The BEST Lasgun is??? INFINITE AMMO & INSANE BUFFS in Patch 14!! | Warhammer 40k: Darktide

infantry lasgun these are the staple weapons of the Imperial Guard dubbed the emperor's flashlights these are cheap yet potent and burn their foes with extremely hot laser projectiles in dark tide we have a trio of them where historically only one rained King the mg12 this Las gun has always been the best choice with its slower but more devastating shots patch 14 brought Buffs for the 1 a and four variants but will they be enough to compete with or even Dethrone the mg12 as the best infantry L gun first here's the skill tree I'm running for the video just so you know where my damage boosts are coming from right let's go through the variants and what differentiates them the weapons I'll be comparing all have 79 to 80% damage roles so starting off with the defending Champion the mg12 this variant Sports a longer body and a wooden stock fitting of the stability needed to handle its more powerful shot this is the slowest firing of the three with a fire rate of a approximately three shots per second the mg 1A is the variant that sits in the middle of the three sporting a marginally smaller body it has I would say a fire rate roughly a third faster than that of the mg12 at just over four shots per second and only deals about 18% less damage per shot meaning on paper the DPS of this variant is now extremely higher than the mg12 after the Buffs in patch 14 and then we come to the mg4 which has a noticeably smaller body than the other two with a very lightweight stock and short barrel this shoots twice as fast as the mg12 at a fire rate of six shots per second and Deals 40% less damage than the mg1 a when we pitch the base damage DPS values against each other there is actually a draw and that is between the mg1 and mg4 variants they drew in this distance because my 1A has a 79% damage roll compared to my Four's 80% meaning they effectively have the same DPS output if they both had 80% the mg1 12's status is under real threat previously I have said that the mg12 is the better option due to its being easy to stably get precise shots because of the slower fire rate but after these Buffs now the 1A and four hit such reliable time to kill numbers it's hard not to think that they may be edging it now with unarmored the mg1 and mg4 will bit new break points for drag shotgun as good stalkers and Shooters meaning they're both able to on-shot these units on a weak spot hit without volier or execution of stance as it's called These Days the mg12 can do this as well however the other variants shoot so much faster while they're at it after having used both the 1A and 4 in game since patch 14 I will actually have to say it the mg12 it has been dethroned it stepping down the podium to get the bronze which in this case is a glorified way to say it's come last you can't have joint winners on a Podium after all but the 1A and four are joint winners picking between the two is like splitting hairs so it's completely down to preference now the mg12 by no means is bad and it will still be an extremely formidable weapon that is more than viable for oric melstrom and Beyond but for you that like to eek the absolute most DPS out of your weapon I think the mg 1A is going to take the cake it balances a faster fire rate with more DPS over the mg12 without being too fast it becomes too hard to aim the mg4 is there on paper but you need to get used to its faster fire rate and really leverage how fast it does shoot to see the benefits from it at the end of the day because the mg12 has such strong break points the Infantry last guns have been made for the average player pretty much equal to each other so try all three and use whichever you like best for some tips on the best blessings and perks of them black and unarmored damage as your perks really helps Smash and break points for all of the weapons this will generally also help you if you are a shooter focused infantry Las gun user as I am as all Shooters are under these armor types for the best blessings you really want to have Head Hunter and deadly accurates these are hands down the best blessings you really want to have for the weapons not only will head hunter synergize with the shock trooper Talent which will give us almost infinite ammunition in a run it helps you trigger deadly accurate extremely often and deadly accurate at level four is essentially double damage to the Head this enables all three of the lasguns to hit absolutely ludicrous weak spot break points so you do not want to miss out on them especially as these weapons crit quite a lot now the main thing these weapons do is they excel at clearing rooms full of Shooters with a good executioner stance build so I'll quickly go through my talentry setup for the weapons Okay so we've got an extremely left bearing classic shooter veteran build going on in the talent Tre here as we go down we've got extra EXT ra base damage for our shooting as well as reload