All Game Modes in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2

There are three game modes in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. These are Operations, Campaign, and Eternal War.

Campaign

Campaign is the main story mode for Space Marine 2. This will tell you the complete story of the game and its heroes, and you should complete this before exploring the other game modes as there are some mild spoilers that can be encountered if you donā€™t.

Operations

Operations is the PVE mode in Space Marine 2. There are six missions to conquer here with plenty of reasons to do them over and over again. Unlike Campaign, Operations will allow you to change class and completely customize your Space Marine before heading into combat alongside your friends.

Eternal War

If youā€™re looking to shoot your friends, Eternal War is the mode to try. This is the PVP mode in Space Marine 2, and as you would expect, this is where youā€™ll find a group of other Space Marines and do battle.
