LEFT CLICK MONSTA - H40 Taunt Bully Club Ogryn (COMPLETE GUIDE)
 Ogryn Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

LEFT CLICK MONSTA - Noob-friendly Ogryn build for H40

TLDR :

A very strong build for Havoc 40, easy to pilot and easy to integrate in any team. The core of the strategy is to taunt enemies as much and as many times as you can, packing & staggering them so you create space for your teamates to deal damage, while having some supporting / sniping possibilities for long range fights.

MELEE :

"Brunt's Basher" Mk IIIb Bully Club is an insane weapon. Extremely easy to play, huge stagger capability, allows Batter to stack the bleed fast in combination with Delight in Destruction for huge survability & cleaves correctly.

• Defense is the dump stat (less important than mobility on this weapon).
• +Flak (since it's the most common armor type you'll deal with in hordes) & +Carapace (to help you kill those nasty Crushers faster). +Maniac is a good option too to help with Mutants & Ragers (lesss usefull is you play with Big Friendly Rock thought).
• You can switch Thunderous to Confident Strike for even more survability (but I find it to be overkill, and killing Crusher / Armored enemies faster is very important).
• Combos :
  1. Horde clear : Light spam.
  2. Important target : Push Attack, Light, Heavy, repeat.
  3. Toughness regen / Stagger : Heavy, Heavy, repeat.

RANGED :

Achlys Mk II Heavy Stubber is a personal favorite to snipe important targets.

• Collateral is clearly the dump stat. The stagger isn't important on this weapon, since it already has so much and is used to one-shot basic ranged enemies & snipers.
• +Flak & +Unarmored (most ranged enemies you want to snipe will have that type of armor).
• With Steady Grip & Can't Hit Me...Again, it allows you to support your team in long range fights, before jumping into the battle.
• The long prep time is made shorter thanks to Dedicated Practice, allowing you to quickly snipe a priority target faster, even in the middle of a fight.

BLITZ :

Any Blitz is good in this build, so it's up to you.

• Big Friendly Rock to specifically help with Mutants (which Achlys Mk II Heavy Stubber struggles to kill).
• Frag Bomb for the instant delete button option (⚠️ Please take this for Heinous Rituals modifier, it can be very clutch in some scenarios & saved some of my games).
• Bombs Away! to add even more control and help with saving a teamate in the middle of enemies.

CURIOS :

• With Smash 'Em!, The Best Defence and Steady Grip giving pourcentage-based toughness & the attack speed we get from our main weapon, Frenzied Blows & Just Getting Started!, having as much toughness is very important, especially as a tank. That's why I opted for the triple toughness curios.
• Triple +Combat Ability Regeneration should be a must for almost every build.
• Since the buff to +Revive Speed (basically increasing your speed to all actions helping your teamates) and your job as a frontliner / tank / support, this stat has been at the center of so many clutches. Take it, you won't regret it.
• No shield, frontliner, huge hitbox. Gunners will be your main threats, so I went with the triple +Gunner Resistance.

Some changes you can do depending on your gamestyle & skill :

1. Change one curio to +Health.
2. Change one +Gunner Resisstance to +Sniper Resistance.
3. Change all the +Revive Speed to +Toughness or +Corrupt Resistance (I don't recommend it).

TALENTS & GAMEPLAY / GAMEPLAN :

1. TANKING & FRONTLINING : You can absorb a lot of damage before going down thanks to Heavyweight, Can't Hit Me...Again, Delight in Destruction & No Hurting Friends!.
2. TOUGHNESS REGENERATION : You sustain a ton with Smash 'Em!, The Best Defence & No Pain! . ⚠️Very important : Don't hesitate to mix in some Heavies to triple the regeneration.
3. TAUNTING THEN STAGGERING : Loyal Protector is the most important part of the build. You taunt all enemies on the map to create space for your teamates. You then stagger all of them thanks to "Brunt's Basher" Mk IIIb Bully Club and all talents increasing your Impact (Slam, Strike True & No Hurting Friends!). @Go Again! & Bruiser allow you to spam your taunt. No Pushover is excellent to calm down a bunch of Dreg Rager & Scab Rager coming at you.
4. LEFT CLICK MONSTA : You already deal a ton of damage thanks to "Brunt's Basher" Mk IIIb Bully Club base kit, but they can skyrocket with all the +Damage, Strength & Cleave (Heavyweight, Soften Them Up, Payback Time, Strike True, Heavy Hitter, No Hurting Friends!, Hard Knocks, Great Cleaver, Bonebreaker's Aura), the DoT you apply (Batter) and the +Attack Speed (Frenzied Blows, Just Getting Started!). Skullcrusher & Thunderous allow you to deal with tougher enemies.
5. SNIPING TARGETS : You can help your team with long range threats using Achlys Mk II Heavy Stubber & Big Friendly Rock. Dedicated Practice allows for smoother switches between them and Steady Grip lets you sustain damage.

LAST TIPS / TRICKS / OPTIMIZATION :

• It's very tempting to only use Light Attacks, but try squeezing in some Heavies to generate more toughness from Smash 'Em! & The Best Defence and faster stack of bleed from Batter.
• When there are no enemies around or in an elevator, utilize Steady Grip to regenerate toughness.
• Loyal Protector stops Mutant in the middle of their charge, force Scab Sniper & Dreg Tox Flamer / Scab Flamer to kick in the wind, make Dreg Tox Bomber / Scab Bomber drop their bombs, etc. There are a lot of small techs to maximize the effectiveness of this ability.
• Whenever in trouble (espacially against Dreg Rager & Scab Rager), don't forget about No Pushover. That perk is very strong.
• Get used to switching to Achlys Mk II Heavy Stubber in the middle of a fight to snipe an important threat (especially Scab Sniper).
