Combat Knife for Tactical Class

[็]

i plan on getting the game when it comes out but from what ive seen the tactical marine does not have access to combat knife, from the lore i understand standard marines have a bolt gun and combat knife, i know the primaris marines use the bolt rifle instead, but do they still have combat knife as standard melee in lore and if they do can it be an option to use it as a tactical ingame

No, they do not all have tactical knives.

They have "close combat weapon". It doesn't have to be a knife. Granted it usually is, but doesn't have to be and that's why they named it "close combat weapon" in the rules. It could be a club, axe, whatever. Just any unpowered close combat weapon is all it represents.

Same thing with power weapons other than power fists and thunder hammers. Now it's just generically "power weapon" so you can model it with whatever type of weapon you desire.

No they don't. Vanguard have "heirloom weapons"

and Eliminators have "close combat weapon".

Edit: kek you meant in game not tabletop. May have wanted to specify that when we clearly are talking about 2 separate things.

this guy asks if the tactical class in this game has a combat knife. Titus has a combat knife, chain sword, power sword and hammer, and in coop, where there are 6 classes, only the sniper and vanguard have a combat knife
