Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Receives Major Update, Adding Techmarine and Other Content to the Game

Now the Emperor's light, burning heretics and xenos, is carried by an additional pair of mechanical arms.

A major update 12.0 has become available for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, which adds a new class, combat conditions, equipment and other content to the game.

The main feature of the update is the new playable class — the Techmarine. This is a defense specialist capable of effectively containing enemy onslaughts. As part of the public test, the class received a number of changes, including fixes and balance tweaks. Along with the Techmarine, a new weapon has been added to the game — the Omnissian Axe. This battle axe deals damage to both single targets and groups of enemies around.

In addition, the game features a stationary Tarantula turret, which Techmarines can activate during missions, and a PvE map that transfers events to the territory of the Avarax hive city, where Space Marines will have to strengthen the defenses of the Cadians, repelling a large-scale Tyranid invasion.

Update 12.0 includes 21 new combat conditions, Custom Stratagems mode for PvE, and Heroic Items. In addition, the Raven Guard Champion Pack cosmetic set, new armor elements, balance tweaks, and numerous fixes are available to players.
