The new Neo-Volkite Pistol has been released for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 as part of patch 4.5. For console owners, this is update 1.004.002, and several other weapons in the game have also been balanced. Read on for the November 12 patch notes down below.

Space Marine 2 New Update 1.004.002 Patch Notes for Version 4.5:

Greetings Space Marines!

The 4.5 update for Space Marine 2 is now live! In addition to bringing a new Secondary Weapon to all players, Patch 4.5 provides  buffs to a handful of Primary Weapons and addresses a number of bugs and connection issues. Read the patch notes below for the complete details:

PATCH NOTES

New Weapon: the Neo-Volkite Pistol

The Neo-Volkite Pistol, a powerful thermal ray weapon, is now available for the Assault, Vanguard, and Bulwark classes!

Unlike other weapons, the Neo-Volkite Pistol blasts a heat ray onto your enemies, dealing accumulative thermal damage. Focusing on one enemy will ramp up the damage—until it generates a localised explosion for huge damage to your target and all nearby enemies.

Please note that the Neo-Volkite Pistol will only be available in Operations mode for now as we continue to experiment with balancing in PvP. It will be added to Eternal War mode in our next major update alongside a new Operations map, a new enemy, and the Dark Angels cosmetics. Until then though, you’ll be able to try it out against your friends in the Battle Barge’s Sparring Arena!
