The Tyranids are a race of vile and vicious alien bugs that use scything talons and claws, poisoning and psychic ranged attacks, and overwhelming numbers. They’re the first enemy faction you face in the game, so ourSpace Marine 2 beginner tipswill help you in your early fights against them as you learn the ropes of combat. Here are the different shapes and sizes of Tyranid you can find in Space Marine 2 across the campaign and Operations:

Hormagaunts

Space Marine 2 enemies tyranid hormagaunts

These clawed critters are the most common Tyranid enemy type in Space Marine 2. They’re very easy to kill but are fast and dangerous in large groups, particularly if they surround you. They can also leap and tear a chunk out of your health, but this attack is easily parried.

Termagants

Space Marine 2 enemies tyranid termagants

Termagants are the ranged Hormagaunt counterpart, holding ranged fleshborers which deal surprisingly high damage and inflict poison build-up. They’re also bit more durable than Hormagaunts and the best way to fight them is to shoot them back as they still resort to using their guns even at melee-range.

Tyranid Warriors

Zoanthropes

Space Marine 2 enemies tyranid zoanthrope

Hovering bugs with massive brains that unleash deadly psychic attacks. These include firing large, green projectiles and beams that apply a disorienting effect. Since they hover well above the ground, focus all your ranged fire on them as soon as you can and they’ll fall out the air, ready to be executed at ground level – they’re also synapse creatures, so killing them should be a priority. Finally, if you come up against multiple Zoanthropes, you’ll find that they can shield each other!

Gargoyles

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 enemies tyranid gargoyles

Very weak flying infantry bugs that only appear in missions to gnash at important machinery tied to objectives. Don’t waste you bullets on the massive swarms of them that fly around, but when you need to shoot them for an objective, make sure you’re using an automatic weapon with a big magazine, such as the Auto Bolt Rifle or Heavy Bolt Rifle, to clear them quickly.

Lictors

Space Marine 2 enemies tyranid lictor

These assassin bugs are very similar to Raveners, using their agile movement and invisibility to effectively teleport before pouncing from a high position. They can also grab you, dealing massive damage and triggering a quick time event. Once they reveal themselves, parry their melee attacks for Gun Strike and melee combo opportunities leading to an easy kill.

Ripper Swarms

Space Marine 2 enemies tyranid ripper swarm

Carnifexes

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 enemies tyranid carnifex

Massive walking-tank creatures with an array of melee weapons and the ability to fire spines out of their backs. Carnifexes appear as bosses in various missions, mostly using their huge talons, punishing tail swipes, and deadly leaping and charging attacks. You can parry some attacks, but your focus should mainly be on perfect dodges to set up Gun Stikes for damage.

Neurothropes

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 enemies tyranid neurothrope

The Neurothrope is an even more powerful Zoanthrope with added resilience and some new and improved attacks. It fires three disorienting beams at once instead of one and it can create pools of damaging psychic energy.

Arguably its deadliest attack is its psychic wave where it lowers to the ground and fires out several green blasts that you must roll through, and it shields itself. Either lob a Krak Grenade at the Neurothrope or dodge towards it and start hacking it apart with your melee weapon. Deal enough damage and you might stun it, letting you continue attacking without it fighting back.

Hive Tyrants

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 enemies tyranid hive tyrant

A massive and highly aggressive Tyranid beast that appears as a boss fight in oneSpace Marine 2 Operationsmission. It’s essentially a hybrid of a Carnifex and Neurothrope, combining the resilience and melee power of the former with the psychic powers of the latter. Aim for perfect dodges when facing its melee attacks to set up Gun Strikes, but parry what you can and dodge its psychic attacks to stay alive.

