Good VET Damnation gun choice

[Stonesipher]

Been playing damnation for a couple of weeks on all my characters and just cycled to my VET. I'm bored of the classic Bolter re-cycle build and was looking into something different and effective. I know vet can make good use of most weapons but what are the best? Thanks!

Kantreal XII

most guns will work fine. It comes down to what you like and what role you want to take on in the group. My favourite build runs an Agripinna Braced Autogun with Fire Frenzy IV and Deathspitter IV. It absolutely slaps. (see twitch clip)

But I'm also partial to other guns, like the Kantrael MG XII and the Boltgun.

bolter or agrpinia headhunter 2bullets per shot for close encounters are allround guns

[󠀡󠀡]

Boltgun, Plasma Rifle, the smg for shredding actually you can use almsot everything with the right blessings and good abilities using them gets easier. I prefer Boltgun so i can get rid of Mutants before they even catch anyone.

Shredder is in a tier of its own, 1 million dmg in 30 minutes.
Bolter is good
Lasgun XII is good
helbore MK2 is good
Revolver is okay

Really depends on playstyle you're looking for. The Boltgun is good because it's an all rounder that's good vs bosses, and armor while still being serviceable vs enemy shooters. The Revolver is the gun most similar to that same playstyle. It's more accurate and handles a lot better but has a smaller clip and lower stagger amount.

If you want to go for a more counter-snipe focused style that prioritizes killing enemy shooters and specials than the MK XII Lasgun and Vraks III HH Autogun are the two guns I think perform this role the best.

If you want to go for a more run and gun style, then the Autopistol, Laspistol, or Braced Autoguns all work for this style. This style sacrifices effective range for raw DPS up close. The Laspistol in particular is a really underrated weapon choice since it's still very effective at range and does much better DPS than you might think. It's just not effective at all vs armor.

The Helbore Lasguns are the most versatile of the ranged weapon options, being good vs everything while not being the best at any one particular enemy type. They can deal with armor, shooters, specials and have terrific ammo economy. But they are more tricky to use right.


Realistically it's easier to identify the guns that you probably SHOULDN'T pick over the guns you should. I personally would avoid the Shotguns, Recon Lasguns, and a few of the specific autoguns like the Agripinaa HH (worst gun in the game), and MK IV Infantry Autogun.

Whatever you pick you just need to be aware of what your weapon is good against and what it's weak against and pick a melee weapon to compliment it. If you have a gun that's good vs armor you should probably take a melee weapon good vs hordes. If your gun sucks vs armor, you're going to need a melee weapon like an Axe or Chainsword to handle Crushers.

Hellbore 2 is boring as hell.

Hellbore 3 - thats a damage dealing boy. No problem with any type of specials. You can even apply chain charge shot if you want to go pew-pew, but i prefer a one shot raw power mode.

Revolver is good with reload speed attributes, doesnt matter what you get for blessings its a solid hand canon.

All shotguns are good, although if you want to stay relevant at all ranges with a shotgun - agripina is your choice.

If your aim is a "certified potato" go for any full autoguns. Infantry ones are a default CoD AR's. Head hunter is somewhat wanna be DMR. The other ones are kinda pref choice. Its ok to go with hipfire autogon shredding hordes.

So basicaly everything, i dropped Plasma and Bolter because they are boring as hell, same goes for powersword. I use devil claw for my melee and boy it rocks.

But in general, i prefer "to be safe at dealing with specials" - taking a gun with one-shot specials potential, wich is also good to deal with scab gunners and other thrash wich annoys my teammates. And for melee i go for easy to heavy+light combos to kill and control the horde if i have to. Other time i try to play from positioniong covering my mates and making shure no trapper or sniper will pick them off.

Shredder autopistol, agripinaa mk8, lasgun mk12, stub (requires very good aiming to be effective ).
If any of hellbore had better iron sight or a scope i'd say they are good too, but this iron sight is the worst idea in gamedesign.

Bolter with shattering impact & pinning fire is the best weapon in the game hands down.

Other weapons are pathetic) (every vraks, every columnus, every recon lasgun )

Flashlight = Lasgun

Shredder and Autoguns have flashlight too.

The top 3 choices for my vet is 1. Bolter. A great all-round weapon that can defeat anything that is thrown at it. Mostly anti-armor. 2. Plasma gun. Can penetrate light cover to get those pesky trash shooters that the other teammates just can't seem to take care of. It's charge attack destroys heavily armored targets, just make sure you hit what you are aiming for. It's penetrative power also can come in handy for hordes as it can go through 3 bodies and keep on going. Downsides are it's slow and much harder to aim than the bolter or lasgun. 3. Lasgun, specifically the Kantrael MG XII. Any of the other Kantrael marks would be good however, depending on your playstyle. When you get good at aiming you can go with the Helbore las weapons with their charged shot. However a good Kantrael MG XII can get close to the Helbore's charged shot with just it's normal shot. It's quite powerful. The great thing about the Kantrael's is that they have a reflex sight on them that makes aiming so much easier. They also have a torch for those power outages.

All 3 lasguns are fine with Kantrail MG X!! feeling the nicest for when youre aiming at something far but since using the Agripinaa Mk VIII braced autogun I dont know how to switch off. I try every now and again and just feel weak. The high stagger on a fast firerate fairly accurate gun just feels like it crowd controls super well but also tap firing on shooters kills them instantly. The only thing I ever feel like Ive chosen the wrong gun for is snipers super far away or crushers but with both I tend to just throw a nade.

It's inside joke within tabletop gamers. Since lasgun is basically as useful as flashlight when fighting against demonic beings and other terrible monster of the space.

Ohhh... got it, thanks. xD

Go for Agrippina Brace 8, Shredder Pistol, Revolver, MG12 Lasgun or Shotguns (Kantrael or Agrippina).
Depending on those it can be fun but using one all the time can get boring. I get more fun alternating between Agrippina Brace 8, MG12 Lasgun and the Kantrael Shotgun.

Although if you want a high dmg dump similar to Bolter, just go Helbore or Plasma Gun.
