Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, from Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Entertainment, has a small hotfix labeled Patch Notes 10.1. The update was applied to every platform and adjusts daily Stratagem rewards while addressing a disappearing Trygon and multiple gameplay and stability issues.
The most visible change is a direct increase to the awards players get from daily Stratagems: normal and hard missions now grant higher Accolades, intended to make those runs more worthwhile. The update also fixes the Trygon Prime bug that could remove the boss from the arena during Stratagem missions. Several melee and weapon tweaks landed in PvE and PvP, including widened Power Axe whirlwinds and a higher hip-fire rate for the Multi-Melta in PvP.
There are also several quality-of-life and stability improvements, including customisation fixes, corrected Armoury rewards for specific missions, crash fixes, and localization adjustments. Known issues remain, notably a bug where more than four Battlefield Conditions can appear in a Stratagem mission interface; a hotfix is planned to limit that selection to four. The developer published the full patch notes in the official announcement.
