Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is a third-person action game that, sadly, lacks any FOV setting. Thankfully, though, there is a mod that allows you to use higher values of FOV, something that a lot of PC gamers may appreciate.
To be honest, I’ve played over 3 hours and I didn’t have any issues with the default FOV. Still, it’s kind of a bummer that Saber did not include a FOV setting.
The default FOV is around 74. So, by using this mod, you can increase it to either 90 or 102. According to its creator, the mod will not break the game’s special mechanics. Thus, there won’t be any issues with the game’s focus, weapon aiming, and target locking.
You can download the FOV Mod from this link. To install it, you’ll simply have to extract the file to the main Space Marine 2 folder (for example, if you use Steam, the folder is steamapps\common\Space Marine 2\ ).
And that is that. Below you can find a comparison between the default FOV and the modded 90 FOV. The default FOV is really close to Titus and those with small PC monitors may not like it. So, if for some reason you felt the FOV was too low, I suggest using the mod.
Yesterday, Focus Entertainment revealed that the game has sold two million copies on all platforms. The game also had a peak of 225K concurrent players on Steam, meaning that it has sold well on PC. Plus, it has Mostly Positive reviews on Steam.
Finally, it’s worth noting that Space Marine 2 seems pretty optimized on PC. Well, that is if you use a modern-day CPU. After all, the game pushes A LOT of enemies on screen. Regarding its GPU requirements, an NVIDIA RTX2080Ti can push 60fps at 1080p/Ultra.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
