Space Marine 2 Receives Confrontation Patch That Bring in New Maps for Free<\/p>\n

NEW FEATURES<\/p>\n

New PvP map: Sanctum<\/p>\n

Sanctum is a medium-sized PvP map built for dynamic and exciting battles. The map features open combat areas, fast routes to key engagement zones and a central area designed as the main hotspot for intense firefights.<\/p>\n

New PvP map: Facility<\/p>\n

Facility is one of the most compact PvP maps designed for fast-paced and intense combat. The map maximises opportunities for flanking attacks, rotations and outmaneuvering the enemy.<\/p>\n

New Enemy: Scarab Occult Terminator Sorcerer<\/p>\n

Meet the new Terminus enemy: the Scarab Occult Terminator Sorcerer, part of the mighty Thousand Sons. He wields powerful magic for both close and long-range attacks, and is also capable of creating potent illusions.<\/p>\n

New Feature: New Medals and Scores for PvP<\/p>\n

Medals and Achievements: enhanced visual effects that highlight a player\u2019s accomplishments during a match. They affect match statistics and the experience points a player earns.<\/p>\n

New Feature: Trials of Resolve #2<\/p>\n

Four new challenging Ordeals to get new items have been added, designed for experienced players.<\/p>\n

New Feature: Wargear 2.01<\/p>\n

Dev comment: This is a small intermediate update to the wargear system.<\/p>\n

We are adding a 3rd Wargear slot to some classes so tabards and capes could be equipped at the same time.<\/p>\n

This is why some tabards were removed from some chest pieces in this patch in preparation to be moved to a separate slot.<\/p>\n

With Patch 15 you will be able to equip everything together.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, with the next update robes and tabards are coming to Vanguard and Heavy.<\/p>\n

Capes for Bulwark are also in the works, however it will take a bit more time (not in Patch 15), since robes need to be removed from chest pieces first.<\/p>\n

Oh and \u201cSomething we should have done a long time ago\u201d customization feature also coming in Patch 15 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Robes for the Assault and Tactical classes have been added, along with tabards for the Assault class which can be earned by completing new Ordeals.<\/p>\n

Earn Accolades for participating in PvP on weekly basis<\/p>\n
