HUNTING THE BIO-TITAN - Termination LETHAL Difficulty - Space Marine 2 New Operations Mission

[@milkandcookiesTW]

THREE LICTORS AT ONCE. I have some thoughts to share about Lethal Difficulty and the new Operations mission and patch, so stay tuned for that. Will shoot to get another video up today if I can

Things they need to remove are the 20% reduced armour, contested health duration reduction as well as the Coherency leashes. Keep all the rest.

[@nateklempner561]

I'd much prefer they just roll out a brand new MELEE-FOCUSED Majoris version of the Rubrics. Let us actually engage with the parry-dodge-gunstrike game mechanic against Chaos faction more rather than just playing death-paintball with them or chasing the teleporting bastards down to melee them. It's the primary reason Nids are more fun, they give us more opportunities to get executions off to get more armor.

[@mylesdrake2949]

Well the fact there was a gimmick artillery fight was more than I expected. I thought the firing was going to be cutscene and mission end. Glad to see such a show piece actively trying to kill you unlike so many other games.

[@TheRyzzl]

That zoanthrope beam at 6:00 was criminal

[@Ketooey]

Yeah, I've been trying to train myself to dodge Zoanthrope beams later than I usually want to, even if it feels like I can dodge twice and completely get of the way. It seems like using the invul frames in the first quarter of the dodge is the safer bet, once you get the timing down.

[@KomRade493]

this mission is fucking brutal... so many extremius enemies at once

[@sublis939]

That’s not because of the mission, the new lethal difficulty is the reason.

[@EchoObserver9]

@@sublis939 I would love that kind of mode without the forced coherency teamwork mechanic. They could add a new difficulty right under lethal. Or maybe 2 lethal options one with teamwork and one without. For those who have more competitive arranged teams!

[@cyberleaderandy1]

This mission is definitely harder on all levels, not just lethal.

[@DruiD.aprime]

I don't know if i'm wrong but for me the wave of enemies seem hella buggy bro. Out of nothing hundreds of Majoris and Minoris simply appear and i get jumped but all of them at once. I don't remember if it happened before the update, but now it's weird...

[@Cornerboy73]

Just finished my first run at this mission (not on Lethal mind you - that's too tough for me !). I really enjoyed it, it's well-designed with some great detail. Definitely a welcome addition.

It is goofy, yes, but Space Marines are agile and that is expressed in most games by rolling for some reason.

[@StarcraftOakley]

Did you know when you first walk out the door and the hierophant walks past you, you can shoot it with your regular gun and it will do damage to it? It even stops halfway down the hill, and you can keep shooting at it if the angle is good. It will enter the battlefield and be undamageable once you drop down to the final arena.

[@datboi9648]

I’d love to have seen the Bio Titan on its last stretch of life come right up to the position, and made stab at you with its legs and you have to doge or use its bio cannon on its arms at point blank, would have added some dope suspense to the killing blow

[@TrippyTigre]

I was hoping for a generic enemy/boss that will appear in all (of their respective) levels. Although that BioTitan is everything I wanted from an in game depiction. I dream of a day of full representation. Neurolictor/Haruspex miniboss, Barbgaunt/biovore artillery, Parasyte of Mortrex that primarily targets guardsmen and turns them into ripperswarms. A huge gimmick fight with a Knight and a Norn Emissary would make me sell my soul to them. The list goes on infinitely

[@chrishamilton7516]

If we keep supporting the game I’m sure they’ll do it. They’re dedicated to lore accuracy.

[@theunknowntoilet3324]

I find the Lethal Difficulty setting to be quite enjoyable. It seems that some players who are unhappy with it might not be sufficiently prepared, as they are entering the game without fully upgraded weapons and are not even at level 25. Lethal Difficulty is designed to provide a challenge, and I believe that it's important to maintain this aspect of the game. Personally, I've recently acquired the new helmet, and I feel that reducing the difficulty level would diminish the effort that my friends and I have put into the game.

[@sublis939]

Did this mission on lethal yesterday and got the boss to the final health bar and it bloody crashes, like how is there still crashing issues?

[@MacKayVer40k]

I’ll be honest. I’m really digging the new difficulty. I like that it’s not just more health and damage. Forcing players to stick together is huge as well. Fantastic way of weeding out those pesky speed runners. Ahha also having. Multiple extremis 🙏 (except the thropes. They can take a long walk off a short pier still. Ahah
