Here are five tips that can help you get started on your Xenos-slaying journey in Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2.
The launch of Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 is right around the corner. The latest entry in the Warhammer series is set to feature explosive combat and more Xenos-stomping action. As you begin to make your way through the waves of Tyranids, you may benefit from a few tips.
In this article, we have listed five beginner tips that will help you elevate your Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 gameplay. You will be able to serve the Emperor with all your might and also have a much more enjoyable experience.
Beginner Tips for Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2
1) Finish the Campaign First
While Space Marine 2 features PvP elements, it is advised that you wrap up the campaign first. This will not only get you up to speed about all of the game’s mechanics but also give you an idea about the lore. This can come in handy when you are heading into the PvE Operations mode as well as the PvP Eternal War mode.
2) Learn to Dodge and Parry
As you make your way through Space Marine 2, you will encounter enemies that telegraph their attacks with a red flashing icon. While these attacks cannot be parried, you can dodge them. Meanwhile, attacks that feature a blue flashing icon can be parried.
If you are able to time it right, the parry should lead into an animation that instantly takes out a weaker enemy and staggers stronger ones. After staggering an enemy, you can then trigger a Gun Strike, signified by a red crosshair over an enemy’s head. This allows you to deal a ton of damage to an enemy and open them up for execution.
3) Use Righteous Fury to Give Yourself an Advantage in Tough Situations
Ultimate abilities are an important part of the Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 experience. During the campaign, you will be introduced to Titus’s ultimate ability, Righteous Fury. This ability allows you to boost your attack power and durability. Not only that, you can also heal yourself with every melee attack hit. Ultimate abilities can also impact your gameplay in Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 multiplayer.
4) Utilize Executions to Heal Armor
Your armor gives you added protection so you can minimize health damage. To keep your armor up to snuff, you need to perform executions. When an enemy has taken significant damage, they will begin to flash red. This means they are open for an execution. Approaching them and performing the execution can not only heal your armor partially but also eliminate weaker enemies nearby.
5) Customize Loadouts
As Ultramarine Titus, you will be presented with a variety of weapons and loadouts. They serve different purposes and can be used in specific situations to gain an advantage. Be sure to switch up your loadout in between missions or even during missions if you come across weapon pods.
We hope the above tips will help you stomp out the Tyranids when Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 launches on September 9.
