Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2has been a hit among not justWarhammerfans but also gamers in general. After selling more than 5 million copies, it has become the most successfulWarhammergame. One of the main reasons for this success is how good the game’s combat feels and how committed Saber Interactive is to making it better.
One of the ways Saber is doing this is via the official roadmap for content release after the game’s launch. But past that, players also have requests of their own, especially regarding weapons. A recent Reddit post summed it up pretty well with these 5 weapons.
Lightning Claws:A Space Wolf staple
Lightning Claws are a fan favorite, particularly for those who play as Space Wolves or Assault Terminators. These gauntlets feature razor-sharp blades charged with an energy field capable of slicing through armor and flesh with ease. Wielded in pairs, they allow for devastating melee attacks, blending ferocity with elegance.
Imagine storming into Tyranid hordes with these claws, channeling your inner Wolverine. The only downside? You have no range. Some players have suggested incorporating a bolt pistol into the design to balance their gameplay potential. Regardless, these claws are at the top of every fan’s wishlist.
Storm Bolter: double trouble
The Storm Bolter combines the power of two standard bolters into one double trouble solution. Designed for heavy infantry like Terminators, its rapid-fire capability and large magazine make it a reliable tool for mowing down waves of enemies.

Imagine charging into the fray, each trigger pull sending explosive rounds tearing through Xenos and Chaos alike. The Storm Bolter would be a boost to the firepower of heavy classes by offering a mid-range option for those who prefer raw, unrelenting damage.
Power Axe:Kratos inWarhammer 40K
The Power Axe brings a balance of elegance and raw power to the battlefield. Its energized blade can carve through both armor and flesh, making it a favorite among Assault Squad Sergeants and Vanguard Veterans. Unlike the more nimble Power Sword, the Power Axe trades speed for devastating impact.
Its heaviness would suit a slower playstyle and reward players who time their strikes carefully. Pairing the axe with a combat shield could make it the ultimate weapon. While you’re at it,add the Chain Axe toofor all the heretics!
Flamer:crispy tyranids on the menu!
Few weapons embody the spirit of the Imperium as much as the Flamer. This weapon projects bursts of fire, making it ideal for clearing out tightly packed enemies or flushing foes out of cover. InSpace Marine 2, a Flamer could be a tactical choice for missions requiring crowd control.
It’ll be the perfect solution for fighting Tyranid nests by unleashing walls of flame to cleanse the Xenos threat. Its raw destructive power and visceral aesthetic would make every mission feel like a holy crusade. It’s already part of some mods, let’s hope it’spart of the roadmap soon.
Shotgun: close-quarter excellence
For those who enjoy high-intensity, close-quarters combat, look no further than the Shotgun. Scouts and Deathwatch veterans traditionally wield these weapons, which fire slugs that explode into lethal submunitions. These ballistic weapons are known for their spread, making them ideal for clearing tight spaces and dealing with fast-moving threats.

Its versatility could also come in handy against more heavily armored enemies when loaded with specialized ammunition, such as incendiary or armor-piercing rounds. The Shotgun’s brutal simplicity would make it a fan favorite among aggressive players.
The inclusion of these weapons inSpace Marine 2could significantly enrich its gameplay, offering players more tactical choices and opportunities for customization. The Lightning Claws in particular have a very nice Wolverine aesthetic that would be unmatched.