speed picking up the shredder frag grenade as we're going straight down to the left be lining for the bottom key noes really so we've got survivalist which is going to help us you know keep that infinite ammo that we're going to stack with shot Trooper as we're going to get a lot of critical hits especially with the Head Hunter blessing and then we move on to you know a little bit more base damage got executioner stance obviously augmented with Relentless to keep the ability online and counterfire to make sure we get all Shooters highlighted which will enable us to absolutely obliterate rooms entirely full of them that's the main key that we're doing here with the emperor's flashlight we do Veer off to the right hand side to jump into some extra damage so we've just got ability cool down and then some ogrin and monstrosity damage as well as Elite damage which will help with shotgunners and Gunners little bit of Health boost but we need confirmed kill specifically from this tree this is going to keep you alive massively every shotgunner every Gunner every specialist every Elite is going to give you 25% % toughness and then it's going to give you a further 25% toughness over 10 seconds after that which is absolutely massive it Stacks me I think around six five six times so you're just going to become an absolutely Unstoppable Force almost making it as it was before where you could completely face tank things you still need to be aware of the odd pox Groner that's going to come and smack you from behind whilst you're tunnel visioning with your last good which is what I do quite often but exhilarating takedown is going to help with that as well as you know we want to get as many weak spot kills as possible this is going to stack some toughness damage reduction as well as giving us toughness as well and so yep shot Trooper obviously one I've spoken about we're going to keep stacking Critical Hits which means we're going to essentially effectively feel like we have infinite ammo throughout the entire match it's going to be key to keeping G shooting this feat will also enable you to just Blas shoot into hordes and not have to worry about Ammunition by the way so if you see a hoorde coming and you're using the 1A or the mg4 just blast straight into them I mean you could do it with the mg12 but it feels a lot more satisfying to do it with a faster shooting variance and you know you're going to rack up more damage you're going to rack up more kills is just going to help the team more and we've got more weak spot damage cuz we're really gun for those weak spot hits anything we can do to boost deadly accurate is going to help us a ton because it's going to just break ludicrous break points you're going to one-hot the biggest of enemies and we got a little bit of extra ammo which is going to help us in our ammo regeneration but we did go to the bottom here to get our ability modifier Marksman well we'll get an extra 50% power 50% power for 10 seconds when we use the Ability so a lot of people do prefer to come down into the middle and Veer down to rending strikes picking up competitive urge along the way but because we're using deadly accurate and head hunter which means we're going to be proing deadly accurate quite a lot if we're hitting weak spots this is just going to make us do ludicrous damage that we do not want to miss out on so that is my build mainly for the Las guns the Infantry Las guns specifically though I'll probably use a similar thing for the Recons as well but yeah as I mentioned you want flat damage and unarmored damage to really make the most out of the Infantry Las guns if you're focusing on killing ranged enemies and Shooters and yeah it's it's definitely a force to be reckoned with and I know after patch 13 dropped there was a lot of kind of the veteran not really a shooter anymore because you you just die and your weapons don't do enough damage and it's it just never felt that good but after patch 14 you can become a classic Imperial Guard Soldier you know a shock trooper a Cadian Shock Trooper you can you could just stand still and blast all of the enemies uh how many teams have you been on where there's not been a veteran to shoot any of the shooters Gunners or anything like that now you're that person you are them get executioner STS on and obliterate every single one of them this has been a mildly different video to the norm but the emperor's flashlight is one of my favorite weapons to use in dark tide so I thought H I dedicate a video to them now that the NG 1A and the mg4 have been helpfully buffed I'll be getting some gameplay using the buff variants in a build I'm going to dub the cadan sh trooper and I've gone over the build briefly today but yeah I'll be going into a little bit more depth explaining why it's one of the most reliable builds to use in the hive so drop a subscribe if you would like to look out for that build and thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next [Music] video
