Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2has plenty of untapped potential when it comes to future weapon DLC, but players already have a hint at what the next melee weapon will likely be. DespiteSpaceMarine 2already having a wide array of unique and beloved battle tools from the franchise, there are plenty oficonic weapons in40kthat could easily make the cut in future content updates. While it’s uncertain whether Focus Entertainment plans to add a primary or melee weapon to its next update,fans already have an idea of which classic weapon will make a returnin the near future.
In the first few minutes ofSpace Marine 2’s introduction, players watch as a mysterious squad of Deathwatch Marines fight off a swarm of Tyranid Gargoyles attempting to overrun their ship. Their mission to deliver the crucial virus bomb goes awry, but theveteran Deathwatch squadrondoesn’t go down without a fight. Distracted by the intensity of the opening cutscene, it’s likelymost players didn’t have time to acknowledge the inclusion of40k’s legendary melee weapon.
Space Marine 2 Might Add The Electrifying Power Axe
The Long Awaited Return Of The Gruesome Melee Weapon
While it’s only on-screen for a few precious seconds,the legendary Power Axe is unmistakenly seen being used by one of the Deathwatch Marines to cleanly dispatch the oncoming Gargoyles. Already having 3D models of the Power Axe for use in the cutscene itself, it would be much easier to port it over toSpace Marine 2rather than build an entirely new melee weapon from scratch. Being one of the most requested weapon additions by fans, players can rest assured the Power Axe is an easy bet for one of the next DLC weapons coming toSpace Marine 2.
Why Are The Chaos Marines in Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 Made Of Dust?
Some of the deadliest enemies in Space Marine 2 spew rainbow glitter instead of blood, leaving NPC’s disappointed they can’t tear apart their enemies.
Making its grand return from the originalSpace Marinein 2011,players can use the electrified Power Axe to effortlessly chop through hordes of Tyranids and Chaos Marines alike. With deadlier missions andterrifying new enemiescoming toSpace Marine 2in the future, players will need all the firepower they can get their hands on to survive. Acting as a balance between damage and speed offered by the other melee weapons inSpace Marine 2, The Power Axe is an incredibly versatile tool that can tackle virtually any threat players will come across.
How Power Weapons Work In Space Marine 2
Slicing Through Enemies Easier Than Butter
What makes power weapons so much more devastating than a standard Chainsword or Combat Knife is the electrifying energy field that encapsulates the weapon upon activation. Easily identifiable through its electrified buzz and glowing blue light,the energy field allows the weapon to cut through targets at a molecular level, slicing through the thickest of armor with ease.
While such powerful weaponry would be an easy candidate for mass production, much of the technology to create these deadly weapons has been lost to time, with some of the existing Power Swords and other tools being hundreds to thousands of years old.
With power weapons already making up over half ofSpace Marine 2’smelee weapon roster, it’s clear the developers know just how popular these fan-favorite weapons are. On top of the mighty Power Axe, players may even see the eviscerating Lightning Claws or quickly smashing the Power Maul in future DLC content. WhileSpace Marine 2fans eagerly wait to see what weapons Focus Entertainment surprises them with next, the Power Axe is a safe bet to arrive sooner rather than later.
