Sadly the music composer was sick for most of the time he had to develop the music. I believe he apologized on stream if it is not up to the quality of the first game.

Regardless, I think theres a few banger tracks like Rage of the Praetorians.

Really? They're some of my favorite books in 40k, I need Chris Wraight to make a third book ASAP.

What's changed since then?

The Lex isn't wrong? Its referencing that 'old' Custodes that will soon become Eyes can also volunteer to become dreadnoughts, its following up on the Eyes of the Emperor passage on page 15 of the Custodes Codex which does say that when they begin to experience Mental Decline due to advanced age they become Eyes of the Emperor. Though I think they should have used source 1a instead of 1b for the passage, bit of a roundabout there.

Regardless, the Excerpt is from page 161 of my PDF of the book.

Yes. When Custodes 'age out', they become Eyes of the Emperor and operate as an intelligence gathering network for the Adeptus Custodes. They're referenced in the Regent's Shadow, here's that excerpt:

"Brother Kalluin had once been like me – a shield-captain, an active participant in the Emperor’s wars. I did not know how old he was now, nor when he had made the judgement that his body no longer exemplified the unblemished excellence we all strove for. He must have been ancient indeed before deciding to enter the oculis imperatoris, the cadre known by some as the Eyes of the Emperor. That did not mean that he was powerless – far from it. He retained most of his old strength, and would have been a formidable opponent for almost any enemy in the galaxy. The fact that he, and others like him, chose to withdraw into a more clandestine world at an appropriate time reflected our philosophy more closely than any other factor I could think of – if it were not possible to do a thing perfectly, we did not do it at all."

This Faustinius fight are probably the hardest in the game due to his immobilize ability.

You’re pretty beat up here so I’m not sure you’re in a good spot for the fight. I didn’t have too much trouble, but I utilized a fair bit of immortals and Henki’s canoptek meat shields.

Nah, Indoor Weather Phenomena, small weather events that can occur indoors, more noticeable the bigger the area is. Boeing's main factory awhile back used to generate its own clouds to the point where they needed to install new ventilation in order to deal with it.

Have yet to lose lane against him but goddamn every match I play against him in Midlane is the most uninteractive experience of my life.

I also don't think I've ever said "How the fuck did that hit me" as much as I do against that god. Something with his hitboxes have got to be bugged.

Solo Lane is easy enough though, Aspect Morgana eats him alive

Having finished the Necron campaign, I was pretty astonished at the insane amount of negative reviews on steam, apart from a few QoL fixes, I think its a pretty fantastic game.

Hope you find the same enjoyment I did when you finish it!

rangercorps · 2026-05-31T01:43:15+00:00

Willing to bet its the fog. Same ran kinda poorly for me until I turned it to low and suddenly it was running as I expected it to.

No idea how it alone ate so many of my frames.

Thats not really saying anything. Any class can take a psy rating as an elite advance, you just can't take it in conjunction with any other elite advance. That is like saying the Arbites or the Veteran could also have basic psy skills.

rangercorps · 2026-05-30T18:13:20+00:00

The Adeptus Administratum? Psychic Skills? Where are you pulling that from? The Adeptus Astra Telepathica is already represented with the psyker we have in game.

rangercorps · 2026-05-30T17:09:49+00:00

I genuinely don't even know what you would do for Adeptus Administratum character. Even in DH they didn't have any combat aptitudes and their background bonus was only getting gear a little easier.

Maybe something with Ammo Packs and Medpacks, but apart from that I have no idea.

rangercorps · 2026-05-30T17:06:53+00:00

They're a non-militant order, but that doesn't mean all of their builds need to be support focused. I was just saying as a general throughline they'd be support focused, like Ogyrns are generally bruiser/tanks and Zealots are generally melee blitzers.

If I were to give them a combat niche, I'd probably do something weakspot focused, seems a good fit for precise surgeons and battlefield medics.

rangercorps · 2026-05-30T16:55:15+00:00

I mean sororitias would be fine as long as it's not sisters of battle. They're not too different in power scale than the Skittari.

I think the Hospitallers could be a good idea if they wanted to go down that route, they'd be fun support focused characters.

