I’ve been running a build pretty close to this (can’t get flechette for the life of me) and it is so great. Finally took my attention from the Achlys build haha. Mongo has never felt more heroic
In Mongo We Trust! Great name for an Ogryn lol I love that stubber but yeah I was feeling like it was all I was using. I want a couple more ranged options for the Ogryn one day. I am working on another build for the big boy as we speak, one that wont require you to need flechette.
I don't play Ogryn much but I did want to try out the new shovel, so thanks for the build! The special attack is surprisingly devastating to juicy targets, but I find the more typical situation is a mixed group enemies and just swinging light attacks at them keeps them fairly suppressed/stunned/knocked around enough they can't attack back. But if you just have one random gunner or rager come up to you, it's lights out for that fool 😁
I’ve had a lot of fun playing aurics with other classes but never really liked ogryn since release, but I tried a similar build with the new MK V shovel and a ripper gun and it’s insanely fun
I believe in trying things out with a bunch of different weapons, eventually learning where your weaknesses lie and making sure you can survive has been my focus on most builds. Fun is also an important factor for me too, I really just want that more than anything, I also see complaints about Ogryns and how they aren't a good time, meanwhile you can just make something like this and breeze through stuff.
@@zenpally I feel like a big problem with ogryn is either trying to make a ranged build with a heavy stubbed but, that doesn’t work if you don’t have all the skill point and a great weapon. Also another mistake trying to make a tank build with shield without taking any dmg dealing talents.
@@BashfulBishop yeah, but once you find that balance you can really enjoy the class a lot more. I did make a shield Ogryn as one of my original builds on here, and while I love playing him because he demolishes monstrosities with the Rumbler, it is a pretty slow feeling build because of the shield. I'm just glad we got more weapons and versatility. Darktide is shaping up nicely now and I imagine we will continue getting balanced and tweaks as time passes to make every class feel distinct.
I was just thinking "wow those mines caused a lot of corruption to you" as you started typing that in game. There's also a new Mk V shovel with strikedown lights and sweep heavies, along with the same folding weapon special. I'm not sure what it's good at.
🤣 glad I wasn't alone, I couldn't believe how fast it filled my wounds tbh, but yeah other new shovel feels good too, but a little too similar. Definitely hard to tell, might have to test out damage numbers with strike downs. I wonder if it's kind of like the bully clubs or maybe how other heavy weapons like the heavy sword marks when you level up. It might just be a placeholder for a higher mark or a different move in the moveset.

Exactly, and my pleasure. I hope you have a great time decimating crushers and picking fights with specialists that dare approach you.
