Sharpest Shovel
 Veteran Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

This is my shovel. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

What started off as a meme to make the best out of the humble shovel (sporting also wonderfully meaty Bonk Bonk sounds), turned out to be a really comfortable Auric build in to slay the foes of the Emperor by the legion, by a shovel. Dress up in your finest jail rags and go put the fear of the holy inquisition's mighty bonk to the damned.

tl/dr Get stuck in, bonk everything in face, light spam for elites, heavy for trash. They bleed, no armor, all dead, bonk is best.  Snap shot crowds in melee, snipe all gunners and specials in the face. Frag clumps of spiky men for fun and profit.

Munitorum Mk I Sapper Shovel is by default an excellent all rounder, the dear starting tool we get. However it can be a real beast.

• Serrated Blade in it's recently buffed form is now decent at stacking bleed. Flak and Unyielding to maximize bleed damage.
  • H1-H2 have excellent cleave and stagger, which now leaves the bonk bonk bonked trash bleeding to death on the floor.
  • Light spam with Trench Fighter Drill and Weapons Specialist is lightning quick, rapidly stacking up bleed on tougher foes.
• Uncanny Strike strips away armor from all foes, which also improves bleed damage! Make even Crushers cry red tears as you beat them into submission with a garden instrument.
• Decimator for good 'ol all purpose smacking everything.
• The Special attack poke warrants a mention: Have a rager in your face? Poke poke poke them in their face to have them back off bleeding!
• Skirmisher is an excellent boost since we are running to melee all the time and Agile Engagement is quite powerful in a frontline build doubling up milking Weapons Specialist to the fullest.

Godwyn-Branx Mk VI Bolt Pistol the bigger bang new entry to melee shenanigans.

• Lethal Proximity for really big boom, which is also why we dump stat Mobility for max Collateral to stagger entire groups of enemies on each shot.
• Deadly Accurate to 1 shot headshot most elites with guaranteed crit from Weapons Specialist.
• Excellent for quick hip fire shot while in melee for area stagger and activating Weapons Specialist & Agile Engagement .

Full Shredder Frag Grenade grenadier package of Demolition Stockpile Demolition Team Grenadier & Grenade Tinkerer goes great with the Lethal Proximity blessing to get extra big boom to bleed the whole room. I played with Krak Grenade for a while after the Crusher HP boost patch but came back to Shredder Frag Grenade as a more general utility option especially when Uncanny Strike improves existing bleeds; so 1. throw frag or two 2. get bonking with shovel 3. get 120% rending bleeds in the whole room.

Voice of Command and Survivalist because the usual reasons.
