A week after Saber Interactive promised a whole bunch of player-requested features and fixes for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, the first of these are now here – with the sci-fi shooter’s latest patch introducing “more helpful and effective” bots, private lobbies, and more.
Saber Interactive spent a fair bit of time discussing bots last week, acknowledging player complaints that the general ineffectiveness of teammate bots mades solo games “significantly harder”. And thus Patch 3.0, which lifts various “inhibiting restrictions” during the campaign to make bots more “helpful and effective, while still not beating the game for the player”.
Previous restrictions preventing bots from finishing off enemies have now been “heavily eased”, for instance, and bots can now help with Gargoyle objectives and focus-firing zoanthropes when they’re attacked by players. Additionally, enemy aggressiveness has been decreased on Veteran Difficulty to further improve the single-player experience, and, in order to balance out these changes, player health has been “slightly” reduced.
Let’s Play Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 – ABSOLUTE CHAOS!
