Pair Tactical with Sniper and you got a team synergy. Sniper can refill your energy faster, using one of his perks, and you can just spam the scan all day long.
Honestly, of all the youtubers playing this game, I appreciate that you explain your decisions rather than hit us with, "it'll add up, and my source is: Trust me, bro."
I respect and appreciate your approach to your videos. Providing honest information based on your actual time and experience with the classes instead of just pushing out videos for the sake of content and views. You got yourself a sub. Keep it up!
@FlashSonic542 bolt rifle with grenade launcher and the perk that reloads your magazine with a majoris execution every 30 seconds. Essentially infinate grenade launcher
@@FlashSonic542on top you can run the perks for the scan that make you do 175% more damage, pair that with the perk that adds another 8 seconds on top of the stock 8 seconds and you have a 12 second scan (because one of the damage buffs takes 4 seconds away) it’s a basically a boss killer build.
Same! I am making all my PvE characters fancy looking Ultramarines (because they’re named characters in the story who are ultramarines), but getting all fancy with PvP. Have a Blood Raven tactical to honor my time in the Dawn of War series, working on a Space Wolf assault, haven’t decided what to do the others up as yet though (I’m open to suggestions.)
Correction, melta is capable of headshot. You just have to aim for the heads. It's not that reliable, but on enemies that have bigger headshot hotboxes you can do it easily.
Awesome informative video as usual. Loving this series. My friends and I just started playing and these tips and mechanics explanations are coming in clutch. Would love to see a team comp synergy video when you're finished with the deep dives. 👍
Hey man great content! I’ve been watching you since the beginning of D1 and I’m im glad that you still cover it from time to time but it’s good that you’re expanding beyond it. I did want to ask though, I have been playing space marines since it came out on steam this past Monday and everything has been good. The only thing is that it has been crashing every so often and every day it has been getting progressively worse until yesterday I couldn’t even go two minutes without playing it and it crashing. I believe I’m on the final mission of the campaign to finally start the operations, but I can’t even finish it. I just started playing on PC literally about three weeks ago with a custom built brand new PC so honestly I’m pretty confused as to why this keeps happening but it doesn’t happen in any other game. A friend of mine seems to believe that from his experience this is quite common for people with AMD GPU’s, and he also thinks that AMD will be releasing an update to the driver soon. Any suggestions in the meantime ?
As a heads up, TV, Emperor's Vengeance currently doesn't work with Plasma weapons and since it only refills your primary weapons ammo it does nothing for your bolt pistol. With your current setup it's actually a dead perk.
Actually, there is a way to proc the refill on Plasma weapons if you kill a major enemy when your pistol is equipped, that will refill your plasma ammo probably bugged, though not intended.
A skill combo I don't see anyone talking about is what I use. Equip the perk which gives auspex on parry. Equip the perk which makes headshots instantly kill an extremis enemy. If you wait for and parry something like a liktor, it will receive the scan, then the follow up gunstrike will kill it instantly, since it counts as a headshot. As a bonus, you'll not have actively "used" your scan.
I personally like setting my scan up to do almost 200% extra damage. If you're using the melta, you will obliterate everything. My damag at the end of matches is normally triple other people's
I'll admit I like the look of the sniper more than the tactical. Then again for the tabletop I play Raptors Chapter, so the camo speaks to me more. However gameplay wise I love playing tactical.
I love the sniper armor lol It's chapter agnostic. The heavy roman motifs of tactical armor limit it to a few chapters.... if you care about that sort of thing. lol My Raven Guard sniper pleases me. As shall my Novamarine Tac.
I actually prefer the precise calibration +75% more damage rather than the parry one for my tactical playstyle. I don't do as much melee since i use bolt rifle with GL, so im launching grenades and shooting most of the time. I will fight melee if something gets in my face, but i try to make space so i can launch grenades and shoot again. Also, without the extra 75% damage, the auspex doesn't feel as strong on terminus boss fights. With the extra 75% on top of the default and 100% (for total of 200% i believe since the base i think adds 30%), I can absolutely melt bosses with grenade launcher. Also large groups of majoris get wrecked way faster if i can land an auspex on them with that extra debuff. Although with the new auspex debuff (-30% on bosses) i wonder how it will feel. I wonder if by bosses they mean hive tyrant and hell drake or if they mean terminus
Even though I haven't played Destiny in a while, it's nice to see TV dominate with the Bolt Pistol like a D2 Sidearm 😂 Have you played much of the PvP in Space Marines 2?
You have 70 hours with access a week before "advanced access". I have 77 without the week before advanced access. We are not the same. xD Good video. Their cosmetics are cool but I don't like the fact that they aren't chapter agnostic. Most of the stuff you unlock is specifically Ultramarines which severely limits your options for LARPing as other chapters. Good build
Thanks for this. I'm lvl 10 and hate the class. I do nothing and get washed by enemies all day long. Playing on PvE on lowest difficulty is still way too hard.
I'm trying to use this gun right now and you weren't lying about this being a slog to level. Even on the lower difficulties trying to kill anything with this piece of shit is absolute hell.
Have you tried the Bolt Rifle w Grenade Launcher? I’ve been trying to make it work bc it has that standard space marine fantasy vibe to it but I’m not sure how it will compete in higher difficulties.
It absolutely rips through high diff. Just use the scan perks that let you do more damage to marked targets. I smoke the have tyrant ina Minute or less with that loadout.
Played my first lethal yesterday on inferno, and it was me(assault), tactical, and a baulwark and the synergy with us was insane, absolutely mopped through them
Showing up with an assault ? You guys get it all wrong. Spec into the pistol and fencing you delete hordes of majors alone pretty fast without losing any health on max difficulty . He is so so strong
Tactical is genuinely ridicious. And also, just to note, I find it odd how the tacti plasma incin feels a lot better then the heavy one, mostly due to it being straight shots instead of fucking around with archs
Tactical may not be the best class, and honestly it's my least favorite armor (Sorry, I don't like ancient rome) But it's still my favorite class, I love throwing my debuff into a huge swarm of majors and just deleting them
Assault is really good when you get zealous blow and max out your hammer perk tree, once that's done it deletes majors/extreme tier enemies and wipes hordes with ease in ruthless. (Except against chaos, don't use assault against chaos lol)
My guy the chain sword build is almost exclusively top tree if you want to build around the stomp heavy. Starting from the bottom tree into top will have you miss the perk that gives you damage reduction on enemies hit by stomp.
@@TrueVanguard yeah and u don't have a y relic armory data because u avoid picking them up, so does every battle brother on every ruthless run, give me a break
I dont know why, but I just can't get myself to buy this game. And I NEED a new game, and can easily afford it. I just don't see long term playability.
I mean, the updates are free. Cosmetics are the only thing that is even purchasable and the base armor unlocks are great looking. It’s def worth the money to pick up
Pair Tactical with Sniper and you got a team synergy. Sniper can refill your energy faster, using one of his perks, and you can just spam the scan all day long.
The scan is big
Throw in a vanguard and you have 15% ability recharge on finishers as well
Add Vanguard or Heavy and your pretty much DPS Mania
I love playing with snipers for this reason 🙌❤.

