Start this Boltgun 2 guide by choosing Malum Caedo for toughness or Nyra Veyrath for speed: you keep that character throughout the single-player campaign. Your choice determines your weapons and movement abilities in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2. Next, plan your campaign branches, because one playthrough cannot visit every level. If you want every trophy, prepare to finish with both characters and take opposite routes at all three splits.
