INTRODUCTION
This is an Allrounder Ogryn build focused on bleeding as many enemies as possible while still being able to take out elites and specials, as well as maintaining survivability in all situations. While not as defensive as using a shield, you will actually be able to kill enemies much more quickly, which is great solo cueing with unreliable or overly crowd-control-focused teammates. However, positioning and choice of engagement is important in higher difficulties.

could also go flak and/or unyielding but damage/stagger is already sufficient, shattering impact is takes care of armoured enemies, and main use of gauntlet is muties and crushers for me. Elite/specialist damage may not be bad either. Lastly +reload speed is a nice quality of life if you can't stand reload time, but the speed is not very impactful. I prefer just reloading between engagements.

Shattering Impact (most important)
+1-4 Rending (Armoured Enemies).

PLAYSTYLE
Press F to bull rush into large groups of squishys to proc Bull Gore feat and proc as many enemies as possible for damage reduction from Bloodthirst feat.
Use light attack to heavy attack combo to perform wide sweeps that will provide toughness regen from confident strike and heavy attacks.
Quick switch to gauntlet to take out elites and specials quickly and ranged, although you should try to conserve ammo on weaker shooters. Bull rushing or using a covered approach is preferred for weaker ranged enemies to conserve ammo.
Mutants can be dodged and taken out with gauntlet. Although grenades are also an option that is faster if you have good aim.
Dogs should be shot with gauntlet which will stagger them. If close enough, try to use melee after staggering to conserve ammo. Even better if you can hide behind a corner and wait for hound with melee to conserve ammo since dogs cannot turn corners as quickly as muties.
Best combo for Bulwarks is one shot with gauntlet to stagger and then quickly hit with grenade for insta-kill as soon as shield breaks.
Survivability
In Damnation you will want to stay out of gunfire completely when possible by employing cover (stay behind walls) and a combination of using gauntlet when necessary and bull rush to crowd control enemies. In lower tier difficulties (Malice T3 and below), you can carelessly dive into hordes and swing away because of the damage reduction and toughness regen from bleed procs, confident strike, and heavy attacks. In heresy and damnation, you will still mow down hordes like nothing but need to be a bit more strategic with engagement and awareness of specials/elites. Don’t forget bull rush is also a great way to get yourself out of tricky situations and not just engage/cause bleed to proc.
