Holy shit a true solo clear with a one-handed sword? That’s incredible, how/why the one handed sword over sword/shield or even something like great hammer, attack pattern? Granted I just stick to legend most of the time since I’ve never been able to grasp the nuances like you seem to do lol. Amazing video as always, and hope to see more vermintide and/or Darktide going forwards!
I'm using the Tourney Balance mod which makes a few adjustments to weapons and heroes in the game. The one-handed sword in this mod is quite capable of dealing some solid dps, assuming you have a good headshot rate. Crowd control is nice with the attack pattern it has since there are a few horizontal and diagonal swipes. The 4th light attack can break shields, so that's a bit of a bonus too. All of that combined with its more than reasonable mobility, makes the one handed sword a very solid option at the moment.
Really nice run, congrats on your first cata deathwish solo. It was a treat to watch. And nice to see one-handed sword being used! Also grenadier procs were really helpful couple of times :D
Onehanded sword is one of the most underrated weapons in game. Fast light with linesman. Heavy attacks with tank modifier, good dodge count and most of all it comes with base stamina of 8 and its shove cost is 1 compared to most weapons of 2 stamina per shove
Oh wait, I remember you now! I'm so sorry I didn't recognise your name outside of quick play, I don't play much Official Realm these days. We played the weekly event earlier today with a few of my other modded team mates, it was pretty chill.
Glad you're enjoying the videos! I've been intentionally avoiding using characters with stealth for a while since I feel like the implementation of that mechanic isn't well suited to solo content. It opens up a lot of ways to manipulate the AI that otherwise wouldn't be possible with other players alive on the team (it basically turns the AI off for the duration of stealth). I only bring this up because I attempt true solos to improve my mechanics and map knowledge, and I feel like using stealth heroes means I won't get as much out of the experience compared to if I played a different character. That being said... I'm not completely against the idea, and I do enjoy playing Shade quite a bit, so there's a good chance I'll get around to it at some point after I complete runs on other heroes first. My current plan for my next true solo is Grail Knight on Festering Ground, but I'm not sure when I'll be getting around to that with Darktide just around the corner.
@@SpencerBelanger207 Ooh I see, that’s sick. I checked the Steam charts and low and behold it reached its all time peak players when it was released for free, that and a lot of people are playing it now. Will it last? Who knows. For me though this game is an absolute treat and the characters make it so much better
Pretty sure it's because of beastmen. Hordes are much smaller for them to compensate for their higher unit mass and health compared to Skaven and Chaos. On top of that the special cap is 4 instead of 5 in beastmen areas on Cataclysm. It's definitely on Cataclysm Deathwish though, and that's obvious because of enemy health and stagger values, as well as the special spawn frequency and cap. If you need more proof here's the first 40 seconds of the video that I cut out because it was just me in the portal starting the map. It says Cataclysm at the top right of the screen. ua-cam.com/video/EH_hrI_7FR4/v-deo.html
@@aversivezenith5253 i noticed within the first three minutes of the video. Good plays and well placed shots. But it looks as if its on legend difficulty.
ua-cam.com/video/EH_hrI_7FR4/v-deo.html Here's the first 40 seconds I cut out from the beginning of the video because it's just me entering the portal and walking to the drop-down. It says Cataclysm at the top right of the screen when I'm entering the portal. You can also tell it's Cataclysm in the run because of the special cap. The cap is 4 in some situations, usually when beastmen are around. Otherwise the cap is 5 in skaven/chaos areas. Legend works the same way but just drop that special cap by 1 in both scenarios (so 3 with beastmen, 4 with skaven/chaos). You can tell it's Deathwish because of the stagger resistances of enemies being quite high.

9:00-9:16 was like some matrix shit, great job 👍
indeed😂perfect reaction

9:00 you're dancing skill is on point!
holy shit that was crazy
Well played! Also at 18:47, that poor gutter-runner. Bet he was just tired :((
That was fun to watch while I worked this morning. Like millions of others, I picked the game up for free on Steam, damn glad I did.
Kruber is quite the death machine in your hands. Sick gameplay...
9:00 OMFG dude!

Great run! Cool to see someone you recognise from in game get recommended by YT.
Cheers. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I recognise you.

@@TrixMelee That's all good man I didn't expect you to remember me from some games in passing. Yeah was ggs, always good to run into you guys.
whenever I start thinking I'm hot shit at vermintide I come back to this and remind myself there are levels to this game 😅
Nice job on your first Cata DW solo mister Trix, hopefully DT lives up to expectations and gives you plenty of content to post :^)
Cheers! We both know that most likely won't be the case though, as unfortunate as it is.
One day I’ll get there aswell, recently started playing and my goal is to achieve some nice solo runs in the future! Nice video, keep it up!
This was fantastic!
Holy shit you‘re a movement god, well played
11:17 crazy timing block
Hey! love your content i was wondering if you could make a shade solo video would really enjoy watching that
Glad you're enjoying the videos!

Amazing!
Where is he why is he gone we need him
Game still have a good community? Ill have to get back into it
They had it free for a couple of days and according to them 10mil new players joined so yeah game is still alive lol
I got this game because it was free. My brothers and I have been hooked ever since
@@somefoolishfool I got it when it first came out. But I had played so much of the first game I was kinda burned out. So nice to get back into it

Impressive Kruber!
What's mod do you have on scoreboard?
I believe that's the Ubersreik Five mod. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2804605796&searchtext=ubersreik+5
I'm starting to see why the Ubersreik 5 aren't canon to actual end time lore
I wonder, the number of enemies depends of how many heroes are ingame?
Nope.
how exactly do you play solo with no bots?
You can use mods to turn off bots. I recommend using this one steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1384087820
How come you're not doing Chiv2 content?
I'm not interested in playing Chivalry 2 at the moment, I just don't enjoy playing it that much unfortunately.
@@TrixMelee Dam that sucks
nice
Amazing. Try this on PS5!
I have never seen this few enemies on cata, looks totally off like it was champion, not even legend.
Maybe because it isnt a 4 people squad? Not sure but it could be a reason

Nice bro, especially with the one handed sword. Wich is one of the worst weapons in the game imo
this game looks so stupid, like you are hitting targets that are clearely out of your range
On lower POV it's not as noticeable. But yea with streaming in high POV some of the shots look like a wiff.
Against the beast men too!
This is not cataclysm
Tourney mod is on, so it's not like console cata hard🧐
@@aversivezenith5253 i noticed within the first three minutes of the video. Good plays and well placed shots. But it looks as if its on legend difficulty.
It is Cataclysm. The 1h Sword has good damage if you have a high headshot rate, which mine was sitting around 40-50% when the map ended.
