How often do you all load into an Auric Damnation and get the director just blowing the entire mission’s ticket load on ragers in a random room? What are you highest rager counts?
My previous was 26, but I just had a mission where it might have broken 40 all at once.
I’d enjoy those situations a whole lot more if they didn’t almost always turn out to be an instant squad wipe.
It’s times like these I’m always glad to have a nuke handy!
RIP kill feed 
Ogryn with nuke is very much appreciated in times like these…
Sadly I’ve only been so lucky once.
I love ragers so much. They’re fun to fight, they’re reasonably dangerous, their sound cues are working.
Remember when 2 at a time were dangerous?
Ah well.
But yes, sometimes the director just gets funny ideas.
Wasn’t that the same in VT2, especially if the host had poor performance? Spawning more stuff didn’t work for one reason or another, so it had a lot of budget left and not a lot of slots, and since specials and armoured elites were capped, it produced hordes of monks? Probably the same here.
Yes at some point worker threads were related to how much the director was spawning. So people hosting with good CPUs had much higher density. I don’t remember how long it was going though.
I have seen 2 Rager patrols together once or twice. Must be a statistical anomaly.
This is why you have Smykers and Nuke Ogryns. always handy having one in your team.
*Oh look! 40 Ragers!
Psyker: My dream has suddenly got very loud. ZZAP!
Ragers are just free dopamine, easy to kill and the kill feed lights up
Grandfather, grant me the touch of death!
Vermintide 2 ('s) “Monks” came in twos or threes and were no laughing matter. Albeit with a window of opportunity.
Still … Darktide needs to send 40 ragers?
I find rager spam tedious, even if less so than the bulwark teams. The half naked variety got also their attack sped up, which just pushed them towards that VT2 monk experience. Just another class of enemies which design falls apart in larger groups.
I really enjoyed the plague monks in VT2 
yeah every time I pick up the Cadian chainsword again for a couple games I am immediately accosted by ragers. its like you could have picked any other melee and been fine here.
Smykers just hold smite on a half dozen of the ragers without using the knockdown, then get backstabbed by the rest of the ragers, then complain that no one killed the ragers they were stunning while they die.
The reved attacks stun-lock ragers and deals a tremendous amount of damage. If you don’t kill em in the first shred, a reved push attack will finish em off.
Yeah but in vt2 you didn’t have completely busted range builds running all the time that will cut down the a hoard or Melee weapons that could easily stun lock them.
As a zealot if I run heavy sword I can just one shot so as long as I got room to kite it’s not to bad.
yeah but you said the room full of ragers and other stuff right? no one has an issue with any one heretic in a vacuum. but in a room full of enemies and ragers I would rather literally any other human or ogryn melee than a chainsword…its stagger power is low, its damage is low, its range is short, the rev is long and they still haven’t fixed getting staggered out of the charge up.
Since I prefer Voidblast staff, I don’t see a problem here.
2-3 ragers is no longer threatening since you could stunlock 2 with dueling sword special, not that you couldn’t stunlock them with crutchsword, or buffed trashhammer, or be ogryn…etc.
