Small correction: While [Soften Them Up] does work to increase the damage over time effects - it only activates on melee hits!

thats rly good to know, i was upset that taking rocks plus a rumbler in a point blank build (for monster killing) would prevent me from getting soften them up, but if it doesnt work on range damage im much more happy to leave it behind.

Thank You. This should be made clear; it changes everything. And since it is on the gun side of the build, there is nothing to suggest it only works on melee (other than the feeling that it is too powerful with the Stubber which can hit many different enemies quickly all over the battle field, giving a near-universal team-wide 15% damage buff.)

Dude, your writing skills in this video are shining. I loved the way you presented the build through telling a story. *chefs kiss* Great work brother

A friend of mine is running a gun-ogryn build using the Achlys stubber, rocking the Charmed and also Blazed away. I was using the Gorgonum since it deals more damage per shot, but I've become convince the Achlys might be better and have picked it up myself. It fires quicker, which gives it more chances-per-second to proc things like the Charmed loading a little more ammo, and way more chances to proc Lucky Bullet etc. Anyway, pair that up with the Light 'Em Up talent that makes shots during Point-Blank Barrage apply burn, it eats monstrosities alive in seconds. I'd heartily recommend it.

Love the narration and the background music. But, of course, we're all here for Kronk's expertise in bashing skulls. Thanks for this.

I play something similar since patch 13 actually. Heavy Dual Linked Stuber, with Charmed Reload and Ceasless Barage. Procing Lucky Bullet triggers Charmed Reload and stacks together with critical chance, so +5% on weapon and Massacre +8 brings you to a total of 18% crit and 8% lucky bullet. With 130 bullets in my weapon, rougly 50 bullets on avarage being added in through Charmed Reload and instant reload on the use of Point-Blank Barrage this means I have around 350 shots in total.

I totally would take heavy hitter keystone instead of lucky bullet. It makes the club goes even harder and would help reach you at certain break points to to one shot flamers and mutant, while saving ammo for the bigger threats like shooter patrols and boss. But with heavy hitter club you could solo spawn and pogryn. I found lucky bullet does barely anything meaningful and it really needs a rework. So far, most of my ogryn build all goes into heavy hitter or feel no pain keystone as they do make some significant improvement to my experience. My loadout are exactly similar, bully club I and ripper V. Can’t go wrong with these two ever since pre-patch. Looking forward to more build and longer gameplay showcase like these.

I'll have to try this out. My monster killing build really just uses the Rumbler with the sticky grenade blessing. Keeps monstrosities stun locked with each explosion.

I like the background music

THIS VIDEO WAS EXC... EX... UH GRUT IT... VERY GOOD!

I'm starving for a Ryken psyker build! Have you tried the trauma blazing spirit build? I think it's the highest dps build in the game... but it's not exactly new haha.

good vid

I love the idea of gun lugger... but I can do gun lugger things and be a heavy attack swinging monster or an unkillable anchor.

Have a Ripper gun thats got Can Opener on it, gives an insane amount of brittleness stacks that makes the carapace enemies easier to deal with. Just an Idea if you don't wanna swap weapons to deal with those armored foees

Not having done the breakpoint testing myself I will say my instinct is that the ripper gun would benefit from maniac over flak in your build.

@jiedimo787

8 ай бұрын

Yeah I'd say maniac is a must have on the ripper mk 5 since it lets you kill trappers in one burst and flamers in two bursts more reliably. Flak is also great since you're going to be shooting a lot of elites. I'd actually say unyielding feels unnecessary since you can still delete any boss in seconds if you take can opener over flechette. Can opener IV makes your ripper gun shots deal around ~38% more damage to unyielding enemies. If you factor in extra damage bonuses like reloaded and ready, soften them up, payback time, and blaze away, you really don't need more boss damage.

@rykenxiv

Flak is to improve the burning damage against Flak armour - making it more effective against patrols of Maulers and Ragers!

@rykenxiv

8 ай бұрын

That's a fair point! I think depending on how you'd like to take the Ripper, taking maniac over unyielding is certainly a viable choice! For this build, I wanted to go all-in against Monsters hence why Unyielding was my choice!

how do you get the extra info like health numbers for enemies and squad?

iirc lucky bullet's crit is seperate from actual crit chance, so it may potentially overlap, causing the crit to be wasted

I have been running my Ripper guns with Cavalcade and Flechette to maximize bleed output. It can kill a crusher in one box-mag on any mark of the weapon. I'd be interested to know how the extra damage from the crit and bleed compares to just running blaze away.

@rykenxiv

8 ай бұрын

I initially also had Cavalcade and Flechette setup! But after going through more testing, because Blaze Away improves the damage of Light'em Up and Bleed, it works out much better in terms of scaling in those short 3 mags. Before I needed to wait to for a chaos spawn to tick down, but with Blaze Away, I could basically down it just as I used up my 3rd Mag

Try this build with a kickback. Super fun with how it's been working now!

