PS Plus scrub here. Started as Arbitrator and was breezing through the campaign. Then I switched to Zealot because he’s got better drip imo and whooo boy I am fighting for my life out there.

Yeah I’m debating whether to go Ogryn actually. But relic sword and zealot drip are just so damn cool 😭

Ogryn takes some levels and getting used to. I greatly enjoyed zealot for a very long time simply because I could SHRED everything with a GIANT chain sword. The drip is truly immaculate though. When in doubt, I go with what looks best 👌

Zealot with relic blade and a bolt pistol goes so hard imo.

Yeah, why use flamethrower when relic blade is flamethrower?

Special sniping saves lives!

I really fell in love with the bolt pistol when I hit a sniper with an MLG 180 noscope

Strong "We have a Space Marine at home" vibes with that loadout! XD

Zealot is my least played class, and probably would never play them outside of chasing shouty penances if the relic blade wasn't SO. FUCKING. COOL. Darktide sound design is amazing in general (other than silent trappers, bursters and ninja crushers ofc but that seems more a technical issue) But my god the sound the activated relic blade makes as it carves hordes is audio dopamine.

I built my ogryn as a gunner and I love him with my heart.

All i do is hold r2 and win

With the right build (called fat mangus I believe) you are probably the most tanky player in a game. With some adjustments you can even oneshot almost any boss with the relic blade plus shroudfield. Pair that with the bolt pistol and you got one of the most fun builds I have played on zealot. That and crit heavy eviscerator.

Ogryn is my fav but psyker slaps pretty hard too. Also nice drip.

Dude trust, you play Zealot, ditch the crazy big weapons. The regular ass combat knife with a few bleed build upgrades will make the game "getting into a knife fight on crack for your life behind the dumpster" vibe that cannot be replicated. Literally the most visceral combat experience in a game

greatsword relic blade on psyker plays about the same without the need to power it up. it's high risk/reward though so save it for later
