Machinegun Veteran
 Veteran Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

PRO'S

- Shreds the enemy's backline, removing all their ranged units with little effort
- Hunt specialists and elites down, they won't be able to hide from you
- You generally have an answer for any situation
- Consistent damage + focus target allows for good boss damage
- Endless grenades = endless fun

CON'S

- Chainaxe requires a bit of skill to get used to, you can't just spam light / heavy attacks
- Large hordes can overwhelm you if you're not prepared or are taken by surprise
- If your toughness gets broken you can get melted pretty quickly
- Mobility is not the best, so take care of positioning

WEAPONS

• With the Chainaxe, use your light attacks (they stun lock) to take on elites and specialists. Kill a crusher in 4 or 5 hits to the body. Keep a few ragers at bay while you rip them to pieces. Turn shotgunners into mulch with one strike. Behead some dogs if you feel like it.
• When things get heated and you have a crowd forming in front of you, it's time to start swinging heavy. Make use of footwork and dodge whichever direction you swing, catching as many enemies as you can with each strike. 
• When things get REALLY heated, start mixing in your push attack, and make sure to hold down the attack key when you do so. This will throw out a followup horizontal strike that will double up to stagger on anyone in front of you, while dishing out extra pain.
• Use your rev attack for mutants as they pass you by, it will kill them in one hit, and also as a backscratcher for bulwarks.
• With the Braced Autogun, you will be cleaving through their ranged backline with little issue, and by crouching you can increase your accuracy allowing you to get rid of pesky snipers easily. In a pinch, you can hip fire into a horde to thin it out, and you still have good damage against armoured enemies.

TALENTS

• Your Focus Target keystone allows you to mark an enemy for death, which is useful when you want to keep your Executioner's Stance going, or want to melt a boss.
• Superiority Complex, Precision Strikes, Longshot, and Kill Zone all help your Braced Autogun get as much kills as possible, to take the heat off your team when you're being attacked at all angles.
• Keep Their Heads Down offers is great for keeping you in the fight too, as it ensures that enemies will not be able to return fire.
• Focused Fire is there to help you melt the tougher foes, like bosses. This with your Braced Autogun will allow you to mark any enemy for certain death. Aside from this, we have our Shredder Grenades that are boosted with the Grenade Tinkerer, Demolition Stockpile, and Demolition Team talents, ensuring you never run out of ways to level the playing field. Literally.
• We also pick up Bring it Down, which works well with our Chainaxe when we want to shred a Crusher or a Bulwark.
• Then we have some talents that increase our survivability, as it can be easy to get caught out when you're focused on mowing down everything in sight.

PLAYSTYLE

• I head into each fight with my Braced Autogun ready to take out any ranged enemies I see, to keep the team clear of heat.
• If I see a large group of Elites, Specialists, and/or ranged enemies, it's time to pop our ability and shred them all. If you keep the kills coming, by the time it expires you'll be ready to pop it again to keep the party going.
• For the larger enemies, such as Bullwarks and Crushers, be ready to jump in with your Chainaxe to tear them apart. Make sure to mark them beforehand.
• If there is a horde, feel free to throw in a grenade or two. This will clear the chaff, making it easier to get to the tougher enemies with your Chainaxe, or alternatively you can spray them down with your Braced Autogun.
• Other than that, stay light on your feet, and make use of your dodges. We have Iron Will which allows us to tank a few hits, but beyond that you will need to be fast, and most importantly, furious.
• Lastly, don't stray from the team. This is not a lone wolf build, and you work best as a unit - multiple talents rely on coherency, so make sure you keep close.
