Space Marine 2’s PVE mode has 6 distinct classes of Astartes. The Tactical marine, Assault, Vanguard, Bulwark, Sniper and Heavy.
But which class is right for you? In this guide, we break down every class in Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 so you can choose the one that’s right for you.
Do you want to be the jack of all trades Tactical, equipped with a Boltgun and Chainsword?
The armoured Bulwark that carries a Storm Shield and Chapter Banner into battle?
Or the deadly Assault Marine, diving into hordes of Tyranids and waves of Thousand Sons with Thunder Hammer in hand?
For a more general guide we also have a separate tips video, full of hints to help you be the best Space Marine you can be.

There is a class system in a pve game? NICE!.
Gonna do Bullwark just for the hooded helmet. Rule of cool and all that
Imo the heavy/devastator is kinda op
I need some more Assault in my life
Vanguard all day, RKO out of nowhere!
Idk about you guys but the drop kick always make me smile alittle
Id like a class that utilizes traps/mines or turrets of some sort. Similar to the Engineer in Deep Rock
Looks nice, sad that there is no support role class like a medic. As acompletley new guy, from my perspective it also doesnt look like there is a medic class haha
Anyone who's played the first game is probably gonna feel right at home with Tac, Assault and Heavy.
Wh40 sm2 also known as hulkbuster meets Kratos
Where are the terminators??
all i heard was shield for Bulwark class and i am sold. im willing to bet they might be the weakest of the group but I HAVE A SHIELD
Heavy, Bulwark, Assault!!!!
The flesh is weak heavy stand for ferrus
I know it’s not needed yet but medic couldn’t been cool
Definitely gonna run bulwark and try to get as close to a grey knight look as I can
Assault, bulwark and heavy for the win!
Huge mistake on the thumbnail
FOR THE EMPEROR!
HEAVY, I NEED THE DAKKA
"Which class is right for you." It's simple, really, "they are the BULWARK against the terror. They are my space marines, and they shall know no fear." – some vegetable.
I'm thinking the meta, assuming that the classes are balanced will be bulwark+assault+vanguard or tactical+sniper+heavy. one wave clear, one support and one single target assassin. At the start at least. either everyone clears from range or everyone jumps in. As we learn more about the game and balance changes, I think it will change but for the start, I'm guessing those will be the combos, at least for pre-made squads like mine.
I feel the bulwark could use something like gaining armor with melee kills/finishers or maybe shorter CD before armor starts their regen, or even just passive regen throughout combat
Little secret : SHIELD ARE WEAPONS !
Disapointing there no Apothecary marine and no Techmarines tho :/ amongst others too !!
It’s going to be half Assault and Bulwark for me as my mains, best of pure offense and defense
So far I like bulwark, heavy, and gonna try vanguard
Where do you even choose your class? Do you have to progress through the campaign first? Brand new to this game btw lol
Not having a power axe option for the assault marine should be criminal
This is. "Nah fam fight" "but" "no buts !" "Fight!"
Anybody else having trouble with the co op missions? It takes ages to find other players, logs me out half the time when it eventually does, just finished a mission and it has been "joining server" for 10 mins now. It has crashed. Again. 30 mins in a pretty monotonous mission for zero rewards. All in all i'm let down, thought the game was going to be a lot better and more in depth than it is, and funcional for that matter. Loved the campaign but it was far too short.
Assault 2 tap is crazy
I need this game
Vanguard’s grapple ability is unblockable , even against a Bulwark 😉
I Never really Cared about warhammer 40K but this game tempted me enough to buy it
i didn’t like tactical until i melted the hive tyrant
