio231]

So long as you have a columnus and onslaught the rest is all optional really... I generally spec on melee and get onslaught for the columnus after

[@blitz2659]

How do you get the health bars above the enemies?

[@Lexanator512]

I have recently reinstalled Darktide for the first time since launch and just wanted to know if it is possible to still get the Ushanka style headgear you have on your Veteran in this video?

[@InternetSupervillain]

GOD DAMNIT! I would've had the most insane columnus god roll...but i have sustained fire instead of fire frenzy or death spitter....how much does sustained fire suck 😭

[@MatrixOfDoom]

could you do a cadian las gun build

[@skipperg4436]

Hm, I see why this build is meta. Like and subscribe 👍 However I just love headshoting mobs from distance too much. And for autogun it is an impractical gameplay. If only I could have both frag and krack grenades equipped... Because lasgun makes me weak against hordes and almost useless against maulers. Not a problem when playing with a friend/s who are optimized against these threats (with me wiping out everything else) but sometimes it is a problem with random group.

[@DrakenhofTemplars]

Great now my go to gun is gonna get canned 😂😂

[@shadowbringer24]

how did you make all the enemies start attacking you in the psykhanium?

[@MegaLoveDoctor]

still meta?

[@JayRosa-h9v]

Uhh…. Why would you pick a High Rate of Fire weapon AND NOT GET THE SUPPRESSION ABILITY AND the perk called “TERRIFYING BARRAGE” which SUPPRESSES ENEMIES WITHIN A 5 METER RADIUS FOR A CLOSE RANGE KILL!!!??? You can stop an ENTIRE HORDE in its tracks with a single kill……😂

[@laurynas8569]

Just melee or shout?

[@n4k3d51]

healthbars on horde are you serious? ps. plasma is still King

[@BriggsoYT]

All opinions and options are valid. Its whatever suits you and your playstyle.

[@HarlanWescott81]

I really don't understand the heath bar mod. Kind of makes targeting easier. Bit of a cheat. Its also in the way of silhouettes of special targets sometimes... so... Idk. personal preference I guess?... Fuck... where was I...? CONAN O' BRIEN 2024!!!!

[@stinkRstuffR]

Tanner Loserberg steals ideas from other content creators/players and calls it his own. I'm surprised you credit him tbh.

[@TannerLindberg]

i literally do not watch other creators. other than true solo and duoists. you left a comment on my tier list video saying this same thing? how is it even possible to "steal every opinion about every weapon" as you put it? also have you considered that when everyone who plays at a true solo/duo level is saying the same thing maybe its just factually correct and not copying? Also looking at my comments you claimed i have stolen from you specifically? Dude you need to drop this schizo obsession with me. if someone says my name in a video you're on it if i upload a video you're on it claiming i took the idea from you specifically. you genuinely sound like you are very mentally ill.
