Where to find every Dataslate in Operations Mode in Space Marine 2?

Dataslates are like a sneak peek into what goes on in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. These collectibles are great for those who want a deeper look into the game. There are more than 30 dataslates in Space Marine 2. You can find most of them in Operations mode so here’s a quick run-through of where you should look.

1. Operation: Inferno Dataslates

There are two dataslates in Operation Inferno. 

The first one is right at the beginning of the mission. After you eliminate the Tyranids in the swamp area, look for an Imperial Guard bunker. It should be in an isolated location next to a heaping pile of garbage. Once you spot the fire, turn around and find another bunker. The first dataslate should be inside the bunker atop some crates.

When you reach the refinery, head inside to step into a massive hall. There’s an elevator at the end of the room. To its left, there should be a staircase connected to a ramp. Head up this path and keep to your left. You will soon find the second dataslate placed on a table.

2. Operation: Decapitation Dataslates

Make your way to the top of the chapel at the beginning of the mission. You will encounter some enemies so be careful. Don’t go to the rooftop. Instead, head to the balcony overlooking the chapel doorway via the giant archway. The dataslate will be near the double doors.

The second dataslate is inside the ventilation shaft. You will reach it after your squad takes out the bridge. Once you spot the Hive Tyrant, turn back and walk straight. Look for a small cupboard hidden away in a corner. The dataslate should be inside it.

3. Operation: Vox Liberatis Dataslates

Take the first elevator to the upper level of the city. Step out and keep going forward. Turn right and go down the ramp. Next, take a left turn to reach a set of stairs. Head up the stairway. The dataslate will be right to your left on a stack of crates.

The squad will step on a big elevator going down. Once it stops, find a set of stairs next to the final door. There’s no need to proceed any further. You will find the dataslate on a box next to the stairs.

4. Operation: Reliquary Dataslates

The first dataslate is in the catacombs. In the main hall containing catacombs, look for a staircase on the left. Head up where you will find the dataslate tucked away in a far-left corner.

The second dataslate is inside the gatehouse on the bridge. This is where you will encounter Heldrakes. Enter the gatehouse then turn right, and right again. Look for a crate; the dataslate will be on top of it.

5. Operation: Fall of Atreus Dataslates

Drop down the underground chamber under the chapel. Go around to the back of the chamber. Look for a statue. The dataslate will be right beside it on the floor.

The second dataslate is inside the industrial area. You will face off against the Dreadnought here. Keep going about the main mission as you normally would. Right before the next encounter, go up the ramp and turn left. The dataslate will be in the corner on top of some boxes.

6. Operation: Ballistic Engine Dataslates

Immediately after the sandstorm area, you will enter a room with a corridor on the right. Walk along the corridor to find an open room. The dataslate will be on top of a table.

Go to the transit station. As you drop down to the main rail platform, turn left and keep going along the left wall. You will soon see an armored vehicle next to a biomass pile. The second dataslate will be on a pair of crates nearby.
