Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Hotfix 13.2 Notes (9th June 2026)
Siege Mode gets a major rebalance with enemy scaling adjustments and Atonement tweaks, while several perks finally get their cooldown bugs fixed.
Hotfix 13.2 lands today with some meaningful Siege Mode adjustments that should ease the difficulty spike players have been hitting. The big one: enemy damage resistance now caps at 60% for regular enemies and 80% for Terminus enemies, down from scaling indefinitely. That's a real change, endless scaling was making late-wave runs feel like you were shooting wet cardboard.
Several Atonements took hits too. Hyperopia and Myopia both dropped from 75% damage reduction to 50%, which brings them closer to parity with other defensive picks. Squad Unity and Split Up got distance tweaks to encourage better squad positioning, and Warp Storm's cooldown jumped to 45 seconds. The Bolt Carbine One-Handed also got a 15% damage bump, finally making it a viable sidearm option.
Beyond balance, this hotfix cleans up a bunch of perk cooldown bugs, Marked for Death, Defensive Mastery, and Pattern of Excellence all had incorrect timers. There's also fixes for Siege Mode weekly rewards not triggering and custom armour sets vanishing on reload. Check the full notes for the complete list of crash and UI fixes.
