February Community Update
Hey everyone 👋
This month we’ve worked hard to release the Techmarine Update, and now it’s out! Read the patch notes here or take a look at the recap:
TECHMARINE UPDATE - PATCH 12.0
Techmarine Class
The new Techmarine class is here with a unique melee weapon: the Omnissian Axe, along with new perks, finishers, and new exclusive gameplay mechanics. In PvP, you get to play as the Red Corsair Warpsmith with the Heretic Power Axe.It has its own playstyle, arsenal, abilities and perks. If you want to learn more about the depths of its gameplay mechanics, check this blog!
New Operation - Disruption
With 12.0 comes a new Operation called “Disruption”. Defend the Ecclesiarchy District from both the Tyranids and the Thousands Sons.Here’s your brief for this mission:Combat Squad Veridian must reinforce a battalion of Cadians besieged by a Tyranid swarm, when an urgent missive from an Ecclesiarchy Priest alerts them to a Thousand Sons ritual profaning a nearby Cathedral. Both onslaughts must be disrupted to prevent a domino effect that will jeopardise concurrent operations elsewhere on Avarax.

ADDRESSING SOME MORE IDEAS FROM THE PLAYERS
Once again, we wanted to address the latest and most discussed ideas from Focus Together, and bring answers to them with insights from Game Director Dmitry Grigorenko!💡 Allow Players To Color Their Weapons: linkSummary: Add a customisation option to change the colour of the weapons.💬 Thank you for the idea. At the moment, we want to keep the weapon colour skins as a reward for the Siege mode. However, we can confirm that more colours are coming.
💡 Fix Macragge Blue and Lens Colors: linkSummary: The Macragge Blue colour is different from Campaign to PvE/PvP.💬 Hi! Here's a little explanation regarding this issue: The reason why color is not exactly the same is because Campaign characters cannot be customized and the color scheme is set in stone. The Campaign characters are not just flat Macragge Blue, there are more advanced shading techniques applied to them that cannot be replicated in PvE and PvP game modes because of the customization. This is why Campaign characters will always look better than recoloured PvE/PvP marines. Especially lenses. Another big factor is how different lighting affects colour shading, as well as different colour correction that is unique to each area of each level. That being said, we will try to tweak our colours one more time to close the gap.
💡 Assault Dash Attack Improvements: linkSummary: Various ideas to improve the Assault’s Dash Attack.💬 With patch 12, the Dash Attack has been greatly improved, as well as Assault in general.
💡 Stratagems: Battlefield Conditions On Screen in the Barge: linkSummary: Make the Battlefield Conditions visible on screen in the Battle Barge without having to go to the Stratagems menu.💬 Thanks for the idea, it's in the works!
💡 Ability to choose which bot teammates go with you on missions and additional customization: linkSummary: More options for bots customisation.💬 Hello, thanks for the suggestion. However, our focus is currently on improving online aspects of the game. Playing with bots will remain a lower priority compared to online improvements.
💡 More Chapter Insignias On Knee Pads: linkSummary: Add the option to put chapter insignias on the knees for all the other founding chapters and successor chapters.💬 It is planned!
💡 Special weapons for imperial guard: linkSummary: Add more weapon variety to Imperial Guards.💬 This is someting we're planning to add to Siege mode.
