Bringing The Mk VI Force Greatsword For A Spin In The New Map | Gameplay | Warhammer40k: DARKTIDE

Ryken XIV 2024-12-03 | Hello Varlets!

Just a no-commentary gameplay with my Psyker taking the Force Greatsword for a few practice runs to get used to its moveset and limitations. The new map is pretty cool and the end event reminds me of the Convocation of Decay mission in Vermintide 2!

The ending leaves more questions than answers... I wonder where we shall end up next..

[UPDATED] The Cinder Mage 2.0! | Psyker Class Build | Warhammer40k: DARKTIDE

Ryken XIV 2024-10-21 | Hello Varlets!

It's finally here! The updated version of the Cinder Mage!

Thanks to... some upheavals at work... this video had to be pushed back. However, that did give me more time to play and test more iterations of the build which has led to me settling on this one!

This version adds more synergy across the different parts of the build by taking advantage of the new talent nodes introduced with the Unlocked & Loaded update, with a stronger emphasis on optimizing damage output and defensive capabilities.

[UPDATED] The Storm Witch 2.0! | Psyker Class Build | Warhammer40k: DARKTIDE

Ryken XIV 2024-10-02 | Hello Varlets!

This is an update to one of my earliest builds - The Storm Witch!

Focused on defensive support, crowd control, and Elite Slaying, this Storm Witch is now more stronger than ever when it comes to bringing the pain!

This is the first of my "commentary" style guides and in it I hope to help out the new players/psykers who aren't yet familiar with build crafting their psykers by explaining the logic and rationale of this build.

Ryken XIV 2024-09-29 | Hello Varlets!

Today I'm going to talk about the Psyker's updated talent tree that came alongside the Unlocked & Loaded patch!

This is going to be a casual discussion about the changes rather than a scripted and planned deep analysis - I'll save that for Weapon Reviews here numbers count for more :)

Hope you enjoy it as I get better at trying to share my thoughts without feeling... too self-conscious about saying the wrong thing or flubbing over my words (which I do a lot...)

A Balance Pass to make Assault Rifles GREAT AGAIN! | Balance Discussion | Helldivers 2

Ryken XIV 2024-05-16 | Greetings Helldivers!

Today I'm going talk about the direction of balance in game as well as addressing assault rifle specific balancing! We'll take a bird's eye view on the situation and where it might be heading towards. Then we'll take a step back to see how our assault rifles can be made more fun and impactful, as well as looking at some weapon concepts I came up with!

This is going to be a long one, so sit back, relax, and let's get it on!

A Detailed REVIEW Of The CB-9 Explosive Crossbow | Helldivers Handbook | Helldivers2

Ryken XIV 2024-04-21 | Greetings Helldivers!

Today we're going to dive VERY deep into the CB-9 Explosive Crossbow!

With the release of the Democratic Detonation Warbond and the Eruptor, a lot of comparisons have been made between it and the Crossbow, often painting the crossbow as an inferior Eruptor in every way.

In this video, we'll explore just how true these claims are (with numbers and tables) and try to find out what the real potential of the crossbow is!

Hold on to your hellpods, because its gonna be a long ride!

A Detailed REVIEW On The LAS-99 Quasar Cannon | Helldivers Handbook | Helldivers2

Ryken XIV 2024-04-09 | Greetings Helldivers!

Today we're going to take a good look at the newest editions to our stratagem support weapon arsenal: the Quasar Cannon!

An energy-based rocket launcher, the Quasar marries the strength of rockets with the sustainability of laser weapons, resulting in a support weapon that feels almost too good given how many things it can accomplish on its own!

However, is that really the case? We compare it against our other rocket launchers to find out just how strong the Quasar Cannon really is!

Helldiver Opening Tutorial and Naming Your Destroyer! | Gameplay | Helldivers 2

Ryken XIV 2024-02-08 | Hello Varlets!

Kicking things off with the opening training section of Helldivers 2!

Just from the tutorial alone, I think I'm going to have fun with some of the games mechanics and the kind of strategies you can employ in your actual gameplay!

I made a mistake of not thinking and accidentally skipped choosing my Destroyer's name... Wish I could go back and revert that choice but oh well.. Maybe I can redo it in the future somehow?

Stay tuned for more Helldivers stuff!

