Issue Description (Required):
Don’t know if this is due to some new insane meta build, but encountered some psykers and vets with seemingly infinite, constant fire. Using a stave with only single left click attack but it’s shooting warp shots in a constant flow like a machine gun and never venting, just staggering and wiping everything, even crusher armies. Don’t know which stave since they never had to use 2nd attack, but I’d struggle with 5 fully charged voidstrike 2nd attacks and scier’s gaze to take down half the stuff so fast. Also seen a vet today with a constant stream of lasgun, never stopping firing and killstealing everything in the rest of our faces and never once saying “reloading!” xD
Are there new stupid builds capable of this, or is this some more cheating or mods?
Sounds like macro abuse. You can shoot the staff bolt pretty fast, but they still haven’t fixed the input frames for quelling peril. What are supposed to be amazing input opportunities for tight gameplay are abused instead to make the staff bolt shoot around 10 more rounds a second than it can just spamming the trigger.
As for the kantrael lasgun, yeah you can make a pretty decent headshot sustaining loadout with marksmen focus’ modifier node that gives 10% stamina per weakspot kill back and deadshot. Probably using some auto fire macro or mod again, though I’ll point out the spammy lasgun has too much recoil for this to be very effective without running executioner stance. I dunno if I’d put that in the same ballpark of irritating though, Kantrael lasgun is a bit booty cheek. Even this loadout (like everything else) the las pistol would do better. And no one is writing home to Terra over that thing either.

Aye cheers. Most likely macro spam on the stave, it was like there was non stop blue light in all our faces. I have a lvl 575+ psyker and never been able to pull that off with any build but I only recently decided to start modding- mainly to see true levels and outlines to help with visual issues. But I haven’t perused the mod catalogue in full yet xD Not exaggerating when I say machinegun. Picture Sienna’s bolt staff 1st attack 5x as fast xD. Dude melted a crusher train before it reached him when cornered.

It’s a macro that utilizes an animation cancel glitch. Fatshark seem unwilling to fix it though so any time I see a psyker with Surge blessing on a lightning staff I quit before the mission starts.

It’s a quell macro abuser, essentially they have a macro that precisely times a 20 ms quell after every shot they fire, it increases their attack speed by close to 200% over what normal spamming left click does. Most of them seem to justify it that “you can manually do it”, which as someone with more time on psyker than most of these people have in the game is patently untrue.
Manual quell cancelling is possible and easy to do with some rebinding but at best you get maybe 60-70% faster attack speed and it isn’t consistent, with hundreds of hours of practice you will still miss an input every 10-30 seconds. When people are shooting so fast its a solid beam that never misses a single input they are abusing a macro. No human can repeatedly input exact 20 ms inputs thousands of times repeatedly yet I’ve seen dozens of psykers try and gas light the rest of the team they are just “really good” at the timing.
