Hi-Intensity Shock Troop Gauntlet, Damnation gameplay on using the Lorenz Mk V Kickback and Brute-Brainer MK III Latrine Shovel.
Slated as one of the most underwhelming and under-used weapons for the Ogryn since Launch and even after buffs, the Kickback is a cannon sized shotgun weapon that delivers high damage at very close ranges. Anything further than a few meters away is pushed backwards by the impact of the blast and takes increasingly minimal damage depending on distance.
It deals enough damage to one-shot almost every non-Ogryn enemy with the Hound, Mutant, Maulers Armoured Ragers and Dreg Gunners taking more shots. However, it is only able to do this at point bank range. Personally, I would prefer its maximum damage range to be extended, maybe just a meter. This would mean you don't need to be sniffing the skin of the forces of Nurgle to deliver the one shot kill and would swing the scales on the weapon away from Crowd Control towards more killing potential.
Weapons like this are meant to feel powerful, making them a crowd control utility just makes them feel weak and lame in my opinion. And the pick-rate of the weapon suggests many others agree.
Let me know your thoughts on the weapon below.
LOADOUT:
Lorenz Mk V Kickback
Brute-Brainer MK III Latrine Shovel
Feats: 3-1-1-1-1-2
