One of the new playstyles for the Ogryn coming in Patch 13 is the infamous Gunlugger, something that Ogryn lovers have been requesting for ages. This build is represented by the third branch, which goes down the right side of the skill tree and has a heavy focus on maximum firepower that includes such upgrades as....
- The Blitz: Frag Bomb, an oversized grenade that detonates with incredible force, dealing enough damage to kill almost anything caught in its explosion -- but you can only carry one at a time. Use it wisely.
- The Ability: Point-Blank Barrage, a temporary buff to rate of fire and reload speed which proves that sheer volume of fire is just as good as accuracy. Can be upgraded to also include a close-range damage and movement speed increase, the ability to rend through enemy armor with any gun, or incendiary rounds that set everything you shoot on fire (which is what I used here).
- The Aura: Coward Culling, +20% damage to suppressed enemies for you and your teammates within coherency. An excellent DPS boost once the bullets start flying and the heretics are ducking for cover.
- The Keystone: Burst Limiter Override, which gives you a chance for every bullet to become a Lucky Shot and not consume any ammo when fired. Can be further upgraded to turn Lucky Shots into guaranteed crits, reduce ability cooldown when triggered, and to improve the proc chance. Fantastic synergy with the Charmed Reload blessing for the Heavy Stubber, which I was also using.
... and many other talents and stat nodes besides. I highlighted the ones I used in this Heavy Stubber build at the start of the video.
Additionally, the Krourk Mk4 Cleaver received a very nice rework to its moveset and a buff to its damage and ability to punch through enemy armor. To my fellow Ogryns who had previously dismissed "the stabby knife" in favour of the Bull Butcher; you should absolutely check it out again once the patch drops.
The L1 and L2 stabs have increased in power and the L3 attack has been replaced by a sweep that chains perfectly into the even bigger H2 sweep, giving the weapon both single-target damage (with enough power to oneshot enemy Bruisers with a head-stab) and fantastic hordeclear. I was still getting a little used to the new combo when I recorded this playthrough but you can see me use it a few times. And, frankly, even mindless stabbing still gets the job done.
This versatility makes it an excellent melee weapon for Gunlugger builds so you can save your ammo for the biggest threats. For more Ogryn tips, keep an eye on this channel for the coming of the Ogrynomicon guide!

Wow, this guy is super cool, and also good at videogames, and I bet a handsome chad too. I wish he would upload more, with face and footcam

[@LightningBoltah]

This tree looks like a huge improvement for Ogryn holy shit

[@decsev2210]

Some people think they can outsmart me Maybe maybe I have yet met one that can outsmart bullet.

[@100skinks]

Slavic Ogryn is bout to go full Heavy!

[@selmevias1383]

Imagine not taking the +22% explosion radius to replace the frag grenade with a half map nuke.

[@solarupdraft]

Congrats on your videos blowing up lately, hope you get some subs

[@hamishblair7504]

Holy smokes that bomb! 😂 I’m so pleased with how over the top that is lol. Krakin

[@chilicookoff2017]

Very solid but i would much rather take 5% less spread over 5% more ranged damage. Stubbers feel terrible to use against anything over 10 meters, especially mk7. Still hyped for this but sad to see 0 accuracy bonuses while braced

[@hecc7906]

Same, missed opportunity

[@Monchegorx]

sick

Been trying out this build and it's been really fun, though I dont have all the blessings and all. I've really been struggling dealing with crushers bc of their carapace armor and most of the time it comes down to me whittling their health down with the l1 l2 heavy 3 knife attacks. Any other tips for dealing with them, esp if they come in a mass of other enemies? The stubber does amazing dmg but not against them

[@hankjw_dt]

This was more of a demonstration of a pure Gunlugger build than a recommendation. I would try to spare some points to grab the Dominate talent from the Skullbreaker tree to give you +30% Rending (i.e. armor penetration) for 10 seconds after killing an Elite. This will let your Cleaver and Stubber deal with Crushers effectively after killing a weaker Elite enemy like a Rager or a Shotgunner.

[@junjiejiang4231]

@@hankjw_dt Gotcha, thanks for the reply. I assume your suggestions and what not will be in the eagerly-awaited Ogrynomicon, so would it be better to put the points you put into the middle tree to the far left to try and get rending or try to take points from elsewhere to do so? Also why not rending on the ability activation? Is the burn dps simply that much better?

[@Eirenband]

You got early access with 26 subs or was this open to everyone?

[@DaglessMc]

I know you had limited time to show off the talents but it was really hard to see. you went a bit too fast.

[@hankjw_dt]

You can pause the video to read the talent descriptions and go through them at your own pace.
