    Game needs a codex section explaining all the icons and what the stats mean etc. We shouldn't have to find these guides (although the are massively appreciated thank you for making this) outside of the game to be able to understand how these things work. I'd also love the enemy types to be explained in a codex (like a game wiki I can access in the Mourningstar) and be able to take a look at the enemy models in detail.

    I agree. Coming from Vermintide 2 where they have made so many big improvements with the game over the years some of their decisions with Darktide really puzzle me and almost feel like a step backwards rather than them trying to do something new or different. The UI in vermintide has become very good and explains a lot yet in darktide it's worse than the original vermintide 2 UI. One of my big complains is the new revive system requires an ogryn to revive if you are taking damage otherwise it's interrupted. With the addition of a lot more ranged enemies in this game it makes reviving extremely hard in a horde situation and the downed person gets killed off faster as well it seems. I'd like to see it changed to somewhere between the 2 games. Revive not being interrupted by damage but you also take damage instead of auto blocking while reviving.

    The attack indicated by arrows is actually a heavy attack with extra cleave. The star-looking smash is an overhead strike meant more for single-target damage, usually with better stagger. The sword swing is a normal sweeping attack, and the sword stab is for piercing attacks, usually also single-target. This has been my experience with them at least.

    you are right about the intended purpose of the weapon ratings, as that was confirmed by Hedge in the official discord just this morning and probably at other times but... Many weapons of the same type do more damage even when the sliders indicate that it does less over all damage. This goes for weapons that are exactly the same type and model as well. Thankfuly it was confirmed in todays patch notes that they are working to rework or improve this rating and slider system and it should be ready sometime after launch.

I have gotten the same situation as you did with a higher weapon with a clear cut indication that it was better overall yet it performed very poorly. Hopefully they drop this "oh the same weapon and even same mark of weapon is different stat wise" shenanigans. It's basically a big gripe for me and possibly others as well.

    A few things to note, the bars are not comparable to other weapons. You compared the swords mobility bar to the axes mobility which you cant really do because because certain weapons will have higher dodge ranges regardless. Find a knife with almost zero mobility and then a eviscerator with very high mobility, the knife will still dodge further by a lot. After a ton of testing, the entire bar of mobility only increases your dodge range by that weapon type by about 20%, and im talking from an empty bar to a completely full bar. Another thing im not sure you are correct about the weapons rating having no relation to the damage, after some testing on multiple rating 400 eviscerators , a maxed out damage bar vs a completely empty damage bar only increased the weapons damage by about 10, not 10%.. just 10. (im hoping this is a bug though because currently it means that the damage bar should be ignored when deciding how strong a weapon is because that little increase will never change a weapons kill breakpoints) The gist is most of the bars have so little impact on a weapon you can basically ignore them outside of a few, specifically cleave targets, that one can actually being maxed out actually has an impact on your performance because of the increase to the amount of targets hit

    I'm no expert but I build around the Eviscerator. From what I gather and seems acccurate it means shredding armor and staggering heavy enemies while the special is active, i.e. after revving a chain weapon. A chain weapon with high shred cuts down elites better if you commit to the special attack but it draws from other stats like mobility to do so. (I think!)

    The overall concensus from the guides on steams who are drawing on what was found in the codes is that penetration works into damage on armor hits. Cleave is what determines how much cleave power you have, how many you can cleave through is a combination of your cleave power and the masses of the target. Armor targets have larger mass and big targets like Ogryns and Monster have extremely large mass that basically stops cleaves from going through.

    from what I gathered, each weapon type has all base stats. If no Bar is shown they are FIXED for that weapon type (all Catachan Mk3 have same block cost/defense). Bars show the range between minimum and Maximum possible Roll of those stats. Each bar goes from 0% to 100%. The power rating is the SUM of all these Bar percentages. you can think of Power rating as points the weapon can spend on those variable stats. Because we do not have access YET to the Base weapon stat numbers, and can only see the weapon-specific range as percentages, You CANNOT compare different weapons together since they might have different base stats and those stats might have tighter or wider ranges. You can however, competently compare the same weapon type with each other. this is easily seen with ammo. in the end, only life fire testing will work.

    What is really awkward is Cleave Target is a slider. Say you are trying for a low dmg but high Crowd Control build. Cleave Targets Should just be a flat +X targets. Because with a slider, im assuming can be tested, maybe a soft cap. IE maybe having 50% of a bar is adding 2 more enemies per swing, and having a slider around 60% is still only 2 targets, thus making a soft cap of 2 targets @50% and maybe isn't worth getting the extra 10% and instead keep one that has less Cleave Targets but more Cleave Dmg.

    Devs are extremely bad and lazy. The tooltips are soo easy to implement a modder would have done it in 2-3 days but alas it's a "live service" game... heck even better, add a Codex with entries for each stat type and effect + video to further show it visualy. But that would take a whole week of 2 hours of work per day... god forbid asking that from fatlazy studio.

    ​@@ravager990 Well, I don't know about all that my friend. The game is a lot of fun, and it has a lot of potential. The art design, sound design, gameplay, and "tactile feel" of the weapons and combat are all wins in my book. They obviously need to do a ton of work to improve the stability, load times, crashes, bugs, balance changes, etc. They also need to work on - like you said - a Codex or tooltips - or maybe additional tutorials to explain different weapon stats. On top of that they need to release new content in order for it to be a "full" experience. I will admit that this DOES feel more like a pre-release than a fully finished product. I appreciate your emotions, but I'm very weary of going full send on the negativity, because a) it's generally not very constructive, and b) if we want the game to improve and get better (which I hope we do, I know I do) then we don't want to dogpile with negativity, which could lead to the Devs abandoning the project. I'm thinking Dawn of War 3, as the most obvious example, but there are countless other games where this happened - where the response is too negative, the community so toxic, that the project just gets abandoned. Anyways, I hope you can find some fun yet, and if not, then perhaps revisit the game in a month to see if it's improved at all. I'm enjoying it quite a bit, regardless of all the issues, but to each their own. Cheers!

    In Vermintide 2, the game stores your max item rating, so even if you salvage the item, the next rolls will be determined on that stored max rating value. At least that is what the wiki says.

  • @EPiQ_cR

    I’m not entirely sure the rating does increase…I have weapons at 430, curios 85-120…and my store is consistently a max of 82 curios, and 390 weapons. I have 50 hours, and this was true across 14 consecutive store refreshes yesterday. Easily the most frustrating part of the gearing thus far.

    Love the sentiment of the guides you're puttin out but I really think it would be worthwhile (a) scripting your points and (b) double checking your knowledge/understanding with the Devs where applicable. I'm a relative noob but know that penettation is akin more to armour piercing than cleave. Your content has convinced me to buy the game and I love it - can't thank you enough, seriously. And if the Devs can't support you with some clarification specifics then more fool them as high quality content creators covering their game should be a huge marketing focus. All the best dude, much love

    Except here it represents damage potential rather than being the direct measurement of power Destiny uses. Having 300 rating gear in Darktide isn't objectively better than 200 rating gear in Darktide, it just has more stat points assigned to it so it might be better.

    If the item level determines how much goes into each bar (Stat bars) then why, when you upgrade the weapon and increase the item level, do the stat bars not increase at all? Now that we have numerical values in percentages...you can see without a doubt that NONE of the stat bars get ANY increase when you increase item level.
