First for the Grey Knights. Also, it would've fun to have a small GK squad appear somewhere on Demerium during the incursions. Even if they were just doing their own thing in the background so that Titus and co. would still have their own part to do.

On my first campaign playthrough I thought it would've been neato if during that banner last stand part Draigo phased out of the warp for a split second downing some larger chaos unit and gave Smurfs extra few seconds before Ultra Depressed Man arrives.

i just tried melee damage maxing with the knife and it was shit. vanguard is nothing without his aoe execute

>>563430631
I like Vanguard, but his issues stem from "you hyperfocus on a Warrior/Spawn/Rubric in a blob and then grapnel halfway across the room the second your armor is stripped" being how you're expected to play him. If it wasn't for the 30% Extremis heal, 5% Majoirs heal, and armor regen on grapnel use perks keeping him alive, he'd be permanently dead the second you fucked up a parry

>>563438153
>taking the 5% heal instead of the nukechain talent
His biggest issue is extremely jank hook targeting and getting his hook resets stolen by teammates

>>563439359
Don't forget his executes getting stolen by a warrior/spawn leaping into your path. I love Vanguard for the utility he brings but trying to go for grapnel chains is like having blue balls half the time.

>>563439359
I open with the grapnel to squeeze as much damage out of Bolt Carbine headshots as possible rather than closing with it

>>563439773
You're missing out on a second of headshots into just hooking twice to kill an entire brood without being in danger, I'd say. That is, when the hook targetting doesn't fuck you like >>563439491 mentioned.

>>563439359

Not in the controlled environment of a gym where the weight is evenly distributed on a machine built to be moved in that specific way, but lifting a mountain lion-sized vicious alien creature off of yourself when it's literal sole purpose in life is to kill and devour you, when you yourself are probably already starving and exhausted, is another thing entirely.
>and it can probably be easier if its an off balance creature instead of even weight
Pic related. It's weight would be shifting all over the place as it tried to get at you and there would be no secure spot to place your feet unlike the footplate on a leg press machine.

>>563494968
>It's weight would be shifting all over the place as it tried to get at you
Sure but that can work against it on a creature as oddly proportioned as a hormagaunt. Shit is weighted like a hog, it has no leverage just sheer mass, if you can get solid foot placement on all those ridges best it can do is slash at your legs as you blow its brains out.
>Not in the controlled environment of a gym where the weight is evenly distributed on a machine built to be moved in that specific way
I'm saying that weight is easy enough that doing it in a much less user friendly manner is still feasible. I see people put on way more pl8s than i do

Good thing I had my rebreather handy for this space walk.
Everyone sees the Instigator as primarily a Vanguard weapon for obvious reasons but I find it way more fun to use on Sniper. It's far more accurate with the middle row team perk (to the point where hipfiring at point blank is pretty reliable), has better ammo efficiency with Versatile Precision, and shits out damage with Targeted Shot and Exacting Focus. The only problem is I don't think any of his third row perks affect it.
>>563495468
I mean personally I've never had to fight a dog, let alone a mountain lion, but my intuition tells me that you're probably going to get your face eaten off if you ever find yourself with one on top of you and your back to the ground. Regardless, my main point was that Cadians are dead 'ard.

>>563499276
It's stuck with me my whole life that if you get attacked by a dog you stick a finger up its bum to stun it. I've got long arms for a good reach around so I will remember this strat.

>>563499276
>but my intuition tells me that you're probably going to get your face eaten off if you ever find yourself with one on top of you and your back to the ground
Dogs can be done, even big ones, if you guard your throat. Big cats (like gaunts) have the problem of retractable claws which are going to rake your guts out while still gnashing at your neck. Problem with gaunts is that they're not really big enough to do a lion/tiger/leopard type pounce that's half a bullrush while still just having enough body length to straddle your legs while standing on your face. Gaunts are just generally very short, from nose to ass, with small tails so they should be pretty fucked balance wise, especially if they are actually big cat heavy under normal conditions. Having the gigantic scything talons is a huge threat but its pounce shouldn't really be as threatening as a real big cat, especially since the gaunt is going to be stabbing right where the armor and guns are instead of lower. It's not a proper utahraptor scale which is why it relies on numbers and should need animal terror to win (like war dogs do https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becerrillo).
But yeah the animation where the cadian throws one off is cool.

>>563499437
>if you get attacked by a dog you stick a finger up its bum to stun it.

>>563504775
strange how my question stunned you, but the tip to defend yourself from a rabid dog by sticking a finger up his anus didn't.

>>563459783
If this makes it the Tactical and Heavy will get it and it will be ammo starved and come with no perks for either class.

