Zealous Vet
 Veteran Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

Veteran for players who like to go fast. Generic elite killer with melee bite.

Lethal Proximity bolt pistol for enhanced frags (the increased explosion radius affects frags), better shooter suppression. Puncture is generally extremely good and stacks bleed with frags, but Deadly Accurate could be funny since you'll have 100% crit chance with 3+stacks of ranged specialist. Haven't tested if it hits any notable breakpoints or does appreciable extra boss damage though.

Focus Target! is probably better than Weapons Specialist for havoc if you're the only vet, esp if your team lacks burst boss damage, but the lack of on-demand crits will hurt elite/special hunting abilities. As built this would be a great second vet.

If you keep On Your Toes , might be worth swapping the health curio for more toughness - should be easier to maintain Iron Will. In that case, maybe take Sniper Resist in place of Corruption resist to prevent instagibbing. I'm more comfortable having the extra health cushion but up to personal preference

Power Falchion Notes

• Dumping heat management instead of mobility is great fun but requires a bit more intentional activation and deactivation. Note that with Agile Engagement you can clear chaff pretty well even deactivated
• PF functions similarly to relic blade - activating and deactivating windows count as blocking, and it's always quicker to deactivate by swapping weapons
•  Both marks feel equally usable / good but I'm not an expert. Meta seems to favors Lawbringer Mk IIb Power Falchion but I feel comfier with the Aridin Mk I Power Falchion - its CC doesn't require block cancelling and all hits are extremely horizontal so it's easier to proc weakspot blessings imo. Single-target rotation feels a bit slower though

• Crowd control rotations

  *  Lawbringer Mk IIb 

    - H1 -> L2 -> L3 -> block cancel -> H1 ...

    - H1 -> L2 -> H1...

    - Push attack -> L2 -> L3 -> block cancel

  * Aridin Mk I

    - L1 -> L2 -> H3 -> L2 -> H3 ...

    - Push -> L2 -> H3 ...

• Single target rotations

  * Lawbringer

    - L1 -> H2 -> L1...

  * Aridin

    - Push attack -> L3 ...

    - H1 -> H2 -> L3 -> H1...

    - For Lighter targets:  L1 -> H2 -> L3 -> L1/H1 ...

Alternative talent choices

•  Swap Grenadier and the On Your Toes keystone mod for the left bottom side tree node Precision Strikes (30% headshot damage)

  - Losing On Your Toes means less opportunity to keep your toughness topped off to keep Iron Will active, so it's probably worse for havocs

  - Another variation if you want to knifemax instead of power falchion: remove Only In Death Does Duty End and replace it with Serrated Blade . probably not suitable for havoc but it's a ton of fun for anything less serious. Swap the very bottom middle +25 toughness node for the adjacent Rending Strikes to lean even further into glass cannon

• Can swap something out for Out for Blood for greater toughness sustain
