It's been a great year for glorious, chaos-filled co-op games, with Space Marine 2 following in the footsteps of Helldivers 2 to unleash a barrage of bug-blasting business upon us all. It quickly earned itself a place among the best Warhammer 40k games, and developer Saber Interactive has continued to push updates and additions since launch. Its latest such instalment is due in the next couple of weeks, and it's looking packed. Set for "the first half of December," Space Marine 2 update 5.0 will bring the long-awaited Dark Angels Chapter Pack to the game alongside a new operation and an essential customization upgrade.

Space Marine 2 performance is about to take a huge leap on Nvidia and AMD GPUs
This year's surprise mega-hit, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, is getting a patch that should improve performance on every level of PC. The game's developer has confirmed that Patch 5.0 will not only add support for frame generation on Nvidia GeForce GPUs, but also AMD Radeon graphics cards.
Frame generation tech works by inserting extra frames between the frames rendered by your GPU, smoothing out the frame rate. In this case, the Xenos-smashing epic will get frame generation from both Nvidia and AMD. Nvidia DLSS will only work on the company's graphics cards, but AMD's FSR tech will work on practically any current GPU. As such, you can also expect to see some of the best gaming handhelds getting a big boost in Space Marine 2 performance.

November Community Update
[h2]Greetings Space Marines![/h2]
The end of the year is approaching, to celebrate this wonderful year that has brought so much joy to us and to the players, we have a few surprises for you! ⭐
[h3]But first, let’s recap the past month a bit! [/h3]
On November 12 we released Patch 4.5. This update was important as it brought a brand new weapon: The Neo-Volkite Pistol, as well as loads of balancing tweaks on several weapons (Plasma Incinerator / Bolt Sniper Rifle / Occulus Bolt Carbine / Bolt Carbine (SMG) / Auto Bolt Rifle).
To read the entire patch note, click here.
How cool is it? 😎
Note that the Neo-Volkite Pistol will be available in PvP starting from the 5.0 update.
As for every month, we keep reading your feedback closely, and reviewing the ideas submitted onto Focus Together! There’s more and more each week, which gives us plenty of ideas to work with! We want to thank you for that. We keep reviewing them but it takes time!
To see the answers devs have already provided, check it here.
[h2]WE REACHED 5 MILLION PLAYERS![/h2]
5 million Space Marines have joined our ranks to purge Xenos & Chaos! 🎉

[h2]SECRET LEVEL EVENT[/h2]

A new trailer dropped to tease the upcoming episode.
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
The series will start on December 10. One episode will be fully dedicated to Warhammer 40,000. Stay tuned, it’s gonna be epic! 💥
[h2]PATCH 5.0[/h2]
The 5.0 update will be released in the first half of December! This update contains the very much awaited Dark Angels Chapter Pack, alongside another Operation: Obelisk.
The Dark Angels Chapter Pack features the Dark Angels Champion, which is a unique armour set and banner for the Bulwark Class.
Please note that this set can’t be customised
Three weapons will also receive exclusive visuals based on the Dark Angels Chapter: the Auto Bolt Rifle, the Plasma Pistol and the Power Sword. The Bulwark class will also get a unique Dark Angels Storm Shield.
The Dark Angels Chapter Pack includes the heraldry items of the Second Foundings and Successor Chapters of the Dark Angels: the Angels of Absolution, the Angels of Redemption, the Angels of Vengeance, the Unnamed, the Blades of Vengeance, the Cowled Wardens, the Bringers of Judgement and the Angels of Defiance.
New armour pieces will also be added, including a fan-favourite helmet: the Mark VIII Ravenwing! All these items will be available to unlock as part of an heraldry cosmetic.
Last addition to the customisation menu, the colour lenses are finally here! Choose among 15 different colours to customise your Space Marine even more!
This update does not only bring new customisation, a new Operation will also be added! Called “Obelisk”, you’ll be sent to Demerium and your mission is to rotate a replica of the obelisk to disrupt the flow of energy protecting the Aurora device. This operation takes place in parallel to the final events of the campaign.
To reach the console control of the obelisk, you’ll have to make it through a tomb plunged into darkness. To make your progression even tougher, the Chaos forces see a new addition to their roster: the Tzaangor Enlightened, a new Majoris enemy! They will now appear in every PvE Operation with Chaos.
Finally, on tech side, 5.0 update will bring Frame generation support with the integration of DLSS 3 and FSR 3.1.
