The Best Weapons in Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2

Bolt Carbine

Bolt Carbine boasts a high fire rate, but most weapons have this kind of tooltip on them. However, the Bolt Carbine is more similar to an SMG’s fire rate than an assault rifle with a high fire rate. That means that it fires more and does a lot of damage. It is more used in close-quarter combat, but it is also decent when it comes to mid-range.

Bolt Sniper Rifle

The Bolt Sniper Rifle has the highest damage out of all the weapons. It can one-shot almost all enemies, including elites, as long as you hit them in the head. This damage output alone puts it on top of all the semi-auto rifles and marksman DMRs in terms of power. Surprisingly, it also has decent accuracy even without scoping. You want to pair it with a fast melee weapon like a Power Sword or a Combat Knife.

Marksman Bolt Carbine

The Marksman Bolt Carbine is the perfect weapon for mid-range and long-range fights. It is a semi-automatic rifle that does decent damage and has a higher fire rate than most DMR weapons. When it comes to an all-around weapon that emphasizes precision (distance shooting), it is one of the best weapons in the game.

Occulus Bolt Carbine

The Occulus Bolt Carbine is quite similar to the Bolt Carbine but with a little more power and less fire rate. This weapon is basically the Bolt Carbine without the perks and upgrades, so it is up to preference at this point.

Heavy Bolt Carbine

The Heavy Bolt Carbine is one of the strongest weapons if you can fully control it. It is a fully automatic mid-range weapon, so it depends on your recoil control to precisely hit the target while fully spraying at a distance. Since it is a fully automatic weapon, it is also decent in close-range combat. You can also tap to shoot against enemies from a distance.
