Saber is currently working to deliver Patch 8—a major update that will add plenty of new content—though dataminers have uncovered some details ahead of its official release.
According to findings shared by a leaker known as luthien13, theTechmarine seems to be the newSpace Marine 2classcoming in Patch 8. This assumption stems from a perk called “shoulder gun bolter” mentioned in the files. A Techmarine is a special kind of Space Marine who’s both a strong fighter and a skilled mechanic—they’re basically warrior-engineers—responsible for maintaining and repairing weapons, armor, and vehicles, while operating complex machinery like Dreadnoughts, Rhinos, and Land Raiders.

Additionally, dataminers have suggested that a Power Axe and a Grav-cannon will be included inSpace Marine 2Patch 8’s new content.

For now, players have been told by the developer that the new update will feature the highly awaited Horde Mode, which will support up to three players as they battle waves of both Tyranids and Chaos enemies, with difficulty increasing as they progress.
It remains to be seen whether the leaks turn out to be accurate, though Saber had previously stated that not evendataminers would be able to uncover details aboutSpace Marine 2’s upcoming content. In the meantime, players will have to wait a little longer to see an official reveal of Patch 8.
