A moment of joy must be given to the player base of Space Marine 2! An update instigated by Focus Entertainment caused an uproar in the community: From this moment forth, requisitional rewards are earning twice their normal pay! The event will carry itself all the way until May 21; oh, the glory days for grinding!
But, wait; what are we talking about? For the uninitiated, requisition is the currency earned when a player completes a mission or objective. It will be spent on unlocking weapons, upgrades, and cosmetics packs. For a very limited time, such earnings from requisition will be multiplied. Yes, sir: more loot for the same bit of work.
The announcement got quite a number of reactions from the players. While some were excited about it, Doro Deredere jokingly said he already has 2,000 requisitions and has basically bought everything there is to buy. Others, like The Flesh Tearer, suggested the cap may require a reevaluation since many veterans are sitting there maxed out on requisition, with nothing to do about it anymore.
A typical chaos of follow-up reactions by the community ensued, with Wrath_of_Teclis ranting about how drop pods have been ganking him (we’ve all been there, right?), and Creature1833 brought forth a very valid concern: the difficulty curve of the game. Apparently, their kid is finding the game way too punishing, and I am in approval; Space Marine 2 is not easy.
As for the speculation already brewing among the players, LuisFelipe97320 is hopeful for a trailer of Toxic Commando at the Summer Game Fest, while HyruleDeath outright demanded a port to Switch 2. Now, that is a gall move; but hey, one never knows.
Strategy talk: If ever on the plus side of requisition, this event is your golden ticket to stack even more. But you might be one of those folk, just like Shichi_Izanagi, thinking that rewards should never go down, in which case, oh, bad luck, buddy. Focus Entertainment is still keeping quiet about the issue on making this either a permanent or temporary event.
And for those newbies? This is good timing to put on their game faces. Grind out those missions, stack requisition, and unlock all those pretty bits and bobs you have had an eye on to grab soon. Just watch out for those drop pods-unlike them, they know who they wanna smack.
What next? The event has taken off and is prepared, and the community has so many speculations to voice out. Be it for memes, bugs, or just grinding bugs with a power fist (major props to snidlywhiplashn), it is definitely the time to dive back.
Go forth, Space Marines. The Emperor—and your loot stashes—await.
