ChocoB teaching me how to use my favorite weapon

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion
1

Today i went to sleep, then a forbidden thought came across my head, what would happen if i sacrifice the middle tree and try Marksman Focus

after all i’m the best with the Bolter i can hit a cuple head shots here and there even without Executioner’s stance

then i get this video in my youtube feed

ChocoB just having a blast one tapping everything in the map with the worst talent build imaginable

i changed his talent build to something that would fits me and i’ve played it

Marksman focus is a weird gameplay, but if you cheese it by constantly dodging around while crouched you can keep it up for long, Bolter has 4 effective dodges so its pretty good to move around with

it performed pretty well, the 75% finesse with the 10 stacks it gained enough sway to keep the shots on target, i played it with voice of command and i was still one tapping everything like he did in the video with executioner’s stance, turns out the damage Executioner’s stance was giving him are redundant (unless you body shot, then the 25% extra damage gets good)

but what about bosses killing potential?, i’m Antilus if i don’t have something that can delete bosses in my build i’m sad

well turns out my Stun the boss with VoC and blast his face is even stronger than it was in patch 14 with marksman perk

now i feel ashamed to have shunned this Marksman Focus deal and slept on it, this is my apologize topic, and now i’ll post my boss buster build to do this

if you play full hp like me you are going to have serious max thougness deficency with this build, that doesn’t have the +25 node, i would suggest at least x2 5% thoguness on curios to make iron will worth

iron will will always be worth regardless with voice of command

there you go

years ago I was really bad at Vermintide and it’s ChocoB and his videos who helped me getting way better.

No deadeye? There’s like 2 maybe 3 weapons that can use it effectively, and Bolter is one of them. Surprised you didn’t pick it up.

I do miss my OSP from Iron Will, but I’m not sure its worth it over Deadshot and Exhilarating takedown which gives you better defenses overall.

Excuse me, what? Marksmen Focus effects recoil?

never used those, ever, so i can’t make an evalutation, you can just adapt your perks like i did with choco anyways

i never felt like i needed more damage on my semi auto shots, i specialize for the full auto burst

apparently it does, its called sway in this game for some perks

ranged finesse power, whatever the hell that is, 7.5 x 10 is 75%, less recoil apparently

damage wise it only affects head shots, so gotta hit those, but its very easy even when you full auto or do the 2 shot bursts from the hip, with -75% recoil that is

i find myself missing some weakpoints when bursting bosses in game, for chaos spawn especially, because i’m just too used to the recoil and aim a little bit lower, i hope i’ll get better eventually

now its probably even better if you put a reflex sight on that, without the recoil the game changes

Do you know it if affects base spread as well?

7

no, i just know now this feels like a lasgun

Ok, I tested it for a bit and I’m either insensitive to this or there is something weird going on.

Playing around with it it appears to make the smallest of tiny differences in ADS fire getting rid of the jittery after-effect… Sometimes, and sometimes it’s still jittery, and of course, sometimes it isn’t jittery without stack too.

I’ve seen absolutely 0 difference in hip-fire… I did see an effect once, but it might have been just a fluke. Even tried going for the 15-stack version thinking it would make it more visible to me, but nothing.

It’s either not working for me for some reason, or I’m just blind to it or something. I definitely feel Executioner’s stance making a difference, but not this, not really. Hope someone makes a side-by-side comparison or something.

yes you are right, the recoil is still there, its just more precise when shooting

10

Sway isn’t recoil. Sway is how much your gun moving in your hands when you ads while stand/move/run. So it affects accuracy.

also when you shoot apparently

12

I didn’t feel that either, but I’m ain’t going to test that further. Maybe someone else can.

13

what is going on here then, i feel way more precise when full auto in the game

nope, now its not affected in the psykanium, what the hell

14

Full auto did the same pattern on the wall with and without 15 stacks with some variance between the mag-dumps.

Okay, I think this means you are an Ork, and when you believed in it, it worked, and evil me sowed the seeds of doubt and now it doesn’t.

When you shoot it’s sway+recoil.

Don’t know is it obvious thing to do or not (sry in case if yes), to partialy skip bolter jumps all over the place animations i abuse ads-cancel-ads, especially when it needs to shoot while moving

So instead of this

You have this

Not like this, i’ve just known how to reset the animation fully to get better shots

i can’t even do that, how the hell is he so on point with the skip

18

How the hell are you doing it this fast? I do ads-cancel-ads, but mine doesn’t look like this at all.

It will take longer to wait for recoil pattern go back (maybe it’s just my placebo)

If you are not using toggle for ads (i think you better not to) - press rmb for ads → shoot → release rmb and immediately press it again

I’m not using toggle. After a bit of trying, I could somewhat replicate your speed, but my fingers just aren’t this fast. You have some good skills there friend.
