Best Melee Weapon

In Space Marine 2, melee combat is very important and gives rewards like health and armor for killing enemies up close and landing perfect parries. Blocking damage only protects you but doesn’t offer any rewards. So, using the Fencing skill on melee weapons is a top priority for players.

When you land a perfect parry, it leaves enemies open for a powerful gunshot with your sidearm pistol. These shots do more damage and can either finish off enemies or set them up for a finishing move if they're weak. Playing aggressively and mastering perfect parries is easier and more rewarding than just blocking attacks.
