Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 Gameplay
Boltgun 2’s gameplay formula builds on the retro first-person shooter goodness of the original, leaning heavily into straightforward, action-packed battles across fairly sizeable maps.
Malum Caedo brings a deadly arsenal and abilities to each mission, using them to deliver swift, brutal justice to heretical and daemonic opponents alike.
His iconic bolter and chainsword make a return, allowing us to blow up and shred to pieces Nurglings and Chaos Cultists. These familiar foes get aid from Khorne’s minions, as Bloodletters and Juggernauts count among the new enemies taking to the field.
Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath joins Caedo as a nimbler playable character, wielding holy flame against the Imperium’s enemies.
