After releasing the big Anniversary Update for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 last week, Saber Interactive has now pushed out hotfix 10.1 on all platforms, and this applies balance changes to the third-person shooter.
Console gamers will see this download appear as Space Marine 2 update 1.010.001, and this should be a small download.
Expect a plethora of bugs to be squashed (technical bugs, and not Tyranids), which are all detailed in the official patch notes.
