2. 🎯 Recommended Primary Weapons for the Techmarine: Analysis and Tips
- ✅ The Techmarine will have access to: auto-bolt rifle, heavy bolt rifle, Oculus bolt carbine, and plasma exterminator.
- ⚠️ He will not have access to the standard bolt rifle, possibly to avoid giving him a grenade launcher.
- ✅ The Oculus carbine is an excellent option thanks to its headshot damage multiplier.
- ⚠️ The heavy bolt rifle has a perk that increases headshot damage but reduces body damage, making it less effective against Chaos due to dispersion.
03:07 - 04:16
3. 🔫 Secondary Weapons: Plasma Pistol vs. Inferno Pistol
- ✅ The Techmarine will have access to the plasma pistol and inferno pistol as secondary weapons.
- ✅ The plasma pistol is one of the best weapons in the game, effective against various types of enemies.
- ⚠️ The inferno pistol can be useful against Tyranids, but needs an improvement in weapon attack damage.
- ✅ Having access to the plasma pistol suggests that the Techmarine will also have the plasma incinerator.
04:17 - 05:19
4. ⚔️ Melee Weapons: Power Axe vs. Power Halberd
- ✅ The Techmarine will have access to the power axe and the power halberd.
- ✅ The power halberd will have an area of effect (AoE) attack.
- ✅ It is recommended to use the power halberd because it is a new and visually appealing weapon.
- ✅ It is important to level up the power axe, plasma pistol, and heavy bolt rifle Oculus.
05:20 - 06:04
5. 🛠️ Prioritizing the Plasma Pistol and Other Recommendations
- ✅ If you can only level up one weapon, the plasma pistol is recommended for its consistency and usefulness in weapon attacks.
- ✅ The Oculus bolt carbine and plasma incinerator are also good options.
06:05 - 07:16
6. ⚖️ Considerations on the Heavy Bolt Rifle and Heroics
- ✅ The heavy bolt rifle is an excellent weapon, but its builds can be awkward for switching between Tyranids and Chaos.
- ✅ Attention should be paid to the perks used with the heavy bolt rifle.
- ✅ Wait for the update announcement to see if there are new heroic versions of the weapons.
07:17 - 08:34
7. 🦸 Taking Advantage of Heroic Versions of Weapons
- ✅ Using a heroic version of a weapon from the beginning allows you to avoid leveling up the base version in terms of base damage.
- ⚠️ Still, it is necessary to level up the weapon to obtain mastery points and improve the perks.
- ✅ This can be useful if you have requisition points to spend.
- ✅ A heroic plasma pistol would be very useful.
08:35 - 09:36
8. 🎮 Recommended Classes to Practice Before the Techmarine
- ✅ Being a Vanguard, you can use the inferno pistol and the Oculus carbine.
- ✅ The Tactical class is a good option to get used to the Techmarine, as it has access to many of the weapons that he will use.
- ✅ With the Tactical, you have access to the plasma pistol and the heavy bolt rifle.
09:37 - 10:10
9. 🛡️ Additional Preparation: Armory Data and Skills
- ✅ Pre-arming with armory data can be useful.
- ✅ The Techmarine and his main weapon, the Omnisiah axe, will start at level one.
- ⚠️ It is not certain if the shoulder-mounted weapons are leveled up separately.
10:11 - 10:44
10. ⚙️ Turrets and Armory Data
- ✅ The Techmarine will be able to interact with turrets in the levels.
- ✅ Armory data can be obtained by playing any operation or strategy.
10:45 - 11:32
11. 💥 Strategies for Obtaining Armory Data
- ✅ Normal strategies give purple armory data, while hard mode gives orange (relic) armory data.
- ✅ Relic armory data can be obtained by playing in lethal mode.
- ✅ Relic armory data can be used in lower-level perks.
11:33 - 12:23
12. 🔥 Leveling and Focus on Plasma Weapons
- ✅ It is good to save some materials to level up with the Techmarine.
- ✅ The main focus is to improve with plasma weapons, playing with the Tactical and using the plasma pistol and plasma incinerator.
- ✅ You should also play with the Oculus carbine to level it up completely.
12:24 - 13:47
13. 🪓 Mastering the Power Axe and Balanced Parry
- ✅ It is recommended to use the power axe if you haven't done so before.
- ✅ The Vanguard and the Tactical are the two classes with the most relevant weapon sets for the Techmarine.
- ✅ If you play with the Tactical, you should change the fencing focus and improve the balanced parry.
- ✅ The Omnisiah axe will probably have balance, fencing, and blocking variants.
- ✅ When leveling up a new class, the Omnisiah axe will not have the best parry frames, so it is important to practice with balanced weapons.
13:48 - 14:45
14. 💀 Preparing for Lethal Level with the Techmarine
- ✅ The Techmarine has good weapons to start with, such as the plasma incinerator.
- ✅ Jumping to the lethal level with the level one or five plasma incinerator may be feasible with good teammates.
- ⚠️ Not everyone will want to play with low-level Techmarines.
- ✅ If you contribute to the team, the level will not matter.
14:46 - 16:11
15. 🎯 Final Summary: Focus on Parries, Weapons, and Feedback
- ✅ The main focus will be to practice parries and improve the listed weapons, especially the Oculus carbine and the plasma incinerator.
- ✅ You should get the relic plasma pistol.
- ✅ The plasma pistol will be the main weapon for weapon attacks.
- ✅ It is recommended to level up the plasma pistol, plasma incinerator, Oculus carbine, heavy bolt rifle, auto-bolt rifle, and power axe before the Techmarine is released.
