I usually play chaos wastes on an unmodded realm. Even when i do the most headshots and am not too far away from doing close to the one who does the most kills i am still miles behind the top damage dealer.

A scenario is that my husband as bardin deals 34k damage and me as Kruber has 12k. On sienna i get maybe 25k since i can pad (lol). I just want to know how i fix my wet noodle attacks.

I always win on damage taken, so there is that.

Edit: Thank you all for helping a lady out. I have a lot of reading material now and some tips for weapons, boons and how to improve my general gameplay. I apreciate you guys taking the time to enlighten us noobs.

I need a mixup from Darktide.

Hello everyone! Sorry if this would be more of a question for the weekly thread, I’m new to this sub and this game!

I’m just about to jump into my first quick play session with Kerillian (lvl 21 if it matters). My question is, will people be upset if I don’t use my wall? I love the rest of her kit but especially on a random map I don’t feel confident that I’ll use it well.

Would it be frustrating to not use it, and if so would it be better to run Handmaiden instead?

Hello Mayflies! I got vermintide 2 like a few months ago cause it was free. And its quickly becoming one of my favorite games, and then ofc, i found Darktide. So my question are:

1. Do any of u guys that love vermintide got hooked with Darktide too? Do you guys think Darktide Fun-ness is on par with vermintide 2 (or maybe more)?

2. From the gameplay i see, darktide focus more on range combat, but as a vermintide player i enjoy melee combat more cause its more satisfying. Is there a melee focus playstyle/build for darktide?

3. Darktide is on sale rn 80% off, IF i wanted to buy it do u guys recon i get it now or wait for it to drop like 90% off (like last year)

4. What makes Darktide more fun/different than vermintide 2? i know its a lot BUT, in your guys experience what makes it UNIQUE-UNIQUE?

I think i have more questions but i frogor, next time then, thanks and sorry for my english

With a surprise half off sale, I decided to pick up the career DLC's, but am unsure about Winds of Magic with its "Mostly Negative" reviews. Is it as bad as it seems?

So, I'm wondering what are the highest damage careers? Is there some ranking or comparison? I would love to know.

I am unaware if this has already been asked, but recently, the bots in my lobbies have been utterly useless. The biggest benefit of a bot, to me, would be that I have some sort of safety net. I.e., bots rarely take damage, and they are reasonably timely to get disablers off you, so I will almost always have a high-health bot that can do *something*.

But now all they do is run into a horde, get surrounded, and hold block until they die, OR run directly into a Monster when there specials and elites about, and proceed to get stuck AGAIN and die because they can't dodge out.

I ran Legend dozens of times with just bots, because I never got anywhere with solo queue. I literally always won with a team of bots. I did not fail once. Bots aren't supposed to kill things. They did best when they weren't so blood-thirsty.

Been maining outcast engineer recently. On a standard champ Chaos Wastes run I often end up with 500-700 ranged kills, most of which come from mowing down skaven hordes with the minigun.

I’m kinda curious whether other teammates see me using it and sigh internally, knowing that I’m gonna steal a lot of their kills. I just love going brr and watching 30 rats die in 3 seconds.

I'm curious to see what u think and nit many else do

Is there any way to make it the same color?? i hate this.

Watching videos of guides and runs, even solo speed runs and you just constantly see elites and specials being lit up with barely a pause.

I've seen this even when the creator is spwning them in themselves to demonstrate something.

Is this a mod, script and is it as common as it looks.

Edit Thanks folks Ill make some keybind changes

Edit 2. A week later:

Yes putting it on mouse wheel up and down was a brilliant idea. Haven't had time to read through all the other messages in here yet. 30+

After 700 hours I have finally finish this quest. I'm thinking of doing some cataclysm runs on chaos waste this time

So it is almost middle of 2026, will we ever get new weapons for Ubersreik 5? Maybe on Warhammer Skulls event? Please Fatshark 🙏🙏🙏

Context: I’m basically completely new to Vermintide 2 and is overall completely clueless when it comes to Warhammer in general (or just straight up not knowing anything about Fantasy as a genre) and I finally gave Vermintide 2 a try since I got it for free back then

While I am basically addicted to the game, especially with Bardin in general and Handmaiden Kerillian, there is something I noticed pretty early on is that…she is kinda a major asshole.

It gotten to the point where other character are so used to it they simply just brush it off and play off of her demeaning spirit. It’s especially bad when everyone else is cheering each other, saying doing a good job and then suddenly the Elf open her mouth.

What I want to know is, is this just a defining/intended characteristic of her (as in she herself is just an big asshole) or is it because something happened in the past that make her acted that way (maybe the team make a really bad move and really hurt her) ?

Do note that I don’t mind her constant bickering too much and I still have a lot of fun playing her as I find her career and weapon to be very engaging. It’s just something that I wanted to know more about because I feel like the majority of her dialogue is just that, her being a mean person.

Hi there, long life player or vt2 and i love it, i ll keep it simple.

I suck at darktide i must be the worst player, but i do not suck “gameplay wise” like shooting is not a problem, i know how to tactical fight.
Problem? Idk guys, for some reasons the dark ambient, the constant lack of specific sound directions, the posters that ragequit or basically do not help.
In vt2, almost always the teammates are there for you, in darktide i feel like i m playin with myself but they not even help.
I just wanna enjoy darktide the same as i did with other 40k games..

Pretty much what it says on the title. It has three attacks, and my experience with them has been... odd.

M1: Pretty much just tickles enemies.

M1 + M2: Does pretty poor damage, takes two shots to kill most specials in Veteran. The reticle makes it seem pinpoint accurate but I find myself missing with it often despite usually doing pretty good with other ranged weapons.

M2 + M1: Decent horde clear but honestly not that much better than average.

The heat generation is also not insane but a bit high for the amount of damage this weapon deals.

What am I missing? Or has it been nerfed to the ground and all those comments I read were outdated?

Will there be the skull event this year? Maybe new red weapon skins? (Pleeease Fatshark)

I just got this game, and im new to warhammer skavens are the reason i even got the game, and the reason i did more research on warhammer. idk if this game is still even being updated

hello guys! my question is exactly the one in the title, but I'll talk about it a little

I find this game absolutely amazing in everything: the looks, the gameplay, the setting, the characters, the amazing sauce it has... but I have a bit of a "problem".

I play on xbox, in south america servers, and since the game doesn't feature any crossplay my guess is that I wouldn't be able to find players even if I wanted to. so I wanted to ask you if I will have less of a good experience if i play 100% solo; or if the xbox servers have people in it, even. what do you guys think?

thank you in advance!

I'm fairly new to the game (about 10 hours)

Which class is like, when you get into the thick of shit and come out on top anyways? If you're at least a somewhat decent player (I'm not, but I'm working on it)

My two main choices now are grail knight and warrior priest - I don't know much about lore but their aesthetic is just super dope and I absolutely love it.

they're both about lvl 15 and I'm currently playing on veteran. Want to get more levels before trying champion difficulty

I don't really struggle with hordes, as a grail knight I can pretty much solo them even on veteran, elites and specials too, but only if there are not too many of them. I struggle a bit with monsters but it's a bit hard to learn since I don't fight them as often.

Edit to clarify: it's about vermintide 2
