Quick boost to 20% flamers/bomber resist perks on curios

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback

The current meta goes that if you take damage resist perks on curios, it has to be resist vs gunners, with them being the most numerous kind of elites/specials you will meet, and often the most obnoxious. And as players normally have very limited number of slots free from more important perks on their curios, other damage resists are almost never used.

Suggestion: make it so bomber/flamer damage resist also would reduce damage from regular environmental fire (from barrels mainly). The environmental fire resist effects should stack even across different kinds of such perks, so if you take one +20% vs bombers and one +20 resist vs flamers, you get effectively two stacks of +20% resist against environmental fire (stacking multiplicatively)

Won’t make them your default perks choice ofc, but at least they’ll be more worth considering.

You should not follow the “metas” but test things by yourself.

There is not much to test, the logic is pretty clear. With gunners being constant, widespread and serious threat, and flamers/bombers occasional serious threat, the former is much more reasonable to protect yourself against. That’s why if you’ll see damage resist perks on some builds out there, those will almost exclusively be gunners dmg resist perks, except for may be some psyker’s builds that use Shield, and some niche endgame builds that assume you have such psyker or two in your squad. All the rest will either stack toughness, or gunner resist.

The more power is given to optional resist perks, the more chances they’ll be used as well. As of now, they are worth it for almost nobody.

I don’t use any gunner resist on my curios,
You seem so sure, so I guess you tested all the other choices.

You using suboptimal builds doesn’t really serve as a good point.

To say the least. Gunner resist is the most useless resist that you can pick

You should watch more recent guides. Pretty sure gunner resist stopped being meta a long time ago, not that it was ever that useful.

thats common sense not “meta”, why should anyone pick damage resist against a single enemy that spawns twice per room when there are gunner patrols at every inch?

what OP is saying is that less relevant resistances should be buffed so not taking gunner can become a reasonable thing.

It is still one of the best to use. 2 gunner curios can and will absolutely save you runs considering every room has like 10+ gunners on the higher difficulties.

And isn’t bomber curio only affects the initial explosion, no the fire pool it leaves?

it used to effect only the kick for the longest time.
