Granted am not here to complain about their damage profile far from that they’re actually really good precision weapons and can reach exceptional breakpoints if your ALWAYS AIMING FOR THE HEAD/Weak spot and that’s fine. Problem ?
I get that a dmr can feel weird without some kickback but its excessive on the infantry lasgun you really cannot afford to keep whiffing your shots on higher level of play which bombards you with enemy gunners. This is especially prevalent since now elite gunners can move while shooting you ever since Grim protocols patch from last year. Using ads while trying snipe all the moving targets on the infantry is really miserable compared to other precision weapons.
Fatshark please reduce the kickback effect on this gun, it just doesn’t work anymore in the current state of the game (This is not 2023 darktide anymore). I don’t see how this will make the gun op in any way considering its outright useless against carapace and every other lasgun in the game doesn’t have this recoil simulation thing going on.
I already made a more in-depth Topic on this exact issue, if you’re interested! Hopefully Fatshark actually buffs the Infantry Lasguns in the upcoming Q4 2025 Update…
Yeah that’s pretty much my sentiment, although the recent vet tree rework made them alot better with exec stance and/or marksman focus. They are just very clunky to use. Correct me if am wrong but infantry lasguns have received minor changes if at all ever since classes got access to talent trees. Fatshark just seem to have forgotten about this gun so my hopes are extremely low that anything will be done in the next patch update.
They aren’t! Lasguns are actually very powerful weapons that cuts peoples limbs off and causes the blood to flash boil resulting in small fleshy explosions! The reason they are refered to as “flashlights” is because alot of what the imperium fights are op as hell but against humans they are very powerful.
Would have loved a “fire mode” toggle on them so I can switch between semi-automatic and fully-automatic cause damn, the constant clicking to shoot is hurting my wrist.
It’s like playing with the knife or tac-axe. Ouch.
You do realize that 40k lore describes the las gun as able to blow a fist-sized hole in a regular human. On its absolute lowest setting. Through body armor. On the highest, well, imagine holding in you hand a weapon that would make a modern MBT both jealous and very leery of upsetting you.
The las gun isn’t weak in lore. Its just that every other faction that care about its troops life span even slightly decks its soldiers out in the equivalent of full carpace.
Ditto. I had (emphasis on past tense) a build that used the IIIb for a carbine. I gave it up not because it didn’t work, but due to A) getting a severe cramp in my finger and B) for the first time in a while a having to replace a mouse without it be a chewed cord issue.
Even if its as stupid as “hip-fire automatic, ADS single-shot” and limited to the IIIb. Some form of select-fire is badly needed.
Though personally I’ve given up using the las gun for the most part due to the issues around it. The single-shot autogun seems to actually do better at the typical ranges ingame and the bash is more useful in general than the flashlight. I just have to watch the ammo but with Vermintide-In-Space I end up having to melee and grenade more than shoot anyway.
