Mobility 80 knife silly fast, now me sneaky-stabby yes yes!
UPDATE 29.9.2026 Depths of the Damned: Tree rework freed up 6 stat nodes so time to go shopping!
- On the way to Massacre we now get Reloaded and Ready for bit more oomph when heavy on the trigger and Found Some More to keep shoosting!
- Staying alive more: No Pushover for control between stabbings, Too Stubborn to Die because we are.
- Hurt 'em: Dominate those 'ard 'eads, Trample to get stuck in which is always Payback Time.
Build Guide:
Put on Stomping Boots, run by Unstoppable Momentum , stab n' slice all spiky men. Rippa makes bloody mess, good fun. Strongman Don't Feel a Thing , never die!
For a change of pace I picked up the Rambo knife (dump stat on Cleave Damage, you still cut horde like hay on H2 > L3 loop) and have been enjoying crazy sprint speed. Ogryn can be fast, who knew?
Rambo Knife also speshul ogryn weapon, L1 L2 stab stab have good kriti.. cirit... smart hit bonus! Can do big number Massacre! Who the ninja now?! (Ogryn only smart ~10% of time so cut Lucky Streak to get more fun with rocks.) Frenzied Blows Just Getting Started! even stab stab mega fast!
With Smash 'Em! and The Best Defence reworked to all melee and stabber's special Punch buffed we can now enjoy Tenderiser for extra oomph, Slaughterer for even more murder. Also picked No Hurting Friends! since it has very good uptime. If want be iimortl... if like no can die can swing with Confident Strike
Ripper 6 is the problem solver for anything heavy or shooty. Dedicated Practice gets you shooting or rocking in a hurry.
- New with big big number on kritikal hit, smart ogryn fancy shooting now!
- Crusher & Scab Mauler get speshul Can Opener stab stab spam triitment, no armor spiky men cry red tears, die fast.
- Ammo 66 stat silly cogitator numbers magic, 19 bullet magazine size make Blaze Away proc on every bullet, gets stronk right away! (10% of 19 = 1,9 which the game code rounds down to 1, so the blessing goes to full power in 5 shots.)
Spehsul people near and far say hello to Big Friendly Rock , it's ok if not so good aim because That One Didn't Count .
Knife combos:
- Most stuff, just stab stabbity stab stab spam.
- Punch to setup nasties, stops ogryns, maulers and ragers.
- Single target best hurt H1 > L1 > L2 stab stab loop.
- Horde clear H2 > L3 loop, Push attack gets you into this loop.
- Argh, too many, panik? Heavy spam for stagger, clear and toughness regen. or just stab stab light spam!
