1 week ago 33

Here are the weapons you should look into upgrading first in Space Marine 2.

Weapon selection is dependent upon Class choice in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. This in turn determines your combat role, especially in Operations. Here are the best weapons to upgrade first in Space Marine 2.

Plasma Incinerator

Primary Weapon
Tactical Class Exclusive
Rapid-fire, mid-range plasma weapons. Can be charged.
A good weapon for all kinds of combat scenarios with its charged shots and area-of-effect damage, this firearm also spreads out its stats in a balanced fashion, and has a 130 round magazine.

Melta Rifle

Primary Weapon
Tactical and Vanguard Classes
Close-range thermal weapon.
Shotgun style firearm for room clearing and crowd control. Relatively small magazine, and only three full reloads in reserve. Best for PVP over PVE.

Heavy Bolt Pistol

Secondary Weapon
Assault Class Exclusive
High-powered, semi-automatic, mid-range pistol.
The better of the two sidearms, with a smaller magazine and reserves, but better stats overall.

Thunder Hammer

Melee Weapon
Assault Class Exclusive
Slow Melee Weapon that deals powerful area-of-effect Damage.
An Assault Class exclusive for a reason, this should be your go-to for melee combat. Makes up for the slow attack speed with sheer brute force power.

Occulus Bolt Carbine

Primary Weapon
Vanguard Class Exclusive
Rapid-fire, mid-range carbine with extended magazine.
Large magazine, and seven full reloads in reserve for fast kills at close range.

Plasma Pistol

Secondary Weapon
Bulwark and Heavy Class
Rapid-fire, mid-range plasma pistol. Can be charged.
A mini version of the Plasma Incinerator with the same charge attack, and area-of-effect damage potential.

Power Sword

Melee Weapon
Bulwark Class Exclusive
Versatile Melee Weapon.
A shield-bearer requires a sword, and the class-exclusive Power Sword is the best there is, with balanced Defence, Strength, and Speed stats.

Las Fusil

Primary Weapon
Sniper Class Exclusive
Scoped, single-fire energy rifle.
Large magazine capacity and massive damage potential make this the go-to long-distance firearm for snipers.

Multi-Melta

Primary Weapon
Heavy Class Exclusive
Close-range, high-powered thermal weapon.
Effectively a double-barreled shotgun, the 20-round magazine makes it a more effective tool for crowd control than the standard Melta Rifle in PVE.

Those are the best weapons to upgrade first in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
