Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s first public test server is now live, and with it comes an early look at the long-awaited Update 7.0 and its associated patch notes.
In a community post, publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive said these preliminary patch notes for the PTS version include “most” of the 7.0 update features. But the final 7.0 patch notes will “probably differ” as the development team is still working on bug fixes.
Still, there is a huge amount to dig into for PC players of Space Marine 2 who are in the PTS (it’s not available on console). For a start, Update 7.0 adds a new PvE mission, called Exfiltration, a new secondary weapon (Inferno Pistol for the Vanguard, Sniper, and Heavy classes), the endgame-focused prestige ranks in PvE, and private PvP lobbies.
There are exciting customization additions for Warhammer 40,000 fans, too, including new colors (Volupus Pink and Thousand Sons Blue), Bulwark cloth recoloring, hands recoloring, and customization rewards increased by 50% in PvP. The PTS adds an Imperial Fists Champion skin for the Tactical class, and a Space Wolves Champion for the Vanguard class.
There are some significant balance changes, too, headlined by an extended weapon arsenal in PvE which means all classes now have a larger weapon choice. Yes, that means the Assault class can finally use the Power Sword without mods. It’s worth checking the patch notes below to see all the tweaks to Space Marine 2’s many weapons.
Here’s a welcome change: on the Inferno Operation, if a player reaches the assembly area in the final stage of the level, the other players will be forcefully teleported there after some time (they will receive a notification about the teleportation after 1:30 and will be teleported 15 seconds later). Since launch, Space Marine 2 has had a griefing problem where players can remain outside the assembly area indefinitely, blocking progress for others.
Last month, the Space Marine 2 developers teased the upcoming Horde mode, and stamped out live service game talk amid a backlash to ‘FOMO’ Community Events. Earlier this year, Saber addressed growing frustration over a lack of content and outlined what players can expect from Space Marine 2 in the coming months.
