Space Marine 2 Sniper Block Build | Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Build Guide

I love the Sniper SMG builds, but haven’t seen it used with a block weapon yet… looks pretty damn good.

Purple Block Chainsword. I mention it because it's so easy to miss/forget about it for the relics. It's an incredible 6+ speed! Give it a run if you haven't. Aside from hammer, it's the only way I enjoy block builds.

I'm running it on the Tactical to try it now.

[@johnphillips3332]

i never thought to do rolling attacks at the same time as entering cloak, i should try that technique since i play a carbine style sniper

That block knife hits like a truck 😅. I really tried to make it work with this build, but i really need parry to stop attacks. Like when the ravener attacked you around 5:52, a parry > gunstrike on his first two attacks would have stopped him, and then you can gunstrike and cloak in and out. I also went back to shoulder bash instead of shadow stab. Now that shadow stab can't stunlock anymore 😢 i found shoulder bash just has more use cases. You can shoulder bash to close distance on enemies and hit them, it also makes openings for you when you're surrounded by minoris, and its instant. As long as you are running you will shoulder bash. I really like shoulder bash to cancel my cloak immediately too. Its great for positioning as well away from sniper fire or ranged that are hitting something behind you.

Shoulder Bash I know its more about positioning and it does have a decent front side aoe, is there any notice of a dmg difference or overall still pretty weak?

[@Bigborian92783]

@MoProduktions it hits about the same as a first hit of a heavy combo. It's not a massive damage dealer, but with the block knife, it hits pretty damn hard. The best part about it for me is the mobility and positioning and the stun on impact.

In a multi-player perspective, block only really for for vanguard and bulwark, because those to can offset the drawbacks to survivability, in solo, block feels way squishy for assault, sniper and even tactical. Although the new block hammer has great dps, you're left with nothing but a glass cannons build, which in multi-player is fine, but in solo you can get overwhelmed pretty quick without heavy bolter for contested health regen. But destroying terminus in melee is incredibly satisfying.

Have you tried to combine perfect block stacks, cloak bonus and shadow stab? I think the damage of that single attack should be quite insane 😁

[@MoProduktions]

I want to see it! I haven't been able to pull it off. Getting 3 stacks is to difficult as it is right now imo.

[@Bigborian92783]

Damn that would hit hard! But that would be such a pain to try to get all of that stacked up and then hit.

What perks for the bolt

[@MoProduktions]

All the way across the bottom row first, then with your remaining 2 put in Artificer Dmg10%, Headshot 10%...
