So. Darktide is a horde shooter, which generally wants you to kill lots of enemies and do so fairly quickly. Brain Burst/Rupture is a single-target ability with a long charge-up time. Isn’t that a bit of an oxymoron? 90% of the Psykers I see with it are only using it for Kinetic Flayer (the other 1…

I use it. It’s a tool and it definitely should not be used for horde clear. It might be the best counter-sniper in the game though. Skudie is one of the best psykers I have ever seen. Always seems to be using BB. [Aggressive Psyker Play - Warhammer 40K Darktide]

BR is amazing and can kill enemies no other blitz can (like the hound that just ran around the corner) or more efficiently than any other weapon (like bulwarks). With Empowered Psyonics (sic?) and Kinetic Resonance you can pop heads like a machine gun with perfect aim.

I firmly believe in a world where Psykinetic’s Aura was located below the Blitz choices, literally no one would use Brain Burst ever, and all choose Assail. It kills far faster, en mass for free, and requires less point investment to be viable. Brain Burst needs reworked to automatically kill targe…

I love this idea. Though I would draw the line at monstrosities or captains/twins. Crushers and below it would be great.

This is a great showcase of BR usage. Killing while repositioning to cover, killing enemies who are out of LOS due to geometry, killing specials who are behind other enemies, killing enemies who are just moving too fast, taking out bulwarks quickly alone. All the hits!

If the off chance I play psyker, I use Brain Rupture. Its fun to jump and grab those pesky far away enemies without having to aim, allowing me to just focus on dodging. I have not played it in a while but I think the build I was running has some kind-of ramp up to the charge the more I use it in suc…

It is a solid option on aurics if you’re picking it with empowered psionics + overpowered souls. I run BB on my trauma build as long-range option and it’s basically a peril-free way to deal with gunners since you can just chain it infinitely. It also deals semi-decent damage to monstrosities, unlike…

I personally don’t often use BB because the only way to make it good is Empowered Psionics. Losing out on Warp Charges or Disrupt Destiny is just too much of a trade-off… It’s kinda OK with the Fire Staff and these 2 keystones though, because it gives you a ranged option that pierces Carapace and B…

Does anyone unironically use Brain Rupture?

You forgot to add that it can’t actually kill a single target in 1 charge on higher difficulties lol. As if killing a crusher or mauler per 30 minute charge would be OP… Shrug
