Ultra AGGRESSIVE Vanguard May Actually Be The Best Class - SOLO Lethal Difficulty - Space Marine 2

[@thepunisherxxx6804]

I prefer Instigator. Its not as good horde clearing as melta but its sort of a jack of all trades gun. Penetration ok for minoris, good damage for majoris and even bosses. Feels better than melta overall vs Chaos too, just better to have that precision for the chaos space marines.

[@Tardenglobe2346]

Vanguard is good, but the best class is the one you enjoy playing the most. 🙂

[@Whiskeyhelps38]

Probably the most underrated comment! Getting pretty tired of people min/maxing and trying to use meta choices for a game that is meant to be casually played for the masses, not for the Uber sweats.

[@DavidTector]

I mean, the game is for everybody... Not casuals. Play what you want but obviousky youtube is going to cover meta classes because that's something to learn. You don't need a video to enjoy playing whoever you want however you want.

[@ДанилоЯнчук]

Agree, there is no best class, there is most fun and least fun class

[@mystbourne3636]

Love this guys laughs and attitude. “Blood and guts, ha ha ha”

[@Arishem34]

Just started leveling (level 15) one, and I thought I knew my favorite. The Vanguard fits my playstyle. Aggressive, Melta-clearing, Combat Knife melee speed and good parrying. Never thought the Grapnel Launcher would feel this good. Gap-closer and space-maker. Decent interrupts. I play fast and furious - Vanguard fits the bill. Bulwark's still #2.

[@Nosh_Feratu]

same, thought I was gonna hate it, ended up easily being my joint fav class with Sniper/Bulwark. Playstyle is immense.

[@daggumnametaken]

Sooner you drop the knife for chainsword, the better. You already have passive bonus to parry, use the better weapon.

[@Nosh_Feratu]

@@daggumnametaken for sure, definitely go with the chainsword for Vanguard.

[@Arishem34]

@@daggumnametaken Yeah, I was leveling the Combat Knife at the time and already had a Relic Chainsword. After getting the CK to relic, I switched back to the better option.

[@connorjensen9699]

to shoot melta instead of gunstrike, ADS. I put my ADS on right click and set the type to "hold" in the settings and its extremely snappy

[@ammarahmed9156]

You can run the Melta on tactical since that class has a perk that reloads the gun after an execution

[@nelski8161]

How did you do that double stomp? Chill af vids aswell by the way, remind me of my granda lol! He would have this little chuckle too no matter how stressful a situation.

[@jyoung488]

It’s a perk on the chainsword. Little tricky to do. At the start of the first stomp while his leg is rising, release and hold attack again. Same thing for the hammer double pound.

[@WhateverYouSayAlex]

lol that’s pretty kool man 😅…the double stomp is on the top tree for the sword perks.

[@connorjensen9699]

@@WhateverYouSayAlex I've been having the darnedest time trying to get the thing to actually go off though

[@rozza3047]

Level up the chain sword and the pistol first and Vanguard is super fun to level up.

[@lucid1934]

The Emperor guides your path, Brother. Well done.

[@jyoung488]

Bro! I’ve been experiencing the same thing with the lack of blue indicators of an incoming strike. I think there’s still some glitches in this patch. Ive also had my camera zoom all over the area when Ive done an execution. Some weird shit happening sometimes. Love your vids and game insights man. Thanks!

[@DankJudgement]

On the Bulwark the Instigator Carbine is actually really good at dealing with Ranged Majoris like your shotgun Nids and the Snipers per burst it does pretty similar damage to the stalker bolt.

[@Whiskeyhelps38]

Is that a mod?

[@ChrisWillhelm]

Yes

[@thepunisherxxx6804]

Bulwark cant use anything except melee and pistols..

[@berserker_2886]

When I first started playing, bulwark immediately spoke to me, seemed like the kind of build I'd excel at based on the type of games, but I recently switched to vanguard as my party had one already so I tried vanguard, and I feel like it is SO much more me than the bulwark, fast, furious and fun, feels way better for me to play

[@WhateverYouSayAlex]

Yeah vanguard was my most played class till I picked up bulwark but after circling back it feels a lot better. I think it shines more in lethal then any other difficulty though.

[@rchelipilot3581]

Nice job. They made you work for that one.

[@teraisdead3091]

Love when people don't even level the weapon to max before talking bad about it.

[@WhateverYouSayAlex]

You generally don’t need to max weapons to get a good feel in this game. Purple tier is usually a good baseline when you play on the appropriate difficulty.

[@RoyHobbs-f4v]

... Vanguard is so stylish, fast... and seemingly built for quick-strike melta-engagements... but the Vanguard's "perk-tree" is so uninspiring. It's hard for me not to always pick Heavy with Plasma as the "Master Class"; especially when keeping him mobile and balancing all-phases of his kit (Melee, Secondary-Plasma and Primary-Plasma)... I feel he is best, by a comfortable-margin. And... that incredible-rating doesn't even include clever-utilization of his Iron-Halo. HVY4LYF...

[@WhateverYouSayAlex]

Yeah I think the perks need some tweaking but I think once the prestige system comes out there is a good chance we can upgrade them...if they do it like their last game World War Z...hopefully 😅

[@isaackbradleyfreegamer3168]

the vanguard can use chainsword?

[@TyronTention]

Yes.

[@MarcosMata-ys7bz]

Not gonna cap not showing a very good “best solo build” and making vanguard look ass

[@WhateverYouSayAlex]

I don’t know what cap means 😅…and what does a good vanguard look like if you don’t mind me asking?

[@Eugromlol]

honestly vanguard is mid they are ok in tyranid missions but chaos missions they suck ass. Everyone does these solo lethal runs on nid missions which is fine but its only half the game.

[@WhateverYouSayAlex]

They do really well in chaos missions I think, it’s a different playstyle for sure but I think the sustain pushes them up a few notches on lethal difficulty.

[@Sway1177]

I hate having vanguard on my team. Always goes down doesnt offer much to the team in the way of perks lowest damage most downs and deaths. EVERY time

[@DavidTector]

A good vanguard is pretty darn good. Not being a very good Vanguard really comes down to whether they can parry or not. Because having mobilty like assault with melta is nuts. Melta returns just about all contested health so they often retain health well when they do get hit. Every class at 25 is pretty darn effective especially. Assuming you are utilizing your perks effectively and parrying like a madman. Which if you can't he even has a perk to help make parrying easier.

[@a.garcha199]

A good vanguard is going to carry you, insane hoard clear, you say they don't offer the team much, but they literally have the best team perk in the game 😂

[@Mr_Big_Head]

Depends on your class. If I’m running assault or bulwark I absolutely want a vanguard on my team because I have my ability constantly

[@Stepp-Yomi]

buddy, a good vanguard always looks out for the team, with melta, they always keep the majoris occupied either from afar(snipers and bush maker warriors) or near them, and no way a good vanguard would die that easily, I'm always the last to live whenever i played vanguard on some games when we're on a pickle

[@DavidTector]

Honestly the top 3 classes in the game are definitely Tac, Bulwark and Vanguard. By a large margin. I can stay alive on lethal with those 3 classes consistently with 2 dead teamates long enough for them to comeback and still have close to full health. Heavy, Sniper and Assault for class specific reasons simply cannot. Heavy and Sniper due to ammo limitations with nothing else to help them and Assault due to having very limited burst damage coupled with little to no way of healing like Bulwark and Vanguard but also being melee dependent. You just slowly lose your health until 0 with Assault. Heavy and Snipe you run out of ammo and then run into the same issue as assault.

[@crowe6891]

lol he running cause I’m coming for his ass..haha
