I love the Ogryn. I love the voice lines. I love the inclusion. I love how accurate they are to the lore (for the most part, I get ignoring their inherent claustrophobia). But I absolutely despise how they work as team-mates. They are too big. They block most lines of fire, in a game that’s heavily…

You know that Ogryn is probably pulling all the aggro from the front so you can shoot without dealing with too many enemies. As in dwarf cases, being short has one major flaw, you can’t see sh*t. Ogryn can see special enemies and deal with them without counting on the Elf… I mean Veteran.

You are right, I’m playing ogryn, Me and my veteran mate have to allways coordinate where I can stand to crowd control, so he can pick off the elites. When I saw the ogryn class trailer with the Maul and shield I wondered why they didn’t use an enforcer. Riot shield, schock maul and grenade thrower …

Couldnt you just, i dont know…move? Its not like the ogryns are some omnipresent object blocking all 360 degrees of vision. Even better, aim at an enemy the ogryn isnt already stomping into oblivion, theres bound to more.

Pretty much this. I’ve got an ogryn on my team and he’s never an issue. while him and I as zealot focus down melee or lock down elites, the vet/psyker can always focus down specials and everything that isn’t handled by us. Once that’s done they either join us in meleeing or we move forward as a grou…

I think it’s to give more thematic space. Like the Psyker is out of the balance. It hold a space no one else can. But Enforcer, Ratling and plenty of other choices would end up too close to the other Archetypes Like an Enforcer career could work for either Zealot or Veteran

It all depends on how it’s approached. Ratlings could be more of a ‘support sniper’ than ‘dps gunner’ like the veteran is. Maybe with passives to boost regen or things like that, as iirc, in the Lore, typical guard regiments both love and hate having ratlings attached, cause they’re great shots wi…

But again, all that can be covered by the Veteran, there is nothing exceptional that a regular human couldn’t do. While for the Ogryn what he use could only use able by him. That’s why I don’t think the Ratling or the Squat would have been a good alternative for the Ogryn. And why I think that tho…

Ogryn are fine. You’re quite literally playing the easiest class in the game which also happens to be the strongest. Putting just a little brain power put into positioning will fix this whole issue for you. Ogryn is a wall, you can’t shoot through walls, you shoot around them.

I’ve made a post that I’m gathering up all posts related to the Ogryn until Fatshark gives us individual class topic pages please give it a view and like so Fatshark can see our feedback all in one place. I’ve linked this post to there. Cheers. https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/the-ogryn-chat/58…

You don’t feel safe as a veteran behind those big burly manly arms? I know I do.
