To put it into perspective bolter rounds are rocket propeled charges that detonate and they are 19mm according to lore. A .50 cal bullet converted into the same measurement is only 12ish mm. So youre basically carrying around a machine gun that shoots explosives bigger than the gun that shoots anti vehicle rounds. The weapons are insane. Its just so is everything else
So as someone who plays Tyranids on the tabletop the mysteriously appearing bones are probably a Tyranid heavy weapon known as a barbed strangler only wield able by the medium sized stand upright guys known as warriors
Unsure if they will see this or if it has been explained before; but you just explained one of the biggest Mechanics of the game everyone hated - Bolt Guns being uber nerfed. A Bolt Gun fires roughly SODA CAN sized projectiles - if not larger - that are designed for absolute penetration. When the projectile is inside of the target after impact, it then Explodes. So a BOLT in this case is like a Soda Can sized Grenade than an actual Fire Arm round/Bullet. You will see later in the game that there are a kind of uber weak enemy that if you were to use any of the Bolt Weapons on: they just vaporize into red mist. That is what would happen to most things when hit by a Bolter Round.
10:58 Either there was a repeat here, or you've decided to live action the "we just said that" to screw even further with your future reaction selves. If the latter, I approve
"Imagine being a creature that your life is 1% of an objective" oh cotton, let me introduce you to normal humans in 40k. Their only role in combat is to try and overwhelm with their numbers, losing 1000's of humans to take out something like a carnifex would be an astounding success
16:16 to my limited knowledge of 40k, the weapons in the universe ARE ridiculous. To the point where in other sci-fi universes they'd be considered overpowered It's just that everything the humans fight in the universe are even more ridiculous
@@vincentthought6130 and if memory serves Bolter rounds are the size of cans of red bull that are self propelled, drill slightly into what they hit before exploding
Very much so they're RPG's that are mass rective, so as other people have said here they'll only detonate INSIDE a target. A normal human can only fire a bolter if they're insanely well muscled or it has been extensively modified with shock/kenetic absorbing parts and even then firing the weapon in close quarters can kill the weilder. But yeah it's that the universe is just insane. Hell the standard issue rifle for the Imperial Guard the starship trooper guys in flack armour the Lasgunn is capable of blasting a man in said carapace armour in half with very little effort or luck and the Lasgun is viewed as one of the weakest weapons in all of the warhammer universe.
19:41 Oh you have no idea how correct you are. it would take hours to explain why the technology is the way that it is! also. the "bolts" from bolt weapons are soda can sized rockets that explodes after slightly penetrating at surface they are launched at.
8:06 Guys, there are seed pods at the centre of the vine clusters. Shoot them, and they will go away. Depending on what bioweapon they're equipped with depends on what the Warrior Strain can do. The close combat varients are equipped with 4 scything claws for a blender varient or two scything claws, a bone sword and a tendril whip for a dualist, The range lads either have a fleshboarer to douse you in hundreds flesh eating maggots, The venom cannon for sniping you with long range blasts of a toxic compound that crystallises into shards harder than diamond once it hits most atmospheres and the barbed strangler which pops out a seed that aggressive sends roots in all directions think bamboo torture dialed up to 9000.
19:46 Yes! That's exactly right! The golden age of technology of man is over NEVER to be brought back. 40k is SUPER depressing, even the actual Imperium of man was more or less put to death in the 31st mellenia. 10,000 years later its not doing so hot and it was built on REALLY crappy foundations in accordance with most of the worst parts of human nature.
Josh: "Why do you keep dying?!"
Also Josh: **Hoovers up all the healing items indiscriminately.**
"I don't like it when they yell wars." Damn, they'd hate the Orks.
'Bolt' weapons shoot little rocket propelled rounds with an explosive charge, so yes, much crazier than bullets.
I was literally thinking to type this after getting to that part in the video, but you beat me to it! haha
as someone that knows 40k this commentary is equal parts horrifying and entertaining
“These machine people don’t understand machines” cotton. Yes finally her understands them.
Truly the tightest brother in the Imperium. "Brother, I am -pegged- pinned here!"

fun fact! : similarly to lictors, space marines can eat their enemies brains to gather information! also spit acid!

Cannot believe that PC gamer rated this game lower than Gollum, and they wonder why people mock game news sites.

Yah, they shoot overheated plasma rounds. The guns microwave the bullets before shooting them.

0:50 “Warhammer 40,000,000,000,000 Marines Shooting Guns in Space” is my favorite game
(Technically) 176 Proobs in and there is still no Fish or Not Fish Documentary 🦀🌙🐌🐟🐢
Then we must keep up the battle…technically.
Where that documentary cotton.
Cotton: This is some bullshit, I'm dying more than the guy who is pressing the wrong keys! 🤣
Can't wait for cotton to get the thunderhammer

I hope they do the operations 2 especially after more stuff is released for operations
21:01 Pause to process
Pro & Noob and Warhammer. This is gonna be GOOD 😈
My understanding of things is that Bolters fire missiles

Well whaddya know, there really was a skateboarder on board
8:26 No, that's The Orks
8:30 WAAAAAAAHHHHH
16:24 They also explode after shooting their victim, but Tyranids.
That is why Tyranids get specialist acid-virus bolts
7:18 Witch!?
