Warhammer 40K Darktide – Ogryn Skullbreaker Spotlight
They’re big, bulky, and bullish enough to carry the heaviest weapons into battle. Check out the Warhammer 40K Darktide Ogryn Skullbreaker.
Grab your biggest weapons for the biggest boy. The Ogryn Skullbreaker archetyp and specialization for Darktide is all about being big and unstoppable.
Sure, you might technically be considered an abhuman. But that just means you’re absolutely devastating in combat. Ogryns are shock troops, bodyguards, and more. And in Warhammer 40K Darktide, the Ogryn is particularly apt if you want to soak damage or deal it.
Ogryn Skullbreaker
Just like the Veteran Sharpshooter and Zealot Preacher, the Ogryn Skullbreaker is made up of two parts. The Ogryn is your archetype, which determines base abilities. And the Skullbreaker is the class, which helps determine your playstyle.
The Skullbreaker, in particular, leans into the Ogryn’s prodigious strength. Using heavy charges and shattering blows, they wade into the fray.
Skullbreakers in particular excel in melee combat against touch and armored foes. They do lots of damage and can attract enemy attention like nobody’s business. They also have a unique array of Ogryn-only equipment. Like the Ogryn Pipe Club, Ogryn Thumper, and a whole box of grenades.
When using the class’ signature ability, Bull Rush, an Ogryn Skullbreaker will charge forward, knocking enemies back from their onrushing path. After using Bull Rush, an Ogryn has increased movement and attack speed.
This combos extremely well with the class’ passive abilities, which allow Skullbreakers to deal increased melee heavy attack damage, as well as gain increased toughness from melee kills. Faster, more damaging attacks, means you can stay alive.
And the more you kill the tougher you get. Pick this class and archetype combo if you want to be a big mean tank that will break the tides of enemies like a fortified wall. Just make sure you stay near your comrades so they can keep you from getting overwhelmed.
Darktide is coming soon!
