Major Warhammer 40,000 Update Tightens PvP Modding Rules

Oct 18, 2024 11:20 AM

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has recently introduced Update 4.0, which adds new content for the game, including a new PvE map and enemy type. However, the patch has also implemented stricter encryption on game files to limit modding in the competitive PvP mode known as Eternal War, in response to ongoing cheating issues. While Focus Entertainment remains open to modding in the cooperative PvE mode, concerns have emerged regarding the impact of these changes on the modding community and their efforts in both PvE and PvP environments. The modding community continues to thrive, with popular mods launching even amidst the new restrictions, showcasing player demand for customization and new content in the Warhammer universe.

Can I still mod Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 after Update 4.0?

Yes, you can still mod the PvE mode, as Focus Entertainment has stated they have no issues with that. However, modding for the PvP mode has been significantly restricted due to increased encryption in the latest update to prevent cheating.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is set in the rich and expansive lore of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, where players take on the role of Space Marines battling various enemies, such as Tyranids and Chaos Marines. The game emphasizes combat mechanics and has garnered a passionate community around both gameplay and the underlying lore, fueling players' desire for customization through modding as a means to express their creativity and adapt the game to their preferences.
