Greetings, Space Marines!
Today, we’re going to examine customisation in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 more closely. We’ve received many questions about this topic, and we hope to answer most of them here!
Customisation starts in the Armouring Hall, where you can select your class, your equipment, perks, and, today’s main topic, customise your Space Marine’s armour.
Each class comes with a selection of pre-made armour sets that you’ll have to unlock in PvE or PvP game modes. You can also decide to create your own custom armour set. This is where your creativity shines! Various designs of helm, pauldrons, breastplate, wargear, gauntlets and greaves can be unlocked by playing in multiplayer modes.
Customisation gets especially interesting when checking out the second tab of the customisation menu, “Astartes Chapters”. Here, you can access presets representing many legendary Space Marine Chapters.
Once again, you’ll be able to customise your armour set, personalising each part with different paints, emblems, and colour patterns. You’ll unlock these elements in the Heraldry menu to faithfully recreate the colour scheme of your favourite Chapter, or create your own custom design.
Before…
And after! (don’t even say he’s ugly)
Heretic Astartes characters can also be customised for your PvP matches! Each class corresponds to a specific Traitor Legion (for example, Assault will always be represented by a Night Lords Raptor), but you can change the colours and apply different emblems.
Finally, there’s the Astartes Heraldry menu, where you’ll acquire each Chapter’s unique customisation elements. Emblems, colours and armour parts from Adeptus Astartes, Heretic Astartes, Unknown Foundings, First Founding, Second Founding and Successor Chapters!
On launch, over 30 different Chapters have their colours and heraldry available to unlock. Whilst some of them are exclusive to the Season Pass, the majority of them are available to unlock through game progression.
And that’s it for the customisation! Don’t hesitate to let us know if you still have questions regarding this feature. We know how important customisation is for any Warhammer fan! We hope you’ll like it and spend hours in these menus to create YOUR very own Space Marine.
See you very soon on the battlefield!
The Emperor protects.
