Space Marine 2 has a lot to unlock - six classes, their weapons and weapon skins, a huge library of Chapter cosmetics, and Prestige rewards on top - and all of it is earned through play rather than any single "unlock all" option. This guide explains exactly how each unlock path works, why there is no one button, and the fastest way to get everything without grinding hundreds of missions per class.
There is no single "unlock all"
The first thing to know is that Space Marine 2 spreads its unlocks across several separate systems, each with its own currency or requirement. Searches for an "unlock all" cheat or mod reflect how grind-heavy it is - but the legitimate unlocks come from four main paths: class armour parts, weapon skins, Chapter cosmetics, and Prestige and event rewards. Understanding each one tells you where your time actually goes.
The four unlock paths
Each system works differently, which is why "just unlock everything" is a real time investment rather than a quick job.
| Unlock | How you earn it |
|---|---|
| Class armour parts | Complete Operations or win Eternal War matches - earned per class, no currency cost |
| Weapon skins | Tied to each weapon - e.g. a set amount of weapon XP in Operations, or wins in Eternal War |
| Chapter cosmetics (Heraldry) | Bought with Requisition Points from multiplayer, usually 30-50 each - account-wide once unlocked |
| Prestige and events | Prestige rewards at higher class levels, plus Accolades and event rewards |
The catch is scale. Armour parts unlock per class, so fully kitting out all six classes multiplies the grind sixfold, and weapon skins are earned weapon by weapon. Chapter cosmetics are the friendlier system - bought with Requisition Points and shared across all your classes from the Armouring Hall - but there are a lot of them. A note on honesty: some cosmetics are paid Season Pass or DLC content, and those are purchases, not grind unlocks.
Classes and weapons worth prioritising
Space Marine 2 has six classes - Tactical, Assault, Vanguard, Bulwark, Sniper and Heavy - and if you are unlocking everything, it pays to start with the class you actually enjoy, because that is where you will grind the most armour and weapon XP. Tactical is the flexible all-rounder most players lead with, while Bulwark and Heavy anchor teams in the harder Operations. Whichever you main, its weapon skins and armour come from putting hours into it specifically, which is the bulk of the unlock grind.
The fastest way to unlock everything
If grinding hundreds of Operations and Eternal War matches across six classes is not how you want to spend your time, the Space Marine 2 Unlock All service ($50) does the grindable unlocks for you on your own account - the class armour, weapon progression and cosmetics you would otherwise earn mission by mission. It covers what is actually unlockable through play; paid Season Pass and DLC items remain separate purchases. See it on the Space Marine 2 services hub.
Operations and Eternal War: where unlocks come from
Almost everything grindable in Space Marine 2 is earned in its two multiplayer modes. Operations is the three-player PvE co-op mode, where you level classes, earn weapon XP toward skins, and unlock armour parts by completing missions. Eternal War is the competitive PvP mode, which offers its own route to the same unlocks through wins. Which you prefer changes how you grind - PvE players chase Operations completions, PvP players bank match wins - but both feed the same class progression, so you can mix them based on what you enjoy.
Prestige and the long tail
Unlocking the basics is just the start. Once a class hits its PvE level cap, Prestige resets its level for a fresh climb and grants a cosmetic reward per rank, which is a long-tail goal for players who want everything. Accolades and event rewards add more on top. The practical takeaway is that "unlock everything" in Space Marine 2 is not a fixed finish line but a long accumulation across six classes, every weapon, the Chapter cosmetic library and the Prestige tracks - genuinely dozens of hours even for a focused player.
The bottom line
Space Marine 2 has no single unlock-all - it spreads progression across class armour, weapon skins, Chapter cosmetics and Prestige, all earned across Operations and Eternal War. Fully unlocking all six classes is a long grind, so if you want it done, the Unlock All service covers the grindable unlocks on your account (paid Season Pass and DLC items stay separate).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an unlock all option in Space Marine 2?
Not a single one. Unlocks are spread across class armour parts, weapon skins, Chapter cosmetics bought with Requisition Points, and Prestige and event rewards - each earned separately through play.
How do you unlock cosmetics in Space Marine 2?
Class armour parts come from completing Operations or winning Eternal War matches (per class, no cost); Chapter cosmetics are bought with Requisition Points from multiplayer (usually 30-50 each) and are account-wide from the Armouring Hall.
How do you unlock weapon skins in Space Marine 2?
Weapon skins are tied to each weapon - for example earning a set amount of weapon XP in Operations or a number of wins in Eternal War with that weapon. Fully unlocking an arsenal is a long per-weapon grind.
How many classes does Space Marine 2 have?
Six: Tactical, Assault, Vanguard, Bulwark, Sniper and Heavy. Armour unlocks per class, so fully kitting all six multiplies the grind.
Does the unlock service include paid DLC items?
No. A service covers what is unlockable through play - class armour, weapon progression and cosmetics. Season Pass and DLC cosmetics are separate purchases and are not grind unlocks.
What is the difference between Operations and Eternal War?
Operations is the three-player PvE co-op mode; Eternal War is competitive PvP. Both earn class progression, armour parts and weapon skins, so you can grind unlocks through whichever you prefer.
What does Prestige do in Space Marine 2?
When a class reaches its PvE level cap, Prestige resets its level for another climb and grants a cosmetic reward per rank. It is a long-tail goal for players chasing full completion.
