"The Roughneck's a beast." - (Male) Loner Psyker
Scope: One of the strongest performing classes tailor made for consistently high mid/close damage. Built with a reliance on being flexible with both melee, ranged, and extreme aggression against the heretic of Tertium.
Ranged:
The Graia is an interesting gun. One of the key aspects of this is going to be its ammo reserves. With a max of 925, you'll be receiving 9.25 bullets a special kill allowing you to stupidly hold the trigger as you tear through the level with your squad. The damage is admittedly middling especially before your perks proc; however the stagger, penetration, and suppression make shooters cower and hordes stop in their tracks... as long as you got the bullets. It should have the ability to take out 3-5 ragers or 1 Crusher per magazine (because of Onslaught).
Its accuracy suffers past medium range but the hip fire is a strong tool that you'll be using to hold that "W" key rushing positions taking down shooters and suppressing crowds for you and your team. For chaff mobs, expect those bullets to go right through deleting multiple enemies with every salvo.
Melee:
We're gonna be using the shovel for this one for two reasons. Defense and versatility. The former I feel is pretty obvious so let's just skip to its usefulness. With Decimator, getting those damage stacks comes easy and has the potential to turn you into a lawnmower from a blender within a few seconds turning even the largest hordes into flying Heretics and dropping heads.
Weakpoints:
The shovel is a goddamn beast against everything except carapace and monstrosities. Even then, you should average about 700-1100 DPS against carapace. Getting overrun by them? No problem, just aim your auto gun and spray into all that metal and finish off the rest of the bruised and beaten. It is recommended you don't do this with Crushers, they can easily take the majority of a magazine healthy.
As for monstrosities? You should probably just spray n pray. You're not gonna do anything crazy in that department but you can for sure make them hurt and grab their attention for a little..
