Best Sniper build in Space Marine 2: Weapons, perks & how to play Focus EntertainmentSometimes you don\u2019t want to tackle Tyranids and other enemies face to face in Space Marine 2. In those cases, it\u2019s best to take them down from afar. This is where the deadly and stealthy Sniper class comes in. Sure, when you think of Space Marine, you\u2019ll likely picture the Tactical class or a beefy armored-up tank of a soldier who\u2019s wielding a Chainsword and is eager to place themselves right in the middle of a horde. However, sometimes that\u2019s just not the playstyle you\u2019re looking for, and luckily Space Marine 2 has made sure no one misses out. So, if you\u2019re looking to craft the deadliest Sniper in Space Marine 2, we\u2019ve got all the best weapons, grenades, perks, and more. Recommended build for Sniper Best weapons explained Primary weapon \u2013 Bolt Sniper Rifle The Sniper Rifle is your primary weapon, and should really be the only way you take down enemies unless you get stuck in a horde. You\u2019ll need to choose perks that\u2019ll make using the weapon easier. As such, we\u2019ve opted for Reloaded Restoration and Increased Capacity to help combat the smaller Ammo Reserve from the Bolt Sniper Rifle. The likes of Long Shot, Head Hunter, Survival Instinct, Great Might, and Chaos Eliminator are also perfect, as they\u2019ll increase the overall power of your character, which is perfect in tougher missions. Lastly, choose Reloading Immunity and Fast Regeneration for a little more survivability. When you get to a high enough level, we recommend picking up the Ophelian Liberation Beta. Its Firepower and Accuracy are well worth the investment. Secondary weapon \u2013 Bolt Pistol If you have to pull out the Bolt Pistol it\u2019s likely because you\u2019re either swarmed or have run out of ammo. In this case, you want to be picking perks that help keep you alive and killing in that position. As such, we\u2019ve chosen Great Might, Head Hunter, Elite Hunter, and Retaliation, to help you deal a little more damage when you really need it. The likes of Honed Precision will work perfectly when you\u2019re swarmed and have no time to aim. Then Gun Strike Reload will help you keep a little more ammunition in your pocket, allowing you to stop worrying about reloading and start worrying about the Chaos Marine staring you down. When you get to a high enough level, the Gathalamor Crusade Bolt Pistol is the best weapon to pick. It\u2019s deadly, easy to use, and will definitely save your life multiple times. Melee weapon \u2013 Combat Knife Similar to the Bolt Pistol, you\u2019ll likely only need the Combat Knife if things are getting dire. As such, it\u2019s important to choose perks that\u2019ll help you take down both a tough enemy and a horde when you really need it. Perpetual Strength, Tyranid Slayer, Extremis Slayer, and Kill Streak are perfect for this as they all work to increase your damage and allow for some great combos against hordes, which will likely be why you\u2019re using the weapon. We also recommend choosing Armored Strength and Shadow Stab. Armored Strength will work perfectly with your skill and allow you to perform some powerful damage to an unsuspecting enemy. If you run out of ammo, then activate your skill, ensure you have full armor, and unleash devastation on the enemy. Or, go invisible, head over to an enemy, and hold your attack button to deal tons of damage through Shadow Stab. Best grenades for Sniper \u2013 Shock grenade It\u2019s worth noting this is primarily for the 6v6 PvP mode \u2013 you can\u2019t choose your grenade in Operations. The Sniper class is all about staying back and damaging from afar, so you\u2019ll need to choose a grenade that works with that, otherwise known as the Shock grenade. This powerful tool will deal continuous damage within a wide blast area and has quite a range on it when thrown. Sure, in PvP the enemy will move a lot, but your biggest ally is your stealth, if they don\u2019t know where the damage is coming from, then it\u2019s likely they\u2019ll spend some time frozen in place. As you get to a higher Veterancy, you can always choose the Melta grenade for that extra damage, but for ease of use and early access, the Shock is your best bet. Best perks for Operations While PvP players get to pick their grenades, Operations get character perks, which power up your Space Marine. Thankfully, you can grab quite a few \u2014 and we suggest prioritizing the following ones for the Sniper class: Headshots will be your best friend as a Sniper, so it\u2019s vital you make the most out of the skill through your perks. This is why choosing Squad Renewal and Renewal are so beneficial, especially considering they work perfectly with your Camo Cloak skill. On the topic of your skill, selecting Targeted Shot is a fantastic option. It works off the back of Renewal, where you hit a headshot, recharge your Camo Cloak, then activate it and deal 75% more Damage to an enemy. Once Targeted Shot deactivates, Persistence will trigger, giving you a bit more protection. Combine this with Vantage Point and you\u2019re wiping out enemies with ease. To improve headshot accuracy, Iron Grip is an ideal perk. Then, just in case you get into a sticky situation, we\u2019ve chosen Melee Mastery and Emergency Override, to keep you alive until you can get out of the horde. How to play the Sniper Now you have the best Sniper build in Space Marine 2, you\u2019ll need to know how to play the class. After all, we don\u2019t want you running into the fray with a weapon like this. Their description reads: \u201cDeadly Shadow: A Sniper Space Marine is a master of stealth who targets their enemies with pinpoint accuracy from hidden vantages.\u201d With that in mind, you act as the deadly damage shooter from afar, staying hidden in the shadows while picking off enemies with brutal headshots. As such, staying back is key, and a good aim is even more important. As for your Skill, Camo Cloak is pivotal in every game mode. That ability to make yourself invisible is second to none and lets you get into position perfectly. Enable this, get into position, and take your time, your skill takes a while to run out, so there\u2019s no rush to get that perfect shot off. Boss fights are a little trickier, since it\u2019s a smaller space, you may struggle to avoid being a target. However, keep using that skill to line up your shots, and don\u2019t be afraid to stay back and let the other players take some hits. If all else fails, your secondary is your ideal savior. When it comes to PvP, stealth is no longer optional. Players will pick you off as quickly as they can due to your damage output, so stay out of sight, far away, and make sure you\u2019re aim is true. So, that\u2019s how to build the best Sniper in Space Marine 2. Naturally, the build can be adapted if your playstyle doesn\u2019t match this, but this is the ideal build for both missions and PvP.
