(Kickback) That thing just deletes a good chunk of a horde when lined up.

generalist weapons - kickback, grenade gauntlet, rumbler. these are effective with any fighter build. rumbler and grenade gauntlet benefit from big boom, but it isnt required. kickback is the best because of the reliable stopping power, high ammo, and overall ease of use.

specialist weapons - ripper, stubber. ripper with can opener supports bad anti-armor weapons (power club, bull butcher cleaver, mk VI cleaver). it can be used with or without barrage active skill, but is better with it. stubber is great with barrage active skill, underwhelming without.

grenade gauntlet is the most fun simply because of the versatility. light melee, heavy melee, including combos and "secret" attack (light + heavy or special attack + heavy produces a "secret" heavy 2 sweep attack). special punch is funny to use, especially with taunt active to create density in front of you. pinpoint is very effective for achieving breakpoints not otherwise reachable without min-maxed rolls. toughness on elite kill works on both melee and ranged kills.

grenade gauntlet is also perhaps the best special killer in the game. easy breakpoints against dogs, pox bursters, snipers, trappers. and guaranteed knockdowns against flamers. it makes short work of the most annoying enemies, which increases fun factor.

remember in all cases that the melee strikes from your gun's alternate attacks count as heavy melee (except for grenade gauntlet light attacks), and so they can replenish toughness, spread bleed, stack heavy hitter keystone, etc.

The Rumbler is my favorite overall. It's one of the most unique guns in the game. Gives you a solid slug you can sort of snipe with but also comes with an explosive component that is very versatile for a lot of purposes. It's good vs hordes, it has great stagger power that can even knock over Crushers and Maulers and it even deals solid dps overall.

You don't really need to put any talents in augmenting this weapon either to make it effective although you could. It's very general purpose useful as an Ogryn secondary weapon, just don't overuse it because it doesn't have a lot of ammo.

I run this weapon primarily in my heavy hitting build with a MK1 Bully Club.

For my gunner ogryn I'm a big fan of the gorgonum stubber. Slow fire rate but hits hard and has better range than the other two.

For melee ogryn I like the slab shield

i don't think i consider any ogryn ranged weapons 'fun'

they are effective, but they are also pretty boring to use across the board

though grenade gauntlet was a lot of fun during the brief period in between the class-rework and the anniversary updates when it actually worked as an effective melee weapon and headshots would blast the face off everything

Are the cartridges for those guns.

The heavy stubber is fun. Lots of fun.
Just opening up with it and shredding a hoard is so much fun....

...but the kickback is far far more time and ammo efficient. And the rumbler or grenade gauntlet are better for those times you need to hit something a long way away.

Absolutely cannot find a redeeming quality for the ripper though.

Stubber and kickback are the best guns for being guns. The ripper's brittleness is great, but it feels awkward at times. That lack of amazing feel is where I have problems with it. I wish the time to open up to the braced position was faster.

The other guns rumbler, gauntlet, are really decent, but gauntlet I feel is not in a good spot for "feel" for me. My sense on it is that some heavy attack speed increases would really go a long way, as it has a very short range in melee.

The fast fire rate stubber.

The Kickback is a solid all arounder. High damage, good enough on reload speed, and a vet with Survivalist will mean you are constantly being fed free ammo. With some good stat rolls, the minimum pellet hit count of 12 (IIRC) means you can still fairly easily deal damage and kill things at a distance. Get one with full bore and surgical and you can do some serious damage up close and the base weapon alone can melt hordes (if you can spare a point into pacemaker, you can still delete hordes before they can really do anything in no time at all, but not a required talent by any means). My personal favourite.

Ripper guns can also fill a similar roll and with the right blessing (can opener), you can easily take down armored units like crushers and maulers with ease. Most people usually go with either the Mk II or V. The II offers higher base damage at the cost of the slowest RoF while the Mk V sacrifices some damage for a faster RoF and tighter spread (that can deal some good ranged damage once you learn to control it, especially the unbraced 3 round burst). Both braced can also chew apart hordes. Can't speak much to the Mk VI as I could just never get into it being only burst fire modes.

Grenadier Gauntlet and Rumbler are your long range explosive weapons. The Gauntlet is great nice and accurate, explodes on impact, and is good against armor plus it can be used as a melee if needed. 4 shots before needing to reload it is also nice, but if your not careful, you can easily blow through ammo, typically best saved for elites and specials or if you need to knock down a group of shooters. Rumbler is just a kickback firing big nades that impact with some good stagger and bounce off their target and explode a second or so after impact (each shot varies). Good for clearing groups of shooters, especially since you can bounce the shot off corners/walls to blast enemies behind cover.

Heavy Stubbers are you big MG's. The Mk IV hits the hardest but shoots the slowest, has the lowest ammo pool, and picks up the least ammo. The Mk VII shoots the fastest and picks up the most ammo, but it does the least damage (it does reload fast though). The Mk V sits in the middle of the IV and VII. The Stubbers are fun, but honestly, I haven't used them in a fair while as I don't find the ammo efficiency is that great compared to the ammo you spend. Not saying they are bad, but their just not for me personally and I'd still suggest trying them.

Personally, I find all of them fun (minus some specific marks) and you just need to find how to build around your talents, choice of melee, and what just works best for you.

Heavy Stubber MK7, Rumbler and Kickback. If you're going Gunlugger, I'd go Stubber. It's fun to spray bullets!

[capybaras are cool]

kickback does it all. used to hate the thing and now i cant use anything else.
