I’m personally excited for the Itemization update, but there’s a part of me that feels somewhat jaded that new players (and even some old), won’t truly understand the toil it took to get your hands on some of these weapons. With that being said, while I welcome the change w/ open arms, I wanted to be able to share some of my personal treasures before they become far easier and far simpler to acquire. Some of these took months on end of focused effort, spending all of my money on rolling for decent stats before approaching Hadron w/ tentative hope. The longest acquisition took nearly six months. The shortest was thrust upon me unexpectedly and sequestered away before the game could change it’s mind. And all of this was done without any kind of automation provided by mods. I manually sorted through every roll, weighing the distribution of stats among the Modifiers, less interested in a perfect roll than one that would do what I wanted. None of these weapons are perfect (well, maybe one of them is), but they were all hard fought, and well earned. A knife that deals so much bleed, it actually causes me to miss out on passives that are triggered by melee kills. A funny gun that sings like vorpal, and a Chain Sword that has mistaken the world for butter. Feel free to share your own treasures, before advancements in manufacturing turn your 1 in a Million into 1 of a Million.
I need to update my album as I did clean up my inventory many times
Ooh let me dig up my old relic of a 71% charge speed plasmagun from when that was a thing…
Though I covet my extensive collection of 17% toughness curios over all else!
Edit, as promised:
Huh, I never did get round to committing that last alteration…
I believe you’ll keep the old weapons there. So your treasures won’t be lost. As I read the blog.
But I am hoping new players won’t know the toil. They’re better off for not knowing and more likely to recommend the game then.
An interview with a witness of Darktide crafting system abuse, “I have been here a year”:
All of these are great. Chef Kiss
Perfect vibe.
I’ve only two 380s, and of them only the Chainsword has seen use. This is how the game likes to treat me; not a ranged weapon I use a lot, like a laspistol. No. The plasma gun, a weapon I never touch (I’m inept with it, whilst a friend of mine is a damned surgeon with them).
In joint-third place, my trusty old shovel and Mk XII. What service they’ve seen, the pair of old faithfuls. Soon they shall get their rightful place at 380.
Everyone sharing made me want to post a few more from my other characters. I main Zealot but I’ve acquired pretties on my Ogryn, Vet, and Psyker too. I’m just less confident on how good they actually are since I’m probably less knowledgeable on what’s best for classes aside from Zealot.
If you see an Agrathal, Goose, Yuma, or Sarine, know that I stand w/ you. I’m gonna let other people shine; I’m done w/ my own showing off. But may your games always end in glory, my darlings.
I would say the Agripinaa i have was about as close to perfect as i could ask.
Main thing i still need to do with wit is adjust reload speed so it’s higher since when i came back i was working on several weapons at the same time.
In particular i love this combo because it’s really easy to trigger Full Bore with either a normal shot or a slug for that +20% and then hitting knocked enemies for the No Respite bonus to get an extra +20%. I literally use this to hunt snipers and use this to clown of crushers at times.
That Bolty is Nasty
i got it just recently, i used to spend 2 million credits each playing week in search of it
my please buff list. Crucis is the most painful weapon to use in this game by a mile and has always been. Lawbringer needs the extra bleed stacks it will get whenever items are overhauled, but also needs buffs on top of that.
the weapon I’m talking about when I say shotguns are brutally underrated
some boring stuff
I have had this for forever on my Zealot and I was very happy to have it back when the game came out. Damnation Dreg Stalkers had 400 HP, and the AG1 did exactly 399 damage to Unarmored before. Dreg Stalkers were also the most powerful gunhand by a mile…
me bolters also took a ton of cash. I was very sad about the armor change on FoTF as you can see for my Zealot’s bolter.
my actual favorite of all, that’s not even 1/10th of the clubs I needed to get this roll send help. bonk stick is best weapon ever
