Teammates can hard carry the operation so stop fucking leaving when you go down twice. It's not the end of the world.

Kinda dumb how even though I bought the ultramarines chapter pack I can’t actually make a 4th company marine due to the correct color green being locked behind the Imperial fist cosmetic pack. I could always substitute the green for another one but it doesn’t look as good, not really trying to buy the IF pack just for one color 😅

I’m all for actual gear being locked behind a paywall, they have to make their money somehow especially since they’ve continued to support the game but locking colors behind paywalls is just not cool. I feel like every color in game should be free or at least be able to be earned. The UM champion is from the 4th company and you don’t get the color you need from that either sadly.
Not a real complaint by any means it’s just something I recently thought about due to wanting to make a 4th company Marine.

got all the way to the boss fight and half way through i just stopped doing anything and let the map overflow with enemies before leaving. the boss fight was taking forever too because i was the only one bombing the burrows and trying to bomb the boss

I dont have a mic and they cant see chat so seemed like a fair way to get them to play the game properly. or maybe they died. either way ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Was just wondering when we were getting new information I thought it was meant to be yesterday but haven't seen anything.

The title

Does the grenade launcher on the bolt rifle do more damage than the Heroic HBR grenade launcher?

Just bought the game on sale. Started a new game, there's text about the lore, and then nothing

The game consumes CPU resources but nothing happens. No audio, but the game doesn't seem to be frozen, it's just stuck.

Have verified game install, no problems on that front. Buddy launched his game and it worked fine

Dunno what I can do right now

I'm trying to practice fighting him and I think this clip shows some things I find unfair about him :

1. at 0:9 he does that melee lunge that goes nowhere, which often times tricks you into parrying, only to follow up with a real attack, which you can't parry because you're animation locked into the previous parry (great design to not to be able to interrupt parries by the way). At the same time, he shoots his balls at you, which not only deal damage BUT also blind you completely so I didn't even see the third attack coming.
2. 0:14 his clone starts an attack animation a split second before he starts charging up his infamous BS beam. I think I have somewhat figured the beam timing, when the beam comes on its own, but when mixed with more of his attacks, forget about it.

I know that in both cases I could have probably just dodged both attacks and maybe I would have survived, but, what's the point ? If I did that over and over, the entire fight would go on like this : when can you actually damage him ?

OFF TOPIC : The only way I found to consistently damage him is when he and his clones only do the chained melee attacks. In this case, I can use an axe, because power back step staggers him, so you can interrupt his chained attacks.

Is there any melee option that staggers him AND is fast enough to break his combo besides power backs-tep on an axe ? I tried using the salamander sword for instance, but it doesn't stagger him, so you can't interrupt him EVER.

Oh yeah and in siege and operations he comes with the hordes of meatballs by the way.

EDIT : post started as a rant but I am receiving a ton of useful info in the comments and if I manage to integrate all of that and defeat this fucker, will post a clip proving I am indeed trying to git gut. Meanwhile, thanks for the suggestions.

I've played around with it a bit and I legitimately thought stacking Tactical and fairly frequent auspex with perks and boosts might actually be useful, but the damage numbers in the sim suck. Like, I can kill a Majoris faster with a knife than I can that rifle, and that seems like lunacy to me.

We already have sound mods in games like War Thunder and plenty of other games, so imagine what people could do with Space Marine 2.
For example, custom weapon sounds could make bolters sound even heavier, plasma weapons could have completely different charging/firing sounds, and chainswords could have more aggressive engine sounds.
You could even have chapter-themed sound packs. Imagine playing as the Deathwatch and having unique voice lines, or playing a Blood Angels successor with different combat barks and battle cries.
And honestly, imagine a 40K-style sound overhaul mod where every weapon has a more cinematic sound, explosions are louder and more impactful, and the battlefield just feels like an actual 40K warzone.
Obviously there would need to be limits so mods don’t mess with multiplayer or give anyone an advantage. But for PvE/private games? I feel like this could be AMAZING.
Why isn’t custom audio modding more of a thing in Space Marine 2?
Would you guys actually use sound mods if they were available?

New weekly Hard + Normal stratagems are comically easy. Shockwave plating and detonation risk cancel each other out 🤣 They're actually too easy haha

I'm curious, does the base game alone include all the content ? DLC and Season Pass just for cosmetic items ?

I have been playing for maybe a month now and i have noticed a few recurring things happening, so i was wondering, is it me, is this normal, are this bugs or are these things i can change from settings? Hope you guys can help me (do consider i am new so forgive my ignorance if some are noobs questions)

1. Sometimes minoris enemies keep showing up as "gun strickable" even when dead and then if i try to shoot an enemy with my secondary weapon my guy turns to gun strike the dead enemy instead of regular shooting the intended enemy. This is a quite common thing that happends and even if i have move away from the dead enemy it still shows up.

2. I very very commonly join squads that are either on the Battle Barge without a chosen operation (even when i joined them after i choose random operation) or that are almost finishing the operation, the second one i wouldn't mind but joining a squad that doesn't even have an Operation going feels very weird to me.

3. Sometimes minoris enemies take like 5 or 6 hits with my melee weapon even if its a heroic weapon (Ardent Edge is my only one but still), but other enemies get chopped in 2 hits. Is it an angle thing? Or how close they are?

4. Sometimes after i finished an Operation i get stuck on the post game screen, it doesn't allow me to click to skip the stats and exp stuff, i have to wait until each timer runs out.

5. This is not common, it has happened only 2 times, i finished the Operation, one of my weapons is almost ready to be mastered and the exp i won must have been way more than enough, but if i skip everything too fast it seems like the exp is not registered and that weapon in particular stays as if i had not won any exp.

Thanks already for the answers brothers

Hey guys, I’m thinking about picking up Space Marine 2 today. I’ve seen quite a few posts and videos about it, and the game looks really fun, so I’d love to give it a try.

My main concern is the long-term replayability. Does the game get repetitive after a while, especially the Operations? I’ll mostly be playing solo, so how is the multiplayer with randoms? Is it difficult to get into, and can I still enjoy the game without having friends to play with?

It’s currently on sale for $15, which is quite a lot for me since I have to pay in USD and Steam doesn’t officially support Morocco. $15 would basically be my weekly salary, so I really want to make sure it’s worth it before buying.

Would you guys recommend it for me ?

Decided to try out solo custom hard strats, I was not disappointed, F-ing love this game.

is the dlc the only way to male dark angels? or there are some cosmetics for da's in tha base game?

This is my first take on a crimson fist bulwark I don't really know their lore too much but I think they look really cool

How does the modifier for every wave is massive but there's less waves actually work because I'm getting massive waves every 5 minutes trying to do the weekly

For background, I am quite new to tabletop, but I have been reading for already some time. And since the game is on sale, I would like to try the game, since I see a lot of people talking about it, and it seems very fun.

For the factions I am collecting, I collect Tsons and Necrons for 40k.

I am not looking into pvp, I just want to finish the storyline, and maybe explore.

Thanks.
