The game update 6.0 'Datavault' of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 brings new additions and gameplay improvements to the game. The Datavault found on the Ultramarine battle barge provides players with access to research data after accomplishing tasks in Campaign, Operations and Eternal War modes. The data enables players to acquire new power armor pieces as well as weapon cosmetic items for customization purposes. The Armory contains a Tech-Priest workshop which enables players to process their armory data by either refining or selling it for requisition points.
The Tyranid Biovore serves as a premier Extremis-tier enemy addition in Operations as the major new addition of this update. This enemy uses explosive spore mines as its ranged attack but becomes extremely dangerous when fighting it in close combat. More advanced players can tackle absolute difficulty because it delivers challenging enemy waves combined with tighter restrictions on resources available. The community of PvP enthusiasts will welcome 'Tomb' as the newest PvP map that reinforces close-range fighting and flanking. The update includes an emote system that brings six special gestures including battle cries and chest pounds which enhance in-game expression capabilities.
The update delivers several QoL improvements which include the highly wanted field-of-view (FOV) slider, weapon balance adjustments and fresh finisher animations. This update also included a new season pass which added two new cosmetic packs including the Salamanders Champion Pack for Sniper classes and the Raven Guard Cosmetic Pack. With its exciting updates and enhancements, the 6.0 version delivers valuable improvements to the gameplay experience for both experienced and new players.
