​Proposal for Campaign Completion Rewards in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2

Subject: Implementation of Incentivized Rewards for Campaign Completion

Currently, in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, completing the campaign only rewards a general completion achievement, which is not specific to any difficulty level. Implementing a reward system for completing the campaign on different difficulties would greatly enhance player engagement and provide additional motivation to complete the campaign at higher difficulty levels. While adding specific achievements for each difficulty is not necessary, it would be a welcomed addition.

To incentivize players and acknowledge their accomplishments, I propose the introduction of exclusive in-game cosmetic rewards for completing the campaign on each difficulty level. These rewards would be lore-friendly and visually distinct, offering a sense of achievement and recognition for player dedication. Additionally, if technically feasible, these rewards could be retroactively added, allowing players who have already completed the campaign to receive them. Notably, all of these cosmetic rewards already exist within the game, meaning they would not need to be created from scratch, reducing development effort.

Proposed Rewards: ( Pictures included )

1. Normal Difficulty Completion Reward: Chairon’s Pauldrons

- Right pauldron featuring a bullet or figurine

- Left pauldron with unique engravings

2. Veteran Difficulty Completion Reward: Gadriel’s Sergeant Insignia

- Left pauldron WITH SERGEANT SYMBOL (Currently inaccessible to players despite being present in the game and not included in the Ultramarines cosmetic pack)

- Right pauldron with a ribbon attachment

3. Angel of Death Difficulty Completion Reward: Lieutenant Titus’ Gauntlets

- Right gauntlet featuring the Inquisition seal

- Left gauntlet with the tactical pad

Benefits of Implementation

1.     Increased Player Engagement: Players will have an added incentive to complete the campaign multiple times at different difficulty levels, increasing replay value.

2.     Enhanced Sense of Achievement: These exclusive cosmetics would serve as badges of honor, allowing players to showcase their achievements in multiplayer or co-op modes.

3.     Lore-Friendly Customization: The proposed rewards align with the game’s rich lore, ensuring immersion is maintained while enhancing customization options.

4.     Community Goodwill: The addition of meaningful rewards acknowledges the efforts of dedicated players, strengthening the connection between the developers and the community, and fostering continued enthusiasm for the game.

By implementing these campaign completion rewards, Space Marine 2 will provide a more fulfilling experience for its player base while reinforcing the challenge and prestige of higher difficulty levels. While also adding much needed missing content like the sergeant symbol... I hope this proposal is given consideration! If you've read this much of the proposal that I've written thank you so much!

Sincerely, Mythic

This is actually good idea. For now I have no reason to replay campaign but this would make me to do so with my Battlebrothers in co op once again - this time on highest difficulty. 

It would be also nice to add Ordeals for each campaign difficulty.

I like this idea, I'd go play the campaign again to get these!

I'd really love for it to be implemented as it would be another way to show off your dedication to the game. Every time I see someone with the new Absolute difficulty cosmetics from co-op it makes me want to play the game more. It would also be a great way to challenge some players that don't see any reason for playing the harder difficulty.

There honestly isn't anything in the game that tells anyone what difficulty you've completed besides achievements which have to be viewed from the respective platform. So the cosmetics would add an in-game way of showing people your achievements.

So would I! I often always check a new games achievements just to see if there is any reason to play the hardest difficulty. I was really disappointed when Space Marine 2 had no in game rewards, or even achievements for beating the game on "Angel of Death". This right here would give me a reason to go and experience it all over again. Thankfully the campaign was amazing in it's own regard as well.

We need this

We really do! I've been playing absolute difficulty the last few days, and I've been working on the shoulder piece. So I don't see why campaign couldn't have rewards as well 🤔

I object! The Ultramarines Sergeant symbol for the pauldrons should be added to PvE without any conditions.

i hope the few of us that ran angels of death difficulty with a couple friends get all the rewards and i don’t have to replay the campaign 🙏🏻

While I can't say I disagree I'm using the campaign proposal to give Saber a business incentive to also add other cosmetics. Hopefully with enough attention we can at the LEAST get a cosmetic that SHOULD already be in the game. I hope you understand where I'm coming from. But yes the Ultramarines Sergeant symbol should have already been accessible to everyone.

That was already included in my proposal as long as the devs are able to implement it. I mentioned that they should be retroactive.

That's what I'm saying... no bragging rights except "Trust me bro." I need something concrete to show my dedication to the emperor. Coop has something for Absolute so why not campaign?​

good idea, you have my bolt brother.

let me know if this is in the ideas section, so I can upvote it there too.

I left a reply to @Predator to let him know to add it. Thank you for your support brother.

As a fan of the sergeant pauldron symbol, I'm 100% with you on this one.
