Space Marine 2 Faces Backlash Over Challenging New Patch

Developers respond to player concerns after a major update increases difficulty and nerfs key weapons.

The recent 4.0 update for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 has sparked significant backlash from players due to increased difficulty and weapon nerfs.
Key changes include a 70% damage reduction for the Melta Gun and adjustments making co-op missions more challenging.
Developers Saber Interactive have acknowledged the feedback and promised further balance changes in a forthcoming patch.
Players have drawn comparisons to Helldivers 2, fearing similar balance issues could impact the game's enjoyment.
