THE BOLT PISTOL IS COOL BUT NOT OVERWHELMING - Auric Maelstrom Gameplay｜Darktide 

the bolt pistol is the revolver but worse

They have to up its damage I reckon so it can reliably hit threshholds to one tap most specials. Either its base damage or its explosion damage or both. When I used it, it didnt matter that it had like 20% more ammo, I was using 2-3X as many shots to kill as the zarona. It will inevitably be compared to the zarona and as long as a revolver can kill with a shoulder shot but a bolt pistol with a round that explodes cant? Its so stupid that it is outclassed here. Let its explosion damage not be negligible so it kills chaff in AOE while zarona kills in pierce. Up its damage across the board, give it even worse handling under sustained fire if you have to, but it has to hit that threshhold to reliably one tap elites and specials otherwise its just so clunky to use and completely outclassed.

The weird random sway when trying to aim it quickly has to go. Everything else is fine, you just have to build it right.

The shovel reminds me so much of krubers shortsword, which was an amazing weapon as well

shoving poxbursters with the bolter's special push looks stylish

Always a nice day/midnight when chocob uploads keep up the amazing content

You’re such an animal man, I’d love to play with you sometime! You’ve helped me out with the videos even back in the VT2 days. 👍🏻

I had a great boltpistol loadout and the bolt pistols biggest issue to me is its slow reload and recoil but other than those two issues if you get the right perks its actually REALLY GOOD

The skill is crazy

the boltpistol is great at surgical dissection of dangerous stuff. with the right build the boltpistol can one shot anything human sized (maulers can be done in 2/3), and deal with ogryns and mutants with 3/4 shots. it also can deal with bosses effectively just at around half the speed of its big brother boltgun. in other words i consider it a pretty high tier weapon. however, it does need one change and that is to have the same projectiles as the boltgun. the damage is the same all it needs is a good amount of penetration and the ability to pass through cover. at that point it would be complete

Finally we can be THAT Commissar from THAT animation.

Literally Commissar Cain 💯

Have the human folding shovels been buffed? I could be misremembering but it feels like they do more damage and are faster now

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is my favorite Singleplayer game.

dont give this person a short shovel or a deagle this person will slaughter everyone

The Bolt Pistol makes me feel very whelmed.

Is that character name a reference to Ghost of Tsushima by any chance? First thing I thought of was Sensei Ishikawa :P

the bolt pistol feels way too weak right now, if they changed the ads speed would be a lot better

It's sad that in a 40k game the best melee weapon is a shovel. Excellent horde control and high single target damage.

How do you play w/o bots

So many people think this thing is just a worse revokver but with the explosion for close range and bleed dmg never mind its collateral allowing for great horde clearing, its the PERFECT vet commander weapon for a build that puts out as much toughness regen foe the geou theough inspiring presence and voice of command and allows you to save you infinitely respawning frags with evwn bigger explosions and bleed for the oh shit moments to deal with pox hound hordes or to allow for clutch revives.

It should just be an ordinary pistol similar to the Las pistol

A battlefield type game of Wh40k would be pretty fun

👍👍👍👍

are you using a mod or macro to slide around like that?

I'd like the video 3x if i could, one just is'nt enough

Ngl this really shouldn’t have as high of a level requirement as it does. It should be unlocked before the actual Bolter itself as it just feels so underwhelming compared to the revolver, which you not only get much earlier but are likely to keep as it puts things down faster, more accurately, and can penetrate targets which leads to extremely ammo-efficient picks. Sure, the bolt-pistol has more ammo and a pretty sweet reload animation, but everything else it can do, the revolver simply does better, which is kind of a shame because it’s a friggin BOLT-PISTOL.

I do wish they would buff the Bolt Pistol to the same performance as the Stub Revolver...in no circumstances that a Bolt pistol cant do collateral kills but the Stub Revolver can

I don't like the pistol i prefer the feeling of the bolt pistol in my hand :)

I feel like every new weapon they present to ANY game should start off as broken and good, just so the playerbase gets a feel for it. Then they can "balance" it out to be at the same level as everything else. 😊

Dude, I donno who you trying to fool, but this 100% not auric mission. On auric missions there are at least 10-12 muchingunners spawn, at least 2-3 mutants and 3-4 snipers at once, here you have like... 3% mobs from usual. WTF is this?

how do you play offline/solo?
