Veteran Sharpshooter + Damnation Highest Difficulty w/ Casual Squad｜Darktide

Veteran Sharpshooter (Lv.30) Kantrael MG XII Infantry Lasgun / Catachan Mk III Combat Blade Gameplay｜Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
Difficulty: Damnation
Build: 1-1-1-3-2-1
Map: Magistrati Oubliette TM8-707
Hello! I tried Damnation for the first time because I happened to have a full squad to play with.
First of all I would like to thank my friends for accompanying me on my first try, Copen and Krag for their great hate control and crowd control, Poha for her handling of the bigger enemies and continuous crowd control. It allowed me to focus on my shooting.
I find Damnation very interesting. If you are at a certain level and have the right weapons, you should give it a try. But it may take time and experience of the whole community to be able to play in quick play. I am looking forward to that time. I have also recently started using the Kantrael MG XII Infantry Lasgun, which is a bit overwhelming. It is easier to handle than a bolt gun and has no drawbacks.

quick tip for you all: you can remove visual recoil of guns in options under - interface -> camera sway intensity. helps a lot with hitting heretics more consistently

Im glad to know that players good enough to tackle damnation in pugs also dodge off a ledge and wind up hanging there like a fool lol maybe theres hope for me too

this was my first damnation as well! thanks for carry :~)

[@miqotelover]

You did great! :D

[@JasielMartini]

As far as I can tell, an Ogryn with the shield and club, a psycher with the shock staff, and a Vet to deal with ranged units is one of the best set ups for Damnation. I've seen other set ups clear it before, but not as easily. The 4th slot is flexible. Also, the day they implement friendly fire vet mains are gonna be mad AF lol given how often people love to dodge right into the vet line of fire. If the vets don't kill ranged units tho, everyone dies because of just how strong shooters are in this game.

[@cravalon]

I wont mind if you stand in front of me when I'm using a flamer if that happens. Who stands between me and heretics shall be purged.

[@ates423]

Agreed, me and a bunch of friends went 18/18 on damnation even knocking out all of our hardest penances. Such as letting the psyker do 90% damage to a daemonhost, a ogryn charge a large group or getting 100% accuracy on veteran

@@loganmcdougall8647 Yea they really can have an answer for everything with ridiculous ranged AND melee options.

Just let me crouch’n’shoot in front of you and the rest of you scrags can whack away.

[@Morveyn]

The Type XII Kantreal really is the sharpshooter's best friend. Steady, accurate damage with some of the best ammo economy of the lot, especially compared to what the Lucius variants can even try to do with similar battery usage.

[@thomasstewart1380]

Absolutely. It's just reliable and consistent DPS with no gimmick. The Lucius have great damage per shot on a full charge, but by the time it charges and fires, you could fire two, or even 3 depending on the roll, shots from a Type XII and be doing more overall damage. The only downside to Lasguns is no damage to Carapace armor, but if you have a Psyker or a Zealot, it won't hold you back. Personal favorite though are the Recon Lasguns. So easy to use, so fun, and stellar horde clear.

1:35 Where in the blue hell do you all know that from?.. Like, wouldn't a normal guardsman be at least disgusted or confused to learn that his beloved Emperor is a weird psychic entity that must feed on souls to prolong its existence?

[@loafofbread9400]

Psyker was part of witch hunts, they are part of the inquisition

[@thisidforsjit]

Maybe that info is a 'perk' of being in the service of an Inquisitor. Maybe that lack of disgust is why they were selected for Inquisitorial service in the first place

[@Sangheilitat117]

@@thisidforsjit All of the player characters are “recruited” from a freak accident during a prison transfer, so that can’t be it.

[@thisidforsjit]

@@Sangheilitat117 i see what you mean, and while that is how all thr characters start, you can kind of assume some time passes in the background from a narrative perspective between missions. If that makes sense.

his body is probably in survival mode now i doubt its a willful decision, also doubt he would approve plus he is a perpetual, his spirit is totally intact if they just pull the plug he would eventually just manifest again instead they shackle him with thos sacrifices at least this is my favourite theory magic by its nature is the knowledge of the supernatural, knowledge alone is evil ( tzeentch ), and the big4 ( or 5 ) is the amnifestation of sins and all supernatural acts comes from the warp, in conclusion, magic is for upsetting the natural order of things, like brainburst someone while looking at him angry ( there is nother theory about the warp good guys and how the eldaary warp use is so much different that of human ) 40k lore is infinite anything you ask is pretty much a rabbit hole again if you want answers watch luetin09

It seems that for higher difficulty, friendly fire at the ogryn's expense will be a constant problem.

[@TewbBelrog]

Friendly fire doesn't exist, even if the voicelines imply otherwise

@@TewbBelrog Yea it's just an 'aim better' alert.

[@ae7992]

[@OneSek1]

You should give a try to the Graia Mk 8 autogun and/or the vlaks mk 3 headhunter, I think they have as much potential as the lasgun you're using, if not better !

[@hadoken95]

I've found the problem with autoguns is either the spread pattern or the recoil. Lasguns are just so damn accurate. And neither can penetrate carapace so they're matched on armor effectiveness in the end.

