Random Synergy I thought I'd Share

Not sure if it’s just the games I’ve happened to be in, but even with 2-4 Ogryn squads at a constant (still beautiful) the last few days, I haven’t seen any rippers around. Thus, after making a dedicated Ripper build today (and loving it), I thought I’d share a cool (please let it be intended/be a ‘feature’ don’t change this I beg) interaction between the ripper and Burst Limiter Override that I think is neat. In hopes of maybe seeing just a few more people running around with it XD.

If you proc your Lucky Bullet on the triple burst, because it’s just 1 trigger pull, it consumes no ammo. So you get 3 shots for free instead of one, and can guarantee that with Back Off! .

(and as you can see, if you get lucky/hit the 15%, you can just kill a crusher for free! : D . Also not sure if it worked this way before, but even if so now you can do it consistently! Verses just having to hope it happened. )

And something else while running it I just realized, the rock counts as a ranged kill, so you can use it to maintain Burst Limiter stacks you get for killing things with ranged. You have to be accurate to actually keep that up though but it’s a nice add on/a reason to use the rock!

Ogryn went from being the worst class to one of the best classes this past update.

With all the talents alone in my current build I’m estimating a total of +85% damage to melee, excluding the +25% melee speed talents and Loyal Protector +25% damage buff. Pretty wild.

I’ll have to give that a try with the Ripper though, thanks.

i have always preferred using the Cleaver VI, so I use a Ripper with Can Opener to deal with Crushers. back in the day, I didn’t use it for shooting but simply to apply Brittleness. this was probably the fastest way to take down a Crusher. by hitting twice, it could apply 16 Brittleness (8x2), and with the MKV, I could take down a Crusher with three headshots
