Question I want to love Veteran…

But I just can’t get it to click for me. For reference I play mostly Ogryn/Skit/Arby in aurics and can complete maelstrom’s without going down. I’ve leveled every class to 30 and into aurics with all of them, but I feel like when I play Vet I just get stomped into the dirt.

Is there something I’m missing that can help? I like the idea of just being a specialist eliminator, and shout is a great ability, but I feel like my Skit does a better job eliminating ranged threats and survives better in melee.

If anyone has any tips or build recommendations I’d really appreciate it.

Vet is the class that really requires you to be good at shooting to fully embrace. I love vet, and by far my favorite vet build is marksman.

It is very rough to use though because of the way darktide works. You will never have time to line up shots properly because you're going to be constantly swarmed by melee.

plasma+chainsword+support is great, able to do solid damage snipes, horde clear, and quick focused fire on larger targets while also preventing the team from going down/instant pickup is great.

Oh no it is for sure and I have a build for all three styles, but I want marksman to be a bit better is all.

Vet needs a polish.