All Space Marine 2 Thousand Sons enemy types

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 enemies thousand sons

The Thousand Sons traitor legion is the Chaos-worshipping faction that appears in Space Marine 2. They mainly use ranged attacks in the form of conventional firearms and sorcery, both of which can apply the corruption effect to confuse you with fake enemies. Here are all the different enemy types of the Thousand Sons that you’ll face in Space Marine 2:

Cultists

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 enemies thousand sons chaos cultists

These heretic human enemies are the Thousand Sons’ cannon fodder. They die to one shot from pretty much any weapon but use surprisingly powerful guns of their own. Watch out for the telltale light-blue laser beam that comes from the Long-Las sniper weapons that some cultists use. Additionally, you’ll sometimes see a ghostly, blue head rise out of a cultist which will track to you like a Tyranid spore mine.

Tzaangors

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 enemies thousand sons tzaangor chaos daemons

Violent, sword-wielding Tzeentch Chaos Daemons that attack in large groups. While they can be shot or cut up in melee, some carry shields that block most damage, except for heavy melee attacks and grenades.

Rubric Marines

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 enemies thousand sons rubric marines

These Heretic Astartes are the standard infantry of the Thousand Sons. As such, they’re quite well-armored and are competent with a couple of ranged weapons and in melee. Their ability to teleport makes them hard to attack consistently at times, so sniping them in the head is a great strategy.

Scarab Occult Terminators

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 enemies thousand sons scarab occult terminators

These are heavily armored traitor Astartes that pack some serious firepower in the form of missile racks and a rotary cannon that can spew bullets. In my experience, the Scarab Occult Terminators don’t use their rotary cannon that often, but it tears through you when they do. They tend to be pretty immobile, firing clusters of small missiles that are quite tricky to dodge, and they can fire them at very close-range, practically raining them on top of themselves.

Getting in close also causes them to switch to using deadly melee combos, so they’re dangerous at pretty much any range. Use cover and be prepared to dodge roll a lot when facing these Terminators.

Lesser Sorcerers

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 enemies thousand sons lesser sorcerer

Sorcerers are the Thousand Sons’ spellcasters, using Warp-fuelled magic to damage and disorient with the corruption effect. Lesser Sorcerers can fire magic beams, summon biting ghost heads, and shield themselves, so there are a lot of attacks and effects to deal with. They can also teleport and can resurrect dead Rubric Marines, though are pretty ineffective in melee, so your best option is to use close-range weaponry.

Helbrutes

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 enemies thousand sons helbrute

Heldrakes

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 enemies thousand sons heldrake

Heldrake are massive, dragon-like machines that fly around spewing fire. You battle one in a boss fight during the Reliquary Operation, although the fight is more of a puzzle. Before you can damage the Heldrake on its perch, you must activate three terminals with holographic symbols that match the three glowing symbols on the stained-glass windows surrounding the Heldrake, then it’ll become vulnerable.

Will more enemy types be added to Space Marine 2?

(Image credit: Focus Entertainment)

Space Marine 2 campaign necron obelisk

Yes, theSpace Marine 2 roadmapsays a “new enemy” will be added in Seasons 2 and 4, though this is still subject to change. I assume that these new enemies will just be a single new type for either the Tyranids or Thousand Sons – perhaps a new boss fight during a specific mission or a new common enemy.

For Tyranids, it could be something like the Winged Tyranid Prime to lead Warriors more effectively or a new type of Carnifex like the Screamer-Killer, but hopefully it’s something new for the game, such as Genestealers, Pyrovores, or Barbgaunts. As for the Thousand Sons, we could see a more powerful sorcerer type arrive, such as an Exalted Sorcerer or Infernal Master, or a new Chaos Daemon type.

Finally, while I think this is incredibly unlikely, the end of the campaign sees the Thousand Sons and Ultramarines vying for control over a set of Necron artifacts, and the world of Demerium is a Necron tomb world. It could be that the immortal robots lying dormant on the planet are reawakened and appear as a new Necron faction, somewhat tying in with the Pariah Nexus story in the Warhammer 40K tabletop game.© GamesRadar+.
