publisher Focus Entertainment has detailed the upcoming 5.0 update, and confirmed the game has sold five million copies.

Patch 5.0, due out during the first half of December, makes the previously released Neo-Volkite ******* (the one players were using to recreate Ghostbusters) available in PvP. It also contains the hotly anticipated Dark Angels Chapter Pack, alongside another new Operation, called Obelisk. The Dark Angels Chapter Pack features the Dark Angels Champion, which is a unique armour set and banner for the Bulwark Class.

, three weapons also receive exclusive visuals based on the Dark Angels Chapter: the Auto Bolt Rifle, the Plasma *******, and the Power Sword. The Bulwark class also gets a unique Dark Angels Storm Shield.

The Dark Angels Chapter Pack includes the heraldry items of the Second Foundings and Successor Chapters of the Dark Angels: the Angels of Absolution, the Angels of Redemption, the Angels of Vengeance, the Unnamed, the Blades of Vengeance, the Cowled Wardens, the Bringers of Judgement and the Angels of Defiance.

And new armor pieces will also be added, including the Mark VIII Ravenwing helmet. All these items will be available to unlock as part of a heraldry cosmetic.

Patch 5.0 also adds ****** lenses to the customization menu, which fans have called for ever since Space Marine 2’s explosive launch in September. You’ll be able to choose from 15 different colors.

The new Operation, Obelisk, sends players to Demerium. You need to rotate a replica of the obelisk to disrupt the flow of energy protecting the Aurora device. To reach the console control of the obelisk, you’ll have to make it through a tomb plunged into darkness. This operation takes place in parallel to the final events of the campaign, Focus said.

And finally, Patch 5.0 adds Frame Generation DLSS and FSR 3 support. It’s worth noting that Patch 5.0 will bring
