Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 - Which Class Is Right For You

[@SuperEagle112]

I almost feel like I’m living in a dream. The first game was so good and with the company going out of business, it was heartbreaking. To wait 12 years to finally see the triumph that we have our hands on. I have no doubt that we are going to get expansions to this game and inevitably a third chapter. I’m so happy to know that we let the gaming industry know, what we want and what we are willing to pay for it.

[@andrewmills2679]

Space marine players! Always use your gun strike! If you see the symbol use it, as they don’t cost ammo and can even work when out of ammunition!

I've never played Warhammer 40k Space Marine games or any Warhammer 40k games, but i'm surprisilly interested about this Space Marine 2 what looks so freaking AWESOME game and Heavy is a perfect Class for me because it's design is the BEST in my opinion it's on the game's covers picture and it's armor looks the strongest too so I will choose Heavy: For the Emperor!

[@marcusrobinson-johnson]

Same. I know nothing about Warhammer but I'll never forget seeing the first teaser for this game at the game awards 3 or so years back. I've been hyped ever since.

[@Enonymous99]

It’s going to be half Assault and Bulwark for me as my mains, best of pure offense and defense

[@pgarande23]

We need a librarian class

[@CptRonSolo]

That would be so sick. I imagine it would be like a bulwark but with no shield and their class ability would be like a chain lightning or somethin

[@alek7998]

Techmarine and Apothecary would be cool too.

[@CMTechnica]

We do not. If anything, a dedicated medic class

[@HermannTheGreat]

They're probably prepping their season pass and DLC as you typed. I'm sure they're in there.

[@XMysticHerox]

Probably coming judging from the fact we don't have 1k sons in PvP despite them being the main enemy in campaign. Bet it's reserved for the librarian.

[@deltor5849]

I feel the bulwark could use something like gaining armor with melee kills/finishers or maybe shorter CD before armor starts their regen, or even just passive regen throughout combat

[@allibababoo]

WH40k used to be like a LIFE COMMITMENT level of money/time consuming hobbies. The upside is I think there's possibly more lore than most "medium" (or under) level nerds can handle, so the gate remains kept.

[@GameFuMaster]

assault's jetpack CD is way too high for someone without a primary

[@Normandy42]

Its last perk grants you immediate refresh after a perfect dodge with the jet pack. So with enough playtime and skill, you can basically always have a charge if it’s slotted in.

[@hooktraining3966]

@@Normandy42 also 10% cooldown for each enemy killed with the ground pound. This means that if you jump and slam down in a horde you will likely get your charge back

[@CMTechnica]

Very much enjoyed the 20 hours I’ve spent on it so far

[@miggyalejandro]

I'm thinking the meta, assuming that the classes are balanced will be bulwark+assault+vanguard or tactical+sniper+heavy. one wave clear, one support and one single target assassin. At the start at least. either everyone clears from range or everyone jumps in. As we learn more about the game and balance changes, I think it will change but for the start, I'm guessing those will be the combos, at least for pre-made squads like mine.

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I've never seen a Warhammer game but I'm getting this game because it reminds me of Helldivers and all the class and perk stuff sounds really fun!❤

[@cryoanubis]

Definitely gonna run bulwark and try to get as close to a grey knight look as I can

[@SIl3nZz]

Looks nice, sad that there is no support role class like a medic. As acompletley new guy, from my perspective it also doesnt look like there is a medic class haha

[@Arkhestra]

bulwark throws a banner down and it heals armor for allies, it’s many times turned a fight we should have won into getting none of them and us wiping

[@harrisonb9911]

Bulwark=medic

[@HootanAkhtari]

I love how many times he said in the “thick of it” for vanguard

[@R3STRIKT3D]

Video is 13:37 long. Noice!

[@itsdad7455]

I started as a heavy but tactical seems a better fit

[@rickkcir2151]

I do think the melee classes should be buffed a bit. They just have no real answer for enemies that fly or are outside of range. Maybe more ammo for the sidearm and another meter of armor. I also think the max ammo for the Heavy’s melta and plasma gun should be increased. Especially since they don’t really have a melee option.

[@Normandy42]

Flying enemies are where the krak grenades come in handy. As for range, I’ve often found that if you can’t reach them because they’re outside the map, there’s a handy environmental explosive nearby that’ll take care of them. Also, operations are co op and not solo. Your teammates are meant to fill the niches that you yourself can’t.

[@connorsmith2059]

that blood angel at the start looks INSANE

[@thealgerian3285]

The answer was actually "all of them". Might be the very first time I like every class in a game.

[@jeffersongomez6889]

I’d start with the tactical. Very informative video.

[@arkman117]

Which class is right for you, the one that doesn’t result in you sitting there in a non verbal argument with another player over who gets to play what class, class conflict is going to ruin this multiplayer.

[@illLucifer]

Where do you even choose your class? Do you have to progress through the campaign first? Brand new to this game btw lol

[@Noah_A76]

I really feel like the heavy and bulwark should've had switched abilities, but i love them both.

[@BlackMethos]

Anyone who's played the first game is probably gonna feel right at home with Tac, Assault and Heavy.

[@MillerTheOriginal]

Definitely going to pick this gem up, my question is though, is there a progression system wither overall or for each class? Not just "I'll play 5 hours with this class to max level, and then on to the next"

[@bostonarchie3194]

Each class has it's own levelling progression

[@GROOT0404]

Each class levels on it's own but weapons level for all the classes that have it. For example a Chain Sword will have everything you unlocked on all classes not just the one you unlocked it for

[@CMTechnica]

Classes have their own level. Same with weapons, but the classes share them so the leveling experience will be easier if your second+ classes share the same weapons as your first.

[@hooktraining3966]

lol it will take a LOT more than 5 hours for each class. Up to an hour just to find a lobby and that is IF you maintain connection to the game servers.

[@MillerTheOriginal]

[@JUSTICENEON]

I'd like a Class where you utilize Heavy Flamethrower,Molotov just Set things on Fire 🔥. Also Make it to where you stun Locking All enemies. Without the need to finish enemies to replenish armor Etc that is annoying. Plus replenish Ammo an health threw Kills an get damage boost as well. Give it a range boost.

[@cjpfoxtech09]

Assault, bulwark and heavy for the win!

[@DanteVanhauzer]

Also shout out to vanguard lv25 perk which regen hp on majoris execution. This perk literally makes you an undying god even surrounded by mobs, you literally can't die as long as there's a majoris watiing to be executed

[@johntucker23]

Please please please Devs, add subclasses!!! By the will of the Emperor!! ADD SUBCLASSES!! Maybe when you reach max level you can then pick a sublass to level, Tactical leads to Deathguard, Grey Hunter and Stern Guard. Heavy would probably have to lead to Terminator i think anything else would be too big. Assault would be Maybe Sky Claws, Deathguard and maybe veterans. The possibilities for subclasses in 40k are endless please make use of all that variety and lore available. Each subclass would be new advantages but also disadvantages, blood claws for example would be good in cc but you have to keep attacking for buffs etc. theres so much they can do!

[@relaxtitan]

I like to use bulwark, assault and heavy but i like it more if i can see invisible enemy and my ally beside their name

It doesnt have all classes we would want. Because all i want is someone thats tanky with a heal, but also has all weapon slots open, i mean in general, a healer is not in here.. bulwark heals armor. But i want a healing class.. actuall health healing. With smgs pistol, and knife
