Introducing New Stages and Powerful Weapons
The โForges of Corruptionโ expansion promises to add significant content to Warhammer 40K: Boltgun. Some of the new stages include those that explore the dooms of a Manufactorum facility. These stages are full of Chaos heretics and daemons so that players can explore hectic and action-packed experiences.

In addition to new stages, the expansion also introduces new enemies. Players will be able to battle against the Chaos Space Marines Black Legion, Black Legion Havoc, and the Helbrute. The Black Legion Havoc is armed with heavy weapons and the Helbrute is a Chaos Space Marine dreadnought mecha.
In order to counter these new threats, players will be equipped with new weapons. Other powerful additions to the armory include the Multi-Melta, a gun that shoots powerful gouts of flame and the Missile Launcher, which fires unguided missiles.
Addition of Free Horde Mode DLC
The most interesting addition to the โForges of Corruptionโ expansion is the free Horde Mode DLC. This mode tests the skill of the players and allows them to fight as many waves of powerful enemies as they can. This provides more gameplay value for the game, which allows players to test their ability against constant swarms of Chaos enemies.
Through a tweet, Warhammer said:
