Socket's META- the OBCH 1-hit crushers, chunk bosses.
 Skitarii Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

OBCH: the Optimized Booty Cheek Harvester

*phosphor blast pistol- picking off problematic specials, dps for bosses, quickly freeing homies from dogs/mutants if not in melee range. you can also cleave horde pretty well with it if the situation calls for it, but i wouldn't use this for that unless you're in a pickle. 

*blades - slicey. switch modes for rendy. while horde-clearing, aim head height to pop their tops. with brittle from system shock, switching blades for an armored or two mixed in a crowd isn't necessary if there's still a bunch of horde. you'll still slice through them. but with a group of armored, swap on over. 

*THE CLAW:

-you one-shot anything that isn't a boss with the claw. you can also cleave through horde somewhat with it as well as get a small boost forward if you need at some point. 

-for soft cheeks, just get a good, firm grip on the luscious lump and you'll see a huge chunk of their HP drop. almost as though they are willing donors to your booty cheek collection. if/when they knock you back, tenderize those cheeks with the phosphor blast as you excitedly skip back over to your future near-mint nurgle (or other softie) pooper pillow. 

-for captains/bubble boys, spank their bubble with your blades until it lets you in, then GRASP your prized booty cheek until it is freed from its rascally little mount and ready to be placed in the beautiful display you created for it. 

*the servo: keeps everyone slashing instead of playing on their futuristic phones for objectives and gives you the ability to pick people up/free them without people taking damage from hazards like fire, gas, blight, and horde. no need to pad scoreboard with fire servo, those nade pickups should go to a hive scum rocket launcher or something anyways. and feel free to drop something for noospheric if you want that. make the build work for you, don't copy it and think it'll perfectly fit what your group needs or what you want.

"whaaat, he's trolling. he didn't choose axial slash or probing strikes!" you may think. -SHHHHHHHHHHHHutup. you don't need those. you've got the blades for horde clear and for cleaving little armored boiz. hop in the meat grinder and press F on the crusher and you'll see what's up. you can honestly even drop slice and dice for more survivability if you're having trouble on that front. all you really need for this to work out is that goooood firm grip.

"BUT REGINALD SAID HIS BUILD WAS THE BEST AND MISTER E SAID HIS BUILD WAS BETTER, NOW YOU THINK THIS BUILD IS THE META!?!?!??!! WHICH ONE IS BEST AND WHY ARE MOMMY AND DADDY FIGHTING!?"  -first of all, i thought i told you to SHHHHHHHHHHHutup. ninth of all, their builds are what work for them. this site shouldn't be used to full-on copy someone else's build and hop into havoc expecting the same results. their builds work out for them with their play style and their team comp. the best thing about skitari is the way its talent tree is set up. it leaves a lot of room for optimizing the build to YOUR playstyle and YOUR team's composition/their builds. they're both right and wrong at the same time. my build is right and wrong too!  BUT if your havoc group or even group of friends you auric with is having trouble dealing with crusher groups and/or bosses, this build here will give you a good base-line to use and build off of. adjust accordingly. but don't mindlessly follow someone else's build thinking it's also going to be the best for you.
