The Darktide Bolter still RIPS and TEARS - Veteran Clutch Moments - Warhammer 40k Darktide Boltgun 

Full build at 18:34. If you are wondering how I got weapon sights on the Lucius Helbore or this Boltgun, its from the Weapon Customization mod by grasmann on the Darktide Modders Discord. I have no ability to link it as it is a private Discord, and the mod is still being worked on. It may go public on Nexus at some point, but isn't ready yet. Thank you to grasmann for his awesome work on it

I so desperatly want fatshark to actually implement weapon customisation

The reflex sight makes such a massive difference for this weapon. While i understand that the weapon customization needs some more cooking, we DESPERATELY need the ability to add or remove flashlights and sights on the weapons. The Hellbores would be such amazing weapons with an actual sniper scope on them.

That first 5 minutes is essentially playing out the main character of an Imperial Guard novel.

The Emperor and The Holy Bolter protects!

I loved the MK4 sword that you're using when I played around launch. The heavy2 into light3 combo for crowds, fat heavy1 overheads for single target, even just spamming lights has some satisfying variety, and while the parry was bad (idk about now post-buff) it does bring the style points. One of the few melee weapons that felt to me like it was around the same level as some of the better-designed V2 melee weapons.

I've only recently found you since warhamer darkside came to xbox, absolutely love the content and I've learnt alot from you! Much love broski

Wow. Now that was totally awesome! Well done and I like that weapon Spearhead Boltgun was quite useful.

Agreed that it is a nice audio and visual representation of a boltgun (which fires tiny missiles sort of). Space Hulk Deathwing was super immersive and fun, but I don't think bolters felt this way.

I'm more impressed that none of the 3 people left when they died lol

I miss auto reload on veteran skill since bolter reload so long.

I just want Fatshark to add Meltagun and Inferno Pistol....

Use a bolter on my Inquisitor Thunder Hammer Zealot build. Very effective, and you cant beat the visceral feeling of emptying that mag

I'm not a huge fan of darktide, but that being said, I love to see you enjoying it so much. I love yours vids no matter what you play.

ammo economy on bolters now is abysmal. it does more dmg now in my experience but on auric you re out of ammo 1/3 of the way in a mission and if you re competing with at least one more guy for pickups you ll be starved all game long

FOR THE EMPEROR!

The bolter is still a lot of fun, but I just can't make them work past Heresy threat now, I'd rather have the ammo capacity from lasguns, autoguns, etc.

Now i will definitely be on the look out for the bolter for my veteran.

One day I hope they add customisable bots and solo mode.. It's all that's stopping me buying it.. I love multiplayer in VT2, but also really enjoyed the challenge of gearing my bots to be able to get through the top difficulty maps.

that first 5 minutes were amazing

I use Bolter with Infiltrate which gives me time to reload + 30% dmg upon stealth leave. It is basically the old insta-reload volleyfire (which I didn't really play much cuz it was kinda boring), if not...better imo. All the reload speed nodes help too.

Couldn't quite tell from the screen. Does the weapon customization mod make sights actually accurate to where the shot will land when under recoil, or is it still random where the shot with recoil goes when aiming down sight?

That last one needs some sad Boromir death music layered ontop of it.

First off, what Bolter is that with that recticle!?! And being 2 weeks old not experiencing the old Bolter I can’t imagine how much more badass it used to be … UnNerf The Holy Bolter!!!

Stupid question probably but how do you get the reflex sight on your bolter? I desperately want it

I would love to se a laslock gun as a weapon, fixed weapon like stormbolters during a sequence in a Mission where you have to hold the line as long as possible, hot shot guns, instead of the smoke grenades of the veteran? gas grenades

I'd love if they re-did the Veteran tree AGAIN. I don't even bother with the final abilities at the end of the skill tree and focused on being a Jack of all Trades kind of build: - Decent melee and ranged - Good at getting buddies up - constantly recharging grenades, maximum 3 Krak ;p

Will need to play this game again. Hope the technical problems are from the past. After launch it gave me several blue screens.

