Space Marine 2 modders have as soon as once more answered gamers’ prayers by placing the axe from Secret Level’s Warhammer 40,000 episode into the recreation.
The Secret Degree Warhammer 40,000 episode, known as And They Shall Know No Concern, is a sequel to Space Marine 2 and stars protagonist Titus as he battles alongside his brothers to defeat the forces of Tzeentch. However whereas Titus seems in the animation as he seems in Space Marine 2, the episode additionally incorporates a weapon gamers have but to see in-game.

There’s even an excellent cool second by which a Space Marine bashes the helm of the axe with a purpose to shift it into the upright place in his glove.
