The issue i am having is until you get to the lvl where you can recharge your backpack on large groups, he is very useless to the group. Just dying instantly.
For my new people looking up guides, I'd like to offer my own take on the class. Respectfully from what the video says, Assault is in a good place. You are a melee class, you will NEED to learn to parry and dodge effectively. Charge up your heavy attacks, the enemy will either attack then you will parry and punish or they will take the hit, which will one or two kill them (in ruthless) and deal massive aoe damage (win/win situation). Yes, if you mess up, you will take a hit but it isn't as bad as the video says. Your jetpack can be used to wipe out hoards of smaller mobs, only use jetpack for smaller mobs, to gap close range enemies or to interrupt a wave call. Hope this helps!
Assault is my favorite and I agree, but what if the enemy does an unblockable? This was the problem I found with using the thunder hammer, you can't cancel your attack like a parry. You can't eat an unblockable on harder difficulties, especially not when you're surrounded and like I said, you cant cancel it. Its gonna kill you. Its okay in minimal and average, but its atrocious in harder difficulties. Sure its possible, I did it myself, maxed out Assault as my first class. But once I've tried the other classes, I started to notice how bad Assault was. The chainsword is the best weapon for this guy, I got to master melee combat because of Assault playstyle with a chainsword. But if Im using a chainsword, I feel like I'm just a tactical Marine with a jetpack (that you occasionally use), minus the primary weapons. Lets not forget Tactical Marines have a melta rifle, clears hordes and elites real fast on long range. And before anybody says that there's next to no cooldown for the jetpack if you clear out hordes, don't foget you have 2 more marines with you, who's probably equipped with a multi meta and if you're lucky, paired with another guy with a melta gun, I'm not even including frags yet, and both of them are eager to fire at the enemies as much as you do.
@@123nicanorwhat you described is a very specific group comp which you won't get queueing solo. Yes the melta rifle is insane and clears hoards w just one bullet at no risk of getting damaged. Im fully prepared for an adjustment to the melta (i also maxed vanguard). Aside from it, idk about you but theres something about using the same combo as everyone else that doesnt appeal to me.
@@MachiavelliD4 Dont get me wrong, I think every classes in this game are good, Its just the Assault is the worst one relatively. The worst of the best basically. Due to the skill required for it to work imo. The best part of it tho is nobody uses it on substantial or ruthless diificulty. Like I know this because try picking Heavy or Tactical on those difficulty and 7/10 times ur bound to be forced to change it cuz someone is using it already. And I bet there's not much ppl picking assault and thats the best part for me. Like I said tho, the problem is the thunderhammer (and prolly the power fist because its almost as slow). They just need to make the attacks cancellable with both parry and dodge and it will be a huge improvement.
@@123nicanori agree, more work for the same or less output. Im leveling the power fist and man... it straight up sucks, even at artificer. So bad it makes me miss the thunder hammer. At least i can charge it up and clear my surrounding area...
@@123nicanorI don’t have any issue with melta users as I typically fly in well before they are in range. Use a fencing weapon and use the perk for armor on gunstrike. Between that, dash attack gunstrike and executions you will be flush with armor. Basically just use your weapon for airial attacks and dash attack mostly, otherwise bait out parrys and dodges. Though I find assault a slog on chaos maps
Thanks man I appreciate it. Do u unlock anything different or special in this game that u can only do in pvp mode or no? Is there any incentive to pvp?
There’s no unique rewards for pvp but if you’re decent you’ll unlock rewards a lot quicker through pvp, for example you want a helmet that takes 10 wins to unlock. It’s a lot quicker to get ten wins in pvp then it is doing 10 operations
You have to spend on a green weapon to get the next tier matter what. If you're talking about the inheritance perks on a weapon / melee weapon then that is respectable but once you commit to upgrading that line of weapon you can't get that specifically back if that makes sense
They need to add a spear and sword combo weapon for the assault class The spear in the right hand with the R2 / fire key. It will do thrust attacks with double the range of the hammer. Charge attacks are “power” attacks have more range and damage (same lightning effect of the power sword) The sword in the left hand does side to side slash attacks with the R1 / melee attack key. Charge attacks are “power” attacks have more range and damage (same lightning effect of the power sword). The sword will do all the parries. The L2 /aim down sights key will ready the spear to throw, tap the R2/fire key to throw and hold it to charge giving it increased AOE and penetration (like the Las Fusil) When you throw the weapon you have to retrieve it, it’s put on a timer to return in 10 seconds (5 with perks) if not picked up, it has an auto (no button action) pick up The Gun Strike function- throw the spear and lunge to auto retrieve, if you perfect dodge the spear returns to give you the in Strike option No ammo - the pick up function will punish you for bad tactics and missed shots, Leaving you with just the sword to defend yourself until the timed return or perfect dodge. With it being on the assault class you can jet pack to the spear knock enemies down and retrieve as well
Assault is not boring. You are fighting for your life constantly. Forget about having armor learn how to doge and roll. You have no protection it is near impossible to parry or block.
Ty for adding the extra explanations on which to play when you're getting used to that class
That build is crazy, basically able you to fly all over everytime
Awesome video man thank you for the info. Definitely has been a frustrating class to level but lots of tips in here that will help me out. Cheers!
Yeah no problem thanks for watching once you get the endgame, things get a lot easier with assault
The issue i am having is until you get to the lvl where you can recharge your backpack on large groups, he is very useless to the group. Just dying instantly.
Perseverance and hammer of wrath don't work anyway, you still get knocked back or staggered
Thanks for the guide, and the Darktide music choice is awesome!
Brother it’s been 2 days 😭😭😭😭 take the mf shower
Shower what the hell is that?
Lmao@FervorGaming
Hopefully I have the game soon so I can use these builds!!!
We got a few bills on the way by the time you get your hands on it you'll be good to go
@@FervorGaming if the giveaway gods are with me probably if they're not with me then it's gonna be looong till I can use the guides XD
My issue is the terminology, what exactly is an aftershock, ground slam, and pommel strike??
Aftershock is holding your attack. Ground slam is tapping once then hold. Pommel strike is running or dash then tap
@@MachiavelliD4 The point of the post is that the game doesn't really explain any of that. You just sorta hafta figure it out.
@@tetsatou2815 it tells you what they are and what to press ingame when
you press the menu button
Assault is definitely the weakest class I’ve played with so far but a lot of fun

honestly i haven't really looked at pvp at all. will keep you posted when i ge tany info about it

@@hyperdoughnut3266 ty. I wish it unlocked lot more but still fun pvp.
Incentive to PVP is you can get coins pretty quickly, and cosmetics quickly if you’re winning matches
Does the 10% damage within 15 meters affect your melee too?
I have zero clue how damaged work in this game we don't have tools to properly test anything sadly
Hey brother if you get a chance somewhere down the line can you do a build on bull work
he's very likely next honestly
Can you respec perks? U showed relic guns perks, but as a beginner, should I spend on green items to upgrade weapons.
You have to spend on a green weapon to get the next tier matter what.

I really try to like it but for me its just a worst version of the Vanguard....
"fairly new" the game just come out two three days before you uploaded lmfao!!!
this dude sounds like the nerd emoji 🤓
Looks boring and repetitive... and thats not what assault should represent. I dont see enough hammer swinging. Except after a ground pound. Boring.
Assault is not boring. You are fighting for your life constantly. Forget about having armor learn how to doge and roll. You have no protection it is near impossible to parry or block.
lol there’s an assault build? I thought anyone want to play an assault might might as well just play an afk build
