A Space Marine 2 Mod is Getting So Out of Hand They Literally Had to Edit the Seizure Warning

Almost three months after its release, Space Marine 2 is still receiving attention from fans. Saber Interactive has truly made a hit Warhammer 40K game, but not all the credit goes to them. The modding community has done extremely well for this game and the release of Astartes 2.0 has taken things to a new level.

The Astartes Overhaul 2.0 mod has changed the whole game. From lore-accurate Space Marine classes to completely new gameplay mechanics, its size cannot be overstated. But the mod’s update to the seizure warning screen in the game is being questioned.

This Mod Makes Space Marine 2 Feel Completely New

The Astartes Overhaul 2.0 mod, developed by Warhammer Workshop, has been a breath of fresh air for players. Instead of generic class names like ******* or Heavy, players can now step into the boots of iconic lore-based roles such as Devastators, Bladeguards, and Eliminators.

The Astartes mod changed the seizure warning.

Additionally, there are some new reworked combat mechanics including access to weapons like the Pyreblaster which was previously locked to the campaign. There are also new operations where players will be able to use the jetpack, like Voidsong and Skylab.

Beyond gameplay, the mod breathes new life into customization. Players now have access to customizing their Space Marines with metallic paints, chapter-specific decals, and even customizable Mark 8 helmets. If you want to try out the mod, you can visit its NexusMods page

One of the most debated changes in the mod is the change to the game’s seizure warning. The original notice, standard in most modern video games, was replaced with a cheeky in-universe line about vigilance for the Emperor.

While some players saw this as a humorous nod to Warhammer’s tone, others criticized it as a disregard for accessibility. The modding community, however, has defended the move, arguing that most players installing mods are aware of the risks, having seen the original warning multiple times.

The reception to Astartes 2.0 has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans enjoying the sheer amount of features and creativity. Players are describing it as a much-needed refresh for a game still in its early months.

Y’all are the best! I was worried just reading the tweet but of course with the team at Focus there’s nothing to worry about

Astartes Overhaul 2.0 has been a highlight of the potential that player-driven content has in modern gaming. By addressing some of the game’s biggest limitations and injecting a dose of authenticity, it has set a high bar for what modding can achieve.

The modding community shows no signs of slowing down. With ongoing updates and the possibility of official developer support for mods, players can expect even more ambitious projects.

Fans hope that mods like Astartes 2.0 will inspire Saber Interactive to incorporate fan-made changes and tidbits into future updates. However, the controversy surrounding accessibility shows the need for a balance between creativity and inclusivity.
