[@MobbBeast]

So you're saying the only way to unlock gun resources is randomly? Or maybe when I kill a boss? If so that's stupid AF

[@thevillainvin]

The fact that all the colors are named after citadel paints is a nice touch.

[@motmaramba108]

I need my nuln oil

[@stewpidaso1024]

Just got it! It's glorious!

[@dalle5840]

That part is geeking at the right level, but the unlocks... omg.. actually, the second age of the fifth chapter blue is a sub chapter orange..... SHUTUP! I want some red to go with the black because it would look cool OK?!

[@tombrand236]

Agreed - although some colours don’t look at all like they do in real life. And why is nuln oil a colour when it’s a shade, when no other shades (as far as I’ve seen anyway)?

[@km55111]

that weapon unlock and mastery points trick is wild. i would have never discovered that tbh. Ive been trying to level up guns for so long but noticed i stopped getting points and was wondering what i was doing wrong- THANKS

[@devoid820]

Thank you mister sparty man. Trials were the absolute best way for me to earn quick requisition. Load into operations, quit out the matchmaker. Go to the armory hall and spend about 30 minutes getting at least silver on all your trials. Easy 300+ requisition

[@KungFu_JamaisVu]

This would be helpful if I was able to play two games in a row with others before I am banished to "joining server" purgatory

[@italianspartacus]

Yeah the servers come. Down to day and I'm. Hoping there's some pre launch stability load out, but the reception has been massive and it's not even launch. All games have this shit at launch unfortunately

[@orwhynotrandom]

​@italianspartacus at least the campaign is playable off-line so we aren't fully deprived off the game

[@OftenYesMan]

Wonder how it's going ti go when the flood gates open up

[@SabreKen]

I found that switching crossplay off really helped with the purgatory

[@easymodegaming7334]

I switched off crossplay. It def helped. But only getting stuck in an alternate version of the base where nothing is intractable and you can’t do anything other than walking.

[@acousticnoisemachine]

I love that you can tell a lot about how much a player interacts with the setting based on the little armor touches. Yellow markings on Blood Angels assaults... Red and black to stand them out as Sword Brethren. You see those minor details and are like "This person definitely 40ks".

[@ShawnTyrese]

100% also get that feeling, once played with an Ultramarines player who sported a green trim which I greatly respected

[@andrewfornes5320]

I saw someone in armor colors that looked exactly like the "Space Kings" Flashgitz youtube cartoon. I lost it haha

[@AgentHurt]

informative, to the point, and more helpful than i ever expected. i was missing more than half of the post-pve story functionality before i watched this

[@TopherChris2]

2 days ago I had no idea who a space marine was today I fell asleep in blue power armor

[@illumin4t152]

for a really fast leveling and unlocking, take the second mission in operations. you can speed run this mission really fast, just run and dodge your way the whole way through, you dont have to really fight anything. expect the boss

[@landonsquires4207]

I have noticed that the second mission is the easiest/fastest of the bunch. The difficulty and time invested is definitely not equal across the missions.

[@HArryvajonas]

​. New to the game and the first two missions were moderately challenging. Loaded up the third mission on the lowest difficulty, and nothing about it was remotely balanced or fun.

[@illumin4t152]

@@HArryvajonas the missions with the thousand sons have to be rebalanced, everyone says that. chaos marines missions are a nightmare since they dont compare to the tyrandis missions

[@thorinhannahs4614]

Chaos missions are just really boring while every tyranid operation I've enjoyed myself. It's probably because Chaos is just not fun to fight.

THANK YOU! The number of victories left to unlock armors was driving me insane, I didn't know it was how many I had left and that it wasn't bugged out. May the Omnissiah bless your channel!

[@novastorm980]

Thank you probably the only KZbinr that has explained this so thoroughly and so that it's easy to understand

[@slappywag7210]

That armor in the thumbnail is awesome. The best part is I know there’s more awesomeness to come.

[@timbob1145]

Very well explained on the buying the weapons to get the mastery points part, cheers dude. You are defo gonna be my go to sm2 guy.

[@cable6169]

Thanks so much for this. This is so helpful. It’s crazy how unclear things are in game.

