"Special Delivery" Ogryn Is S+ TIER After The Patch - Darktide Build Guide

Special Delivery Ogryn Build

The video presents the “Special Delivery” Ogryn build for Darktide, centered on charging into groups and detonating an empowered Power Maul hit. It opens with a comedic skit, followed by a build guide and gameplay showcase.

Core Strategy

The Power Maul retains its empowered charge until the Ogryn is staggered. Empower it, charge into a group, then land a hit—ideally on an armored enemy—to trigger a powerful explosion.

The creator says the patch appears to have extended the charge-hold window by about a second. The Ogryn’s charge also received a shorter cooldown and more flexible buffs, making it easier to dive into enemy backlines.

Trample rewards charging through enemies: each enemy hit adds base damage, up to 50% for 10 seconds. This boosts the direct hit, explosion, and bleed damage. For maximum impact, charge through a dense group before delivering the empowered hit.

The charge can also interrupt or disable dangerous enemies, including Chaos Spawns and Daemonhosts, giving teammates time to attack.

Weapons and Equipment

• Power Maul: The build’s central weapon. Recommended perks are Carapace and Flak. Power Surge increases the explosion radius and strengthens the explosion wave when it hits an armored target. Skullcrusher adds damage against staggered enemies and benefits the team.
• Rumbler: A high-impact ranged option for dangerous enemy packs, specials, and emergencies. Firing one at your feet can knock enemies back and create room to charge, attack, or escape. The suggested setup includes Unyielding, Flak, Shattering Impact, and Adhesive Charge; the latter can stick to Reapers and Bulwarks.
• Curios: Use cooldown reduction, revive speed, and gunner damage resistance. Gunner resistance is especially useful because the build relies on attacking or charging through enemies to restore toughness.

Talents and Gameplay

The build takes Indomitable for a long charge and a brief boost to attack and movement speed. Stomping Boots helps restore toughness at the end of the charge, while Pulverize adds bleeds and Trample increases damage.

Heavy-attack and stagger talents help control hordes and set up empowered hits. Great Cleaver is highlighted for increasing cleave, allowing the Maul to hit multiple enemies and, in many cases, strike enemies protected by a Captain’s shield. Two overlapping Captains can still block this.

Rock is the creator’s preferred blitz, though Rock and Frag Bomb are both presented as reasonable choices.

Ogryns are strong rescuers: incoming damage or a broken stamina bar won’t stop a revive unless the Ogryn is physically displaced. Charge to a downed teammate, stop beside them, and revive. A Rumbler blast or empowered Maul hit can help clear space first.
