Legitimate H40 Solo

That’s kinda like calling shade true solos not valid

Idk, you’re not gonna find Havoc 40 true solos that do not have a cheese fundamental, mod to bypass a certain minigame or that do not play on a very easy map (sycorax)

Like the most consistent classes that can achieve victory are:

  • Shroudfield Zealot
  • Hivescum Rampage + Needlegun + Nimble + Jittery + Pickpocket
  • Arbites with shield, charge and dog

If you’re not using any of these 3 and win H40, then you’re either using a mod to bypass the minigames or are playing on sycorax

I’d say you give it a go with shroudfield and killing all le bosses, and don’t pick sissy modifiers

haven’t played staff in a while and it shows :winking_face_with_tongue: just gun psyker, which isn’t an option without supplies. but i don’t like the flame staff, no matter how strong it is.

this was a regular thing among the community back in the day

Running shade or speedrunning with handmaiden were both considered too cheesy along with anything that was considered OP at any given time. Frankly a lot of the debate around what a legit true solo was in VT2 revolved more around that than what mods someone was running.

It all gets very melodramatic very quickly in my experience. End of the day if people wanna see what they consider to be the most legitimate/ethical true solo ever then they can just do it themselves lmao

But it’s so much easier to whine about others doing something you don’t consider legitimate :frowning:

I’m sure it’s the same type who would view things like even in the OG in L4D using goomba stomping zombies as invalid (for some reason) despite it being an incredibly underutilized mechanic of the games. When you’re playing completely solo you’re going to do what you can to make the run work. I fully get people criticizing the mod abuse of filling your screen with warnings, but simply trying to invalidate it because of somebody running a spec?

Sure, I guess. You might not like it and respect it more if it was another class more, but that’s not the same as it not being legitimate.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu my recording didn’t start even tho I pressed the key aaaa (and yes no mod for a curious one who always claims “not legit”)

well, I do have the scoreboard and I do have slightly higher numbers since on the mid event I’m forced to kill everything that would take 4 players to do normally so (as well as killing caps)


(damage taken stat is bugged for solo play, but it should appear correctly in Online Leaderboard)

so yeah it fully depends if you need to kill everything yourself or if you push while you fight which would mean less ambience overall (specials are still lots, 152 coming at my butt)


(I think it counts overkill damage? cap shield damage? no idea why there’s such a huge damage disparity between the two. I’d assume it does count cap shield dmg since the ranged stat is huge even tho I used shredder to fire shields for 95% of their ammo)

It’s not an opinion that these mods go far beyond rectifying sound issues. It is an easily observable fact. Maybe you carefully tune the settings to avoid getting an extra advantage out of it but it sure doesn’t sound like it. You are clearly being fed more information than a vanilla player, even if we assume said vanilla player has 100% perfectly consistent sounds cues. I genuinely don’t fathom how you could begin to argue otherwise.

This is literally identical logic to arguing that something is moral because it is legal. You are outsourcing independent thinking on what is and isn’t reasonable to the company that came up with release version Sister of the Thorn.

I didn’t argue that. I just don’t care. If there was a mod that allowed me to individually change sound values I would use it. There isn’t one.

Like I said, I dislike how ugly it is, but I’d rather have some information than none.

Basically, it’s like this:

  • When I do get sounds, sometimes it’s normal, otherwise it sounds like the enemies are 1000ft away inside a wall, then you hear their attack and you’re bored to death

  • Sometimes they have straight up no sound, including completely silent 500 ppl behind me, or the sounds start late/if you interact with the enemy

    Exactly like these examples:

    KNOWN ISSUE: Sound Cues Missing or Too Quiet - #181 by Harridas

Take it up with Fatshark. If they fix their game sound or ban it. W.e. I can play a diifferent game, or just play DT normally.

Will also add that there was a point when I had no sound issues, and when my friend first mentioned Spidey Sense (he’s half deaf, and has really bad vision), I said I had no reason to use it.

bro your run has sliders insanely modified, half spawns of what you would get in a non modified h40

i left the forums for 2 months and came back to this guy still complaining about mods

its so boring i dont know why the admins dont ban him, every thread turns into sh*t slinging over mods the second he comments

i soloed rotten armour with grey heavy sword but i forgot to record

I’m actually extremely excited to test Heavy Sword FoTF on Rotten Armour once it drops (hopefully on next week’s rotation)

Their change from Flak/Carapace to Infested is gonna make it insanely interesting to play into

I can already see all those new maggot explosions…
