The latest update for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, titled Patch 7.0 “Trygon Update,” introduces a substantial range of new content, gameplay improvements, and balance adjustments aimed at refining both player-versus-environment (PvE) and player-versus-player (PvP) modes. Highlighted by a new boss encounter, prestige progression mechanics, and class-specific refinements, the patch further cements the game’s evolving post-launch roadmap.
At the forefront of this update is a new PvE mission titled Exfiltration, which challenges players to eliminate a formidable Trygon on the Avarax map while securing a rogue Tech-Priest. A Prestige Rank system has also been implemented for PvE, allowing players to reset class progress at level 25 and earn additional perks and cosmetics. Each Prestige Rank grants a 10 percent XP bonus, encouraging replayability and long-term engagement. The update also debuts private PvP lobbies, enabling players to tailor match settings such as time limits and damage modifiers, providing greater control over competitive play.
Weaponry sees meaningful additions and revisions, with the Inferno Pistol introduced as a new secondary option for several classes. Weapon perks have undergone significant rebalancing, enhancing consistency and adding strategic depth. Furthermore, the developers have adjusted class mechanics—most notably the Assault class—improving mobility and health regeneration. The patch includes technical enhancements for stability, matchmaking adjustments, and new customization options such as expanded color palettes and visual upgrades for specific armor sets. Season Pass holders receive additional Chapter Packs, expanding cosmetic choices for both the Space Wolves and Imperial Fists.
