Intro:This is the defense-oriented version of A Pimp Named Slickback, using Loyal Protector instead of Indomitable, with Confident Strike instead of Thunderous on the "Brunt's Pride" Mk II Bully Club . Because of a lack of Thunderous, we are taking the Hard Knocks node, which further increases damage against staggered enemies. Alternatively, we can take Thunderous/Confident Strike.This is a stupid and very viable build for any Ogryn Bully Club, but I specifically use the "Brunt's Pride" Mk II Bully Club because of the punch follow-up, which means that Ogryn can box. The fluidity of this combo makes the Mk 2 the prime weapon for our purposes, but the "Brunt's Basher" Mk IIIb Bully Club can also be used here for light spam/slap or slap + heavy combo spam, which is less fluid and fast. This is a generalist Heavy Hitter build can be tailored to suit your needs however you want. Somewhat inspired by the Havoc 40 slap only run by Hamdolsun, Ainz, Orjan, and Kejetok: https://youtu.be/Jg9NooSsEzU?si=v_joNYxBkBWIjDMEHow do you play? Slap and clap. Literally. Special -> light attack and repeat. Horde? Slap and clap. Bosses? Slap and clap. Elites? Slap and clap.Why are we doing a light attack? Because this makes your Ogryn throw a punch that does decent damage and is suitable for anything. Watch yourself doing eyebrow-raising amounts of damage. This build is primarily a Havoc build, but as a consequence can work in Auric/Maelstrom. I have personally taken it into H40.This build can work in Havoc and Auric/Maelstrom, albeit with a little more effort compared to the other version, due to the lack of Thunderous . You basically need to push everything to proc Brutish Strength , which will debuff enemies with brittleness. This build will not stunlock Chaos Spawns because of the lack of Indomitable.Build breakdown:Strongman can be swapped with Can't Hit Me...Again, dropping Slam, for extra Gunner Resist, and actually, you can use that instead of Gunner Resist on your curios, or Focused Fighter . You can also choose to use Loyal Protector (Taunt) instead of Indomitable (Charge). All preference.My preferred sidearm is the Blastoom Mk III Grenadier Gauntlet . If you don't like the GG, you can take any Heavy Stubber you prefer. If you want to use the Foe-Rend Mk V Ripper Gun, you can take that with Inspiring Barrage , and then take the point off of Steady Grip for something else, should you choose to do so. With a proper dump stat Ripper (66% Ammo/74% Collateral, this reduces the magazine size to 19 rounds and can proc blessings quicker without sacrificing ammo reserves, and lowering Collateral has the least impact on the gun), Inspiring will regenerate your Toughness in 2 bursts.Bruiser rewards us for killing things that we should already be doing, which are elites. Ogryn's role on the team is to take and dish out damage EQUALLY, he does not struggle against single targets. There is no such thing as "letting the lil' uns take care of threats", that's your job.Why No Hurting Friends!? Because it works globally, that's why. If you don't want free damage boosts from *anyone* taking damage, *anywhere*, which is *always*, plus the 15% TDR at max stacks which are easily to build, then fine by me.Grenades are preference, but Bigger Box of Hurt gets more mileage in Havoc; You get 3 of them and the AoE stagger is always useful. Enemy health gets more inflated the higher you go in Havoc, and as a result, are more likely to survive a Frag Bomb explosion. Those can still be useful, especially for clearing Daemonhost Rituals; A bomb in the center of the ritual can kill all summoners, but this will require more buffs.Curios:Generally, Ogryn curios can be x3 Toughness or x2 Toughness and x1 HP, especially in Havoc. In Auric, HP curios are too excessive.
For perks, it depends; If you have Can't Hit Me...Again , you can forgo 1 Gunner Resist, so it would be x2 +5% HP, x1 Gunner Resist. If you are using Strongman , x2 Gunner Resist and x1 +5% HP. Ability regen on curios is preference. Corruption Resist is viable in Havoc. Ogryn has a lot of stamina so those curios and perks are unneeded. Toughness Regen perks are useless because they only affect *coherency* toughness regen, which is disabled when in combat. Ending:Credit to BigSlappy for inspiring this variant.Credit to Captain Rex for the name. Why is this called A Pimp Named Slickback? "I was present that game where Bushman wanted to test this on Auric, and since I am a mediocre memester and the slickback cringe from a few years earlier was still burned inside my mind, the connection between a pimp who's internet famous for slapping women and a comically large brute literally slapping the horrors of hell to death just arose from the shrouded depths of my corroded mind. I do not apologize. I regret nothing."If you want the more "normal" offensive all-rounder, see here: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9f216b22-5986-46c1-b519-fa8e55e1dc29/a-pimp-named-slickback-havoc-auric-damnationThe other version of A Pimp Named Slickback has been critiqued and approved by Hamdolsun, the legend himself.
