Gargoyles have certain advantages over your character, such as flight and flexible maneuverability. They are extremely quick and light, which makes it even harder to aim and shoot them down. Melee weapons are next to impossible to use here, so you need to focus on ranged damage first. Gargoyles deal Toxic damage, such as spraying toxic fumes at a range or even getting up close and spewing poison. They can also release a deadly screech that can stun the player for a bit. The worst part is that Gargoyles work in groups, so you need to find ways to pick them off one by one.
Any ranged weapon will help in dealing with Gargoyles, but you need something more heavy duty for crowd control. The Bolt Rifle with the Grenade Launcher in the under barrel attachment is the best way to take them down. Also, using the Assault class’s Jump Pack ability creates an AOE that will quickly dispatch any remaining gargoyles in the area. If you spot flocks of Gargoyles nearby, just toss a grenade from your Bolt Rifle’s launcher. If you find them getting too close to you, the Bolt Rifle can still help eradicate them. Just keep your distance and dodge whenever you see them going in for the attack. Working as a team is another way to beat Gargoyles in Space Marine 2
Gargoyles can pose a challenge as you clear missions, but that shouldn’t hold you back from defeating the Tyranids for good in Space Marine 2. You can check out our other Space Marine 2 guides to know more about best class builds, best weapons, and more
