Random Ogryn Damnation run - Darktide

[@Dr_Scarlett]

I'm trying to get into damnation and I am getting chewed out when entering thinking I can cut it in some kind of tank support role. Your post on steam and this video got me convinced. Gan you tell me about the rest of your build? Your feats? Why the rumbler is more efficient? What curios to go for with this for Damnation?

Tried to remember to reply! If you have follow up questions, go for it, this is pretty brief: Important stuff: Confident strike and/or momentum on your weapon. Heavy preference for confident strike, ideally both if you wanna be extra C H O N K Y. EG: My current noif: i.imgur.com/63sximp.png Rumbler is extremely good utility along with having the largest AoE of any explosive in the game as far as I'm aware, along with a massive suppression radius. It also doubles as a long range donk option. Rending on it would be my ideal choice. Your biggest utility as ogryn is the fact that you're shoving enemies around like the big kid in the sandbox, even with your ranged weapons. Once you get good with it you can bounce grenades around in a ton of ways. Shoot it straight down to make a "No melee enemies allowed" safe zone around you. Bounce it off walls to deny poxbursters without even seeing them. Blow up 3 poxbursters in one go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXTae31uarKIras Curios I personally run two toughness and a health. I've been debating going with 3 toughness but the game *really* hates my ogryn and doesn't give me any good curios. Feats I run (1 being the top, 3 being the bottom, from left to right) 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3. The level 25 feats are all kind of whatever though.

My weapons look pretty good i.imgur.com/PAK8ANY.png i.imgur.com/sx5G8kV.png My feats I also had correct. These are my curios i.imgur.com/XNXcnMz.png i.imgur.com/nULL8Q3.png i.imgur.com/ddc8ElH.png My main problem is around gameplay - your core argument on steam. I'm an old dude, my reaction and especially (which is worse) my awareness have tanked over the years. It can happen I just missed some ranged or specials and get shredded in the heat of some horde, it really s***s. I need a bunch of practice on dodging, and using the rumbler right. I'll dive in lower missions and continue practicing. If you have more pointers, I'd love'em. Thanks for you encouraging video and replay anyway!

@@Dr_Scarlett Nah, wounds are kind of a waste IMO, you shouldn't be planning for failure. Avoid the failure in the first place with toughness/health curios.

You play well, but i think you use your nades in a weird way. This the way ogryn is supposed to be played. I tried the shield, at first. But you just need more DPS sometimes. I run the stubber now with carpace penetration and good ammo stats. That just mows armor down very fast when needed.

@@Zoralink47 I’d use them more often. You seem to save them.

[@Zoralink47]

@@syproful They're generally not worth it, neither in time taking to throw them nor in opportunity cost. Grenades are no guarantee and the other two grenadier classes have *much* better grenades than ogryn. (Particularly zealot grenades) They pretty much get reserved as a "That thing needs to die NOW" option. Primarily for mutants but on occasion I'll just it to bonk over things like crushers if a teammate is struggling with one and needs help NOW but my ranged weapon needs reloading. You're right that I save them, but that's more just because they're still pretty mediocre overall and not worth taking the pickup over a veteran/zealot. (Unless the veteran has the grenade regen feat/s)
