Since its release on September 9,Space Marine 2has captivated players with its immersive campaign narrative based on the belovedWarhammer 40Kuniverse and its engaging combat that leaves players with a hunger to play more.
The game offers players various modes to play in, but the most popular seems to be Operations, where three players team up to defeat ahorde of enemies and complete the objective.
In this mode, players get to choose from six different classes, each offering a different playstyle and role within the team. It seems that of all the classes, Sniper Class is getting the worst reviews from the players due to its seemingly unattractive gameplay and weapon choices.
However, that’s not the case, as this class requires players to build a proper loadout and also play to the class’ strength as a long-distance support.
Understanding the Sniper Class in Space Marine 2
Space Marine 2‘s Sniper Class is very distinct from the other five classes, primarily due to its main ability: Camo-cloak. This ability allows Snipers to disengage from direct combat (it works like an invisible cloak), making it easy to reposition themselves and set up ambushes on unsuspecting foes looking to target their teammates.
While at first glance, it may seem that Snipers have a limited role and weapons array,the beauty of their gameplay lies in the support they provideby dealing damage from a distance and enabling their teammates to go berserk on the battlefield.
Unlike other classes, the Sniper is focused on their primary weapon and perks to deal great damage and gain advantage on the battlefield.

If players decide to pick Sniper Class, they will start with a larger caliber primary weapon of their choice, a pistol, and a combat knife. The selection of the primary weapons depends on the player’s playstyle (aggressive or passive).
If they want to be more agile and engage in somewhat closer fights, the best options early in the game would be these sniper rifles: Bolt Carbine or Stalker Bolt Rifle. But as they level up and gain better perks (in the endgame content), the best options would be Las Fusil and Bolt Sniper Rifle.
As for the combat knife and the secondary pistol, they are very useful as well, proving their worth when enemies spawn behind the player and they have to defend as well as reposition themselves while also engaging with them. In most endgame builds, besides the primary weapon, the main focus is on the combat knife damage and versatility.
Unlocking the Full Potential of the Sniper Class
To fully unlock the potential of Sniper Class inSpace Marine 2, players first have to make their loadouts. For the early-mid game, the best loadout would be:
This build helps players learn more about the class and also deal decent damage. As players can see, all the perks are focused on increasing damage, as in the early-mid game, DPS is the most important requirement to survive. Now, for the mid-end game build, go for the following loadout:
Players can replace Las Fusil with Bolt Sniper Rifle if they want to (both are great weapons, just depends on preference).
At first glance, players might only see the change in Primary weapons, but the real change is in the perks. The above list only highlighted the important perks, but there are loads of others that players can enable when they reach endgame. As explained before, this class is all about perks and if selected correctly, it has the power to change the tide of the battlefield.
Key Strategies for Playing the Sniper Class
Now that players understand what the Sniper Class is all about and how to build their loadouts, they cannot jump into the battlefield hastily. The difficulty in the game gradually increases as players progress in the story as well as in their levels.

The most important thing to remember when scouting from a distanceis to always be aware of your surroundings. Some enemies, like Lictors, like to prioritize isolated targets and can spawn behind the player, especially if they are not utilizing their Cloak effectively.
Another thing to remember would be to effectively use the laser sights (it has a generous hitbox to take advantage of) and the larger caliber weapon’s ability to stagger enemies (after staggering, change target and leave the staggered enemy for your teammate to handle), effectively distributing the workload.
With the right approach and tactical loadouts, players can dominate the battlefield and support their team effectively with the Sniper Class, making it far from the worst class available in the game. In the end, every class’ success on the battlefield depends on the player’s ability to adapt and utilize their skills in the battle effectively.
