The free update added a harder difficulty option, a new co-op mission, and made changes to enemy spawn rates, armor, ammo management. It also included a modifier that forced players to stick together to survive. <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/kotaku.com\/space-marine-2-4-0-update-hard-nerf-difficulty-backlash-1851676224&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/space-marine-2-4-0-update-hard-nerf-difficulty-backlash-1851676224\">The feedback from fans was extremely negative<\/a><\/span>, with many players complaining that the game was too frustrating and hard across difficulty options and that the power fantasy of <em>Space Marine 2 <\/em>had been ruined. Saber Interactive agreed and, on October 18, promised another update was coming soon that would address complaints. And now that update is live.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">On October 23, <em>Space Marine 2<\/em> director Dmitriy Grigorenko <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/community.focus-entmt.com\/focus-entertainment\/space-marine-2\/blogs\/103-patch-notes-4-1-and-game-director-commentary&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/community.focus-entmt.com\/focus-entertainment\/space-marine-2\/blogs\/103-patch-notes-4-1-and-game-director-commentary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">posted update 4.1&#8217;s patch notes on the game\u2019s official forums<\/a><\/span> alongside a series of highly detailed explanations for the controversial changes that had been made before. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">For example, Grigorenko says that the idea behind increasing the number of deadlier \u201cExtremis \u201d enemies was to make the game harder without just increasing enemy health pools. The plan was to make the game\u2019s second hardest difficulty tier, Ruthless, more challenging. However, the change made all tiers harder while also making Ruthless incredibly annoying. So Saber is rolling back the change on all difficulties below Ruthless, while tweaking the spawn rate on that difficulty to be somewhere between 4.0 and pre-4.0. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sc-1bwb26k-1 dezcon\" id=\"h43785\"><em>Space Marine 2&#8217;s<\/em> new patch finally buffs Bolt Rifles<\/h2>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">But 4.1 isn\u2019t just about reverting some annoying tweaks introduced in the last patch. This new update finally buffs all Bolt Guns in <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/kotaku.com\/space-marine-2-warhammer-40k-w40k-ankle-armor-lore-ps5-1851662025&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/space-marine-2-warhammer-40k-w40k-ankle-armor-lore-ps5-1851662025\"><em>Space Marine 2<\/em><\/a><\/span>. This has been a request from many players since the game\u2019s launch in September, as these weapons are iconic in <em>Warhammer 40k<\/em>, but they felt weak in the sci-fi shooter. Here are the weapon buffs: <\/p>\n<ul data-type=\"List\" data-style=\"Bullet\" class=\"sc-1lmbno3-0 iPScqk\">\n<li>Auto Bolt Rifle -&gt; Damage increased by 20%<\/li>\n<li>Bolt Rifle -&gt; Damage increased by 10%<\/li>\n<li>Heavy Bolt Rifle -&gt; Damage increased by 15%<\/li>\n<li>Stalker Bolt Rifle -&gt; Damage increased by 10%<\/li>\n<li>Marksman Bolt Carbine -&gt; Damage increased by 10%<\/li>\n<li>Instigator Bolt Carbine -&gt; Damage increased by 10%<\/li>\n<li>Bolt Sniper Rifle -&gt; Damage increased by 12.5%<\/li>\n<li>Bolt Carbine -&gt; Damage increased by 15%<\/li>\n<li>Occulus Bolt Carbine -&gt; Damage increased by 15%<\/li>\n<li>Heavy Bolter -&gt; Damage increased by 5%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">Another very frustrating addition to 4.0 was the \u201cTight Formation\u201d mechanic added to the game\u2019s new super hard difficulty. This forced players to stick together at all times to recover armor, but ended up making it particularly hard to play some classes and people weren\u2019t happy about that. With 4.1, this mechanic has been removed. The game\u2019s director says it was the studio testing out gameplay modifiers and while it still plans to bring modifiers to <em>Space Marine 2<\/em>, it will wait until<em> <\/em>\u201cthey\u2019re ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">The full patch notes are worth reading, as Grigorenko is very open about the tweaks made in 4.0 and why they happened. He also explained that after seeing all the feedback and frustration following 4.0, his big takeaway was that he\u2019d forgotten \u201conce the game comes out, it\u2019s no longer a dev\u2019s game. It\u2019s yours first and foremost.\u201d To help prevent this situation from happening again, Grigorenko announced public test servers will be available in 2025 and they will let players try out \u201cmajor balancing updates\u201d before being fully released.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\"> .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/space-marine-2-4-0-update-harder-nerfs-buff-bolt-guns-1851679664\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, Space Marine 2&#8216;s 4.0 update arrived and many players weren\u2019t happy about it.
