Battle Focus (Scan perfect parried targets) with a Fencing Chainsword is literally the best thing about the Tactical. You parry so easily, Target is Auspex Scanned -> Gun Strike -> 1 Melta Shot shot and it's Dead. I kill There is no way Precise Calibration is better. Marked for Death is also kinda useless, you kill those Majoris enemies like every 5 sec. so it's always on CD when a Extremis comes.
So I used this ALLLL the time. In fact when my friend said hey try Precise Calibration, I laughed, saying there's NO WAY that I'd move off this mechanic. But let me just tell you, having now tried it, I see the extreme value in it. Melta shots, sure, are great against those Majoris + that are up in your cookie jar.... but if you pop that Auspex on ANYTHING it kills shit in a blink of an eye. Give it a try: put it on, auspex a group of warriors, and try one or two melta shots. I will auspex a group of warriors, launch the bolt rifle grenade, and a head shot after that kills/puts them in execute. FURTHERMORE, go try the Helldrake or Decap missions. You'll kill the Helldrake in one phase, and you'll kill the Hive Tyrant (in phase 2) with one melta or 2 kraks and concentrated fire. It trivializes major parts of the game and I think it'll get a nerf very soon. I definitely agree that Battle Focus is awesome, and it's why I said it's really dealer's choice, but do me a favor, give it just one round and tell me what you think of the damage output. Your argument of having Auspex off of CD more because you're parrying the harder targets is 100% valid!!
@italianspartacus Sounds good, I will try it out. For bosses or mini bosses, it's definitely better. Also, it depends on your playstyle. I'm up and close, have 4 Majoris around me, and kill them with parry/melta in 20 sec. but I never tried to Bolt Rifle, I will lvl it up while using this build. Maybe I like it more cuz I do the same with Vanguard/Heavy staying close and Melt-away so it's something different.
@@forgedwarrior20Sadly I cant link my twitch link here and show you. But I spam Scan every time it's ready also with a Sniper you pistol HS into the swarm and have it back in 30 sec. I scan every elite and kill it in one shot after. But sure "save" your scan for 2 mins. to kill a Lictor that I parry and kill in 3 Melta shots. This is overall more dmg and less Elites on the screen. I tested the AoE dmg perk but no reinforcements with scan is better if you get swarmed by elites scan and pick them on by one with having to focus to the screaming dude. 5% dmg is good a boss but 30% more health back is overall better i think if you have a Bulwark/Vanguard that only melee who cares about 5% ranged dmg
I played Heavy for a long time, but recently switched to Tactical and haven't looked back. With the Melta Rifle I can still be extremely effective at add-clear, I'm not helpless in melee, and Auspex Scan allows me to provide excellent support for my brother who plays Sniper and does the elite killing. There was really nothing quite like hitting a Neurothrope with a +175% Auspex Scan and then the two of us burning it down without taking any health damage (on difficulty 3). Also Tactical has my favorite drip in the entire game. Not that the other classes aren't cool-looking, I just vibe with Tactical's aesthetic the most.
I have the opposite issue, I play Space Wolf on my tactical and none of the Roman aesthetic stuff works T-T. Totally agree with Tactical being one of if not the the best overall class though. It's a bit of a slog to get there, but once you hit tier 3 on the bolt rifle with grenade launcher, it really comes online
After trying to make some of my own videos, I have mad respect this dude. The amount of work that goes into making an in depth video this long is... a lot!
Been following you since BG3 guides and I just wanna say, I’m super happy that you have remained the same in your videos, perfectly clear and concise yet fun, and the fact that you continue grow is amazing, you deserve it, thank you!
Typing this before watching this video fully but if not mentioned in the video the tactical’s plasma rifle imo is the best ranged weapon in the game, and I’ve not even tried it on relic quality yet. Just on purple quality I get like 156 regular shots with this thing and can refil my ammo to 130 every time I execute a major holding my pistol out. This thing is a semi auto, precise, ammo efficient micro grenade launcher. You can wipe out hordes with it. You can snipe priority targets at range with it. Disable alarm callers with one charged shot. Defend yourself from a horde of small guys biting st your ankles. Soften up/kill groups of majors. It can do it all. The only down size is it’ll make your trigger finger sore.
I think the moat helpful guide you could make, is how to beat the match maker and get it to fill in the third member when you have a two man squad going.
