Ogryn pack master is way too easy and presents less threat than some of the elites, the carapace dogs die way too fast before you notice them do anything. It feels like this boss has zero unique mechanics and zero unique presence on the map.

Is this surprising at all with all the boss deleting tools at out arsenal ? Feels like he should’ve just been an elite as unpopular as that sounds.

I mean, even if you compare Pack Master to other bosses, he feels like nothing. I know that some people think Plague Ogryn is also on the weak side, but fighting him is way more fun in my opinion.

Fought him twice and didn’t get to see a single attack he does yet. Cool meta, glad every single character gets extremely strong boss killing tools to just remove new content from the game

Well, I don’t think people spammed RPG or Kraks at him in my games. He still died way too fast from just normal melee attacks and us shooting at him.
It seems he has the smallest HP pool out of all the bosses.
Carapace hounds also die so fast I can’t seem to notice them. I try to look at dogs which spawn around him (I wanted to see how they look like), and I’m not sure I’ve even seen carapace variant.
Either they’re bugged and he only spawns normal dogs, or they die as fast as the normal dogs.

I got hit by his lightning thing and I think it slowed me down a bit, not that it mattered though since I was playing ogryn and was just wailing at him.

One scab dog took 4 point blank shots from arbitrator shotgun, the good one, short ranged one, in melee they do take more strikes than regular ones, but that depends on the weapon.

Hm. Perhaps in the games that I encountered them everyone was targetting dogs at the same time, so it didn’t feel like they are any different from normal ones.
I haven’t played into him a lot since he was made a monstrosity but in the iterations of him that I did play a lot of i remember his H40 threat was not insubstantial.
I’ll be excited to see how he feels after a few days. I kinda want him to swing faster or more irregularly. Like be surprising and more aggressive. He feels kinda slow.

Sorta wish he was an ogryn rager elite certainly more than one of him would make it challenging but i know i am in the minority here hehe
I thought he’s not in other gamemodes yet, only in Expeditions?
According to fatshark they will port him over to the main mode after awhile
Would be cool if he had a hook or something to pull players to him, would make him more unique compared to other bosses.
Or maybe make him pick up his dogs and throw them at players like projectiles, basically a faster pounce.

I am a playtester. I’ve seen a few iterations of GUY in any case. You said the hounds died to fast and ultimately better they be relatively accessible to kill than be really annoying gigaarmored hounds I think. Can always tweak them to be more threatening later.
Agreed.
It’s just that I expected something more from an enemy they call “new”. It’s really hard to even call them a “variant”. A dog with more HP feels less like a new enemy than blue-stimmed Rager from Havoc.
I took space cop against him and even sicked McGruff on him just to see what would happen.
Packmaster died is what happened.
