How to Get Accolades in Space Marine 2: Every Source

Here is how to get Accolades in Space Marine 2 in November 2026: complete the weekly Stratagem, reach wave 15 in Siege once a week, play your weekly Eternal War matches and pick up daily Stratagems and community events on top. The weekly sources alone are worth up to 450 Accolades a week before dailies, according to the Patch 13.0 notes, and the balance is capped, so steady weekly play beats marathon sessions. This guide lists every source with its official value and the small rules that cost players rewards.

We checked this against the official Patch Notes 10.0, 13.0 and 14.0, the monthly Community Updates from December 2025 to October 2026, and Saber's support article on Accolades in November 2026.

What Accolades Are and Where You Spend Them

Accolades are the blue currency introduced with the Stratagems mode in Patch 10.0 on 4 September 2025. Saber's support site notes that players also call them blue points, blue chips, heroic points or tokens. They are separate from Requisition Points and Armoury Data, which you spend in the Armoury on perks, weapon upgrades and heraldry, and they cannot be converted from those currencies.

You spend Accolades in the Refinement & Redemption shop on the Battle Barge. That shop sells three kinds of things worth saving for.

• Heroic weapons, the signature-perk variants added in batches since Patch 10.0. Our Heroic weapons list and buying guide covers every one released so far.
• Heroic armour pieces, such as the Patch 15.0 Crusade Ancient Shoulder Pad and Assault Iron Halo.
• Older event cosmetics. When the shop launched, the developers said a selection of skins from past time-limited Community Events, like the Porphyr Shield Chainsword skin and the Mark X Tacticus breastplate with three skulls, would be purchasable with Accolades.

In the October 2025 Community Update, the developers turned down a request to switch Accolades for Requisition Points, saying instead that new ways to earn them would come through play. That promise held: Siege and PvP both became Accolade sources during 2026.

It helps to keep the two shop currencies straight. Requisition Points come from ordinary Operations and also buy some items in the same Refinement & Redemption shop; for example, the October 2026 Community Update says the Victrix Honour Guard Storm Shield will move there with Patch 17 and be unlockable with Requisition. Saber's support page puts the Requisition cap at 2,000, and anything earned above it is discarded. So the two currencies have different ceilings and different sources, and a full Requisition wallet tells you nothing about your Accolade balance. Check both before a long play session, since wasting either is easy once you stop watching the numbers.

Every Weekly Source, With Official Values

Weekly activities are the backbone of your income. Patch 13.0 on 21 May 2026 rebalanced them and published exact numbers, and Patch 14.0 added PvP on top.

• Weekly Stratagem on Normal: 125 Accolades.
• Weekly Stratagem on Hard: 175 Accolades.
• Siege, 15 waves on Normal, once per week: 50 Accolades.
• Siege, 15 waves on Hard, once per week: 100 Accolades.
• Eternal War participation: weekly Accolade rewards added in Patch 14.0 on 28 July 2026. The patch notes do not state the amount, so check the in-game tracker.

Patch 13.0 says the total available per week without dailies rose from 350 to 450, so the Stratagem and Siege rewards appear to stack across Normal and Hard. If you can clear Hard versions, do both difficulties: the Normal runs are faster and still count. Note that Siege rewards are tied to reaching wave 15, a rule Patch 14.0 made explicit, so a run that ends at wave 14 pays nothing toward the weekly bonus. The Chaos version of Siege added in October counts as Siege as well; our Chaos Siege mode guide explains how that mode differs.

Weekly Resets and the Lectern of Oaths

Weekly Stratagems reset every Wednesday, a schedule the developers confirmed in the December 2025 Community Update. Plan your Hard attempts early in the week, so a failed run still leaves days to retry with a better squad.

Your weekly progress is tracked by the Lectern of Oaths. That matters when something goes wrong: Hotfix 14.1 fixed a bug where Accolades were not granted after a Weekly Siege or Weekly Eternal War even though the Lectern counted the activity. If you see a completed oath but no currency, check the latest patch notes for a fix, and use Saber's support article on restoring Accolades and Requisition Points if it still has not arrived.

