“Thank you thank you thank you…”: Space Marine 2’s First Major Content Update Includes Much-Requested Feature You’ll Be Jumping Straight on to Try Out
Space Marine 2 received its first major content update with numerous new features added to the game, along with some old ones that got nerfed.
- Space Marine 2's update has been launched with exciting new features added to the game.
- While the game has received multiple new things to explore, the Photo Mode has drawn the attention.
- The game even nerfed multiple weapons and equipment to balance the gameplay.
Saber Interactive’s Warhammer 40K game has taken the gaming world by storm. Even before the game was released, it was pretty much guaranteed that Space Marine 2 would break all previous records. Turning it true, the game has created a new milestone for the future instalments of this series to reach. This popularity is still intact and looks like the latest update will give it a further boost.
With the release of the roadmap, Saber Interactive promised to bring new content and cosmetic items to the game after the initial release. Additionally, it assured that changes will be implemented depending on the feedback. It appears like the developer didn’t lie to the fans.
Space Marine 2 Fans Received the First Major Update With the Most Demanded Feature Added to the Game
As the trailers of the game showed and Saber Interactive promised, Space Marine 2 was released with almost all the features that players expected from the game. However, it was impossible to make it perfect; therefore, a few things were left and players included them in the wishlist that, according to them, will make it a potent Game of the Year contender.
Well, Saber Interactive has granted their wish sooner than expected and brought the first major content update to the game. Like other updates, this one also added and altered multiple aspects, but among them, one has drawn the entire attention of the fans, and that’s the addition of Photo Mode in the Operations mode, which will only be applicable for solo players.
In Solo mode, players can create a private lobby and play with bots to enjoy this Photo Mode. The most interesting part is that characters can now follow the camera with their eyes. The overwhelmed reactions of fans show that they have been waiting for this feature for a long time.
While this has attracted loads of praise from the community, there are some changes that fans found disgusting.
Saber Interactive Has Started Nerfing Weapons From the First Major Content Update
Space Marine 2 initially promised to bring a lot of new stuff in later patches. Though it didn’t include all of them in the initial update, it has brought a new difficulty level called Lethal, which is a merciless difficulty because of its limited ammo crate refill and more challenging enemies.
While this has already made the game challenging enough and players more helpless in front of the Tyranid forces, this first major update has nerfed multiple weapons and equipment. According to the developer, these are added to balance the gameplay.
Fencing weapons’ perfect parry window got nerfed, and from now on, it will be the same as the balanced weapons. However, it will start from the first frame of the parry animation.
Among others, the Basic Auspex Scan bonus damage on bosses is reduced by 30%, and the Melta Charge damage to bosses is nerfed by 70%.
In the Ruthless difficulty, players’ armor is reduced by 15%, while the ammo crate refill also got limited.
