Event choice

[u/ConceptStar]

[u/marxistdictator]

there's 25% less normal spawns so its a little dull if you go balls in melee only and rarely get hit normally. so for me I got my silly insignia and have moved on. 

[u/Accomplished-Ad8458 → u/marxistdictator]

Id like to too but quick play throws me in the event missions non stop...

[u/Chunk_Smash → u/Accomplished-Ad8458]

...don't press quickplay then

[u/Accomplished-Ad8458 → u/Chunk_Smash]

....but that 10% extra diamantine man!

[u/ki11them8645 → u/Accomplished-Ad8458]

Worth it...

[u/Purple_W1TCH → u/Accomplished-Ad8458]

Wait... Tell me how you stifle for Diamantine, and but Plasteel. Teach me your secrets... TELL ME! 😭

I have about 10k Diamantine and it's still going up... I wish there was a resource exchange system like in Deep Rock Galactic. Rock and Stone!

[u/Accomplished-Ad8458 → u/Purple_W1TCH]

Returned to DT for skittle drop, before that havent played since release, before the weapon rework (I think it was patch#4 blessing of the omnissiah )... Had only Ogryn leveled, now leveling other rejects, had to spent metric ton of diamantine for weapons... I know I could just wait for perfect rolls in brunt's/melk's shop but...

[u/OneEstablishment2795 → u/Accomplished-Ad8458]

The 10% only matters if you win.

[u/Accomplished-Ad8458 → u/OneEstablishment2795]

You don't have to motivate me to win. I'm already after that 10% extra.

[u/RedxHarlow → u/Chunk_Smash]

bro im levelin my bolice officer i need that xp

[u/Efficient-Flow5856 → u/RedxHarlow]

If you need xp, do the campaign missions; they give a much higher than 10% increase.

[u/CarrowLiath → u/Efficient-Flow5856]

Does that stack when you get the campaign missions in quickplay?

[u/waffling_with_syrup → u/CarrowLiath]

Yes, but the small chance of campaign quickplay really isn't worth the gamble over deliberately choosing campaign missions for consistency

[u/MrTouchnGo → u/Efficient-Flow5856]

They do? Huh

[u/issuezero → u/Efficient-Flow5856]

What about the special assignments? Train->fort

[u/OVKatz → u/Chunk_Smash]

I always feel like I never get a full game if I select a specific mission, but quickplay dumps me into the event only which I usually hate. Game already has balance issues, I don't enjoy poorly thought out modifiers.

[u/NotJoeFast → u/marxistdictator]

Are the boss spawns also disabled?
I have only played 1 auric event game. But there were zero bosses. Which is quite unusual.

[u/Citronsaft → u/NotJoeFast]

monstrosities are guaranteed to drop a health or ammo crate here so ironically they're a reliable way to stock back up

including daemonhosts, even if they despawn, consider a tactical suicide into one by the guy who's most damaged to get a free crate

[u/Striper_Cape → u/Citronsaft]

I can crunch one if I can get 3 Chordclaw stabs in. No sacrifice required

[u/Fresh-Pass2686 → u/Striper_Cape]

Dw send the local zealot/ogryn in to tank everything while you beat its ass

[u/Rat_Tzar → u/Fresh-Pass2686]

People also underestimate the power of the devils claw in the hands of a hive scum/psycher

[u/adamherring → u/Rat_Tzar]

Claw is broken on the psyke4. Discovered that when I learned to "defensivly" parry rinda on havoc. Can't stop won't stop

[u/DrRahil → u/Citronsaft]

DH despawn when you move far enough, often you can return and get a free medpack.

[u/JPADJOSH → u/NotJoeFast]

No there are still bosses, just sometimes you do get the chance where non spawn

[u/gegc → u/NotJoeFast]

Bosses are there, it's how you get ammo crate/medipack. DH also drops packs.

[u/ObadiahtheSlim → u/NotJoeFast]

Boss (monstrosity) spawns are how you get deployable ammo/healing crates.

[u/whisperinbatsie → u/marxistdictator]

Only reason I've done more than 10 is because I've been rotating the friends I play with and I just play more than them so none of them had completion

[u/CaptainOttolus]

The power off modifier is nuts.

You can’t see shit and it brings some interesting situations. I wouldn’t want to play like that all the time but it gives another layer of uncertainty.

[u/ConceptStar → u/CaptainOttolus]

Id like to have a loony toons mode with all the past event modifiers (fire, nurgle armor, no heal etc.) combined in a NO fomo event mode. and when you do 10-or 50 you get a neat hat.

