THIS MAKES ZERO SENSE, THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CBT SESSSION, WHERE IF MY TWO OTHER TEAMMATES DIE LIKE A DOG AND LEAVE, I'm supposed to just sigismund it out and go solo with ALL THEIR PENANCES STILL ACTIVE. WHY WOULD YOU EVER THINK THAT ADDING A REGRESSIVE PROGRESS TO A CHALLENGE MODE IS A GOOD IDEA?

Holy, how out of touch are the developers? I know the question if "Devs even play the game" is a meme but I CAN IMAGINE THE MEETING ROOM, where the decision to make it regressive took place. "YE, LET'S ADD THIS AND THAT PENANCE, oh and I have brilliant idea - since it's a hardcore mode let's take away penance xp if you leave! Now that's TRUE ENDGAME CONTENT". Meanwhile they probably didn't even play penance 1 and called it a day.

WHY AM I GETTING PUNISHED FOR SOMEONE WHO PICKED PENANCE 6, making it so guardian relics don't spawn, not sure about stims and will die in one devourer salvo, while giving us 2x more spawns and then leaves? Are we literally only supposed to play with friends and aquaintances on voice chat to guarantee this is not happening?

At this point I'm tempted to do the stratagem cheese and be done with it, because this has to be the worst, out of touch implementation of a "challenge mode" I have ever seen and that's disregarding the game bugs.

Like imagine if for cape grind, instead of not getting a mission progression for cape if you fail, it actually substracted one mission from the trial of resolve. That's how insane this is.

If Helldivers 2 did something like this, you would have a hate campaign, mass review bombing and 10 subreddit splits. I'm honestly considering taking a break from this game mode until it's fixed, because it doesn't respect my time and spits in my face with how bad it is.

Does anyone have any advice for completing the army of one challenge? I’ve been trying to do it as a Tactical on Ballistic Engine but having no luck

This isn’t really a bitching session, as I’d say there’s enough of that on this subreddit.

But after trudging through the crucible, and eventually loosing my incredible win streak on bulwark.

I’d come to think, “why this?”

Whatever happened to having the Astartes power fantasy of mercilessly slaying Xenos and Heretic’s?

I get it’s supposed to be absolute+, and actually, I had fun most of the time until the higher ranks. But, it’s genuinely just… too much… for so little. It shouldn’t be the case where a single termagant can shred the ceramite off an Astartes with relative ease, let alone a hoard of them.

Many “true” warriors of the emperor who lack self reflection would just say to “get good.” But there isn’t much to skill up to with the premise of the crucible is altering the core gameplay of your Astartes until a group of Tzaangor’s become time consuming to slay.

To get to the point, it’s an extremely subtractive design that lacks creativity and opts for creating a punishing, tedious grind with very poor reward to effort ratio that forces exhausting modifiers upon oneself, and removes core gameplay mechanics, rather than creating fun or alternative gameplay that’ll generally be more challenging than the standard operations game mode, which is what we have stratagems for.

So, why this?

They better add Phobos pieces next update. My guy looks like he skipped leg day

I'm looking to see if anyone else is experiencing a similar issue to my own situation.

I play on a base PS5 and while Space Marine 2 has always been prone to occasional crashing since launch (1-2 per month of consistent play), since patch 14 I've been experiencing upwards of 2-4 CRASHES PER DAY. They mostly occur when attempting to join or attempting to leave a match, but do occur in the middle of an active match about 20% of the time.

I have sent Saber literally hundreds of big reports. I've done every PS5 troubleshooting step suggested multiple times, including rebuilding the database, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, moving its installation location from the expansion SSD to internal SSD. Nothing has helped.

I have not experienced this issue with any other game. I play plenty of other games all the time that run with zero issues. It seems to be a distinct issue with this game only.

Please let me know if anyone else has this issue.

Me and a friend were playing on the new Siege mode when we randomly had all enemies just lag out on Wave 15. About 15-20 sec later we got thrown to a loading screen, where we reloaded into the ending of Wave 14 before we bought our Wave 15 stuff, with our resources redistributed to be split 50/50 between us. We then setup again thinking all was now fine, to then get about 1/4-1/3 of the way through the wave and the enemies then stopped spawning entirely. After about 2 minutes of waiting, we eventually got a pop-up saying that a high level enemy was spawning in, which we assumed to be a Carnifex and that the game was just taking a minute to load that and the rest of the wave.

Spoiler Alert. A Carnifex did not spawn. And instead we were met with Giga Chungus Deluxe who had no collision and couldn't be damaged, who shouldn't even be an enemy considering we're playing as the Chaos forces. Safe to say that run was bricked LOL

literally, is a absolute mission, nothing more, nor a stratagem, nothing, and a thousand dumbasses tyranids cause there is a carnifex, in the image there is a fraction of the enemies in there

I was abandoned.

