Stylish Melee build with No reload Galvanic Rifle
 Skitarii Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

About Build

The build is suitable for both Havoc and other difficulty levels (with some reservations). Specifically, I play on average 30-35 Havoс, but I think at 40 the difference won’t be big.

The main distinguishing feature of this build is its versatility and ability to cover all necessary enemies in the game. But with a style! 

It's no secret that Branx Mk XI Paired Transonic Blades  and Branx Mk CV Galvanic Rifle are the most aesthetically pleasing weapons in the game today. So this build allows you to combine practicality with pleasure.

Galvanic Rifle

Overall, this is more of a melee build (mostly 70%), but the Branx Mk CV Galvanic Rifle plays a significant role here as well.  The lack of reload time due to the Gunsmith talent allows us to save a huge amount of time.  The only thing you'll have to get used to is not pressing the R button. The weapon itself, with Opening Salvo and Pinpointing target , has excellent damage, easily penetrating almost all Specialists and Elites, so one magazine is enough to annihilate the problem from afar and immediately hang it on your back, taking the blades. After a few seconds of close combat, voila, we have a full magazine again, just right for picking off new Specialists. There is plenty of ammo even in Havoc, but it might take a little getting used to. 

Chordclaw

When it comes to crushers, bosses, and monstrosities, we have our favorite Chordclaw Strike with 3 Probing Strikes. The build allows you to build up capacity very quickly, so you don't have to be afraid to use charges. I'd even say it's recommended to use them as often as possible, as it increases the damage output of the Moebian Conductor talent.  Due to Voltaic Restoration , you can even occasionally claw into a crowd or anything else if your toughness gets a little low.

Transonic Blades

I hope you already know that Branx Mk XI Paired Transonic Blades have two modes.
As for the crowd, the wide swings of the blades cover it quite well. Another mode is great at cutting down the elite. 

Now on to things that are a little more complex: Deadly Frequencies blessing on transonic blades is very good if you know how to use it. The next 3 attacks after changing the mode will do as much as 30% damage! It also obliges us to look stylish (the most important feature).

Some talents and tweaks

Ablative Wards talent. Many people often underestimate it. I think this is a tier S talent on Havoc. Since we mostly fight in melee combat, we are just a walking terminator with it. Key Points: You are no longer afraid of the belly of the Beast of Nurgle, doggies (If it so happens that a dog jumps on you, your servo skull will still kill it before it can do any corruption to you) even the blights. For difficulties other than Havoс, this talent can be neglected and we can take the Artificer Servo-Skull. Then you won't have to press blitz at all and concentrate on weapons and ult. I completely understand that the Medicae Servo-Skull  is also very powerful, and it might be a good idea to get it. If you need it, I'd remove the Galvanized Coating . But be careful, otherwise you won't be immune to stuns!

It seems to me that there is still some room for thought here, some adjustments for yourself are welcome. But the basics remain the same: we chop at close range, switch to the Branx Mk CV Galvanic Rifle as needed, and then chop again. It has some resemblance to a Zarona Mk IIa Quickdraw Stub Revolver , but you'll agree—the rifle is far more elegant and pleasant to use.  I also forgot to add that the rifle is good at killing ritual monks. One bullet to the head is enough to kill them. This can be very helpful when you need to stop the ritual from afar.

That's all, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
