Space Marine 2 - All 22 Weapons Ranked WORST To BEST! (Ruthless)

[@SoulKingsss]

*RANKINGS I'D FIX:* - Bolt Rifle w/ Nade Launcher should be in God Tier - Bolt Carbine should be A Tier - Power Sword should be above Hammer, even with my bias Thats it 🗿🗿 *I didnt think the video would get this many views... hope you enjoyed it! Did i make any mistakes on the list?* ⚔

[@Sargatas]

Yes. Power sword (11/7 deflect one in particular) is the most universal weapon in the whole game. It's fast as a knife and it slices elites on a british flag. Also plasma pistol should be in S because it has firepower of a normal weapon (there was a match where I had 15k melee damage and 10k range damage on bulwark, these 2 weapons are the exact reason why bulwark is a strongest class). And heavy bolt pistol should be somewhere around regular bolt-pistol both in the middle of the list. Light one is very underrated and heavy is very overrated.

I agree I pick that bolt and grenade launcher every time.

[@Elthenar]

The Bolt with nades is absolutely top tier. Fully kitted out, you get 10 grenades, not counting any ammo buffs you might get from a Heavy. YOu get good with the arc, you can just saturated an area and kill everything. You will kill a majoris enemy and get most or all of your grenades back. Then go do it to another pack. Plus, should you run out of grenades, you still have a pretty good bolt rifle AND your pistol. It's not competing with the Las Fusil, it's competing with Melta for best weapons in the game

The Las Fusil when fully upgraded hits like the God Emperor himself shot the round at the enemy, its just devastating. Yes it has a very high skill ceiling, it requires precision but you can get the charge time down to where its I believe 0.5 seconds so its negligible. A key point is the Las Fusil will penetrate MULTIPLE enemies including Majoris threats, I have 2 shot 2 Majoris enemies before using the same Las beams, instantly depleted 40% of the nids in the area. Now if only I could get the Las Fusil with the Heavy Bolt Pistol that would be amazing.

I understand you’re making a tier list and the bolt pistol is “technically” the worst pistol but i cant hate it. So useful for one tapping annoying ranged enemies and even useful when you’re up close and personal with ranged tyranid warriors. When they do that little jump away from you just start blasting them in the head with the bolt pistol while closing distance. Idk it just seems really good for staying aggressive

[@sturmmagnunstein1008]

The thing is bolt pistol can be the most efficient pistol for chaffs, but with a huge caveat. Now ive not tried doing ruthless with a White bolt pistol, but it seems that regardless of difficulty the bolt pistol will always kill gaunts or gors with a single headshot. This means that round for round, the bolt pistol can be the most efficient weapon if you are very accurate. This is however, very unrealistic, but still if you relegate it to only shoot trash in the face its a decent strength. Bolt pistol also has very good unaimed accuracy, so much so that i find myself only using the weapon because of how accurate it is without aiming. This makes backpedalling or forward assault very viable with this weapon. The other options simply do not have anywhere close to same effect when playing this way!

[@hellfeesh]

I actually prefer the bolt pistol over the other secondary weapons. My primary is mostly used for bigger threats and the bolt pistol is hands down the best for dealing with minoris enemies. If you don't spam fire it and just aim for headshots, it's significantly more effective than the other options. I only take the plasma pistol on my heavy boltgun build, since I can use the heavy on minoris & majoris.

[@SoulKingsss]

Yup, its great for crowd control too. but Something had to go into the B and A Tiers man

[@atcera8714]

If we take PVP out of the equation, if you want maximum effectiveness, there is no reason to pick anything other than these weapons for the class like: Sniper - Laz Fusil Tactical - Bolt Rifle with Grenade Launcher/Melta Rifle/Plasma rifle(after update) Assault- Heavy Bolt pistol Heavy - All 3 weapons are great in their own way, Heavy Plasma incinerator falls a bit behind in certain situations Vanguard - Melta Rifle, it's just lightyears better to use it because it plays in so well with the melee combat potential + healing of the vanguard from final perk Bulwark - except for the few times you will ever need more bullets it's Plasma pistol all the way. Power Sword - has the best relic version among fencing weapons

[@odststalker5117]

the autobolt rifle being lowest makes perfect sense because even the devs gave it to you as the final weapon to use against the end game boss. It's the low tier option and they planned it that way for gameplay balance

Combat Knife is in the correct ranking spot EXCEPT for when you're playing Vanguard. If you rock the Fencing combat knife with Vanguard you're near untouchable. Combined with the Vanguards perks that increase perfect parry and dodge windows you can lay waste to whole groups of enemies. I've had multiple instances where I've gone into 1v7+ situations and come out on top. I actually had a match last night on ruthless where I was fighting 6 warriors and a lictor by myself bc my team had gone down in the wave. I proceeded to single handedly eliminate warriors one by one with gun strikes and combat knife parties. So in all honesty I'd rank the combat knife at S tier when wielded by Vanguard.

