This is an outdated, though still functioning version of the Gunlugger Ogryn build. To see what I like to currently run, check out the links below:

Pros: Probably the highest single target DPS in the game, deal with important threats from a distance, great survivability.
Cons: Very ammo dependent, low melee damage, slow.
Weapons
For your melee weapon this is going to be your preference, you aren't locked to any specific one. Just make sure your melee weapon can deal with Carapace and you're good to go.
Your ranged weapon should be the Achlys Mk VII Twin-Linked Heavy Stubber because it has the fastest rate of fire of each of the stubbers and has the best ammo economy for what we are going to be doing. You're going to want crit chance and unyielding damage which will allow us to kill bosses on average around 2 seconds faster (which is a huge difference when we are talking about an 11 second time to kill versus 9 seconds on a BOSS). For your blessings you'll want Blaze Away and Charmed Reload.
Curios
For Curios on the Ogryn I like to stack toughness because you get really high value from having high max toughness. Grab Ability Cooldown, Stamina Regeneration, Gunner Damage Reduction, Sprint Efficiency, and Block Efficiency. You're going to be using your ability whenever it's up so you really want as much cooldown reduction as you can get and stacking stamina benefits makes surviving much easier.
Talents
I take Furious, The Best Defense, and Smash 'Em in most of my Ogryn setups because of the survivability it offers, but these are flex points if you are using a weapon that is taking care of your toughness regeneration.
Heavyweight, Reloaded and Ready, and Steady Grip offer great synergy for boss damage.
Frag Bomb is best used on mixed hordes to maximize its damage output and we are locked into Soften Them Up.
Point Blank Barrage is our bread and butter and with Light 'Em Up. This combo allows us to spread Burn on everything really quickly and address our stubber's biggest weakness: its range. Burn is going to help us with crossfiring and killing targets from further away since it doesn't matter how much damage our individual bullets deal, most gunners are going to die to max burn stacks in a couple of seconds regardless of their distance from you.
Get Stuck In and Bruiser are amazing talents that every Ogryn should take in their build for the amazing utility they offer to your team and yourself. This is how we are going to be able to use Point Blank Barrage every 30 seconds (or less) and essentially ignore reloading our weapon.
Burst Limiter Override is our keystone of choice here and it's going to allow us to crit more, shoot more, have better ammo economy, and have quicker ability cooldown reduction. This allows us to stay in the fight and keep doing damage.
