In the lead-up to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s release, publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive have been showcasing its playable multiplayer classes in pairs, starting with the Sniper and Tactical classes and then highlighting Assault and Vanguard. Now, Focus has turned the spotlight to the remaining two classes, showcasing new gameplay on Twitter for the Bulwark and Heavy classes.
The former comes equipped with a massive Storm Shield, which, as you might imagine, can absorb heavy amounts of damage. Bulwark warriors can also deploy a Chapter Banner, which triggers an armour healing effect for you and any allies in close vicinity.
Then there’s the Heavy class, which, as its name suggests, is focused on dealing damage in large numbers. The class comes equipped with special heavy weapons, while also have access to the Iron Halo, a temporary shield that blocks all incoming damage. Check out the clip below to see both classes in action.
Focus and Saber recently also revealed new details on Space Marine 2’s graphics modes, multiplayer and cross-play, and more.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 launches September 9 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Check out the game’s post-launch roadmap through here.
