 Ogryn Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

This is an Auric functional Tanky/cleave based Ogryn build with a mix of strong defences and good non-boss damage (Though it is capable of doing reliable boss damage with the Heavy Stubber). 

This is a tested build, having done about 450k damage in an Auric (second highest for that run) with highest weakspot hits and ended up topping the overall team score while being fully downed once (all players were downed between 1-3 times. So wasn't a cake walk or anything).

With the cleaving power on weakspot hits you can aim basically straight forward with the shield and hit head level of the swarm, clearing out multiple enemies per swing with ease. Even while duelling elites, you will passively clear trash mobs around them.

You want to cycle Heavy Attack > Shield Push/Bash > Heavy Attack > Shield Push/Bash.

This helps keep your stacks of Feel No Pain capped out for maximum effect while also applying the 40% brittle from your weapon mastery.

For some context, with diminishing returns, this build STILL has 82.82% damage reduction. 82.81504% to be precise (including Ogryn's base DR)

You can also three shot crushers if you open with push first. So Push > Heavy > Heavy > Heavy.

If you use Loyal Protector, then you are capable of two shotting them with the +25% damage amplification.

It's a strange build and I haven't seen anyone else running this particular combination so I wanted to share it so others could enjoy.

P.S. The Build name comes from the most common thing being said while pushing through swarm filled Gauntlets. lol.