Yep! The bots are freaking awful in this game. Infinite ammo and decent survivability is nice, but they're just so bad at target and objective selection. If you get a double Zoanthrope spawn on a class that's not great at range (ie. bulwark, assault) and have two bots, and you don't have Kraks, it's really, really painful. They also won't target sentries, and don't seem to understand objectives (in Inferno at the generator defense part, they'll just attack the nearest nids rather than actually trying to clear off the generator being attacked). I had been doing a lot of bot games recently (it turns out having cross play turned off severely reduces how many players you get paired with), and then after turning cross play back on did a Decapitation with some other players. It's crazy how fast the Hive Tyrant melts when you have three live players in the fight, as opposed to two bots. I will give a mild pass to the heavy bot. It's still terrible at target selection and stuff, but at the very least infinite ammo + Heavy Boltor means the damage output is decent.
Man I usually don’t like or sub to people I find while looking up class videos but you’re awesome man def gonna be along for the ride even after you stop uploading warhammer content 🤙🏻
Just because I've heard you and other tubers say this Emperor's Vengeance DOES NOT need to be an execution to get a refill. You can get yourself killed going in for bad executes. If you see a enemy ready to go but it's in a bad spot, just pop that sucker and boom full mag.
One tip I can give after watching the video: Use executes for I-frames. Executes will override any other input. So if you are slashing and you know you are about to get hit yet you are next to an execute, hit that execute. Buy yourself some time. Some executes stagger smaller enemies allowing you a bit of breathing room as well. Same as a gun finisher. Gun striking a smaller enemy can put a reticle on them and allow you to chain meaning you can get all of your armor back if you do it right. Abuse the finishers.
Just got my Tactical to 25, and I would say the bolt rifle with grenade launcher makes his melee near obsolete. I think the main mistake I made for a long time was thinking hes a melee/ranged hyrid, and closing to melee often - he isnt IMO, his chainsword just doesnt output much damage, even the 15damage max level one. Auspex, grenade and bolter fire will get you 20k damage on a Ruthless.
@@pennywise1682 yeah i definitely feel that, though i havent tried to plasma yet. Near infinite grenades at the moment is cracked. if i get swarmed in melee i literally just dodge back and lob them at my feet and it clears everything away. 2 grenades will even clear out a Tzangor pack, shields or not.
Honestly the people telling you that the melta rifle is better are not framing the use case of it properly. The melta rifle is STUPID good for what it does - it can even make harder difficulties easier if you have one. But what's important is its limitation: close range. It also doesn't do tons of damage to Extremis creatures (which is weird because it's a melta, no armor is too thick in TT!). You get a Zoan/Neurothrope and you're in a world of hurt if everyone runs out of ammo. That's why I say to focus on the range characteristic for Melta so you actually CAN threaten those things. In Ruthless, a pair of Zoanthropes, at a shitty time, is a wipe. They get their own auspex. Whenever you get hit by the "beam" they shoot out, it amplifies damage against you In Close range, the bolt rifle suffers. I prefer the Bolt rifle because it's how i want to play the Tactical. The Melta Rifle is amazing, but I just don't want to play a class that's so up front when I "main" Bulwark and Assault 90% of the time.
I will give a HUGE shout out to the accurate variant of the bolt pistol. On a tactical this variant is great when you are trying to snipe the small tyranid slime spitters or chaos snipers. Its also better for lining headshots if you have a sniper. Its also much more ammo efficient if you line up your shots. Accuracy also seems to affect recoil as well.
All you need is the 3rd row, bottom perk, and the relic grenade launcher and you're unstoppable as Tactical.. You get a full clip of grenades each time you kill a heavy, reloads after finisher and it takes 1-2 grenades to kill a heavy, and you got like 10-12 each time...
@@PapaFunDip Edit: You actually have to have the pistol equipped for it to work with the full plasma! It works but you have to get the kill with a pistol or while pistol is equipped then switch back to plasma and you got it! Not sure why its like that, but it's awesome still! I think the perk is intended to work with whatever weapon you have UNEQUIPPED, but it works with grenade launcher while refile is equipped because it's technically 2 different weapons..
A skill combo I don't see anyone talking about is what I use. Equip the perk which gives auspex on parry. Equip the perk which makes headshots instantly kill an extremis enemy. If you wait for and parry something like a liktor, it will receive the scan, then the follow up gunstrike will kill it instantly, since it counts as a headshot. As a bonus, you'll not have actively "used" your scan.
