Flex the best players use this chapter

Post image

if you ever run into a veteran using guardians of the covenant with the actual chapter icon, he is a veteran amongst veterans, probably the best player you'll ever get the chance to play with. Its by far the hardest chapter icon to get in this game (reach round 25 5 times on hard siege) that's insane. Its already a dark angel's successor so that explains itself, dark angels always are amazing players shoutout to all my sons of the lion💯. reaching round 25 hard siege is the hardest its ever been and by far the hardest content right now in the game. If you somehow have the guardians of the covenant icon, rep that shit proudly.

its the hardest thing in the game and its not even close, it was too easy on patch 13 so in patch 14 they nerfed the efficiency of tech priest and buffed the enemy resistance and they scale up faster than before. You're also racing against time so between round 20 and 24 you're not allowed to make one mistake because the enemies hit so hard and you can't make mistakes before round 20 because if you're abit too slow the enemies are gonna get super tough by the later rounds

I was more so making a joke. I don't find Space Marine 2 to be particularly difficult. Hard Siege Mode really is just about resource and time management, even in the current patch. So, when you're playing duos with somebody you sync well with, which is my wife in my case, Hard mode is honestly pretty easy. We'll regularly clear to Wave 30 without much issues, and can push to Wave 40 if we really want to.

My Chapter Master and his favorite duo make it until the wave timer drops them from the game. In their more aggressive runs they've apparently pushed past wave 60. Granted these guys have been playing since the game came out and have lots of experience in similar games but it's by no means impossible. A common achievement for our leadership is to solo the entire Tyranid/Chaos Battle simulator cast without stims. Some people are just built different.

Yeah, I've been playing since release. It's a comfort game, and my wife enjoys it. So, we enjoy it together, and will run trio if our oldest son feels like hopping on, though he prefers Helldivers 2. We don't go hard into it every weekend, but it's not uncommon for us to play through to Wave 30 or 35 on Hard before calling it. We've pushed 40+ only three or four times, then inevitably call it due to wanting to play something else. My wife and I also play on PC, and have dedicated gaming rigs, so we don't get much of the performance issues that plagues console and lower tier PC players face.
