Summary
- Fans are eager for the Power Axe to be added to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 after its brief appearance in a TV series.
- Updates for the game have introduced new weapons, cosmetic packs, and enemy types, with plans for more content in the future.
- The game's community is rallying for the addition of the Power Axe and eagerly anticipating upcoming DLC and patches.
Gamers are asking for the Power Axe to be added into Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 after it seemingly made a brief appearance in Amazon Prime Video's newly released Secret Level anthology series. The Power Axe was available in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's predecessor from 2011, providing players with a melee weapon that hit harder than the standard Chainsword but was more agile than heavier armaments like the Thunder Hammer.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 features many iconic pieces of gear from the grimdark universe of Games Workshop's massive sci-fi multimedia franchise. Imperial Guardsmen in the title fight swarms of Tyranids using the reliable Lasgun, while both the Emperor's Finest and their Chaos-tainted counterparts are equipped with Power Armor variants that are adorned by intricate heraldries. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's armory lacks one popular weapon from the series, however, and fans have recently highlighted this absence in online discussions.
"Where is my axe, Focus?" Reddit user llStormbringerll said in a post that was addressed to the publisher of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. The post, which has already managed to garner more than 6,500 upvotes, included a still from the game's tie-in episode in Secret Level, "Warhammer 40,000: And They Shall Know No Fear." This image showed Ultramarines Bladeguard Sergeant Metaurus wielding what appeared to be a double-edged Power Axe, which is currently not in Saber Interactive's third-person shooter. LlStormbringerll expressed their wish to see the weapon again soon, a sentiment shared by other community members. One commenter said that they are hoping for the Power Axe to be added in a future DLC based on either the Blood Angels or Space Wolves loyalist Space Marine chapters.

November's Patch 4.5 introduced the Neo-Volkite pistol as a secondary weapon, among other things. Meanwhile, the most recent major update for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 featured several new additions, including a Dark Angels-themed cosmetic pack, the Obelisk Operation, and a Majoris enemy type called the Tzaangor Enlightened. The current 5.0 build also made changes to weapon blocks, delivered bug fixes, and implemented various other tweaks. Game director Dmitriy Grigorenko has revealed that the dev team is planning to rework weapon perks as well in future patches.
According to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's Year One roadmap, the game will receive an additional weapon, fresh game modes, and other new content in the next two seasons. Champion, cosmetic, and skin packs for several unidentified chapters are coming to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 as well.
