It’s like the rng just knows I’m trying to complete it, when it spawns a trapper that zaps me mid-rush. It’s absolute ASS!!! I hate this penance sooooooo much!!! It’s 10x worse than “Heavyweight Champion” due to the luck factor required to complete it. First, it’s not as difficult to find a strike team if you just take your chances with whoever is available in the Morning Star, but then actually getting a good mission, high intensity, and pray to the Emperor that shock troops will be available.
-------It’s over. I got it. I still hate this penance. though.
I’m using the grenade launcher thing that has 4 shots and a mk3 cleaver and I have the 2 feats equipped, as well as an additional 9% cd from curios(never been able to find a lv4 ability cd- curio)
The one thing I appreciate from this is how supportive the community usually is. Everyone is great whenever I randomly invite people into my party, I explain what’s going on and they’re always down. A+++ for the wonderful community. ABSOLUTE TRASH TIER PENANCE DESIGN, AND WHOEVER WAS IN CHARGE OF THAT. I don’t want to say more, I know I’ll be banned.
You do not need this. Shock troop gauntlet does not help at all with this penance, because the CD feat only works with kills of elites, not specials.
All you need to do is:
equip the correct 2 feats (Bullfighter: cd on elite kill in coherency, Unstoppable: 100% more charge range) which it sounds like you have: “i have the 2 feats equipped“
use your charge (full range)
then have about 4-5 elites get killed (by yourself, or allies in coherency) within the next 12 sec or so
use your charge again (full range) as soon as cd is ready.
Done.
Can you explain, what exactly your issue with the penance is?
Aside from the stupid „private lobby only“ requirement.
4-5 elites show up together quite regularly on damnation, even without high int modifier.
They do not always appear in a location that allows you to charge anywhere to full range, but the right circumstances do happen at least a few times per mission.
The real question is why are you even engaging with the penance system at all?
Just ignore penances. We all know they are not well thought of, toxic, and a completely useless distraction that’s just pure FoMo.
You can’t even do anything with your penance level. It’s just a number without any meaning or usefulness.
although I’m not sure I’d have gotten the penance so easily without being able to do public quick play.
Truthfully heavy-weight champion is more rng reliant, because you basically need a crusher patrol and your team to not instantly wipe them. Looking at all the psykers and bolters out there.
I don’t quite know how to quote or reply to several replies in one post, but:
a) My issue with the penance is how there’s no way to track how far you’re charging for, or how long you have left before you’ve taken too long and have to try again. That’s number one. Number two, a number of variables, like distance, TRAPPERS, can really mess you up.
b) My completionist self/neurosis compells me to get those penances as they are tied to a cosmetic that plooks pretty neat. It’s completely separate from my enjoyment of the game, and yet it’s inextricably linked.
c) I got Heavyweight Champion done yesterday by chance, when a bunch of Bulwarks were cramped up. I was so happy. That has rng, but it’s still something you can control, as opposed to Don’t Stop Me Now, which now requires you to be in a private party.
Also thanks for letting me know Shock Troops don’t count. I was certain Specialists did count for the feat.
You can go to the meatgrinder and put a waypoint at your feet.
Charge and turn around to see how far away you are from the starting point.
You can also use a waypoint during a mission to check for a fitting path to charge for max range.
Ult cooldown of the ogryn is 30seconds.
Charging takes something like 2-3 seconds.
You have to charge twice in 20seconds.
To complete two charges within 20 seconds, you have to start the second one about 17 seconds after starting the first one.
Elites killed within coherency grant 10% cooldown reduction (30sec cooldown → 3sec off per kill).
So you need about 4-5 elites killed within 17 sec of starting the first charge.
Keep track of the killfeed and/or the elites that are around.
When you see that a bunch of them have died, you hit your second charge as soon as it is off cooldown.
Did you do it prior to the patch that made it private-only? ‘cause it’s just a FLUFFIN’ hassle to even attempt it, as I have to beg to people in the morning star, or go out of my way to find people to help me wioth it on Discord or any Steam friends. THEN, finding the right spot, the right conditions. It’s NOT THAT SIMPLE, OKAY? IT’S NOT!
If it’s not a Mutant spawning, or a trapper, or a hound, I swear to God, this is making me livid. I can’t believe these stupid-ass devs added a patch that made it private-only, but didn’t bother adjusting the requirements or thought about adjusting the Bull Rush cooldown. I don’t even care if me calling a spade a spade gets me banned. I can’t have respect for a developer who has no respect for its playerbase or the time we spend playing this goddamn game.
I mean it really is pretty easy. The only thing that made it worse is the private match. When you do your first charge do it a little ways back from the team so you end next to them and can get kills in coherency.
