Every Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Class, Ranked Worst To Best

The full release of is finally here, letting even more battle brothers join the fight to save humanity in the grim darkness of the far future. Paired with fellow Ultramarines on a quest to fend off an alien invasion force, players will have six different classes to choose from when fighting back against the hordes of Tyranids and other alien threats. Whether choosing a defensive bastion to protect their teammates or a lone wolf sniper class to pick off threats, each class has its own limits that can be the difference between death and victory.

After getting hands-on with the game and learning what classes they like most, many players will start to tackle the more challenging operations has to offer. When faced with the toughest challenges the Xenos threat can throw at them, players will need to be equipped with as much firepower and utility as they can to survive. While every class has its strengths and weaknesses, players struggling with the greater threat of difficult missions can gain an advantage by knowing which classes stand above the rest.

The Vanguard class attempts to bridge the gap between melee and ranged abilities but ends up falling a bit behind the curve overall. With its Grapnel Launcher, the Vanguard can quickly get into close-range combat but lacks any real options to get back out of a dangerous situation. While skilled players can better maneuver through hordes of enemies to focus on elites,their lack of survivability and low armor class will find most players frequently waiting to be revived in high difficulties.

The weapons are one of the stronger points of the Vanguard class, having two unique and powerful Bolt Carbines that make for good mid-ranged combat on top of an armor-shredding Melta Rifle. Players will make good use of their Combat Knife or Chainsword after grappling into enemy hordes, being good for keeping up damage while still quickly weaving through enemies.
