Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is now out for those who pre-ordered any edition of the game. The game is set in the backdrop of the fourth Tyranid War and players are excited to see how the story of Titus will continue this time.
There are several exciting elements and gameplay mechanics in the game that players may find complex at times. These seven Space Marine 2 tips and tricks will help players get themselves ready for what’s about to the come.
7. Look for Heavy Weapons and Items in Hidden Areas
Space Marine 2 has linear missions but there are many hidden areas that may give players some valuable items and weapons. Try to find these areas and the weapons and items found could come in handy in the long run.
There are also collectibles that players can find in these hidden areas such as dataslate collectibles, heavy weapons like Heavy Bolters, Multi-Meltas, and Medicae Stimms among several other things.
6. Drop Pods Have Clues
There are several types of enemies in Space Marine 2 and the enemy variety changes constantly. While most main weapons can do the job in taking enemies down, it is difficult to have the perfect weapon that fits the situation.
There are pods around new areas that players are about to enter. Players must take the weapons in these pods as they often hint at what’s coming next. For example, a pod with long-ranged weapon means there may be a sniper war.
5. Perform Executions To Get Your Armor Back
There may be multiple times during a fight when an enemy starts flashing red. This is your sign to perform an execution as it will give some armor for extra protection and if executions are chained, the armor is regenerated.
This also gives players a small time frame where they are invincible and take no damage, avoiding heavy and dangerous attacks. It is the perfect time to pounce on an enemy and clear them out of your way.
4. Fight Aggressively to Regenerate Health
The primary method of healing in Space Marine 2 is the Medicae Stimms and upon using restores some of the players’ health, saving them from going down. These are also hard to find so players need to use them wisely.
But the health bar can be easily regenerated if players start fighting aggressively by counter-attacking enemies. These will help players when they are surrounded by enemies, low on health, and do not have Medicae Stimms.
3. Parry Whenever You Can
Whenever there is an enemy around or coming your way in Space Marine 2, you will hear a sound or there will be a blue indicator. This is your cue to Parry and you will immediately take down or push them away from you.
When you parry, you can also kill lower-level enemies and knock down any other nearby enemies. A successful parry can also stagger heavy enemies, which leaves them vulnerable and it is easy to take them down.
2. Break Imperium Crates
There are green wooden boxes called Imperium crates lying around as you go through the levels. These look like they are a part of the environment and can be easily missed.
Make sure that you break these crates as they have important resources and supplies like medical kits, small ammo packs, armor boosts, and more. Moreover, you can just roll into them to break them open.
1. Melee Weapon Attack Combos
Space Marine comes packed with five melee weapons that are very useful in taking out Tyranids in close-quarter fights. These weapons work differently and have their combat system other than the central gameplay.
It is recommended that you learn the melee weapon attack combos as you will be able to make the most of the weapon and these attacks are more powerful. Try out the attack combos and see which do the most damage and stick with it.