Scipius needs to be downgraded as a Scout if he wants to use this weapon, he's still a full Space Marine and Phobos wearer but that simple class change will allow him more weaponry outside of his current Eliminator kit. If he's a Scout he can use chainsword, bolters, bolt shotgun, missile launchers like that one, heavy bolter, plasma pistol, power axe, power fist, power sword, Neo-Volkite pistol, Thunderhammer in addition to all of his Sniper weapons.

Is there a cap to how much time I have for a perfect parry? Like if I have the fencing weapon on my Vanguard and then have that perk for the extra parry window, would I have reached a point where it wouldn't really help anymore?

Why is it so rare to find players who will actually backtrack/advance towards a more favourable position to fight a terminus enemy?

>>563510626
Speedrunners mostly. The sage advice from the 'Tide games has served me well. In that you should never advance when shit hits the fan due to possibly aggroing ambient spawns or triggering more shit. Yet, all too often I've seen folks just trying to run to the next elevator thinking it'll solve the problem for them.

>>563506650
Yeah, as far as I know standard Fencing weapons have their parry window active during all active frames whereas Block and Balance have theirs skewed towards the start and end respectively. Fencing *technically* skews to the start as well but this is only noticeable on Argent Edge or on modifiers that shrink the parry window.

With those bigger parry window perks you're basically expanding the margin of error for your defense type. IE, and as far as I know, making 330ms window 40% bigger only makes it a 396ms window that's still not active frame 1. This is why I roll my eyes every time I see someone claim that Chains of Duty gives Heavy a Fencing window because you're still gonna eat shit if some tyranid meaties you on wakeup.

My scrubby friends immediately went down because there's nothing harder to deal with in the game than a lictor or ravenor up your ass while a neuro is shockwaving.
I backtracked into some tunnels, and it floated over to me so fucking fast and immediately started spamming shockwaves AGAIN that I didn't have time to deal with a single extremis before they all frametrapped me into a corner.
I've never seen a neuro IMMEDIATELY start doing shockwaves before. Let alone spam them one instance after another like that. It played how I would play if I could invade people's ops as a neuro.

>want eviscerator

>>563539109
We got power axe as a new melee weapon already. Just got omnisian axe too, which is just a power halberd.
That leaves power sword, power fist, power axe, and the o axe for power weapons. Shit, the knife is a power weapon now too if you count the heroic power gladius.

For chain weapons, you literally only have the chainsword and that's it.
They said we're basically not getting a chainaxe any time soon since they won't make it a power axe heroic. Probably never cause of their retarded place in the lore right now as "chaos" weapons, so that's a blow against chain weaponfags.

I think they owe it to chainfags to make the greatsword an eviscerator.

Not so bad by any stretch but SM2 had so much potential to have double of that at least. This is why they need regular weekly challenges with actual cosmetic rewards that aren't recolors. Even stratagems aren't enough to keep people interested to a sufficient degree.

You're thinking like a consumer. As a soul-less suit let me tell you that announcing SM3 and putting everyone on that will make far more money than a thousand years of development of SM2.

I told him he just had to love the gameplay. Well, as soon as I hit the cap for Doritos, I think I did 2 more operations and I haven't been back since. I guess I understand where he was coming from now with needing SOMETHING to grind for. Like, just uncap the regular money you get for missions and I'd enjoy seeing the number go up. Maybe the gameplay was just good enough I'd put up with the bullshit, but it ain't good enough to keep the game alive. This is no Minecraft or MW2.

with a minmaxed sniper build, cracked. omnissian axe offers really fun playstyles and is a really strong combat tool. turrets are really good for area denial and his double shield on execute perk is also a good team support perk. definitely ended up being one of the better classes. not to mention his servo gun firing gun strikes in between melee attacks.

What else is there to do? I won't spend anymore 3-5 hour sessions grinding siege for 3 (three!) crummy recolors for each weapon. Insane, but what do you expect from "people" whose entire existence revolves around misery and sharing it with others.
>>563628135
Arrowhead aren't sharpest tools in the shed but you have a sense they do something even if that "something" is making bullshit decisions most of the time (as opposed to Saber's spiteful approach). And HD2 has double the players (similar target audience btw) overall than SM2 which sadly is a commentary in and of itself.
>>563628135
>Maybe the gameplay was just good enough I'd put up with the bullshit, but it ain't good enough to keep the game alive. This is no Minecraft or MW2.
Yeah, I have similar opinion. There's nothing to do longterm, no leaderboards to "push yourself" and see how well you did. No fancy cosmetics or voicelines you can unlock (seeing how voicpack DLC went maybe it's for the better we don't have those). We're still limited to 3 players although they could very well make it four (pic related) which would be something at least.

HPI is the only weapon in the game I don't have maxed out, and the only time I used HPI was to hold in my inventory while playing absolute with only a HBP and stomp.

Fun to play but if he ever loses his armor he will die from a wet fart. He is the only class in the game without multiple layers of defensive perks or tech.

