Best Guns in Space Marine 2, ranked
The primary and secondary weapons in Space Marine 2 are mostly the first resort in combat. Whether you’re smiting your foes from afar with precision weaponry or pumping them full of rounds up close,you’ll need the best kit on you.
These following weapons aremonsterswhen used accordingly. They dealhuge amounts of damagein their respective fields and are not to be taken lightly.
Although the Plasma Incinerator isn’t a heavy or special gun like the others, it’sanextremely reliable, powerful, and versatile gunthat will allow you tohold your ground in Operationsand hound your opponents in multiplayer.
These Space Marine 2 weapons are good, reliable, and can bedevastating in the right hands. They may lack some versatility or power, but they make up for it in other aspects.
Headshots with the Bolt Sniper Rifle candeal significant damageand anyone with a heavy Plasma Incinerator can pin down enemies and fire over cover. In a pickle, the Plasma Pistol remains a formidable defense that will leave marks on your enemies.
I’m sorry bolters, but you simply don’t stand up against your cousins. Although these Bolt guns are rather varied and different, ultimately, theyjust aren’t as powerful or useful(in a PvP sense mostly, they’re just fine in PvE).
The bolters can sometimes feel like slightly modified versions of each other. Although that’s technically the case, theslight stat differencesbetween them mean none of them are much more impressive than the other.
Here lies the lowly Bolt guns thatreallydon’t make the cut. These weapons have very little competitiveedge in multiplayerandaren’t first picksin Operations, either.
The Bolt Carbinejust does too little damageand burns through ammo like no one’s business. And all the Instigator Bolt Carbine really does is make it a burst rifle. And need I justify the poor Bolt Pistol?
Best Melee Weapons in Space Marine 2, ranked
The melee weapons in Space Marine 2 are all surprisingly viable in different combat niches. It’s hard to say that one of these weapons is objectively bad, for I can then think of many situations in which I may desire them. However, ultimately, some are generally more useful than others.
Naturally, the Thunder Hammer takes thetop spot.
The purepower and magnitudeof the Thunder Hammer make it a first pick in Operations most of the time and make it a force to be reckoned with in multiplayer. Youdo notwant to be up against an Assault Astartes wielding one of these.
These two weapons are pretty damn good. They are reliable and haveinteresting and dynamic combosfor flexible fighting, both in PvE and PVP.
The Chainsword is great as it deals high damage against single targets but has combo moves that allow for crowd control. Also, the Power Sword can switch between power and fast mode, allowing for versatility in the heat of combat. They’re alsoboth pretty strong.
The Power Fist is an odd case, as although I personally enjoy using the Power Fist and it’s certainly a viable weapon, I feel as thoughit gets out-ranked in the later versionsof the weapon by the higher melee weapons.
It’samazing in Operationsand is a strong contender in multiplayer, but I can’t seemanyskilled players opting for it.
The poor Combat Knife takes the bottom spot, as although it’s incredibly swift and there is a time and place for it, ultimately, it getsout-matched by the othersalmost every time.
Even Relic level Combat Knives are only reallyokaywhen compared to the staggering Relic level versions of other melee weapons. They’re quick, butthat’s not all that mattersin a PvP setting. The Combat Knife also only performs moderately against NPC enemies, too.
Now that you know all about how each weapon compares to each other in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, you can kit out your class in confidence. Before you engage with the enemy, however,make sure your graphics settings are up to scratch.
