Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 News

[h3]Hey everyone 👋[/h3][p]This month we’ve worked hard to release the Techmarine Update, and now it’s out! Read the patch notes here or take a look at the recap:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]In this month’s Community Update, we’re first reviewing the content of Patch 12 released yesterday including the Chapter Voice Pack I. Then, we’re hosting a giveaway to win 2 Collector’s Editions and detailing the two current in-game events with their respective rewards. And finally, we’ll address the latest ideas from Focus Together.[/p][p][/p][p]Let’s begin![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Techmarine Class[/h3][p]The new Techmarine class is here with a unique melee weapon: the Omnissian Axe, along with new perks, finishers, and new exclusive gameplay mechanics. In PvP, you get to play as the Red Corsair Warpsmith with the Heretic Power Axe.[/p][p][/p][p]It has its own playstyle, arsenal, abilities and perks. If you want to learn more about the depths of its gameplay mechanics, check this blog![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p]Praise the Omnissiah 😌[/p][p]​[/p][p]📝 Post-release note: [/p][p]We saw your feedback about the lack of armour option that the Techmarine currently has. Due to time constraints, we made the choice to focus on Techmarine’s gameplay rather on its customisation options. Rest assured, we will expand the armour options as part of future updates. The Techmarine will have access to various armour parts.[/p][p]Additionally, a hotfix is planned for next week, addressing various stability issues, as well as a bug soft-locking players in the bridge sequence in Disruption.[/p][p]
[/p][h3]New Operation - Disruption[/h3][p][/p][p]With 12.0 comes a new Operation called “Disruption”. Defend the Ecclesiarchy District from both the Tyranids and the Thousands Sons.[/p][p][/p][p]Here’s your brief for this mission:[/p][p]Combat Squad Veridian must reinforce a battalion of Cadians besieged by a Tyranid swarm, when an urgent missive from an Ecclesiarchy Priest alerts them to a Thousand Sons ritual profaning a nearby Cathedral. Both onslaughts must be disrupted to prevent a domino effect that will jeopardise concurrent operations elsewhere on Avarax.[/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel][p]
[/p][h3]SEASON PASS II Cosmetic DLC - Raven Guard Champion[/h3][p]The Raven Guard has received its second pack, with a Champion assigned to the Assault Class.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The Raven Guard Champion is associated with the Assault class. Let’s see which elements will be compatible separately with other classes:[/p]

• [p]Helm: Tactical / Assault / Vanguard / Bulwark / Sniper / Heavy[/p]
• [p]Wargear: Tactical (tabard) / Sniper (cape)[/p]
• [p]L. Pauldron: Tactical / Assault / Bulwark / Heavy [/p]
• [p]R. Pauldron: Tactical / Assault / Vanguard / Bulwark / Sniper[/p]
• [p]Chestplate: Tactical / Assault[/p]
• [p]L. Gauntlet: Tactical / Assault / Bulwark[/p]
• [p]R. Gauntlet: Tactical / Assault / Bulwark[/p]
• [p]L. Greave: Tactical (without thrusters) / Assault / Bulwark (without thrusters) [/p]
• [p]R. Greave: Tactical (without thrusters) / Assault / Bulwark (without thrusters)[/p]
• [p]Backpack: Assault[/p]

[p]And a Bolt Pistol Skin comes with it![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]SEASON PASS II Cosmetic DLC - Carcharodons Cosmetic Pack[/h3][p]The Carcharodons Cosmetic pack includes 2 Helms, 1 Left Pauldron, 1 Right Pauldron and 1 Chestplate. The armour pieces are automatically unlocked and added to your armour sets once you purchase the pack.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Hear, hear!

[/p][p]💡 Allow Players To Color Their Weapons: link[/p][p]Summary: Add a customisation option to change the colour of the weapons.[/p][p]💬 Thank you for the idea. At the moment, we want to keep the weapon colour skins as a reward for the Siege mode. However, we can confirm that more colours are coming.

