Calling all tactical mains: perk questions.

What are the perks that you feel are invaluable at all times? Im prestige 4 and feel like I striggle deciding between some of them.

Honestly for me mostly run the top row all the way across, 10% more damage on gunstrikes and stuff after a perfect parry or dodge: super good because im a parry/gunstrike whore since even though im on tactical im still mostly going hard with the melee haha. I like the equipment charge every 60 seconds: lifetime supply of melta bombs or krak grenades is sick. The auspex scan on parry is amazing, it feel like it especially pairs well with the one that blows up enemies who try to call for reinforcements.

Im not looking at the tree right now but I basically run the top row with like the first one I use the bottom point. And I think the next box over I run the bottom of the fiest column as well.

I was curious with the one that shortens the scan by 4 seconds, if you run the one that lengthens it 4 seconds do they just cancel out? And is that worth it? Just something ive been meaning to ask.

Let me know your must have perks on tactical, and what kind of funny combinations you can do for maybe certain builds or playstyles.

Thank you!

You ever get desperate enough for xp to run lethal with bots at level 10? 😅

I ran lethal level 10 (prestige 3 tbf so I had some prestige perks). I was HUNGRY for that big amount of xp/wanted to see if I could do it. Ive only ran lethal with bots one other time and It was on bulwark.

I know its nothing crazy impressive, but its a personal win and I felt like such a badass 😎. I fought for my LIFE as you can see with the 6 downs lol. It didnt give me a guardian relic till that last section before the elevator that goes up and out, then I got lucky and found one at the end of that upper stretch before dropping down into madness. With some strategic stim uses to clear mortal wounds I managed to pull it through.

I did it to challenge myself, and because I didnt want to be that guy that everyone complains about who was running lethal at level 10 haha.

Does anyone know what this random number means?

The number 7 in the top right box vs in this case the 0 for the bots. What do those numbers mean?

Someone help me, im trying to keep his identity as a black templar but also while putting ok all this cool tactical drip

Should I do the one pauldron with the emblem and do white and just call it some super decorated badass emperors champion? 😂 or do i say fuck the emblem and just personally know in my heart hes a black templar? Also any of you people who know lore better, is there any case in which a space marine of any chapter really would actually rock two pauldrons that both dont leave room for or cover up a chapter emblem? It seems like a no no but the devs of this game seem to be pretty lore concious and still gave a couple classes pauldrons like this on both sides.

Guys wtf 😂 idk whether to mark this as a bug or not tbh

So this run i just had was like damn near ONLY spawning spore mines. In fact, now that I think about it, any time the match itself spawned anything from wave timers or reinforcements that was non extremis obvi, it was 100% SPORE MINES. This is just one little 30 second snippet of literally a "massive wave" that was 100% all spore mines. Even on the hive tyrant fight, I almost got fucked by 100 spore mines while he phase transitioned and I was trying to dodge the Shockwave from hive tyrant and 14 spore mines blowing up next to me back to back 😂. I pulled through, I managed to get the gene seed to the end and all (it was only on average, I just needed one more super quick win before bed to unlock a cool helmet haha).

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this potentially a random bug that occurred? Or just suuuuper bad luck?

One ending down!

I loved this game. Walking into that final area, the music, the sick ass crazy looking arena to fight the final boss in, it was nuts. I did the "good" ending where you live out the illusion that you brought your sister back lol.

Overall the boss i took longest on was commander honglan, and demon of obsession, they both took me about the same amount of time. The rest of the bosses weren't too crazy hard but they were intense and super fun for sure! I went longsword/spear. Lashing whip and either steampowered or cloud piercer.

Amazing game, I will 100% be getting platinum on it, not with save scamming but multiple playthroughs.

Bug or Intended Interaction?

UPDATE: Nevermind... the guide is was following is from release.... now big characters dont die lol you just beat them, so he left a note I found after reading some comments from the video.

Hey I just fought the dude at the waterfall by the docs, hes supposed to drop a plus 10 upgrade mat and his weapon.

Well I died, went back, madness demon was there. I watched him whoop madness demons ass for a bit before jumping in to finish her off and fight him, after madness demon died he just stood there and went through some different dialogue, wuchang even had some dialogue, I got his health to zero and then nothing, he just stood there. I reloaded the area and he was gone, but no items. I reloaded from main menu, still no items, still gone.

Did I find some weird hidden outcome? Or did I break the game? 😂

Help a black templar make a decision please 🙏

For all of you lore enjoying black templars, Ive been trying to progress my tactical as if hes actually ranking up slowly haha. But ive come to a crossroads with the pauldrons. I like to express some cool lore accurate stuff but also veer a little here or there, doesnt need to be perfect. As far as a tactical goes though, in the heraldry would a tactical fall under the "assault squad" and or "close support"? Which would be marked with the white pauldron, black emblem and red trim on the pauldrons. Could a tactical be a sword brother technically? Or is that really only something given to the super heavy melee only guys? I do use a lot of melee on tactical still as a melee lover haha so maybe it could be applied, but also I was thinking of one of the white pauldron esthetics mainly because ive made some cool sword brother veterans with the black and red theme.

What are your thoughts? Here's the two looks I have right now im debating between.

Commander down

After feeling pretty stuck i doom scrolled for a bit and then locked in 😂 i probably died to her about 20 times. Super sick fight, I manged to find the balance of being aggressive but also hitting all the i portsnt longsword counters and dodging through some of the stuff that I kept dodging to the side and gettinf hit by. Super sick boss fight 👍

I made it to the skill check

Im fighting commander now, im only two attempts in but WOW. Yeah this'll be a challenge. So far most of the bosses have been pretty quick, I think up till now the only boss I died to like 10-15 times was the great centipede. This commander lady feels like this games version of genichiro from sekiro haha. A huge skill check that will lock me up for a bit and make sure im actually decent before continuing 😂.

