The public test server for *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2* is now live, offering an early peek at Update 7.0. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive have released preliminary patch notes, noting that the final version may differ due to ongoing bug fixes. This PTS (PC only; unavailable on console) delivers a substantial update.

Update 7.0 introduces a new PvE mission, "Exfiltration," and a fresh secondary weapon—the Inferno Pistol—for Vanguard, Sniper, and Heavy classes. Endgame PvE prestige ranks and private PvP lobbies are also included. Customization options expand with new colors (Volupus Pink and Thousand Sons Blue), Bulwark cloth and hand recoloring, and a 50% increase in PvP customization rewards. New skins arrive too: an Imperial Fists Champion skin for the Tactical class and a Space Wolves Champion skin for the Vanguard.

Significant balance changes are implemented, most notably an expanded weapon arsenal in PvE. All classes now have a wider weapon selection; the Assault class can finally wield the Power Sword without modifications. Detailed weapon adjustments are available in the patch notes below.

A welcome fix addresses a persistent griefing issue in the Inferno Operation. Players reaching the assembly area in the final stage will now automatically teleport any lagging teammates after a 1:30 minute grace period (with a 15-second advance warning).

Following recent teases of the upcoming Horde mode, the developers addressed community concerns regarding live service elements and "FOMO" events. Earlier this year, Saber Interactive acknowledged player feedback on content and outlined future plans for *Space Marine 2*.
