Every Class In Space Marine 2, Explained

These classes are nearly identical in how they play between Operations and Eternal War, letting players master a playstyle to dominate against the foes of the Imperium or other players.

Class Name	Overview
Tactical	Armor Class - 3 Ability - Auspex Scan: Reveals enemies near the scanned location and makes them more vulnerable to incoming damage. Favors a rounded gameplay mixing ranged attacks from rifles and melee attacks with a secondary pistol in your offhand.
Assault	Armor Class - 3 Ability - Jump Pack: Enhanced dashing and jumps, making them faster and giving brief flight. No primary weapon, favoring jumping into combat with some of the harder-hitting melee weapons and a sidearm if needed.
Vanguard	Armor Class - 2 Ability - Grapnel Launcher: Latch onto the environment or enemy and be pulled to that location, resulting in a kick if hitting an enemy. Well-rounded like the Tactical class, but has more far-ranging primary options and the grapnel hook to get in or out of melee fast.
Bulwark	Armor Class - 3 Ability - Chapter Banner: Restore armor to all nearby squad members for a brief period. A tanky class that has a damage-resistant shield, favoring up-close combat with a powerful melee weapon.
Sniper	Armor Class - 2 Ability - Camo Cloak: Conceals you until your next attack. Favors fighting from a distance with a sniper, taking out enemies without being seen.
Heavy	Armor Class - 3 Ability - Iron Halo: Creates a barrier that blocks all incoming ranged damage from the front and sides. The only class that uses heavy two-handed weapons to deal lots of damage by trading mobility also does not come with a designated melee weapon.

Which Class In Space Marine 2 Is Right For You

For those just starting out, the Tactical or Vanguard classes are great for learning the ropes and trying out bits of each play style before landing on what you like best. The Bulwark and Assault are good for more melee-focused players, while the Sniper and Heavy focus on dealing damage from far away. Picking a class with Armor Class three is also helpful for new players, as it adds more room for error when learning how combat works.
