☣️BORN'N'BLIGHT☣️HAVOC40
 Ogryn Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

🧱 Slab Shield — Control & Setup

The slab shield is your primary tool for owning space.

• Block, push, and stagger constantly to keep enemy aggro locked on you
• Push attacks apply Brittleness, softening targets for follow-up damage
• Blocking and pushing charges your ultimate, enabling frequent taunts
• Taunts trigger:
  • when enemies are blocked
  • when enemies are pushed
  • when your ultimate is used

This means simply playing defensively is actively pulling enemies off your team.

The slab excels at:

• Staggering elites and mixed hordes
• Creating revive windows
• Forcing dangerous enemies to face you instead of the backline

🪨 Big Friendly Rock — Mutant Control

Stones are your hard counter to charging threats.

• Throw rocks at mutants as they charge you or teammates
• Stops momentum instantly and prevents grabs
• Keeps pressure off allies without needing to reposition

You’re not chasing threats — you’re intercepting them.

🔫 Ripper Gun — Burst, Suppression & Safety

The ripper gun exists to capitalize on brittleness and handle emergencies.

• Burst down elites you’ve already staggered or softened
• Excellent horde clear when pressure spikes
• Acts as a panic button for quick toughness gain
• Reliable answer to:
  • Trappers
  • Snipers
  • Isolated priority threats

Blaze Away + Inspiring Barrage synergize perfectly with this role:

• Continuous fire boosts damage
• Simultaneously restores toughness
• Lets you stand your ground instead of disengaging

Role in Havoc 40

• Primary aggro holder — enemies stick to you by design
• Stability anchor — failed pushes recover around you
• Threat interceptor — mutants, elites, shooters get stopped early
• Team enabler — your presence creates safe space for damage dealers

This is not a speed build.
This is not a kill-chasing build.

This is the Ogryn that keeps the run alive when everything goes wrong.

Build Philosophy

You don’t avoid blight.
You don’t kite pressure hookup.
You don’t panic when spawns stack.

You stand there — blocking, pushing, taunting — until the enemy breaks.