Each weekly Stratagem is not random. According to the September 2025 Community Update, all 52 weekly Stratagems are hand-crafted, each pairing a fixed set of Battlefield Conditions with a specific Operation, and some are designed to be hard while others are meant to be fun. Daily Stratagems, by contrast, roll random conditions, which is why some daily combinations feel odd.

Daily Stratagems and Clearing Hard Mode

Daily Stratagems are the flexible top-up. The developers raised the daily Accolade payout in Patch 10.1 after feedback, and a daily run fits into a short session. The trade-off is that random Battlefield Conditions sometimes stack badly, so skip a daily that looks miserable rather than wiping three times.

Hard is where the bigger weekly number lives, and the developers have said they built Stratagems to hold the hardest content in the game and do not plan to make weekly Hard Stratagems easier. A few habits make Hard clears far more consistent.

1. Read the Battlefield Conditions before you queue. Conditions such as friendly fire, a stalking Lictor or extra Extremis spawns change which class and loadout you want.
2. Bring a full squad of max-level classes. In October 2026 the Game Director said a level lock is planned for end-game activities like Hard Stratagems and Hard Siege, which tells you the intended audience.
3. Coordinate roles. A team with a healer-style Bulwark and a crowd-clearing Heavy survives far more modifiers than three damage dealers.
4. Learn the Operation first. If you have only played a map once, run it on lower difficulty levels before attempting a Hard modifier stack.

Avoid farming Custom Stratagems for currency. Patch 12.0 added private Custom Stratagems where you choose the conditions yourself, but every reward is switched off in that mode.

Events, Twitch Drops and One-Off Rewards

The other big source is time-limited events, which have regularly paid 100 to 200 Accolades. They come and go, so treat this list as a record of what has been offered rather than what is live now.

• November 2025: finishing the new Reclamation Operation before 2 December paid 200 Accolades.
• February 2026: Twitch Drops paid 100 Accolades for one hour of watch time, and a community goal of 300,000 Disruption completions paid 200.
• June 2026: surviving 30 Siege waves on any difficulty before 1 July paid 100.
• July 2026: completing three PvP matches during the Arch Enemies event paid 200.
• August 2026: completing three Chaos PvE missions before 8 September paid 100 Accolades and 150 Requisition Points.
• October 2026: Chaos on Avarax, worth 100 Accolades for a combined 15 waves in the new Chaos Siege, open until 3 November.

Events are announced in the monthly Community Update and on Steam news, usually alongside a patch. Checking once at the start of each month is enough to catch them.

Respecting the Cap: A Simple Weekly Plan

The Accolade balance has a ceiling. Players have reported it as 1,000, and when the community asked for 1,500 the developers replied in December 2025 that the cap would stay. That makes spending discipline part of farming. A simple weekly routine works well.

1. Wednesday or Thursday: run the weekly Stratagem on Normal, then on Hard with your regular squad.
2. Midweek: one Siege session to wave 15 on Normal, and a second on Hard if your team is ready.
3. Any evening: your Eternal War matches for the weekly PvP reward. The Eternal War tips post helps if PvP is not your usual mode.
4. Weekend: daily Stratagems and whatever event is live.
5. Before the next reset: if you are within a weekly haul of the cap, buy your next item.

Following that routine, a player who clears both difficulties reaches the 450 weekly figure, which puts a new Heroic weapon within reach roughly every week if a February 2026 guide's 300-Accolade price is still current. Check the shop for the actual price before planning around it.

Skipping the Rest of the Grind

Accolades only come from weekly play, but most other progression can be handled for you. The store's Space Marine 2 unlock all service covers PC, PlayStation and Xbox, and its page lists maxed PvP and PvE class levels, all weapon versions and perks, all Ordeals completed and the Research Center upgraded, done without logging into your account. The page does not list Accolades or Heroic items and describes content up to the 22 May 2026 update, so confirm with support what is covered before ordering.

The full range of Space Marine 2 services is on the Space Marine 2 store page.