The Occulus could be great if Saber actually remembered that the Occ. Carbine is designed on the TT to ignore cover.

[@trevorsturgeon345]

Just so you know, the stats are relative to themselves versus other weapons. An 11 damage on a sniper is different than 11 damage on the stalker (not the actual stats, just using this as an example). The sniper, in general, does more damage even if the stats are similar. It's kind of weird, but the stats only tell you how the weapon is improving versus prior tiers or variants of that weapon.

[@SoulKingsss]

Yeah ive seemed to notice that, like: 11 damage on Stalker different from 11 on Carbine. However its deff not SOLELY designed to be relative to themselves. That'd just make no sense and terrible design for players experience. Bcuz If stats are 100% only relative to each individual weapon, and only purpose was to showcase improvement, then every weapon would start out with 0 or 1 in every stat. and upgrade from there to show which stat increases the most. Why have a sniper start out at 8-10 firepower? and end at 15? while weaker weapons start out at 2-3? End at 5-6? Then that theory REALLY goes out window when looking at Range/Accuracy or Fire Rates. Not just damage. Snipers or Meltas start with very low fire rates, while auto weapons start much higher. If all weapons were solely relative to themselves, that wouldnt be the case. *There must be some type of relative baseline for players to make sense of and understand...* Example: Snipers have high range and low fire rate numbers. While rapid fire like Bolt Carbine has low range and high fire rate numbers. Theres deff a relativity there. Seems to be a mix of both. Best way for Devs to easily showcase to players how weapons perform (however doesnt help ppl like me who try deeply analyzing it)

[@SoulKingsss]

So its not 100% relative/comparable but also not 100% solely individual. Just weird. My theory was that different Headshot Multipliers was the reason. Maybe each weapon has unique headshot multiplier. So maybe Sniper has 300% boost while Bolt Carbine be 50% boost. or, Heavy Bolt Pistol 200% while Bolt Pistol 100% but i dont know for certain

[@kubaGR8]

@@SoulKingsss As an example, compare a green Stalker Bolt Rifle to a white Sniper Bolt Rifle. The Firepower stats are close to eachother for both weapons, but the bolt sniper rifle still does notably more damage per shot, unlike what the stats would suggest.

Bolt sniper has a perk that allows you to unload your pistol into any enemy and it adds back ammo to your sniper rifle for 50% of the hits made meaning one mag of pistol hits gets your entire ammo reserve reset on call with the bolt.

[@Sev017]

With multiplayer weapon perks the knife gets a lot of buffs to crowd control. Its best cleaving attacks can be buffed by an additional 50% aoe, and Shadow Stab has solid aoe as well. You can also sacrifice shadow stab for the chain swords shoulder bash. Sniper's cloaked melee damage buff has good synergy with Shadow Stab, making a close range ambusher sniper playstyle pretty fun and effective. With all this in mind, I'd make the argument that knife (at least full level'd operations knife) should be S tier. I clear horde after horde with no issue with this set up, and duels with warriors and elites are clean. Great parry window, and a sick ass moveset. Best melee weapon imo.

[@Achilnxs]

Bolt pistol wasn’t my favorite secondary until I started playing some of the melee focused classes. It’s honestly really good. I feel it’s the most useful when your primary ranged weapon has a low ammo capacity or slow rate of fire, and it’s good for melee in assisting the low ranking add clear at range

In short if you work well with the Plasma playstyle go for it, id say the Heavy Bolter is more basic to the point and easier to pick up. * No i dont like using the grenade launcher Bolt Rifle as it feels so counter intuitive to zoom in first and then zoom in further to get the launcher mode, and if i want to clear a chunk of units its usually because theyre already too close for my liking. As a rifle the Heavy Bolt Rifle offers everything the Bolt Rifle does while having its RoF combined with ammo size going for it.

