Warhammer 40,000: Darktide – Guide for a Cooldown Reduction Melee Zealot

This is just a simple guide for a Cooldown reduction Melee Zealot.

Faithful Stalwart

This is what I am currently running on my Zealot. With the 3 cool-down Modifiers plus Stalwart and Redoubled Zeal. The Fury of Faithful seems to be up quiet often. Toughness stays full quite easy with this build. Anoint in Blood allows you to use the slug shotgun to pop off specials or Elites.

I find it best to stay with the team, and only change sides of the group as the cool down reduction allows you to respond in Melee faster than others.

My current Weapons: 550 Turtolsky Mk VII Heavy Sword (25% Maniac, 25% Infested, Rampage 4, Headtaker 4)

544 Agripinaa Mk VII Combat Shotgun (25% Maniac, 25% Flak, Hit and Run 4 Full Bore 4) NOTE: This shotgun on Maulers it is better to body shot then head-shot due to Flak vs Carapace)