Could this build be modified to use a stubber instead of the rippers? Idk what it is but I’ve never enjoyed using the ripper guns even tho they’re so cool in concept to me

@rykenxiv

8 ай бұрын

I had the same thought as well, and while the Stubbers can kind of pulloff the same level of destruction, it takes much longer to down a monster (avg 30 seconds or so for Stubbers vs ~20 seconds for Ripper Guns) as Stubbers can't fully make use of Point Blank Barrages reload speed and doesn't have bleed damage!

can i use any ripper with this build? Or just the Mark V cause im a pretty big fan of the mark 2

@rykenxiv

8 ай бұрын

Technically you can use any Ripper - but I the Ripper V works the best because the fire rate of it allows you get Burn stacks up faster and make the most of the 10 seconds of Point Blank Barrage! Try it out with the other Rippers and see what you think!

I have a question as a few people have mentioned using Can Opener as a blessing to help deal with armoured enemies. To my understanding Can Opener only works when using the Rippers special attack; have I misunderstood something?

@rykenxiv

8 ай бұрын

Nope - you're exactly right. Can Opener only works after you hit your target with the bayonet attack (special) from the Ripper Gun

with the release of the pick axe and cattle prod how would you think they change the build.

Strange... I just tried it and its working fine... ? _ ?

I still wish they would buff the ripper guns more. They still feel weak comoared to what they should be. I never see ogryn using them in damnation. I only see thumper, the nade lobber and heavy stubber builds. Lore wise they are more powerful than a bolter, even giving space marines issues control wise due to the heavy recoil overpowering them (ogryn are stonger than your average space marine). Yet here they are pretty much the same (stagger, mag dumping, damage, overall effectiveness) minus the bolter being able to do better against flak & carapace, and precision pick range opponents in one shot kills, where rhe ripper gun must dump a few shots. Ultimately I wish the ripper gun got like 20% more controllability, 15% tighter spread, some extra pellets in each shot, like 25% more damage overall (if all oellets hit target), and a extra bonus against unarmored and flak damage. And up magazine to 25 rounds.

A shame it feels like the rippers are the only choice for gun ogryn

Ngl, i dont see the point of lucky bullet. Its both rare to trigger and not very strong. One whole additional ammo is nothing, not at 8% chance. It should be buffed, and massively so, to at least 30%. Ability cooldown reduction it gives is negligible and crit on lucky bullet is nothing. You might as well not take keystone at all and pick more passives. Or free few more points and get feel no pain. I get what its not thematic, but the whole point of the talent tree is to mix and match, so why not?

Yeah it's not good on small mag guns, at least in the short term. I'm the long run that amounts to probably 30+ free shots over the course of a mission when it comes to the ripper guns. I think it's centered around the 100+ round cannons. If they changed it to somehow scale the chance based on magazine size, that would be huge.

It certainly could be better than it is now, but given the other options available, what essentially amounts to an extra 8% crit does come up and helps with Monster DPS. Having tested having none of the nodes vs the 3 I've selected on some 40 monsters or so, sometimes the extra crit getting off to refresh the bleed from Flechette helps - especially if you're dealing with monsters from further than 15m (bleed damage as no falloff after all). But all the comments saying that BLO isn't great have merit in them. 3 points for 8% crit and a near non-existent ammo return? Surely there are other places those points can be better spent. That being said, I also have other builds in the works, so as much as I can, I want to differentiate them as much as possible with loadouts that can ( or at least try to) make the most of the talents selected!

@@rykenxivI might be mistaken but it cannot be 8% additional crit chance, it’s two separate calculations being done, a say 15% chance then an 8%, so of those 15% of shots that are crits they could be lucky bullets (crits) but they can’t crit crit. So wouldn’t the probability be closer to 15% + 8% of the remaining 85% that were not crits to begin with? 1*0.85*0.08=0.068 or 6.8% chance to crit (through lucky bullet assuming the initial crit chance is 15%) with no crit chance lucky bullet does give the full 8%. Tldr: as crit chance increase, the probability of luckybullet triggering on a crit increases therefore reducing the effective crit chance provided by lucky bullet procs. I believe lucky bullet will likely (terrible pun Jim sorry) get buffed to either be a higher % or just be an on crit effect altogether that also provides an increase crit chance (or maybe the other skill related to it gives more crit chance?) Edit: besides that I love the build, it’s not your fault of ours that specific interaction is so janky and that fat shark implemented it that way (hopefully it gets a buff/change in the future because it has the potential to be a good keystone if it wasn’t kneecapped)

Ugh now I get to see a new player try this with level 20 gear in damnation and wonder why he gets pasted by the DH and only did half damage because he lacks the perks and gear score.

i know a lot of people must like it, but i really dislike the whole gunner ogryn playstyle. for all the damage you can (potentially)deal to bosses, you’re left with your pants down more often than not, and then you’re just hoping your team can cover your ass while you reload or try to beat the ass-monkey dudes off you with a million light attacks. i tried to like the ripper guns but they’re just too unwieldy and take way too long to reload in a pinch, even with all the reload perks you can get. i’d rather just bring the brunt’s basher, rope-a-dope the bosses, shoot the rumbler at the floor to clear adds from my immediate area, and then resume the regularly scheduled bashing lol plus, throwing rocks at mutants will never get old 😂