[@NightWhisper8462]

If we are taking bugs into account then the bolt sniper is better than las fusil as the bolt can have infinite ammo at max health, the reason why this is a bug is that it unlocks when you have both the magazine increase and the max ammo reserves perks along its bottom line, for some reason it is generating ammo out of the air when you swap then swap back to it, while the fusil is stronger, the rate of fire actually does make a difference when you have unlimited ammo, the one thing the fusil still has over the bolt sniper is the fact it can penetrate multiple majoris enemies but that isn't much of a bonus. *EDIT* I haven't tested this with other weapons that have a reserve increase and mag increase as I don't have them leveled up yet so I'm unsure if this is a bolt sniper thing or just a perk interaction thing, I'm assuming it's a perk interaction which would mean other weapons with these 2 perks would also have infinite ammo.

Yeah against bosses is not the best, but getting rid of majoris and even extremis while also not taking agro as sniper is awesome, just ammo is an issue.

@@Pr0digyZRX I understand. Crowd control is a must have for melee weapons on higher difficulty because even the small grunts hit hard if they jump you.

Personally, I enjoy using the Plasma Pistol over the Heavy Bolt Pistol just because all it takes to interrupt an elite calling for help is one shot. It doesn't even have to be a body shot either, just one blast and he's interrupted.

[@artemkoropotkin3047]

Great video and rankings. In your experience what would be the fastest way to level a weapon from scratch once you hit level 25 on a class? For example I hit level 25 on Heavy and trying to get my heavy bolter to relic level. Using it while its green or even purple state in Ruthless is a no go for me because enemies are too tanky. Is there any trick to farming the exp fast aside from playing lower difficulties?

[@SoulKingsss]

Tbh dude me and my buds run ruthless with any level mostly lol. I ran Grey weapons on it to lvl up If you have a solid squad you can certainly run ruthless, even with a grey or green weapon. Yeah you'll be weak af, but if you lvl 25 plus upgraded pistol, you'll be fine. NEED a solid squad tho The gene seed is everything. So either do Average or Ruthless, focus entirely on that Gene-seed. It'll increase weapon XP also Join official Space Marine 2 discord if u need to find solid brothers! You can find great players in there ready to go

[@SoulKingsss]

But Yea if u must, run thru Average and focus on gene-seeds. Quick and decent XP with seed. You got Ruthless tho with squad💪

[@SoulKingsss]

Missions 1-2-3 are best for XP I believe. And again making good use of any upgraded weapons yr class already does have can very much help. Tragic Heavy doesn't have melee... But a Relic melee and Relic pistol is vital if you running Grey or green weapons on Ruthless lol That's what I did for this video. Had to upgrade everything

[@artemkoropotkin3047]

Yea ive been exclusively running missions 1 - 3 as they are the fastests. Looked up guides on all 5 possible gene locations for each map to ensure I get it every time. Sadly Ive got no dedicated squad and randoms in matchmaking drastically differ in skill levels. Best group is like you mentioned, all three runing meltas or one sniper and two meltas haha. Ill just keep grinding then. Thanks for the tips 👍

Bolt rifle w/ grenade launcher is god tier on tactical. It's better than melta IMO because the melta range isn't a problem and the grenades give you horde clear and single target nuke. Plus emperor's vengeance for inf grenades. So good.

[@Battlemaster952]

Just because I wanna be a nerd, the Las Fusil is a Las weapon, not plasma. They're their own type of weapon in 40k, like the standard infantry lasgun you see the guard using, or the heavy lascannons we use to take down the biotitan.

[@harvestingreaper]

A lot of words were used. A lot of examples given. Except when grading melee weapons you don't parry a single smaller enemy unless the attacks are telegraphed and don't parry anything at all on the "low tier weapons". Redo it. Not claiming you are wrong but parrying small hordes on your low tier weapons tips the grading of the weapons considerably.

[@harvestingreaper]

To make it clear I understand that giving out bias opinions is viable, but to someone that understands how the combat flow works both with melee and ranged weapons you are commenting on each weapon in different situations. Show me how each works against minoris, majoris, extremis and terminus using the weapon handling best for the weapon. if your fighting style is inflexible and you use the same tactics with knife as with thunder hammer all you will be ever able to tell me is whet weapons suit YOU best. The first weapon I made into a relic was the bolt pistol. Why? Well once you figure out all you need to do is aim for the head shots, and you learn that you WILL be getting headshots against hordes as long as you aim at a specific distance from the ground, those 12 rounds mean 12 kills fairly quickly. In comparison to lower fire rate of the plasma pistol and the heat up time of neo volkite.