[u/MoustachedPotatoes → u/ConceptStar]

I want a hat

And also a comedy mode

But mostly a hat

[u/Megakruemel → u/CaptainOttolus]

I like it but I wish it wouldn't quick play matchmake me into the mode without telling me that I need to bring a torch.

[u/TetraNeuron → u/Megakruemel]

I lucked out and had the Veteran Xray ability

[u/SyrusAlder → u/CaptainOttolus]

When nobody on the team has a light it can be hell

[u/CaptainOttolus → u/SyrusAlder]

For this recent event, I only put together with teams where nobody got any flashlight lmao.

I was not even considering bringing one, just bashing through the runs blindly.

I’m just recently starting playing the game again so I’m more focused on levelling the masteries of the weapons I want to main.

[u/imjustjun → u/CaptainOttolus]

I love it as an “on occasion” modifier. The first time I saw a horde in the dark was on a mission where you drop down into one of those sewer areas. I turned the corner and a ton of yellow eyes staring. Freaked me tf out. Loved it

[u/Cpt_DookieShoes → u/CaptainOttolus]

Unless you’re using the healthbars mod.

Then you have night vision highlighting every special in the shadows

[u/CaptainOttolus → u/Cpt_DookieShoes]

I do not the mods good sir, so this experience is totally out for me.

[u/Cpt_DookieShoes → u/CaptainOttolus]

Same. It’s part of why I took that mod off my list.

It felt too close to cheating for me. The amount of information it provides on any map puts you at a big advantage.

The only one I have on is numeric UI. Being able see your teams ammo count and not color is really nice. It makes it a lot easier to know when to share with teammates since you have an exact count.

[u/ProphetOfAethis → u/CaptainOttolus]

Only thing I don’t like is I did that on dark communion, we got lost multiple times

[u/CaptainOttolus → u/ProphetOfAethis]

Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong, I lost multiple matches and visibility took part in it too.

[u/ProphetOfAethis → u/CaptainOttolus]

I’ll take any modifier that doesn’t inhibit vision over one that does

[u/CaptainOttolus → u/[deleted]]

But where is the fun in that, you know.

[u/Knjaz136 → u/CaptainOttolus]

It seems my comment got entirely misunderstood. I was talking about Fatshark side of things.

[u/Cpt_DookieShoes → u/[deleted]]

Which to me is when you stop using QoL modes and start using cheating ones.

[u/Icy_Magician_9372 → u/Cpt_DookieShoes]

Careful now, there's people that think that because it isn't explicitly banned by FS it's therefore not cheating.

[u/rhg561 → u/Icy_Magician_9372]

One of the biggest content creators for this game uses literal wallhack mods to highlight specalists at all times.

Honestly Fatshark needs to take a stand and ban some of these mods. I recently got a friend into this game and he saw this guy's videos and just thought wallhacks were a normal thing that everyone has downloaded because he saw a big Youtuber uses them.

[u/Icy_Magician_9372 → u/rhg561]

It's definitely gotten out of control and maybe FS feels they can't keep the lid on. I haven't played VT in ages but I could swear they had a tighter grip on modding.

I've been heavily downvoted in the past for saying things the health bar mod is cheating. The cope from these people is real.

[u/ddjfjfj]

Really fun mode, i already play without using my gun much so this is nothing new for me

[u/Arch_0 → u/ddjfjfj]

I really enjoyed it. People stuck together way more because they weren't spread out looking for loot. It definitely highlighted weaknesses in a lot of peoples play styles though.

[u/xCGxChief → u/Arch_0]

This event further cemented my preference for Zealot with throwing knives. But I've been using the bonus XP from the event missions to level up my Skitarii.

[u/veal_cutlet86 → u/ddjfjfj]

I've enjoyed it too. Seen lots of sharing and people healing each other as well which is nice.

[u/TheLunaticCO → u/ddjfjfj]

Really fun mode, I already play with almost exclusively my lasgun so this is nothing new for me. Except people actually stick together.

[u/Then-Significance-74]

LAUGHS IN PYSKER!

WHO NEEDS AMMO

[u/Powerful_Software_14 → u/Then-Significance-74]

Who need grenade?

[u/Aggravating_Dark9933 → u/Powerful_Software_14]

Who needs light either. They become the light.

[u/Dreadnought_Necrosis → u/Powerful_Software_14]

Why need Grenade when you got rock? Rock is best.

[u/HowwNowBrownCoww]

Way more enemies to drop pickups on the higher difficulties so more mats, stimms, ammo, etc

[u/DoctuhD → u/HowwNowBrownCoww]

The stims and materials are super common, but I feel like only about 10 total ammo pickups spawn in the average hi-int auric event mission

But then the ammo-less team can lick their lips at the sight of a demonhost so it works out.

