Recent investigations into the files of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 following the impactful patch 3.0 have unveiled potential upcoming armor customization options. Among these new additions is a highly anticipated helmet that has generated a lot of buzz among fans.
Images showcasing the Mark 6 Corvus and Mark 7 Aquila Astartes helmets surfaced on a community platform, indicating that Saber Interactive may be planning to broaden the customization options for Space Marines beyond the current Mark 10 Tacticus power armor. Set in the ongoing Indomitus Era of Warhammer 40,000, Space Marine 2 features Primaris marines, focusing on the latest armor designs from the tabletop game. However, the discovery implies that classic favorites might soon make a comeback, with particular excitement surrounding the iconic “beaky” helmet associated with the Raven Guard chapter.
Additionally, a user on the community site discovered several images within the game’s files suggesting that new customization options will arrive in the upcoming October patch and coincide with Season 2’s launch. The images reveal a variety of weapon skins, the beloved beaky helmet once more, and winged Dark Angels helmets alongside their new armor design. Furthermore, there is a glimpse of a Salamanders Sniper Rifle skin, which is believed to be part of an anticipated Salamanders Champion Pack for the Sniper class.
This aligns with the roadmap that Saber has released for Season 2 of Space Marine 2, featuring a Dark Angels Champion Pack, a Cosmetic Pack, and a Weapon Skin pack. While Saber has not yet showcased the new customization options, these findings remain speculative until confirmed in the near future.
In connection to patch 3.0, there have been reports of a subtle modification to Space Marine 2’s conclusion that has generated excitement among the fanbase. Recently, an interview was conducted with Saber’s chief creative officer, who discussed the anticipated advantages the PS5 Pro will bring to the game, emphasizing how the success of Space Marine 2 has significantly impacted the studio.
Moreover, one of Warhammer 40,000’s notable enthusiasts has been enjoying Space Marine 2 and shared insights regarding the game.
