Those who love to play Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and those who plan to pick it up in the future, will be happy to hear that the game has received another free update. This one — which is called the Techmarine Update — is pretty massive, too.
For starters, this free update adds a new class called — you guessed it — the Techmarine.
“The Techmarine finally joins the ranks of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2! Available now for all PvE and PvP Modes (Operations, Stratagems, Siege and Eternal War), the Techmarine is an expert in crowd control and area defense thanks to its unique loadout and powerful automated weapons bolted directly to its armor. In PvP modes, this new class will take on the colors of the Red Corsair Warpsmith.
Techmarines come equipped with a brand-new, exclusive weapon, the Omnissian Axe, letting them make good use of their sweeping melee attacks to cut down Tyranids and Thousand Sons alike. As for all available classes, new Techmarine players will be able to choose from 25 available perks to customize their playstyles and maximize damage in the name of the Emperor.”
It also adds new cosmetics:
“Today’s update is accompanied by the usual set of Season Pass 2 cosmetics! The Raven Guard returns with a Champion Pack adding a new full-body armor skin for the Assault class and a unique Bolt Pistol skin inspired by their iconography. The Carcharodons receive their very first armor pieces with two pauldrons, two helmets and an exclusive chestplate celebrating the mysterious yet beloved prowlers of the outer dark.”
Plus, new voice lines, and a PvE mission.
“Patch 12 also marks the release of Space Marine 2’s Chapter Voice Pack 1, adding over 1,300 voicelines re-recorded in the unique styles of the Blood Angels, Space Wolves and Black Templars chapters. It comes with three unique Space Marine faces to be equipped and swapped onto any of the game’s classes, as faces are no longer class-locked and can now be applied to all available characters!”
