In late July, Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment announced the release of the major update 14.0 “The Confrontation Update” for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. The developers implemented balance changes in PvE, PvP, AI director's work (enemy spawn), and also showcased new content.
The developers prepared a couple of PvP maps — Sanctum and Facility, as well as weekly rewards for participating in PvP. In addition, they introduced 6 heroic weapons — hammer, axe, bolter, rifle, sword, power fist.
A new enemy, the Scarab Occult Terminator Sorcerer from the Thousand Sons legion, also appeared. He uses powerful magic for close and long-range combat and can also create illusions.
Some classes received a third equipment slot, allowing them to wear a tabard and a cloak simultaneously. Work on the system continues, and changes will affect other builds as well.
The creators of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 released a special trailer in honor of the July update's release:
