Space Marine 2 Loyalists Defend Latest Mega-Nerf Patch Update

The latest patch for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has gotten a sharp response from the game’s fanbase. As with many multiplayer titles, changes to game balance inevitably lead to disagreements, and this update is the latest example.

The game’s latest patch had some balance tweaks, including a 70% damage reduction for the Melta **** and changes to the difficulty of operations. While the majority of the community has reacted negatively to the changes, some players are saying that everyone complaining is overreacting. So which one is true?

Space Marine 2 Players Are Erring On The Side Of Caution

The main problem that players have is that the patch made Space Marine 2 more difficult for no reason. This is alongside the change to the Melta **** which had a massive 70% damage reduction. For many players who are fans of this genre, a nerf like this is alarmingly similar to Helldivers 2‘s problems.

, “Lethal is painful because it’s SUPPOSED to be painful,” defending the idea that not every mode needs to be accessible to casual players.

The defending players pointed out that while there are noticeable changes, such as reduced armor and tighter parry windows. But the changes haven’t fundamentally broken the game. But to be fair, people who are critical of the patch aren’t really overreacting.

Bruh Space Marine 2 literally dropped an actual content patch and its literally filled with nerfs. What the actual *****?

There is just a growing ***** that these changes could lead the game down a problematic path. The ***** is not that Space Marine 2 will **** or lose players, but rather that it could suffer from balance issues similar to how Arrowhead’s multiple nerfs affected Helldivers 2.

According to players, you buff the weak things, not nerf the strong ones. By making popular playstyles worse, you’re just brewing hate. But if you buffed weaker playstyles then that will encourage players to try more variety while playing.
