The Wave of Eternal Badassitude

Completing the first five Magic Slaughter missions allows you access to the Badass Round, which can be repeated as often as you like. The challenge level is much higher here, with a constant stream of powerful enemies and six lengthy rounds of combat. The traps remain active, and a Crystal of Perpetual Terror descends in almost every wave.

A preponderance of powerful mages will present a challenge in the second and fourth waves, while multiple Badass Orc Warlords will pose a deadly obstacle to fatigued players in the fifth wave. The final wave is led by Warlord Slog, the presumably elder brother of Warlords Grug and Turge. Like his younger siblings, he can level up, eventually becoming the mighty King of Orks. While it’d be a whole lot easier to kill him before he can claim that title, it’s worth noting that the King of Orks may drop the prized Ogre Assault Rifle.
