Space Marine II Launches Tenth Anniversary Update
As Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II celebrates its first year since launch, developers have rolled out its tenth major content update. This substantial patch introduces a wealth of new features, including two fresh game modes—one for PvP and another for PvE—alongside new enemies, weapons, and arenas, offering players even more ways to dive into the grimdark future.
New Ways to Play: PvP and PvE Modes
The highlight of this anniversary update is the introduction of two exciting new game modes:
- Helbrute Onslaught (PvP): In this intense player-versus-player mode, players step into the boots of Chaos Space Marines. Two opposing teams will battle fiercely for control of key points on the map. The team that successfully captures a zone will be rewarded with the ability to deploy a playable Helbrute, randomly assigned to one of its victorious members. This adds a powerful, shifting dynamic to the combat, forcing players to adapt their strategies constantly.
- Stratagems (PvE): For those who prefer cooperative play, the new Stratagems mode offers a dynamic twist on player-versus-environment encounters. This mode introduces daily and weekly modifiers that can either simplify or significantly complicate the conditions of battle. Successfully completing these challenges will reward players with a new currency called 'Honors,' which can be spent on various new cosmetic and gameplay rewards.
More Content for All Players
Beyond the new game modes, Update 10.0 brings a host of other exciting additions and improvements:
- New Enemy: Prepare to face the terrifying Chaos Spawn, introduced in three distinct variations, each posing a unique threat to Space Marine Chapters.
- New PvE Operation: A new operation called 'Vortex' sends players back to Avarax. Their mission: to investigate and resolve issues with a stalled astropathic choir, culminating in a climactic battle against a new boss, the Mutalith Vortex Beast.
- New PvP Arena: The 'Bridge' arena on Avarax offers a fresh battleground for PvP engagements, characterized by its long corridors and narrow tunnels that promise intense, close-quarters combat.
- Expanded Arsenal: Players can now wield three new heroic-tier weapons, alongside several new variants of existing armaments, including the deadly xenophase blade, the versatile combi-melta, and the brutal double-edged chainsword.
- Free Cosmetics: A complimentary cosmetic set featuring six Chaos Champion skins has been added for the 'Eternal War' mode, allowing players to customize their look in style.
- Quality of Life: The update also includes numerous balance adjustments and quality-of-life improvements to enhance the overall gameplay experience.