Don't sleep on the Bolt rifle with grenade launcher, it fucks.
That's what I clear solo ruthless with ❤ 3 launcher shots stun elites and executions restore ammo

Your videos have convinced me to level up Tactical as my second character. Thank you, helps me invest my time wisely.
Pros of Tactical: everything
Cons of Tactical: why the fuck does he always roll instead of quickstepping like the others?!
Literally this! I hate the roll 😅
Perfect for Soulslike Beginners lol
I love seeing how everyone decorates their Space Marines.

Yes! I´m loving this game and the customization.
I’m crayola man! 😂 (lost my early access camos and am currently crying inside)
I like to do it, how ever I don't know anything about lore and factions so I guess I go wild and crazy when I mix how ever I like it.
@@DeathlessPrinceyou could just run successor chapters colors.
I personally find the perk that increases auspex dmg by 200% but lose 4 seconds to be much better. Absolutely melts with the melta
Cool break down, helped me wrap my brain around how the class needs to be built/played. 👍
Finally a youtuber that understands that posting a video mentoring someone after only playing for 3 hrs on average difficulty is not the way.
Correction, melta is capable of headshot. You just have to aim for the heads. It's not that reliable, but on enemies that have bigger headshot hotboxes you can do it easily.
Outstanding guide! This is much more info than others have provided and presented wonderfully. I appreciate you.
Tactical with the Heavy Bolt Rifle is my jam
Vanguard Deep Dive was great TruV. I started my Vanguard career yesterday and it is Sooo fun to play!
Bro great video! Really fantastic guide. Just started grinding tactical, glad to see end game he's pretty useful.
Loving the space marine content. Keep it coming
I saw someone do a tier list with 0 talent investment in some classes... I much prefer your approach.
loving the videos TV. These are some of your best guides outside of D2. Really enjoying the transition to this game. Very informative!