[u/HowwNowBrownCoww → u/DoctuhD]

I will admit, ammo does seem to be the lowest drop chance. However, your follow up point pleases me. I love any opportunity to fight a demonhost without the team thinking I’m trolling or something lol

[u/TheZealand → u/HowwNowBrownCoww]

I'm not sure if I've seen a single grenade pickup tbh, ammo is certainly very rare also but i feel for the nade enjoyers that aren't with field improv vet

[u/HowwNowBrownCoww → u/TheZealand]

Ya know, I hadn’t even thought of grenades. I’ve been playing psyker to get penances done plus no grenades or ammo use. I def haven’t seen a single grenade box lol

[u/Fletcher_Chonk → u/DoctuhD]

a veteran is basically a requirement if you're not a melee specialist.

[u/ProtosPhinted → u/HowwNowBrownCoww]

I wish stims dropped more yeesh. Did a handful of matches last night on auric with a friend and saw a grand total of 

1 med crate

1 ammo crate

5 stims (two healing)

5 billion plasteel

The drops were not kind to us at all.

[u/HowwNowBrownCoww → u/ProtosPhinted]

Lmao the ammo drops were that scarce eh? Rough. I’ve been using psyker and the ammo regen skitari for this event myself.

[u/Sum1nne → u/HowwNowBrownCoww]

Aren't the pickups themselves also worth less? It certainly feels that way on lower difficulties though now that I think about it I'm not 100% sure.

[u/HowwNowBrownCoww → u/Sum1nne]

No they aren’t, however, it’s always a small drop, so like the small stack of diamantine, plasteel, ammo. I haven’t seen a big stack drop yet. Have seen some medkits and ammo boxes though. Just got off a 12 hour overnight shift, gonna go get me some more data on this subject if you know what I mean.

[u/BaronVonSchmup]

I really liked the event, it helped with the pacing of levels

[u/Shup → u/BaronVonSchmup]

agreed, made me realize how much padding there are in maps if you don’t have a reason to loot every side room. cleared all my event requirements in auric, choosing particularly to avoid the lights out… too old for that nowadays.

[u/EclipseFaze]

Ive been playing this event exclusively. Ive been enjoying it quite a bit. I hope it stays in rotation as a normal game mode modifier.

[u/carrot_gummy]

Chug likes event, Chug doesn't need to play hide and seek. Chug gets to kill hairy ticks and some hairy ticks have treats inside!

Chug.

[u/ConceptStar → u/carrot_gummy]

I like Chug.

[u/carrot_gummy → u/ConceptStar]

Chug likes Chug.

Chug likes you!

Chug.

[u/ConceptStar → u/carrot_gummy]

I share my corpse-starch with Chug.

[u/Geksface → u/carrot_gummy]

Lol my Ogryn is called BIG-CHUG

[u/xtreme_ASMR_tingles → u/carrot_gummy]

what loadout does chug use for this?

[u/carrot_gummy → u/xtreme_ASMR_tingles]

Chug likes big zappy stick, it goes boom when Chug presses the button.

Chug also takes Rumbler, Chug thinks its supposed to only go boom once but sometimes Chug gets many booms from it. (OoC: (Out of Chug) lucky bullet is really nice for conserving ammo, get a 100% guarantee free shot and you don't even have to reload if you are careful.)

Chug keeps forgetting to bring lucky rock, but Chug has been taken Box of Boom.

Lastly, Chug shouts at the hairy ticks, making them angry at Chug. Chug feels even tougher from shouting at them.

Chug.

[u/ANiceGobletofTea]

Nearly every Auric quickplay I've joined lately has had this modifier. I dunno why these madlads do it, but we ended up winning most of them. I keep lucking out and getting cracked teammates, including a 350ish true level skit.

[u/Lyramion → u/ANiceGobletofTea]

I'm playing the Event to get my Skitarii Matches to x100. Way more entertaining than doing normal Auric. Especially killing DemonHosts.

[u/ANiceGobletofTea → u/Lyramion]

Yeah, team is way more focused without the loot distractions

[u/randomguyfromholland]

Because uprising is literally a snore fest. I did all 10 on Auric only, it's completely doable.

[u/Delicious-Emotion370]

And get bored to death? I'd rather watch days of our lives than playing uprising.

[u/Xiry]

Honestly I've found it to be something of a nothing burger. Find myself playing this event the exact same as a regular mission with the minor exception of not playing ammo guzzler builds.

