Space Marine 2: Techmarine Duels the Hive Tyrant With New Heroic Knife - True Solo Absolute

Описание: (Played on the patch 12 PTS)

In this run I wanted to try out a fencing weapon on Techmarine to show the power of free gun strikes. There is a cooldown on your gun strike which is a bit annoying, but you can get a lot of free damage in. Gun strikes also stagger enemies, so they provide a bit of crowd control when fighting multiple Majoris.

The new heroic Combat Knife is a pretty interesting weapon. The damage of the heroic perk is kinda cheeks (you can barely see it tickle the Hive Tyrant lol), but what it offers is a knife with the stats of a block weapon while having parries instead of blocks. It actually has higher base damage than the block knife, although the block knife will of course deal more damage with adrenaline surge charges. The penalty to parry window does not add any startup frames and is barely noticeable to me. Even though the heroic perk may as well not exist, I think this is a pretty good weapon just for the fact that you get a 0-frame startup parry while having the stats of a block weapon instead of fencing. You get the best part of fencing weapons, but your weapon still deals good damage instead of hitting like a wet noodle.

For the rest of the build we have the Heavy Bolt Rifle for its ammo economy and the heroic Heavy Bolt Pistol to oneshot reinforcement calls. I tried going for Remote Threat on the Heavy Bolt Rifle like I would with Tactical, but having Increased Capacity for more ammo is much more comfortable for Techmarine since he has no ammo perks.

(No idea where the first Ravener went during the Neurothrope fight lol, I guess he just gave up)
