Veteran On Overwatch Penance

[Titibrine12]

Dreadful. I have not seen a challenge so utterly dreadful in years. Games are meant to be fun, and trying to do this challenge has been nothing except that. I loathe the "genius" at Fatshark that decided that this challenge would be good. Its unfun and uncreative, why can't we get something similar to Zealot and "Use a ranged weapon only" to encourage using the bayonet fonction of the Lucius pattern in melee encounters ? Of all the things in this game I think this penance is one of the most badly designed challenges coded in the game. To put more oil on the fire, doing this challenge is even harder to do because of all the jankiness of the game and the mfing frame drops even in the lowest of the lowest of settings.
Thanks Fatshark, you made me regret maining Veteran.

Agree, this penance seems like impossible to do without "disconnect" glitch (pressing Alt+f4 at the end of a mission). Don't know if it was fixed on release. In comparring to penances of other classes "On overwatch" is really difficult to complete.

Should become easier when toughness works for Veteran. Then you get 1 free hit if your toughness is full, where you take no damage.

So there is a list of similar penances:
Gone Bowling – Knock down 70 enemies with a single Bull Rush on Malice Threat or higher;

Shocking Stuff – On a Malice Threat or higher, kill 40 enemies stunned by your grenades, within 10s;

Warp Battery – While on Malice Threat or higher, in a single session maintain maximum warp charges for 300s;

"On Overwatch" – Complete a Mission on Malice Threat or higher without taking any melee damage;

Is it even possible to finish t3 map WITHOUT ANY meele dmg?
And even it's so, it will ruin the game experinece to other players (should i stay at the corner while other people fighting)?
I tried "camo" feat and it works well, but still not being hitted during 20 min seems like a joke. And if you fail during a mission, you must start new mission to get another try.

The only way I see being able to do this is with 3 buddies to "scum" through sections using the standing still perk where you get focused less.

as it is right now i've tried 50 runs and my lowest hit count was 6. this is with me attempting to not be a goblin and shooting things the entire time.

I tried about 50 times to get that penance at lvl 3 difficulty and failed every single time. Then got it randomly without trying on a lvl 4 difficulty mission where I just happened to have a great set of random team mates (an Ogryn, Psyker and Zealot mix) that just took care of everything melee based before it came close to hitting me. (The Camo perk helped immensely too)

A lot of the penances are very reliant on your team, not just on your individual skill.

Imagine not having it since beta. lmao.

Try doing this while your game crashes 2-3 times a mission if I'm particularly unlucky. Plus we're veterans, we should only have out melee weapons out if we're clearing hoards WITH THE REST OF OUR TEAM. Not standing in a corner somewhere with "Camo expert" and praying for your team not to kick you with your sword out in constant block. On Overwatch is the single worst thing in this game, especially when its next to impossible for me to finish it. Conditions being 1) get through a malice mission 2) don't crash or DC 3) don't get hit. The Sharpshooter health glitch doesn't make it any better.

New big map of a city is a good one to do that penance. No luck yet tho, but only got hit by a dog.

[Jordanlok]

Yeah uh sorry I don't respect anyone that used the disconnect glitch.

After completing this penance legit last night I very much enjoy seeing everyone say it isn't possible. It IS a very hard penance absolutely, you have to play extremely far back and have to constantly be checking your surroundings. To be honest, trying for this penance in a pub definitely makes you a burden for your team.

[PlevisVesel]

I'm guessing OP hasn't seen the Pick n' Mix penance from the the Psyker tree.

[Titibrine12]

So basically you need to play in a way that is not very much fun. You need to play passively while this game punishes you to do so. Tried a lot of times to do said challenge since my post and im getting hit less and less while still engaging in melee. But everybody here seems to be missing a point.

This game had the equivalent of a month to test out bugs and fix problem to make the game playable. Im clearly above the minimum requirements and even on the lowest of settings. Really the lowest of the low, I tank at 20fps in hordes and need to use my Vermintide 2 experience to dodge and heavy swing blindly to hope none of them will hit me by chance. Even when you are very wary of your surroundings, even if you have a good team. It really doesn't matter when the game is optimised like ♥♥♥♥. They had one month to optimise it and it still runs like garbage.

I have a theory that the penances are overly annoying on purpose to influence people to buy cosmetics.

You are absolutely right, you are supposed to get frustrated and go to shop instead.

it still counts as damage

Its an "end game" challenge. I see how you would eventually be able to do it by just playing. Plus in heresy you have more elites and specials that spawn. On Overwatch is a mid game challenge and is basically similar to a "end game challenge". Fat Shark just prefer to make premium cosmetics than doing interesting challenge.
