As players group up to smash through heretics for the God Emperor in Warhammer 40K: Darktide, they will do so as one of the four character classes. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and all four are a blast to play. However, not all Warhammer 40K: Darktide classes are created equal.
They all have a role on the team, and while having a balanced team is a great idea, one of them is easily better than the rest. The flood of heretics and evil will not rest, so why not go in as prepared as possible? Out of the Psyker, Ogryn, Veteran, and Zealot, which is the best class?
While I spent my time in Warhammer 40K: Darktide as a Zealot, the Ogryn fulfills the role of a melee beater much better than the Zealot.

He has extra stagger and huge, hard-hitting melee strikes, making him a must-use for tanking Elite Units while playing Darktide. With his massive health pool, he can trade shots with the most threatening enemies without as much stress.
He also has perhaps the single hardest-hitting attack in the game: The Big Box of Hurt. Instead of throwing just one grenade, the Ogryn in Warhammer 40K: Darktide throws an entire box of grenades as a single-target attack. If you’re having difficulty dealing with Elites or bosses, here’s your go-to.