Wall of text. Promise not negative. Just my two (maybe three) cents. Veteran was strong before the patch because of Ammo Economy, and Pinning Fire. Ammo Economy was heavily nerfed, Pinning Fire was heavily nerfed. Then Veteran got further nerfs as a result of everything it used to have being spread deep across the three trees, and the values of said bonuses being nerfed. No Keystones, instead some very weak buffs (that don't reset with refreshes of Executioner Stance), the heavy point investment requirement to make Focus Fire remotely close to what it once was. Their Shout feels lackluster requiring additional investment to benefit allies, and Infiltrate feels like a longer CD, worse version of Zealot's Shroudfield, as it requires multiple points of investment (again) to make it have any bonuses outside vanishing for a slightly longer time. I do not hesitate to call Veteran the weakest class in its current state. While also being very skill point hungry. Compared to Psykers, who are almost better with a gun, have auto seeking near infinite Mind Knives, staff choices that out perform even the Plasma Gun (which is definitely feeling the ammo changes the most) IE: Void Strike dealing 1200+ to Crushers, and their Peril/Siphon/Destiny boosts making everything they do more powerful, not to mention no ammo usage with said staves. Zealots are whirlwinds of undying steel and flesh (as always) fully capable of using any ranged weapon, again due to how their bonuses are +damage to everything, and Ogryn's pack more firepower, survival, and melee capability all while feeling absolutely amazing to play (Heavy Attacks and Bleed damage, by the Emperor!). Every other class feels incredibly powerful and unique, but a clear negative bias can be felt on Veteran. Melee-wise, their exclusive Power Sword was too strong, however, in its current state it feels like one of the weaker melee options despite the requirement to charge it, more than ever making Power Cycler mandatory just to keep up. It is rather obvious that the balancing is trying to push things towards a melee focus, akin to that of Vermintide. I hope that the people responsible remember that this is a Warhammer 40,000 game where the ranged options are a part of what makes the universe so exciting, and unique. Darktide is meant to be a mix of range and melee, made very evident by the large numbers of ranged enemy types with very fast ranged attacks (not just an arrow), and while I understand pre-patch Veteran was too powerful for multiple reasons, as it stands now the class has been relegated to a mediocre support class at best, with a single super fun grenade. I hope that in the future, we not only get more exciting ranged weaponry, but also that the Veteran receives the same powerful Keystones as every other class to further enhance the chosen tree flavor. It is my most played class, I feel most comfortable shooting on it, and will continue to play it as best I can. I have roughly 500 hours in the game, at least 150 of which are Vet. I love to play themed load-outs using cosmetics and weapons that compliment both the build and the playstyle, I wish to continue doing so without feeling hamstrung. I truly enjoy Darktide, and this patch is mostly incredible (Revolver changes for better hit-reg!). I just want my favorite shooty-guy to be the shooty guy. One more time; Krak Grenades are the best part of Vet's update! I love them.

I main psyker but I love my bleed and speed zealot. The new talents are amazing.

how does your boltgun have a sight on it? never seen that and i have the same model boltgun..

1 Bolter shot opens up bulwark shield, instead of mag dumping into the crowd

what cosmetics/armor are used in the thumbnail? or are they a mod or not even cosmetics available in the game or something similar to that?

I wish there was a single shot main fire boltgun in DT

Is there weapon customization now? I haven't been following Darktide in a while, but that bolter didn't used to have a reflex sight.

Have you tried resetting your aim by scoping out and back in after each shot? Before the last major update to Bolters, it would reset the reticle and bloom, allow you to get 100% precise shots each time.

of course volley fire no longer reloads when you need it the most

aw man, bolters didn't need nerfs.

How do you get optic on the weapons in Darktide?

Plasma gun veteran video when especially now that with the shout you can vent heat more often

I was thinking of purchasing darktide have they changed the way you select missions?

How is it that some weapons that aren't the kantrael have sights? bolter, lucis, i'm confused and want answers. is it a modifier, just a random chance, certain variants?

Really like last clip ... shows that without ammo you are fucked over Even with vermintide skills from solo cataclysm well you cant do anything cause Vet is clown of the moment

One of my issues with this game is there are so many weapons that just have no use at higher tiers. You really have to be special edition to roll a heavy sword or the fast firing semi auto las gun, on Auric - there needs to be a general balance pass on a lot of weapons

I just started playing 2 days ago so maybe I’m just a noob but holy shit are you good 😂 That first clip was mad haha

How did you get the red dot sight?

How do you get the red dot sight on Bolter??

If you're using the weapon customization mod do you have to play on a separate realm like in vermintide?

Dude how did you one of those sight things on your bolter?!

That reload animation makes me feel things

Seeing a red dot sight on a bolter just feels wrong

What melee and ranged combo would you all recommend for both heresy and damnation on veteran? Currently running with a recon lasgun (the last one you unlock) and a devil's claw mk1. Also running the full middle skill line to have some survivability for myself and the rest

but I like the bolter, at medium difficulty levels you can kill a Maniac with a couple of shots, the small amount of ammunition upsets me, but the POWER really makes me happy😈

How do you get a sight on your bolter?

What difficulty is this? I could do this with lucius bayonet on some difficulties.