24:14 Me and my buddies even run triple Melta. Its absolutely disgusting how everything gets demolished 😁

[@skyhymitch]

Interesting video but I don't think this type of list works for the game. Perhaps there could be a tier list for a couple of the auto fire bolt gun weapons (not including the Heavy). Each weapon in the game performs a specific function and has it's own style such that you are comparing apples to oranges with each weapon. For instance, the community swears by any Melta gun, however, my heavy go to is the Plasma. I've gotten both weapons to Artificer tier and unlocked multiple versions so I have plenty of experience with each. I still wouldn't place either above the other because they are perfect at what they each do.

[@Ragnarok6664]

Got allot of leveling/unlocks to do but heck as a salamander fan its hard for me not to use the melta, its such a satisfying weapon for my heavy and tactical

[@simonfreeman8233]

I understand your choice behind the carbine but I don't agree that is deserves S-rank (once you've up graded it to gain the marksman variant) when the master crafted stalker bolt rifle does exactly the same thing as the relic level carbine marksman yes it fires a little slower but it does more damage has a much higher piercing value and a faster reload (if you can remove multiple trash mobs with a single round from the stalker but it takes multiple shots from the carbine to do the same job is the added fire rate and extra ammo really that much of a difference)

[@SoulKingsss]

Youre probly right tbh. I gave it bonus points bcuz its 2 weapons in one, and most players dont have time to fully upgrade Relic level every gun. So if you choosing certain weapons to upgrade, Carbine is efficient choice. but yeah probly shouldve been lower tbh lol.

[@simonfreeman8233]

@@SoulKingsss all the weapons have their place however I think the rank of some weapons changes depending on the class that uses it for tactical the carbine is a solid a tier but for the sniper it's b class

[@SoulKingsss]

@@simonfreeman8233 Yeah 100%. I made this ranking with that element in mind. honestly i ranked it higher bcuz of its role in Sniper🤣😭It has superior crowd control compared to any other weapon the Sniper has. So thats why i figured well its fairly useless for Tactical, outclassed by everything, for crowd control OR ranged attacks. However it gives the sniper a rapid fire option, which is very useful for certain situations. For example when game offers a loadout drop right before big horde segment of mission, grab the rapid fire gun better for swarms and good to go 👍👍

Power Sword, on controller at least, uses the same button (Hold X) to switch stances as Heavy Attack. So, you can't start with a Heavy Attack; you can only use it after a Light Attack, or you just stand there... switching.

[@jammin1881]

Good video! The nade launcher bolter is S tier and just shy of the melta class rifles. Then you have the standard bolt pistol. Not great but can land two shots for each one on the heavy bolt pistol (so fairly balanced.) It's no plasma pistol but good when levelled. Sad that certain classes don't get the plas pist. The heavy bolter was a MASSIVE mistake and one of the few flaws on the game (game play wise and lore wise.) It needs to fire slower and the sound effects are off. Wayyyyy off. It needs to BOOM - BOOM - BOOM going on. Feels like a turrent class of weapon and NOT a heavy bolter.

Sadly GW is very dogged when it comes to 'lore accurate'... Primaris marines dont seem to have shotguns in the traditional sense.

Like a short range sniper almost? Bcuz Not all shotguns are 'duck shots' with super wide range lmao (like the Melta) So something powerful nd short range, but more precise, a combination of Sniper + Melta. 2-4 Shots, and reload. That'd be a real shotgun

Really the Stalker so low? I have a Sniper at 25 full relic that was initially my alt and now became my main with which i use the stalker with and i love it. In my experience only the las fusil was better firepower wise but was way too limited in the way it shoots and the few ammos so i went for the stalker and i never regretted it! Also let's talk about the knife for a second. As i Sniper i know the knife very well and i love it. The difference when i get swarmed with the sniper compared to other classes is that with the sniper i get into full defence mod and basically only parry. doing this i start clearing the smaller ones while i avoid the majoris. When the minoris number is managable again that i go back to the offensive. It takes much longer to clear a mob without being helped by your team mates but it gives the sniper a viable way to clear a mob in ruthless while staying alive for every parry gives you armor back. And when you unlock the shoulder bash that makes it even easier

[@m3divh]

Las fusil has 100% overpenetration, it can fire through as many enemies as a Melta. Also 14 damge and 15 damage is not exactly very reliable. The scores do not seem to be direct numbers but more akin to a scale. In addition the game system is a lot about breaking points. At 14 damage it take you 2 headshots to force a Tyranid Priest into executable phase the same with 15. But At 14 damage you need one headshot and three body shots to do the same but at 15 only 1 headshot and two body shots. So technically the sniper is better IF you only hit headshots. But nobody has 100% HS accuracy.
