Saber has deployed Patch 10.2 for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 across all platforms. This hotfix addresses critical issues, including perks unintentionally dealing friendly-fire damage, bots struggling with elevators during Exfiltration operations, and stratagems generating more Battlefield Conditions than intended.
Alongside bug fixes, the update introduces gameplay adjustments, most notably rebalancing the Heroic Chainsword, modifying Chaos Spawn group sizes, and advancing the Sniper’s Camo Cloak activation cost change originally planned for a later update. These improvements aim to refine both PvE and PvP balance while enhancing overall player experience.
Full Patch Notes:
