Space Marine 2 Hotfix 14.1 buffs heroic weapons

Space Marine 2 Hotfix 14.1 is live with buffs for several heroic weapons and fixes for Siege Mode progression. The Heroic Stalker Bolt Rifle now needs three body shots instead of four to trigger an Auspex scan, and its radius rises from eight to 10 meters.

Space Marine 2 Hotfix 14.1: confirmed details

The Heroic Combi-Flamer charges faster, its bolter deals 10% more damage and the flamer barrel can refill from an Ammo Crate. Combi-Melta barrel ammunition can again use the crate. The Heroic Power Fist can fire a melta blast after one held charge, with slightly higher damage after a delayed light attack.

What changes for players

The Stalker change lowers the setup required before a squad benefits from the scan. Restored ammunition sources make the combination weapons more sustainable across long Operations, while the Power Fist gets a faster route to its ranged burst. These buffs still depend on the heroic variants rather than changing every weapon with the same name.

Timing and wider context

The hotfix also reduces damage from a Scarab Occult Terminator Sorcerer teleport, adjusts its follow-up beam timing and fixes swapped Battlefield Condition radiuses. Siege ordeal progress and several server-side mod crashes are included in the general fixes.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 11, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.
