Warhammer 40,000: Darktide All Rounder Zealot build

Welcome!

Hey there my name is Mr.Muddy i currently have 880+ hours on Darktide! I play every class but Zealot is one of my favorites! And this is my go to build for damnation!

This is a All purpose build for zealot. It can do everything! With this build you can clear horde's deal with elites even shooters! Only downside is that boss damage is bit low but while your fellow rejects are focusing on the boss you can help them by clearing any trash mobs and dealing with elites if there is any! and Eviscreator is a very fun weapon to play around with so lets start!

Eviscreator is very fun and deadly!

I love this melee weapon it can be my favorite weapon in Darktide! It is effective its all rounder and hey you can cleave heretics in the name of the God Empreror!

For the stats of the Eviscreator our main stats will be Damage>Cleave Targets>Penetration>Shredder>Mobility in this order. Shredder only effects the special activation damage and penetration is decent but Damage and Cleave are the most important for this weapon since it will be our Trash clear weapon! Our main combo for horde clear will be blockpush attack-heavy-light repeat until everything is dead! If you see a mutant grabbing your fellow reject feel free to rev your Eviscreator and cleave him in half! Same with the Pox hounds you can use your F ability to stagger them and give em a good rip and tear!

For blessings Momentum is almost a must! It will help us with the survivability of this build! at max tier %15 toughness gained on enemy hit is amazing! Savage sweep will help make our cleave damage even better! For perks you cannot go wrong with crit/Flak/unarmored/Infested/Maniac/Unyielding damage i advise aganist Carapache armor damage since you will not be dealing with Crushers with Eviscreator unless you are so desperate to do so!

Agripinaa Mk VII Combat Shotgun

Combat Shotgun? With Zealot?! Yes! This recent addition to Zealot arsenal is a great weapon! I hear you ask "Why not go for Flamer? or a Bolter?" Few reasons. Flamer is very effective horde clear it leaves us with no long range capabilities to deal with and Bolter can be very good long range weapon it is a very slow weapon to draw and shoot! With this new shotgun we have a decent ammo pull decent damage! But main attraction is the special slug round! With this you can one shot headshot basic shooters ragers snipers flamers gunners and almost deal %90 damage to flak ragers and pox hounds! Not to mention when using Chastise the Wicked Zealot by passes armor with this weapon we can use our F ability to rush crushers and unload our shells to it. It will be knocked down and before it can get up it will be long dead! Our stat proirity will be Damage>Stopping power>Ammo>Stability>Mobility. For Perks you cannot go wrong with crit chance and reload speed! For blessings i recommend No respite! Due to shotgun special round we will be staggering anything that is not a boss and deathspitter will give us extra damage if we want to unload our magazine to a crowd of shooters or pox walkers!

Curios!

For Curios i recommend 2 toughness + 1 Wound As my good Friend Mayhem puts it

" 2x17% toughness from curio with a +5% perk give you ~39% more toughness which is almost 40% more toughness on all your sustain source. And because you play with momentum + feat + 2 dash, you basically play full sustain so it's a flat 40% improvement"

But you can run with 2 health Curios and + 1 Wound too!

Resistances are very important here Sniper is one of the most deadly heretics in this game. You can see or hear a mutant poxhound but a sniper is very sneaky if you don't have no resistances to it it can destroy your health bar with just one shot even worse if you have less then %50 health there is a high chance that sniper will end your life very quickly! So having a sniper resistance is very usefull. Same with toughness regen! Although it does not work with the feats it does give us extra toughness regen when we are with our fellow rejects!

Feats!

This is the Build i run for this build I will explain why i have chosen these ones!

Purify In Blood

Replenish 75% more Toughness on melee kills.

This goes well with our eviscreator's momentum if we hit we will be getting %7.5 to %15 toughness back and extra tougness we gained from kills goes a long way. "Enemies Within, Enemies Without" is very dependant on having 3 or more enemies around us so having a more reliable toughness regen would be a better fit.

Punishment

Attacks that Hit 3 or more enemies grant +30% Impact for 5 seconds. Stacks 5 times. At max stacks, gain Uninterruptible.

This feat will give us much needed crowd control capabilities in a very thick horde we can stagger them very easily giving us much needed breathing room. Extra attack speed from retribution is very usefull but it requires us to be on lower health. It's better be safe then sorry!

Benediction

+15% Toughness damage reduction (Allies in Coherency).

Very good all rounder feat it will help us and our allies to survive the ranged and the meele damage from the filty heretics!

Rising Conviction

Hitting an enemy with a melee attack increases your damage by 4% for 5 seconds, stacks up to 5 time

Extra %20 damage? Yes please! It does proc on multi hits so if we are able to hit 5 enemies with one swing we will have our Rising conviction stacked up to full in no time!

Purge The Wicked

Chastise The Wicked now has two charges.

Having two charges of Purge the wicked is very very usefull. This ability is not only offensive but can be used for defensive purposes as well. Getting out of a bombers flame getting away from Shooters or getting into a crowd of shooters! Not to mention with chastise the wicked we can charge pox hounds to stagger them! Yes you can charge them while they are jumping at you and it will make them stagger! Ha! Take that filty hounds!

Thank you for reading my guide and don't forget to have fun! I hope i was able to help out! If you have any suggestions or any questions feel free to contact me at our Darktide Convicts server!
