In the 41st millennium, there exists a plethora of war-mongering factions, eachvying for supremacyin their stalwart attempts to pursue their causes whether noble or grotesque. But all of their aspirations dwarf the presence of the most powerful pursuit in the galaxy. It is not the purity of the Immortal God Emperor, but rather, Da Great WAAAGH!; courtesy of the Orks inWarhammer 40K: Shootas, Blood & Teef.

But to achieve Da Great WAAAGH!, one skullz and bonez are not enough. One needs an endless supply of boyz to sacrifice, and of course, the loudest and meanestdakka! And when it comes to pursuing WAAAGH! inWarhammer 40K: Shootas, Blood & Teef, these dakkas will outright bloody some of da tuffest gits in the ‘Mpeeryum.
8Looted Plasma Pistol
Pistols and handguns are usually just afterthoughts for the meanest of Orks. They’re small dakkas, after all, but one of them is quite formidable, and that’s the Looted Plasma Pistol. The Greenskins merely pried it from the cold, dead hands ofa Space Marineand apparently, they liked it too much.
The weapon itself deals good damage and can burn most enemies in just a couple of shots with good precision. The only downside is overheating, which will damage players if they keep firing the overheated weapon. But otherwise, it’s one of the best sidearms in the game.
7Splinta Shoota
The Splinta Shoota is the typical rifle if players want something familiar or conventional. But it does have its own quirks. The bullets themselves will split into splinters upon impact (hence the weapon’s name). This causes a mini-shotgun effect that’s ideal for taking outtargets who are lined up.

Still, don’t expect much from this weapon in terms of damage. The damage per round is low and the splinters themselves only inflict little bits of harm. But it does have its uses for clearing enemies fast, including their weaker variants and minions. Plus, it’s a fast-firing weapon if that’s what players want.
6Stikky Launcha
The Stikky Launcha is practically a grenade launcher that’s still miles better than the default Rokkit Launcha. For one, it’s not as harmful to players if they get too close to the explosion radius. Moreover, it fires in arcs, meaning players can perform some trick shots on enemies behind cover.
The downside? The rounds are grenades and take a bit of time before they explode, so they will take a bit of adjustment on the players’ part. Such a weakness can disrupt the player’s preferred playstyle, especially since there are better weapons that won’t test patience. Regardless, it’s a great weapon for players with bad aim.
5Skorcha
Skorcha is the iconic Ork flamethrower, except it’s more crudely engineered compared to the typical Space Marine orAstra Militarumequipment. It’s the best tool for dealing with pesky rats that are usually hard to hit. Against clusters of enemies, it also does devastating damage.

The burning effect also lets players inflict a bit of crowd control as enemies who are on fire will panic and run like headless chickens. Players need to be careful with such a fun weapon though; the Skorcha will scorch them if they don’t respect the overheat meter.
4Double Barrel Boomstikk
The regular shotgun or Boomstikk is already a formidable close-quarters weapon. But the Orks just had to add two more barrels to the already twin-barreled beast. So technically, this makes the Double Barrel Boomstikk a quad-barrel shotgun; and means four times the fun and the carnage.
This weapon will shred any enemy who gets too close. Sadly, the reload speed is doubled so players will need to time their shots and train their aim better compared to the regular shotgun. But once players have activated WAAAGH!, this shotgun becomes a weapon of mass destruction.
3Bolta
Leave it to theSpace Marinesto populate the Ork arsenal. This weapon is yet another one stolen from the dead Space Marine victims of the Ork WAAAGH! rampage. Sure enough, it’s every bit as glorious and as impactful as the same Bolter Rifle they use. It’s a gun that fires huge rounds that penetrate even the toughest of armor.

To that end, the Bolta is an efficient weapon in taking out enemies behind enemies or even behind cover. The Bolta does have a glaring downside. This weapon is slow and only holds 10 rounds per clip. However, it builds up the WAAAGH! meter fast enough, so players will mostly be shooting relentlessly and with reckless abandon. It’s a good all-rounder weapon.
2Zzapstikk
As far as shotguns go, the Zzapstikk is the flashiest and most satisfying to use, even more so than the quad-barreled abomination above. The Zzapstikk is an energy weapon that doesn’t overheat and only holds three rounds. But each round fired will splinter into a volley of lasers that also bounces off surfaces several times.
They’re like numerous pinballs of death that burn any enemy they touch. As such, this weapon will clear up rooms faster than most and will also keep enemies busy with fire. It’s not great for taking out single targets, but even bosses at point-blank range will suffer from this weapon.
1Gitseeka Missiles
As the weapon implies, aiming isfor gits. Orks are too busy shouting WAAAGH! to aim, so this launcher weapon does all the work for them. It’s a much better version of the Rokkit Launcher since it will seek out targets. Players do need to be careful as they can also krump themselves by standing too close to their targets while firing.
Still, that danger is a small price to pay for this sophisticated dakka. Players can kill enemies off-screen with the Gitseeka Missiles. And once they have activated the WAAAGH!, they’ll turn into a missile turret that will make even the Space Marines go green…with envy.
