Usage & Description
The Ogre has the potential to be another example of a strong, versatile combat rifle. Its possible specs have a large range they can fall into, and those statistics really change how the gun should be used. The ogre has a large magazine regardless, but a 69 round magazine and a 12.5 fire rate allow for the "spray & pray" strategy to be particularly effective, due to the fact that the Ogre's mandatory explosive accessory allows for large amounts of splash damage. Since the accuracy for the Ogre can range from that of a Hunter's Shotgun, to rivaling some sniper rifles, the ogre can be effective at any range based on this statistic. The Ogre shows no weaknesses overall, but it is best used in the fashion of a support machine gun, getting gratuitous amounts of explosive ordinance downrange toward the target's general area.

The Ogre can be compared to the Maliwan Hellfire or the Maliwan Defiler: Not only does it proc on almost every shot, it's accessory also increases damage output. Because nothing in Borderlands is immune to explosive damage, the Ogre can be used against anything. Overall, the Ogre is a spectacular Machine Gun with no downsides. It is vastly superior to the would-be equivalent non-Ogre Machine Gun.
