Space Marine 2 Operation: Ruthless Rush Solo with Basic Equipment

Space Marine 2. Playing low lvl Vanguard with Master Crafted (green) equipment and solo running tier 4 difficulty Inferno.
Great way to power lvl up low lvl classes that have access to Melta weapons (Tactical, Vanguard, Heavy) and get quick Relic Upgrades.

The easier difficulties are more lore accurate in terms of weapon damage and space marine tankiness. The harder difficulty is genuinely for the challenge.

[@fogstorm5531]

Then they need to stop locking the best weapons behind the hardest difficulty

[@proggz39]

@@fogstorm5531”they should get rid of progression in a video game because… lore”

[@J.B.1982]

@@proggz39 To an extent. The weapons should feel accurate but that doesn't mean you can't have some level of progression in how it performs. Damage is only one metric. Sadly, this game doesn't throw more enemies at you with increase in difficulty, you just get damage sponges.

[@kharnthebetrayer8251]

​@proggz39 the downside of them locking the best weapons behind the harder difficulties, is that it gets people who aren't good enough for those difficulties, to need to go into them. They can't stay on normal and get everything unlocked, they NEED a bunch of difficulty 3 and 4 to get the weapons

[@julainstone8683]

The thing about killing the big guys first is that they depicted the telepathic link between the hive so hormagaunts automatically die when a warrior or something bigger dies near them.

[@turin236]

This doesn't kill them in Ruthless, I think it does damage to them still, so you might need multiple execution of majoris enemies for them to die. But, then again, Melta goes brrrr

[@lollylegsgruff]

[@repo445-d4h]

TLDR: Melta isn't the only weapon that gives more contested health back, its any AOE damage because contested health seems to be calculated based off damage done to ANY enemy entity. Melta just triggers the bug more frequently because of how it does damage. Hey Legend, wanted to share what I've seen with the Contested Health bug. It seems that contested health works basically like "if [contested health] = active, then [%damage done to enemies] is added to [Current HP]" (I'm not a programmer but i'm trying to just get it concise. The issue is that the MAX contested health bar is only enforced when damage is done to ONE target (such as an execution) but when doing AOE damage, either from the Plasma gun or the Melta then the available pool of contested health is ignored for total damage done to all targets. It seems that the intent was that damage done to just one target would be added back to the HP pool but the implementation makes it so that damage done to ANY target is added back, when damage is done via Primary Weapon, Secondary Weapon, or Melee. Equipment (grenades) doesn't do any contested health regen. This is just from what I've seen.

[@diazinth]

I guess the "max contested health bar" is only enforced per target, and not on the total. This is the only time I've seen anything from this game though, so just basing it on this video and your comment.

[@hardcorelace7565]

Spiffing brit played this to show off a couple of exploits, one of which was that you can heal all your max contested health off of every target you damage. The other one he showed is that for everyone but assault you can infinitely dodgeroll and have permanent I frames for everything but explosives.

[@tuh774]

Yep i can do this same thing with bolt rifle with GL. However its easiest with melta because you don't need to aim and its just very fast and easy to use.

[@unnero1]

Im actually training myself over for the Plasma because once Melta will get nerfed everyone will be unable to play on high difficulty suddenly.

[@LeVeLs404]

I expect that too, would be nicer if they would just buff the other weapons either but well most certainly they will nerf the shit out of the melters

[@tuh774]

Funny thing any AoE damage can do what melta does, the healing part. For example standard issue bolt rifle with GL, if you just chuck a grenade when you have little white HP you get to full HP instantly. And bolt rifle GL on relic level can 2 shot rubric marines with scan, and i am pretty sure GL damage is same across the levels it just changes the ammo count. So anything AoE = bugged like melta.

[@unidentifiedbiomass4106]

they would have to do a better job balancing difficulty jumps tho

[@araknas3981]

Most of the people I meet in Ruthless don't use Melta and get by fine. Sure, it's the strongest weapon by a wide margin but it's absolutely not necessary for playing Ruthless. Hell, it's way more fun without it.

[@Azrael178]

I too believe in melta supremacy. It's just so satisfying to know you don't have a "shoot" button,but rather a "remove" button

[@40kVallin]

Thank you a lot for the video, I struggled a lot with that white bar and losing so much health, this helps a lot! And good to see you can go to the next area without clearing out all the mobs, didn´t know that too. Then again I play Bulwark, so I´m limited to how many enemies I can slice up at once.

