Beastboss Guzcutta
September 16, 2026 at 04:21 AM
Initial version (2026-09-15)
Beastboss Guzcutta is the second Orks Commander in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV. He is an original character created for this game, designed as an upstart rival to the returning Warboss Gorgutz.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV has not released yet. Everything on this page reflects information published before launch and may change.
The studio has explained the design brief directly. Bringing Gorgutz back opened up the chance to introduce an upstart Warboss worthy of going up against him, and after considering many options the team designed a Beast Snagga Boss named Guzcutta. The intent was a fight between the classic Orks and the new kids on the block, which is also why the Beast Snagga tribes join the series for the first time in this entry.
The developers describe Guzcutta as essentially two units in one, and the switch between them is a campaign unlock rather than a toggle available from the start.
Form | What It Means |
|---|---|
On foot | A Beast Snagga boss, and a great, super-tough fighter |
Mounted | Later in the campaign a rideable Squigosaur is unlocked, which makes him faster and adds a ferocious bone-chewing beast fighting alongside him |
That gives the Ork player two very different Commanders to pick between. Gorgutz is armoured, slow and devastating; Guzcutta starts tough on foot and becomes a fast, mounted threat. See Commanders for how Commander selection works.
Guzcutta is named on the Year 1 Expansion roadmap as a free update, labelled for Last Stand and Crusade Mode. He is the fourth and last of the four free drops shown, paired with Map Pack IV, in the window the roadmap marks Summer. Lord Ahmnok receives the same treatment earlier in the sequence. See Post-Launch Roadmap and DLC for the full plan.