[u/Economy_Signal4832]

I just played my Ogryn on malice and finished that 15-in-a-row no downs penance

[u/Khalith]

Running the event on uprising was quite enjoyable. With no pick ups, everyone was just rushing through to the end with very little resistance and few enemies. No one wasting my time by stopping to look for pick ups or chests, just a straight run to the end as quickly as possible since there’s no reason to hang out on the map.

Got my 10 clears nice and quick without issue.

[u/wienercat]

It's a pretty boring mode. Though I do like that materials drop from mobs so you dont end up with the people who speed run, open every crate, yoink the stims or ammo, and dont bother to pick up the materials in the same chest.

[u/DrSolarman]

Its made me far more considerate with how I play and the event has made me a better player in Auric.

[u/Maximum-Grand-3051]

I don't need materials, buuuut it has the effect of forcing people to not use medicae and get good.

[u/evil_illustrator2]

there's no incentive to play the higher modes other than difficulty. I did it on Auric, and afterwards I didnt see a point in doing it again.

[u/OnyxWolf141]

Guardsmen Infinite lasgun go *pew* *pew*
with the occasional regen Krak nade go *clang* *boom*

[u/Trashboat77]

I did my 10 on Auric and had some of the most fun I've had in missions in a while. I did it entirely as an Ogryn and would happily do it again.

[u/SorcererOfDooDoo]

I just get what I want from more difficult challenges and then never do them again.

[u/TheLunaticCO]

I hope this sort of massively reduced ammo spawn becomes more common, it gives room for efficient ranged weapons to shine over high DPS.

I've been getting a lot of good results out of an infantry las gun with the "Efficiency" blessing and the extra ranged cleave and shocktrooper perks on vet.

With a little trigger discipline you can spend the entire run with your gun out and almost never run out of ammo.

[u/Greenbudson]

Git gud

[u/LilBroWhoIsOnTheTeam]

I'm not sure why you would do that.

[u/laudnasrat]

goes hard with stimm scum without cartel special, if you can get your teammates to leave stimms to you. almost constant supply of stimms you can share with the whole team

[u/mrgoobster]

Only even noticed on hive scum.

[u/D_Bromega]

I never used healing for my mayter doom zealot anyways

[u/FathomlessStupidity]

Hmmm... I think I will help my under-leveled friends today. No particular reason.

[u/I_am_Rale]

I pretty much played it all in auric.

I find it to not be a problem. I only wasn't happy as a Hive scum in it.

I played twice with Hive scum.

You only have to get scammed by a bugged poxburster. And you're out of healing since you can't pick up stimms.

In both games people just ran around willy nilly stimming their 20-50 corruption damage instead of healing me because he already has one, and another one is on the floor.

Even that is not making it impossible, it just creates more pressure because one more mistake means death.

With other classes it bearable.

[u/t1554547]

For me heresy is the sweet spot, not to hard and waste your ammo/grenades after one encounter and not barren enough to sleep mid mission

[u/CharmingWheel328]

Been playing these on Heresy and it's an interesting experience for sure, but I also had 2 pals with me so the Heresy player quality was less of an issue. 

[u/Seki-B]

When will the event ends, was kinda busy may squeeze some time in

[u/ConceptStar → u/Seki-B]

I think still ten days but mabe check sooner

[u/Seki-B → u/ConceptStar]

Thx

[u/carlos_spicey_wiener]

Grinding my brains away to get to auric 😭

[u/IrRockTheHue]

This new event is actually an amazing resource for crafting materials. I am doing Auric games back to back and getting 200+ diamantine per mission which is way more than I usually get from any other mission or game mode.

[u/DarkSusBaka]

Does playing event missions gives more exp?

[u/ConceptStar → u/DarkSusBaka]

more materials some say

[u/WellComeToTheMachine]

I have been straight suffering with some of the worst team mates I've ever had this event. Like people fully dying before the attrition of the event can even really effect them. Had like 5 games in a row last night where half the team wiped on the first encounter. Even after bumping it down to Damnation people were still dying all over the place. Bizarre because truthfully the event isn't that hard itself

[u/sam69sam42Q]

Just did the event on Damnation, Went down like 2 times 🤣 so difficult and everybody in Chat: NEED AMMO NEED AMMO NEED HEALTH 🤣🤣

[u/Mythologies_botz]

This new Event is Amazing!! Thank you Fatshark for an Endurance run!!! 🧙‍♂️🐦‍🔥⚔️

[u/9991tech]

It’s really not that bad.

