• Parry and dodge the initial attacks to get a hold of the attack pattern.
• These Warriors are capable of blocking incoming attacks with their swords, so you would need to perform heavy attacks to break their guard stance.
• Launch counterattacks in between this process to land the killing blow.

Whip and Sword Warrior

The whips are a problem as they can reach the Marines from some distance and disorient them. Fortunately, whip attacks are indicated with a highlight in the game as they cannot be parried. To eliminate these creatures:

These Tyranid Warriors in Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 shoot out damaging pods that bloom into venomous vines and thorns to damage their enemies. However, these are quite easy to defeat by using the following steps:

• These stranglers cannot attack the Marines directly and need to fire pods that bloom only after landing on the ground.
• You can quickly rush these aliens and take them down by dealing damage directly instead of waiting around for the vines to come out.
• In case you are poisoned by the stranglers, a stimpack can instantly get rid of the blurry green vision.

Devourer Warrior

The Devourer is a ranged attacker who shoots out flesh-eating maggots from a distance. They can be defeated with ease by using these steps:

• It is best to dodge their weapon as far as possible while cleaning up the immediate vicinity.
• After that you can pick your strategy - either ranged gunfight or melee.
• If you choose melee, you will need to close on its position while avoiding its attacks and take it down in close range.
• For ranged tactics, you would need to bombard the devourer with a lot of damage from afar and spend a bit of time eliminating it.
