Space Marine 2 Dataslate Locations: All 35 Collectibles

There are 35 Dataslates in Space Marine 2: 23 across the seven campaign missions that have them and 12 in the six launch Operations, two per map. Finding all of them unlocks the Data Mining trophy or achievement, and none are permanently missable because you can replay any mission. Below is every Dataslate location, mission by mission, with the landmarks to look for and a few tips that make a clean sweep quicker as of November 2026.

We checked these locations against PowerPyx's full Dataslate guide and Game8's Operation walkthroughs, and cross-checked mission names with the official patch notes on Steam, in November 2026.

How Dataslates Work and How to Track Them

Dataslates are lore collectibles: short logs and reports that fill in the background of the war on Kadaku, Avarax and Demerium. They have no combat effect, but they are tied to the Data Mining trophy, and completionists will want every one. PowerPyx counts 35 in total, 23 in the campaign and 12 in Operations, and notes that the final campaign mission, Duty Without End, has none.

Before you start hunting, learn how to check what you are missing, because the game does not show a per-mission counter on the HUD.

• On the Battle Barge, open the menu (Touchpad on PS5, Menu on Xbox) and choose Dataslates Repository to see which ones you have collected.
• Campaign missions can be replayed at any time after you finish them, so a missed Dataslate only costs you a replay.
• Operations are launched from the data terminal to the left of the carrier ship on the Battle Barge, and every Operation can be repeated.
• Guides list a single position for each Dataslate with no difficulty variation, so the lowest setting is the quickest way to hunt them.

Operations also hide Gene-Seeds, which pay a squad XP bonus. If you are sweeping an Operation for Dataslates anyway, it is worth checking the Gene-Seed spots on the same run; our Gene-Seed locations guide lists them for the launch maps.

Campaign Dataslates: Skyfire, Severance and Machinus Divinitus

The first three missions hold 11 of the 23 campaign Dataslates. The order below follows the mission route.

Skyfire (4):

1. Stormtalon Crash, Kadaku: during Make Your Way Through the Swamp, keep left at the start of the swamp, shoot the exploding plants to open a hidden path and follow it to the dead end.
2. Admission of Desertion: same objective. After kicking the small wall, follow the path, drop off the broken bridge, then climb and drop down the right side of the large tower. It lies in front of a big tree root, before the ledge with human soldiers.
3. Anti-Tyranid Offensive, Kadaku: during Navigate Through the Base, ignore the main route through the tunnel and keep left until you reach a dead end.
4. Desired Purgation of Data: during Reach the Targeting System, on a table to the right of the elevator, before you ride it.

Severance (4):

1. Conflict, Adeptus Astartes/Tyranid, Kadaku: after the first kickable wall, pass the white tent, climb the slope where enemies spawn and look left behind a wrecked military vehicle.
2. Tyranid Attack, Designation: Rippers, Kadaku: just after leaving the jungle, check to the left of the first elevator by a red light.
3. Lamentation for Sacred Machines: after the flamethrower and power room, go through the Sector 614 door, use the left switch in the next room to open a door and follow that path to its end.
4. Summary, Tyranid Invasion, Kadaku: once you have the jump pack, fly from the first small cave up to the higher cliff; it is at the top.

Machinus Divinitus (3):

1. Attempted Liturgy for Burnt Capacitator: after extending the bridge and crossing into the next building, go left onto the roof.
2. Termination 101010-S: open the Sector 5 door with the wall panel, then go left, right, right, left, right to a dead end opposite the main path.
3. Improper Command: after the Carnifex fight and the metal bridge, open the gate with the wall panel, go to the end of the corridor and check the right-hand corner before the elevator assembly objective.

Campaign Dataslates: Servant of the Machine to Bellum Sempiternus

The remaining 12 campaign Dataslates are spread over four missions. The two jump pack sections in Severance and Voidsong are the ones players miss most, because the Dataslates sit on ledges above eye level.

Servant of the Machine (2):

1. Cannon Maintenance, 1.002.81: after the first elevator ride, walk around the left side; it is behind the elevator.
2. Tithe Collection, Avarax: during the second Advance to the Temple of Thassean objective, pass the winged statue, take the rubble path down, turn left and check the rubble alcove at the end, before the metal door.