[@exeverrr]

I havent been this hooked on a game since Cyberpunk and its expansion in January or February. Just finished campaign yesterday and started grinding some coop.

[@cyberleaderandy1]

They really dont explain this stuff anywhere in game, the same with Darktide and now that game is getting a huge weapons upgrades change that'll make it incomprehensible again. Thanjs for thus explanation, it helps a lot 😊

[@timbob1145]

Yes its convoluted, but I think it's a stroke of genius to do it this way, it means if you want to unlock a colour or something you have to access some information about the relevance of that colour within the 40k universe, nice little touch. I have to give massive praise to the devs for really going for it on the customisation side. They've utterly smashed it.

[@wizzolo]

the system is a bit convoluted but your guide will be helpful tomorrow :D I wish they used 2 different currencies for cosmetic unlocks, and upgrade unlocks, to give freedom to customize looks without hampering power progression.

[@DEATHWISH65]

Bro I’m loving the customization it gives so much for so little and the growth they could get from that alone could be huge we love to make a character that feels special and something of are own main reason you will still catch me on darktide😂

[@bearlaw6807]

You know a good vid would be a deep dive into what weapons are still out there that could be added to SMII which would fit into the current classes.

[@Bullrunnerrr]

I finally found someone that explained it all clearly. Thanks mate.

[@Arasaka]

Thanks for de-mystifying the Mastery point system! Now just have to get people to stop charging through the map and skipping the armoury servitor.

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Darktide has the same problem. Very often those sorts of gamers get kicked out of the game in a vote.

[@MrYupic]

I've spent the same amount of time watching your vids as purgeing the heritic 😂 just started getting into operations after the campaign. It took me 10 hours with breaks and honestly basking in the beauty of the carnage

[@kylejustice1788]

Great video. Didn't understand what mastering weapons actually did until now. Gets you a mastery point! Was also wondering how to get mastery points so got two birds stoned at once thanks to you!

[@blancochileno]

Thank you! I was going nuts with navigating this

[@meejmuas8686]

Go to the armory then click the "versions" tab for that weapon. Hover over each version and it will show Mastery 0/1800 etc. This is the progress for each version. As you max out each version, you will get a mastery point. For thunder hammer, it has 1 standard version = 1 mastery point 3 master crafted versions = 3 mastery points 4 artificer = 4 mastery points 3 relic = 3 mastery points Thunder hammer has 11 possible mastery points If you dont want to use a version and max it out in games, hover over it and left click (PC). You will use up an Armory Upgrade point (green, purple, gold) to max it out immediately and not have to level it up in games. For example, I would dread having to use block weapons for a perfect parry Assault build. I will max that one immediately. So, it pays to collect multiple armory upgrade points. In summary, to get all perk points you have to unlock master crafted, artificer and relic weapons by using that weapon in games then using armory upgrade points for the unlocks. Then you have to max out each version of that weapon. You can skip having to max out each version by hovering over that version then spending an armory point to do that

[@Callepunk0]

I was missing out on so many perks! Thanks for this video!

[@iBeTruckin]

Love your upfront style! Keep up the great work

[@PapaFenn]

Another note about weapon perks, they do not affect other weapons, for example, the bolt pistol perk where if you gun strike it reloads the equipped weapon. It only reloads your pistol, tried it for the melta and nothing happened but it worked perfectly for the pistol

[@CupOfLibertea87]

Playing Bulwark is like playing on easy mode compared to all the other classes. It's awesome

[@thatonefurry0167]

ah now i know how to get the purple and yes i made my space marine custom before upgrading the weapons cuz it looks cool x3

[@NiKoLay988]

also change weapons as much as possible as the XP is not shared, each weapon will get the same amont at the end of the mission , its allows to level up more weapons per game

[@italianspartacus]

This is unfortunately untrue. You only get experience for the portions of the mission your weapon was in. So if you swap to a weapon at the very end, you only get like 10 experience

[@jeremyschoen9876]

Great videos ive watched a couple since diving into the 40k game. I didnt know you also played Diablo 4 will be subscribing and checking out new D4 expansion videos.

