Which Mode Should You Play First in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Offers

Some fans who aren’t interested in the story mode might be tempted to jump straight into Operations or Eternal War. However, is this possible?

At the beginning of the game, only the Campaign mode is accessible. You must progress through the Campaign to unlock both Operations and Eternal War modes. Both modes become available once you meet Chairon and Gadriel, your squadmates.

Which Mode to Play First?

Once you’ve reached the point where Operations and Eternal War become available, you can choose to play either mode. However, the developer recommends starting with the Campaign. Completing the Campaign first allows you to familiarize yourself with the game’s mechanics and get a general feel for the gameplay. Plus, since the Campaign can be played cooperatively, you can enjoy it with friends while waiting to unlock Operations and Eternal War.

Which Mode to Play Second?

After finishing the Campaign, the next step is to tackle the six Operations missions. These missions provide additional story details and are a great opportunity to level up your classes. Operations are not one-time events; you can replay them as much as you like to further upgrade your gear and abilities.

What Mode to Play Last?

Once you’ve mastered the game’s mechanics and enjoyed the previous modes, it’s time to dive into the competitive world of Eternal War. This 6v6 multiplayer mode offers countless hours of fun against other players. It’s likely where you’ll spend most of your time moving forward.

This is the recommended order for experiencing the modes, though you’re free to deviate if you prefer. While you can jump straight into Operations and Eternal War after unlocking them, doing so might skip some of the intended developer experience and progression.
