How to get and use Armory Data in Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2

Armory Data is one of the key resources in Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 that you will need to get your hands on to unlock stronger weapons in PvE Operations. This is one of the most important forms of early-game progressions in the RPG, and you will need to find ways of farming them as you make your way through the various missions.

However, getting Armory data is a bit more difficult than customizing your Astrates’ appearance. There are a certain number of ways that you will be able to obtain this resource in Space Marine 2 and our guide below goes over just that.

Here are some of the best ways of getting more Armory Data in Space Marine 2:

1) Complete Operation Missions

Operation Missions are one of the most reliable ways of getting Armory Data in the game. Every operation you clear will provide you with a particular amount of it, however, the amount and quality of the Armory Data that you receive will depend on the difficulty of the mission.

Rarer Armory Data will require higher difficulty settings.

2) Search for hidden Servo-skulls

Every Operation Mission will have Servo-skulls hidden away throughout the side areas. Once you interact with them you will be awarded with a bonus Armoury Data component. So when you successfully complete the mission, you will get additional Armory Data from it.

3) Finish all Class Trials

Class Trials are tutorials for your chosen class in Space Marines 2. You will find these trials in the Armory Hall of the Battle Barge and completing them will give you one Armory Data of green rarity.

Each class has three Trials that you will be able to complete. Hence, you will be able to acquire a total of 18 Armory Data of green rarity by completing all the trials.

All Armory Data rarity

Armory Data has three rarities and to get the higher rarity ones you will need to complete missions on harder difficulties:

Armory Data is used to get your hands on stronger weapon variants in Operations Mode. These weapon variants can be broken down into the following:

Weapon VariantHow to unlock
StandardUnlocked by default.
Master-CraftedRequires Armoury Data of green rarity
ArtificerRequires Armoury Data of purple rarity
RelicRequires Armoury Data of orange rarity

The rarity unlock is per weapon type and you will need to earn XP with Standard-rarity weapons before you are able to get the Master-Crafted upgrade. So once you have slain enough enemies to have acquired the requisite amount of mastery you will then be able to invest your Armory Data to unlock higher weapon tiers. 

Once you have unlocked the tier, you will be able to get your hands on any weapon within that rarity group with Requisition Points.
