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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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 😋
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.
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
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.
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.
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……😂
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
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 😄
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 😭
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.
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.
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?
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.
Mate are you the first person in the world to run that particular build? If not then it's not 'your' build, what's with this build owning drama like it's your intellectual property @@stinkRstuffR
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!!!!

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

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

just made my veteran lvl 30 yesterday and this is literaly my build XDDD
thanks for the vid, now i dont need to reskill
For your knowledge, close damage is under 25m and far is over 25m
Very useful video! Thank you i have been suffering in high leveled mission but with this i won't
No close order drill? No Confirmed kill? How do u regen? Just with shout and coherency regen?
I find that shout is all i need personally. But feel free to tweak as you see fit!
Oh no you mentioned Tanner. RIP comment section...
Nice Guide man , Great Explanation and Overview

Do you have a mod list posted somewhere? I really like how you can see the health bars
close damage: in german its "nahkampf schaden" which would only be melee damage.

I genuinely think he's got a neurological disability. His behaviour is unhinged
Can you do a veteran build that utilizes the recon lazgun I’m so lost on building it thanks!
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
great build thanks
No worries! Can't take all the credit as I had a lot of inspiration. Hope it serves you well!
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.
Awesome video, thank youu !!
I like the music
Is this still valid 5 months later?
I would say yes, it's by far my favorite

Just melee or shout?
Is it a setting for the extra stats during gameplay or a mod?
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?
How do you make the enemies attack in the meat grinder?
Here is a like and subscription from your local veteran main!
Amazing content as usual, thank you @BriggsoYT 🙏
Damn how do you get the black skin on the chainsword? Great build though!
I think you get it for buying the imperial edition, if not then i dont know 😅 Thank you!

Looks good but ammos must be a problem without another vet's aura, no?
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.
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
How do you get the health bars above the enemies?
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.

Fire frenzy
could you do a cadian las gun build
Great now my go to gun is gonna get canned 😂😂
Hi. How you show enemie's health?
Its a mod
Can you do a krieg build ?
how did you make all the enemies start attacking you in the psykhanium?
I would also like to know
Still upset how they have so many missing weapons still..
What is close range.
Does anyone know how to get those weapons 😭
Get them in the store?????
still meta?
healthbars on horde are you serious? ps. plasma is still King
All opinions and options are valid. Its whatever suits you and your playstyle.
