The third-person action game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 received the previously promised first major update, which added new content and made many changes to balance and gameplay.
The game has a new cooperative operation, Termination, which takes place on the planet Kadaku. Here you will meet new, even more dangerous enemies. Artillery can be used to destroy them. In addition, a new “Lethal” difficulty level has been added, in which you can only replenish ammo a limited number of times, enemies can become enraged, and armor can only be restored near allies. Successfully completing this challenge will unlock new cosmetic items.
In addition, the developers have made changes to the balance. Melee weapons now have the same perfect parry duration, and the skills for Chainsword, Energy Fist, and Combat Knife deal more damage. At the same time, Auspex’s damage against bosses has been reduced by 30%, and Melta Charge’s damage has been reduced by 70%.
The developers also changed the enemy spawning system in PvE, adding more variety between waves, and made higher difficulties more difficult by reducing players’ armor. For PvP, weapon and attack mechanics have been improved, and more customization options have been added for the chaos side. More colors and decals are now available in the game, including new ones for the right shoulder of characters.
Among other things, the update includes various bug fixes, animations and performance improvements.
