Here's an extensive guide on the enemies you'll encounter in "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2," based on available web information:
Tyranid Enemies:
Minoris:
•Hormagaunts: Fast, melee-focused creatures. They are numerous but individually weak. Strategy involves crowd control and area denial with grenades or melee sweeps.
•Termagants: Similar to Hormagaunts but with a focus on ranged attacks. Shooting them from a distance is key.
•Rippers: Small, fast, and swarm in numbers. They can overwhelm if not dealt with quickly using wide-sweeping attacks or area-of-effect weapons.
Majoris:
•Tyranid Warriors: Larger than Minoris, with the ability to block attacks. Use heavy melee hits or parry their strikes to open them up for executions.
•Zoanthropes: Psychic enemies capable of ranged attacks that can disorient. Focus on disrupting their psychic aura by dealing damage quickly, and be wary of their explosive attacks.
Extremis:
•Lictors: Stealthy predators that can cloak. They require keen observation to spot and deal with before they strike.
Terminus:
•Carnifex: A massive creature with high resilience. Effective against this beast involves using all available firepower, especially grenades and heavy weapons.
•Hive Tyrant: Acts as a boss in some missions. Its psychic abilities can boost other Tyranids, making it a priority target.
Chaos Enemies (Thousand Sons):
Minoris:
•Cultists: Basic human enemies with weak ranged capabilities. Easily dispatched with melee or quick bursts of fire.
•Tzaangors: Beastmen with some resistance due to their mutations. They can pose a threat in groups but are less durable than Tyranids.
Majoris:
•Rubric Marines: Animated armor without the Astartes within, making them tough. They can teleport and use flame attacks. Careful positioning and melee parries are key.
•Scarab Occult Terminators: Heavily armored, requiring precise parries or high-damage weapons like Melta Guns.
Extremis:
•Helbrutes: Chaotic versions of Space Marine Dreadnoughts. Their attacks are powerful, necessitating dodging or keeping distance while focusing heavy fire.
Terminus:
•Imurah the Exalted Sorcerer: A formidable sorcerer with teleportation and summoning abilities. Strategy involves disrupting his spellcasting by closing in quickly or using long-range weapons to keep him at bay.
General Strategies:
•Marking Enemies: Use the marking system (T on PC, Up on the D-pad for consoles) to communicate priority targets to teammates, which is crucial for the "Purge Them All" achievement.
•Executions: When enemies are weakened, execute them for armor regen and to clear nearby minor enemies.
•Class-Specific Tactics: Each class has unique abilities that can be used effectively against different enemy types. For example, the Tactical's Auspex Scan can make enemies more vulnerable.
•Threat Levels: Enemies get tougher at higher threat levels in Operations. Adjust your strategy, focusing on the most significant threats first.
Additional Notes:
•Boss Fights: Terminus enemies generally require a coordinated team effort, using all available tools and abilities.
•Enemy Behavior: Understanding the behavior, like how Tyranids can call for reinforcements, helps in prioritizing targets.
