About Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 continues the brutal, fast‑paced shooter experience of its predecessor, delivering a single‑player campaign that blends the grim Warhammer 40K setting with high‑octane FPS action. Players choose between two protagonists, each with distinct combat tools, and travel through varied locales such as hive‑city heights, mangrove swamps, and the Ark of Omen.
The game expands its arsenal with chainswords, shotguns and flamers while introducing new enemy types from the four Chaos gods. Features like full controller support, adjustable difficulty, navigation tools and Steam Cloud aim to keep combat fluid and accessible across the branching campaign.
01 / THE GUIDE
Playable Characters
Two protagonists are available: Malum Caedo, a Sternguard Veteran famed for relentless heretic purging, and Nyra Veyrath, a Sister of Battle noted for swift, fiery assaults. Each character brings a unique set of weapons and combat style to the campaign.
Choosing a character determines the tools and tactics you will employ throughout the branching levels, influencing how you engage the Chaos‑aligned foes and navigate each environment.
- Try both characters early to see which combat rhythm aligns with your preferences.
- Notice how each character’s weapon loadout affects early enemy encounters.

Branching Campaign
The single‑player story unfolds through a branching structure, allowing players to select different paths that lead to unique levels. Each branch presents its own set of environments and challenges.
The chosen route determines which locations and enemy encounters you will face, with each branch featuring its own unique levels.
- Take note of the path you choose; different branches reveal distinct worlds.
- Re‑play the campaign using alternate branches to experience all unique levels.

Weapon Arsenal
Players can wield a lethal chainsword, a shotgun that creates pixel‑filled explosions, and a flamer that spews liquid fire. The arsenal expands as the game progresses, matching the increasing difficulty of foes.
Weapon choice influences how quickly you can eliminate enemies from the four Chaos god factions, offering tactical options for different combat scenarios.
- Switch weapons to match enemy groupings; flamers excel against tightly packed foes.
- Experiment with each weapon as it becomes available to gauge its effectiveness.
04 / THE GUIDE
Enemy Factions
The game pits you against enemies aligned with the four Chaos gods: Nurgle, Tzeentch, Khorne and Slaanesh. New foes include Bloodletters, Daemonic Juggernauts and Daemonettes, each with distinct combat behaviours.
Facing these varied adversaries requires adapting tactics, as some charge aggressively while others rely on sonic weaponry or agile movement.
- Identify an enemy’s faction to anticipate its attack pattern.
- Prioritise high‑damage weapons against tough foes such as the daemonic Juggernauts.