I understand doggos with treat addictions, my wife and I just rescued a 4 month old baby girl puppy, chat GPT said last month she was a Rottweiler and now as she grows it's now saying she's a german shepard, doberman pinscher mix. However she looks alot like a big australian kelpie and she's fast and wicked smart for a puppy, she's also very independent minded and rebellious but my money is on some kind of aussie kelpie german sherpard mix. Sorry for the non sequitor I had to leave a comment the second you mentioned your doggo because other than kids they are the best part of adulting.
Hey you should probably use the head shot perks on your bolt pistol increases gunstrike damage. Along with the second column 20% secondary damage. This allows for parry scan build to do rediculous damage with just the gunstrike.
For the team perks i actualy like the last one the most, more healing is very useful and 5% ranged damage isnt actually that much. Also i really like versatility it works really well with tacticals auto reload passive. marked for death also works really nicely with the marked on melee parry, its *chefs kiss*
Im glad to see a tactical video that isnt just use melta rifle its op hurr durr. Its really strong but not on the tactical. It has amazing add clear and damage at incredibly short ranges. The tactical has no gap closer so you are constantly moving towards targets and if you get a cluster of ranged majoris enemies like shotgun nids you are going to eat so much incoming fire that you then have to hope you face tank contestested health through with shotgun blasts. The vanguard has a long range teleport to enemy that synergizes with the melta rifle. The tactical has a long range dps buff and multiple incredible long range guns. Why not leverage that strength instead with the high damage rifles or the broken infinite grenade launcher instead of constantly putting yourself in melee range where you risk misplaying and dieing.
I'm sure there are use cases for the melta, but IMO it's probably a loadout three kind of weap (with loadouts 1 and 2 likely being Bolt Rifle and Plasma Incinerator).
@@jaxsonbateman it's incredible on the vanguard but it's a waste on the tactical imo. Tactical doesn't have the speed to always be in perfect position to use the melta whereas the vanguard has his grapple at 100 percent uptime. With the bolt rifle or plasma you should have zero downtime from shooting as a tactical but with the melta you end up with tons of downtime because you aren't always in range. Melta is insane just not on the tactical
Ty for this I'm a disabled vet only 1 arm and I'm still trying diff classes to see what I can manage . But I wanna master the tactical becuase I like builds that aren't per say pigeon holed builds
The argument for the ammo variant for melta is that you're restoring 10+ rounds with an execution. I've only had a few times that I wouldn't run underneath one and start blasting. When you're outputting that much damage, teams tend to have the supporting fire to deal with them.
The amount of grenades is dependant on magazine size and not ammo reserve. With the two magazine perks you get 11 grenades. Ammo reserve is just for the bolter ammo
That is false. It is affected by both and at artificer level the 20% reserve rounds up giving you 2 more rounds comparing to 15% mag only giving you one more.
Marked For Death has been great with Battle Focus the few times it triggers on something big. One of my group mains Tactical and he has gotten a perfect parry on a Ravener and I guess the gun strikes count as headshots. There was much rejoicing for the Emperor.
Im a bit confused as to why you go for maximizing the magazine and ammo count of the Bolt pistol. It really seems there is very few reasons to fire the bolt pistol, so it seems more prudent to maximize its damage and headshot damage, in order to make gun strikes more valuable. To just maximize its ammo count just feels like youre firing something feckless, when youd want it to at least deliver the few times you want to use it.
going for gun-strike, wouldn´t it be better than to take the bottom line for the bolt pistol to increase the damage done so you have killing shot more likely?
Also, your magazine (and grenade launcher ammo) refill is not on an "execute." You can literally just kill a major+ in any way. 30 second cool down, then kill one again. Execute assumes it's a particular type of kill. It's not.
I had planned on starting the tactical class but I didn’t feel it was great when doing the skills competition or while attempting to run my first mission with bots. I’m sure it’s a “skill” issue but I felt more comfortable with vanguard or bulwark
Question: Does the weapon have to be active in order to benefit from the perk? Can I take bolt pistol perks and still have my primary out and the perks from the bolt pistol still apply? OR do I need to be mindful of perks and switch to a specific weapon to get desired perk effects. Basically, do the perks for weapons work regardless of what you have out actively in combat? Like if i have an auto bolt gun and i kill, will it reload my auto bolt rifle or will it only pertain to the bolt pistol?
