How to change class in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2

When you fire up Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 for the first time, you may be confused about how and when you can pick and change your class in the game. So, to eliminate any confusion on the matter, this is what you need to know.

How to pick your class in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2

To pick your class in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, you must complete the tutorial mission. Once you get through the ropes of the game and get to the Battle Barge for the first time, you should receive a message that says “Online play is available now”.

With that message, you can now go to the Strategium which is where you’d talk to Acheran in the Campaign. You can also go to the Launch Bay if you’re not here. At either place, you can interact with the console which will bring up the Battle Map. 

If you switch to either Operations or Eternal War, you will be shown a menu asking if you want to switch modes, simply say yes. You’ll then be told to choose a class you want to play. Don’t worry, you are not locked into your class by picking any of these.

Some classes may be unavailable based on when you join a lobby. If you join a lobby in progress, some classes may already be chosen. Be wary of that if you’re maining a particular class.

How to change class in Space Marine 2

If you want to change your class in Space Marine 2, head over to the Armouring Hall room. You can fast-travel here before mission selection and when a mission is set. 

While you’re customizing your Marine in this room, your last selected class will be the one you will equip. 

For example, if you want to run the Bulwark class, hit back while on this menu. When you’re finished customizing your armor and loadout, do not switch to another class or you will swap to them when you exit the customization.
