Playing Space Marine 2 can be exciting, but sometimes you just want to practice on your own without other players around.
Right now, the game doesn’t have a way to play missions offline by yourself.
But don’t worry! We’ve found a trick that lets you play the game alone. We’ll show you how to stop the game from putting you in matches with other players while keeping your PlayStation 5 connected to the internet.
This way, you can take your time to learn new maps and figure out how to beat different enemies without any pressure. And while you’re at it, you might want to enhance your experience with the Ultramarine Champions Pack, offering exclusive in-game content!
Why Play Offline?
Choosing to play operations mode offline can provide several benefits:
- Familiarize Yourself: Learn the maps and enemy types without the pressure of other players.
- Focus on Objectives: Play at your own pace and explore different strategies.
- Avoid Interference: Prevent other players from “hoovering” up resources or objectives.
Step-by-Step Guide to Playing Solo
Step 1: Open Network Settings
First, you’ll need to disconnect from the game servers without affecting your overall internet connectivity. Follow these steps:
- Open Settings: On your PlayStation 5, go to Settings.
- Network: Navigate to the Network section.
- Run Internet Connection Test: Select the option to Run Internet Connection Test.
Step 2: Disconnect From Servers
Running the internet connection test will temporarily disconnect you from the game servers. This confirms that you’re not matched with random players when you start an operation.
- Important: This method keeps your PlayStation 5’s internet connection active. So, any games downloading or background activities will continue uninterrupted.
Step 3: Re-launch the Game
After the internet connection test:
- Re-launch Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2: Open the game again from your main menu.
- Reconnect to Servers: The game will reconnect to the servers when you start it again.
Step 4: Play Solo With AI Teammates
When you jump into an operation:
- The game will load with you and two AI teammates.
- You won’t be entirely alone, as these AI teammates will provide some level of support.
This workaround allows you to experience operations mode in a more controlled environment, which can be beneficial for learning the ropes of the game.
Future Updates and Expectations
While this workaround is effective for now, it does come with certain limitations.
However, there is hope that an offline mode option might be added in future updates. Saber Interactive, the game developers, could potentially roll out this feature based on user feedback and demand along with some customization options.
Conclusion
This guide provides a useful workaround for those wanting to enjoy Space Marine 2 operations mode offline.
It’s not a perfect solution, but it lets you play alone without turning off the internet on your PlayStation 5. We hope the game makers will add a real single-player mode in the future. For now, though, this method works pretty well if you want to play on your own.
