The BEST Ogryn Shovel Is??? ONE SHOTS EVERYTHING! Best Ogryn Melee Weapon? | Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

One numerical error to correct: Thrust stacks 20% 3 times for a max of 60%. Conclusions remain the same & I still recommend it as a must pick for all 3 variants.

40,000 years into the future with all these cool futuristic weapons and tech. Main weapon of choice: Folding Shovel

Finally a shovel tier list that I needed. I'm not too sure how much the Ogyrn variants differ from the new Veteran shovels so a video on those would be nice.

Ogryn with a perfect rolled MkV: *gotta sweep sweep sweep*

I absolutely love how concise yet comprehensive information you give. The presentation is top notch!

You basically hit the nail on the head with this one, though I like them all equally so I would put them all at #1 but that's just me

I'm getting shafted with the Catachan sword rolls for my Zelot, every blessing I get has been to do with extra impact thanks for another deep dive into the weapons

This is the exact type of youtube content I look for. Good analysis, showing your reasoning, honest recommendation, no fluff. Really enjoy your stuff, look forward to whenever you're able to continue, if it indeed becomes a series! I appreciate your work.

This mans knows his way around a shovel. Great breakdown!

Another amazing video, i really appreciate the depth you dive into in these. Especially being a big boy main. Do you think you would be able to do a guide on the bell easter egg karnak boss fight, aka the extra hard mode im having alot of trouble beating it.

- Neat, I have yet to use the shovel I was either using that big club cause the way enemies flop around from it is awesomely satisfying or was running slab shield for tanking.

Again, very useful and informative. SHows that FS made them with the right mindset.. all are good, depends on what you want/need.

For me, sorting all these chain weaspons would be most helpful, even a comparison between the types (Sword vs Axe vs Evisorator) and when I want to pick on over another. Also yes please on Shotguns!

These guides are great but you didn't ask the most important question when it comes to shovels... which one digs better? Such a critical gameplay feature you know! (Love your guides! Really been super helpful when putting builds together! Can't wait for the shotgun one.)

Great video thank you!

Hey man, I hope you keep doing these and other content :)

OOOOOOOH Mate finaly someone who made Video about shovels in DT i apreciate that very much thank you !!! ( worth of sub :) )

Great summary, cheers!

Just getting back into darktide. Nice vid ❤

A bit of info for ya as someone who has used them a lot, in 90% of situations, full bore + no respite are the blessings ya want on a shotgun. In addtion to this, it should be known that the dragons breath shell on the Kantreal shotgun is devastating vs unyielding, which includes bosses, if multiple dragonsbreath shells are fired one after another to apply as many burn stacks as possible. In addtion to this, the dragons breath shell will perice a bullwarks sheild and apply burn stacks, the bullwark dropping dead after a short time if 3 shells worth of stacks are applied and said shotgun has a unyeilding perk, 2 shells if you are playing zealot and have the purge the unclean talent node in addtion to the damage perk on the weapon itself.

I like the MKV shovel, as its heavy attacks can be chained for horde clear, in proper ogryn behavior. and that allows all of ogryns heavy attack skills to apply constantly. The special attack is used for elite and specials deleting, and with thrust i can oneshot crushers. Its a proper all-rounder but doesn't overshadow purpose built weapons

a mk5 shovel with T4 thrust, T4 BM, T4 Carapace and T4 Elite damage will 1 tap crushers and maulers without crunch. Good luck on the hadron lottery #breakthelocks

Mans a kreiger at heart destroying the enemies of the imperium one swing at a time.

After playing with these shovels, definitely agree they all need thrust and carapace armor blessing. Flak is a good 2nd perk, but I will also contend that unyielding is a good choice as well. Not just for monstrosity (which is very helpful) but also the other enemy ogryn's. They are technically 1 shots with the alternative pick axe attack but (and depending on your other build and stats) usually only after nearly the maximum charge time. Unyielding damage will just take some of that guess work out of the equation when you're getting overwhelmed and make 1 shots a lot more consistent on enemy ogryns which is great.

Veteran Shovels, Autoguns, Headhunters, Recon Lasguns and Combat Axe.

This is some solid content!

Funnily enough, I started building my own Mk XIX as of today. I'll keep these details in mind.

It would be nice to see a video on the Psyker force weapons, they all seem very useful in their own way but I'm not sure they're directly comparable?

I still use the standard shovel for both Ogryn and Veteran, good all around anf have the special stun attack

I love when some Crushers spawns and my team is "oh no, Crushers!" but i smile and equip my shovel ready to open cans. I equiped mine with Confident Strike to pump toughness killing small enemies, and Thrust to delete heavy hitters with secondary mode. Also it have 25% damage against carapace, but i prefer 10% damage against elites than 25% to flak armoured.

new vs old heavy eviscerator pls! love the content!

Has the stun lock of the MK3 shovel for monstrosties been fixed now? I made one for that reason and then I saw it got fixed.

Isnt the Bully Club IIIb better than the shovel?

