There are 35 Dataslates
23 of them are in the campaign
12 of them are in the Operations mode, with two on each map.
Missing one requires restarting the full level to reach the point you need to find the Dataslate.
We recommend playing on the lowest Operation and Campaign difficulty to find these easily.

Dataslates are the only collectable you need to worry about in Space Marine 2. Trophy hunters will want to find these on each campaign and operation level, as they’ll often give you lore, alongside progress towards 100% completion. Since the way the missions are designed, mission one means you need to replay the entire mission to find the collectable you need. With the missions being fairly long, often ranging between 45-90 mins in most cases, that’s a long mission if you miss the dataslates. Here’s a closer look at where to find all Dataslates in Space Marine 2 to make it easy to get them.

Campaign Dataslate locations

We’ll split the data slate locations in Space Marine 2 into different chapters. We are going through the campaign first, with Operation in the second half of the guide. We’ll go through the campaign and then Operations missions in chronological order too.

Be advised that Dawn’s Descent and Bellem Sempiternus are two levels that are part of the same mission. You need to play through Mission 6 to get both of these map’s data slates. This mission is roughly two hours long, so keep that in mind while playing through the level.