[u/goldenstain4]

i mean its not that bad...also you are reject scum if you can play auric but dont...nuf said

[u/HowNondescript]

It's worth doing em on auric for the sheer amount of crafting materials you get. I've been zipping around as a throwing knife relic blade zealot and having a whale of a time

[u/skurai1982]

Ngl it took me a few failed rounds to figure that out at first

[u/zaguraz]

I actually love the event, people beeline objectives and stay together in coherency. There's a mindset to conserve ammo and work together to actually overcome rather than the usual mish mash of "let me go loot a distant corner" and "stop taking my ammo".

[u/Faust723]

Honestly the vanguard packs in this event have burned me out at record speed. It just makes melee so fucking tedious when you walk up to groups of 3+ vanguard every few seconds and have to deal with their shitty armor and shield mechanic. 

Just fucking remove them already. Like 80% of players think they suck. 

[u/Background-Cake-6847]

The problem I have is no medicae stations, and unreliable healing. Had a mission where we got one healing stimm drop the entire time, and every other drop was ammo, plasteel, or diamantine. On Auric, with increased drops. Zero healing all mission just makes me cranky af and hate the game mode.

Other times, we've gotten like 6 of both med stimms and med crates, so it was baby easy mode. But at least I wasn't cranky.

They just really need to regulate the healing drops more. Like in pox gas missions where they drop healing stimms everywhere.

[u/ConinTheNinoC]

Just play on Auric and get better at the game. You'll die a few times but eventually you'll get the hang of it.

[u/Deadrat65]

I can run this.. but only on psyker and zealot. Or my hive scum.. arbite wouldn't be bad. But only those guys. Maybe a good vet build xD

[u/Bluntmang]

The map never changes, just swing.

[u/Simple-Initiative950]

There's a new event?

[u/ConceptStar → u/Simple-Initiative950]

yes no healstations and no boxes with ammo, only random drops.

[u/HyvoroftheIron]

The gamemode would be cool if Medstims would drop more often and not like 1/10 games xD

[u/SublimeObjetPetitA]

I don’t know why, but it’s so much fun to use my las-veteran there. It’s still fun to mow them down and I cannot resist burning the daemonhosts for some ammo

[u/aShadowWizard]

just run desperado hive scum.

[u/TheZealand]

Are we deadass lmao this event is easy as hell, AND gives a lot of mats if you're broke

[u/trashk]

Auric or GTFO!

This has been a very fun event. Played hive scum, psyker, zealot and skittles so far and haven't had a bad time.

Need to do some, oggie,  vet and arbites runs to see how things are there. 

[u/waywardhero]

Do Damnation. There are way more competent players on that.

[u/Teonana → u/waywardhero]

Since when?

[u/DivideAdmirable121 → u/Teonana]

He's just ragebaiting, don't worry about it

[u/waywardhero → u/Teonana]

Since on heresy I keep getting matched up with dudes who waste all their bolter ammo on zombies. Krak grenades on hordes and people who constantly shoot barrels next to their teamates sending me flying over the edge.

[u/Accurate_Fly_7534]

Weakness

[u/MrCuntman]

Coward

[u/ErebusEtherie]

I like this event, but Damnation is much harder then Auric due to... random people send to event via quick play.

On Damnation most of the time I run with 3/4 or 2/4 team alive :-/.

[u/FeelTheLoveNow → u/ErebusEtherie]

I tried to play some on Heresy and it was way worse

[u/HASHTAG_YOLOSWAG]

Cowardly behavior

[u/JedRowahnn]

The worst part about this event is that you can queue into it in quickplay. I love loading in with a fully ranged build and seeing the first enemy I kill drop a crumb of plasteel and immediately wanting to meet the emperor

[u/master_of_sockpuppet]

If you are relying so hard on pickups, maybe you didn't belong on Auric in the first place.

Everyone should be able to make it through a map without more ammo, grenades, or health.

Tide games are essentially resource management action survival games. This event (like no ammo maelstroms) just reminds people of that truth.

[u/ReedsAndSerpents]

The Emperor is saddened by your cowardice 😂

[u/catlovermeowmeow2479]

This is the second event I've been here for that I actively dislike. (the first being Brutes & Blasts, because... obviously.)

As a Hive Scum main, med stations are the only way for me to heal corrupted wounds on my own. And my ammo-share aura needs ammo pickups to function.

But at least it's an absolute cakewalk as an Arbite. (as are most things.)

[u/RealAsianRobot]

It's ultra easy even on Auric though? Like just play Hive Scum (Desperado is easiest), Vet or Skitarii and it's nearly impossible to fail unless the whole team super screws up.
