Either Space Marine 2 Brings a Much Needed Accessory in December Update or We Embrace Chaos

There’s no doubt that Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 enjoyed a phenomenal launch back in September and has continued to evolve both in terms of popularity and content, with new updates providing gamers with new features and items to explore.

Much like its rivals, Space Marine 2 dropped with a roadmap that will see new additions come to the game on a seasonal basis. Sometime in December, we’re supposed to get an update that changes how we experience the title. However, if it doesn’t bring one of the most iconic helmets of the series, the game might see another round of review-bombing.

It’s Time For Saber Interactive to Give Us This Special Helmet in Space Marine 2

In Warhammer 40k‘s universe, helmets are one of the many protective gears worn by humanity’s greatest soldiers, Space Marines. They’re designed to shield them from hazardous environments, providing enhanced vision and targeting capabilities. Helmets are a crucial part of a Space Marine’s arsenal as they allow them to be a menace on the battlefield.

Developer Saber Interactive has done quite an incredible job when it comes to honoring Space Marines and their armor pieces in Space Marine 2. The studio has provided players with tons of customization when it comes to helmet pieces. Unfortunately, the game still doesn’t have the iconic red Seargant helmet.

Man they NEED to add the red Sergeant helmet to the game, or at least let us customize the eye color

In Warhammer 40k, red helmets signify a special rank within Space Marine 2 chapters. For instance, for Ultramarines and other Codex-compliant chapters, red helmets mark the rank of the members of Veteran Sergeant. It’s a helmet that separates the legends from the ordinary and looks quite fantastic.

Saber also must give players the option to customize their lens colors. Currently, we can only switch between red and green, which restricts gamers from truly personalizing their super soldiers. Many in the community believe that Saber must allow players to choose any color they want.

One player wishes for Saber to even bring the Ultramarine Sergeant logo in Space Marine 2. Currently, it can only be used on the knee, but it should be a shoulder emblem as well.

Others speculate that Saber might not add different lens colors because the franchise’s creator, Games Workshop, wouldn’t allow such things.

Let’s hope Saber Interactive listens to the player feedback and finally brings the much-requested red Seargent helmet and allows us to customize lens colors. It’s truly mind-boggling how the developers didn’t bring such basic accessories and customization options right along with the game’s release.

What’s Coming in Space Marine 2‘s December Update?

While we still don’t know if Saber will expand upon the customizability of Space Marines with the upcoming update for the game, there’s a lot to be excited about. The December update will finally bring the Dark Angel Chapter and a new enemy, the Tzaangor Enlightened.

Dark Angles have been rumored to drop in Space Marine 2 since its release. In Warhammer 40k‘s universe, The Dark Angels were the very first of the Empreor’s Space Marine Legions and are considered to be the pinnacle of marine chapters. These warriors are recognized by their green and off-white robes.

The game will also receive a brand-new map set on Demerium dubbed Obelisk and various tweaks to blocking weapons, which many players have claimed to feel unsatisfying to use.

There’s plenty to look forward to as Space Marine 2 continues to grow, and 2025 will undoubtedly bring even more new content to the game.

With that said, do you think there’s anything Saber needs to add in Space Marine 2 with upcoming updates? Let us know in the comments below.
