Space Marine 2 Hotfix 14.1 Details Heroic Weapon Changes

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Hotfix 14.1 focuses on Heroic weapon tuning, the Scarab Occult Terminator Sorcerer, and a collection of progression, Workshop, and crash fixes. The Steam announcement for Hotfix 14.1 also includes a small round of customization fixes.

The weapon adjustments touch four Heroic options. The Stalker Bolt Rifle’s auspex scan now takes three body shots instead of four and reaches 10 metres rather than 8. The Combi-Flamer gets a shorter flamer charge time, 10% more bolter-barrel damage, and ammo crate support for its flamer ammunition. The Combi-Melta can once again replenish its melta ammunition from an Ammo Crate, while the Heroic Power Fist can fire a melta blast after one hold-stance charge.

The Scarab Occult Terminator Sorcerer also receives two combat changes aimed at giving players more time to react. Its follow-up double beam attack has a longer delay, and its teleport ability deals much less damage. The general fixes cover Battlefield Conditions, Tactical’s Kraken Penetrator Rounds perk, Ordeals, Siege Mode progression, Steam Workshop server-side mods, and crashes.

Hotfix 14.1 follows Patch 14.0’s new PvP maps and its Thousand Sons content, with the latest notes concentrating on balance and cleanup rather than new content.
