This weapon is a staple of the Warhammer universe and for good reason. This elegant yet devastating melee weapon can slice through armor as if it were butter, thanks to its power field that disrupts matter at the molecular level.

It’s one of those weapons that screams overkill, and that’s why it needs to be in Space Marine 2. This ancient weapon fires beams of thermic energy, cooking your enemies alive. If there’s a weapon to make you feel like a supreme being, it’s this one.

If you’ve ever wanted to crush your enemies under the weight of their own armor, this is the weapon for you. This rare weapon manipulates gravity, making it a perfect tool for crowd control or taking down heavily armored foes.

Go big or go home“—that’s the kind of message this weapon conveys. The heavy weapon delivers devastating blasts that can vaporize almost anything in its path. It’s just the kind of firepower the game needs in its arsenal.

This thing is a symbol of the Emperor’s might. Carried by Chaplains, it combines the lethality of a mace with the energy of a Power Weapon, delivering righteous fury to heretics and xenos alike.

Saber Interactive needs to add this thing to the game and let people channel their inner Chaplain.

7) Chainaxe

A brutal cousin of the Chainsword, favored by the berserkers of Khorne. The savage weapon is perfect for you, if you’re someone who’d prefer to get up close and personal with their enemies. It would bring a whole new level of satisfying, visceral combat, letting you tear through your foes in a messy but glorious way.

Who doesn’t love the smell of promethium in the morning? People using this weapon, that’s who. It’s designed for one purpose: cleansing. Whether you’re facing Tyranids or Chaos cultists, this thing can clear a path with a wave of searing fire.

A weapon of legend, this weapon was used by the Deathwatch to slay the most dangerous enemies in the galaxy.

The polearm is deadly in close combat while doubling as a powerful ranged weapon. It would be a versatile tool for players any situation.

As a weapon of the Grey Knights, it combines the range of a polearm with the psychic power of the Warp. Wielding this would give players the ability to deal insane melee damage while channeling psychic energy into their attacks.

Tear through any armor and fortifications with this in your hand. The upcoming Warhammer release needs a tank buster, and this is the weapon for the job. Hopefully, Focus Entertainment will add these in a future update, if not at launch.

These are just a few of the weapons we hope to see added to the upcoming Space Marine release.

We’d love to hear your thoughts. Are there any weapons missing from the list you’d want to see in-game? Let us know in the comments below!