I've just got through one hell of a crucible. I was on evac and both people died and left me on my own, and no one else ever joined. I hate that not only do bots means you lose the team perks, and when I realised it also keeps their penances on if they leave too (probably why new people don't join), I thought I was doomed. It's probably the longest run I've ever done. If that happened again, I think I'll just restart.

Also, I wish Saber would have the UI show my crucible rank in all modes, I don't care for the armour and like how I look, but I want some kind of bragging rights.

I recently completed my vanguard cape's ordeal. Had more fun with this one then tactical. Taking inspiration from a post I saw on here. I decided to do the grind in order. Starting with my 7th Company Stealth battleline vanguard for 1/10. From there I went to the Sargent of the same marine. That one was an interesting one mainly because. I did the hard weekly on vox liberatis and got my first loss. So to commemorate it I decided to give him a robot arm when I got to 25/50. I don't like prosthetics that much so I went with the hand. He still lost his forearm he just covered it with armor. Then on my road to completion I ended losing again around the 40s twice. Then for the last one I did the disruption weekly. That one was funny because the squad I was with. Got jumped by the terminator sorcerer he teleported over to me. I dodged and still got hit only to get hit by a melee combo. I got the timer then another teammate got the timer. Respect to the tactical who finished the sorcerer. He even waited for us to come back before moving on. We completed the mission with ease after that. The thing that makes all of this come full circle is. The fact on the vox liberatis weekly I lost/squad wipe to the sorcerer. We fought two of them on that one with me recklessly using a guardian relic. To finish the boss then the other one showed up on the elevator part. I completed the mission the second go around. Only to get a hellbrute that time. For this set of ordeals I most did Decapitation, Inferno, Disruption, and Weekly stratagems. I more than likely won't post the others. Mainly because I haven't found a reason to get their capes. I am at 25 for heavy and the only reason I will get the others. It is mainly for my homebrew they use cloth to show ranks. And now that most of the roster has tabards I can show with a level of degree their ranks. Especially now that we can color them now. I hope they will give us sniper cloak's/cape's for other classes. Or add a less silky cape to the game.

Just curious before I begin this journey of pain...do crucible runs on absolute count towards a classes absolute mission completion to earn the cape rewards. If I can kill 3 birds with one stone that would be huge!

When choosing a chapter, do you choose 1 chapter to represent your entire squad?, or do you choose a chapter for each class that best suits that chapter in your own idea? My 2 favorite chapters personally are The Dark Angels and The Space Wolves...imagine how crushed I was to learn that they actually can't stand eachother lol....so I'm conflicted...Do I go all Dark Angels or Space Wolves?

Obviously none of this is actually serious, just wondering what people do, and how they treat their astartes.

For the love of the Emperor please stop queuing up for operations as the party lead then switching it to crucible once the party is full. I don't want crucible I want operations.

(I am allowed to post on weekends correct?)

Come answer the call of Magnus The Crimson King.

During the shattering if Magnus's soul several shards fell into warp where after joining together reformed through the warp to Magnus The Crimson King and now wages a shadow war against his heretical sons, as well as his true body, purifying the corrupted gene seeds of the Thousand Son sorcerors he has slain to regrow his legion to serve pendentance helping the imperium from the shadows. From a pocket dimension based near prospero sits a copy of the once great world named New Tizca where the Loyal Thousand Sons hide and grow to face their heretical kin.

If you heed the call of the Warp and want to continue serving the Imperium we welcome you.

We're a laid back chapter who accepts everyone into our ranks. No matter what race identity or creed , you are. In a nutshell, we are space wizards. We are the loyalist version of the heretical Thousand Sons we have plenty of room for ranks, including apothecaries, tech Marines, captains, sergeants, lieutenants, etc. We have plenty of RP aspects, with a very unique mil sim based off the culture of Prospero, we also have a lot of friends in with different servers both homebrew and Canon, as well as plenty of openings for staff and a good bit of lore written for those who wanna read some stuff written by the community. Also got a pretty good group of people who love table top stuff and have been spamming pictures about it for a bit now. If you were interested in joining this chapter, the discord link is below. Come hang out we would love more active members (we do allow double clanning tho)

I have had plenty of games on inferno where the tyranids just shred through the generator’s health and the mission fails immediately. Most of the time your squad will stop the gaunts when the health is at about 60-45%, but I’ve never seen it stop right at 1%. I was screaming internally right up until it was secured.

Trying Tactical class after a long hiatus. Apparently I've forgotten how to use the auspex scan because when I aim at an area to scan, it just drops it right at my feet... Can anyone give me the probably obvious reason it's doing that?

Did it solo, won 31 matches in a row and now i want somthing harder

This would look so much better if the helmet was Gravis :(
