Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 - Best Class Tier List

Heavy does exactly what the name suggests – it deals some heavy and devastating damage! That's why it gets the highest place on our Best Class Tier List. This class doesn't get a melee weapon, but they're still melting down the enemies. To make up for this challenge, the heavy class gets a powerful shield as their ultimate – Iron Halo, stopping all incoming ranged damage.

The tactical class is a great all-rounder choice for all sorts of playstyles in Warhammer 40k. It's a perfect pick whether you like close-range, medium-range, or long-range combat. The best thing about it is that it offers more primary weapon options than any other class in Space Marine 2, giving you quite a lot of versatility. You'll have the best armor for every sticky situation. The Tactical Class also comes with 3 bars of armor, making them quite sustainable during all operations. In addition, your Ultimate reveals all enemies, which is always helpful.

As the name suggests, this class relies on a sniper rifle and long-range combat. However, this means you'll get to take only one enemy down at a time, but you can definitely rely on your team to destroy bigger swarms while you deal huge damage from far away. Your ult, which makes you invisible, will also help you a lot with this issue. All of this wins Sniper an A-Tier placement in the list of the best Space Marine 2 classes.

Vanguard seems a little one-dimensional but not in the OP way Sniper does. This class offers some decent damage, but it's nothing a sniper can't replace. He's also a squishier version of Tactical, with some great perks to make up for this. The huge perk of this class is your ult, which allows you to grapple an enemy and jump towards them, stopping whatever you do. You can definitely interrupt foes who are calling for reinforcements with this.

The Bulwarks are Space Marine 2's tanky class choice. You don't get a primary weapon, which means you'll have to rely on melee and 3 bars of armor during the epic Warhammer 40k combat. The best thing about this class is the team utility it offers, such as the ult which restores the armor of everyone on your side. Paired with some perks, you can help your team in a lot of sticky situations.

In our article discussing how to gain XP fast, we suggested you use an assault class character to speed through operations solo. Similar to the Bulwark, this class doesn't have a primary weapon, but it's great with melee and ranged armor. Your ult is a gap closer, which can be useful in various scenarios. Relying on heavy melee attacks means you don't have to worry about ammo! However, this means you'll have to soak up a lot of damage
