Don’t spam the melee button too much
The input might continuously force you to perform a melee attack, and you won’t be able to parry, dodge, or pull off a cool execute shot.
If you want to attack with your melee weapon multiple times, you can tap the button once or twice between attack animations. This gives you time to look for blue and red indicators for incoming attacks and dodge and parry when needed. Some of the best melee weapons are fast, so you need to pay attention to how rapidly you tap the attack button.

Dodge when you are overwhelmed
If you see the red indicator, you have to dodge instead of parry. If you feel your timing is a bit off, you can dodge twice to make sure you don’t get hit.
These attacks, you might get staggered, and enemies will swarm you with more attacks. It’ll snowball from there until you can get out, or you may use your Righteous Fury ability to make sure you get out.

Execute enemies as a form of defense
Performing executes not only disposes of an enemy instantly, but you also regain your armor and become immune to damage while performing the execution.

1) Focus on ranged enemies
2) Don’t be afraid to use your healing
3) Learn melee weapon combos to fight more effectively
4) Parry at every possible opportunity (Blue Icon)
5) Don't panic dodge in hordes
6) Change your primary weapon often, to match what's coming
7) The Plasma Pistol is or might be the best secondary weapon
8) Don't forget to use grenades
9) Healing is limited but fighting aggressively can save your life
10) Smash Imperium crates for extra supplies

While missions in Space Marine 2 are linear, there are plenty of hidden routes and nooks that hold valuable resources and interesting collectibles for you. find dataslate collectibles, Medicae Stimms, and extremely powerful heavy weapons such as Heavy Bolters and Multi-Meltas.

Masters of long-range warfare, Snipers use powerful rifles like the Laz fusil to eliminate threats from afar. Their Camo Cloak ability allows for stealth and tactical positioning. With perks enhancing accuracy, damage, and team support, Snipers can control the battlefield and provide crucial support to their squad.
This is perhaps the most advanced class that takes some getting used to in my opinion, from all the 6 starting classes in Space Marine 2. The 2 Armor Class rating also does not help. However, the class does have a pretty good role that it can play in a team, as some of its abilities help revive teammates faster as well.

Special Ability
The Sniper Class has Camo Cloak as its Special Ability, which makes you invisible till you land an attack. The perks focus on getting more damage when cloaked, auto-reload when activating Camo Cloak, and so on. This can also startle enemies when you break cover from Camo Cloak – giving you some time to deal damage and then get some distance from the other enemies nearby.

The Heavy Class is just exactly that – a decently tanky, high-ranged damage-dealing class. It has an Armor Class of 3 and comes with perks that help restore the armor on doing damage to enemies. The class is the slowest in the game and you would not want this class to move around the battlefield doing melee damage. This class is made to plant itself in one spot, take the Heavy stance, and dish out massive damage to enemies at range. Along with that, it can also be a decent support class – it has a special team perk ‘Bonds of Brotherhood’ that can revive a teammate to full health!

Heavy Class Ability: Iron Halo
Creates a bubble shield in front of the player that blocks all ranged damage.
The Heavy Class has Iron Halo as its Special Ability- and it does exactly that: it envelopes you in a protective dome that absorbs all incoming ranged and light attack damage, allowing you to continue dealing uninterrupted range damage to enemies. This can also be upgraded to help squad members take reduced damage from ranged attacks; or increase ranged damage when Iron Halo is in effect.

Librarian: Wielders of psychic might, Librarians could bring devastating warp-based abilities to the fight. Their unique arsenal might include force weapons that channel their psychic energy, offering a mix of close combat prowess and ranged psychic attacks that could turn the tide of battle.


Chaplain: Spiritual leaders of the Adeptus Astartes, Chaplains could boost squad morale and combat effectiveness. Armed with the iconic Crozius Arcanum and equipped with litanies that buff allies or debuff enemies, they could serve as powerful support units that inspire nearby battle-brothers to greater feats of heroism.


Apothecary: Guardians of gene-seed and healers of the wounded, Apothecaries could introduce vital support mechanics to the game. Their unique weaponry might include specialized tools for revival and healing, along with defensive capabilities to protect fallen comrades. An Apothecary could be crucial for sustaining the squad through prolonged engagements.


Terminator: Clad in ancient and revered Tactical Dreadnought Armor, Terminators could bring unparalleled resilience and firepower to the battlefield. These walking tanks might move slower than their power-armored brethren, but their ability to shrug off devastating attacks and deliver punishing blows could change the dynamics of any engagement.

Full Arsenal & Class Breakdown

Weapon Perks are upgrades for each weapon that improve their power and efficiency in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2. Learn how to unlock Weapon Perks and see a list of all Weapon Perks with their effects in this guide!

How to Unlock Weapon Perks
Obtain Weapon EXP
The first step to unlocking weapon perks is obtaining weapon Exp, which is done simply by playing through Operations missions.

Spend Armory Data to Unlock Weapon Tiers
Next, you will need to spend Armory Data to unlock each successive weapon Tier. The tiers are, in order: Standard, Master-Crafted, Artificer, and Relic.
You can obtain Armory Data by playing through Operations missions. You obtain higher-tier Armory Data by playing on higher difficulties in Operations.

Spend Mastery Points to Unlock Each Weapon Perk
Finally, you must use Mastery Points to unlock each individual weapon perk. Mastery Points can be obtained by maxing out the EXP of weapons and their upgrades in matches.

Reset Perks Anytime
You can also reset the Weapon Perks you've taken anytime so there's no way to waste your Mastery Points.

You can customize your character by going to the Armoring Hall from the Battle Barge outside the Campaign. Select the class you want to change the appearance of and select Edit Armor on the bottom. From here, you can choose custom armor sets and Astartes Chapters to give your Space Marine a unique look.