[@Lyonatan]

Contested health, it's like the 3rd thing the tutorial tells you.

[@Astartes7670]

Yeah but logically it could only gain health back as much as the white bar goes, not back to full like the game does ​@@Lyonatan

[@Birdzlitlehelpr]

Bulwark has the best health regen in the game currently. They don't need contested health, you simply knock any enemy into the execution stance, then drop a banner and immediately press execute. This will fully restore your health and will do the same thing for teammates if you drop the banner for them when they perform an execution.

[@katocs]

Hey there, small tip, if you play the tactical class, you can essentially spam infinite dodge rolls and you will not be damaged by anything unless ranged weapons hit you from the back.

[@notjustanother3191]

What you say about the bots is right and I'm terrible. The bots in this game are really good. On my normal playthrough, they never got stuck, they left me executes when I was low, downed once each. I think a lot what is wrong with this game was sacrificed to make the bots that good. It would be nice if you could issue basic commands. Republic commando had this like 15 years ago may more and no game has matched it. Turret placements your squad could man and ordering them to do things would have literally made every aspect infinitly better and probably changed this into the squad game I it's trying to be.

[@mantism.d.8363]

I started playing Vanguard last night, and it quickly became my favorite class. Grinded to level 10 in a session. Logged on today and saw all my progres was lost 😭...even whilst playing online. Im trying to find the motivation to do it again tonight. I hope they fix this crap soon, bc I know 100% I'm not the only one this has happened to.

[@atticlion7648]

This could have been so much easier if Legend would have just parried a few times, used his grapple hook for mobility, or even just pulled out a pistol to shoot some of the little ranged bastards. Still, it's impressive what you can do while handicapping yourself to this extent.

[@fedoratheexplora9359]

its worth mentioning that you can simply spam your dodge roll to get past sections where killing the enemy isnt strictly necessary. so long as you actually dodge roll away from enemies and not into them youre practically immortal. sprinting is a bit faster but also less safe. combining this with the health recovery from that contested health bug can probably easily get you through some maps.

[@kaiserkonda]

Just a little tip: you can teleport tobthe launch bay and armoury on the ship by pressing "TAB" once

[@noooooo336]

Its nice seeing legend do something different!!!

[@unipanda1929]

I guess it is fine aslong as there are no teammates, but as soon as there are.. this just looks both annoying, bad and unfun. Had some random people try to do this on my team on Ruthless and I let them rot and die up ahead while I did everything properly and actually played the game without any issues.

[@cealfonsovargas]

If you stin pack it creates a small window to heal to full health with the melta. It happens because stims does contested health for a small window. Meltas are going to get the hammer for sure. They are the only viable weapon.

At least 2 times when you went down it could've been prevented by a parry because you couldn't dodge anywhere. You do you though of course, as long as we having fun we win!

[@nematomaskibiras5291]

[@TheGgreen100]

To be honest, this game looks like it entirely misses the point of being a Space Marine. You spend the entire level running scared with your tail tucked between your legs and only a sliver of health, and barely any ammo. How exactly is that supposed to make you feel like the emperor's angel of death?

[@punkdrunkmonk824]

What way are you playing? It's not that for me. At higher levels ya, plus he did it with no teammates, which means more dodge spam and running.

[@Squeeble00]

He's playing on the highest difficulty while using low level gear, none of the important higher level perks, and pretty much actively avoiding melee combat.

[@urarti9895]

Tzeentch gotta be a little nervous rn knowing that the Thousand Sons are not the most bs ones here

[@guyincognito1406]

I get it, it’s a game mechanic. But the first one specifically had health gain on finishers as a defining trait. Threw that away and said you only gain health on damage, only after you take damage. Never mind that space marines have “legendary” healing and literal upgrades for it… the worst is clearing 5 packs and to just get stun locked from 1 mistake on the last pack and your team one shots them leaving all your health gone instantly.

[@bregigele2456]

Do more spam dodging when you're running. That'll help you with the little adds doing the lunge attack and the snipers. And also, mission 3 is way easier to just run through than this. It has a couple of "defend the circle" objectives that are time based. As soon as you complete them, you just move on and keep running. And obviously the entire mission ends as soon as you defend the third circle in the final room. Very linear, very easy.

[@michaelfielding6666]
