What mods should you be using for Space Marine 2? We’ve hand-picked our favorite mods for Space Marine 2, ones we think you should use to control the corruption of the Chaos Marines and Defend the Imperium.
Most of these mods are for use in the single-player campaign. It’s important to avoid using them in cooperative or online modes, as doing so could result in a server ban.

The Best Space Marine 2 Mods
The modding community is ramping up its efforts, resembling the chitinous tide of Tyranids, and as a result, we’ve picked out numerous mods that can serve the Imperium effectively.
We plan to return every month to explore the latest creations shared by the talented community. Below is our curated list of mods that we believe will be particularly useful. A big thank you to all the authors featured on this page and to the wider community for their incredible work.
Play Campaign Missions in Operations
For obvious reasons, the base game doesn’t allow you to play campaign missions in operations, but thankfully modder KillerWhaley has unlocked this feature so now you can play through the campaign with your chosen class and two AI teammates. You can reply most of the missions this way, but the developer did point out that it could be buggy. You can download it here.
Instant Armor Unlock
There aren’t any cheats available in Space Marine 2 to help you unlock some of the armour cosmetics that you get when progressing through the game, but KillerWhaley’s handy little mod will save you some time by letting you personalise your Space Marine just the way you want from the start. All the victory requirements have been removed. You can download it here.
Widescreen Mod Fix for Space Marine 2
While native widescreen monitor support won’t be available at launch, it’s scheduled for release in fall 2024. However, if you can’t wait, the modding community has developed a tool that allows you to unlock widescreen functionality right away. NOTE: The mod has now been removed due to a copyright claim, but we’re looking to if there’s a secondary source for it.
- Install Flawless Widescreen: Flawless Widescreen
- Copy the Flawless_Widescreen_Plugins_1.0.40 content to the root installation of Flawless Widescreen (C:\Program Files (x86)\Flawless Widescreen)
- Now open WWZ UW permanent.exe, point to the game EXE and patch it. Location of the file: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer 40000 - Space Marine 2\client_pc\root\bin\pc\Warhammer 40000 Space Marine 2 - Retail.exe”
High CPU Priority Mod for Space Marine 2
For all the old-timers in the Imperium, if your CPU is struggling to run Space Marine 2, ChemBoy1’s mod could be the solution. This mod applies a simple registry edit to enable High CPU Priority for the Space Marine 2 executable, which can help stabilise performance, especially on lower-end CPUs. You can download it here.
More CORPSE
You can almost smell the foul stench of torn Tyranid flesh as you cut through them with your Chainsword, but where are the bodies? Do you want to witness the full carnage you’ve unleashed on the battlefield? MoiCestTOM wants to see more destruction, so now you can use this mod to increase the limit of ragdoll “corpse”.
