I’m itchin’ for some really weird builds.
I’ll start by throwing this in the pot:
Its for Ogryns who wish they were playing Weapons Specialist Vet instead.
A bad melee build right here. But press F, and feels like fast multishot rumbler booms.
Lucky bullet will help with low ammo. It is twice the power of cluster bomb grenade and much larger area as you swing your shots in cone pattern. You could pull off up to 4-5 before point barrage duration expires.
Save the F button for emergencies and be bad for melee. No melee stagger, no melee damage, struggle against armour for the ranged booms. Now you can feel like you’re throwing cluster grenade more frequently! (and let someone else deal with armour!)
First build:
Heres a build for weapons specialst vets who wish they were playing DOOM. Its the only build I run when I play vet, its just silly fun and performs surprisingly well in auric. The swap speed of the double barrel shot gun is high enough that you can basically duel wield your melee and shotgun to absolute vaporize mixed hordes and elites.

Second build:
Not sure how much of a meme build it is, but its certainly off meta. This is a debuff and crowd control focused build with a good amount of melee damage thrown on top. Extra brittleness thrown on top by pushing enemies in between every few swings to make your team absolutely shred armor
Damage and debuff Ogryn - Build for Darktide - Darktide WH40k
i don’t know what i meme build is, a bad one? but i have something like that doomslayer build and it’s quite fun. boom, whack someone with a chainsword, reloaded.
Relatively speaking. It’s an off-meta build focused around some kind of gimmick or unorthodox playstyle. Like, building out an Ogryn to have maximum movement speed while bracing a twin-stubber or something. Meme builds don’t need to be bad, just different.
I was actually immediately thinking of a similar build to this that I created as one of my first builds when the Ogryn changes went life. It’s actually one of my favorites, as it leans into the ‘spam’ and quite literally creates Frag Bomb after Frag Bomb to nuke entire waves once it gets ‘spun up’, and thanks to pickaxe being pickaxe you still 2 shot anything with heavy armor.
You just run around ‘mining up’ your Back Off! procs to get a free grenade that nukes the room, then whenever you get overwhelmed just activate Point Blank and nuke the room even harder. With a Lucky Bullet proc giving Ranged damage to everybody, you can just clear entire waves by spamming shots into it, and thanks to the compounding radius increase + damage, you will literally be 1 shotting maulers by the 3rd grenade, and nuking the field over and over until you decide to stop.
Pacemaker keeps the fun rolling even once the CA ends, and one always has the pickaxe to fall back on when you need to. One can even take the suppression damage bonus if they want, I just like the extra toughness gen more/feel it’s more needed. But either works great, and it’s one of the most fun ‘meme builds’ I’ve come across.
Only other one I’ll bring up is my ‘Big Punch’ build for the Grenadier Gauntlet, cause it’s fun too and more heavily fit’s ‘meme’ status, but still does some dang good work.
I got one. Only weird thing about it is how little brain power it takes.
Brain-dead guardsman holds down the trigger and you can’t die and your team can’t die and all of the enemies are suppressed and you point and shout a lot and you have a lot of bullets and you ignore all mechanics and just keep shooting and your melee weapon doesn’t matter and you can’t kill carapace but that’s ok because you can ignore them and your team does a lot of damage too and you win.
This has been my fave Ogy build since the rework. Its not streamlined or anything and if anyone has suggestions to make it better or things Iv messed up on and missed let me hear it. I may or may not listen, its not a Meta build after all 
Anyhoo, its a Paul and Heavy Stubber build that makes use of the quick weapon switch and stamina on brace along with the Pauls power smash for stagger to easily take out most things in the game, but it does lack vs bosses a bit.
Tested extensively on Heresy and it should work well enough to be fun on Damnation, although Iv played much less of that difficulty.
You just take smokes, go in game and write in chat that you are “support veteran”.
Here’s an interesting Meme Concept. It can be applied to all 4 Operators, any Blitz/weapons/curios you’d like. My brain says “This is the dumbest thing in the world” but my gut says “Try it”.
No joke. I’ve seen a player pretending to be Camo Vet in zealot class with autogun.
He would sit in the back and shoot useless random mobs, ignoring elites. Then any incoming danger, go stealth to let aggro go to team mates then he’ll carry on shooting random mobs again ignoring priority targets. Repeat.
Ah, the age old question of “Is this player bad or just memeing?”.
I’m going to assume the former. A Camo Vet cosplay memer would go for High Priority targets.
Perhaps experimenting as ultimate way to survive. Survival meme perhaps.
The world may never know.
