Space Marine 2gives players more options when it comes to customizing their own Astartes compared to the original game, from changing each individual armor piece to swapping out the decals adorning them. This includes the ability to hide or show helmets, both on the singleplayer and multiplayer experiences.
While some players may prefer to see the faces of Titus and the rest of the Ultramarines when fighting, others may want a more authentic feel, especially once theTyranid Swarm starts barreling down on them inSpace Marine 2.Here’s a quick guide covering how to toggle helmets in-game.
How To Toggle Helmet Settings In Space Marine 2 Campaign
Unlike the first game, players can make Titus and his squadmates wear their helmets during the campaign mission. To do this,go to the Game section of the Settings menu, and look for theHelmet Visibilitysetting. It’s right at the top of the list, so it should be hard to miss.
This setting only affects the main characters of the game as they trudge throughall theSpace Marine 2campaign missions. Between deployments, players can change what kind of helmet Titus wears via the Edit Armor option at the Armouring Hall aboard the Battle Barge, assuming they have any cosmetics unlocked.
How To Toggle Your Helmet In Space Marine 2 Operations And Eternal War Modes
The Helmet Visibility option has no effect when it comes tothe PvE or PvP modes ofSpace Marine 2. Here,all character customization is done at the Armouring Hall. This covers the option to wear a multitude of different helmets per class, including the option to wear no helmet at all.
To change your helmet, first pick any available armor set from theEdit Armor menu, then select a vacant slot in theCustom Armor Set sectionon the lower left. This will let you customize individual armor pieces. Players who want to edit the color of their armor must go to the Astartes Chapters tab and do the same thing there.
As of writing,customization for Heretic Astartes inSpace Marine 2is limited to colors only. Each class has a unique marine model based on certain Chaos Legions, such as the Night Lords and World Eaters. However, players cannot modify those models beyond changing their heraldry options.
