its a worse twin linked. the reload is just as atrocious and you can’t bypass it with charmed reload. the cleave is nice but a high fire rate + big mag mostly fixes that. the damage is good but why use it when the kickback/ rumbler/ gauntlet exist? why play a long range ogryn when every other class has better options? its nice to have the option i guess but i’m never going to use it. currently i find it unusable without a substantial reload buff cuz you run out of ammo really fast since it has a low mag pool
…dude the achlys mk 2 1-2 taps pretty much every significant threat with aimed fire and this is with an underpowered one I got from Brunt while I’m levelling mastery.
It basically turns ogryn into a horrifyingly effective special eliminator and sniper.
I haven’t played with it yet, but this is music to my ears! On every other class, I am equipped to delete far-off ranged threats. But on Ogryn my options have been to stun them or close range. Very much looking forward to having this in my big man’s kit.
Take the stubbers and give them a miserable ammo pool and rof. Give them massive recoil and damage per shot and a high accurate aimed secondary. At medium distance, they’re lacking because they don’t have the ammo (hipfiring full auto) or the rof (aiming single shots).
I emphasise they’re not bad, by any stretch. Massive penetration (per body, not armour) means you can magdump into a crusher-crew at point blank and rip them apart with sheer damage, or single shot into a horde and make three or four explode per shot. Plus, finally get to snipe snipers without rocks, the grenade launcher or hoping sheer volume of fire gets them.
The new achlys(hardest hitting) single barrel actually does a lot of monster dps, if you hit all headshots in hipfire. So that’s mostly on plague ogryn with the massive head. (6k+ with overwhelming fire lv4 and 20% unyielding)
The armor penetration isn’t too bad on carapace(again, achlys; the default one was wimpy) before ult either.
It’s really let down by low rate of fire because one mag from twin barrel achlys can kill similar number of crushers during ult(with +rending).
Seems like a common thing with both types of heavy stubber: one variant is just straight up better than the other two.
