Boltgun and saw for Ogryn

Will there ever be a big bolter? The game has a medium bolter, recently a small bolter added, can we expect a big bolter for big boys?
Also all classes have saws, even Psyker have it. Can Ogryn have saw? for example it can be brass knuckles saw.

or at least just bare hands, so these are weapons that must be wear, lets it be the gloves that provide opportunities like to fight with his bare hands, so that his weapons will be are objects from the environment or the enemy, so that he could grab weak enemy and fight with them like a weapon, while also being able to throw them. And it would be nice to also be able to throw allies, for example for saving them. Two Ogryns will be able to play with allies, throwing them to each other so that the mutant or hound does not grab the ally

Nope to be blunt. In the 40k lore & table top game the shields, clubs, grenade gauntlets & ripper guns are all you get, all indeed Ogryns are mentally capable of using.

As it is the twin stubber is made up for the pc game & not an actual thing in 40k, wish it was though.

So assuming Fatshark are staying true to the source material you wont see more ogryn weaponry.

Screw established lore, I want Ogryns to have a bolter shotgun because that would be kickass.

There are definitely variants of the stubber that have twin canons. Even tapped together stubbers exist in the books. Darktide is certainly not the originator of the twin stubber

There are weapon types that the Ogryn won’t get, but those are for the most part the more esoteric ones that won’t appear here most likely anyway (Grav being an example)

Melee:
From Necromunda

  • 2h Axes (Mundane)
  • 2h Hammer (Mundane)
  • 1h Axe (Mundane)
  • Spudjacker
  • Unarmed (though unlikely cause model, may be replaced by Brass knuckles or Slab Fists)

From Rpg:

  • Flail (Mundane)
  • improvised weapon (Steel beam, Sign…)

From TT:

  • Power I-Beam
  • Brute Shield (Suppression shield)

From Lore:

  • Slab Fists (Gauntlets)

From GSC (As their weapons are Industrial tools stolen for the cause, we can deduce that the Abominant use Ogryn tools):

  • 2h Power Hammer
  • 2h Power Pick
  • 2h Power Maul

Ranged:

From Rpg:

  • Autocannon
  • Multilaser (Could stretch to Lascannon and Lascutter too)
  • Heavy Bolter

There after it depend mostly on FS to work with GW to invent new things.
But some of the options I’ve seen thrown for Ogryn don’t really mesh well with the lore.

  • Heavy Flamer: Ogryn aren’t really careful, so giving them a fragile weapon like that would be weird
  • Chain: Ogryn usually aren’t given those cause they are unable to properly make use of then

But Drills wouldn’t be an issue, so I could see them take a Grenadier Gauntlet as base and ad a Rock Saw or a Siege Drill to them

Ignore the last one, that was just a meme for the Discord.

In the end the only reason Ogryn doesn’t have more weapons is that they are on their own instead of being shared with other Archetypes.

Wtb Ogryn sniper option

I think they should make some crude muzzle loaded explosive launchers for them too. A mortar tube fired from the hip could be added like the ogryns could equip in dawn of war. Instead of trollhammer shenanigans have him stop to lob basically a grenade. Special could use it like a mortar and fire it upward to return and AoE wider. In hallways it could be extreme CC.
