A special note from the devs for Space Marine 2 patch notes 4.0

“With Patch 3 we have noticed that Operations mode became noticeably easier, especially Chaos operations. We are happier with what we have right now compared to what we had on release, because before Patch 3 Chaos missions were unpopular. Still, we think that currently Operations mode is a bit too easy.

Overall these changes are going to make Operations mode harder, but it is difficult to measure by how much. We will continue to monitor those changes and will continue to adjust the balance of Operations mode. This is not the last change.”

PVP

Increased delay between announcer messages in PvP.
The starting animation of the Grapnel Launcher for the Vanguard is shorter in PvP.
Fixed Power Fist in PvP dealing too much damage with short charged attacks.

Enemy Dodges: Globally replaced full invulnerability on dodge moves of enemies with heavy melee damage resistance.
Rubric Marine with Boltgun: Disengage teleport max distance is slightly reduced.

Customisation

More options for colours customisation for Chaos:
- Tertiary colours: Sotek Green, Night Lords Blue, Death Guard Green, Khorne Red.
Decal colours: Sotek Green, Khorne Red.
Colours: Added Liberator Gold colour to default for primary and secondary colours palettes.
Fixed a lot of issues with display of colours, now they should be more lore accurate (Mechanicus Standard Grey, Ushabti Bone, Phoenician Purple, The Fang, Iron Hands Steel, Retributor Armour).
Decals: Added new Chaos faction decals for the right shoulder.
