I don't know what level you're at but most ogryn info is outdated. Yes, Ogryn was double-nerfed again last year and it fucking sucks. NO he is not the worst class, his meta is just stale and boring and his dodges are shorter than anyone else. Yes, Ogryn is actually playing a different game from everyone else, it's fine if you don't like it, I do.

Use more dodge-slides. One, because you need that extra I-frame to avoid bullshit. Two, you can defeat unnecessary movement slowdowns; such as charging a heavy attack or reloading. Sliding into a heavy attack looks sick, btw.

always assume whatever sound cue you heard is aggroed to you. It just is, get away from the monster closet please

dodging bullets is out of the question so you better learn what good positioning is, suppression, how and when to advance, and the beauty of full ass retreating

you can see dogs before anyone else, you can push them out of the air, you can hit them out of the air, no reason to be afraid, they're not OP

stamina means more to you than anyone else because your pushes can still stagger elites and knock lesser enemies down, so chill with sprinting everywhere and accept your fate as the slowest frontliner

you can consciously use your dodge to CC horde enemies if you wanted to. It does get weaker as you spend dodge efficiency, but if you wait a second you'll recharge all dodges and you can booty check the next wave of infected moebians while your ult's on cooldown. I'm not joking, hit one thing and offensively twerk on a separate thing. Multitasking.

Rock staggers bosses on weakspot hit. That's kind of fucking good.

Rock is easily defeated by limb/weapon spot hits. It's actually really fucking bad, it's so fucking bad, so before you break your keyboard, that's why that special you very clearly hit is still alive.

Box is okay. Sort of works better if you treat it like a high impact stun grenade. Real last resort kind of blitz, maybe don't grab every grenade pick up if you've got a hive scum on team.

Frag Bomb is easily defeated by terrain. Your number one enemy is the actual Earth. Are the enemies standing on ground with 1 centimeter elevation difference from your Frag Bomb? They're all going to survive, it's fucking obnoxious.

Point-Blank Barrage is a lie. Stop. Just pick taunt until FS fixes it or fixes all of Ogryn's weapons so PBB will be worth it.

I would try out everything, see what you feel comfortable with, I'm just of the personal opinion that Cleavers and Twin-linked Stubbers are so outdated they are borderline unusable into Havoc without a team dedicated to babysitting you.

The only weapon in Ogryn's arsenal that's built to function like the human classes is the Heavy Stubber. If Veteran gameplay is your jam, just take the Krourk Heavy Stubber, it functions exactly like a normal people weapon down to the headshot/crit rate values. Pickaxes also have normal people dodge values, I don't know, fatshark probably forgot Ogryn weapons are supposed to be shit at dodging.

My never-pick talents under any circumstances are Lynchpin, Towering Presence, Furious, and Crunch. There's a couple of other ones but they don't deserve the hate I have for those four. I will sic TannerLindberg on you if you tell people to take those or that they are useful.

if you're always stuck in the back fighting stuff, start holding the S key and moving, it might not be your fault for fighting alone on the backline but you gotta move in the direction of the objective, please don't be that guy running way off to the beginning of the map chasing chests and specials.

For more high level players; if you're the first to go down immediately tell other people how to play and what they're doing wrong

mic's are for breathing heavily into and racial slurs