Question, why did you spec into stomp for your chainsword? I havent found much opportunity to use stomp, if im getting horded that bottom tree seesm to help with the contested health for knockbacks especially vs Chaos shielded dudes for executes and gunstrike. I never really get my combos high enough before i havet o hit a parry tbh.
Is Marked for Death supposed to work for gun strikes too or is it just aimed headshots? Finding next to no use for this perk using it with Battle Focus
Balanced Distribution is great for melta users like myself. Only problem is that my long range option, the pistol is debuffed as a result. I've thought about taking the third perk in that tree when i get to it. Anyone have any thoughts on how it performs with the bolt pistol?
Also while the bolt pistol isn’t the best weapon in the game I just wanna say it’s the only weapon that’s shoots as fast as you can click. I burn through Rubrics so fast with the pistol.
But only if you’re holding your pistol when you do the execution. Plus it seems to only resupply my plasma to 130(default plasma’s max ammo) but not full for my variant that can hold 156.
@@The_Lone_Outlaw you dont actually need an execution for vengence, ive had it refill with just a normal kill, the perk also dosent say it needs an executiion.
I love Tactical but the issue I have is that Extremis enemies seem to move away from the Auspex zone, am I correct or are they still tagged by the Auspex debuff?
Hello, i played the Vanguard with Meltagun and dont want to use the Melta on the Tactical. Are the other weapon options valid, for example the Plasmagun or some variation of the Boltweapons? Would you go with fencing or blocking with the chainsword?
With no comms friends I am finding it hard to win rounds at Ruthless - every one bar one I’ve dropped into so far no one keeps tight or looks out for eachother. Hitting a artificer glass ceiling here 😢
I did not! I did work inside sales but I was a biz dev guy for a bit at a marketing agency, then I got a job at a software company selling at the enterprise level! Dodged the call center life!
@@italianspartacus thanks for the reply it’s been a question nagging me since you started your bannerlord content. On a bright side your doppelgänger is a cool guy
its interesting seeing youre change on the chainsword since you made the bulwark build. i remember you saying stay balanced in artificer. is it just the class or more experience with the game?
I think with the Tac gaining ammo on major kill, there is no need for more bolt pistol ammo. You will very rarely shoot it, I think you are better off using the max damage variant just to up gunstrike damage.
Anyone know how to double stomp, been trying for 20 mins and cant, yes I have it unlocked in perk tree, lightx3 than hold button, thats the normal stomp, than it says to hold attack button, can anyone explain, its not working for me
The biggest problem I have with the tactical is……..the nade launcher bolter can’t equip the Macragge’s Chosen skin. They need to make a version with the noobtube on it ASAP. Fuckin -10/10 game, literally unplayable.
@@italianspartacusof course I’ve used it. But it just isn’t needed. How many perfect parry do you get in a match vs the one time it matters for the 75%. Fighting the hive Tyrant. Maybe the Hellbrute but by the time I fight a Hellbrute I have perfect parried like a billion other enemies. But both perks are good I agree.
Yeah they have their merits for sure! But I use it more than just once. It's nice to be able to delete Warriors with Devourers which can mess you up on ruthless. You can have a perfect run go to shit with three or four of those spawning out of no where
@randomhero6365 I haven't done it in game yet, just started tactical late last night. It's just switch to side arm, proc the ammo refill with the ability and when u switch back you get a full plasma rifle charge correct?
You do not receive Bolt Rifle Grenades upon executing an elite. In fact thats the ONLY time you dont refill your Nades lol. Yet you repeatedly use word "execute"
I still can’t play online please fix the dam servers! I can only play the campaign due to the trash servers. I love the game just want to experience the other 2/3s of the game
Finisher is not gun strike. It means execution. If you got a free reload after doing anything that gives you a “gun strike” you would literally be reloading all the time from the perk because gun strikes can happen with much higher frequency than executions.
