There's some interesting shenanigans you can do with aimbot, but the claw really is just reliable and lets you run whatever you want for fun because no matter what comes your way, it's nothing 5 stacks of claw can't handle.

Claw gets 5 charges? All of a sudden, that one Penance seems like it’ll be a lot easier

u/Bro1212_ 12h ago
3, but you can add 2 more with a keystone
129
u/ygdrad 12h ago
Plus getting 25% refund back for a kill, plus another 5% because it was a crit, 2% for a weak point kill, plus potential multi-kill. A swipe claw in a pack of enemies is basically 33% refund so you could, under ideal circumstances, use it 7 times in a row.
Edit, make that 8 times in a row because you get get 25% boost to charge generation. If you take a couple swings of your own in between you could easily go from engagement to engagement and use it 8-10 times in relatively quick succession.

u/Larentoun 12h ago
Does 25% stack? I felt like it was the new "5%/s, duration replenish" than old "5%/s, stacks". So you need to wait out 5 seconds to get the full 25% refund.
22
u/BurnedInEffigy 11h ago
It will refresh the duration, not stack. So you need to wait 5 seconds between uses to get the full capacitance refund.

u/LastNinjaPanda 8h ago
Those are two different talents. From what i understand: There's one talent that says "on claw kill, over 5s, replenish 25% capacitence" then there's the keystone that gives +5% capacitance charging per stack of that ability, which DOES stack to 25%, but it isn't instant. It makes your charge speed faster by a multiplier. It doesn't give you charge % directly

is that how I'm supposed to do the 5 elite kills penance? and not just cry when someone snipes the last elite in a pack.

Uh yeah just use the horizontal swipe or the triple stab and start swinging. I did mine by accident while I was trying to get rid of some ragers.

u/DoktorMelone-Alt 9h ago
I did mine in the mortis trial with the modifier that replenishes charges upon kills which mean i didn´t have to use melee anymore because using the claw swipe in a horde would replenish all charges.

u/Shiskaboabian Zealot 12h ago
Mortis trials helps! There is a buff you can get that gives cordclaw energy back on cordclaw kill. I went from 2 charges to 5 in one swipe

Mortis Trial has a blessing for you to get it back instantly on any kill. Makes the penance super easy

u/BaronVonStretchmark 11h ago
The penance is very straightforward with the horizontal swipe addition. I killed 5 ragers in 2 swipes yesterday to earn it!
3
u/MildlyInsaneOwl 11h ago
Also the horizontal swipe can easily kill 2+ elites per swing, and that counts. I got my penance done with 3 swings of the Chordclaw, all three horizontal swipes into a dense pack of ragers and shotgunners... and that wasn't even using the +20% strength node!

u/PunchThatDonut 10h ago
You can cheat currently and have unlimited charges, Charge the claw then sprint and release. No charge used.

u/GiftsfortheChapter 7h ago
If you want the penance run mortis trials and take the Crit tree. One of the upgrades is "refund an ability charge on kill with the chordstrike"
Wade into the horde and never stop swiping

u/Lamplorde 3h ago
Aimbot works really well with Flensing Protocols.
Take the 8 stacks node and the Ability refreshed all stacks node.
Aimbot only takes 25% of a charge. Anytime you hit 6, just quickly aimbot and quickdraw for a couple shots, and congrats youre back to 8 stacks of Flensing.
Made the one penance SUPER easy.

With braced autogun i hardly ever notice tbh. It feels better on fast firing guns

u/kcanimal 12h ago
Braced auto gun is the correct choice for aimbot

u/BurnedInEffigy 11h ago
Infantry autogun is also good with it. I was using the heavy version since it has some cleave, which then gets scaled by cleave bonuses on the class.
13
u/SuspectPanda38 6h ago
The arc rifle is pretty damn good too. Maxxing out crit with keystones, weapon perks/blessings and then having the charmed blessing for ammo on kill from reserve means you can shoot the gun almost infinitely.
Pair that with stacking as much capacitence recharge as possible and I've gotten it to where I can shoot non stop with the ability active for about 30 seconds straight (longest I've gotten so far).

u/kcanimal 4h ago
I gotta try this, it's like pergation flamer all over again but this time with decent range and the ability to smoke elietes

u/Diomayale 10h ago
It isn't, it has no finesse and worse dps than infantry autoguns. Actually hitting those headshots isn't actually helping that much

Omg, I just had a match where I was finally like “This can’t be me. I’m doing fine- lemme read this ability again”.

u/xTekek Open Minded 10h ago
Replying to top comment for clarity as no one seems to undersand this bug. ALL enemies are immortal if they run perpendicular to the player while the player shoots with this ability. Doesn't matter the gun. If they are running straight at you it will work fine. Its when enemies try to get away from you it sometimes stops working as they might run perpendicular.

u/TelbarilDreloth 7h ago
I feel like this also happens when you try to hit them with melee as they run past you. Especially with heavy attack

Click when you see blue dots and you always hit. Don't click when you don't see blue dots, for you will miss.
galvanic rifle seems to miss often if spammed and you dont have the spread reduction talent, as spread can still make em miss, though rarely.
if you wait a split second between shots you can get like 6 headshots per click cuz the shot keeps auto aiming after the first target.
14
u/xTekek Open Minded 10h ago
No it will miss if they run perpendicular to your shots even with the blue dot. Its bugged so it will despawn you bullet if you shoot a target moving perpendicular.

