Who is Stronger? Darktide Crew or Titus and his Marines?

[Hexagoros]

If we accept what we see on screen at face value (no accounting for plot armor, developer intent, or skewed power levels), such that “what we see is what is actually happening” – who do you think is stronger?

The Darktide Crew or Titus and his Marines?

[randir14]

Darktide, they have more health and shields and their weapons feel more powerful. You can take down an armored Ogryn with one charged plasma shot or a few bolter rounds. Meanwhile in Space Marine 2 it feels like you're shooting paintballs.

The guys in Darktide stand next to a tree of Nurgle and don't even get the sniffles. Space Marines would quake at their mere presense.

in game, darktide crew by a mile. hell even a single darktide character would destroy titus and his crew. space marines in this game a super squishy

[Helldiver Dewey]

Bro, in space marine 2 you can run through traitor guardsmen and they turn to pink mist. No question the ultramarines would smash the darktide crew.

Don't forget that power of Ogryn's rock from Darktide, would completely erase whole utrasmurf chapter from canon.

There is no plot armor. Only the will of the Emperor.

With how clunky combat is. and how weak it makes marines feel. Darktide crew would wipe the floor with them. Lore wise Marines obviously, gameplay though. Darktide crew hands down.

This. I dont think the marines can kill a single psyker. (I know nothing about the lore but this game really do treat the marines as the weakest form of soldiers in a starcraft game if I was to compare them to one)

Dude, those living tanks, who weigh a cool 1,5 metric tons in power armor, do casual flying dodge rolls. They would probably squish the Darktide characters simply by dodging in their direction.

IDK man those weak ass alien hordes can kill you in 6 hits assuming you have 3 armor plates on the 2nd highest difficulty.

EDIT: doesnt take a genius to figure out their armor is literal paper.

Eh...really? The Darktide Crew regularly take Chaos Ogryn overheads to the skull and walk it off, and get tackled by Chaos Spawn. Why would a Marine's dodge suddenly end them?

Titus alone could body every Darktide class with one arm and a leg missing while sipping tea with his free hand.
Heck, a Scout Marine could do the same.

That's a big if. And that is as bad for the Darktide Crew as for the Astartes.

But doesn't the Darktide crew regularly take on D-hosts?

Its host for lesser deamons, maybe plague bearier or something. If it was Unclean One it was sector level danger, min-mid scale warp interferrence and marine chapter rapidly moving to planet. Or inquisitor with more stuff than simple recruited prisoners

[Portico]

Darktide crew has a far higher kill count despite their short lifespans. And they go up against far greater threats than Titus and his squad.

Their armor is "weak" because Tyranids repiadly evolve to counter threats, so they can tear apart even Space Marines pretty quickly if they're not careful.

And the Darktide Ogryn can duel a Chaos Spawn with a latrine shovel. True story! Actual ♥♥♥♥ shovel to the head from the Darktide Ogryn kills the Chaos Spawn.

And Nurgle constantly evolves his diseases, and yet the Darktide Crew breaths it all in.
