Best Ogryn ranged weapon?

[Tjoma]

We all know the MK3 Bull Butcher is the best melee weapon, but what is the best ranged weapon?

Personally, I like the Krourk stubber with Blaze Away & Charmed Reload + Crit & Flak. Luv me some dakka. Gorgonum stubber is pretty damn good too.

Rumbler, nuff said

Gorgonum stubber or MKII Ripper gun.

What are your thoughts on Krourk vs Gorgonum? Can't decide which one is better. Achlys is definitely trash though.

Gorgonum deals way more damage and overall the best out of stubbers by far.

Grenade box.

MK II Ripper is ridiculous. Once you have can opener it melts everything, and despite being a spread gun its also good for hosing down things at range. It's basically the perfect weapon. Unless you shoot it too much, then it's just out of ammo.

It deals more damage and is more accurate which makes it great, sure. But it has less ammo, lower magazine capacity and a lower rate of fire, doesn't suppress or stagger as well as the Krourk either. From my experience, when ♥♥♥♥ hits the fan the Krourk is better at dealing with the situation than the Gorgonum because more often than not, you'll have specials and shooters spawning alongside hordes, especially on high intensity. I find the Krourk is better overall because it lets you deal with both at the same time and creates breathing room for the team.

But yeah. The Gorgonum is great too. I love the fact that you don't even have to brace it.

cleaver MK3 is trash lol and serves no purpose in any good team. MK1 club is the way.
but for ranged its rumbler and its not even close.

Never had any issues you've mentioned. Gorgonum just works. Simple as that.

If u play with a party of swearlords, then yes, bb3 can be kind of useless. But if u play with randos, then bb3 is mandatory. For hintstg espesially

[Steinar]

S tier: Ripper Mk 2
A tier: Ripper Mk 5, Gorgonum Stubber, Achlys Stubber, Grenadier Gauntlet, Rumbler, Kickback
B tier: Ripper Mk 6, Krourk Stubber

Ripper Mk 2 with Can Opener handles just about everything and has crazy AoE damage.

[assarhadon]

Imagine placing mk5 and achlys un the same tier

[varicose 'vascular' vinny]

he puts a lot of effort into talking down the MK5, instead of just learning how to shoot enemies with it properly from far away. at which point none of the other ogryn weapons even offer anything. which is why at the start of any proper ogryn tier list ripper 5 would be 2 tiers above the rest.

Why would they not be?

Placing the Ripper Mk 5 in tier A is considered talking it down? No, the Ripper Mk 5 is great, but the Ripper Mk 2 does most of the same better. Dealing with enemies from range is something you learn? That's more like the skillset players start with. Getting in close, that's what takes learning.