Wait whut since when you have lasgun sight on your bolter? A mod?

Can fatshark please implement the 5 most popular mods already?

You’ve done the 4 man Lucius Helbore, how about a heavy Catachan Boltgun volley Squad now? 👀

I want to use the bolter but that twitch it does while aiming really screws me up especially with the extremely low amount of ammo you have for it.

Story time from my veteran on malice difficulty… So let me set the scene, I play on console, I picked up the game like 3 days ago, grinded my veteran into the lvl 19 at the moment. Had thought “let’s change up the skills from Commissar (still sad there’s no bolt pistol) bought the equivalent of the Kasrakin cosmetic set (would also prefer a tempestus and a hot shot lasgun/hell gun to be added) and went all in with the Infiltration skill line to my ability. Went into quick play on malice and less than 10 mins in all my other teammates are captured I’m near death no armor of contempt (toughness) for the heretics. I run to my last dead teammates position and grab their med kit, heal up but no time for toughness I have 2 charges of infiltrate with the 90% reduce to threat level… this runs not over yet. It was also that mission where you have to go through unlocking the giant doors in the slums. I murdered with extreme prejudice the heretics guarding the first door then there’s two more to get through. I run the recon lasgun and chainsword (it’s honest work) and pop infiltrate after opening the first door, move like jaeger to the second door unlock (thank the machine spirt) slams that bitch. One more door to get through and my teammates are infront of it under heavy guard… this is why I had that sudden urge to go Infiltrate with 2 charges (won’t Big E do it 😭… and Alpharius 😈) pop the second Infiltrate while closing the distance to my teammates it ware’s off right while I’m in the middle of them… (I still have 10 seconds) immediately saves the psyker throws down two shrapnel grenades (running the 10% chance of double nade) so like 12 come out. While the first psyker is mad about not getting his toy in his kids meal and doing unspeaking things to a heretic I free the second psyker and the zealot (ya we didn’t have a ogryn” Then we proceed to fight our way through the mission. At the last portion of clearing the demon infestation from demon prince’s shreks swamp I go down right as we are fighting our way through filth waiting for extraction. As my teammates understand that I didn’t brave letting the run die they booked it to the Valkyrie and as I spawn back in tied and guarded by traitors I think to myself “If it wasn’t for my efforts we wouldn’t had made it… then completion screen emerges into view… just like on Septus Prime”

You're allowed to queue with that holosight on the bolter? Kinda busted tbh, but also cool.

Plasma Gun any different, was my favorite gun in the game when i played.

How do you get teams that don't just leave immediately after going down and either leave and join back or just leave.

As far as new enemies go would you prefer more demon like nurglinfs and plaguebearers, or more mortal enemies?

I honestly wonder if Fatshark will put heavy weapons for veteran in Darktide. Like the hotshot lasgun, yet again Ogryn is the one with the heavy weapons so…

I find the lack of a sidearm in addition to your rifle to be odd. But i guess they wanted to limit characters to 2 weapons making uou choose rifle or sidearm.

Wait...you can add a holo sight on the bolter??

Do we know if this will ever be on PlayStation?

fun playing with ya! - zsasz

I notice a distinct lack of pinging jn your games is there a reason for this? Or is it just not that important?

6:32 clutch fail because you were not familiar with boltgun mechanics. At 6:56 you could easily have ulted and sprayed down those enemies to res. You only need 1 shot (at least with high enough collateral stat, around 51%) to break bulwark block so unless it's an emergency, you should always interrupt the burst by ADS...etc. Enemies killed by boltgun make AOE explosion which staggers small enemies, which means that horde was easily manageable. Boltgun with over 50% mobility also has 4 dodges so there's plenty of time to reload.

Where did the sight come from ?

wait, what's this Bolter variant ?!? sight + stock ?

how did you get a sight on your bolter?

How long do missions take usually on higher difficultys?

Dude what mods do you have?

*Catachan sword rips and tears.

Is the scope a mod?

The Bolter likes to eat

Wish I had a sight like that for my zealot bolter! It's hard to aim with the iron sights.

Read. The. Pinned. Comment. Jesus. It's a mod guys.

whats good on zealot now? Is the heavy sword good?

What’s the mod for weapon customization

How to set up sight on the weapon?

is a mod? i say it for the red dot in the bolter

Ты где прицел на болтер получил?

Wanna love the bolter but its just too slow to be reactive,trapper moving through a horde,revolver,pow moving on but you cant do that with the bolter,same thing with a sniper or just shooters in general

Wait since when there was a sight on bolter gun

howd you get that holo for the bolter

My vet build corner stone: don't use bolter.
