Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 comes with 6 different starting classes (and a promise of more to come); with each class having a variety of weapons to choose from. These weapons are classified as Primary, Secondary or Melee weapons, or Grenades. In this guide, we have put up all the details for weapons in Space Marine 2; including which classes can use a particular weapon: Not all weapons are available for all classes. However, the developers have ensured that there is a sufficient spread of weapon choice for each class. So lets get started!
All Primary Weapons In Space Marine 2
The Primary Weapons in Space Marine 2 have a good variety of options to decide based on range, accuracy, stopping power, rate of fire, and ammo capacity. The Tactical class comes with the maximum variety of options to choose from in this weapon category; while Assault, which is a melee-focused class and Bulwark, which wields a shield cannot (need not!) equip a Primary Weapon. We have put two table for the Primary Weapons in Space Marine 2; the first one showing the classes that can equip each weapon, and the second comparing key stats for each of the 14 Primary Weapons.
- The Heavy Bolter / Plasma Incinerator /Multi-Melta are best suited for the Heavy class to deal major long range damage.
- The Bolt Sniper / Las Fusil goes well with the Sniper class – as both of them come with high accuracy but low reload speeds.
- The Melta Rifle is the shotgun equivalent with high damage potential at low distances – but with less ammo capacity and higher reload times.

All Melee Weapons In Space Marine 2
While you may think that relying on guns will be a large part of the Space Marine 2 experience, there will be a surprisingly lot of occasions that will require you to take out your trusted melee weapon as you get swarmed. There are also melee-based classes like Vanguard & Assault that rely largely on getting close and personal with the enemies and dishing out massive damage.
- The Chainsword & Powersword work well in taking out groups of enemies and are fairly well-balanced on speed and power.
- The Power Fist is a good option to stun enemies and that makes up for the lesser range that it has.
- The Combat Knife is a superb option to do quick attacks and works well in sync with the Grapnel Launcher ability of the Vanguard.
- The Thunder Hammer is the slowest, but most hard-hitting melee weapon that can be used to execute powerful ground slams.
