[20251003200331_1] [Screenshot 2025-10-03 200814] Got help from friends and other players on several ideas regarding the Meltagun on how they work and branching weapon types, there should be only two types of Meltaguns in-game. Its can be exclusive to the Veteran due to their Astra Militarum bac…

[image] Enforest: What should I answer? Bad player has discovered a 40k wiki and made up some arbitrary “power levels” based on it, when the game does not have any. If this was an accurate lore-friendly simulator, all would function completely diffirently. Besides, krak grenades are literally an…

[image] Svyat020: Although i think tourists like your wouldn’t mind if FS slapped “Bolter” name to sherred autopistol because if would totally make sense and who cares is it wouldn’t be lore-compliant, right? What? How is that even related? You just made up some idiotic thing in your head, de…

RT has melta. And yet RT is based over TTRPG with literally adopting the rules of TTRPG. And TTRPG has it’s own systen which can’t be completely moved to DT, dear servitor. And yeah, even though that system is flawed and has more abuses it still oneshots humans though the sheer damage and penetrati…

So you just basically defeated your own agument with this, lmao. Kraks can stick to carapace/flak enemies and explode and that’s fine, you can’t take a “blast beam” anti-armor weapon and just melt everything in front of you? [image] Svyat020: UPD: Also in RT you face enemies that are worth to h…

[image] Svyat020: None of darktide enemies is armoured or tought enough to justify melta. The bosses certainly are and I would argue a ogryn covered in carapace is just as fair a target for a melta gun as a space marine besides who cares? There’s no kill like overkill.

This would be a good example if we didn’t had plasma. But we have severely underpowered plasma that fails at oneshotting humans. Why add something that supposed to deal even more damage if we have something that fails to take its niche because of nerfed damage?

[image] Svyat020: But we have severely underpowered plasma that fails at oneshotting humans. I think the plasma gun should oneshot humans but not crushers, a melta should oneshot a crusher on headshot and twoshot on body(realisticly it should oneshot on body but balance) I also think melta sh…

[image] Durandal94: I think the plasma gun should oneshot humans but not crushers [image] Durandal94: melta should have lots of cleave and the plasma should not That’s something i said a lot of times: Plasma should trade cleave for raw damage. People disagreed. [image] Durandal94: …

just make it a scarce/mission specific weapon like I said here: [image] Archon_Dagoth: Maybe as an environmental weapon like heavy bolters in SM, or the breaching charges in darktide, you find in missions, use it until is out then discard it. That way all classes get to have their turn on the …
