Hi Space Marines,
May’s all about Warhammer Skulls and therefore we’ve launched Patch 13 - Purgation Update a week ago! Have you tried it already?
In this month’s Community Update, we shall reveal some Year 3 spoilers, recap Purgation Update’s content, and remind you of the ongoing Twitch Drops.
TEASING YEAR 3 👀
Lots of exciting things are coming in Year 3, and today we’re too excited to keep them under wraps, so here are a few spoilers!
Throughout Year 3, the game will receive five major updates (Patches 15 to 19). Once again, there’ll be plenty of free content for everyone, including new weapons, missions, and more. On top of that, there’ll be a Season Pass packed with Chapter cosmetics and Champion skins.
We’ll also continue placing a strong focus on improving the user experience and fixing bugs throughout Year 3, making the game smoother, more stable, and more enjoyable for everyone.
Now for our first spoiler: a new Class is on the way, planned for the first half of 2027! We can’t reveal which one just yet, but we can say it’s been highly requested by the community. As we did with the Techmarine, this new Class will receive its own special Champion Skin after its release.
Place your bets! Which Class do you think it will be? 🤔😁
The Year 3 roadmap will be revealed alongside the Second Anniversary Update. Stay tuned!
PATCH 13 - PURGATION UPDATE
Iron Hands Chapter Pack
The Iron Hands Chapter pack includes a Techmarine Champion and a skin for its signature weapon, the Omnissian Axe.
Armour pieces were added as part of the Chapter Customisation Pack:
L&R Greaves
L&R Gauntlets
L&R Pauldrons & Decals
Successor Chapters
Four Successor Chapters were added alongside the Iron Hands Chapter Pack, including:
Brazen Claws
Iron Lords
Sons of Medusa
Red Talons
New Operation - PURGATION
Investigate Chaos activity near a Cadian base and stop an unholy ritual.
As you make your way across the swamps, stay alert – Chaos corruption status effect will apply if you spend too much time in the waters.
The water corruption grows over time, and eventually, geysers may erupt near your squad, dealing damage unless you evade them.
Siege Mode Update
Several new features were implemented in Siege Mode:
Now, you can earn weekly Accolades for completing Siege Mode.
New items have been added to the shop, including a Commissar to boost Cadians, explosive mines, Tarantula Sentries and a Tech-priest to defend as he gets you currency boosts.
Blessings and Atonements were introduced. It’s up to you to pick and choose them and customise your mission. Pick 1 Blessing amongst 3 every 5 waves. One Atonement is applied every 5 waves as well. You can reroll it in exchange for some Siege currency.
The Hive Tyrant and Mutalith Vortex Beast can now be encountered as Bosses. And the timer got a rework too. Now, when the timer’s over, you won’t get a Game Over, but enemies will become subsequently harder to beat.
Gameplay features
For further details on the new gameplay features, we strongly recommend checking the 13.0 Patch Notes right here.
Here’s a compendium of what’s new:
Battle-Barge Battle Simulator
Perks Loadout
New Ordeals
Regarding the new Ordeals, our chapter Chaplain has learnt of a number of “creative” practices with the private lobbies to quickly get the rewards, and has instructed all units to heed the following warning. We’re not going to fix these, but you’ve been warned, Space Marines!
Wargear Sharing
New Rewards in the Refinement & Redemption shop (3 Weapon Variants and 6 Armour Variants)
New weapon: Bolt Carbine Sidearm (One-handed)
13.1 Hotfix