Really no heavy bolter it's like a mini sniper if you can land them head shots and don't spray and pray.. I love tactical but it's one the harder classes to be really good with. Easy to use but harder to be actually good with. See soo many people who use it and are just plain bad
absolutely not - you should be using it at all times. if you watch the gameplay, i'm constantly using it ;) that comes down to game awareness and being able to gauge when to use it. I even say in the breakdown, you should have map knowledge and gauge when to use it. Why use it on a pack of 3 warriors if you know a big event is up? or if you know a drop pod is coming, use that auspex
Im not sure if this is a bug, but Emperors Vengeance does NOT give you a magazine back, it FILLS your current mag. So if youre missing 20 bullets, you get 20 bullets. If youre COMPLETELY dry, you get the entire mag. If you have reloaded before an execute, you get NOTHING. For that reason i alone i dont understand why everyone values it so much. Its quite terrible (when it works this way) and a strict downgrade to just reloading on EVERY Execute (except for Grenadelaunchers, which suck cause they dont even 1 shot Minoris xD)
If you use a Plasma, it's a full refill. Even if you're using a Melta rifle, with it's low RoF and high damage, you can actually go a long time without ever having to actually reload your gun. If you're using a bolt weapon (without a GL) it's probably not that great, though.
UA-cam comments are obnoxious idk how youtubers do it haha at least half of them are always negative for no reason. If you have an opinion then share it like a normal person

In Ruthless, a pair of Zoanthropes, at a shitty time, is a wipe. They get their own auspex. Whenever you get hit by the "beam" they shoot out, it amplifies damage against you
In Close range, the bolt rifle suffers. I prefer the Bolt rifle because it's how i want to play the Tactical. The Melta Rifle is amazing, but I just don't want to play a class that's so up front when I "main" Bulwark and Assault 90% of the time.
finally, a build that doesn't go left to right diagonal down in core perks.
Yes just began Bolt rifle - going nade launcher route.
I will give a HUGE shout out to the accurate variant of the bolt pistol. On a tactical this variant is great when you are trying to snipe the small tyranid slime spitters or chaos snipers. Its also better for lining headshots if you have a sniper. Its also much more ammo efficient if you line up your shots. Accuracy also seems to affect recoil as well.
I love that you're prepping both of my favorite chapters on your vids. Emperor's Spears and Black templar's. Glad I found your channel.
All you need is the 3rd row, bottom perk, and the relic grenade launcher and you're unstoppable as Tactical.. You get a full clip of grenades each time you kill a heavy, reloads after finisher and it takes 1-2 grenades to kill a heavy, and you got like 10-12 each time...
any idea if that perk affects plasma weapons? Cause if by magazine it means the whole gun gets refilled that would be pretty strong
@@PapaFunDip Edit: You actually have to have the pistol equipped for it to work with the full plasma! It works but you have to get the kill with a pistol or while pistol is equipped then switch back to plasma and you got it! Not sure why its like that, but it's awesome still! I think the perk is intended to work with whatever weapon you have UNEQUIPPED, but it works with grenade launcher while refile is equipped because it's technically 2 different weapons..
fun to see you go bottom row for plasma while i've seen others go top row and break up and down at the end
A skill combo I don't see anyone talking about is what I use.
Equip the perk which gives auspex on parry.
Equip the perk which makes headshots instantly kill an extremis enemy.
If you wait for and parry something like a liktor, it will receive the scan, then the follow up gunstrike will kill it instantly, since it counts as a headshot.
As a bonus, you'll not have actively "used" your scan.
I understand doggos with treat addictions, my wife and I just rescued a 4 month old baby girl puppy, chat GPT said last month she was a Rottweiler and now as she grows it's now saying she's a german shepard, doberman pinscher mix. However she looks alot like a big australian kelpie and she's fast and wicked smart for a puppy, she's also very independent minded and rebellious but my money is on some kind of aussie kelpie german sherpard mix. Sorry for the non sequitor I had to leave a comment the second you mentioned your doggo because other than kids they are the best part of adulting.
Just wanted to add that base scan gives a 30% damage increase in case you wanted an exact number but thanks for being informative
4:26 it's meeeee again :D
Hey you should probably use the head shot perks on your bolt pistol increases gunstrike damage. Along with the second column 20% secondary damage. This allows for parry scan build to do rediculous damage with just the gunstrike.
For plasma it has only one meg,so the perk will fill it fully,just switch to you hand gun when you do a finisher. No need for extra ammo
For the team perks i actualy like the last one the most, more healing is very useful and 5% ranged damage isnt actually that much. Also i really like versatility it works really well with tacticals auto reload passive.
marked for death also works really nicely with the marked on melee parry, its *chefs kiss*
Im glad to see a tactical video that isnt just use melta rifle its op hurr durr. Its really strong but not on the tactical. It has amazing add clear and damage at incredibly short ranges. The tactical has no gap closer so you are constantly moving towards targets and if you get a cluster of ranged majoris enemies like shotgun nids you are going to eat so much incoming fire that you then have to hope you face tank contestested health through with shotgun blasts. The vanguard has a long range teleport to enemy that synergizes with the melta rifle. The tactical has a long range dps buff and multiple incredible long range guns. Why not leverage that strength instead with the high damage rifles or the broken infinite grenade launcher instead of constantly putting yourself in melee range where you risk misplaying and dieing.