[@theophrastusbombastus1359]

Another great video, thank you Have you covered the trials themselves in-depth yet? A quick how-to guide would be golden and would prob get you a bunch of views from the less competitive players

[@italianspartacus]

I can do that! :)

[@asketillus8679]

Be wary that some of them are glitched. The third bulwark one will not finish all the way through for me no matter how many times I finish it with all 3 goals being finished

[@KingChambers]

I also believe you can make parts of emblems transparent as well

[@Oakeybloke]

I used all my requisition points on heraldry, including what you get from trials, then starting levelling up and went oh... 😮😂

[@JsmashTech]

Oh was watching your stream earlier what a coincidence

[@Vallaszin]

I tried to use the instigator rifle on Vanguard just to try it out, but at the end of the mission i got no experience for it. I took it into another one and the same thing. I'm still sitting at 0 for it. Very frustrating. Very helpful guide

[@Reptiile]

The fastest way to get req points for me was to simply PvP, spend your first week or few days using what class you want to unlock cosmetics for and try and get into lobbies with level 20’s and you can unlock all cosmetics for the class you want in few hours then when you’re done with the classes you want cosmetics for start doing the ops and you’ll already have all cosmetics unlocks and over 1k req points to spend on nothing but upgrades for you guy

[@DekkarJr]

"For examper... Examper?" hahaha man you're funny as hell I choked on my cherry 7 up cus of that I hate the leveling system for weapons in this game having come from games like Star Wars Battlefront 2 where I could just grind em out without needing to worry about the stupid items tbh I think it's a bit innaccessable and convoluted for most people - ive noticed the SM2 numbers have dipped down to about 12k average lately on steam soooo yeea idk we need more content :3

[@JohnnyUtah5446]

I'd like this video 40k times if I could. Thank you for your time!

[@seanmcbride434]

Keep these coming Sparty! 🤘

[@lightspam5897]

Multiple question (question 1 answer will answer question 2 and 3, If the former part of question 1 is "YES") 1) is the weapon data shared by teammates when completing mission or is it when you pick it up only you get it 2) Like if you pick a weapon data and killed a miniboss you get 2 and also your teammates or is it you get 2 and they get 1 from the miniboss only? 3) Does killing the Miniboss reward all members a data weapon or is it the player who lands the finishing blow (I hope its the former as it would be quite toxic ifs it the latter)

[@easymodegaming7334]

Yes

[@LordCommanderVex]

They are shared no matter what you do. If one member of the team got it, all got it

[@MrNightfoundered]

Another banger of a video. Is there a resource like a map that shows weapon data spawn locations? I can only find one every 3 or 4 maps

[@FelisImpurrator]

I spent a bunch on heraldry and thought "Screw it."

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Same here. Bow have a cool looking Space Wolf 😊

[@AwesomeLionSaurus]

The one thing I wish some content creator covered (preferably before the release) is that the DLC cosmetics actually require you to spend requisition points to unlock them. This was SOO disappointing to me. I spent 40 bucks for cosmetics and I can't have them because I don't have the req points for it. This was in no way stated clearly anywhere on the steam page and I wish some content creators would have mentioned it because then I wouldn't have bought the ultimate edition, and same for a few of my friends. The sad thing is that now none of us trust saber enough to actually ever buy a cosmetic DLC again (which I think is bad because it means they will make less money which means less future content for us probably).

[@wilfredwayne7139]

I hate when games do this.

[@Fyuken]

It’s okay bro, just playing the game for a bit gets you enough requisition points to start unlocking it. It’s a small inconvenience

[@unevenasp4633]

Thanks I was confused with how to earn the tier 3 currency because I haven't played substantial yet

[@SkollzFangs]

So do the victories to unlock the armor need to be in a row or in general?

[@italianspartacus]

In general! :)

[@srbill7722]

Are the armors released by making the victory number for a class or is it valid for everyone?

