Description

Dis build is for when you wanna be real clever-like, sah. You bonk da 'orde wif yer big stick, and every time ya smash 'em up, you get closer to a Lucky Bullet, yeh? Need 9 bonks — er, kills — to make da shooty free. Then you shoot da bad thing real good. If it’s in da 'orde, yer arms get all strong-like and you hit way 'arder! And if ya krump an elite, you gets extra rendin’, which is like... cuttin' 'arder or sumfin'.
Ain’t tried dis in da High Screamy Missions yet, sah, but it works nice for me. Da Picky-Pick (MK II) does real big smashes if you spam da heavy button, but I loves me Bully Club — it go bonk real satisfyin’-like.
If yer Toughness go down too quick, sah, swap out Thunderous for Confident Smacky One on da club. It makes yer blue bar go up when you hit 'em, yeh?
Go out dere and SMASH GOOD, sah!
Have fun, don’t die. Unless it’s funny.
For Non-Ogre Brains:
This build focuses on turning your Ogryn into a Weapon Specialist. You’ll primarily use melee attacks to clear hordes and build up Lucky Bullet stacks — it takes 9 kills to guarantee a free shot. Once ready, you can use that free shot on any target you choose. If you use it into a horde, you’ll get a massive melee damage boost, and killing an elite adds +10% Rending for even more damage potential.
I haven’t tested this in High Havoc missions yet, but it’s worked well for me so far. While the MK II Pickaxe might be more effective overall, I personally prefer the Bully Club for its feel and fun.
If you’re struggling with Toughness sustain, consider swapping out Thunderous for Confident Strike on the Club.
Have fun out there! :)
Build Variations:
(one of my Favorites) the Highspeed Demon: Drop the following Stomping Boots, Trample, Dominate & Payback Time and take Unstoppable Momentum, Get Stuck In, Slam and No Hurting Friends (or Dedicated Practice.)
If you feel good enough and do not struggle with Toughness, you can consider taking the MK II Pickaxe, dropping the Indomitable Upgrades and taking "Implacable" & "No Stopping Me" (Bottom Left) - this is super fun. (you could also consider taking "Beat them Back" instead of "Batter" in this)
(this makes the "Batter" & "Delight in Destruction" Combo Weaker as you Insta-Kill Trash Mobs, so be aware of that)
If you don't want the Toughness Reset and Damage Boost from the Indomitable Upgrades, but want to use the Bully Club you can take "Get Stuck in" and "No Hurting Friends" (Bottom Middle) (recommended by r/serpiccio on Reddit)
