Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Receives Major Update Adding Tech-Marine and Other Content

The Emperor’s purging radiance, which scours the stars of heretics and xenos, is now wielded by an additional set of mechanical limbs.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has received a significant expansion with the release of Update 12.0, delivering a new playable class, fresh combat environments, specialized equipment, and a wealth of additional content.

The centerpiece of this update is the Techmarine, a defensive specialist engineered to stall the most relentless enemy advances. Following a series of refinements and balancing adjustments during public testing, the class arrives fully prepared for battle. Alongside the Techmarine comes the Axe of the Omnissiah, a versatile melee weapon capable of delivering devastating single-target blows and sweeping area-of-effect strikes.

Battlefields are also receiving tactical reinforcements in the form of the Tarantula Sentry Turret, a deployable defense system that Techmarines can activate during missions. Furthermore, a new PvE map takes the fight to the hive city of Avarax, where Space Marines must reinforce Cadian positions against a massive Tyranid invasion.

Beyond these additions, Update 12.0 introduces 21 new combat conditions, a Custom Stratagems mode for PvE operations, and the debut of Heroic Items. Players can also customize their warriors with the Raven Guard Champion Pack and new armor components, all while benefiting from extensive balance tweaks and technical improvements.
