There's nothing he can do dood. But real talk I want to like assault but yeah melee needs some changes. A number buff would be just a bandage to the deeper problems of melee like how there's collision for you and your teammates but the enemy has no restriction.
Not quite.. I'm usually soloing Ruthless with low level weapons to level them up. But you're going to need a good handle on the parrying system to accomplish it. It's all about abusing gunstrikes.
This gameplay shows the players high skill and assault iq. The thunder hammer seriously needs some more love shown to it. The other classes have way more effective tools. Other than some style points, the thunder hammer isnt lore accurate by damage numbers at all
Most randoms I play with have skill issues if u know how to parry u can really be the mvp of the mission Literally I was a lvl 8 sniper carrying on ruthless and my teammates were lvl 20 and was dying
I find if you're having trouble getting players to join a lobby, or you aren't joining any yourself, then just quit to main menu and reload. It seems to me that after a few matches in operations the matchmaking breaks and actually doesn't search for any other players despite claiming to be. If it takes longer than 3 minutes you know matchmaking has glitched/broke, so that's when you quit to menu and reload game. Do that and the matchmaking should be working again. Its like the reset from menu refreshes the online.
@gjl4101 yea if it doesnt say matchmaking and just waiting on battle brothers on the bottom right, do the game mode swap to get matchmaking rolling again
Why the hell is there a perk that gives 10% more melee damage when you have full armor?! When do you ever have full armor when getting swarmed and nuked from all sides. Smh
10% is pittly- if you do 15 damage, that's + 1.5 ah, yes, so effective... It's like that with tons of Assault's perks- they're like, 10% 20% of what? Not much, so it's not even effective, hardly any different than just not even taking it to begin with.
@@walkingDaLine100 It adds up since you can get more +%dmg perks on the same weapon, from the class perks, and also from Vanguard's team perk. It may not be very exciting on its own, but the stacking potential is there and will make a difference.
@@SFuruli And yet vangaurd gives everyone a 200% damage buff on demand, that's a huge difference. Except for 50% gunstrike damage ( which can't even be utilized on all units ) Assault has not much else in terms of game changing input.
FYI at 2:38 directly in front of you there is a support structure with a big red box on the right and a big green box on the left. In the corner behind the green box is the first spawn location for the armory data. That's why you didn't get it.
Need to see an assault class user doing well in the missions against the chaos guys. Assault can do pretty great against Tyranids. Its the chaos thats the big problem
Yeah it's very inconsistent. Sometimes you kill so many Minoris trash that you keep getting your Ult back, or it only stuns everything around you. Might just take the 20% faster Ult and call it a day for more versatility.
Tried hammer, decided i'm a chainsaw man for life. Its too slow for the damage output it provides and it doesnt have those mini gap closers with shoulder bash and leg kick
8.20 how to use skill ? You can tell me pls. I already up skill but I can’t use 😢. I use ground slam after i hold R1 (attack) why skill is not working 😢😢😢
Sorry, not sure how it's supposed to be on a controller. If you're sure that you're already using the perk and it's a bug, you might just want to make a bug report.
I’m guessing that the Assault has a hard time against Chaos huh? Because I’ve always noticed how Assault gameplay are almost always against the Tyranids over the ranged Thousand Sons and their BS Tzangoors.
Yeah pretty much. At close range, enemies with bolters and flamers simply keep shooting you while you swing away at them. So slamming into them is suicidal. Tzaangors with shields can take incredible punishment too and require a charged hit to go through thier guard. But charging a hit in a mob is also suicidal. As such, fighting chaos as an assault requires a very passive and boring playstyle that's definitely not great for UA-cam vids. It's a shame really. The devs will hopefully listen to feedback and make some adjustments to make assault a bit more engaging against them.
@@PapaJafari ….I have never heard such BS before. The whole point of equipping Jump Packs in Assault units is to NEGATE long range fire. The devs at Saber basically turned water into flammable accelerants. They better fix the Assault.
@cali4806 yeah this really. It needs a decent shake up bit one very simple change I'd say to make initially is a melee aggro range for enemies where they stop shooting and prioritise melee against you instead of walking back and shooting you. This would mean an assault could shut down a group of shooters by launching into as they'd stop shooting the team and focus on you. You'd still have to fight them. And you'd still have to think about timing and position and that. Bit it would mean you could play the way it was meant to be played and give the class a utility as someone who goes out above the main mass of enemies and shuts down groups of ranged enemies.
Yes and no. Thunderhammer feels pretty bad against 1000 Suns, but Chainsword personally feels great against them. You can stunblock chaos marines to execute if you spam light > heavy over and over. They make it obvious when they can attack again so you can get a parry sometimes if they break free from the loop. Tzaangors with shields are just a pain in the ass no matter what, you're better off parry baiting and spamming sprint attacks for gun strikes.
Assault is fun but good kill time so loooong compared to others. Tactical, sniper, heavy all kill at least twice as many major in same time with fast better survivability. Hammer time is fun but the class still sucks if compared to others Assault never carries. He is always allowing down compared to the options except many bulwark. Can't tell how good bulwark works
It wasn't intentional as I wasn't familiar with the lore, I just thought it looked good. Then someone mentioned it in another video and it turns out Grey Knights are very badass! I'm keeping this look!
Melta isnt completely OP. It's good for front lines but the backlines will melt you at long range while their melee majoris keep you busy. Assault can dive into the back and use its ability to regen shields better than any class to carve out the backline, ranged or close
@@meejmuas8686 I always stun the melees first with Melta then just roll to their backline and take care of them first, never had problems with it. Honestly I don't think Melta is OP its just the melee weapons are too weak, you need 3-4 hits to kill trash mobs like wtf.
@@xstreamdray mostly chain axes, lightning claws, and chainswords for melee. Anything that can look like or have shark teeth looking spikes at the end of a blade really. Their chapter master Tyberos uses dual lightning claws which has chain swords built in the palms while also serving as a power fist because the blades can retract, said to be coraxs siege gauntlets...badass asf

