Each of the Space Marine 2<\/strong><\/u><\/a> classes<\/strong> offers its own particular playstyle with both strengths and drawbacks that it brings to bear on the battlefield. As ever, though, the best class is whichever you find the most fun. With the variable difficulty of both the campaign and the Operations co-op mode\u2014and whether you decide to play PvP or not\u2014you'll likely find yourself favouring multiple rather than sticking to just one.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a brief summary of what each class does well in PvE, you can refer to the list below. I've also included what I think is objectively the best PvE class\u2014despite the fact I absolutely adore the Heavy\u2014in case you're wondering which feels the smoothest to play. If in doubt, you can always play the Tactical class until you get a feel for whether you prefer melee or ranged.<\/p>\n

The best class in Space Marine 2 is the Vanguard<\/strong> in my opinion. In Operations co-op, many of the other classes struggle to deal with ranged enemies most of all, but the Vanguard's two-charge Grapnel Launcher is perfect for closing the distance to ranged enemies and quickly moving in for auto-executions to replenish armour when needed. The Vanguard gets the combat knife\u2014the fastest melee weapon in the game\u2014as well as the instigator bolt carbine, which is one of the best scoped weapons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Honestly, just a very strong melee class in a game where melee is vital for replenishing armour. The Assault marine is also very good with two Jump Pack charges and the excellent thunder hammer, but lacks the versatility of a primary weapon.<\/p>\n