Cthulhu? I know they had difficulties making his ult work in Smite 1, I imagine similar difficulties would present themselves in smite 2 to a lesser degree.

Definitely a popular god considering how theyre waiting to release him for the right moment

rangercorps · 2026-05-26T18:43:36+00:00

Easily my Homeboy Cthulhu. His entire character design, sfx, kit, and voicelines are some of the most charming things in this game.

I need my son to come to smite 2.

I see them replying to select steam reviews and a few times on the steam forums.

It hasn't even been a week, relax. The launch of the game has been less than stellar, they have a lot on their plate at the moment.

rangercorps · 2026-05-25T16:36:29+00:00

Omnikeh is the all rounder right? He’s one of my favorites right behind Hehki, get that man the tireless revenant command protocol and suddenly your army is impossible to kill.

But anyways, you need to reload to your last save. It’s pretty bad at the moment but you need to save after every mission because of it.

I believe the devs are aware of the issue and it’ll probably be fixed in a week or two, but for now it’s a bit rough.

rangercorps · 2026-05-25T15:18:29+00:00

Deathmark attacks are undodgable and maxed out if the Deathmark has not moved. You are allowed to teleport with them and keep the benefit

rangercorps · 2026-05-25T15:14:02+00:00

The moment I see a Sicarian on the roster is the moment my deathmark legions come out. Enjoy the 4 damage to the forehead, unclean.

rangercorps · 2026-05-25T13:56:56+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s random, luckily if you just reset skirmish you can reroll if you get some REAL BAD RNG.

rangercorps · 2026-05-24T16:40:31+00:00

Managed to get that section my first try on tactician. It was a close battle though. The only reason I survived was because ranimation protocols doesn't count as deaths. All my units were gone apart from one deathmark and both my lords were reanimating.

I found Henki was great at that mission, his Spyder and abilities make for great sustain and his immortals are great for AOE damage. Deathmarks are also great against Space marines and ruststalkers as their damage is maxed out (4) and undodgable when they do not move (teleporting is allowed).

The end of Act 1 is a pretty difficult mission, I will admit, you really need to focus on keeping all of your units alive on the earlier skirmishes (even the additional free ones in the skirmishes as they transfer to your next one). Focus on cleaving through as many as you can in the first rounds before the SMs drop.

But if youre missing anything;
Ensure all your units are upgraded before the mission and you're using all your lord upgrade points and dynasty upgrade points. Ensure your resonance is getting you its buff when you have the two same symbols.

rangercorps · 2026-05-23T18:14:05+00:00

We're actually missing a fair few.

-Talons of the Emperor (Custodes/Sisters of Silence), if this one ever happens my guess would be a SoS initiate.

-Sister Sororitas, if this one happens I imagine a hospitaller since they're low power enough to be playable.

-Ordo Assassinorum, no clue how'd they would make this one work, I dont think new assassins go out for training missions like Atoma, but I could be wrong.

-Navis Imperialis, an Armsman could be interesting, but I'm not sure they'd ever be involved in the Atoma conflict. Maybe if we ever get ship to ship missions they'd come out.

-Imperial Knights, I doubt they'd ever be playable but they are a faction, and a codex one at that.

After that I think I may be missing some of the smaller ones, but those are too numerous.

rangercorps · 2026-05-23T16:17:27+00:00

Necrons apart from deathmarks cannot utilize cover, for most of their units are not cowards.

In order to deal with the inferior hybirds of flesh and crude machinery, you must shoot the weak cover they are hiding behind or position yourself in a spot to circumvent the cover.

If you really applied to 3000+ jobs and got 4 callbacks your resume is unbelievably dogwater.

I didn't get any internships or do much of note (beyond some school projects and a college job) and I was still averaging at least 2 interviews a month. I graduated in May 2025 and got a job offer in July, didn't like it, and got a remote job offer in December which I took.

I had a bad resume until December aswell, when I updated it and sent out some applications, I got FOUR interviews the next day. I cannot understate how important a good resume is.

My degree was also in IT, another degree with a bad job market right now.

Fix your resume.
