This uses the currently trending Astartes Overhaul mod, which adds new enemy types, allows teams to run multiple of the same class, allows classes to use different weapons, buffs weapons to be "lore accurate", adds new executions, and more. Link in the description. What do you guys think? Other than making the game a bit too easy its been quite fun to play!
Currently some features have been disabled by the mod developer until they fix them, but the difficulty spikes quite a bit when you get several terminus enemies spawn (and even some simultaneously).
They buff the weapon because of ungodly amount of extremis and terminus enemy spawns, you won't complain when you have to kill 3 helbrutes/carnifex per map.
Too easy or not, it's refreshing to see an oft maligned weapon actually look competitive for a change. That and the ability to have more weapons per class, and actually show the weapon you aren't using attacked to your armor is great! Hopefully they at least add those cosmetic changes.
I know it’s meant to be a game rather than a simulation but it would be nice if the bolters reflected the lore rather than feel like I’m launching marshmallows downrange.
@@manizarei2134 I've hit 13-16k melee with my chainsword on Tactical as well, but it was due to weak damage from team mates, large amounts of minoris spawn, and having a Bulwak and/or Vanguard. The double stomp combo racks up huge damage at the end of Inferno if you just keep getting waves of minoris. I think I average around 8-9k melee on tactical with the chainsword.
This mod is amazing and adds some nice variety to the game, and gives you that power fantasy. Its impressive its this good so early in the ganes life and gets me excited for what more we'll see in the future. If you know how to mod you can use this mod and further increase the spawn count and use with vanilla weapon stats if you want to make it harder.
@PrimarisAngelusMortis Yeah it does, not just because of weapon buffs but because you usually have more alloes and they all do more damage. That's why if you increase the spawn count even more it can make it harder and it feels even more like a warzone
@@PrimarisAngelusMortis there's an optional download for this mod and you will fight a hive tyrant in the middle of the game. So it can be challenging in the last two difficulties.
@@Leo-p4x8b That's a Combi-Bolter. The actual Storm Bolters aren't jury rigged, they're purpose built and more effective than the prototype Combi-Bolters.
Really the only true struggle for an Astartes in battle with Tyranids is being totally overran. I know they had to make it challenging but thats how they couldve made it challenging. Up the damage, up the speed, up the enemy wave count, and this game would achieve perfection
Ok i might be a simpleton…but my favorite part about this isnt just the badass buffed weapons, the fact you can now carry a sword and bolter etc….its that all of your equipment and weapons are visible on your body when not in use. That little touch alone adds so much visually to this game!!
bumping difficulty by making enemies a bullet sponge is not the way brother, there are many other ways to bump difficulty. buffing bolt weapons and making the game more difficult are not mutually exclusive. they could do many other things. lower our health pools, increase enemy count (needs to be more minoris enemies anyway), increase the number of boss encounters, add more minibosses, add mission modifiers that increase difficulty and add replayability like darktide does, lower the advantage executions give you and make them less frequent, lower the advantage rolling gives you and make it less necessary by decreasing enemies reliance on bullet storms to kill us. this is the way brother. I dont even care to play space marine 2 anymore because it feels like a peashooter game. its awful and not fun in its current state. and not because its difficult, I can solo lethal difficulty and I still dont want to play the game. until space marine 2 becomes more fun to play, I will stick with darktide and astartes overhaul
TAKE NOTES SABER INTERACTIVE!!! I would be playing your PEASHOOTER game EVERY SINGLE DAY if it played like THIS!!!! it has been such a bummer to me how space marine 2 doesnt make me feel like a space marine, it makes me feel like a PEASHOOTING ROLLING SIMULATOR! I solo lethal difficulty and still would rather play darktide because this game is no fun in its current state
What Class is this? Assault? I thought assault class doesn't have a power sword? And is that heavy gun being used as a bolt pistol? I am so confused lol.
Okay but if you go for realism you shouldnt be able to just pull bolters and swords out of thin air. There should be a proper time delayed swapping between primary weapon and secondary weapon + sword to necessitate at least some strategic thinking
@ringard5172 my impression was he was going for lore accuracy. After playing themod for 2 days, unfortunately it just feels like a cheat code, too bad it has some nice concepts but the moronic weapon loadoutd ruin the whole thing for me
@@SerPitr Well, there is nothing wrong with being a purist. For example I'm a purist for the first game and this mod is the only thing that allows you to experience it's superior game design. Hence this mod is the only right way to play this second rate repost add-on we call the second game.