I'm sure there are use cases for the melta, but IMO it's probably a loadout three kind of weap (with loadouts 1 and 2 likely being Bolt Rifle and Plasma Incinerator).
@@jaxsonbateman it's incredible on the vanguard but it's a waste on the tactical imo. Tactical doesn't have the speed to always be in perfect position to use the melta whereas the vanguard has his grapple at 100 percent uptime. With the bolt rifle or plasma you should have zero downtime from shooting as a tactical but with the melta you end up with tons of downtime because you aren't always in range. Melta is insane just not on the tactical
I love how you could be an insanely good melee character and a range character
Melta rifle is by far the best weapon because it lets you heal back to full if you get contested health.
I thought at first that Tactical would be boring and vanilla, but I've come to enjoy it more than say Heavy or Sniper
10% primary damage increase includes the grenades from the launcher. It's objectively the better upgrade vs penetration
Lmao im a bulwark main and literally looked yesterday to see if you had a guide on this cause i liked your bulwark so much and here it is 😂
Same here he's given me my secondary main
Thank you for the guide, now please do a guide on how to matchmake with players that don't actively eat rocks lol
I played Ogryn a lot. Rocks are tasty.
Ty for this I'm a disabled vet only 1 arm and I'm still trying diff classes to see what I can manage . But I wanna master the tactical becuase I like builds that aren't per say pigeon holed builds
thank you for your service brother! my brother was a naval officer, flew Hawkeyes! This build will GETCHA THERE! :) Enjoy!
The first perk should be changed based on the weapon you are using too. Metla for top, Plasma middle, Bolter w/Grenade bottom.
Crazy I just searched for this while watching your videos explaining the melee and parry
The argument for the ammo variant for melta is that you're restoring 10+ rounds with an execution. I've only had a few times that I wouldn't run underneath one and start blasting. When you're outputting that much damage, teams tend to have the supporting fire to deal with them.
The amount of grenades is dependant on magazine size and not ammo reserve. With the two magazine perks you get 11 grenades. Ammo reserve is just for the bolter ammo
That is false. It is affected by both and at artificer level the 20% reserve rounds up giving you 2 more rounds comparing to 15% mag only giving you one more.
This is my favorite class for PvE and PvP, great guide, keep up the good work brother
So strong in PVP
These videos have been really well made. Great info. + sub
Glad you like them!
Very helpful, thank you.
I appreciate your TLDR right at the start. Oddly, that's all I want but end up watching the whole vid.
Hahaha I'm glad you do dude! I just want people to get the info and get out if they want to. It's too YT videos hold you ransom
@@italianspartacus PLUS I need to find that one "questionable" statement you make in each vid. this time it was at @12:23 lol
As far as the Bolt pistol goes, it seems kind of redundant to stack magazine capacity when you run an auto-reload perk.
Love the no BS intro. Smashed that like button 👍
liked the video , watched it completely, commented and am already subscribed 😊
YUSS! THANK YOU!
Marked For Death has been great with Battle Focus the few times it triggers on something big. One of my group mains Tactical and he has gotten a perfect parry on a Ravener and I guess the gun strikes count as headshots. There was much rejoicing for the Emperor.
I mean, a gun strike is literally a barrel to the face.
Im a bit confused as to why you go for maximizing the magazine and ammo count of the Bolt pistol. It really seems there is very few reasons to fire the bolt pistol, so it seems more prudent to maximize its damage and headshot damage, in order to make gun strikes more valuable. To just maximize its ammo count just feels like youre firing something feckless, when youd want it to at least deliver the few times you want to use it.
going for gun-strike, wouldn´t it be better than to take the bottom line for the bolt pistol to increase the damage done so you have killing shot more likely?
Also, your magazine (and grenade launcher ammo) refill is not on an "execute." You can literally just kill a major+ in any way. 30 second cool down, then kill one again. Execute assumes it's a particular type of kill. It's not.
is that the emperors spears?!?!
