Squad coherency and teamwork is everything in this game. I played with 1zealot and 2 other veterans last night on malice difficulty, archivum sycorax, and we blazed through that mission with no casulties and no one getting downed, we finished that mission in 18 minutes. And we did it by sticking together the entire time. I think the farthest we were apart was for the scanning part of the mission, but all of us still remained in rifle range of each other.
Haha well at least for this map specifically, everyone that strayed from this area met horrible fates. I think they've learned to at least stick together to survive, and specifically at that spot too.
Trauma's left click can hit weak spots, but not the right click. Therefore the right click only gets the damage & crit damage buffs. The bonus damage the Trauma right clicks get from DD is still nice, but I'm mainly getting it to make my melee & Assail stronger. I play like a melee Psyker a lot with this build simply because I can afford to be more reckless when I have the shield dome and can use Trauma to stun all the armored enemies. If you don't want to do this and would rather play backline all day, you'd probably get more use out of Empowered Psionics for extra Assail shards.
Do you ever use BR? I came back to the game recently after playing at launch and psyker is so different now, but i like the idea of using it if I'm not actively throwing by using it. I dont *think* i am, i get a lot of special+elite kills that are missed by my teammates. For now I've got a BR Soulflame build with warp stacks but I just hit level 27.

Do you mean spamming the knife's push attack? No macros, which is why it hurts my finger if I play like this for too long. It's insanely high DPS, though.
Thanks man! If you did an actual speed run with PUGs you would probably get stuck waiting a while at a security checkpoint, if you don't get vote kicked at that point lol
@@xstreamdray i clip through the doors and wall, no problem XD we do sycorax in 4 minutes like this for example and consignment yard 3 minutes then wait 3 for event finish
L4D is amazing for the nostalgia factor. Don't get me wrong, I love that franchise and have invested thousands of hours into it, but it's also dated as hell. The hit detection in L4D is absolutely horrible, even worsened by the fact that the visual and actual hitboxes don't even match (i.e. the Hunter hitbox). That's a bad enough offense for any who's serious into shooter games to stay far away from it in this day and age. A L4D remake that fixes these problems can give Darktide a run for their money but in its current state? 😂

18 min is quite quick, good job!
It always suprises me how consistent players have been about grouping up in the same area in the end of the mission. Truly great stuff.

... this... was spectacular. Beautiful build... but even prettier execution. Fast... and very-fun to watch. Much respect. Genuine space-magic...
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
How does DD affect to Trauma staff? Is the trauma staff hit the weak to get benefit from the precision buff?

Got a macro running for slash punch?

26 minutes? u cant really call that a run anymore at that point its just a slow crawl XD wp tho
Thanks man!

I like the longer matches. Speed running is annoying. Why would I want less time to kill a bunch of heretics?
Hahaha giving off strong sadistic Zealot vibes there!

Hahaha I think it's crazy that players have found ways to clip through the map, that must make for some amazing farming!
This game looks like an even worse LFD2
