How to unlock multiplayer in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2

To unlock multiplayer in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, you must complete the game’s prologue mission. This is essentially one decently long tutorial mission that teach💖es you how to use simple weapons, some useful techniques, and the overall flow and what to expect from the game.

It does not matter 𓃲what difficulty you start your campaign on. You can change that anytime after. Hoꦿwever, it’s better to start on lower difficulties if you aren’t too familiar with these 🧸types of horde shooter games.

Upon completing the first mission, you’ll see a few cutscenes and be taken to the central hub, where you wi🦩ll take on various missions and 💯other activities. Right before taking on your first mission of the game, you will get a notification on your screen that “Online play is available now.” 

You can then invite frie✃nds to join your squadꦇ and head to the Battle Map to start a multiplayer session.
