Stub Revolver is wrong

[TheArtilleryman]

Stub revolver is a great weapon in Darktide, but lore-wise it is too powerful. In the tabletop game a stub gun, as it would be called, is about the weakest weapon you can get. The way the stub plays in this game is more like a bolt pistol. I say change the stubber to be a bolt pistol instead and job's a good 'un. Plus a bolt pistol is way cooler.

You're playing a fanfiction version of 40K with deliberate "engagement balancing", you should not expect anything to be 1. properly balanced for any length of time or 2 even kind of be accurate to the setting.

We're four meth hobos taking out thousands of chaos troops. Beasts of Nurgle. Daemonhosts. etc. I think we're pretty far beyond the tabletop game.

This is actually my main complaint with the game. The narrative makes zero sense.

We're four nobodies destroying thousands of enemies per mission.

In the lvl 30 cutscene, I think even Rannick noticed the effect of the gun was a bit off.

You can't be somebody without being a nobody first. For all we know some of us could be on our way to much higher achievements and missions. It's using your imagination lol

Clearly, Khorne has taken a liking to our unprecedented volume of slaughter and has secretly bestowed us with some blessings, just to piss off Nurgle.

Got to admit I'm really annoyed that the stub revolver's hand cannon pistol role wasn't a damn bolt pistol.

no one cares about the lore.

Gameplay before lore.

Always.

That said, the narrative here didn't have to be that we're nobodies, we could have easily just been Inquisitorial Stormtroopers, and had all of the same gameplay elements. The only thing that would have needed to change was the starting scene on the prisoner ship.

I agree and I think the stubby as a bolt pistol is a great idea.

Oh no i agree the narrative is terrible. Especially given that apparently THE warhammer guy himself wrote it. Or so i hear anyway. Being a Stormtrooper sounds like a much better and more interesting idea tbh.

The stub is so OP in the game that there is no point in using anything else. Which takes away from the game in my opinion. I would like to use other weapons, but when I do I cant compete the way I can with stub. So back to stub I must go.

Lore-wise the Stub Revolver is too powerful, and the Boltgun is frankly underpowered. But this is a game where you can only take one gun, so everything needs to be roughly balanced. I like how every gun plays a little bit differently, but several can be used effectively, so it comes down to play style.

I don't know man, I use stubs on my melee guys in Warhammer Rogue Trader and it seems pretty on par with what we have here, considering the game ofc.
