It adds the new Techmarine class, a new melee weapon, a new Operation, DLCs, and balance updates.More like thisOpen Back Headphones: A Sound Experience Like No OtherThe Techmarine is the big draw here. The new playable class — the first to hit the explosive third-person action game since launch — has a unique Servo-Gun ability that locks onto enemies in a line of sight and automatically fires at them while the Techmarine continues fighting in melee or range. It also has access to the new Omnissian Axe, which can deal massive damage to both a single target with its standard attacks and to surrounding enemies with its finishing heavy attacks.“We hope you will really like the new class,” game director Dmitry Grigorenko said in a post on publisher Focus Entertainment’s website. “We’ve tried to make sure that this class plays differently from the rest.”A number of changes were made based on feedback from the recent PTS, outlined in the patch notes below. “We’ve tried to address most of it, but there are some big changes that we didn’t have time to implement,” Grigorenko explained. “There will be more improvements and perks reworks in upcoming patches.”Elsewhere, patch 12.0 heralds the addition of Space Marine 2’s first voice pack, which costs $4.99. This is not included in the Season Pass (and thus has upset some players who believe it should be part of the premium DLC package). It includes 450 re-recorded voicelines and a unique Space Marine Head cosmetic for each of the following Space Marine chapters: Blood Angels, Space Wolves, and Black Templars.Image credit: Focus Entertainment.Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Techmarine update 12.0 patch notes:NEW FEATURESNew Class: TechmarineWe are introducing a new playable class: the Techmarine!
