What Is Heavy Stance & How To Use It In Space Marine 2
Heavy Stance is only used by the Heavy Class and is done every time they aim down the sights. By holding the aim button, your Space Marine will plant their feet and enter Heavy Stance. This is the only time the gun’s reticle will appear, and is by far the best and only time players should be using any ammo in this class.
While in Heavy Stance, you can only slowly walk in any direction and use the Iron Halo ability. Performing any action other than activating Iron Halo will take you out of Heavy Stance. Due to the accuracy increase in Heavy Stance, players should almost always be using it when playing as the Heavy class, making any upgrade that benefits Heavy Stance incredibly useful.
Some actions such as throwing a grenade or trying to melee, even though they don’t have a melee weapon, will break you out of Heavy Stance faster than usual, making sure you’re not stuck while using this stance. That being said it is often recommended to stay in Heavy Stance and take advantage of the perks listed below to make the most out of any situation.
Heavy Stance greatly increases the fire rate and accuracy of Heavy weapons.
