Ogryn in Warhammer 40K Darktide is a tank class, that specializes in crowd control, boss fights, and damage absorption, shielding the teammates from axes and bullets of enemies and keeping the focus away from them. If in the right hands and the best feats selected for the playstyle, an Ogryn Build can play the role of a great support unit in Warhammer 40k Darktide.
Key Highlights
- Over the course of the game, up to 30 levels, players unlock 18 feats for Ogryn with 3 feats unlocking every 5 levels.
- Out of 18 total feats, the player has been given the choice to select only 6 feats for the build.
- Smash ‘Em Good, Heavyweight, Towering Presence, Die Hard, Raging Bull, and Unstoppable are the best feats for Ogryn in Warhammer 40k Darktide.
- The utility of feats is subjective and is not compatible with every build for the character. So it is highly recommended to experiment along the way as well.
Best Ogryn Feats
For Ogryn you should center your feats around a build that lets you have maximum crowd control while also letting you withstand a huge amount of damage for as long as possible. In layman’s words, your playstyle should be in accordance with what a tank does, which is to provide cover, shield teammates, and provide support. Below we have listed the best 6 feats out of 18 for Ogryn in Warhammer 40k Darktide.
Smash ‘Em Good! – Level 5
![Level 5 Feat](https://cdn.exputer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Smash-Em-Good-Warhammer-40k-Best-Ogryn-Feats_result.jpg)
- Toughness: 20% increase (executing heavy attack)
The first feat we would like to recommend for Ogryn is Smash ‘Em Good! which restores 20% of your toughness for every successful heavy attack.
Heavyweight – Level 10
![Level 10 Feat](https://cdn.exputer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Heavyweight-Warhammer-40k-Best-Ogryn-Feats_result.jpg)
- Damage: 50% increase (against specific enemies)
- Resistance: 50% increase (against specific enemies)
Heavyweight increases your melee damage by 50% against Bulwarks, Crushers, Plague Ogryns, and Reapers and reduces your damage intake against the same enemies.
Towering Presence – Level 15

- Coherency: 50% increase
Coherency is a mechanic that the game kind of hammers home with the feats of its various operators.
Die Hard – Level 20
- Toughness: 100% increase (health below 25%)
As someone who will face hordes and bosses head-on, your health bar is something you will forget about in the midst of mayhem, and as someone who plays the role of shielding his allies and diverting attention to yourself, you don’t want to be in a critical state and retreat briefly from the battlefield, leaving your less tanky allies vulnerable to the enemies.
Raging Bull – Level 25
![Level 25 feat](https://cdn.exputer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Raging-Bull-Warhammer-40k-Best-Ogryn-Feats_result.jpg)
- Damage: 5% increase (on every melee hit)
This feat equipped you to receive a 5% increase to your next melee hit after landing a successful melee attack. This skill is absolutely solid when against hordes or bosses because in close quarters you will be using your melee attacks a lot and this can work wonders when in a tough situation.
Unstoppable – Level 30
![Level 30 feat](https://cdn.exputer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Unstoppable-Warhammer-40k-Best-Ogryn-Feats_result.jpg)
- Distance Covered: 100% increase (for Bullrush ability)
Unstoppable increases the distance traveled by 100% when using the Bull Rush ability. It cannot be blocked by any enemy except for monstrosities. On paper, this increases your distance to reach enemies and deal damage to more enemies, but it has another great use which is making up for Ogryn’s slow speed.
Other Feats
As mentioned above, pretty much any feat of any class in Warhammer 40k Darktide can be the best if you are using a build where the feat in question can be very useful. Apart from the 6 aforementioned feats, below we have listed the rest of the feats you unlock for Ogryn after progressing to level 30.
- Lynchpin – Level 5: Grants a +100% toughness to all allies in coherency.
- Best Form of Defence… – Level 5: Upon hitting multiple enemies with a single heavy melee attack, the Ogryn’s toughness is restored by 20%

Summary
Just like other classes,3 feats are unlocked after every 5 levels with the process continuing till you reach level 30. In total, you will unlock 18 feats for Ogryn and will have to select 6 best feats that suit your build the most.
The question of the best feat is always in the realm of mystery since it totally depends upon the type of build you are using. That is exactly why it’s always recommended to try out every feat at your disposal if the above-mentioned feats aren’t working for you because at the end of the day the feats that are recommended might not be compatible with the build you are using. But generally, these feats will work great for the most part.
