FS needs to just make those blessings rank 3 or 4, so dumb. (Also, can you even roll Rank 2 blessings at around level 22 - when this shockgun unlocks?)

@@vicidplays2088 I don't think you can lol.

​@Reginald-sc9tk That's how I got mine. Leveled a zealot up to 20 and rolled manstopper and flechette very quickly.

You can also check Brunt's for the random weapons every hour. I've gotten a couple tier 2 blessings from there on my human characters.

@@vicidplays2088 ya i havent played in a while and wont until the itemization overhaul. at least theres something to look forward to though

only real problem with Exec stance is the green gas bomb or map effect glitches the tagging outline. Other than that yeah the Hacker on a long range build is hilariously good.

Thanks! I actually have a spread sheet with kill times for a number of major enemy types. They're still valid as balance hasn't changed much in the last 6 months since patch 14. Welcome to the fold friend, hope you keep having fun.

@@Reginald-sc9tk thank you. The game gets better the better I get.

@@J.B.1982 and the skill cap is incredibly insanely high. That's why I keep playing, i still have improvement to do.

Its good you missed game in a bad 1st year, enjoy...FOR THE EMPEROR

It does tighten spread but only while sprinting and you only get two shots. Compare that to shorter range but clearing 6+ ragers in a single shot.

Agreed inexperienced gamers will not understand that this blessing is core to a standard performance hacker. I would not run one without run and gun unless with specialized build.

@@Reginald-sc9tklook at the reticle, all times it is tighter. Nearly by 50% while just standing. While sprinting and sliding it decreases by 75%. Play with this blessing and compare it. It’s best in slot for gun psyker.

Yeah I also have to agree, Run and gun + full bore allows my zealot to destroy units. Plus you can slide and reload keeping forward momentum

@@Reginald-sc9tk Run n gun is a good blessing > damage buff, maintains mobility and reduces dispersion (even when stationary). With the zaelot's talent for reducing dispersion on a dodge, the reticle becomes smaller than the agripinaa shotgun. The only problem is that I have the impression that the dispersion depending on the reticul is not correct either on the zealot with this combo, or on the veteran with the appropriate talents/skills.

Satara shotgun build is nice :)

@@fragtal177 ORDER BANG

I think you're mixing your shooters and gunners. Gunners are the machine gun elites in the psychaneum while shooters are just the random rifle guys. I agree the shooter buff was needed but the gunners also getting buffed was a weird call. They're more annoying than fun and spawn in strangely high numbers for "elites"

@@Reginald-sc9tk i keep confusing dreg and scab gunners like crazy

@@Reginald-sc9tkwhen were gunners buffed?

@@agedgouda8809 This patch, they also received a narrowing of their firing cone so they're more accurate.

@@Reginald-sc9tki havent played psyker since the patch cuz i dont wanna get shredded by some random ass dred that decided to spawn on a ledge above and behind me that instantly deletes me before I can even turn around and brain burst it. This happened to me a few days before the update so I cannot imagine how bad it is now. Also I wish enemies would stop spawning out of thin air and buffing gunners while the stun from them still exists was a bad move because a veteran has voice of command but a psyker does not and its just bad in general. We should not be getting stunned by gunners. Also idk if they did anything to shotgunners but it seems like they knock you back aggressively even if they arent close enough to do a ton of damage. Since the update shotgunners have been just shredding health but they could be the same for all I know.

I'd say its 70% but that's still not amazing. I think its a good way to up DPS if you're running deathspitter into enemy groups.

By my experience unless you have your secondary fire queued while reloading it does do what it's supposed to do for rapid reload and fire of both barrels, I have only had trouble with how mine is paired with full bore it does kill yet feels like something was not full stopping power

Thanks. I'll wait for it come out on nexus then. But I was able to test everything that needed testing so I'm satisfied with the tutorial in its current state.