Voidsong (3):

1. Potential Heresy, 2287.8: after opening the big red door, take the tunnels right first and then always left to a dead end; it is on a desk in the corner to the left of the main power-restoration door.
2. Potential Heresy, 2228.2: midway through Advance to the Relay Entrance, after the gate, use the jump pack to reach the destroyed balcony on the right.
3. Potential Heresy, 2289.5: after the relay boss and the elevator, go down the stairs; it is in the corner behind them, to the right of three flamethrower-armed humans.

Dawn's Descent (4):

1. Effects of Noctillith Exposure: after the yellow orb altar, jump pack up the platform and two cliffs, then check the left corner before flying to the cathedral.
2. Tomb Excavation, Analog Backup Log 8.6: after defending the cathedral, go left into the cemetery and stay on the leftmost path to a dead end between a crypt and a statue, marked by a green glow.
3. Tomb Excavation, Analog Backup Log 8.7: roughly ten minutes into the Ruins, after a later yellow orb altar, climb the stairs toward the floating sorcerer and turn left into a side area before using the elevator room.
4. Tomb Excavation, Analog Backup Log 9.9: during Advance to Aurora, after pushing the first yellow crate and clearing enemies, take the right path through the blue thorns and turn right; it is in front of a large mechanical head.

Bellum Sempiternus (3):

1. Effects of Warp Exposure: after passing friendly soldiers and dropping off a ledge, go left and then right to the end of the path.
2. Burial, Adeptus Astartes, Salamander Chapter: after the arena fight, in the back left corner of the sarcophagus room.
3. Amount of Deceased on Demerium: after the blue glowing tunnel, keep to the right.

Operations Dataslates: Two Per Launch Map

The 12 Operations Dataslates sit in the six Operations available at launch, two per map. Later Operations such as Termination, Obelisk and Purgation are not part of the 35 counted for the trophy in the guides we checked.

• Inferno: Amelioration of Improper Ordnance Storage is at the end of a bunker reached by going down the slope and keeping to the far right. Admiration of Promethium is in a left-hand alcove marked with a white 2, reached by taking the left ramp to the top after the terminal door and corridor, before the bridge elevator.
• Decapitation: Final Sermon is upstairs in the cathedral, on the left side of the enemy-filled hallway before you drop the ledge. Bridge Construction, Overseer Commentary is in the propeller tunnel about a minute after an elevator ride, in the right corner after the first enemy group.
• Vox Liberatis: Creation of Daemonhost, I is at the end of the right path after the first elevator, before the gate. Creation of Daemonhost, II is on a shelf to the right after you activate both elevator consoles and ride down to floor 01, before the yellow orb.
• Reliquary: Servitor Greeting, Demerium is up the stairs to the left of the green computer after the console gate. Heretic Attack, Demerium is on the balcony to the right inside the cathedral-like building, after the elevator that follows Return to the Main Hall and Unseal the Tomb.
• Fall of Atreus: Unauthorized Override Attempt is at the back of the room you drop into through the lifted stone after Clear the Passage, opposite the story path. Status Battle Barge, Sword of Atreus is in a left alcove on the tower with several metal ramps.
• Ballistic Engine: Missing Servo Hauler is on a table inside the first opening on the right after the big gate. War Preparation, Avarax is beside the parked tank at the back of the area two platforms below the control room, after Clear the Freight Way.

Tips for a Clean Sweep

A few habits save replays.

1. Hunt on the lowest setting. Minimal and Easy keep enemy pressure low so you can explore dead ends. Our difficulty levels guide explains what each tier changes.
2. Check the Repository after each mission rather than at the end, so you know exactly which mission to replay.
3. Use co-op wisely. In a squad, agree to wait at side paths; random teammates rushing the objective can trigger a checkpoint and pull you past a Dataslate. Playing across platforms with a friend works fine; see our crossplay guide for invite codes.
4. Combine goals in Operations. Thorough sweeps also improve your Extermination rank and turn up Gene-Seeds, which makes a collectible run double as an XP run. Our leveling guide explains those bonuses.
5. Look up for the jump pack sections. The Severance and Voidsong Dataslates on ledges are easy to fly past.
