The majority of the campaign inWarhammer 40K: Space Marine 2involves landing in a Tyranid-infested zone and using your arsenal of weapons to tear your way through the alien bugs. However, the game may sometimes put you in scenarios where you’ll be compelled to focus on more than just shooting Tyranids,such as ensuring your survival or protecting an objective from alien attacks.
A similar situation occurs towards the end of theSkyfire mission, the first formal mission inSpace Marine 2, where you’re tasked with defending four antennas from gargoyle swarms.

If you’ve been stuck trying to accomplish this objective, the following guide offers strategies and tips on how to survive the Tyranid assault and successfully complete the mission.