Yuppp
"Redden the Earth" brothers
I had planned on starting the tactical class but I didn’t feel it was great when doing the skills competition or while attempting to run my first mission with bots. I’m sure it’s a “skill” issue but I felt more comfortable with vanguard or bulwark
Comment for engagement. Thanks, man.
Thank you so much for watching brother!
Here i was playing the last campaign mission after waiting for our third thinking “there isnt a boltie with grenade launcher in PvE… hm”
Question: Does the weapon have to be active in order to benefit from the perk? Can I take bolt pistol perks and still have my primary out and the perks from the bolt pistol still apply? OR do I need to be mindful of perks and switch to a specific weapon to get desired perk effects.
Basically, do the perks for weapons work regardless of what you have out actively in combat? Like if i have an auto bolt gun and i kill, will it reload my auto bolt rifle or will it only pertain to the bolt pistol?
Question, why did you spec into stomp for your chainsword? I havent found much opportunity to use stomp, if im getting horded that bottom tree seesm to help with the contested health for knockbacks especially vs Chaos shielded dudes for executes and gunstrike. I never really get my combos high enough before i havet o hit a parry tbh.
Emperor's spears? What blue did you use?
Is Marked for Death supposed to work for gun strikes too or is it just aimed headshots? Finding next to no use for this perk using it with Battle Focus
Balanced Distribution is great for melta users like myself. Only problem is that my long range option, the pistol is debuffed as a result. I've thought about taking the third perk in that tree when i get to it. Anyone have any thoughts on how it performs with the bolt pistol?
Main problem with playing a tactical is finding a group cause everyone else is also playing tactical.
Also while the bolt pistol isn’t the best weapon in the game I just wanna say it’s the only weapon that’s shoots as fast as you can click.
I burn through Rubrics so fast with the pistol.
Emperor'd Vengance fills all your Plasma Incinerator ammo btw
But only if you’re holding your pistol when you do the execution. Plus it seems to only resupply my plasma to 130(default plasma’s max ammo) but not full for my variant that can hold 156.
@@The_Lone_Outlaw you dont actually need an execution for vengence, ive had it refill with just a normal kill, the perk also dosent say it needs an executiion.
@@avlaenamnell6994 you’re right I just discovered that not even an hour back
I love Tactical but the issue I have is that Extremis enemies seem to move away from the Auspex zone, am I correct or are they still tagged by the Auspex debuff?
Hello, i played the Vanguard with Meltagun and dont want to use the Melta on the Tactical. Are the other weapon options valid, for example the Plasmagun or some variation of the Boltweapons? Would you go with fencing or blocking with the chainsword?
Ah, such a great voice to listen to.
With no comms friends I am finding it hard to win rounds at Ruthless - every one bar one I’ve dropped into so far no one keeps tight or looks out for eachother. Hitting a artificer glass ceiling here 😢
Am I correct in my assumption that the Tactical is the perfect class to learn all the non class-specific mechanics of the game?
Absolutely!
Then it's probably the class I'll start with... and, if watching this video taught me anything, it's the one I'll probably enjoy the most xD
btw italiansparticus, you didnt used to work at a call center called 24-7 intouch? your voice/appearence reminds me of a coworker from a few years ago
I did not! I did work inside sales but I was a biz dev guy for a bit at a marketing agency, then I got a job at a software company selling at the enterprise level! Dodged the call center life!
@@italianspartacus thanks for the reply it’s been a question nagging me since you started your bannerlord content. On a bright side your doppelgänger is a cool guy
It’s a shame with the balancing of the weapons, the heavy and auto bolt are not bad but the others just become more powerful
I just noticed you are on controller, what are your sensitivities?
its interesting seeing youre change on the chainsword since you made the bulwark build. i remember you saying stay balanced in artificer. is it just the class or more experience with the game?
specifically the class :)
I think with the Tac gaining ammo on major kill, there is no need for more bolt pistol ammo. You will very rarely shoot it, I think you are better off using the max damage variant just to up gunstrike damage.
Can you do heavy next? He’s got a lotta of confusing and glitched/hidden mechanics that are tricky to understand. Plus I just fuckin suck with heavy.
Yes :) that's in the list!
looking forward to vanguard xD
40:03 bro marine is a psyker. literally did a force pull and choke combo lol
Anyone know how to double stomp, been trying for 20 mins and cant, yes I have it unlocked in perk tree, lightx3 than hold button, thats the normal stomp, than it says to hold attack button, can anyone explain, its not working for me
The biggest problem I have with the tactical is……..the nade launcher bolter can’t equip the Macragge’s Chosen skin. They need to make a version with the noobtube on it ASAP. Fuckin -10/10 game, literally unplayable.
