Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2<\/a> just closed out its second year of post-release support with a one-two punch of updates. Patch 14, aka The Confrontation Update<\/a>, adds a new enemy and significantly expands the game’s PvP options. Since Confrontation’s release, a separate update<\/a> has added Steam Workshop support to Saber Interactive’s hugely successful shooter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the Confrontation update, which, as the name, suggests is heavily focussed on Space Marine 2’s PvP mode, Eternal War. Patch 14 adds two new PvP arenas, a medium-sized map called Sanctum, and Facility, which Saber describes<\/a> as “one of the most compact PvP maps” available in the game. Alongside these maps, the patch adds weekly PvP rewards, meaning you can earn cosmetics and other in-game rewards by playing matches and completing challenges.<\/p>\n

If you’re more interested in the cooperative side of Space Marine 2, then the update introduces a new enemy for players to fight\u2014the Scarab Occult Terminator Sorcerer. The Sorcerer is a tough miniboss opponent that will appear throughout the game’s Operations mode, and furnished with a wide array of abilities. He’s able to create copies of himself, teleport around the battlefield, and attack the player with a powerful laser beam. This video<\/a> gives a good overview of the Sorcerer’s moveset. It seems like he’ll provide a stern test for even the most grizzled Ultramarine.<\/p>\n
