Space Marine 2's Obelisk Update Brings Major Changes and New Features

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Patch 5 introduces significant balance changes, notably reworking Blocking weapons to enhance their utility by allowing players to accumulate melee damage buffs through blocking, which can be unleashed for massive AoE damage. The update also increases melee damage across the board, adds an Extermination Bonus for XP in Operations mode, and introduces new content like the Dark Angels Chapter Pack. Future patches will address weapon perks and balance issues, including the overpowered Grenade Launcher.
