Unleash Havoc with the Ultimate Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Ogryn Rampage Build
Unleash havoc with the unstoppable might of the Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Ogryn Skullbreaker build Crush your enemies and revel in the thrill of this unparalleled gaming experience
Playing the role of the typical tank in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, the Ogryn is a formidable force. They charge headfirst into battle, surprisingly swift, and crush weak heretics with raw strength. This makes them the ideal choice for players who enjoy being the robust frontline fighter.
With the recent class update in Patch 13, the Ogryn has received significant buffs, elevating their effectiveness in the most challenging difficulty modes of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The well-known Skullbreaker archetype has been perfected, providing a solid foundation for the enjoyable bruiser playstyle that was present in the game's previous version. Here's how to construct this build.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Ogryn Build
This build is specifically designed for enhancing the Ogryn's melee capabilities. By selecting the appropriate perks from the left-hand side of the Ogryn's skill tree, players can optimize their melee damage output. The Skullbreaker line of skills is integral to this build, as it aims to improve the Ogryn's effectiveness in close combat while still ensuring their personal survival. Through the utilization of powerful heavy attacks, this build enables players to thin out hordes of enemies, exert control over the battlefield, and even inflict bleeding on opponents who manage to withstand the initial strike. The following table displays the skill build in its entirety:
1-10 Points | |

Attention Seeker (middle tree) | Pushing or blocking enemies taunts them |
Payback Time (middle tree) | Deal more damage for five seconds after getting hit by a melee attack |
In the midst of melee combat, this build excels due to Batter's ability to inflict Bleeding and Delight in Destruction, ultimately reducing damage taken by more than half. By adopting this setup, players can relentlessly execute heavy attacks while minimizing the damage received. Nevertheless, it remains crucial for players to block or dodge incoming attacks, as continuous minor damage can accumulate over time if left undefended.
Specifically within this build, the Achlys Mk I Power Maul proves to be highly effective due to its sweeping attacks and overall adaptability against all adversaries. Utilizing the alt-fire feature enhances its potential to swiftly dispatch Maulers and Ragers. Concerning Crushers, the ideal weapon choice for players would be a Ripper Gun with the Can Opener Blessing, granting the bayonet the ability to penetrate Carapace Armor.
Big Friendly Rock is the ideal choice for Blitz ability, as the Ripper Guns have limited range. It effectively eliminates Snipers, Gunners, and other long-ranged enemies. Alternatively, players can opt for Bombs Away, but this sacrifices range for more effective horde clear, which the Power Maul already excels at on its own.
When it comes to Curio stats, players have the freedom to choose whichever ones they prefer. However, it is recommended to prioritize Extra Health, Combat Ability Regeneration, and Stamina Regeneration for optimal performance.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
