Our Space Marine will be able to do a lot more and go very Absolute in the latest update for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
Here we go with yet another update for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 for us all to enjoy. The Datavault update is here and it sounds like Saber Interactive is giving us so many new challenges and gear to rock in the game as of right now. As long as you already have Space Marine 2 installed on your PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC that is. If you do, then you will have this fun little update ready for you when you are able to hop back onto your system. If not, then it will be coming to you as soon as you choose to pick up the full version of the game and give it all a solid play out there. It does look like we are going to have a whole lot more to play around with out there.
Just as with other updates, the Datavault update will bring us a lot of new and free things for Space Marine 2. A new map for the PvP and other operations to undergo being some of the chief among them. Then there are all of those cosmetics that make every gamer out there swoon so they can dress their characters up as they so wish. Along with that, there is the new Absolute Difficulty for the game that will round out all of the difficulty modes that we will have. As if our Space Marine did not already have it rough before, we need a whole new level of pain to endure out there. It is what it is and I am sure that you masochists out there will truly fall in love with it and enjoy a game being hard just for the sake of being hard. You know who you are and what you have been asking for out there…
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 — Datavault Update
New challenges and rewards in the Datavault, new map in Eternal War & Biovore in Operations, Raven Guard and Salamanders, and “Absolute” Difficulty are all here!! ⭐
The Datavault Update brings more free content and much-requested quality-of-life improvements to all players whilst granting Season Pass owners with evermore cosmetics to customize their Space Marines.
New challenges and rewards await in the Datavault!
Directly accessible through the Armory, today’s main addition comes in the form of the Datavault, a brand-new Battle-Barge chamber where Tech-Priests collect and store intel on the many enemies of the Imperium. By completing Ordeals, players will accumulate Research Data that they’ll be able to trade for Requisition Points and new cosmetics like pauldron markings, weapon skins (Thunder Hammer, Auto Bolt Rifle), and even new armor pieces (breastplate, gauntlet).
A new map comes to PvP while the Biovore invades Operations mode
With today’s update, Eternal War mode gets its first new PvP map since launch with the Necron-themed “Tomb” map.
Operations players, meanwhile, will need to keep an eye out for the new Tyranid Biovore, a devastating Majoris enemy able to deal damage both from afar and up close.
Season Pass brings the Raven Guard and Salamanders
In addition to these new challenges, Season Pass owners today receive the Raven Guard Cosmetic Pack and the Salamanders Champion Pack. The first comes with the iconic, fan-favorite Mark VI “Corvus” helmet and over 40 cosmetics to celebrate the Raven Guard Successor Chapters, while the latter brings a new Champion skin for the Sniper class and an exclusive Bolt Sniper Rifle skin.
“Absolute” difficulty now available, amidst huge QoL improvements
Besides its free and Season Pass content, “Datavault” also delivers the sixth and final difficulty setting, aptly named “Absolute,” as well as significant quality-of-life features for PC and console players alike. These include the addition of an opt-in/opt-out Crossplay feature in PvP matches, an FOV slider on PC, a number of tweaks to class perks, and a “currency exchange,” allowing players to trade their Armoury Data for rarer tiers or even Requisition Points!
Will you be putting your Space Marine through more of their paces out there with the new mode or will you be sticking to the ones that you are used to? How difficult will the new operations be in the mix and will we have all the reasons to play further dress up with our characters in the game? How do you feel about the new map that we saw teased in the video above and will it become your favorite in the game as soon as you are able to dive right in? Drop on down to the comment section to discuss all of that and everything else out there for the game. We know there is still a bit more for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 to drop in here, so we will keep on adding it to the site and our socials as soon as we get it. Please keep on checking in for all of that and everything else that is on the way out there.
