Saber Interactive rolls out another Space Marine 2 update that introduces a handful of new features and many gameplay tweaks, among other novelties.
According to a recent Reddit post, Mark 6 and Mark 7 pattern Astartes helmets have been datamined from Warhammer 40:000 Space Marine 2. As Saber Interactive’s shooter is set in the canon’s ongoing Era Indomitus, Space Marines depicted in the game are Primaris who use variations of the latest Mark 10 Tacticus power armor. The Mark 6, named Corvus after the powerful Primarch of the Raven Guard, was more common during the days of the tragic Horus Heresy, but it remains popular among fans partly due to its distinct “beaky” helmet. Meanwhile, the Mark 7 Aquila and its Mark 8 Errant upgrade were the most prevalent Space Marine power armor patterns in the Warhammer 40,000 series prior to the introduction of the Primaris.

It also tweaked AI behavior, rebalanced weapons, and changed several parameters for the game’s campaign.