Ruthless, of course!
Assault def has its issues, but i'd be lying if I said it wasnt one of the most fun classes to play. Something about it just clicks in my monkey brain
Ive been having more fun with in pvp than i thought i would
There's nothing he can do dood.
But real talk I want to like assault but yeah melee needs some changes. A number buff would be just a bandage to the deeper problems of melee like how there's collision for you and your teammates but the enemy has no restriction.
It's been real fun. Until I get shot mid-air by a sniper enemy, then not so much lol.
Yeh I like it. Fk em.
Assault needs the power claws then i can finally show the enemies of man the power of the raven guard
*Happy Night Lord noises*
Lightning claws you mean
Or are you talking about the power fist
@@bluenicholasbf2142 ya lightning claws I was in a hurry when I typed that thanks
How do u get them?
@@Heyyouhello950 they aren't in the game yet that we know of
That's 1 helluva finish, straight out of a movie
Nice, so all I need to smash ruthless is weapons you can only get by beating ruthless.. sweet.

Loved that last ground pound you did on the Hive Tyrant. Extra points for style!
This was one of the most relaxed ruthless runs I have seen.

Literally I was a lvl 8 sniper carrying on ruthless and my teammates were lvl 20 and was dying
a lobby with 3 people in it? Couldn't be my matchmaking
1 other person and a Sniper Bot who uses his pistol 95% of the match
I’ve noticed having trouble matchmaking until I started going into campaign then switch back to PVE, been working pretty well

Getting full armor everytime you gunstrike the boss is OP
Likely a bug but nice while we have it. Assault can go toe to toe with melee bosses and the shield regen allows mistakes
@@meejmuas8686 it's a perk (lv18)

Thank you!
You could join my Discord! Although we don't have too many SM2 players atm as it's mostly my Darktide viewers.
@2:28 that warrior got jumped like it's name was Rodney King.
Hahaha I chuckled in that moment too.
Beautiful gameplay but I noticed you might need a little more damage on your ground pounds to kill the minoris so you can get the class ability regen
Yeah it's very inconsistent. Sometimes you kill so many Minoris trash that you keep getting your Ult back, or it only stuns everything around you. Might just take the 20% faster Ult and call it a day for more versatility.
Them Mf'ers run like Buzz Lightyear.
hammer man is fun to play
8:20 How did you do follow up it wont come out for me.
It's one of the perks that change the moveset.
Me too 😢😢😢
Yeah finally, time to show assault is a worthy class.
Tried hammer, decided i'm a chainsaw man for life. Its too slow for the damage output it provides and it doesnt have those mini gap closers with shoulder bash and leg kick
Totally fine, play whatever you want!