>>563646163
>>563645117
The duality comes from how situational he is. His turrets especially with the perk that buffs them are OP when you have them. Free infinite damage with a fast TTK on nearly everything. But no turret and he has no use case in that area.

His sniper is insane, even Tact can't melt certain bosses as fast as he can, but the problem is that its 'certain' and not 'all' bosses unlike Tact who can make any boss vulnerable. You also have to land headshots or else its largely useless which requires difficult positioning. However I wouldn't discount how strong the sniper is against hordes either because it can wipe packs of medium enemies easily.

His omni is fantastic if there are lots of small enemies around, charging through them + gunstriking as you go is infinite armor recovery. No smalls around? You're fucked. Fighting a single target? Its highest DPS comes from long range charging, anything in your face is a detriment.

His equipment buffs are extremely strong and you can become a monster with shock grenades. If you find them, and have a Tact to give you one every 60s (because one every 75s on a sniper kill is not enough), and if you're playing hard siege.

Its just poorly designed top to bottom. Its not a class that consistently provides power. If you brought the two most powerful classes being Tact and Bulwark you wouldn't pick Tech as your third.

Please buff it.

>35% less hp in weekly means gaunts get one shot by thunderhammer lights
This is so much more fun (and usable) its unreal

>>563638925
Because the game has this bizarre design philosophy where if you're not using the strongest attacks available then you may as well not be doing anything at all. Even ranged weapons are like this with headshots vs bodyshots, unless you're using plasma, fire or melta. It takes like over 70 bodyshots from the bolt rifle to kill a majoris; of course you should be trying to hit their head at all times, but the fact that a stray bodyshot is so negligible to the point where you may as well have missed completely is totally inexplicable.

It's 2026 and somehow it's not industry standard to allow players to mess around with variables to personalise their experience.

>>563718184
Personalizing your experience just makes me not wanna play the game. I like being presented with a challenge and overcoming it. If I could tweak the experience so I win, it loses all value. I'll always be questioning whether or not I actually overcame something or if I pussied out and made the game just easy enough for me to win. Victory only tastes sweet when I have to work for it.

>>563719658
not him, but nothing would stop you from stacking the odds against you to heart's content. I agree that the more options to play the game we have, custom sessions included, would only works to the benefit of SM2.
And most importantly, it was already said itt, but after all this time the game still feels very barebones because there's nothing to work towards.

>>563719658
>I like being presented with a challenge
Couldn't you make your own then if presented with the tools for it?

>>563719825
Yeah, but unless it's max difficulty, I'll still be thinking I subconsciously made it too easy.
>>563719913
If I beat it, then it's because I made it too easy for myself. When someone else gives you a challenge, they don't know what you're capable of.

>>563708983
I think it makes majoris a little too squishy but you absolutely should be able to cleave through minoris with light attacks and bodyshots.

>>563720020
>I'll still be thinking I subconsciously made it too easy.
Well, it depends on how you approach it. I get where you're coming from, but it's all about the mindset.

That being said you could roll some modifiers or look up what people cook up with custom setting and apply those in your own session. That's still a challenge regardless of who chooses the mods. The issue imo is the main man at Saber equates CBT with fun and obviously he just assumes everybody will too (maybe given enough time). I won't go off on a tangent with "muh power fantasy" but at the end of the day it's a video game meant to entertain so customzation of that experience would be great. Sad that Grigorenko doesn't understand that and there's no one there to curb his enthusiasm a bit. Just sayin'.

I don't want to catch anyone claiming that Sniper is bad ever again. For a while I didn't think he could hoof it in Chaos missions but he absolutely can carry his weight, so he's just this class that can perform adequately in most situations and is nigh-unkillable with his "that was fucking bullshit, I declare take-backsies" button.

>>563721746
Not sure who even says that sniper is bad. His only weakness is that it's worse than most other classes in siege because he lacks a good source of constant aoe damage, but in operations he's totally viable and good and has been since release.

>>563723859
everyone does. sure you can do fantastic things if you play sniper everyday like >>563721746 does, but unless you are some kind of performative gamer why would you want to sink hours to get t o that level in an abandoned two year old game.

>>563724093
I didn't even do anything that extraordinary, was really just showcasing how retardedly good Sniper is at reversing the typical bullshit the game will throw at you.
>why would you want to sink hours to get t o that level in an abandoned two year old game
It's fun. I've unlocked everything you can possibly unlock and all my currencies are maxed out; I just run normal absolute because I enjoy it.

>>563724797
>spoiler
fair enough, i remember when it was fun for me too and i played everyday. But these days I don't have time to practice and can only bullshit my way through absolute with boomwark.

>>563724093
Why not? Just like >>563724797 anon I have everything unlocked as well. I just play this game because I enjoy the gameplay.
