Warhammer 40,000:Space Marine 2features specific currencies that are all unlocked through in-game activities with no microtransactions in sight. These currencies are specific to unlocking upgrades for classes, weapons, and customizing armor, but there is quite a selection of them that needs to beexplained so players better understandhow they can customize their loadouts.
All currencies inSpace Marine 2can be obtained through Operations, the replayable PvE mode, with superior rewards found on increased difficulties. If players want to craft the best loadout forSpace Marine 2, then it’s essential to understand each currency, how they work, and how to get them. Again,there are zero microtransactions inSpace Marine 2.
Every Currency in Space Marine 2
There are 5 total currencies inSpace Marine 2, all of which are obtained by claiming victory in Operations. Operations are repeatable PvE missions that havea further emphasis on co-op, and each currency should be spent on enhancing the specific Class that is tailored to each player’s unique style. Below is each of the 5 currencies, how to get them, and what it is that they do.
Armory Data
The first and most essential currency inSpace Marine 2is Armory Data. This currency is point based, and can be earned through completing Trials for each Class in the Armoring Hall, or repeatedly through Operations of varying difficulties:
Armory Data is noted by the distinct symbol which is a tan circle inside another circle. Players can see their current amount of Armory Data by heading to the Armouring Hall on the Battle Barge and look to the top left to see their total amount.
Armory Data is perhaps the most essential of the currencies, as it can be used on the following:
Master-Crafted Armory Data
Master-Crafted Armory Data is noted by its distinct green symbol, and it is a reward for completing Trials on each Class for the first time, or repeatedly for defeating bosses in Operations and through collecting a Servo-Skull found at random locations during Operations. Any Operation can be completed for Master-Crafted Armory Data, but it must be on the two lower-tier difficulties:
Master-Crafted Armory Data is spent at the Armoring Hall to Master both Standard and Master-Crafted weapons in order to obtain a Mastery Point. Master-crafted weapons require 1500 XP to activate.
Artificer Armory Data
The same symbol as the Master-Crafted Armory Data, except purple and going by Artificer, this upgrade material is only found on Operations that have been started on Threat: Substantial difficulty. Artificer Armory Data isfound on Servo-Skullsand through claiming victory against random boss encounters. Artificer Armory Data is spent on Artificer weapons, which require 7500 XP in that specific weapon to unlock, in order to obtain a Mastery Point.
Relic Armory Data
A gold variant of the Armory Data symbol, Relic Armory Data is by far the hardest of the currencies to obtain, and players can only receive it for collecting Servo-Skulls andclaiming victoryover boss fights in Operations whilst on the Threat: Ruthless difficulty. It’s not going to be easy, but this currency is used to extract Mastery Points off of weapons that have 17000 XP from the Relic category, which are easily the best weapons inSpace Marine 2.
Mastery Points
The last type of currency inSpace Marine 2is Mastery Points. These are only obtained through spending Armory Data on specific weapons. To obtain a Mastery Point, players must first select a weapon, and then spend Armory Data to purchase said available weapon. Once purchased, players can then spend a Master-Crafted/Artificer/Relic Armory Data point to achieve a mastery rank in that specific weapon, thus claiming a Mastery Point.
Mastery Points are spent on specific weapons within their Perk Tree, allowing players to unlock further advantages that could be more damage, faster attack speeds, and maximum ammo reserves, among many other advantages. Mastery Points do not transfer over to different weapons and Classes, so Armory Data should be used wisely on weapons that players wish to see upgraded.