[/p][p]
💡 Fix Macragge Blue and Lens Colors: link[/p][p]Summary: The Macragge Blue colour is different from Campaign to PvE/PvP.[/p][p]💬 Hi! Here's a little explanation regarding this issue: [/p][p]The reason why color is not exactly the same is because Campaign characters cannot be customized and the color scheme is set in stone. The Campaign characters are not just flat Macragge Blue, there are more advanced shading techniques applied to them that cannot be replicated in PvE and PvP game modes because of the customization. This is why Campaign characters will always look better than recoloured PvE/PvP marines. Especially lenses. Another big factor is how different lighting affects colour shading, as well as different colour correction that is unique to each area of each level. [/p][p]That being said, we will try to tweak our colours one more time to close the gap.[/p][p]
[/p][p]💡 Assault Dash Attack Improvements: link[/p][p]Summary: Various ideas to improve the Assault’s Dash Attack.[/p][p]💬 With patch 12, the Dash Attack has been greatly improved, as well as Assault in general.[/p][p]
[/p][p]💡 Stratagems: Battlefield Conditions On Screen in the Barge: link[/p][p]Summary: Make the Battlefield Conditions visible on screen in the Battle Barge without having to go to the Stratagems menu.[/p][p]💬  Thanks for the idea, it's in the works![/p][p]
[/p][p]💡 Ability to choose which bot teammates go with you on missions and additional customization: link[/p][p]Summary: More options for bots customisation.[/p][p]💬 Hello, thanks for the suggestion. However, our focus is currently on improving online aspects of the game. Playing with bots will remain a lower priority compared to online improvements.[/p][p]
[/p][p]💡 More Chapter Insignias On Knee Pads: link[/p][p]Summary: Add the option to put chapter insignias on the knees for all the other founding chapters and successor chapters.[/p][p]💬 It is planned! [/p][p]
[/p][p]💡 Special weapons for imperial guard: link[/p][p]Summary: Add more weapon variety to Imperial Guards.[/p][p]💬 This is someting we're planning to add to Siege mode.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]If you want to stay up to date with the latest news on Space Marine 2, you should follow us on our socials (Instagram, Facebook, X, Threads, Bluesky).
As always, we would like to thank you for your loyalty and unwavering support for the game. 💙

Why do they always make cyborg types in movies and games talk like that? You know what I mean, that kind of "I'm not a robot but I talk as if I am one," kind of cadence. We may never find the answer, but in any case, such a case has cropped up again in the latest update for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, which introduces the Techmarine class for you to spill some guts with.

[h2]Hear, hear Space Marines! 🗣️📣[/h2][p]
The Techmarine Update marks the release of Space Marine 2’s Chapter Voice Pack 1 adding over 1300 voicelines re-recorded in the unique styles of the Blood Angels, Space Wolves and Black Templars chapters. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]It comes with three unique Space Marine faces to be equipped and swapped onto any of the game’s classes, as faces are no longer class-locked and can now be applied to all available characters![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]For more details, check the FAQ right below![/h2][p][/p][p]❓ What is the price of the Voice Pack?[/p][p]🗨️ The Voice Pack is sold at $4,99.[/p][p]
[/p][p]❓ How many voice lines are contained in the Voice Pack?[/p][p]🗨️ It will contain over 450 voicelines per Chapter, dubbed in the 7 audio languages already supported by the game, and introduce unique lines based on the Chapter (for example, the Space Wolf will shout “For the Allfather” instead of the usual “For the Emperor”) and your Space Marine will shout these new lines. Same goes for the Social Wheel emotes.[/p][p]And for those who may be wondering: We’re happy to confirm that each and every one of this Voice Pack’s 1300+ total voice lines were performed by a real voice actor, as our commitment to quality remains absolute.[/p][p][/p][p]Voice Actors (english):[/p]

• [p]Thomas Mitchells (Blood Angels)[/p]
• [p]Andrew James Spooner (Space Wolves)[/p]
• [p]Kris W. Laudrum (Black Templars)[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]❓ What do they sound like? Can I get a sneak peek?[/p][p]🗨️ Sure! Here is one snippet per Chapter:[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]❓ Are there individual Packs? Or, are the 3 heads tied in the same Pack?[/p][p]🗨️ The Voice Pack comes with a set of three new heads for PvE. All three heads (Space Wolf, Blood Angel, Black Templars) are part of the same Voice Pack. They cannot be sold separately.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]❓ Can I equip one Chapter’s head with another Chapter’s voice?[/p][p]🗨️ Yes, you can equip one Chapter’s head with another Chapter’s voice. Voices and heads aren’t tied together.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]❓ Is the Voice Pack Class-Specific? For example: is the Space Wolf for Vanguard only?[/p][p]🗨️ No, they aren’t class-restricted. You will hear the new voice lines regardless of the Class you’ve picked.[/p][p]
[/p][p]❓ Will other Chapters get a Voice Pack in the future?[/p][p]🗨️ Absolutely! A second Voice Pack is in the making. We’ll reveal which Chapters will receive it, later this year. Stay tuned! [/p][p]
[/p][p]❓ Will the original heads that are in the game now be interchangeable as well?[/p][p]🗨️ Yes.[/p]