Perfect parry putting an auspex scan on an enemy is too damn good with a fencing weapon.
Best perk in the row by FAR
That 75% is good but nope.
Have you tried the 75%?? Trust me. It's DISGUSTING. I thought I'd only ever use the parry one, but you can delete the hell drake in one phase
@@italianspartacusof course I’ve used it.
But it just isn’t needed.
How many perfect parry do you get in a match vs the one time it matters for the 75%.
Fighting the hive Tyrant.
Maybe the Hellbrute but by the time I fight a Hellbrute I have perfect parried like a billion other enemies.
But both perks are good I agree.
Yeah they have their merits for sure! But I use it more than just once. It's nice to be able to delete Warriors with Devourers which can mess you up on ruthless. You can have a perfect run go to shit with three or four of those spawning out of no where
What’s a good bolt rifle for PvP? I’ve been using the marksmen carbine
Honestly just the base rifle is amazing!
I soloed a Hive Tyrant with a Tactical. Bolter with grenade launcher +100% damage. Chainsword. Hard carry everyone with this,
So since it doesnt actually have a magazine, what is the exact interaction between the Emperor's Vengeance perk and the plasma incinerator?
From what I've heard it refills it only if you switch to your side arm and then do the finsher/gunstrike.
You get the full thing back but it's currently bugged you have to have your pistol equipped to the ammo back
@randomhero6365 I haven't done it in game yet, just started tactical late last night. It's just switch to side arm, proc the ammo refill with the ability and when u switch back you get a full plasma rifle charge correct?
Sweeeet.
You do not receive Bolt Rifle Grenades upon executing an elite. In fact thats the ONLY time you dont refill your Nades lol. Yet you repeatedly use word "execute"
you have to mark them :)
I still can’t play online please fix the dam servers! I can only play the campaign due to the trash servers. I love the game just want to experience the other 2/3s of the game
Finisher is not gun strike. It means execution. If you got a free reload after doing anything that gives you a “gun strike” you would literally be reloading all the time from the perk because gun strikes can happen with much higher frequency than executions.
Sorry I didn't say this properly I meant gun strikes CAN count as finishers if you kill. Apologies for that dude!
Really no heavy bolter it's like a mini sniper if you can land them head shots and don't spray and pray.. I love tactical but it's one the harder classes to be really good with. Easy to use but harder to be actually good with. See soo many people who use it and are just plain bad
Engagement
Admiration
This build means you are going to be holding on auspex which hinders your team.... Not great.
absolutely not - you should be using it at all times. if you watch the gameplay, i'm constantly using it ;) that comes down to game awareness and being able to gauge when to use it. I even say in the breakdown, you should have map knowledge and gauge when to use it. Why use it on a pack of 3 warriors if you know a big event is up? or if you know a drop pod is coming, use that auspex
Im not sure if this is a bug, but Emperors Vengeance does NOT give you a magazine back, it FILLS your current mag. So if youre missing 20 bullets, you get 20 bullets. If youre COMPLETELY dry, you get the entire mag. If you have reloaded before an execute, you get NOTHING.
For that reason i alone i dont understand why everyone values it so much. Its quite terrible (when it works this way) and a strict downgrade to just reloading on EVERY Execute (except for Grenadelaunchers, which suck cause they dont even 1 shot Minoris xD)
Artificer deals double damage of master crafted (34 damage which is equivalent to a las fusil shot).
@@WTFYI Thats a fair point. My argument about Emperors Vengeance still stands though.
If you use a Plasma, it's a full refill. Even if you're using a Melta rifle, with it's low RoF and high damage, you can actually go a long time without ever having to actually reload your gun.
If you're using a bolt weapon (without a GL) it's probably not that great, though.
@@Xero_Kaiser On a plasma it does not refill anything. No magazine. Just tested it.
I feel like every day 5 videos of tactical builds comes out. And all of them are the same
Unfortunately, there's not much build diversity. I tried to differentiate myself here by just breaking down all the perks as you level
UA-cam comments are obnoxious idk how youtubers do it haha at least half of them are always negative for no reason. If you have an opinion then share it like a normal person
19:28 how do you get DLC skins for this?
