Space Marine 2 Bot Buffs, Multiplayer Balancing, and Additional Server Capacity Inbound

Hold fast, support is en route

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has been a big hit, smashing sales figures and attracting vast numbers of new adherents to the Imperial Truth. Developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment have been taking your feedback and released a Q&A outlining what the future holds for the gritty shooter.

After compiling a list of the most popular requests, some interesting things are under consideration for future patches. The top priority remains connectivity issues, with the developer announcing a ramping up of server capacity. AI bots will be slightly less passive during the campaign, and Veteran difficulty will be dialled back just a hair.

On the multiplayer front, Focus says that Chaos Space Marines Legions will remain locked to a specific class. While there are plans for additional customization options, these heretics just won't be as modular as the Loyalists ultimately. New classes are under consideration (Apothecary and Techmarine, please), as are new melee weapons, but there are no promises. Finally, a big round of balancing is planned, particularly aimed at overrepresenting the Bulwark and Heavy classes and the clearly OP Shock Grenades. Melee will likely get a buff, and the Assault class will be tweaked.

Great game, but needs a better way to regenerate health and make enemies and their attacks more readable. Things get overwhelming and you don’t know what to react to in the chaos, then get severely punished for it.

This game is so damn fun. I literally knew nothing about 40K prior to this game yet it's all I've been playing since it launched lol

Big props to the devs for dropping a super solid game without a bunch of microtransactions and FOMO battle pass nonsense tacked on to it.

@MasterChiefWiggum I agree on that. And also at times, this games is just an 'Open gates simulator', walking past empty assembly points and interacting with that door knob, again and again. Oh, and the jet packs, not very fun ...

Played and beat this a week ago and don’t see myself going back. It was a fun 7 with ok gameplay and amazing graphics but the co op isn’t deep enough to come back to and the mp is laughably anemic

In all seriousness id welcome some tweaks for operations, some of the enemies are way too bulletspongey, especially on the traitor front.

If i had one complaint about this game - the bots are stupidly dumb. Good to learn they're getting buffed

In other words, thanks to the beta testers who paid full price for the privilege, especially those who paid a premium for "early" access.
