Description
The Murderhobo Build
Based on Vror's Havoc Zealot https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9e8bc1e3-fabd-4adc-b4ac-f58e0dd62548/you-will-never-lose-havocs-again.
Weapons
I found horde clear highly annoying with the Maccabian Mk IV Duelling Sword and the Ius Mk IV Shredder Autopistol has pretty bad ammo economy on higher difficulty, it's a glorified flashlight. Also the Dueling Sword has superb mobility, so ended up with the Double-Barrel Shotguns. The Crucis Mk XI Double-Barrelled Shotgun (with Scattershot) is better for Poxwalker hordes, the Krourk Mk IV Double-Barrelled Shotgun (with Flechette) is better for Elites and Specials and mixed hordes in a tighter lineup. They both work for slightly different playstyles.
Tactics
This build excels at zipping around the map and stabbing enemies in the face and back. You want to build up Momentum activate Shroudfield and stab Monstrosities, Ogryn and Bosses in the back. You can parry Ragers, and use the Shoutgun when dense enemy formations line up nicely or you want to stagger a Crusher or kill a Mutant further away. Use Blades of Faith when you can on Specials and Maniacs to conserve ammo!