Great breakdown!
I love all of these awesome Destiny creators bringing years of review experience to this game!
Great video, thanks!
My favorite weapon for the tactical is the marksman bolt carbine

Great Vid series! What key binds did you pick for dodge and parry? Also need help finding players to join
Tactical ultimate plus Vanguard Flying Kick is ridiculous!
0:45 YOU CAN SHOOT THOSE?! I feel so dumb.
I have been running both bulwark and tactical. I like to play tactical after I get bored of playing Bulwark.😂
i’m the same way but with assault and tactical
Wait the Melta doesn't headshot even up close?
Use auspex scan then grenade launcher, deletes that mob. Perk will constantly give you ammo

Have you played much of the PvP in Space Marines 2?
Found it: great video
Bolt Rifle with grenade launcher, amazingly good.
What chainsword perks do you use? Those arent shown
Tactical with melta or heavy bolted is so god damn good
For Marked for Death, does a gunstrike count as a headshot?
How do you get that chest piece? Is it bugged?
Everybody talks about endgame builds. Nobody talks about a good leveling build.
You have 70 hours with access a week before "advanced access". I have 77 without the week before advanced access. We are not the same.
xD
Good video. Their cosmetics are cool but I don't like the fact that they aren't chapter agnostic. Most of the stuff you unlock is specifically Ultramarines which severely limits your options for LARPing as other chapters. Good build
My 4 tacticals are blackshield deathwatch, grey knight, imperial fist legionary and a black templar. Game is amazing
Tactical and Heavy have the most detailed amor pieces compared to the rest, Assault is a good second, Bulwark in third imo

Oh wow wait, not my all perks are active all the time?
You failed to mention that there's currently a bug where the Emperor's Retribution refills All of your plasma ammo since it's considered one magazine.
Have you tried the Bolt Rifle w Grenade Launcher?

whats that one called?
@@XxXxXGR3GXxXxX It’s one of the variants of the default bolt rifle. Not the auto bolt rifle, the regular one.
It absolutely rips through high diff. Just use the scan perks that let you do more damage to marked targets. I smoke the have tyrant ina Minute or less with that loadout.
@@DeathlessPrince I just don't see any that specify they have a grenade launcher
@@XxXxXGR3GXxXxX starts at master crafted tier or higher, 1 will zoom slightly while holding in R3, the other will swap to grenade launcher.
How do you find the perk screen at minute 9?
Armory, it's below your ability it says "perk tree" or skill
Played my first lethal yesterday on inferno, and it was me(assault), tactical, and a baulwark and the synergy with us was insane, absolutely mopped through them
Showing up with an assault ? You guys get it all wrong. Spec into the pistol and fencing you delete hordes of majors alone pretty fast without losing any health on max difficulty . He is so so strong
We need dual wield chain axes I wanna go full space wolf's or khorne berzerker
Bolt rifle + grenade launcher is the best
You like Vanguard or Tactical better?
Vanguard for life!
Grenade launcher... Mic drop
chain sword skill tree???
Imperial Fist armor is the best
Tactical is genuinely ridicious. And also, just to note, I find it odd how the tacti plasma incin feels a lot better then the heavy one, mostly due to it being straight shots instead of fucking around with archs
the tier list of weapons
melta rifle
melta rifle
melta rifle x3
melta rifle
melta rifle
Try to keep in mind though other creators also got their copy early.
It’s not too late to become a Salamander TV
Tactical may not be the best class, and honestly it's my least favorite armor (Sorry, I don't like ancient rome)
But it's still my favorite class, I love throwing my debuff into a huge swarm of majors and just deleting them
Have you tried pvp yet? It's surprisignly good.
It's OK. Nothing that has any staying power.
… you know you can charge the incinerator longer to proc the damage boost on the first shot…
Assault is really good when you get zealous blow and max out your hammer perk tree, once that's done it deletes majors/extreme tier enemies and wipes hordes with ease in ruthless.
