List Of All Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 Enemies
In Space Marine 2, the story is set in the 41st Millennium, and is centered around Humanity’s war against the Tyranid invasion. Thus, the Tyranids are the primary threat that players will face in the campaign and the Operations mode. The forces of Chaos, although secondary enemies, pose a great deal of threat as well and will encounter players during different missions across different locations of Kadaku, Avarax, and Demerium. Furthermore, each enemy has a specific type of threat, which can be classified as follows:
- Minoris – They are the usual enemies that attack in swarms/waves.
- Majoris – They appear alongside Minories, but are usually stronger than them.
- Terminus – They are the bosses that appear with a health bar in a fight.
- Extremis – They are not bosses, but are extremely harder to defeat.
