Christ a 85% reduction in size in leaving non-SSD drives behind? Need to boot their asses ASAP.

Apparently it doesn't even fuck over HDD users that bad. If you read the whole post, it's like... "yeah we figured it would ruin everything by increasing load times by 10 times, but as it turns out the worst that happens in practice is a few more seconds on average."

What that really means is "We are fucking stupid and never actually tested any of this ourselves."
What a bunch of lazy fucks.

I have all my games on a big pair of mirrored HDDs and I fucking called it. I notice no differences aside from patching taking like a 50th of the time. Took me 20 minutes to install the entire game over again vs the 5+ hours for a 100mb patch.

So they added a supershotgun you can get from the superstore. Yes it's got Med Pen and can fire both barrels at once.

That gun is from HD1 btw, it's always kicked ass

I've barely played a match or two so far since I'm a little more focused on Darktide, but the game seems to be running better and no major audio bugs so far. What's with the sound of the new AR by the way, it sounds way lower quality than every other gun in the game.

This is so far my favorite new item. I'm one of those weirdos who uses the break action shotgun when I have an empty 3rd slot. If you're playing bugs and miss a charger or impaler's head and strip their leg with a rocket you can switch to this and volley fire into their leg to get an insta-kill.

The default no attachments hold on this new DBS is a bit above the circle reticle if anyone's curious.

I think all the new weapons feel pretty good so far.

New AR is fine and the grenade launcher attachment is servicable, the shotty is great, the chainsword cleaves really nice (though the reach is kinda ass) and the minigun is really fun. Overall not a bad haul.
 
Loving the storage reduction beta, even though it proves they don't test their own shit. Unfortunately, minigun is basically useless on the Bot front (the best front.) Chainsword is kind of a meme too.

Fuck Yeah, glad to see optimization is still possible if you bully these companies enough sometimes.
 
I have to admit, I was most hyped for the minigun but I'm really loving the chainsaw. I thought the chainsaw was going to be pure meme, but it's actually bretty gud. The AR+Grenade isn't as S tier as I hoped, but it's more than passable. The chainsaw isn't exactly build defining or anything, but rocking the new light armor and putting the shield pack on, you can just dive into a clutch of bugs and tear ass. It's surprisingly mid without the double melee damage bonus though.

I've been getting Alpha Commanders pretty reliably with two swings at most, and hive guard with just the one. You can tear off both their frontal claws and leave a big gash in their head pretty good. It's pretty fun acting as Chainsaw Bodyguard for the rest of the team so they don't get ass-raped all of a sudden. You definitely need to pace yourself and learn some timing, but it's funnee.

Is the armor passive useful?

You can't be ragdolled by a lot of things with the new passive, the melee bonus is not really worth anything unless if you like playing melee focused builds. Most, if not all melee attacks from enemies will not ragdoll you, backblast from friendly rocket shots won't ragdoll you either. I kinda like it just for the stability but it's annoying that the armor in the pass is either Heavy or Light and the Light armor looks like shit.
