Space Marine 2 Hotfix Adjusts Weapons and Fixes PvP Issues

by Ali Haider

Space Marine 2 has deployed Hotfix 11.1, introducing a focused set of gameplay tuning adjustments and stability fixes across several systems. Heavy Bolt Rifle variants receive a notable damage increase to bring scoped versions in line with previous balance updates, while the Heroic Heavy Bolt Pistol benefits from corrected hip fire behavior. Additional improvements raise the melee bonus on the Sanctified Wrath Reliquary, ensuring the item performs more reliably in close combat situations.

The update also addresses an impactful PvP issue where Assault players could unintentionally deliver one-shot dash attacks with any melee weapon. Alongside these changes, players will find refinements to item sorting, various UI and localization corrections, adjustments to map geometry, and several crash fixes aimed at improving overall stability.
