New maul for zealot underwhelming

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback

New weapon just feels like an inferior thunder hammer. weak special charge attack and worse horde clear. The special attack on the power maul should of been built into the thunder hammer anyway. Not just trying to complain but improve the weapons.

Any thoughts?

When I saw the shockwave, I thought: Cool!
When I saw that it didn’t affect anything else than the primary target: sadface

It’s a powermaul with the Ev hordeclear.
It’s an in between. You can bonk stuff to death.
But then, why not use the hammer?

I do agree with this.

What they could do is :

  • Have the special activation stay up for more than one attack.
    OR
  • Have the AoE actually be an AoE, a big blast attack

Then:

  • Crank up overall damage of the weapon
  • Reduce the wind up on the heavy attack

Any thoughts?

What do you mean? It pushes all the enemies around the shock wave, its pretty good to keep hordes away BUT the damage is too low and its very annoying to keep activating it all the time.

Good ideas I think. The ogryn maul is basically in the same boat as well.

Another weapon to shrug at and probably never use, that will increase the RNG of the shop and make it even less likely that you get something you want. Brilliant.

Not that I’ve tried it, of course. The game won’t let me. I have to win the shop lottery first.

Yeah the Ogryn Power Maul is just as underwhelming unfortunately.