I took down master raider, I managed to 1st attempt it, im sure like most first bosses he was made to be pretty easy and I shouldnt get a big head 😅, but it feels like a good indicator that in picking up the mechanics decent so far unlike my recent endeavors of trying wo long, where i feel lost.

I like the leveling and skill tree system a lot so far, I think im going to level long sword mostly, I like the counter thing that let's me live out my sekiro fantasies 😂.

Any tips for the journey forward? Whats some knowledge you wish you had your first run that youd like to share with a newcomer?

Holy hell I just got REAMED by RNG. So I swear, usually when the terminus spawns on inferno (which i feel like had been every run lately, which is cool tbh) it compensates by having less enemies in the area, usually a few majoris, nothing crazy. THIS RUN THOUGH... I walked out of the final elevator with the section with platforms outside before the final stairs down. I looked over and saw like 6 majoris enemies. I shit you not, it was 4 of the tyranids with the devourers (the multi shot burst rifles) and 2 of the venom cannon fuckers, with a carnifex. I tried for a moment to fight the carnifex near the elevator, to no avail. All my dodging space was covered with vine snare bullshit and I was getting a relentless damn near undodgeable barage of devourer shots. I was with bots and I had the gene seed (because last time I decided to pass it up I didnt go down at all so I commited to it this time). So I got desperate when I started getting fucked by the elevator, I tried to roll through to the pipe where the guardian relics was, a)so I wouldnt lose my gene seed, and b)because I entered this fight at half health already 😂. I only ended up agro-ing a bunch of ranged minoris, 3 snipers and ANOTHER devourer. I fought hard and cleared the majoris and got the carnifex to half health but I eventually succumbed to the madness and lost that run.

This was probably the worse rng ive had ever in this game 😂. Time to run it back 😏.

So a little while ago I got like 8 collector packs, they did alright, I got a foil ugin, 3 dragon eye lands one foil forest, craterhoof borderless foil, return to nature borderless foil, betor kin to all alt art, and a marshal flats full art foil. Well.... I bought 4 more because I felt like these packs were finally giving me the goods I didnt get out of my pre-order collector box.... and I got the dragonscale of the same, the marsh flats (in the same pack was an ugin and foil dragon eye mountain lol).

Pics are bad because I was literally shaking. For reference... I have 6 dual color dragon decks lmao. I have a problem with dragons 😂. I started around khans/fate reforged. The new tarkir set gave me so much joy and nostalgia, and its given me some terrible pulls, not a single special guest in my play box or collector I pre-ordered, but I kept buying it lmao and its finally decided to show me some love 😭.

Krak grenades are king for these fuckers, but the unexpected zoanthrope dispatcher is the melta bomb. The first time I did it was sheer desperation for survival, the times after that... for the THRILL. Well and not having krak grenades.

Im curious how many people have melta bombed zoanthropes 😂. It feels like my signature move at this point to recklessly grapnel in, drop the melta mid air and detonate while rolling away. The xenos know me as the melta bomb menace 😎. Everytime I do it I feel like space marine Jason Borne lmao.

Don't mind the embarrassing attempt to block the red attack lmao. It was the end of a massive wave with zoanthropes coming in, my brain glitched under the stress lol

u/No_Nose_9000 — 21 days ago

Im between 3 options, I like them all equally so I figured id let reddit help me pick. I like some good ol lore accuracy but usually give way with a couple small details to personalize it a lil.

u/No_Nose_9000 — 21 days ago

I like them all equally tbh so I figured id let reddit decide 😅. Which of these three should I go with for my helmet of my ravenguard?

u/No_Nose_9000 — 21 days ago

Ive had the game for 30 days now. Due to being out of work for knee surgery I've basically been playing space marine 2 about as much as a full time job 😂. I had a pretty gnarly meniscus tear thats had me out of work since February (surgery had to be scheduled like 3 weeks out). I go back in 4 weeks, ill update with when I go back to work to see how many hours I put in, in about 2 months of time off lol we'll all see how ridiculous it is together! So far ive beat the campaign, max prestiged bulwark, then assault, now vanguard just hit prestige 3 before im going to bed tonight/this morning lmao. Im basically getting paid to just play and love space marine while im on leave and I cant help but feel a bit grateful for that 🙏. The knee situation sucked pretty bad for a bit, not so bad at the present but it was a ROUGH one.

Has anyone else noticed that Captain Iden is missing his all powerful stache lately? I dont think its some cannon event where he shaved 😅. Bring back the almighty stache!

u/No_Nose_9000 — 24 days ago

Black templars are my favorite, it have a bunch of cool black tenplars, but the bulwark one here is my chaplain, I think its my favorite. Then theres my celestial lions veteran sergeant, then my lieutenant crimson fist, and then outside of my love for all the rogal dorne gene seed I decided to throw in my ravenwing dark angel because hes badass 😂.

u/No_Nose_9000 — 24 days ago

I dont want to label it as a bug yet, but it feels like its just straight up not working whatsoever. The perk says "while performing a gun strike you do not lose control or get knocked back by heavy attacks". I would imagine that should make it so that my gun strikes cannot be interrupted mostly right? Well I thought it was so good it was the first prestige perk I got and now I got prestige 2, so I've done a LOT of gunstrikes in that time and feel like not once have i seen it go uninterrupted 😂. Am i stupid? Am I misinterpreting the perk? Help a brother get some clarity please 🙏.

Thank you in advance!
