After months of waiting, fans ofWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine IIcan now test their skills against the Emperor’s foes through Siege. This wave-based horde mode pits your team against increasingly difficult waves of Tyranids and Chaos Space Marines. The odds are stacked against you, but if you coordinate with your team and bring strong weapons, you’ll come out on top.
Fortunately, the Astartes have access to reinforcement options exclusive to this mode. Fight alongside Imperial Guardsman, spawn buffs for your squad, or call in a mighty Dreadnought to help turn the tide. This guide will give a brief overview of how Siege works, including the new Requisition system and how extraction works.
How Siege Mode Works
Siege Mode is Space Marine 2’s take on awave-based horde mode.Your squad will be thrown into an enclosed area and must fight against waves of enemies. Between each wave, your team may purchase Requisition upgrades to restock on supplies, upgrade your damage output, or summon reinforcements to assist with the onslaught.
Waves aren’t just killing enemies. Your team will occasionally be asked to complete objectives—powering generators, investigating corpses, et cetera. If your team can manage to survive five waves, you’ll be given the option to evacuate or descend further into a new sector.Extracting will grant rewards based on how long you’ve survived.Push to higher waves to acquire better rewards, but beware that each sector gets progressively more difficult.
You will face TyranidsandChaos in this playlist. Plan your loadouts accordingly.
There are two difficulty variants: Normal and Hard.Both difficulties function identically, but Hard mode features tougher enemies and moreMajoris and Terminus-tier enemies. If you can handle the added difficulty, Hard mode offers better rewards, as shown below.
Requisition
As you defeat enemies and complete objectives, you’ll earnRequisition.This is a currency you may spend to acquire healing items, ammunition, grenades, and even AI reinforcements to assist you in battle. You can accelerate your Requisition earnings bycompleting objectives listed in the pause menu.There are challenges tied to your current run and your chosen class. Try to complete these as early in the run as possible to acquire buffs and reinforcements for the later rounds.

Evacuation
Once your team completes five waves, you’ll be taken to extraction.You may choose to continue the Siege run or evacuate.Leaving will grant all earned rewards, includingArmory Dataand Requisition Points. Anyone who stays will enter a new sector, facing a new faction in a different arena. You’ll need to survive another five waves before evacuation becomes available again. The more waves your team clears, the better rewards you’ll receive.