@ringard5172 I dont quite get it how a w40k purist could be ok with devastators carrying a thunderhammer in their pocket that they can magically conjure up whenever needed but other than that I d love to have the campaign intercessor in operations
Bro got a heavy bolter as a pistole idk about that one, breaks immersion looks off. I like the rest of the mod tho having a power sword on tac is dope (as well as acceptable in the lore) and should be an option. The obvious improvement to bolters is nice and well received more so with this being lethal and being able to get majors into execute state within 6-8 rounds is lore accurate, as apposed to the 31 rounds it currently takes from a heavy bolt rifle. Before the buff bolters received it took 52 rounds from a heavy bolt rifle to accomplish the same (on one target) this is 1/5th of the total ammo reserve of that rifle. Heavy bolt rifle having a ammo reserve of 211 on average with a 50 round drum. I know ur using the auto bolt rifle just to be clear but yeah much better math and % values on the damage output.
The game gets easier yes, but thankfully lethal is still challenging enough. I do hope he experiments more with larger horde size or longer waves, especially for chaos (but please not the marines theyre awful).
Thats why there are extra spawns with the occasional spawn of mini-bosses (more often than vanilla). I like how weapons are buffed, for a gun that is as big as a person's torso and pepsi can sized bullets filled with explosives and boosted by a small rocket, it should be way stronger in the game. Imo, the damage modded still dont feel realistic or accurate
And you think bullet sponges are a better option? lol weapon buffs and increasing the games difficulty are not mutually exclusive, I solo lethal difficulty and I still think they should buff bolt weapons. The game is not fun when you are a space marine and your explosive rifle feels like a peashooter.
I wish there was a mod where you are the only one in the mission with no AI team members. But I can see where that can be a problem, like when you go down.
Armor piercing munition are either inert and use speed to penetrate their targets (AP rounds, APFSDS…) , or use a shaped charge which explodes outside the target and uses the focused energy of the explosion to pierce through armor. The « exploding inside the target » scenario would only happen against relatively soft enemies, like regular humans.
Things are great, but saber doesnt have much experience with properly balancing skills, perks etc. The story imo was great and faithful to the lore. But game mechanics and skill balancing, they need to hire devs who are experts in that area. Fatshark is pretty good with skills and perk balancing, they also have experience with 40k lore. They just have a knack for making combat, movements flow very smoothly and crisp.
Місяць тому
Unfortunately, they make live service games instead of singleplayer. I doubt seriously they'd help their only serious competition.
Fatshark is pretty good yeah but itll take them 2 years to make a weapon not shit (thammer anyone?). Feels like saber has technical constrains of this being a crossplatform title, and that the game is very CPU bound.
Cheating against whom, ai? Other players that are not in the session? Cheating implies somehow someone else had his properties or rights harmed or affected via deceit. Wheres that here?
Another vanilla zealot, theres only 3 reason to think like that: a) You're corporate sheep, when corporate drops a DLC that is already available in mod for free. You will not think about it. Minecraft mob votes is an example. b) You're the corporate itself. Mod existence is a threat for you, because you can't milk money out consumer for your puny ideas. Because that idea is available for free in mod. c) You're againts creativity and fun. Mods are like different type of gameplay which can increase the repeatability of a game and its optional, there also mod to make the game even tougher. But for you, you dont play for the fun. You only play to finish the game, and then the game is dead in your book.

I know it’s meant to be a game rather than a simulation but it would be nice if the bolters reflected the lore rather than feel like I’m launching marshmallows downrange.
I like how the weapons or stored aswell on the actual marine
I love the Power Sword on my Bulwark, I barely even use my gun if the fights go right. I would use it on every class if I could.
Meanwhile i rush with my assault blood angel with chainsword getting the highest dps everytime but tbh i would die if there is no bulwark
While power sword being super string, I feel no "impact" when using it. every other melee feels alright.

More Astartes Overhaul gameplay!
I was not expecting the assault bolter sidearm
Love that helmet crest on tactical
The only thing I liked is the guns visible on the character. There is any separate mod for this?
is there a mod that allows for more than 3 people to play in operations?
Can anyone tell me what pistol he used. Is that came from special purchase or not. That bolter pistol can shoot rapid
Malum Caedo mode :D
About how much damage boost does this give the ad-clearing bolters?
how do you pick which class your teammates are?
Wait a min this a bulwerk with an automatic weapon or tactical with a power sword?
Very cool! This only for pcs right?
Yes, Skyrim is the only PS/Xbox game to allow mods.
@@jamesbrice3267 snowrunner
Console players can still hop into a lobby running the mod but they will not be able to use custom weapons or be able to have unlocked arsenals.
does this work with the campaign (the damage increases i mean)?
