@KingKaramel I run the heaviest dmg variant with blaze away and can opener on this build. It still performs the stagger role, but also lets you apply full brittleness in 1 bayonet stab and can fire braced for a long time with good effect to lock down a group of gunners or w/e.
Fire.Ant  [author] 15 Jul @ 4:01am 
@KingKaramel it wasn't specified mostly because the way it is used in the built is not as a damage dealer or even specialist removal, but as on demand ranged stagger stick - and any Ripper can do that; Idea is simple; You see a nasty special/specials / mob of elites you don't have time to handle /rigth now/, just swap to Ripper, pack a shot or two into them, and they should be nicely staggered to buy you some time to reorient.

I would recommend Mk5 as the most 'versatile' and universal of the bunch with good magdump into mobs up close and solid special hunting. Flak/Maniac, Blaze Away/Inspiring Barrage.

On J_Sat's Meleegryn, assuming it's still up to date, does the MK of the Ripper matter in that build? Or any blessings and perks in particular on the sidearm? I can look further up in the guide to see what each ripper is good at, generally, but this build just says... Well. Ripper. And doesn't elaborate.
Which... it's a havoc 40 build from a good player, I know it works, at least. Just not exactly sure which one is supposed to be paired in here.

Been a Basher-Kickback ogryn through my journey in havoc so far and I'm trying to branch out for some variety, This part to me just seems a bit sparse to parse, is all.

Also maybe the Arbitrator stagger aura is involved.

With this new update there's all this talk that they made the game easier, but has anyone noticed that the Ripper (Mk 5 specifically) is performing better? I'm hitting breakpoints I wasn't prior, on the same builds/gear. Did they stealth buff it, did HP values change, did Fatshark accidentally buff all pellet weapons with something in the code? Just wondering what others have found or noticed.

@PJ - Yes you can push more to stack more.
@Rat - Unfortunately not. Even maintaining this guide is titanic amount of work and we are not mains of other classes; guides in those classes written by us would be pointless. Others can cover that spot who are more experienced ;)
@Angel - Curios are kinda what you feel works best for you from recommended perks. You can't go wrong with stacking toughness, hp, Stam regen, CDR or some dmg resist if you need it. I myself sport 3x Toughness, Toughness, Stam Regen and Hp curios on all builds. Never change them :D
@Skald - downloadable PDF text should be translatable. Its pure text there to extract.
Skald 19 Jun @ 11:59pm 
Please give us a text version that can be translated by a website translator, I beg you
Angel 16 Jun @ 11:18pm 
Agreed with sundowner, also is there a general recommended curio set up/recommendation for some of the builds or is it just "what you feel?"
Sundowner 14 Jun @ 6:22am 
This guide is amazing. I love it. I wish there was one for each class.
Rat 12 Jun @ 11:44pm 
could you makes guides like this for all the classes?? i think that would be very cool :)
