Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Heavy Class
The Heavy class is a very slow, but tanky option as your role consists of dealing with large swarms of enemies whilst also soaking ranged damage. Your Iron Halo ability allows you to create a temporary barrier that blocks incoming ranged attacks for you and your team so you are a master at zone control.
- Iron Halo Effect: When Iron Halo is active, all Squad Members within 50 metres take 10% less Damage from Ranged Attacks.
Heavy Marines have low mobility in comparison to other classes, but they make up for it with the incredible damage they can unload onto smaller enemies.