[@OneSek1]

@@hadoken95 I think it's manageable. The graia you can manually burst fire (2-3 shots) at long range or full at close. Which is more efficient than the lasgun imo. Also the vlaks is by default a Rafal gun, so not so hard to manage either. I play both in heresy and find them better than the lasgun. With lasgun, if you miss a shot, it means lot of DPS loss. With autogun you can miss a bullet and adjust if necessary. Combined with crit talent 25, the DPS is way better than the lasgun. I also use the 10 talent reload speed because both have low clip size. The version of the guns I mentioned are important also, the alternative are not as effective.

[@dominicaustin6016]

does the dagger give speed buff or something? p.s great vid!

[@K_Balu]

Basicly heavy attack have a slight speed bonus in a form of charging

[@allisvain123]

M8 with your skill level you dont really need a wound curio. But I understand if you use it for grimoires.

[@kronosDking]

Description might be wrong. Pretty sure this is the MG La, not MG XII.

[@hydro4348]

Nope, this is definitely the XII, the fire rate and tan color are a dead giveaway

Hello, nice vid. Why are you using combat knife?

[@dantheinvincible]

Its got good dodge range and mobility

[@markus6210]

I haven’t played Darktide yet and from all I’ve seen I’m gonna wait for a free weekend, it looks really, I don’t wanna say bad, but it’s the only word that comes to mind, compared to V2 it looks like a step back.

[@Deleteyourself83]

I'm about 40/50 hours in, and it is a step backwards in a number of ways. I'm enjoying it but I'm also very concerned, they've made some really strange design choices, they've actually introduced problems that would be sovled by just doing it the way it's done in vt2

[@markus6210]

@@Deleteyourself83 I see, I think I’d enjoy it too, just because of the setting, but then I might as well play any other 40k game. The two things I’m really concerned about ist melee, which, at least from the footage I’ve seen, looks really unnecessary. As if they swapped the amount of melee and ranged combat from V2 which I’m absolutely no fan of. And the second thing is no modding, if Core and his friends beat the highest difficulty in the beta, while underleveled and with random gear and Choco does it with a group of casual players I’m really concerned about replayability.

[@Deleteyourself83]

@@markus6210I'd say in v2 it was say 3/4 melee to ranged, maybe 5/6, and Darktide is 50/50 at a min. It's like shoot everything until you get a horde and if you have a front liner you could probably shoot the horde down too if you wanted to. I can't comment on the difficulty yet as I'm still levelling characters, but i'm also concerned about replay-ability. Maps are already becoming stale, running backwards and forwards through the same map does not make a new map. No modding, no sharing weapons or charms between characters, which really sucks as most weapons are universal with a few char specific ones. Radial menu for comms sucks, no crafting, weird sprint mechanic that shares stamina with block... The hub is just one room, with 4/5 vendors. Nothing like the V2 hub, basically just a bigger version of the red moon inn in V1. Strange thing to complain about maybe but I dunno, kinda miss the charm. Anyway, fingers crossed that it will be as good as the vermintide games

[@forsensmotd6795]

[@IIBandosII]

How are you getting such a miniscule amount of mobs? I get more mobs on malice playthroughs than you got in this video... Even when you did get a bit of a clump of mobs it still wasn't anywhere near the amount I get torn apart by on damnation.

[@daniloribeiro5372]

noice

[@Dragoncro0wn]

I am running the Lasgun with these talents: 1-3-1-1-3-2 This will tag all range mobs, will give you almost pernament Volley Fire, make you immune to range damage. Way better build for the Lasgun imo. And silce lasgun is useless against carapace i have the unlimited granades to stagges ogres and monstrosities to help allies and myself.

[@shadowcorp7169]

Curios?

[@pho7020]

does the crit chance + stability talent still work when you run out of stamina ? i feel like if it doesn’t work if you have no stamina it’s quite bad (imo)

[@Redx130000]

I was wondering that as well. Considering it still siphons stamina I would imagine it works.

[@zihkar]

Regardless if it does or doesn't it is a very weapon specific talent. The Revolver for example shines greatly due to the crit bonuses it already receives from its base stats. Mix that with two +2 stam curios for added duration and you can do a lot of damage while also have a great mobility side arm. Limited ammo and slow reloads being the only major drawbacks.

[@electricboogeyman5855]

I think it does. It just uses up stam and punishes you if you're suddenly I'm melee and can't block. But yea, if it did, it'd be ass.

[@Morveyn]

The stability and crit chance stop working once your stamina runs out, yes. Once your stam's gone, you're back to your normal firing pattern. The trait's meant to reward bursts of fire rather than just nonstop shooting, but even with the limitations, it's a damned good choice for the Type XII. Paired with the "stamina on ranged dodge" talent at 20, you can duel enemy shooters for a damned long time and come out on top.

How do you have 230 toughness

[@fredericbrasseur7399]

Vet have a base 200 toughness, which means a curio that grants 15% should grant you 30 extra toughness (for some reason it only grants 29).
