Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 can be quite daunting for newcomers, especially with the number of Classes (and further customization within these Classes) that is made available. A total of 6 Classes are available to choose from in Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2, each built around a particular playstyle and thus very different from the other.
The best beginner Classes will as such, take into account overall ease of use, survivability, and DPS – which should result in a smoother experience overall.
The best beginner Classes in Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2
1) Vanguard Class
The Vanguard Class sacrifices a bit of its durability for speed, which mostly works out well in its favor. This particular class in Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 can use up to three primary weapons, as well as two separate melee weapons – further augmenting its capabilities.
The Vanguard also possesses robust protection (with 2 bars of Armor) and a grappling hook which can help even the odds during combat.
2) Heavy Class
As the name implies, the Heavy Class is built like a tank, capable of taking massive amounts of damage and dealing a lot more punishment in return.
Heavy units focus a lot more on close-quarters combat, which is reflected in their use of the Class-specific ‘Multi-Meta Rifle’. Interestingly, they cannot equip melee weapons, opting to use other methods instead.
While the Class does lack mobility, it is quite resilient in nature – which more than makes up for its weaknesses.
3) Tactical Class
The Tactical Class can make use of both melee and ranged attacks, and is rather well-rounded in its stats and progression. It also comes equipped with additional weaponry, such as a Chainsword and secondary firearms.
This Class is also extremely durable, possessing 3 whole bars of Armor as well as the ability to debuff enemies when using the Auspex Scan. Debuffed enemies take more damage.
Overall, thanks to a combination of both its damage negation and damage boost perks, the Tactical Class remains the ideal Class for a beginner in Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 – although the other two Classes don’t fall too far behind either.