@@Reginald-sc9tkit might be useful in future for other weapons, the dev also seems to have up and left with no updates since February (for comparison the most recent message on the thread was in june asking when it’s coming to nexus) so it’s best just get, also believes it automatically allows access to new weapons/blessing etc but that could be my memory acting up Anyway thanks for the reply and best of luck on future vids

​@@Reginald-sc9tkcorrect. Loadout config and monster spawner are tremendously useful and should be part of the psykanium. I also want to get it from Nexus, don't quite trust mods from discords.

Thanks very much! I'm trying to do them faster but maintain the same level of execution. Its tough so if there's things that were obviously misses I'll take the feedback.

I try to bring as much quality as I can.

Hell yea

That's what I'm thinkin, yes.

It does, but I think the weaknesses i mentioned are the real make or break.

@@Reginald-sc9tk You have improperly assessed the blessing, its functions, and capabilities. Review the blessing further and address the misunderstandings.

Its fun, but if you don't want to play roulette with your mats maybe just wait for the crafting update lmao.

@@Reginald-sc9tk haha fair nuff might be worth it to be a little more patient

He remembers!

Ironically I am also liking it more on my vet than my zealot.

It really is like a sub 15m weapon. Its good for what it is and provides a new play style but little competes with revolver right now so its a bad comparison. Revolver is literally SSS tier and plasma is like S tier and then you have all the other guns. Columnus IAG is probably S or better.

@@Reginald-sc9tk Fair enough. What tier would you place this weapon then? It's feeling like a B to me.

@@kronosDking B

Happy to do it. I try to be precise but detailed, so I don't waste people's time.

Its just effective branding. I thought of something entirely else, personally.

@@Reginald-sc9tk fair nuff. Tho speaking of scout, the gun works well with a scout vet playstyle. Basically high speed shotguns

Always happy to help a loyalist blast heretics.

@@Reginald-sc9tk Unspike the Spiky Ones!

Honestlt DON'T craft it. Instead just keep an eye out for manstopper in the armory. Then craft a good roll, slap manstopper on, and run a crit build. It'll be good enough to enjoy if you do that.

@@Reginald-sc9tk Ill definitely do this I think. I got excited with the new crap and spent so much materials I had piled up and kinda burned out remembering why I hate the crafting system haha. Ill give the manstopper crit build a go, haven't played Vet in a while. I will say, the new pickaxe on Ogryn has be playing him again, and its pretty awesome having a new weapon on them lol.

@@Cederlof_Ink I really like the picks, they're really fun weapons.

@Reginald-sc9tk I was playing last night on my ogryn, Tiny. Was basically able to just stand my ground against waves of enemies and almost never die. Definitely love the heaviest pick, slow, but hits hard and staggers most stuff. I did play a game with a vet using the shotgun, made me want to try it again haha. I'm waiting for that crafting update though.

I totally agree with you but like anything in the tide games, you can make it work if you figure out the more shooting gallery areas.

You certainly can use it more if you have something like dance of death. But I'm not sure its worth it specifically on this shotgun.

I have a bit of a soft spot for reducing spread on shotguns as much as possible in all sorts of games. Not only does it make your range a bit longer in practice by only being affected by falloff, but taking a weapon that's designed around hitting every enemy in a room, and putting every instance of damage between a person's eyes often has spicy results

I dont have them on hand but its an RTX 4090 and an I9 on a top shelf rig.

@@Reginald-sc9tk oh sheeit very nice

I think it was incidental to buffing shooters. Shooters need the buff, maybe not stalkers. But gunners didn't. They need other things.

@@Reginald-sc9tk Ah, I see. Also, I didn't realize there was a mechanical Distinction between Stalkers and Shooters other than in name and appearance. Wonder if we'll ever see Dreg Stalkers.

@@mizranozahara968 Technically speaking dreg shooters are dreg stalkers repurposed. Scab stalkers will walk around while firing and move to melee. Scab shooters will generally retreat and try to fire from covered positions.

You can certainly build for that with the right talents but its highly niche and feels bad compared to other options I feel.

@@Reginald-sc9tk i often work best with niche

Doesn't the folding shovel handle crushers all by itself, there's no real reason to shoot them first?

