Discover the latest in gaming with our detailed guide on the best guns and weapons to use in Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2.

Best Primary Weapons

Plasma Incinerator

The Plasma Incinerator is one of the best guns in the game. Even though its firepower isn't the highest, you can charge it up to do significant damage. Its overall stats make it an ideal rifle, and since it doesn't have a magazine, you don't have to reload it.

Heavy Bolt Rifle

The Heavy Bolt Rifle is a light machine gun. Its firepower is surprisingly low for its heft, but it makes up for it in speed and range. This is ideal when fighting large hordes, which happens a lot. It also has the largest magazine size among all the weapons you can carry.

Melta Rifle

The Melta Rifle is one of the strongest weapons in the game. It has the highest firepower and can kill anything within two rounds. This weapon is essentially a shotgun flamethrower that melts anything you shoot at. However, it has horrible range and reload speed, so be mindful of that.

Best Secondary Weapons

Plasma Pistol

The Plasma Pistol is a miniature version of the Plasma Incinerator. It has the second-highest firepower among all pistols and can be charged up to inflict a lot of damage at once. This pistol pairs perfectly with the Melta Rifle for a one-two combo.

Heavy Bolt Pistol

The Heavy Bolt Pistol is a great weapon. It has the highest firepower of all secondary weapons and an incredibly high reload rate. If you find yourself surrounded, this is a perfect fallback weapon. Just be aware that it only has eight bullets per clip.

Best Melee Weapons

Power Sword

The Power Sword is perhaps one of the most enjoyable weapons in the game. It can be used for light or heavy attacks and is great for any situation. It looks like a sword, and out of all the melee weapons, it's the most well-rounded one. Except for the sides—they're very sharp.

Thunder Hammer

Nothing screams 40K like a giant hammer swinging at your enemies. The Thunder Hammer is extremely satisfying to use and packs a serious punch. It's great for clearing out hordes, but the downside is how long it takes to swing. When using this, be prepared to take a hit or two.

These are some of our favorite weapons to use while playing Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2. Be sure to experiment with all the options and find the mix that works best for you. Follow your holy calling and slay those heretics.