Weapon Reviews have returned!

After much thought about how I wanted to my review to change up since the introduction of Patch #13, I've finally settled on what I wanted them to be.

In this video, we'll be taking a look at the Revolvers - both the Zarona Mk IIa and the Agripinaa XIV Fan Fire! We'll be exploring their stats, their damage profiles, characteristics, and finding out interesting synergies we can pair with them to really bring out their potential!

My Thoughts and Suggestions on the whole Grimoire Thing | State Of The Game | Warhammer40k: DARKTIDE

Ryken XIV 2024-01-21 | Hello Varlets!

The last few days has seen the Darktide Reddit filled with discussion over the topic of Grimoires in the game.

So, seeing as I forgot to include my thoughts about Scriptures and Grimoires in my Wishlist 2024 video, I figured this would be a perfect opportunity to both cover what I would have done to make Grimoires relevant as well as my position on the whole Grimoire discussion thing.

My DARKTIDE Wishlist for 2024! | State Of The Game | Warhammer40k: DARKTIDE

Ryken XIV 2024-01-18 | Hello Varlets!

Today I want to talk about what I'm hoping to see come into Darktide in 2024!

Darktide has come a long way since launch over a year ago, and now that we've received a bunch of updates and improvements, the game is in a very solid place.

But just because it's become a good game, doesn't mean it can't get better! So, in this video, I'm covering what I personally would love to see enter game to make the greatest game I know it can become!

So sit back, relax, and let your imagination flow freely at the possibilities that lay ahead!

Happy New Year!

This is the first video of 2024 and I thought "What better way to start a new year of Darktide, than to take a moment to look back at all things we've covered on this channel and take stock at how far we've come?"

This was technically supposed to be the last video of 2023, but because of festive shenanigans, I had to push this video back till 2024, making the first video of the year...

There's much in this video I've already covered in my past videos, so if you're a avid view of this channel, you should know most of them. HOWEVER, I've also included a couple of things I've not talked about before, revealing them here if you are willing to sit through :)

Psyker CINDER MAGE Build | Class Build Guide | Warhammer40k: DARKTIDE

Ryken XIV 2023-12-28 | Hello Varlets!

Merry (belated) Christmas!

Today, I have for you a guide I've been working on for sometime now - the Cinder Mage! This a Purgatus Psyker that is built to take on almost all situations on its own, and is very capable of supporting a team with lots of firepower (no pun intended).

This guide will go over the role of the build, the weapon choices, and a section for combat tactics that you can implement in your own games, or at the very least, provide you with some useful knowledge that you can pocket and use when the situation calls for it!

This video has introduces a new intro section that weaves in a little bit of world-building and character into my build videos too! Let me know what you think of it!

Zealot PHANTOM ASSASSIN Build | Class build Guide | Warhammer40k: DARKTIDE

Ryken XIV 2023-12-19 | Hello Varlets!

Today we have... probably one of the most polarizing builds in Darktide - the Knife-wielding Invis Zealot.

Played with little thought and selfishly, it is nothing but a nuisance to the team and can even make playing the mission a nightmare. This build also gets a bad rep for being closely associated with speedrunners rushing ahead and leaving everyone else behind.

However, if played correctly with strategy and tactics, this build can still reward you with the thrill of the rush but in a way that benefits everyone on the team!

In this video, I'll show you my take on the Assassin Zealot along with a handful of tactics you can employ to improve your presence in your team as a positive force!

EVERY Class and Loadouts to FARM the Twins FAST! | Orthus Offensive | Warhammer40k: DARKTIDE

Ryken XIV 2023-12-16 | Hello Varlets!

Today I have for you a... farming guide of sorts? Its basically the experiment log of my team and I trying to figure out how to do the Orthus Offensive mission on Damnation as quickly as possible.

Why? Because its a pretty good source of Transcendent (orange-tier) loot!

In this video, I go over all of the loadouts for all classes that I think (in my limited experience) are the best suited for running the missions as quickly and as smoothly as possible.

Of course, because this mission has only been out for a bit, there probably more builds you can optimize your run with, but I think being able to consistent clear it with the least amount of work and in the most relaxed way is probably a good balance rather than min-maxing to the fullest with no margin for error.

I don't know how long this mission will last for, so enjoy farming it while you can!
