I'm still on with my Ogryn, currently at level 21. It definitely feels like the least played class from my time so far, usually I'm the only one on the team. I did get a game with all 4 of us as Ogryns at one point though, ranged enemies were a pain but the dialogue was pretty hilarious ![Big Grin :D :D](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/biggrin.gif)
The Ogryn seems to come into it's own when you unlock the shield and a few other ranged options between level 12-17. With the shield your melee loses a bit of oomph but you're no longer a sitting duck for ranged enemies and can start to become the tank you expect it to be. I've had a few occasions of just blocking a doorway or corridor on my own whilst the others focus on the objectives.
I've not messed about with all of the ripper gun variations yet, though they sound like they do have their uses. The grenade gauntlet felt nice for stunning/stumbling things at close range or quickly targeting an elite that might pop up. The grenade launcher is a nice crowd controller, especially when in tight quarters, it feels satisfying to head shot something with a grenade then watch the explosion take the trash out a second or two later. I'm loving the heavy stubber machine gun at the moment, that and the shield make a nice combo of being able to mix it up both offensively and defensively at short and medium ranges.
Sometimes you just need to let off some steam with a sustained 120 round barrage![Big Grin :D :D](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/biggrin.gif)
