Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2is finally here. The long-awaited sequel has finally launched on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC with the promise of chainswords, alien-smashing, and Chaos killing galore. While the game is a linear, story-driven experience, those who venture off the beaten path will discover the game’s sole collectibles; Dataslates.
What is a Dataslate?
Dataslates delve deeper into the lore of the Warhammer 40K universe by dropping additional details about the events taking place in-game. They’re a good way to better understand what’s happening behind-the-scenes, but aren’t necessary to understand the game’s campaign.
You’ll be able to recognize Dataslates in-game by their green glow. However, the light they give off isn’t that strong, so you’ll still need to do some searching. A general rule of thumb is that Dataslates will never be found in combat arenas. Instead, you’ll want to search for them after fights and in areas that are off the beaten path.

In total, the Kadaku campaign missions include 8 Dataslates to find.
Skyfire | 4 Dataslates
The first Dataslate can be found once you drop into the swamp. After moving past the weapon drop, to the left you’ll see some plans you can shoot. Moving past them brings you to a makeshift campsite with the Dataslate sitting on top of a box.
Dataslate #2 can be found after falling some Tyranids across a broken bridge. Beside the tower is a chasm. From there, you’ll be able to see the Dataslate right next to a tree trunk. Jump down into the chasm to claim the Dataslate.
Dataslate #3 is found within the bunker. You’ll happen upon a bloody room with the option to follow the hallway up some stairs. Go up the stairs to find the Dataslate at an altar.
The fourth and final Dataslate is found upon entering the satellite.Do NOTtake the elevator to go up. Instead, circle behind the elevator to find the Dataslate lying on the floor.
Severance | 4 Dataslates
Dataslate #1 can be found after passing underneath a bridge and coming upon a small base. You’ll see a path up and then you’re able to either go left or right. Go left and you’ll see a smoldering tank. The Dataslate lies behind the tank.
Dataslate #2 is found after crossing the large bridge and entering the Adeptus Mechanicus Facility. Once in, go straight to the back where a single red light can be seen. The Dataslate lies at the very back.
Dataslate #3 has a few more steps. In the facility, you’ll come across a room with several bodies and an unmarked green console. Interact with the console to open a door that releases a handful of Tyranids. After dispatching them, go inside and follow the light from a spitting fan. You’ll find the Dataslate lying in front of the fan.
Dataslate #4 comes after exiting the facility and acquiring the jetpack. Early in this section, you’ll pass through a cave. Look up, and you’ll see a ledge you can jump up on. Go ahead and do that, and you’ll find the Dataslate sitting near the edge by a corpse.