[@alBoomer19]

I unlocked just enough cosmetics to match my in game paint job to match my custom successor chapter on tabletop

[@SLG493]

Good vid thanks for the tips

[@Megamind-e9g]

Wish this was in campaign

[@johnstallone4807]

Could you post a guide showing "good" ways to play the class, as in visual of combat loop I feel like I'm playing them wrong, the little trials weren't enough, I especially feel substantial is rough and Ruthless...I had to speed run skipping all the armory data and stuff, I feel like I'm faking it level 25, it is not working, lol

[@italianspartacus]

Yup! :)

[@Sextistsheep]

Parry weapons helped me since it pushes back and staggers the horde, also a sprint/dodge then attack will open you up to a gun strike to recover armor. Tbh tho it’s hard af, I think bulwark or vanguard is a huge help with their ability to heal red health

[@spicypotato9745]

So, if we use a green data thing to master a weapon, do we get the xp for the weapon? Or does that now limit us to having to use the next tier data to get to say purple tier

[@Moistrazmataz]

Do you have to buy the other version of the weapon to get mastery points ?

[@toughnerdtoysgaming8870]

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH

[@EvolOne13]

I spent all my requisition on cosmetics too 😂

[@Obozo_Gaming]

Question. I like maining the Bulwark, if I solely play as Bulwark, can I unlock armor sets for the other classes? Or do I have to play as a specific class to unlock their armor sets?

[@zacharylaramee-ox7gb]

You have to play as those classes

[@neilobrien3791]

Very helpful just picked up a sub

[@schlobster3929]

The game is amazing however I do worry for its longevity, they need to get a steady stream of missions and enemy types rolling out otherwise the larger portion of players will drop off.

[@theyawningportal]

Does no one play Tier 3? I press quick play and i get one person maybe after 20 minutes on the barge. Im stuck in hell over here cause i cant complete a substantial mission by myself amd need a squad. Cant upgrade anymore without purple data

[@killangrathor31]

Great info. Thanks man! Now back to grinding for the emperor!

[@italianspartacus]

Glad I could help hahahah

[@theicon2125]

One thing I haven't been able to figure out yet, for the armor unlocks, are the victories with any class or just that one class and each class's pieces are separate? It reads as it's across the board but it seems like I only get pieces for the current one I'm playing.

[@getthegoons]

Just the current class

[@bigsad5851]

Question, are you limited by the amount of mastery points for weapons? Like for my heavy bolter, I can only get 11 mastery points from mastering all 11 weapons. So do I only get 11 points in total or can you earn them some other way?

[@italianspartacus]

Correct!

[@shuey17]

[@italianspartacus]

Unfortunately no

[@steveku4950]

When I unlocked green tier, do I have to unlock another variant to get enough xp to purple? My green tier power sword is maxed out and does not seem to gain xp on it anymore.

[@HauntingSpectre]

The mastery experience reaches a cap (so you can unlock the mastery) there is general experience in the middle left. It takes time to hit the next progression, long after you have mastered that tier.

[@tbow9848]

does operations weapons' correspond with pvp? so upgrading guns in operations makes them stronger in pvp aswell?

[@italianspartacus]

Nay! PURELY works for the armor cosmetic, that's it!

[@booberry6715]

I've been playing games like this for... well, since games like this have been a thing, and this might be the most convoluted, unintuitive system I've ever seen.

[@Dynasty1818]

Weapon perks and the points system makes NO SENSE as there are more perk choices than there are weapon variants. Take the bolt pistol - there's officially 8 variants to unlock and use and master, so 8 mastery points to use on perks. 8. But you can unlock 10+ perks based on the lines. So you can't take them all, as you ONLY HAVE ENOUGH POINTS to make it down ONE of the lines, so even with the joined lines you can't pick every perk you want. What a stupid system!

[@booberry6715]

[@deetsitmeisterjd]

Absolutely garbage that some weapons have more perks points than others, just because there's more variants, honestly they could have just given every weapon 12 that you got at set intervals along the track. If you start on one line of the perk tree and move up because the next talent doesn't benefit your playstyle, you can't even reach the end with some weapons... It's almost as if they didn't test any of this on Difficulty 3/4 and we are in a Helldivers 2 situation. (Incoming nerf to a weapon nobody asked for)