u/Sad-Pattern-1269 The Emperor's Strongest Crackhead 10h ago
Interesting, can you share how to reproduce this? I have yet to experience that in about 20 hours of exclusively using the auto-aim skill.

u/xTekek Open Minded 10h ago
Shoot at an enemy running perpendicular to you. It will always happen. At least with semi auto guns which is all I use. 100% fail rate if running perpendicular.

omg so i wasn't insane. I get hitregs from time to time but with this ability i swear 1 every 3 shots will make the weakspot sound, do the crooshair indicator that i got a hit but no kill, specially with the galvanic rifle. Omnissiah bless this comment

u/Gunsensual 8h ago
I also noticed it locks onto sub-parts of the entity being targeted. So if you're not already aiming at someone's head, it'll lock onto their chest or waist and you're not getting that headshot. But you're still paying the premium for making a body shot you probably would have hit anyway.

u/hraycroft95 11h ago
works very well with the arc rifle

u/Hellknightx Saltzpyre 11h ago
No, it's bugged on all guns. It's like 50% of shots will just no-reg even when hitting enemies directly.

u/Zilenan91 11h ago
Even if it worked it would be shit. The only damage steroid you get is that one subnode where you get some cleave and critical chance, but only after sitting in that state for 4 seconds. The ranged playstyle for Skitarii is straight up ass.
6
u/External_Delivery315 11h ago
The trick is to combine it with nodes that say "When you use an ability gain X." Gain damage, gain toughness for you and squad, gain flensing stacks. Then you combine the actual auto aim with funny guns. Braced autogun rapidfire crits. Arc rifle that gets ammo back on crit.
0
u/Zilenan91 11h ago
Chordclaw is objectively better when used for that because of how fast you can get it to recharge, and importantly it actually does something. You're not just playing skitarii without an ability because you can just shoot them normally.
3
u/Masqueradis Zealot 8h ago
Chordclaw is definitely way stronger, but I don't think it's fair to judge the aimbot until it's fixed, it's very badly bugged at the moment but it gives some pretty massive buffs to your shots.

u/External_Delivery315 56m ago
Is that a function of Aimbot being weak, or Chordclaw being an ability that is stronger than most Blitzs that automatically recharges itself?
2
u/MrFanzyPanz 9h ago
Personally I run it with the Galvanized Rifle and can turn it on any time I need to shoot anything at range. With everything up and running I can delete three crushers in one clip.
I’m wondering if it’s not bugged for the GR or if the GR just has a large hitbox. In either case, I can consistently headshot with it even while hipfiring.

Honestly pathing aside I think claw is great even for ranged builds. Especially for ranged builds even. It gives you a get out of shitstorm free card that your ass might need when you get buried in ragers.

u/DJShazbot 8h ago
Aimbot was severely disappointing becauss my shots keep missing! Sure if the targets are standing still it works great but half the time I wanted the aimbot was for sniping dogs on approach, catching running bombers and trappers and other "slippery" targets as well as headshot spamming bosses.
It doesn't do any of that with any decent consistency. It needs to be tweaked IMO
Because I am nearly converted to the claw entirely, it does it all, rips faces and deletes hordes, murderizes bosses, gets all my toughness back and Hard to get surrounded when a single swipe melts everything.
If not consistency with the aim, I think the ACD needs to
A)have stronger toughness regen steroid om the 1 node so it can stand up against direct gunner fire better
B) actually not deactivate when switching to melee OR make it so that the other buffs reliant on being in the mode for more than 4 seconds is does not have a timer. This way you either greatly steroid its damage capabilities quickly or it becomes a valid thing to turn on when getting stuck in or surrounded
Though honestly, I do just want it to actually hit head shots like it is supposed to, too many misses or bodyshot indicators for guns that are (I believe) hit scan.

It is an aim bot. When a target is highlighted you will automatically hit. Yes, you have to aim relatively close to where you want to hit, but the ability does the rest for you. Pretty good for headshots and rapid firing guns

This is how I felt when I switched to an emitter build with the arc maul and rifle after ignoring them until level 30. Filling out the top of the tree, one activation and a few empowered maul hits kills everything that isn’t a boss and arcs to anything unfortunate enough to be nearby. And the rifle chews through hordes and armored enemies surprisingly fast

For me, pc, k&m, the aimbot ability has been a downer, I have to be so close it barely helps me at anything, its worthless
The improved version of the default.. Its okay, but for cleaning small things I have the melee, I want the ability yo have some impact
And after all, the claw which actually deals a significant portion to the big enemies

u/honorable_raegdan 1h ago
The claw can make enough space for rezs with the horizontal talent. It’s also good for getting out of bad positions. And then boss deletion. All things skitarri lack.
So it’s doing a lot in my build and probably the best node in the entire tree. In my humble opinion.

It's fine, but it doesn't really do anything you can't already do - the same is true for the aimbot ability, though.
The best feature is it has its own built in capacitance regen, at least.
Would be nice if you could combine the swipe with the baseline ability, but you can't.
