Description
Disclaimer: I'm new to Darktide, so take my build with a grain of salt.
Summary
This is a mashup of ripthejack3r's Invincible Veteran and seventhcodex's Squad Leader builds with a few of my own tweaks/preferences. My idea here is to create a support build with a focus on survivability and a few nods to DPS.
Strategy
You are backline support primarily responsible for Focus Targeting and gunning down high priority targets (Ogryn, Ogres, Rushers, Trappers, et al.),, dropping Voice of Command during horde or elite fights and rez'ing when necessary. Your melee is essentially a last resort.
Tactics
- Bolter: This is your primary damage dealer. Get height, pick off high priority targets or thin hordes from a distance.
- Dueling Sword: This is for when you get cornered or you have to help thin the horde. Dodge after every few hits, riposte against high damage enemies and generally deal as much damage, relieve the pressure then get out and get back to your Bolter.
- Voice of Command: Drop this during challenging fights, focus on early. This includes ambush/hordes and bosses.
- Focus Target: Spam this. Use this on Maniacs, Elites, Hounds, Trappers, etc. Your job is to drop anything that might tie up your squad in pointless fights.
Grenades
Choose the grenade according to your preferences. I could easily make the case for the Shredder grenade. I'm tempted to go that route.
