Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's inaugural public test server is now live, offering players an early glimpse of the highly anticipated Update 7.0 patch notes.
In an official community post, Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive confirmed these preliminary patch notes cover "most" features planned for 7.0, though final implementation may differ as developers continue addressing bugs.
PC players participating in the PTS (currently unavailable on consoles) will discover substantial new content. Update 7.0 introduces a fresh PvE mission titled "Exfiltration," along with the Inferno Pistol as a new secondary weapon option for Vanguard, Sniper, and Heavy classes. Endgame players gain access to prestige ranks in PvE, while competitive fans can now create private PvP lobbies.
The update brings exciting Warhammer 40,000 customization upgrades including two new faction-inspired colors (Volupus Pink and Thousand Sons Blue), cloth/hand recoloring options, plus 50% increased PvP reward rates. PTS participants can unlock the Imperial Fists Champion skin for Tactical class and Space Wolves Champion for Vanguard class.