@Reginald-sc9tk the shot helps stagger and takes a good chunk of health Helps speed up taking them out as vet

@Reginald-sc9tk plus I seem to find my self in the situation of "why emperor when I'm out of krak grenades do you spawn a crusher hoard on me while my team is busy off doing nurgle knows what"

Can't say I agree. The bolt pistol is pretty mid and the shotgun does some things the plasma gun does better than even it. Though plasma is obviously goated. For many reasons. Manstopper is insane.

I think the bolt pistol is better due to being able to snipe shooters, specials, and elites(as a veteran). The shotgun can be devastating, but I find it lacking when you come across a bunch of shooters/ gunners that are out of range. I’ve had a lot of fun moments with the double barrel, but also some frustrating ones when my team isn’t built to deal with shooters.

Why do people always compare everything to the Plasma Gun. Of course it's viable - it is the most overpowered weapon in the game.

I've just been lurking in the dark corners of youtube for an age. I appreciate the sub!

Only while there was no content. I'm apparently not the only one enthusiastic about it.

Data like that is in the weapon inspect menu but also check out games lantern. The code is in a repository and you'll want to track down the modding discord and go from there.

@@Reginald-sc9tk did u mean I need some mods or “game data extractor” to extract the code? Is it allowed or not?

@@augerl8935 no i mean the code is in a github repository but I don't have the link on hand, you'd need to follow up with the discord (online chat app) for the modding community.

​@@Reginald-sc9tk LMAO, ok, I will follow your instructions. TBH, I know the meaning of "discord", and joined A community via STEAM.

​@@Reginald-sc9tk Your video is organized very clearly, and the evidence supports your view well. I like your talk style and it is great to learn a lot about Darktide

why don't you just tell me which one.

WHY NO MELTA!!!!!!!!????

Thanks! I can't! But I can make more videos.

I hear it could be on the docket.

Definitely. I am one so I feel like they know their stuff.

Tell me a better one. I couldn't think of a single bright smoothe wall in darktide

The game involves none of this, just go hit heretics. The spreadsheets are so people can understand the large volume of often undetailed stats that are at play so they can get better.

Kickback is one of the strongest guns in the game though

@Reginald-sc9tk Man, is it? Because it does not one-shot mutants like the double barrel, double pump does. I'm level 19 with my Ogryn (His name is "Handsome"), and I'm still struggling with getting consistent matador kills against mutants.

I think it's merely a game design thing, not devs being scared or something

Its very powerful at closer ranges, there are a ton of (veteran) weapons that are specifically good at long range already.

@@Tyrgalon Yeah it can be good sometimes, but other times it's just feels like a sneeze gun. I think I'd put the double barrel into high C tier, maybe low B tier, but it's got quite a lot of limitations compared to other weapons. I hope it sees a small range buff and small damage buff to make breakpoints more consistent, then it will be perfect, a true super shotgun. Some of the blessings could use a looking at as well.

@@troller9838 Its best for a close quarters vet build that does a lot of melee and swaps between them a lot. It shines with the talent that loads ammo after a melee kill allowing you quickly pull it out and blast anything in front of you with 1 shot. If you want a dedicated gun shoot good at more than close range then the other shotguns are for that.

I don't agree that it's weak at all. Running a pretty typical shout-specialist vet build you can easily top frag and top damage. It does have weaknesses but its fun that weapons have down sides. If you want a shotty with range try the agripinaa or law bringer.

Yeach, you need to have ranged option to eliminate elites harassing your team. Double Barrel is bassicly second meele option lol

Weird take.

@@Robert-wf7xu You don't even need a gun to beat auric maelstrom.

@@Reginald-sc9tk cope.

This is the definition of "skill issue" Im afraid.

Why do you think they dropped the ball exactly?

Thats my brand.

OR you could get good at the game so its stops being bad in YOUR hands? ;)

@@Tyrgalon sorry I have life and don't have time to put another full time job into making two shot low range low penetration weapon good I just take revolver and poop heads mid combo
