Auric/Maelstrom Kantrael Mg4 Infantry Lasgun
 Veteran Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

Notable talent choices / curio / perks / blessings / roles / explanations:

Talent choices:

• Confirmed Kill stacks with itself, each kill gives a buff that provides you with 20% Toughness over 10 seconds.
• Krak grenades give this build a much needed boss damage buff.
• Fire Team is more or less a talent tax for Reciprocity and Shock Trooper, while at least providing the team with a 5% damage increase
• VoC with DnH gives the team good survivability (gold toughness will allow you to negate the damage of 1 burster or 1 sniper shot or 1 crusher/mauler overhead).
• Deadshot and Reciprocity will keep you at @50% crit during hordes and having Headhunter on the gun almost guarantees that every shot is a crit. Reciprocity also helps your knife proc Flesh Tearer on almost every hit, as well.
• Despite Shock Trooper having an internal cooldown and working better on weapons with crit chains, it will still provide you with a much needed ammo efficiency buff and expanding the ammo in your magazine (less reloads during hard engagements + Mk4 Lasgun with Fully Loaded has 1000+ shots).
• Competitive Urge might sound like a bad talent, but from personal experience and testing in the psykhanium with bots I determined that @40 kills will proc it. So @40+ kills from the whole team during a hard engagement with plenty of specialist, chaff, elites, for 20% Base Damage (melee and ranged), means that this will have good uptime and utility.
• (Optional) Can substitute Competitive Urge with Demolition Team (it procs at @16+ elites/specialists, waves of specialists are your biggest friend) if you need more help during Melee Scabs/No ammo modifier.
• Focus Target and Target Down are a great combo for you and the team, it provides you/team with up to 25% toughness on a 5stack proc (good at avoiding chip damage) and gives up to 25% stamina for Deadshot, while also debuffing beefier enemies with a receive up to 20% more damage.

Curio choices:

• Stamina regeneration helps your Deadshot recovery and your knife, since the push attack is very strong against big targets.
• Block cost reduction(blocking is 360* around the player, but hits from behind consume more stamina) allows you to fight hordes / ragers / bosses safer ( plague ogryns 3 hit combo, or chaos spawns fast attack pattern).

Weapon perk / blessing choices:

• Catachan Mk III Combat Blade
• With or without the 5% crit and Reciprocity you can reach @45-50% crit chance.
• Flesh Tearer will crit most of the time, giving the knife better horde clear and safe damage on stronger targets (maulers, ragers, crushers, bulwarks bosses).
• Uncanny Strike buffs damage against armor and boosts bleed damage.
• Kantrael MG IV Infantry Lasgun
• With or without the 5% crit and Reciprocity you can reach @55-60% crit chance, meaning that you need only 2stacks of Headhunter to reach @95-100% crit chance.
• Unyelding helps with reaper, bulwark and boss damage, since you crit almost every odd shot and kill most targets (except flak armored ones those can burn down at 12 stacks and less than 50%hp, I use the debuff mod from nexus to see debuffs on enemies) in 2-3 shots.
• Headhunter helps with ammo economy, gives a damage increase due to the increased number of crits and their nature.
• Infernus mostly helps with bigger targets, @400 dmg on unyelding type enemies and more notable @200 against flak armored ones (numbers at 12stacks).

Roles:

• Allrounder build, good mobility and horde clear with knife and bleeds, elite/specilist killer since most of them will die in 2-3 hits and the lasgun is accurate, good utility and damage against armored units and bosses from krak grenades.

Tips and tricks:

• The attack after a knife special is a diagonal downward stab. The special attack (punch) can proc uncanny strike and if you use Lacerate can proc bleed on non weakspot hits (you got serated knuckles :P, won't proc bleeds with Flesh Tearer), it can also push poxbursters if you don't have stamina.
• With weapon customization mod you can put a better scope on the lasgun, I use the Kantrael Mk X one.
• You can stick a krak on the crusher in the front and stagger him into the others with VoC for a multikill.
• You can completely stagger a boss if you space your krak grenades, don't just throw them all at him, they can also make a BoN vomit out your teammate.