I feel like Brutal Momentum is even more necessary for the Mk XIX compared to the other two, and it's because you have no heavy attacks for CC: Brutal Momentum letting you cleave clean through heads and dealing more damage make it way more reliable. You do lose toughness regen, but admittedly I think the Mk XIX already pairs super well with the Kickback, and ogryn gun special attacks all register as heavies. So if I need some toughness, I start bashing trash mobs with the kickback, which regens toughness, and builds stacks of Heavy Hitter, which the Mk XIX struggles to build naturally. Obviously a melee Kickback doesn't really do a lot of damage, but it knocks things around, keeps you alive, and then builds all your stacks for the Mk XIX, meaning you kinda get the best of both worlds: Mk XIX's excellent duelling ability and faster swing speed than the other shovels, and still decent enough CC. Plus Brutal Momentum still works on the folded shovel attack as well, and I'm surprised at how much use I get out of that. At least once a map, I tend to kill at least 2 ragers in one swing, and when you get patrols of Maulers or Crushers, you can genuinely pretty reliably kill 4 in one swing if you don't let them flank you.

How do you have more Plasteel than Diamantie? I have 56k more Diamantine, and I can't seem to use it.

You can't hide from us Wile, you know the varlets want their hellbore build 😤😤😂

Let's go ripper guns! At some point 😁

Brutal momentum does not work on light atacks ? why don't you schoose it on a MK 19 ?

Disagree on Thust on the Mark19, Brutal momentum should be the baseline on it shovels, but mark 19 should use Confident strike as it is the best for light attacks non bleed(heavis) builds, you are only using heavis attacks on it for Crushers and Maulers anyways (yes you will need 2/3 hits to kill Crushers and Maulers without Thrust yes but I think that's ok and maximizing light atack sinergy and leaving the Crusher oneshots for the Mark 5 which is made for heavy attacks is the way to go). Basically I like the mark19 Shovel as al alternative to Cleaver 3 light attack spamer, which works great on Point Blank style builds or just non heavy attacks builds. Good breakdown.

You made it to 8!

You should have mentioned that the folded shovels have this horrendous hangtime after being used. Another is that the Mk19 uniquely has higher damage on its first 2 light chains (by about 20%)

Autoguns next pls ??

Mark 19 shovel actually works pretty well on crushers in terms that if you EVER were to put it in a gun lugger build, the single-target damage of the shovel would put in some damn good work against the two most opposing enemies in the form of crushers and mutants. Oh? You thought I would say maulers? Try the Achylis stubber with flak damage increase and check out the heavyweapons build. thank me later.

Well while the shovels are good, i havent been lucky enough to get a good good ond for Ogryn, but i have gotten a god tier bully club (first variant), it got thrust 4( so 20% more power on heavy attacks) and the brittleness add on, Then i gave it the 25% damage buff against carapace armor. So with the heavy melee build, it kills crushers in 2 hits if i get Max charge heavies and it is headshots

I just wish the vet shovels didnt outdo the thunderhammer with crushers

your at 9k now shit be doing numbers

“Im gonna dig a hole”

Just wait when Ogryns gets 2 handed maces

How is your game so fluid and smooth?? I’m running a 3060Ti with 16Gb ram on 2560x1440 and it’s STRUGGLING with Darktide.

Its so cursed that the shovels deal more dmg than the thunder hammer man

*Shuvvels* xD

Only thing i really dislike about the Mrk3 shovel is the Horde combo. Light attacks just feel so bad on Ogryn because they get 0 buffs from any of the Ogryn talents and generate no temp health unless you are running something like confident strike

I just wish they wouldn't jump MK so randomly, what's wrong with MK I/II/III

For the algorithm

So, I think you mention in your video that, with the MK V, you need 25% carapace, Crunch talent and Thrust IV to one shot crushers, but I have a 79% damage and first attack (with only 64% penetration) shovel and I can't seem to one shot crushers. I can one shot everything else, just not crushers. I do not have brutal momentum. However, if I follow a build similar to yours (a build I've been using with a power maul) with talents like bonebreaker's aura, I can. Am I missing something? Is it possible that it's actually 25% carapace, crunch, thrust IV and, either brutal momentum IV or bonebreaker's aura (a minimum of 10% additional headshot/heavy damage from some other source)? I noticed both your builds incorporate bonebreaker's aura, either way. edit: I just checked this with a Mk XIX (77% dmg, 80% first target, 76% penetration) with 25% carapace, crunch, thrust IV and it doesn't one shot crushers. For that matter, it does not one shot a reaper, either. With the build that includes bonebreaker's aura and goes down the left tree, both (Mk V, XIX) will one shot crushers. A build that doesn't have bonecrusher and goes down the middle path has not yielded one shots for me. edit2: Ok, some more checking. With my Mk V and XIX, I can not one shot crushers with even 25% carapace, crunch, thrust IV, bonecrusher. It looks like I need heavy hitter as well (which means investing into the far left branch). Bonecrusher + heavy hitter would be a base of 15% more damage on a heavy hit which is the equivalent of brutal momentum weakspot damage.

Nah the blue shovel is the clear loser to me. The having stride down regular heavies is pointless when you have the folded heavy attack, so might as well take the sweeping heavies.

Hey man, nice video, but you have a few corrections: - Thrust does not add 20% Power in 3x 6.6% Stacks. It adds 60% power in 3x 20% stacks. It is THAT strong. That is why Crunch + Thrust doubles the dmg. - Bromentum on XIX is excellent as it allows the light combo, especially on Skullbreaker build, to greatly increase its hordeclear; Especially with vs. Infested added. You really don't need flak as your strikedowns demolish them. - Cstrike is fine of course, but since the Strikedowns are very single target oriented and are heavies (as well as special count as) your single target hit 25% toughness regen works well here. - In builds you pick UNSTOPPABLE upgrade to Heavy Hitter keystone; Currently this feat does absolutely nothing and is a waste of a point :)

but it doesn't 1 shot everything. what's with the hyperbole and false info?
